Another good chuckle. Poor Peter. He wants to let people know who he has
put in his kill file, but considering that his name is probably in more
of them than anyone else, not too many people are going to know.

"Dressing" as in Salad dressing is the same thing here too dear, but the
word is used for two different things.

"Dressing" is indeed "Stuffing" but not stuffed into a bird carcass so
the terms are used for the same dish depending on how it's treated.
It's "dressing" if it would be "stuffing" but served separate from the
bird and baked in it's own dish.

We just called it stuffing, even if it never went into a bird.

Technically, if it's off in its very own dish, it is neither dressing
anything, nor stuffing anything.

But the real question is... why are we discussing this in February??

And hence the term "across the pond". <g>

Just consider how people use the word "clip" and "magazine" as the same
thing when they are not...

Dad tends to call them "clips" even tho' its' wrong. To him, a
"magazine" is something that you read.

I've learned better...

Whaaaaa? What is "the right kind of bread", and I thought you lived in
Sacratomato where there is a large Viet population, a number of whom
are running Viet or French bakeries.

Baguettes are fine as far as I can see.

I've had them both ways (french and Viet) and prefer real Viet
bread/rolls. My preference is a hunk of Viet style baguette, but
that's me.

Yes, I got a real sense of community from it.

I was in an open-access computer lab at my university when I got the
news that Susan had died, and burst into tears on the spot. My
now-husband was with me, and took me up to the aviary to see the birds.
I don't think I'll ever forget that day.

Tasers are a dirty word over here at the moment.

It's not pushing back, per se. It's reminding them where their boundaries
are.

They're just like little kids, and young dogs........ you put them on a
blanket and say "Don't move off that" and sooner or later you can see them
slooooooooowly creeping toward the edge to get off it.

Clip is a more 'Mericanized thing........ we've always used magazine/mags.

Although.... I do recall on time out bush a long time ago, we'd had a
contact and were going through the admin phase after clearing the area and
taking cover.

The Plt Sgt is going around calling out to each person "How many mags you
got" meaning, how much ammo do you have left..... so he can get figures
for an ammo resup.

All went well till it got to the shit stirrer of the section.

"Thommo!! How many mags you got?"

"4 Sarge. A Hustler, a Black Label Penthouse, a Playboy, and a Womens
Weekly Cookbook. Which one do you want?" !!

I actually got an SMS the other day from a mate of mine, it goes like
this.......

"I was in an Indian shop the other day going through a magazine. I was
having a great time till the gun jammed." !!!


But on the 'clip' thing, it might be a throwback to the M1 Garand, during
WW2 onwards. Then the ammo *was* in clips, which the guys pushed down into
the magazine area of the Garand.

It was the drama that was so breathtaking. I mean, one minute we're
anxiously awaiting news of her heart transplant and the next thing we
knew, she was gone. IIRC, wasn't she keyboarding on a laptop while
they awaited the surgery?

I live about forty miles north of Sacramento, and all the Vietnamese
bakeries are on the south side of Sacramento. Due to poor highway planning,
there's no "good" way for me to get there; that's why it takes so long. The
"right" kind of bread for banh mi is made with both rice flour and wheat
flour, and is a bit lighter and less crusty than baguettes.

Little bit of cognitive dysfunction exhibited the

1. An ass-kisser does NOT look down his or her nose at other people. He or
she attempts to be ingratiating. That's what *defines* an ass-kisser.

2. If people think they are better than someone else (in particular, better
than YOU, because that's what this is all about), and say as much, doesn't
that mean you have "no problem" with them? I say I am better than you, and I
*mean* that I'm better than you, so you ought to have no problem with me at
all -- or you were simply lying, which of course is the case.

Aha. Based on that description, I used to live close to where you do
now (Hwy 20 through town was one of my boundaries for my childhood
be-back-for-dinner wanderings) and, while I seem to recall that
some Viet stuff and definitely Franco-Viet stuff had made it out to the
northeast burbs where my folks live now, I can see a limit to the
expansion and your part of the world is slow to get stuff. And, yeah,
getting to South Area can be a bear. I haven't tried since my
grandmother moved out of Curtis Park in the early eighties, and
development has been crazy since.

>Due to poor highway planning,

*ahem* I happen to know that the highway planners wanted to put some more
roads in Sacramento County during the seventies, but further development
got shot down. It wasn't as much of an issue before development in the
airport corridor and south area really went nuts.

(Not to mention Roseville and north in Placer. My dad told me that I
should not ever drive Hwy 70 again unless I really had to. He
backtracked all the way to I-5 and the Garden Highway for my
grandmother's funeral to avoid it. Back in the seventies, anything
between the Yuba River bridge and downtown Roseville was pretty much wide
open country.)

Got it.

I'd think a Mexican bolillo or whatever usually gets used for tortas
should be fine as well and I'd be shocked if you couldn't find those up
there. woooeee cultural cross-pollination .

I live in Lincoln, north of Rocklin and Roseville. I moved there in 2000,
and it was mostly wide open country at that time, but it's HUGELY urbanized
since then.

Oh, bolillos are easily available here; in fact, there's a panadería just a
few blocks from my house. Yeah, I could use bolillos for banh mi (or Cuban
sandwiches, for that matter). If I make the sausage again, I'll see if I can
catch the place when it's open.

Yeah. I thought it was Vomitus. <shrug> I rarely know who morphs
into whom, I only notice they aren't the newbies they claim to be.
This ng seems to be mainly populated by morphers and socks anyway (I
certainly don't believe their "I've lurked for years" BS). Real
newbies are as scarce as hens teeth here.

Oh, then you are stuck. Hwy 65 (I misremembered the number) was awesome
when it finally got a freeway end. I remember driving it for the first
time coming back from my grandfather's funeral in 88. But Dad (retired
from Caltrans told me to avoid it whenever possible. Roseville on
I-80 is generally pretty jammed up if I go that far, as well (usually I
exit at Auburn).

Lincoln really was "blink twice" when I was a kid.

Yay for panaderias! I have one near my house as well. Berkeley and North
Oakland are generally not happy hunting grounds for them, but my neighborhood
has a lot of Latino residents (11 am mass at the nearest RC church is en
espanol) and a lot of businesses.

Why not? Don't you ever prepare bread dressing to accompany roast
chicken? I don't do it all the time, but it's pretty easy to throw
together, especially while the bird is roasting ‹ I put it in a dish and
bake it for about the last 20-30 minutes of the roasting time for the
bird.

Thank you. Finally, some respect! I'll nominate your for an award at
the next meeting of The Cabal (TINC).

Nope.

And even when we buy a roast chook from the deli, and they have that god-
awful generic stuffing in it, we rip it out and toss it away. It's not
even good enough to feed to the dogs!!
