On the one hand, yeah, that is a pretty dumb mistake. On the other hand, that is exactly the kind of mistake that would not surprise me in a game, no matter how much of an “A” title it may be. All of the playtesters would have been watching the field of play, not the sky, and only paying attention to things outside…

Looks like Tecmo has seen how the Vikings play on Monday nights before. . .

I have tried working with a very high volume dealer in the Twin Cities area, Autonation in White Bear Lake, and they have told me that they cannot get one for me, period. And I am a repeat customer too, because that is where I bought my ST. They already have a waiting list for next year (which I am on, but I have no…

Homeopathy may be utter tommyrot, but if anything could prove it to be true, that would be Dijon mustard. One microscopic fragment of it is sufficient to affect the flavor of an entire dish. If you put mustard in then somehow removed it later, the dish would retain a memory of the mustard and pass it on to the eater.

Immersion blender is the only way to go. Perfect results every time. That is the Kenji method.

Actually, we did have one section left over, and it reheated beautifully today. I little less crispy on the outside, perhaps, but the meat stayed juicy.

I only managed to get one quick shot after they came out of the oven before we devoured them, so it is not exactly artfully composed, but here they are. When describing how they tasted, the only phrase that I can think of is “gobsmacking success.” I am not exactly the biggest fan of barbecue ribs (mostly because of…

I guess that Google was not my friend on that one.

Phoenix Kart Racing Association?

I cooked Kenji’s sous-vide barbeque ribs last night, and am finishing them up in the oven for dinner tonight. Dying to find out if they are as good as he says!

Yeah, Jalopnik is generally a hot hatch/station wagon haven (no pun intended,) so that comment made no sense.

I was trying to put my finger on precisely what I did not like about the styling, but when you posted the magic word “Subaru,” the fog lifted. The WRX and/or the STI could be the greatest performance car ever made, and I still could not get past the looks.

I don’t iAnything, but if I did, I would iAnnihilate any of my iFriends who used this to iPester me about iPolitics.

Indeed.

Why do I hear “Yakkity Sax” when I look at that picture?

One of the great, lost lamented restaurants in the Twin Cities area was a place called Singapore Chinese Cuisine. It was the first noteworthy Malaysian restaurant in the Cities. One of chef Kin Lee’s signature dishes was whole spicy Singapore gulf prawns. And by “whole,” I mean shells, legs & heads, all intact. It…

I have tried my own variations of analogies to get that point across, but they all fail for two reasons. First most such analogies are somewhat imperfect, and that usually provides a wedge for the recipient to dismiss the whole point.

Judging by conversations that I hear on a daily basis on the other side of the state, I suspect that the word “Wisconsin” means the same thing.

Watch where you put your hands down, too. I was sitting on the ground at a picnic once, and leaned back while using my hands to support myself on the ground, and came up with a honey bee sticking out of my palm.
