IT'S CALLED A BCS CHAMPIONSHIP AND LEE ISN'T EVEN ON THE TEAM YOU DUMBASS
Yeah, it really sucks when LSU football gets national attention. Les is an idiot.

re: Shun vs. Wüsthof

I have a Shun, Wusthoff, Henckel, and a Global.

I rarely use them.




95% of the time I use my $25 Victorinox 8 inch. The other 5% of the time I use the other ones out just out of guilt.


Personally I find that the Victorinox is just sharper. It loses its edge rather quickly, but a quick passes on the honing steel (or a little hand held sharpener) get that thing right back up to speed.


I think the Japanese knives (Shun and Global) were probably sharper at first, but their shape is different and you have to know what you're doing to sharpen them (i.e. they won't work on my little handheld sharpener).


That said, of all my knives I actually paid money for, I probably use the Wusthoff the most. I feel like the Japanese knives, while sharper, are too fragile. I can really hack into stuff with the German knife. I feel bad deboning a chicken or something with a fine Japanese knife. The German knives, by contrast, can take the punishment better (but admittedly don't get quite as sharp).

I want her to make the team and les makes the mistake to actually put her in the game on a kickoff. Then she can see why it's male only when she gets hit by a 6'2 230 lb beast running a sub 4.6 looking for an easy highlight reel.


Mo would frick him up :geauxtigers:
A girl kicking the winning FG against Bama would go a long ways toward making me forget about 1/9.


That would be epic. Go Mo :geauxtigers:

Milk: Skim, 1%, 2%, or Whole?
I don't drink milk very often, but when I do I settle for nothing less than creamline milk, and not just because it tastes infinitely better. It's the closest thing to real milk that you can buy - the only thing separating it from raw milk is pasteurization, and in the best cases not the excessive persuasions of the process that destroy nutrients unnecessarily.

Skim milk and related low-fat options (and even most supermarket whole milk, unfortunately) are an extremely processed food and there is nothing healthy about them. Homogenization and the methods of fat-removal (because second-guessing Mother Nature and changing the chemical make-up of an organic food is a great idea) negatively impact the way our bodies absorb the milk. The stuff that exists in milk naturally is there for a reason - I believe a person is much better off not drinking milk at all than they are ingesting some manufactured garbage designed to play to an indoctrinated (and discredited) fear of saturated fat.
:bow:
Whole milk. It's much healthier.
Regardless of whether it hurts us or the SEC, this is a good thing. We need to be making sure these kids are getting educated. I know not everyone is above average (or even average), but there are certain minimum standards that all these kids could meet but currently aren't.

re: Hot Pocket Advice

Posted by CrocsWithSocks on 8/5/12 at 6:07 pm to
Bite a little off of one corner and then bite a little off of the other corner on the opposite side (i.e. if your hot pocket was a car we'd open the driver's side window and the back right passenger window).


Next, wrap your lips around the hot, flaky hole and gently blow cool air through the hot pocket. Steam will come out of the other side, but you are bringing the internal temp down to moderate. Do not suck, or piping hot liquid will spurt back down your throat.

It only takes a minute or two to successfully blow to completion. After this, your food will be ready to eat.


Bon appetit.

Score the fat with a sharp knife ( cut criss crossing slits along the entire length)


Rub with salt and pepper


Put in a hot arse oven for about 45 minutes then crank the heat down to 300 or so for another hour, maybe longer.


Goes great over root scallopped potatoes. Pork fat:drool:
Blowtorch the outside 275 degree oven for 10 minutes you're welcome

Anyone else hear on 790 Wade Phillips considering using him to replace Mario Williams?

re: Smoking Baby Back Ribs

Posted by CrocsWithSocks on 7/31/12 at 9:29 am to
I use an Old Smokey. I put the coals on one side and the ribs on the other and I close the vents almost all the way. I find this lets me be able to cook it low and slow for pretty much 5 hours or so without burning. By this time they are very tender.


I spray with a mixture of equal parts apple juice/mustart/apple cider vinegar every hour or so.

I don't soak either. I used to, but I just stopped and haven't noticed a difference at all except it's way more convenient now.


Just rewatched it again, and I forgot how much of a nailbiter it was for the first 3 quarters. Eventually LSU's depth won out, but what was most interesting was who really changed the moomentum of the game: TM7.

There really is no bigger difference maker on defense in college football right now and he was very well deserving of his Heisman trip. If his numbers are even close to what they were last year, he should get serious consideration. And what is most impressive about him is that his bestmoments are in the biggest games; he isn't doing this against scrubs.



Also, really not impressed with Spencer Ware. He's OK but doesn't bring a whole lot to the table. Michael Ford is clearly the best RB.


AFA is JL, while he had a good game, it is obviously if you pay attention that he was going to have to tighten up his throws before he got to the likes of Bama. So many of those completions would have been incomplete or intercepted against a Bama defense, and that's exactly what ended up happening (this is not a JL v. JJ post...just saying what I saw)



I really think this year's team will be the best LSU team we've ever had. Can't wait
