    We have a pretty good thread on it around here. But don’t overthink it.
    Dark roux. Add trinity and garlic. Add REAL stock (seafood, chicken, turkey, etc.)
    Add your meat/seafood at appropriate times (shrimp cook fast, if adding chicken, a pro tip is to smoke it first, add sausage earlier so it flavors the dish more). Add okra if you want, file if you want. Add a little soy sauce or fish sauce to level up? Maybe save that trick for later. Add a can of tomatoes and green Chiles? If you want to, sure.
    Serve over rice. Add a scoop of potato salad if you’re feeling it. Top with some chopped green onion, a splash or 20 of your favorite Louisiana hot sauce (Crystal for me, a NOLA favorite). Eat, maybe with some crusty French bread. But know that it’s better the next day.

    Ingredients:
    3/4 cup oil
    1 cup flour

    1# smoked sausage; in 1/4” rounds
    3 chicken thighs, diced into 1/2” squares
    2 anchovy fillets

    2 Onions diced
    1 green bell beeper diced
    3 stalks celery diced
    5 cloves garlic minced

    2 quarts homemade stock

    1/2 pound okra fresh or frozen cut into 1/2” slices

    Thyme, bay leaves, Tabasco, Worcestershire, salt pepper, cayenne

    Filé Powder
    Cooked Rice
    Green onions

    Steps:
    1. Make a roux as dark as you like
    2. In a Dutch oven, brown sausage and render out some fat. Remove when brown.
    3. Brown chicken thighs in batches. Try not to crowd the pan. Remove when brown
    4. Add veggies, anchovies, and some salt and pepper, stir occasionally until water is released, veggies are soft, and the pan is deglazed, add some water to help deglaze if necessary.
    5. Add stock, roux, chicken, 1/4 of the sausage, thyme, bay leaves. Bring to boil and lower to a simmer. Simmer as long as you want, I like to go at least an hour.
    6. 20 minutes before serving, add okra, the rest of the sausage. Add cayenne, Tabasco, Worcestershire, and any additional salt to taste.
    7. Serve over rice with green onions as garnish. Add filé powder to thicken as preferred.

    This really hit the spot, thanks guys

    Watched Margin Call on Prime last night. I was riveted within the first 10 minutes. Apparently they shot the movie in 17 days.

    Simon Baker and Jeremy Irons were both great.

    I wish I could watch Margin Call for the first time again. Instead I just rewatch it at least once a year

  3. Couple new-ish restaurants I’ve been that I’d recommend:

    1. Borgo - fantastic Mediterranean/Italian, with wood fire in the middle of the restaurant. Wine list is a bit too focused on natural for my liking, but there are a few traditional gems. This spot is being added to our regular rotation.

    2. Smithereens - upscale New England in a cool subterranean space in the east village. Helps that my friend is the co owner and runs the beverage side of the house (former som at Ko).

    3. Zimi’s - nice provencal food

    4. La Tete d’Or - great client/expense account spot. Boulud does steakhouse. 

    5. Cafe Commerce - this is a revival of a place I used to frequent in my 20s when it was actually on Commerce. I would say good, not great, but glad it’s back

    The thing about this is not so much that they traded Luka it is what they got for him in return.  absolute malpractice regardless of his conditioning and shape at age 25. what they got for him is what you get when he is 35 not 25.

    This is the absolute truth. To be clear, I don’t agree with trading a 25 year old generational talent, but if you convince yourself it’s the right move, you better get the mother load of trade packages instead of a shit sandwich.

    I know what you are referring to and I can tell you that the Texas fans will have a different experience.  There were big changes around the stadium after that game.  There will still be idiots though.

    Did the big changes involve a mass execution of the Ohio State fan base? Because if not, the changes will not have solved the fundamental issue.

    Any guidance or “do not do that” for taking public transport from LGA? I’m assuming it takes longer than Uber/car service obviously but always appreciate the insights here. I saw the rec to stop at White Bear to crush some Szechuan wontons, but probably can’t do that this trip with an 11 yr old who thinks ketchup is exotic.

    Depends on your terminal, where you are staying in Manhattan, and the time of day. The below link gives a pretty good overview. With luggage and an 11 year old, I would bite the bullet on an uber, especially if it’s around rush hour.

    Edit: for hotels, check out Incentra Village in the west village. My parents used to stay there when visiting us. Great location for a non-first timer

  7. I thought the first half was remarkable. For me, the second half just didn’t work on a number of levels, but I love the swing and hope everyone goes to see it in the theater. 

    The score is really top notch.

    I saw somewhere it was a Jacob & Co Caviar Tourbillon. EST cost $740k. Looked like shit, IMO.

    Edit: I don't know how to use Immamac's new fancy twitter embed

    Obviously this guy has some irons in this fire, but the bit at the end about Lindsey is interesting. [Adding here since twitter is borked: "The only other thing I'll add to this is Dennis Lindsey was with the Mavs last year and is a great basketball mind. He left to work for the Pistons this season. Do with that what you will."]

    On a personal note, I've carried my Mavs fandom with me after leaving Texas over a decade ago. I've seen them just about every time they've played at MSG in recent years, and planned to go to the game in March. This trade is an absolute gut punch to caring about this franchise going forward. I'll probably just let my kid pick up a Knicks jersey instead of trying to brain wash him like I do all things Longhorns and Rangers. Monumentally stupid and unforgivable.

    Did he have a shovel or any tool in his hands?

    Y'all need to learn critical thinking but instead you went to school and learned to be a goddamned fish which means you do what you're told

    Oh shit, I figured it out. It was a solar flare!

    Proof or heresay, NFL teams are not getting out of an NFL contract for cause over this type of thing. Deshaun Watson, accused of far worse, and is still under contract.

    It makes no sense for this low of a contract. Especially for only 1 mediocre season, and especially when there's just heresay and no proof. This isn't enough to get out of the 7.7 mil dead cap hit anyway. The Ravens did not intentionally leak this for cap reasons. They need way more evidence to terminate the contract for cause.

    Anyone still worried about our DC?

    I think I have a post in 2022, or maybe in 2023 after OU drove down the field to win the game, in which I said something along the lines of "It's time to accept that as long as PK is our defensive coordinator, we will never have an elite defense. Period."
