  1. Yeah, that was something else, though not nearly as disturbing as the the two orphan children we happened upon living in a literal mud hut in the rural Rakai District on the border of Uganda and Tanzania. I do think it's important to allow yourself to experience both the beauty and despair. Go to Karen and have some delicious coffee, but then spend some time in Kibera (with a local guide).
  2. I've got this Illinois/Minnesota game on and just saw Bret Bielema for the first time in a few years. wow.
  3. Yep. I'll take that. 1) Thought I was on the game thread. 2) Didn't realize how much time was left. Neg away. I suck.
  4. Hooray. They out choked us.
  5. Hard to run with shit in your pants.
  6. I've only spent time in Kenya and Uganda. Both were awesome in their own way but if I had to recommend one of the two for their respective major cities I'd say Nairobi over Kampala. I'll echo that getting around is not easy- even by air. My experience with the 3 I flew out of was not good- think Denver airport during a blizzard in the middle of a baggage handlers' strike.
  7. Cue the annual Halloween fear mongering. Actually it's pretty tame compared to last year's fentanyl nonsense. https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-police-warn-parents-child-ingests-thc-infused-candy-received-halloween-school-event Inspecting the candy is "extra" caution?
  8. Agree with everything here, except that kids mostly have no choice. In Canada maybe, but here in the US, unfortunately this isn't the case. Anecdotally, I can tell you that only a small percentage of kids wear them. For the ones who do, it's typically the turtle neck style with the kevlar reinforced necks. My kid fought it because he said it was hot, but quickly got used to it. I do think we'll see more usage now at the youth level, but it'll come via parents and individual associations first before state and federal governing bodies. Here's the most recent statement from USA Hockey that I've been able to find (they only go so far as to recommend): As a goalie, my kid finally gave into the trifecta of dangler, clavicle guard, and shirt- all serving different but overlapping protection.
  9. Yes. It was called "chicken chili and cheese taco".
  10. Posting here instead of the chili thread because, well, I don't want to get murdered. I grew up in San Antonio. During high school, we basically lived at a restaurant on Bandera Rd. called Fajita Cocina. Along with all of the standard Tex-Mex fare was, by far, my favorite menu item. The chili and cheese taco. That was over 30 years ago, and I've been chasing the recipe ever since. Here is my latest effort: Ingredients (most of them anyway) are collected. Dried guajillo and Ancho taking a bath. Chicken is seasoned and seared Tomato, onion, and fresh peppers are ready to join the reconstituted peppers in the blender. All in the pot with a floated jalapeno 4 beers later... Garnished with cilantro, cheese, and raw onion Delicious.
  11. Lots and lots of folks (myself included) use reconstituted or powdered poblanos (Ancho), but I've personally never used fresh ones. I don't see how it could hurt, especially if blended.
  12. Not good.
  13. It was my worst fear as a hockey parent. Neck and clavicle protection is still rarely worn, even for goalies. Please, no one post the video. If you're into snuff films you can find it elsewhere.
