  - Also, making your own sauce is easy and tastes better -- nm - Roger More Aug 29, 10:56
  - Thanks for the advice! I'm doing it in my oven as I don't have a grill. I was going to wrap it in foil and cook it slow but I'm still reading about - Krusty Aug 29, 10:44 4
    - This is how I do it in the oven. foil wrapped, low and slow -- nm - decline Aug 29, 11:07 3
      - That seems to be the best way when using an oven. I'm also seeing people throw it in the broiler at the end to get some nice char. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 29, 11:11 2

    - This was for Krusty. I'm sure tru's had it. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 29, 10:21 1

Biden tried calling out Trump. He continually said that democracy was on the line. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 29, 10:00 6
- Kamala still follows up the "weird" stuff with "... and he's a direct threat to democracy." the main reason it's landing now is she's a better - mr mooch Aug 29, 10:18 3
  - She definitely is, but that's even more of a reason to not have Biden do a press conference. - Inigo Aug 29, 10:23 2
    - Which really was my main point on B2! - Jovian Aug 29, 10:29 1
      - More of the fact people have stopped listening to him than any inability of him to send the message - Reagen Aug 29, 11:31
