First Of The Year!!! Recipe Wrap #1: Banh Mi Pickled Veggies
And on the 5th game, there was a recipe...
These, my friends, are pickled daikon and carrots. They are an essential ingredient in one of the very best foods on the planet: banh mi sandwiches.
If you haven't had banh mi, you need to hurry your butt on down to Eat Street or University Avenue and grab one of these $3 delights at a place like Quangs, Jasmine Deli, Trieu Chau, or the Trung Nam French Bakery.
If you don't want to leave the house, here's a quick way you can make one of these dittys at home.
- 1-2 carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 1 daikon radish, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- salt, to taste
- 1/2 cup sugar plus 1-2 T
- 1 1/4 cups white vinegar
- water
- If you want to make a quick banh mi sandwich, simply take a day old roll of french bread and warm it in the microwave for 15 seconds wrapped in a wet washcloth. Remove, slice in 1/2, spread on some Mayonnaise mixed with some cock sauce (or a sweeter chili sauce) before adding a lunch meat or pate of your choice, a few sprigs of cilantro, some sliced jalapeño peppers, and your pickled veggies. You can use any type of bread for these sandwiches, but crusty roll bread works best. Also, instead of meat, you can use some canned seitan/mock duck.
- You should be warned in advance that much like the Timberwolves, while these veggies look nice, when you open them, they stink to high heaven. You may want to crack a window or open them outside if they have been in your fridge for more than 1-2 days.
- These veggies also go good with steak and chicken.
- You can make a fusion banh mi by using a tortilla.

I am going to copy it
When I get back home to Saint Paul I am going to paint my Kitchen that color.
S-n-P's pictures focus on that one corner of the kitchen
because the rest of the wall is a Kevin Love mural that’s he’s too embarrassed to share.
I haven't written an insightful post in years.
I find it weird that, for all the awful-looking things he does, Corey Brewer somehow ends up being one of our better players most nights
Tonight he scored 12 points on 7 shots, hit all 6 of his free throws, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, no turnovers
And Beasley better get back soon
No excuse for the lack of effort tonight, but missing Beas, Webster and Jonny does significantly cut into our talent level
Banh Mi's are the best
Thanks, colonialism!
Also, the community is the only part of the Wolves worth paying attention to right now. Thanks, folks. You’re what keeps me coming back.

maybe he's right handed
My four year old tends to throw balls with his left hand because he always holding something to eat in his right hand. Perhaps Darko went through the same thing and never went back to his right hand. A little physical therapy should straighten him out.

Looks like the regular season
Continues to be our offseason.
But I’d still rather watch the wolves than our traveling circus NFL team.

