What are your plans for draft night?

[boater]

I have to wake at 5 to be at work at 6. So I won't be awake past 9, draft or not. This sexagenarian needs his 8 hours of sleep.

[PromoTheRobot]

Watch hockey.

[ExiledInIllinois]

Nothing. 

[Augie]

If we draft somebody, and nobody bashes him on this board, I will burn my couch on the street. 

[In Summary]

Monitoring TBD reactions and Cover 1 coverage.

[BritBill]

I'll go to bed and record the draft from when the picks start being made and will catch up with it Friday morning as luck would have it, I'm working from home. 

 

With the Bills due to pick so late I'm not staying awake until around 5am only for them to move down into the second round and I've had a sleepless night. 

[ExWNYer]

Going to dinner with a couple of buddies from around 6-8. Will listen to the start of the draft on the ride home and then park my arse on the couch until the Bills either pick or trade out of #27.

The biggest tips I can give first-time pizza makers is:

 

1) Make sure the oven rack the pizza tray is placed on is in the center of the oven. Pizzas are supposed to cook from the top down AND the bottom up.

 

2) Use semolina or cornmeal (little dry ball bearings) OR Crisco shortening on the bottom of the dough to make it easier to separate from the pan.

 

3) When you are "playing" with the pizza (i.e.- trying to get it unstuck, moving it around) take it out of the oven, close the oven door and do all the manipulating on the countertop, not in the oven.

 

Good luck.

 

 

Willie Nelson turns 90 years old in a few days. Under doctor's advice he quit smoking the weed but maintains his THC intake via gummies.

 

He also now sits down through most of his concerts.

 

 

Me and my buddies were early fantasy football pioneers and published FF authors. Had we put as much time into finance/investing as we did fantasy football we'd be much wealthier!

 

 

On no. 3, I feel this tip came from a bad personal experience of yours.

I will monitor it and then as our pick gets close I will focus on what is going on.

Actually as a youth I worked at Sorrentino's and Santora's in Williamsville. Later on I worked at a pizzeria called Angelina's (no longer there) in the Elmwood Village... Stuyvesant Plaza.

 

It's common in Buffalo pizzerias to use Crisco shortening to hold the dough stretched onto the pan until it starts baking and then the shortening acts as a release agent so the dough doesn't stick to the pan.

 

It's common with artisan pizzas to use the "dry method" of semolina or corn meal to prevent the dough from sticking to the pan. In this case, because you don't have the Crisco holding the dough in the stretched position you really have to stretch the dough so it doesn't automatically shrink on the pan.

And here I thought it was a cold beer on a hot summer day.  🤷‍♂️

Were you drafted, or did you enlist? 

 

Seriously? Is it in KC this year? Good for you!

 

I never had a hankering to go to it in NYC, but that draft in Nashville was AWESOME on TV. I know the town pretty well, and it’s a great place for a thing like that. Some are, some not so much. 

Just got back from Kansas City. It was a great time and the city did a great job hosting the draft.

 

The draft theater was very spacious and contained a large capacity of fans as it should. Way better than Nashville & Las Vegas did.

 

I only had one time to get Kansas City BBQ, and I went to Char Bar for it. Delicious, although I know people here are going to say that I didn't go to the best place.

 

I always have fun at the draft, and this was a great time. Good job, Kansas City! Bring on Detroit!

As to the bold, some things just need to be expected and understood, lest you risk losing your mind.   😋
