Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Brent on Feb 06 06 12:05
Thanks and I have some pics in mind. How'd you do yours? My email is a newer one but just have to redo later I guess, no biggy.Tenkani, I got so sick the last time I drank you wouldn't believe me...lol!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Absolutely. Apart from the anonymity thing, if you make an enemy here, the worst they can do is spam your disposable account. Big deal.

So...what's your favorite appetizer?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Feb 06 06 12:10
As far as avatars go, here is the key...

Your avatar will be SQUARE, so if you try to link to a rectangular image (most images are rectangular, not square) it will be stretched to fit the new dimensions! In other words, the height/width ratio will be changed and your pic will look whacked out.

Your avatar will end up displaying as 65 pixels wide and high.

The absolute best way to handle it is to:

1. Open an image in Photoshop.2. Crop it so that it's square.3. re-size the image to 65 x 65 pixels. If you don't re-size in an image editing application, the message base software will do it for you, and the results can be...unpredictable.

I have actually given my notice because I have a new one lined up.  Good at my job?  I dunno about that.  Counter-offers are a normal thing to do.  it costs a lot of money to find and replace an employee (at any level)  Counter offers are usually given to keep an employee in their position, only until it is convienient for the employer to let them go.  The counter-offered empoyee has a shelf life with that company for no more than 3 months.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 08 06 09:52
In a former life. I know if I tried out for a team I'd make it. I've done some pretty sick shit with my car I drive a focus hatch. (Worst mistake of my life was not getting the SVT.)  Love GT. I to loved auto racing first it was Nascar with Dale Earnhardt but now that he's gone and Nascar has become political and boring (I hate cookie cutter tracks.)  Favourite cart racer was emerson fittipaldi. Loved that guy. Now I only watch the touring series', le mans, f1, and endurance racing.  But yeah I'm a fan. Love the European tracks. Only problem with F1 is that it is becoming political too and moving away from its roots CHINA!.  I will watch the open wheel series in america. IRL is on a danica over kill. I stay away from them. Mostly watch the other one whatever they are calling these days. I liked it when nascar went to mexico. Didn't like the commentary by some pit crew redneck scared for his life cause he didn't want to be around mexicans. Can't stand racism. Then again I will turn nascar on next year only to see the rednecks reactions to TOYOTA winning. Things like "Remember they bombed Pearl Harbour" disturb me.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Future Canadian on Feb 08 06 10:06
The 'necks should be very afraid of  companies like Toyota or Honda coming in because they will clean up after learning the ropes. Yes, that racism will be sickening.[/DIV]I've always loathed the IRL but I am definitely excited about Danica. Auto racing is the only sport where men and women compete on an equal footing and I think that's rad. I agree the hype is too much though. The expectations are way too high. For any racer to reach the level of the IRL and lead convincingly at the Indy 500, and run solidly in the top ten all year is a great acheivement. But the hype machine is wondering why she hasn't won yet. They don't understand that it just isn't that easy.I also love Emmo. I'll never forget the year he won the Indy 500 and drank orange juice instead of the traditional milk. Drivers are such corporate figures these days that everyone is afraid to color outside the lines and have some personality. Gone are the days of Jim Clark driving a rental car into a swimming pool.

It does feel 'safer' in here, doesn't it.  I like that I don't have to worry about a dozen people taking pot shots at a comment for no particular reason.   (I must remember to log out though.  Now that someones keeping track, it means I'll have to see in black and white how much time I spend on the computer) [img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://ghettobaby.net/Emoticons/EmoteBoard5/newspaper.gif"]

Hi there!

Nope, I didn't see it! Hay, can you please explain to me what happened? Someone did a properties on a toesuck pic, traced it back to the origin and found...what? I'm pretty careful about not storing important pics where they shouldn't belong, but if I missed some pls let me know!

I don't think it is really a big deal, it was just really strange.  This Acadame girl was for whatever reason certain that you and I were the same person, and that I (you) had given her a pic saying that it was you (us) hahaha.  She didn't really want to post the pick for me to verify, but did anyway, and it was Lady Jing, and some dorky looking guy....[/DIV]It was just really strange how this girl had done some sort of 'sleuthing' (so she though) and uncovered the fact that 'kits' and 'tenkani' were the same poster, and that we are an asian girl.

When my freezer starts to look a little empty I make about 7-8 liters of soup.  That way I have an instant meal when I don't want to fix anything special.  Those spring rolls sound great.  I haven't tried to make them in quite a while.  Do they freeze well?  I wouldn't want to make them just for one meal.  It wouldn't be worth the energy.

Ah....thanks.    Well I suppose Vancouver is pretty expensive, but there are so many areas outside of 'city limits' that are more affordable and just as beautiful.  I was born and raised in Van, but move to Vancouver Island several years ago.  One can still buy ocean front acreage for the same price as a downtown condo in Vancouver over here.  Much slower paced and laid back.  I wept for 6 months when I first moved here.....now there's not enough money on the planet that would make me move back.

Wow! We had thought a lot about Vancouver Isle but figured that it would be too secluded. There are a lot of great land and house bargains in BC outside the Van area. That was the intitial attraction for us. But we discovered that we really are city folk at heart and like being around big city stuff. But we're still kind of culturally schizophrenic, we can't decide whether we want to get away from it all or in the middle of it all

That's funny FC.   I like to think of Vancouver Island as 'Being away from it all WHILE you're in the middle of it'.  What I mean is, to borrow Kittens phrase....we live in 'splendid isolation'.....beautiful forested property, and less than 10 minutes to a small town ....20 minutes from a bigger town....30 minutes to a city, and an hour and a half to the mainland.  It may not suit everybody, but I've surely found my home.

[/a]Man, that brings back some memories. I used to go to Victoria frequently in the 80's and 90's to do some work at a few places. Know where the Forestry Research Center is on Burnside?

That's it! Way cool. I couldn't spot the guy I used to work with in their group picture, but I'd bet he's still there. I used to buy a few bottles of duty-free whiskey for him and he'd reimburse me. It was about 1/2 the cost of what he would have had to pay if he'd bought it locally.

He used to research (among other things) starfish bone, for use as a replacement in humans. It's very porus and our bone cells just grow right through it forming a long-term bone joint that practically disappears with time.

He was also researching the spread of DDT. Turns out that shit percolates its way into almost everything- plants, trees, animals, humans, everything. And it takes forever to degrade and become harmless. DDTalso  fluoresces brightly in a scanning electron microscope in 'electroluminescence' mode, making it easy to spot.

Ahh, the useless knowledge I've collected...

So how 'bout them canadian girls hockey team? eh?[/DIV]Do you think they ran up the score or not? I personally don't think so.  I've been in football games where my team was up by 70 points and we were putting in jv players and they were screwing up and guess what? Somebody got hurt.  I have also been in a game where my team has lost by 70 points. That was my other high school team. They didn't give a shit. Thought it was funny that we were getting are ass whipped.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kits on Feb 13 06 09:06
I think that they ran up the score, but they were right to do so!.

"Regardless of the score, this is the Olympics," Davidson said after Sunday's win. "These girls have worked hard to be here and we would take things away from our team, our opponents and everybody involved if we didn't compete as hard as we could, and if we didn't do everything we could to put us where we want to be." [/DIV]                                                                                                          Also, if it comes to a tie, the home ice advantage is decided on goals scored.  Would hate to be in that tie situation and have to look back at the amount of goals scored, and the reason we lost home ice is because we let up to save someone else's feelings....
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Yeah and just to prove the olympics is differnt point of view Sweden you could say just ran up the score on italy.  Although the US media is jumping on the Canadian team is un-sportsmanlike.  Grannato and Clement are just grilling the girls.  I wish Canadians could realise how much the US media hates Canada in general. Although this year the US Media is at an alltime high in biased coverage.  Good thing they are falling flat on their faces because the U.S. is stinking it up this year.  Just watch the Curling event between US and Norway and Norway made the US squad look like they didn't belong there.

Hmmmm....what browser are you using? Are you using anything like Norton, ZoneAlarm, or another internet firewall? I can't think of any other likely thing that would account for it except something like that, something local to your PC.

You should be able to fine-tune Norton so that it still protects against viruses but leaves pop-ups (or whatever) alone.

What security software do you run, admin?

I use [a href="http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1"]AVG anti-virus[/a] (free),  [a href="http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp"]ZoneAlarm[/a] (also the free version) and I have a cheapo hardware firewall/router box that ran me about $49 or so a couple of years ago. The firewall box is probably what's kept 99% of the shit out there at bay. If I go to the "Check My Security" sites (like [a href="https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2"]Shields Up[/a]), most of them report that they can't even tell there's a PC on my end.

ZoneAlarm is run just so I can see if somethingis trying to get out, and its amazing how much stuff wants to 'phone home' these days.

I bet it'll run a whole lot faster with Norton turned off (or not installed) than it will with it on.

Every PC I've ever put Norton went into slow-motion like an attorney waiting to see who'll pick up the check. It loads a ton of system hooks, DLLs, and extra stuff that just loads the system down.

So, I did ask hubby about the Norton, and he says I'm not been totally ummmm......accurate, when I say this thing responds like lightning.....that I've slowly become accustomed to the 'slow down'. He says it was 'the path of least restistance' at the time, and has just 'gone with it', but agrees with your take on Norton an will explore other options. He said the latest update, which included Norton ghost, was like adding a lead weight to a sinking swimmer.

I do not think I would want my TV or puter taken away, they are all hooked up into one big unit. I would miss my videos games alot as well. I do not watch alot of  TV but i love the documentrys and discovery channel.

Anyone else make grilled cheese in the microwave.  Butter two toasts.  Leaving butter on outside put some cheese in middle and on a plate . Microwave just till cheese melts and it's a good copy of frying .  Not healthy but good for an occasional quick meal.(maybe everyone does it?)

You make a good point PC. I think the house pet would definately be a reflection of time spent with it. If you are busy a lot or can't spend good time with it, it will be affected. Much to my chagrin our dog seems a bit "needy" probably because we don't spend enough time with it (or at least didn't) but that could be also because she was from a pet store and nobody wanted her so she was a huge puppy crammed into one of those boxes (we just couldn't not take her after seeing her predicament).

Our neighbour (whom we love dearly) were the proud (yet misguided) owners of a Great Pyrenees (Kuvasz).....what a nasty piece of flesh this dog was.  We were all terrified of this freaking dog, but nobody wanted to offend our friend.  They didn't have the time (or take the time) to train this massive beast.  She (the dog) has since gone to terrorist puupy heaven, but now our friend is talking about BREEDING AND RAISING these dogs.  

I have nothing against the breed, but people have some warped ideas about being a pet owner.

For real PC. You can't just feed 'em and walk away. We see a lot of what I call "dirt circle dogs", dogs that are tied to a tree and just left there and wear out a dirt (more like mud) circle. Hate those people.

Oh I seen worse. On the way down to the farm in so. il. We go past this hick trailer park town of about 5 people (they live in burned out mobile homes) anyway there is always this horse tied up to a tree. Talk about Redneck. [/DIV]And I went to this party in the hills and a bunch of people got extremely drunk and they started to ride around in machinery. Well the father ran over a dog and didn't even care he said the dog deserved it.

We had this grand old cat....Leonard, who was the most comical clown of an animal that one could ever hope to encounter.  I think he WAS what he WAS because of the atmosphere and environment that he 'grew up' in.  Surrounded by kids and a ton of their friends (who are less than gentle sometimes)  a steady flow of OUR friends with kids, etc.  I keep thinking that I can duplicate that 'personality' in a new pet.....but I don't think it's really  possible.

THAT'S the dog sportsdude,  nasty piece of work that dog was.  I know THEY were nervous of how this dog would react at any given time.  WITH THEIR FRIENDS no less.  I love them dearly (my friends) , but this is irresponsible pet ownership, in my opinion.

PC 2 tops in a row? You truly are the Princess of DS. Have some karma.[/DIV]And you are right. I keep wishing I could have cats with certain personalities. The best cat we ever had, Lugnut, was from the pound. I don't know where she was raised but this cat was perfect. Never scratched the kids, put up with the dog just enough, and she could always sense when the right time for a lap sit was. I miss that cat *sniff*. Stupid having to live on a busy street.

Whoa. I know of the types of which you speak. Like they think that the dog doesn't like being told what to do. But I think it's just the opposite, dogs want to please us! They want to show off and have you be proud of them. (and give out treats). I wish I had some advice for you. People get really touchy about their pets in those situations.

Thanks, tenkani... although I must say, you and me... snuggling in our own private blanket will make me more than happy. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/21.gif)  * teehee *

Is anyone else reluctant to remain logged in, with it reduced on your task bar all day, waiting for you to check in and out, like we used to with DV ?  With DS tallying up our minutes (days), I find myself closing out after one or two posts now until someone catches up with me.[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a100.gif" border=0]

I thought that when you switched to another link it stopped showing your name as being logged on.  If I'm shown to be on DS when I'm actually checking the weather, that's rather strange.  But I really don't get upset about it.  I know what I'm doing, and I don't really care if people think I spend every minute staring at the screen waiting for someone to post.  That would be their problem, not mine.  And I really don't feel like logging in every time I want to read or post something.

Yup, FC.  I design them, print them, embellish them,  'assemble' them.  I've done jobs for couples from here to Ontario.  (which may not sound terribly impressive, but)  I don't actively seek out the work, but get jobs through 'word of mouth'.  It's one of my favourite things to do.

Yipes! I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope they can be recovered. I'm in a somewhat similar bind in that I need to find in and amongst all my mountains of crap four slides of my art school thesis (from 1992!). I know they are in there somewhere - at least I've seen them at one time. I actually never technically graduated because of missing this one final step (life got in the way, long story).

We just had friends over for dinner this eve.....the 'boys' watched some car racing (??)  that they taped earlier today, and us gals uploaded her 'new' camera FULL of photos.  Anyway, I digress.  

This couple is so 'up on things' not stuck in some bygone decade, and YET, they do not have a computer, (never have).  I'm not passing judgement on this of course, but my point is....they just got a digital camera for Christmas, and still take their card to 'SuperStore' or wherever to have their photos printed. So she mentioned she was anxious to see some of the photos on her camera (including photos of their wedding in Mexico in January)  

I took her camera, and pulled up all the pics, zoomed in a few, printed off several......and this couple that has dug their heals in about computers........SAW THE LIGHT. They were like a couple of kids, and will probably have a computer by tomorrow noon.  My long drawn out explanation is ....it was awesome watching someone so oblivious to the wonders of the computer, be utterly amazed. Wheww...that was some kind  of rant.  I'm just so tickled.

OMG! You've just described us about six or eight months ago! LOL! We were a bit resistant to getting a computer partly because we were worried about it being a bad influence on the kids, and partly because we knew ourselves. That if we got a computer with the internet that we would spend way too much time on it (ended up being kinda true).[/DIV]Then we get a digital camera, and were doing that same thing: going over to freinds' houses, printing places, etc. But now I am so glad that we gave in because this thing is so cool! There is so much you can do and learn and so on. Now I just have to control myself with spending too much time online...Speaking of which I'm being reminded that I should get off the computer and come to bed and read an actual book that is printed on this ancient technology and doesn't contains any links or graphics.

The appeal of DV is its complete lack of order and civility.

Ugh...ate too much.

Burrito + salad + soda = TF much food and now I'm sleepy/nauseous... Anyway, my office-mate can now work in peace knowing that I won't be chewing on her anytime soon. Well, not in a bad way...

Yup, I decided to take part in the committee.  I enjoy organizing and being a part of the company.  It's a great way to get your name out there because otherwise I am just a number out of 300 employees here.... :P

I was hoping to take part in our rowing but I can't because of my hectic work schedule.   I know that I wouldn've enjoyed that.  :(

Hi sportsdude...I don't think it's carpal tunnel.  I broke my elbow when I was a kid....a really weird break that actually made it into the medical books.  Broke it at the joint, and about an inch and a half above the joint.  That inch and a half piece of bone ended up resting side by side of the bone it broke off of. (if that makes sense)  Anyway....doctors said then I may have trouble 'later on'.  

I'm thinking it's a pinched nerve.  (I'm dreadful for self diagnosing).  I guess we'll see tomorrow.

Hi everyone !!

tenkani,[/DIV]Wheat would be brutal to give up.  I made a recipe book and a bunch of 'mixes' for a shower gift for a friend whose fiance was allergic to wheat.  Man that was tough.  I found shortbread recipes and muffins recipes etc.  It's out there, but ingredients are a little less 'common'.

kitten[/DIV]I'm a dark chocolate fan too.  Just out of curiosity, IF you drink wine, would your preference be red ?[/DIV](just exploring a theory I have)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Feb 23 06 07:11
  As a matter of fact, red wine is my preference.  I like the fact that red is supposed to be healthier, which is a good excuse to drink a bit now and then.  It doesn't qualify as alcohol if it's good for you.  *snicker*

I just wish I could find more Pierre Trudeau avatars and that the avatars were a lot bigger that would be cool too. Bigger the Avatar the better in my opinion and being able to have more pictures on your profile page would be cool too.

I'm not a big fan of heights.

I had to be blindfolded in order take the elevator up to the top of Harbour Centre.

When I use to have flying dreams, I was more like the Greatest American hero than Superman.

The only time I had an out of body experience, I couldn't make it past the ceiling.

Speaking about maple syrup, my friend from the UK wanted me to send some syrup to her.  So, one 'xmas, I called up a maple farm out in TO and had them ship her a fresh bottle of syrup.  She loved it!  I'm drooling over syrup....mmmmm..... :P

Wraps. Too healthy for me. I'm thinking something more greasy. Heh. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/2.gif)

I bought bottles upon bottles of maple syrup when I went back to Australia for a visit. Nothing like a bottle to make the folks back home happee. Check out the ones at Costco, good value for your money.

Oh CK, I forgot.... you're the OTHER good part that's come out of Canada.

That was my job description in a nutshell when I worked for Boeing. I had what was referred to as a "4-40 job", the kind where you worked "4 hours out of every 40". Thank god my group had nothing to do with the actual building of airplanes or they'd be falliing out of the sky like snowflakes in a blizzard.

I was a contractor and they were paying some serious coin for my time. The ol' "Lazy B" was berry berry good to me! Then 9-11 happened and we were all gone in less than 30 days.

I like to support the local economy too. That's why in the [a href="http://www.discoverseattle.net/locator/"]Emergency Coffee Finder[/a] here we only list indies, no Starbucks or Tullys allowed.

Good morning, P.C.  It is somewhat windy, I think.  We have wind about 35kpm, gusting to 44kpm, but I checked the island and it's a lot worse there.  You've got gusts around 65kpm, and I'd be worried about the trees, too, if they were close to the house.  Many years ago a tree fell on the house I was renting.  I had just left the bedroom, and the tree crashed right through the bedroom window and across the bed.  Terrifying, indeed!

 I'll ask the Tree Nymphs to keep an eye out for you and protect you.

True!  I reflected while I packed my belongings and got the heck out of there!  I found a place with no trees and settled in happily.  Where I live now has a big tree outside across from the patio.  But at least the bedroom is out of the line of fire.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif)

A strategicly placed fallen tree, would certainly speed up the stalling we're doing right now on putting up a new roof.  It's LOOOOONG overdue.  Our roof is massive, and the pitch is frightening.  I went up there several years back to clean the chimney......NEVER AGAIN.

I have no idea what Saskatchewan is like, but it was sure windy here this morn. I had to get out of the house....it was a little scary.  Our weather here on the Island is more often in tune with Seattles than Vancouvers.

Its an old american joke.  Except I replaced Kansas with Saskatchewan. Kansas is precieved as super windy, no trees, and super flat* etc.

  *- Actually its not flat because the further you go west it seems flat but you're moving up in altitude. So Kansas is really a giant wheel chair ramp.

Lol, sportsdude.  We couldn't be more opposite from Saskatchewan (or maybe Kansas  lol).  More trees, mountains lakes and valleys than you could imagine.

CK, we're on the south side, but not on the south of the Island (if that makes any sense).

Right now, it couldn't be more calm.  Not a rustle......what a contrast from this morn.

Yeah I was reading awhile back where AAC was calling for a highway bill saying the worst highway in the country was Saskatchewan 51 where the road is soo bad that you have to drive like 15kph to avoid going off the road. And I found a picture of the highway on google and it looks exactly like driving on I-70 in Kansas.

But the people have become idiots.

[FONT face=Verdana size=1][FONT size=3]Some of the most indelible images of the 1993 flood occurred as the Missouri River overflowed into the Chesterfield Valley. This area, which was under at least 10 feet of water, has since become the site of what will be one of the largest strip malls in the nation. Not only has the valley recovered from the flood, it's become one of the region's most dynamic centers of new economic growth. Proponents say such growth is necessary for the region's tax base. Opponents fear another flooding disaster.

They did it in the name of capitalism. now they want to build on the other side of the highway. The entier area has been turned into concrete. Remember my hummer rant and I showed pictures of the hummer dealership. Its down there along with the bentley dealership and 5,000 stores. It never stops. Its like they completely forgot. I'll take pics and post them up on here soon. Its a joke. So to insure themselves because what they did was illegal (they built on a flood plain) they built 4 levees. Two by the government and 2 by businesses. But because there is two right next to each other it creates a lake that if it gets enough rain will break the two levees protecting the concrete jungle creating a mini flood without the river over flowing.

I've never figured out why someone would buy a vehicle for that amount of money that just looks plain ugly.  Just because people stare at it doesn't mean they are admiring its esthetic beauty.  They are probably wondering where the driver found that much disposable money.

No,No, No. We've had her for almost 7 years. Wait she's 13 now that I think about it. But see when Ozzie sheds he sheds in klumps and he goes to the door when he wants to go out. Angel has to have  cat litter which then Ozzie likes to sniff. They are the odd couple.

I always thought it was a stupid complaint that " I have to scroll all the way through that big bunch of numbers" Like, jeez sorry to make your finger do all that extra work, I know it's tough.
I'd sometimes go mining through the lunch thread for funny pictures, so it was handy in that way for me.

I had to figure it out for myself, but here's what I do to post a pic. Register and stuff at photobucket, when you log on there a button/area to add pic, click "browse" and then I go to My Pictures and find what I want.
Once it's in at photobucket I highlight the URL, copy (ctrl+C), then go back to DS, and when posting click on the mountain thingy picture and paste in the URL.
It sounds like a lot of steps but it moves pretty quick.

What hit me really hard about that site, cutezz, was when more than 10 pages of dv disappeared in a blink of an eye.  (due to a hacker and we suspect Naughty Priest).  I was so sad and felt so helpless....it was hard to put it to words.

From then on, I rarely moderated, never really cared about my "reputation" and just did and say whatever I felt like.  I'm glad that I found this site because otherwise, I wouldn't know how to pass time at work.  ;)

Hey, I tried that, but the window did not close?  Why not?   Is it because it is not a "Professor Key?"

Tht's very cool, the sasquatch clip.  It reminds me of one of those 'flip books'.

I made a flip book a few years back when I got  my first digital camera.  A friend of ours is the official turkey carver at Thanksgiving, but he takes FOREVER. It's become a bit of a joke for us all.[/DIV]So I took 120 pictures of him carving the bird.......explaining I was just learning my camera.

Anyways, (to make a short story long), I made him a flip book.  It's hilarious, and he pulls it out each year now.

Yes, 49er, that works for sure.  I'm a may be a little more 'memory challenged' than some, and sometimes I need to reread a few posts back to 'refresh' my memory when I'm responding.  That's why I'm sort of suggesting that the problem is more with ME than it is with DS.  

TehBorken,  I agreed with Annie that it's a little slower, but it's mostly because of the 'route' I sometimes take.... going back and forth.  It's merely a little different, not bad, by a long shot.

Phew! I thought you meant Holy..as in Holy JC![/DIV]Which is weird because I have a Catholic co-worker that wants to go for fish at lunch because it is Ash Wednesday. You see the confusion? I am not Catholic, so I had no idea what he was talking about.

I agree with HOLY SHIT! ITS BLOODY MARCH ALREADY!! hehe!

Good borscht is made by old Ukrainian or Polish women.

It's taste is....beet soup. The sour cream is for more flavour and creaminess.

&gt;n.     A beet soup served hot or cold, usually with sour cream.

The description doesn't really convey the beauty of this stuff. Rich, deep red flavor, cut with the tang of the sour cream. Hot is the only way I can picture having it.

Couldn't explain it better than Weird Al. I have an older Russian lady for a neighbor a few doors down. I have been shoveling her walk to lend her a hand. She gave me some homade bortsch as a thank you. [/DIV]yes, it has to be hot. there is also a touch of dill in it. A must have with it, is homemade fresh bread.

I'm more like [a href="http://www.bobdenver.com/Maynard_s_CoffeeHouse/Maynard_G__Krebs/body_maynard_g__krebs.html"]Maynard G. Krebs[/a]... when someone says "work" I jump up and scream "WORK!!" and make myself scarce. So far I've had excellent results with it.

I was "working" in a field service office many moons ago and the scum-sucking salesmen would always come to me to try and do stuff for them (demos and stuff). Normally I'd be back in the tech lab with my feet up on the desk, reading the paper. As soon as they walked in and started to talk I'd say "Can't talk, busy!". Usually I did this without even lowering the paper to see who it was. lol

When I transferred out of that office they gave me a T-shirt as a going away present and on the back in great big letters it said "CAN'T TALK, BUSY".

He has all kinds of books. From animals to cars. Problem is, since we moved into the house, they are scattered all over the living room. Figured I better get a shelve. Bought a second hand one for $5.00! (I am not always cheap..hehee). Sanded it down and now painting it. I did the same thing with a change table a few years ago.

Carmel is full of rich folks, and most of them seem to be near death. My partner has three clients in that area and all of them are over 80 years old. Well, they get to enjoy their retirement in a peaceful, beautiful wonderland. Good for them...

LOL bi bimbap is a korean dish that they sometimes serve in my cafeteria (the place is run by korean folks). It's rice, meat, vegies, an egg and other assorted goodies stirred up with hot sauce.

It's actually better in a restaurant because they cook it in a hot pot and it makes the rice that touches the sides of the pot hard and crackly (in a good way)   *drooldrooldrooldrool*

You know, it COULD have been very depressing, depending on the authors perspective.  But his drive and ambition was so uplifting and amazing.  His gusto for life and something better and his commitment and devotion to his family AS A CHILD....couldn't be more encouraging.

It is good to keep perspective. My best friend's son is now recovering from cancer (it's removed and things are good now). That was a major league perspective check. If I'm having a crappy day I just look at my kids and be thankful we all have our health.

P.C., on the island, you actually get a touch more sun than the Lower Mainland. [/DIV]Did you always live there? I think if I ever move back to BC I would want to live in Maple Ridge, but not commute into the city, I would want to set up shop out there. I love it there. A lot of family there too. I just think of my lifestyle in Vancouver is not much different than here. Since my nightlife days, all I want to do on weekends is get out of the city and into the mountains, forests, lakes..etc. I think Maple Ridge has easy access to the outdoors, yet, it is close enough to Vancouver for entertainment purposes. That would be the only reason for me to want to go downtown. No hurry though, I love my job here.

I think we do get a tad more sunshine and a titch less rain.  And although I never say never, I can't imagine what would make me move from the Island.

I was actually born and raised in Vancouver, and left in 86.  I wept for weeks, because I didn't want to be here.  I spent more time back on the mainland visiting friends and family that I did in my 'new' home.  Now you have to DRAG me off the Island. Everytime I drive by the beach, I STILL can't believe I'm so lucky to be here.  I'm certainly not suggesting it would be the same for everybody, but it's everything I didn't know I wanted.

We are working together at HOME on a project separate from either of our jobs. We work together best, by not working together.  He'll do one phase, then I'll do the next.  That's harmonious.....lol.

[FONT face=Arial size=2][DIV class=username]Pho Rap, by Johnny Le[/DIV][DIV class=username] [/DIV][DIV class=posttext]Its all about the soup of the vietnamese style,
PHO is what I been eating since I was a child,
Its the well known of the vietnamese crusine,
PHO is always the top, giving it a perfect ten,

Sang som di anh Pho khi qui mai, (1)
Dum la anh sien dai co thit thai, (2)
Pho vietnam anh ngo nol khi phai, (3)
Dum la qui mai hom bao gio hai, (4)

PHO is the soup where no one else can beat,
Its smells delicious and still have the heat.
Its all about that Vietnamese style soup,
Gotta Love it and share it with the group,

I can't spell in viet well, sound it out and work with me.
I always wanted to be a Pho boy, not rice boy. hahah![/DIV][/FONT][/DIV]

"What are you reading these days?" I just finished Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle (the same guys who wrote Mote in God's Eye OMG). Lucifer's Hammer is about the end of the world. Overall I liked it although it started out slow.

I'm also making my way through an H.P. Lovecraft collection but I prefer to read Lovecraft in small doses so it's taking forever.

Hey P.C.  I haven't seen you for a while.  
I've been busy learning this other person's position (no, nothing sexual).  It's a chance for me to move up in the company.  I'm enjoying my new-found responsibilities.  Unfortunately, I have to go through company's hiring process and "apply" for this available position.  My supervisor can't just give it to me right away.  Ah well, I shall be getting it anyways.  I know that not many people will take on this job.

Anyways, none of my jibbers.  How you doing these days?  I've been trying to get rid of my cough which has been going on for at least a week.  It really sucks!

How nice to have the opportunity to move UP in the company.  You must be good at what you do, to get that chance.  Good for you purelife.  Yaaaayyyyyy !!!  Is this going to cut into your DS time...LOL

I'm in the midst of trying to land a job too. Doing what I'm doing now, is getting a little tough.  With any luck I'll know within the next week or two.

We have snow on a nearby mountain again. This weather is too weird for words...

Shawarma: For Wikipedia

It is similar to [A title="Cuisine of Greece" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_Greece"]Greek[/A] [A title=Gyros href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyros"]gyros[/A] and [A title="Cuisine of Mexico" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_Mexico"]Mexican[/A] [A title="Taco al pastor" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco_al_pastor"]taco al pastor[/A].

Completely off-topic, but I think it's cool that you can see a graph for each user showing what times of the day they post. Kits, for instance, posts almost entirely during the work day. He also apprently gets to work fairly early, as he posts fairly often at 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning. Then his posting drops off dramatically at 4:00, which is maybe when he leaves work?

Sportsdude, on the other hand, post throughout the day and into the night, only stopping for his daily nap of 6 to 7 hours.

Sportsdude is a truly dedicated DS regular.

Yup. Friday is the day I make up all the hours I didn't work the rest of the week.

We have to swipe in and out so "cheating" isn't really an option.

How's it going??

I think OK.  Just cooked up some more Falafel to take over to our friends.  We usualy get together Friday nights for a cocktail or 2 and some appies.  Had some for lunch, and had forgotten how good they were.  Are you there til the bewitching hour ?

Forgot to ask.  Have you seen the new warning on DV when you post a reply?  Hadn't been there for quite a while, so don't know how 'new' it is.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Mar 10 06 07:04
Mmmm, falafel sounds might good right now. I would kill for some dolmas too!  *drool*

I'm here for about another 30 minutes!! W00h00!!

Yeah, I saw the warning. It could be on the level or it could be a ploy. Not that it makes much difference. Actually it makes no difference, I just saw a poop load of racist posts over there. Oh well, at least the owner is trying...

Exactly.....even if it's only a 'token' gesture, it's better than nothing.  It COULD be on the level....that place was becoming a cess pool.  Well, have a great evening tenkani.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a194.gif" border=0]

The RCMP guy was one of the dv tech's connection or something, I think.  He was just there and around the area.  He came to sit down with us.  He was there for a short period of time.

purelife, was the RCMP guy hitting on you? I remember waaay back in the 90s in the "crazy" years. I was at a bar during the uni. days and a beautiful RCMP lady did a walk through with her male partner. I fell in drunk love and started talking to her, she was so cute. I flirted (I know! shocking!), and she had the most beautiful smile, but said this is neither the time nor place. The male cop told me to beat it or I will be in trouble! In the end, I took off, wished I was more sober to remember her name.

Post by: purelife on Mar 13 06 10:34

Good morning, early birds!  My cat let me sleep in until almost 6AM today, for which I am truly grateful.  It is supposed to be another lovely day (rainless, that is), so I'm looking to get out for a while later on.  I haven't thought about lunch yet.  As a matter of fact, I haven't even thought about breakfast.  A small pizza sounds good, though!

I know they are so cute, and set in their ways at that age, mine just had a major operation with his colon, I did not know what to do...since he is older, they guys and gals on the lunch thread were so good...it was such a hard time...but he is doing great...

Good morning kitten.....I'm glad kitty let you sleep.  My little guy wasn't at the door when I went to bed last night, so I ended up waiting another hour for him to decide to show up.  He certainly lives by YOUR quote.

