That's a shame - beadwork and needlework can be a source of solice -
which can't be found here since you troll too much.

I've found it's too much fun to bait the bovine - it's too stupid to
realize and I'm a bit cruel (er, crewel for a needle jab!!!!) and it's
entertaining, to a point.

Post about food, and keep it on topic - otherwise - shaddup - and I'll
also endeavor to do the same, although that's going to be difficult
since it's rather fun to bait the troll!

About food, I'd like to make some salads, soon - chicken salad - whether
on or off bread slices I'll include toasted almond slivers, but only
when served, otherwise, the almonds get rather soggy & limp !!! hehehe

Be descriptive and specific - your posts are always lame and rarely
discuss food - they're usually more about "family" (cough cough) issues.

Bovine has complained many times over the years about its offspring's
behavior - no denying that, even though it does about the 'many' times.
Its unnatural compulsion to rationalize its behavior is very amusing
and a source of entertainment.

To disagree with someone or to question what they say is all fine but
to call them demeaning names and refer to them as an "it" rather than
a person only makes you sound like a fool. At least she sounds like a

Oh - I'm still very nice and always quite polite - I just recognize when

take that as a compliment - if it must. The fact that it 'plonked' me

I can buy pears one at a time too. Just not at Costco. Anything that you
can buy one of there is bound to be huge! Someone in this house is ripping

Most of the stores here sell bulk carrots but... We eat tons of raw carrots
in this house. Things like carrots, celery, peppers and onions are things
that we always use a lot of.

I've sauteed chopped up pears in a little butter and brown sugar. Then
spoon it over vanilla ice cream while still warm. That's a pretty good
treat.

Yes I don't care who it is about but the nasty and belittling comments are
disgusting.

My favorite way to use them is with grilled endive and gorgonzola (or
blue cheese) as a warm salad. I've never grilled romaine - but that's
another thing I see grilled from time to time in food magazines.

Try grilling peaches too. Sublime! I don't do anything with them,
just put them on the plate next to pork chops and I feel like I'm
having a restaurant meal. It's pretty AND delicious.

Oh, be sure to grill corn, I'm pretty sure you've done that. I like
to cut it off the cob and freeze it - so then I have grilled corn on
hand whenever the mood to make a corn salad or chowder hits.

Do it and you'll thank yourself later! Think of the herbs you can dry
before winter and all that "pesto". Just combine the raw basil with
olive oil and freeze it. Then you can either use it as is or add nuts
& cheese later.

My last grilling included romaine. Made a vinaigrette and drizzled it over
them and then grilled them. The only real mistake that I made was cutting
off the bottom of the heart first, I lost a few leaves so I won't do that
next time. Turned out great and everybody really enjoyed them.

I'd settle for a bagel with whipped cream cheese and (my homemade)
jam, but happily - I have a ham and green onion twist (it's a type of
roll from the Chinese bakery) for breakfast this morning.

Maybe it's a San Francisco thing because I found only one not very
descriptive picture in Google images. The other twists from Chinese
bakeries (in google images) had raisins in them, but I don't see that
type here. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/45/165...284e698582.jpg

One of my favorite restaurants serves a grilled romaine caesar
salad. I just love the romaine that way.

Believe me, it wasn't on my radar, either. I don't think I
even ordered it the first time, just had a bite of Ron's.
They do it nice there, with the large shavings of parm.
Looks as good as it tastes.

Rolling my eyes.

Julie, the statement meant that you should be a parent to your child not
your child's friend. Can you comprehend that?

I was trying to help you. BTW, that's the first time in my entire life
that I've been accused of being a bully. Had the comment been made by
anyone who counts, I would have taken offense, but coming from you, it
means nothing.

I grew up in a house where my parents nurtured and cared for me even
after I married. They continued to nurture me and love me until the day
they died. Never once did they disparage my choices, even when I became
engaged to and married "S--t Head" my first husband. Perhaps those
disparaging parents are what is causing you to seek verification here on
Usenet. Think about it.

I don't suppose you'd would want to hear anything negative about your
behavior. BTW, coleslaw is usually a cold salad.

I had three children and three step-children. I buried my youngest when
she was 21 years old. She was killed in a car accident. My other
children are doing very, very well. All of them seemed capable of making
good choices for their lives.

Yet you rant on and on about how no one can influence your life choices.

Calling me a bully is certainly passing judgement. This huge rant on

You just gave all of us a picture window into your marriage. Don't you
think this is a bit extreme? Shouldn't this have been better discussed
with a therapist?
