Grilled portobello's, grilled asparagus and Tuscan risotto. And I'm still loving the Weber grill.

R.I.P.

Pork chops and Brussels sprouts done on the new Weber. Chops were seared 2 minutes each side and then given another 8 minutes on indirect heat. Sprouts were done in cast iron with olive oil, salt and pepper on the side burner. Everything was great. I believe I will like this grill.

Except we'll take out 3 different 8 year olds in addition to the perps in the drone attack. Who holds the moral high ground then? And in this case will the drone attack be out of country or in? No one knows who did this yet. I agree we need to get those who did it, but we have to be more moral than they are.

Excellent race, excellent result. I keep laughing when they talk about Massa outpacing Alonso. He has - until it comes to Sunday. And then Fernando shows who the consummate driver is. But kudos to Kimi and Lewis for great drives. Webber? Bad luck maybe, but I wonder if his guys have been rattled by the fact that Red Bull did nothing to Mr Vettel over the last weeks. Oh well, I've never had a lot of love for Mark Webber. And it's good to see, from Vettel's race, that there may be enough weakness in their armor for someone else (preferably Red) to take the championships this year.

Disgusting. But if there is a bit of light in this dark shit, it's the fact that due to it being a marathon, there were a lot of medical people there to help hurting runners. I'm sure some lives may have been saved because of that.

Happy Birthday Jeffy!!

Let me know your thoughts once you've spent some time with them. I really do love them for use at work.

Went to the city for breakfast at the Little Goat Diner, owned by the same woman who runs The Girl and the Goat. Awesome breakfast - I had a Kimchee & Bacon & eggs & Pancakes Asian Style Breakfast Thing (actual name) and Debbie had a Parathas burrito - Indian flatbread, sunny side eggs, avocado bean salad & chili pepper sauce. And a big bloody mary for me. Yum!!

Not ink, but I've been using these for note taking at work: And to get a perfect point, use one of these.

Go MathGurl!!!

Happy Birthday to all, and to all a.... um.... you know..... yeah.

Bangers and Mash accompanied by a Boddington's.

Happy Birthday Doug. Hope it was an awesome day.

Happy Birthday Doug!!

Best wishes Larry.

Yay!! I feel better now.

I too was not a big Hamilton fan, but I agree Steve, the maturity he displayed last year impressed me, and even more so in taking the chance to move to Mercedes this year. And my guess is that he will be champion again with Mercedes, maybe as soon as next year. Ferrari took a chance and lost by keeping Fernando out. I understood what they were doing - trying to get him one or two more laps on inters to maximize the slicks when he came in. They failed. That's racing. I was more concerned that the wing failure looked really scary and left Alonso with a true lack of control. Luckily it worked out ok. Fernando will be back next race as strong as ever. Rosberg needs to understand team dynamics. Had the roles been reversed, Ross would have told Hamilton to hold position as well. Sometimes you have to take one for the team. And you guys are right - Lewis admitting Nico should have been on the podium was a class act. Pity that Vettel couldn't do the same. And I'm sorry, I need to rant a little here. Vettel is a great driver, there is no doubt. But he's an arrogant asshole. It was made quite clear to him and Webber that they were to hold station. And Vettel did not. I felt Webber was justified in being pissed, and I hope Mark can come to terms with his emotions. The reason I say that is a similar incident killed my favorite driver of all time. In the 1982 Italian Grand Prix, the two Ferrari's were 1-2. Gilles Villeneuve led Didier Perroni, and no one was challenging them. They were told to hold station. On the final corner, Perroni passed Gilles, and Villeneuve was livid. He swore he'd never speak to Perroni again. At the next race, Gilles swore he'd not be out qualified by Perroni and went out for one last gonzo run to beat him. And he made a mistake. he hit the rear wheel of Jochen Mass and crashed horribly, thrown from the car. Killed. These emotional issues have consequences and Vettel needs to have his ass spanked to make him very aware of this. End rant.

I am too brother. I am too.

Confirmed. I will not be able to make it. I has a sad.

^^^ This. Happy Birthday Al!! Drink deep and enjoy the day.

I thought it was a very good race. Regardless of whether the weather helped Ferrari, it is obvious they are leagues ahead of where they were at the same time last year. Fernando drove well and Massa seems to have pulled his thumb out and gotten with the program. I was not upset that Kimi won. He's probably the only "old style" driver out there. He doesn't give a rat's patoot about the promotional/glamour/shiny side of the sport. He's one of those guys who is not afraid to tell the world to kiss his ass. Those people are rare in racing these days. McLaren may need to do some digging. Neither car looked impressive. Mercedes was pretty impressive and will hopefully continue to improve and impress. And Force India? Hell yeah! Red Bull? It's good to see Vettel didn't run away from anyone this time. I don't begrudge them their past glory but I'd really like to see how Vettel does as a driver when he has to run further down the field with others in equal cars. Oh, and there is no truth to the rumor that Mark Webber is lobbying for rolling starts... So we have the potential for a great season. Let's see how things go from here on out. Forza Ferrari!!

Good job Raffy!

So mikey, let us know when the embargo is lifted and we shall discuss Australia.

I had one of those a couple of weeks ago (not the testicle sammich) and it was one of the best steaks I've ever cooked and eaten. Debbie is making stuffed cabbage tonight to tip our hats to the Irish.
