Eating the Enemy - Oregon and Thursday Night Game Open Thread

This one goes out to LeonPowe.

From about.com:

Peking Duck

Prep Time: 10 hours, 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • One 5 to 6 pound duck
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 slice ginger
  • 1 scallion, cut into halves
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sherry
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in 3 tablespoons water
  • Scallions for garnish

Preparation:

Clean duck. Wipe dry and tie string around neck.
Hang duck in cool, windy place 4 hours. 
Fill large wok with water. Bring to boil. Add ginger, scallion, honey, vinegar, and sherry. Bring to boil. Pour in dissolved cornstarch. Stir constantly.
Place duck in large strainer above larger bowl. Scoop boiling mixture all over duck for about 10 minutes.
Hang duck again in cool, windy place for 6 hours until thoroughly dry.
Place duck breast side up on a greased rack in oven preheated to 350 degrees. Set a pan filled with 2 inches of water in bottom of oven.
(This is for drippings). Roast 30 minutes.
Turn duck and roast 30 minutes more. Turn breast side up again. Roast 10 minutes more.
Use sharp knife to cut off crispy skin. Serve meat and skin immediately on a prewarmed dish.
The duck is eaten hot with hoisin sauce rolled in 
Mandarin Crepes. Garnish with scallion flowerets. Serves 4 to 6.

Use this post as the Open Thread for tonight's game.  That sounds like some tasty stuff.  Make yourself some duck and scream for (Game)cocks as South Carolina tries to upset the #4 Rebels!  GOOOOOO COCKS!

Easier way to do this recipe:

1) Grab mouthpiece, shinguards, elbow pads….and maybe a weapon or three.(switchblade, brass knuckles, etc.)

2) Go to your local Ranch 99 and push your way through the deli line. Note #1: If you stand in line, you’ll never get your food. Taking turns is what people do in the movies, on tv, or in the midwest where they still have manners. (That’s why they control boarding to flights overseas with tear gas). Note #2: If you smell Tiger Balm, run and hide. Asian grannies have sharp elbows and will F- you up.

3) Order a whole roast duck. Grab a jar of plum sauce on the way out.

4) Get home and get primal. Let the juices flow. Rice and bread optional as they diminish the meat/carnage ratio.

Worth it!

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

Actually, it's not.

True story (that shows the extent of Vanderbilt’s cunning in parting you with your money):

Two years ago unranked Vanderbilt was hosting #1 Tennessee in basketball, a game VU would ultimately win. Throughout the entire game, the VUPD was taking what looked like photographs of the students in attendance. Of course, people were more concerned with the on-court action, so nobody really worried that much. Anyway, my g/f at the time was still a student, and informed me following the game that the police officers were taking photos of the students so that if they rushed the court, the police could determine who made it on and divvy up the $30,000 fine equally among said identified students.

Wow. OK. That sucks. The SEC needs to lighten up. Seriously.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

Maybe they’re afraid the rednecks in the crowd will start fighting on the court.

You laugh, but…the year before when VU beat #1 Florida, Brandon Powell knocked out a Vandy student after they rushed the court:

Follow the white line in the wide angle shot at the end. Look for the student falling down.

Can’t see the video? Or can’t see the punch? I just clicked the link and it seemed to work. You may have to watch it more than once to get an idea of it.

I’d recommend going to about :24 seconds in. When the camera angle changes to the wide view, look on the left half of the screen. There’s a faint white arrow (really should have been done in green to make it more visible, but whatevs) that establishes where Brandon Powell was when he threw the punch.

It looks like what happened was that one too many Vandy students bumped into him and after the last one did it he just decided to clock one.

Wasn’t that when we were briefly #1 before the EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATING FALL FROM GRACE???

You missed out on a lot of Cock action.

Point Plankn!

I would seriously never want to go to that school. It must get hard having to deal with all that cock teasing.

I LOL’d!

I can’t help it. When I hear their mascot name, it’s a natural reaction to make jokes.

Point Plankn!

It’s ok, I totally understand. You should just accept your ‘natural reactions’ to ‘cock.’

Ok I think I’m done here.
