I didn't know drunken naked escapades made someone a "big deal" at the DZ.

I agree with that. Why shell out over $100.00 for a ticket when you can have the same experience listening to a $10.00 cd? I just disagree with the "in it for the money" characterization for the OP. There are too many performers out there that suck live, either because they just aren't that good to begin with or because they don't give a crap. Those are the ones who are "in it for the money"! BTW- I heard the Beatles weren't very good live at all- partly because they didn't have to be. No one could hear them over all the screaming girls!
-
Yeah, its funny but enough is enough already. The guy is being ripped on for stepping on the wrong toes, not for the advice he gave.
-
Well, I think "too tight" and "not in it for the music" contradict each other. I'm all for spontaneity but I respect a group that sounds as good live as they do in the studio- they are few and far between IMO.
-
Yes, plus how often do we tell novice skydivers to not reach? To "reach up" sounds even crazier to them. There are so many things that we try to drill into the heads of students, and then later contradict them, no wonder it is difficult to learn to skydive. I agree with you. A pretty common problem for a novice skydiver is getting a little over amped and reaching for grips and either trashing the formation or ending up too low or too high. I know I've done it and I've seen plenty of "experienced" skydivers who should know better doing the exact same thing. Don was trying to help and aside from the fact that he contradicted a world champion, his advice wasn't that bad. You guys are harsh!

They might not be my favorite group, but I still like them. If they didn't care about the music, they would not practice and rehearse as much as they do. They are actually very disciplined musicians; they put on a tight show which is why they can still tour and charge a small fortune for tickets. Their harmonies are amazing for a group of "old guys". I don't think its fair to say they don't care about the music. Rock stars making money- what a concept!

Ahhhh, the picture explains everything. Maybe not quite a Calico but close enough! Super cute and nothing but trouble! I've had two different vets tell me that calicos and torties have very "unique" personalities, and that's definitely the case with mine! Oh, and I wouldnt worry about your floor being "marked". First, it is tile and should be easy to clean. And second, normally it is pee that won't go away. If a cat pees on a rug just once, no matter how well you clean it, it is pretty much a target from then on for any cat.

I use water, kosher salt and brown sugar in mine. Plus garlic and any fresh herbs I have on hand. Its really simple.
-
Yes, ideally you can brine it overnight or a little longer. I normally just do a breast and use a Tyler Florence recipe from the Food Channel. My holidays wouldn't be half as tasty without Tyler Florence! lol! You should be able to buy veggie stock in your grocery store, in the same section as the chicken and beef stock.
-
I'll eat the olives sober if I'm hungry and I don't want to cook. The rest is just plain nasty and I don't want to see you until the farts are out of your system!

And the only way to give them the same legal standing is to allow them to get married like any other couple. If their church chooses not to recognize it, that is between them and their church.
-
Marriage is a legal union, the only legal union that currently universally recognized, with all the rights, priveleges and obligations that go along with it. You, and others who oppose giving gays the right to marry are the ones who are trying to redefine marriage. It has never been a strictly religious institution and it never will be.

Maybe they want the penis without the Dick attached??

I drain the drippings, then separate the fat from the liquid. I then bring the liquid to a boil in a sauce pan. Then, for each cup of juice, mix 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch in a small amount of cold water. Mix until all the starch is suspended. Stirring rapidly with a whisk, add the corn starch mixture into the boiling drippings. Don't add any salt. That's all I do and everyone seems pretty happy with the gravy. The actual crunchies at the bottom of the pan? Heck, Valinda and I sneak those while we're fixing the gravy. Are all these cooking tips going to hurt my guy card? Guys who cook are SEXY! Your "man card" is safe! With just cooking a breast, I don't normally have enough "juice" to worry about separating the fat- half of which is the butter I basted with anyway! I don't add salt but next time I will make sure I rinse the bird, use unsalted butter and low salt stock! Thanks!
-
Yeah, and those women and blacks were a bunch of whiners too! The irony is that I truly believe Prop 8 will force the issue to a national level MUCH faster ...........
-
I don't think I rinsed the bird this last time, so that moght have been part of the problem. I also deglaze with wine and use flour and chicken stock, but so far I have resisted the temptation to add heavy cream. I think I might just try that next time. It came out OK last time, just a litttle saltier than I would like.
-
Do you make pan gravy with the drippings? My only issue with brining is that my gravy always seems to come out really salty. (The turkey is perfect........) And since I only do it once or twice a year, I don't get enough practice in order to get it right!
-
Hardwood floors are your friend.

Cost Plus World Market. I picked up a bunch of them for $1.00 each last year. (I have at least one party around Christmas.) They look just fine- same as the more expensive ones I was replacing- and I don't get upset if one is accidently broken.
-
I normally just do a turkey breast and use a Tyler Florence recipe from a few years ago as a basic guideline then add whatever I feel like adding- garlic, fresh herbs, etc ................ The nice thing about just doing the breast is that it fits into a large stock pot that I will fit in the fridge overnight if it isn't cold enough outside. I enjoy cooking also, but if I am doing the cooking, I decide what time to serve dinner!
-
Well, I no longer have a trainer -he went to school and I can't afford him anyway. Plus September was a really stressful month at work with lots of OT and just wasn't up to my regular workout schedule- working til 7 or 8 pm, THEN working out? Just wasn't happening! My work schedule is much better now, but I've been having a hard time getting that routine back. I'm working on it though! As for you....... Don't push yourself too hard or you will end up back in bed!
-
We tend to do it a little early- maybe some time between 3 and 5. I think 2 is pushing it. Now that I am cooking most of the big meals, I can honestly say I don't want to get up at dawn in order to serve dinner any earlier than 3 or 4 pm. I just cooked an early Thanksgiving dinner last weekend- cooked all day and still didn't serve dinner until after 6:00. (I actually started the night before with the brine..........) I think about how my mom used to do that every year for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter and none of us helped her much at all. Kind of makes me a little ashamed of myself! An appalling amount of work goes into those big "holiday" meals!
-
No one is keeping up with the weekly fitness threads! I think I gained 5 pounds and its all your fault! (Nothing to do with eating too much and not getting enough exercise- its so much easier to blame you!) Welcome back!
-
I used to have a cat who would do that when the litter box was not clean enough for him. Sometimes he would do it right in front of us! Or maybe he is mad that you kicked him out of his bed. My cats sleep on the bed with us, but they aren't allowed on the bed when we're "busy".

I like Quiznos. I haven't had a Schlotskys near me for YEARS, but I do remember that I loved them. PotBelly is my favorite right now- a Wreck with mushrooms and bacon- YUM!
