All you smart-asses who say you cook because you like to eat, fie on
you. Everyone knows you can eat (even at home) without doing much (or
any) cooking. So fie, I say. Fie!

People who don't give a shit about cooking (if they're not spammers or
trolls) don't spend their recreational time on cooking newsgroups.

How do you define, "keyboard kook?"

--Bryan

Couldn't agree more. I like my food to taste how I envision it, so as long as I have the time, I'd rather make my own food if I can. There are some dishes I can't make, though, so I find a good place that serves that dish and go there whenever I get the craving.

I'm sure you already know and I don't answer rhetoricals, especially
since the term speaks for itself. And learn how to use commas
properly, you write like a typical high school dropout. I'm

I don't know so it's not rhetorical, and the term does not speak for
itself.

I didn't. I tested out at 16, didn't go to school for 10 years, and
ended up graduating Summa *** Laude from St. Louis Community College.
I never completed my Bachelor's at U of MO, St. Louis. I quit college
to start a punk band in 1996. Funny, but you also misused a comma.
After "properly," there should have been a period and new sentence
unless you used a conjunction like "as" after the comma. NGs are
pretty informal, Sheldon. You know that I'm neither stupid, nor
uneducated.

I call that being absorbed in your hobby. I daresay that I give the same
amount of thought (or more) to cooking than you do, and I probably enjoy
cooking even more than you do, but I still don't consider it a passion.

No you don't. You don't "find your own ingredients." You go to a supermarket
and buy them. You don't create -- you NEVER create. You are the least
creative person here, even less so than clueless AOL newbie Sheldon "Pussy"
Katz.

Exactly! I'd hire pedestrian idiots who live in places like Spain and
Thailand to buy their local ingredients (e.g., Galician kale and river eels)
and express-ship them to me, because those ingredients are not available
where I live.

The fact that you failed to comprehend only means that I didn't contribute

One of the early popes (Gregory?) wrote a letter to missionaries
suggesting they adopt Pagan/Heathen practices into Christianity.
Syncretism is adopting ways from other religions.

I think it's great that all these folks are celebrating our heathen
observance with us. Rabbits because they come out in the early spring.
Eggs because they symbolize seeds and fertility. Painted because
handicrafts are good to keep skills up. Sweets because commercial
interests saw an opportunity.

Weren't most pre-Christian cultures of temperate climes so glad to see
Spring come that they had a Goddess to celebrate the coming? Look at the
Graeco-Roman Proserpina or Persephone story.

Not according to the letter from Pope Gregory to the missionaries

Thus getting the arrow of effect and cause facing the wrong direction.

The missionaries co-opted Osatara as a part of their conversion
strategy. The deity and her holiday appeared in one geography not
others. The language there ended up growing to one of the most spoken
in the world - English. There were other spring deity names in other
geographies where the conversion strategy was different.

Rabbits also symbolize fertility because of their notorious

Rabbits are able to self-fertilize as well. When done, all the babies
will be females and identical to the Mother in all characteristics.

Rabbits can also self-terminate a pregnancy if conditions are not
favorable for the birthing, like during drought years. The babies just
reabsorb into the Mothers body.

I'd need a reliable reference to believe that!

Then don't rely on a reference. Look it up and you'll find it true.

This was something I read in a book about raising rabbits. However,
after again trying to find the information, it seems that the book was
full of shit.

I've found no information saying its possible without human
intervention. So much of believing what is printed in books.

I have found that they can terminate their pregnancy and that they can
have a false pregnancy.

Again, after searching for it again, I've found no professional
information saying that rabbits can self-impregnate.

Sorry about the misinformation. I retract it.

Typical, you post pure crap that you can't authenticate.

I admitted that I couldn't find it again.

But since you're being an asshole, **** you.

Let's see, I raised domestic rabbits for about 35 years all told.
Without a male none of the does ever produced young. I call Ross exactly
right and I have never found a cite that says the OP is correct.

Typical, again. Get called out on some posted BS and revert to potty
mouth bluster. Eloquence isn't your long suit is it?

Parthenogenesis occurs only when artificially induced in rabbits. Not
known to occur naturally.
