Need Digital TV Antenna Advice ASAP

jazzomine

Thanks, everyone for all of the advice. Was too busy frantically buying and setting everything up, making chjili, and nursing my hangover to reply until now, but you all were very helpful. I bought a (returnable) digital antenna at P.C. Richards. When I got home, I realized that they neglected to tell me that the converter box was a separate item that I needed. I called 7 or 8 places (all the while browning my short ribs in batches) until I located a Radio Shack in the South Slope that had one in stock. The nice young man agreed to set it aside for me. After assembling the rest of the chili and humoring a New York Post photographer with some photos, I persuaded him to drive me down so that he could take shots of me actually buying the other part (also returnable). On my walk back, I ran into a neighbor who actually had the whole setup in his car, as he just got cable. Mercifully, the chili had not burned and the setup worked just fine. No shower for me, but oh well.

For the person who asked, I kinda winged it on the short rib chili recipe, but it was killer and definitely worth repeating. Cut some bacon up into small pieces and rendered it in a big cast iron pot. Browned the short ribs, which has been cubed and tossed with salt in batches in the bacon fat. Threw in a bunch of onions and garlic, then a wide variety of chiles - fresh and pickled jalapenos, habanero powder, chipotles in adobo, cayenne, probably some others I am missing - plus chili powder, oregano, cumin and the tiniest pinch of cinnamon. Added canned whole tomatoes, cilantro stems, the bacon, beer and a little brown sugar. Then simmered the whole thing for about six hours until the meat was falling apart and the sauce had reduced and was thick, rich and velvety. Threw in the chopped cilantro leaves at the end. Served it with jack cheese, diced avocado, scallions, sour cream, etc. There were no leftovers.
