So....now you're a sub-contractor with a conscience who has a newly found religion?

 

Full-time employee. Position authority, full vacation and sick time accrual, pension, thrift-savings plan, travel, and $5k annual training budget to maintain my certifications.

For that, I will sacrifice whatever chickens they want. Preferably at Popeyes or Gus's.

 

A lot of guys would kill a few chickens for that. Good luck.

 

I keep my volleyball inflated to 4 psi.

 

Tigers are cool

 

If a soccer ball is called a "football" everywhere but the USA, why isn't a volleyball called a hand ball?

 

Soccer is football. Football is handball.

 

and I have a cat with 4 teeth.

 

A lot of the British Population called it Soccer until 1966 when England beat Germany in the world cup, at this point the upper class became bigger fans of the sport that was originally only popular with the working class. This was the beginning of them calling it football to be different than the lower class.

 

it's really kickball

 

Anybody got a good Groundhog recipe?

 

Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

1 (5 to 6 pound) groundhog, cut into 6 serving pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 3/4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
2 medium onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
3/4 stick unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon size pieces
2 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup whole grain mustard
, for seasoning


Directions:

1. Rinse the groundhog pieces, remove any fat, and cut out the glands underneath the front legs and armpits, then pat the meat dry. Season with 1 tablespoon Kosher salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
2. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet, then brown the meat, in batches. This will take about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer the meat to a medium heavy pot. Reserve the skillet.
3. Add the broth to the pot.
4. Pour off any fat from skillet, then add the onions, garlic, thyme, and 3 tablespoons butter and cook over medium heat, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, until onions are softened. This will take about 5 minutes.
5. Add the wine and boil until the liquid is reduced by half. This will take about 8 minutes.
6. Pour the mixture over the groundhog. Cover the pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Braise the groundhog until it is very tender. This will take 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
7. Transfer the groundhog to a serving dish and keep warm.
8. Bring the liquid in the pot to a boil and reduce it to about 3 cups. This will take about 10 minutes. Whisk in the mustards. Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, swirling the pot until incorporated. Season sauce with salt and pepper and pour over the groundhog.
