EDSBS LABS: THE SEC FAMILY PORTRAIT ANALYZED
by Spencer Hall on Jan 26, 2011 11:44 AM EST
Email
PrintUniWatch has these for each old-school conference, and of course by link law you should peruse every single one of them for repeated clicky goodness. They're from 1969, so any jokes about racism are temporally relevant.
From the top left:
LSU: Ideally portrayed since the expression is caught somewhere between "Dammit, don't hog the boudin balls" and "I'm going to set you on fire because you look like you need settin' on fire." Note that he appears to be staring with two enraged eyes at the Ole Miss Rebel. That is the very embodiment of pure walking murder fired up on butter and homemade catfish wine.
Kentucky: "ARE YOU SURE IT'S FELINE AIDS GODDAMMIT I TRUSTED YOU MIKE I TRUSTED YOU---"
Florida: Clearly high. Distracted by the smell of someone cooking hamburgers three blocks away. Won't really start paying attention to anything until 1990 or so.
Ole Miss Rebel. Either staring back with rage at the LSU Tiger's leer, or at that liberal bastard LBJ standing right off camera. Alternate theory: may be pooping out a fifteen pound lugnut swallowed on dare.
MIssissippi State. Out of it, dazed, and yeah, that's 1969 MIssissippi State.
Auburn. Almost unrecognizable here, but the smile clearly indicates they most definitely have not set up an appointment between a recruit and a backpack full of cash in a bus locker in Opelika. Nope, totally not involved in that PAAWWWWWLLLLL----*
*Knows what this expression is despite FInebaum being decades away.
Tennessee. Proof that Phil Fulmer wasn't so much born as he was spontaneously generated from the very animal spirit of the Tennessee football program. Looks slightly agoraphobic, and this makes sense due to the fear Tennessee had of a wide-open passing game until well into the 1980s.
Georgia. Clearly outraged at the black jerseys, which even in 1969 they know bode nothing but ill for them in future years. Also staring longingly at a huge vat of skin bleach it will begin using sometime in the 1970s to attain maximum crackery whiteness.
Alabama. The best embodiment of any of these, since Bama Man is clearly a sunburnt white guy drunk to the gills and staring furiously at something whose ass desperately needs kicking. He even looks like a reform school John Parker Wilson, and may also be staring at the goddamn LBJ standing right off camera. (May not actually be LBJ, but instead a tree that looks a lot like the gnarled visage of LBJ. As we said, he's clearly hammered to bejeezus here.)
Vanderbilt. "I don't even know what I'm doing here," an expression and sentiment that has aged very well since 1969.

It's not that far off from what a badger looks like
They tend to flare their cheeks out to make their heads look bigger when there mad. Something Bucky Badger took the extreme. That being said, if you ever see a badger flare his cheeks like that, make your piece with God.

Wisconsin and Michigan both have the highest class of ferocious little furballs.
I had a dog when I was a kid get killed as a result of messing with a badger
It was one of the biggest Rottweilers I’d ever seen, but the badger was about the size of manhole cover and decided he wanted the rabbit that the dog had killed. Neither creature made it out of that confrontation. The badger was torn to bits, literally, but the dog had been wounded so bad we had to put it down.
Badgers are not to be trifled with.

Bucky Badger has clearly been traumatized by annual gang rape the Big Ten put on him between the Korean War and the arrival of Alvarez
He’s decided he’d rather be the jailhouse dandy than continue such brutal treatment. But the rage in the eyes is there, foreshadowing the destruction he would one day bring to his oppressors after the great Bielema revolt.

Beer Me, Big Tuna
When I was in college I used to get wicked hammered. My nickname was Puke. I would chug a fifth of SoCos, sneak into a frat party, polish off a few people’s empties, some brewskies, some Jell-O shots, do some body shots off myself, pass out, wake up the next morning, puke, rally, more SoCo, head to class. Probably would have gotten expelled if I had let it affect my grades, but I aced all my courses. They called me Ace. It was totally awesome. Got straight B’s. They called me Buzz.

