Ike and Tina Turner – Honky Tonk Woman

With it being an election year it is always important to give equal time to each party. After playing several bands covering the Beatles, it is only fair to play some groups covering the Stones.

I love crispy pork Banh Mi, and you should too.

Banh Mi Bo NuongI was busy at the smoker* yesterday preparing a couple of soy ginger marinaded pork tenderloins for spring rolls when a friend called us up for dinner. We invited her over without hesitation, but later remembered that she's pretty into Catholicism. Dr. Chop ran to the store to pick up some tofu and saved dinner for our pal.

I was left with two smoked tenderloins and a craving for some Vietnamese sandwich action. Lucky for me, teh Google was there to provide a little help. Continue reading I love crispy pork Banh Mi, and you should too.

Wolves @ Portland 9pm

The Wolves have been living out of their suitcase since the All Star Break, 4th game in 5 days. After this the Wolves return home for a week then go on a grueling 7 game roadie. I'm not saying this is a must win, but man it would be super sweet (my prediction coming out of the break is that the Wolves would go 2-2).

Portland has a few 'whoa, those guys are playing' on the roster: Kurt Thomas (not playing tonight), Marcus Camby, Gerald Wallace.
