White wine, shallots, vinegar, and whatever vegetation (i.e. tarragon) are simmered until reduced by, say, half. Then blend in the yolks. Then slowly add the melted butter until it…

Musicians I wish had lived another 20 years, in order to see how they developed: Buddy Holly, Patsy Cline, Duane Allman. Honorable Mention:

This is the first instance of a team declining an NIT invitation in February.

I googled "Kitten Bowl" just now, and this article was the very first result under "News". You, sir, are the man.

My longest long run was a mere 15K at the 2006 Boilermaker, and I finished it off by vomiting on Wilson Kirpotich's shoes. Dunno why this article triggered the memory, but it did...
