Local boy Brett Graves earned his first career save in the 10-inning Marlins win last night.
Not to step on any toes, but I'll probably be posting an FKB post today.
An announcement?
Gawd No! More of a generations thing in reference to the young whippersnapper doing a FKB.
ManU soiling themselves to a inferior team is always welcome....dang spoke too soon.
the tweeters machine exploded this morning: Erv to the DL, Booze up, Grossman up, Field optioned, Gonsalves going to start tomorrow (I assume a corresponding move to come)
I've been much more excited about Gonsalves than Stewart eventually hitting the bigs
Speaking for the administration, Giuliani says "truth isn't truth". Sounds like a great campaign slogan for someone, someday. Geez.
well, he doesn't speak "for the Administration," for what that's worth. He's a personal lawyer for Trump.
Yes, I stand corrected.
I think it would be more fun if the MLB Little League Classic was played on an actual little league field.
Wish I'd been paying closer attention -- I think Atteberry said Cave is the third twins player with a 4-letter last name to hit a HR into CATCH? Or was it the last three Twins position players with a 4-letter last name have hit a HR into CATCH?
What is "CATCH"?
dinner tonight: another Vietnamese-inspire salad.
Rice vermicelli, soaked in boiling water to soften, then drained and chilled.
chopped lettuce
various veg cut into matchsticks or slightly larger sticks (I had red pepper, cucumber, carrot, pickled carrot (I quick-pickled these earlier today in boiling-hot vinegar with salt and sugar and pickling spices added), steamed and chilled green beans, jalapeno) nuoc cham (I only used a couple tablespoons of water -- instead going heavy on lime and lemon juices and fish sauce, plus some palm sugar vinegar, but seriously, this will change your life it is so good)
crushed peanuts, julienned basil/thai basil/mint and some cilantro if you can get away with it
leftover grilled pork chop, cut into very thin slices against the grain (or freshly grilled shrimp, or whatever you like)
Use a deep bowl for each salad. Assemble: lettuce, then rice noodles, then veg (I do clumps of each around the bowl, then protein, then garnish. Pour over nuoc cham to taste (maybe a quarter cup per serving).
oh, mama.
We've been doing something similar, though the protein has been medium rare lemongrass flank steak bits. Fried shallot on top ... makes for a really satisfying dinner when it's a million degrees outside.
Damn. I am usually too lazy and cheap to get and pound lemon grass. But yum.

Also, crispy shallots are the bomb.
with references to a close personal friend, as Batgirl would say.
Most important artistic correction in history right here.
Would agree, except that Robocop was actually set in Detroit.
