    The Meat Thread

    Enjoying a nice cut of beef is a singular experience, but a good dry sausage is work of art. Salami, Pepperoni, Spanish/ Portuguese chorizo, Longaniza, Soppressata. An authentic dry sausage is what makes me love food. I mean sausage is general is just delicious with a special shout out to...

    Basically any fond based sauce you want steel or aluminium. Since that makes up approximately a billion sauces they are pretty useful.

    I think you really need a set of cast iron, stainless steel or aluminium, and non stick. I use at least one of those every day and they all do things the others can't. Well the non stick doesn't do anything the others can't, but it makes things a hell of a lot easier. All three can be had...

    I've made a lot of his stuff and I've liked probably 85% of it, which is a lot fucking better than pretty much any other recipe book I've used. His cooking style is also really similar to mine, so he introduces to me awesome dishes and I sort of run with it without worrying that experimentation...

    Flank steaks are awesome because they are a canvas for awesome marinade flavors. Chef John at foodwishes (watch him!) has done a bunch -here'sthe most recent. For nice steaks I mix it up. Salt and pepper is of course a stand by and I do that plenty, but other flavors go really nicely with...

    Question about Kegs of Beer / Alcohol content.

    Flanders reds, Strong old ales, barley wines, lambic - not fucking fruit lambics, farmhouses/ saisons, tripels, braggots, eisbocks, doppelbocks, marzens are what I like to drink the most. I drink pretty much everything though. America makes so much good beer across all styles that it would be a...

    Question about Kegs of Beer / Alcohol content.

    You should keep trying them. If you see a rye IPA or black IPA go for it as that particular sub-sub-substyle will move the IPA from a very bitter, but middle of the road malty/fruity beer over to the malt side, which is where there starts to be some overlap with certain porters. I don't hate...

    Question about Kegs of Beer / Alcohol content.

    Fuck IPAs so goddamn hard. I don't mind IPAs and will occasionally get a hankering for one, but they are way the fuck down the totem pole on my favorite beer styles. But goddamn IPAs are fucking everywhere "we've got bud, bud light, miller lite, and coors light, and an IPA." Well thank fuck you...

    Worst Major League Sports Commissioner?

    The job of the commish is to be the public face/scapegoat for the owners while implementing plans to increase profits for said owners. They've all been demonstrably successful at this with even the NHL pulling in 60% avg franchise value increases over the last decade. Bettman has been the least...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I thought it was obvious? Hodor was actually the bastard that Ned brought back and is in fact the son of Mance Rayder and Rhaella Targaryan, who of course had switched images with Lyanna Stark under the glamor of a red priestess. Thus Daenerys is actually a Stark and Hodor is obviously the...

    No. Once you have entered combat damage step then shit is going down and you are late to the party. In the Declare attackers, Declare Blockers, and Combat Damage steps stuff happens before any player gains priority. If no player has priority then no one can do anything. In the case of Combat...

    A lot of this is because of first hard knocks. An inside look at how fucked up everything was at an organizational level got some big gears moving. I don't know how anyone could not be excited at hard knocks filming your team. From the small sample size we have it doesn't appear affect the...

    I think if you've jumped on board with the Meera - Jon twin thing then it also stands to reason that Dany will die. Aegon, Jon, and Meera all need their dragons. That would also give those three the thickest of plot armors, but I don't think anyone else is immune. In retrospect it makes sense...

    I do a lot of canoeing in Ohio - 1 - No. Generally if you pull off no one is going to bother you, but you can get a DUI. 2 - Yes, but they do not have to be worn only easily accessible, wearable, and in good repair. On a kayak this mostly means you're wearing one. 3 - Dry bag 4 - Get it...

    Well shit was going to start getting weird anyways. It doesn't make sense for the TV show to follow book 4 and book 5 on a per season basis. I'm pretty sure the whole thing is going to start getting pretty muddled as next season may include stuff from books 3,4, & 5. It makes sense from a pacing...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This is the part I'm still working on myself. I haven't gone back through the books yet, but I'm pretty sure it's mentioned that Howland Reed has been with Stark for a year, and we know Meera Reed is roughly the same age as Jon, so there is some circumstantial support that Meera is a bastard in...

    Meera and Jon are the same age. Howland was off in the war for a year, so not sure how he managed to bang his wife. Lyanna died from complications during child birth - possibly from the result of having twins. Howland and Ned were also the only ones present at Lyanna's death. And GRRM personally...

    I don't follow the thread or general ASoIaF fan forums, but is there a general belief that Meera Reed is Jon Snow's twin? Because they are. I know there is the Targaryan theory, which I think is bang on, but I hadn't seen that come up much.

    We tend to have a pretty good idea about where QBs will settle in the pecking order after year 3, so I think we'll be able to say some stuff about Dalton and Newton later this year. There's a lot of questions to be answered over the next couple years about everyone else.

    I don't see how JDS wins by decision. Hunt doesn't lose decisions ever, and how does it get to that point? JDS can't walk around the outside of the ring and play the technical boxing game for 15 minutes, he will get knocked the fuck out. If JDS wins this fight it's in the 1st or 2nd after...

    It's much, much better. Like I said earlier in the US shows he plays a parody of himself. That in combination with the standard American reality show's penchant for silly dramatization makes the UK version far superior. I believe the Uk version is still streaming on netflix, and there aren't...

    I use both equally. I am not a slave to continuity. edit: After thinking about it I propose a new system that assigns gender to gifs: The soft jiff - feminine gifs - kittens playing, kids, and trannies, sappy shit The hard giff - masculine gifs - explosions, bodily mutilation, dumb shit

    Texas can just obliterate the market when it comes to picking a head coach. They could double Saban's salary without flinching. If I was Texas I would have outlandish expectations with an even more outlandish checkbook waiting. I haven't given any actual consideration to how well he'd do in...

    In the UK version I found the episodes differ enough. Ramsay does find that he likes something on the menu in a good chunk of them or even everything in a few cases. It's a little formulaic in that there's only one reason a restaurant fails - they got no customers. Reasons why they got no...
