    Holy shit on a stick, that's pretty egregious. I'd second the notion of taking the cell phones away. Oh, you're driving? Cell phone stays home. The people she's with will have cell phones for emergencies. This sucks, man. It'll hurt your insurance for sure, but this might be a learning...

    Okay, in the last few months I've had Five Guys a few times. Every time I eat there I feel like shit the following day. Their burgers are so bloody greasy, I can't take it. I guess I'm weak. I'm done with five guys.

    I believe I'm going to acquire a large amount of rabbit brains now and use them on each of my children's every wounds. You skinned your knee? Here, let me rub rabbit brains on it.

    Bought my kid a violin - where to get it tuned/upgraded?

    Hard to say. It looks like a solid instrument, but you won't know until you play it. I'm all for buying nearly everything online, but violins are really so much about how that particular instrument sounds. You can give it a whirl and see how it plays. I'd encourage you to find a dealer so your...

    One of my kids had wicked bad teething issues. Their eyes would swell up to the point of nearly swollen shut. It would last about a day for each tooth, but she was miserable every time it happened. Oragel made it feel better in her mouth, but she rubbed her eyes until they hurt. Teething sucks.

    The question is: can they keep the momentum going back to hostile territory? I would like Nashville to win - I don't care much about either team, but I always route for the underdog, plus they've never won a cup, plus I don't want Crosby to get another cup.

    Today I am smoking a huge slab of salmon. To be served with an enormous fruit salad, some grilled asparagus (they're in season), and saffron rice pilaf. Finish with home made blueberry ice cream. It's good to have family in town, it gives me a reason to cook like crazy.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    Wow, this seems provable, and what the hell should be the response? No chance to compete in division 1 for 6 years to ensure not a single one of those motherfuckers can be still playing. Totally dismantle the program, kill all the staff, let them start over, watch them like a hawk.

    Repeated a recipe tonight, and it's great. I can't remember if I posted it here. It's super simple, and it's a great summer meal. Grill some chicken - just brush on olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper. Then, grill either peaches or slabs of pineapple. Give them a nice sear. Put a bed of...

    I'm sorry, I didn't take pictures, and there is not a scrap of brisket left. You'll have to settle for my regular meat. So, this preparation was different than I usually do, and I think I like what I usually do better. Packing the salt/brownsugar/etc. mixture around the meat and then baking it...

    My brisket is prepared. Did it a little differently - 48 hours in the sous vide at 154, then coated it with a brown sugar/salt/mustard coating and put it in the oven at 250 for 4 hours. Nice, hard crust now. I may post pictures when I cut it open if I can control myself.

    Why not try espresso? About as much caffeine as a cup of coffee with 1/4 the liquid, so even if you don't like the taste, easy to choke down. If you're insistent on trying coffee options, that seems like a good start. Another thing to try to see if you like the flavour is to stir some hot...

    Oh, well, if that's the case, I'd likely do it for them, too, and leave a note/card that says something like "I had free time and took care of some of the worst spots on your deck so you and the kids can enjoy it this summer." I misunderstood, and thought they were going to redo the deck soon.