Cutezz, I'm so glad to hear your 'baby' came through all his difficulties.  Yaaaayyyy

Oh, Cutezz, what a nasty thing for your cat to endure.  I'm so glad the problem is fixed now.  Here's wishing your kitty many more good years.  Yes, cats do get very set in their ways as they age. (sort of like people)  Mine eats only one particular kind of cat food.  I have wasted a fair amount of money trying to change his diet, but he just tries to cover it with the carpet.

Poor P.C.  You must have been so exhausted waiting for your cat.  That's why I keep my patio door deadbolt-locked about 3 inches open.  He can come and go as he pleases, without keeping me awake worrying half the night.

Good morning, purelife.  I'm sure a lot of the not-so-nice DVers would have loved to crash the party.  Good job in keeping it secret.  Not such an easy thing to do.

Cutezz, that must be rather embarrassing when you have company, but it's sort of funny too.  That must be so hard on him when food passes through so quickly.  But at least he's healthy now, which is a good thing.

Oh, there was this bad storm when I was in 5th grade. Bus ran late, the tornado sirens were blaring so we took shelter in the cafeteria.  At my mom's school, she's a teacher a dog got scared and ran to the school in the rain.  The school kept Ozzie there for about a week going around the neighbourhood and seeing if the owner would show. Everybody loved him. He's a very likeable and funny dog to be around. They knew he wasn't a stray because he had his tail clipped and spaded. Nobody showed up and since my mom found him she took him home. Named him after the baseball player Ozzie Smith who happend to have a son who played on my basketball team. Small World.

Oh it gets better. Because he's unfortunately a mix between a bigger dog and a smaller dog his frame is too big for his legs. Well he has or had who knows when it comes to him he ain't the brightest(When he doesn't want to come in or go some place he digs his front paws in the ground and then drags the feet therefore causing back problems).  Well he slipped a bunch of disks in his back about 4 years ago and he could barely move it was really painful. Well my dad and him have a love hate relationship. He acts like he hates him but he really doesn't. Well we spent like 5 g's on him to fix his back and the doc said it was really bad, but he fixed it the best he could. Well the giant goober comes out of it like he was reborn and acts like a puppy even thou he like 10 or 11.

ok....here goes.

Cutezz's cat has a bad case of flatulence, sportsdudes dog is in the hall of fame. People are trying to convince purelife that the DV get-together was a dream.  CK had bought some shorts with lucious lips on them to engage in a game of twister with cutezz.  Lise is concerned over Vancouver Island getting sunshine while Vancouver is dripping in rain.

Butch (?) thinks purelife is gay, and kitten was going to have pizza for breakfast this morning.  Brent runs in the morning before he realizes he's awake.  Sportsdude's dog is constipated.  Kingy is looking for ways to empower himself by achieving karma, but doesn't know where to get it. Kits ???? where are you kits ????

That's about it.  Let me check if I missed anything.

I can't rest until I've finished this summary properly.

TehBorken wants pictures of purelifes lesbian affair, and papparazi (?) posted a striking red X. Kingy was titilated for being on TOP of page 119,  Kitten's right foot falls asleep when she drives and we touched base on cutezz cat's colon issues,  Kits was hitting on CK on page 117, and his sweater unraveled at  the DV party.  Kevlar and his wife had words about when they should leave 'the party'.[/DIV]Someones breasts wouldn't stay in their dress at the get-together but nobody would cough up any names, and I'm not sure if this incident was related to unraveling sweaters.

CK was envious of kits having 2 Keiths.  sportsdude was playing softball in the hail whilst they were having a tornado.

That's all I know.  It's all true.

Good afternoon everyone!

Hi tenkani.  I hope that you're feeling better soon.  It sucks to have a fever but sometimes it's a way for your body to let you know that you need rest.  

Ok, I have to ask, someone is posting lots of pics over at DV claiming they are from the party. Is this legit???

The pictures of Jessica, Link, Mike and Orik are legitimate.  The "Santa" pictures are not.  There was an after party that Mike's Clubzone gang had at The Buffalo Club.  He invited all the attendees to have this VIP access to this "after party."  I only organized the dinner get-together that started at 6:30 to around 9:30pm.  After that, I had no clue what was happening.  It was up to the individual.  I didn't attend the after party.  

Does that help answer your question, tenkani?

You don't question the Legion...you listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas...

Odd, isn't it? I think it's mainly because they can't screw it up and ruin things the way they've been doing on DV, and that's probably very frustrating for them. (lol)

They're like the monkeys in one of those ultra-sterile cells, the only means of self-expression they have left to them is to fling their own poop on the walls. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)  

Some poor boob spent a fair bit of time last night posting dead animal pics here; it took me about a minute to remove them (I had to get coffee first!).

Now that I know what the cat is singing, it makes it even more special, kits.  I'm with you on the mockery bit!  I've got no use for the brain-washing that goes on in the name of religion.

Homemade though, can't go wrong with that! BBQ?

Post by: kitten on Mar 16 06 12:12
Baked, but loosely  wrapped in foil with BBQ sauce to keep it moist.  I've decided to go with it after all. The aroma in the kitchen is beautiful while it's in the oven.

Odd, isn't it? I think it's mainly because they can't screw it up and ruin things the way they've been doing on DV, and that's probably very frustrating for them. (lol)

They're like the monkeys in one of those ultra-sterile cells, the only means of self-expression they have left to them is to fling their own poop on the walls. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)  

Some poor boob spent a fair bit of time last night posting dead animal pics here; it took me about a minute to remove them (I had to get coffee first!). They spend 10 or 20 minutes crafting their nonsense and it disappears in the blink of an eye. Lol, I love to watch them waste their time doing stuff like that.


What a sad bunch of group who want to destroy what is beautiful.  I learned my lesson to NEVER log-in as a moderator past 11pm.  All hell breaks lose and trolls go wild because they know that a moderator (or two) is around.  They want to test the moderator's tolerance.  I once stayed on for an hour deleting and deleting where that hour should've been spent sleeping.

WHAT?? Angelina is a humanitarian and a lot more intellectual than you might think. Brad is also a humanitarian and involved in various causes. They actually have things in common! I saw Angelina interviewed on the Actor's Studio and she was very deep. If she just wanted sex she could rope in HUNDREDS of eager 18 year old studs.

Brad dumped that Aniston WASTE OF FLESH because she is a shallow, talentless, insecure douche! He found an amazing life-partner, yet the world does nothing but gripe and tear at their relationship   *sob*

Aniston comes across as a very needy women who demands a lot of personal attention from Brad.  IMO, Brad is the type of guy that doesn't want to feel strapped down to some kind of a "one girl" committment relationship.  I feel that Aniston really feels insecure about the kind of publicity and attention Brad gets.  Whereas Jolie, she is beautiful, much more beautiful inside and out than Aniston.  Brad feels that Jolie has more confidence and is more secure with herself therefore, he feels that Jolie is the "one" and only.  

This is just my opinion.

Actually, I agree. We could use more conflict and dynamic tension here. I'm not exactly sure how that comes about. I think it has something to do with having a critical mass of people who aren't afraid to look stupid.

I bounce back and forth between DS and DV. When I want to lurk and see some lawless insanity and poop-flinging flame wars, I hobble over to DV. When I want to curl up, read some cool news threads and sip tea while having Lunch, well, you get the picture     (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/5.gif)

Yeah, actually, any questions on Canada, ask sports! He knows more than your average Canadian.

  Its also home to CFL's best fans. They take this stuff very seriously. I seen a guy from Saskatchewan that had a Rider tattoo on his leg. I commented on it. He said, that is nothing, pulled up his shirt and his back was one massive Rider logo tattoo!? In BC, it was like "oh, there is a game going on???".

well the avatar should give it away although a lot my policies closely align with the NDP. So really its a toss up. Took a quick political test during the election and it said I agreed with 6 Liberal ideas and 4 NDP ideas. People keep talking about uniting the left, someone like me would be there perfect canidate.

went skiing last year at breckenridge. Spent most of the time in a ski class but I got pretty good at it. The last day I was there I skied all of the blue trails and did fine. Had fun like to do it again.        
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Mar 21 06 12:13
breckenridge looks cool. Never been there. Only been to Colorado in the summer months. The only prob for us Canadians is, the prices are usually the same as the hills here, but there it is in American $$. Worth it just to stay close to home. Mind you, Colorado has been getting better snow the past few years...

Hey guys.. Most of my skiing was done back east in Quebec, Mont Ste Anne, Mont Tremblant.. The hills are great but it can get extremely cold. A wine sac was always a must !!

Purelife, Ziptrek is a cable thats extended between Blackcomb an Whistler mountain. The cable goes from platform to platform and crosses Fitzsimmons Creek about 4 times. It was pretty awesome !!

I root for the Canadian Teams, except the leafs, can't stand them. Bettman needs to bring back the Jets and the Nordiques. Forget about putting a team in the suncoast or vegas.

When it comes down to it, I like any team, as long as they play their hearts out and give it their all. I just like good hockey.

Wasn't reason they left Quebec was due to the arena?

Well looking at Quebec politics at the moment the PQ is in pretty good shape to take over sadly, and they could if they wanted to build a new arena in Quebec City in the name of Quebec to lure the NHL back. And this does have precedent it happend in Charolette with the Bobcats of the NBA. The Hornets left for New Orleans and two years later Charolette had a new arena, new owner and new team.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Still pretty unreal a northern city like Seattle doesn't have an NHL team. They have 2 WHL teams (including Everett).
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 21 06 01:30
The reason we don't see more northern teams were the game is actually played is because the guy who runs the league nows nothing about hockey he's a basketball exec! And he's the George Bush of Hockey thinking southern towns will embrace hockey like Nascar thinks northerners will embrace Nascar!  With the new CBA the little guy can compete finally. And now with the loonie being stronger then it was in the mid-90's, you must look into Canada and the Northwest as options, not Las Vegas!

Sugared sodas are terrible for your health, mostly because they are completely empty calories. You can drink 300 calories worth of soda and since it doesn't do anything to sate your hunger, you then go out and eat a full meal.

 Dionysos - Dionysos is the Greek god of wine, intoxication, ecstacy, sensuality, rebellion, and drama. He is said to have an effeminate, androgynous, or transgendered appearance. He is considered a god of women, and men are often excluded from his rituals. Dionysos is bisexual. His male lovers included: Achilles, Acoetes, Adonis, Ampelus, Hermaphroditus, Hymenaeus, Laonis, and Prosymnus.

A job I got canned from 5 years ago.  First and only job I ever got canned from.  But the guy that 'let me go' just got the boot, and it was recommended I come back.

I didn't really post anything about 'the job'....(too small a town....lol) just that I'd gone for an interview with the new GM. .....and yesterday I got the call.  

  It was a job I really liked, and I was good at it *blush*

You're going to do fine.

As different as everthing's going to feel at first, try to picture yourself 6 months from now, when things have become routine, looking back on yourself now and wondering why you were so worried. That sometimes works for me.

  What's the weather like where you are, CK? It's sunny here. Quite a break from all the rain we've been having.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Mar 27 06 09:58
Its mild here. A little sun, up to 8 today. No rain today.

We got lucky actually, on Saturday morning they called fore a heavy snowfall warning. Guess they didn't realize how warm it was, we just got rain instead. Its spring fresh today.

Oh, I LOVE SNOW! Well on the mountains anyways. Same thing I do here as I did in Van, evacuate the town on the weekends to the ski hill. One thing I did not miss this winter, the 3 month non-stop rain of the Lower Mainland. Its amazing, thought I would miss it, but I didn't? Actually, I almost feel bad, not missing much out there these days. I don't miss living in a tiny condo that costs more than the house I bought here. Housing costs have got too scary!

We had an unusually warm winter mind you. Scary warm.I know some winters I will be ready to stay in Trinidad!! haha!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Mar 27 06 10:13
Yeah, the housing prices are so stupid here, CK. Honestly, you'd think that ppl would grow a brain instead of snatching up condos at ridiculous prices.

  Too many ppl are moving to Calgary and Edmonton already. Sigh. I can't believe the prices of houses in your area compared to the ones here. No wonder more and more kids are staying at home with their parents.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Mar 27 06 10:19
Mind you, I probably would have stayed out there if my company gave me the same opportunity as they transfered me out here for.

Too many people moving out here, yet there is a major labor shortage?  We can't find qualified people at my firm for the coming season. Same story everywhere in town.

A new restaurant called Avacado Mexican just opened. They are offering employees $500.00 for staying for 3 months and a trip to Mexico to stay a year. We are starting to have to think of creative ways to find people too...maybe open bar after 4pm? Free cab rides home? Trips to Hawaii??

Yep, the whole implant thing has always seemed odd to me....the body image/self-esteem thing, I guess. Most of the women I know who've had implants I liked better before the boob job than after. It seems like it's bowing to a ridiculous social "standard" of some sort. But maybe that's just me because I prefer a smaller bust rather than larger.

Oh its for real. The Baby Boomers are just starting to retire too. Another thing, the housing prices won't be much behind the Lower Mainland in a couple years. Happy I got in my home when I did.

  On another note, Newfoundland has a major blizzard again.

Hi Cutezz.

  TehBorken, I totally agree with you.  I don't see the fad for bigger boobs.  I have heard so many problems that the lady encounters when she decides to breast feed and I'm all FOR breastfeeding.  I can see celebrities going for breast implants because they are pressured to look good but really, how does one define "looking good?"  We have different opinions and feedbacks of what is beautiful and not.  

  I'm a firm believer for the au naturel.  

  Don't start me on makeup.  Holy, some girls are just caking with makeup and makeup galore that hides their beautiful face inside.  Ack!  I've never really liked makeup.

 If you do go the bio-diesel route, let me know how that goes. Its an awesome idea. I would fully support that. I am selling my car soon. Looking at options also. Want small, but a good unit for the mountains.

  As for the slogan, I think I seen it at Expo 86 when I was little. I believe it was at the Canada pavillion.

It wasn't really exciting, I made a really great fettecinni alfredo with prawns, scallops, and mushrooms with garlic bread on the side. Then my "roommate" and I proceeded to drink copious amounts of sleemans in short amount of time and decided to go to the bar with some friends. Unfourtunately the bar we wanted to go to (Skybar) just happened to begin renovations yesterday...lol, so we ended up at Toby's on the Drive (basically because it was within stumbling distance lol) where we met up with said friends and drank alot more beer...I can't remember for the life of me what we were drinking though, anyway the bar closed, we came home and.........well, I haven't omitted anything so far but....nobody really wants to know what I did next....

What kind of car are you looking for, kit?

  Did you decide to drop my 'S' ??

  I am not sure what i am going to get next...  It depends completely on what I get for the one I have now.

  When I purchased my car, I bit off not more than I can chew, but much more than was neccessary.  I had just signed the deal for my new job, had just purchased a condo, I was feeling good that day and over indulged.....  alot.

  So, the car is just over a year old so I hopefully wont take too much of a hit....  that will be the decider on what I purchase.  I will prob get a new jeep grand cherokee, or the new acura SUV...  I am not too sure.

  My car spends 80% of its life in storage anyway....

I despise SUV's in general. (Yukon, Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade, HUMMER (grr), Explorer, Expedition, Excursion, Durango, etc.) don't mind the little fellas, but if you are just going to use it as a city driving vehicle why not get a car? Saves on gas and the enviroment.

I feel the same way about SUVs, although I'm interested to see what they do with the concept of small hybrid SUVs.

  I was planning to get a light truck, since I will likely be doing some landscaping work in the future, but the truck I wanted (a Toyota Tacoma) actually gets mileage around 20 MPG or slightly worse. So now I'm thinking of a disel Jetta or something similar with the bio-diesel kit.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kits on Mar 31 06 01:09
When I use it, I have a lot of things that have to come along with me.

  that is the frist reason I am getting rid of the car.

  I am not a fan of the environmental impact that SUVs have, but I also hate taking two or three trips in a small car...

I am thinking the VW Golf diesel. I had a 4runner before I had my Passat. It was powerful and all, but how much power do I need to get to the mountains and back on weekends? I am not into 4x4ing and destroying clean mountain meadows. I am not crazy about my Passat either. Its kind of a waste if you ask me. I walk to work. At work I keep my work truck locked up. I only use it for site visits.

  I don't know...I am so confused! Good luck kits with the car situation!

"Do you believe in using handwriting analysis to judge personality types?"



I do believe that graphology is a good indicator or personality.  

  Why do you ask?

"my god has Keith aged reallllly bad.....ick"



I think he has "character".

I think he's a great choice to play Depp's pirate dad.

 I wish. Saved my cat from gang green. Got in a pickle with a bunch of my cousins boxers. Had a deep wound in his stomach, looked like he'd been shot. Any got that fixed, doc said he would have died in a couple of weeks due to gang green infection. And to top that all off the got his balls chopped off. So much a kitten can take I guess. He's a trooper.

New people and new places.  I also bought a house late last year with my dearest love and we are having fun doing renos and such.  It's been very interesting seeing what comes up from the ground in our garden.  I love this time of year.

Great news about the job! And the garden! I've got one as well, except that everything's in a pot, so there isn't as much mystery as to what's going to pop up. It must be nice to own a house. Does it feel like home yet?

It definately feels like home.  We knew it was the place for us as soon as we walked in.  It's within stumbling distance from friends and just close enough to family to be far enough away.

Cool. My old house was built in the 60's. It had radiant heating which was neat but it meant you couldn't have a basement which sucked.  But it wasn't really 40 years old because half the house burned down when I was 2 in '87.

Yeah dad had an old Chevy Nova and it blew up in the garage.(dieseled which means it leaked something sparked and kaboom). It was so bad it was a three alarm fire.  Made the news and was in the paper. I have the paper cut out somewhere it shows my dad picking up something in the backyard looking at the gutted house.

  Then it happend again a couple years later except this time it was my church and that fire was HUGE. The church was really big. So big (as in size not members) it was the top story in the news that night. Miss the old church. Would always go up to the organ in the balconey and watch dad get ready (he's an organist/child prodigey has been playing the organ since 8 started playing in services at 12, 12!, plus he's like a freaking opera singer).

Hi P.C.!! Good to hear from you too *big bear hugs and foot rubs*

  yeah, just catching up a bit. Not really into it. Just nice to get a couple things finished while the office is quiet. I find Fridays here are just about a write off. Lots of BSing with employees in the morning, then usually a pub lunch..that last a little too long. I find the office here is a lot different environment than the one in Vancouver (same company). But here, they just work like crazy stressed out and stuff from Monday to Thursday working long hours and stuff, Friday comes, its party time. In Vancouver it was just an average pace Monday to Friday. Still getting used to it I guess.

  How the heck are you?

Hey Master Tenkani,

  Lunch is really good in Vancouver. So many competition that restaurants offer all-u-can-eat places for under $12 or less. No wonder my waist is expanding. (amongst other reasons - heh)

  Tired today. Went to get my ultrasound. Trying not to pee is a pain in the butt but heck, you gotta do what you gotta do.

  It's official. Lise is pregnant! YEAH. Baby looks good judging from the monitor. Asked if they could tell the sex and got a big fat NO. "We don't do sex check any more," was the response. Ah well.

Neither have I. Can you describe its flavour?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on May 01 06 12:15
That's a tough one.

Well, it's a special tea mixed with sugar and some milk product (oftentimes half and half).

When it arrives, the milk is floating on top, so it's got two layers of color.

Most people mix them up when they get the drink.

The taste is a little hard to describe and also varies by restaurant.

It's sweet and milky.

Utterly unique.

If made well, it will explode in your mouth and leave you panting.

The sandwich is one we make at my work. (so I'll try not to sound like ad copy here) Fresh baked foccaccia, honey bourbon BBQ sauce (this sauce is teh rocks, we cook it with lots of veggies in it), The brisket is natural grass fed free range beef that is smoked for 15 hours and cooked for 6, melted cheddar, carmelized onions, and the fresh tomatoes and a nappa cabbage slaw.
....mmmm....(it still sounds good even though I work there)

 I always laugh at those people. Their lives appear to be so empty of substance as to allow their emotional state to be influenced by whether a hockey team wins or loses.  It just seems kind of pathetic to me to be so invested in something like that. Am I the only one that feels that way?

One place I worked the people were all chronic sports fiends- that's ALL they ever f*cking talked about, day and night. It's like the rest of the world didn't exist. When "their" team lost everybody in the place was in a crap-ass mood for days. Except me, I was blissfully unaffected by all the hand-wringing and bitching and moaning.

  Hiya ten!

  Yes, I hear you. I am not into any team sports but hockey. I love hockey a lot. Not just to watch, but to play. I love cheering on my team too, (ask Chicklet), but its pretty sad when a family forks out $1000.00 to go to a professional sports game and if their team loses, its the end of the world? Damn, Iginla, as great as he is, will still get paid his 7 million/annually and he will be golfing in the Barabdos before the end of the weekend. Sad! Don't cry for the team, they still get paid on time.

I will admit to being attached to the Canucks and perhaps in an unhealthy way.  I was disapointed when they didn't make it to the playoffs and may have uttered some harsh words but I surely didn't let it ruin my day.  I've gotten over it and moved on.  I have great hope for the future.

   I love the Canucks too. But what people forget is, its "entertainment" and not something that is supposed to ruin your day if they lose. The world has some major issues these days, to let a sports lose ruin your day. To me anyways, its all in fun...

Greetings all! How is everyone today?

  Had to wash myself mentally... just encountered a really creepy personality on DV. Yuck. Worst one-to-date.

  What's for lunch today? Hopefully dim sum!! Yayyyy!!!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Chicklet on May 09 06 10:46
Hi Lise!

Just shake it off.  I'm sure that person isn't worth the worry.  Why do peole have to be so ugly?

Dim Sum eh?  Sounds like a plan to me.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on May 09 06 10:51
No. You're right but when you talk about kids and sex.... that's really, really.... uhm.... anyways, yeah, shake it off.

  Dim sum is awesome. I've been craving it for eons. Do you like dim sum?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Chicklet on May 09 06 10:53
I do like dim sum very much.  I am a veggie so I'm slightly limited as to what I can enjoy but never the less I do partake often.  Any suggestions on really great places around town?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on May 09 06 10:56
Definitely. Sun Sui Wah (any branch) has lovely dumplings. I also like Kirin in Richmond - a bit pricey but the portions are good quality.

  I usually end up going to Big Lai on Kingsway. Not the best service but they have ok size dim sum.

I looked at Gopher's suggestion of toad-in-the-hole, but decided on bangers and mash instead.  Haven't had that in ages.  It's nice comfort food, but too calorific for every day.  Hope everybody is having a pleasant day.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on May 09 06 11:11
Bangers and marsh? What is that exactly? Sausages and marshed potatoes... right? English food?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 09 06 11:24
You got it, Lise.  Fattening as can be, but very tasty.  Add some green peas and it's a good meal once in a long while
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Gopher on May 09 06 11:32
Twice in a short while is even better (however, I still prefer toad in the hole)

I'm so sorry to hear that bro.  Anything I can do to help?

Things are pretty exciting here in Chickletville.  We are having our huge trees trimmed and cleaned up and we are also expecting a couple of new additions to our ever growing family.

A new Stove and new washer and dryer.  I cannot tell you how excited I am.  The appliances that came with our house were all the originals.  Old to say the least.

  More strange names of food. I remember when I was in Tunisia I was surprised by a menu which included Fingers of Fatima and Thuna of Rain Soup (the former were somewhat similar to potato croquettes, the latter was a very thin, clear soup whose other contents left me guessing).

   Hello my sweet Chicklet!

Yeah, I guess because I use to live in a condo in Burnaby, I never realized how much maintenance a house really has. I enjoy it, just drains the bank. Can't bring money with you when you die so, may as party today!

next project, I am going to finish the fireplace with stone. This is on top of a hundred things to do in the yard.

  My boy is growing too fast! He is doing great.

  Ah, my lady friend rocks! She is actually not that new anymore, I guess. Since early fall we have been hanging out.  She works a lot of crazy hours, so sometimes its hard to see her.

  Mmmmmm, almost lunch for me. Going for a walk in the sun.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Chicklet on May 10 06 10:29
You'll have to let me know how the fireplace goes we want to do the same.

Enjoy the sun and catch some rays for me.  I'm stuck in a dark room.

Hiya!!!

  Porta-potties sort of freak me out as well. Sometimes I worry that a guy will tip it over when I'm inside. There was an episode of Jackass where they put skis on a porta-pottie and some poor jerk was locked inside as it sped down a snow-covered hill. Naturally, when it finally crashed the guy was covered in...um...I'll let your imaginations do the talking

Butter is essential.  Unfortunately, I am no longer permitted to have butter, but Becel works very well in its place.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Gopher on May 13 06 12:41
I'm also not supposed to have much, and salt is totally out. Strange thing is that after about three months, I decided that I didn't miss salt at all. Butter is a totally different matter though.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 13 06 12:46
I think you would find that Becel is a close taste substitute for butter.  At least much closer than any other margarine I've tried.  It's one of those health-smart products that actually taste good.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Its about a genious breaking his innocent older brother out of prison who was wrongly convicted in the murder of the vice presidents brother who actually isn't dead.  Its really gripping and gritty.

Sorry, Gopher, my mind must have been on stand-by, or I would have understood what you meant.  I envy you for being able to grow your own veggies.  The best I can do with what little sunny area I have is to grow tomatoes and cukes.  The taste is so much nicer than what one can get in a store.

Have you noticed how chances for a lie-in never seem to come to anything? You either wake up early and get up because you don't know what to do with yourself - OR someone knocks on the door.

You're right....once the cat wakes me, I'm up for the day.  But he wakes me at the first sign of light, which comes ever earlier each day.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 23 06 01:17
Yeah the meds are for acne. Accutane.

Don't think my other meds cause nose bleeds. Just the Accutane.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on May 23 06 01:22
Boy, I had the worst acne/pimple problems in high school. Guess it's part of growing up. You know, your hormones go crazy.

  Did your meds work for you? I had nothing! Just pimple cream. Nothing worked except for the passage of time.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 23 06 01:28
So far the accutane works. The others didn't mainly because I didn't do everything you are suppose to do. (typical male they say)

  Only side effects are the nose bleeds, the super dry lips, and dry skin (everywhere).  The other big problem is getting girls pregnant on this medication because the baby will have birth small lungs and small heart and a cone head. (Girls who take this medication have to go on 4 differnt types of birth control).  But I don't have to worry about girls at the moment because they seem to avoid me like the plague. (Most likely has to do with my height I guess, I scare people too easily when they don't know I'm there.)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Ah, no way. That potent to girls, eh? My husband would beg to differ, of course. Since getting mua pregnant, he thinks he's the most potent man to walk the face of this earth.

I can blend in the crowd really easily and thats hard to do when you are 6'8. Plus I'm really shy and quiet.  But yeah when I was at my second high school I'd scare atleast 5 girls a day because in the lunch line I'd be right behind them and they didn't know I was there and they'd scream.

Ah, not to worry SD. The right woman will find you when you least expect. Heck, I was shy as a bumblebee in highschool but that all changed when I went to university.

You tell me? The only two girls that ever liked me one was a british girl but she moved back to Europe and the other was a pyscho-path but that was a long time ago. We're talking ages like 6-8 years ago.  Haven't had a friend that was a girl either since.

  No, I can believe that. Something about a bad boy mentality that attracts young chicks these days. Shows you how mature they are. You don't really wanna hang around them.

I plan on going to school up around the Seattle area either this year or might just take the year off to travel (always wanted to go to Montreal or maybe ski at Whistler)

Then I'll join the peace corp (because I'll need a trump card to get into law school or more education)

Then after those two years are up liked to go to school in Canada somewhere (mostly some law school)

Then if I pass the bar examine in Canada well that means I have to practise in Canada which means I'm going to have to live there.

 A zimmer frame is what we call in the states a "walker".

Maybe this will help to explain it...

If you're in trouble he will save the day
He's brave and he's fearless, come what may
Without him the mission would go astray
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
Without him life would be much grimmer
He's handsome trim, and no-one slimmer
He will never need a zimmer.
 
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
More reliable than a garden strimmer
He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner
He's not bald and his head doesn't glimmer.
 
Master of the wit and the repartee
His command of Space Directives is uncanny
How come he's such a genius? Don't ask me.
Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
He's also a fantastic swimmer
And if you play your cards right then-he-just-might
Come round for dinner.
 
He's Arnold Arnold Arnold Rimmer,
No rhymes left now apart from Qwimmer.
I hope they fade out before we get to shimmer
Fade out you stupid Rimmer

Post by: P.C. on May 26 06 05:06
Well this IS my weekend.  I work on Sundays.

  I think I'm going to try to start taking my deck apart.  It's HUGE, and the stringers are rotting so it is becoming unsafe.  Much of the cedar is still good, so I'm going to try to salvage as much as possible. My back is kinda screwed right now, so I'll see how it feels tomorrow.  But I have some new ideas for replacing it (and it won't be cedar)

I have a 2 year olds B-Day party to go to tomorrow afternoon and then I don't know what.  It's been go, go, go for me lately so I would be quite happy to just sit on my deck and enjoy our new view.  We had two big cedars trimmed yesterday and now we can see clear across the Fraser and up to the mt's.

Decks are great aren't they?  But they do need care and upkeep.  Ours needs some tlc too.  What are your plans for it?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 26 06 05:24
Because of the size of it, it would be far too expensive to do it again in cedar, so I was thinking of flagstone.  It would allow me to extend it to surround a gi-normous cedar tree, which the present deck has a fence at the end in front of it.  I'd really like it's glory to be in your face.  It's an old feller....most likely 4 to 5 hundred years old and the trunk at the base is at least 8 feet through the centre.  I don't know how big around it is, but it's magnificent.

  You've been doing the reno's.....so I'd recommend enjoying the occasional pause to appreciate what you've done.  If it's all work and no relaxo, it becomes not so fun real quick.

Ah...well this evening I'm going to be bumming around, playing video games and just generally being a complete waste of man-flesh.

Tomorrow I'm going to do a little gardening (some transplants, weeding etc.) and then I'm meeting up with my buddy. We might see X-Men, or we might just hang out and play video games and act like complete wastes of man-flesh. I'm so good at that.

Sunday and Monday I'm not sure but I may grab my camera, hop on my bike and hit the trails. There are some AMAZING bike trails down here and lots of flora and fauna to gape at!

Ditto Chicklet.

  That's the stuff that weekends are made for, tenkani.  Sounds wonderful to me.  I hope to get some time in the garden tomorrow too.  I have 6-packs of plants everywhere, and pottery waiting to be overstuffed.  The majority of my gardens are container gardens as the foresty floor and lack of sunshine prefers it this way.  

  Well, must throw some appetizers together for our Friday night celebration.  I'll roll something up in phyllo......you can't go wrong...lol.  I'd probably eat bark mulch if it were wrapped in phyllo.....love it.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on May 26 06 05:57
What's phyllo??

Have fun in your garden, P.C.!!! Most of my green babies are in pots as well, but that's cause I'm renting. Meh.

I always like to visit my dad because he's got a huge yard with some cypress trees growing in the back and lots of various plants growing everywhere! I'm trying to convince him to let me start a shade garden under the trees but I think he wants me to concentrate my efforts in a slightly more visible portion of the property.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 26 06 06:09
Phyllo is a tissue thin Greek pastry.  Usually you brush it with butter, and wrap things in a way that the phyllo becomes layered several times over for a delicately crispy tender flakey bite around whatever filling you choose.....sweet or savory.  (same pastry as in Spanikopita)  Yum.

  We stayed in a place where you are, that had the most lovely gardens.  (It had an unusual name, that I can't think of at the moment without looking at my scrapbook) but there was a HUGE garden tucked up in behind that you'd never know was there from the street.  Do you know where I might be talking about ?  (I Know...pretty vague)

 Erm...that doesn't ring a bell. Was it a historic adobe?

I have my first landscaping class in the fall. I'm really looking forward to it because we get to create landscape designs on the computer and whatnot. I'm also taking a class on irrigation in the fall, so they should synergize well together.

So far I've taken 2 classes in plant ID, 2 introduction to horticulture classes and a couple short courses....um, pruning and vegetable gardening. I feel like such a n00b, but in a good way. I just wish I had more actual experience to draw from.

Hey, do they make baklava with phyllo?
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 26 06 06:28
I believe so, tenkani.....a Casa Something or other.  Dennys was close by if I remember correctly.  

How wonderful to be getting such an education in something so rewarding.  I have a buddy who has built a couple golf courses, and the amount of courses required is amazing.  His knowledge of all things green is mind boggling.  Best of luck in that tenkani.....your enthusiasm will surely allow you to do well.

  Baklava....now your talking.  That would be phyllo.

Actually, knowing Lise, I don't know if I can lift the sex toys either.