Tim Stowers won 1 with Erk’s players the next year, then sucked. Then Paul Johnson came back (was OC under Erk) and WRECKED just about everyone. Then we sucked again. Now Monken is bringing it back to the way it was.

Tip the thing over so that the neck serves as the hose and body as the funnel. It holds about three beers. It then becomes a unit of measure. For example “I bet I can beat you at horseshoes.” “No way!” “2 full-mingos says I can!” "You’re on!

I think there was a zoning ordinance against pink flamingos in my hometown.
However there was nothing on the books about cutting a section of your neighbor’s garden hose and duct taping it to the open end of a 2-liter bottle and cutting off the bottom of the bottle. Instabeerbong!
Definitely one of the top 10 best uses of a lawn flamingo.

Or, my mom's version when she was at Ole Miss
Drive around out in Bumfuck, Mississippi, collecting flamingos and all other manner of lawn ornaments. Come back to campus and plant them in the lawn of the rival sorority. When the cops come, make them think you were stealing the lawn ornaments from said sorority, so the cops stand there and supervise while you “put them all back.”

This is my fourth and last winter in Florida and I never made it to Gasparilla. Enjoy yourself this weekend.
I can't remember who asked about it last week
But I had some Oaked Arrogant Bastard this weekend. I liked it better than the original, which IMO has too many flavor changes. It still had the strong bite up front but the aftertaste was smoother.
I missed out on Hopslam because apparently in Tallahassee one has to get there the day it arrives to have any. /sadface
Still, I think one can live rather spicily with the beer recs from this crowd.

This is where being a restauranteur allows me to bring value to the discussion
Kansas City has its own style, but its difficult to pin down because like your friend said the city has become so known for BBQ that other styles have set up shop there as well.
True KC barbecue originated with Henry Perry at the restaurant that is now known as Arthur Bryants (Henry worked for Arthur’s brother Charlie) around 1900. In fact most KC barbecue can be traced to Henry, because the man credited with creating Gates and Sons BBQ style used to work for Henry. Its slow cooked in a smoke house over a variety of wood types, most famously mesquite, although Henry’s style was mostly oak and hickory. It is then covered in a thick tomato and molasses based sauce, and served with more sauce table side.
Kansas City BBQ is characterized by this tangy, sweet BBQ, even though Henry Perry himself preferred spicy to sweet, it never caught on. What really sets KC apart is the wide variety of meats that are BBQ’d. While most places became famous for one type of BBQ (Texas with it’s dry brisket, Carolinas with their shredded pork, for example.) if its meat, Aurthur Bryant’s had a recipe for it. The dish most often associated with KC BBQ utilizes “burnt ends” the ends of the briskets that were often tossed aside by most restaurants. KC BBQ originated in the African American communities, so the ends were usually the only thing the railroad workers who inhabited those communities could afford.

You noted yesterday that your background in finance from your iBanking helped you significantly with your restaurant in the first two years. What aspects of it helped you the most? I’ve wanted to own my own business someday in the future, and I have knowledge of principles that frequently end up in legal fights (GAAP, present value concepts, etc.), but I know no theory behind most things.
Put another way, I can tell you whether you’re violating insider trading laws, whether your financial disclosures are inadequate, and can do some basic valuation of firm stuff. But I can’t tell you whether you need to reduce expenditures here or investment money there.
Rich Brooks > Me
First it gave me a much better understanding of what banks look for before extending an incredibly risky loan
Secondly, it allowed me to put together a base of a little bit more “patient capital” because of my previous relationships with venture capitalists and the like. Mostly, it gave me an understanding of how to invest that massive influx of cash in the first few months into something that could promise a return instead of just putting that cash into a checking account with a low yield and letting it slowly bleed dry. Also it helps to know a few accounting tricks to lower your tax liability. Things like incorporating the building as a separate LLC from the restaurant. This way the depreciation of the building is written off and the restaurant cuts a rent check every month that happens to be the amount of the depreciation, reducing operating income, thus reducing taxes, without actually lowering the money coming in.
It’s nothing you couldn’t learn by reading some “For Dummies” books and having rich friends, which is why I have also said I wish I would have finished my anthropology degree instead of switching to finance.

