grawk Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Tonight was thomas's last travel hockey game of the year! Thank god! Luckily, spring hockey is only 15 minutes from home, not 45+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Did my taxes. Glad to have that crap done, this year was fairly complicated, what with having to file multiple income sources and 3 states and all. At least I have an awesome return coming.

boomana Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Took my parents to Sundy House for brunch. They're at the omelet bar right now, so I took this pic of the view from our table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Damn those ribs and chicken look good. Which Traeger do you have Mike? I think I have the wife convinced we need to upgrade our BBQ hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Mike, when you beer can cook the chicken, what tmeperature and for how long? Do you sprinkle or marinade with fresh lemon juice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emooze Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 The liquor store near me, Julio's, has a huge whisk(e)y tasting festival every year at this time. Had all sorts of bourbon, rye, blended and single malt whiskies and whiskeys. Perhaps the most surprising was Amrut Single Malt which is a peated whisky from India that is indistinguishable from a good peated highland malt.

tyrion Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Jim, It's the Texas Elite which is the same one that Al had in Mayberry. Reks, thanks! Greg, I put olive oil on all over the bird then kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika. I set the grill at around 300/350. I stick a thermometer in the bird and cook until the internal temp is 180. For a 5 pounder it's about 1 1/2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aura Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Visited Oak Park this weekend. Allison made a truly awesome breakfast this morning that included some scrambled eggs with spinach, garlic, onion, and some other delicious crap. Watched True Blood, went to Target, got back and made Penne with Vodka sauce, then watched more True Blood. Then I had to drive 150 miles south back to school. Sure will be nice to not have to leave Oak Park anymore come June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Mike, those ribs look fantastic. I really do need to get a smoker! Do you have both a BGE and a Traeger now? Which do you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) This was Saturday but I never actually posted about it... I was minding my own business on an otherwise uneventful day and went outside only to see three fire engines, an ambulance, and several police cars on the street. Apparently one of the neighbors was burning some stuff in their backyard and left it unattended, which spread and caught their shed on fire.

trevorlane Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Mount Snow on Saturday, tried moguls for the first time and made it through 6 out of 8 runs. I can't wait to go back next weekend to try again, this time I plan on not crashing into someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have the Bubba Keg, n/k/a The Big Steel Keg. I was going to buy the BGE but then read about the steel keg, saw that Home Depot was blowing them out at $300 and figured I would give it a try at that price. I really like it but use it mostly for pizza and steaks. The Traeger is only used for low and slow smoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadhead Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) applied for a better paying job at another department on campus. the other department is run by the former head of my department, who i get along with very well, so i'm hopeful. it's about a 1/3 more pay than i currently make. Good luck. Me: Arrived back from a cycling trip at 3am after 8+ hours of driving (2+ behind the wheel) and preceded by 6 hours of cycling including climbing 5000ft or so over 80 miles. This was after 2 other days of climbing mountains including one where we had to turn around because the Blue Ridge Parkway has been closed due to snow and fog.
