Don't be a twit. I have read 2 or 3 posts at most, that's all it took.

My guess is that you REALLY read every post and want some company in
your stupidity. Sorry, you'll have to get someone else.

Actually, Peter if you *had* read a few more posts in this thread, you
would see that quite a large number of them have reverted back to
food-related stuff. Unfortunately, only a few people have bothered to
change the subject line to indicate this, which I am also guilty of a
lot of the time myself. However, I am trying to train myself to *change
the subject line*, so please be patient.

Well I have already been shown what they are, but there wouldn't be much

Used to go there myself in the 70's while we were living in San Francisco.
They ran next door to get the chips after you ordered.
Odd you should mention that, DH is just now writing a sympathy card to a

Congratulations on your 12 years together! Time flies, doesn't it?


Here's a chicken recipe I plan to make soon. I've made a similar
marinade using hoisin and honey (or molassas) - so raspberry & orange
sounds interesting.

Barbecued Raspberry Hoisin Chicken
from Eating Well
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
¾ cup hoisin sauce (see Ingredient Note)
5 tablespoons rice vinegar, divided
1 clove garlic
1 strip (2-by-½-inch) orange zest
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed, each cut into 3
crosswise strips
2 ½ cups water
1 cup long- or medium-grain brown rice
½ cup thinly sliced scallion greens, divided

Instructions
1. Combine raspberries, hoisin sauce, 3 tablespoons rice vinegar,
garlic, orange zest, ginger, pepper and crushed red pepper in a
blender or food processor. Blend or process until smooth, about 1
minute. Set aside 1/4 cup for a dipping sauce.

2. Transfer the remaining marinade to a medium bowl and add chicken;
stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24
hours.

3. Combine water and rice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until most of the liquid has
been absorbed, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand,
covered, until ready to serve.

4. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler to high.

5. Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the marinade, scrape off excess
(discard marinade), and thread onto 4 skewers, distributing equally.

6. Grill the chicken until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes
per side. If using the broiler, place the chicken on a broiler pan
coated with cooking spray and broil 4 inches from the heat source
until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

7. Just before serving, sprinkle the rice with the remaining 2
tablespoons vinegar and 1/4 cup scallions; fluff with a fork.
Sprinkle the chicken and rice with the remaining scallions. Serve
with the reserved dipping sauce.

Tips
Marinate for up to 24 hours before grilling. | Equipment: 4 skewers
Ingredient note: Hoisin sauce is a thick, dark brown, spicy-sweet
sauce made from soybeans and a complex mix of spices. Look for it in
the Asian section of your supermarket.

That'd be pretty funny if someone took an hour or two and put that
together, but things are way too fluid for it to be valid.

My only issues with anyone here are over crappiness, like using bad
ingredients, trans-fatty shortenings, etc.
There is no excuse for posting a recipe that uses non-dairy whipped
topping (Cool Whip).

Although likely to elicit some well deserved groans, I must paraphrase
Dr. Freud, and say, "Sometimes a grilled cheese sandwich is just a
grilled cheese sandwich."

Isn't Google the absolute pits for reading rfc? It's good in a
pinch... I used it during the last two weeks while I was on vacation,
but it's purely funcional - I lost interest very quickly in keeping up
with what was happening here. For instance, I didn't see this entire
thread until I got home and started reading via Agent. Wait!
Considering what transpired, maybe that's a good thing! LOL

Did you eat all of that pound cake in one sitting or do you have
leftovers? You can make a trifle with the remainders if you have any
crumbs left.

The Brits have what are called "whelk stalls." I did a search and got
this:

In Reply to: Whelk stall posted by S. on April 01, 2003

: What is a "whelk stall"?

A stall in this sense is a small booth or stand from which one does
trade (as in market stall). A whelk stall is therefore one that sells
whelks, a whelk being some unfortunate marine mollusc that's used as a
foodstuff in Europe. They're a traditional feature in the UK, and
whelk
stalls can be found here to this day in the UK, mainly in seaside
towns. I have no idea how the whelks they sell are prepared for
eating,
but having tried one once, I can confirm that they taste like gritty
bits of soft rubber pickled in strong vinegar. A whelk stall is also
liable to offer cockles and mussels for sale, and maybe prawns and
jellied eels as well.

This first thing to look at is the "number of posts" that occur in
their profile. High posters, (over 800 per month) have a very high
potential to be bullshit artists, in addition to being a very lonely
pathetic person. They have no life other than trying to tell the rest
of the world how to think and live.

It should be the first article in the FAQ.

Andy I had my own tall BUM, (DH was a Merchie Bum) so I wasn't noticing
anyone else..
I only went there when DH was in town and after we were married. I DID
notice there were a lot of guys there, some cute, some not so cute, some in
their cups, too! But as DH is 6-2-1/2; I must've liked the tall guys.

P.S. What were you wearing? HaHa.

Probably shorts and a Raiders t-shirt, after getting off the Larkspur
ferry.

Dice up some tomato, slice up a medley of colored bells and some
onion. Saute diced tomato in some OO and to make it just slightly
saucy, then add the bells and onion. Mix in with pasta.

Meat lovers can toss in some browned Italian or andouille sausage.

>Chicken fajita? What's the correct seasoning for that?

It all depends on what you like on your chicken. Most people use a
fajita mix. I don't think that far ahead and just use leftover
chicken from whatever.... mainly roast bird and add what I like for
the other fixings.