It is actually Lilith Silver from Razor Blade Smile.  One of my all time favorite vampire movies.  She is an assasin and that's a BFG she's holding.  I highly recommend it if you like Vampire flicks.

[h4]"The acting by a predominantly British cast is consistently pretentious, with monotonous delivery of sardonic lines that eventually all sound the same. Eileen Daly certainly looks the part, with her bright red lipstick, knowing glances and leather- clad (or is it rubber?) buxom body.
 
The whole film comes across like a very long in-joke to which the audience isn't a party."[/h4]  -Brian Webster of Apollo Guide

Yep.  She's pretty hot eh? The whole premise of the movie is quite different from most vampire films.  They break some of the steroetypes like vampires not being able to go out in the sun etc.  It's is pretty low budget but Jake West, the Director, does a great job with the story.

I don't know if you could rent it off of Netflix Tenkani. The bloody puritans had it rated NC-17.

Well, it never won any Oscars (none of the ones I like ever do) but it's my kind of film.  I saw at the Vancouver International Film Festival in 1999 and hunted down the DVD as soon as it came out.

And yeah, they have it at Netflix. I don't think the puritans have quite taken over yet.

I don't know much about netflix but if they edit content before they make a film available, I ask that you don't give them your money.  Films are edited for a purpose, it is an art and anyone who tells you what you can and cannot view based on their company beliefs in BS.  Just say no to censorship.  Blockbuster was caught doing that a few years back and I haven't rented from them since.

I've never heard that Netflix does that kind of academe-esque B.S.
I think it would make an uproar if it did and yeah, I would probably cancel my account.

Wow! He is a hottie!

Hello and stuff! Yep, still alive! Still outdoors a lot. I will be most of the summer. WOOHOOO!!!

Starting to like it too much. Starting to question the point of living in a city. Need to wake up at a nice mountain lake everyday! Nothing wrong with big cities, just seem pointless when the sun is rising over a mountain peak, the lake is like glass, the birds chirping, the mist dispersing, traffic is the water going through my coffee maker!

My own bed is nice too though. We had a thunderstorm last night, I thought it was going to hit our house it felt so close! Pretty exciting!

chat soon lunch!

I'm going out with all my cell-mates to get some thai food at a fantastic local restaurant. Yum  *drool*
We're going out to celebrate two new office-mates, one of which was weirdly enough a girl I had a huge crush on at university. I think maybe she got a job here just to be close to me     (//forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/5.gif)

 That sounds gooooooood. OMG my stomach is rumbling like an angry mob!
Speaking of hunger...
[font face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial" size="-1"]
 
For da shorteez gather 'round and let me tell ya somethin'
For da shorteez can't you hear them little stomachs rumblin'
For da shorteez yo, ya gonna eat that raggamuffin?
for da shorteez let's show the shorteez some lovin'
 
C'mon, my name is Sir Loin, been at this for a while
I got four stomachs for only one stomach and mouth
That's a little empty belly with a vacancy sign
kinda like close encounters of the charity kind
Ya got canned goods just collectin' dust
Ya got meat, got fruit, got vegatables
Only prerequisites that can set a bowl
Get ya freak on at my freaky food festival
Cold cuts a must, don't even take bread crust
Cuz the shorteez be beggin', some begga's don't give a...
They's hungry, let's face facts, they starve
Feel a void in yourheart, fill ya shoppin' cart,  
 
for da shorteez
For da shorteez (for da shorteez y'all)
For da shorteez (for da shorteez)
 
Think at what's at stake, look upon your plate
If it's a slab o' steak, time to regurgitate
Ya got a double chin, their little chins too slim
Ya think it's good for them?
The little kids expose ribs
Just think of all da shorteez, can't ya hear 'em cry?
Paula, cough up that burger and fries
Hams on my left, double cans, Bob's got high
Give to the hungry shorteez, so the shorteez won't die
Stop the felon please, steady eatin' ham and cheese
Throw away your greens, you be pissin' on a dream
Gimme all your onion rings, it's a'ight listen
A slice a pizza, it don't matter if a bite's missin'
Prime rib, porkchop, porterhouse, it don't stop
My actin' like hogslop, to the shorteez it's alot
They been hungry since birth, so hand over your desert
Open up your mouth, stick a finger down, it could be worse
listen closely , gimme all your groceries
Cuz a little baby's screamin "man , I need a hogie!"
"Somebody hold me, somebody console me, somebody boil me up a pot o' pirogies!"
Think of what we're facin', all those little faces, c'mon let's erase this... for da shorteez
 
(Check It Out)
Doin' it for da shorteez

Hmmm, I may have to dissapoint you this time.
I'm tempted to hit the cafeteria coffee cart for some vegan potato salad and a hummus wrap, but more likely I'll just stay at my desk and eat some shrimpy noodles and maybe a small bag of chips (with trans fat OMG).
My stomach is rumbling like crazy for some reason, it's only 10:30!

  I've been working much more than I'd like to be.  My yard is screaming for attention, as are a half a dozen other projects I'd like to be working on.  This week my days off will be spent on an order for wedding invitations (I wonder if I can do some weeding while I'm doing this).

Ohhhh Kitten, that sounds scrumptious.  I was leaning towards something sea foody myself, and that just put me over the top.

  tenkani....I LOVE weeding.  It's most gratifying, and rhythmically mindless.  I find it therapeutic, as it's one job that has such great, in your face visual results.  There are so many jobs that you can toil over, that don't give that kind of satisfaction.  (some weeds CAN be a little nasty)  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/verschiedene/a038.gif" border=0]

I have cedar roots growing throughout my garden, and a very nasty type of weed that has roots halfway to China, that wrap around the cedar roots for an even firmer grip.  I asked  a landscaper what I could do about them, and he suggested poisoning them.  I really don't want to put poison in my garden, so I'm at a loss for what to do about them.  They do have pretty flowers, though.

I really don't want to put poison in my garden, so I'm at a loss for what to do about them.  They do have pretty flowers, though.

  Then my recommendation would be to merely put a shape to their edges.  Make it look as though you planted them there with intent.  Embrace what wants to be.   Reminds me of this story of a couple who's father had come to visit from a 'far-away place'.  The couple wanted so desperately to landscape the yard and have a beautiful lawn in before his visit, but simply couldn't find the time.  Dandylions covered the yard.

  After the fathers return home, his thank-you letter was filled with kudos for the effort he believed they had put forth on his behalf.....filling the yard with 'those beautiful yellow flowers'.

I actually like weeding too!! For about the first hour!
The problem is I keep getting jobs where it's 2 or 3 hours straight of pulling weeds and by the end my fingers and wrists are sore.
As far as the persistent weed problem, I like the idea of horticultural fabric (NOT that nasty black plastic crap!) with a layer of wood chips on top. If you want to plant something in the ground you can always clear away a circle of chips, cut an x in the fabric and plant directly into the soil but everywhere else you have pretty wood chips (I prefer the fine "monkey fur" variety) and the weeds can't poke up through them!!

Ask Sensei Gopher though for the real answer    :)

EDIT: Wow P.C.'s answer is a lot more poetic and cool than mine. I am humbled.

  I had a bag of cherries the other week, all gone in a few minutes. I wonder if every one else adds to the experience by taking the pits, pinching them between their fingers and shooting them all over the place? (I do so recommend doing this when in a crowd, surreptitiously of course - I shot a cherry in the air, it came to rest in someone's hair).

Well whatever I can find. Usually pre cooked chicken, cheese and whatever else is lying around. (Used tomatos, lettuce, jalopenos, etc.). Today I ran out of chicken so I went on a limb and put deli ham in its place with a teaspoon of newmans own caeser dressing in replace of the gringo mama salsa from dierbergs (local chain, stl ((saint louis abbrevated) the only place in the world where Walmart is afraid to go to (they end up getting thrown out of town)).

Suprising as usual whatever I do seems to work.  For a guy who never took a cooking class in his life and only figured things out by trial and error and by watching them do it at taco bell, I'm pretty good.

I had a grilled cheese sandwich and a medium-sized bowl of cherries.  It seems like the cherries are tastier this year, or maybe I'm just glad to see them again.  I bought strawberries and blueberries as well, so I'll likely be living on fruit more than anything else for a while.

I love this time of the year mainly for the fruit kitten.  I have fruit salad almost everyday.  I love the berries and the peaches and pretty much everything else (except cherries).  Not sure why but I just don't dig them.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 07 06 12:04
I've got an excess amount of strawberries that I need to eat before they get bad.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Don't let them go bad SD!  Freeze them if you can't eat them all.  It's so sad to see a good bunch of berries go bad.

Post by: kitten on Jul 07 06 12:06
I like canned peaches, but the fresh ones seem to stick and itch my skin like insulation.  I love the taste, I just don't like peeling them.  Nectarines are wonderful and somewhat similar in taste.  I'm not too fond of apples, though.  Those and plums were just about the only fruit available when I was growing up and I got quite sick of them.  Once a year at Xmas I'd get an orange in my stocking, and that was a wonderful treat.

Oh not really. I somehow found the place by doing a google search. Apparently a bike group was going by. You go in there and its the same 5 people you remember from the last time.  They have a huge tractor parade every 4th the Gov was suppose to come down but since he would have been in enemy territory he decided to go somewhere else.

  Cool, so there are the 3 of us (so far) who have b-days on the 18th.  

  There aren't any advantages of having it in the summer that I can think of because whenever my b-day came around, school was right around the corner....  I remember that the rest of August just flew by like that following my b-day.  I wanted summer to last forever back in those days.

I love Wendy's. Use to always eat those triple's until my mom basically said I was playing russian roullet with my family history. (And that was at 16). Haven't had one since. If I go to Wendy's now its a grilled chicken sandwich, diet coke or water and a side salad or chili. Love it that you do not have to eat the fries.

 That is a good way to go. At least when you bring a bag lunch, you can bring a bag of veggies, as much or as little as you want of any type of food. I eat out too much, but do bring my own lunch too most days.

Going for a walk so intend buying at a shop en route and eating as I go along. Cheaper than 'inside', faster service and it adds to the feeling of  serendipitous Gopher in the open air.

Just sardine sandwiches and  couple of plums. Nothing whatsoever left over from yesterday - to be quite honest I got fed up with carrying it around, so after ten minutes into the walk the whole lot was gone. However, I did find a few wild raspberries as well, so was able to up my Vitamin C content along the way.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 15 06 11:42
Having grown up with a lot of sardine sandwiches for lunch, they are the last thing I would consider eating now that I don't have to.  At that time they were something like three or four cans for $.50, so naturally they formed a fair amount of our diet.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Gopher on Jul 15 06 11:46
Funny thing about sardine sandwiches is that they're something I've loved since a child - they're still cheap too which makes them unusual because my taste is usually for anything I can't afford to have every day. Now if I had my way, it would be  huge salmon steaks on a daily basis. Then again, I can think of about another score of items that I 'cant get enough of': pity there's only one stomach!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 15 06 11:50
I think that a medium steak topped with crab meat and Bearnaise sauce, baked potato with all the toppings, and asparagus would be a perfect meal.  But as a child I thought Ketchup sandwiches were a treat.

  Panago has some good salad variety. I like their shrimp salad. Tried Wendy's salad and my blood level went through the roof. They may claim their 'salads' are healthy but trust me, they're not. Loaded with a lotta calories you don't need.

hello dear friends! Wow! what a hot summer for you Seattle and Vancouver folks. It has been hot here too. Also, I was in the North Okanagan for awhile. I believe it was damn close to 40 degrees (C.). not too bad if you are right at a lake though. I think I made a final decision, I am planning on moving to the North Okanagan within a year (or two). I want out of the city life, and just want to be close to our cabin and water..sweet..clean..water..

  I am going for it! I am going to be my own boss. It won't be easy, but I enjoy my work and I know I can kick some a*s on my own. I will keep updates as the year goes by.

I'm so sick of looking after everyone else.  All I want is someone to look after me once in awhile.  Not financially, I don't mean or need that.  I just want a guy that ... gets it.

  My problem lately is that I've cared more than the guys that are just looking for a f*ck buddy and walking away has been very difficult.  I'm still wickedly attracted to one of them, and I have to stay completely away or I'll be getting naked with him and then my feelings will be hurt.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jul 26 06 02:57
I've never been in the situation of having a f*ck buddy or needing one but I know that I would never go to that route because sex, to me, is an extremely personal and spritual thing.  I wouldn't be doing it with someone that I didn't intend to have a long-term relationship with.  Once sex is involved, the relationship goes to a personal level where someone could get hurt.

 Yeah I've known I'm living in the wrong area for what seems to be a century now. Problem is like you said the women who are looking for my guys like me are older.  I think it the world would think it was quiet weird if I was dating someone much older then me.  There are girls and then there are women. My age group is full of girls.

  Lunch today?  To be determined.  I have yet to decide.

  Its been awhile since I had a decent holiday. ok, I went to Trinidad in Februay, but that was a long time ago! This holiday is just kicking back at Kalamalka Lake. Sand castles with my boy, water-skiing, air chairing (is that a word?), couple Coronas, some friends. Hopefully the sun stays out there, although a good soaking of the forests wouldn't hurt anyone.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Some Chick on Jul 28 06 09:56
Oooh.  Kalamalka Lake is gorgeous.  I haven't been there in ages.  I was supposed to be going camping with friends, but I got mixed up on where they were going and thought they were coming down south a bit closer to Van.  Found out they're actually staying up north so it's a bit far for just a weekend.

  I actually won a $2500 travel voucher at work but I gave it to my parents to send them on an Alaskan cruise in Sept.  Next one will be mine.

Geez! I am surprised you never used that voucher to take me somewhere nice and tropical this winter?? kinda confused on that one..oh well, I'll waith till next time you win!

Really PL? Wow. But B.C is a pretty big place so thats not uncommon. For instance I've seen about every state capital east of the mississippi (including D.C) and probly will see Ottawa before I ever set foot in the neanderthal town of Jefferson City, MO. Heck I haven't in even been to the redneck area of the state (Springfield, MO) and that's the beautiful part of the state. But its also where the people come out of the woods.

Well I plan to hit a lot of places when I finally get up near Seattle. I plan on driving my car my car from st. louis to Seattle so I can drive around B.C. during spring break, winter break and summer break. I'm so excited I've planned everything out. I'd drive from my house to my uncles house in Kansas City KS to Cheyenne WY to Boise ID to Tacoma. Stopping to sleep at Cheyenne and Boise.

  Then when I plan to drive around B.C. I want to take the sea to sky highway (I'll do that in the spring) and drive around Vancouver Island making a stop at Victoria to visit the house of commons there (to get use to the place so I now where I'm going when I become an MP in 20 to 30 years) like to visit the beach in Tofino.

  Eventually would like to hike garibaldi provincial park trails.

  Salmon, tuna, jumbo shrimp, mussels, big salad bar, roast potatoes, canelloni (sp) roast chicken, vichyssoise and... chocolate cake.  My coworkers had three plates each, I polished off two plus cake.

Sorry, I had a long day yesterday but I did eat way too much for breakfast that day I think it had to do with the fact that I worked out the night before by biking 12 miles on a machine burning 600 cals and running for 2.5 miles and burning 200 cals. Thats 800 calories gone, body was hungry.

So I ate

4 bowls of cheerios

4 pieces of toast with cheese on it

3 glasses of orange juice

4 more pieces of cheese

2 Hard boiled eggs

  Just typing what I ate is making me sick. Yikes I ate too much yesterday. Then went the entire day without eating.

SD was just hungry.

Happend again for lunch today went to a mexican restuarant that has a lunch buffet. Mexican food + buffet = over eating in SD's world.  And what do you know, I had one to many beef nachos.  When I'm hungry I can make a normal person sick with all the food I eat. But the funny thing is I don't get that urge anymore. (used to get it when I was growing). Now I barely eat, except on rare occasions.

I am starving. Today is terriyaki chicken day in the cafeteria. They do a good job but I've had it so much that it's a bit Meh at this point.

I think they banned me at DV, and by "they" I of course mean Academe. Unless Mike was actually online and read what I posted about him!!    :O

  You actually got banned from DV?!?!?!?! WTH is the world coming too? What a stupid move..... ah well, it's DV's lost.

  I do agree this thread needs a bit more sauce. The spicier the better.

  'Nuff said.

  As far as DV goes, I am not 100% sure they banned me but I was unable to post last night over a period of a couple hours. I haven't posted any porn, gore or bigoted stuffs, so if they banned me it must have been for criticizing Mike and his merry men. I'll check in a bit and see whether I can post from work.

  Your Lunch sounds amazing!! But did you say soy chicken?

  Don't feel bad about obsessively organizing your pics into folders so they are easier to find and upload. I know someone else who does the same thing    ;)

    That's a stupid reason to have you ban though. I mean, C'MON!!!! You gotta cross the line when you write porn or whatever. Simply making a comment on how Mike runs his forum is no reason to have you ban. Insanity!!!!!

  Get Orca to look into this mess on your behalf if you can't get in again. Then again if you can't get back to DV, no problems. It's a disgusting black hole and it's probably better if you're not sucked into there.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 09 06 02:21
Yes I did actually.

Boonies is southern Missouri. Went to the Ozarks.

It was more like driving through rural mississippi at first, you know burned out trailer homes, rusted out cars etc. Then I went to this restuarant and they had an entire wall 50 or so pictures dedicated to 9/11. Except all the photos showed the planes hitting the buildings and the explosions. And in the middle of it was a picture of Bush and a Flag. Its fine to have a picture of never forget or whatever but this was in extremely bad taste. Especially for a person like me who knew people who died that day. And this is coming from people who probly have never left southern missouri. It was very disturbing and sick.

Yup. Girls. Can't wait to reach the promised land in Seattle because the place I'm heading (hopefully) is about 70% Female and 30% Male. Its so lopsided they have an entire dorm building filled with girls.

 And when I get there about the only thing I'll bring with me is my ipod, computer and car. Can't live without my car I'd feel stuck. (I like to explore) and public transportation is pretty much non existent in the Seattle area. University life is for me.  They want me too, badly. Now I've got to just get there.

Post by: CK on Aug 23 06 07:49
haha! Its not too bad my friend!

Bad rep, yes. But really, you have to check it out for yourself. Check out reggaefest in Calgary. [A href="http://www.calgaryreggaefestival.com/"]http://www.calgaryreggaefestival.com/[/A]

or the Folk fest in Edmonton.

[A href="http://www.edmontonfolkfest.org/"]http://www.edmontonfolkfest.org/[/A]

There are some excellent people here too. I find generally, Alberta is full of regular Canadians that are from coast to coast originally that are just looking and finding opportunity.

  Scares me, the way housing has soared! Glad I bought a house a few years ago. But a boom does produce a negative side effect.

  As for the oil agenda, I guess I am just as guilty, I drive too.

Alberta has come a long way, [A href="http://www.energysolutionsalberta.com/default.asp?V_DOC_ID=1099"]http://www.energysolutionsalberta.com/default.asp?V_DOC_ID=1099[/A]

  most of the energy used to move Calgary's trains are from wind power too. There is still a long ways to come, don't get me wrong. But its not as bad as my former townsfolks think it is.

  One thing about Calgary, it is pretty clean. It is a city that is proud to be Canadian. I have made many friends of different faces and different races right here. Huge Lebanese community here too, damn! They make the best desserts!

So is Calgary the new Centre of the Universe with it passing the 1 million mark?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Aug 23 06 07:56
haha! not even close. The thing with Calgary as opposed to other cities, the burbs in Calgary, are in Calgary city limits. Whereas Vancouver may only have a half a million people, but well over 2 million including the metro area. (Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond). Calgary is just Calgary, divided into 4 quadrants and a downtown.  So a million may sound like a lot, but it is just another city when comparing to other cities. Toronto will always be the centre of the uni! haha! (Now Torontonians, I love you too!).

Post by: CK on Aug 24 06 07:54
Thanks PC! Just watching the BC news the other night (via satelite), and they were talking about Vancouver Island and the economic revival. Not sure if it is mostly hype. But I know of 2 engineers that just left our firm to go to Nanaimo and Victoria. I think it is great since a few years ago, it was some dark times out there with the forestry and everything.

Hope all is well with you and your hubby (lucky bugger...)...
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Aug 24 06 08:11
HI CK !!!!!!!

  All is well on the Island. (I didn't know we were in a slump...lol)  I know the unemployment rate is almost nil.  Places are screaming for workers.  Murchies in Victoria, which has been an icon for decades actually ran an ad looking for employees......the first time in their history that they've needed to do so.  Hubby says when they place an ad, the stack of resumes that come in are an inch thick and require a good deal of time to wade through.  NOW, the stack that comes in is a quarter inch.  

Where I am working, the turnover is monthly....employees simply move on at the slightest hint of a problem, as there is no fear...... they will snag another job within the week.  Contractors are getting creative with their ads....showing women in hardhats, beckoning them to 'Try Something New....We'll train while you are making good money'.

  You sound like you are making the best of your summer by doing the things that make you happy.  SO good to hear.We should all take a page from your book and make sure to enjoy the sunny days and warm nights.  Winter will be upon us too quickly.    How is CK Jr. ?  Will he be starting school this September??? (I have a bad memory...lol)

  Been busy at work and at home.  We are buliding a new workshop.....(hubby says the old one is too small....lol.  Any excuse for a project)      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Aug 24 06 08:18
I guess it was mostly just forestry in a slump (around 98-2000). That is awesome. Alberta is feeling the pinch. It is hard to find people here, especially when BC and Saskatchewan's economies are doing well too. jobs Everywhere! I just hope the Island doesn't boom too much, it is too beautiful!!

  CK jr. will start school next year. He is doing amazing. Plays so well with other kids. Still with my honey, she has the same address as mine now..Cool!!


Yes, summer is ending, the fun times don't end with it though. Every season brings adventure and laughter (and sometimes, tears).
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Aug 24 06 08:30
Oh CK.....what wonderful news.....still with your sweetie !!!!!  Sounds like life is looking up for you.

  Of course CK Jr is doing well and plays well with others.  That stuff comes from what they see at home.  Good job CK !!!!!

  I hope it doesn't 'boom' to hard here also.  Sometimes I wish they'd put a gate up.  The population since 86 has at the very least quadrupled.  When I first moved here, the drive from my house to Nanaimo was about 45 minutes, with only one traffic light.  Now there are dozens. *cry*
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Aug 24 06 08:42
Same with places like Maple Ridge. I went back there to visit some cousins and WOW! within a couple years, its like its own city. There used to be green space everywhere, now, Yikes! Still very nice though.  

I know in Tofino, the locals are very much on edge. They don't mind the tourists and surfers, but as far as development goes, it is scaring the bajeebees out of them. They really should try to stop it, its not Alberta flat land, it is prime rain forest! But when I say they should stop development, I am all of a sudden a commi pig!! Just concerned for the environment, and the rain forest! and my buddy PC's back yard!!

Well if sprawl ever gets out of hand like it has where I live you could basically kiss the lower mainland goodbye. But, one thing that Vancouver has helping it instead of like Calgary is that its surrounded by mountains.

When I think of Calgary I see a lot of Denver in it for some reasons.

Another thing helping stop Vancouver is that there is only one highway in the area Trans Can. See I've got

I-55 to the south

I-70 to west

I-44 to the southwest

plus loop highways that connect the main highways in highway 370, I-270, I-170 and I-255.

  I don't know about you but I believe that more highways promotes urban sprawl. When the counties next to me have 100,000 people plus and 10 years ago they had 5,000 people total. You began to wonder if Eisenhowers idea of interstates was a bad idea.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Aug 24 06 09:03
Yes, Alberta towns are sprawled. Mind you, the downtown of Calgary is enjoying its own revival too, so it is not being abandoned like some cities. Condos and inner city living has become very popular over the last few years.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 24 06 09:07
Well one thing Vancouver has is its willingness to live in high rise condos and apartments. The bad thing it has to watch out for is too many high rise residentials and not enough businesses. Then they would be living in the cities and going to work in the suburbs.

Tried some pics of the bar, but camera is misbehaving.  I'm charging the batteries right now, even though I don't think the batteries are the problem.  I'll give it another try in a couple hours.

  Well, back to work.  I have to sink the final post before I can put up the panel, and that's the tiring part.

May I ask a very personal question? When you're drooling (or dribbling OR salivating) do you wear a bib?

A deaf friend of mine had never heard the word minestrone, and always used to read it aloud as mine-strewn ( I always imagined little mines floating in the dish).    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Sep 03 06 11:34
No, but I always have a box of tissues handy for these occasions.  I love your mental picture of minestrone.  That would add spice to the dish!

  Good liver is terrific, sometimes though you can get some that has a bitter taste thus, if you don't like it the first time you try it, try it again (it's cheap and very nutritious, too).

Bangers and Mash sounds 'jolly good' *chortle chortle*.  

  I'm not frustrated at all.  Just annoyed at my stupidity.  The tiles I bought yesterday, are 9 by 12 and the tiles that are presently on the hearth are 12 by 12.  Of course I knew the difference, and thought I calculated accordingly.....but.....well........

 Unfortunately no. Finding employees these days is proving rather difficult. Even, if we offer whatever someone wants. Calgary has gone out of control.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Sep 15 06 01:07
I had heard that it is almost impossible to find experienced workers there.  I guess that means extra work for the remaining employees, right?

  I think a chortle is a happy chuckle with hints of triumph in it.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Sep 15 06 01:15
I like that then, chortle it is then.

  Yes, Calgary and Alberta are supposed to be shorthanded over 100,000 people in the next couple years. The schools are jammed packed, the waiting lists are out of this world to get in, university or college, the baby boomers are starting to say "ciao".  BC and Saskatchewan are doing good too these days, so skilled people are a scarce thing. Heck, even people right out of school seems to be a scarce thing.

Oh well, I am just enjoying this crazy thing called life.

What about searching in the "have-not" provinces?  There are so many people searching for work in the Maritimes and Newfoundland that canvassing the universities might help, or is that already being done?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Sep 15 06 01:25
Not really sure about the maritimes. It seems that if you have a skill or trade, you can move almost anywhere these days. The ones that have made up their minds to move west, seem to pack their bags pretty quickly.

Lamb, carrots, runner beans, peas, marrow, stuffing, roast potatoes and gravy (and mint sauce). And afterwards a dish of stewed apples.

You must be an amazing cook!  I find when cooking for one I lack inspiration.  After all, I smell it while it's cooking, and by the time it's done my appetite has diminished, but I still have the clean-up.  What I need is a loyal servant to take care of these details for me.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Gopher on Sep 17 06 11:54
By no means amazing - you'll have to come over and see! However as I have taken today off I decided to treat myself to something a bit more special than usual. By the way, do you also use mint sauce - I find it even better on roast potatoes than its traditional use as an accompaniment for lamb.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Sep 17 06 11:58
I never cook lamb, but I wonder if it would go well with pork or even turkey.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Gopher on Sep 17 06 12:00
As far as I'm concerned it goes well with everything, but especially roast or boiled potatoes. It's easy to make too, just chop up the mint and add sugar and vinegar.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Do you whip it together to homogenize it, or is it a thin sauce with the leaves visible in it?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Gopher on Sep 17 06 12:07
I've just looked up a recipe for it and it tells me that after all these years I should have been using hot water!! You chop up the leaves very very finely and let them float (but if they are OBVIOUSLY floating, then you're not using enough mint). The more mint you put in it, the better.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Sep 17 06 12:11
I had assumed you were using hot water to draw out the most flavour from the mint.  Sounds sort of chewy to me, but I guess it's supposed to, right?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 20 06 09:29
I hate Subway to be honest. Much prefer Quiznoes. For some reason, their sandwiches taste better.

  Calorie-wise... Subway isn't that much healthier either, the same goes with Quiznoes. Their so-called whole wheat bread hasn't much fibre, it's actually loaded with honey and the more dressings or condiments you put on your sandwiches, the more calories you pile on.

  JARAD (was that his name?) was wrong. You can't loose weight just eating Subway.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 20 06 09:43
I've been to Quiznos a few times, $$$ compared to Subway.

And I don't know about not being healthy Lise because the American Heart Association promotes Subway. And the only other food they sponsor is Cherios I think.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 20 06 12:06
IMO, the American Heart will promote Subway because well, at least they've got some meat and veggies.  They have to have more variety of places to dine out because so many Americans eat out than eating in.  And the whole "Subway: Eat Fresh" gimmick is so off and inaccurate.  I am very certain that their food isn't as fresh as you think it is.  I know this because I knew someone who worked there but recently quit.  

  I can see how that Jared guy lost weight if all he ate were Subway sandwiches.  But look at the protien content.  There really isn't much protien in the very little meat/slices that you get in your sandwich.  I say that it was Subway's great marketing scheme to promote this "eat fresh" line.  

  P.S.  Jared would've lost weight quicker if he ate at the Salad Loop.  Now, that's fresh and healthy.

 Exactly, purelife. If Jared lost all his so-called weight from just eating Subway, it won't be because of the 'low' calorie content, it'll be from the nauseating taste. Can you imagine eating that crap all the time? Plus as you pointed out, there isn't much protein there to make it even worth your daily intake of meat.

 Best seafood I ever had come from Australia. Nothing beats the seafood there. It's unfortunate that Vancouver doesn't have some of the freshest seafood available. The salmon here is not too bad but nothing beats Australia. Ah well, beggars can't be choosers.

The Maritimes are famous for their lobster, which is shipped around the world.  Also I've heard the Digby scallops from Nova Scotia have no comparison.  I wouldn't know since I don't eat scallops, but I can vouch for the lobster.  Something about the mineral content of the water that creates a special flavour.

  It's not just about being surrounded by ocean.  It's about the tempurature of the seas, that make good seafood.  The Maritimes ARE and SHOULD be famous for their seafood, because the temperature of their waters make it so.  I'd have to agree with you, Kitten......Maritimes lobster would make Australia drool......no comparison for sure.

Yes, it is the cold water of the Atlantic that makes the seafood there the best.  Have you ever compared lobster from the south to that of the north.  The southern 'lobster' which is crayfish, I believe, has no taste.  The colder the water, the better the fish, or lobster in this case.  Digby scallops are very large and apparently are the best, too.  I don't like scallops so can't compare but others tell me they are the best.  By the way, how do you pronounce 'scallop'?  I say scawlop not scaalip.  Same with 'awnt' and not 'ant' for aunt.  Yes, I grew up in the Maritimes.  In case you couldn't tell.

It used to be a lot worse when I was growing up, because there was a paper mill in town owned by the Irving family that belched clouds of sulphurous smoke into the air.  You put a cloth over your mouth and nose to walk up to the corner store and back, and it was bright yellow by the time you got home.  And yes, the wet cold is a killer.

Kitten, we have something in common then.  I grew up on the Kennebecasis River, farther away from the mill but on some of those foggy nights you could smell it.  Oh, I am not embarrassed by where I grew up, just don't like the city.  A lot of people call it "The Surf" but I never did know why.  There are many beautiful places outside the city center. But the architecture and the gargoyle thingys on the buildings in the downtown, if one is interested, is remarkable. The Maritime provinces are well worth the visit.   Especially in the summer.  PEI's beaches are spectacular, for example.

HI CK !!!!![img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/a010.gif" border=0]

How are you ?????

I've been wondering and wondering how your paint looked the next day.

  I have a day off, so I'll be back to doing a little painting myself.  The soffeting (sp?) and facia boards are all ready for some colour.

Hi P.C.!(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/3.gif)

Painting didn't look great when I got up. I sanded (lightly) some of the heavy spots and tried to even it out, put on a 4th coat and OMG! It turned out awesome. I was soo happy on Sunday when it finally looked good. I put away all my paint stuff and I am not going near that again for a long time!

Wow......4 coats.  Is the room smaller now???   (lol)   That's an awful lot of work. (that's an awful lot of paint).  Well I'm glad it finally looks the way you wanted it to, CK.  Did your sweetie like it ?

  Weekend coming up......any exciting plans ????  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Sep 29 06 08:18
yes, 4 coats was a lot, but happy with the outcome. She LOVED it!  

I don't think it is smaller, but very comfortable.

  This weekend, I think we are just realxing at home. Maybe take my boy to a park and boot around the soccer ball Saturday, its still like summer here. +23, 24 ish.  Maybe some movies, nice supper? Nothing set in stone.

  You?

  How about lunch today? cheese and ham bagel.

okay. Last test I took I swore I failed an I got a B. Highest I ever got on a foreign language test. Now stupid me, I'm listening to Habs games on the french radio channel. ugh. If only it was spanish. Why can't Univision people talk SLOW!! Argh! Whenever I listen to something in french I can get a general idea because they talk slower. If I watch a spanish film from Spain I can understand because they talk slower. But when its god damn univision I'm lost!

You can understand French?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Oct 02 06 09:32
I can understand Spanish I've taken it before. I can understand French I've taken it before. Not a good reader of the languages, can't form sentences. But give me verbal directions or something in both of the languages and I can get a picture.

