It's as likely to work out overseas as here. We may
like to imagine we have a monopoly on all that's good
and progressive, but the rest of the world is catching
up, and that's not necessarily a bad thing unless we
actually start backsliding.
Actually from some things I've learned, there are places where medicine
is at least as modern as here... and much less costly, even when the
travel is counted into the cost....
We're not the only first-world country.
Her memory is not of the greatest, and as in the
other two cases, her fridge is too big for someone
living alone (except for when I'm in these places).
So she thinks she has the room.... Still would pay her to utilize the
freezer sooner.... ;)
For sure; the temptation to overbuy is close to
insuperable, especially when you can get 5 lb of
(say) chicken thighs for $5 or 2 lb for the same
cost or sometimes even more.
As for me, I used to slice myself before most
recitals, Freud talking extra loud, but not
badly enough to cancel a performance.
Knew better than to actually disable, I guess... ;) Just the bubbling
up of the don' wanna....
On the money.
Figured.
Some of the things I did well I wasn't
super-enthusiastic about doing.
I suppose there's a little bit of sense to that.... although I'm sure there are seafoods that don't have iodine or mercury issues.... :)
As all sea water has iodine issues, that's less
likely; but she does like to go swimming.
Where, presumably, she'd also get exposure....
One would think, but maybe it's only when ingested.
Even though I don't intentionally let my head go under water, I end up ingesting at least some water when I go swimming.... but perhaps not
enough to say so....
I've never gone swimming swimming with her, and
even if so, there'd not have been the opportunity
watch her technique.
Next time you visit here, we'll probably still have some of the
Lindt 90
bars in stock... I still enjoy eating it, but not particularly
often...
World Market often has them, though, as I avoid
Bethesda now, I don't frequent that any more.
Sometimes TJ's does as well, but it's more
likely to be 80 tops (same with Ghirardelli,
which I prefer, even though it's a subsidiary).
Subsidiary of whom...?
Of Lindt. We were talking about Lindt before,
I think.
Yes we were, but I wasn't sure that was the connection...
Aaah - if it were a subsidiary of Mondelez or
something I'd have said so ... I think.
Well, I've been suggesting (when the subject
comes up) that Ruth avoid recipes that use
ingredients she and Steve don't like, rather than
try outlandish substitutes. I'd suggest that you
find more recipes that use unsweetened chocolate!
I'm afraid they'd tend to be outlandish recipes... especially as I'm
rarely using recipes for my simple cooking... :)
We'll find some. Ever heard of a dish called Brownies?
My standards are perhaps not so stringent,
though my expressions don't generally
include stuff like OMG.
I think I've never used that expression... and don't expect to
ever....
Is there an aesthetic reason, other than
blasphemy (if no, don't answer).
Mostly the latter, although I'm also not much given to hyperbole...
Thought so, but it's a losing battle. You two
are living in a world that must make you shudder.
One can learn to somewhat ignore what others do, while not doing it
one's self....
I've told myself a million, billion times
not to exaggerate. Old joke.
Interesting that to die for and to kill for are
locutions for the same thing. My explanation
for the former, which sounds irrational on the
face of it, is that it'd be something so good
that one would happily risk death as a result
of it - as if foie gras caused immediate heart
attacks on ingestion.
Probably something of the sort... or the thought of being in seventh heaven, it's just so delicious.... :)
Perhaps, but I wouldn't know. The chances of
my being in even the first heaven, well, let's
draw a discreet veil over that.
Well.... seventh heaven is somewhat a hyperbolism on the same order of
OMG and the like....
Not to go overboard, blub, but it has been
part of a lot of religious lore that there
are seven circles of heaven, and as well, some
say, of hell. It's common enough to almost
be a secular trope. Sort of a meme of the
mediaeval period.
I was given a cronut once. It was more to die of,
rather than for. Some fashions are to kill for.
Yup.... and I've also always thought it an odd expression.... again,
hence my surprise....
Maybe the terms were formulated when there was
capital punishment, and they were thus more or
less synonymous.
Now that's a thought....
... Brass players never die, they just blow away.
Glaciers never die, they just floe away.
Nice one, too... :)
The first violist in the orchestra died. What
did they do? Moved him back a stand.
Ah, violist jokes.... Are you the only violist in the echo....? ;)
Do I detect a burn? Or an admonishment?
Fiery Fra Diavolo Sauce
categories: pasta sauce, Italian, vegetarian
Servings: 6
28 oz cn crushed tomatoes
1 yellow onion chopped
5 cloves garlic minced
2 Tb basil chopped
2 Tb olive oil
1 Tb crushed red pepper
1 Tb fresh parsley
1 ts salt or tt
1 ts pepper or tt
1 cn tomato puree (optional for a thinner sauce)
In a high-sided saucepan, heat the olive oil
over medium heat, then add the onion, garlic,
and crushed red pepper. Heat, stirring often,
until the onions have softened (3 to 4 min).
Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
If you like a "saucier" sauce, you can also
add a can of tomato puree here. Turn the heat
to high and bring the mix to a quick boil,
then lower heat to a simmer; cook 10 to 15
min, or to preferred consistency.
Add the parsley and basil. Cook 2 min,
stirring often. Remove from the heat and
allow it to cool for 5 min. Use with cooked
pasta or as a spicy dipping sauce.
Note. Like it spicy? Go a little heavy on
the crushed red pepper, especially if you
opted for a "saucier" sauce.
