  1. Making very good home-made beef 'n weck is quite easy. Rump roast is best for the beef source. Larger cuts used to be named "steamship round". Never use an eye cut - no fat. Never use a rib cut - too much fat. Scrape off the meat, then lightly dust with marjoram and onion powder. Apply a small amount of kosher salt - not much at all..a pinch per surface,or less. Bake at 325 F for a temp of 130 or less (use that thermometer probe!). Reserve juices if you can, save them and add them to the au Jus mix. Let the beef cool completely under a foil tent, then into the icebox in a container. Slice thin when cold. When ready to serve, have one of those $1.25 powder envelopes of au Jus prepared on the stove, per package directions. Add any reserved juice to that.
  2. Ice balls falling here, now, in northernmost Hamilton County, OH. Not sleet - 2 - 3 mm , quite round little balls with dimples like we all know what. Unusual, but I've seen it before. The temp has been bouncing about all day. The OH river as well as the hilly terrain seems to cause such anomalies. My wife just left work, and I have put down sand on the drive, steps and walk. I used to put down coal cinders, but that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..
  3. I also have in stock: 30 double roll paper towels 4 facial tissue boxes 3 75 ft. Al foil rolls 2 wax paper rolls 2 saran wrap rolls 5 boxes of poly sandwich bags 3 gallon boxes of freezer bags 2 boxes of qt. freezer bags 4 packs of paper napkins 4 cans of Drano 4 gallons of enzyme drain cleaner 6 boxes of dishwasher powder 7 gallons of laundry detergent 4 boxes of plastic utensils 18 bars of hand soap. Reasons for this: 1) Armageddon/the coming hyperinflation. 2) Items bought on sale - with coupons - for food bank donations. 3) Some personal feelings. The State took our family farm and threw my family over into hunger and poverty via their overarching power of emminent domain. One never forgets. My food stores are considerable. Same rationale. So - when it all hits the fan, folks can knock on my door and get welcomed in, and can eat, pack sandwiches, and wipe off their fannies to their heart's content...
  4. Does it come with fries and malt vinegar?
  5. Good News for Modern Man!
  6. Hmmm...I think I'll go down to my basement and see how the inventory stands... ...43 double rolls. Which may seem a lot, but as a song once said, "The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Let it roll, baby, roll ..." Boo!
  7. Don't rain on the 3-4 parade. Williams in pass coverage, chugging downfield with a TE or a WR? His shorty arms batting down a pass? Lateral movement sealing off the edge run plays?
  8. In-spec blood lipid values?
  9. 6 and 10 remains...6 and 10... 5-11 without IND's lay down...
  10. The Northeast States have been reporting large reductions in tax revenue, recently. Billions. Their legislators and their Governors, for populist reasons, raised taxation and many of the big money, high tax-paying crowd left town... They will blame it on the overall economic downturn...of course. http://jmm.aaa.net.au/articles/13052.htm
  11. Good plan - gives you a fighting chance against Prius' over-arching (by necessity, in that vehicle's case) system. Not for Toyotas' Prius rationale, but there are several builds that restrict a total disablement of TCS/Stability (ESC) systems. The basis is in fear of litigation. IIRC, 2012 marks the US mandate for across-the-board ESC. Bon apetite!
  12. A couple of years ago, Consumer Reports admitted that they hadn't tested Toyota models for a number of years, and gave them good reviews on "faith." In the '80's, they slammed the US - manufactured Golf for having an illogical dashboard assembly - despite the fact that it was identical to German and Belgian - manufactured Golfs. The US plant installed part was sourced and shipped to the US from W. Germany - it was what is known in the business as a CKD part (old British nomenclature after WWII - 'completely knocked down'). That nomenclature still exists - everybody in the auto mfg. biz knows what it means. When the Jetta was built in the US, CR complained that the rear seat cushions were hard and unyielding, "unlike" the European production models. Fact is, the cushions were produced by a US supplier, and the (exact same) product was shipped to the European assembly plants.
  13. The rules today are so biased towards the pass game. A lower round draftee TE or WR better show me something soon - I'll give 'em a year for injury and another camp. But that's it. Potential means zip. There are always fresh speed, hands, size in the next draft. I'm not going to get into the biz of developing receivers at cost of my roster spots.
  14. I'm still glad Buddy smacked Gilbride for putting his players at risk... Buddy Ryan: Life of joy and sorrow Byline: Paul Daugherty, Cincinnati Enquirer, January 21, 2010: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2010012...-joy-and-sorrow
  15. Such is show business...and the NFL is definetly show biz.
  16. What Toyota plant is a UAW plant other than the now-defunct NUMMI (which was a decades-old joint venture with GM)? I guess it would be a shock for folks to know that those oh-so reliable Corollas they have been buying for years were made in a UAW plant. My, you do pick and choose... You seem to have a lot to say about the dynamics of the auto biz. OK - tell us why Toyota's Van Nuys plant came into existence in the '80s...
  17. More stuff... http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/02/news/compa.../toyota_recall/ Also, if you are looking at purchasing other new vehicles, other than that slim GM 1K offer for Toyo trade-ins, competing manufacturers are souring or eliminating incentives this month. They smell blood in the water... Thank you, Toyota!

  19. I hope it will not be Victory Tour for Manning Like Bettis, 06.
  20. Sounds like you have expertise along those lines, since for reasons we here will never know, such comes to your mind....
  21. Probably anti-fungal compounds... an almost inevitable result of zapping those bacteria bugs with antibiotics, is that the natural fungi get a nice field to play in. Cepacol is a good idea - it's a mild benzocaine prep that soothes.
  22. Spread, College style. The rules say so. 4-3. I don't know what "read and react" means...
