Is a watt while riding on the flats the same as a watt going up a hill?

Dunno but if you ride through Watts wearing full spandex you will either get faster or get capped.

The best pie is Key Lime. Here is the best recipe.

* 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (3 to 4 limes)
* 4 teaspoons grated lime zest
* 4 egg yolks
* 1 - 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
* 11 graham crackers
* 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

PREP WORK

It's easier to remove the lime zest from whole limes so I would start with that. Then I would cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice being careful not to include any pits.

Process the graham crackers in a food processor or blender and then melt the butter and have it at the ready.
HOW TO MAKE AT HOME

1. Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest together in a bowl until tinted light green. This takes about 2 minutes

2. Beat in milk, then juice and set aside at room temperature till it thickens.

3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

4. Mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar in another bowl.

5. Add butter and stir with a fork until well blended.

6. Pour this mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and press over the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Try using the bottom of a measuring cup to make sure the graham cracker mixture forms a firm crust on the bottom of the pie pan.

7. Bake on the center rack for about 15 minutes until the crust is lightly brown, remove and let cool to room temperature.

8. Pour the lime filling into crust, spread evenly, and then bake for 15 minutes until the center sets, but still wiggles when shaken.

9. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.

10. Refrigerate for at least three hours until well chilled.

Some of you might like to serve it with a whipped cream topping or a meringue topping, but I prefer keeping it simple. If the pie seems to be sticking to the pan when serving, try dipping the pan into a bowl of warm water to loosen it.

Besides, your dog does appear to be stoned. If I could get Sam to smoke bongs I would, it might calm him down.

You are sorely mistaken. The best is peach pie. I'd share the recipe, but it's a family thing. And quite frankly I'm afraid if I broke the oath, my ancestors would do the whole zombie thing.

Your daughter would love him, he has a wonderful temperament and will play fetch all day long. I think my cat's a stoner too, all he does is sit around and gets the munchies. You ever seen a 23lb cat on the pipe?

-1. I hate red bikes. Which is all the more disconcerting because I'm buying one this spring.

You take that back! Everybody who belongs in this subforum knows that the best pie is made out of the souls you've crushed in your last race. Add a zest of tears to the finished product and you've got yourself some delicious pie.
Serve with EPO, if you have the means, I highly recommend it.
