Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Sunday Night Open Thread

There are no stated rules tonight, but if you get banned, you deserve it. Or I'm belligerent, and we'll clear it up in the morning. Or, the afternoon. Sometime tomorrow..probably. Luckily, my wife is a nurse.

The point is: have fun. It'll get rowdy. Be a Seahawks fan and know that makes us genetically superior to those around us. My personal scietician assures it.

Good

Better than standard Black Butte but maybe not worth the $11 price tag. The cashier was telling me, though, that people re-sell them on the interwebs for $50 a 22.

But its hard to improve dramatically on Black Butte or Obsidian.

Deschutes is a wonderful brewery, but almost everything they do can be improved. They cut some corners to get to price, that is why it’s amazing their beers are tasty as they are.

We showed up at the brewery unannounced at 9am on a Saturday with our backpacks on. The two brewers that were there (a couple of beardy guys drinking beers) gave us a personal tour, free tastings and a sixer to take with us (without a carding). It was pretty cool.

I think that their lighter beers are actually some of their best.

Twilight is my favorite of their non-seasonals. And Obsidian is great at a dive bar or Safeco, but yeah, not going to pick up a sixer of that if I’m at a beer store.

and hoping players I’m up against to fail miserably even though I might like them. And then there’s the whole internal conflict thingy when they play the Seahawks.

I tried one year, did ok, lost interest. whatever. I think I probably just hate people talking about their fantasy teams and their players that they wouldn’t care about other then that they’re on their team. Anyway, that’s my rant of the year, I will go back into ignore mode since I don’t want to rain on anybodys fantasy parade. If it’s fun for you, knock yourself out, it’s harmless.

In my current state, I've decided the Broncos winning some games isn't the worst thing ever.

A pick in the late teens will be much more cost-effective and should still produce a solid player.

That trade was a no lose situation for us

Denver could go to the Super Bowl and we’d still be ok with the trade.

What? 5 picks up

and you have to wait a whole year? Seems not so great to me unless you think last year’s draft was unusually weak, and this year’s is stronger.

Sure

We still got a good player in the second round. I do believe this draft should be stronger.

Yeah, I brought him a toy when I visited him because my dogs never played with it.

Cost me $22. He destroyed it in less than 12 hours. It was a squirrel with 16 squeeky things in it, and he ripped them all out then ripped the squirrel’s head off.

Huskies are pretty awesome dogs. I've had them all my life.

The nicest things is that they are friendly to all people and the vast majority of dogs. But if another dog attacks them, they can handle the situation with dispatch,

They are also ridiculously athletic. When I’m at full speed(I’m pretty fast), my husky can still zoom by me effortlessly.

gluten is a protein

I was wondering how you recreate the properties that gluten provides.

I think you could get away with a lot more

in a thin pizza crust than you could in a loaf of bread. You’re not going to miss the stretchy texture as much and can replace is with more of a smaller crumb.

I just meant that the dimensions are smaller

in pizza crust than a loaf of bread. You can better mimic the chewiness of gluten in the pizza than a loaf.

Even in a thin crust pizza, you need some level of rising.

That’s what separates cracker from bread. Gluten is key in providing the resilient matrix in which the CO2 from yeast can add volume.

muffins rise

eggs (and probably tapioca) can do the job.
