Has the Eyjafjallajökull spoken again? Is it safe? Did you manage to save all beer bottles? Questions upon questions.

Minnesota North Stars Zamboni Blues

Johnny's in the nets, fendin' off the backhand,
I'm playin' center, learnin' how to skate again,
Man drop the puck down,
jump back, spin around
Says he is an ex-clown
Wants a ride downtown
Look out kids, your off sides again
Better freeze the puck,
high stick your best friend
Man in a trench coat behind the glass
wants 11 dollar bill
your only got a seat at the end

No doubt >>> Hijacker's Scallops = Savory Scallops with Ham and Bacon

1/4 cup chopped bacon, about 4 slices
1/4 cup minced ham
2 green onions, thinly sliced, optional
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon hot sauce
12 ounces fresh or frozen scallops, thawed
3 tablespoons water, or the liquid from thawed scallops
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley


Fry bacon slowly in heavy skillet with tight fitting lid. Add ham and onion; cook until lightly browned. Sprinkle with salt, flour and hot sauce; do not stir. Simmer until flour is absorbed in fat. Add thawed scallops to skillet; stir gently to mix. cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice to scallop juice or water; add with parsley to scallop mixture. Stir; turn off heat. Continue stirring over the warm burner until sauce covers each scallop.

Matzo Balls Meet Bacon At Top Chef's Restaurant

Quote

At his restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, Top Chef Ilan Hall is wrapping a piece of bacon around a traditional matzo ball.

"It's a pretty simple recipe, except in place of vegetable oil, we use either rendered bacon fat or lard," he tells Weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz. "The pork fat makes it incredibly fluffy."

Since winning the reality show Top Chef, Hall has become famous for dishes that meld Scottish and Jewish cuisine.

"My mother's from Israel and my father is from Scotland — both Jewish," he says. "When you really want to make your best food, you need to go back to your roots."

Hmmm. Anybody have a recipe for Scottish homemade Tennessee corn liquor and Irish potatoes?

Well I'm a Zamboni baby
I wanna scrape all over you
Yes I'm a Zamboni for your love, babe
I'd like nothing better than to scrape all over you
I'm gonna ice your soul with some sweet rock & roll
And sweep you full of rhythm and blues

Speaking of 3NT down 9, once at junior camp playing in central park, someone opened 1NT (two non-touching suits). I doubled. His partner bid 3NT. It came back to me. I doubled, and it was redoubled. -9.

Quite normal contract at the rubber beach bridge in my college times. Sun, beer, and look at the bikini-girls around us had enormous influence on the level of the play heh.

A bridge post is really too close to on-topic to be considered off-topic. But, as this thread is for off-topic topics and an on-topic topic would be about as off-topic as a topic could be in an off-topic thread...then....well...

carry on.
