    They are certainly good fried, but there's another very popular way in Louisiana called courtboullion.

    Is this your sig? Fits in well with this post. At first I thought it was a direct quote from the Uncle Tupelo song "High Water", but then I looked up the lyrics and they are

  5. Re:Wikibooks cookbook. by KnightStalker · · Score: 1 · on Cooking with the Internet?

    I don't like the advice on the front page there... I've never successfully made a roux, their "featured recipe", and am therefore not competent to write a replacement article. Having tried, though, I believe this recipe is missing a LOT of information. For example, you have to stir it obsessively to prevent any of the flour particles from sticking to the bottom and burning. If it burns, it's all over (supposedly), and it's easy to burn it. Also, being hot AND glutinous oil, it will melt your skin if it splatters on you.

    I do like their description of garlic, though. :-)

    They're on my presets too, but I figured since KCRW webcast, people outside LA could check out what they're missing on their dials.

  8. A little ditty about Sauget, IL by bbqBrain · · Score: 2, Informative · on Monsanto and PCBs

    Sauget is a small town located just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. It has a pretty sad history, as you may have gathered from the article. One of my favorite (now-defunct) bands, Uncle Tupelo, wrote a song about it entitled "Sauget Wind." Give it a listen if you can find the MP3 anywhere. Lyrics/guitar tablature are here.

    I knew that Monsanto was responsible for the demise of Sauget, but I had never heard the full story until today. Very interesting.

  9. Ground repeaters are controversial by ChrisCampbell47 · · Score: 1 · on Satellite Radio: Tune In or Turn Off?
    The NAB is up in arms about the radio repeaters that XM and Sirius plan to use to fill out their signal in urban/multipath areas.

    See:

    And before you shit all over the idea of public service, recall that the airwaves are supposed to be public property, not to be whored out by the government to the biggest soft-money contributor. The Telecom act of 1995 changed all that, and ClearChannel and their ilk are taking advantage of the situation faster than you can say "defanged FCC".

    " the guy who kicked your fucken ass "

    If I had moderator points, I'd deal you down accordingly. Since I don't, I'll mention this:

    I think that "fucken" is becoming a word. I'm glad it is, because it rhymes with "Turducken". I also think it would work in a subjunctive mood usage context.
