    I made mint juleps. America's great contribution to the civilized world.

    All the time. Dice some chicken and put in a pan with some oil on med-high heat. Add generous amounts of salt, pepper, cumin, paprika. A hearty dose of chipolte powder, and a little cinnamon. When you've got a minute left add in some minced garlic. Meanwhile finely chop some cilantro and...

    Have you seen Pain & Gain because Bay pretty much spells out what he does, and I love him for it.

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    Yes that specific play, which most teams will run on average less than once a game is very shallow. If you want I will effort post on what happens in the bog standard off tackle run, which is probably the most basic play in football that actually gets run within the average downs progression.

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    I don't buy it. I played soccer through high school, and was a ref for 6 years at higher levels. I get that in the grand scheme of things this puts my soccer knowledge at fuck and all. I get that there are nuances, and I'm pretty sure I still pick most of them up. There are tactics, but they are...

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    I'm kind of the opinion that it's not the lack of scoring, but the lack of action all around. Soccer is just kind of boring. This of course sounds absurd coming from a gridiron fan, but that's another thing. People say that shit is happening all the time in soccer, but not much of it. Good teams...

    The Flash

    I thought it was marginally worse than the Shield pilot. I'll give it a chance. I thought Arrow started out pretty shaky to, but God damn did it get good.

    The Flash

    Finally watched this. I thought it was pretty terrible. Weak writing, weak acting, weak pacing. Hopefully it catches its stride because I want to like it.

    If there were people clamoring for television coverage in the US, then the networks would do what America is actually good at and monetize the everloving fuck out of it.

    Transformers 4: Baylicious

    I'm looking forward to it. I've come to believe that Bay is far more self aware and far more aggressively cynical than most people think, and his movies when viewed from this perspective take on unrelenting subversive tone that I really like.

    That was a gut punch, but I thought the US looked more or less like an actual soccer team which was pretty nice.

    But there's a lot of it! Most the mass of your body and everything around you comes from energy.

    Massless particles are their own separate can of worms. Energy certainly has mass and accounts, ultimately, for the vast majority of mass in everything around us.

    Energy has mass. There's some equation for it.

    Pretty far. NFL players don't make that much on average. It's not just the salary cap, which is certainly a thing, but there's also 53 guys on a team and only 16 games a year.

    Wildlings are a lot less keen to throw their life away. They aren't well regulated troops. An all out blitz risks shattering the army. Mance just killed half the nights watch while losing a handful troops. It makes enough narrative sense to not sperg out about it.

    Also to me the change from books 1-3 to 4 - 5 is some sense of character optimism. Plot wise shit is getting much worse, but the the cynical machinations of the old guard begin to fade to the optimistic ambitions of the next generation.

    Also we read a billion pages of breaking fast and loved it. I don't see how the show watchers are different. They're hooked man, plus the end of the season brings new hope. And Tywin's replacement is awesome. Edit: Lenas knows what's up.

    I get that, but to me that there are billion delicious ways to cook chicken even if you just stick to healthy prep. Baked, breaded chicken has never been one of those things for me. Even just marinated chicken baked usually taste better. If you want crispy texture there's plenty of options for...

    Well if you're not frying than yeah panko is the way to go most of the time. It's never going to give you that Americana taste though. Edit: I missed the past where you said you bake it. I don't get why anyone bakes breaded chicken. It's never been better than passable for me.

    I recommend cutting the breading entirely. Well seasoned flour - beaten eggs - well seasoned flour. I've used lots of different things to bread in the past, but to me nothing tastes better than the double flour coating. You definitely want very thorough flour coverage either way though. If...

    Technically it's not caramelization but the Maillard reaction, which are completely different but taste pretty much the same.

    Caramelize? Because burnt sugar is somehow the best tasting thing in the world.

    Aeron drowns motherfuckers because it's his literal job. Then he drinks some seawater and calls a kingsmoot like a boss. His chapters are the best insight to the ironborn we get, but no they aren't exciting. Just really good world building.
