  1. Panarin looking good for the Hawks in Brooklyn

    That place looked goofy no? Just read up on Barcleys Center, was not designed with hockey in mind. Ice not centered, nor is scoreboard. Lot of obstructed view seats. Just looked weird when my son and I watched the 3rd and OT.

     

    just be careful buying tickets there for a Sabre game.

  2. It's on 635-1 on directv. Or msga1hd whatever that means. It's where.most of their games are on directv.

    i am only getting a message game is blacked out on 635-1  Off to dinner, was hoping to watch when i got back. DTV was off no help...and yes i get both Center Ice and the regioanls.

     

    BTW, there is nothing in the 700's with NHL games as of now

  3. Our week spent at the beach in Maine is nearly over. We've had lobster in restaurants a couple of times. Leaving in a few for the fish market. I'm getting some shedders and doing them at the beach house tonight. Most folks look down on the soft shells but they are my favorite. Tender, sweet and perfect. The ultimate match for my black IPA home brew.

    I have never had a soft shell lobster....plenty of soft shell crabs , but no lobster. I am guessing just a simple grilling?

     

    Also, I must suck at beer pairing cause a black IPA would have been the last thing I would pair with lobster. How was it?

    Sage gin and Fever Tree Indian tonic water makes a very fine G&T.

    BTW, if you have a Whole Foods around , the 365 tonic is made with cane sugar as well, taste all the equal to the Fever Tree , and is half the price. Yep , something at Whole Foods can actually be economical.

     

    I know all too well, wife has a Hendricks and Tonic every night.

  4. Sorachi Ace, or some hot pepper beer? I like the Ace, never seen a pepper beer from them.

    sorry for the delay, was the Ace i believe. I like the hot sues, really love it, but just not in beer!

     

    Back to the old standby Tank 7 tonight...that beer is way to tasty to be 8.5%. Kills me everytime. I do believe my 7 AM run in a bit of danger

  5. Another great domestic sour is La Folie from New Belgium. I went on the tour in Colorado a few years ago and they had samples of the base brown ale and then the fantastically complex soured version afterwards. Awesome.

    That is a very nice, and the Rodenbach Flemish Brown as has been mentioned. Local beer palace in Richmond had a sour night month or so ago..$40 but well worth it. Love the sours.

  6. What's your sauce of choice? In my mind pulled pork is always sauced, so it took some getting used to going to more authentic places where the "barbeque" referred to cooking style vs. flavoring. Even if it's tender pork, I still want sauce, dammit! But I tend to favor vinegar-based (Carolina style?) bbq vs. the sweeter sauces.

     

    P.S. - why the water?

    I have found these to be my favorite store bought sauces. We tend to use either the Carolina(vinegar based) or the Hot Smoky. Will not find sugar listed until like the 8th ingredient in any of their sauces. Can usually find both of them at Fresh Market of Crate and Barrel. If you want some of the more esoteric ones, you can order from the website. Looks like a few new ones on there I will be ordering. Yummy , yummy stuff. Well worth the postage!

  7. Plain greek yogurt with maple syrup is pretty good too. We can't give LPM honey until 1 yr so I was looking for something to replace it. I'm using "real" syrup so I'm not sure how the corn syrup based stuff would work.

    Hmm, what is LPM honey? I like the raw honey from the farmers market , and I always see the 1 year warning on there .

     

    Hoss, in terms of restaurants we ate at the Liberty Hound before the opener last year....enjoyed it. Right down at Canalside.

  8. I freaking love ribeye. Also, I agree with your prep -- liberal salting (I add a little pepper but not much -- it's really the salt that does the job). I usually trim the bigger fat deposits before cooking, because it's still pretty marbled even after the trimming, but that's just a personal preference.

     

    My report for this thread is that I made a pork shoulder in the smoker for the first time for a decent-sized group, and it was fantastic. I think it might've been the best thing I've ever made in the smoker.

