    Anybody Like Curry?

    Me and my wife have researched Indian food for a long time and have some pretty good tricks for making it. We don't use curry powder, preferring to mix and grind all the spices when we're going to use them. A mix that goes great with most things includes cumin, coriander, fenugreek, turmeric...

    Crapodile Hunter

    a STUPID 2 minute long thing we came up with today while watching some Steve Irwin clips, the Crapodile Hunter PS I am under NO illusions that it is an awesome piece of cinema but it IS kinda funny- oh and it's chinese pickled radish as the "stand-in"

    Gravies and sauces

    Being vegetarian, I kind of had given up gravy, until we visited Vancouver several years ago and ate at that Naam (SP?) restaurant in Kitsliano- we liked the gravy SO much that we got the ingredients roughly figured out (they sell bottles of it, proportions aren't listed but the ingredients are)...

    Looking for a GWAR picture

    Right, I have googled my butt off and have thus far been unable to find a decent image of a character named Skroda Moon from the band GWAR. I have a miniature of the character that I am supposed to paint for a friend, but all's I can find for reference are really crappy face-shots which do NOT...

    The hurricane may start as a sandstorm.

    If you needed a hocus-pocus explanation, aren't there and, like, cooler things you could attribute this to, like some kind of viking storm god or tiki-type thing?? THAT I could get behind

    Recipe Screw Ups .... and fixes

    if you oversalt soups or stews, you can put a potato in there and leave it for a while while simmering and then fish it out and it'll absorb a lot of salt

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Odd that I find it a tad shocking that misinformation would be retracted- I wonder how many other things that have been used in this discussion are worthy of same- I bet most of the stuff in bold sans-serif could probably use a similar treatment ;)

    Atmosphere quite clean today

    That's totally excellent how it is presented in a slightly disingenuous fashion by coupling the thread title with this particular article, ALL it says is about "pollutants from burning coal" and leaves EVERY other source out of the mix- good enough to work on dummies, but not good enough for the...

    Trying my hand at pickling

    mm sauerkraut, I am totally gonna make some of that this fall once cabbage gets cheap- a French buddy of mine makes boatloads of the stuff with all different spices then tells me every day how awesome it is. The recipe sounds pretty damn easy to boot, submerge it in salty water and strain the...

    Ontario Beer Store "monopoly"

    It has been talked about quite a bit lately and with the takeover of Anheuser-Busch by Inbev it seems all the more relevant The current system of beer distribution seems, to me at least, to run counter to what is supposedly a free-market system. The way it is run, stuff that looks a LOT like...

    that article in the OP is one of the most flagrantly biased and falsely accusatory pieces of crap I've ever read

    Free video editing software??

    I'm looking for something fairly simple that works with raw .AVI files (hopefully) to make a few goofy videos and tho I've seen a lot of freeware I am totally wary of trying something unproven, and the meta-spam from searches makes it tricky to know exactly what's what- any advice from anyone...

    Anyone grow Carnivorous Plants??

    I don't know if anyone on this site would be interested in this, but it's one of my favourite hobbies. I have a pretty decent sized collection of all sorts of stuff from all over the planet- Pitcher Plants from North and South America, Sundews from pretty much every continent, Nepenthes (like a...

    My rock/metal demo

    LINK It's a rough demo, I'm working out the bugs between my analog board and my PC- it's a song about action figures, a complex in-joke but you don't need to be "in" on it to like or hate the song itself.. I know the vocals are a bit hard to make out, but that's what the "rough demo" disclaimer...

    Human Placenta in cosmetics?!?!?

    This might be old news but I only found out conclusively today that human placenta is a kind of common ingredient in many cosmetics.. http://www.fda.gov/fdac/reprints/puffery.html I suppose being vegetarian might make me a bit more squeamish about stuff like this but I stil think it's sort...

    Why does Radio suck Rocks nowadays??

    I read an interesting article here and it got me thinking... I am not talking sattelite radio or XM or whatever (I'm roughly 15 years behind the tech curve on most stuff), just straight-up broadcast radio... I remember in the late 70's and early 80's there were actual different stations all up...
