Make sure you spell "college" correctly if you have to do any writing for your application!

Seriously, though. I'm an English teacher. PM me when the time comes and I'll double check your work.

We visited friends in LA and were introduced to Zankou's garlic sauce. It was a revelation. My wife and I are good cooks, so after doing a bit of research, we found out what it's called and how to make it at home.

It's called toum (which means garlic, go figure), and it's an emulsion (like mayo). Here's how we make it:

• Crush 5 - 6 cloves of garlic into a paste consistency with a fork. Add 1/4 tsp kosher salt to help this process and for... you know... the salt.

• Throw it into a food processor.

• Turn on the processor, and the garlic will be chucked to the edge of the bowl. No biggie. SLOWLY add Canola oil (use no other type!) until the blades JUST start to catch the oil and turn the soon-to-be sauce into a cum-like consistency. Add in a touch of lemon juice, and then an egg white.

• Resume slowly adding Canola oil and a little lemon juice every so often. SLOWLY. Don't rush it, I think that's how it gets messed up. When we make a batch, we'll use about 3/4 of a cup total.

• If everything goes right (which for us only happens about 75% of the time), the emulsion will catch and it'll turn to a thick creamy garlic sauce. The rest of the time it looks like a bowl full of jizz. Fuck me if I know why, we make it the same every time, but it's just finicky. My wife found an awesome fix if this happens: add a few scoops of cottage cheese! It's enough protein to make the emulsion form, and it doesn't affect the flavor.

I know you'll probably never read this, but if you do, try it out. It's amazing to be able to have your own garlic sauce at home.

Oh and you are super hot!

As a gun and Zane Lamprey enthusiast, the footage of a drunk Zane Lamprey checking ten times whether an AK-74 was loaded would be... life-fulfilling.

Please tell me you looked down the barrel at least once!

How about roads, bridges, and dams? Things like that? What is the libertarian model for large-scale infrastructure?

For reference, I built this .40 size Tweplica from plans and plywood last winter. It took 43 days and for a total of about 130 hours I'd say. (It was my first ever build. I don't know if I'll ever do something like it again!)
