  1. Walnut is where it's at.
  2. You're not wrong. I think the incremental progress might be easier to appreciate if it had been achieved with relatively-quiet dignity instead of with the overly hyped nonsense most, if not all, of us could smell from a mile below Boulder. In the end, last place is last place; only this year, it's wearing sunglasses.
  3. So in that video, the milkman has the horns up toward the end. I know nothing of aggy turditions. What's up with that? Is he too dumb even to aggy, or is it the simple fact that from the outside, you can't understand it?
  4. I always heard of people having success with using links of bicycle chain, running the screws from the pedal's base plate through one part of the link and screwing the other part to the board (assuming a wooden board). I ended up getting a Pedal Train Nano and a Nano+ when I decided I never wanted to deal with a larger board again. I've never used the Nano+ in a live setting in the years I've had it. The Nano always has been enough.

    I used to have a few of those in a beer brewing rig, which has been moved on down the road to the next guy.
  6. Rewatching the game now. Blue should be played a lot. So fast.
  7. As a semi-old-fart, I'll say that maybe we should celebrate the end of the third quarter less and finish the game. I looked like we got a damned delay-of-game penalty because of all the orange smoke all over the place that hadn't made its way off the field by the time play commenced. Also, Wabash Cannonball > Don't Stop Believing.

    It's a contributor in a great way for sure. But have a taste of it in a spoon.
  9. Got last minute tickets to the Tech Ass Kicking. Got there late, but enjoyed being able to grab beer and slam it on my way to the gate. Section 124 was lit and the two Australian kids in Holiday that were enjoying my taunting Tech players and yelling the same thing was great and made me realize my influence on strangers. The view was solid, but the men's room situation was a bit long-lined

    Thought about that the other day. I think it would be a substitute for Soy Sauce. I did it in a Thanksgiving gravy recipe, but only about a teaspoon. That stuff smells so nasty.
  11. I scalloped my finger once while slicing sausage with my new Dexter slicer. Nothing booze, paper towels and some next day bandaging couldn't fix. I learned a valuable lesson though.
  12. Okay, I have a story for another thread (or possibly in another thread) about how my older half-brother (RIP) did this to his older brother at the dinner table for trying to take his steak off his plate after he'd already consumed his own. I'll have to see if that, in fact, is posted somewhere. But well done.

    Damn! I just added an inexpensive 12 qt stock pot, and was thinking I was King Shit of Turd mountain. But you sir, are the Dear Leader of this shit.

    Thanks. There may be something to that oven roux.

    Prepping a day ahead was a good call. I'm not hungry, but I'm about to eat. /edit. This might be my best gumbo to date. Holy shirts and pants! This is good!

    Whoever suggested using bread to skim the fat is a genius. Whoever suggested eating the bread afterward is an evil genius.
  17. Yeah, I was a bit perturbed. I thought it to be one of those things that you'd have to work pretty hard at it to mess it up. But here we are.
  18. The bird decided to stall after I put it in a foiled pan with butter. I had some great bird bark though and finished it off in the oven at 425. Best flavor I've had from a turkey.
  19. Closing this year's spite bread chapter. My niece acknowledged the spite bread and gave me kudos on how close it was. I don't think my sister tried it. All in all, it was a good get-together. Nothing remotely political was uttered. My sister managed to screw up the mashed potatoes. Apparently, she's never made mashed potatoes, although I could have sworn she brought them last year. Anyway, she peeled and boiled them last night and showed up with them cold. We had to nuke them and I almost broke the potato masher trying to get them to comply. Ultimately, we ended up with a pretty flavorless mush with the consistency of wet snow. Thankfully, my dressing was a big, bright, shining star like Dirk Diggler. If she hadn't redeemed this critical error with some killer green beans, we may have had to put her on salad duty for next year.
  20. Happy Thanksgiving, turkeys.

    Well . . . I'm working on it.
