I'm making Chinese barbecued (pork) ribs, cabbage salad, rice, and spicy
pork broth. Iced tea, limeade, and beer to drink.

I didn't know rugby had more than one form! From my understanding,
our sport is referred to as "American" football by outsiders - which
is fine by me. I also knew that some sport played with a round ball
elsewhere is called football and I knew it was either soccer or rugby
- but they look the same to me so I can't tell one from the other.

I don't understand why anyone who isn't an American cares what we call
that sport. They don't live here, they aren't interested - so why
waste energy trying to tell us we're calling it by the wrong name?
Has any country adopted a better name for it? If they have, I don't
know what it is... but they certainly know that we call their
"football" rugby, so they're paying far more attention to our sports
than we do to theirs.

I'd love to hear your method! I've never made Chinese barbecued pork,
but I know it's easy. When I was first married, we lived in an
apartment building and I made friends with people who came from Macau.
The wife made wonderful bbq pork (in the oven) and the only ingredient
I remember was ketchup. She laughed when she showed me and said it
was her secret ingredient, but doggone it - hers tasted just like what
I ate in restaurants.

Enjoy, while my friends enjoy the 40 pounds of pork shoulder I cooked
up last weekend.
Ya know, BBQ style? Using coals and such stuff?

Gonna be a pulled pork fest a galooza
Regardless of outcome, we're gonna eat well.
And, we'll all laugh at Texass football.

For some damn reason nobody was interested in Dragon Turds.

GooooOOO NINERS!

Don't know if they will offer it to him or not but if they do, I hope he
doesn't take it. Would be almost half the hours and less than half of the
hourly pay. We couldn't live on that. He's back in NY.

Rugby is played with a prolate spheroid similar to an American football only
it's usually white and not quite as pointed on the ends.

They'd be upset to learn that their sport is derived from rugby? Don't they
already know that?

sf wrote about Chinese barbecued pork ribs:

> I'd love to hear your method!

This is adapted from the recipe for Chinese barbecued spareribs in _The
Chinese Cookbook_, by Craig Claiborne and Virginia Lee.

3 pound rack of spare ribs, membrane removed
6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons black bean sauce
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
peanut oil for brushing[2]

1. Rub ribs all over with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and allow to sit for
half an hour.

2. Preheat oven to 450°F.

3. Blend the remaining sugar, the chili-garlic sauce, the five-spice powder,
soy sauce, black bean sauce, and hoisin sauce in a bowl. Use half the sauce
to rub over the rack of ribs.[1]

4. Put the ribs onto a rack in a roasting pan, convex side up. Sprinkle with
the sesame seeds and lightly press into the ribs.

5. Put the pan into the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove pan from oven
and reduce heat to 300°F.

6. Brush convex side of ribs with oil. Turn ribs over and return pan to
oven. Bake for another 20 minutes.

7. Brush concave side of ribs with oil, then brush lightly with more of the
sauce. Bake 20 minutes.

8. Remove pan from oven, turn ribs again, and brush convex side lightly with
oil and more of the sauce.

9. Bake 40 minutes, turning the ribs occasionally and basting lightly with
the oil and the sauce.

Bob

[1] If you prefer, you can cut the rack of ribs into individual ribs or
multi-rib servings before cooking. If you do, each serving will have a bit
more of the flavorful saucy stuff on it, but the meat will be a bit more
dried out. I wear gloves when rubbing the sauce on the ribs.

[2] You can use vegetable oil or corn oil if one of the diners has a peanut
allergy.

We might end up going out instead: Lin went to a dog show this weekend, and
there's a chance we'll be hosting a couple of the British dog-show judges
tonight as they wait for their flight out tomorrow. Last time we did that,
we brought our guests to our local Lucille's Barbecue
(http://www.lucillesbbq.com/), and they LOVED it. These aren't the same
judges, but they've been subjected to a year-long rhapsody about how great a
meal it was from the people that we did bring. (Ironically, last year's
judges had been badgered into eating at an Outback Steakhouse the previous
night.)

Being British, they don't care about the Super Bowl, so hospitality may win
out over fandom. Still, I have every expectation that the Super Bowl will be
showing in the bar at Lucille's, and the bar is probably where we're going
to eat if we do end up hosting them.

Thanks. That explains to me why some people are talking about taking
all the ridiculous padding away from our football players and making
them play the game like rugby players do. The thinking is along the
line of: if it hurts more, they won't be bashing each others brains
out like they do now.

I am not going to a party because I don't know if I want to actually pay
attention to the game (superstition).

I do, however, have some chili and corn muffins already made up, which I
plan to eat with avocadoes (maybe some cheese) and chase with San Francisco's
own Anchor Steam beer. The chili is pretty basic but good - a riff off
the recipe of none other than Sen. Barry Goldwater, made in the crockpot.

I have some cooking projects queued up in case I decide I want to listen
to it on the radio. Chopping is a good way to deal with frustrations!

At half time, a group of friends and I will be raising our glasses (in
the air, over the internets) to one of our mutual friends who died
suddenly a couple of weeks ago. RIP Warren.

Thanks, Bob... that looks like a very accessible recipe and I'll be
trying it soon! Just a question about the black bean sauce. I always
make my own paste and have never purchased sauce - so I really don't
know what the difference is. When a recipe needs sauce, I use the
paste and add some stock to loosen it up. Would that work in this
situation or should I just buy the commercial stuff?

Bullshit. You're the one who started the "us vs. them", figuring that you
*would* get a response. When the first one was pretty mild, you kept it
going until you got something closer to what you wanted.

You're not the only one doing a "superior dance" all over the thread, but
you definitely started it and kept it going.

English is a very flexible language. Sack up and grow a pair.

Black bean sauce is slightly spicy. You could use your homemade paste and
add stock, garlic, and some chili oil to approximate the sauce.

The neat thing about this game is that the coaches of each team are
brothers. That's pretty special!

I don't need to read about it. I have two eyes that tell me
linebackers are fat! Obese or not, brain injuries are still a

I remember! EDS. Didn't even have to look it up I can hear the

There it is- EDS-- electronic Data Systems. It makes me forgetting
it even more interesting, as I have been a fan of their founder, Ross
Perot, for a very-long time. [before-during-and after his political

I think you mean linemen rather than linebackers. Linebackers need to be
pretty agile and quick. Linemen need to be powerful like sumo wrestlers.

Can't say I've heard the term "linemen" before this, nor do I know
what most of the players positions are called. I've heard of
fullback, halfback, quarterback and I also know there's a "tight end".
Odd term, but that's what it's called.

Yum!! I'm not brave enough to try such expensive beef right now. I just
can't seem to cook it to the right doneness, even with a meat thermometer.

LOL!!

There's only two teams I barrack for, and watch... the Seahawks, and the
Ravens :-)
(And I'd left my Ravens shirt down in Tassie, damn!!)

Commiserations to you and your 'net illiterate City of SF.

I'd usually say "Better luck next year".... but Nahhhhh :-)
