I’ve been hung on this for about a year now: sprinkle a fair amount of Penzey’s Chicago Seasoning on both sides, into fridge for 2 hours. Remove, and dribble with a good Worcestershire on both sides, back in fridge for another hour. I’ll even flip it when I walk by (when I remember). Then, you can either go straight…

While I’m not opposed to all these sci-fi series, and tend to think “any sci-fi is good sci-fi”, I can’t help but wonder why Greg Baer can’t get any love. His “The Way” trilogy would be slick, although perhaps not as slick as one of my favorite all time novels, “The Forge Of God”. Which, along with the sequel, “Anvil…

Way back in ‘13, on a March vaca with my now (2nd) ex-wife, we traveled to Florida, she had family that goes down and spends St Pat’s day at an Irish pub in Cocoa Beach. Anyway, one night everyone piled into cars, and headed to a restaurant that I 1) can’t remember and, 2) can’t find. But...they had Pork Wings…

Coinkydink: I recently set about the same path, trying as many diff frozen pizzas I can, and last night, no joke, first ever Home Run Inn. I will wholly admit the toppings were spot on,, right up near top of the list, but the crust at the edges was horrid. Flavorless, rock hard. I had some for lunch today at work, and…

Just trying to add to this great performance, Rolling Stone has the complete performance, and a cool interview with Alexander, who seems like a righteous dude.

Grew up in 70s/80s “Up North”, my father was a chef up there at multiple establishments over the years. This was very popular at a number of those locations, and I very much enjoyed it when I had the rare (no pun intended) chance to sample. Haven’t had in many moons, but I know a family here in the Fox Valley that…

When reached for comment, the driver of the Mercedes said, ““Do you see my ring? I’m a Hall of Famer baseball person. I’m legit. I’m a Hall of Famer, brother. You’re trying to embarrass me.” 

This past spring, I made a 3-in-1 brick grill (gas/charcoal/fire), and have “smoked” a number of meats since, twice hams. I prefer savory vs sweet ham, so first time, scored the skin and slathered with stone ground mustard before smoking (smoking for me is a bit diff, no fancy chips, just wood). It was alright, but…

I’m just going to throw this out there...Kostner’s “Open Range” is the best Western in the last 20 years or more (narrowly beating “True Grit”), and one of the best all time. I find myself watching it at least twice a year.

Absolute first thing popped into my head.

Nah, no long diatribe about how my high school friends and I saw this twice in the same weekend.

Absolutely, 100% true story: I had a friend who, last week, straight up looked me in the eye and said that racism is “just the media”. Racism is just the media. I was flat out speechless.

Sliced italian bread, toasted, sliced hungarian headcheese, melted in oven. Maybe add a slice or two of onion.

So am I right this isn’t a slicing bread? I’ve made bread before, found it too much work (lazy ass, I know). But i made 2 loaves of this last weekend, both really dense, much longer cook time, and big crumbly chunky, if that makes sense. I realize this isn’t a bitchin’ french or italian bread, but i think it could…

Rush - 2112 (obvious) and Clockwork Angels (should be obvious)

Still thought he owned A Good Year, which I enjoyed far, far more than anyone else, I guess.

My father’s side were born and spent much of their lives in Austria/Germany. Growing up I learned that there was two things at every dinner table, regardless of month or season: broth soup as a starter, and crusty bread during the meal (seriously, my grandparents eventually settled in Florida, and friggin SOUP was…

I just want to say, well done with article. It’s difficult to say “the HOF is a joke”, because in reality, obviously, there are many greats in there. But it continues to seem more and more tainted...and they haven’t even (really) started to let the “druggy bastards” in (that’s sarcasm).

I still can’t bring myself to consider them actually in the BIG 10,000. Never liked how’s/why’s they’re in the league in the first place.

What a joke. And not even a good joke, like a “ha ha” joke. First 3 “non conference games”. As has been mentioned before on this fine site...winning trumps all.
