Grilling / Cooking (mostly grilling)
Co-op had the twin packs of pork tenderloin on sale for $3.99/lb this week. Walmart was twice the price. Safeway has asparagus for $3.49/lb and for February a nice tender size too. Did a quick indirect smoke on the tenderloin and grilled the asparagus. Pretty fine Sunday dinner. https://opeforum.com/attachments/6d1eda12-cf65-4cac-8a2c-15a7d17caac7-jpeg.364657/ https://opeforum.com/attachments/58dd9b2d-29d0-4f3a-9966-bcb86251e973-jpeg.364658/

Restaurant/food thread
I too must turn in my Winnipeg card, Cathay House was just never on my radar. Now “special green tea” at Sumhay at 3am, that’s something I am familiar with.

I think for the first time in his career I have a level of respect for Sankey. I wonder if the rest of the facts would have been shared from the agent if asked, or if we get to hear them once he signs somewhere.

Restaurant/food thread
Why settle for decent when exceptional is available? I can’t understand your fixation with lousy chain restaurants. Winnipeg has so many options of scratch made food of so many types it’s insane nor to take advantage of the variety. Made the trip to Taverna Rosa for lunch today, absolutely incredible Greek cuisine.

Question for the Winnipeggers
I did not see the mention of the CTD, can’t support them as great citizens when Brad Roberts hates the city and often talks down about it and how much better life was once he moved to Vancouver. Popularity does not make someone great. Have I offered names? I couldn’t bring any that aren’t already mentioned and to me the question is too vague. First define Winnipegger and define great. Aif the requirement is born here and impact on the world Sir William Stephenson is second to none. If the requirement is impact on Winnipeg and Manitoba the list is very different. The one thing that this thread proves is that our city and home punches above its weight class in so many categories.

Are you seriously suggesting her? Why would anyone mention her? What has she done? Comes from a **** family and was successful after her father bought her a record deal.

Canadian Politics
This was never so apparent to me until we moved this summer and our 10 year needed to be acclimated to a new school. I will say many of these issues start at the top, good principals have great school and community environments, not so good or caring can lead to a toxic workplace, high teacher turnover and poor socialization of students. I will say I am very happy with E’s new school.

I can’t believe I am bout defend Al but I don’t think he intended to be racist in that statement. He was correct in his assertion of where the most money is in the music industry. Just listened to a great podcast that lays it out pretty simply, writing and copyright is where the money is, not performance. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/my-sharona/

I sure hope TSN didn't plan some Free Agent Frenzy programming for next Tuesday. By the time that rolls around there won't be anything left to talk about but all the confirmations of things agreed to this week.

I’m calling a MTL re-sign of Harris , mostly because I want to see the Rider meltdown that will ensue.

How / Why would someone offer Dom Davis anything? I am not sure if I like or am shocked that not once have I seen Dakota Prukop mentioned. I mean even with the GC brain fart he still gets more done that Dom Davis...

Agreeing with Booch, after reviewing the roster the one name I'd like back is Bailey. Most of the others should be able to be replaced rather easily. The one other answer I am looking for is Shoen, does he return and sign longer term or does he have an NFL opportunity to pursue? Without Shoen I would like to see a free agent received (Lawler / Lewis) here but with Shoen I think we can pass on both those guys and save the $$ for other spots. Really hoping the scouts have the big run stopping, pile pushing DT already in their sights down south.

I will say, after being trained to binge whole seasons at a time this one episode a week thing is rough.

Really shitty, that's how I would feel. We were the best team in the league last year without Lawler and Lewis. Why are we always focused on guys on other teams that we perceive as better. The guys we have won more games than anyone else last year and would have brought home a 3-peat if not for some poor coaching and back execution at critical moments, none which can be blamed Demski.

Watched the first episode of Shrinking last night on Apple TV+. My wife and both really enjoyed it and had several moments if audible laughter or chuckles. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt15677150/

Hill is dead. Was an incredible hockey player and a shitty human. No one can argue the first point, if you want to argue the second maybe the description of Hull can be used for you as well. His 15 minutes of fame ended 40 years ago, scan we move on now?

Lost in all the Bobby Hull talk I think this was missed. We may not all know the name Barrett Strong but we all know some of the songs this Motown legend wrote. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/barrett-strong-dead-obit-1234670626/
