Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

[ScriptOhio]

Staying home is getting pretty old, just watched Mission Impossible 3, Tom Cruise saved the world again.... However, Sunday at Aldi I got these items for a meal:

The wife cooked it today. It really made a great fish and chips lunch. The fish and fries cook in the oven at basically the same temperature, ready in 20 - 25 minutes. Cooking on a wire mesh try where both sides brown worked out good too:



It was a good as fish and chips from a English pub (but without the pub atmosphere though).

Is that the one where JJ Abrams saved Tom Cruise's career?

I wasn't aware Cruise's career was in trouble; however, I don't follow the "Hollywood gossip" that close either. JJ Abrams was the director of the movie though.

Maybe "saved the franchise" would have been better. I feel like MI are the only money makers Cruise has had in the past 10-15 years. Top Gun might break that streak. Maybe jack Reacher, but I have seen either of those.

Cruise was doing better before MI3. That was his 6th straight 100M+ US box office. Edge of Tomorrow was the only non-MI flick since then to break 100M.

Maybe jack Reacher, but I have seen either of those.

I haven't either, but Reacher's primary quality is his size . Bizarre casting.

?? Basically every Cruise-starring movie has made well over $100M (though certainly not all turned a profit) - including Valkyrie, Knight & Day, both Reachers, Oblivion, American made, and of course The Mummy.

edit: I see now you are using only domestic, but I don’t see that as meaningful of a number as it used to be. It’s clear from the int’l numbers that Tom Cruise is still a worldwide draw.

They haven’t made a movie about Jack Reacher yet just like they’ve never made a Dirk Pitt movie

Edit: I make a joke about they haven’t made a Jack Reacher movie then realize they made 2 and I had seen both LOL I didn’t even remember the 2nd

Oblivion was an underrated flick

His career was not nor is now dead. I was strictly commenting on exhawg's. MI3 was the end of a more consistent run. Not that he's hurting since.

Well, at least you can middle finger the gout.

Nothing there too terrible: no red meat, no shellfish, no oily fish (mackerel, sardines etc), mushrooms or organ meats. Considering I'm not drinking because of the Norco, no alcohol. All in all, about as gout friendly as I'm capable of.

It looks fantastic

This is from a couple of weeks ago. It's a seafood lasagne (shrimp and bay scallops) with a little bit of spinach.
