JRS, TM, Downs, any of you know what the deal is with the 3 flights (a,b,c) for the regular season???? Are there that many teams? How are playoffs going to run?

Yes.

At 4.0 there are something like 22 teams, so they broke them into 3 flights of 6 or 7 teams each. We play each team twice for a total of about 12 matches.

I think the top two from each group go to playoffs.

Just had the kai rabert dish from Thai By Thai. Good dish. Pretty simple recipe I'm pretty sure. Will see about making it this weekend...will let you know Downs and TM.

I'd be down for a group trip. Could be fun.

i'm going to write the sequel to Winning Ugly by The TennisMonkey. eeked out a 7-5, 6-6 (4-4 in the tiebreak) when time expired. i'm pretty sure a lot of the points wasn't even tennis - more like a wall-less combination of racquetball and ping pong.

but the team won and my partner and i won -- so mini yee haw.

paulman / downs -- i think i'm missing the sour component of the dish. probably lime juice. but i don't think it's that complicated. i still think it's just a variation of minced chicken/pork/beef with basil (preferably holy or thai basil).

i figure: fish sauce, garlic, oil, red or thai chili peppers, sugar or cane sugar, lime juice, thai or holy basil. maybe oyster sauce or soy sauce.

I figure you con alot of your opponents into playing wall-less racquetball with all your trick shots . What frame did you use? O3 Red???

ig speeds 18x20 that were blessed by saint chris of downs himself. i played terrible but it wasn't the stick's fault. my partner and i ran into slicey dicey pushy lollipop serving lobby pair that just junked us up. i'm not used to being outjunked. i need more hitting time with these new sticks.

anyone got time or knows someone who can string two sticks tonight for pickup tomorrow (thursday)? any syn gut or multi will do. hook a brother up.

[sapient007]

just let me know the tension for your main and crosses. i think i have some fresh gut laying around. additionally i will parnell knot at H7 and B3 as well as a mid pull to move the sweet spot to the front of the racquet.

p.s hyabussa FTW

Congrats on eeking out the win TM!

I think you're very close with your version of the dish except I have two key components that may or may not have been recognized:

1. minced chicken is actually ground chicken
2. the sauce is a tamarind based sauce with chili pepper, salt (fish sauce?), and sugar added

Making the egg thinner and crispier would make it better.
Then adding Thai basil to it would be perfect.

The rest of the recipe should all make sense then...now go and fatten up! lol

TM if you don't find someone, I can string one up tonight but I can't promise that I'll wanna do two... You know where to find me at Wally World!

paul -- it's our first win of the season. should be a good season. are you playing this season or taking a break?

i've made a couple of attempts at making kai rabert at home. always using ground chicken and chopped garlic and those little red peppers. i've tried olive oil and peanut oil. always use sugar and fish sauce. i've tried thai basil but can never find holy basil. i've used regular basil and it just plain sucks. i've thrown in bean sprouts and onions. i'll try your suggestion of tamarind. i'm not even sure what that is but i'm sure i've tasted it before. and i think lime juice is part of the sour component. oh and runny fried eggs i think makes the dish. i've also tried it with different rice -- jasmine, sushi, brown. jasmine is best.

zap -- if you set up a twmac tennis outing with all of watching the legends, put me down. i'll go but i'll likely need a ride. i can meet at pretty much any metro stop.