That was good learnin'
Thanks for the trick to incorporating building into a separate LLC, rent/depreciation, etc. That helps any small business owner! It helps me pay the bills for the pills in my case.
It looks like I just fired my accountant and financial adviser, for they had not told me this info. Time for an upgrade.

It also insulates you in the unfortunate event that your business fails
With the building being a separate corporation, it will not be lost to creditors if you can’t pay your bills.
"Football - For the Touchdowns; Playbook - Full of Touchdowns; PIRATE HAT and BACKUP PIRATE HAT" ~ WR Emeritus Golden Tate
This is the reason to separate
Tax probably isn’t. Without going completely geek on you, the preferred strategy for most small businesses is to elect “disregarded entity status” for your wholly owned LLCs so the income (or loss) drops directly onto your personal return. That requires you to pay current personal tax on the business earnings but avoids the alternative — corporate tax on the business earnings and a second personal tax when you distribute the cash out. (You can pay yourself a salary to avoid that, but there’s fifty years worth of case law on what’s “reasonable” to pay out of a wholly owned corp without re-classing it as a dividend.)
Et Universitatis Ohioensis delenda est!
My restaurant is an S Corp, as Wisconsin is still not quite sure whether an LLC is a "separate legal entity"
I pay myself a salary that would never be questioned as unreasonable, as it’s actually the same hourly rate as the kitchen and bar managers extrapolated to 40 hours a week. I actually don’t ever realize much profit at all from the restaurant. Any profits get put back into improvements and what-not, so for me the 5 figure check I cut in rent, helps me keep the restaurants taxable earnings much lower, because it allows me to deduct the depreciation and maintenance expenses on the LLC tax return and deduct the rent expenses for the restaurant. It’s not a lot of gain in regard to how much money you save, but in an industry where everything is done on credit and one bad weekend can ruin a quarter, even saving a couple thousand dollars can keep the wolves at bay.

My wife is all about the mustard-based BBQ
I of course think it is an abomination before the Lord, but being from North Alabama my programming is “pork ribs or inside shoulder, chopped NOT pulled, with a sauce much heavier on tomato and dark sugary stuff than vinegar.”
Old Glory BBQ in Washington DC does a nice job of providing six different forms of sauce to enable compare-and-contrast for those who can’t walk the earth like dude from Kung Fu in search of the perfect BBQ.
Now as to pork vs brisket vs that yardbird…I dasn’t get into THAT fight.

There's an old family-owned place in Lockhart called Kreuz Market
which gets an annual pilgrimage for a two-hour lunch for our department. They don’t do sauce; they say that’s what other places do to cover up bad barbecue. The brisket and pork chops there are both to die for.
I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left-hand side.
Bradley-Terry rankings for college football and basketball: because there aren't enough computer rankings already.
Around here, brisket and pork chops are not BBQ.
We make a distinction between BBQ’ed as a style or preparation, and BBQ, which is generally understood to be pulled or chopped pork.
It’s semantics, but if we say “BBQ”, we mean pork, either on a sandwich or on it’s own. If we want the food you’re talking about, we’d say BBQ’ed pork chops, or BBQ’ed brisket.

Believe it or not,
the best BBQ I’ve ever had was in Putney, VT.
And I have traveled the South extensively. I am not kidding.
Ah, ah, ah, a pirate first with a lawyer's wasted education, and himself bound by the fiendish ties of a legal disputation.
I won't cast this dubious assertion aside
because good recipes travel well.
The barbecue regions have no gatekeepers, thus allowing carpetbaggers to take what is wholly ours and export it to those who can’t fully appreciate it. However, as a native Memphian I can tell you that you could live in barbecue mecca for 12+ years (as I did) and still not discover every ramshackle pig place in town.
Memphis tourists (they do exist) are usually not interested in the best barbecue possible, as they are much more concerned with the experience. For those people, we have Corky’s, a fine establishment with excellent vittles and kind staff.
But the best barbecue usually comes from establishments housed in buildings that look like they might just collapse while you’re eating; with fat, sweaty pitmasters orchestrating glorious pork symphonies in plain view of the customer; and with patronages that will probably offend you in some way or another.
It is there that you may find true happiness, and while I wholeheartedly recommend both Interstate Barbecue off I-55 and Brad’s Bar-B-Q in Bartlett, you must make your own pilgrimage.

