I hope you were able to smell the sarcasm on that one, I'm not much of a sports fan. The worst part of living in Boston is having to pretend that you like the Red Sox.

I HATE baseball. I watch a little hockey, and the occasional NFL game, but that's it.

Oh I gotcha. I just wanted to be a pretentious New Yorker.

I know that feeling. Living in Minneapolis means having to pretend to care at all about the Twins.

Can someone explain the draw of football and/or baseball to me? Because every time I've watched a game, it's been "watch a bunch of guys stand around for 5 minutes, see ten seconds of something I guess you could call 'action', repeat for 3-4 hours". At least with hockey there's always something happening when the clock is moving, and said clock doesn't stop very often.

Baseball's only interesting to watch if you're at the stadium, and even then only if you're drinking or eating copious amounts of food and beer. Football is great if you have an understanding of what's actually going on with the plays.

Baseball is a game of concentration, patience and reaction. There is some strategy involved for fielders, but most of of that happens between the pitcher/catcher in relation to the batter. Watching baseball is more of a social event unless you really enjoy the game. Watching baseball is much much better when you are with a group of friends either at the game enjoying the weather and the sights or at a bar/home with drinks and other activity.

Football is a game of precision, reaction and anticipation with a strong helping of violence. It has actually gotten much better about keeping the game moving, so that there is generally less standing around and more action. There are much more variables and moving parts in football and it can lead to some really interesting things happening on the field. However, it does help when you have an understand of how the various plays are supposed to develop because then you can see when/where things break down.

Made some salsa. Charred the gently caress out of 8 tomatoes, 2 seeded habanero, 1 white onion, and 6 whole garlic cloves. Blend. Done. Best salsa.

If anyone would like a free copy of a comedy e-book about fine dining (.mobi format - Kindle/PC/Apple) written by myself and some friends, just send me an e-mail to acxyzyq - gmail. It's on Amazon too, in case you like it and you'd like to buy or review, and you can take a look at a preview by following this link:

Oswald Newton's Fine Dining Dispatches

“From intravenous desserts to Salmon Brandy, join legendary food critic Oswald Newton as he visits the most fashionable restaurants in the world, on a year-long journey of discovery - both culinary and personal.
A humorous novellettina of 22,000 words, "Oswald Newton’s Fine Dining Dispatches" charts a year in the life of the world's best restaurant critic, with its ups and downs, its Frittata di rucola e due formaggi, and its Cod Borscht with Carrot Chips and Mushy Pistachio.”

I personally don't much like the first chapter, but stick with it... and it's free!

Aww, I think it's cute. It would be a cute birthday cake for someone who got skinny and healthy and wanted to celebrate it. Serve with ice cream though.

It's way better than the poo poo my cousin keeps sharing on Facebook. See:

quote:

Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter, slightly softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ½ cups rolled oats, old fashioned or quick (see Note)
2/3 cup plain M&Ms (give or take)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions

With a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter until smooth.
Add in the powdered sugar, brown sugar, flour, and vanilla.
Using the paddle attachment on your stand mixer or just a wooden spoon, mix in the oats. You may want to use more or less here. I really like the oats in it and a thicker dip so I added a lot. Remember that the dip will also firm up a bit in the fridge.
Add the M&Ms and chocolate chips.
Store in the refrigerator until serving. Serve with pretzels, graham crackers, or apple slices. You can dip or spread this depending on how thick you made your dip. Try not to eat it all like I did!
Note: You can use more or less oats to adjust the thickness of your dip. Start with about 1 1/2 cups oats and keep adding until you reach your desired thickness. If you use quick oats you might use less since it's finer and will make the dough thicker.

Imgur won't upload the picture for me (a sign of its intelligence clearly) so you'll just have to imagine it.

I don't think it's as bad as the "Oreo cookie balls" that my (non-cooking) buddy makes once a year. Grind up a whole package of Oreos with cocoa powder, cream cheese and powdered sugar, roll up into balls, chill and serve. loving disgusting, but he is so proud of them that I don't have the heart to tell him that.

Why does the serrated have those points at the end? It makes no sense, unless it doubles as a meat fork? That seems like the Guy Ferry way of thinking.

A woman at my work makes those at christmas and calls them Oreo Truffles and man they are so bad. There are a couple of ladies here who scarf them down.

On the Fieri knife thing I like how everything has a couple of names along with a couple of dumb uses. Knuckle Sandwich Dragon Dagger - combo off set serrated and fork.

That sounds amazing -- because you know what Oreos need, more fat and more sugar.

It's supposed to be cookie dough dip so I think it's to give that raw flour taste to it like real cookie dough!!! Though it beats me how cream cheese fits in, other than to make me gag.

The hallmark of stones that obstruct the ureter or renal pelvis is excruciating, intermittent pain that radiates from the flank to the groin or to the genital area and inner thigh.[1] This particular type of pain, known as renal colic, is often described as one of the strongest pain sensations known.
