Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

Open Gameday Thread, 3/23

Tim Lincecum and Randy Johnson against the Mariners. Johnson promised that he was "going to put one in Pinella's earhole," and no one really wanted to correct him, so this should be interesting.

If you want to know how baseball would be different if the MLB schedule were only 16 games like the NFL schedule, here's a good indication. Lincecum would start every game, and Johnson would come in when Lincecum was fatigued.

Con: less baseball.
Pro: the Giants would probably be contenders.

I gotta go with the "pro" on this one. I'll send an e-mail to Bud.

Anyone know how to make peanut sauce without using a food processor? Someone broke mine and nobody will cop to it, and my new family only has a shitty blender that doesn’t work very well. I wanted to make some pad thai for dinner but without a food processor for the sauce I don’t think I can do it.

How finely do you need the peanuts processed? We’ve made peanut butter with the kids at school by having them use rolling pins – put the peanuts in a baggie – and roll away. At one child’s suggestion we once tried using a hammer to mash them, I don’t recommend this method, unless you have some latent hostilities you’re looking to let go of.

We can’t make peanut butter anymore… too many kids have allergies to peanuts!

The recipe I have says to put peanut butter, scallions, and hoisin sauce in a food processor and process until smooth. I was going to do the peanuts in a baggie with a rolling pin anyway but would it give the same flavor if I just went with crushed peanuts in the oil?
