Toonie Tuesday at KFC you mean?

Oh me too, but he said fried chicken and mac salad

That has toonie tuesday written all over it.

But yes, I am a huge BK whopper fan. The char-broiled flavor is a bit polarizing, but I'm firmly in the "Love it, Thanks" camp on that one

I'm glad you're asking yourself these questions, because nobody else will.

Well it's nice to see himself get some variety out of the usual questions he gets from people:

"Are you serious?"
"Are you trolling me?"
"When did they let you out of the institute?"

These are getting old I'm sure.

I would kill for some KFC right about now... but all I have is lasagna...

on another note, breading a piece of lasagna and deep frying it would be delicious.

I guess if you will eat KFC, You will try anything...

The Whopper is good. I got a little sick of them because I went through a heavy Whopper Wednesday phase and ate several redacted Whoppers, but they are solid.

I've been investigating A and W lately. It's acceptable. I'm still a Five Guys and McDonald's guy at heart though.

There's a small pizzeria next to where I live...

They make a Pizza-ghetti....

But it's not Spaghetti next to a pizza....

It's spaghetti with bolognaise sauce INSIDE the pizza.

It's insanely good.

Amazing.

I was on a ketogenic diet for 4 months, and so I'm taking a sabbatical for about a week before I go back on. Stuffing my gullet with all the stuff I craved hard during the last 4 months.

Last night I crushed an entire bag of Sweet Chili Heat Doritos. Those (frank)ers had it coming

I stumbled on a brilliant fried chicken recipe that I invented and I think I need to make it again. The secret is to make a rich egg wash, with an egg, coffee cream, a tablespoon of creamy dressing, and a tablespoon of hot pepper pickle brine, and then bread it with panko.

using chicken legs only, deep fry until golden brown and it honestly turns out as the most perfect fried chicken I've ever had.

Random, but sounds damn delicious

The best thing I have ever eaten in my life is Shawarma Poutine to shut down a night of heavy drinking. There's a hole in the wall right by Hess Village that serves it. 6 bucks for a huge serving and its the best poop ever

Standard pizzaghetti is a small alldressed pizza cut in half with a serving of spaghetti in the middle, but I'd love to try the spaghetti inside the pizza

Yeah that sounds good right there. I like to throw hot sauce in the egg until it's bright reddish orange, which would be a similar element to the hot pickle brine. Never thought of using panko though, I like that idea.

Don't forget to dredge the legs in flour before the eggwash, not sure if it's obvious but totally key

As long as there's something vinegary in there to denature the egg

[quote=Thecakeisalie]Yeah, that was the biggest weakness of the article. The whole "if you keep him until he walks, you don't get nothing, you get JVR until his contract ends" argument is never one I thought highly of.
Letting him walk for nothing is still poop even if he plays great up until that point.

I suppose it is possible they could resign him. Maybe he'll actually sign a value contract to stay on a team that could be a contender soon?

Where you listening to Babcock and this blog about expectations


Were you aware I'm discussing what might happen in 1 and 1/2 years when JVR's current contract is up, rather than right now? Or that I said a team that could be a contender soon? As in, not yet, but maybe in the future?
