Game Thread: Twins vs Royals, 8/16 @ 6:10pm CT

[JB_Iowa]

Bro is traveling and bought tickets to the Rockies game tonight, which is now in a water delay, due to a water main break.  Who knows when it'll get played.

 

 

And they aren't playing in Oakland?  Thought that was the land of water main breaks, sewage breaks, etc.

[Craig Arko]

Edamame?

You coax the blues right out of the horn, eda-Mame,

You charm the husk right off of the corn, eda-Mame.

That was my nephew's comment, too, heh.  They are in Denver v Cincinnati.

There's a restaurant near me that serves this appetizer ... sort of an Asian equivalent to chips and guac ... is an edimame dip togarashi chips.  Is actually quite good.

And if I'm looking at that menu... I'm going with the steak

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Because people will pay more for edamame.

edamame is Japanese name for them

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Happy to see Parm beat the shift, I hope Schafer can move them over

[USAFChief]

So Chief was really close with his "soybean" answer!

Chief might have been making a snarky guess.

 

Maybe.

[Riverbrian]

Because they are immature soy beans.  

 

Just boil 'em and salt 'em and done.

Immature? Soybeans cry until they get a puppy.

[JB_Iowa]

I know.

 

Interestingly although I know that they and other types of soy are vegetables, I don't really consider them to be so.

 

My nieces are vegan.  Every time I am at their house, I come home and crave green, leafy vegetables.

[Riverbrian]

Also, people tend to associate "soybeans" with animal food despite the popularity of "soy".

 

Lots of recipes with edamame floating around nowdays.

Animal Food... That's what I eat... My doctor says I have the diet of an average Puma.

[Riverbrian]

Great slide

Schafer: A better hitter than we should have expected, and a worse bunter.

my bride is vegan, she eats a ton of beans and legumes for the protein

They serve that at a nice Italian place in Saskatchewan.

I figure I'm good for awhile... Yesterday I had those Mame things and a salad with croutons.

 

All in ONE DAY!!!

[snepp]

Nice job on 0-2.

Does she let you eat... You know... Umm... Food.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

i have never seen a moose dive for pasta

[Craig Arko]

Holy rally soybeans, Batman!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

yes, I eat with her at home, but eat what I want away from hone, or when I cook for myself. I enjoy her cooking, but also enjoy bacon

[JB_Iowa]

Good for her.  My nieces eat far too much of the stuff made out of soy that mimics meat, etc.

The club did a lot of things right in that inning.

Beer is vegan

I understand... Obviously.. You spend a ton of time apart.

we both hate fake meat. My wife loves meat, but eats vegan to cut out the hormones

I think I could give up meat (and have done so for various periods of time) but I just can't give up dairy.  And although i don't use a dozen eggs in a month, I still want them when i bake.
