Anyone here use agave as a sweetener? Any tips?

Yeah, I do. What application?

I use it instead of sugar or honey in beverages, generally. About a third less of it than I'd use of the other. Haven't tried it for anything but that yet, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Has anyone here ever had foie gras? Is it tasty? or just desired because of its exclusive reputation?

Very tasty. Have you never had liverwurst? It's fancy, gussied up goose liverwurst.

Daisy Jane! They've got a caviar bar in the Ferry Building. You can get a variety of caviars in a variety of ways and a glass of champagne. It's a very deluxe experience.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What application?

Baking mostly, perhaps sweetening drinks such as lemonade (don't sweeten much else).

From poking around, it seems clear that you have to alter the amount of liquids in the recipe to compensate for it being fluid. But what does using agave mean for the standard "beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy" step? Does the agave get combined with the liquids? Or is there any point in beating its non-crystallised self with the butter?

The Smoking Gun put up some of the complaint letters sent to the FCC about the Superbowl.

It was obscene to show Prince, a HOMOSEXUAL person through a sheet, as to show his siluette while his guitar showed a very phalic symbol coming from his below-midriff section. I am very offended and would preffer not to have showed it to my 4 children who love football. One of them has hoped to be a quarterback and now he will turn out gay. I am actually considering to check him for HIV. Thanks CBS for turning my son GAY.

All very much [sic].

The closing is great, but I think my favorite part is "below-midriff section."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That... that can't actually be serious, can it?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My favorite part is "One of them has hoped to be a quarterback and now he will turn out gay."

OK, that's actually very sad, but still my favorite part.

Why does this person think Prince is gay? Is it that "If he's weird and an entertainer, he must be gay" thing?

Our wings are not tired.

Guess my boys will escape turning gay since they refused to watch the Prince half-time show with me. I did crank it really loud though, so maybe they will catch a bit of teh gay.
