More garlic burgers, grilled medium rare, dressed with tomatoes, onions, and avocados. An American classic that's far too easy to both fuck up and execute perfectly. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
I envy you right now. We have some awesome beef in the fridge, but my wife keeps saying it's for a lasagna and I'm not allowed to touch it. So i just had some pan-fried Chinese chicken dumplings and a Scotch ale. Can't complain, I guess...:D

Take some chopped up garlic cloves and mix them into your meat' date=' that's all there is to it, and the combination is magical. I can't believe you've never had one, they're wonderful.[/quote'] I will have to tell my dad about this, he might actually have made them once or twice but if not then he needs to know.

Microwave red thai curry. I should buy more of these.
Curry is in general great, although the things can go brutal later, after the meal haha! Indian food in general is taste, but I don't know if I could eat it everyday (like the indian people do). My stomach would protest very hard at some point ;) Edit: Yeah, I've read indian, not thai, don't know why haha

@Atrocity is sarma a traditional croatian dish? Because we have a very similar one here in Poland, called 'gołąbki'. And by the way, many polish people goes to Croatia on holiday, and they always say that croatian are the best hehe. So eating a balcan food would be a nice try I guess.
No, originally it's a Turkish dish, but we see it as Bosnian. Bosnia has a lot of Turkish dishes that came to Croatia. Turkish sarma is a bit smaller than the one we make. How do you make gołąbki? :)

Hah, I grew up eating those. Almost always with ground beef, although my mom used turkey instead sometimes. My maternal grandmother is Polish. But the family always pronounced it "ga-lump-kee", so I'm surprised to see it spelled that way. The "l" with a slash through it is more like an English "w", right?

Well, Bosnia is now a muslim country, and they had been under a big influence of Turkey, so I don't find it strange. But we also have many dishes with origin from the east. Anyway, our gołąbki are pretty big. Just read here, on Wiki. I guess that it all tastes the same, but maybe I'm wrong :) @deathstorm we eat kielbasa here since childhood, so we used to it. But maybe for peple from the abroad it is a bomb indeed hehe. It's like with mentioned indian food - they like it, and they have no problem with such spicy flavour, 'cause they used to it. Edit: and don't beliece that we eat it on Christmass or wedding, like Wiki says. I've been on many weddings, and never ate there gołąbki haha! And in Poland traditional Christmass dishes are without meat.

Yeah, we never had them on special occasions... they were everyday food. Kind of hard to look forward to that special Christmas meal of ground beef and boiled cabbage. :D When he says kielbasa is "the bomb", the expression means it's really good. Not a gut bomb like Indian food can be (love some Indian food, too, though). edit - Oh cool, I didn't know how to pronounce that "a" - and I can't find a code for the character either. Thanks!

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