Listening to sports on the radio in a different language is easy. The names don't change so when they say a different name that means the ball or puck is in there possession. Then you pick up other words that they say over again. Like penalty and stuff. And when they score the french announcers have an orgasm and start screaming like little girls. Which is hysterical.

Most likely Wednesday. I had a Eureka! moment but when that usually happens on a language test I fail miserably. On one of the questions for example I think I wrote: "I will not be talking during the weekend" LOL!!!

  I thought I remembered everything before I left but while I was going 140kph on the highway I must have forgotten a few things. Shouldn't rush, rushing is bad, very bad, geesh I was weaving in and out of traffic. I've never done that before. Bad, bad, bad. Oh well I wasn't the only one going super fast. Some idiot in an Acura was going 170kph. So I basically followed him.

LOL. I've gone faster my car goes up to 177kph but I've only hit that on a empty straight flat highway. This guy was going that fast in the middle of rush hour weaving in and out of traffic.

  Although I think the fastest I ever got to a place was when I was late for pregame warm ups for my football game 50km's away. I got there in 10 minutes. lol! I don't drive like that anymore too childish and dumb.

  I also had this 'feast' which consists of seven (??) different way of serving beef. That was the one time and one time only.

  Regardless, Vietnamese cuisine is top!!

Um...Z effects is some sort of radio game show where you hear a sound effect and have to determine its origin (I think). So if you don't listen to that radio station the thread will not make a lot of sense. Seeing how folks keep bitching about the thread and trying to sabotage it makes me think of Lunch though     :)

That Z effect thread is certainly long! Reminded me of the good old days from Lunch and GBA's threads.

  What's up with the Sh....ty Pork stuff on the thread? Pretty darn impressive screwing around with that stuff. Wonder who's responsible? EED?

  Oh BTW, lemongrass chicken is dicey stuff, kingy. You need to "bruise" the lemongrass in order to get out the flavor. Some parts can't be eaten, need to be taken out after the flavor has been imparted to the dish otherwise it'll end up bitter as hell.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Oct 05 06 07:09
I know it must be hard, Lise  I can't imagine how you manage to do it.  But NO COFFEE!!  Why?  You had gestational diabetes, didn't you?  But I thought it would be over once you gave birth, or are you breastfeeding?

  My surgery went fine and I still can't believe I'm reading without glasses.  I only need them for small print.  I'm back at work, and working morning and lunch shifts, so it's really great.  I don't miss the supper shift at all.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Oct 05 06 07:15
I know. Coffee and no sleep. The other day, I drank half a cup of Tim Horton's steeped tea and she wouldn't sleep for hours. Drove me bananas. So no coffee or tea for me.

  Gestational diabetes... yep, over for now. I haven't checked. Dare not as I need as much calories as I can to produce milk. Thank goodness my figure is not as affected. Almost down to my normal weight.

  Ah kitten, am so glad to hear that your surgery and everything went well. Must be quite something to be able to read without glasses.  *hugs to kitten*
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Oct 05 06 07:25
I think you should be fine concerning the diabetes.  I knew a couple of other women who had it, and they said it went away after they gave birth.  It would be a good idea to have it tested for your own peace of mind though.

  I see why you have to avoid all stimulants!  Not having coffee would drive me nuts!  Maybe if you drank some Nyquil?    LOL

  Hugs to you too, and extra hugs for the kids.

But some hints of mine.

I always use sesame oil.

slightly cook the meat first before adding veggies.

there are a million different sauces you can buy or create.

garlic, ginger = yummm!

brown rice always a good companion.

cook at medium to medium low heat. too much can burn down home.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Oct 06 06 08:23
Sorry about the meeting   :(

Thanks for the wok advice! Keep it coming 'cause I'm a menace in the kitchen.
I made another attempt last night. It was an asparagus and water cress stir fry.
I'm not used to my new electric range (plus I'm a retard) so I turned on the front burner thinking it was the rear burner and then set my wok on the rear one. I added the vegies and was happily stir-frying until I realized the wok was cold. I also realized that if I'd put my paw down on the hot front eye of the stove I would have ended up with a nice souvenir.

What a world...

I always use peanut oil to stir fry.  Your wok should be quite hot to start.....even before you add your oil.  Peanut oil has a very high smoking point.....other oils will 'scorch' and smoke before your wok is ready to cook.  Adding your oil to the pan before bringing it up to temp, promotes food sticking to the wok.  

  If doing meat, add your garlic just before meat is done as it burns quickly and gets that bitter burnt garlic taste. Your garlic will remain 'purer' tasting. The hotter your wok when you start, the less oil will be absorbed into your food.

  Always keep it moving.....if it is cooking a little TOO quickly, just pick it up off the heat and tip food up the sides and again.....keep it moving.

All this talk about cooking with a wok is making me hungry.

  BTW, here's another tip for the wok - don't put garlic in first. You're more likely to burn it. Put everything else in first like ginger, onions... then garlic. Make sure there's a buffer between garlic and the wok.

  Another great thing about the wok is that you can double it as a steamer. You can buy this metal tray from Chinatown, fill the wok with water, put a bowl with whatever you need to steam and close the lid. Minutes later, you've got a great steamed dish. Excellent for steaming dim sum too.

SD, am shocked! You've NEVER had tofu before? Well, it's supposed to be healthy for you but for me, it's too bland and rubbery. I just don't like the stuff. Here's a list of definitions:   Definitions of Tofu on the Web:

 [UL type=disc][FONT size=-1] [LI]A cake made of bean curd, which is made from the milky liquid extracted from soybeans. Often used as a meat substitute in vegetarian dishes.
[A href="http://www.google.ca/url?sa=X&amp;start=0&amp;oi=define&amp;q=http://www.tyson.com/UserControls/ViewTerms.aspx%3Fl%3DT&amp;sig=__dGPZtMNXkgEP8F8OSuZjB0_qjtM="][FONT color=#008000]www.tyson.com/UserControls/ViewTerms.aspx[/FONT][/A][/FONT]  

[FONT size=-1] [LI]Tofu is a soft cheese-like food made by curdling soya milk with a coagulant. Tofu is a rather bland tasting product that easily absorbs the flavours of the other ingredients. Tofu is sold in water-filled packs or in aseptic cartons. It can be found in supermarkets and natural health food stores.
[A href="http://www.google.ca/url?sa=X&amp;start=1&amp;oi=define&amp;q=http://www.soya.be/soy-glossary.php&amp;sig=__g3zjRqWZ92NTSwYLSDyTtjlncNo="][FONT color=#008000]www.soya.be/soy-glossary.php[/FONT][/A][/FONT]  

[FONT size=-1] [LI]tofu on bamboo skewers The tofu is lightly roasted and topped with a thick miso paste.

   Hey SD,

  Sorry, I had to leave without saying goodbye. Duty calls.

  I'm thinking of getting a crock pot... I really should. I've heard nothing but good things about it. I'm just a bit worried about leaving something like that alone while I'm off to work. Maybe I'll just get one and try it out anyways since I'm at home.

Crock pot meat has a tendancy to be a little slimy in texture if you don't brown it in a frying pan first.  That's what gives it flavour.

  I always dredge, season and brown it before I freeze it in meal size portions.  I deglaze the pan with a little wine or broth, and dump that in the freezer bag as well.  (Makes richer gravy too).  That way, starting from frozen, it can sit in the crockpot for a few hours thawing, before the timer starts.  It's safer than having thawed meat sitting at room temp for 3 or 4 hours.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Oct 07 06 06:04
To coat in flour.  Sorry Lise.

   I usually do that to a meat I want a gravy or sauce from, (like beef short ribs).  It helps to brown the meat and seal in the juices at the same time.  I usually put a couple of BIG tablespoons of flour, seasonings and a bit of chopped parsley (or whatever you fancy) in a plastic bag....scrooch up the top of the bag (like a balloon)....shake up the 'mix'.....add the meat, and do the same thing again.  Slick, simple and yummy.

Interesting. I have never attempted that before but I'll certainly bear that in mind when I get my crock pot. Was just browsing thru Sears today, saw one I liked so I'm gonna go back and get one.

  Thanks for the tip, PC.

You're VERY welcome Lise.  I remember using mine much more when my kids were little, because you couldn't always pick and choose when, or how much time you were going to have to prepare dinner.  It allowed you to use the time when baby was napping to get something happening.  They're not the answer to fine dining for sure, but they certainly serve a purpose now and then.

The only problem I ever had with a crockpot was with the veggies getting too soft if I cooked a full meal in one.  For meat alone they were wonderful.  My favourite was Swiss steak.  I'd serve it with salad and a baked potato.

No crockpot veggies for me.  YUCK.  Veggie dishes take only moments, one can always find time for that.

Slow-cooked ribs are good.  The meat falls off the bones by the end of the day.  Cooked in a barbeque sauce they are delicious.  (Home-made, of course!)

We found a crock pot cook book. Some 3,000 recipes. Slow cooking bbq chicken or chicken in general. It comes out like my grandma's hungarian chicken, falls right off the bone. yum yum.

No veggies in the crock pot? Can I use potatoes instead?

I like veggies in crock pot. Potatoes work great. All veggies in crock pot come out sauteed. Which I always liked.

I always found the veggies turned out overcooked and sometimes even mushy.  I prefer veggies slightly firm and crunchy.

Thanks SD.

  Just looked at my crock pot recipe sheet that came with the pot. Looks like a lotta carrots, potatoes, celery.... tough veggies to begin with. I might try the chicken in mushroom gravy. Looks interesting.

 Crock pot cooking is great for your young ones.  The food gets really mushy and all the natural flavors are kept inside.  I used to make beef stews and chicken soups in them.

Do you have a pressure cooker Lise?  That was an awesome investment.

dol sot bibimbap.

 
 I always seem to like that word "bibimbop"  Yummy dish indeed.  I like it too.

 

 Lise, it took me a while to adjust to a steamer because those damn pots are very very powerful.  One time, I didn't release pressure and/or wait for a few minutes, and attempted to open the lid.  OMG!  My soup was pouring out and I had to quickly put the whole pot into the sink.  NOT FUN.  But, I learned how to use it and know what not to do.  Once you get a hang of it, you'll never let go of your pressure cooker.  It saves time and time, I needed.

 I also brought a two-tier steamer once.  That was a bad investment.  Only used that a few times and now it's just collecting dust along with my crock pot.

Its going to be 0 C tonight.

And even better I'm working so I get to feel bone chilling cold in my face since I work with all my windows down at night. Worked once on a night it was -20 C outside. That wasn't the greatest but it wasn't too bad. Just a little uncomfortable but I didn't freeze.

There are SO many ways to stay in shape, without spending big bucks and taking up valuable living space.

There's only one thing I would suggest before purchasing any workout equipment.

  Go to 30 garage sales......and I'd put money on it, that 29 of them have some form of equipment.

My point being....not to purchase this stuff at a garage sale, but to think about why so many people dump this stuff.

Yeah, that's what I thought about these machines at garage sales. I shoulda pushed him into going to garage sales as I'm sure tons of ppl put these suckers out.

  Walking would have been nice but with the weather getting cold and getting darker earlier, it's hard to do it right now.

What machine are you thinking of getting Lise?  A bicycle?  Treadmill?
 
 My mom got a bike years ago with the intention of "losing" weight.  She rode on it in the beginning for a few times and then, she lost motivation.  Now, it's just collecting dust.  What a waste of 200 and some dollars.    
 
 If I ever had the money and space, I would probably buy a high-powered treadmill, some weights and a bench.  So much can be done with weights and a skipping rope.  
 
 I'm sure you guys'll find something suitable.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Oct 14 06 06:59
That's similar to how I'm thinking about that stuff, purelife.  I had a very expensive treadmill.....and I actually used it.  I just got sick of looking at it, sucking up space (rather unattractively, I might add) in whatever room I put it in.  Garage sale.....byebye.

  Now I have a Tai-Bo DVD and some little quilted contraptions I made to hold some large cans of juice for weights and I have stairs and a great stereo (I love to dance....and if you 'give er' it's a good workout)...lol.  No space issue for my 'equipment'.

  I'm active enough with splitting wood and maintaining the property, that the TaiBo DVD is gathering dust....but at least it doesn't take up valuable space, and it isn't an eyesore.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Oct 14 06 07:11
Oh TaiBo!  Cool, PC.  I haven't tried that yet, perhaps one day.  Yup, there sure is so much you could do with what you already have.  
 
 Yeah, treadmill does take up so MUCH room.  You kinda almost have to dedicate a den or bedroom just for fitness.

   I made a workout room in my basement. I have a stationary bike and a row machine for cardio. rowing is amazing for upper body. I have a complete set of free weights and a bench. Nothing fancy, but it does the trick. I just need music. I wired speakers downstairs from the main level and I crank it!

  But yeah, I know what you're talking about though, SD. Need entertainment to work out. It's so boring working out. I tried working out at the gym and got fed up. Took up hiking which was wonderful. Problem is the weather here. When it turns cold, can't go hiking and now with two kids, it's even harder. *sigh*

  One day I like to return to hiking, hopefully with the kids so they can appreciate the wonders of BC nature.

  Lunch today is a big question mark. Don't know. I might purchase a roast chicken from Superstore and do some mashed potatoes and boiled veggies.

Oh when your kids get older you can go on camping trips again. The only thing I missed about boy scouts was the camping every month. Granted we went to the same place every month and that became quite boring but still nothing beats camping in zero degree weather in january. lol!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Oct 16 06 11:04
No way I'm doing camping, SD. I like the creature comfort of four walls and a roof top, not to mention flusable toilets.

  Hiking one day is enough. I can't even go into the bushes for crying out loud unless the force is really great and I have no choice. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/13.gif)

Hi Lise! *Hugs*

  I love camping. But camping better involve a beautiful lake at my tent opening.

  Hey, back to the cardio thing. Another thing that passes the cardio workout quickly for me is reading. I find just a few pages and time flies.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Oct 16 06 11:15
Oh yeah, I forgot how much you love camping there, CK. I'm just scared about the flies and the bears. Gawd.....

  I tried reading and doing my workout too. Still boring.

  Oh here's another question, why is it that when one works out at the gym, you get stares from guys? It's so creepy and uncomfortable. If there are no girls there, the guys look into the mirror ALL the time. Ugh.

 LOL Lise.  Yeah, that's the problem when you're at a busy gym.  I used to go to the local Recreation Centre's gym but was lucky that nobody bothered me.  I was always left alone and the guys there were nice and shared the equipment with me.  Now, the gym I'm at is in my office building where it is more quiet and no guys stare at you like they're hunting for flesh or something.  Gawd, I would feel uncomfortable.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Oct 16 06 11:23
Have you been to the Bonsor workout gym? Now that's really uncomfortable, purelife. Been there once and NEVER again. Too many guys are either in love with watching the girl work out or with their muscles.

  The cardio workout room in Bonsor looks nice though. I haven't step in that place but it looks really good. No more guys staring there, I think.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Oct 16 06 11:24
I haven't been there before.  I can imagine that at Bonsor.  I can't blame the guys for looking.  Gosh, some girls on the elipticals and treadmills just have such toned asses!  Oh, beautiful!  LOL

Hi purelife!

  Hey Lise, camping isn't too bad. If you are tenting with friends, make sure to drip some steak sauce on their tents before bed. The bears will eat them first, maybe you will have time to get away. Mind you, I hear a bear will just rip out their stomachs, maiming them enough so they can't get away, then come and eat you, go back to the maimed food (people) later. Wanna go camping with me? (hehee).

  I am not sure about the gym and people in them, I haven't been in a public gym since I went to uni.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Oct 16 06 12:21
LOL, I admit I end up staring at females mainly because I'm bored. lol. One time I was lifting 400lbs and I didn't set the machine back to zero when a girl worked on the machine after me. lol

But mainly I work out during the dead of night and I look around to see if anyone is there. The sit up machines are located at the windows and a bunch of teens eating ice cream were watching and laughing at me. idiots.

I saw ads advertising $3.99 for chili and garlic bread at Timmies.  It's an attractive price.  Now that you've said it's okay, I'll try it today for dinner.  I've had Wendy's, and it's not that bad actually.  I've heard terrible things about what they do to the ground beef in Wendy's chilli.  Oh well.

ok, off topic here,

There has been some guy puking in our washroom here at work for a month and a half. He doesn't just get sick, he pukes all over the toilet seats, walls, floors, sinks. I just heard from the senior manager, they are hiring a bathroom spy. Someone that will go into the can after someone goes in and comes out, to monitor the mess situation.

My question is, we can't find engineers, admin. people, draftspeople, technologist, etc..but we can find a guy to do this job? Now I am curious, who is doing this? Crazy world!

Wow, interesting.  So, some guy at your office is purposely puking all over the men's washroom for fun?  Oh, GROSS!

  Speaking of washrooms, and this is off topic from what CK was talking about (hee hee), but I knew a company where somebody or maybe a group, planted a hidden camera in the women's washroom.  One day, a girl looked up, saw a hole in the wall and peeked and saw the camera!  The police/investigators came over and traced the cords to a room where a recording machine was set up.  They couldn't catch the guy.  Apparently, the video was connected to the internet for a live feed.  I was freaked to hear it, that it happened at such a large company in Vancouver.

I had thai food and it was amazing.
Chicken pan fried noodles with garlic. And to drink some scrummy thai iced tea.
I love this thai restaurant. It has orange walls. That should be garish and annoying but somehow isn't.

Wow. I go away for one day and I missed out on all the fun. Must have been a busy lunch date.

  purelife - it's really easy to make congee in a crock pot but easier if you have one of those fancy rice cooker that cooks the stuff. What I do is to add 1 cup of rice to about four cups of water. Toss in ginger and leave on slow overnight.  Then 1 hour before you start eating, throw in fish (or whatever you want) and scallops (I use the rehydrated dried scallops) and set crock pot to high.

  Garnish with cilantro and scallions. Pepper to taste. I also add a dash of sesame oil. We bought chinese donuts from the store and cut them into pieces to add to the congee for some authentic taste. Delicious.

  And oh, speaking of puking... I almost puked the other day when I was eating at the Metrotwon McDonalds. Disgusting place! I couldn't believe the floor stank of poo..... and my husband told me the delightful story of just exiting their toilet. Apparently someone had smeared poo all over the walls. Great.....NOT.

Your congee recipe sounds yummy.  It sounds about like how my mom makes hers but I didn't know about the cooking the rice with the ginger for a long time.  Good idea.  Do you use white rice or brown?  I've always had congee with white rice but know that white rice is bad for you.  So, I wonder how it'll taste like with brown.  

Thanks Lise.  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/11.gif)

No probs, purelife. My mother's brilliant when she makes congee. She adds the ginger in order to give it a bit of a flavor. I had no idea you could make congee in a crock pot but thanks to my mom, I get to do this very simple dish when it gets cold in winter.

The other day, I was at a friend's house and his mom made this meatleaf and sauce for tortellini and OMG, YUMMY!  

Whenever I want homemade food, I head to my mom's because I just don't have the time to cook at home with this second job and errands in the evening when I'm not working.

  SD - congee is soooooooooooooooo good but bad if you're diabetic. If you've never tried it before, I highly recommend it especially on cold days.

   Rice congee is a type of [A title=Rice href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice"]rice[/A] [A title=Porridge href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porridge"]porridge[/A] that is eaten in many [A title=Asia href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia"]Asian[/A] countries. The word congee derives from the [A title="Tamil language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_language"]Tamil[/A] word kanji.

 Congee can be made in a pot, or in a [A title="Rice cooker" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_cooker"]rice cooker[/A]. Some rice cookers even have a "congee" setting, allowing the user to cook their breakfast congee overnight

I alwayts think that the shock that death brings is in many ways worse than the initial sadness. I lost 3 close friends in a peripod of 12 days last month, found myself pretty philosophiocal about the deaths but the impact of  having three in a row was something else. No matter how expected a death (or 3) may be, there's still a feeling of shock when it happens.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I bet. I lost a relative to a stroke. Healthy one night, gone the next morning. Also seen a friend's dad suffer a slow painful death due to cancer. Crazy, either way, whether you know its going to happen or not, the shock is the same.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

really? Nasty? Its not even the second week in the season and they're getting nasty? Sheesh they need to cool it. Only thing the team needs to stop doing is taking penalties. Penalties, penalties. Its like the flu bug. I was shocked when they went the whole 2nd period without one when they practically played the 1st period a man down because one of the Sedin twins or Naslund were always in the box for hooking. lol.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Oct 20 06 09:50
That is why the papers are on their case.  Too many stupid penalties, and that gives too many chances to the opposing team.  I don't know what is wrong with the coach that he isn't getting that point across to them.  I think they were so used to the old rules that they haven't really adapted to the new ones.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Oct 20 06 09:55
Yeah but they wouldn't have tied the game with a minute left if it was for a super roughing call against the blues, then the new coach pulled the goalie and the Canucks were on a 6 on 3 because when the super roughing dangerous hit happend the Canucks were on the power play. Fans went nuts thought it wasn't a penalty I was like the Canuck player had his head down! You don't slam somebody into the boards with there head down at full speed! Then they scored.

  Then in overtime there was a fight so it was 3 on 3 and then Salo I think and Henrik Sedin and Naslund just took over skating around the blues zone avoiding them it was sweet. 3 on 3 was amazing. Break away after break away end to end. So when the Canucks got the 4th man back I knew they were going to score they were just dominating in the overtime then the scored before the buzzer went off SWEET!!

Mmmm, curry. You have me thinking about it for lunch now! What nationality type of curry?

        I actually went to a Thai place yesterday that I have been going to for a while. BEST Thai place I have been to. The cook there used to cook for the king of thailand. The place is also the only place in canada that meets certain thai decoration standards.

[A href="http://www.evevancouver.ca/food/menus/arroy-d.htm"]http://www.evevancouver.ca/food/menus/arroy-d.htm[/A]

  I highly recommend this place. In Vancouver, Canada.

Wow, that Thai place isn't too expensive.  SWEET!  I find that Thai restaurants are so damn expensive, take the Thai place at Metrotown.  Good food, but so expensive.  I've added your link to my favorites so that when I'm around Cambie and feel like Thai, I'll go.

The way to do it is to have her stand behind your shoulder and lean over you and guide your hand with the chopsticks.  Get her to repeat it a few times to be sure you get it right.      (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/12.gif)

Y'know, SD... you should start asking her some questions. Y'know, get to know her and all. Heck, if I were a regular at a restaurant, I always make comments. You'd be surprised at how many waitress/waiters we know.

  Lunch today was dim sum at T &amp; T. Not the best but certainly the cheapest. I had congee for $1.50. Where can you beat that price??

I'm going to make q-dillas with leftover steak from last night, black beans that I bought at the store last night along with jalopenos, cheese, salsa and sour cream.

    I've seen the place before. Right next to the newly renovated McDonald's, right? Hmmm.... pizza is good. I do love a good pizza once in awhile.

  You can also chose a specialty pizza with the pre-choice toppings and add more to it ifyou like.  We did that and added almost everything else.  Oh, they fire-burn the pizza.

  It is expensive...usually comes out to about $30ish including tips but so worth it.

Lets see since we're talking about food and different styles. I'm going to mention somethings that are 'saint louis' specialities and I hope somebody can say they've got them in the Pacific Northwest. (highly doubt it)

  St. Louis style pizza

toasted ravioli

pork steaks

Vess Soda (I know you don't have that lol)

Schlafly Beer

St. Paul sandwich (chinese sandwich pretty good)

  Things I wish the rest of the world could have

Ted Drewes simply the best ice cream EVER

Please if you ever come to saint louis you've got to visit Ted Drewes on Chippewa in South City.

The Hill - best italian food in North America

Hello Lunch! What's on for today? Just grabbing a sandwich from a deli.

It has been a few years since I have been there. The biggest thing I noticed about Vegas, the people (tourists), are either very skinny, or very obese. Not much in the middle??

  It was fun for a couple days, like I said I don't gamble. When you live in Canada, you crave excitment from time to time! Its also nice to come home too.

I had Starbucks coffee for breakfast then watched my friends cousin's house burn down from my house. Big house, gone now. Well I think it was his house can't be sure they've got the road blocked.

Hey all! Good morning. Last morning of sunshine before the big downpour. Enjoy the day while it last.

  Halloween a blast last night. Had tons of kids come over. Down to four little chocolate candy before I shut off the lights. Gotta have my chocolate.

  Lise Jr. had fun though her wee little fingers got too cold while trick or treatin'. I don't get the bigger kids who come to your doorsteps asking for chocolate. I  mean, c'mon... aren't you too big to go trick or treating?

  Hey SD, must have been quite a sight to see your cousin's place burnt down. Wow. That's scary. We had the house next to ours on fire. I think the tenants were smoking pot or something like that. The landlord kicked them out the following week and then we got new neighbors. Thank goodness!

Well, lunch for me was Timmy Ho's donuts, Im on a healthy streak here.

  Thats too bad about that 81 yr old by you SD.

  The only thing other than stealing all the unhanded out candy for myself last night, was when a group of three kids were shooting off roman candles and shot at me in my truck as I was driving (my windows were open, that made me the maddest). I chased em down and berated them. I mean yeah have fun its halloween, but doing stupid shit like shooting at vehicles/people/houses and stuff will cause more hippy laws to be passed and things to be banned for everyone. I have no problems with kids having fun with firecrackers and fireworks, just dont be too stupid about it.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Nov 01 06 12:30
Agreed Russ.  I saw these stupid teens purposely blowing off firecrackers infront of the little kids.  These kids were scared.  I could see them in their eyes.  CRUEL!  I gave them an earful.  

  Timmy Ho's....have you tried their chilli and garlic bread deal?  I went into New West, ordered the chilli special and she asked me "white or brown?"  I said brown.  Then, when I got my bag, I saw that it was just a plain bun and not the garlic bread that it specified right on the ad.  I said "umm, this should be garlic"  The girl was like "you should have specified tha!"  I pointed out to the ad and it mentioned "with garlic toast."  I didn't think that I had to specify.  MY GOODNESS!  LOL.

  The chilli was okay.  Not as good as mine, of course.  :)

I tried the chilli with garlic toast at Timmies Meh. Nothing special except the ad look damn good.

  I think Tim Horton staff have a communication problem there... maybe too many customers, they get tired of listening to request all day long. Several times I had asked for my brown bread to be toasted and I keep getting white untoasted bread. Stupid noobs.

  Their soup gumbo was the worst ever soup invented.

      Well, nothing to do with ham but it does originate from the town of Hamburg in Germany.

Source: [A href="http://www.foodvenue.com/content/features/f020006_hamburger.asp"]http://www.foodvenue.com/content/features/f020006_hamburger.asp[/A]

  The word comes from the seaport city - Hamburg in Germany. During the time of American settlement, a lot of European immigrants moved to the New World. At that time the port of Hamburg meant the last piece of European soil immigrants felt under their feet before their voyage to the unknown. Hamburger was a food European immigrant often used to consume on the boats of the Hamburg-America Line. Like the Italians immigrant that brought in pizzas, the German immigrant brought in hamburger. Strangely enough they did not use the names for hamburger in their mother tongue (German name 'Frikadelle'). Maybe that was because the word hamburger reminded them nostalgic of their voyage and was an element of recalling their old homeland.

Russ, Turducken (and we may not be spelling it right), is a stuffed chicken, stuffed into a stuffed duck, stuffed into a stuffed turkey.  It's particularly delicious if each bird has a different stuffing, and if it is done with each one deboned and yet left 'whole'.

 Yeah, I have heard of this. I was wondering where you bought it, or if you made it yourself. On another site Im on they all say they buy it from Wallmart. I went to wallmart and couldnt find it.. so I was hoping you knew where to buy it...

Walmart?  That's odd.  That seems like finding a Tiffany lamp at Dollar Giant or Chateaubriand at MacD's.  

I can't imagine it's something you could get packaged or premade. (maybe frozen?).  I've never really looked, mind you.  They take hours to prepare and hours to cook (the toughest part is deboning the fowl).

the best place for turkducken is where it was created in this small town north of new orleans in louisiana. They did a story on the place once. People come from as far away as arkansas and alabama, texas and oklahoma just to get this thing.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 03 06 11:24
There's a difference in creating and claiming 'ownership' of a recipe and the origin of the dish. I can come up with a variation of a pizza, that is of my own invention, therefore making the recipe 'mine'....but I certainly couldn't claim that I invented pizza. But turducken does go back to 18th century France. Paul Prudhomme claims to have developed the recipe for turducken, but many debate his claim.  He may have come up with 'a recipe', that he can claim as his own, but that doesn't have much to do with the origin of the dish.

   'Since Cajuns originated from French Canada. it could be assumed that the recipe came with them and morphed into today's version'.

     Russ:

You can toss anything into the hotpot. Consider prawns, tofu, fish/pork/beef balls, veggies... you're only limited by your imagination. However, if you want chicken/beef/pork meat - you should get those very, very thin slices that cook in seconds. They should be in the frozen section.

  Hot side? Like the hot/spicy broth? I don't know what you mean by this. There are packages out there for hotpot. Look for them in the sauce aisle and follow the instructions.

  If you're talking about dipping sauce, you can always get hot/garlic sauce that comes in the bottle. Look for Maggi brand or the Vietnamese hot dipping sauce. You can also add Kikoman soy sauce as well.

Thanks for the Reply Lise!

We actually had it last night. I do see what you mean by the little pouches marked with the hotpot sign/symbol, that saved me otherwise I would have wandered in circles. As it was I over bought big time cause I didnt know what I needed, and bought stuff that wasnt meant for hotpot, like those tarot root buns or whatever they are. I actually bought the mixed veggies and seafood containers after looking through the isles labelled for hotpot. To be honest I pretty much bought everything with a hotpot symbol on it then let my girlfriend tell me if I did right or was an idiot.

  What I meant by the hot side, was in the hotpots I ate at in China and in Richmond there was two sections to the bowl, one was the red spicy side and the other was jsut regular broth. But I did get one of every hot pot seasoning package there was there, so I had all bases covered. I thought the peanuty tasting sauce was peanuts! But it turns out to be seasome seed extract or something like that.

  I bought a bunch of the thinly sliced meat, and I also bought a bunch of chicken breasts and shredded that. I also discovered that the hot pepper seasoning really is hot (hotter than the stuff I had in China) and you dont absolutely cover the food with it.

  Im going to buy one of those cool propane burner things for the pot. We used an electric pot type thing, and it didnt seem to have the same heat or ambience to me.

  I must admit though, I dislike the balls of meat that you drop in. I dont know, I just didnt like them.

  Thanks again!

Russ

Russ! So funny hearing you buy taro root buns for hotpot! And wandering around buying those specially marked hotpot symbol. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)

  Those things that are marked with the symbol.... well, they're kinda expensive for the selection plus you're not really sure how long they've been sitting there. Better off just buying individual items. Still, they're great if you don't really know how to go about doing a hotpot plus they're good if you're on a time budget.

  Now that you know what to do, you should have no problems going about making one in future.

  I forgot to say: add tofu fish cakes.They can be purchased at the fish ball aisle. They're really nice and soft - I have just discovered them and thought they taste awesome.

  Another great addition is soft sikly tofu, it's white and comes in a tight 'tube' like packet. Just slice them into pieces and dip in for a few seconds. Don't stir too much or they break apart but once you eat them, it's like heaven. Yummy!

  As for the hotpot propane tank, be careful! A friend of mine inserted the thing upside down (don't ask) and managed to burn a small hole into the table at her place. Hehe. Anyways, always make sure you have at least TWO propane gas as you don't wanna run out of gas in the middle of your hotpot.

  Check out the Crystal Mall. They usually have cheaper kit (comes with propane gas) and the special looking pot (two sides for different broth) cheaper than T &amp; T.

  And yeah, I know what you  mean about the electric wok but it's easier for me as I have kids I have to watch.

  Fish Tofu looks like this:

 [img id=image337 alt=fried-coke.jpg src="http://dethroner.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/fried-coke.jpg" align=right]According to my rigorous three-seconds of Googling, the story of deep-fried Coca-Cola first leaked out of the dripping fry baskets of the Texas State Fair about a month ago, but this is the first that time I've actually seen a picture of the frightening concoction, made from:
 [BLOCKQUOTE]...Coca-Cola-flavored batter. He then drizzles Coke fountain syrup on it. The fried Coke is topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry. Gonzales said the fried Coke came about just from thinking aloud.[/BLOCKQUOTE]

OMG. No way! And of course, it had to come from good old Texas.

  The closest weird fried food I've come across is deep fried ice cream. Doubly yummy.

i know they have deep fried mars bars down south somewhere.

  while we are on unhealthy foods, how about that krispy kreme burger coming in at a whopping 1000 calories...

When I was in China I had something I havent heard or seen since.

