Depends on the size, how you have them processed, and how much of the backstrap you raid before it even gets to the processor.

Since whitetail are small and backstrap is delicious, yeah.

To hell with the turtles!

Color me shocked. I worked for an upstream oil company that did the same thing because they knew there would be lawsuits (there always are). They also know that in discovery they're searching for certain key words and can guess what a lot of them are.

She's amazing. It was easy to believe she was a moron because she's hot and a great actor.

Wisconsin gets fucking serious about their German sausages. There's a joint down from y'all's state capital that used to serve a pretty good cheddarwurst but it's been a few years since I've been.

Are you asking me for my super secret family recipe?!?!? Sure thing! But I have a lot to say about it so get ready for the infodump. You're not just getting the proportions, you're getting too much information.

Let me start by saying it's hard to mess up SPG. Get roughly equal parts salt and pepper, add a little garlic, and you're good. Some folks also add onion to theirs and that's pretty good as well. I know guys who have won local smoking competitions who eyeball that shit.

His everyday mix is one part dried, minced garlic to three parts sea salt and three parts coarse ground black pepper by volume. On brisket he uses another part pepper to help develop that deep bark.

My everyday mix is one part dried, minced garlic to two and a half parts coarse ground black pepper and three parts table salt by volume (I had an iodine deficiency and don't want to remember to take my supplement). On brisket I use his blend.

For the garlic I generally mince it and spread it on parchment paper then pop it in the oven on 170f for an hour or so. However much garlic I end up with decides how much SPG I have so generally I'll do a whole bulb at a time. You could do the same thing with the jars of minced garlic you can buy at the store, McCormick dried minced garlic, or even garlic powder. I happen to prefer the flavor of doing it myself but not everyone has the time, extra garlic from their garden, an oven, desire, or whatever to do it and honestly the difference in results isn't going to be greatly noticeable to most people.

I'm an enthusiastic amateur taster with a terrible palette and I bet it would ruin it for me, too.

Watch your mouth, I might be a lady! I mean, I'm not, but I could be!

Honestly, using that kind of language....You're a **** ********* ** ******.

I don't think you're a ****

I think this is one of those cases where we're using different language but completely agree.

What I meant by mistakes was that they weren't making trial mistakes. They were making dumb ass political calculations when they should have been seeking justice. I generally think of that as a "tried and failed" tactic rather than "we were misguided".

That being said, you're right. Playing politics rather than treating everyone equally under the law is a huge fucking mistake.

3 mini PCs, 4 players each, round robin Mario Kart tournament.

I semi-regularly need between 6 and 8. When I throw a barbecue there's live music, a large selection of meats with plenty to snack on while everyone is waiting for the brisket and ribs to finish up, vegetarian options that are more than just sides or salads, vegan options if any of my vegan friends stop by, games like darts and cornhole, video games, drinks, and general fuckery.

I like to do it big and I've got the means and space to do that.

Let me start by saying I do get the sarcasm. I'm one of the people who likes to solidify behind the leftmost feasible candidate which is always the Dems.

Now it's exactly the time to go full bore third party and try to get ranked choice voting on ballots. Make the joke all you want about it being too late, I stand behind my decision and believe that anything after primary season, no matter what fuckery occurred during the primaries, is too late. No one thinks it's too late today except people who are paid to think that.