     

    Here is the recipe that I used, in case anyone is interested: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Pork/Pulled-Pork.htm

     

    And the perfect side dish: baked mac and cheese -- http://www.chow.com/recipes/30436-homerooms-classic-macaroni-and-cheese

     

    I've got a fridge full of leftovers that I'm going to be grazing on for days.

     

    I smoke aot of butts. I always partition the leftovers into individual servings into baggies and freeze them. Makes for a great quick lunch, great for kids to pu out and microwave as well when they need to make their own dinner. I wrap them in plastic wrap first to keep away the dresser burn, last a good 2-4 months and still delicious even microwaved.

  9. This is an interesting way of looking at it. Also, my breakfast pizza had no eggs. I think that's kind of sad.

     

     

    We have only four sit down toilets for men and six for women, so no.

     

     

    See, if you gave me a choice between this and breakfast pizza, I'd take the breakfast pizza, but only because I hate blueberries. Any other fruit, though, and I'm going for the yogurt.

     

    Some people spell yogurt with an H. "Yoghurt." I think these people probably are ######.

    No breakfast pizza for me either. i do love the plain Greek yogurt with fruit I throw in...just awesome

  10. I'm a consumer, not a brewer...Recently, I've noticed a few hops "orchards" or "vineyards" or what ever you call a plot of land where hops are being grown..... around Rochester. They are fields of telephone poles spaced maybe 20 feet apart with wires connecting the tops of the poles in row-like fashion. The hops plants grow up wires or strings that attach from the ground, to the wires strung across the tops of the poles. If you see one of these areas you'll know. They are very unique.My question is ..... who is buying the hops being grown there? Private guys who like to brew? (Brew supply houses?)Wouldn't the taste/quality of the hops vary quite a bit?

    I am a consumer as well, but their is a brewery down here in Richmond that grows everything they put in their beers on their farm.

    That picture prolly looks familiar to you... Anyway, their beers are great, but expensive. They actually have a pumpkin beer that comes out when a pumpkin beer should....around thanksgiving! They harvest the pumpkins in Early September....they don't use canned pumpkin etc.

     

    On that topic, was in Total Wine this weekend looking for some Hop Sun...no more. Already phasing out the summer beers in friggin JUNE! I don't want a Pumpkin beer in August! Or a winter warmer in September

  11. Heated some frozen pulled pork for dinner on Wednesday, Peruvian chicken(take out) last night...both were greatly enhanced by the home made pickled red onions I put on top. I always have a mayo jar filled with them....they just make everything better!

     

    Wonder if there is a market to sell them commercially ?

  12. I'm close to that. But I stop short in the face of a small handful of adult beverages -- shandys (shandies?) among them.

     

    I judge those beverages as unpalatable. No need to judge those who drink them.

    10 years ago had a job that took me to the London suburbs for 1 week a month. Fellas there drank shandy's ( mostly with 7 up or sprite) as the drink/drive laws there are so strict two pints of regular lager/ale put them over limit. I like to have a shandy now and then on a hot day after a round of golf, on a boat etc. but I always make my own...that artificial lemon flavor is just awful.
  13. Fried soft shells, spicy lime sauce, and a corn maque choux tonight. An Emeril recipe that is just awesome.

     

    I use Rice Chex instead of Panko as need to be Gluten Free tonight for guests.

     

    Great recipe...first peelers of the season for me. Can't wait to snip their faces off!

     

    For lunch, saved just enough Mahi from dinner last night to throw on do a quick tequila, lime, cumin marinade and have fish tacos !

     

    When it gets hot (95 yesterday) , seems like I want to eat seafood for every meal.

  14. I know nuthin bout brewing beer, but on Saturday go to friends house where he has an annual crawfish boil with a whole bunch of home brews on tap. He and 4 of his college buddies been doing this party for about 10'years...they get 100 lbs of fresh crawfish delivered Friday, they brewed the beer I guess 6 weeks or so ago.....just a great afternoon doing nothing but sucking crawfish brains and tails, eating corn and potatoes and drinking mess loads of home brew!
