    The BBQ Thread

    That laser temp reader looks familiar. I had to double check to make sure you didn't steal it from my kitchen. Even the tongs look familiar. You do realize there's a heat emergency going on right now? One of my gauges read 99.9 F outside - an hour ago. Young men like you should not be...

    Crazy People Encounters

    I've heard of people doing that. People complain about the Gaithersburg Costco. Some of them drive to the Frederick Costco just to avoid the Gaithersburg Costco.

    Crazy People Encounters

    I was inspired to make this thread after seeing the "Crazy Animal Encounters" thread - I wanted to tell this quick story and trying to figure out the best place to put it. Others may have crazy people encounters they'd like to share. It's last Saturday around noon. June 21st. Safeway is...

    The Snack Thread

    Tell her HB for me!!! ;-) Meanwhile the Herr's Old Bay chips are still $2/49 at HT. The label clearly says $4.79 on sale for $3.99 (save 80¢) price good thru 6/17, but today 6/23 the price rings up at $2.49. I just bought a couple bags 5 mins ago.

    Well what do you know. You have the same aluminum grill grates I have! Coincidence? I think not. :p

    St Michaels? It must be somebody's birthday weekend. You guys have been all over the region eating crabs and lobsters and who knows what. $6.99??? No no no no no. They're $2.99 at Giant Food. I just saw them there this morning! There's another one out - Herr's Old Bay chips. Retail...

    I did not know coriander came from cilantro! Interesting. I believe one or both of those are in the seven secret dry seasoning ingredients at Sunshine.

    What's for Dinner?

    I had a burger for lunch w/ provolone. I sprinkled some ground cardamom and some ground coriander in it prior to cooking. It was absolutely excellent. One could almost say it was perfect. Every bite I asked myself, "What hath God wrought?"

    What's for Dinner?

    You've got a keen eye! I am an old-school guy. That pan was actually a gift from DLSF. I've had it around three years or so I guess. The idea is the hex that you see is steel, and then teflon or something was poured into and between the hex design. And then hardened. And then there's...

    You likely have Japanese blood in you from some long-lost ancestor. I'm sure that must be the explanation. I propose Boone be in charge of the sushi station at the 2025 BGO Tailgate.

    What's for Dinner?

    Last night's fresh wild Alaskan sockeye - melted butter, dill, fresh lemon juice, cooked gently in a pan to 125 F. Very nice. Not as nice as SF1311's dinner pictured above though

    What's for Dinner?

    Oh yeah, whenever we have sushi at home, we put on Japanese music. It sets the mood. And sake. That sets the mood too. I like Meiko Kaji. I actually own this album. This particular tune might sound vaguely familiar. 修羅の花 梶 芽衣子

    What's for Dinner?

    Yeah - We tried that for a while - a long time ago. We had the mat (for rolls). It's really tricky. You need to get legit Japanese rice which is super sticky, and then it takes a while to rinse it thoroughly before you cook it. Cooking the rice is tricky too. I think they have a special...

    What's for Dinner?

    The fresh wild sockeyes are in, but supply is limited. There was a sign taped to the glass this morning at HT which read that all HT stores have a limited supply due to a late start of the season. These fresh wild sockeyes are also available at Safeway, Whole Foods, and Balducci's among...

    The forgotten Redskins owner....

    Yeah I've been reading a lot about the history of The Redskins lately - I've got like 20 books here - and Edward Bennett Williams was an amazing owner. Jack Kent Cooke was too. I read that JKC was ultimately responsible for bringing George Allen to Washington. "We wondered why somebody...
