Looks very extravagant. I really hate to admit this, but I've never had fois gras. Yes, hate admitting that. 😣 Kind of drops me a level in coolness.

You're probably right. We eat nothing but organic fruits & veggies and most of our meats are free range. That puts us up there in food budget. But we cut everything else. Drive a Saturn, live in a tiny, crappy apartment and walk everywhere. Food though is sacred. Gotta have the good stuff.

I'd love to have your cooking some day, Wade. Have no idea what sopadillas are. Not a fan of port. For after dinner, I prefer Kahlua or Frangelico. Both straight up, no ice. Sometimes I'll mix them together. Usually not.

Trying to imagine what Kahlua and Frangelico together would be like....nah, I'll stick to port. (It's a geezer drink.)

You will have to wander out to Iowa someday. Give me an excuse to cancel classes. :)

I really want to take a road trip. Not sure when it will happen, but if so, I'm hitting Iowa. It won't be this year.

p.s. Zombie, I recommend you hold off on fois gras as long as possible. Once you taste it, especially seared, you'll find you want to have it again. And all that nice financial discipline you have will piddle out the window, one melty bit at a time. Because there's not a sports bar or family restaurant in the world that has it on the menu; you only get it if you go seriously upscale. And then all of a sudden you start seeing more menus with like Wagyu beef by the ounce and Osetra caviar and truffles. And you're doomed. Doomed. I'm only safe because I live in Iowa where there are no such restaurants, but living where you do it'd be a disaster.

Colorado sounds cool. Spent four summers in the Springs. Short drive for me. I can probably do it in a day and a half.

Wade, I am hosting a little shindig on the weekend of August 12. Last I heard, zombieslayer and wife are coming. You, of course, are warmly invited to attend as well. Were you to come, I would be honored if you were to contribute your culinary talents to the celebration.

If you right click on the graphic, you can open it in a new tab or window -- then it will automatically resize large enough to be read (it is virtually unreadable in the viewer). However, you can't right-click on the graphic and do a "Save as." Is that deliberate, Kevin?

As of right now, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to be in Madison all day on the 12th (last day of a two week consulting-ish visit), and I expect my hosts and I will be doing dinner that evening before and AM departure on 13th. Real good bet that 13th or 14th will be available, though.

And if it works, I'd be happy to add my food snobbery in just about any way you wish, eating, pretentious cooking, etc. (Though probably no fois gras unless someone else pays this time.😁 )

Would be great to get together with y'all.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (10h) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (10h) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (13h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (13h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (13h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (14h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (15h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (15h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (18h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (18h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (18h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (18h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (18h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (19h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (19h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (20h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (22h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (22h) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (22h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (22h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (26-Aug) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks

schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented
