GM's thread about nothing (37 Viewers)

Best of luck to your mom moleculo. My FiL has had a diabetic low that caused a black out. Far more dangerous than any of us realized before that.

Sweet. The second one is no problem. You'll be in there telling the nurses what to do and shoving the doctor to get out of the way so you can make the catch.

Floppo Son number 1's birthday party was today, so the wife was no ####### way going to miss that. We went to the hospital immediately afterwards around 1... I'm just getting back to relieve the babysitter and she's still there.
 
Because I'M SURE YOU WERE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT THIS, JR was a perfect angel today. Looked out the window the whole time on the Austin/Houston leg and slept pretty much the whole way from Houston to Charleston. Never even had to break out the DVD player. It was unbelievable. We got here, checked in, and took him down to the beach.

We were worried because he'd never been near an ocean before, but he hopped right in (fully clothed) and had a great time for over an hour. I'm sure that the people that got on the elevator with us at this hoity toity resort and saw the soaking wet, mud covered two year old in nothing but a diaper are deeply worried about the hillbillies coming to town. I'm chugging Tecate, sitting on the back porch and thinking about how life is grand.

ETA - I'm also thinking about peeing off the balcony. It's one of my greatest joys in life. I fear that someday I'm going to get on a hotel blacklist and never be allowed to stay above the first floor.

Bonus points if it's over a courtyard / outdoor pool.

I did that at a crappy Days Inn in Houston once, not remembering (possibly due to alcohol) that the front desk also faced the pool. The Pakistani dude working the night shift came running out of the door screaming at me. He threatened to throw me out of the motel. I can't imagine how, in my state at the time, I talked him into letting me stay but he did.
 
Enjoyed a lovely evening in the St. Pete area with mid 80's air temp, 82 water temp and a nice breeze...(and no wildfire smoke, YSR)

:thumbup: Sounds great. How long did it take you to get there? College roommate lives in Tampa and I'm thinking about a trip down before we skip town.Smoke wasn't as bad here today; we spent the day rebuilding a fence in the backyard and I only had to come inside a few times to adjust contacts, etc. Still pretty rough, though.

I need a really good eggplant parmesan recipe.
Click to expand...
This is from Cook's Illustrated so I'm sure it's awesome.
EGGPLANT PARMESANPublished January 1, 2004. WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:We wanted our eggplant Parmesan recipe to be a fresher, lighter take on the classic Italian version—meaty slices of eggplant with a crisp and substantial (but not heavy) coating, napped with a simple tomato sauce, and well-flavored with Parmesan cheese. For our eggplant Parmesan recipe, we wound up skipping the frying altogether, instead baking the slices that had been coated in flour, eggs, and bread crumbs seasoned with Parmesan cheese. We then layered the eggplant with a simple tomato sauce, leaving the top layer of eggplant exposed so it stayed crisp.SERVES 6 TO 8Use kosher salt when salting the eggplant. The coarse grains don't dissolve as readily as the fine grains of regular table salt, so any excess can be easily wiped away. To be time-efficient, use the 30 to 45 minutes during which the salted eggplant sits to prepare the breading, cheeses, and sauce.INGREDIENTSEggplant2pounds globe eggplant (2 medium eggplants), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds1tablespoon kosher salt8slices high-quality white bread (about 8 ounces), torn into quarters1cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces)1cup unbleached all-purpose flour4 large eggs6tablespoons vegetable oilTomato Sauce3 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes2tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil4medium cloves garlic , minced or pressed through garlic press (about 1 generous tablespoon)1/4teaspoon red pepper flakes1/2cup fresh basil leaves chopped8ounces whole milk mozzarella or part-skim mozzarella, shredded (2 cups)1/2cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce)10 fresh basil leaves torn, for garnishINSTRUCTIONS1. FOR THE EGGPLANT: Toss half of eggplant slices and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt in large bowl until combined; transfer salted eggplant to large colander set over bowl. Repeat with remaining eggplant and kosher salt, placing second batch in colander on top of first. Let stand until eggplant releases about 2 tablespoons liquid, 30 to 45 minutes. Arrange eggplant slices on triple layer paper towels; cover with another triple layer paper towels. Firmly press each slice to remove as much liquid as possible, then wipe off excess salt.2. While eggplant is draining, adjust oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions, place rimmed baking sheet on each rack, and heat oven to 425 degrees. Pulse bread in food processor to fine, even crumbs, about fifteen 1-second pulses (you should have about 4 cups). Transfer crumbs to pie plate and stir in 1 cup Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set aside. Wipe out bowl (do not wash) and set aside.3. Combine flour and 1 teaspoon pepper in large zipper-lock bag; shake to combine. Beat eggs in second pie plate. Place 8 to 10 eggplant slices in bag with flour; seal bag and shake to coat eggplant. Remove eggplant slices, shaking off excess flour, dip in eggs, let excess egg run off, then coat evenly with bread crumb mixture; set breaded slices on wire rack set over baking sheet. Repeat with remaining eggplant.4. Remove preheated baking sheets from oven; add 3 tablespoons oil to each sheet, tilting to coat evenly with oil. Place half of breaded eggplant on each sheet in single layer; bake until eggplant is well browned and crisp, about 30 minutes, switching and rotating baking sheets after 10 minutes, and flipping eggplant slices with wide spatula after 20 minutes. Do not turn off oven.5. FOR THE SAUCE: While eggplant bakes, process 2 cans diced tomatoes in food processor until almost smooth, about 5 seconds. Heat olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and garlic is light golden, about 3 minutes; stir in processed and remaining can of diced tomatoes. Bring sauce to boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced, about 15 minutes (you should have about 4 cups). Stir in basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.6. TO ASSEMBLE: Spread 1 cup tomato sauce in bottom of 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Layer in half of eggplant slices, overlapping slices to fit; distribute 1 cup sauce over eggplant; sprinkle with half of mozzarella. Layer in remaining eggplant and dot with 1 cup sauce, leaving majority of eggplant exposed so it will remain crisp; sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan and remaining mozzarella. Bake until bubbling and cheese is browned, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool 10 minutes; scatter basil over top, and serve, passing remaining tomato sauce separately.

