    For eating plain, we cut ours as thin as our deli slicer can get... thin enough to see through. But for cooking we cut thicker. Then we wrap chicken breasts, prawns, and trout before grilling. But "never against the grain"? Why not? We always cut against the grain. We buy our legs with the bone removed then pressed so we can get a nice long cross section with a fatty edge. How else can you cut it? First Class Citizen Twice Over

    You thought pork grew on trees before? First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Prosciutto rocks! We always keep a whole ham in the wine cellar. We used to have a spanish Jamon Serrano. The current one is more of an italian style but it's cured here in Vancouver. Don't they take a long time? I gather after a few weeks of salting they need to cure for a year or more. That's quite a time investment. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  6. Well, I got a hold of the owner of the property and he's already evicted them. She's not only loud but she's lousy with his rent. Woo hoo! He also apologized for his judgement in letting her move in. Now it's just a matter of waiting... she should be out by the end of the month. Unfortunately there's always the chance that she'll dig her heels in. But I might help things along by making life miserable for her. If she hates living here she's less likely to try to fight the eviction. Woo hoo! First Class Citizen Twice Over
  7. That's sort of the definition of "succeeded". First Class Citizen Twice Over
  8. Classic problem: New neighbor moves in. She works a strange shift at a casino into the middle of the night. She meets lots of casino worker types and brings them all home for a party after work once a week. 3am: BOOM BOOM puh-puh-puh BOOM BOOM puh-puh-puh BOOM BOOM... 3:15: I pound on their door. Shirtless dude or rental chick comes to the door. Lots of people dancing in the background. Dude: "Yeah?" Me in bathrobe: "It's 3 in the morning." Dude: "Huh?" Me in rage: "Turn the fucking music off!" Dude: "I don't live here." Me in fury: "I don't give a shit. Turn the music off!" Dude: "Uh. Whatever." *slam* 3:30: BOOM BOOM puh-puh-puh BOOM BOOM puh-puh-puh BOOM BOOM... 4am: BOOM BOOM puh-puh-puh BOOM BOOM puh-puh-puh BOOM BOOM... 4:30: BOOM BOOM puh-puh-puh BOOM BOOM puh-puh-puh BOOM BOOM... I've told their landlord. Things got better for two weeks. I've called the police. Police don't show up. Any further ideas? First Class Citizen Twice Over
  9. You might get your point across better if you wrote more clearly and less stridently. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  10. Sometimes typos are more true than they were meant to be. That's not a typo, it's just olde English. Haven't read much Chaucer, have you? Like a bolt of light from the sky, a leap of logic we can all gape at. *gape* First Class Citizen Twice Over
  11. What a weak defense! First Class Citizen Twice Over

  15. All of these women look like they're molded from plastic. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  16. Oh! Well in that case their political interpretations MUST be thoughtful and wise. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  17. I suggest you show this thread to your professor and ask them to tell you what you did wrong. There are so many factors here that I'm not going to volunteer to educate you. That's what your professor is paid to do. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  18. Well, hell! There's a black market in cupcakes. Do you think the Rotary Club Ladies' Auxiliary bake sales get proper health licenses and report their income? I don't see the old ladies machine gunning their rivals though. Sheesh! Some people really can't think past their propaganda training, can they? First Class Citizen Twice Over
  19. What a repulsive name! Who remembers that "blackwater" is the final, inevitably fatal stage of malaria when the urine comes out black? Was that intentional? Yuck. First Class Citizen Twice Over

  21. Don't forget to add: Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include prohibiting private activities in the home in the name of interstate commerce. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  22. Bans are very cute and silly. Like most security online it's only as good as the cooperation of the banned. Personally I don't think it's sporting to sidestep bans but it's certainly easy. Trivial. Anyone with a nickle's worth of internet experience and the motivation can figure out 6 ways in 6 minutes. But it's like cheating at solitaire. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  23. Yes, please do. The rules of dropzone.com clearly state "Any thread which Hawkins121 doesn't like shall be deleted." Can't we just have an automated filter that rejects all posts which are disloyal to George Bush? First Class Citizen Twice Over
  24. Because "conspiracy" means two people planning to commit a crime. Every sane person knows that never happens. First Class Citizen Twice Over
