  1. Good news about Bernie. Has anyone come across a good analysis of the real numbers — i.e., how much people lost of actual principal they invested with him as opposed to how much the rpess accounts of incvestors’ losses are based on phony statement income (unrealized gain)? Curious what % on the dollar restitution is likely to produce using investment principal as the basis.

  2. “That will be beautiful cobble. It has been making me sick thinking of him chilling in his penthouse these past few months.”

    Likewise wasder. I just read that he wears a bullet proof vest.

    I want to know if there is any way to force him into performing some kind of service to humanity, in addition to any possible restitution, instead of sitting in jail playing cards for the rest of his days. Maybe serving the elderly, cleaning bed pans would be good.

  3. Here’s one…goes great with Mac & Cheese too…

    Beef brisket is on sale right now because of St. Patrick’s Day so take advantage buy a whole one still in the vacuum pack cut it in half and freeze half. You usually have to ask the butcher for a whole uncut one. The one’s they put out in the case on the Styrofoam tray wrapped in plastic are half briskets. Don’t be scared that their too big, they will shrink considerably during cooking.

    BBQ Beef Brisket (for people without a BBQ)

    -Take one beef brisket (not Corned beef) cut off some (not all) of the excess fat from the bottom.
    -Place in large (preferably Pyrex) baking dish/pan
    -Cover with one bottle of Kraft original BBQ sauce (there’s a reason for using the Kraft original it’s tomato based and has a lower sugar content so it wont burn – if you use something else don’t say I didn’t warn you!)
    -Cover with foil
    -Bake approx. 5-8 hrs (depends on size) at 250 degrees until it falls apart when you rake a fork over it.
    -Remove foil continue baking and basting (to get a good coating) for a half an hour.

    let rest at least 20 minutes and slice or shred.

    Tastes great on a roll with cole slaw.

  4. Yes, BRG….Buy two tamales at the little shop on Hoyt between State & Atlantic. Get the pork ones…they are homemade delicious and $1.50 each!!! Re-steam them and cover with your favorite verde sauce. Fantastic.
