does anyone have a favorite buffalo-style chicken wings recipe they would like to share? - kare Sep 7, 13:40 9
- easy - znufrii, Q-Lister Sep 7, 13:58
- fry up the wings in hot oil. melt butter in Frank's Red Hot sauce, stir. - Diva, 'Drive' Ignoramus Sep 7, 13:43 1
  - Deevs for the win -- nm - JenBro Sep 7, 15:37
- i like that sweet chili asian sauce much better than tobasco -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 7, 13:42 1
  - i would never use tabasco on wings. (not a fan of tabasco on anything really) -- nm - Diva, 'Drive' Ignoramus Sep 7, 13:43
- you cook your tenders or wings as you like (fried, baked, etc).. then you melt a few tablespoons of butter and mix with lots of hot sauce, toss. - colin Sep 7, 13:42
- (by the way, just so you know, i am quite aware of how boring i've become. and it's not exactly a happy realization.) -- nm - kare Sep 7, 13:41 1
  - you're not boring. -- nm - Diva Sep 7, 14:34
- yeah, that's basically the recipe. make wings; put sauce in bowl; toss. -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 13:40
Hedge fund "whiz" John Paulson has lost 34% of his investors money this year (nmbl) -- (link) - Brian Sep 7, 13:31 1

- *full on pouts* - Epiphany Sep 7, 13:37 3
  - awww... i know! i looked at a really cool workcamping opportunity there as well.. might do that next fall instead. - colin Sep 7, 13:38 2
    - like downtown Houston? you need to check locations - really. suburbs are where its at. Katy or Shenandoah or The Woodlands -- nm - Epiphany Sep 7, 13:39 1
      - Dallas Street.. smack dab in the middle. -- nm - colin Sep 7, 13:40
- unsolicited advice time! (sing to tune of "peanut butter jelly time") - if you get an in-person interview, you should totally go. 1) practice 2) they - kare Sep 7, 13:36
- You're looking for a job you can't take for 9 months? - Will Hunting Sep 7, 13:33 6
  - well, it was a vague job posting, so i applied just to get some more info.. turns out they need someone ASAP. - colin Sep 7, 13:35 5
    - also... i'll leave as soon as these projects are completed, but my lease is up in May, so that would be optimal for not losing deposits, etc. - colin Sep 7, 13:36 1
      - Never hurts to ask about them covering the costs with a "signing bonus" -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 13:37
    - maybe they'd pay enough that screwing over would be worth it. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 13:35 2
      - it's so tempting to be loyal, isn't it? but the fact is, most employers, if it comes down to it, aren't going to be worried about being loyal back. - kare Sep 7, 13:37
      - you know, their initial ballpark was a 35% increase.. that's definitely worth considering if accurate. -- nm - colin Sep 7, 13:37

  - the mini skateboard thingies? aghast? -- nm - b. Sep 7, 13:33 1
    - shocked at how dumb fads can be. -- nm - Max Sep 7, 13:35

make your own funny autocorrect screenshots -- (link) - mara Sep 7, 13:24 3
- perfection -- (link) - oblique Sep 7, 13:29 1
  - offs...there's no autocorrect in there at all - ceregon Sep 7, 13:32
- after some I've seen, I figured something like this had to be out there. thanks. -- nm - b. Sep 7, 13:25
I am tempted to try making fried shrimp, but I dont think I have ever attempted to cook with hot oil. - kelly Sep 7, 13:18 55
- in a bowl pour a small amount of your oil over shrimp to coat, then stir fry in a barely greesed pan, remove and then cook your veggies with whatever - zeitgeist Sep 7, 13:38
- sounds like you've already narrowed down, but i'll recommend bacon-wrapped shrimp on skewers anyway. - kare Sep 7, 13:30
- don't need to deep fry, shallow frying works just fine.. -- nm - colin Sep 7, 13:25 1
  - this -- nm - Diva, 'Drive' Ignoramus Sep 7, 13:29
- Are you deep-frying? Or just sauteeing? -- nm - Roger More Sep 7, 13:25
- If you want to make them nice and tasty, get some cubed pancetta, fry that up, then take the pancetta grease and a little olive oil and fry the shrimp - Stephen Sep 7, 13:22 1
  - My standby -s cook the shrimp in a little olive oil, until pink all over. Remove, then in the same pan fry some garlic, then add some chili flakes. - Roger More Sep 7, 13:38
- have you never fried chicken? (it would be similar but you could probably use a smaller pan/pot) - Diva, 'Drive' Ignoramus Sep 7, 13:22 42
  - I've never fried chicken, not whole pieces anyway. - znufrii, Q-Lister Sep 7, 13:32 1
    - I bought a deep frier just to make fried chicken - little pieces of heaven they are -- nm - decline Sep 7, 13:35
  - (I adore you.) -- nm - b. Sep 7, 13:24 2
    - Any sass will be purely nonstereotypical -- nm - con_carne Sep 7, 13:27 1
      - "You're getting on my last.... Boston... nerve!" -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 13:40
  - Never. (i hate fried chicken.) -- nm - kelly Sep 7, 13:23 36
    - how is that even possible? -- nm - decline Sep 7, 13:34
    - Same here. Probably my least favorite popular food. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 13:29 10
      - Mwah! -- nm - kelly Sep 7, 13:36
      - Wow. This is the most disturbing ST revelation in months -- nm - Roger More Sep 7, 13:34 1
        