It’s a dive in a little town in SC (Eutawville). The building is old and looks like it’s made of kindling. The BBQ and hash, however, are beyond exceptional. If there was just one plate left, I would literally beat old women and little kids to get to it. Drop kicks, pile drivers, whatever the hell it takes to get to that last plate.

Yeah, if you want to be very particular that it's happening at the moment.
From my Spanish classes (which, admittedly, are several years behind me now), I remember that Spanish speakers often don’t distinguish between “I do X” (in a general sense) and “I am doing X” (right now); they generally use the simple present tense for both and let context indicate which it is. The literal translation of mine is along the lines of “do you ponder that which I ponder?”

I’m editing a law review article. The particular section I’m on is kind of funny. Some dude tried to start up a sperm bank as a nonprofit. The IRS said no and distinguished between his sperm donation place and a blood donation place. They included the sentences
It is significant that there are only 3 sources of your sperm vials, and that one person, M, has contributed 88% of them.
and
It is significant that M is your founder, your sole finanacial donor, and your principal sperm donor.
The standard for whether your organization is a nonprofit is whether the organization was founded solely for the public’s benefit. If there’s any significant private benefit inured, nonprofit status is denied. The IRS implied that this weirdo wasn’t vialing sperm for the public’s interest, but rather to promote his representation in the gene pool. The journal author agreed and referenced Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene.

Precalc, especially the Trig part of it...
is basically a useless class. If you EVER need those damn double-angle/half-angle/etc. formulae, you just look them up.
I don’t think you should get college credit for anything below Calculus, because you should’ve learned that in HS, but I’m a bit of a math elitist, so…

The problem is quite complex...
you’ll have to forgive me, as I was a HS teacher for a couple of years, and saw a lot of this first hand.
However, it basically boils down to a few main factors.
1) Students aren’t taught well because pay for teachers is relatively low, so you don’t get the best and brightest, especially at public high schools in lower-income areas.
2) Mathematics isn’t really taught in the correct way, because it is really quite beautiful in pattern recognition and natural curiosity, but that’s hard to teach and harder to evaluate, especially on standardized tests.
3) It’s become somewhat fashionable/a source of pride for people to be innumerate(mathematically illiterate). If people were as bad at reading and writing as they are at basic math, there would be national outrage. Instead, it’s accepted.
4) Teachers with tenure can be more interested in keeping their jobs than educating people.
5) We expect too little of people, and are more interested in their feelings than their knowledge- a college education is a privilege to be earned, not the quasi-right it’s become. Access to a college education should be open to all, but those who get it should have earned it more.

We had three physics classes for non-science folks
Space physics, music physics, and sports physics.
Space physics was known as “Darkness at Noon” due to the prof’s fondness for turning down the lights and showing NASA films. But the exams all kicked my ass.
Music physics was basically a non-threatening intro to wave mechanics.
And a lot of folks signed up for sports physics thinking “hey, cool!” until they figured out that the final exam was to calculate all the vectors of force involved in throwing a major league curveball.

Actually, the set of natural number and the set of integers have the same cardinality

"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
That always bugged me (not that I did any formal study on cardinality)
Naturals and integers being the same cardinality made sense, in a way – twice as many, but not “infinitely more” – but rationals having the same cardinality meant MY HEAD ASPLODE. I just can’t envision a 1-to-1 mapping there.

1 2 3 ….
1 1/1 1/2 1/3 …
2 2/1 2/2 2/3 …
3 3/1 3/2 3/3 …
… …
This will create every possible positive rational number. Then, start at 1/1, go over one spot, down the diagonal, down one spot, up the diagonal, one spot over, etc. If you come to a number that you’ve already counted(ex. 36 when you’ve already hit 1/2), just skip it.
So, 1/1, 1/2, 2/1, 3/1, 2/2(skip), 1/3, 1/4, 2/3, 3/2, 4/1, 5/1, 4/2(skip), 3/3(skip), etc.
If you want all the rationals, not just the positives, go 1/1, -1/1, 1/2, -1/2, etc.