  Coca Cola chicken wings. I kid you not. Everyone over there seems to be able to make it. We used to bribe the front desk girls at the hotel we were at with stuff or taking them out for dinners to get them to make a bunch for us.

1,000 calories for a stupid donut?!?! Ah no way. Not surprise as it comes from Krispy Kreame and they're known for making everything sweet and sinful.

  Oh wow. I would love to try the deep fried mars bars and Coca Cola deep fried wings. Just once. Just to say I've tried them.

  And since kingy brought it up, thought you might find this interesting about McDonald's food/calorie contents. It's enough to give you a heart attack.

       Election 2000, Miami-Dade County, butterfly ballots, hanging chads.

  I did the electronic way and it was cool you would touch the screen for the person or thing you want and next to the screen would be this piece of paper and your vote gets printed on the paper.

chicken fried rice today for me.

  congee (jook) is basically rice soup. it is pretty easy to make, just rice and water and let simmer for about an hour. you can add your favourite stuff in like chicken, beef etc...

  traditionally, you top them off with chinese donuts.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Nov 09 06 02:37
Yep, exactly what kingy said. Bad for diabetes though, too much starch.

  I do love the Chinese donut that go with my congee. Simply divine. My favorite congee mix is usually one with fish fillets and century egg.

  For the best donut (fresh and cheap), I usually head over to the Crystal Mall and buy a stick. Then just before eating, I pop them into toaster oven for a few minutes so they become crispy and lovely.

You are on your own with congee Im sorry to say, I dont like the stuff. Well thats not true really, theres one that I did like but I havent been able to find it here, and I dont know what it was lol.

    purelife, look around the edmonds area in bby. I helped move my buddy into a one bed and den appartment there, he bought it, but on the street alone he was on there was apartments for rent in three of the buildings. I dont know if they were two bed however. He was ten minutes walk away from the skytrain station.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Nov 09 06 03:17
I'll keep an eye out for you, purelife. Have you tried looking into the Burnaby Now newspaper? Sometimes they have basement suites for rent.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Nov 09 06 03:28
Thanks Russ and Lise.  I thought to ask friends from DS first.  I prefer a referral over an ad anyday.  With ads, it's always a first come first serve.  Through referrals, it's always that much cheaper and that much more flexible in terms of move-in date.  

  We're looking to move out at the beginning of the new year.  I totally forgot about the Burnaby Now.  I will for sure check into that as well as Craigslist.  Oh, I also heard the Sing Tao and Ming Pao, chinese newspapers are always an option too.  I just have to find someone who can read chinese.  :)  Lise...?  hee hee...

  Ok, we'll try checking out Edmonds area for suites.  We haven't really put much work into this because of limited time, but when we do, I'm taking some time off of work to scope around the preferred skytrain areas for availabilities.

You can get those free Chinese newspapers outside the Crystal Mall. In the yellow boxes.... they're also available near the elevator on the ground floor.

curry, cool.

How do you make curry chicken? Do you bake it just like regular chicken except sprinkle curry on it?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Nov 10 06 09:38
I put chicken drumsticks in a pot with water.  Then, I pour a can of pure coconut milk.  I add potatoes, carrots and onions.  Then, add spoonfuls of curry powder (however strong you prefer) and a teaspoon or two of tumeric and paprika.  (or other spices, but I like mine mild)...then let this simmer in the pot for about 2 hours.  On the side, make some rice.  In my brown rice, I add two teaspoons of tumeric for flavoring and color.  

  This is very simple.  I'm sure you'll like it lots SD.

Its pretty good. Lots of paprika turns the meat red for example. Chicken fall right off the bone.

So if your not a paprika fan you probably wouldn't like the food because it uses a LOT of paprika.

Chicken, Pork, meatballs thats what my grandma cooks.

Your mom's curry was absolutely divine.

  Oh, I also added some lemon juice, about two teaspoons to my curry.  I know that I have left out a ton of other spices because real curry has about 12 different spices and a bunch of other stuff.  I like mine simple and mild.

Crockpot curry would be great.  Add those ingredients that I mentioned and just leave it on low for a few hours.  Wow, that would taste really really great...to have all the potatoes mushed into the curry sauce.  The coconut milk, I find, adds that extra sweetness to the curry.  I've never made curry in a crockpot but I'm sure it'll taste even better.  

  Oh, that sucks SD.   Oh well, you'll be the talk for the rest of their lives.. tee hee..  It's kinda cool, to be unique.

Don't be sorry Lise.  I didn't know what they were until my friend told me about it.  These lady fingers are used as layers in the tiramisu.  I believe that these lady fingers get dipped in the kawula(sp?) (or rum) and again dipped in coffee and then a cream cheese spread goes on top and you repeat for about 6 times or so for that tiramisu layers.  I'll post up the recipe.

I don't know about that SD.  The baby will still absorb all the nutrients and contents.  I even heard that the mother should not even spray perfume and/or use under arm deodorant.  It's supposedly bad for the baby because it'll end up soaking that in from teh milk.

Yeah, I know, purelife! Cheesecake can be so fattening no matter what. And expensive to boot. 3 packages of cream cheese gets expensive in the end.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Nov 10 06 01:35
Yup I was wrong not a good idea to drink while breast feeding.

  WebMD says:

   [LI]When a breast-feeding woman drinks alcohol heavily, it can cause a lack of energy and other health problems for her baby. One to two drinks per day have been linked to poor milk let-down and may affect the baby's muscle coordination. If you choose to drink alcohol, avoid breast-feeding or pumping milk right after you have had a drink. Wait 1 to 2 hours per drink, to allow your body to clear some of the alcohol from your system first.[/LI]

No, not the water thingee. The gel-type one that massages your feet. I found one at Superstore, should be alright for her. At least I hope that's what she wants.

  I HATE shopping for Christmas. I have a headache just thinking about getting stuff for ppl and getting items that I don't really have any use for. I prefer the holiday spirit where you just sit together with friends and family and not have to give each other presents.

  I can resist fries when I want to. When I was pregnant, I had no stomach for fries. Now I only 'steal' from my husband's plate just to satisfy my palate. Other than that I just opt for something else like baked potato.

  New York fries are divine though.

Nope.  It's really high in sugar and fat, Lise.  You could buy "lite egg nog"  Here are the ingredients in order:  Water, sugar, modified milk ingredients, cream, glucose fructose, egg yolk, artificial flavour nutmeg, natural colour, butter, guar gum, carrageenan, dipotassium phosphate.
 
 Try mixing it with half egg nog and half milk to dillute.  It's really strong alone.  (unless you prefer it strong)

I know what you mean about the 'xmas shopping.  It's definitely time consuming and so much expected from one another to give gifts.  Thank goodness I have a small list.  I can't imagine having a larger family.  mmmm....baked potatoes...potatoes...love potatoes anything (except raw...tee hee)

No raw eggs Lise...at least, I don't believe that anything is raw in there.  Doublecheck with the dairy clerk just to make sure...I could be wrong.

yeah regular eggnog is pretty thick. Its as thick as ice cream that you've left out thats melted. Usually one cup and you've pretty much had your fill.

Speaking of baked potato, have you tried the one from Arbys. Not to shabby. I usually opt for the one without bacon on it.

  The Keg has the best baked potato, hands on.

  Haven't tried Arby's.  The Keg...YEAH AWESOME!  I usually opt out for Wendy's whenever I crave the potatoes.
 
 In England, they make the meanest most delicious baked potatoes.  There was this one little food place in the food court dedicated to baked potatoes with whatever fixings on top...mmm...chilli and baked potatoes, spinach and cheese on baked potatoes..anything!  MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Hello!

  I meant cRock pot. not cock pot. LOL. I had to reread the next few posts a few times to get my misspell and why someone attached a picture of a hot dog.

  Theres one of the stores that PC is talking about in the tsawassan area according to one of my friends. I enjoyed shopping at them when I was on the island, they have that small town co-op type atmosphere.

  Camping was fun, little wet/snowy (f**king slush snow or rain the whole weekend), but sitting in the natural hot springs pools beside a freezing river was worth it. Brought some candles and lots of beer, just soaked... I just wish my tarp covered my whole tent (grabbed the wrong one), woke up the second morning with three inches of water in the tent LOL. Good thing we were sleeping on an air mattress, and I had our backpacks with clothes inside a rubbermaid container in the tent, still got a dirty look from my girlfriend though. No matter, bailed it out good for one more night. The road in and out was super wet, and we got caught behind some fools that wouldnt pull over to let us by on the way out. The last guy kept cutting us off and laughing at us when we tried to pass him, but we got by and they got an earfull from us! We went in behind pemberton, went to the hotsprings at 78 km in, and came out by the sasquatch inn just outside of Harrison.

  I have some pictures Ill try to get off my camera when I find the cord, lol, but can I attach them to this site and is there a size limit??

Very true, purelife. And I don't know how you can get hot and sexy in a hot tub. If a man were to do that, there'd be zero action chance. I know this because I watched the Discovery Channel.

  And they say you don't learn anything on TV.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Nov 14 06 01:30
Agree.  The only thing sexy about sex in a hot tub, though technically, nothing can really penetrate or "grow" for that matter, is the sweat part.  It's hot and steamy.  That's about it.

It could be.  I'll have to go to the supermarket and see which brand I buy.  I don't often eat cereal.  I don't have the time to eat anything before I head to work.  I eat when I get to my desk.

Cereal? Hm. I can't stand cereal. Don't know why.

  According to our dietitian, cereals are bad for you. The only ones you're supposed to take are the ones loaded with fibre upon fibre.

  Yeah. Like chewing cardboard. Yuck.

Yeah, I heard that cereal isn't too good for you as well, Lise.  High in sugar and junk overall.  Cereal has just been branded into our brains because the "normal" breakfast would be cereal, a glass of orange juice and toast.  That's the English way, I think.

  Nope, that isn't the brand that I buy, SD.

Speaking of juice, purelife. I tried carrot juice the other day. Was... .interesting. Juiced them up myself. I hate the clean-up though.

I heard that pure carrot juice is disgusting.  That's probably why I haven't dare blend carrots.  And the mess, yes, I can imagine, all that pulp.  EEcckk....

  Speaking of juices, my parents brought that Ron Popeil(sp?) juicer thingy machine.  My parents were really into it for the first coupla weeks, but now, not so much.  It's the cleaning part, I think.  I did enjoy the juice creations that my mom made for me  Yummy.

Post by: Lise on Nov 15 06 02:04
Yeah. I know but I thought I'd give carrot juice a try since I hadn't had my in-take of veggies lately. It wasn't too bad. I tossed in a plum hoping it'll sweeten the juice up a bit.

  Can't remember the brand name for my juicer. I only know, like your parents, it's hell to clean up.

I buy the tetra 1 Litre packs of 12 from costco that have the juice and veggie combonations, as well as the three juice mictures. Minute Maid I believe, Im not that observant.

  Carrot juice by itself mixed with SoCo or JD isnt too bad, we ran out of mix one time and mulched carrots the only thing left in my fridge and tried it.

    I just made myself grilled cheese sammich with ham, onions, egg, and mustard. Little late for lunch I know but I just took my GMC through AirScare.

You know that carrots are extremely high in sugar, Lise?  I've cut down on carrots because they're high in carbs and sugars.  I used to eat a whole bag full of carrots but was told to stop because of these reasons.  

  Costco is wonderful for all those bulk shopping.  Yeah, for convenience, juices ready made are the best.  My choice as well.

Yeah, I know. Dietitian said that virtually all root veggies are loaded with starch which transform to sugar easily but since I'm cleared of diabetes, I can actually handle them.

  Now if I can only do something about the taste......

  Haven't shopped at Costco in eons. Don't know what to buy there seeing how everything comes in bulk size and we don't need that much.

  a farce really, its sooooo easy to beat if your engine is halfway maintained and have the right equipment. that being said I didnt do anything to my truck that you should do beforehand I just wnet through. Like change the oil to remove the dirty oil which raises your hydrocarbons, retard your timing so you get a hotter burn in your combustion chambers which means a cleaner burn and less emissions, and put a litre of MethylHydrate into a half or qaurter tank of high octane gas (ie 94) to further raise your combustion temperature as much as possible. Always make sure your car is HOT and WARMED UP before going, preferably make a 100km/hr run for 20 minutes along a highway so your catalytic converter on your exhaust before your muffler is really hot. Once you get out go fill up with high octane gas to disperse the methylhydrate into a lower concentration in your tank, you dont want your car running that hot all the time.

Kindve a mechanic. I play around with engines and cars/trucks when Im at home as kindve a hobby. It is sort of work related as on the ships Im a jack of all trades with all the machinery and equipment onboard. The engine on the vessel is kindve the heartbeat of the ship so to speak, though different it does share some of the same characteristics.

  I guess you could ask me if you have problems.. but if it does seem like too big of a job or too in depth for me Ill refer you where to go.. I go to some places to get things fixed checked out if its too complicated or im lazy.

Excellent. Good to know. I'm always clueless when it comes to cars. As in, insert key and go.

  Can you recommend a good family car that sits seven or so? How about the Rav4 by Toyota? Is that good on gas? I must admit, that's a nice looking car but as scared about the size.

Im a fan of Toyota's having owned a number of them, but I dont know about a RAV4 (it doesnt seat 7 does it?). I know of a few people that have them and they havent had any problems that I have heard of. I did change a tire on a friends vehicle one time, and the jack that came with her RAV4 bent the first time it was used!

  If you want a vehicle that has seating for 7 I would think about something like a minivan. The best is something like the Honda or Toyota one, but the best bang for the buck is still the first one on the market, the Dodge caravan. cheaper than the other two domestics, but still more reliable than the Chev or Ford.

  The other option would be a Suburban, but then you are into big and a gas hog.

  As much as I love fullsizes, the best for reliability, resale, and economic are imports ie Honda's, Toyota's, Mazda's, etc.

Wow. Thanks for the heads up, Russ. Interesting. I'm not really into minivans as such (I hate the image of the soccer mom) though. Would like one that can sit at least seven and doesn't have to be monster of a vehicle to drive.

Oh yeah, purelife. It was really, really simple and they turned out gorgeous. Just buy those cheap cupcake containers and they'll look wonderful.

  Dont take this wrong Lise, but you and purelife might have taken that posters message and intent in the wrong perspective. I read it before yours and I took it to be in awe that you could raise your kids; and still find the time in your busy schedule for you-time, to browse DS. I didnt read any judgement against you or your mothering skills in it. More like respect for you could organise your time that well.

  But then again, my philosophy is to take everything at face value and give it a shot at the benefit of the doubt.. I have been known to be wrong.

 Do you have a bbq? I have lots of 'get togethers' at my place, might be having one this friday or sat actually, and I usually make a number of quik n easy snack things.

  Those bags of carrots and celery (nobody likes the other stuff anyways) and a bowl of dip.

  Get those shrimp rings, they are like 3 bucks each and then 2 for the sauce.

  Get a package of stewing beef thats presliced (yeah Im lazy) and soak over night in teriyaki sauce, then take bacon cut in half and wrap around each one and hold in place with a toothpick. Sear on the bbq at 3/4 heat ( I throw some montreal steak seasoning in a light coat over it as well) for a few minutes each side then take off and throw on a cookie pan and throw in the oven at 275 for 10 minutes to let the meat relax after the searing to tenderize and cook in the middle while still leaving it a nice almost brown pink. Take out and let sit for 5 minutes to untension then serve with a small bowl of ranch as a dipping sauce. The toothpicks witll give you something to each them with.

  Another is to buy pretandooried chicken (you know the East Indian kind) and cook that, use something to dip it in like blue cheese or ranch, as not everyone likes a blast of the seasonings like that.

  Buy a bag of teh small wings. Dump entire bag on the bqq and spread out with a metal flipper. season wiht montreal seasoning and garlic powder. Keep taking a bunch at a time and flipping them in on themselves, like a stirfry almost (watch for fat flareups with this method, have a plate standing by to pull them off enmass to avoid them being burnt and for the fat to burn off prior to putting them back on). When they are cooked put them into a pile in the middle of the grill and add some sort of hickory or mesquite or whatever flavoring you like dumped on the pile. Then pick and dump the wings/theighs onto themselves stirfry style until all are evenly covered and pull off the grill to serve.

  Another one of my favorites is to use some of the stewed beef and diced chicken marinated in teriyaki to make kebobs. Get multicultural peppers and chop em up. Get some of those stick thingys and use that. Alternate the pepers, onions, and beef and chicken. the pieces should each be about an inch or inch and a half in size. Make some without onions and some without any meats on it as there are rabbits amongst your friends. When you cook them, now this is a good secret for cooking them on the 'que.. take one of those deep dish rectangular tinfoil trays (make sure when the kebobs sit lengthwise on it the the sticks stick out of the tray so as to rest on the sides without the meat and veggies touch the bottom of the tray) and using a knife put a bunch of holes in the bottom of it, put the kebobs sitting on it, and cook wiht medium heat. The trays keep the heat from overcooking the kebobs while absorbing the heat and radiating it onto the kebobs, it also lets the juices and fat drain.

  I got some more but my hands are tired.

Lise.. do you use reusable diapers or the disposable ones. A few of my friends that have little ones did the disposable for a bit but found it so expensive for them with rent and such they went to reusuable diapers and just washed lots. The diapers did go a bit cream colour lol after a while but they just had an outer diaper as well.

  Dunno on plans for weekend. tonight a few people might come over and tomorrow a group of us are meeting up to celebrate three birthdays at a restaurant cause we have all been so busy. Other than that study study study.... Well, Im going to Borat tongiht though.

Disposable, Russ. If you've seen the amount of poo, I think you'll be running to the disposable ones soon. My friends tried the re-usable ones but found them to be too harsh on baby's little butt. Apparently it gave their baby a bad rash. They did offer to give me their un-open ones (since they bought so many) but I declined. Can't stand washing the un-mentionables.

  Heck, I had to hold my breath every time I change the diapers. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/4.gif) I can't imagine washing them.

Apparently the above poster left his/her brain somewhere before coming here.......

  Can't handle SB. Their coffee is too strong for some reason, even the decaf. Their lattes are to die for if you're not counting calories.

  Got a favorite at SB?

Ahh, I read Vancouver is on a water boil advisory. (bowing head sheepishly).

So it wouldn't just be Starbucks with no coffee! That must have been a rough morning for Vancouver!? Then again, I guess their are other things to worry about.

  I like Starbucks coffee. I like the independants too.

It's a rough morning everywhere, Zzz. Rain and no coffee makes a Vancouveritte extremely cranky. BTW, just read on DV the water advisory has lifted in some areas of Vancouver.

   [P align=center]BOIL WATER ADVISORY LIFTED FOR PORTIONS OF GREATER VANCOUVER

[FONT size=3] [P align=left]Medical Health Authorities have advised that "at the recommendation of the Medical Health Officers, the boil water advisory is lifted for all areas except Vancouver, North Shore and Burnaby. Turbidity levels for all other areas is at acceptable levels, because they are being served by the Coquitlam water source. We will continue to monitor the situation closely."

 [P align=left]GVRD staff advise that turbidity levels in the GVRD's Capilano and Seymour reservoirs are declining but remain above acceptable levels. The region is currently discharging water from the Capilano and Seymour lakes in an effort to release as much of the turbid water as is possible. Inflow to the reservoirs is, at the moment, experiencing much lower turbidity, although additional impact may be expected from storms forecast for this weekend.

 [P align=left]Disinfection of the source water has been increased, as has sampling and testing.

Life was hell this morning with no coffee. We tried three places after the normal place we go to in the mornings.

  found one place near us later and got one, the first break we tried to go there and found out it was shut down by the powers that be even though they were boiling it. Didnt want any issues with lawsuits I guess.

    Yeah, I can see my friends going back to that Lise. Its so much easier to just throw away rather than scrape and wash... been there and helped a few times. Yuckers.

    Bash a trouts brains out? Musta been almost ten pounds then? I find when they are smaller you just put one hand into the gills gripping the body and with the other hand take the head from the bottom and bend it back until it touches the back of the fish. Snap the neck and done.

I agree though Lise, Trout fresh out of the water and straight into the pan with butter is the bestest!!

  I had bar food for lunch, typical friday noon.

LOL Russ.  Just read your message.  That's hilarious.  I can't believe that's for real!  

  Do you want to hear something so extremely pathetic?  Well, we sent out this email reminder to staff to sign up for the Christmas party.  And on the title, we write down the company name and at the end of our company name we wrote "Co." and not the full word "Company".  Well, we all know that Co. is an abbreviated form of Company.  Anyways, someone from our Marketing dept. was all arms up in the air because she was like "you must stick to the exact company name of X &amp; Y Company.  GEESHUS!  The funny thing is that I can't believe that we had to write on the invitation the name of our company when it is obviously only for us staff (and guest).  Oh, that was just so pointless.  Bleh!

Really? I was in Ukranian Tire in richmond tonight right before going to see Borat (it was 'ok'), the place was packed! Everyone had those 5 gallon containers of water for the dispensers, like four each. No one was anywhere else in teh store, so we wandered through the camping sections and ended up buying ice cream and a frying pan. There was lots of water there, they had pallets and pallets of it.

  We went out with my dad and bro for dinner at a chinese restaurant on Fraser tonight.. It was pretty good, my dad couldnt wrap his head around the idea of tea in one pot and hot water in another.

Good morning, Lise and P.C., and anyone else who may be joining us.  I read your list, Lise and I seem to have everything but the stove and the money.  I can get the stove, but it may take a little longer for the money.

  I've had my "brunch", a chicken sandwich and a cup of coffee.

Morning guys! Lunch today at the food court. I'm taking an hour off by myself. A much needed time alone from hubby and kids. He's graciously allowing me an hour. Meh. I need a day but I'll take whatever I can.

  My emergency kit needs an update. I get the feeling some of the stuff have expired. I  mean... do cans expire?

  Russ. Forgot to ask. Was Borat any good?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

From what I've heard, three years is about the limit for cans.  If there is any rust around the edges toss them immediately.

I've had an earthquake kit for years.  We would have enough of everything we need for 3 weeks.  I don't think people can really visualize what it could be like if an earthquake were to hit.    

You may have a great survival kit, but if your house collapses, will you have access to it ? You may have car keys....but will there be roads?  Is it possible that if you have money, that even if you could get yourself to a store....would there BE a store ?  

  I think about it sometimes, and what it may be like.  What if it's December as opposed to August?..........................  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Nov 18 06 11:02
No rust around my cans yet, kitten so I guess they're good for now.

  PC, I guess we can't be 100% prepared. At least you've got enough to last you 3 weeks. I'm not even sure we can push pass 72 hours. 24 hours maybe. Ah well. It's a big headache to think of what to pack into your emergency kit.

I've often had those thoughts.  Basic needs are shelter, warmth, water and food.  Everything past that will make it easier on you, but strictly speaking, they can be done without.  Terrifying thoughts, though, knowing that what you have you have to defend from others who aren't prepared.  If you try to share you will have nothing for yourself.

Know the feeling there, kitten. I just don't want to think about it...........

  Yeah. One hour by myself. Still better than nothing. I'm going to try shopping a bit. I haven't bought myself anything since the baby so it'll be good to do a bit of spoiling.

Last time I checked, my sugar was a big block....lol.  We keep it in the shed, thinking that even if the shed collapsed, it would be a lot easier to pick through that than a whole house.  A couple bottles of Brandy or whatever you fancy wouldn't hurt either.......you know, in case you get cold.....lol

   Mornin.

Yeah, we actually have an advantage as we have tons of camping stuff around se were are set like that. Just leave your tent and other camping stuff easily accessable, your set then.

We have canned food thats ten years old, who cares? If its sealed it should be ok at worst case scenario. Lots of them are rusty in areas, as long as its not through its only surface rust, just like 30% of the cars on teh road right? They arent thrown away cause of a little brown colouring. We have four rubbermaids with canned food and left over camping instant stuff for camping use and accessible in case of an emergency.

We also have two large containers full of water.. We also have one of those hand pumps for when you go overnight hiking for water, another thing that everyone could get are those purification tablets. Put them in any water as well as boiling and you are set.

As for a stove, lol, find someone like me thats getting rid of some of the older ones that are white gas. Go to a flea market or garage sale or craigslist, people get rid of two burner coleman stoves for like 10 bucks. As long as it works who cares? Get a container of white gas and store it with the stove, the container of white gas is 11 bucks.

Biggest suggestion I can give is get stuff that doesnt require lots of water to make, you may need the water for other things.

Go to a survival store like an army surplus or MEC and buy those MRE's that the military uses, they last for ever and although expensive, have all you need to get by.

Just spend a few hours and think about what you and your family need and plan accordingly, yeah it will probably never happen, but what happens if it does? Better to be prepared as just look at how Katrina was handled and that will give you an idea at that level or worse for us.

Opening light sockets and took the tv apart one time) once a week at least from my mother. On a saturday all day and night, sometimes both sat and sun evenings. He also used to do two nights a week.

  No, haven't had time to use his credit card but you can be sure I'm charging him for this. He'll have to pay dearly come Christmas. Housework is high on my list...... but he says it's way too expensive for him. Hmph.

  I've always preferred poultry or pork over beef.  (which isn't to say I don't enjoy a superb rib eye or Prime Rib) but beef is never something I 'crave'.  If I had to pick only 2 things in the meat family to live off forever, it would be pork and seafood (does that count as one?....lol)[/DIV]

I hadn't thought of seafood as meat, but given two choices I'd pick chicken and salmon.

Thats too bad Lise, but good for you for respecting his beliefs.

  I like the beef and pork, but I am going more towards chicken than I used to. I agree with SD, it IS better for ya.

oh I completely forgot about fish.
If I go to a restaurant and see salmon on the menu right next to a steak I'm going with the fish. Never got the idea of going to a 'steak house' when I can have steak at home.  
love seafood.

awww..... that's sad to hear Russ.  Did she pass along her cooking secrets to her kids?  I don't have a grandma where I can learn her cooking but am hoping to learn how from my b/f's grandma.  She makes awesome German food and rhubarb pie and pies in general.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Nov 20 06 03:14
 chicken, pork, beef.
cooked with lots of paprika turns the meat red. Meat turns very soft.
Don't think she made meatballs.
She doesn't cook as much as she used to either. Once she hit 80 she didn't see the point in cooking all day for dinner. She gets tired out easily. We can't all go down to Florida to visit her anymore she gets overwehlmed.  Can't breathe right either, has black lung disease from either the forced labour camps in europe she was in for a couple years or always working with bleaches and other chemicals.

  Kindve not really purelife, we all used to go over and make sourkraut with her when we were younger, but she has lots and lots of written down recipe's in german which we cannot read. She's german background and my granddad was Lithuanian. Mmmm, rhubarb pie.. I remember that!

Did someone say fondue? Hm. I'm not a big fan of fondue... made that for a party and nobody wanted to eat chocolate. Isn't that weird? I guess they're not into dipping and sharing. Heh.

  Maybe it's because I used Toberone as my chocolate base. It came out looking kinda weird.

  Anyone tried cheese fondue?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 20 06 05:35
We have done the cheese fondue and one with meats and seafood.  Last New Years Day, we had 4 fondue pots going.  One with oil for prawns, scallops, chicken, pork and beef cubes. One with broth for broccoli bites and veggies. (There was a tempura batter for the meats and veggies if you wanted.)  One with cheese for chunks of foccasia and sour dough.  And one for the dessert.  Chocolate and orange brandy for strawberries, mandarin orange segments and some other stuff.  We put out a line of 20 different dipping sauces for the different meats.

  It was really an awesome way to eat......lots of conversation.  You tend to eat slower and enjoy more.

That was the first time we had ever done fondue and we are going to do it again this New Years Day.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Nov 20 06 06:01
That sounds so delicious, P.C.  I can't see buying one for myself though.  Just too much trouble for one.  I think I would enjoy the meats more than the sweets.

 Dang, PC! That sounds hevenly!! When can we all come over to your place for fondue?

  Fondue is definitely not to be tried alone though I have ended up eating most of it on my own. I've never touch it since that party night. Ah well.

We used Gruyere and Emmental with a couple capfuls of Kirsch and white wine.  Made it just like you would a regular cheese sauce, but with only a teeny bit of flour and butter.  The flour helps it not 'break down' while over constant heat.  You can dip your heavier breads in different liquers before dipping in the sauce.    MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm.....yummy  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

We did fondu for the super bowl back in 2001 I liked it (but then again I like everything) then we all got on each other nerves and left the house (oh the humanity yelling over a fondu dish lol).  Anyway we haven't done it since but will try again for new years with sea food. last time it was just bread and shrimp put we didn't know what we were doing. (hence the madness, mom got upset that nobody liked it)

  No issues with viruses at all, meaning no slowing down of the computer due to an anti-virus or anti-spam program always running. A window system is also able to run dos/windows operating systems as well, so you can run all the same things that a typical pc runs.

 I fully agree that they are expensive and there isnt much software selection. But my new laptop while being loaded and super fast its actually SLOWER than my last two laptops due to all the programs running to stop spam, spyware, and viruses. Not to mention the programs are costing me over 300 per year for the licenses. With teh window you can open to run win compatable programs I can run all the same stuff I need now. I used the one that my friends wife had and it was FAST compared to mine (one year older) with no virus problems, and I was able to use all the games and programs I use now in the 'window' for windows programs.

Is my thinking wrong? I was under the impression while more expensive they had alot more bang for the buck, just with less software. When I found out she had a window for running windows programs it seemed really attractive to me.

apple computers are a lot more people friendly. They've always prided themselves in being that way. Individualistic. They come with a ton of cool features.
I don't play games on my computer so that doesn't bother me. Plus with PS3 and XBOX 360 out there the consoles have caught up with the computers and now are more powerful and better when it comes to games.

Ill probably be having another get together here at my place for New Years if Im still in town. My company seems to be forgetting they have me in school and keep sending me travel details, getting more desperate sounding too.

  Last year I had about 40 people here. Everyone seemed to be splintering so I had the party here to get all of us together on new years. It was good cause people would stop by for a while then go, or came right before new years to be with all of us. We all pitched in money (I made sure of it this time cause it got expensive) and we bought lots of food and appys. As well as 7 bottles of champagne, which didnt last long at all, lol.

  Im trying to get the Hot Tub fixed though. Theres some issues with it like no heat and leaking water from teh plumbing everywhere.

Panini is awesome indeed. The last one I had was from Death by Chocolate and that was mediocre. Still, you can't go wrong with warm bread pressed together with gooey cheese and your favorite toppings.

 Yeah I work there most of the time. No idea about the Ngondo Festival, Ive been to the sea festival and a bunch of other local things they do, but I dont know the names. You ask some of the people in the crowds there when you are trying to figure out whats going on and they dont seem to know either so I guess Im ok.

  How about you?

  Oh yeah. Magazines are incredibly expensive. It's insanity. I hardly buy them any more partly due to cost and also the fact I don't like buying paper because of the ecological effect. (I try to do my part) If I want anything, I just google it.

  I agree that magazines are expensive, some of the magazines that I used to buy got up to 8-9 dollars an issue. I still cant believe how much the books that I bought for my course are. A 300 page novel sized book is about 200 dollars, and has to come from the UK.

Easy find a flat cooking pan so you can make the quesadilla flat.
Go to the grocery store and by flour tortillas
salsa
shredded cheese
pre packaged pre made chicken

take the tortilla out
put what you want in the quesadilla, fold it over put it on the cooking pan press down on it to even it out.
Then wait for one side to get brown then flip it, and wait for that side to get brown and then you're done.

Its like making an omelet except here you are using a flour tortilla instead of eggs. Its very simple.

Speaking of tortillas, you can make your own tortilla chips.  I saw this simple recipe on tv.

  You take the tortilla, cut it in half.  On the rough side, spread olive oil.  Then cut in half and then that half in 3 triangles.  Then bake for about 10 minutes and turn over.  You can sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.  YUMMY!

    EDIT:  Darn, I forgot which side you're supposed to spread olive oil on, the outside or inside?  Ahh, do both?

 Without a doubt! Are drinks included? Or is there a limit or you pay for them yourselves?

Im just curious really as my g/f says she has to buy tickets now for drinks otherwise they are full price, while talking to other friends they get no discounts or the drinks are completely free.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Nov 22 06 07:15
 With the quesadillas, SD, do you buy the tortilla pockets or the one piece flat ones?  The chips are made from those pockets where you end up splitting them into two.  

Russ, I think that the smaller the company, the more that they could afford to pay for unlimited drinks and the 3-course dinner.  I used to work for a small company that had less than 25 staff and they paid for everything.  The bill was over $3000.

Now, the company that I'm with, usually expects 300 attendees including employees and guests.  This year, we're having 330 confirmed attendees including guests.  Our company gave both the employee and guest two free drink tickets, buffet dinner and taxi voucher if needed.  The company is forking out over $35,000 for this party!  We're lucky that we don't have to pay because some companies, make your guest pay $20.

