Anyone play Immaculate Grid? It's a [sports]ref game, and they just added ability to login so you can track your stats if you're a nerd like me. There are versions for baseball, football, and some others too.

I was surprised to see Harden is my most used player. I guess for a high-profile, easy-to-recall player he really has played at a bunch of spots (OKC, Houston, Brooklyn, Philly, LAC). There are better plays out there, but **** me if I can accurately remember all the teams Jeff Green and Trevor Ariza played for.

Is there an app? Or only via web?

Web only unfortunately. I hope that's next up. I've been holding out hope it gets popular enough that NYT buys it and builds it into their games app

Last day of work today. I didn't bother going into the office, no one goes in on Friday anyway. I received a bar code I printed out. Take my equipment to FedEx with the bar code and that's it. I don't have to pack anything up. I'm going to sign off forever right before the Badger game at 1:30. Through friends/connections I've been approached about a couple of opportunities and while they seem somewhat interesting I doubt I'll look further into them. At the very least I'm going to enjoy my first summer off since school. Spring too. Maybe I'll rethink things in the fall but I doubt it. It's kind of surreal.

Very jealous of you. I am unable to do that with kids in daycare and whatnot. But the idea of not having work looming in the back of my head. Countless emails, meetings, garbage politics, whatever....man I want that stress free life. Enjoy it my man! You deserve it!

I'm (hopefully) not too far behind you.

I know I'm preaching to choir and I'm 20 years behind, but man, induction ranges are so nice. I've got an old crappy electric stove in my apartment but I bought one of those little induction burners this winter thinking I would use it on my porch, but I've ended up just putting it on top of my stove and using it nightly for everything.

I made an absolute metric fu*k ton of stock today in three stock pots. When it was done I consolidated all the solids into one pot and topped it off. Gonna run it all night and eventually turn it into demi. The first time around the stock pots took over an hour to come to boil before I simmered them the rest of the way. My little induction burner brought this latest pot up to boil in about five minutes.

18 quarts of stock. First time attempting it. I know it gets easy but I botched the hell out of my first attempt.

Congrats. More time to spend on real general manager dot com now imo. Send post.

This concudes my chonestown impression.

I've always wanted to love a white negroni but couldn't get there for some reason. It's Lillet Blanc (delicious), Suze (very polarizing, very bitter, very grassy), and gin. I love bitter things, but it was too much for me. But I've wanted to make some combo work in there.

I tried Lillet, Suze, and sparkling wine in form of a spritz. And hot damn, it's perfect. It's exactly what I wanted a white negroni to be for me - and maybe even better, as now it's a nice low ABV option which I always like to have in my back pocket. Calling this a French Spritz (Lillet and Suze are french apertifs).

Lillet Blanc: 2oz
Suze: .5oz
Sparkling wine: 2oz
1 orange wheel
Stir with ice in the glass you're serving in

Cannot get behind caning no way no how will not be providing links to a shared video site either sorry.

[ReasonablySober]

Don't know how anyone else feels about sloppy joes (we called them BBQs in our house) but man they're so satisfying when that's what you want. I probably shared this one before but

I would have preferred to make the ones my mom made growing up but she always tells me she didn't have a recipe and just threw **** in the pot.

But the ones in the recipe are really good. Made a triple batch tonight with the last two quarts of chicken stock I had from last weekend.
