This going to be a little advanced but worth the effort:

Transfer to bowl of ice water; cool. Drain. Working over large bowl to collect juices, remove claws and tails. Using knife, cut tails into 2-inch-wide pieces. Remove meat. Crack claws; remove meat. Cut bodies in half. Transfer shells and bodies to bowl with juices. Slice meat; place in small bowl. Chill. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add shallots, fennel and garlic; sauté 8 minutes. Add Madeira and tomato paste; bring to boil. Add stock, lobster shells and any juices; bring to boil.

Oh yeah, I was doing fine until my boy suggested we switch from beer to Long Islands. That bartender made them with a "splash" of coke and sour. Yikes.

Having lived around Portsmouth,NH most of my young life NH will always be in my heart, and I can say that Fall and Spring are the best seasons there.
Summer, you're dodging seagull-sized mosquitoes, and Winter, you're freezing your nads off. While I can see how the "beautiful-weather-every-day" here in Cali can get kinda boring, I love being able to go to the beach year-round. One of the students at my culinary school in Dover was from Middleton. He was the class drug-dealer btw. |

Right on Jay, I hope Dana White is paying attention because if Elite XC gets any momentum, they can take a big chunk outta his ass if they play their cards right between Showtime and CBS.

White Castle is like crack.
When I drove across the country we stopped in Michigan just for some White Castle. Got a big ass bag of the little bastards and just went to town. Now I love sliders, and they are wicked easy to make at home. |

Aaaaand the final 16 are:
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHTS Krzysztof Soszynski Jules Bruchez Vinny Magalhaes Karn Grigoryan Elliot Marshall Ryan Bader Shane Primm Tom Lawlor LIGHTWEIGHTS Dave Kaplan Phillipe Nover Brian McLaughlin Junie Browning Shane Nelson George Roop Efrain Escudero John Polakowski Drop your knowledge here on who's going to hand out some beatings and who's going to just get beat up. Too bad abut Lance Evans, Rashad's li'l bro, getting hurt. And looking at the preview, whats up with dumbasses getting in trouble before they're even on a damn team. And on a personal note: I reeeealy hope Joe Lauzon (or J-Lo if you're retarded) gets knocked the f*ck out tomorrow. |

Meh, the Pats have always had trouble with Miami.
Even when we were steamrolling teams that were waaaay better than the Dolphins, we would still have trouble with them. |

Easy Desserts?

Sharing is caring!
Anywho, you want a wicked easy/tasty dessert? Make mini trifles. A bowl, a whisk, some cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and make some bangin whipped cream. Then take some large wine glasses and put some pound cake on the bottom, soak bit of rum into the cake then pile on some fresh fruit (I recommend pineapple rubbed with some brown sugar) and top with the fresh whipped cream. Done. |