Percents and solving for the unknown are the most valuable math tools ever learned.
"That's a God thing right there."
True that. I remember shopping with a friend once
and she was amazed at my ability to figure out sales prices so quickly so I taught her the trick my grandpa taught me when I was young of rounding, knocking off the last number, and multiplying by the amount off.
IE item is $24.99 – round to $25
20% off? Multiply $2.50 by 2 = $5
subtract from 25 = $20 is the sale price. She was amazed. Also if the sale is good enough, like 70% off I just would multiply the rounded number by 3 instead to find the price. Again, sheer amazement. Does nobody learn maffs?
If the tax in your area is close to 10% you can always double the tax on the bill for good service too. I’ve taught that trick to many folks.

It's really not hard.
Of course, with two EEs as parents and a fascination with math that started when I was 2 and my parents gave me a calculator so I’d quit playing with the damn TV remote – no, I am not making this up – I got a bit of a head start. But when I was 10 years old, if we were going on a short shopping trip I usually had the total calculated before checkout, right down to the last penny.
As for tips, I usually estimate tip+tax at 25%, give or take.

I'm probably going to sound like I'm complaining unduly, or being ungrateful
And this is not really a reply to Dan, but as someone who works understands how little waitresses get paid (minimum wage for waitress is around $3 an hour in Wisconsin), the standard tip of 15% should not be considered the default tip. You should tip 15% if everything happened like it was supposed to, as in, if you got your food and ate it without incident. If your server was anything above the baseline level of expectation, tip him or her more. The standard tip is moving to 20% now.
Also if there was something wrong with your service that was out of the waitresses control, don’t take it out on her by tipping less. Complain about it, you’ll often find the restaurant is willing to satisfy your need to be “made whole” in other ways, without taking money out of her pocket. Same can be said for people who skip out on a check, you’re not taking money from “the man” or whoever you’re trying to rip off, you’re often taking money out of the waitresses pocket, because now her count is off.
Finally, those among you who leave a dime or a few pennies to make a point that you didn’t just forget to tip, but were unhappy with with the service. You’re not clever, you’re not making a point, you’re just being a prick. I’d much rather you told someone about why you were unhappy and let us try to make you happy. Or failing that, because for some reason people are afraid to complain, I’d rather you just walk out without tipping, this way I can assume you were forgetful and not that your smug jackass.

Oh, no, I comepletely understand that...
I worked as a busboy, and people are always amazed at how many people those tips get split between. If you can’t afford to treat the waitress properly, then you can’t afford to eat out.
My standard is 20% and then whatever else makes the total bill a whole dollar amount.
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
Yeah, I tend to go around 20%
That trick worked better in Minnesota when tax was 6.5% (and even then I’d round up). That’s an easy way to estimate the end total, just know that it’s going to come out a little bit low.
I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left-hand side.

I doubt anyone here is a bad tipper
But however, whats your standard for bartenders? They are obviously doing less work than a waitress so 20% as a guideline seems rich. I tend to just tip a buck per drink, whether the drink is $2 or $10. Fair?
Comes from my time in NYC – a buck per drink; per coat for coatcheck; buck per bag for taxi/bellhop; taxis I round up the dollar and $1 per $10.

by Bourbon_Meyer on Jan 28, 2011 7:52 AM EST up reply actions
Bartenders, I have no problem with leaving the coins if you just ordered one drink
Especially if it’s less than $5. Since bottles of beer are $2.50, you’re techically tipping 20%, but mid-level mixers are 3.50 so you’re leaving less than the 20%. Other than that, maybe leaving a dollar or two depending on how many drinks you ordered.

10x – x = 9.99999 repeating – .99999 repeating

if you end up in either signal processing or control systems. You do a lot of frequency-domain work with those (Fourier, Laplace, or Z-transforms) and there’s no easier way to handle the conversion back to time-domain than partial fraction expansion.

