Happy Hat posted:Stupid question (on english words): When someone is deliberately overestimating his need in a budget, to play a budgetting game - does that have a word in english (and not overestimating).. Generally referred to as "budgetary slack", as in "Manager X is trying to build himself some budgetary slack by over-estimating his costs in the fourth quarter".

Thanks! I will now accuse random people of padding their budgets (something also done to bras apparantly) Seriously - thank you! Edit: The people in question are not really random..

Padding is also for male underwear models, HH. Let's not be sexist here.GrAviTy84 posted:Prepare a saucer of hoisin and sriracha mixture. I know some people like to add the hoisin and sriracha straight to the soup. I don't, I like the flavor of the broth by itself and I use the sauces for dipping the meats into. Other than that you eat pho about like I do. Especially this part: quote:Slurping is important. It is important for pretty much all asian noodle soups.

Our apartment smells like the delicious chicken stock that is simmering away but the a/c is broken for probably the whole weekend and it's too loving hot for this mess.

At the county fair, eating fair food, drinking cheap beer. The girlfriend won a few ribbons in the canning competition, the livestock show is well attended, and it's almost time for the kids to do the mutton busting and the pig scramble. Enjoying the country life.

I was under the impression that it's only unsafe if there is a useful amount of water trapped inside. The spores can't do anything without any water.

Did anyone else catch "Time Machine Chefs" on ABC last night? Chefs are put in a 'time machine' and sent back to history where they have to cook using authentic ingredients, materials and resources. At one point, they were using dogs running on big hamster wheels to turn spits in front of an open hearth. There was very little focus on cooking unfortunately, but it was mildly entertaining.

Heading off to Montreal for a little mini-vacation. Anyone have suggestions for things to do or joints to hit? So far, I've got Schwartz's and La Banquise on the list, and Pied De Cochon if we stumble into a stack of free money en route.

La Banquise is only great at 3 am in the morning and you'll always have to wait. Poutineville does pretty great poutine and it's reasonably close to the plateau. Burger de Ville is a good spot for dinner before going out. Jean Talon market is cool to see and Parc du Mont-Royal is pretty amazing when the weather is good (check out the Tam Tams on Sunday if you get a chance). Where are you going to be staying?

The breweries Dieu de Ciel and Unibroue are both in or near Montreal (Unibroue is in Chambly, I forget exactly where DdC is) and make delicious beers.

Oh yeah- Unibroue has a pretty awesome restaurant, too. It's traditional acadian foood (updated a bit) and they use their beers in many of the dishes. They also have all their beers on tap, many of which taste very different than the bottled version.

To be honest, I've never been that big on poutine, but every time I mention that to someone, they always say "You've just never had good poutine", which gets annoying. Ideally, I want to find the One True Poutine, just to see if I maintain ambivalence.

The poutines I've had were all okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way for them. Haven Gastropub in Orange has a duck poutine I keep meaning to try, but with Bruxie (a waffle sandwich food stand) an equal distance from Bruery Provisions it's hard to justify interrupting my drinking to sit down in a restaurant.