Way more involved than I thought it would be (about 2 hours total cooking time), but this recipe was awesome. I left the grocery store without the sausages Chaos Commish suggested (I liked the idea and had every intention of getting them, I just forgot), but everything about it was really, really good.Thanks, Aaron.

Show them a picture of your party bus. That'll learn 'em.
 
Sitting in Barnes and Noble, sobering up and reading "Go the #### to Sleep" to my drunk wife. I'm not getting laid tonight, so this is the highlight of the evening.

 
Spent a couple of hours today watching my 15yo daughter play on an adult softball co-ed league. She played 3rd base (that's what I played when I played on a co-ed softball team) and she did awesome! One inning she made all 3 outs. She needs help with her batting as she's never played slow pitch, only fast pitch.

Very proud. My daughter told them I could play if they needed another girl so I'll be playing with them. This will be the first time playing on a team with my daughter, not just coaching her.

Dear Joe,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the Free For All. I think we all love and appreciate the community that you, and we, have built over the past 10 or so years in this forum. Just about everyone that frequents this message board knows that he/she can come to this website from home...during work...during a visit to mom and dads house....during a visit to the in-laws house...etc and knows that there will not be any objectionable material that would need to be explained.

Beyond that, there is a group of posters who felt it necessary to have their own thread. The iron fist that comes down on objectionable material is understandable. We understand the need for it and also appreciate it. But we don't want that either. There's a line to be drawn when consenting adults are congregating. We don't want to change the moderation of the FFA. We just want to be treated like adults. We "toe the line" every day. We "cross that line" every day. But do we affect anyone in the FFA? How many times has this thread been reported?

We have a great thing going on with this thread. We have laughed together, we have cried together. We have had members die and had members bring life into this world together. We have shared embarrassing moments and have shared personal, heart wrenching moments together. We have bought houses and sold houses together. We have been hired and fired together. We have gotten married and divorced together. We have had children and lost children together. We have exchanged phone numbers and Facebook pages together. We have exchanged addresses and sent prize packages to each other. We have become....believe it or not...friends. It might just be me, but I consider the GMTAN posters as friends. I would buy any one of them a beer, I would take any one of them into my house.

We have established a community that you could never imagine and it is just within this one thread. And yet we get suspensions for a "bad word"

I...and I think I speak for all of us...I appreciate your heavy-handed moderation when it comes to the general FFA. It is your board and a lot needs to be filtered. But I also think I speak for all of us when I say there is no reason to pick us off, one by one, from afar after months, when we are 605 pages in, for something that would normally be offensive to the rest of the FFA. If Sister Georgia comes into page 504 of the GMTAN and complains about the word "shlong" I will be the first person to leave this place.

Otherwise, please let us police ourselves. We do a pretty good job of it already. And Aaron does an even better job of catching what we miss.

Thank you Joe for listening.

I petition that Samuel Bronkowitz, Homer Simpson, Sconch, and anyone that was suspended because of this thread, be reinstated. Again, we can police our own.

So Joe, I/we welcome you to this thread. We hope you can sit back, relax and enjoy the stories, cry with the heartbreak, laugh with the idiotic, and be one of us. If you are going to simply suspend us then I ask your leniency and please stay out of this thread.

Thanks

GMTAN

Took us about 5 hours but we took our time with not one but TWO produce stand stops on the backroads near Starke.We're in Indian Rocks Beach, about halfway between Clearwater and St. Pete Beach. Sleepy little town where the biggest excitement is the sunset over the Gulf every night.Spending Father's Day with wife and kids at the Rays game versus the struggling Marlins. Volstad is pitching for the Marlins, might get ugly.

In rough chronological order, Samuel LB said something funny, got a timeout, started drinking, started writing an angry letter, started getting misty eyed, then started writing more seriouslyer, then Krista fell in kind of love, although it may have something to do with him using the word "krippling".

Is it just me, or is Stryker-Shammy-Wow just begging the GMTAN to crash his wedding?
 
And happy fathers day to all the weirdos in this thread. I think we have proven that intelligence, maturity and nice hair cuts are NOT a requirement when it comes to being a good Dad.

No, seriously. We're having dinner and all of these people start walking in at one time and then there's Don King with an American flag draped over both of his shoulders.

all kinds of good stuff in here. I'm pretty well set with pens for life now. Got some file folders, some post-its, some hooters paraphenalia, a single ping pong ball, and what looks like a very good DVD. There's some Victoria's Secret lip blush as well. Also note the MS is BS t-shirt.

Happy Father's Day to those of you that managed to talk a woman into ejaculating into them, and then were still speaking with them 9 months later.

 
We have really enjoyed most of the ESPN 30 for 30s, the Reggie Miller one in particular. Right now we are watching the one about OJ. So wild to relive that day - I was in high school at the time and have very spotty recall of all that went on.
