I'm an ABSOLUTE nay on this. I cook rice & gravy all the time & just don't see the need for it. If you brown your meat & veggies enough, your gravy color will take car of itself. Just wondering if people use it & with what meat gravy do you find it necessary to use with?...

I've watched a lot of Tiger baseball through the years & this team is LOADED top to bottom-offense, defense, & all the intangibles. It seems the more fierce the competition, the cooler they are; they almost downright laugh at the challenge of facing hyped up pitching staffs. Impressive so far, if t...

Alton Brown's steak cooking method, 30 seconds on each side in a cast iron skillet, 500 degree oven for 2 minutes on each side (med rare). I was wondering if this would work well with some hamburger patties, anyone ever try it or tweak the process/timing for burgers? TIA...

I start most of my garden plants from seed & usually have very good results. The only problem I have is starting my pepper plants, in particular bell pepper & hatch chili's. I get them to sprout & usually get them to the point of having 2 leaves on the stalk, then it goes downhill from there I can't...

Planted 2 blueberry bushes (climax & premier) in 20" pots & was just wondering if anyone here raises them this way & if you've had success with it. I know they need full sun, regular watering, & they like a high acid soil-will be using azalea fertilizer on them. Any other suggestions or tips for gro...

Interesting quote, LSU ran some hurry up offense last year & was successful with it. The only thing that worries menabout this up tempo approach is if the offense doesn't make ...

I thought LSU would be playing ulala this year in football but looking at the schedule, it ain't so. Also, noticed we have 2 open dates-before & after the bama game, actually 2 before the bama game considering LSU hosts Furman the week before the first open date. I remember a few years with 2 open d...

If bama loses of course it'll open up all the "SEC is overated/on the downward spiral/losing it's choke hold on college football" talk but when it's all said and done, did anyone really believe this run would last forever? I'm sure it'll be debated al...

Both of these guys were BEASTS! and fun as hell to watch. LaFleur was the most talented of the two but what Nickie lacked in talent, he made up for in his tenacity, that boy could lay some Laron Landry-isk hits. Sadly neither one had much luck in the NFL. ...
