QUOTE (shipps @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:32 AM) The asparagus has to go directly on the grill IMO, no tinfoil. Get a nice char on it. Agreed. I also like to grill peppers, onions, zucchini etc right on there for a nice mixed grill side.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:23 AM) A couple quick grilling recipes that I like and use often: Pork chops with McCormick Steak and Chop seasoning, this stuff is amazing on pork. Just make sure you don't over cook the pork chop, it's ok for it to be rare and is so much better. Fajita chicken: In a gallon ziplock, combine lemon juice, fresh garlic, some salt and a bit of water (to dilute the juice a bit), shake well and then add chicken breast (chicken should be covered by the mixture). Let it marinade overnight, then grill the next day. The chicken will be super juicy and flavorfull, goes great with grilled onions/peppers on tortillas. Nothing was more revolutionary with pork than when it became ok for the inside to be pink. It completely changed the way it was severed and tasted.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:10 AM) Not just hindsight, everyone thought it was a mistake when it was announced. (Even you do if you scroll back a few pages ) It's not gonna ruin his legacy, but there's definitely gonna be a "what if" feeling if they don't win the next two. Oh yeah we all hated it. There were some trading deadline issues as well that we missed on and of course the injury/lack of depth at D is the biggest glaring weakness. Still the Hawks are in a position to force a game 7 and make the cup finals yet again, cant ask for much more than that when you are a fan.

So as a beginner griller, its all about practice. Quick tips that I see beginner grillers always mess up: 1. Let the grill pre-heat. Light it and wait for it to get up to temp. You dont want to throw meat onto a lukewarm grill, ever. The main draw of grilling is that nice char that seals in the flavor. Wait 15 min. 2. Dont flip the meat or whatever until it tells you its ready to be flipped. Most pieces of meat will char and release itself from the grates when its ready to flip. If you are peeling raw meat off to flip it over, your've already lost. 3. Flip meat once if possible. I actually touch my burger/steaks etc 4 times total if I am doing it right. I move it 90 degrees to get the criss cross grills marks, then I flip when its ready, then another 90 degrees. Thats MAX. If you want medium or medium rare, dont be afraid to char both sides, take it off and let it rest. Also invest in a meat thermometer. It will save you at times. 4. Always keep a spare propane tank handy. You'll always run out during a party, count on it. 5. Take care of your grill. Clean it when you are done and before you start cooking. Occcasionally empty out the grease trap and wipe the inside. Cover it if you can. If you treat it well it will last longer than it should. Personally I use a Weber grill that I love and I want to keep it around for awhile because it cooks like a mad man. 6. Get a set of grill tools so you are prepared. This should include a nice set of tongs, spatula, grill brush, maybe a fork and knife. I'll have to think of some more but thats the basics how I see it. If I have time ill get to cooking individual items like fish. I grill year round because its the best form of cooking IMO.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 26, 2015 -> 08:28 AM) Not saying they would of won game 3, but sitting Vermette and Teuvo that game might have been the worst coaching decision Q has ever made. It was bad, but even some of the best ever make mistakes. It clearly was one in hindsight.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 25, 2015 -> 11:08 PM) Going to be real hard to win 2 straight. Eh maybe. Pretty sure this is going 7 though.

Bad rebound. Bad line change.

The game is slowing down for TT

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 24, 2015 -> 12:23 AM) Crazy game and a definite must win. Phew. Heart almost exploded during that TT to Sharp breakaway. Versteeg doesn't have the vision to make that pass. Please keep TT and Vermette in there. TVR over Timmonen would be cool for Game 5 Sharp has to be better. He's kind of invisible.

The faceoff percentage was ridiculous. Oh and let's keep this lineup. TT looked real good.

Great win.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 23, 2015 -> 07:55 PM) awful shift from hjalmarson - two terrible turnovers, one that lead directly to that goal He was dead after the PK. They needed to clear badly.

Cool, later.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ May 22, 2015 -> 08:06 AM) I don't think it's so much about "working hard", it's more about the actual skill that's required to be able to do the job properly. Most minimum wage jobs can be filled by the average teenager with less than 1 week of training. In many cases the employees can be replaced by computer screens. Like the self-checkouts that a lot of stores are going to now. I've read that Mcdonalds is testing out self-ordering stations as well. Self ordering at McDonalds would be good and bad. Some of the customers are morons. I work with several large fast food organizations to expedite and improve user experience. Chik-Fil-A, Domino's and Yum brands for example have launched enhanced mobile ordering systems that allow for payment and expedited pick up. I think thats step one.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 22, 2015 -> 07:57 AM) You really can't blame management because if they didn't do anything, they would be getting the same beef right now. The moves just haven't really worked out. I loved the Vermette move because he's solid at the dot and defensively, but I hated the Timmonen move. I would of much rather went after Jeff Petry Landing Kesler would have been the homerun move, but we didnt win that battle.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 22, 2015 -> 05:26 AM) I'd also be hard pressed to say McDonalds employees don't work hard. Those lunch rushes are a b**** to work. I've worked in customer service for 20 years and never in food service and I will keep it that way. It's brainless unskilled work. It's really not hard at all. I worked at Subway and it was a joke.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 22, 2015 -> 01:28 AM) I don't understand what Nordstrom brings to the table. He isn't a fast skater, he isn't physical, and doesn't do anything particularly well, at all. I can almost understand Versteeg, but I still think Teuvo is the better option. Management isn't looking solid right now. You blew a 1st on Vermette who has been a scratch multiple times this season and in the playoffs, and Timmonen legit can't skate anymore. I've liked what Desjardins has brought to the table, but he's a 4th line role player. Not good. Vermette at least wins a s***load of face offs. I haven't seen the Hawks skate directly into each other as much as they did last night. It was like watching a game at Johnnies.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 21, 2015 -> 09:53 PM) Never thought Boudreau would out coach Q. This one is going 7 games Their neutral zone defense was amazing.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 21, 2015 -> 09:35 PM) My personal favorite was the Tennessee congresswoman who explained how $2.15 an hour was fine for her while in school and when you adjusted for inflation that came to between $12 and $14.50 an hour. I made 5.25 in 1999-2003 as a food worker. I made only tips when I bartended.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 21, 2015 -> 09:51 PM) Calling Toews are u even playing? Yeah he's not the issue. Kaner hits the post and it's over. f***.

I think Andersen being so ridiculous is in their heads.

Nobody in front. Uninspired performance.

Anaheim flat out out schemed the Hawks tonight.

Completely disorganized. Running into each other. On top of that Andersen is red f***ing hot.

The amount of holding going on to slow down the Hawks has reached hilarious levels.
