    Traditional Ethnic Recipes

    Yeah, I kind of stand against the tyranny of the measuring utensil. Who the hell are "they" to decide how much a cup is or much a spoonful is?

    RE: Traditional Ethnic Re I'm guessing it's likely the garlic, Peapod. Or maybe the onions. I like those big red onions.

    Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    Hydro finally came and trimmed the tree branches away from the power lines. Now my power won't flicker every time it gets windy and my cable won't slow to dial-up speeds when there's a storm. Hmmm...I should get one of those trucks with the bucket on it. That looks like fun.

    The Idiot Across the Street

    I first met the idiot across the street shortly after his new house was finished. This was a few years ago. I heard my wife talking to somebody on the step, then I realised that my wife was crying so I wandered out to see what was going on. This fat f*ck was threatening to kill our cats. I...
