It also eliminates sprouts that are crispy on the outside but raw in the middle, a problem if they're not all the same size. In any event, we agree on them as a great side.

Also keeps the oil from sinking in.  That and blanching are two of my favorite techniques. Now I would think blanching for the Brussel sprouts.  Curious why you don’t cold dunk.

I remember when I could fill up my Reliant K for $10.

When I started driving, gas was $.29 (cents) a gallon at the Shamrock. I got my first car towards the end of the Arab Oil Embargo.  Gas had almost doubled in price. I would have been shocked at paying $10 to fill my tank.  Now, I was earning $4.25 and hour so, gas went from costing me an hour of work to almost two hours.

Basically a variation on this:

I tend the cut the potatoes a bit smaller so there's more crispy surface area and play with the seasoning/type of potatoes a lot.  Enjoy. 

Do you roast the garlic and shallots together?  Ratio?

Is anyone doing their turkey in the microwave this year? I heard this is the hip new thing. Quick and juicy.

Yeah, you just gotta microwave it for 14 hours and it should be good!

The short story is... the alkalinity breaks down the outer starches, which is why he called it fluffy.  And then when roasting, the fluffy becomes crunchy... and I am very excited to try this.

Me too. Sounds delicious. 
 

but…. Yukon Gold or Russet?

Doing my Mac (McCain) and cheese a day early:

Yeah, NO. You haven’t had good Macaroni and Cheese.  Blend of cheese (play with these as you can come up with a lot of great combinations). Use evaporated milk or cream, mix in cooked macaroni and bake.  All sorts of things I would mix in like smoked bacon, pulled pork, steamed lobster or crab.   All sorts of spices to play with too.  But processed spread and mayonnaise?

I prefer mayonnaise!

Turkey brined and air drying.  Started prepping other pieces of tomorrow’s feast.

Funny thing is I grew up in the South but despise it.  My coleslaw has a cream and lemon base that would make you gage at ever eating mayo again. I have a mustard, cream based potato salad recipe that would make you foresake mayo based forever and on top of that never get food poisoning. JR’s avocado based crab cakes are the bomb   Mayo is never worth the calories. I hate that some restaurants call flavored mayonnaise an aioli.  It’s not.  There is a reason that midwesteners outlive southerners and it is mayonnaise. 

Those guys from the Picky Eaters show are coming by my place in a couple weeks because I can't help but eat nothing but spoonfuls of mayonnaise for all 3 meals!

Jalen Hurts is 2-0 vs the Saints.  The Eagles as a franchise were 2-7 against the Sean Payton Saints prior to Jalen.  

 

McNabb 1-2.

Garcia 0-1.

Vick 0-1.

Bradford 1-0.

Foles 0-2

Wentz 0-1.

 

Mayonnaise is a ghastly condiment.  One of the reasons I consider A&W (Ache & Wretch) to be near the bottom of the fast food ladder is they like to use mayo on their burgers.  The combination of mayo, salt, and grease makes one hell of a recipe for a headache.

Even as a little kid eating bologna sandwiches I preferred mustard.

I swear, Mailata is like saltwater crocodile big.

I mean WTF is Davenport suppose to do when somebody that big is coming downhill at you?

Dude, just look at Mailata next to Lane.  He looks 1.5X bigger than Lane in that pic, FFS.  He's still learning and perfecting his craft and when he does he's going to be unstoppable.  Throw that in with a nasty and protective streak for his 'mates' and we've got a lottery ticket keeper for years to come.  As Jordan said in that 15 minute video about his journey from the IMG Academy to the NFL, he just didn't come to compete, he's here to dominate. 

He.  Hasn't.  Reached.  His.  Ceiling.  Yet.

I get it for free every year being a season ticket holder. Hmmmm..... maybe its not free then with how much I pay for my season tickets every year. 

 Every year I sign up for my free code but never open it once, lol. 

Maybe I should do a free raffle each year for it on this EMB. :) Make some fun out of it.

I gave some examples.  Maybe demonstrate how that makes a clearer picture how a QB played.  I come from a business that relies on historical data, but I spent decades with the actuarial and data analysts explaining the flaws in some of their suppositions on that data and the same with my staff on how important the data was and how to consistently record it.  We had much more granular data than 40 QBs over 17 games a year provides.   One thing we agreed on was that such subjective data as turnover worthy plays were unreliable in predictive analysis lacking a clear scoring basis for a perspective position lacking details about the play call alone obscuring the conclusion. 

"Since 2006, PFF has tracked a statistic called "turnover-worthy plays,” which include fumbles in the pocket, throws that are interceptable and interceptions. Not all interceptions are turnover-worthy plays (think about a perfect pass that bounces off a receiver’s hands into the arms of a defender), and not all turnover-worthy plays are interceptions (think about the same pass off a defender’s hands).”

You don’t see value in that? You don’t see how that would help paint a more clear picture of a QB’s performance when used in conjunction with other stats?

Of course not all "turnover worthy” plays are equal — a diving interception attempt is not as dangerous as throwing the ball directly to a stationary defender. Regardless, it’s the QB putting the ball in harm’s way, and the stat helps remove some of the luck a QB can have in defenders not completing those plays.

If you want to argue it’s not a perfect stat, so be it. I don’t care. I don’t need it to be proven with a scientific method to find it useful. We’re talking about football, and it’s far better than the lazy response of "all QBs have interceptions dropped.”

Sure, but in the end result for example Kirk Cousins threw a ball right into a defender’s hands, defender didn’t catch the ball, and Cousins moved the offense down the field and won the football game.

The result is all that really matters

I disagree when it comes to analyzing his play. I’m not analyzing the final score.
