Agreed, I've got a version my brother in law made that's pretty spicy, so I put it on eggs and in some kinds of tacos.

The Cotswolds
We had a corporate retreat/summit in the Cotswolds twice while I was with a Dutch company. One was at a more generic hotel and conference center, but the other was outside of Witney at the Old Swan & Minster Mill. Highly recommend it if you have a chance. It felt so olde English that they offered hot water bottles and turndown service at the inn to keep warm at night. Semi-related, I miss having an English manager I'd see 3-4 times a year who would invariably spend one night per trip getting so drunk that I got in trouble by association.

OU Recruiting 2023: Blowing and Going
I'd say it's a huge win for a city that, up until 30 years ago, was really nothing more than an Air Force base crossed with a thousand truck stops.

Dragon Age
2 was conceptually great, and the story rules. They had to turn it around too quickly and got stuck re-using the same environments for a lot of the segments, which people found annoying. They also chose to make combat more difficult and less immersive with randomly appearing waves of enemies. Inquisition scratched the itch of castle/realm upgrades and story choice missions, and I'm a sucker for that type of progression.

Pittsburgh Recs
Primanti Bros. wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe if you get it without the slaw? Cold salad on top of hot fries just means cold, mushy fries. Burgatory is a chain that was reliable for me if I needed something good but not fancy. Warhol museum was fun. You won't get to see a Penguins game, and I haven't been for a Pirates game, but I'd imagine it's great. Try to get up on the south side of the river at the top of the hill for an amazing view.

Legit kitchen appliances & accessories
I'm a big fan of buying relatively cheap for non-stick and relatively pricy for stainless/clad stuff. Nonstick coating tends to wear faster and is unrecoverable once it starts to go. If I (or my daughter) burns something onto my stainless stuff, a good shot of barkeeper's friend usually cleans it right up.

2022 Texas Softball - Locked and Loaded
Gasso has also been relatively open about how her attitude and approach were keeping the team from achieving between that first and second win. Somewhat remarkable for a professional coach at any level to be able to diagnose and correct that. Ego problems tend to stop people from fixing ego problems.

That's right, it's not really close to anything, and all I can really speak to is the ribs. They seem proud of their barbecue spaghetti, but I've never wanted to try it. Rendezvous was dry and underwhelming the times I've tried it. Great ambiance and a fun story, so if you're traveling with a group and they want a sense of the history, I think there's a place for that.

I'm a big BarBQ Shop supporter. I prefer spare ribs to baby backs and I believe Central does baby backs exclusively? They benefit from being close to everything, and right around the corner from the Lorraine Hotel and a few blocks from the best place in Memphis, the Cheesecake Corner.

I saw it Friday and it sounds terrible to say, given the subject matter, but I really enjoyed it.

I'm getting this for when I wrap up my Farcry backlog. Thanks for the heads-up. I just hope I can adjust to losing soldiers, as XCOM made me overly cautious.- Your Favorite Song

They (I only separate myself from them because I don't love the tone of the new program) are absolutely eating it up. Though, there have been some rumblings about when the recruits who love what BV is building are going to, you know, actually commit...- OU Recruiting 2023: Blowing and Going
It sure seems like an antiquated position to take, given the huge swing towards player agency we've seen in the last couple of years. It's great to find players who are incredibly bought in and loyal, but is it reasonable to hope that that same group of players is the best possible assembly of talent you could have? When it works, it's unbeatable, but that's a lot of eggs in one big, Jesus-scented basket.- What are you listening to right now?

I hope that's not true, damn. I know the staff likes what they're getting out of some of the other young guys quite a bit, but if they can't find a way to get Smith motivated and involved, that's a failure in my eyes. Maybe it's just personalities not meshing and what can you do with a new staff, but he's got tons of potential.- Top Gun 2
