Nothing compliments the sweet drizzle of bourbon with a side of pork tenderloin on a Kings Hawaiian roll like a fresh, flaky piece of BROWN SUGAR PIE. And most importantly, it is easy to fix and keeps well during a long tailgate.
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).In a saucepan, combine flour and sugar. Stir in milk, butter, salt and vanilla. Cook, beating it like UVA in a Commonwealth Cup until mixture comes to a boil. Pour into an unbaked pie shell. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 25 minutes. The end result is more pies than UVA had ACC wins last year.
Eating Directions.
Step 1) Eat it
Step 2) Proclaim that it is better than cake.
Comments
This very well might end up being the first pie I ever bake
I may have to run to the store before the snowpocalypse hits...
Film review and a pie recipe on the same day? I don't even know what to say, I'm just so happy...
Eating directions unclear, beat UVA in Commonwealth Cup by myself
What's with this Celsius crap?! I'm starting to think French really is French...
Some of us live outside the USA, can't do math and are too lazy to use the app on our phones. This helps with my Celsius oven. Thanks French!
I just joined the abroad club a week ago. My first overseas meal was something I picked up in the frozen foods isle, and the instructions said to microwave it at "900 Watts." I still don't know what that corresponds to in terms of microwave settings, and the horsepower conversion didn't help.
Hey congrats man! I remember saying you were on the way out to... Europe correct?
Not sure why your eating off the frozen food aisle though. Go out and explore. Find some place and start pointing to things on a menu.
and for your info 900 watts means: just nuke it for 2 minutes and see what happens, then 2 more just in case.
My first two nights I was staying in a guest room at the lab I'm working at. It's about 10 km out of town and not really near anything, so I had to improvise. Now that I'm moved into my apartment, I've been experiencing a little more of the local cuisine. Although, my budget is very limited, so I haven't been able to explore as much as I'd like to. Europe ain't cheap.
Edit: My 900 Watts interpretation was spot on, that's pretty much exactly what I did.
guest room in the lab? Why do I imagine it looks like this:
no worries on the meal. I was just joking. Where are you anyway? Italy? I forget. It ain't cheap though, that's definitely true.
I'm in Nantes, France, near the Atlantic coast. And actually that guest room was much nicer than my apartment is. If it wasn't so far from everything, I'd move back in a heartbeat
Nantes! c'est bien! oysters dude... all the phucking oysters in Nantes. Lobsters too.
I guess that goes back to the expensiveness though.
haha yup! I eat lunch everyday in the cafeteria at the lab, and it's subsidized so the food is cheap, and it's delicious! I had some oysters and shrimp yesterday.
Beer brewing world is mostly in Metric now.
If I didn't convert voluntarily, I'd have to convert kicking and screaming.
Let's face it, even though we're used to the old system, it's getting harder and harder not to go metric. right now is the hard patch where half the stuff is in each system requiring every single action to require conversion one way or the other.
This is true. Understand your metric system kids.
However, despite living in the metric/celsius system for the past 18 years I still have no phucking clue what 20 degrees Celsius outside means until I walk the phuck outside.
Double and add 30. For 20, you get 70. The exact conversion is 68, so close enough.
Sorry, is my engineer showing?
Thanks. leg for the effort, but I know what the conversion is. It's just that it doesn't matter I know or not. I still am mystified every morning when I look at the temp.
question though. if your engineer was showing shouldn't it be exact and not just close enough? ;)
I wasn't saying you didn't know the conversion, just giving my quick mental way of getting a temperature estimate. Sitting there and calculating out C*1.8 + 32 is a pain in the ass, why not use something quick and dirty to get close enough.
Also, that was my point, using inexact calculations to determine a decent estimate, which is what engineers do every day. That's a large reason why we have factors of safety. Engineering is all about finding better ways to estimate, and choosing a factor of safety that is adequate yet as little wasteful as possible. We don't deal in exact numbers, we leave that to the physicists.
Virginia was the first state to switch to all metric for government work. It was also the first state to switch back.
That's a shame.
As a side note, Tennessee is the only state where I've seen km on the side of the road next to mi. On those green signs that give distances to major cities, it has both values, at least on some of them. And I've driven through parts of every state east of the Mississippi, except for ME, NH, and VT.
It would be so nice if we could actually transition over to the metric system. Sure, it'll suck for about 5-10 years while we're still getting used to the new systems, but I think it would be for the best. There's no reason that one acre should be defined as 43,560 square feet.
For real estate agents, 1 acre is either 44,000 or 40,000. They don't seem to know the real value.
