How does this sound for a wing sauce? Any suggestions, criticisms, or critiques? I'm just making stuff up here based on what I have in the house.1 c. Frank's Red Hot1 T cayenne2 T butter (melted)3-4 cloves garlic2 T Red wine vinegar1/8 c. brown sugar1 T worchestershirejuice of one lime (50/50 on this)

Massive failure. Franks is already so vinegary that adding vinegar to it just made it a vinergary vinegar sauce. Lost the spice, the sweet, the taste, the everything. Just threw it out and made my awesome dry rub instead.

I was afraid of all that acid, but I had already hurt your feelings about your PV's website, so I bit my tongue.It sounds bizarre, but add half a cup of mayo and cut the lime by half.

Actually went no lime at all. Creating my own dry rub went so well I thought I could do the same with sauce. Not so.

I really should quit drinking.

I really should quit drinking.

Probably not a bad idea. What time do you have to be at work?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I really should quit drinking.

Like, for now?

No. Like, forever. Or at least a few weeks.

Taking a few weeks off can be a shark move from time to time. Don't tell my liver I said that though.

The most points scored in a college football Bowl game is 66, scored by Nebraska

against Northwestern in the 2000 Alamo Bowl



This record could be broken twice tonight

I had the under. But also had Baylor.

Can't wait for the new season of An Idiot Abroad.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Wife and I got some tests done as part of our application to get life insurance. One of my cholesterols came up as "elevated." Normal is up to 200, I'm at 222. I am concerned and plan to make this better, but my wife has gone completely off the rails and is now checking every single food we have in the house for something that I don't know what that makes it bad for me. She's going to have me eating like, lettuce and radishes for every meal now isn't she?

What was your LDL vs. HDL? My cholesterol is high except that is is all "good" stuff such that my doctor says I'll live forever. Unless your dangerous levels are bad, then it's nothing to worry about. ETA: Still this is krista.

I'm going to have to find the sheet now. Hopefully this pays off. Otherwise it's extra work for nothing.

Take a fish oil pill once a day and start mixing in a little fiber in your dirty. Also, did you just take the tests? Like during the holidays whenyou're likely eating a bunch of high cholesterol foods? If so that could be a spike in the numbers

Just looked on my front porch (we come and go through the garage) and found two new phone books out there. Who the hell uses phone books these days? They went right into the recycling bin.

I like to tear them in half.

Enraged, I presume, that they don't have numbers like BR-549 any more.

dammit

GM>Are we still going to have a "bet" on the Rose Bowl?

Yup. Let me know how you want to do this. Line is currently Oregon -5.5 (down from 6.5). As I've indicated earlier, I am holding Wisconsin +6.5, so really don't have a great deal of faith in Oregon to win/cover this one. So I probably wouldn't be willing to bet a large sum (in either cash/prizes/shtick) on the Ducks in this one. Twelve pack? Something along those lines?

Keep looking.

I see the picture, but have no clue what it is.

Somebody photoshopped (I can tell by the pixels) a picture of Jabba the Hut on the wall.

Interesting.I guess.....

You don't need to quit drinking, you just need more structure in your life. I also think you'd be a great candidate to pick-up and move somewhere new. Get a fresh start somewhere else. You'd be forced to spend more time/energy on building a new life that you'd have less time/energy to spend on boozing it up. Not that you couldn't, but you wouldn't have the cheap, easy access and free time you have now.

If I didn't have structure and a duty to my wife/kids, I'd spend a LOT more time boozing it up and partying. It's what I do when I'm bored, so I try as best I can to fill my days up in advance. And that includes scheduling days where I'm going to do nothing but drink/party/rock and act like a frat boy. I'm going to Dallas/Austin in February to see my old friends. I am going to absolutely destroy my liver and brain cells. But before I go, I'll hopefully log several miles on the treadmill, coach several basketball games for my kids, not miss a day of work and try to do all the right things so when I go, I can feel good about being a jerkass. I'll still enjoy a daily beer or glass of wine, but I can't go to 11 every night anymore. At my age, I'll die and I just don't have the time. I can go to 2 or maybe 3 at best and I'm fine with that, though I'm not afraid to crank it up to a 7 now and then. But when I go to Texas in February? I'm going to 11. It'll be messy as hell and I'll feel like the HBO Crypt Keeper looks when the trip is over, but I plan on enjoying myself before returning back to normal life.

Anyhow, seems like you go pretty hard on a nightly basis, which can take its toll. I wish you all the best and hope you are doing okay.

I don't have much faith in the Badgers either so this will be some sort of a double reverse jinx bet, huh? Obviously I'd love the 6.5 but will take 5.5 if that's what you're offering. A 12 pack of Oregon brew vs a 12 pack of Wisconsin brew or something like that is cool with me.

Not to mention his drinking and driving every night is eventually going to catch up to him and one day some family's lives will be ruined because of the stupidity that is drinking and driving.

Oh and GM, my GB is making the Bacon Explosion for our new years eve party. Between the heart attack and other artery damage I will probably endure, I might not get to see the Rose Bowl. Can I opt out or should I have my wife contact you?

Yup. Let me know how you want to do this. Line is currently Oregon -5.5 (down from 6.5).

So a bunch of our vendors sent us food for the holidays. Popcorn Factory must have been having a huge sale becasue almost all of it is from there. Problem is that caramel (pronounced "car-mool" here in Ohio) corn is one of those thing I can't get enough of. Put this stuff in front of me and I turn into some kind of wild animal, like I'm regressing to a primordial being like in Altered States. You should see the floor of my office right now.

And we have tons of this stuff. This will not end well.
