Question: (might sound dumb) When someone refers to "barbecue" meat or sandwich, does that by definiton use barbecue sauce? - con_carne Mar 3, 15:36 5
- No, it's a method of cooking meat (preferably pork shoulder which is then "pulled" or shredded off the bone) for an extended period, 10-12 hours, over - Trish Mar 3, 15:49
- Yes. -- nm - Stephen Mar 3, 15:39
- Yes, at least it does around here. - the liioulu with scraps Mar 3, 15:38 1
  - Cool, thx -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 15:40
- not necessarily. -- nm - znufrii Mar 3, 15:36

- *shocked* -- nm - Tauruschach Mar 3, 15:34
crash, - tRuMaN Mar 3, 15:33 5
- so if I say yes, you'll get out of packing? I don't know if I can handle the guilt of saying no. -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 15:35 4
  - hey, no, either way I will pack some - tRuMaN Mar 3, 15:36 3
    - also, - tRuMaN Mar 3, 15:36 2

- You are a cute boy. - the liioulu with scraps Mar 3, 15:30
ugg, I so dont want to pack more tonight. - tRuMaN Mar 3, 15:24 10
- Box label - "Miscellaneous I have not good idea what" -- nm - the liioulu with scraps Mar 3, 15:29
- I feel for you. Moving has to be one of the activities I hate the most. -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 15:28 8
  - do you hate it more or less than be killed by me in halo? -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 3, 15:29 2
    - I hate it more since the latter is becoming a more and more difficult thing to achieve. -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 15:31 1
      - you think wrong. - tRuMaN Mar 3, 15:32
  - I hate moving, but I love having a new house. -- nm - mafic Mar 3, 15:29 4
    - you have a new house? did you sell the condo? - kare Mar 3, 15:35 1
      - no, my brother lives there. but I did just move out of my house in Perth (I'm moving back in 6 weeks). -- nm - mafic Mar 3, 15:37
    - Everytime I've moved I've sworn to become a minimalist, but I've also failed that promise everytime too. -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 15:33 1
      - so do I, but every time I have to pack I put it off for so long that by the time I get around to it there isn't enough time to sort through everything -- nm - mafic Mar 3, 15:38
hey cooks, stupid question. if you're making shredded bbq sandwiches, do you do anything with the bread before you throw the meat on? - kare Mar 3, 15:19 27
- lightly toast them. I sometimes put a little garlic in a butter sauce and have it on the side for people to put on if they want -- nm - Remlik Mar 3, 15:35
- Since they're hoagie type rolls, nothing, unless you want to toast them a little. - the liioulu with scraps Mar 3, 15:32
- I think toasting the buns makes them a little stronger. -- nm - Tauruschach Mar 3, 15:29
- I toast them, then put red onions and pickles on it. - Stephen Mar 3, 15:29
- coleslaw -- nm - znufrii Mar 3, 15:27 5
  - on the bread? - dogbert183 Mar 3, 15:29 4
    - coleslaw is vile... - Stephen Mar 3, 15:34 1
      - you, sir, have never had good slaw. - znufrii Mar 3, 15:35
    - I thought so too before I tried it. - znufrii Mar 3, 15:31
    - Memphis Style! -- nm - Tauruschach Mar 3, 15:30
- the only thing I would do to the bread is throw out to the birds. they like it, and it only takes up space in my stomach reserved for bbq beef -- nm - dogbert183 Mar 3, 15:25 6
  - it's actually bbq chicken. so there. (for the boys. for me, i'm going to try to find some delicious gardenburger riblettes.) -- nm - kare Mar 3, 15:32
  - oh, it's beef? *disappointed* -- nm - znufrii Mar 3, 15:32 3
    - i'm throwing some breasts and bbq sauce (homemade, i think, haven't decided) in the crock pot. then i barely have to touch the meat, see! -- nm - kare Mar 3, 15:33 2
      - could be worse, but the way to do it is to throw some pork shoulder in the smoker for six hours, and it just falls apart at the touch. -- nm - znufrii Mar 3, 15:35 1
        
