That we're all on lock-down is no excuse not to buy up all the party supplies.

There's nothing like having pride in your country.

WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

I finally signed up and watched the first two episodes of the Mandalorian last night.  Enjoyable so far.

I celebrated yesterday by lightly marinating my baby loin back ribs in a little fresh lime juice and tequila for 6 hours before doing the dry rub and 4 hours in the pit barrel smoker.
Yes, they were awesome.

I am intrigued, tell me about the marinade as in quantities and such.

Hokey movies and ancient franchises are no match for a slightly more up-to-date TV comedy.

bob
pat ribs dry with paper towel. 1 lime squeezed for the juice (or bottled lime juice equivalent) and about 1oz tequila per rack, mixed together and rubbed into both sides, put in a glass baking dish with any left over marinade and cover with plastic wrap in fridge overnight or atleast for 4 hours before the dry rub. I always use some yellow mustard rubbed on before the dry rub.
You can also just use the pre mix margarita stuff if you want more sugar and salt in the pre treat. My sister did this with Costco margarita for a wetter marinade and used less dry rub and they turned out really good also.

Why is there no "Firefly" day? There needs to be a Firefly Day.

By decree, we now will being honoring Unification Day, September 20th.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I have no idea, but it's going to make for a fun weekend this year.

Why not May 11th, the beginning of the battle for Serenity Valley?

No reason to support the Alliance.

I thought you were supposed to get into a bar fight, not support them.

You mean the battle where the Alliance won?

Cinco de Cuatro translates into the Fifth of Four.  I never know when I read it whether somebody meant Cuatro de Mayo, Fourth of May.  But I've seen it before!

No, tomorrow is the day your maid shows up to work, as she ought to, because you've used up all the party supplies, so Cinco de Mayo is canceled.
