Fisher v. Texas
This is a case going before the Supreme Court soon regarding affirmative action at my university. It's a big deal around here, needless to say. You are welcome to comment on the case here. Please don't be racist.

Xenocide
Would it be wrong to fight a war of extermination against a separate sentient species? With or without provocation, as in they started the war, and we are just finishing it, or we both compete for the same scarce resources so we wipe them out.

Sorry About That aka I'm Not Dead
Yeah, not much more I can say beyond that. Nothing bad or tragic, all good things actually, I just didn't have time to tie up loose ends with WebDip in a responsible manner before having to jet. Hope everything is well in this community. I do miss the game and the people, at least most of you! =P Would be interested in seeing if I still know how to play some time.

Affirmative Action
In my opinion it is time to get rid of Affirmative Action and its racist ideals, and this supreme court case will hopefully make AA less racist.

I've been thinking about what herbs to use for my chicken
when I make Mexican wraps. I fry chicken, then add paprika and some corn, mesh some avocados into a good guacamole sauce (some lemon, little garlic, you know) and some "creme fraiche" with mild chili. But now I want to spice up my chicken. Post recommendations here please. :-)
guacamole sauce? I think I have found the whitest person in America.

To answer your question though I put Old Bay on everything
ghug (5068 D(B))

SC, what are you talking about? You don't put guacamole sauce and creme fraiche in your Mexican wraps?
Should call it a Greewich Connecticut "ethnic" wrap

cilantro usually goes good with guacamole. Something in the combination gives off a flavour oddly similar to bacon.
ha alright then I guess it's allowed. Look into cilantro. Old Bay might be hard to find for you, its cajun seasoned salt
redhouse1938 (429 D)
06 Oct 12 UTC
Okay thanks guys, cilantro+cajun sounds excellent. I'm going to open this thread to Mexican food in general and yield the floor to Mr. Clausowitz here.
cayenne pepper too, I really like Green tabasco and Chipotle flavored tabasco too.
redhouse1938 (429 D)
06 Oct 12 UTC
Okay this is good stuff I'll be handing out some +1s to y'all.
ha I'm no cook. I just know cajun seasoning is good in Guacamole in my opinion.
Onar (131 D)
06 Oct 12 UTC
Also, red onions.
flc64 (1963 D)

cumin...leave the Old Bay for cajun food.
I agree with the cumin and cilantro recommendations. Diced white onion is good too, and jalapeno peppers. You can buy jalapenos in jars if you don't have fresh available.
Invictus (240 D)

Mix some Angostura bitters with the "guacamole sauce." I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Try out some of the rubs at the supermarket--at ours, the butchers will unwrap a whole fryer, rub it with seasoning, and rewrap it at no extra charge, and there are maybe eight seasonings to choose from. Second, please add some good salsa to your guacamole. If you have good salsa, then most people might want a little salt, maybe some garlic (the chopped up kind in a little jar is extremely handy), and that's it! For a little more advanced guacamole, try a little lime or lemon juice (not too much), chopped up cucumbers, cilantro as has been mentioned, maybe black pepper. And remember that there are two main strains of Mexican food in the U.S.: Tex-Mex and SoCal. The ingredients I listed are for SoCal Mexican, but if you like Tex-Mex, you might want to experiment with your own rub recipes. Look online and try out a mixture of any or all of the following: chili powder, paprika, oregano, cumin (comino), garlic or garlic powder, onion or onion powder, and I'm probably leaving something important out. And let us know how it tastes. But please, never, never call guacamole "guacamole sauce," or we'll know that you're really a Soviet spy who's just masquerading as an all-American boy.
Mujus (1495 D(B))
06 Oct 12 UTC
Never--I'm watching you.
Mujus (1495 D(B))
06 Oct 12 UTC
Oh, and try leaving the Mexican cream out for a fresher taste. But both ways are good!
You're frying chicken in a frying pan which you didn't fry onions in first!?!?!? Come on guys, get it right.

Heat a little oil (hot enough sizzle) then add a chopped onion. Add some garlic salt and plenty of Lee & Perrins Worcestershire sauce. Cook them for a couple of minutes and *then* add the chicken. Your other recipes can all carry on from this point.

Who the hell likes cilantro? It smells and tastes like rotten, bitter mint leaves.

Alright, I'm done hijacking/trolling

I prefer homemade salsa with a little bit of habanero powder mixed in. Good taste and a medium kick.
Draugnar (0 DX)
07 Oct 12 UTC
Why the hell would you use habanero powder? Go buy fresh habanero peppers and chop one up very finely.
redhouse1938 (429 D)

Thanks guys.
>Has more than enough ideas.

Gunfighter06 (224 D)

I do use fresh habaneros. I dry them and powder them myself. Besides, it's really easy to screw up and put in way too much by just cutting them very finely.

Then again, I probably should not have posted at all. The majority of Mexican food is revolting.
Octavious (2701 D)
08 Oct 12 UTC
Surely you jest, Gunfighter? How could a national cuisine based aound the concept of covering meat that's been in the sun too long with so many spices that you don't notice possibly be revolting?

Ah, the old spices cover up rotten meat gag. At least your barbarism is humorous.

I need the Mexican food guys. Dutch cuisine is based around tasteless potatoes spiced up by tasteless vegetables and minced meat. Thank god we get to eat some cheese after dinner.

*and ladies, of course. Guys and ladies, and thanks to Mrs. Celticfox for the sriracha tip: I'll be certain to throw some of that in too. Anyone care for a youtube resume of my future work in this area?

08 Oct 12 UTC
I do agree with gunfighter about cilantro though. Tastes like dish soap.
Octavious (2701 D)
08 Oct 12 UTC
@ Red

Some say tasteless, others say subtle. Besides, if it is anything like British cuisine the delicate background flavours can be enhanced by the twin taste sensations of "salt" and "burnt"

Little short on cash right now :-(
My wife, who detests cilantro, read some article saying there's actually two types of people with a marked physiological difference between them. Most people are fine with cilantro. The other group is missing (or has an extra, I forget which) something or other that makes cilantro taste like dish soap. It's not just a taste preference issue, there's actually something biological.
redhouse1938 (429 D)
08 Oct 12 UTC
To me cilantro does not taste like soap. It's been a while I ate it, but I don't remember that particular taste at all.

make drunken chicken using tony chacheres or zatarains, actual cajun seasoning, not old bay which is chesapeake bay seasoning best left for crabs.

Atheist/Agnostic Judge for "The Great Debate" Needed
811 posts in, but we're nearly there, we have all the debates submitted to judges...we just have a bit of a problem there.

We had 5, went down to 3, and now we have 4 (it works 2 atheists, 2 Christians, 1 neutral) and we need an atheist judge...so, anyone up for it? (The sooner we scare up a judge, the sooner that thread goes away...?) :)
