CJ and whyisa, you have to see the post that SG linked here!

[xsmommy]

i know what Matanza means, so that is why i asked! interesting stuff on St. Anselm. There is an excellent all boys catholic school in DC named St Anselm's Abbey, seems appropriately named.

Loved the chili thread - or the pepper thread with the chili note.........my idiot MIL judged a chili cookoff once. She bragged about being asked but we knew it was hard to find judges because most of the chili tastes like crap or is too hot to even consider eating - lol

She was ill for days afterwards......;^)

What's difference (if any) about using that process to get medium well?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Good news!

Lettuce know how the little one feels.

More searing time, cheaper meat. I would hate to cook really good meat above med-rare.

Thank you!

[Texan5]

Thanks for clarifying that Loney-Robert, do you really like your steaks medium well? I like mine barely dead...

[Robert A Cook PE]

Definitely: NOT burned on the outside, but "gray" through to the inside. But still juicy, bot bloody.

Rare (classically, I understand) means cool inside, still juicy (bloody), and well-done means burned up outside.

[CholeraJoe]

Are they War Eagles or Tigers? Can't be both.

Or Plainsmen? I'm gonna' splain this only once, as I have to many non-believers in the past. Auburn's teams are called the Tigers. Their mascot is Aubie, the tiger.

In addition, since football began they have adopted the cheer, "War Eagle!" after an event during the very first football game during which an eagle circled over the football field.

Subsequently, trained eagles, both bald and golden have been trained to fly over Jordan (pronounced Jer'-dan) Hare Stadium.

The Plainsmen nick comes from an English poet, "Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plains." Auburn, Alabama isn't on the plains. It's in the foothills of the southern Appalachians.

Furthermore, sg, they'll kick Volunteer butt again like they did before. Maybe even wear Orange Jerseys.

[CholeraJoe]

Auburn's colors are Blue and Orange. Orange Jerseys go back at least 30 years. Ordinarily Auburn wears Blue at home, White away. But for years, clutch games, at home or away, have been met with the Orange Jerseys. Seen it once in person and once on TV.

[Jemian]

Are they War Eagles or Tigers? Can't be both.

Why can't we be both? Or more? We'll be whomever and however many we want, thank you very much.

Cholera, that was a very good explanation. Toomer's Corner was a delight Saturday night and my band members returned mighty happy.

All I know is you go south 'til you smell it, then east 'til you step in it. But what the f@#$ do I know, I'm a UAB alum.

[Laura Earl]

I like mine barely dead, but still suffering.

[LonePalm]

Rare (classically, I understand) means cool inside, still juicy (bloody), and well-done means burned up outside.

Here is a good chart that shows different donenesses of steak with both pictures and temperatures.

I would like to correct a misconcepetion about meat. There is almost NO blood in red meat. Blood is hemoglobin and is found in arteries and veins. The red juice in meat is myoglobin. This is what stores energy in the muscle.

Finally, a literate explanation of the multi-mascot sitchiation. I'm not a Vol so I'll be happy if my Aggies can hold their own against the miserable teasips this week. They wear orange too. An ugly, kernicteric orange.

[secret garden]

Here's a worthy petition. Y'all sign!

[NeoCaveman]

signed

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I signed too......

[Robert A Cook PE]

Very ugly orange.

Very ugly obnoxious orange.

And it's a very ugly obnoxious orange "T" to boot!
