    Wow, that's a huge loss. Can't say I'm upset about it though. He really is their best player. At least on defense. Sean Knee isn't nearly as catchy as RGKnee.

    Sort of related, but I convinced the wife to do the hike to Lone Pine Lake today. It's the first 2.5 miles or so on the way to Mount Whitney (before you need a permit). I didn't anticipate it'd be too bad, but holy shit it was rough. It's all uphill (obviously), but the altitude really did a...

    That's something I really need to do. I almost did, because Home Depot had a bunch for I think $10 for 5 plants. I'd love to have fresh rosemary and basil all the time.

    Turned out pretty well. My only complaint would be that apparently cherry doesn't impart much of a smoke flavor. I noticed I was adding a shit ton more wood than normal too (burns off fast?). Next time I will probably do an hour of hickory or something in addition to the cherry. Or maybe 30-45...

    Sugar to offset tart flavors. Except I've never seen anything in any rubs that I'd describe as tart. But brown sugar shouldn't really burn at smoking temperatures. To be honest, I just used it cause every other fucking rub does.

    Fuck, that's a shame. I've been wanting one too, and at that price I would've jumped on it. Doing a pork shoulder today. Will have pictures when it's done. I threw together my own rub cause I was too lazy for a recipe, but it was: Brown Sugar Granulated Sugar Pepper Onion Powder Garlic...

    So I know this is supposed to be a "limited series" but does that mean this is just a once off season? I've really been enjoying it so far, and it'll be a shame if there isn't more. But at the same time I don't know how they could write something this high level and still maintain a similar tone...

    Or we could just quit pretending that it's genetically possible to be 250 pounds at 10 percent body fat and able to run a 4.4 40. Seriously, I'd bemoresurprised if you told me everyone in the NFL wasn't on something than I would if you said they all were.

    Seems...strange. You don't draft a QB in the first to be 3rd string. 2nd string, sure, if you're the type who feels like a QB needs to sit for a few years (Rodgers). But then, that's generally if you have a competent QB as your starter, and I don't know that the Browns meet that criteria. I...

    The moment Spencer lost that last immunity was where I finally wanted him to win. I really like his style, and his speech at tribal really cemented it. But that Ponderosa video makes me really relate to him. Not only is he a huge fan of the show, but he takes off all his clothes so that his...

    So last night I made ravioli from scratch. Without a pasta machine. Never again. All told it was about a 2 hour process, with rolling the dough being the majority of that. They were good, just not worth the effort. Filling was ricotta, parmesan, basil, salt, pepper, and an egg. Did a...

    I'm pretty happy with UmiYama. As long as I can get a good friend pairing I've been able to pretty much rock the dungeons. Even when I don't have good damage, I have pretty awesome survivability. I just can't wait until I get some good subs to pair up with it. Kind of sucks when I'm just...

    I've never used pepper on my steaks either. I take em out about 30 min before grilling and give them a heavy dusting of garlic salt on both sides (Lawry's). That's all the seasoning they get.

    That makes sense...but that was essentially my original question, and why I posted a list of like 20 different starters.
