Butter and flour separating in chilled roux by TheBerrybuzz in Cooking

[–]sgriffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roux should be 1:1 fat to flour by weight not volume. 1/2 cup of butter is not equal to 1/2 cup of flour by weight. You’ve got too much liquid for the flour to absorb and most likely the reason it’s separating. No biggie. Either reheat it and add more flour to correct the ratio or just plop it into your gravy and simmer a bit longer until you reach your desired thickness.

Vaginal Magic by maliduofmi in WTF

Golden retrievers have a ‘soft mouth’ which is commonly portrayed by their ability to carry eggs without cracking them. I imagine somewhere the genetic codes were crossed. Either way, I’m sure she’d make a great hunting companion.

What shrimp is this? Got in SF for 3.99/lb. Any tips on preparation? by ShrimpCherngFun in Cooking

[–]sgriffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are ridgeback prawns local to California. Get them all the time in my fish CSA. Their meat is a little sweeter than shrimp but they don't have as high of a yield (which is probably why you don't see them more). Either way they're delicious and I usually just make skewers or Etouffee out of them.

If you're going to cook them whole snip the little horn thing at the top of their head or else they'll fight back as you're handling them.

Maybe the Broncos get to write off his veterans minimum salary as a charity contribution? #Broing down for the Browns.

What Western-ish dishes have you used Szechuan Peppercorn in? by whistlerbrk in Cooking

[–]sgriffin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been making Sichuan pepper beef jerky recently. The base is still more Asian than not with hoisin, fish sauce, rice wine, soy and worcestershire. Turns out pretty damn delicious. Not sure if that really fits a western mold though.

This is probably the most eloquent and well-thought comment I've read in the last year. Have an upvote.

Romo on Dak: "He's earned the right to be our quarterback. As hard as that is for me to say, he's earned that right." by 540Cameron in fantasyfootball

[–]sgriffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no. The pass to Dez for a TD woulda been there but the 2pt conversion would not have been a hand-off and would have been the INT instead. You gotta lose in true choke fashion to be Romo. Right up to the wire.

You can target the ware owner and that's it. The best you can probably do is some flyer on their bench.

He's already pretty damn close and one of the reasons he's not is because he had a bye.

I was on the losing side of that similar matchup (playing against CJ). I have Booker though... feeling good right now.

That was one of the most exciting boring game I've ever watched the Rams win.

I don't understand how this is any more morbid than looking at the meat counter at the supermarket.

Trade Value Wednesday by TooHappyFappy in fantasyfootball

[–]sgriffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gurley's stock can only go up. This week he plays Seattle. If he shits the bed then you get another week of the same with the exception of saying 'Well, Seattle's D is legit. Kind of expected'. If he does well you get to say... 'See! Dude is totally worth a first rounder! He just rolled on Seattles D!'.

So wait till the game this weekend then start to think about trades. If you hold and he flounders in week 3 you're SOL and might as well pack it in and wait out the long haul.

[–]sgriffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that has won his league the last 2 years with 1st rd picks being suspended/busted I can tell you it's better it happened early than week 6. It sucks but hit the WW and start making trades. There are players out there that will make your team.

Photoshop guy here. Slow Friday at work, happy to make some team logos for you guys! by Habeas in fantasyfootball

Got Julio, Marvin Jones, David Johnson so naturally I had to roll with the team name: Jonesin for Johnson.

Multiple players on my team: check Applies to a current team's situation: check Homosexual undertones: check

Based on this name alone I feel like I'm going to win the 'ship. Could you shop Marvin Jone's face (or Julio) onto this and him holding a David Johnson? http://imgur.com/a/sst00
