in 8 ball pool i called my pocket for the 8 but i hit the stripe ball first(i was solid) and the 8 ball went in the called pocket. what happens here?
it’s 8-ball. it’s whatever rules you want to play by.
Usually play no combos on the 8-ball and you have to call it.
And the cue ball has to hit your ball first on other combos, otherwise, even if you make the ball, you lose your turn.
you lose

I’ve looked online for a good kalbi recipe, but came across so many that I wasn’t sure which to go for. Typical info overload. It is one of my favorite dishes, but so far have been limited to getting it at a restaurant which tends to be pretty expensive.
Anyway, if someone could either type up a recipe or just point me to a website that has a good recipe, I’d appreciate it.
add some Beef Dashida – basically Korean MSG (though not nearly as headachey) – which I don’t believe websites will generally tell you. Also, before you cook the beef wash it. In that I mean douse it in some water and drain it/squeeze – not too much though cuz you don’t want mush for dinner….

My favorite wine only 10 a bottle, and @ 13.4%
Some of the best you will find coming out of California’s wine country.
Mine is Black Opal. An Australian wine. I would recommend the 2005 Shiraz. Its delicious. You can get it between 7 to 10 dollars.
we need more pics of the bottle for each of these that way i can identify them better. i like wine (i think) but have no idea what is good or not aka i cant tell a good wine from a bad one
I’m still apeshit over the Ripasso I tried not too long ago. Read the rest of this entry »
Hello everyone! To introduce myself, my name is Jeff and I’m a sophomore student at Virginia Tech (or at least will be come the fall semester). I have been placed into a much larger dorm than I was last year and will have a kitchen in my building. I’m hoping to get a few nights in there to make some dinner for myself/friends (it’s a co-ed dorm… i need something to put me infront of all the other guys ^.^).
So i was wondering if any of you guys have some really basic/simple recipes that I can use in college besides Ramen or Cup-o-Soup microwavables. I think it would be fun to experiment with some new food… especially if I can make it.

I want to learn to cook, and I want to learn to love it. Right now, the state of affairs looks like this:
- I can make pasta (premade sauce ), rice and vegetarian stir fry. That is all. I tried meat a few times but it always comes out tough and stringy.
- I currently find cooking boring and a waste of my time, which I’m sure isn’t helping things.
I think the only reason my weight hasn’t soared is because I tend to avoid classic junk food (soda, candy bars, chips, etc) and would rather not eat than expend the effort. Obviously that last bit is some flawed thinking. I’m reasonably bright and creative in other areas, so I’m sure I can learn to cook and love it. I think I need a kick in the right direction.

Are these any good? Anything better in their price range? Gotta stock the new kitchen this weekend and these are looking to be a good option.
Love my set I got from Target, just get some Calphalon cooking utensils to go along with then.
I ended up getting a 12 piece set. Bed Bath & Beyond had a special going, spend over 300 and get a $50.00 gift card, spend over $400.00 and get another calphalon pot. I’m very happy with mine so far. A little disappointed they’re not dishwasher safe but it’s a small price to pay.

I went to bevmo to pick up some Blue Curacao and saw many different brands. I was wondering which ones are good and which ones should I stay away from.
They’re all sugar water and blue food coloring with a smidge of alcohol.
BOLS and DeKuyper are good -
you could also add a drop of blue food coloring into a smaller bottle of triple sec and save the rest for margaritas
I’m having a new fridge delivered from Best Buy on the 23rd in my new house. Problem is, I have a copper water line that was left by the previous owner, and Best Buy says that the installation people won’t install to a copper water line. So, I’m going to replace it with a plastic line.
The thing is, the line runs behind the dishwasher. This dishwasher was what looks like a "home grown" install. It looks like it’s directly sitting on the subfloor, and sits about 1.5 inches below the nice, expensive tile floor in front of it. It has cutouts where the feet sit.

They have red, brown, and black colored mulch nowadays at Home Depot and other home improvement stores. Only have to change it once a year it says.
Are there any disadvantages to the colored mulch?
I don’t know much about mulch, but I know there are some mulches that are better at staying in place and some that float away once you get a good rain.
Why buy from Home Depot and such in bags? It is so expensive. Much cheaper to buy it by the yard and get a truck to dump it at your house.

I’d like to pick up some nice knives because my Faberwares are pretty shitty. The problem is that I use a glass cutting board. Should I switch over to that hard white plastic or wood? Is wood bad to use because of bacteria?
I don’t use wood for raw meat and especially not for chicken. Those plastic boards are not expensive so definately switch over to them instead of glass. They are worlds easier on knife blades over glass. In fact, don’t use those glass boards for any cutting.
If you have the money, then I’d also get a nice hardwood cutting board for veggies and cooked food. Some people also will do red meat on them, and to be honest, I end up doing it sometimes as well. But never with poultry.
