Lord of The Curry

Mik- How the shit haven't you heard Put On? That song was everywhere during the summer.

Back when Nightcrawler debuted in X2 there was buzz that we'd see a spin-off from him but with the way Alan Cumming left the series I don't see him reprising the role.

Ooops.

Jones beat Calzaghe? Lollers.

Ended up doing some chicken breast strips sauteed in olive oil with some seasoning and the rice I had with a salad and crusty bread. She loved it. Thanks VX and Agent for the ideas, I'll look this thread up when I'm cooking for her again.

I haven't chilled with bacon in a while and Rudo is kinda MIA these days, board-wise. Back when we posted in the WWE folder yeah, certain threads/posters were mentioned.

Rudo and cbacon would be the only two for me. I have conversed with Lei Tong and YPOV once in the past.

VX, Tong, Agent, Kinetic, mellow all seems like fun dudes. Okay, not really for Tong but like he said we'd get hammered and watch fights.

Very much agreed on Hellboy 2 being a huge letdown. Way too creature-happy with a hokey plot and too much focus on Liz/Hellboy's relationship.

Sounds like she's into healthy stuff... try to get stuff that's seasonal/local/organic if at all possible. That might impress her, especially if she's doing the whole gluten-free thing for no apparent reason- really the only reason to do this is if you have celiac disease or a wheat allergy, which 98% of people don't have, yet because it's in health food stores people assume it's healthy... I don't think I'd take Lei Tong's suggestion- Mexican food sucks without the spice and you just mentioned she's not a huge fan. Plus, come on, beans? For a dinner date? Never, EVER a good idea. Tell me more about what you've got in your fridge and the sort of rice you have, and I can tell you what you can do. If she enjoys rice, some sort of risotto would actually wow her quite a bit, something garlicky and creamy and not too hard to make, and you can make it in a variety of ways. As for the red-wine vinegar, you're in luck! That's exactly what I use for my vinaigrette.. This is my recipe: 1 part vinegar, 2-3 parts olive oil, 1 part honey, and 1 part dijon mustard. I'll say use about a teaspoon for each thing, but if you want to have a lot of salad between you guys and a good amount of dressing, you can use a tablespoon of each, but it might be a bit much. Mix the vinegar, honey, and dijon mustard first in a very small bowl, hell anything you can pour the dressing out of. Then, keep stirring and pour in the olive oil (extra virgin of course) slowly, like at a drizzle, which will allow the fats to emulsify and get all yummy and up in the vinaigrette. Also by 3 course, I assume you mean appetizer/soup/salad then entree then dessert? For dessert, you might want to look into getting a nice dessert wine like a sherry or something equally sweet but inexpensive- this has the added benefit of alcohol and it works as an aperitif for after the meal. In terms of rice I've got some long grain/brown combo stuff. I'm gonna for sure do a salad with some bread then the entree/dessert.

She actually wanted to go to a Mexican place joint when we left her place but seeing as how it'd have been my first meal of the day on a very raw stomach I declined.

Knox getting frozen to death? FUCK.THAT. I'm kinda happy that at least before he died we got one final uber-cheesy "Afraid" lines from him.

Shitty news for Bader as MMAJunkie is saying he could be on the shelf for 6 months due to an injury to his right hand.

No matter. Rampage has still not solved how to beat somebody in the clinch and that's where Wand's gonna kill him....again.

Rampage/Silva ain't heading to a decisions. Either 'Page solves Wandy and pounds out a TKO or Wand ends the trilogy in brutal fashion. (Which he will)

So the girl I'm seeing right now is coming back to my place for dinner tomorrow after our day out. Now, I'm not helpless when it comes to cooking but I want to make a solid 3-course meal for her and maybe even some dessert if it'd be simple enough. Nothing involving me getting laid is riding on this but her previous boyfriend didn't cook for shit so I want this to be nice but not fancy, lest it seem I'm trying too hard the first time. A few primers on the gal in question.... - Doesn't eat seafood. Like, none. - Not a huge fan of spicy food - Enjoys rice - Is trying to eat gluten-free stuff lately Any help on something not too complex/pricey would be appreciated. Oh, I also found a bottle of red-wine vinegar I bought on impulse a while back and haven't used yet. Can I make some kind of dressing out of it?

Overeem/Kharitonov III: Because Nobody Asked For It

Thanks At Home for reminding me how awesome Iron Man was. Seriously, that movie was the shit. Also way to spoil BAR for those who actually wanted to see it.

Gears 2 FTW.

"It looks okay" Understatement of the fucking year. That shit looked amazing.

Yeah, in terms of "Big 3" match-ups this is probably the most stacked card they have done in a long time. Quick predictions.... Silva, Death R2 Nog, TKO R2 Forrest, DEC

With all the gay marriage stuff going on in CA I can for sure not only see Milk getting nominated but winning. Best Picture, Director and Actor are a lock for nods and I wouldn't be surprised to see Franco getting one for supporting.

Much like most of you I thought Junie showed a serious improvement compared to the show but Kaplan sucks so I'll wait until Junie fights somebody that presents a challenge before saying anything. Go Bader. He was one of the coolest guys on the show and I figured if he kept it standing he could put Vinny away. Not sure if it says something for Bader's power that he caught him with a glancing shot or just that Vinny has a shit chin. Johnson looked very solid and that KO is going to make some lists come year-end. I stayed over at my parents place tonight because of a family thing today and when I came downstairs for breakfast my dad's first words were "So....pretty good head kick last night" as it was one of the Highlights of The Night on TSN. Tong hit the nail on the head, once Efrain rocked Phillipe he looked and moved differently. I didn't think Phillipe would steamroll him or anything but I did pick him to win so huge, huge props to Efrain for improving his game.

"Man, I hope Chuck's alright. That was a good shot." MMA Understatement of The Year.

I didn't see the first fight admittedly. If the eye poke hadn't happened how would the fight have likely turned out?
