    First off Happy Super Bowl Sunday...I got my money on Greenbay...not that I'm a fan but I expect them to win.

    Now as for the allstar game this one will be a classic case of do as I say and not as I do....as I will be in attendance at the main event and partying early. Nonetheless I urge you all to send a statement to the league that you won't tolerate this mess. Duncan will hurt the West chances if winning...

    Now I expect the village idiot (BR) to lead the crusade in this effort.

    PS: I will include a fun fact section about Kool in some of my posts every so often so be on the lookout..

    Today's fun fact: One of Koolaid's favorite love songs of all-time:

    I assume you meant to say of instead of if.

    Not to worry. Duncan will only play cameo minutes like he does every year.

    Winning has it's advantages:


    ..................min/game......FG%.....Reb......Asst.....Blocks....PPG
    Duncan........29...............48..........9.3.... ..3.0.......1.9........13.5
    Garnett........31...............53..........8.8... ...2.3.......0.8........15.0

    Where are the tears about Garnett? The real travesty is that Parker got left off for Westbrook who shoots 42% from the field and has more turnovers than a pastry chef.

    Apple pie


    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Jump to: navigation, search

    This article is about the food. For other uses, see Apple pie (disambiguation).

    Apple pie with lattice upper crust



    Tarte Tatin, a French variation on apple pie


    An apple pie is a fruit pie (or tart) in which the principal filling ingredient is apples. It is sometimes served with whipped cream or ice cream on top. Pastry is generally used top-and-bottom, making it a double-crust pie, the upper crust of which may be a disk shaped crust or a pastry lattice woven of strips; exceptions are deep-dish apple pie with a top crust only, and open-face Tarte Tatin.

    Ingredients

    Cooking apples (culinary apples, colloquially cookers), such as the Bramley or Granny Smith, are crisp and acidic. The fruit for the pie can be fresh, canned, or recons uted from dried apples. This affects the final texture, and the length of cooking time required; whether it has an effect on the flavour of the pie is a matter of opinion. Dried or preserved apples were originally subs uted only at times when fresh fruit was unavailable.
    The English pudding


    "For to Make Tartys in Applis", 18th century print of a 14th century recipe


    English apple pie recipes go back to the time of Chaucer. The 1381 recipe (see illustration at right) lists the ingredients as good apples, good es, figs, raisins and pears. The cofyn of the recipe is a casing of pastry. Saffron is used for colouring the pie filling.
    In English speaking countries, apple pie is a dessert of enduring popularity, eaten hot or cold, on its own or with ice cream, double cream, or cus .
    Absence of sugar in early English recipe

    Most modern recipes for apple pie require an ounce or two of sugar, but the earliest recipe does not. There are two possible reasons.
    Sugarcane imported from Egypt was not widely available in 14th century England, where it cost between one and two shillings per pound — this is roughly the equivalent of US$100 per kg (about US$50 per pound) in today's prices.[1]
    The absence of sugar in the recipe may instead indicate that, because refined sugar was a recent introduction from the Orient, the medieval English did not have quite as sweet a tooth as their descendants. Honey, which was many times cheaper, is also absent from the recipe, and the "good es" and saffron, all imported, were no less expensive and difficult to obtain than refined sugar. Despite the expense, refined sugar did appear much more often in published recipes of the time than honey, suggesting that it was not considered prohibitively expensive. With the exception of apples and pears, all the ingredients in the filling probably had to be imported. And perhaps, as in some modern "sugar-free" recipes, the juice of the pears was intended to sweeten the pie.
    Dutch style


    A home-baked Dutch apple pie



    Dutch apple pie in Chiang Mai, Thailand, showing the filling


    Dutch apple pie (appeltaart or appelgebak) recipes are distinct in that they typically call for flavourings such as cinnamon and lemon juice to be added. Dutch apple pies are usually decorated in a lattice style. Dutch apple pies may include ingredients such as raisins and icing, in addition to ingredients such as apples and sugar, which they have in common with other recipes.[citation needed]
    Recipes for Dutch apple pie go back centuries. There exists a painting from the Dutch Golden Age, dated 1626, featuring such a pie.
    The basis of Dutch apple pie is a crust on the bottom and around the edges. This is then filled with pieces or slices of apple, usually a crisp and mildly tart variety such as Goudreinet or Elstar. Cinnamon and sugar are generally mixed in with the apple filling. The filling can be sprinkled with liqueur for taste although this is very uncommon. Atop the filling, strands of dough cover the pie in a lattice, holding the filling in place but keeping it visible. Though it can be eaten cold, warmed is more common, with a dash of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. In the Netherlands it is usually eaten cold, sometimes with whipped cream on top.
    Swedish style

