My girlfriend just got the sweetest sachs and some potato gratin

Sorry it's been so long, but I've been busy!!!
First and foremost, i finally tried to make something a little more elegant and fuck it was good. probably the best. Super savory and pulled like eight servings. So rich it put my entire house to sleep while we tried to watch a movie.

Oh yeah, and maggie got a sachs. It was a steal at 400 bucks and the kid though it had a bad unfixable exhaust leak when the decomp hole just needed some fiddlin. We took the side covers of for ultra aggressive styling. Totally fresh, we took some metal cleaner and soap and got her all pretty ricky :

She kinda needs a new helmet, I mean it looks cool but its super outdated and will probably kill her if she crashes.










Pretty little thing, after a carb clean and fixing the decomp hole it kinda ripped for a 505-a. Sturdy, cushy ride that will last a million miles. SWEET! Also note: COASTER BRAKES AHHHH. Siqq.
It was pretty funny to take the exhaust on and off over and over again with Brian trying to seal an exhaust clamp that wasn't leaking. All she needs now is a few minor this and she'll be ridin with the pack before I am.

 This is how she looked from out of the barn we got it from. You can probably imagine how pleasantly surprised we were.

In celebration, we made some potato gratin, gumbo and biscuits. Super decadent.

Potato au Gratin.

chop up some savoy cabbage, a whole head. leave out the core you fucking retard (sorry). the outer leaves are also pretty hard digest so I'd leave those out. Turn on a skillet and fry up some bacon. I used liked five stripes cut into half inch chunks. When its browning throw some salt and pepper and a table spoon of butter. after its all melty throw the savoy cabbage and cover it with the liquidy goodness. i add a tablespoon of butter cut up into fours on top to make sure everything gets nice and shiny.

Butter up a pan. slice some potatoes and put them in a bowl with a cup of heavy cream and grate some of that sexy sexy parm. Get the good shit, who do you think you are, Chris?

Make a layer with that mixture and grate a nice layer of snow on top of that. and do it again. then throw that cabbage shit on top. a layer of snow and two more layers of that potato junk. top it off with the rest of that wedge of parm, two cups of heavy cream and the rest of the cream you mixed those potatoes in. bake in an oven preheated to 450 and leave it in for an hour. covered. in aluminum. take the aluminum like ten minutes before its done and it might turn out like this if you're lucky.

Rain. Raein.

Today was pretty ugly outside and the garage we rent out leaks a TON from the ceiling. So all i could really do is move the bikes around to avoid the oncoming flood. I did start the yamaha and she kicked right over.

I instead got a ticket for rolling through a stop sign, so I'm a hundred bucks further from getting a big motorcycle.

upside-Made the best fish and chips ever...

It was just feeding me and sean so we just bought two catfish filets, two russets and two red potatoes. We tried to cut them into planks but we were only working with butterknives. it was retarded and i blame sean completely for having a worthless kitchen (but a new gas stove which was cranked up to like 4-5 hundo at the time to get real hot with the pan in). We wound up with completely non uniform potato chunks (sean), but four was definately WAY too many potatoes.

cover them in some olive oil , coarse black peppa some salt and a handful of rosemary. be pretty liberal with all of them but i mean, don't go crazy. spread em thighs on the pan, listen to that awesome crackle and sizzle. throw it in, leave the oven light on and watch it. DON'T open the stove like that idiot sean.

oh, this whole time your filets should have been soaking in milk. (butter milk? coconut milk? malk? nah we just used regular milk and it was still pretty damn good)
beat some eggs in one dish, make a spice rub (garlic powder, salt, pepper, minced garlic and a tea or tablespoon of cumin i dunno i didn't measure it)  in another and then figure something for the breading(we used flour and panko crumbs).
Fill the cast iron with enough peanut oil (this is actually kind of specific due to the high smoke temperature....SCIECNE!)
when the oil gets hot enough, pull out your kitchen thermometer and make sure its at 375, just kidding. just throw some flour in and see if it fries thoroughly within a few seconds.
 dip a piece of fish into the egg, then the spice then the flour/breadcrumb then drop it in the oil. hot oil.
lift up a cutlet and if its a little more than tan then flip it. I fit about five each batch, but im poor and had to steal my moms cast iron skillet from her.
when its done, throw it in a collander to let the oil out. your potatoes are probably done. they need a tiny bit more salt and peppa. throw everything together and hit it with half a lemon and some vinegar. serve with water and basket case because you have to go to work in like fifteen minutes.

Let's get decadent.

Did I tell you that I got a derbi?
It's been carting me and Maggie around for a bit and i can't explain how incredibly janky it is. Complete piece of shit, but a motor that won't die. Looks like i bought it for  eighty bucks, but really i bought it for eighty seven. Fast as hell stock and rips up hills doubles.
Yes. I have a running moped again.

I pulled out the Yamaha today. I slipped on the carb real tight and ran some new fuel like. Fifteen seconds later i was racing up and down the alley. I missed that thing, so beefy and so quick. I realize now that the tank is pretty dirty but luckily i have some evporust. That thing is the next thing to live. I'm thinking about throwing on some clubmans and pulling a ton of the excess shit off of it and making it exactly what it should be. Alright, so I'm copying off nash a bit. suck it.

wait. TWO RUNNING BIKES? I'm on a roll.

Dinner:
 Crawfish baked mac and cheese.

Preheat your oven to 400. You want it roaring hot. In the meantime Cook two boxes of macaroni  and set the powdered shit off to the side. I generally like that powdered cheese but I had a ton of the good stuff so I just saved it for later. I did mine in boiling water for five minutes, letting the macaronis only cook halfway. in that five minutes cube and grate four cups of any mixture cheese. I used habanero cheddar and an extra sharp cheddar. Butter up whatever pan you're using. I used cast iron. Because cast iron is amazing. There should be more cylinders made from cast iron. shit is bulletproof. Grab your crawdish, put some lemon juice and some green onions and let that chill out for a bit. Eat some of it. It tastes great. I threw in some ceyanne and paprik to that mix. in a small bowl mix three eggs, two cups of milk and two tablespoons of whatever you think is good. I used one old bay and another paprika. And a pinch of cayenne and a handful of salt and pepper.

But I'm riskier than you.

Layer the macaroni in the bottom of your pan. then layer the crawfish. then three cups of cheese and mix it a tiny bit. but not too much. Actually just put in two cups. mix it then put the rest of the cheese on top. work fast, like when you're using liquid gasket on the base mating surfaces. pour on the egg/milk/season mixture. cover with like half a cup or a cup of breadcrumbs and the leftover cheese

toss it in, let it sit for five minutes then turn it down to 375.

you have a half hour. go smoke a cigarette and make sure your derbi runs.

open the oven. is it bubbly up top? is it brown too?. perfect.

eat it. (with collard greens and sleepytime iced tea while watching batteries not included.)

I'm going to finish rasputin.

finally got a base gasket solution for the maxi, now i just gotta install the chain, slap the estroli on, install some brakes and wire it up. which i've done about a million times so it should be cake.

party!

hmmm

ok. so the e50 is almost rebuild, pulled off all the electronics and wiring and other horseshit i didn't need. complete redo. looks nice so far.


peugeot has a shiny new intake AND carb. and i actually got it to run for a bit. its still QUICK. super quick with the 16.16. i should probably give that the whole redo thing too.

i picked up a hobbit. rebuilt the carb and am starting the redo.


lots of time on my hands, shiny new garage. dirty bikes. perfecto!!!!!
