Are you just being funny?

How about I post about Keds.

With all the duplicate posts about how to season cast iron, I find r.f.c
kinda/sorta boring. Admit it, it's not just my fault. You wanna blame
someone for the state of r.f.c start with a post like yours?

I post plenty about cooking and you KNOW IT.

So take your drab attitude and go rag on someone else like Tweaker whose
first two posts out of lurk mode were non-food related less-than-creative
insults.

My "homie", Wolfgang Puck, prefers the YK for mashed potatoes.

I've used russett and yukon gold and don't taste much difference.

I use hot half & half, butter and cream cheese and put it all through a
food mill. Does as good a job as a potato ricer but is better for bigger
batches, imho.

Not a cheesehead but good luck to 'em.

I think she and others just notice the sheer number of stupid posts you
write. Stupid, whiny topics...sort of unmanly things at times. It makes
you sound very lonely that you use RFC as your entire social outlet.
Just *my* take on it.

I love rice krispies, but they can't hold a candle to good old
corn flakes, at least for me, especially with bananas. I'll stick
with 1% milk though. Does anyone use rice krispies for cooking,
besides dessert? I never hear of it as a coating for chicken
or meatloaf filler...

Since you haven't figured it out by now, I'm free to post just about
whatever I GD please and you'll just have to suffer through them or
killfile me.

After all these years do you feel you've made any progress? Hint: NOPE.

Oddly enough I just read somewhere how they were used to
make excellent waffles. It might have been that free issue of
Cook's Country.

Yeah, but.... corn flakes don't snap, crackle or pop. Besides,
everybody knows shredded wheat w/bananas is the bomb! &:+

I like the little mini shredded wheats as a snack eaten dry out of hand
but never, ever eat them with milk.
Corn Flakes don't "beckon" me either. There just seems to be something
about Rice Krispies that I like. I don't like 'em when they get soggy,
so have to eat them immediately after pouring the milk too.

Yup, and I find it sad. So many folks here have been kind
and friendly to Andy, and he repays the group by using it as
his personal wailing wall. I wouldn't mind if he's just mark
his off topic stuff as just that; OT. But I guess that's too
much trouble. I prefer to killfile by subject, not by author...

So right-click it away rather than bitching about it already.
That's more helpful than what you posted.

ObTopic: Hail Redskins! A fan since a perfect-spiral 70-yard bomb
from Sonny Jurgensen to Larry Brown. The Redskin Faithfuls never
waiver.

ObFood: Slacker Jacks
Alton Brown, "Good Eats" -- Pop Culture Show

INGREDIENTS:
3 ounces popped popcorn, approximately 3 quarts
1 cup salted peanuts
4 ounces unsalted butter
16 ounces dark brown sugar, approximately 2 cups
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Spray a sheet pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment
paper. Spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray as well and
set aside.

Combine the popcorn and peanuts in a large mixing bowl. Set aside
until ready to use.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the
brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla and stir until combined. Heat
the mixture until it reaches 250 degrees F, approximately 10
minutes.

Pour the syrup over the popcorn and stir to combine. You will need
to work quickly because the syrup hardens rapidly. Spread the
mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and bake in the oven for 1
hour. Cool completely.

Break into pieces and serve immediately or store in an airtight
container for 2 to 3 days.

Not all of us use Outhouse -- the process is somewhat different for

I was only addressing you. I'm fond of most members here and show them a
good deal of respect. You Goomba are just not one of them. You're
insignificant. You don't matter.

Or he'll dig his heels in even deeper. Show me any thread where
he's accepted that hint. Show me a thread for any regular that's
"taken the hint" graciously.

It's taken a few years but I've finally figured out that using
OE's filter and/or simply not responding to certain topics are
more beneficial and coincidentally reduce the noise-to-signal
simultaneously.

You're right Andy. None of us here do. But I don't go out of my way, as
you do, to start stupid topics, jokes or other flotsam and jetsam to the
cooking group. Perhaps if you went out to find some real life friends to
sit around with and kvetch like a bunch of hens you'd sound less like an
old lady here.

I certainly don't need advice from the likes of you!!!

Like I said this is the way it's gonna stay. So be my guest and suffer the
rest of your r.f.c days.

I would, if he'd just mark his subject as OT. Otherwise, I have to
read the start of each of his threads to see if it's off topic. I
could just killfile Andy, but I don't want to do that.

Foo. And I'm not really bitching anyway. Griping, maybe. The
difference is subtle. ;-)

I'm not asking anyone to be gracious. But I do recall a thread about
politics last February in which I had the same discussion with Andy.
He seemed rather irritated with me, but shortly thereafter he began
marking off topic things "OT". I really appreciated it, and was
surprised that he's quit.

Now here's where there is a double standard. You have to read all the penis
enlargement, nike, tiffany, work from home etc., threads but mine are
somehow more bothersome? On any given day on r.f.c there are dozens more
pointless, spam threads than I post in a day that you have to waste more
time on than mine.

Sometimes I'm just responding to a non-food related post and there's Goomba
crying foul. Like I have my own personal censor which I don't appreciate in
the least. I don't do that to others. Why should I stand for that kind of
treatment?

Jani,

Flame ups come and go between members but in Goomba's case, even if I typed
every subject starting with OT: she'd still bitch.

At one time we got along but one day she did an about-face and back-stabbed
me, something I'll never forgive her for. So she's insignificant and if she
doesn't want to killfile me and be miserable about it, I'm OK with that.

Oh put your big girl panties on and deal with it. Do remind me..what was
this "about face" you speak of?
Do you mistakenly think you're so witty or interesting that every
trivial post detailing every unremarkable event which you burp out is
somehow above reproach? You waste a lot of bandwidth feeding your own
need for attention. You dislike anyone pointing this out to you, obviously.
Perhaps I have higher standards or expectations for regulars in RFC who
know the problems we've had in recent years with heavy loss of quality
posters (who state the newer posters are ruining RFC) and the increase
in garbage? Posts that are obvious spam (Tiffany, shoes, etc.) are
actually much easier to ignore because they don't pretend to be anything
but spam. They never post about food or dining. Easy to ignore them.
We "got along" as long as I never came out and told you how annoying
your posts could be. In fact, I recall trying to send you (as a
surprise) a cup from The Masters, and asked you for your snail mail
address to send you "something neat" and you never responded. So perhaps
it is not *I* that was "the bitch" ??

an old girlfriend used to tell the story of a game when george allen
finally yanked the hapless billy kilmer to put in jurgensen at the

blake,

OK, ya BUM!!!

So where were you in 1984 when in Superbowl XVIII my L.A. Raiders stomped
your Pigskins 38-9!

Sadly, our last Superbowl win. "Just win baby" Famous Al (Asshole) Davis'
last words that still ring in my ears.

Andy
Now I hang with the Philly Eagles. NO comments from the Peanut Gallery!

Andy, it's very easy to filter out words like viagra, etc. I don't see
the spam you're talking about most of the time. So yes, yours are more
bothersome. Simply putting OT at the head of your non-food posts would
make my Usenet life, and that of others I'm sure, much easier.

> Sometimes I'm just responding to a non-food related post

That's not the the issue, at least not for me. It's the threads *you*
start.

That's between you and Goomba.

Sure, if they're honey and nut... :-)
