Profiles in Rickery: Ricotta

Our newest profile is that of a special dairy product, ricotta.  People think it is cheese, and I did as well, but it is not.  Not technically, at least.  It's really a product made from the byproducts of cheese-making.  The Italians really love ricotta, so if you're making Italians dishes, consider adding some ricotta.  I might.

The internet tells me that it's actually really easy to make:

"The Rick Show"

I promised you, dear reader, that I would find you some The Rick Shows for your enjoyment.  Through this process you can see both what this ricking world is coming to and why we need Rick Show as much as ever.

In this Youtube video, our hosts (Rick Fields and Rick Woods, apparently) provide what I guess is practice for their morning "drive-time" radio show in 20 years?

Mark Richt

Mark Richt is the head football coach at the University of Georgia.  Since we're working our way towards the 2012 NCAA season, let's talk about him.  He's been there since 2001, which is kind of a long time in today's football landscape.  He's got a 106-38 record.  That's better than I thought he had.  He does not like being asked about suspensions of his players.  In fact, he resents it:

In 2008, FSN South did us a favor and spent some time with Mark and his wife in their home, so here's that (After the jump):

Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat

As I've noted before, pro wrestling and the Rick name go hand-in-hand. Rick Show has taught me a lot about wrestlers and their histories.  That's why we are talking about Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.  

There are a few problems I have after doing my research, however:

First off, his birth name is Richard Henry Blood. Blood! His given name was Blood and he went by Steamboat?! (He took the Steamboat name from another Hawaiian wrestler, but still...seems like a waste)

Secondly, why you feel the need to add "The Dragon" when your last name is Steamboat, I don't understand. I feel like there's got to be something cool you could just do with Steamboat. I suppose that's why I'll never be tasked with creating a successful pro wrestler, though.
