Actually I think Brianna is closer to the truth than I'd usually admit :)

But hey - having lurked here for a while it seems like the kind of place where a woman is allowed a low cut top & high brow conversation!

Thanks for the welcome!

The sparkles are insidious.
Do you know how much ribbing I get at work when I show up wearing sparkles and all I did was hug the little women (who luvs sparkles) before leaving?

I'm not a downer. I'm just simple. If I see sparkly cleavage, I say, Oooo, look at the sparkles! I don't think "she thinks that's all innocent and stuff, but I know better, she's ... she's..." see? I just don't think that way. Hanging out here builds my cynic muscles and I could use the work, obviously.

They allow you more than one in Canada now? I hadn't heard that. I knew they were up on gay marriage, but I hadn't realized plural marriage had been enacted. Santorum was right, it is a slippery slope.

Christ, don't you people have anything better to do then correct other people's spelling and grammar?

Fine, busted. :biggrin:

Christ didn't do it, wolf did.


(slink back under my rock)

Do you mean:

I'll slink back under my rock.

or

Silent, slink back under my rock.

or

mrnoodle slinks back under my rock.

or what?

--->> :wink: <<--- Just kidding smiley!

it was "slinks back under my rock"

then i noticed the lack of agreement, and took off the 's'. now it doesn't make sense, but at least it's correcter.

Hey if you want to perform the experiment, you could post a picture of yourself in a low cut top and then start a high brow conversation. ;)

I enjoy cooking, which doubtless is one reason I'm a knife salesman, mostly about kitchen knives.

Tonight was bubble-and-squeak, though of the three household members I was the only one eating it.

Pre-cooked cut-up potatoes, smashed into lumps, blanched cabbage, julienned carrots and zucchini, copious black pepper, salt to taste, diced Spam, and chopped-up bacon, fried for its fat, all stirred up well together. Pour off some of the bacon fat in whatever dish you store it in for tomorrow's fried eggs, and shove some of the mixture down into the frying pan until it's a flat cake in the bottom; this can be any thickness up to completely filling the frying pan. Sometimes it actually does both squeak and bubble. It's hearty peasanty food. Cook it on medium or medium-low heat until heated through and the bottom of the 'squeak is crisping, browning and holding together. Loosen it from the bottom of the frying pan with a wide spatula (it's a bit inclined to stick from the mashing down), invert a dinner plate on the pan and turn the whole thing upside down to lay the bubble-and-squeak on the plate. Top with cheese if desired; cheddar is good, as is muenster -- I had both.

Mmmmmm hearty and peasanty is my style for sure!!!! Anything with potatoes & meat - and cabbage is a bonus!!

That bubble & squeak sounds fannnnntastic! (minus the spam..... I can't do spam)

If I might suggest reposting bubble and squeak to one of the recipe threads in food?? That way we can find it again!

What with the gas shortage and all. :fart:

Smartazz.... okay. It's really just The Frugal Gourmet's recipe. Saw it, tried it, liked it, and really, every quantity in there is pretty much "to taste." You could make this stuff in the dark. I'll go find which book it's in...

...first heard of the stuff in The Wind In The Willows -- Mr. Toad gets a plateful from the gaolkeeper's daughter during his prison term.

"...hug the [L]ittle [W]omen..."

Maybe he's a bibliophile. ;)