        ewwww. -- nm - kare Mar 3, 15:35
  - This is the 2nd best answer -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 15:25
- chimichurri -- (link) - con_carne Mar 3, 15:23 2
  - that sounds good. i may have to try marinating some tofu in it. -- nm - kare Mar 3, 15:34
  - Unless there's already bbq sauce, in which case blech -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 15:25
- I always think toasting the buns makes it better -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 15:23
- Hamburger buns; no butter. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 15:22 2
  - warmed? anything else? -- nm - kare Mar 3, 15:23 1
    - Toast the buns if you want, but for me, just pile the bbq on them. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 15:23
- I'd use buns--regular bread won't stand up to it. - Trish Mar 3, 15:21 2
  - oh, sorry -- i actually have these buns that inspired the whole thing. kinda hoagy-like. -- nm - kare Mar 3, 15:23 1
    - I like a light toasting. Sometimes buttered. -- nm - Dr.Vermhattan Mar 3, 15:23
LYC-*gasp* I've discovered the Gallbladder community on facebook! -- nm - lileve Mar 3, 15:19 3

It's both shocking and not how few people (and commenters) in that tax article understood what a marginal tax rate is. - Reagen Mar 3, 15:09 13

    - well, I don't make that much money now, but when I go on the Pro Halo circuit, I don't want to be taxed that much. -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 15:30 1
      - You won't be. -- nm - Tauruschach Mar 3, 15:31
    - "But I can barely make ends meet on that kind of money!!!" -- nm - Rich Ninnies Mar 3, 15:29
    - [deleted] 1
      - oh sure - but there's no place iin the country where you're earning that much and not doing much much better than the average. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 15:38
    - That's over 7 years of my salary. -- nm - Dano Mar 3, 15:28
- "I don't want more money, 'cause then I'll be in a higher tax bracket!" has always baffled me. - mafic Mar 3, 15:12 1

Blockbuster says they are not looking into filing for bankruptcy... shares of the video-rental chain had dropped 77% on the rumor -- nm - Stewie Mar 3, 14:57 2

- also Netflix was up almost 6% -- nm - Stewie Mar 3, 14:58

  - [deleted] 4
    - are you going to tell me there are more brick and mortar porn stores in Idaho than in Florida? -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 15:15 3
      - Uh, I'd wager the result is rated on a per-capita basis. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 15:16 2
        
        which result are you talking about? -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 15:18 1

  - that and porn stores really don't explain some of the names in the top 10 and in the bottom 10 (and your link title makes me laugh) -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 14:55 2
    - What is the explanation then? - Dr.Vermhattan Mar 3, 15:03 1
      - well, look at #2 on the list of porn addicts, Alaska. I think thats explained by most women in porn having a full set of teeth. - crash davis Mar 3, 15:07
- Wait, Utah is #1 and Idaho is #49? *goes and gets a bunch of subscriptions, Idaho represent!* -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 14:48

  - that was a terrible quote - Stewie Mar 3, 14:44 3
    - It's always more challenging to code for multiple processors, but from what I've heard, Sony's gone out of their way to keep it complicated -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 14:46 2
      - the main complaint is that you learn how to program for the PS3 and it's not applicable to anything else - Stewie Mar 3, 14:54 1
        
        yeah, that's kind of a dumb argument there, I agree. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 14:58

WillH, if she's saying she's attentive while that happened, how can you trust she won't text while driving? -- nm - zork Mar 3, 14:24 3
- If the only other recourse was to throw her phone against the wall, you might be right. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:25 2
  - in truth, I would have told her that she's to never text while driving and if I ever found out otherwise she'd lose both priviledges -- nm - zork Mar 3, 14:26 1
    - and make sure that she knew I was entirely serious about the punishment -- nm - zork Mar 3, 14:27
