re: Maque Choux Recipe
Posted by msap9020 on 3/23/26 at 12:43 pm to MorbidTheClown
I have used this Southern Living recipe for years and the family loves it:
Ingredients
6 ears of corn, one layer of husks peeled back, silks trimmed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 celery stalks, diced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small poblano or jalapeño pepper, diced
1 medium-sized Vidalia onion, chopped
8 slices of bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Grill corn: Preheat the grill to medium heat (350°-400°F). Clean and oil grill grates.
Grill corn in husks over direct heat. Turn a few times over 20 minutes, looking for even grill marks around the whole cob. You can bake the corn in the oven as well if you don't want to grill
Let cool, then cut off the cob over a bowl.
Take a second pass with the blunt edge of the knife, pressing in to get some of the corn milk to release.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon, drain half of grease, reserving extra for gravies or other applications.
Melt butter in skillet with bacon grease. Add onion, celery, and peppers. Cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add corn, corn milk, and seasonings. Mix well.
Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
Add cream to corn mixture, and simmer for 10 minutes, folding mixture to be sure liquid bathes the veggies. Once liquid has reduced slightly, take off heat. Stir in bacon.

re: Social Security has 6 years left, cut benefits or raise taxes?

Cut benefits. If you are relying on SS when you retire you are screwed anyway.

I’m curious if it has the capabilities to place FW’s as needed for shipping of spools. How does it, or can it address continuations on other ISOs?
This is exactly where I was headed but if you watch the video it looks like it counts every connection. So maybe it counts the called out FWs as FWs and the other connections that aren't bolted as shop welds.

Yes - $2500 is pretty good for 7 years unlimited.

He feeds the isometric drawings into the tool and it gives an Excel file as an output with all the details that you need regarding types of welds, carbon steel vs stainless steel etc.
Besides the welds cant you get the same data in table form from most design software??
ETA: As stated in my earlier post I finally was able to watch the video and the initial article sells the capabilities short. The app actually performs a full material take off (MTO). Pretty damn impressive

extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code.
So does it basically perform an MTO? Does it measure quantities? Because those 3 steps don't feel like 10 minutes per drawing. I think it may do more than stated based on the timelines provided. Unless its counting shop welds which I'm not sure an app would be able to do from an iso. Normally you would only have 1-3 welds per drawing and they are pretty obviously called out. It would take a human about 30 seconds to perform a field weld count on an iso. The commodity codes and specs are on the BOM so they are basically already in list form on the drawing itself or at least they should be on a decent iso.
Lot of questions. This sounds cool but would like a better understanding of what exactly the app does.
ETA: Watched the video. The app actually does a detailed MTO and it looks like they are calling out shop welds on the iso which Im not accustomed to. In my day those were only on cut sheets. Very impressive piece of work by this guy. Wish I would have had this back in my field project controls days.

Bosch is awesome.
Couldn’t get into The Wire
Writer/Producer are the same but the source material is very different. If you ever get a chance pick up Homicide: A year on the killing streets by David Simon and you will see the point of view and style are very different from any of the Bosch novels Connely authored. Homicide, which is the basis for The Wire, is much more real/gritty and as someone said, focuses on the cops, politicians and criminals and how they operate and less on actually solving crimes like the Bosch novels.
