They should just cancel the 2020/21 season and start fresh in October 2021.

Owners aren't trying to have a season, they're using Covid as a way to roll back the CBA.

Eat them...

I want my sports to deflect from this bullpoop world.

On a happy note, court yesterday, I got my youngest for another overnight, see him 4 days a week now, all it took was 10k to a lawyer, judge didn't even listen to the ex, she was all, I'm giving the father another night period.

It's not all storm clouds.

lol sounds just like the argument of canceling the 19/20 season/playoffs and starting in October, 2020. Why do people think things will magically get better? If the NHL doesn't bite the bullet and pay for hybrid bubbles forget about hockey. Period.

That's good.

Sister in law is having to go back to court because her ex is using her having to be covid tested as "she's not a fit parent"

All he cares about is that he gets money from her for his cocaine addiction.

That came up, she claimed my older son attending school put my youngest at risk, the judge pointed out that split family is an exemption under the covid rules and can't be used as a reason to exclude access.

My oldest was telling us about the family tree she finished in one of her classes. She told my wife that she put her Dad on the tree beside her Mom but asked why they had different last names.

I can't remember the exact words that came out of my Wife about him not being around but I had to look up like "WOW".

My daughter was like "Ok, I won't mention him again".

Siblings need each other. Mine are 8 years apart but they can't be apart.

Devil's advocate: the truly rich have to make their donations public to inspire others to also give.

Irish American billionaire Chuck Feeney has been praised by Warren Buffett among the world’s richest men as the person who has inspired a ‘giving while living’ pledge by scores of billionaires who have pledged to give away the majority of their fortunes while still alive.

Creole Turtle Soup
Your hardest task will be to find turtle meat. My first advice would be to cruise the Asian markets in your town, if you have any. Or, if you have the funds, you can actually buy wild snapping turtle meat online. It'll cost you, but the tub of meat is enough for several meals. More likely, however, you will be substituting. Alligator is the closest thing to turtle in my experience, and frog legs come pretty close, too. Barring those options, I might use a combination of chicken thighs, pork shoulder and clams. (I've never done it, so you'd have to come up with your own ratio.) You can skip the clams if you think that's too weird, but remember that turtle does have a seafoody taste. Once you've cleared the meat hurdle, everything else is easy.
Prep Time
20 mins
Cook Time
3 hrs
Total Time
3 hrs 20 mins

Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds turtle meat on the bone, or 1 1/2 pounds boneless
4 bay leaves
Salt
1 cup flour
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 celery stalks, minced
1 green bell pepper, minced
1 1/2 cups minced onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 18- ounce can crushed tomatoes
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/3 cup chopped parsley
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Grated zest of a lemon
Black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
Start by making the turtle stock. Put the turtle meat into a large pot and cover with 8 cups of water. Add the bay leaves and about a tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil and skim the scum that floats to the top. Drop the heat to a bare simmer and cook until the turtle meat wants to fall off the bone, about 2 to 3 hours.
Remove the meat from the pot and pull it off the bones. Chop as coarse or as fine as you want. Strain the turtle broth and put it into a pot set over low heat to keep warm.
In a Dutch oven or other soup pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat and stir in the flour. Cook this, stirring almost constantly, to make a roux the color of peanut butter, which will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Add the green pepper, celery and onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Add the chopped turtle meat and stir to combine.
Stir in a cup of the turtle stock at a time until you the soup is the consistency of gravy. Add the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and paprika. Add more turtle broth until the soup thins a bit. It should be thicker than water, thinner than gravy -- like chicken and dumplings if you are familiar with that. Simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
Finish the soup with the sherry, parsley, lemon zest and hard-boiled eggs. Add them all, stir to combine and simmer for a minute or two. Add salt, black pepper and lemon juice to taste. Serve alone or with rice.