I didn't end up making quesadillas but instead, had t-bone steak and onions.  I really really had a craving for steak.  I will be making them this weekend for sure.

Oh, those ones.  Ok.  Here, there are all kinds of tortillas.  Ones that are pocketed, ones that are whole wheat, ones made with spinach (green color), ones made with tomatoes...the list is endless.  Nothing is simple here, really.  LOL

So, you put one face down, then add the toppings then add the other on top.  Then flip over, right?  So, the cheese ends up melting and mushes everything together, right?

Ok, we made quesedeas (sp?) tonight. My gf decided that we didnt have all the right stuff so we went shopping. I ended up getting far too much but got what she wanted.

  I got the spinach (green), tomato (red) and flour thingys. Then I browned the chicken that Ishredded, and added the green red yellow peppers and onions. Seasoned with chilli pepper (not the face spraying kind) and montreal steak seasoning. Then put a drop of oil in the frying pan, open faced the tortilla, put cheese on the whole face, let it melt a bit, then added the oinion/pepper/chicken stuff and folded the tortilla and then after 30s flipped and another 30s then done. I made far too much for what I needed, lol. We ended up making about 12 of them, we only ate 1.5 each. Thanks SD!

  Purelife, her ticket was nothing, mine was 10. Then we had to buy drink tickets at 6 drinks for 10 bucks (i made her spend 30), then its a buffet dinner on the cruise, with a cab ride home at the end. Theres 260 people going.

  Ok, I guess I missed you all so goodnight! See you in the mornin.

Yup no stress at all. Its unreal. Don't have to listen to the uncles 'problems' or cousins constantly wanting to play with me. OH THE STRESS!!! Plus it sucks when you have a cousin that completely idolizes you and wants to exactly be like you.  I'm like can't you see I'm busy! I want some space! argh! If I we all went down to the farm it would be 24/7 all about my uncles bad shoulder. You know what I don't care uncle geesh. lol

First thanksgiving where I don't have to endure that. Loving it!

Did you watch any football? 3 NFL games on a weekday!!!(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Shocked/5.gif)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Nov 24 06 12:28
Nope I didn't.  I'm pretty much tired out from sports watching. I used to be a huge fan watch everything but now I think its silly.  I like watching obscure things or a hockey game whenever my teams I like are on. (which is a rarity because the NHL in the US tv wise sucks only 2 games a week)
If I had to watch football I'd watch college football but I'm pissed that the idiots will never go to a playoff format and hate these dumb 'bowl games', so stupid.

I watch the NCAA basketball tournament, thats fun to watch.

But no NFL for me I find it boring.

Greetings Gopher. Looks like an ok day today. Some sun.... I'm literally dancing on my feet everytime I see sunshine.

  Anyone know anything about grilling steaks? I've got myself a huge slab but each time I grilled the sucker, I end up with a raw middle. I want the meat to cook thoroughly (don't like red bleeding stuff) but I always end up burning the outside and not cooking the inside. Then I have to microwave the entire lot. No fun.

You mean, just do it on very low heat for a long time, then crank it up high towards the end? I thought the grill had to be really, really hot? I don't know.... getting mixed messages. I love steaks but it's a pain to do them sometimes.

You probably are getting mixed messages, Lise....because I would do exactly the opposite.  Start it high.....sear one side.....flip it.....and then as soon as it's flipped.....lower the temp.  Searing it hot is what seals in the juice.  Also, starting it on a low temp will probably make it stick to the grill.

Hey all, my other laptop, cant remember my password.

  Lise, I spent all night bbqing as I had a party here tonight again

  Three major ways to do steaks. depends on how you want them

  Sear on one side, then the other on high, then put onto low and cook. Note: put the dry seasoning like montreal steak seasoning on when you start like this when its still juicy so it cooks in. Then at the end add the sauce on and give it 30s per side with slop the sauce, flip and leave for 30s then flip and leave for 30s.

  Second, medium on both sides.. Depending on the cut and how many BTU's your 'que is, about 5.5 minutes per side. Same as before with the dry then wet seasoning.

  If you want gourmet and soft steaks.. do it the way they do in the keg and other places. Dry season your steaks when they are wet, put your bbq on three quarters heat and sear on both sides, twice per side so you get the railroad cross grid grilling. Grill one way, flip, grill, flip again so the tracks are perpendicular, then flip again putting it perpendicular.

Take out and put into your preheated oven thats at 300 deg farenheit, put your wet sauce on now. Take out and sit for 5 minutes. Serve.. just the same as they do in the keg and other steak houses. note! the steak is meat and a muscle jsut the same as other meats...

  OK, I gotta go back to my Soho and chicken that Im working on.

Thank you, Russ  for the grilling steak advice. I did mine last night and to my utter disbelief, all tips went down the drain for my steak turned up quite rare in the middle. I'd considered hitting my head with my pan if I didn't care so much for the pan. *sigh*

  Heck. If I want steak, I'm just going to have to go to the Keg.

I had it on medium low.  You're not supposed to overload the tortilla, right?  I stir fried onions, green peppers and tomatoes first.  Then, I added these on top with some tuna and shredded cheese.  Then, the other tortilla on top and flipping them, didn't work.  Things wanted to come out.  *sigh* oh well, at least it tasted okay.

Don't worry about it SD.  I think I know where my problem was.  Lower heat and I was supposed to put cheese first, then toppings and then cheese again.  I've got it now.  I shall attempt for ROUND NUMERO DEUX later this week.  I shall report my findings.  hee hee...

Potato pancakes! And my Oma came over and sat in a chair behind me as my gf and I were making them, and poked me whenever she thought I wasnt making as she would, lol.

  It was good. Some wine then tried to play a game but it didnt work so we gave up and watched tv for a bit then took her home.

  I shoveled the walk 8 times today, and just looked outside and you cant tell Ive even done it! Also its gonna freeze tonight, so make sure that theres no footprints packed onto your sidewalk or when it freezes itll turn to ice and you'll need salt. I know I will, gonna buy 5 -6 bags tomorrow.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Nov 27 06 09:20
Yes it is purelife, sorry, I call her that without thinking.

  I stirfryed my chicken with olive oil and montreal seasoning first, then added onions, the multicultural peppers, celery, etc. Kept adding some spices and olive oil, then pulled off and put the frying pan on. I used medium heat, put olive oil down, put the whole tortilla down in the pan, added cheese over the whole thing (note DONT be skimpy or stingy with the cheese), let it start to melt, then add the stir fry and flop in half. about 45s a side then and should be good to go. The tortilla should be pretty stiff and kinda browned like what Sportsdude said. Keep em on a plate in the oven at 220 deg F, then serve with salsa and sour cream.

  Thats how I created em anyhow, I want to see how SD does it though. Always something to learn and attempt!

  Im screwing around with the crock pot for tongiht.

    EDIT: Too slow! Thanks SD, thats it exactly.

Post by: Lise on Nov 27 06 03:02
I know what you're talking about, purelife. Salty duck eggs. Awesome stuff but they're so high in cholesterol (spelling) that you should only have them once in a blue moon. Boil them as you do normal eggs then slice in half. It's definitely an acquired taste.

  Steam eggs? Really easy to do. I usually use my big electric wok for the job. Just add water, a small platform for my dish to sit on. In the dish, I add three eggs (beaten), one salty duck egg (just yolk) and one century egg. Mix well together. Add pepper to taste. Steam in dish until the stuff is solid. Then just before serving a dash of soy sauce, green onions and red chillies.

  Not your typical dish that you find in the restaurant but this is pretty authentic dish from Malaysia. Look something like this one.

 [H3]I didnt know that 49er, I googled it. I thought they were all the same.[/H3] Heres an excerpt, and a link to it, lots more info.

 [H3][A href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1459145"]http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1459145[/A][/H3] [H3]鹹鴨蛋[/H3]Salty duck eggs (xian ya dan) are a common sight in the kitchen of Chinese homes. These are simply preserved whole raw duck eggs which have been brined in salty water or wrapped in a heavily salted clay for some time. Note that these eggs are different from the infamous [A title="Black egg" href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Black%20egg"]black[/A] colored [A title="Thousand year eggs" href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Thousand%20year%20eggs"]thousand year eggs[/A] (pidan) even though both can be labeled as "preserved eggs." Nor are salty duck eggs related to [A title="Chau Yep Ahn: Tea Eggs" href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Chau%20Yep%20Ahn%3A%20Tea%20Eggs"]Chinese tea eggs[/A] (cha ye dan). Also note that salty duck eggs are not the [A title="pickled eggs" href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=pickled%20eggs"]pickled eggs[/A] one sometimes sees floating in giant jars at American deli counters.  After a month of brining, the egg yolk will solidify and will be a firm spheroid. The eggs whites, however, will remain a liquid and will have absorbed much of the salt. The yolks should be rich and oily with only a slightly salty flavor. The texture is somewhat grainy and perhaps most similar to an extremely oily and soft chunk of [A title=Parmigiano href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Parmigiano"]Parmigiano Reggiano[/A]. The best quality yolks will also be slightly translucent--perhaps from the oil content--and vividly red in color. Poor quality yolks are indistinguishable from the yolks in normal hard boiled chicken eggs. Unfortunately, the best eggs will often also have whites that are nearly inedible due to the salt content.  Why duck eggs and not chicken eggs? Duck egg yolks usually have a higher oil content which is prized in the finished product. Some Chinese people also believe the shell of duck eggs is more porous and make preserving the egg much easier.

 Where and How to Buy  In North America imported salty duck eggs can be purchased at [A title="Asian Market" href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Asian%20Market"]Asian markets[/A] in styrofoam cartons of six or floating in plastic jars of brine. Until around the mid-1990's one could also purchase eggs that had been preserved using salted clay. These eggs would normally be encased in a layer of black clay which had to be rinsed off prior to cooking. However after a lead poisoning scare, this style of salted duck eggs have been a somewhat rare sight US Asian markets.  Eggs imported from [A title=Hubei href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Hubei"]Hubei[/A] Province in [A title=China href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=China"]China[/A] are traditionally considered the "best" since that region has many lakes. Ducks in that region are allowed to [A title="free range" href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=free%20range"]roam free[/A] and feed on snails and bugs in and around the water. This sort of diet allows ducks to produce more flavorful and richer eggs. Brands of eggs from Hubei will advertise the fact on their labels. However storage conditions and length of brining will greatly affect the quality of the eggs. Therefore, eggs from [A title=Taiwan href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Taiwan"]Taiwan[/A], [A title=Fuzhou href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Fuzhou"]Fuzhou[/A], or [A title=Guangzhou href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Guangzhou"]Guangzhou[/A] may be quite good as well.  Even though salty duck eggs are preserved, their quality deteriorates with time after the brining process. The yolk will "disintegrate" into the white, and one will be left with only a pale yellow splotch in the middle of the egg. Eggs like that are still edible, though.

Crickets? Nope. They're all snowed in, unfortunately.

  Hey, has anyone done miso soup? I've tried it yesterday and it..... well, it didn't taste the same as the one in Japanese restaurant. I don't know what went wrong.

Post by: purelife on Nov 28 06 11:30
I was only kidding about the crickets.....i guess you didn't get my little joke when PC said that it was quiet in here... :)

  Hmm, nope, never tried making homemade miso soup.  Did you use the prepared thingee from T&amp;T or make from scratch?

Hey all.

  Im having leftovers now that Im back at home again... pizza!

  What are you using for stock lise? I usually use the cubes and put an extra one in for the size they recommend. Then the green chives, and hunks of tofu. Only way I will eat that stuff. Did you know that theres no MEAT in tofu?

No, no. I get your cricket joke there, purelife. I guess you didn't get mine? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/13.gif)

  I don't know about the miso soup. I just bought this packet. It's Japanese. Looks like miso soup. Oh shoot.... I don't even know if it's for miso soup. ARGH!!! I gotta ask my friend.

  What brand do you guys use?

  This made me remember.. Anyone else have this? When I was growing up my dad would not turn on the heat until mid december and then only if it snowed, and off again the first week of Jan. In his mind thats when the cold season should be, not his problem if it didnt work that way. He would also say, "Cold? Put your slippers and an extra sweater on, you'll live."
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

we put the heat on here when it gets between 4 and 10 C.

Oh my dad was the SAME way.  He would always remind me to turn off the lights when not in use.  He's a freak when it comes to wasting electricity and heat.  When us girls were cold, mom included, he still wouldn't turn up the heat.  He'll be like "wear more sweaters, more socks, more slippers."  My mom just turned it up anyways and then, in the middle of the night, my dad would turn it back down.  THANK GOODNESS, I don't live there anymore, only visit!  LOL

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Nov 28 06 01:37
LOL, yep lights were a big one. Especially the flourescent ones, as they take more power to start up or so I was uh, told.

  My bro and I were given a few chances then he would remove the light bulb from our room for the day to punish us. My mother used to laugh at him and his antics. She would put a light bulb in for us before she went to bed, then remove it when she got up in the morning before he remembered he had removed the bulb and went to go put it back in.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Nov 28 06 01:38
 gosh yeah I get yelled at for talking at my dad while he's eating.
Parents are bizarre. Mom comes in to pray with me everyday telling 'how I'll get through this' but she knows perfectly well I'm not religious anymore. I think she can't accept that.  She goes 'I know you don't trust the church anymore but its not all bad' I'm like yeah right, religion has become evil (although I don't say that to her face)

There's a quote from the late Olof Palme former PM of Sweden:

"Human beings will find a balanced situation when they do good things not because God says it, but because they feel like doing them."


I've taken that to heart.

Er..... OK, SD.

  Speaking of light bulbs, is anyone going to the Festival of Lights at the Stanley Park? I want to go but it's tough with the kiddies. Went last year and even though we had tickets bought online, we had to wait like 1 hour in line for a ride that last less than 20 mins.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

My evening is going well, Russ.  And you?  My cat got his collar off and his stitches taken out so we are both very relieved.

  I do dread going to work tomorrow if it is still as icy on the side roads.  I had a bit of trouble getting out of the parking lot today.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Nov 28 06 06:21
I've lots of things going for men. Firefighters are lovely to see. *swoon - damsel in distress*

  Hey Ms. kitten. Sorry to hear about your icy situation. Same here. Blasted sidewalks are iced all over the place. I thought ppl are supposed to clean the sidewalk so we can all walk safely. Aren't they obligated to clean their path? I know I do it.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Nov 28 06 06:28
I always did the entire side walk in my culd e a sac I lived on.  My nieghbours were all older 80's 90's so I thought they'd like to be able to walk to their mailbox.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Nov 28 06 08:33
Sorry miss kitten, I got a call from a damsel in distress.. my girlfriend needed a ride lol.

  Good to hear your evenings ok, likewise to Lise too bad about the ice. Is your parkade on an upslope or down? Id assume down.. Ask your apartment to salt the accessway, they are liable as it is there entrance. Is your vehicle a front wheel or rear wheel drive? If its rear wheel, load up your truck with weights, if not, put some more weight in the vehicle regardless, more weight will give you a heavier stance = better traction.

  Yes Lise, they are responsible to clean their walks in front of their businesses and houses. I bought ten bags of salt for that very reason. If someone walking by slips and falls causing injury the owner or business that uses those sidewalks are liable for everything! Moreso if its a government employee like a mailman, you might as well quit living.

  Although even after salting all that, I was walking around the back of the house and I hadnt realized that water from the melting snow onthe roof had dripped over the frozen solid gutters and drizzled onto the sidewalk, washing away the salt.It was like glass. Can you see what happened? I slipped and literaly my legs flew up in the air and my head hit first. My cup of coffee went all over my jacket and went through into my nice white collared shirt making me scream like a girl from the hot coffee. My cigarette got forgotten about until I felt a sharp pain on top of the warm coffee on my leg, hmm, nice black mark on my nice newer blue jeans. That wasnt the worst part. My neighbor and his kids noticed and were laughing, that was the worst of it.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Nov 28 06 08:44
What a nightmare time you had, Russ!  Are you okay now?  No concussion or anything?

  I live in an older building and parking is outside.  The walks were cleared but the driveway wasn't.  It is an upslope to the street so it was a little difficult to get the momentum going.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Nov 28 06 08:44
somebody should do the drive way at the complex!

I agree with SD, but most things like that dont seem to get done in Vancouver. I see what you mean about the lot, I can picture it anyhow lol.

  No, no real injuries other than my pride. And having to go back inside to change and grab another cup of coffee.

I used to live in an un-incorporated part of town which means the county plowed the roads and the county is mainly concerned about highways so the roads would never get done.  Made for some fun driving sometimes felt like you were out on a country road not in the middle of an area of 1.5 million people lol.

I actually heard on the news tonight, that people are not only responsible for clearing the walks, but that it must be done by 10:00 am.  It's the law.  I alway thought it was the only right thing to do, but I wasn't aware that it was the law.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kingy on Nov 28 06 10:15
i think that law applies more toward the cars that idle in front of schools waiting to pick up their children or loading zones and such but yea, unless the police are there waiting with a stopwatch, it cant really be enforced properly.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 28 06 11:05
I don't think the law about clearing your walkways is in place to be enforced, but would surely be a deciding factor in a lawsuit.  If someone were to break their neck in front of your home at 5am, it would have less impact (in a court of law) than if it were after 10am.....meaning it may have been preventable if you used a reasonable amount of effort, within a reasonble period of time,  to make the walk safe.

This way, I'll just have to do a little warm-up on the woodstove.

Good thinking PC! Im jealous about you still having a woodstove. We didnt use it but we had one as well as two wood firplaces. We had to take them out due to insurance reasons. The two fireplaces were replaced with gas ones.

  Do you have a generator for in case the power goes out? For big things like freezer, fridge, and lighting?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 29 06 09:05

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 29 06 09:11
Just typed a response to your last post, and it came back with 'message body left empty' and it disappeared.

  Anyway, I'll try again.  We don't have a generator.  Wood heat is our only source of heat, so we always have a good supply of wood.  We stuck a half dozen rubbermaid totes outside a few days ago with about 6 or 8 inches of water in them.  They're frozen solid, so if we need to transfer freezer stuff,  without the bears getting into things, we can.

I just restocked my candle supply......700 tea lights from JYSK.....lol

  Sorry you had to get rid of your woodstove.....it would have been comforting to have the back-up.

She had an authentic indian breakfast
had a chinese lunch
went to that culinary school that offers 5 star dinners at a cheap price by Granville (Pacific Culinary something?)
Then had a coupon to death by chocolate and had the signature 'death by chocolate' dish
Only spent 20 dollars US

Hiya back purelife     [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/c025.gif" border=0]  I'm just enjoying the snow, and the change of pace.  I haven't been to work for the whole week.  (that's going to be some kind of pathetic pay cheque)  I like power outages and being stuck at home.  It makes you think differently and do things differently.

  When you don't have power, you wash the floor instead of vacuum.

You dig out the old keyboard, pop in a few batteries and you play, instead of listen to the radio.

The dusty board games, or cards come out, instead of watching TV.

You get a greater sense of satisfaction when you cook a simple meal on the woodstove or bar-b, than cooking an elaborate dinner on the stove.

  I'm loving it.  The lights have dimmed a few times this morning, but I'm sure we'll lose power at some point today.

I've never felt the need for a generator....not even for a moment.  I just sit back and enjoy the absence of all the white noise.  A generator would ruin the peace.  I can't think of a thing that I miss when the power is out.

 Why would your boyfriend do this? To confuse you?

    I guess so PC, we have two older generators that we have around for other uses, that we have used to power stuff when we lost our power once before.

  Also to what someone else said about cooking, if your power goes out you can still use natural gas if you get it.. We do. Alot of our stuff is natural gas powered, and can be used with mechanical automation if there is no power to it. IE, the fireplaces, stoves, hot water heater, bbq, heaters.

The island around the 'hump' and north island usually get a fair bit of snow as well as up the interior of bc. I drove up to kelowna one time to help someone move, up there no snow. On the coquihalla (sp?) it was down to one lane each way and there was 7 feet of snow on either side of the lanes. It was awesome, I took some pictures but I dont know where they are so dont ask.

 Ah I see. Yeah I think you are in for 'ice'.  When we had that blizzard about 8 years back it snowed 20 inches then freezing rain put another inch on it yikes! funny thing was that that was the last el nino year until this year. Apparently El Nino is the strongest its ever been on record.  More of this is to come I bet.

lol Russ.   We use ours a lot....power or no power.  If I'm doing corn in the summer,  a big pot of water comes to a boil a lot faster than my stove.  Lobster pot or deep fry gets done outside.  No stink or steam inside.  And when the power is out, you almost feel a little smug, out there cooking bacon and eggs, while the english muffins are toasting on the grill.   Not to mention COFFEE !!!!!!!

side burner? Whats that?

lol typical saint louis weather we will miss everything of course:
1 to 2 inches
70 miles away a foot or more

last time it snowed was in winter of '04 pathetic.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Nov 29 06 11:29
That doesnt sound that bad PC. I take it you have one of those cast iron skillets for doing your bacon n eggs? I have an old one from my parents, but I bought an aluminum one to take camping with me, so I cook my bacon and sausages on it. I cook my eggs in a cast iron frying pan! I found a chinese store downtown with NEW old stock of cast iron frying pans, bought all four.

  Thinking about it, I usually make beer onions for my burgers as well as other doodads, I might have to try it again soon. Well, not right now, Ill freeze to the grill.

  SD, mine is a few years old but its similar to this one. Got a burner on the right side facing it, with a flap on top so when closed you can place stuff on top of it. On the left side facing it, its a small table with a drawer unit in it, and a removable rotisserie.

oh an outdoor grill I see never heard it being called a 'side burner' or something.  Yeah if it ever snowed a lot some winter (never likely to happen) I'd love to grill outside.  It look funny but I've always thought that would be cool.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Nov 30 06 12:16
no, the bbq is the outdoor grill, and on the side of the bbq under a flap is a propane burner like on a stove so you can cook with a pot or a frying pan.

does it? I orginally thought it would be to much.  Thought of the idea during spanish class when we were talking about food.  I'd but everything in the skillet first then I'd put the eggs on top. I figured thats how to do it because when ever I order this dish at Denny's thats how they do it.

Just trying to picture what your property would look like with all the snow, big trees...*Sigh*.

  I know all my life that I lived in Burnaby, I don't remember as much snow as they got all at once recently.

  Calgary got pretty cold for awhile. -30, four nights ago or so. broke a record. Back to normal now.

I don't remember cold like that since I went to school here. Didn't bother me much, I hid indoors and drank..er ummm..studied..

Hello CK, didnt realize you were over here, recognize you from DV.

  I dont remember it snowing here like it did since I was a little kid. Although my sense of much was probably a lot different back then.

  Is negative 30 a record in Alberta? I remember being in Red Deer on vacation visiting friends about 5 years ago and there was a flash freeze, it got to neg 27. Never been in something like that before, bit of a system shock.

Hi Russ and sports!

Yeah, I went to university here a few years ago and it was c-c-cooold. So dry though. I feel like the Emperor with all that static electricity coming out of my hands...(star wars geek here).

I moved here almost 2 years ago and the other night was the coldest I felt in a long time. I walk to work, so I prepare for it.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Dec 01 06 08:56
The coldest I've ever been in is between -5 to -10 C with a stiff wind sitting around in the morning waiting for deer to come by deer hunting with my cousin. (I watch but basically nothing comes around so we just talk)  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Dec 01 06 09:00
The news said on Tuesday morning it was -30 w/ a windchill of -42+. Yeah, I got to know my fireplace better that day. This is abnormal for November. my and the boy took a day off that day and relaxed at home.

The crazy thing about Calgary, the Chinooks. The temperature changes by the hour here. I seen it jump from -30 to +20 overnight here. I like it, but it turns the streets into instant slush.  Some people really get migraines too with the quick temperature change.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Yeah I know what you mean by temperature change.  2 days ago it was 21 C here then 5hrs later it was -3 C and sleeting.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Dec 01 06 09:06
lol got confused on the coldest I've felt.  I threw papers with the windows open and the heat blasting in -5F which is -20 C but it feels much colder when you're driving.  Feels like driving with the top down in the cold. Your face starts to freeze, hands can't move.  

The deer hunting time was around the same temperature but I was sitting on a cold rock most of the time which means my butt got wet.

I went to Manitoba once for an environmental conference. It reached -46. That was the coldest I have ever been. Luckily, there was no wind, just Arctic air.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Dec 01 06 09:11
 Well when those temps do come (about once every year for a day or two) they call it the 'alberta clipper'.  It only gets really cold here if the storm/winds come from the north (from Alberta) there's nothing to get in its way. There are no trees in North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Northern Missouri. BOOM it becomes a meat locker here.  Only happens when the jet stream is very far south usually during the winter it hovers around us hence the unpredictable weather. Hot one day cold the next.

If the storm comes from the west and Colorado its going to die before it gets here. This storm came from the Northwest hence we get snow.

A lot of Winterpeg's cold friged weather has to do with Lake Winnipeg.  Cold wind blowing on cold water brings colder temps and freezing wind. Its like a natural A/C, except during the winter.

Kitten, he DOES do dishes.  I have often said when people ask if I have a dishwasher, I say ....yes, I have one of those lovely ball-bearing dishwashers......nuff said.

  Purelife, a grilled ceasar is truly yummy.  It doesnt SOUND yummy, but it is.  The romaine is quartered lengthwise, and brushed with olive oil.  It's actually grilled for 1 to 2 minutes per side, then dressed as normal with croutons, parmesan and ceasars dressing. (leave the quarters whole when serving)  I thought I'd hate this.....the very idea of warm lettuce....ptewwwiiii.    It is SO good, and everyone whom we have ever served it to, loves it.  That yummy smoky char flavour with a ceasar ?????  Perfect

I recall when hubby said what he was making, I believe I said "I'll pass thank you"   But everyone ooooo'd and ahhhhh'd, so I decided to try it.  For the most part, the lettuce stays crispy and the cold dressing and parmesan take the heat out immediately.  It's just that little bit of char that makes it so yummy.

Good morning, CK.  Nice to see you again.  I'm thinking about the coffee that just finished brewing.  It smells SO good when I first get up.  As you can see, it's Lazy Monday for me.  Did you have a good weekend?

Weekend was great.

bought a nice tobogan sled and spent the weekend sledding with my son and some friends.

had a fire in a park and made it a wiener roast for the kids. hot chocolate and a lot of playing in the snow.

  It was surprisingly good exercise!

  I am not down it is Monday, I am still waking up, and I agree, coffee in the morning smells like heaven!

well, it is supposed to get really Chinooky (I am not sure if that is a word), here and melt all the snow by the weekend. I wish it would just stay around -5 to -10 to keep the snow powdery!

Post by: kitten on Dec 04 06 08:35
That sounds like you had a great time with the kids.  You're a GOOD daddy!

  I won't regret seeing the snow disappear.  It created too much havoc here.  But I am sorry that the picturesque view will be lost to you, P.C.  Here we see ugly blackened piles of snow lining the roads.....not at all pretty.

Well, Im missing the snow and watching all the other funny drivers.

  I JUST took my Toy through airscare, passed of course, and now Im relaxing.. Winter camping up at the hotsprings again this weekend. Four days this time.

Im looking forward to going with my truck this time.. been working on it for over 6 months now, feels great to finally drive it!

I'm glad you passed with no trouble.  Sometimes I get the impression that those machines are rigged.  I've had the experience of failing in one, only to pass in another with no work done in between.  You must be having fun driving your TOY.  Have you managed to rig up the heated shower yet?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 04 06 01:26
Hello kitten!

Yes I am having alot of fun driving it. It has morphed since the last pictures so Ill see about updating so you can laugh at it. I just placed the order for the heat exchanger so I havent started on the shower yet, by the time it gets here I will probably be gone away for work again so it'll be a project when I get back.

  I agree with the aircare. It has been proven again and again. The equipment gets old and uncalibrated, not to mention if you havent had a tune up with oil change, or your car isnt hot it will give higher readings.

  All I did to ensure I pass is to change the oil, retard teh timing, and take it out on the highway (fun!!) for about a half hour burn, then take it through. I passed on almost zero's.

  Hows things with you otherwise?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 04 06 01:37
Things are fine with me, apart from some bruises from the fall.

  I don't understand how to retard the timing on a car.  A mechanic's job?  Also, is the Pennzoil Emissions Reducer a good thing to put in the car, or will it cause problems down the road?  I don't have to take the car through this year, but I'd like to be prepared.

  Have you any further idea on when you'll be shipping out?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Erm, for Lunch it's "Sunlee Crab Flavored Rice Stick".

Post by: Russ on Dec 04 06 01:54
Hopefully they go away as most bruises do! (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/13.gif)

  Yes, its usually a mechanics job to reduce or retard the timing. I do it myself lol.

The reduce emissions stuff is like an oil stabilizer, cant hurt it. I put Lucas Oil Stabilizer in my vehicles which also have a Teflon additive, reduces wear and cleans the engine internally. But I would still change the oil right before going for a testing. If the oil is dirty, the hydrocarbons emissions will be higher. My thinking is that an oil change is like 25 which is cheap, and it should be changed every 12 months or 6k km anyhow. The more you change the oil, the better your engine will be in essence.

    I dont know yet, I finally got the letter from my company that I needed, but it will still take a few weeks to get a new lisence. I wont be able to continue with my exams this time home however, so it looks like next time home. I dont expect to go back until the first week of January regardless. I already told them that as well.

  Sorry, gotta run here. I have to pick up my dad, lol. My mother had words with him and drove off leaving him there.

Hiya, Kitty.
Whenever I visit this thread after a few weeks away I have to decide whether to try and read previous posts (which would mean going back over pages of content to get the proper context) or just wading in with my big size 13s like an ignorant jackass. Can you guess which method I usually choose?

You're waaaay too kind.
Unfortunately I've got a pathological case of the lazies, which is why I always ask "what did I miss" in the hopes that some kind soul will helpfully encapsulate a month of posts into a couple sentences, or at the very least an easily digestible paragraph.

You know, I've been away from my computer for a week or so and was forced to take public transit and bring along a stack of good books. READING. I had forgetten what it was like to actually read a WHOLE BOOK    :O

Spending too much time on the computer, I've discovered, encourages a lack of attention span, at least in me. If I want to know what's happening in Israel (or whatever), I hit a blog and quickly gulp down a short article. It just hit me recently that the Internet is not a good substitute for more in-depth study. I think it leads to shallow understanding of world events and intellectual laziness. The problem is, I'm hooked     :(
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 04 06 02:22
I've noticed the same thing about being hooked on the Internet.  I probably spend far too much time looking up snippets of information that interest me, while missing the larger picture.  I still read, but I'm down to two or three books a week where it used to be a lot more.

  You have been missed here, tenkani.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I have, but it was some time ago.  Isn't he more into the horror genre, or have I confused him with someone else?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: weird al on Dec 04 06 04:01
 This quote  (below) from Harlan Ellison  is actually faint praise. Sheckley was way deeper and way funnier than the Brothers. I found his writing to be more satire than sf, although he had a good handle on the genre obviously. He was a humorist, gently satirizing American mores.

Whoot 4 sci-fi!!
I've been reading mostly political books lately but LOVE sci-fi. A few weeks back I picked up a novel called Bolo!, written by, David Weber. I just grabbed it for fun, since it sounded like it might be a little superficial (nothing wrong with superficial, it can be a great de-stresser). It was actually a solid, well-written book if you like military sci-fi with a splash of classic space opera.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 04 06 04:47
I've read it too.  I love his writing.  The stories move along without getting caught up in small details.  I think I've managed to read all his books, ever since I discovered the Honor Harrington series.  Good stuff.  I didn't think I would like martial science fiction, but besides Weber, David Drake is another good one.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Dec 04 06 05:08
I was lukewarm on Drake.
I only read one of his novels (don't remember the name), but it seemed that he didn't bother much with really fleshing out his characters and giving them a heart. Conversely, there were a few "scenes" in Bolo! where I was on the verge of tears    (http://www.motleycrow.com/ImageHost/icon_smile_blush.gif)

I'm a softy when it comes to robot on human love.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 04 06 05:12
So am I, tenkani.  Have you read any of Isaac Asimov's robot stories?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Dec 04 06 05:27
Actually no! I love science fiction but there are startling and embarrassing gaps in my classic sci-fi reading list.
Do you recommend that series?
I have to admit that I liked many of the novels in the Aliens and Aliens versus Predator series. Some of them were shoddily written, but I've always been drawn to the darkness and desperation of that particular fictional universe. Plus, as Dane Cook noted, there is something damn sexy about an angry wet thing that hisses at you before dining on your liver.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 04 06 05:34
I haven't read any of those.  Do you happen to remember the author?  Right now I'm reading The Mammoth Book of Awesome Comic Fantasy.  It is a collection of short and very funny stories.  It's perfect for reading a couple of stories whenever you aren't busy.  I think you would get a kick out of it.

