[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Frozen peas are a wonder. I eat them frozen. I also use them as ice packs.
Now I am hungry and I already had oatmeal. A bunch of oatmeal. I should be full.
Instead my arteries are all clear and happily getting blood to my brain so I can fully realize I want some real food. Preferably with bacon.
It's Ro-Tel. A classic.
I read somewhere that a kid needs to try a new dish multiple times (10?) before liking it. This seems to have been true with my kids -- neither liked asparagus when it was first introduced, but they've both become asparagus fiends over the years.
"slumgullion" (etomology unknown)
I believe it's related to 19th-century mining. I know there's a canyon in Colorado by that name.
Heh. I make a cheese, beef, macaroni, and tomato product. It's easy, and these days my cooking choices are all about the easy.
Ro-Tel is a key ingredient in the macaroni salad we ate growing up. Ro-Tel, Cheez Whiz, cubed green peper, macaroni. That's it.
It supposedly came of a 1950s can of Ro-Tel and has persisted in my family for that long.
To this day, I can't do anything with cheese, meat, and noodles smooshed together
Cheese for me is the miracle worker. Put cheese on anything, and I'll have a go at eating it.
I'm all about the easy too. The pizza dough from scratch this weekend was an exception because Leif wanted to make pizza. It's awfully cute to watch a three-year old kneading dough.
"Gothic Charm School: Because friends don't let friends dress like the Crow"
This.
Heh, that's pretty good.
My friend, the former Oxford professor, had a good point about ID. "Fine, teach it in school. It takes up, what? 10 minutes? 'Proponents of Intelligent Design believe ____.' And you're done."