I think I could have gotten at least a four, which would have transferred.
I got an A in the class and I crushed everything on the exam that I recognized (I think). There were a lot of concepts on the exam that I hadn’t ever heard of because we simply didn’t have the time to go over them in class. This was also the first or second year of bloc and I don’t think the teacher had adjust the lesson plans accordingly. One of the problems was that we spent so much time on basic derivatives because a majority of the class couldn’t grasp the concepts required to go further along in the book. Test/quiz retakes, etc. left the syllabus a wreck.
While it’s just a theory, I believe math is better learned and retained when devoured in smaller chunks. I think a part of this is the amount of math the average high schooler can take in a day and the other is that it was a tough adjustment to that level of thinking given very few of us had taken a math class since the previous spring, so we were all rusty.
I aced regular calculus at ASU the following spring without buying the book, which was a bit of a feat considering how woeful my homework score was. I know I just blew a hole in my own theory, but I was academic team all star math nerd until I drank those skills away.
This may be the only forum in my life where I feel comfortable flexing my gangsta math nuts. Thank you all.
Agree wholeheartedly that math on a block schedule is a terrible idea...
after about 50 minutes, you need a break so that kids can go home and drill on some of the concepts. If you mix two concepts in one day, you get some extreme confusion.
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
You might appreciate this.
A friend of mine was a math major at FSU. He is now quite successful and living the life every bachelor would want. He did/does math tutoring for all levels. He just thinks math is taugh wrong, especially at the 9-12 range. I think he’s right. He’s told school officials this. They have tried to ban him from tutoring because his students grasp the concepts quicker and end up helping the rest of the kids while the actual math teachers flounder. (also, this applies to private schools too, so not just about the public education aspect yeah)

I tried telling the people in charge of the school I worked at that they were doing it wrong...
the head of the department and my good friend agreed with me. The response was simply “our goal is for the kids to get into good colleges, and the colleges want to see it this way.”
When a school becomes less about teaching and more about positioning for the future, it seems to me that it’s going to be in some trouble. That was one of the reasons I left that school. Now, whether any other place does it better, I don’t know, but I like your friend’s methodology.

Or whether they should be in college at all
Coming from the son of an academic who spent a good deal of time planning on going into academia…I feel like our educational structure now sends many people to college who 1) shouldn’t be there 2) don’t need to be there 3) could benefit both themselves and the economy more by working in the private sector instead.
But that might just be the rant of a law student who is fully cognizant that 1) he is paying a lot of money to law school, 2) he is not learning anything that will make him a better lawyer or enrich his life beyond the opportunity cost of practicing

This is a good point
Today’s college degree is the equivalent of the high school diploma 20-30 years ago. We have a huge mass of people graduating, thanks to loans. They have degrees that are more or less indistinguishable, thanks to grade inflation and other factors. With a supply like that, many jobs that don’t really require a college degree are staffed with college grads—after all, if you have the choice, why not choose the college grad?
The employers are happy because they have overqualified kids. The schools are happy because the classroom is full. The students, though, are saddled with debt because they had to go to school for degrees they didn’t need. They spent lots of money in classes that lack the “value added” component, and lots tons of money in opportunity cost from the private sector.
There’s also the secondary problem, which is kids like me who went into the social studies and stayed away from math/hard science/engineering programs. Our country exceeds at the former, but the latter produce much more wealth and we are dropping quickly in it. Justice Scalia himself lamented the number of smart kids who get unmarketable degrees and go to law school rather than go into something useful like engineering or computer science.

Of course . . .

Since employers now are completely gun-shy about giving intelligence tests, they use “some college” or a degree as a proxy, even for jobs (like retail store manager spots) that used to be filled frequently by HS grads with a decent head for numbers and some practical management skills.

and my soft skills are what’s important, especially when I was helping out around some smaller companies. None of this (except for the maturing and reasoning bit) was taught in college. In fact, the information imparted to me of most value right now is not my degree but was my job in college. Crazy, I know.