        This whole thread is hurting my face. -- nm - Diva, 'Drive' Ignoramus Sep 7, 13:38

        *goes to KFC, buys bucket of chicken* huh? -- nm - Roger More Sep 7, 13:35 1

        Yes. -- nm - kelly Sep 7, 13:34
        
        ? -- nm - Diva, 'Drive' Ignoramus Sep 7, 13:34
    - how is this possible? -- nm - Stephen Sep 7, 13:29
    - who *are* you? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 7, 13:28
    - *high five* -- nm - kare Sep 7, 13:27

        Ashlee can't stand the skin, so I always get it. - Stephen Sep 7, 13:38 1
        
        Bonus! -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 13:40
        
        I was having EPC one night with friends, and one asked me for my skin, which I took off. - con_carne Sep 7, 13:36 2

    - wtf? -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 13:25
    - dang. -- nm - Diva, 'Drive' Ignoramus Sep 7, 13:23 7
      - Come to think of it, I'm not a fan of most fried foods. - kelly Sep 7, 13:27 6
        
        in the end not eating fried chicken is of course, much healthier. but dang. - Diva, 'Drive' Ignoramus Sep 7, 13:28 5
        
        the non-outside (I can't bring myself to say what it really is, esp. with kare here.) actually isn't that bad. even from kfc. nm but: -- (link) - b. Sep 7, 13:31 4

        May I suggest doing drumettes only - con_carne Sep 7, 13:39 1
        
        I actually like the middle section of buffalo wings just as much if not more than the drumettes -- nm - znufrii, Q-Lister Sep 7, 13:40
- I have done it in an electric Wok before. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 13:20 3
  - Yeah, but you're a prevert -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 13:21 2
    - you should see his soapy wok dance. -- nm - Max Sep 7, 13:34
    - this is the preferred spelling of that word. it's somehow even more skeevy than 'pervert'. -- nm - Diva, 'Drive' Ignoramus Sep 7, 13:31
- It works best if you do it naked -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 13:19
ok, fox news ran a piece on how some video games are pushing a liberal agenda - tRuMaN Sep 7, 13:14 10

  - seriously, do you want me to link to all the idiotic games about killing the president? - tRuMaN Sep 7, 13:25 1
    - How was my post in any way acting like it's only done by one side. In fact, show me where I ever said that... - Stephen Sep 7, 13:30
  - Finally, a game any sane person can enjoy! -- nm - David Sep 7, 13:23 1
    - and yet you seem to enjoy the idea of it! - Stephen Sep 7, 13:35

it makes me really uncomfortable when the parents at work yell at their kids on the phone for everyone to hear. - HPV McGee Sep 7, 13:12 7

even more local sports guys are saying Peyton's neck is worse than what the Colts are saying.... - Remlik Sep 7, 13:04 21
- I'm worried about his career, not his season. I think it's a foregone conclusion he goes on at least the PUP list if not IR. -- nm - David Sep 7, 13:18 7
  - Exactly. I hope he hasn't played his last game already. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 13:27
  - yup. - tRuMaN Sep 7, 13:19 5
    - some interesting radio emails are hinting at this very strongly. -- nm - Remlik Sep 7, 13:38
    - Assuming Peyton goes on IR for the year, do you think he's deserving of a top 5 pick in BF in 2012? - TFox Sep 7, 13:24 3

      - Assuming non-keeper status....depends on the QB you have. If it's a non-top 7...of course he is. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 13:26
      - Of course. - The Ruiner Sep 7, 13:26
- So, how much is his new contract for? - Will Hunting Sep 7, 13:15 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - I was told that the neck injury is from 5 years ago and when he got hit hard last year it really messed him up. -- nm - Remlik Sep 7, 13:34
    - IIRC -- just standard wear and tear -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 13:20
    - he was injured towards the end of last season is all i remember. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 7, 13:20
- i wonder how much of this is attributable to not having access to the team's medical staff/trainers. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 7, 13:11 4
  - A lot. Some sports people are annoyed he did not have the surgery as soon as the season ended. I think he knew the lock out would be bad for him and - The Ruiner Sep 7, 13:13 2
    - not buying that totally....he's had access to the top surgery guys across the country. -- nm - Remlik Sep 7, 13:36

LYC: 10-team FF draft from last night - Strongbad Sep 7, 12:58 4

  - I'll see if anyone's desperate for WR help. I'm pretty content playing matchups at that RB2 spot if I can't find help. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 7, 13:01 1
    - It would be really good for you if you could move Matthews and Fitz for a high end RB. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 7, 13:14
