wtffffffffffffffffff. The whole concept if flawed.

The only way to salvation is through Christ. Well cool except humans
have existed for thousands of years before that. Apart from being short
sighted, its a silly idea because if all humans are sinners, who died
for the ones before Christ. And if they are judged differently, then why
should any other human after Christ be judged on their belief in an
event not clearly documented about a person whose life is a mystery.
Makes no sense.

Fourteen hundred years ago Islam gave women rights; rights that could
not have been imagined by European counterparts. Bold words! Words
that have been spoken repeatedly, especially in the last two or three
decades by Muslim converts, and Islamic writers, academics and educators
across the globe. Women’s rights, responsibilities, and choices have
been the subject of books, articles, essays, and lectures. Sadly
however, convincing the world that Muslim women are not oppressed by
Islam is a message that is just not getting through. Media headlines
scream oppression and the words Muslim, women, and oppression seem to
have become inextricably linked.

No matter what Muslim women do or say to try to convince the world
otherwise, words like hijab, burka, polygamy, and Sharia seem to do
little but convince people that Islam oppresses women. Even educated,
articulate women fulfilling the modest conditions of hijab can do little
to dispel the myths. Women who conduct themselves with decorum and
grace and function effortlessly in the modern world have their
achievements and successes celebrated. However, if a woman wears a
scarf, covers her hair or puts her religion above worldly pursuits she
is immediately labelled oppressed. One wonders if this is the case for
women of other religious persuasions

Huh. My dad was a career Marine and he never once called hamburger in
cream sauce "chipped beef" or "SOS". It was made with dried creamed
chipped beef.

Try again Sheldon. I logged more sea years than you had in service.
You either served only in the well supplied areas, or are glossing it
over now so many decades later.

> It was very rare not to have fresh foods,


No, it happens when outside main supply routes. Try the trek to Darwin
from Sasebo Japan. There's 3 weeks outside supply chain there.

And you didnt make 50 full 2 lb loaves of bread there a day, the crew
size was too small then for that. You maybe made 150 *regular buns*
like I made a bakers dozen (13) a day or so ago and am to make another
for us 3 tomorrow.


Sorry, buyt you waxed a bit too much and calling you on it.

Bryan,the Navy doesnt. They have to handle it onboard and it's the
other branches (USAF predominantly) who do that.

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert

not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather

This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.

In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.

A substitute that I think works for chipped beef is a container of
Hillshire Farms thin sliced roast beef. Their pastrami might be even
closer to authentic, but I haven't tried it. At any rate, make the
white sauce and add the beef crudely chopped. It might not be
authentic, but it's pretty good.

Excellent suggestion, but wouldn't Carl Buddig beef be even closer to
the original?

You as much as anyone should know that the grubbermint pays
exhorbitant prices for everything, always did... but even so:
http://www.amazon.com/Hormel-Dried-S...d+chipped+beef
At Amazon my math says it costs $1.50/oz or $24/lb. I haven't looked
lately at the ordinary grocery store prices but whenever I did I
thought dried chipped beef was ridiculously expensive... I haven't
eaten any since way back then when I could have all I wanted for free,
but wasn't something I liked so I rarely ate any.. I never cared for
anything in bechamel, still don't. My favorite cured breakfast meat
in the navy were their ham steaks (with the little round bone in the
center), don't know what company produced them but I haven't found any
as good since... were great alongside a sq. yd. mound of my home
fries. I've never been a gravy person, I mix all roast drippings into
the outside cat's food... before those cats I'd pour it on the snow,
next morning it was all gone, never known it was there 'cept for the
critter paw prints. It was mostly the southerners who liked creamed
chipped beef, northerners prefered the ground beef in red sauce
(Manwich style). Very few northerners would eat grits, they prefered
oatmeal. Everyone liked my baked beans, were at most every breakfast,
there were some kind of beans at most every meal. Most southerners
wouldn't eat pasta, some would stare at spaghetti and ask what kind of
worms.

Actually it's not ground, it's a good cut of beef that's cured, dried,
and shaved.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

The "Olde English" cheese is certainly nothing special.
I have a crab recipe that calls for it and I always bought the OE
cheese thinking it had some special taste. I never tasted it plain, I
just mixed it in. Last time though I decided to try a spoonful by
itself. I couldn't believe I'd been paying so much for this tiny jar
all the years. It tastes just like 'american cheese product' to me.

Next time I make this recipe I'll just melt some of those slices. Or
maybe buy some real mild cheddar from the deli to melt. All about the
same taste.

Seriously, that's probably just as good as that stupid Olde English
cheese.

I know. That's why I mentioned it. Easier than melting sliced "cheese
product", right? It probably has the same consistency as those little
crocks. I dunno, I never bought them but I've seen them.
