  2. Public Service Announcement: Don't try and grill your short ribs, folks. Just don't.
    The T-bones came out ok, though.

      1. Probably too thick, maybe not totally thawed in the center and in the bone. Didn't allow adequate time relative to thickness, and was having temperature issues due to high wind (maybe). General incompetence.

  3. From today's write up at stat-o-matic 2020 simulation:

    The Twins have been on a tear since their 0-5 start. Since then they are 13-5, including 8 for their last 9 and 5 straight wins. They are averaging 9 runs a game over their last 4, beating Seattle 10-5 today. Ehire Adrianza homered for the first time this year.

    The Twins are now 13-10, in third place and 2.5 behind KC (and only 0.5 behind the Clevelands).

    1. And over at Baseball-Reference, the OOTP simulated season has the Twins at 10-13 and eight games behind the White Sox. Cruz hit two HRs (7 on the year) but Odo takes the 8-2 loss.

  4. Forty years ago today, it was 100 degrees in Fargo, ND. I remember certain parts of that day quite vividly.

    1. Is that an actual week off or is it a week without pay but work should still get done kinda situation?

      2. I have a very strict "If I'm not getting paid my computer isn't even turned on" policy.

        1. Since telecommuting started back in '04, I'm a lot more lax about that. I'll log in and check/clean out emails on off days or after hours. Sometimes if I have mindless stuff I'll fiddle with that while watching TV in the evenings.

  6. So after a lot of sleep, and food staying down, I think I'm back. No chills, no diahrrea. Watched the first episode of Unorthodox - quite good.

    2. Unorthodox was a gripping but ultimately uplifting ride. Glad to hear you’re feeling better, boyo.

  8. From the H'istan Courant: Starting Monday, April 20, at 8 p.m., Connecticut residents will be required to wear face masks in public to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. I have been for several weeks now...

    Who's going to enforce this? The Germ Patrol? "You there, freeze!"

    1. The germ police, they see what's outside my head
      The germ police, they come when I'm out of bed
      The germ police, they're coming to arrest me
      Oh, no.

  9. On the stove tonight, smothered chicken Cajun style. 2 lbs Chicken legs because no whole chicken in the house, 1.5 lbs onions copped fine, a red pepper diced , 4 celery stalks diced, Cajun space, cayenne, salt, garlic, pepper a bit of stock and hot sauce. Marinade chicken in salt, pepper, garlic powder and hot sauce. Brown chicken in a Dutch oven, and then add onions. Simmer for 15 minutes and add peppers and celery and stock to cover though very little water or stock is necessary. Simmer till meat falls off bone, and serve over rice.

    Now to be fair, I had half a bit of andouille and half a link of smoked boudin that I dumped into the pot, but the result was really, really delicious.
