Anyone need anything?

Isn't it kind of hot today for chowdah?

Greg, you are always so kind and thoughtful!

I need you to start a new thread with the recipe!

Nobody would be able to find the recipe if you post it here or in one of your dozens of other ongoing threads, as you well know.

Hmm... that depends, Greg.

Where are you shopping?

OMFG I LOVE haddock chowder!!! Screw the corn, make PROPER Maine haddock chowder - just potatoes, onions, fish, and cream!

NO ROUX. Chowder made with a roux are inferior to proper Maine chowder, where the broth is made of the naturally thickened potato water and the cream. I will accept no dissent on this!

R5, I agree with you wholeheartedly!

My chowders are not thick and gloppy.

They are made of rich fish stock with some heavy cream.

As you say, the chowder thickens from the potato starch and the cream.

Will do, R3!

Hello! I will share this recipe later on, but just let me say how delicious this haddock and corn chowder was.

It was one of the best chowders I’ve ever eaten.

Back to the bricks!

R1, it is never too hot for chowder.

New Englanders always eat chowder in the summer.

It’s what one does.

How will you prepare the haddock, Greg? Adore corn chowder. First had it as a student at BU.

Hi, R11!

The haddock fillet went straight into the chowder and cooked gently.

You will love this chowder!

[quote] P.S. Why do so many people fuck with you?

I’m not entirely sure. Personal dissatisfaction? Jealousy? It’s a bit of a mystery.

[quote]it is never too hot for chowder.

If you say so! I'm a transplant so that explains it.

Sooner or later everyone who authenticates all of their posts gets attacked.

It's just the way it is, they are seen as attention-seeking, self-aggrandizing and attempting to create a "persona" on the Datalounge rather than just being a normal, anonymous user of the site.

I'm not wild about authenticators but I'm not a Greg-hater. He seems fine to me, I like his food threads. I'm just explaining some of the reasons why I think he gets attacked all the time. Authenticating just puts a target on your back, I don't see any need for it.

Thanks, R14.

You don’t see any need for what? Authenticating or attacking those who are authenticated?

I suspect you mean the latter.

Also, posting hundreds and hundreds of times a day tends to draw scorn, authenticated or otherwise.

That's true, R16. Sometimes I'm away from the DL for weeks, even months at a time. Other times I'm bored and I'm on all the time. When I'm on all the time I notice that I begin to draw the ire of certain other posters - they're the ones who are always on all of the time.

Greg, I actually don't see the need for authenticating and I'd prefer it if no one did it. I also don't see the need for attacking those who do authenticate but I don't know, it's weird. That bunch of lesbians who insist on authenticating like some chick-clique of the Datalounge are so fucking annoying. In their case it is attention-seeking and it is attempting to have "personas" on the DL. Blech. Automatic F&F whenever I see them, don't give a fuck what they're yapping about.

Thanks for the explanation, R14. I guess what you said shows that there are some real cunts on here who are mean or have low self-esteem.

I have good memories of going to school in Boston so that's definitely a reason for me to notice Greg.

Where is your fishmonger, Greg? I lost my last one a couple years ago…

^^ Depends on if you’re asking about Boston or the Cape.

Bring back some beer. I'm out.

[quote]R11: —P.S. Why do so many people fuck with you?

I doubt it's anything like "so many." There's probably just a couple of actual users who are dedicated haters, each with a couple dozen sock accounts between them, which they use to hound Greg from thread to thread.

You haven’t died yet?

[quote] You haven’t died yet?

No.

Not yet.

But soon.

R25, you are not a nice person.

I ❤️ the FF button.

"P.S. Why do so many people fuck with you?"

There are always jealous bitches here who will attack any authenticated posted who gets more attention or admiration than they do, they really are just jealous and are easy to ignore. But apparently Greg has attracted the notice of some batshit crazy paranoiac, who has been going both batshit and apeshit in the Kiwi Farms thread.

