Last week I cooked for some friends. Appetizers were crab cakes and clams casino style. Entree was double bone lamb chops, prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears, and bacon quinoa. Dessert was creme brulee. Lamb chops are considered tricky to cook but they aren't really difficult once you've done it once or twice. The first step is to find a good cut that is frenched. I've only cooked with new Zealand grassfed. I have found that I prefer the smaller cuts to the larger, in my experience they are more tender and less chewy (you could french the larger ones to a higher degree to remove some of the chewyness but that gets tricky). I've done both sauces (basil, rosemary, red wine reduction) and dry rubs on lamb chops but have surprisingly preferred the dry rubs. Cut the chops in sections of 2 bones pieces and sear them on a hot cast iron skillet with olive oil butter and fresh rosemary stalks. You will have to scrape the pan and re-add those ingredients if you are cooking more than 1 rack of lamb as those ingredients will burn over the searing process. Once your done searing the chops throw them in a pan with some garlic cloves and shallots and broil them under high heat, flipping once. Definitely gotta keep an eye on them cuz over cooking these puppies is a waste. I wouldn't go much further than med rare. by the time your done you'll have some of the best lamb chops you've ever had. You could just as easily grill these chops as well.

the wizards get a lot of play on tv down here in Houston. it's kinda suprising actually, but im happy to get to watch them.

Yeah Sherlock Is pretty good. Every episode is super long which I liked. Just started Marco polo. Pleasantly surprised.

Rewatched dark city. Special effects are definitely dated but this movie is awesome regardless.

The prisoners.. Pretty good movie overall but dark. Kinda just a nasty feeling that stays with you afterwards.

Abita turbodog is a very good dark brown ale

no destino it's not available on Netflix. headhunters is a little known pretty awesome flick that is available on Netflix. it is subtitled though, I know that's not for everyone but it doesn't bother me.

alien raiders.. low budget and terrible name. should be bad, right? wrong. this movie is pretty awesome.

I used my gf's phone in Houston for last weeks game. could find every major city but not DC's sportscenter app.

yall got anything?

^Maybe youre just getting tired of the LOTR/Hobbit recipe. Though I did enjoy those movies, I never found them quite as good as others. too much reliance on special effects imo. finally found the movie that gave me nightmares when I was a kid... Phantasm II. not nearly as realistic as I remembered but they are still some good scares, and to be honest, quite a lot to like about the movie. world's different from today's horror/action flick.

Don't care for the 60 or 120 minute dogfish head IPAs. Love the 90 minute. Also dont really know why that is the case.

Fancy, isn't ginger beer usually non alcoholic? my buddy just came back from Maryland and he grabbed some dead rise. Will get to try it out. On the topic of Sculpin IPA. My gf ordered it for me the first time i tried it. Knowing her beer taste i wasn't expecting much. After the first sip i knew this beer was a winner. So many different flavors and excellent balance. This IPA is highly rated with good reason. i prefer lagers/ales, but the sculpin ipa is the best beer on the market. Would love some suggestions to change my mind though.

I said "fatality" aloud in the theater during the final fight scene. The CGI was very good but the characters were rather boring despite all the time that was put into them. 6.5 of 10 but better than pacific rim.

I thought there were some bs fouls at the end of the la Gs game. Basically gave it to the warriors.

Being out of town it is really nice to get to see the wizards play.. And even better that they dominated the bulls. I am really impressed by the teams hustle and the several players that have the potential to be the star each game. the playoffs this year have been really fun to watch.

Houston has great restaurants and craft beers. I'd recommend most of Karbachs beers if you can get youre hands on em. Yesterday I went to the anniversary of a highly rated German restaurant in the Houston area. Beers were on tap and on point and the menu was half off. Started off with a krombaucher dark pilsner. Easy drinking but delicious. Next up was a go to of mine, the spaten optimator. The draft version kills the bottle version imo. Finished with a dunkel of some sort which was pretty good as well. currently sipping on a lone pint jabberwocky double IPA. It's very good and surprisingly fruity but about as bitter as I can stand for ipa's.

I have heard good things about threatening to cancel the subscription as 2k mentioned.

Netflix movies. Hulu plus and Netflix for tv shows. Apple tv as the medium. It works pretty well. basic channels and internet through Comcast for now. It works and a lot cheaper than before. Downsides are you cant depend on it for sporting events so you have to watch them elsewhere. Also im picky on my movies so I quickly exhaust the Netflix queue. But it's worth it for me to not pay $200/month. $40 for NFL game rewind for skins games as im in Texas, though I do find it hard to wait till 11pm on Sunday.

you dont want to watch this game, but the ^ feed is good.

A couple great series that haven't been mentioned yet but are worth watching: Rome, battlestar gallactica. I highly recommend deadwood and firefly. Game of thrones is the best show currently airing imo. The Americans is pretty good as well. Walking dead isn't bad, but it gets boring for episodes at a time.

i kinda lost interest in mma over the last few years, but last night, i decided to watch the whole card. i guess i picked the wrong one.

what is the limit?
