HEY! is the Cowboys fan out there?

I found a free kindle book for you.

Well, it would have to be free, who would pay to read about the cowboys.

Glad to hear you’re ok, sounds bad enough as it was. Now, get back to stirring the pot on the internet!

It appears that Matrix World in Flames may actually see the light of day! [X(] [:D]

I won't be holding my breath, shall we say? My next Matrix purchase will probably be AGEOD's Spanish civil war game.

You really like the prospect of a SCW game, don't you? [:D]
I agree that it's a refreshing change of pace from the usual fare of WWII games. As far as the Germans were concerned, SCW was sort of a "dress rehearsal" for Barbarossa. Interesting theater, if a particularly bitter one.

I don't particularly want a Spanish Civil War game. I just DON'T want any more WWII games.

I was in a five car pileup today on the way to work. Stopped in a line of cars going onto an offramp when the car behind me was rear-ended by some numbskull going 60 into a line of stopped cars. Rattled me around a bit and bounced my shoulder off of the steering column as I was forced into the back of the car in front of me. Airbag deployed? Not. Thanks, Mazda. [8|]

Threw my dog around the inside of the cabin too. Poor guy-at least he's a tough pooch.

My car is totalled, the engine and parts you really need to drive dumped onto the asphalt, the back in staved in but good. It's a write off.

I'm stiff as hell and will feel like someone beat me with a stick in the morning. But I got off relatively lightly. There were only minor injuries in all vehicles involved.

As much as I pride myself on communications and language skills, it cracks me up the one word I had time to scream when everything was blowing up around me: F***![:D]
Boy that really would get your feathers ruffled. Glad you and the pup are fine.
I bet bet Mike will loan you his Porsche until you get a new set of wheels.[:)]

Are the penguin smacking u upside down that badly T? [:D]
Sorry, jokes aside AGEOD hasnt published any WWII games yet, have they? yeah i understand u mean in general, but its been a while since i checked the AGEOD scene so what do i know. All i heard of was a ACW2 game on the way.

Sounds good, Nashvillen. Good luck. [8D]

Did your physician prescribe "no more INPs" as a treatment? Just wondering, as it looks like the "Nashvillen tyranny" has been stuck in second gear for a while now. [;)]

Speaking of cowboys, I got some rib-eye steaks that are literally 2" thick. Figuring out how to cook them, I come across this PioneerWoman recipe that calls them "cowboy chops" and the first batch I ran through came out perfect. This will be batch 2, with some different seasoning. Hootz gazootiez!

John,

For thick meat cuts like this (it works well for lamb and beef), we happened upon a "Cooks Illustrated" technique which works well for us. You get a nice sear / carmelization of fat on the outside without a raw "blue" interior. A nice medium rare.

The trick lies in putting the steaks in a low temperature (~200F) oven with a meat thermometer inserted into the center. Set the alarm for an interior temperature of 90-95F. When it hits that temperature, pull it out of the oven and then to the grill. This starts the cooking at a low ambient temperature and then you can finish up on the grill for the nice outside finish. Works well.

Enjoy!

Yes, that's exactly what Ree Drumond says. Fire up the left side of the grill, put the chops on the right side, i.e., low temp. Cook them there for 20 min, turning twice, and then move over to the hi-heat part for searing, 5 min per side (flipping twice). Sounds a lot like your stuff is pretty darn righteous [;)]

Ciao. JWE

Now, that's a bit unreasonable, no?

I'd barbecue that very high over the fire, with a lot of charcoal, so that it all cooks slowly without burning. Or, if you like raw meat, a quick one over a very hot grill, so you get it half cooked half raw. And you need some decent wine over that... Corton or Pommard, if you cook it a bit (or maybe Hermitage, or St Joseph)... if you serve it half raw, a Haut Medoc (Sociando Mallet if you can find it, but a St Estephe or St Julien will do as well)

Dude! I got a St Estephe that's begging to go with this, and a really nice slim and trim lady to go with this, too. 'Kay, so cut up new potatoes, red and green peppers and a vidalia onion. sprinkle it with tyme, cardomom and a bit of crushed garlic. Tbs of virgin olive oil, wrap it up and put it on the grill. Have a 4 burner grill, so the left 2 are fired up, the right 2 are off. Perfect for direct/indirect heat. Even has a tray for wood chips for nice smokey barbie stuff.

So...you're going the olive oil as fat versus butter as fat route for your potato bake? I'm more a devotee of the latter with its crispy browning action [;)]
