  1. I'm too late. Dang. And apparently that's not the only one:
  2. How to get wimmenz to buy? I present to you ... Pumpkin Spice Bourbon. Who wants to invest?
  3. Uh, you don't "buy" a companion pass. You earn it by accumulating points. Those same points can then be used for flights, they aren't consumed by getting a companion pass.
  4. Had this exact argument with a buddy. Not sure where I stand on it now/
  5. Not sure, maybe I'm missing something. Like 4th above, I transfer points to SWA when flights are available for few points and then couple with a companion pass to get the highest $/pt value I see in all of my uses.
  6. Couldn't agree more. Doesn't mean I'd want to trade my life to go back, but there was a LOT to love.
  7. I most certainly DON'T want college football to be like the NFL. In fact, I don't like the playoff system at all, and prefer the old bowl system even back before the BCS (git off my lawn, I guess). But, if you are going to have a playoff, I think that all major conference champions should be automatically in it, and the conferences can decide themselves how to determine their champion. If they want to risk the "4 loss team beating the undefeated one in conference championship" scenario, they can. But they don't have to.
  8. Someone else was comparing to basketball. I thought NFL was a little more relevant. My bad.
  9. In the NFL, if a 10-6 Baltimore knocks off a 15-1 Pittsburgh in the Divisional playoff game, does that mean that the regular season didn't matter, and that the playoff format is bad?
  10. Oh my goodness, the LIGHT Karo on pancakes? That's nuts. My dad loved loved LOVED the dark Karo on his. While I much preferred the standard "Mrs Butterworth's", "Log Cabin", or whatever, at least the dark Karo was edible. I consider the light is just for (very limited) use in some recipes, myself.
  11. Gotta go ahead and disagree there, but of course context matters. Handful of dry raisins? Blech. Cooked in oatmeal on top of the stove, getting all plump and juicy, then coated with a little brown sugar and cinnamon? Mmmmmmmm.
  12. Finally!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. If you add enough brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins such that it's approaching some type of cinnamon roll sweetness, though, even my kids would eat it once a week in grade school.
  14. There was a time when I would have said "oatmeal with brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins." While still pretty tasty on occasion, ain't nowhere near the top. Can't believe none of you fitness freaks that make up this place haven't dropped "oatmeal" even once.
  15. Breakfast isn’t a time. It’s a mindset. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  17. IIRC, Mangia at ABIA used to have a breakfast pizza that I'd get on occasion, and it was pretty damned good.
  18. C'mon, I've now seen this two (or more?) times. Don't get me wrong, I will eat a couple of slices of cold pizza for breakfast and think it's juuuuuuuust fine. Overall, pizza is perhaps my favorite food. But when the topic is "best breakfast food", you're saying that you'd pick leftover, cold pizza over everything else?
  19. Speaking of which, this is awesome. I make it with sourdough bread: https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-grilled-cheese-breakfast-sandwich-breakfast-recipes-from-the-kitchn-219161
  20. English muffin with peanut butter and bacon? Intrigued.
  21. Hmm, you seem to align with my friends. To me, the rich yolks soaking into the fluffy pancake, the combination of sweet syrup with just-salty-enough eggs, is awesome. I'm hungry.
  22. Ah, I remember the old "Bisquick Shake-and-pour" days... Not good pancakes, but as you say, good enough for little kids in a pinch. Never really understood pancake mixes. I mean really, it's like 3 or 4 (depending on recipe) dry ingredients. Takes a few seconds longer than dumping out of a box, and avoids some of the nasty preservatives and stuff. Alton Brown had a "Good Eats" episode showing you how to make your own pancake mix for buttermilk pancakes. Then you use it like any other, combining at certain ratios with the eggs and milk. Really pretty good, in my opinion.
