Tried something new this weekend. We often make lime/cilantro rice, trying to be similar to that which is served at Chipotle. And ours has always been sticky and not that fucking great, to be honest. So I read up on how to do it and found something that actually works. First, you buy Basmati rice. I...

Can I get a teenth of what IB's drinking?

Perk. Jethus. Anyone got a pick of that midget standing next to... nevermind. We already have enough midget problems here.

Me and Mrs. 88 hung in until now (10:35 p.m. ET). Got to get up at 4:10 a.m. to take family to the airport. Catch ya next week. Great show, as always.

Tonight’s dinner was veal schnitzel with sauerkraut and spaetzel with pork gravy. Bought two veal scallopini portions and coated them with corn starch, egg wash (bit of milk) and bread crumbs. Got to let them dry for a while on a rack. Spaetzel is just egg, half shell of water and flour + salt and p...

Titassville is fun AF when NASA has a big launch.

OBX is cool. We went off season, which is way better. In the summer it is way too crowded. Typical Atlantic beach. Barely surfable waves and lots of wind.

Best scouting in CFB?

That looks great. We were on OBX all weekend. Lots of bar food, with a splash of seafood. Looking to get back in the kitchen soon.

My brother-in-law called to tell me he made Nate Rateliff’s green chili tonight. Now I can’t get it out of my mind. Could be on the horizon.

Any playlist that includes both Elvin Bishop and GG Allin has to be great.

I posted in the cooking forum. Locally, I find the burgers at Brooks Burgers (https://brooksburgers.com/) to be the best around, other than my own.

That venue makes me want to go hop on a plane. Never had chorizo in a burger. Mrs. 88 would freak. She is a huge chorizo fan. Our current fave burger is home made. I have no pics. But is made from wagu ground chuck and a thick slice of Vidalia onion. You sort of form the burger around the onion so t...

Cedar planks are crazy easy. Soak them in water for a while (we put them in the sink and weigh them down with glasses filled with water). Then you lay the fish skin side down on the plank and place on the grill, lid closed. Usually about 30 minutes with a hood temp in the low 300F’s. It takes a whil...

Chicken thighs. Big fan. We rub them with Karjos Easispice Jerk Seasoning (Amazon) and put them in the fridge for a at least a day. They get grilled Jamaica style (kind of blackened). We like to serve them with cilantro lime rice and roasted Parmesan acorn squash slices.

We do not get good salmon very often in SWFL. I can buy frozen wild caught salmon now and then. We usually prepare it on cedar planks, and top it with a citrus mixture of diced orange, jalapeños, tomatoes, cilantro, salt and pepper.

Wedge salads are the bomb. Big fans here. We substitute panchetta for bacon at times, and use diced local tomatoes when they are not shitty (often they are shitty). Crumbled Danish blue cheese is our “go to”, with Marzetti’s blue cheese dressing as a gooey drizzle.

So many good meals here. Rando thoughts. For lamb, Mrs. 88 won’t eat it unless it is medium (I would eat it still twitching). We have found a compromise. I get a lamb rack and “lollipop” the ribs. Hers are the “thin” ones and mine are the fatties. The thin ones also get trimmed of fat (and flavor). ...

My wife’s father (deceased, unfortunately), had a degree from Cornell’s hotel/restaurant program and could cook like no man I’ve met other than his son. His father was a butcher, and came from a long line of butchers. I’ve watched them break down beef and pork many times. I would like to see your te...

I go 9-1, and Chip C gets me with a better tie-breaker guess. Rack that dude, whoever he may be.

I am assuming that the must pick game is the game where we are using the total points for?

Thanks to Lefty for all of the "must-pick" selections. Well done, sir. Chip C is the regular season champ. Ordinarily, we would have a Bowl Championship round to determine to whom I should ship a football. Chip C has a few already (He donated a set to a Pee Wee football program in my forme...

I'm pleased and surprised to have won Week 1. That takes a bit of the pressure off, eh? I'm still learning how to use the CBS thingy. I did not realize until this morning that I have to "publish" the games before you can put picks in. I just did that. Sorry that it is late. I also just lea...

L45B,

We had the CFB world by the shorties and didn’t squeeze. But to be fair, I ain’t into squeezing shorties. Just sayin.

You cannot see others picks. New wrinkle, I guess.

88BuckeyeGrad

Make sure you go into the CBS account settings after you set up your account and hide your email address from others. You should also change your pick name to something other than your own name.

CBS has a pool that allows you to set up a pool and customize the rules of the game so that it has the same rules we always used (pick any 10 games against the spread). I set up a pool: https://picks.cbssports.com/college-football/pickem/pools/kbxw63b2ha4tembqgi3a====?invited-by=ivxhi4tzhiytgobwg4zd...

Here’s something for 88. Tonight’s dinner, the tasting menu at Le Christine. Small plates but they add up to a substantial meal. And each came with a different wine pairing and some pretty awesome bread. Unfortunately I can’t remember all the ingredients. Bread with turmeric butter - champagne of p...

There were tickets available for the top (on Monday) when I posted the link this morning. Otherwise, I would not have posted the link.

And I agree. Once to the top is enough for a lifetime.

Bon appétit!

Heading back to Paris for a couple of days on Sunday before flying back home on Wednesday. If you are going to visit the Eiffel Tower (and you should), buy your elevator tickets ASAP. Otherwise, you will not likely be able to visit the top (or will have to wait for hours and hours to do so). https:...
