Watch out ordering a long island iced tea on the strip in Vegas, they sometimes charge each shot as a seperate drink. I like Mesa Grill but that drink is not worth $50!

$50 LIIT is robbery imo.

 

Ever seen anyone bring a flask to a restaurant to save $ on drinks by bringing their own?

In the old days such mistreatment of customers would not have been tolerated.

1 month is clearly too short, I think 2 months or perhaps 8 weeks is a good over/under.

I think gaining 15 posts a day on inquiry for you is pretty reasonable, which would translate into ~1 month.

I was trying to influence the line so I could take the over all by myself :(

I just saw the Apple iPad presentation online. Steve Jobs looks like someone who thinks he'd hypnotized the whole audience. "wow look, if I want to open an article I just touch it" "wow look there's a little progress bar when I am searching through my album". Seriously? this is what revolutionary means nowadays? of course progress is harder and harder but could we be a little more dramatic? the last revolutionary feature they added to the iPhone was copy pasting, so I guess I should know better. what would be adding flash? a touch of divine genius? his whole presentation seemed to be based on the notion that the iPad is so much cooler than any laptop, but I dunno, at least on my laptop I can access my hard drive? nah we don't need that. we need chocolate toys. a nice advantage that I see is that it has great battery life (10 hours) and that it's much lighter than any laptop. so why not say something that makes sense?

lol Mutu was caught doping. there has always been a serious debate about Mutu who was clearly the most talented Romanian (offensive) player in the last 10 years but really annoying and not a great team player by any means. Well now him being caught again taking drugs will settle matters. A good part of our country actually felt bad for him after the cocaine incident and the Chelsea FC lawsuits but I don't see anything of the sort now.

This video (not from the iPad presentation, but the previous one) is quite awesome:

This thread is a great idea.

 

With that said, Santa got me a wok for Christmas. I know a lot of you are baller cooks with some baller recipes (paging Hrothgar). Aside from the obvious idea of throwing a bunch of meat and veggies into hot oil and stirfrying with sauce and such, does anyone have any recommendations of ideas or recipes or pro tips or anything I might find useful?

 

I've never used a wok, and my parents never used woks, so I'm more or less going by instinct.

 

In fact, I may start another "what should i do for dinner this weekend" thread, with the wok as the central focus of my plans.

 

Please respond.

Had my first wok fire the other night. I guess it was too hot when I added some oil to start cooking.

 

You'll be happy to know that all the smoke detectors in my house work perfectly well.

In before jlall forgets to log out of jlall before posting

Different browsers obv, though it's possible I post on IE by accident I guess.

Your problem solving skills >> mine

Don't sell yourself short - you're the one who came up with the method to test all the fire alarms simultaneously.

 

Btw, wok spelled backwards is KOW. Mooooooo.
