He had references, including some magazine articles on his work.

He showed us a kitchen redo that was $800,000, for a new kitchen.

Ours won't be that much.

Getting another estimate next week from a company that does a lot of work in our building.

I took a few weeks off from the forum when two Sundays ago I traveled to run a 5k while my daughter ran the Quad Cities Marathon. I actually finished about 3-hours before her, and spent the rest of the time urging her on. She finished 16th of 176 women. I was very proud of her first marathon. I will not attempt to run that distance.

The article linked below is about worst coaching contracts for college football  programs. The Big Ten leads the way. Ferentz, Urban Meyer, and Lovie Smith make the worst-5 per this article. The Big Ten is good at something -- worst coaching contracts. I suspect someone forgot to read Harbaugh's contract before setting out to write. But, I didn't read Harbaugh's contract either before writing this.

Reading between the tea leaves, Lovie Smith gets at least one more year at Illinois. 5-Worst Coaching Contracts - USA Today

No mention of Tennessee on either list?  Interesting.  That certainly goes against @Anonymous Coward 's "the helmets were set as of ~1970 and can never change" thesis.  
well, the Vols have dropped out of the top ten in all-time winning percentage

I like Kobe beef and could cook it just fine as long as I got a killer deal or someone else was buying
I like Blue fin tuna sushi and could serve it outa the kitchen fine, again I'm not buying at market price
haven't have the luck to try the other two, but I could plate up some caviar or google a recipe for the blow fish
If my lotto ticket hits tonight, I probably still wouldn't waste my money on over priced food.  Plenty of high priced food out there that makes me plenty happy and feeling decadent.
And if I win a couple hundred mil, I won't spend $800K on a kitchen

Sandwiches have a lot of weird names, depending on the region.  Hoagies?  Grinders?  Submarines?  

Down here one of my Tex-Mexican buddies brings a taco to work and calls it a sandwich.  No lie.


The best sammich is a Beef, dipped, with giardinaira.

Couldn't do that to you Fearless.Chefs have to be trained for years on the Blow fish - it's poisonous as hell.Has to be dissected very carefully.Every now and then diners keel over dead at the table,probably from the bill - and it prolly sux also.800 K prolly get you a nice RV to tour games & tailgates,like a combination of Gator and Madden.Maybe you can swing over and pick me up,then we can drive down and crash one of 94's backyard BBQ's.I'll tell Cindy I'm volunteering for the Red Cross disaster or sumsuch

Any time you're in town you are most welcome to my backyard BBQ.

Which is of course a food, not an event.

Don't know much about blowfish, but wagyu can be mighty tasty without cooking, as well.  Wagyu carpaccio.  Wagyu tartare.  Mmmm mmmm good.

$800K would take care of quite a few restaurant tabs serving fine beef and seafood

I'd also make a generous donation to Utee's glorious tailgate if he was still hosting.

Be fun to purchase the groceries, and beverages then we could camp in Utee's backyard while he works his magic

This is no joke.  Its really the cabinetry that's the killer, and the range hood and the appliances, and the counters, and the island....    My wife and I have been good checks on each other in this house build, until we got to these cabinets.   Talk about pot stirring.
