  1. Chicken. Why does it occasionally end up with the texture of rubber? It can be a whole breast or a tender and it can be grilled or fried. I’ve never had that problem with a whole roasted chicken. I’ve had the same experience with frozen fried HEB chicken tenders with sometimes half the bag with that awful texture.

    Tennis Thread

    I’ve played since I was about 7 years old and I’m now 59. It’s a great sport. A word of wisdom about tennis elbow. I never had an issue until I was around 53 or so. I switched to a very light, stiff racquet and tried to modernize my swing and I developed tennis elbow. I was out of the game for 20 months. Avoid stiff racquets and definitely stay away from poly strings. They are evil. But everyone wants to play like Nadal . . .
  3. Of Sandra Lee, Anthony Bourdain famously stated, “This frightening Hell Spawn of Kathie Lee and Betty Crocker seems on a mission to kill her fans, one meal at a time.”
  4. As shitty of a person that Shane is, he should not be criminally responsible for Armond’s death. He didn’t get away with anything there.
  5. March was on a couple of cooking shows with Flay way back when. She seemed like a cool person. I’m pretty sure she’s a Texan. I still like Flay’s shows but my opinion of him dropped a couple of notches after he let her go.
  6. After I had children I can’t listen to Tears in Heaven by Clapton.
  7. She's been plucked more times than the Rose of Tralee. Giada, not your wife.
  8. In addition to the hoodie thing, I don’t get wearing shorts when it’s 30 degrees outside.
  9. I’m with tbone. I don’t get tattoos.
  10. Was coming to post this. Also, if it’s just her word against his with no contemporaneous physical evidence, the judge should not let it go to the jury.
  11. I’m waiting. . . From the neck down she’s rather nice though.
  12. I’ve tried several Four Roses and for me they all have a distinctive flavor that I can’t handle.
  13. Those guys have a low beta. I have a high beta. I’m a 10.8 index and my average score is around an 86 at my home course. But on any given day I can shoot a 95 or an 82. My low round ever is a 77.
  14. Good post. Not doubting it, but I’m a little surprised a 1.5 index would have never broken par.
  15. This is a game changer for Manhattans.
  16. This. I’m a 10.8 index and I hit my drive 270 (sometimes longer) and my 5 iron 190 but short game often is a challenge. I usually play the men’s tees which is one short of the very back tees.
  17. When I had a pool I was a disciple of troublefreepool.com. Go there and follow the advice. CYA levels should never get too high if you are doing it right. If they do then you basically are fucked and you have to drain to get it down.
  18. If you are going to keep it wrapped and stored in a cooler for an hour or two post-smoke shouldn’t you let it come down to around 160-170 degrees first? I have wrapped it in paper and towels right after taking it off the smoker (at around 204 or so) and put it in a cooler and it kept cooking.
  19. That was one my favorite Brady Bunch episodes.
  20. A bunch of them were Howard Hughes’ caretakers at the old DI.
  21. It’s a done deal. 100% that we are playing in the SEC in 2022. Just read up a couple of pages. I hope your sarcasm meter is not broken. Sure, it may happen and it’s possibly even very likely to happen. But it’s not certain.
  22. I’m just a little younger. I was 17 when I started UT but turned 18 within a few months and then i was always legal during my four years as the drinking age was raised. Yes, it is hard to imagine going through much of college not being able to drink legally. Worst law ever but that’s another thread. On draft registration, I was among the first group to have to register for the draft. I was proud to do so.
  23. Assuming you can store them well (around 55 degrees) buy some second or third growth Bordeaux-first growth is damned expensive. In 20-25 years they should be outstanding especially if the vintages are good. They also likely will have appreciated in value, maybe even substantially. You/they may want to sell them.
  24. 77 earlier in the week in Colorado. My lowest round ever. Two birdies and I missed only one fairway and made two double bogeys from just off the green and I had a three putt par on a par 5.
