Since it is your buddy, I hope you gave him "roughly fair odds" of +200 ( in other words your buddy wins 2k or you win 1k) ?

Great value for you, I estimate about 35% +EV ( based on the public line).

Maybe, but if you can keep on getting even money on the favored team (first score) then you should be just laughing all the way to a win and free dinner (most times).

He’s my buddy, the same one my wife and I were with when we won the $65k +. I wrote about the four of us at the casino steakhouse that night with the celebration dinner. Great times.

You are very lucky to have friends whose betting interests grew as your bankroll did. Is betting football props for a thousand dollars common in your security department?

Why would you say he works with me or within my department?

I have never said that. Never.

You made that up. In other words, false accusation and or insinuation.

I had received a dozen empanadas for Christmas from a place in NY. The last time I ordered from them, I got 24 and ate them all in a couple of days. This time, I had two a day or so after they arrived and today I cooked up two more and some sweet potato fries. I've got a nice ribeye thawing in the fridge. I'm hoping for it to be ready for tonight

Go for sushi around 8 times a year with an ex anesthesia partner. I get TWO luck specials. 2 small miso soups. Eel and avocado roll. Spicy crab roll. Spicy salmon roll. Salmon skin roll. 5 individual pieces. Tuna, salmon, white tuna, other tuna, and cooked shrimp. I get a side cup of spicy mayonnaise. Dip each piece first into wasabi/soy sauce mixture, then into spicy mayo. Eat.

I made Tuna Stack last night. Here's the recipe:
In a round casserole dish, layer, in order:
1/4 cup Alfredo sauce
1/4 cup mozzarella or "six-cheese Italian blend" (mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, romano, asiago, fontina)
A soft taco-size tortilla (I use Mission low-card sun-dried tomato)
1/4 cup sauce
1 can of tuna
Layer some baby spinach leaves
3/4 cup cheese
Repeat tortilla, sauce, tuna, spinach, cheese three more times
Finish off with a fifth tortilla, 1/4 cup sauce, 1/4 cup cheese
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes
Top with 1/4 cup Parmesan; bake another 10 minutes

Usually, I eat 1/3 of it on the night, and refrigerate the rest for leftovers

I haven't left the house in a few weeks except to see doctors. Tonight I decided I need to take my wife out for a nice meal as she has been doing nothing but taking care of me. I don't have much of an appetitive and will probably spend $50 for something i will barely eat, but it is all about keeping the wife happy/

by chance, I just found out something I didn't know about coffee - which I truly love

you can make instant coffee by grinding coffee beans until they're very fine

I'm going to buy some high quality beans and try it - if it sucks I only lost a few bucks

I stopped brewing coffee about a year ago, too much cleaning necessary - found a couple of great foreign instants

I give the Chinese credit - they're masters at making food flavorful

it may not be healthy - but so what - neither are burgers and fries

you can get an 8 pack of tasty ramen for $3.99

yes, I know it's not healthy - but if you eat it just once a week no problem

for fifty cents you get half of your dinner___________amazing

and Maxim White Gold - which is 3 in one - a little bit of cream and a little bit of sugar is in the packet - from Korea

I mix them together - white coffee is roasted differently and has a lighter color




and re my post on ramen - ramen is from both China and Japan - see link

I bought some high quality Starbucks Sumatra beans and tried it.
the experiment was a success - it was very, very good
you have to grind the beans for a long time so they become very fine and will dissolve - and the water should be totally boiling - scorching hot
the grinder got real messy, but that's a small thing

DRich should be proud of me! Going out for beer/wings/fries/etc.. tonight. In anticipation I forgot to eat breakfast, and had Doritos for lunch!

As far as the coffee discussion. I am not a coffee snob. Virtually never drink it hot. Use a Keurig and put in a Wegman's Dark Roast. Put a large glass filled with ice, and only use the small (4oz?) button. Add a tiny bit of half and half. Sugar free, and very few calories from the tiny amount of half and half.

When going out with friends to a Starbucks, I get a doubleshot of espresso, and ask for a side cup of ice. I then add the same minimal portion of half and half. Slightly better than my home concoction.

this is the worst food I've ever been served in my life
cream chipped beef on toast - it was served to me at a summer camp when I was a kid
the counselor said (I don't know if it's true) that it's a staple in the Army
he said that there they call it S.O.S. - which stands for sh** on a shingle
really, really bad stuff

As a kid we grew up eating that. It is not my favorite, but I also don't think it is terrible.

My Dad would make that for lunch on occasions. It was far from my favorite but it was better than some of his concoctions.
He also made a mixture of canned tuna and mushroom gravy, served on dry toast.

this is the worst food I've ever been served in my life
cream chipped beef on toast - it was served to me at a summer camp when I was a kid
the counselor said (I don't know if it's true) that it's a staple in the Army
he said that there they call it S.O.S. - which stands for sh** on a shingle
really, really bad stuff

You’ve never been served steamed vegetables?

I much prefer it with ground beef instead of chipped beef.

Then, it's basically an extremely mild biscuits and gravy (with deformed biscuits).
May the cards fall in your favor.

I remember SOS from my childhood. I liked it.
Today went to Italian. Ordered Cioppino. It’s always been served in a clearish broth base. Today it had a ton of delicious chopped tomatoes that it almost was a tomato sauce. Mountains of clams, mussels, shrimp and spicy sausage over the mountain of pasta. I ate as much as I could stuff in my mouth and had at least a pound of pasta left over for breakfast tomorrow.

I bought the highest quality and most expensive ground beef my grocery offers - they labelled it "steak burgers"

I broiled my burgers seasoning them with just salt, pepper and onion powder

they were great_________they crushed any restaurant burgers I've ever had

Have you tried Bubba Burgers? I'm not usually big on frozen burgers but I find them surprisingly good.

It doesn't work for me, but every can they distribute is a can their competitors can't. Shelf space is everything.

Yeah….if you need that combo, there might be a good chance you’re one of either an alcoholic, caffeine addict or both.

Wife and I ate Thai food at our go to joint.

Lousy this time: beef was tough (spit it out), and they'd substituted thigh meat for breast meat in her chicken Pad Thai.

I used to run into a guy downtown who ordered Baileys and coke with his coffee. He'd be good for three or four in two hours of blackjack.

I'm not a tremendous fan of fast food - and I'm not crazy about Popeyes - their chicken is tasty but it's too greasy

but I give them credit - to me, their red beans and rice is very unique side for a fast food joint and it's really good

it's a little bit heavy but so what - you're almost never going to feel something is perfect - 4.5 stars
