Uh oh - Randy is going to have a serious legal abttle on his hands if using this goes against the "International and Pan-American Copyright Conventions".

I just really wanted to take a stab at posting a good long message. And it's a good one, too. Also, I figure since chapter one of The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists is readily available online elsewhere, I shouldn't have to worry too much about wazzing off the copyright police. Now someone just needs to reply to it, reposting the entire message, and we shold be square.

Oh, you mean when it comes up in Beer: A Conversation? I'm sure there's a precedent somewhere. Probably it'll just be "chapter one of The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists was then posted here", which is still a nice free plug for Gideon Defoe.

No, I didn't do that ... but it reminds me of something I did way back in Catholic school.Third grade, I believe. We had to do some sort of Washington's Birthday/ Lincoln's birthday thing where we traced their portraits. My teacher was fond of taping our artwork to the windows of our classroom, since our walls were mostly blackboard. I noticed that on sunny days, the backs of whatever was up there lit up. Kind of like an X-ray. In my picture of Mr. Lincoln, the bullet hole in his skull was cleary visible when the sun was out. As were the nails that held Mr. Washington's teeth in.

City Ham
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 6 hours
Yield: 10 to 15 portions, depending
1 city style (brined) ham, hock end*
1/4 cup brown mustard
2 cups dark brown sugar
1-ounce bourbon (poured into a spritz bottle)
2 cups crushed ginger snap cookies Heat oven to 250 degrees F. Remove ham from bag, rinse and drain thoroughly. Place ham, cut side down, in a roasting pan. Using a small paring knife or clean utility knife set to the smallest blade setting, score the ham from bottom to top, spiraling clockwise as you cut. (If you're using a paring knife, be careful to only cut through the skin and first few layers of fat). Rotate the ham after each cut so that the scores are no more than 2-inches across. Once you've made it all the way around, move the knife to the other hand and repeat, spiraling counter clockwise. The aim is to create a diamond pattern all over the ham. (Don't worry too much about precision here.) Tent the ham with heavy duty foil, insert a thermometer, and cook for 3 to 4 hours or until the internal temperature at the deepest part of the meat registers 130 degrees F. Remove and use tongs to pull away the diamonds of skin and any sheets of fat that come off with them. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Dab dry with paper towels, then brush on a liberal coat of mustard, using either a basting brush or a clean paint brush (clean as in never-touched paint). Sprinkle on brown sugar, packing loosely as you go until the ham is coated. Spritz this layer lightly with bourbon, then loosely pack on as much of the crushed cookies as you can. Insert the thermometer (don't use the old hole) and return to the oven (uncovered). Cook until interior temperature reaches 140 degrees F, approximately 1 hour. Let the roast rest for 1/2 hour before carving. *Cook's note: A city ham is basically any brined ham that's packed in a plastic bag, held in a refrigerated case and marked "ready to cook", "partially cooked" or "ready to serve". Better city hams are also labeled "ham in natural juices".
It is so far from sucking!!! [This message has been edited by randymar (edited Feb-01-2006).]

Does Senior Tortuga not cook very often? I do nearly all the cooking in my house (or, as I learned to call it in the restaurant biz, slinging disgust).

I got my first condom from Magic Hat. I forget what's beneath the caps, though...

By the way LT: I've been reading over Beer: A Conversation, and I feel comfortable admitting, now, that it's completely true: my laces were in fact whacking my head.

Yeah, that's pretty close actually. Then I "tutted", took a sip of my Coors Light/SNCA, and returned to my Pirate! book, (while simultaneously trying to hide the cover from the sexy collegiate chick at the other end of the bar drinking La Chouffe and reading Ulysses).

In my world, she's drinking Jack & Coke, and pulls a dog-eared copy of "Lap Dancing for Dummies" out of her messenger bag.

Well as a lesbian bike rider, I can get away with stuff like this.
