Sheep Have Wool

I'm fascinated by the thought process displayed by this post. Just to be clear, your contention is that Urban didn't lie on purpose because he knew he'd get caught in it, he just tripped and fell and the words, "I got a text late last night something happened in 2015. And there was nothing. Once again, there's nothing—once again, I don't know who creates a story like that." came out by accident, right? That clearly makes a ton more sense than some guy who is used to not having his word questioned expecting no one to question his word.

Missed the sale earlier, so I'm looking for two.

I don't generally make them because I think they're finicky as fuck, and I much prefer normal ribs. If you're committed to making them, know that they're done over a hotter temperature than traditional ribs for less time - which makes them easy to overcook or burn. The best dry ribs I've had also got repeated rub + vinegar basting during the cooking in addition to rub before and especially after cooking. I'm not sure if that was traditional, but it tasted good. I don't have a specific recipe, but any sweet/spicy rub with paprika would probably be fine. I'd try indirect heat at 350ish until they're finished, and know you'll probably ruin a few racks until you get them dialed in. As for good spots in Memphis, I've got no idea. All the food I had there was mediocre at best.

I just...wow. I was in Memphis a few months ago. I have nothing against dry rubbed ribs. I was excited to go to Rendezvous. That said: Rendezvous makes the most overhyped, stringy, dry-as-fuck ribs I've ever had. I would be entirely unsurprised if Taylor Hamm was a consulting chef. They were bad, and you should feel bad for thinking they were good. If you're of the opinion that they're serving anything remotely close to decent barbecue, you need to get your ass back to central Texas, stat. Also, with Wilson's comments, I'm curious what is filtering out to tOSU recruits regarding Urban's future. I'm sure they're being told that everything is fine and that there's nothing to see there, but have any of them expressed doubts publicly?

Jerky is a pretty obvious choice, and I definitely recommend the bolognese that someone mentioned previously. I've done this Dean Fearing buffalo tenderloin with venison before, and it turned out great. As for more creative ideas for the rest of the deer that I've had success with: meatballs (with some added fat), a bourguignon-style stew with shredded meat, and shepherd's pie.

A tip of the hat, sir. That looks outstanding.

I strongly prefer a dry brine over a traditional brine for pork chops. A typical brine makes it more difficult to get a nice crust on a chop. I also really like the reverse sear method if I'm not breaking out the sous vide cooker for the same reason. This is a traditionally brined chop I made; it's pretty pale relative to my ideal. That said, I do like a peach/bourbon glaze for summer chops. Add some gelatin to a cup of chicken stock, then reduce with some peaches and jalapenos, and add a splash of bourbon to loosen the sauce back up before serving. You can grill some peaches and throw them on top.

A guy with "texasstrong" in his name has trouble identifying a coach who is underperforming? I'm shocked. Shocked.

I've never done Stroganoff with venison before, but that looks awesome. One thing I will do to avoid overcooking the meat, though, is to pull it out after cooking. I make the sauce in the same pan, and then add the beef back in later to reheat it just before serving. It lets me get the sauce how I want it without worrying about overcooking the tenderloin.

A paloma is great for the summer, as is a negroni. One drink that I think gets overlooked in general, but especially as a summer cocktail, is a nice Tom Collins - they're incredibly refreshing. 1.5 oz gin 1 oz simple syrup (or see lazy method below) 3/4 oz lemon juice Combine, then pour over ice and top with a couple ounces of sparkling water. You can fancy it up with a cherry (a nice one, not the fluorescent red shit) and citrus peel. If you're too lazy to make a batch of simple syrup to keep in the fridge, just add 1/2 oz water and 1/2 oz sugar, then shake before pouring over the ice.

I dunno. We've tried the whole "quarterback who turns over the ball and loses you games" thing, and I'm willing to give the other side a shot just to see how it works out.

They've since updated the game to make it much, much, much easier to connect and set up. I still don't like that it requires the XBox app, though.

The cheap kind that's leftover after making steak au poivre.

Charlie Strong is a werewolf confirmed?

...who else would give a shit about them other than another aggy?

Thanks! It's incredibly easy, though. The ceviche is just a matter of going to a decent fish market and asking, "So, what marine fish are fresh today? I'd like to make ceviche." Literally anything fresh is fine, but I do like to stick to salt water for stuff I'm making at home. About 1 lb of fish, some lime juice, some orange juice, some thinly sliced red onion, your favorite chile, and then whatever else you have floating around that sounds good. I think this batch had some avocado, Fresno chiles, and some chives that were getting old. I like to marinate mine for about 15 minutes and cut the fish into larger slices to get a nice contrast in texture between the "cooked" outside and the raw inside. You can marinate for less time for a more sashimi-like experience, or 45 min+ if you like well done steak and chili with beans. If you want to make it look even fancier, you can throw it in a chilled martini or coupe glass and serve it up as an appetizer. Watermelon/mint/feta is the easiest "fancy" salad ever - https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/06/watermelon-feta-mint-salad-recipe.html Esquites are just elotes off the cob. Grilled or skillet-charred corn + mayo + chili powder + lime juice+ cilantro + cotija cheese.

It's been a bit since I've posted anything here, but this was a really solid summer meal. Halibut ceviche, some esquites, and a watermelon/mint/feta salad. There was also a cherry sangria, but I wasn't super happy with how it turned out. The best part about this meal is that everything requires minimal effort/time, but the return is great.

It's in the TexAgs style guide. When he says things like, "I'm not sure that A&M hasn't won a championship more recently than Texas" or "When it comes to head-to-head battles, I can't say that no one is going to outwork Jimbo and his staff, but I can't not either," aggy brains just parse it as "gig um mr smart wurds! sitting p5 ring bearer power moved those tsips! take my 9.95!"

You read the thread, and this is what you got out of it? How do you get through life with such a limited ability to understand the context of what people are saying? It's things like this that remind me how fucking stupid Sooners are. I know it in my head, but it's good to have a reminder for the heart. Thank you.

There are plenty of kids who do stupid shit with hats and make other efforts to manufacture drama. That's stupid attention whoring bullshit. This is just a shitty thing to do; it's disrespectful to the folks who spent time recruiting him, and it absolutely is reflective of his character. This seems to me on the same level as a person who makes a scene at a restaurant just to get free shit. Is it a big deal in and of itself? Probably not, but I'm going to think you're a classless shithead, and there's no way I'll want to have you around.

I don't post often, but are you fucking serious, Clark? If he actually commits to aggy literally the day after posting a top 3 of other teams, I think "this kind of move is the pinnacle of shitbaggery" pretty well hits the nail on the head. There are plenty of shitty people that aren't actively rapists or kleptomaniacs, and him pulling this sort of douchebag move for the lolz absolutely says a ton about his character.

Go home Roma, you're drunk.

I assumed that he meant that the 5 OL were blocking 4 pass rushers as a unit and providing help rather than it being four 1v1 matchups with Vahe blocking air or three 1v1 and a 2v1.
