You do not need 6 hours to make a stock. I was very impressed with a recipe from Cooks Illustrated/America’s Test Kitchen that I used to make chicken soup for Passover. They have you brown and turn chicken pieces in a dutch oven, then simmer them with onions, carrots, and celery for 45 minutes to an hour. It made a…

If there is not a cult for this movie, then we should start one.

Deep Purple, Machine Head:

Great choice. It was bugging me that I couldn’t list four, thus leaving out side A of Led Zeppelin I and Led Zeppelin IV.

The Pretenders, Learning to Crawl:

My little girl turning into Masha would certainly be a victory of the evil forces.

It is good someone remembers that. A generation passed, for good and for ill.

In principle, I agree with you. Manufacturers should have the foresight to deal with the fact that public tastes can be fickle when gas spikes or the economy tanks. Unfortunately, long lead times makes it difficult to react as quickly as they would need to, and automakers have a bad habit of crying to the government…

Is chuck usually $7 / lb where you live? I thought that hunk should have run about 15-20 bucks.

Yes. Chuck in a conventional oven at 250 degrees for 3-6 hours (depending on size) can get similar results. Plenty of salt, use a lid, and keep the door closed.

I love it! I wanna play as Langston Hughes reading one of the Jesse B Semple stories.

Absolutely. The supermarkets that don’t have a broaster (pressure fryer) make soggy, crappy ones. I feel sorry for all these people that only know the supermarket/gas station ones.

In the Akron and Canton area of Ohio, they are almost always called Jo Jos (see http://www.dasgoodpizza.com). Kraus’s Pizza makes better ones than the supermarkets because all their locations have a real broaster (pressure fryer).

There is not yet enough choice! For example, why can’t I buy a big bag of gribenes?

I shouldn’t wear clothes when I iron? I got burned trying that frying chicken.

The collared shirt was the only clue.

No. I’ve been following him for a couple of weeks and it is an accurate statement of his interpersonal style and (presumably) his race. He’s a pretty cool guy that thinks things out, but he has better manners than he lets on. You’ll like him.

Then why do they complement each other so nicely in the morning, smartie? It’s not a bit like pasta and antipasto leaving you hungry.

Talking out if one’s ass is so incredibly common that it is hardly a Lincoln-Kennedy level of coincidence.