That mention of Isaac Asimov reminded me of John Sladek,

  [A href="http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/s/john-sladek/"]http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/s/john-sladek/[/A]

  who once referred to Isaac thus: "I-click-as-I-move". I only read a couple of Sladek's works:

Mechasm

Thanks kitten, no I dont think its too permanent lol. They seem to do this once in a while, they just laugh it off later.

  I have a few authors that I like, Sci Fi is where its at.

[A href="http://www.keithlaumer.com/"]http://www.keithlaumer.com/[/A]

  Charles Ingrid, The sand wars!!! Older but one of the best, I recently reordered them all in hardcover.

[A href="http://www.yetanotherbookreview.com/sand_wars.htm"]http://www.yetanotherbookreview.com/sand_wars.htm[/A]

    Im one of the type that walks into chapters and looks at all the Sci Fi books by Baen (the best) and buys them if the back sounds interesting.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 04 06 10:23
It's nice to see another science fiction buff.  Russ, did you know that Baen has a free library on the Internet?  I googled Baen Free Library, and came up with a lot of free full-length books by various authors.  I've read them all and there were quite a few good ones.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 04 06 10:32
No I did not! Thanks kitten! Thats awesome!

  I usually buy books to take on the ships with me from Value Village, then leave them onboard for others. My bags are full coming back with trinkets and duty free without books. I usually find good ones there, as not many sci fi buffs seem to shop there, I go through once every two weeks. Usually I bring three new computer games and 30 books with me. Then trade them off with others on the ships. I also copy all the new dvds Ive bought and bring them.

      Did you ever get the top on your car fixed?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 04 06 10:36
I don't buy too many books, as it is cheaper to go to the library.  My only fear is that my favourite authors will develop writer's block at the same time and I'll have to look for new authors.

  It is the door of my car that has the leak, but I'm STILL waiting for the stripping to arrive from back east.  My mechanic has been in touch with them, but they don't seem to be in much of a hurry.  So it still gets the plastic wrap every rainy night.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 04 06 10:44
Im a bit of a hoarder lol. Its a mental thing I guess, I like to own them and then read them again. But I have two book cases full as well as a closet of books. I find value village great when they have the sales, you can get a book for just over a buck.

  Thats too bad about your door seal, I take it its your driverside door? Has your mechanic or yourself tried an autowrecker? I know its used but it can sometimes be good and cheap compared to the price and wait.

  I had to get new holdown seatbolts for my toyota as well as a new transfercase output seal. It took two weeks to get the blasted things from Japan!!! None left in N America on their system. For those I didnt want to get aftermarket or use used as it was safety and environmental concerns..

  Best of luck anyways! Hopefully it isnt too long as this is the time of year you need that. I hope your carpet and stuff inside doenst get too wet or itll get all mildewy and corrosion will take place inside. Once the inside of your car has that and a moisture buildup itll take months to get rid of that. I know.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 04 06 11:00
The leak is on the passenger side.  I had a couple of bad experiences with auto wreckers.  They wouldn't take back the defective parts they sold me, and told me it is buyer beware.  All sales final.  Another one said I would have to take it from a vehicle myself, and he wouldn't guarantee the condition.  

  I have about 80 or ninety books, but I've re-read them to the point where I'm thinking of giving them away.  They aren't all science fiction, and a lot of them I bought second-hand.

  Where it comes to safety concerns, new parts are always the best.  You can't take chances with a faulty motor or brakes.

  Unfortunately the carpets are already wet.  When the weather dries out I will try to get a long extension cord and use my hairdryer to dry it out a little, but eventually the carpets will need to be replaced, at least on the passenger side.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 04 06 11:08
Really? Some are funny but most of them will warranty the parts if you buy and get a receipt. If you pay cash and state no receipt then its usually alot cheaper and no warranty. But I go to one wrecker now normally and I know the guy very well, so I get good deals and no problems on returns anymore.

  I wouldnt replace the carpet kitten. Pull the carpet up on the passenger side when you get the leak fixed and dry it underneath, thats where the smell comes from, once thats dry you are good to go. Then get the small upholstery carpet cleaner you can buy in an aerosal can with a yellow head that has a bristle side to it, you can get it from Lordco, Napa, or ukranian tire. Use that to shampoo it. Ive gotten my carpets soaked a few times, and usually do this

  You got lotsa books too? Not all mine are sci fi either... wanna trade for abit lol!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 04 06 11:14
That sounds a lot cheaper than replacing the carpet.  Thanks!

  I'll have to make a list of some of the titles and PM them to you.  I know I have a couple of Heinlein books, and Andre Norton.  Can't think of the others just now.

Mongolie Grill is really nice.  You can create your own food and the chef cooks it right in front of you on the grill and you can chose any sauce.  It's awesome.  I think that there's a dinner buffet for cheap.   I haven't been to the other one that you mentioned Lise.

I've tried a Mongolian restaurant but that was closer to Bayswater and Broadway. A small dinky place but it was fast and quick. Interesting concept though I hate to be the one grilling your food in front of a hot plate all day long.

  Have you tried U-Grill at the Metrotown Mall? Awesome but pricey for fast food.

Really kitten? My dad is on meds for high blood pressure and they dont seem to stop him from anything. Actually thinking now, he drinks a fair bit of pomegrant (SP?) juice. Althought thats from the encouragement of the 'warden' (what he calls my mother).

  The double bacon cheeseburger was GOOD! They have a choice now for fries so I got poutine and rootbeer, if Im going for the gut bomb I figured I might as well do it right.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Well, Ill tell you what I do PC. Doesnt work the best but its faster than clicking back one by one.

  Look at your browser address for this page:

  Where it says:  topic=21.5880

Thats topic 21, and 5880 replies at the start of the page that is showing.

I change the browser to something like: 2880, so it looks like this:

[A href="http://discoverseattle.net/forums/index.php?action=post;topic=21.2880;num_replies=5889"]http://discoverseattle.net/forums/index.php?action=post;[FONT color=#000000]topic=21.2880[/FONT];num_replies=5889[/A]

At the end: num_replies=5889

Is the post number of the last post to the thread.

  Still trial and error to find the page but a good guestimate will get you pretty close.

  Alot of the other websites I frequent you can type the page number in and it will go to it.

Im having the same issue here Lise. Nice little brown landmines all over the place. When there was snow it was always nice to get a nice crunch when you stepped blind through the snow.

  Im just going to wait for a few more days, then turn the water back on to the outside faucets and blast all the landmines into the gardens, they need all the help they can get right now anyway, lol.

Hi Purelife

  I have been several handles all of which have been hijacked.  Some purposely others not so.  There have been some times when I come on the board and someone new is using my handle and sharing opinions that I don't necessarily agree with.  But then others think that it's me.  

  I most was a lurker after having a really bad handle hijack about 3 years ago.  But after lurking a bit on this board I realized that this board doesn't have any of that garbage!  

  DV is really down the tubes and I don't know why they're not doing anything about it.

 Pu-ehr tea is one of the only (maybe THE only) tea that is intentionally aged (sometimes for decades) in a cave before consumption. The older the pu-ehre, generally speaking, the more expensive it is. It is usually brownish red in color and has a very unique, earthy taste. It took me a few weeks to get used to it. It sometimes comes formed into cute little bowl (bird's nest) shaped nuggets.

What is chicken balti? Yeah, I could look it up but...

Good morning all.

  This morning, I was late 45 minutes into work because of switch problems on the skytrain.  My co-worker was telling me that this problem was on since last night at around 8ish.  It has been over 12 hours and the problem still isn't fixed!  OMG!  

  People were crazy pushing people.  One guy made a girl cry on the Broadway platform.  How pathetic.  

  In the UK, there are tons and tons of skytrain lines with minimal problems and we only have 2!  Time to update our systems so that we have fewer problems.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Dec 08 06 04:01
Oh yes, ice sculptures every night at the buffet table. A different theme each night. They totally go out the place for you. Then again, you're paying quite a fair bit so one expects only the best from the buffet table on a cruise.

  You should try going on a cruise with your BF. Very romantic. The only thing I don't like about the cruise is the sea sickness (I got it the moment I stepped on the boat) and the pounds you can gain easily simply because food is so accessible. Think 24 hours round the clock!

  Select cruises when cruise lines are repositioning their ships.......A couple of years back I took a trans-Alantic cruise from Miami to the Mediterranean, like a 17 day cruise, for around $1,500 with a ocean view cabin.  Around May of each year the ships need to be reposition in the Mediterranean for the crusies there

We're going out to lunch today because one of our beloved office-mates is moving to another room and we are giving him a going away party. It sounds like people want Chinese so I'm guessing we'll go to a local Chinese place, which is fine by me (although I prefer Thai food).

  Butterfly Effect was not too bad. Kinda weird. Haven't watched the Lake House. Am not really interested in mushy romantic movies.

  I came up to Vancouver over the weekend and I can't believe that there's still snow up there!  Crazy!  

  It's raining today in Seattle.  What's it doing up there?

  I saw the moving Click over the weekend.  Adam Sandler.  Started out being the typical funny light hearted movie but really really deepened and actually had a lot of meaning.  My husband now is saying that it's "affected him".  lol!  

  Anyone seen it?

I went camping to the hot springs again this past weekend. Took my own Toy this time.. great times! Had a few problems, I got stuck after a HUGE puddle, and one of my buddies slid into a bridge over a river cause of the snow. He tore a tranny cooling line and lost his oil, I had to make a 5 hour run into town and back to get some new line and oil.

  Exams arent happening until Jan for me. I didnt get a verification letter from my company for my sea time so I couldnt get it approved... I got the letter today and Ill take it in tomorrow.

  Oh yeah! I lost my lisence plate off the rear of my truck. I took the front one and put it in the back so it looked like I had one.. but how do I go about getting a new one. Do I just walk into an insurance place and say gimme gimme gimme? What do I have to pay? Will I have to get a new set of plates?

Hey Ally

  I haven't seen the Click yet but will watch it soon as my b/f brought that movie and Take the Lead yesterday.  He said that movie was really good.  I'm not an Adam Sandlers fan but I'll take his word for it.  

  Hey Russ

  Hmmm, I think that there'll be a charge.  My friend once got her licence plate stolen (she lives in Surrey) and she reported it but am not too sure if she paid for new licence.  Camping at Harrison's again, huh?  Must be the new makeout point that I'm not aware of.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/12.gif)

Hey Russ

  It's really simple to get new plates.  I used to do it once a year because I was a parking ticket monger and changing my plates once a year kept me from being towed by impark, city of vancouver, and many other parking companies that hate me.  

  I no longer get them though because if they come in the mail my husband won't be too happy so I keep a container of change under my seat and use my credit card on the ones that I can.

  New plates: $18 plus about 5 minutes of time to screw off and on.  Just go into any Autoplan place.

  I don't know what new plates cost in Seattle.  I still have BC plates.

      EDIT: Thanks Ally, I thought it was like that. I knew new plates were something like 18, wasnt sure I would have to get a new set though.

He was!  I did see it.  Tea Leoni and Penelope Cruz.  Right?  Often movies that we watch are on a Friday night with a bottle of wine.  Makes for fuzzy memories.  Although now that I'm breastfeeding I no longer drink wine on Friday nights which makes for better memories of movies!

I sear it and then bake it.  I use some Cajun seasoning to spice it up.  I have parmesan and bacon bits in the mashed potatoes.

I'm using frozen corn, but I don't cook it long, and then I just use pepper and Becel margarine.

Mmm, I havent tried the potatoes with parmesan and bacon bits! That sounds good.

  I have to admit Im not a fan of the cajun seasoning, probably cause I have over used it!, but I now use montreal seasoning on almost everything.

Alas..no T Ho's in Washington.

  I love Timmy's.  The coffee is FAAAR better than Starbucks.  I never drink Starbucks drip coffee.  I like their latte's, cappucino's and espresso's though.

  Every time I cross the border heading to Timmy's is one of the first things that I do.  I usually go to the "do it yourself" Timmy's at 96th Ave and 168th in Surrey or I get off the freeway and go to the big Timmy's on United Boulevard in Coquitlam.  

  I buy the big canister of Timmy's and have it in my house.  I just got an automatic coffee maker.  I just press a button and presto-chango....coffee right into my cup.  No filter to change.  Nada.  Every few days I just empty the little compressed pucks.  Wicked invention.        
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 12 06 11:05
Hmm, I haven't tried Timmie's coffee but I will some time because I heard that their beans are the best because they are somewhat organic and processed differently than Starbucks?  

  It's funny because someone wrote an article profiling the type of person who would be drinking Timmie's coffee versus Starbucks.  It read that a Timmie's coffee person would be a soccer mom who was always on the go, who wouldn't have time and a Starbucks mom is more sophisticated.  Something like that...I can't remember too well.

Do you remember that donut place that opened up in Delta for the first time?  (I can't remember the name, but it was several years ago).  Anyways, this donut place was only in the States and everyone down at the States loves this place and then someone duplicated it down here in Delta.  Gosh, what's the name?  Can't remember...

  Anyways, now, that donut place isn't doing so well.  Oh, KRISPY KREME!  I remember now.  Oh, it was crazy busy for the first few days where there were long line ups and helicopter lights shining.  BUSY!  Now, it's dead quiet.  LOL, can't compete with Timmie's across the street.

Krispy Kreme's downfall is their coffee.  It's just not Timmy's.

  I have a Krispy Kreme about 10 minutes away from me here in Seattle.  

  When the light is on(about twice a day the light goes on for hot donuts) it means that they're making fresh hot donuts and you can come get them now!!

  It's funny seeing all the cars turn in to get them.

  I have to say though.  A Krispy Kreme that is still hot hot and gooey....oh it's good.  Almost sinful.  

  Although I try not to eat them more than a few times a year.  If I ever have a hope in hell of fitting back into my 26" jeans Krispy Kreme's are a no no!

  A Manx cat? Hm. Could be. Trying to see harder. No tail in sight. Is the cat holding a cane? Regardless, it's a cute kitty.

  Man...... we're all about the catz nowadays. *furry smiley*

Hey all, have I mentioned I hate going downtown driving yet?

  &lt;rant on&gt;

Cause I do. It took me TWO HOURS to get downtown and park, I passed by where I wanted to go within 20 minutes of when I left home, then all the accidents and construction and one way blasted streets turned it into a circus. I dont care about how much it cost, but having a 2 hour limit on the meter was frustrating, it didnt help I forgot where I parked. Finally got to where I had to be, and they went on lunch and locked the door, so I couldnt even get the papers to start prefilling out the renewal forms. I handed them in finally after getting in, and had to go back two hours later, and it wasnt ready! Then to top it all off, a guy had parked in front of me too close to get out, not to worry cause behind me was no parking so I could get out right? Wrong! A blasted Vancouvers Finest parked behind me so I couldnt get out! I waited for forty five minutes stewing, and a note about this to everyone reading this, when the cop shows back up, dont call him an idiot.

&lt;rant off&gt;

   The only highlight was I got to walk all of Robson from Burrard to Denman and back watching all the eyecandy. I had Sushi at the place a little ways in from Burrard along Robson. I dont know the name but it was pretty good... The guy doing the chopping and preparing behind the counter would stop talking to me though, too nice.

    So how was everyone elses day so far?

  EDIT: Hey all, yes its a pussy cat.. dancing, with glowsticks in its paws. No I dont know what type it is. I got it cause everyone else has cats in their avaters it seems.. except for gopher whos a leprechaun, lise's who scares me by glaring at me with a weapon, and purelifes self portait.

Oh bummer Russ.  Yeah, driving around downtown (AND RICHMOND - way worse than Downtown) is TERRIBLE.  I, as a pedestrian, always see some sort of chaos and I can't imagine driving during the day in downtown (and Richmond).  

  Oooo...I like eyecandy too.  ;)

Post by: Lise on Dec 13 06 04:08
Hm. Yes. Don't call the cop an idiot. You're not going to make the situation any better. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Downtown was awful on Monday night. Hubby took an extra hour or so to reach home due to power failure. Took him 20 mins just to exit his own parking lot.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 13 06 04:20
I agree purelife, I dislike driving in Richmond more due to drivers than due to traffic. At least in Richmond the streets make sence to my hamsterwheel. Although Im in Richmond more than Downtown.. More to Home Depot, Costco, and Silvercity Riverport only. Hmm, I feel like a movie tongiht now.. thanks purelife!

    The officer was more interested in laughing at me when he found out I had been sitting in my truck for 45 minutes than anything else. He also thought my theory on downtown was funny.

    I didnt realize that downtown had ANY power outages? Where abouts was that at? Thats too bad it took him so long, I take it that transit isnt an option?When I worked in coal harbour for a while, I would drive from my place to the skytrain station that had the best parking then go from there to avoid the circus in there.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Dec 13 06 04:28
Yeah, it was bad where he was. I think it may be the only block where he was affected.

  That movie with Will Smith looks great, purelife. The pursuit of Happyness. I like Will Smith. He's one fine actor.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 13 06 04:34
I dont yet, Im looking online now, Im not a fan of will smith though. I think it stems from my not liking his Fresh Prince of Bel Air sitcom.

  Yeah, thats probably it lise. It was only a small area affected so it wasnt that big of a deal. Could have even been an internal problem not affected by the winds.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Fresh Prince was funny! What are you talking about? I love him in Fresh Prince. He cracked me up in Men In Black with Tommy Lee Jones. (another fine actor)

  I went to Bonn's off broadway for my grease intake. I did have the 2.95 breakfast, so its not that bad.

    Its snowing now PC? Wow, we were told theres supposed to be many more winds as well. Port Alberni still doesnt look good apparently, Im heading there around the 22nd I believe.

  Are you going to try for Universal Studio as well? There's another theme park close to it... Island of Adventure or something like that. If you like big rides, that's the one to go to.

  We went to Busch Garden there. It's an African theme park with one of the most amazing rollercoasters. You actually stand upside down as you go round the loops. Scary stuff. I bet CK Jr. would love that. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)

Heya purelife!

  I had chicken rice today. Made Hainan Chicken Rice. Really easy too. Boil chicken, cook rice in chicken stock (add ginger and garlic) and viola. Easy.

Hi, purelife.  Had to run and couldn't answer until now.  Lunch was turkey and dressing.  I couldn't wait until Christmas for turkey.  I'll still have some left then, I'm sure!(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/11.gif)

I've done the chicken rice thing before.  I didn't know that that came with a name.  Cool.  I just called it chicken/garlic/ginger rice.  hee hee..
 
 turkey...yummy.  You must have tons and tons of leftovers (assuming that you cook a huge turkey)
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 17 06 05:49
It wasn't all that big.  I bought the smallest one I could find.  But I really like turkey, and it will mean a lot of meals when I don't want to cook something fancy.  *most of the time*

That is definitely true.  You could make wraps, sandwiches, turkey congee, turkey casserole....yummy.
 
 I just cheat and buy two turkey drumsticks and bake those.

Hello kitten, you must be a late person tonight like me! hows things with you?

  We got back from camping, were unpacking and showering, when we got a call from a friend wondering where we were... there was a potluck tonight! So I left my bbq and stuff in my truck, grabbed some chicken from superstore, and went and cooked. What a long night!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Morning everyone!

  It's so drabby this morning, well, I'm feeling drabby actually.  *sigh*

  EDIT:  A bowl of hot soup is on the menu for my lunch today.  Mmm....comfort food.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 18 06 10:15
Mornin purelife.

  I thought comfort food was meatloaf and gravy or macarroni and cheese type things?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Dec 18 06 10:17
Morning all.

  Yep, it looks like a drabby and wet morning. Bummer, eh? Still.... like I always say, it's better than snow.

  We just went to the Burnaby Village Museum yesterday. Not too bad but it was damn cold at night. We saw Father Christmas. He looked awesome in his authentic "Santa Claus" outfit complete with old fashion glasses, twinkle in his eyes and real beard. Not like the Mall Santa. Best part of it was the no line-up. Unfortunately, Lise Jr. freaked out on Santa and refused to sit on his lap. Cried the whole time so no Kodak moment for us.

  Carousel ride was fun if you didn't feel sick in the middle of it. I don't know how kids can go on and on these things. I couldn't wait for the ride to end. (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/traurig/a005.gif)

Burnaby Museum sounded like fun, Lise.  It's a lovely area with so many things to do.  The real looking Santas are hard to find nowadays.  I prefer the ones who really look jolly and leave their beard and it's really white.  I always stop and do a double take at Santa.  It truly feels magical.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Dec 18 06 10:26
True enough, purelife. There's something to be said about going through an old village and seeing a real looking St. Nick.

  Ah, pho.... best noodle soup ever! Love it. A friend of mine loves red meat so much that she would actually ask for the slices of raw beef set aside so she can dip the morsel into her soup while she eat. Bleh.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 18 06 10:37
Yup, agree with you there that Pho is the best soup EVAR!  YAR!  We found this great pho place on Kingsway beside this car dealership.  I can't remember the cross streets but it looked to be a little green house-looking restaurant.

Post by: Ally on Dec 18 06 10:44
Good morning all!

  I am back in Seattle now.  Nursing my morning cup of Timmy Ho's.  I lined up twice over the 4 days I was up in Vancouver for Timmy's.  

  To answer Russ' question.  I live in Seattle but was born in Vancouver and all my family and friends are there.  I'm only here temporarily with my family.

  Lise!  You went and saw Santa.  I took my daughter to see Santa as well.  I went to Coquitlam Centre to see him.  They've had the same guy being Santa there for years.  He may actually be real!  My daughter sat on Santa's knee and was looking at me so the first couple of pictures were really good.  But then she looked up and realized that some white bearded man was holding her and her lower lip came out for about a second and then she started to scream cry.  

  Everybody have their power on?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 18 06 10:46
Hiya Ally.

  Coquitlam Centre you say, eh?  Hmmm.....that's awesome!  Yeah, the little ones get so scared of Santa.  I don't blame them.  Santa isn't mommy or daddy.  

  EDIT:  Speaking of Timmy's, I tried their Decaf coffee for the first time on Friday and I have to say that it's excellent.  There was no after taste and it wasn't very strong compared to Starbuck's decaf.  Now, I might just have to go to Timmie's for their decaf this afternoon.  This is coming from me who rarely drinks coffee too.  I'm impressed.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 18 06 10:59
Coffee without caffeine is not coffee. And should be illegal. People like me can and have made a split second error and have gotten and drunk the stuff.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Morning Ally. Sorry, I had to dash off for a bit.

  Oh yeah, Coquitlam Centre has one of the most awesome Christmas display. I've never seen Santa there but I've seen the display. Very beautiful.

  I love Coquitlam Centre because it has this playground area for toddlers. Great to drop them off but the best part of it - you only pay $1.00 for as long as your kid can handle.

  Speaking of coffee, I had my first decaf coffee at the Bay on Saturday since birthing. OMG. I thought I could die just right there. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Anyone been to the mall? INSANE!! Everyone's in a pissy mood. Good Christmas cheer and well wishes to fellow beings? I think not. Everyone is snarling and cursing. The line-ups are crazy especially at Toys R Us and you can't even sit down to eat. I'm avoiding the malls for good. Done with Christmas shopping so I don't have to go near the malls. YAY!!!!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 18 06 11:25
You say Toys R Us?  Metrotown location?  *sigh*...I have to go there this Friday right after work.  I had to leave it last minute because that's when I get my 'xmas bonus.  *double sigh*  Otherwise, I would have been done.  *cries*

  I hate the malls...but I've got no choice.  boo f*cking hoo... :(

  Yeah, people are most grumbly and pushy during times of stress.  Oh, it was the same when there were those skytrains delay this month.  CRAZY!  People pushing, shoving, fist fighting (not kidding)....insane.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Dec 18 06 11:30
Yep, purelife, Toys R Us Metrotown. I  was there on Saturday night around 8pm and had to buy something for the kids. It took me one hour to buy one item and go through the line-up. Plus it was so damn hot there. People were just cursing. To top it all, you have kids running and screaming.

  Not to mention parking. It's the s......t. Good luck indeed.

  BTW, late night shopping has started so you don't need to hurry. I think the mall close around 11pm or something like that.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 18 06 11:32
Oh yes, the 11pm closing time.  Almost forgot about that.  Hmm, I might head to Toy's R Us's Broadway location.  It shouldn't be too too busy there...  Thanks for the forewarning Miss Lise.

Post by: Lise on Dec 18 06 11:35
Not a problem, Lady purelife. Broadway might be less busy but I wouldn't hold my breath for long. Hey, while you're there, check out Tomakasu Restaurant which is just above the place. Awesome place for sushi. It's cheaper for lunch.

Weather has not been exciting here. Looks like a green Christmas is forcasted. Blecch! My snow dance isn't working out so good. Mind you, the hills have a great start, they just need MORE MORE MORE!

Don't think I will be hitting them too much until it dumps some serious powder.

Hi CK.  RATS !!!!!  I always miss you.  

The neighbourhood is a mess for sure, but personally we made out OK.  I think the hydro guys did pretty good getting us power back in only 3 days.  They certainly had their work cut out for them.  There were roads you couldn't even see.....they looked like you were heading into dense forest.

  As for the power outage, I don't really mind that so much.  (didn't care for losing all our food, but all in all, it could have been a lot worse than it was)  

  Green Christmas for us too *cry*  I suppose it'll make travel a little easier, anyway.

  Anybody have an automatic coffee maker?  My husband and I are looking at them right now.  We just ordered a DVD from the manufacturer.  It's simply a push of the button.  No filter to clean, no milk to froth(for specialty coffee's).  I'm being boring.

  Here's some unboring(ikea!)  I thought that I was going to get shot yesterday.

Morning all. *yawn*

  Coffee maker? Nope but I would love to have one. That Tassimo one looks really nice. Just press button and viola. I suck at making coffee. Instant coffee I can do but the one that requires the drip and filter... meh. Don't ask.

  What's this about getting shot?? Whoa. Care to tell?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Ally on Dec 19 06 11:03
Yeah the one we're looking at(actually it's my husband doing the research) is the Jura Capresso Z5 I think?  I don't actually know anyone that has it.  We had a demo at Williams and Sonoma a few weeks ago.

  My almost getting shot story:

  I went to Northgate Mall yesterday(about 10 minutes from where I live).  Parking was tough to find.  I ended up parking way off by the Toys R'Us at the back.  My daughter started to fuss a bit.  I decided to leave the car running(for heat), lock the doors, and hop into the back seat and feed her.  So there I am.  In the back seat of my car feeding my daughter listening to the Trans Siberian Orchestra.  I was enjoying myself.

  I see a police car drive by.  I figured that he's doing patrols.  I really only noticed because the police cars here aren't white like they are in Van.  They're dark blue with a grey stripe.  About 3 minutes later he drives by again but this time cuts through the aisle and pops out on the other side.

  The next bit of my story takes place over about 1 minute.  Excuse the swearing.  I am giving a play by play of what happened in my head.

   All of a sudden out of nowhere there's 3 cop cars right by this reddish colored car(maybe a sentra?) There's six cops surrounding this vehicle.  This has my attention.  One of the cops has her big huge flashlight in strike position and the rest of them all have their hands on their guns.  Then 2(I think) drew their weapons and the female police officer starting striking the passenger window to try and break it.  my thoughts: *f*ck* I'm 15 feet away from a gun battle.  they don't even know that I'm here.  there's going to be freaking ricocheting(not sure if I spelled that right) bullets and I have my daughter in my arms.  Great.  I'm really not in the mood to get shot.  I really wish I was home in front of my fireplace with my soft blankets(I actually thought that)  I'm fully willing to take a bullet though protecting my daughter.  ***that motherly protective fierce instinct was really really high at this point***  

  So I got down on the floor of the vehicle with my body around my daughter.  I had unclipped her car seat when I first took her out to feed her so I put that behind me(between my back and the door).  I figured if there was a stray bullet, the more resistance it meets in it's travels the better.  I know this is silly, but I also flexed every muscle I had thinking that I was somehow making myself inpenetrable.  

  I heard a lot of shouting and then silence.  I waited a minute and then I popped my head up to see what was going on and was just in time to see the suspect car taking off, and the cops in hot pursuit(not sure how they got away?)

  I found this really really scary.  My heart was pounding and I was vibrating.

Oh, my Ally!  I feel terrified and my body is just shaking hearing your story.  I am so happy that you two got out there safe.  Oh my....

OMG. Scary stuff indeed! I'm glad that you and your wee little one wasn't hurt. Dang! At a Toys R Us parking lot too.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Ally on Dec 19 06 11:24
I feel sort of drama queenish because I wasn't really involved.  But then again I guess that if guns are drawn and you're within a couple hundred feet(I was about 15 feet away) you're involved.  

  I feel sort of ticked off that the police would allow such a thing to escalate like that in a public place.

  Oh yeah the motherly instinct is sooooo fierce.  

  I can't believe the adrenalin response though.  It's crazy.  I was totally ready to fight.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 19 06 11:29
People are most strongest when their adrenaline is pumped.  You wouldn't believe how much willpower and strength one could conjure up when your adrenaline is pumped.  I've been in those situations.  Not fun.

Lunch was good! I ended up heating up some salmon that I found in the fridge. Dont know from when but it didnt stink so I ate it.

  I agree pretty quiet.. The chatroom kicked me out after a bit of inactivity. Ah well.

  How was yours? Did your co workers take you out somewhere?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 19 06 02:53
I had this brocolli and meatballs and this rice dish with artichoke.  Yummy.

  Nope, coworkers never took me out.  We just talked about my news, that's all.

OMG Ally.  I just read your story.  (I have to play catch-up when I get home from work)

  Drama queen my butt.  That IS DRAMA.  How frightening.  

I like your thinking process about putting things on top of you and tensing all your muscles.  That's pretty rational thinking while in the midst of chaos.

I'm glad all came out OK.

Good morning CK and miss PureLife,

Hows things with you today? I hit river rock last night with a few friends that were celebrating.. First time in many years.. I ended up 800 up at one point, then a few drinks more and I walked out 200 ahead.

  Lunch will be ham and eggs. Breakfast for lunch!

Hiya Russ.

  That sounds like a great win!  RiverRock in Richmond, right?

  I like that place.  I've only been there two times.  I like the fireplace they have outdoor.  That's beautiful.

 Yeah, its in richmond purelife. Behind costco off bridgeport.

  Amazing really, I usually gamble with friends not at casino's. This is my third time in one.

  Late night lol, Im debating whether or not to uncurl from my laptop in front of the telly.

  Another restless night. Two hourly feeds. *sigh* My back's killing me. I think I must have slept wrong. Can someone come over and give me a good massage?

  River Rock Casino? I've never been there. Always wanted to go there but am not really a gambler. Just want to see what's it's like. Do they serve free drinks to gamblers like they do in Las Vegas?

  I'm just finishing my first big cup of Timmy's.  I put eggnog in it this morning instead of cream.  It's actually really good!

  Everybody done their Xmas shopping?  I think I'm pretty much done.  Just wrapping now.  I plan to bring a lot of the gifts over the border wrapped.  I never have a problem, I'm always honest.  I just hope that they don't make me open them!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Dec 20 06 10:57
Morning Ally.

  Yep. I'm done with all my Christmas shopping and wrapping. Everything under the tree now. I just have to get ingredients for the Christmas lunch. Pretty much set for Christmas. I'm not going near any mall. It's sheer madness there.

  Speaking of parcels and across the border, do they actually try to make you open them? That would suck. I've had one experience like that but I was the airport in Sydney carrying presents back to Vancouver. The security guards ripped off my gifts. I was mortified but then again, I should have known better. Don't wrap things when you're traveling on an airplane. Ah well.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 20 06 11:02
Oh dear Lise...I would totally offer you a back massage if I was there.  I give excellent back massages (not kidding).  :)

  RiverRock is beautiful indoors and out.  There's this beautiful seating area outdoors where thiere is this open fire in the middle of the table.  I only go there to walk around, never really gambling.  Oh, and there's a live band and some people get on the floor for some boogy-ing.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Do they have a restaurant there? Maybe I'll try that place out one day. Always been curious.

They cost about 550 per drink, and they dont serve you more than one per person. and if the person isnt there you have to have one of the bus boys walk it to the table. Makes sence huh?

No free drinks? What kinda casino doesn't serve free drinks? Boohoo. I've visisted casinoes in Sydney, even the smaller ones (RSL Clubs) and they always serve you free drinks. Coffee, tea, fountain pop, whatever. Geeeeee........

  Here's the casino from Sydney that I've been in. Really nice place. Love the seafood there.

They could technically make me open the gifts, but we cross the border 3-4 times per month.  Our plates come up and they know that we're down here working.  I'm always honest.  When we cross I'm going to say that I'm bringing $1500 worth of stuff across, but $1000 of that is coming back down to the US.  

