I used to catch a lot of bream when I was a kid. The best part of frying them up was the fins!

One of my favorite things now sadly diminished.

My state, makes me sad, what an asshole. Somewhat inured to it all by now though as every other day he says or does something I hate.

I watched the majority of the TDF this year, as I have for the past several years and it was anything but boring. I don’t know enough about the issue of power meters but I certainly wasn’t watching someone manage an Excel spreadsheet. Even allowing you some poetic license, I think it’s overreaching to call the TDF…

One of my favorite shows as a kid. BTW, Lynda Carter does the voice and singing for Magnolia in Fallout 4.

My little corner market sells these. Or perhaps they don’t sell them, the cans just sit on the shelf. Never been curious enough to sample them.

Yeah, totally not impressive. Happens all the time. What are we, frickin’ dummies. Psssh. Asshat.

Celtic Woman...so terrible and funny!

Thanks for showing love to my home state; which hasn’t gotten a lot lately, rightfully so, due to our idiotic governor/legislature. The parkway is gorgeous; from family outings when I was a kid to fishing trips as an adult, it has always been a joy.

I love this show. Weird, great acting, terrific soundtrack, a really neat visual aesthetic. I don’t get the “glacial pacing” comment. For an AMC show, Preacher is balls to the wall, and even the quieter moments are worthwhile.

Sweet; that’ll do it!

Yeah, the padding helped stop me from getting hip pointers when I dove; I am not the most graceful of people, so any added protection is nice. I once dove and didn’t extend my lower arm, leading to a horrible rib bruise from my elbow.

I always wore some old-school padded shorts that had been gifted to me from my goalkeeping mentor. I used them in adult co-ed rec league and in the base/NATO league men’s team. Everyone else wore snazzy spandex.

Yep; still a shithead.

Yes, I guess you’re right, and ummmm, Chicken Tetrazzini, or to use the mess hall term: Exploded Chicken.

Could you put it in a baking dish after it’s all mixed together and top it with parm/romano and bread crumbs and then bake it for a while? Would this ruin it? I make a great mac and cheese, so this seems like a viable way to do it. I don’t want to mess up the essential Utica-ness of it though by doing too much.

Somewhat related but not, really; she’s a great writer. Accordion Crimes (dumb title, I know) is a great, great, book.

Fucking tools.

Great article. UC is definitely the most well-written of the series, with it’s bittersweet, almost elegaic tone. It’s not my favorite (that would be UC2) but it’s pretty amazing!

Yelp recently was instrumental in getting a burger place in my town named to a list of best burger joints in the state. It’s not even the best burger joint in my town; in fact, it’s probably third-best (my opinion of course, which, I know, is all that Yelp is). I view Yelp ratings, good or bad, with extreme…