I propose a new standard. All units of length and anything derived from it should be calculated in Bucky Hodges. One Bucky Hodge (bH) is defined as the distance traveled by Sam Rogers, traveling at the velocity of Sam Rogers (vSR, another standard unit), in 1 x 10-9 sec and is also the height of Bucky Hodges at any point in time. The fact that bH is ever-increasing is related to the relativistic effects introduced in vSR by his progressive detachment from gravity. It is postulated that the effect is due to a special interaction with the Higgs Boson (HB...BH...there must be a connection).
This needs to be an entirely separate post. I can see this taking on a life of its own (and the accompanying hilarity). +1 for the chuckle.
Thanks. I like letting my geek flag fly. I thought about doing something more full-fledged but didn't have the time. I'm considered doing something after we've gotten through spring practices so I can get some more stats on the team and do another "Legend of..." style post.
Patent It! Quick!!! I think Sam Rogers might be the link to a perpetual motion machine. Or at least the reality of quantum levitation.
I'm getting excited for the 2014 season...
Perhaps, for every (bH)there needs to be an equal reaction - Higgs Boson
So, (bH) >< HB
Well, the exact relationship is still unclear (
I'm making it up as we speakstudies are ongoing). But since bH is a unit of length, it is not subject to "equal but opposite" Newtonian forces. However, the relationship between Sam Rogers and the Higgs Boson certainly is, though there are non-negligible quantum effects to account for. As vSR increases, the pull of gravity weakens, therefore the interaction with the Higgs Boson is diminished. As a consequence, the value of bH increases. We're really diving into some fundamental football physics here, and we're just beginning to scratch the surface. We also still haven't accounted for the deformations in space-time that come as a consequence of A.J. Hughes dropping fools like a ton of bricks.Isn't the AJ Hughes effect measured in Tb (or trickin bitches)?
The standard is not yet agreed upon. A conference has been planned for a few months from now.
*truckin' bitches
fify.
Good catch. Fatty ole fingers!
Celsius reminder poem:
30 is hot
20 is nice
10 is cool, and
0 is ice.
Now back to VT sports and pie!
That recipe sounds devilish, and needs to be standard tailgate fare for all LOLUVA whippings.
Dig the poem, dude.
For the metrically challenged the conversions are:
86 = 30
68 = 20
50 = 10
32 = 0
18 degrees F per 10 degrees C or 9 F per 5 C.
Remembering two or three temperatures (or other conversions) that are important to you is an easy way to learn metric. Associate with something you like, for instance the kick-off temperature in Lane for a 3PM game in October or a Thursday night kick-off in early November.
when I was about 8 my older sister helped me with rough approximation of temperatures like this.
Double the temperature C and add 32....going backwards..subtract 32 and divide by 2.
It's not too far off
30 C * 2 = 60 + 32 = 82 F
10 C * 2 = 20 = 32 = 52 F
It's not super accurate, as I learned much later in my life that the conversion is 9/5C + 32 = F, but it's a quick and easy calculation that has stuck with me for serveral years now
Football games can start at 3PM?
I agree with not knowing from a muscle memory type of knowledge what the heck the temp is.
I usually have to go back and relate, ok, 100 Deg C is boiling so 20 deg C is 1/5 of boiling so 1/5 of 180 F is about 36F.
Ok, I might need a jacket if it's windy.
The breeze is 23 kph.....
Psst...you forgot to add the 32* for the freezing point in Ferenheit. 20* C is more like 32* F plus 1/5 of 180 which as you said is 36. So 20* C is actually like 68* F. You might be a little warm in that jacket.
Boiling is 212 and freezing is 32F. 212-32=180.
100C is boiling 0C is freezing. so, 180F ~100C
See where I made my error?
As you can see, it's the transfer in everyday life that's the problem.
My solution? Lay the back of your hand against the window to see if it's cold.
I had edited it to be correct, but maybe the cache had the old one still. Regardless, leg for your method. I typically double Celsius and add 32. You get close enough.
Meh, refer to poem, works well for jacket decisions.
Sure could go for a nice snow cream pie
Here is my approximation of the Baltimore Bomb, one of the signature pies from Dangerously Delicious Pies.
Ingredients:
A standard vanilla chess pie mixture like this one: http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/pie/moms-chess-pie-3.html
(Chess pies might strike you as odd as one of the ingredients is vinegar. But it's really delicious, like a firm custard)
1 box of Berger cookies: https://www.bergercookies.com/
1 uncooked pie shell
1. Prepare the chess pie mixture as per the recipe.
2. Crumble up enough Berger cookies to fill the pie shell.
3. Pour the chess pie mixture into the crumbled cookies until the shell is filled.
4. Bake according to the chess pie instructions.
The cookie part of the cookies will soften and the chocolate icing will melt and the whole mixture will bake into something like a hybrid chocolate cookie pie.
