Athomeboy, I'm very sorry that your daughter is so sick.

 

 

BigEdWalsh, thanks a lot. I have Kenny Loggins in my head now.

 

 

Wow. 104 is close to the danger zone.

 

Kids go higher. My oldest one does the same thing.

My normal temp is like 96 or 97 - lower than normal.

 

Rarely have I been sick enough to go over 100, let alone 104. Yikes.

Kids go higher. My oldest one does the same thing.

 

indeed kids do go higher and it is scary. My daughter flirted with 106 when she was 2 and we were on a vacation.

 

Within a day of getting her temperature down it was like it never happened.

Wow. 104 is close to the danger zone.

She's been that way her entire life. It freaked me out when she was a baby. But, we've found out that Motrin drive the temp down pretty quickly to an acceptable level (100-102)

The scariest moment I ever had was she was not even a year old, and she slept through the night in her crib... which she NEVER did. I went in to check on her and she was smoking hot. Her temp was 105. Freaked the hell out of me. It ends up she had Hand-foot-mouth disease. She had a temp for 4 days.

I'm watching a show on History about Nazi Germany, and I can't stand the way they pronounce reich.

Someone just recently pointed out to me that Hitler was Austrian. I never would have thought that, Austrians seem harmless.

Most are, but from experience some of the biggest assholes Ive met were in Austria.

Yeah, he was a Corporal in the Austrian Army in WWI.

 

I think he also won the Iron Cross First Class, and was 25% Jewish, but I might be wrong about those two points.

Yes, Hitler did earn the 2nd and 1st class iron cross during WWI.

 

His "racial" background has been a matter of historical debate for a long time. His DNA has been tested and does suggest some general relationship to Jewish origins...but in Europe, what group of people you call "Jewish" is a fairly open question. Some people have argued that one of his grandfathers was jewish. I'll leave answering that to others.

Is it possible to grill badly? Over the last few weeks, I've been doing a lot of it. There has been chicken, steak, cheeseburgers, brats, polish sausage, etc. We have a bunch of seasonings and spices so I kind of just sift through them right before I grill and choose a random assortment that I think will go well with whichever food I'm making. And every single time, the food has been just delicious. I feel like I can just close my eyes and grab a handful of seasonings and it will still be good.

 

One thing that I've done each time is use lemon juice (one of those little plastic lemon-shaped bottles). I'll give each item a few squeezes of lemon juice. It doesn't add too much in the way of flavor, but it seems to keep everything very juicy.

Absolutely.

 

Luckily, it's in a man's genetics to be a grillmaster. Meat over fire. It's just right.

When you get the superhigh fevers, you can combine tylenol and motrin. It works really well.

He narrowly avoided dying in WWI.

Ha, that's how I am when I cook. Just grab 5 seasonings that sounds good at the time and wing it. It usually turns out great, unfortunately I can never replicate the recipe for people that ask.

 

Invest in some cajun seasoning if you don't have any - that stuff is good on anything.

Definitely, buy that Greco (not sure on hte name) brand where you get like 24oz for $4 ($3 on sale), that stuff is great.

 

Next time you make burgers, cover both sides of them with this stuff before grilling, then add some grilled onions, slicing blue cheese, and other toppings you prefer. That stuff makes some of the tastiest, juiciest burgers.

Christ on a cracker, I am starving now. That sounds amazing. Now I need to go pickup one of those bleu cheese-infused fresh patties from a deli and fire up the grill tonight.

Some people get it, some people don't. I'm happy to be in the first category.

There's something really weird about this sentence. I just got a mental image of a person eating Jesus.

I'm pretty sure that "a mental image of a person eating Jesus" is one of the Holy Sacraments.

Only if you're Catholic afaik

Last year I put a baby bell mozzarella cheese ball in the middle of my burger and grilled it. It was the best thing i've ever done.

You...you're a Minnesota fan!

I didn't claim it was original, but the use of babybell actually created a stretchy cheese in the middle rather than a melted goopy mess. It was the most perfect thing anyone has ever created. We all may kill ourselves.
