There is a segment on youtube Ramsay's with James May. It's pretty bawdy.
Then they go on to have a competition with 'fish pie.'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKEPPw5Jd2M (Almost 10 minutes) I'd never
heard of fish pie previously.
James May obviously drinks a lot throughout.

So fish pie takes on a new meaning to me. :-))) Glad you mentioned it.
Thanks.

I did nothing but congratulate her for an anniversary and she accused me of
posting some (whatever) about her when I did no such thing. You were quick
to jump on that kill Jill bandwagon, I see. I've never said a thing against
you, either, but you seem to think it's a good idea to agree long time

I ordered a (plain) quesadilla once and received two tortillas with cheese
in between.
I was ill and wanting some comfort food, something plain. I recall it as
being completely large and cut into 6 pieces (pizza type slices). To me, a
quesadilla can go from there; i.e., having any little addition of veggies,
chorizos, shrimp, hot sauces, anything you can think of.

The main difference between it and a taco and burrito is that a taco is
folded over, a burrito is rolled up, a quesadilla 2 tortillas are used, one
on bottom, one on top; but a quesadilla is grilled in some fashio.

Using one's imagination, if the tortilla were not too large, you could put
it in a panini grill.

Incidentally, I have been around for much longer than you seem to remember!

Was it two or three years ago that you wrote to me because I live in
Scotland, expecting me to do your family history for you. When I said I
didn't even have time to do my own you soon decided I wasn't worth knowing.
So, when I was praising kili for her kindness and accused you of only being
interested in taking, I knew of what I spake <G>

Same here Margaret,
I think the whole thing may have gone away if so many people hadn't acted
with outrage at Jill.
Just one little thing and Vwoom.....
Just too many people fanning the flames. A private email or a phone call and
it could all be sorted? Maybe..
Life is too short for blaming people and who said what. IMO.
I don't think Dams is in the mood for a flame war, there are few posts from
her about the issue, I'm sure she has bigger things to be concerned with at
the moment.
anyway, don't want to make the issue bigger than it is.
Hope they can both let bygones be bygones and start over as before.
It did get kind of OTT at one stage!

another shrimp omelet.

Mine frequently end up with meat in them, as well.

And then there are grilled peanut butter sandwiches. Mmmmmmmm.

Sarah, I like both ladies very much. Jill has a heart of gold. And
the quick temper of a Scotch lassie. As for Carol, she has had a couple
of really difficult years and still has. I admire her for her ability
to cope and keep on making the best of what life is dealing her right
now. If I ever need a friend, I would not hesitate to ask either one to
lend me a shoulder to cry on. Or anything else.

Yesterday should have been a day of celebration, because our Damsel was
back. This was not a good Welcome.

You are right. Left to their own devices, Carol and Jill would have
exchanged a couple of words, then would have laughed at the whole silly
dispute and decided that their friendship was too valuable to just toss
aside. I have no doubt that two such bright women will lose little time
and straighten out this misunderstanding.

I had chocolate pound cake at a friends house the other day...i had
never even thought of the idea and my goodness it was just delicious.

Im going to have to stop buying the "dolce de leche" (sp?) and learn how
to make a chocolate pound cake.

I hope Crash bought you the appropriate silk or linen? pearls? something
for the boudoir?

No Cub, no Rainbow. Got these at WalMart. Cheaper if you buy them in
a mixed four pack than if you buy them separately.

I honest-to-God never thought of wrapping the stir-fry in a tortilla!
DUH! I'm not really sure what seasonings a person would use on a
fajita. I've only had them in restaurants.

I have the replica of the OLD Betty Crocker cookbook, so I probably do
have the recipe. Also have one from Taco-Man that looks awfully good.

Thanks much!

No, I didn't toast the rice first. Never thought of it. But I'll use
this recipe next time I make brown rice. Thanks so much!

I can't explain salsa...it is a mexican sauce...containing jalapeno
peppers. But here is a recipe of a basic salsa. google salsa recipes to
get a better idea

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Alan's Pico De Gallo Salsa

none

2 or 3 serrano or jalapeno chiles,; stems & seeds removed,
1 or 2 bell peppers (red, green, yellow); your choice chopped
1 large red onion, finely chopped
4 medium roma tomatoes, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped; or more
1/4 bunch finely chopped cilantro
1 juice of 1 fresh lime

Finely chop the garlic and cilantro. Chop the other ingredients a lot or
a little. To make a chunky to your choice Salsa. Squeeze the juice of the
lime over the combined ingredients. Be sure hot peppers are seeded and
the white parts has been removed. A little salt doesn't hurt.

Notes...
juicer tomatoes work well too.
If no hot peppers use hot sauce instead and add more coloured bell
peppers.
Be sure to wash hands well after handling hot peppers.
Let the salsa rest in the fridge a couple of hours to over nite to let
the
flavours mix well.
Good with corn chips or on fajitas or tacos...Even ok on pasta.
Lemon juice or vinegar can replace the lime . But fresh lime juice is
the
best.
Coloured bell peppers make it look nicer but green peppers are cheaper
and
work well too.

Hi all,

This is a last ditch effort to get another post through. I think I
may have reached my Google limit, since the last two posts I attempted
didn't make it through.

Thank you to everyone for their wecome backs, their congratulations,
and their best wishes for Crash's health.

For our anniversary, Crash gave me a mirrored tray to put my cologne
on, and he asked me for a couple packs of cigarettes. ROFL!

I regret now not accepting Jill's congratulations graciously and
moving on. She's a troubled person, and I made things worse. I'm
fortunate to have good medical insurance so I can receive and maintain
proper mental health care.

To those who are hoping that we'll patch things up and go on our merry
ways, it's not going to happen. I wrote to her over a year ago and
told her gently that I simply can't have her level of negativity in my
life. It's not healthy for me. At the time, she said she
understood. I've had to take this action with others as well. She
was not singled out.

I feel blessed to have so many of you as people who care about me. At
this point, I'll just watch this thread as it dies out, and will
contribute recipes when they're needed, or when I feel the desire to
share some.

Love and light,
Carol

I'll cut her some more slack, but it's getting harder and harder.

Memory loss is a sign of excessive alcohol use, among other things.

If I send you $200 (or 20 cases of Busch Light) will you STFU and leave?

You haven't gotten to step 1, right?

To me, Jill used to be annoying, now she's just a bore. If I think
about her too long I will just get sad and I don't need Usenet for that,
I have the newspapers.

Ironically, it was a pleasant sentiment that started all the vitriol
here. Apparently "Congratulations!" couldn't be taken at face value,
or at least ignored.

Let me guess. Tonight is the 8th drink night.

You're a sad case.

I just love the way everyone here presumes to know so much about my alcohol
consumption. In fact, you don't know a damn thing about it. And I have to
repeat, why would I have posted anything about Damsel? And, BTW, no one has
bothered to show me this alleged post.

I love shrimp in any way, shape or form!
It'd been a couple of weeks since I'd had any.

I was trying to clamp down on the food budget.

Actually, it occurs more in my household due to excessive stress which
is harder to control.

Only if you are jewish, or simply don't like the combo. :-)

I find shrimp and cheese go well together, but I don't generally do
cheese and fish, only because I don't find it appetizing.

What is a twinkie please?
