D-League

Going to put this out there.

Italian Beef (my MOM"S)

1-Large Chuck Roast (3lb one today)
1-Tbsp Basil
1-Tbsp Oregano
1-Tbsp Garlic Powder
1-Tbsp Onion Powder
1-Tbsp Black Pepper
1-Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1-Tbsp Lowery's
1-Tbsp All seasoning (Have substituted Angelo's here)
6-8 Pepperoncini's, add some of the juice

Place all ingredients in a crock-pot with pepperoncini on top
Do NOT add any water
Cook on high for 6-8 hours (for bigger roast, Cook longer)
Do not stir until done
Place on Hogie bun with Mozzarella cheese and cut up pepperoncini's if you like.
When it gets done, I take it out, put it in a cake pan, go thru it taking out all the fat in it, put it in a bowl. Then I take the juice in the crock-pot and run it through a strainer in another bowl. Before I add the juice to the meat, I like to take a couple pieces of bread, lay it in the juice to take some of the grease off the top of it, you will see what I am talking about. Then add it to the meat

I have changed the way I do this, I cut up the roast the night before in large pieces, the put it in a storage bag over night with all the ingredients, mixing around everything 3-4 times so everything gets coated good, then starting it in the morning, Mrs. M don't like leaving it on in the crock-pot overnight.

If you try this, you will have to adjust to your taste, we don't like it salty and to spicy, so I cut back some on the salty stuff and fewer on the peppers.

I have never given this recipe out before; I like my friends on the D!!!!

There are definitely significant numbers of people who don't fit in, and are never going to.

The part of downtown DC where I work is really nice - just off Pennsylvania Avenue about halfway between the White House and the Capitol. Lots of decent restaurants, museums, galleries, etc.

But a few blocks up is the massive homeless shelter the city opened about 35 years ago after a long battle with homeless advocate Mitch Snyder (his battle became a Martin Sheen movie, etc.) So now, lots of homeless folks, many with mental issues and, or deep substance abuse problems, wander down our way because there is enough tourist traffic that well-meaning people keep them supplied with money for booze or pills.

I certainly have sympathy for the situation some people find themselves in, and help some of the regulars who I've seen actually using the money to buy food. And I don't have any solution.

Hello all, on this note I got back to my desk about an hour ago. MD55 they called those half-way houses. My Grandma lived in one for a long while in Detroit. Thank President Carter (With all those "single" habitat for humanity homes he built, President Carter caused the homeless problems we have now in the United States. He should have kept building those single homes and left this country.........alone.), he called those who did not have all their faculties but could do lots of things living in a home where people did those mundane things like pay the bills and sometimes cook... inhumane... Go figure....

I will post again but that struck a nerve... Carter was bad, real bad but I think he is now coming in third in the most horrible President contest... "Ain't" that a shame... No, it is criminal!

Oh I hope all are well.

BBUK, your grandma must have been a tough old bird if she managed for a long while in a homeless shelter, or halfway house, in Detroit.

When I was a young stud reporter about age 25 the debate was raging in DC over whether to keep a massive homeless shelter in the city open,...As a stunt I went in that place dressed in shabby clothes and stayed a weekend. That was plenty for me. Saw some real human depravity -- including a knife fight between two women. The only thing I can say to recommend the experience is that every morning some large local bakery would drop off a couple garbage bags of day-old donuts, which weren't bad.

BTW - Despite my story painting the place as a Dickensian nightmare the shelter stayed open. No one could come up with a better idea, then or now.

During my walks, I encounter homeless folks every day. Some days 2-3 while other days 8-10, all within a 1-mile radius. Crazy thing is no homeless shelter nearby. Largest shelter sits downtown on 7th Street. Some folks camp out in tents, and seemingly live rather well. Sometimes I question if they are truly homeless or just saving money. Others seem seriously destitute.

Homelessness is a huge problem in ATX. Many fires have been started by homeless folks. Lots of filth and hazardous waste (needles) near their camps. City may try addressing the issue again. We'll see.

Glad you are home. I hope you spread some love to your folks. That is what counts.

On Carter: he was a good person, but a very bad president. However, today I would trade Jimmy in a New York minute for Joe.

Yeah, it is so sad. Most of the homeless or at least a lot of the homeless have the means to have a place or a roof over their head, they just do not have the faculties to do the daily things required to keep a roof over their head like paying the heat, lights, or water bills, or getting something fixed. I never consider the large majority of the homeless bad people. (Not that it matters what I think.) I saw my Grandma. She could live well but to keep a schedule of paying a bill or that type stuff, forget it. I went to the place she lived regularly and had great interactions with a lot of the people that lived there, never forgetting them. Their community was very close-knit as well. They had means...

My Grandmother died nearing the end of President Carter's first year in office. She didn't have to go through the pain a WHOLE lot of "people" had to go through so President Carter and his ilk could do something "For the people"....

I will stop, I guess why I am harping so much is I was able to go through a whole lot of papers and pictures my Mom had that my sweet sister (SIL) and brother saved from when they assisted my Mom a while bunch before she passed many years ago.

I have a bunch of pictures and documents I may share. Also have a couple decent pictures of Cumberland Gap that someone asked about.
 
ryanbruner, what is your agenda?

I don't recall seeing you on the D-League before. Why are you here?

Do you want to join us or are your purposes different?

What is your agenda with these two post?

By the way my Kentucky Senator is a person friend. Is there some secret message I need to relay to him?
I’m trying to throw my money carelessly at multiple parlays this fall in order to fund this hot tub I want to buy.

You did not answer one of my questions. What in hell is a parlay?

You may be a prick. I don't know. Prior to this afternoon I had never heard of you.

You say you live in Georgia. Why are you so concerned about Kentucky law?

I spend my falls in Kentucky but occasionally I drive to Tennessee to throw some money on draft kings and try to get rich. In all honesty I’d rather not drive 2 hours to throw units on money lines and over/unders

Sir,
He is a troublemaker that thinks all are beneath him. He is superior. Never forget that. Yep, the salt scum of the earth. jmuo
 
On a baseball theme here is an oldie. Spring Training In St. Petersburg, Florida (March 1925) Babe Ruth, Al Lang and Miller Huggins. While mayor of St Pete, Al Lang was instrumental in bringing Spring Training to Florida and forming the Grapefruit League. Miller Huggins played for the Cincinnati Reds and St Louis Cardinals. He also managed the Yanks during the 1920's when they had Murder's Row. We know who Babe Ruth was.

This is the Spring Training Home of the St Louis Cardinals back in the day, Al Lang Field When I was about 8 years old I saw Mickey Mantle hit one in the water batting right handed. There was a group of old men around me and one commented, "Who is that kid?" The photo below is the last pitch in the old spring practice stadium. Al Lang Stadium.

The Yankees trained in Miller Huggin Field, also in St Pete. Because they were in the same city the Yanks and Cards played at lot of games in Spring Training.
