We've been variously described as eclectic, 'bugfuck crazy', and 'dozens of clowns' by media outlets reviewing our collective efforts. Each appellation is true to a large extent and celebrated by our editorial staff. As an unabashed supporter of our continued effort to diversify our interests and expand our readership (and earn enough Googlebucks to pay for at least one happy hour, which is the ultimate goal of Gheorghe: the Blog), I was pleased to see that we added a link to a cooking blog last week.I don't know which of our editors, stringers, or hangers-on found our new friends at Bacon, Baking and Everything, but after reading about this weekend's Dr. Pepper-based marinade, I'm glad he or she did. Our only quibble: the G:TB stylebook abbreviates refrigerator as 'fridge', as opposed to 'frig'. Chicago may beg to differ. Welcome to the bloggy linklist, Bacon, and may you continue to expand our culinary horizons.

Thanks Rob. And thanks for the add on your blog list. My next post is about making a Death Star cake.
ReplyDeleteKetchup only.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Dennis promises a better recap later in the day, but the Dead Weather can fucking bring it.
Speaking of Chicago and bacon, Illinois is seriously considering imposing an "obesity" tax. Here's my question...if they just use weight to determine obesity, they will have some problems...for instance, Brian Urlacher will likely qualify as obese. Curious to see how they work that out.
ReplyDeleteBill Swerski's Superfans will quickly go broke.
ReplyDeleteI like Harlem, who opened last night's show. At least I like their album. I'm surprised that the Teedge,a self-proclaimed classic rock rock fan, thinks they suck. I eagerly await Dennis' take on their live chops.
ReplyDeleteApparently LeBron is obese, based on his BMI. Maybe that's why he went to Miami -- no income tax AND no fat tax. Reagan is smiling in heaven, his mouth a Laffer curve.
ReplyDeleteCan we make requests from the food blog? Fat Daddy is hungry. I'd like to read more about the following culinary creations:
ReplyDelete- pulled pork barbecue (preferably pork shoulder, but Boston butt will suffice)
- inventive chili recipes (Rob cooks up a pretty good straight-up Super Bowl chili)
- crabcakes (the difference between good ones and bad ones is miles wide)
- Bloody Marys (need one now)
And TJ wants to know more about grilled cheese with the crusts cut off.
And wasn't Spunky Frog one of Dave's alter egos at one point? Could've been Snarling Frog, I can't remember.
ReplyDeleteOh, fish tacos -- I'd like to see a recipe. And then a person in a kitchen who is reading that recipe and making them for me. Tortuga's in 2 weeks.
Zman, Harlem was...ok. Their lead singer/drummer dude who looks like Jason Segel is the only redeeming part of that band.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's almost 10am and I'm still deaf from the show.
ReplyDeleteMakes for a nicer morning for you. You don't hear the people muttering about the red-eyed, boozy-smelling idiot in the office.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I still do.
ReplyDeletei may have been snarling frog. and i make the best super bowl chili. my recipe? don't brown the meat, throw everything in a crock pot, go play touch football, come back and look in the crock pot at a tub of grease, unplug crock pot and put it on shelf without cleaning it, open it two months later to find many forms of multi-colored mold and fungus growing from it, and then launch it off the third floor balcony . . . so no one nourished themselves but everyone did enjoy an old chili, ceramic and fungus explosion on the bricks below.
ReplyDeletei am going out in new brunswick tonight. who is in?
ReplyDeleteLecky? You joining Dave?
ReplyDeleteWe know how TR feels about Central Jersey, so he's definitely not in.
Igor you are so demanding. Thanks a lot. Its now 10 am and I am craving fish tacos and a margarita.
ReplyDeleteI know. I am such an aioli.
ReplyDeleteIGOR!!!!
I write like James Fenimore Cooper? And Nabokov? Really?
ReplyDeleteI know Teejay is worried about my ego getting too big, but really, guys, it's okay to tell me that my last joke was the best thing you'll hear all week.
ReplyDeleteIGOR!
ReplyDeleteigor very chirpy today. the mid-year performance review seems to have provided a kick in the arse.