    The Swedish style apple pie differs from the English and Dutch style, in that it uses no pastry and hence has no crust. Simply, the apples are sliced and placed in the baking dish, the lightly- ed dough is mixed and then poured over the apples, and the whole lot placed in a pre-heated oven, making for quick and simple preparation and cooking. The resultant pie is akin to a hot cake, where by the apples are held in suspension and softened by the dough.
    Apple pie in American culture


    An apple pie is one of a number of United States cultural icons.


    In the English colonies the apple pie had to wait for carefully planted pips, brought in barrels across the Atlantic, to become fruit-bearing apple trees, to be selected for their cooking qualities. In the meantime, the colonists were more likely to make their pies, or "pasties", of meat rather than of fruit; and the main use for apples, once they were available, was in cider. But there are American apple-pie recipes, both manuscript and printed, from the eighteenth century, and it has since become a very popular dessert.
    A mock apple pie made from crackers was apparently invented by pioneers on the move during the nineteenth century who were bereft of apples. In the 1930s, and for many years afterwards, Ritz Crackers promoted a recipe for mock apple pie using its product, along with sugar and various es.
    Although apple pies have been eaten since long before the European colonization of the Americas, "as American as apple pie" is a saying in the United States, meaning "typically American".[2] The dish was also commemorated in the phrase "for Mom and apple pie" - supposedly the stock answer of American soldiers in World War II, whenever journalists asked why they were going to war.[3]
    Advertisers exploited the patriotic connection in the 1970s with the commercial jingle "baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet". There are claims that the Apple Marketing Board of New York State used such slogans as "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" and "as American as apple pie!", and thus "was able to successfully 'rehabilitate' the apple as a popular comestible" in the early twentieth century when prohibition outlawed the production of cider.
    The unincorporated community of Pie Town, New Mexico is named in honor of the apple pie.

    You have the wrong man. Duncan tried to help you by missing the jump shot. You should really go after McDyess. Let it go Louie, yesterday's gone.

    You got my vote. No way I'm going to watch that snorefest. The simple fact that Jim Duncan was gifted a spot over much more deserving players leads me to believe that Stern did this on purpose to force a lockout. If he can somehow lower the ratings of the all-star game, then it will justify his claim that the NBA is losing money. What better way to do so than adding the one player that delivers the worst ratings in the history of sports to the team. I'm on board.
    Stern didn't pick Duncan, Short Bus, the coaches did. Love was the injury replacement picked by the league for Yao.

    well you got one of my degrees right because someone outright asked me in an earlier thread, but it's not what im doing with my career. i still had to take cal 1&2, stats, macro/micro, four semesters of a foreign language, insurance ( ing blew), etc, so dont get your panties in a wad about it being a loser degree. i take courses within the school of public affairs, architecture and the business school. i really like it anyhow. i build scaled models of cities and additions, and this semester i have to live with homeless people on the streets for a couple of weekends and do ent my fieldwork. to earn my degree, i still need a semester long paid internship provided by the school as well as a "major" senior project/thesis. i have no idea what im going to do yet for my project/thesis, so maybe you can help me out with some ideas.

    yes, part of my degree is studying homeless drug addicts, especially heroin users, so i think i can tell when someone is a dopefiend. my brother isnt one.

    im also being published this semester by doing a site analysis of the River Walk and how pedestrian traffic flows throughout it - with a particular emphasis on the newer additions. my research is being forwarded to grad schools like princeton.

    i chose my degree because i already have my real estate license, and ive been offered several opportunites by UT alumni to work in commercial development - one area being in dallas around SMU. ive also been offered to work in industrial distribution in plano.

    my other major is archaeological anthropology, and this summer im going on an archaeological dig with UT in portugal to exhume a roman fortification that was constructed over an iberian village. then im linking up with some friends and backpacking europe.

    tbh, i dont know what im doing yet after school, but i have four or five options. once i figure out where im going for grad school (probably for my phd), ill be more than happy to let yall know.

