In celebration of a perfect southern spring Saturday, my recipe for perfect pancakes:
Dry ingredients:
1 C flour
2 t baking powder
3 T brown sugar
1/2 t salt
Wet Ingredients:
1 to 1.25 C heavy cream
2 T butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 egg
Directions:
Set cream out to come up to room temperature, about 15-20 minutes. If you double or triple the recipe for larger occasions, allow more time. This prevents the butter from congealing when you combine.
Combine wet ingredients and mix gently until egg is broken up.
Sift dry ingredients together. Use a wire wisk to break up clumps of brown sugar.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, and GENTLY fold until the dry ingredients are all moist. Do not beat or pancakes will be tough.
Grease your griddle pan, and drop dollops from a mixing spoon. When edges start to dry, flip.
Makes about a dozen pancakes. Adjust amounts according to how many you want.
If you wimp out and use milk, reduce amount to about 3/4 cup.

You know, I didn’t get any venison this year. Was only able to get in the woods three or four times and was unlucky.

Bummer. I had less than my typical success, too, and I hunted pretty hard.

What do you use? I’ve got a Savage .270.
I would’ve gone more; but living by myself I don’t need as much meat and the schoolwork was pretty heavy during hunting season. I’ll probably go turkey hunting a lot later in the spring.

Heh. Interesting. My favorite deer rifle is a Savage (Model 110) .270. It predates the adjustable trigger that Savage added, so I replaced the trigger with a fancy one and put on a Leupold Gold Ring 4-12x scope. It’s not pretty, but I love the way it shoots.
I suck at turkey hunting.

this is why i have an awesome dad. I just show up at his house and he gives me boo koo amounts of venison (sausage, steaks and ground venison oh my!)

Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
OK, so I’m giving in and watching the NCAAs until the Preds game. Something about it, whether you like basketball or not (and I really don’t) draws you in.
What have I missed in the first two days? Does anyone have a scouting report on Ohio?

The only thing I know about Ohio is that they busted my bracket to high heaven. So, look out?
I don’t pay attention to basketball any other time of the year, really, but there’s something about the format of this tournament that’s so inherently appealing.
Usually I sign in cursive, but I can't find the button for it.

My recommendation for basketball is to watch everything but the ball. See the movement and how the plays develop, pretty soon you’ll have an idea of where the screens are going to come from and who’s going to shoot, just based on the other eight guys.

All I know is you need a Keurig Coffee maker to start….Then get the Double Black Diamond K-Cups…Its a legal acceptable substitute for Crack
I ain't a playa, I just Puck alot
Keurig FTW
I’m a fan of the Dark Magic blend from Green Mountain (?), I believe. It came in our starter pack, and I buy it at bed bath and beyond. Odd place to buy coffee.

Cappucino, vanilla. We bought some mix from them and it’s great. Not sure precisely what’s in it and in what amounts though.

Disclaimer – I don’t drink coffee. I’ve never liked it. However, my other half loves it.
We visited a farm called Greenwell Farms last year while we were on the Big island along with my sister who is also a coffee drinker. They both raved about the coffee. My wife loves the Chocolate Macadamia Nut. I ordered her some beans for Christmas.

Got some money to drop (I ask because the stuff is $50 a pound)? Grab a quarter pound of Jamaica Blue Mountain. Grind it coarsely and perform a French Press with it. Utterly and absolutely delicious. Got some for my birthday last year and I’m eagerly awaiting my next chance to drink some.

Ok so I definitely had a dream last night that my best guy friend picked up a part-time job at my local Target in the “food court” (even though we just have a starbucks and a small eatery – this was a full on food court). So we all went to visit him at work, and Jeff Schultz was his co-worker. It was so bizarre. I kept asking him why he needed to work at Target and he would just smile and not speak. Very weird.

awesome. We need to keep track of these dreams.

I wouldn’t go that far BP. I can’t watch that league until the summer when I don’t have any other choice. Luckily, this summer I only really have to pay attention for a month and a half courtesy of my second favorite sporting event.

If my choices are EPL, La Liga, Serie A, or MLS which one you think I’m going to choose?
MLS gets a look in every once in awhile in the dead of summer when whatever baseball or WNBA game on TV sucks. If its DC United I’m much more likely to watch.

dude
No way I’m watching MLS when I can watch Chelsea or Man U.
You can bet I’ll be transfixed to the TV this summer, though. My dad grew up in Brazil, so futbol holds a special place.

I don’t think any of us are abandoning watching European soccer for American soccer, though it’s nice to have American soccer games to go to.

Which makes sense if you live in a city with an MLS squad. Chris & I however do not. This makes it even harder to get into watching MLS, at least for me.
"You ever use smelling salts, every time you type a bad blog?" Brooks Laich
right
Other than Team USA and to a lesser extent Brazil, I have no rooting interest at all.

Futbol tangent – BP, I’m going to be in Mid-Atlantic right in the middle of the World Cup this year. Any good places to watch games?
"You ever use smelling salts, every time you type a bad blog?" Brooks Laich
If you’re in the District or Surrounding, Molly Malone’s or Summer’s are easy picks, anywhere outside of that, the Fado’s cain or Nevada Smith’s (if you’re around NY) should be good ones to take in a game.

Strasburg and Storen sent to AA Harrisburg. On the upside, it means one could potentially watch Strasburg and Storen pitch in the afternoon, and a Hershey playoff game in the evening.

This is kind of a double downer. I kind of wanted to see Strasburg start with the Nats. If not the Nats I wanted him to spend some time at Potomac first so it might be possible to see him locally. Sounds like his spring convinced him that high A was cruel and unusual punishment for the Carolina League.
erskine has scored...now i can die in peace
Let the boys go down to the minors and gain some confidence against the minor leaguers and then come up.
Did anyone notice that both Strasburg and Storen have German surnames (as does Ryan Zimmerman and the injured Jordan Zimmerman)?
An influx of German power pitching (and power hitting by Ryan Zimmerman) for the Nationals. The name Zimmerman means carpenter in case any one’s interested.

Anyone watching the game at RFD tonight? I will be there celebrating my gf’s birthday.

I’ll be at Glory Days in Bowie tonight.
My dad had to have his sewer pipe rerun under the house over the winter. We’ve been waiting until it was warm enough to prime and paint to replace the sink since the room needs it anyway and I don’t want to have to do the plumbing twice. So today, we pulled down the wallpaper in the room, and the sheetrock was mildewed all the way around the room. We’re having to tear out all the sheetrock up to 2’ off the floor and replace it, which means moving the toilet again too and replacing all the casing as well. Lord what a pain.
Replacing the casing is okay – we thought that might happen since we need to re-tile the floor too – but we didn’t think we were going to have to do all the sheetrock.
However, i must saying that there’s something inherently satisfying about taking a claw hammer to drywall. That was entirely too much fun.
