Inscription.   By action of the Alabama Conference of The Methodist Episcopal Church, South in session at Talladega, December 13-18, 1854, Auburn University and Birmingham - Southern College were born. The delegation resolved to “have a college within the bounds of our Conference.” While the intent was to start a single college by and for the Methodist Church, intense rivalry between eastern and western sections of the state over the location of the school resulted in two institutions: the East Alabama Male College in Auburn and Southern University in Greensboro. Both schools were chartered by the state legislature in 1856, and both struggled to survive during the Civil War.

The College at Auburn was transferred from the Church to the state in 1872, and it became the land-grant Agricultural & Mechanical College of Alabama. In 1899, its name was changed to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and, in 1960, to Auburn University.

Southern University at Greensboro merged with Birmingham College in 1918 to form Birmingham - Southern College, maintaining a church - related status from its beginning to the present.

He could take just a couple hundred bucks and buy me a month of PBR's. I know he likes Mr Golf just saying........

The question is, can little bird shoot the PBR faster than you can drink them? I'm thinking it's not even close.

Indeed...and while we're on Roman numerals, how is it that they didn't account for zero?

This thread is going to kill me if I don't walk away. I'm the type that has to try to find the answers. Great question on no Roman numeral for zero so this is what the all knowing and all powerful internet says (romannumerals.org). I learned something today, I think I'll go home now.

"the Romans didn’t have a symbol for the number zero (0). Because Roman Numerals System was developed for mostly knowing the price of goods, and to trade. So, there was no need for a symbol to represent zero. Instead of the number zero, the word “nulla” (the Latin word meaning "none") was used by the Romans."

Dang now I need a bigass cast iron.  Most of my steaks are done on the stove same method.

Not BBQ but we Sous Vide our steaks then sear on a very hot cast iron pan, nothing better. Vacuum seal the steak with butter & herbs, sous vide to 129 Deg F for medium rare then sear for 30-60 seconds each side, yum. No resting needed and perfectly cooks. It properly renders the fat too.

I also wonder why a major is higher in rank than a lieutenant, but a lieutenant general is higher in rank than a major general.

I wonder if that works like Roman numerals. i.e. when I proceeds (i.e. IX) it subtracts? So a Lieutenant General would be less of a full General than a Major General. I just made that up but makes sense to me. Things we wonder about!

Prayers for your whole family but specially for positive results for James from this clinical trial.

Exactly.

He wasn't good last year and time has passed. That's what we know. The rest is all just bitter taste syndrome. He may never reach his potential but then again, he just as well could.

Band name????

I can see the arrow to the right but it does not do anything. Can't swipe either but the "View All" works. Never used this feature so can't compare to pre-upgrade. Using Edge on Android 

I seem to be missing the "k" after the number of posts. I see it on everyone else's???? By the way, can anyone explain what the "Submit Reply" button is for?

Where's the "lurker" badge?

Haha. The pecan is good stuff. I live on the coast in bushwhacker land. A peanut butter floater in a bushwhacker isn't uncommon. I actually like it more than I expected. It is very peanut buttery, only 60 proof though.

So I never heard of a bushwacker and had to look it up, sounds delicious. We make a chocolate martini type drink and love it but this sounds even better. Definitely going to try; both with and without the peanut butter whiskey floater.

I actually did a shot of peanut butter whiskey 😛 Definitely not the norm, but not gonna lie, it was good.

I won't lie, peanut butter whiskey scares me. I do like pecan whiskey with RumChata, delicious.

Mods, move if not the correct place.

Personally I think this was a really good day for Auburn football. Two questions:

• Name a drink that would rate today's recruiting success
• Name the drink you will have tonight to celebrate (or drown your sorrows) with

For me, I think the answers are the same; I think I'll celebrate with a Lagavulin 16. a darn good single malt I really enjoy. Like my selection, today was not the best recruiting Auburn has had and we'll have better in the future but this was way better than I thought it would be and not a "house brand" day.

Cheers Fam!!!!

We making these with bourbon or rye?

I vote Rye, I have a sweet tooth.

This is a Baltimore distiller owned by the owner of Under Armor. Not sure how their distribution is nationally or even regionally but can get in most liquor stores in the area. This was one store's barrel select I decided to try. I'd suggest a distillery visit and tour if you're ever in the area. Being a rye its quite sweet but smooth and has a bit of a light smoke finish. At 55% I prefer to have with a splash of water.

How hot does the Joe get? You might be able to go full Neopolitan on it. 

https://thepizzaheaven.com/authentic-neapolitan-pizza-dough-recipe/

So the DoJoe is limited to 700 Deg F. Not quite the traditional neapolitan temps listed in your link. I think I will try the home version as the 700 Deg is better than the 500-550 they list in the article.

Just in case someone is wondering what the JoDoe looks like I pasted a picture below. We just got it yesterday and it includes the pizza stone but also needs the heat deflector that comes with the Kamado Joe. Lots of thermal mass to keep the "floor" hot for the pizza!!!

So..... I got the wife a DoJoe for Christmas, birthday, valentine's day. We found something we liked and wanted so to justify the purchase we turn it into a gift. Anyway, the DoJoe is a pizza oven adapter for the Kamado Joe ceramic cooker. Now we're ready to jump into the wonderful world of homemade pizzas (which we've done a little with the conventional oven) and I'm asking for help, HELP. We're looking for that perfect dough recipe. We like thin and crispy crust but with some chewiness to it. We'd love to make a good size batch and then freeze so we have it on hand. Any suggestions? Open to any tips and tricks too.

The Breville Smart Oven countertop convection ovens are hard to beat.

 

Love my Breville oven. Has better heating elements than your cheap toaster oven. Cooks just as well as a big oven when you have smaller dishes. Perfect for a family of two. I hated heating up the big oven for a pizza, roasted veggies or other dishes for two. We bought quarter sheets on line and silpat liners for the oven and they work great. We roast veggies in it all the time and they are perfect. 390 convection for 30 minutes, turn after 15 minutes. Loved it so much we bought one for my elderly parents.
