I've never had a duck egg, wouldn't mind trying one. All this talk

Yep, sounds pretty silly to me. None of the men I've ever met who had a
mustache but no beard were ***. The *** men I've know were all clean
shaven.

I'm pretty sure he didn't. I didn't watch the movies, I read the books.

So we agree... 'zactly my opinion of women who are not well trimmed,
it's also nasty looking. Men with beards do NOT look in any way
masculine, not unless they think an untrimmed woman's crotch looks
masculine. I have always considered and still do that men with beards
are faggots, open or closeted but faggots none the less... they are
attempting to attract other faggots to their face like it were a nasty
untrimmed female crotch. That's why I can't understand mooslims with
beards, they abuse women yet they love men with beards... there can be
no doubt, none whatsoever, that mooslim males with beards are flaming
faggots. Why are images of muhammed forbidden, because he's bearded,
he's a faggot, allah is bearded too:

Duck eggs are richer and thicker than chicken eggs (great for baking).
A slightly different flavour too.

Ha Usually, they are either very easy or very hard to find... maybe
some Asian stores would stock them?

BTW, a goose egg tastes much like a chicken egg.
So does a pigeon egg.

Thanks for the description of the cookbook, Janet. I do believe I may
purchase this book soon (have to check budget come end of month). I'll
look for the purchase details after I watch Cook's Country when it airs
tomorrow afternoon on PBS.

I do enjoy the show and how its talented cast demonstrates how
everything is so seemingly easy to make! Alas, Cook's Country and ATK
do not show the hard work needed afterwards when tools, gadgets,
cookware, dishes and flatware have to be cleaned and put away, which can
be rather time-consuming for a household of one. Oh well Hmmm, I
wonder what the average wages are for their dishwashers and cleaning
crews <----- that's a rhetorical question

Yes, I think you're right about that.

On the egg theme:

For breakfast this morning I put four chicken eggs in a jug with some
finely chopped onion, pepper and salt, then mixed it roughly. In a pan
I added a little vegetable oil and a good amount of butter, and gently
cooked some asparagus spears - removed the spears and lightly cooked
the egg mixture. The asparagus and eggs go so well together, I'll be
doing that a lot more often.

No. My experience of what we called waterhen's eggs was as a boy in
Suffolk, UK.

If you take the time to notice, most men with anything less than a
full beard can't support one.

Heh, no. I'm saying their facial hair is thin to non-existent in
places which dictates the style they settle on.

least

Lately I've been seeing that old TV show, 'Welcome Back Kotter'. I
wondered about Travolta, he did seem to "swish". He's been married
to the same woman since the 90's and has children, not that it proves
anything.

So they won't lose their jobs or promotions or be shunned by society.

Just because *** is "accepted" now doesn't mean much. A *** military
man might be accepted but he/she won't ever be promoted beyond a
certain level. A civilian company man might get bypassed with
promotions and depending on the powers above, could even get fired.

This is the real world and there is still lots of anti-*** sentiment
around. A company can't officially fire you for being *** but if they
want you gone, all it takes is showing up late for work a day or two.
If they want to lose you, it's easy enough and very legal too.

Personally, I don't care if someone is *** or not. Just keep it to
yourself though.