    my top option is nautical archaeology (scuba dive and discover/maintain shipwrecks, ports and cities) since i already have field experience, and i already work with GIS systems. im also about to start on my pilot's license, so i can do aerial surveillance. ill live and work in places like the caribbean, asia minor and europe.

    right now im dating an architecture major who won the award for top student in her design class (meaning grade level) last semester and will probably win it again this semester. UT has one of the top architecture programs in the nation, so that's a pretty big deal. she wants to travel with me around the world, but we're still young, so im not making any big plans with that just yet.

    so good luck with your CPA. i was offered to join the MPA program at UT when i was an economics major, but i figured it just wasnt for me. if you find it interesting and youll have fun going to work then more power to you. yeah tonight i had a good time on 6th street, so im having no problem explaining what im doing in school, and why im busting my ass so hard. cheers.
    R-E-S-P-E-C-T

    So a "friend" of mine owes me money. He came over to my house the other day and soliticted my help. He said there was 10 bucks in it for me if I did 3 loads of laundry and washed all his dishes. I did it as fast as I could, about 2 hours after he asked, it was done. He was running out of tobacco, so I gave him the rest of my tobacco because he's a heavier smoker than I am. A little short on cash around this time of the month, he promised me that he'd have the money to me the next day. This was on Sunday. So, theoretically, by Monday I should have the money.

    He says that he didn't get his check on Monday. Okay, I said, and I left it at that. I ask him again today, he says he has his check is here but he needs to get to the bank. Okay, I said, again. Tonight I go over to his apartment and he procedes to tell me that he spent my 10 dollars on something "we (his other friends) got some stuff and he didn't have the 10 dollars to pay me back." So he promises me the ten dollars on Wednesday. I have a busy day tomorrow so I won't find out until 4PM tomorrow if he's lying to me. He tells me to get a job because I don't make enough money. Well, if he'd pay me...

    I've given a lot to this guy. He got meals at my apartment at least twice a week for six months last year. He didn't have cable so I let him watch whatever he wanted to watch, let him stay in my apartment from 6AM to 10PM every night and he was the one who left. When I went away on trips, he sometimes would have a key to let himself in. I subsequently found my VCR broken (brand-new). I even financed a tattoo about a year ago and it took him 8 months to get me 70 dollars for it. I even paid for the cream to keep it from becoming infected.

    I want this "friend" out of my life. He's a user and he's found that the milk has gone sour on me so he's keeping other people a priority now that I don't have the cash to support his many habits. Because I don't get pissed and angry and curse in his face, he thinks I'm a pushoever. Some "friend."

    Has this ever happened to anyone else? Do you do this to other people?

    Wait, are you saying that all this wasn't about getting attention?

    Yet you are now literally reveling in the fact that people are still talking about your s "more than a year later"?

    How could those two facts possibly be reconciled? I understand you're saying you wanted to see people's reactions, but seeing how people react is completely different from seeing how much they react. The former is a calculated plan to with the people; the latter is an attempt to get attention.

    Of course you couldn't post any more pics after that one because earlier in the thread you had been ridiculing other attention female posters for doing the same and it would have come off as intensely hypocritical. But it's implausible that you would have responded to ALVAREZ's comment by posting a picture of your ties in some diabolical scheme to mess with everyone's heads.

    It's far more likely that all the people had been saying about you being an ugly middle aged fat balding man finally got to you, and you did the one thing that would throw everyone's certainty about your ugliness into doubt while still leaving available the excuse "I was just doing that to with you" so you could continue to delude yourself into thinking you aren't attention .

    Maybe you don't realize it, but your refusal to post any pics that confirm that those are your ties just fans the flames. People are still left with the mystery, they feel like they need to know. Some people have dealt with that by repeatedly asking for proof (mavs>spurs), by convincing themselves that you're an ugly old man ( oli), or by secretly masturbating to that pic while praying to Ganesh that you'll post more (fillmoe). None of this is really a mind , more of an attention-grab. But when you say "I would have been happy to let the whole thread get lost in the archives," you're obviously lying to yourself and to us, because the sure way to get this whole thing over with and forgotten is to post the confirmation, solve the mystery, and let everyone lose interest.

    There's some other reason why you haven't posted confirmation, and it's not because you just want "to let the whole thread get lost in the archives."