Personally I rather like Greg, he seems basically good-natured even when having to deal with a complete loon attacking him, and he's definitely a useful citizen of the Datalounge. The Datalounge Detective Squad should ask him to be their caterer.

Hey! What about us? The Datalounge Innocence Evaluation Team needs some catering too!

[quote] Depends on if you’re asking about Boston or the Cape.

Where do you go in the city for good fish?

In the city? I'd recommend Wulf's (Greg may use someone else) but if you're really serious you might take a ride to New Bedford.

I agree with R31. I have always purchased seafood from Wulf’s and counted on Alan Wulf to provide me with not only the freshest seafood, but always the most perfect looking uniform cuts.

Alan would give me 20 or 100 pieces of the most perfect salmon. Uniform thick 6-ounces pieces with the bones removed. Or the most beautiful uniformly-thick pieces of cod.

For many years I went to their shop at Harvard Street in Brookline (there since 1926), until they they closed in 2016 to change their business model. For the last couple of years, they’ve been on the Boston Fish Pier and are selling wholesale to upscale clients like Daniel, the French Laundry, and Jean-Georges.

I have a relationship with Wulf’s, so still can purchase fish from them for important dinners and events, or if I’m making a crudo, tartare, or ceviche and want the freshest and highest quality seafood.

For small, weeknight home dinners, I often just go to Whole Foods.

Thank you, R28.

Terrific Greg. Thanks for the recommendation of which I cannot avail myself. Soooooo helpful 🙄

R34. You asked me, “Where do you go in the city for good fish?”

I answered your question.

You did not ask me for a recommendation.

In any case, you can’t go to Whole Goods?

I told you that’s where I go for weeknight home dinners.

You seem lazy.

Greg- they're probably going to be out of haddock, and I'd suggest buying hake anyway, it tastes the same and is half the price.

Who is going to be out of haddock, R36?

Are you clairvoyant?

R35 CORRECTION;

Whole Foods

I've got the munchies Greg. What do you suggest?

Perhaps some toast with avocado?

I need a good spanking.

^ No doubt.

^ That made me laugh.

GREG’S SELFMADE PROCEDURE FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS

1) Don’t be helpful

2) Make a snarky accusation

3) Punch self in ballsack as self-congratulation

^ 🥱

Hell ya R44!

I’m afraid both R44 and R46 are incompetents.

I really doubt that.

Especially in the case of R44.

GAG02116.

U got it R50!

Thank you, R50.

That is definitely a compliment coming from you.

Greg, you know this bitchfighting is beneath you.

Tell us what's for dinner, please. It's much more interesting.

I used to lover corn chowder but now I can't eat it because I am borderline diabeets. I have to watch the carbs.

[quote] Greg, you know this bitchfighting is beneath you. Tell us what's for dinner, please. It's much more interesting.

I know, R53. Apologies.

For dinner I’m making oven-fried chicken, mashed potatoes, wilted spinach, and buttermilk biscuits.

How about you?

I'm with R53. Meal plans are recipes are far more interesting than bitchfighting.

I'm being very boring - curried chicken salad on croissant with tomato and lettuce and a cold beet salad, lazy as usual.

Gerg is a curator of shigellosis, beware!

I have no idea what "shigellosis" is so I'm not worried about it.

R59, the amusing thing is, that R58 would only know about shigellosis, because he’s had it.

Perhaps more than once.

You know I’m right.

Or they’re medically educated you ghastly asshat

[quote] Or they’re medically educated you ghastly asshat

Highly unlikely.

I don’t think R58 pursued studies following his GED.

But you are sweet to defend such an abhorrent individual.

I am he, faggot.

Greg has resurrected his Lipstick Lesbian sock puppet finally.

It was only a matter of time. "She" brought "him" big ratings/traffic.

24 hours with ZERO posts from Greg (not counting his bringing back the Lipstick Lesbian character this morning).

Is Greg finally done?

I think so!!!

Die, anti-Greg troll!

You're a bazillion times worse than Greg himself.

F&F the sheep, R67!

