My dad had one. He also had a Jensen CV-8 and Jaguar Mark IX. I learned the stick shift on the roadster and have kept the ingrained belief to never, ever fully rely on just brakes. It was a sweet ride. Of course my dad has bailed on all those to go for Expeditions because as he is getting older, thinking big iron will…

Here is the RTINGs report on the TV. In many ways it equals the Samsung KS sets (oh and in many ways does much more poorly...). They do mention it is one of the crappiest in terms of speakers but seriously folks, does anyone really expect great sound from a device that touts being thinner than 3"? If you are going to…

Boy that Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry sure is edgy.

I dunno, it sounds more like a product sell than supporting a cause.

Cakefisted. And somehow that comes out worse than ham.

Tulips? Bulbs? Aren’t those naughty words anyway?

Hey man, Rome wasn’t built in day. It was built between commercial breaks and a rockin’ out montage.

You are right! Any dry heat reduces moisture content, so I misspoke. I meant to say that destroying tissue allows for more moisture content loss. Pounding doesn’t destroy the muscle as much as carving it.

So...basically, King’s Landing and the Wall and Dragonstone look like they are far away on the map but in reality are like driving from Raleigh to Durham to Chapel Hill - but without the traffic.

Dammit. You’re correct. I hate it so much it’s hard for me to say “right” even.

Butterflying the meat runs the risk of drying out the meat before it is cooked. Also, you loose the inherent muscle structure that allows searing to keep in the moisture. Pounding, you keep the inherent internal tissue intact and there is a better overall thickness to the meat. You are really trying to make it more…

Well, you could say that they are removing the oppressors of their ancestors, too.

So at what points do a monument go from “we’re #1" to “well, we were great, right?” to “hey don’t get pissed because we were something a long time ago” to “hey look I’m kitschy, right?” to finally a Percy Bysshe Shelley poem?

The monument where the words are inscribed are still there. Mayor Bell and the city council should stand right there and say, “we the people, have decided to remove this marker. It’s going to the NC General Assembly where they can keep it and their racist policies. We have no room for this in Durham.”

Also, I am still…

Actually you can set up some syrups or dilute your best jelly or jam to make a Peggy Olsen-friendly cocktail.

On the trashy side of cocktails, I found that mixing Pims with Gatorade’s Lime & Cucumber (and ice, lots of ice) to be a refreshing vehicle for alcohol into my system. What? Why are looking at me that way?…

One thing to note, and I said it elsewhere, it looked like a mob taking actions into their own hands. It was not a community coming together to remove it.

I am in Durham and I think it was wrong. Not because the statue came down; it should, but with the knowledge and acceptance from Durham residents.

Here in the South, you have to wait for restaurants to close before you get great deals on kitchen equipment. (Hobart 20 qt mixer for $200, oh hell yeah!)

Had that for my twins. We got it as a gift (better damn expensive) and when we gave it away a charity auction, that was almost the show stopper. Tickets to Great Wolf Lodge was #1.

What was the best grilled thing you consumed this summer? Thick steaks on the hot side, whole Vidalia onions on the cooler side.