While this convo was happening last night
I was Super Bowl menu planning and my special ladyfriend was dissertating next to me on the couch. She’s doing research on customer satisfaction in rent vs. own situations. I’m planning a Wisconsin/Pittsburgh menu consisting of butter burger sliders, fried cheese curds, brats, fried fish, Miller High Life, Rolling Rock, chipped ham, perogies, and Primanti-style sammiches, plus the usual fare.
Can I come?
"Football - For the Touchdowns; Playbook - Full of Touchdowns; PIRATE HAT and BACKUP PIRATE HAT" ~ WR Emeritus Golden Tate
Sure!
I may even hit you up for a fish fry batter recipe. Also, do you have a recommendation for ordering curds online?
Despite being indifferent about the NFL, my household has always gone all out. My delightful mother was raised in a house as the with five brothers and no sisters so not understanding sports meant she was left out of a lot of conversations. She was a single mom for a significant fraction of my childhood but even so, new year’s day meant multiple tvs in the living room and Super Bowl Sunday was treated with the importance of Thanksgiving. Long story short, it’s a big deal for me.
My best friend’s tv just blew out and over the weekend I helped him install his 43" LCD wall mount. It’ll be at his house and we’ll start drinking around 9 or 10 am. Baggo (cornhole) will be played, squares will be set up, and prop bets will be made. My PTO has already been approved for 2/7/11.
I'll do you one better. Let me introduce you to the official cheese curd of the Green Bay Packers
Westby is a town of about 2000 people, so you know their curds are good when they get recognition. They only make cheddar, which is why you only get to choose the color of the curds. The yellow are better for deep frying, the white are better for just putting in a bowl and eating as finger food.

Cheese curds can’t go bad, just throw away the moldy the ones the rest are still good.

Are you buying frozen pierogi or making them by hand?
And what are you putting into them? Because now I’m wanting them for dinner and may have to break out Bapcia’s recipe
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
By hand.
I was thinking of doing the standard potato and cheese but I’m thinking MOAR MEAT. I have a bunch of Tasso in the freezer that I may use, although I think corned beef would probably work better.
I’ve never made them before, I was doing internet research last night for the first time. I think I’ll be going for the lightly boiled, then sauteed in butter and onions method. Any advice would be appreciated.
Advice - find an old Polish lady to do it for you and get out of her way.
Or, failing that, make sure that you have some kraut pierogi there. My grandmother has always made her own dough, but hasn’t yet given me the recipe. I’ve got an old Polish recipe book at home that I’ll try and look into a little later, to see if I can help more.
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
Pierogi advice commencing below...
The recipe I have is 2 cups flour, 1 large egg, a few spoonfuls of lukewarm water. Work the dough until firm, then split in half and roll each into a thin sheet. Arrange your stuffing along one side, 2-3 inches from the edge. Cut into semi-circles(a heavy glass works), and press the dough parts to the parts with stuffing.
My favorite stuffing is for a sweet pierogi – 2 egg yolks, 1 Tbs. butter, 1 lb. farmer’s cheese, mashed, dash of salt, 1 Tbs. sugar, 3/4 cup raisins. Cream the egg yolks and butter, then combine with the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Once you have the pierogi made, drop them into boiling water and cover the pot. When they rise to the top, they’re done boiling. Then, just a quick fry in butter until they brown and are slightly crisp, serve with some drawn butter, or instead some good sausage and brown mustard.
If you’re going to do the kraut ones, use 5-6 oz. of kraut, cooked in a small amount of water, for 13-15 minutes. While they cook, saute 1-2 oz. of chopped mushrooms and ~1/5 cup of chopped onions in 2 tsp. of butter. When the kraut has cooked, drain it and add the onions and mushrooms, then cook another 18-20 minutes. Remove it from the heat and add in 2 tsp. of sour cream. Mix it up and let it cool to room temperature before using to stuff your pierogi.
All in all, this should make somewhere around 35-45 pierogi, depending on the size you cut them. That’s enough for a meal for 3 or 4 people.
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
Well, I suppose I technically qualify...
but I have other Super Bowl plans already :-P