ReplyDeletei don't get the aioli joke.
In defense of Central Jersey, I will say it is better than non-coastal sections of South Jersey and most sections of North Jersey.
ReplyDeleteThe rural/inbreedy/rednecky element of South Jersey is vastly misunderstood by most folks. Probably for good reason, but misunderstood nonetheless.
Nuggest pony up 5 years and $34 million for Al Harrington, a guy who is only good at scoring on bad teams when he can shoot as much as he wants.
ReplyDeleteWill be fun to watch Al and JR Smith fight for the ball with Melo. Not good for KMart's scoring average in a contract year.
'nuggest' sounds like something pauly shore would say.
ReplyDeleteFor the hell of it - Pauly Shore hammered on a morning show. http://bit.ly/cDQaO3
ReplyDeleteisn't aioli an oily garlic sauce for pasta?
ReplyDeletei don't get the joke either.
he's quick with a drink...or a real funny link, his name is Teejay, Teejay, faster than lightning!
ReplyDeletequick, mr. truck - put that to music. theme song!
ReplyDeletethere are 2 songs represented there...the first should be pretty easy to figure.
ReplyDeletethe 2nd one however, not so much - think 70's show theme-song...Hmmm?
name that tune! (no, that's not that theme song - i'm telling you to name that tune) name that tune!
No one you see
ReplyDeleteIs less sober than he!
TJ the drunken dolphin?
ReplyDeletecongratulations zman - you've just won a descendant of flipper, stuffed...
ReplyDeleteNobody got the a-hole / aioli reference? Dammit.
ReplyDeleteEither you people are a long way from your too-clever-by-half W&M roots (D-Train, you're excused from this for obvious reasons), or I'm drunk again.
i just figured it (the aioli "joke") was another one of your lambda lambda lambda fratty w&m jokes. i guess not though.
ReplyDeleteI got your cooking aioli reference. Should be good for word ass Z at OBFT. Bummed to miss it this year.
ReplyDeleteit's pronounced eye-ya-oya, so it sounds nothing like the word a-hole.
ReplyDeletesigned
a hairy jersey italian
..and yee-ro and man-a-got and all that crap. It's like those Italians have a different word for everything.
ReplyDeleteso what's their word for everything? i think it's "alldatshit"
ReplyDeletegyro is greek, pythagoras.
ReplyDeletesqueaky-- you haven't missed an obft in a while, right? sad to hear it.
ReplyDeletesqueaky and i had a mini-summit on cape cod last week. (insert mini-sized summitteer joke here.) i have his input for obft. good and welfare should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteGyro is Greek, and this is America. Americans Americanize everything here -- that's what we do because we're a-holes, or as they pronounce it in Sicily, aiolis. Americans turn S's into Z's for English words, don't roll R's in French words like repertoire, and give lazy pronunciations to anything foreign. Ellis Island and all that crap. So gyros are pronounced ji-ros here in America. And when Italian-Hungarians like yourself go ahead and insist on Old World pronunciations of dishes that don't hail from your heritage country, it makes it all the easier for lazy Americans to take it one step further and lump you all into a single ethnic epithet. Don't fall into that trap, Dave. Don't do it.
ReplyDeleteThis is PHENOMENAL http://bit.ly/bNn29v
ReplyDeleteIt's been a good small consecutive streak (pun intended) but wife has to travel for work which leaves me two options. Miss OBFT or bring our 2 year old with me. The last option would definitely put me in the running for Father of the Year.
ReplyDeletetunnel bangers - another name for men who prefer men?
ReplyDeletesaying jai-ro sounds very redneck. like japoleno peppers and rav-ee-o-lie
ReplyDeleteyes!! i am once again a "friend" of g:tb! the squeaky wheel gets the grease (truck).
ReplyDeleteI don't see Squeaky on there...
ReplyDeleteSqueaks has a blog?
ReplyDeleteNevermind...Senior Squeaks has been added, using his Twitter feed.
ReplyDeleted-train gets a shout too...
ReplyDeleteBlog, what the hell is a blog?