let's take a look at the 2011 Hoopus draft board
Let’s turn those frowns upside down!
Well, Orlando and Miami are making a lot of teams look bad. Orland beat Washington by 30 points, lost to Miami, and now beat the Wolves by (I’m too scared to look at the final score). Miami has destroyed everyone except Boston in the first game as a new team.
So, as bad as the Wolves looked, chances are they can’t look that much worse. Now granted, I didn’t see the Heat crush New Jersey, so maybe the point differential doesn’t do the Wolves justice. But I’m assuming that New Jersey and Washington looked just as bad.
Now, being as bad as Washington and New Jersey isn’t a good thing, but it’s about where I expected this team to be this year. So color me not shocked.
I think the Memphis loss was much, much worse than these last two.
I haven't written an insightful post in years.
Washington's loss to Orlando was really bad
They didn’t lose by as much in the scoring column, but they got beat on just as much as we did. Really the only difference was Orlando’s bench started clowning around in the second half. But the Wizards were completely helpless that night, and looked even more lost than we did, if you can believe that. Even the announcers commented on how undisciplined the team was.
Wow.
That was one of the most one-sided games I can ever remember. Throw away the stat sheet — nobody played well. I felt bad for them at times because this was far-more about ability than it was about effort. Rebounds couldn’t be reached because only Dwight Howard could reach them. The only shots we could find were Darko Prayers or running-off-a-pick jumpers. Love’s usually-helpful stuff wasn’t helpful because he wasn’t filling in the gaps as much as he was leaned on for some primary scoring.
Is Beasley that good, or are we in for another sub-20 win season?
I haven’t even mentioned our defense. Why so much help on Quentin Richardson post-ups? Why so much help EVERYWHERE? Orlando took 31 3’s and I think every one of them was an open shot because we were helping somebody out. Is every Wolf a bad one-on-one defender? Paul Pierce doesn’t need much help, and he’s not half as quick as Brewer. Man, we are terrible defensively. No improvement from last year, that I can see.
This game validated my feelings about last night: Miami wasn’t as good as the Wolves were bad — especially on defense. These contenders play a lot of games that are close when the 4th Quarter starts.
Rambis is going to start feeling pressure. I hope that tightens his damn rotation and his best players get the most minutes. His job will depend on it, because nobody in their right mind will watch this team lose by 74 points in consecutive games.
I'll go out on a limb and predict
that the Wolves have a new head coach next season. Unfortunately, the POBO has more job security (he gets to wait until the Rubio situation is resolved).
Don't you think
Rambis gets to stay for a year of Rubio? Since the team is being built for the Rubio run triangle, wouldn’t it be a waste of a couple of years to throw that out the window? Maybe with the team we have + Rubio we’d be better off not running the triangle but I think they might as well give him a year with Ricky
"Brian Cardinal left Purdue being the only Boilermaker to receive both the "Mr. Hustle" Award and the "Courage" Award four years in a row"
I think Rambis and/or Kahn will be gone if we have another sub-20 win season
Teams just don’t have two under-20 win seasons in a row very often. I only have data going back to 2001, but during that period the worst that a sub-20 win team did in the following season was 25 wins. The average number of wins for teams who won less than 20 in the previous year is 32 wins. So we’d be witnessing a pretty impressive level of incompetence if that’s what happens.
I still think the jury is out for this team. Evidence is piling up that doesn’t look too good (I’m looking at you, Rambis and Darko), but there are some players who I think could develop into decent players on a good team. (Love, Beasley, Wes, and Webster may be starter quality; and Pekovic, Tolliver, Flynn, and Ridnour seem like solid bench players.)
These guys have only played five regular season games together. One of their best players (Webster) has been missing for all of them and another (Beasley) was missing for the last one. I’m not trying to make excuses for them, but there are reasons to believe that it could get better. That said, I have my doubts that Rambis is the guy to make that happen. He just doesn’t seem like the kind of coach who gets the most out of the players he has.
I’m still giving them until January to come together. In January, they have 9 home games and 5 road games with only one back-to-back at the end of the month. If they can’t play respectably by then, you can fire the whole organization as far as I’m concerned.
Kahn is far more likely than Rambis to be fired...
If only because Rambis has a 4 year contract as opposed to Kahn’s 2 year contract (which I believe expires this year).
Chris Wright in his Canis Hoopus interview said the business side was expecting the wolves to compete for the playoffs. While I can imagine them being mildly disappointed at 30 wins…anything below 20 wins seems like a death knell for Kahn.
I'm ready to be swayed Wesley Johnson!!
I don't think either of them go anywhere until Rubio's played a full year
And really, this is the first year of the team having any sort of expectations for itself, minimal as they are. We’re sick of the losing because as fans, we’ve been on this rebuilding thing for what feels like forever, but when you think about it, this is the first year Kahn and Rambis have a roster they’d consider “theirs”….so in a way, we’re like, 6 months into the actual rebuilding
Only because Kahn and Rambis
waited a full year to acquire players they wanted… including a draft in which we had four first-round picks.
That’s not standard-operating procedure for NBA teams. Those four first-rounders (even allowing for one of them being Rubio) should be showing long-term potential right now, and they’re not.
You're right, Luke Babbitt isn't showing much potential right now
Sorry….couldn’t resist ;)
Seriously though, I think what happened is more or less standard operating procedure for a team that changes its GM and coach while rebuilding. It wasn’t like we could just move what we had last year and get good returns on those guys. Last year was about clearing house, and Kahn did that pretty well, all things considered. We had a roster that wasn’t working, but we also couldn’t afford to just sell players off for nothing. The mere fact he got Rubio out of it alone is pretty positive. Think about what the Cavaliers have right now….they’re pretty much in the same situation as us last year. New coach, new GM, and a roster stocked with pricey players who don’t form a winning team (or even a good one…) They’ll take this year to do what we did last year….take the hits, strategize how to get rid of the players they don’t want, and then plan for the future.
Like S-n-P has said, it’s questionable whether the results are going to be there or not, but the team is taking a prudent course to rebuilding.
I'ma get heat fo dis
but i thank if we stick with Darko he will be betta…at least as good as lass year, when he wuz out uv shape. im de first ta hat eon his play so far but afta all dat cash we layed out mayn i mean it is whut it is gotta see whuss poppin…for whut iss wort i wuz up close on opening nigh an he wuz much bigger den Cousins

MAYN HOL UP!
Mayn ain't smokin on this
I agree that Darko can and should get better, especially offensively. To me it looks like he’s developed some crappy shooting habits and needs work on just squaring his body up to the rim. Once he squares up he’ll be much more dangerous as a passer and as a shooter. Lambeer and the other coaches need to work with him on this. The athleticism and footwork are there. That charge he took on Howard early tonight was due to his quick feet.
After 7 years
Why is he forgetting these basic basketball skills, skills he supposedly had as a precocious 17 year old? I can’t say I share your optimism.
If it wasn't for Jordan Farmar and that guy Kevin Love, I would've killed somebody!
It's absolutely baffling to read the old pre-draft scouting reports on Darko.
Things like “handles the ball and runs the floor like a guard,” and “has range out to the 3-point line” are in there. What on God’s green earth happened to that guy?! It’s more than just a loss of confidence. There is absolutely, positively, no trace whatsoever of the things pre-draft Darko was supposedly able to do.
The Orlando announcers..
….mentioned it a few times. “Why people continue to try and make this guy a post player, I’ll never know” was the one I remember the most.

Who's gonna score?
I thought I was done with this question this year, but man we threw out some janky lineups tonight. It sucks when you’re watching as Telfair swings the ball to Ellington, who drops it in to a posted up Koufos, who kicks it back out to Brewer, who sends it in on the other side to Darko, isolated against the best defender in basketball for a prayer or a leaning, falling hook/scoop shot. I just don’t know what the coach expects to have happen when he fields lineups so sorely lacking in offensive talent. I know we’re injured, but man!
If it wasn't for Jordan Farmar and that guy Kevin Love, I would've killed somebody!
I hate to say it
But we are actually missing J-fly right now. He will score, and bring energy to the second unit without making you cringe every time he takes a shot. He may never pass, but still..

We need some patsies
Our only chance for a victory on this road trip was against Memphis and we came out lazy. Miami wanted to prove something because of Tollivar’s video and we were the first team Orlando was going to play after they got crushed by Miami. We need some games against weak teams to get confidence back. Maybe we can play the gophers.
