It's a variety of powder, which mixed with water and simmered. makes
nice quick stock. If I am across the Pond, I always bring a supply
back, there is no equivalent here.

I usually have a pot on the stove. Not vegetable granted, just chicken, but
it suffices for what I need.

I freeze what I have when I start a new pot. I am rarely without.

Quite right. I'm no longer surprised at how some people consider themselves experts on a countries cuisine after just a few short visits. However, to be fair, this responder did coin the question "It is?"

At first I thought the author didn't seem to know what an "alligator

is common today? And liverwurst... I wish I had some right now to put
on some toast for breakfast. Those menus sound okay to me, in fact,
very nice indeed (for the most part).

Not when you have a good one! I never tired of eating any GOOD pussy I've ever been allowed to! :-)

We had that too. Usually for lunch. Pickles too. We didn't have olives
all the time. They were mainly for holidays or company but once in a while
for regular meals. I wonder why? When we did have them, they were
rationed. We were each allowed 5 black and 5 green. No more. Were olives
insanely expensive in those days are something? Those particular types
aren't now although there are some expensive olives.

Years ago I did too but when you become one, cooking changes. I still
tend to cook large for things like stew, because small doesn't taste
as good, and the freezer is my friend for that, but otherwise - I cook
to eat rather than necessarily for the best cooking

Druggie speak.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sly_Stone

After moving to the Los Angeles area in fall 1969, Stone and his
bandmates became heavy users of illegal drugs, primarily cocaine and
PCP.[10] As the members became increasingly focused on drug use and
partying (Stone carried a violin case filled with illegal drugs wherever
he went),[11] recording slowed significantly. Between summer 1969 and
fall 1971, the band released only one single, "Thank You (Falettinme Be
Mice Elf Agin)" / "Everybody Is a Star", released in December 1969. The
former song was one of the first recordings to employ the heavy, funky
beats that would be featured in the funk music of the following decade.
On August 15, 2005, Stone drove his younger sister Vet Stone on his
motorcycle to Los Angeles' Knitting Factory, where Vet was performing
with her Sly & the Family Stone tribute band, the Phunk Phamily Affair.
Stone kept his helmet on during the entire performance, and was
described by one concertgoer as looking a little like Bootsy Collins. A
film crew doing a documentary on Sly & the Family Stone was at the show
and apparently captured this rare sighting on film. Stone, according to
his web site, is producing and writing material for the group's new
album. In addition, Stone renamed the group "Family Stone."

In 2009, the documentary film Coming Back for More detailed his dire
financial situation.[19]

We ate at a restaurant in Wisconsin and I saw some metal things on many of
the tables. They had a handle at the top and a lot of little bowls in them
of various things. I can't remember now what all was in there but there
were pickles, olives, raw veggies and maybe a coleslaw or pea salad or
something like that. I hadn't even looked at the menu yet but I told the
waitress that my daughter and I wanted to share one of those for sure. What
I didn't realize was that every table got one for no charge. She just kind
of looked at me weirdly, brought the two of us one and another one for my
husband. We then made the mistake of ordering meals. I think I just
ordered one thing for Angela and I to share but the portions were huge! We
got a basket of assorted breads for free too. And a free dessert was
included which we declined. Seriously, with all of that food we didn't even
*need* a meal. I think my husband made the mistake of ordering some sort of
appetizer as well. We just kind of sat there going... OMG! We couldn't
really take the leftovers with us either because we were in a motel with no
fridge. That was one of the better meals we ever ate though.

I was not the one who made a claim to being an expert on French dishes.
I was questioning the comment that raw vegetables are a popular
appetizer in France because I figured that if it was very it would have
been offered, either in private homes or in restaurants. If it was
popular I would have expected to see it at least once.

I thought he would be more interesting in Marilyn Manson.

You could be right Dave.

We have a chain here called Bob's Burger and Brew. One of their appetizers
is a Snack Veggy Trio. Three kinds of raw veggies with dressing of your
choice for dipping. That, for me, is the appeal of the place. Yeah, I know
I can eat those things at home. But if I have to go out... Works for me.

You criminally STALK and ABUSE women, you sick little dwarfy man!

Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the
well-liked regular named "sf" and posting all her personal data on the
net against her will, including her:

* home address
* age
* cell phone number
* husband's name

etc.

YOU did that, you evil *******!

And then you had the hubris to actually GLOAT about in public saying:

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just
loves the attention and drama and screw the rest of the group.

And before that you literally stalked poor Omelet, a local Auustin
favorite, right off the Usenet!

In your worst moment ever you actually begged her to KILL you:

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.

Then after having your nose rubbed in your filthy criminal stalking you
came back with, not an apology, nor the slightest remorse, just this:


"The facebook group is much more pleasant."


But we all know that's only because you cower over there in mortal fear
of being booted by the FB admins.

You're _so done_ here virus, I mean really ****ing done.

I'm making you a project like no other, expect a lot more of your evil
abuse and hatred to be aired for all to see here.

And we both know there's a google archive full of your hatred of women
just waiting to be hung out on the virtual clothesline to dry.

Enjoy then, you rotten, worthless misogynistic *******!
