I didn't even mind Paris so much but I do not follow the Kardashians and at
and would rather even avoid seeing or reading a thing about them.

Gary, I know what is in the sauce. I would get violently ill. I try to
avoid that. I don't care *who* eats Big Macs or why. But they are not for
me. And they probably shouldn't be for any diabetics with that extra piece
of bun.

Well done troll. I thought the previous post was the looniest figment of

The story is totally believable. I don't recall mt father ever going
anywhere he could not get a beer. He could sniff out a bar in any city,
even when they were closed on Sunday. Cost him his family in the end.

Nope. It was totally about beer. Not long after, a lot of bad stuff
happened to her and it was all drinking related. Not going to get into that
here.

you're forgetting the obvious: that gal just couldn't stand Julie and
used the beer as an excuse to avoid her outside of work

A bride was asking for opinions on her menu.
Heck, in my day, a bride planned a meal and got on with things. Now, they want makeup tryons, dessert tastings.....I wonder how they ever really settle down into humdrum married life, ("Hey, lover - I think it's YOUR turn to take out the trash....")

Now, they want makeup tryons, dessert tastings.....I wonder how they
ever really settle down into humdrum married life, ("Hey, lover - I
think it's YOUR turn to take out the trash....")

Honey, I'll just have to check that with the planner, or was that in
our personal promises statement? I'm not sure this outfit is in our
selected trashcan colours but maybe I could just accessorise with
highlights. I know, I'll call some friends to help me choose my emptying
the trashcan outfit and get dressed. What will we give them to eat and
drink.. Sit down or stand up buffet? Then we'll need favours for my
dressers.How about, we make them a compilation tape of our favourite
songs to carry out trash with...and wrap it in a bit of trash, as the
theme for the night...

Exactly. Actually when I'm invited to an affair where I don't know
the hosting party very well or at all I don't write the check until
after I arrive. If I know the host well enough that I realize there
won't be any liquor I'd very likely excuse myself from the invite,
unless it was a long time close friend or relative that to maintain
the relationship I'd be obligated to endure. I feel if hosts have
dictatorial hosting habits like insisting no booze, vegetarian/vegan
only, a predisposition to serve only lamb, liver, etc. then it's rude
to invite anyone out of their immediate clique of adherents and then
foist their weirdo lifestyle on strangers. When I invite guests I
don't necessarily prepare food to my liking I prepare food, and drink,
to my guest's liking... that's what hospitality dictates. If someone
has political eating habits I find it wiser to not invite them,
vegetarians/vegans are not going to feel comfortable watching everyone
else attacking pork chops anyway even if I prepare a veggie dish...
why cause a clash so no one enjoys. When I attend a celebration I
expect booze or for me it's NOT a celebration... and I don't get
blotto, but I expect I will be able to imbibe at least judiciously.
When I host I always serve alcoholic beverages, those who don't want
to partake can feel free not to... more for us.

>Had to think a sec about the groom serving the pork - ha.

Your favorite part to partake... and yes, there'll be bubbly!

Why in the world would I make something like that up? Her parents didn't
approve of the marriage. Neither did my friends and I but... You can't
really stop someone from getting married. Her parents did come to the
ceremony but would not go to the reception which was in West Seattle at a
hall near his apartment. She had originally asked me to be in the wedding
but for some reason at the last minute they paired back the wedding party to
just her and the best man. Which was fine by me because I didn't really
want to be in it.

Somebody had to give them a ride. They sure couldn't afford a taxi! And in
those days we didn't have seat belt laws and such. We managed to cram quite
a few people into my little Maverick or my friend's Pinto.

Because of who the people were. I'm not going to spell it all out here. I
certainly wouldn't go flying across the country to a wedding of a person
where I only thought that a small gift would be appropriate!

I now rely on The Spice House's Jamaican Jerk Seasoning, because their
mixture tastes better than what I was mixing up myself. It is not
terribly hot, and it does not go heavy on the sweet spices. If you
want it hotter, it's no problem to add some fresh or dried hot peppers
to the marinade.

http://www.thespicehouse.com/spices/...jerk-seasoning

The Spice House, btw, is the original "Penzeys", in that it was
founded by Penzey's parents and is now run by his sisters. Bill, their
son, decided to open a chain of stores using the family name. Since he
was working in huge volumes as a result, he veered from his parents'
tradition of selling only freshly ground and mixed spices and
seasoning by pre-packaging and warehousing his spices and mixes. His
sisters continue their parents' tradition grinding and mixes their
seasonings weekly, and have retained the original business name as well.

As for the marinade, I mix fresh orange and lime juices, a healthy
shot of the jerk seasoning, and a splash of soy.
