Last long here? It's morons like you who don't last long, ignoring reality. The court of final appeal.

Do you even see the irony in this statement? Especially when followed up with a line about Saban's "three national championships?"

Yes, I believe it's irony of the Socratic variety. Three "more" national championships for Les. lil nicky has four.

This. They knew exactly wanted they wanted to do on their last drive and in OT. And they executed. Miles only does one thing better than lil nicky and that is humor us.

Gumbo Queen Has Spoken

Let it be Said
"He" prepares stew not gumbo because I said so
Bay Leaf shall not be used in the preparation of stock for gumbo, or gumbo or it
shall be bitter or too Italian (I'm not making this up)
Carrots shall not be used in the preparation of stock for gumbo for it will be sweet
Tomatoes shall not be used in stock for gumbo or in gumbo because I said so
Spices, herbs or seasoning of any kind,or means and methods not approved by
Gumbo Queen disqualifies anything you make as gumbo
Gumbo is not gumbo unless I say so
Let it Be Done

Let it further be said that Gumbo Queen has a very parochial view of what constitutes good food. And she is an arse wipe!

Emeril's Duck Stock

2 Duck carcasses; (about 4 pounds)
1 tablespoon Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 cups Chopped onions
1½ cup Chopped carrots
1½ cup Chopped celery
1 Head of garlic; split in half
6 Bay leaves
1 cup Dry red wine
¼ cup Tomato paste
About 3 quarts water
10 Sprigs of fresh thyme
8 Sprigs fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
Break and crack the carcass. In a large stock pot, heat the vegetable oil. Season the bones with salt and pepper. Add the bones to the pot and brown for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and bay leaves. Season the mixture with salt. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the wine and tomato paste and stir to mix. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the water. Put the thyme, parsley sprigs, and peppercorns in a piece of cheesecloth, tie it together with kitchen twine, and add it to the mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil. Skim off any cloudy scum that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 3 hours. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and cool. Refrigerate overnight and remove any congealed fat from the surface. The stock can be stored in the freezer for 1 month.

Yield: about 6 cups

It has bay leaf, carrot and tomato. The Horror! Your gumbo will be bitter sweet. :lol:

For a different take, before you smoke the ducks remove breasts. When the gumbo is ready season breasts and grill or sear to rare. Slice breasts, place on bed of rice and ladle on gumbo.
