Well, I love your stories Ranger... I wish you'd post more of them so
we could read all about your tribe's culinary adventures in recent
times! 'Classic Ranger' is good too! You really should write a book,
either that or get a newspaper column some place.

They don't do "curry" in Thailand. Noodle soups, fried rice, lots of fish
and chicken dishes, beef and chicken sateh. Curry is not Thai.

Have you tried using Napa cabbage?
I find those leaves easier to separate without wilting.

I'm sure they don't call it "curry", the name for green curry, for
example being Gaeng khiew-waan. But, they do make spice pastes
influenced by neighboring India and similar dishes very much like
Indian curries. Either that, or the whole Thai expat World population
is perpetrating the single biggest lie in Thai food history.

Steve deserves nasty responses. He's been after me for every single thing
I've ever posted since he first arrived in RFC. And for no good reason.
He's an ass and I don't reply to him. But I see his replies to my posts
because other people reply to him. It's idiotic, childish behavior. And
almost stalkerish. He morphs regularly into other names to reply to my
posts to attempt to avoid my killfiles. Like a kindergartener, screaming
"waaaaah! I wanna play!" Sorry, but "Steve Wertz" is an idiot with nothing
to contribute to this newsgroup, AFIAK.

I don't dispute that. Voting is purely voluntary. Same as posting here.
Some people do it, some don't <shrug>

FWIW, I like reading The Ranger's "parenting" posts. But I have children
too, so I can relate. Obviously his posts are not everybody's "cup of
tea", so be it. As for how I feel about OT posts in general - I find
some of them good, and some of them bad - which is no different from how
I feel about the *ON topic* posts here. I read and/or post to the ones
that interest me, and bypass the ones that don't. No big deal.

However, what does annoy me is all the harping on about "too many OT
posts". IMHO, it just draws *more* attention to them. I have noticed
that whenever the whining volume about them goes up, the OT threads seem
to *increase* (human nature, "Don't tell me what I can or cannot do" -
simple as that) and therefore so does the whining - it's a vicious
circle...

Don't be a bloody moron if you can help it. Requesting that people stop
or limit OT posts is not the same as starting or continuing an OT thread
and you know it (or should).

See, I'd prefer something milder for that kind of dish since you are
using it as a pasta substitute.

When I use Napa for stuffed cabbage, I stack the separated leaves in the
steamer and steam them for wilting. I think I'd do the same for lasagna.
Please note the below is an original recipe:

http://tinypic.com/333ygrt.jpg

Stuffed Napa Cabbage

16 Napa Cabbage leaves, steam wilted

Stuffing:

2 lbs. fresh ground pork
1 lb. fresh italian sausage
1 bunch fresh thin sliced basil leaves (approx. 1/4 cup)
6 cloves pressed garlic
3 stalks fine chopped celery including leaves
8 oz. fine chopped fresh mushrooms

Mix well, roll into flat balls and place into the large
end of the cabbage leaf, then roll up. Place in the
bottom of a large cast iron pot over a thin layer of
olive oil.

Top with sauce:

2 cans tomato paste
4 medium tomatoes, blanched, peeled and cut into small cubes
8 cloves of garlic, sliced fine
1 medium onion, chopped (pre-cooked until slightly carmelized)
3 bunches of fresh basil leaves, thin sliced
1/2 lb chopped mushrooms
2 stalks fine chopped celery (including leaves)
Generous sprinkling of salt free lemon pepper

Cook over medium heat until the stuffing in the cabbage is done thru.
(approx. 45 minutes). Stir gently occasionally to prevent scorching.

Sexist because, like most men, I am not interested in endless anecdotes
about someone's kids do???
I don't need two or three guys to go to the washroom with me.
I don't go to shopping parties.
I don't read fashion magazines.
I don't wear high heels or pantyhose.
I don't dye my hair or get my legs waxed.

There are female things that most guys don't do, except maybe the Ranger.

I don't know what females you hang around with, Dave, but most of the
women I know don't usually do any of the above, either.

June Cleaver wasn't real even in the 60's.

No, sexist because you refer to the particular characteristic of
talking about kids as "female."

Sorry you have no friends.

Low paying job?

I get the feeling they are a tad beyond your grade level.

Like Kiss or Joe Namath?

I don't think that will really improve you, Dave. Try a new
personality.

Short of tampons and pregnancy, I think you have your head up your
ass.

As I said, you are a sexist. Thanks for the confirmation. You have
also confirmed that you are rather insecure in your own masculinity.

That's not funny.

I have a female co-worker who's husband's boss threatened to fire him if
he ever wanted to stay home with sick children while his wife went to
work. (she earns more than he does). Boss said that _his_ wife did all
the work of child rearing and it was her job, not his and he was dead
serious. It's unfortunate that they need the income.

IOW men have no roll in child rearing according to him.

If you are in the same boat then you are missing out, and I pity you.

I suppose you never played any roll in rearing your children?

That's wrong.

I was lucky to have a GOOD father that played an equal roll and I value
that.

You missed out, but with your attitude, maybe it was for the best for
your kids?

No argument there, but ANY type of cabbage used in place of pasta would
have a different texture. :-)