I feel like starting a “Gays, REJOICE! Greg is GONE!” thread a la the Brooklyn 🌊 🐄 EDWlN.

What a glorious day! 🥗 🍽️ 🍷

I still don't get . I mustn't have been around much when he was rampaging/discovered whatever he was back when he became a Datalounge troll-thing.

It's okay - I don't have to know all the trolls who pass through but I'm curious. Is there a thread dedicated to an explanation of the saga?

Oh my god. His name disappeared from my post at R70.

Wow. The only person I can recall that happening to is Davida Rochelle and that "wore off" after a while. The fat old hotel maid herself remains on the DL and I catch a big rancid whiff of her now and then.

Matthew Anscher also used to have his name forbidden, but it faded away.

EDWlN still has its name forbidden.

And now Greg has joined the list. (I assume that his name won’t be there after I hit Post).

R71, you’re drunk. Greg still appears. Unfortunately.

Of course he's not gone. He'd be redlined. At best he's been given a time out. Here's a recent thread where he threatened Muriel herself.

MURIEL!!! WHY DID YOU RED-TAG GREG AND NOT THE PSYCHO WHO'S STALKING HIM?

Fear not, R75.

I was away visiting a friend.

The timeout expired.

^ [bold] WRONG [/bold]

How old are you, Greg?

Why do you ask?

Because you seem pathetic and lost.

You should have said do from the start.

I can assure you, I am hardly lost.

You are so lost

Okay

[quote] Because you seem pathetic and lost.

[quote] I can assure you, I am hardly lost

Bwahahahahhahahhaha! 😂

I suppose if you count these things as indicators of one's being lost, then I'm lost.

Successful career

Loving long-term relationship/marriage with an amazing man

A family whom I love

Lots of friends

Financial security and two homes that I adore

The ability to do what I like

If this is lost, then great—I'm lost!

Congrats on all the things that define your in-lostness Greg. I’m just chuckling because when someone called you pathetic and lost, you refuted only one of those.

Pathetic is in the eyes of the beholder.

I don’t believe here is any evidence to suggest that I am pathetic, but it’s not for me to say.

Greg, I'm on an empanada kick. I would like to make a guava and cheese empanada using Guava Gourmet jam and cream cheese, but that filling gets too hot and bubbles out of the empanada before it is finished air-frying. When I bite into the empanada to discover there is just a trace of the filling that once was, the feeling reminds me of when I was poor and would dream of finding $20, and wake up to a tightly clenched yet empty fist. Disappointed is not a strong enough word.

I have fried-fried a guava empanada before, and didn't leak at that time. Do I need to lower my air fryer temperature and cook it longer, or raise the temp and cook it for a shorter period? If you have any quibbles with this "recipe", don't just tut-tut me, please tell me what substitutions I should make.

Thank you.

"Because you seem pathetic and lost."

A person who's devoted weeks or months to harassing a total stranger online is calling OTHER people "pathetic and lost"????????????

Anyway, Greg, empanada recipes are just the ticket! Vegetarian savory recipes are particularly welcome... cheese and corn, maybe? Mushroom fillings, maybe, or something involving olives? Thanks in advance!

Guava and cheese, mmmmmm!

One of my favorite restaurants had a terrific spinach salad that they would serve accompanied by provolone cheese rolled around a stick of guava jelly.

Thinking of that in deep-friend bliss is triggering my salivaria!

Delusion is the greatest aphrodisiac, R86.

That’s fine, R92.

What you think means absolutely nothing to me.

Peace.

Thank you, R90.

I’ll look into some empanada recipes.

Greg, any suggestions on the guava and cheese empanada?

Not yet, but I’ll give it some thought and explore some recipes and get back to you, R89.

R91, since Greg isn't around, I found us this:

I'm going to make the guava cream cheese cake when I get guava paste.

I made an empanada of keema biriyani.

Hi everyone!

R99 Lie down (you are dead).

That’s my new line: [Get a fucking blog.]
