Kinda. Just like the easy way out though. It's what I prefer because of the style I learned to cook with and what my taste buds have learned to identify as "good." But I'm kinda sacrilegious I guess because when I have BBQ somewhere other than Texas, I want it their way. Kansas style, Memphis style, whatever. When I go north I want New England clam chowder or whatever they specialize in for that area. Some people only like their seafood Cajun fried and their BBQ done the Texas way anywhere. I do when I'm here because that's the best way to do it here in the climate we have and the resources locally available.
Back in 2003, I flew to Toronto, and went to the Toronto Rocks show. They were dealing with the major drop off in tourism because of the double whammy of the SARS outbreaks and the mad cow disease trouble. So the big concert (AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Rush, The Guess Who, and dozens of others (even Justin Timberlake, but I digress)) was put on to promote awareness that the SARS issue was no longer an issue, and to support the beef industry. They had dozens of vendors set up at Downsview Park cooking meat. I had a monster plate of brisket for like $5, and it was the best I've had. It was awesome. Now, THAT should be a T-shirt.
The biggest issue I have, when people call a grill a BBQ. Barbecue is a style, a grill is a device, never mix them up. You don't put a steak on a barbecue.
It might not be the best way, but: You can absolutely smoke a steak. Smoked burgers are pretty tasty as well.
I'll never forget the time this loud mouthed yankee came over to a BBQ some friends were having. He sat down and exclaimed for all to hear "In South Carolina when they talk BBQ they're not talking hot dogs and burgers" in an attempt to fit in/impress/suck up. If looks could kill he would have died on the spot.
So that's what we're gonna do today, we're gonna fight? Sauce is meant to compliment or enhance the flavor of the meat you're making. For example, I make a habanero and coffee based sauce that has a fair bit of heat behind it, but I wouldn't want my brisket to be fully cooked with that flavor as it can be overpowering to some. At the same time, I'd just as gladly eat the brisket by itself with no sauce, but that doesn't mean you can't enhance the flavor profile by adding a sauce that gives it a bit of a different profile, or contrasting tastes or textures.
So, my husband tried to get tickets to see The Tragically Hip play their last show (the lead singer has terminal brain cancer) this summer. Fucking StubHub went and sniped all the pre-sale tickets and are selling them at INSANE prices. Centre floor seats for $1000?! Jesus Christ. Those tickets are <$200 off Ticketmaster. FUCK StubHub.
That was the best-planned concert I've ever been to. Half a million people yet Everyone had their own "space" on a sea of beach blankets. Timberlake had to dodge a LOT of water bottles, though.
I was about to make a comment about Canadians being musically ignorant, but that was before FutureSex LoveSounds, so they could be forgiven for the NSync assumptions. Though some of those Justified tracks were JAMS.
My cousin's wife's father was the main organizer of that... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Mills My cousin's wedding was kind of a major event, as he called in all sorts of favours from his suppliers... it was held at his "cottage" in the Muskokas just outside of Toronto. The backdrop was a very cool cliff face that was nicely lit up... and it turns out he had a team of guys work for almost 6 months pressure washing it to get it ready for the wedding. The wedding photographer was a National Geographic photographer best known for his pictures of climbing Everest. He had some killer stories. It was a hell of a couple of days of a party, to say the least.
Just helped my neighbor move a 200 pound impact door. So I took a Soma muscle relaxer. I am fuuuuucked up. And my back hurts just as bad as it did before. Not even a good fucked up, just head spins. People get addicted to this feeling? That's dumb. Everyone is dumb. The only cure for back pain is to have a burly, strong handed man grind your tender crevices into submission while his friends watch and laugh while he does this to you on top of a pinball machine.
My flexiril makes me drowsy so I just take it before bed if I need it for my back. Kind of a whine buzz without the warm feeling as far as head changes go. It's non narcotic so my dr gives me 90 at a time, 3 a day for a month. I've had bottles last over a year and a half. I'd be a useless zombie taking 3 a day.
Flexeril is brutal. If I take one I'm a complete zombie for the whole day. External stimuli take a good 2-3 seconds to actually register and I could sit there and watch TV for hours and not recall a single thing I just saw.
So.....another teacher having sex with a student. This one got knocked up by a 13 year old. Spoiler http://fox2now.com/2016/06/01/texas-teacher-impregnated-by-student-13-turns-self-in/
Been in jail for minutes now. Hasn't she suffered enough? They should be arresting the sexy child for seducing her like that. Fucking miserable little beast.
Obviously the shooting was a hoax, UCLA is a gun-free zone. Nice try, media. By all means, keep being a has-been. Jesus Fuck, could you be more self-centred while accomplishing nothing at the same time? I wonder how long before Team Outrage starts blaming the shooting on Milo's visit (which had a bomb threat called into it). The shooter looks exactly like AIDSskrillex.
If I had a 13 y/o boy and he was banging a girl who is that hot and a teacher, there is no way I couldn't beam with pride. I'd be the worst parent.