  I know Lise, the malls are mad!  I waited an hour to get into University Village on Monday(a really nice outdoor mall here.  Very Californiaish).  Parking is a nightmare although in the end I totally lucked out and got rock star parking.

  I think that I'll be hitting Carters on my way up on Friday, but that's it for shopping.  

  There's been 5 new babies in our extended family this year.  Christmas is going to be crazy.

  Well, at least they serve non-alcoholic drinks. It's better than nothing. If you get drunk while gambling, you can't really focus, can you?

Oh sweet Russ.  Shopping, right?  

  I, too, have to spend my lunch hour shopping for last minute gifts for my guy.  

  I love Walmart.  I was able to buy most of my gifts there.  Awesome!  And surprisingly, it wasn't too crowded last night.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 21 06 09:16
Yes, for shopping and other things..

  Walmart wasnt crowded? Which one did you go to? I was at the one in new west the other night and it was packed!

  It was packed at oakridge last night as well.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 21 06 09:23
Yeah, the one in New West is packed!  

  I went to the one in Lougheed Mall.  That mall is great because it's not as packed as Metrotown is.  It was pretty empty, quite surprisingly.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 21 06 09:30
I honestly didnt think that would be the case there.. hmm thanks for the info.

  Im afraid to go there though, lol. I went looking for xmas presents and noticed they were selling alot of camping stuff at 1/4 price that it is normally. so I spent my wallmart xmas present budget on camping equipment. My gf was thrilled at my choices, lol.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 21 06 09:34
LOL, yeah Walmart is just fantastic.

  I used to work in Lougheed Mall before the renovations, in a store that doesn't exist  anymore.  (no, it wasn't a sex shop~I know what y'all are thinking).  That mall and I have plenty of memories compared to any other malls.

  Do you feel that with any malls, Russ?    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 21 06 09:44
I guess I have that feeling with Champlain mall, although I havent been there in a long time.

  I usually dont go to malls if I can at all help it. I havent been in metrotown in along time. Been to chapters yes, but not any stores in teh mall.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

  Yeah, Metrotown is just crazy.  I only go there if I absolutely NEED something that I couldn't get anywhere else.  ie.  I need Superstore when I order pictures and for groceries.

  Champlain mall? Where the heck is that? Is that in Burnaby somewhere? OIC.... I gotta click on the link. EDIT: Oops. Just noticed the address you posted there, Russ.

  Walmart. I love this store too. Is the New West that busy? Oh my. I love going to that location but am avoiding that place because I just know it's gonna get crazy. I hate the parking there.

  Is it me or everyone from the whole of Canada decided to come to Metrotown? Insanity!!! Grrrr. I'll tell you guys a secret to the whole parking scheme. There's a good parking spot on the 3rd level of the mall, close to where the foodcourt is located. It's always nearly empty though I daresay more and more folks are discovering this. When it gets that busy, you can always opt to park on top of Save-On Foods then walk across.

  I hear you on Lougheed Mall.  It has a good feel to it.  Northgate Mall here in Seattle is a lot like Lougheed.

  I need to go make my pot of Timmy's.  Little person is still sleeping and I know that that's not going to last.

Hey hey!

  It is sunny in Seattle this morning!  From the spot where I am I can see only blue sky.  I'm facing south looking out a north facing window.  

  Woodland Park Zoo.  Great zoo.  I would say the 2-3 hours would be more than adequate to see the zoo.  They have lions, and tigers, and bears,

  oh my

  elephants, various types of monkeys and chimps, giraffe's, and a few other interesting animals, lizards, kimoto dragon etc.  

  I would say that if you left Vancouver at 8am and took your time getting down here(which you have to with kids ..pee breaks etc) you would be here by 12-1pm and have perfect time to enjoy the zoo.  It's sort of sad though the captivity.  

  Champlain Mall is in East Van(good part).  I think that it's on E.54th.  Right by my inlaws.

yep, east van technically i guess.. but its called south van or fraserview. Its getting real close to where I live, lol.

    Thanks for the parking info lise.. but my truck cant fit in undergrounds. So I park wherever I can on the street or in open parkades. LOL. Its my own fault really. Not that Im too too worried.. I dont go to the mall. My gf and her sister went there, took them over an hour to find parking IN the parkade at metrotown. When they left there was four cars trying to get into the same spot.

 Hmm, I think I remember you saying somehtihg about that somewhere.. too many cobwebs sorry.

 

 You sure Lise? Even if its on top they usually have the bar at the certain height so they keep tall vehicles which are usually heavy vehicles from going up there. I will check next time I go there.

omigosh the outlets are amazing.

  Children's Place and Carters get an A +.  You can get baby sleeper up to 24 months for $5(nice beautiful velour ones).

  Children's clothes are ALL under $10.  Often there will be 2 pairs of pants for $4 etc.  Crazy prices.

  Also go to the website before you go(google Seattle Premier Outlets) and you can print off a voucher that you exchange for this passport thingy and you can 10-25% discounts at a lot of stores(ie. 15% off if you spend $50 etc.)

It's a juice.

  Here's direct off the bottle

  It's called Naked.  Flavour is Red Machine.

  2 lbs of fruit in every bottle.  The all natural super food.  100% Juice

Smoothie.  Sort of like Happy Planet Juices, but cheaper(although Happy

Planet at Costco in Van is cheap).

 Ah, turkey sandwich on toasted sourdough with avacado slices and a Pepsi One.
Speaking of healthy drinks, I'm hooked on something called "superfood" by Odwalla. It looks funny and unappetizing (it's a vibrant dark green) but it tastes phenominal IMHO and gives me the power to telekenetically manipulate invisible objects. Bonus!!

CK, you flirt! How did you know that would brighten a girl's day? Mr. Clean... ooh. The possibilities. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  As a general rule, guys should not buy his woman an appliance (unless of course, she desires it and can use it in the bedroom), clothes (because her taste is NOT yours), soap package (because that's telling her she stinks) or mere gift certificates (which means you didn't take enough time to shop for her).

  So the best Christmas gift is the one that she will appreciate. Like making her breakfast in bed, taking her out on a dinner night, taking the kids off her hands for the time being.

  As my husband would say..... "Too high a price to pay" then hands me my gift. At least he's thoughtful enough to put a gift receipt in it so I can exchange it. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Blue box is given when you shop at Tiffani's.  It's crazy busy there.  It's about a 2 hour wait for service.  I would never buy anything from them because all you're paying for is the god-damn name.  And who knows who made the jewelry.  Could be slave labour from Seirra Leone...nope, not my thing.

I've been there several times.

  It's okay.  Food is about a 6.5-7/10.  It can be loud as they sometimes have very large parties in attendance.  Great for a large party though.  The cooks are usually very entertaining.

  Your clothes smell like a cookout afterwards...that's a downside.

My avatar still says no, unless of course, you offer Mace Windu on the platter.

  We tried to eat at Osaka one time. It was so rude. We stood at the door for like 15 minutes but no one even tried to sit us. Never gone back.

  You should try Tomakasu on West Broadway. It's awesome place. About $22 per head for all you can eat. Lots of good variety if you're into raw stuff.

I wish I could paint our whole kitchen in a different color. No time to paint.  Come to think of it, I think I will gut the kitchen (some day) and then re-do the whole thing. Now I gotta just keep playing the lottery.*sigh*

  Sounds like a great project, PC.

  Asparagus soup, kitten? Hmm. Sounds divine. How do you make it? Sorry, I'm always after recipes that would quirk my interest. I do love to try out new recipes. I even made a note of PC's mayonaise which I hope to try out one day.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 26 06 07:44
I do it the easy way since I am making it for my lady.

  2 Pkg. Knorr Cream of Asparagus soup                               Crumble chicken and cook in skillet.   Cook asparagus in water until  

  3/4 lb. asparagus                                                                    tender.  Whisk Knorr soup with  cold milk until blended.  Combine

  Ground chicken...1/2 lb.                                                         all ingredients in large saucepan and bring to boil.  Reduce heat and

  Chicken broth...1 can, 10 oz.                                                 simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3 c. milk

  7 c. cold water

                                                                      For her it has to be pureed, but otherwise, serve with croutons or grated cheese.  White

                                                                      sharp cheddar gives a nice flavour

Ooh. Sounds divine and healthy. Can I use skim milk for the soup or whole milk?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Dec 26 06 07:48
I use whole milk for richer flavour, but I imagine skim milk and two tablespoons of Becel would be good too.

Hello all! Hows your boxing days?

  I hate ferries. I missed the 1245 back to Tsawassan by ONE CAR again! Incredible, we did that on the way TO the island. What are the chances?

    Lunch for us was turkey sammy's! I found out that my mummy had some turkey lurkey saved for me. Missed the soup though. We were going to eat on the ferry but with all the sheeple onboard and LONG lineups we just had a coffee instead and stopped for sushi at asiana sushi on terminal ave.

Hey Russ, glad to hear you got home. At least you got home safe and sound so that's what counts.

  I hate the food on the ferries. Expensive and not very fresh. I bring my own food whenever I board the ferries. Heck, already paying so much for the fare, damn if I'm gonna spend more Raging Poodle on the ferries.

    Yep, got home safe and sound so that IS what matters, you are right miss Lise.

  Had a good time in PA, PC. Lots of fog lol, dont remember that at all the last number of times Ive been there. Ate at the J&amp;L drive in which I always make a point of going to, then had inner on the night of the 23rd at the Clambucket. Great place. We also went and visited the key, was dreary both times we were there but got some nice pictures. We also went and hiked a small relatively unknown trail except to locals down to some pools and a waterfall. Wow, it was going pretty good with the snow runoff.

Morning all. Brrrrr..... is it me or it is doubly cold this morning? So hard to get outta bed.

  I gotta share this absolutely  fantastic recipe that I found with you all. I did a bit of my variation and it's more tastier. If you like Thai, read on:

  You'll need:

  a) 4 short lemongrass sticks (buy two, cut in half)

b) package of ground chicken

c) grate 1 peeled carrot

d) grate 1 clove fresh garlic

e) handful of cilantro / coriander leaves

f) dash of coriander powder

g) dash of chilli powder (omit if you don't like it spicy)

h) salt and pepper to taste

i) egg white (to hold mixture together)

j) tiny amount of oil

k) lime wedges for garnish

    Mix everything in a bowl except the lemongrass stick and oil

Scoop a handful of the mixture and laid it out on the stick, sorta wrap the stuff around the lemongrass stick to form a kebab.

The lemongrass stick will act like skewers

Brush oil on these kebobs, pop them in the oven and broil till cook

Garnish with lime wedges or serve with your favorite salad

    So easy and everyone loved it!!

Morning, Russ. Oh trust me, it's really easy and I don't cook Thai as well. The last time I made Thai red curry, twas a disaster. Somehow the stuff didn't taste authentic. This one recipe is easy and a great way to impress anyone.

  I also found an easy way to trick guests. They sell these Thai fishcakes at the Crystal Mall that comes pre-packaged. You can easily buy them, thaw them out then pan fry them. Add your favorite hot sauce, lime wedges or shredded cabbage/carrots and viola: instant appetizer.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 28 06 10:44
LOL, nope I actually seriously HATE goat and anything that comes from it.

    Bacon wrapped beef is one of my favorites.

I buy a bunch of diced beef (costco)

four pack of bacon (costco)

Montreal steak seasoning

Bullseye origional steak sauce I mix superstore hickory sauce into (melds into an amazing sauce)

box of toothpicks

  Basically wrap the beef with one or two entire strips of bacon and liberal hit of montreal seasoning.

Put your bbq on 3/4 heat. Sear them all on both sides. Dont let them get charcoaled, just seared.

Then take them and put them into your preheated oven to 250-300. Put them on a cookie sheet and make sure you have gooped them with steak sauce. Cook em for like 25-30 minutes. open one to check

  After you pull them out, let them sit for AT LEAST 5 minutes so they will relax from the searing and cooking in the oven. they will be tender and juicy and all that rot.

  the bonus? Everyone loves meat steak and bacon. If you dont you have issues.

EDIT: religious reasons are legal
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Dec 28 06 10:47
Hmmm. That actually sounds delicious. It's just too bad I can't take bacon. No pork, remember? Do you have anything without pork?

  Sorry.... made you typed for nothing.

  EDIT: anyways, gotta run. I'll check in later. Bye Russ!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 28 06 10:54
Uh, I put my foot in my mouth on that one did I not? Sorry...

  Try to do it without the bacon? Its still bite size, I dont see why you couldnt. I keep forgetting bacon is pork.

  Hmm, lemme think on this.

  Ok, small chicken wings.

  Same sauces, montreal and steak seasoning.

And chicken wings.

  35-40% heat on 'que.

Put the wings on and season with the dry montreal seasoning. Flip over and season the other side while it is still moist and sticky. When the one side is starting to creep white (cooked chicken) flip them. Then useing a large flat spade spatulla, start flipping them en masse. Once you are sure they are cooked, move them all into the centre in a pyramid like pile. Dump the sauce on the top of them. And using the flipper, start flipping them in on themselves to put the sauce on all of them evenly.

Remove for 5 minutes to cool and relax the meat..

  Serve with celery and carrots, and bowls of ranch dressing as the dip for all three.

Are you on ground floor kitten? What about the small portable sized bbq only the better ones...

  Im seaching, post in a bit.

    I bought a good one from Costco last year, not one of those super cheap ones:

They come out once a year and are like 60 bucks. Superstore has them as well I believe. I would beware of Ukranian Tire for bbq's.

  Home Depot has some good small portable weber ones, great for 1-3 people:

  Ooooh. That chicken wings recipe sound awesome! I'm in the mood for chicken wings now. Thanks, Russ.

  kitten, if you have a broiler, it works almost the same as a BBQ. If I want to BBQ and it's winter, I just pop them under the broiler. I have an indoor grill but hate the work of cleaning it up. The broiler works just fine.

 Just buy the cheaper ones from stupidstore or home depot. You can get a good one for about 600 that will last for four - five years at least if not more. A hell of a lot cheaper than around 3k. Believe me on that one.

True enough, kitten. I love the ones that come with charcoal. I know, messy, messy but there's something to be said about cooking on charcoals.

  I've got a great recipes for wings too. I just add soy sauce (light) and honey. Easy and has an Asian flavor to it.

Hmm, I would be careful of a used one. The ones at zellers are cheap, but if you do clean them regularly they will last a long time.

  Wait until costco has a sale on them, they are pretty good there for pricing.

  I agree lise. I did get an older one, so it did have non stainless parts in it. The newer ones dont have the same problems Im told. Im just bitter lol.

  I will fix this one up again when its warmer out, then once this one goes again I will be buying a new stainless one agian.

    Really lise? With Soya sauce? Mmmm, Ill have to try that.

  I sometimes put the wings into ziplock baggies so the sauce and chicken cant go anywhere and put in teriyaki sauce and my own supply of mulched garlic... Season for a day then cook. Super tender and teriyakied.

  Tons and tons of good recipe's for chicken wings.. the only problem is that the cost of the wings has gone up 200% in the last 6 years or so.

  I usually go to the local bars for wings... I avoid earls as the food there doesnt impress me that much. That being said I love the burgers at Red Robins for some reason.

Yeah, tell me about it! Prices for not only poultry but salmon as well. My husband seems to think that in winter, things slow down a bit so less production, more cost. Who knows.

  It's a bit cheaper at the Crystal Mall for chicken wings but I'm a bit hesistant about buying raw chicken there.

  I love the burgers at RR. Awesome. What's your favorite, Russ? Mine's gotta be the Honey Mustard. Hmmm.

Possibly, it makes sence. If the demand stays the same and the production goes down, but usually the demand would go down as its not the season for this? Im spinning my wheels here on something that I cant make a difference about, lol.



It's a bit cheaper at the Crystal Mall for chicken wings but I'm a bit hesistant about buying raw chicken there.



Why? I was actually thinking about getting some from there as it IS cheaper lol. Costco isnt that bad for price but everytime I go now they are sold out of many things. They dont stock or put out enough.



I love the burgers at RR. Awesome. What's your favorite, Russ? Mine's gotta be the Honey Mustard. Hmmm.[/DIV]
 Red Robbins burgers are the bomb. I usually get the royal red robin burger...

  Favorite sauce for wings? I dont know, I like many... mmmm, I have no preferences with food. Its all so good. Ranch dipping sauce for sure... but for the sauce seasoning?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Dec 28 06 12:03
Well, Crystal Mall... y'know... you don't really know how long the meats been sitting and in what condition. Sometimes you don't know if they cut corners. Play it safe. Buy it at Save on or Superstore.

  Red Royal burger, eh? Hmm. Never tried it. Only tried the Banzai burger and Honey Mustard. Too scared to try the rest.

  I hate their pasta. Sucks. Don't ever try their pastas there.

  Chicken wings dipped in ranch sauce. Oooh. To die for. That's the only dipping sauce that I do dip my wings in.

  I usually marinate my wings with light soy sauce and honey overnight. It's not a bad combination especially if you've run out of marinating sauces.

Im looking forward to doing my one exam I finally can write on the 2nd of Jan, lol. Dont expect to do well at all as I have slacked off in a big way the last month, not expecting at all to be able to write before I go back to sea. But even if I dont do well, I showed my company I did write. They wont checkup so I will just tell them that I uh, passed the first exam. Then I can rewrite that and the second one when I get back.

  I am hoping to get back out to sea within the first week or two of Jan. I will then get out of this rut that Im in now, and get back into working out which is a bonus. Theres a full workout on the ship, as well as a place to jog and such.

  As far as I know, theres no reunion planned yet. Our grad committee hated each other in a big way, lol. It was a joke.

  I keep in touch with alot of the people I was friends or even aquantances with through emails by myself or mutual friends so it wouldnt bother me.

Hey PC,

I haven't tried 'beef bacon.' This is the first I've heard of it. Where do you get them?    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Dec 28 06 06:41
I'm sure if you asked at your local grocery store, they could point you in the right direction.  I think it's actually beef brisket, smoked, cured and cut the same way as pork bacon.

It's not cheap, but yummy.

Perogies are one of my favs! Unfortunatley I dont have anymore in the freezer...

  I found one of the best places to get perogies, cabbage rolls, and other tasty goodies is M&amp;M meats. They have some great ideas and foods. The kebobs arent worth it though.

  Ever been to windsor meats on king edward and main, right beside helens grill and the grind? They have the best cuts of meat I have ever seen/ had. Last week a group of us got a 16 pound baron of beef. Incredible cut of meat.

I don't know where else they can be found, but I get the bits at Red Apple on Hastings street.  It's a big produce market just east of Gilmore.

 Nope, never been to Windsor Meats.  I'm rarely around that area.  I wish that I was around more private butcher stores because they generally sell better quality of meats compared to Superstore/SaveOns type of big box stores.  :(

I had the buffalo chicken from M&amp;M meats.  Not bad... too spicey for me though.  HAWT!  Isn't it too pricey over at M&amp;M?

It is more expensive for certain things at M&amp;M's. The wings and others are overpriced...

  But things like the perogies and cabbage rolls, while more expensive, are WORTH it. For the taste and filling in them you couldnt make them yourself for that.

Do they make their perogies in whole wheat flour?  probably not, heh?  I wish they did, then, I'd buy more perogies.

  Click on meat and pull down to beef to see video on how to cook it.

Oh, I see.  Wow, the recipe looks amazing.  Where do you go to buy these special ingredients, Lise?  Spanish onion, I've never heard of these before.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Dec 29 06 05:40
Hi! Sorry, I had to dash off to look after my cooking. Spanish onion is just another word for red onions. I got it from Save-On Foods. The same goes with the lemongrass stalks. I didn't add in the galangal (young ginger root) because I couldn't find it but that's ok. I just added extra ginger. Forget about the tumeric leaf - you can't find it but I found lime leaves (or kaffir leaves) at T &amp; T. Really easy once you get all the stuff and you can deep freeze the curry for next time.

 I enjoy cooking.. its like 'creating' with a vehicle or engine or something only not as expensive when you screwup or do the wrong thing &lt;you mean I had to drill that 2" hole on the rightside of my vehicle and not the leftside? shit&gt;

Im much more of a bbq'er than a stove user... but Im using it more and more. Its cold outside y'know? lol.

  Oooh! Turkey... cant go wrong with that! Im thinking you had the sad look that brick gave me earlier when we were eating... he got part of a plate as well. lol.

ok, I honestly dont know what a trouffle is, but I know they are sometimes in chocolates.

  I remember trouffles from the Smurfs when smurfette and hefty smurf were looking for trouffles with a pig to keep them away from gargamel.

The really sad part is I remembered all that from when I was young having watched the smurfs.

A truffle is a rare mushroom that costs a fortune.  They actually do hunt them with specially trained pigs in France.

  A chocolate truffle doesn't contain truffles.  (But they taste wonderful!)

Afternoon everyone!  

Russ, I don't know if Lise PM'ed you with the link, but here it is:

http://www.kraftcanada.com/EN/Recipes/RecipeTemplate?recipe_id=82742

The recipe calls for the Bakers brand of chocolate.  Note that this brand is a lot stronger than others.  If you like stronger tasting dark chocolate, then Bakers but if not, I just brought Superstore's no name brand.  Oh, you could also add some rum for rum balls.

Let us know how they turned out for you.  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Dec 31 06 05:48
Evening.

  Yup, that's the link for the snowballs, Russ. Use high quality chocolates if you want to go all the way, like purelife said, the Bakers Chocolates are excellent. I used both the Bakers and Superstore brand and they both taste the same. Semi-sweet chocolate is probably best because you're going to add in a lot of sweetness (eg. roasted coconut or icing or waffles or whatever)

  Hm. Never thought to add rum to the snowballs. What an interesting concept!

Hello Lise and Ally. Happy new years Ally!

  Yes, how was your trip up here..

  Ok, I seriously have to do something soon. After studying for weeks Im bored now, lol.

Nope I went clear through the border going up to Canada, and clear through the border coming back to Canada yesterday.

  The only hitch was that 1130am was wrong on their border reports.  They were reporting 1.5 hrs at both Peace Arch and Pac Highway and 5 minutes at Aldergrove.  So we went to Aldergrove and discovered that it was more like 45 minutes.

hey Russ,

Yeah, no fireworks where we were. It was a pretty mellow New Years. A few friends, my girl, and son spent the day at the hill at Louise. Then just hung out at a couple adjoining rooms for the rest of the evening. Kids asleep in one room, parents in the other.

I was gladly the designated driver because I wanted to not be hung over. I just wanted to get up, eat breaky, and head back up the slopes. It was phenomenal.

I actually am just getting ready to go for a walk. Ive got the leash for brick, and am trying to find my earphones for my iPod.

  Hey do you know any good places to park downtown? I ended up parking in the underground by burrard and robson, and it was twenty bucks! The only place I know of that is half decently priced is the underground parking underneath the north van recreational centre by robson and denman. Its like three bucks for all day parking. Its like a hidden secret. Its got three lower levels of parking.

Hey Russ.

  A walk sounds brilliant.

  Someone I knew said that he parked on Cordova and Bute area (closer to the seawall) and it was along the streets for free.  I don't know the exact area and if you're not in a hurry, you could try driving around that area.  I wish that I remembered the streets.  I just remember by sight as he pointed down the road.

Downtown parking.... for cheap? Yeah, right. That's like trying to score the lottery. We have to pay monthly parking fees because my husband works downtown so we usually park at his lot. I can't complain especially after seeing how expensive it is elsewhere in the world. You think Vancouver is bad,  you should see Sydney.

Took me one year of cursing and hardship before I finally gave it away. I had to give it away despite spending so much on it because I couldn't keep any of fish alive.

  EDIT: Just read your story about the angelfish there, Russ. They're agressive fish. I never put any fish in there with them unless they're those bottom feeders.

It's beautiful right now in Vancouver, Ally. A bit chilly but the sunshine's up. I heard it's going to be baaad tomorrow.

  I hear ya about the first tooth. I'm not looking forward to that. They get cranky when their teeth come in. It's natural. Just give your little one stuff to chew on (moist towel or any chewable toys). She's gonna be drooling like crazy too.

  Don't forget to wash her first teeth with a damp cloth. I gave my first kid a toothbrush to play around with at that stage.

  I've seen a lot of caries in little kids in my line of work. Most parents think just because they're baby teeth, they don't need to take care of them. Wrong! Baby teeth are so important because they pave the way for the adult teeth. It's sad to see kids with advance tooth decay even though you try to educate them.

  We've been wiping her gums down with a moist cloth since she was about 1 month old to get her used to having something on her gums.

    After feeding, just do a quick wipe of the inside mouth before she falls alseep. It's not so bad if she falls asleep and you don't wipe it... the worst is leaving a bottle in her mouth just as she goes to sleep. That's a sure bet to get bottle caries.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

There's still debate with regards to pacifiers. Some say it's ok, others say it's not. I think as long as you don't dip the soothers in honey or anything sweet to give it to the babies, you should be fine. My mom still believes this practise is perfectly fine but I say otherwise. Not only can you introduce baby early to honey allergy, you're also putting sugar in mouth.

  Some say pacifers don't really interupts the growth of teeth and should be fine until age 5. Both Lise Jrs. do not have soothers because I don't believe in them. Soothers might take the place of sucking/ breastfeeding so for now, we're doing without them.

  Doesn't mean that I'm against them. If you find they work, by all means go ahead.

  I had a soother till I was about 3 years old and my teeth work fine. (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/frech/a032.gif)

 Yes, you're right PC. Parents are aware (thus pressured) for kids to have the perfect teeth. You'd be surprised to know how many parents want to whiten their kids teeth, nevermind basic hygiene maintenance. Forget flossing, they just want to know how to make their kids teeth whiter than paper.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jan 04 07 08:32
I suppose things like diet and such is changing.  I was never panicked over the whole thing.  It seemed rather simple to me.  Brush after you eat......brush double if you ate something sweet.  If you're at school, and you can't brush.....eat an apple or a couple sticks of celery......swish with a little water.....done.  

  I was told by my oldest daughter's dentist, that she should have braces on her baby teeth......as they pave the way for her adult teeth.  Great logic, except her baby teeth were perfect.  Needless to say, I didn't mortgage the house for the braces, and her adult teeth came in equally as perfect.

  I think we've thrown out our common sense, for someone elses common sense.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 04 07 08:38
Brushing is a good way to start but we don't really stress brushing as much. It's the flossing that needs a lot more stressing. Brushing is ideal but flossing is the one that will really save your teeth in the end. But I won't go too much into that otherwise it'll feel like nagging. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Well, PC. Your kid is lucky. This isn't always the case with young ones. Sometimes their primary teeth are so malformed that we ask that they see an orthodontist. Baby teeth are easier to manipulate because they're still growing.

  Sometimes as luck would have it, the teeth defies all logic and grow well. I would call that extremely lucky indeed!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jan 04 07 08:50
Really ????  I didn't see it as luck at all.  I suppose in retrospect, using MY common sense was a gamble, but her baby teeth weren't 'malformed'.....they couldn't have been any more perfect......(not just a mother speaking here....lol)  That's why the 'logic' didn't make any sense to me.

  I DO understand where you're coming from, Lise.  It's a heck of a lot easier to 'maintain' than it is to correct.  It's not my intention to 'dentist bash', but more to suggest that after taking all the right steps, to not dismiss your own common sense.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/c040.gif" border=0]

Morning all!

  Brrr..... what a coooooold morning.

  I had all four wisdom teeth taken out two years ago. The experience was not too bad. The only thing that suffered was my wallet. Almost $2,000. YIKES! But well worth it, it was starting to bother me. Recovery was quick, I didn't even need any painkillers though my cheeks did swell for a couple of days.

Agree with the flossing thing. Its a hard thing to do on a daily basis though. It takes effort.

  Happy Friday!

Whatsup for lunch? I have leftover spag. maybe go for another stroll. Its sunny here today, although a little chillier than it has been.

Wow, you had 4 removed and it was painless!  Was it a simple extraction or was it a surgury?  Surgury would explain the $2000 cost.  I was told that a simple extracting isn't expensive.  My 3 teeth would cost under $400.  Luckily, my coverage covers it 100%.  I better do this now because I don't want to pay this out of my pocket..

     We had no dental coverage. That's the sad part. My dental coverage only covers basic cleaning and filling but not extractions. I had to be sedated too which added to the cost. Both lower molars were impacted so they had to cut the gums to extract them. All dental procedures that involve extractions are considered sugery.

  If I were you, I would get it done soon, purelife. Do it while you still have dental coverage and you're young. It takes longer to recover when you're older.

I hate going to the dentist for anything. Maybe I developed a fear when I was young. My dad used to have these old rusty pair of pliars and use to chase me around the house saying he will save dental costs. Not to worry, it was all in fun and he is a super Dad!

I missed a post on the last page, about dipping soothers in honey, and thought I would post this.  I was shocked when I learned of this when my kids were little.  It seemed like it should have been more 'common knowledge' than it was back then.

    [FONT size=6]Infant botulism and honey[/FONT]

 Infants younger than 12 months are at risk of infant botulism from eating honey. Infant botulism is a rare but serious form of food poisoning.

 Honey is a known source of bacterial spores that produce Clostridium botulinum bacteria. These bacteria are typically harmless to older children and adults. But when ingested by an infant, these bacteria make a toxin that can cause infant botulism. It's unclear why this occurs in infants and not in older children or adults.

 Infant botulism affects a baby's nervous system and can result in death. Signs and symptoms of infant botulism include:

 [UL] [LI]Persistent constipation  [LI]Floppy arms, legs and neck  [LI]Weak cry due to muscle weakness  [LI]Weak sucking and poor feeding  [LI]Tired all the time (lethargy) [/LI][/UL] Botulism spores may also be found in undercooked food, corn syrup and even maple syrup. For this reason, feeding an infant any of these foods is risky as well.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Jan 05 07 10:48
I never thought to even put honey on a soother? Why do people do this? To keep a baby quiet? Interesting.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jan 05 07 10:54
No....it's not something I would have done either, CK, but I know of people who HAVE.  Seems like a bad idea to start a baby off that young, learning that if you have a problem, you can make it go away with something sweet.

 [DIV class=xtext]Cars and car seats can't be sold unless they can withstand a 30-mph frontal crash. But most cars are also tested in a 35-mph frontal crash and in a 38-mph side crash. Car seats aren't. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]When we crash-tested infant car seats at the higher speeds vehicles routinely withstand, most failed disastrously. The car seats twisted violently or flew off their bases, in one case hurling a test dummy 30 feet across the lab. Here are the details:

[UL] [LI]Of 12 infant seats we tested, only 2 performed well: the Baby Trend Flex-Loc and the Graco SnugRide with EPS. [/LI][/UL] [UL class=noindent] [LI]Nine infant seats provided poor protection in some or all of our tests, even though they meet the federal safety standard. One seat, the Evenflo Discovery, didn't even meet that standard. We urge federal officials to order a recall of that seat. [/LI][/UL] [UL class=noindent] [LI]Infant car seats sold in Europe undergo more rigorous testing than do models sold in the U.S. Indeed, when we crash-tested an infant seat we bought in England, it was the best in our tests. An infant seat sold in the U.S. by the same manufacturer failed. (See [A title="European car seat models" href="http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/babies-kids/child-car-booster-seats/car-seats-2-07/european-models/0207_seats_euro.htm" inlinetype="rxhyperlink" rxinlineslot="103" sys_dependentid="128018" sys_dependentvariantid="529" sys_folderid="128470" sys_relationshipid="897159" sys_siteid="308"]European models[/A].) [/LI][/UL] [UL class=noindent] [LI]Our findings offer added evidence of problems with LATCH, the federally mandated attachment system for child car seats. Most car seats performed worse with LATCH than with vehicle safety belts. And LATCH attachments aren't always easy to use. [/LI][/UL] [DIV class=xtext]One federal agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, regulates both vehicles and child car seats. Why aren't car seats tested as rigorously as cars? [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]NHTSA spokesman Rae Tyson says the U.S. car-seat standard is rigorous and that side-crash tests are problematic. For side crashes, "our engineers do not have a performance test they're comfortable with," he says. [/DIV]

 [DIV class=xsubhead]TOUGHER SAFETY TESTS[/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]Our new tests are tougher than the federal car-seat standard because a significant performance gap exists between vehicles and the car seats they carry. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]The federal New Car Assessment Program tests most cars and minivans, and some pickups and SUVs, in 35-mph frontal crashes and 38-mph side crashes. Scores in the form of "star" ratings are widely publicized, and as a result carmakers have improved the crash protection of vehicles. There has been no such incentive for the makers of child car seats sold in the U.S. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]The infant seats we evaluated are rear-facing carriers that snap in and out of a base. The base connects to the car by means of the vehicle's safety belts or LATCH attachments. (LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children, includes belts that hook the base to metal anchors in the car.) [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]We crash-tested multiple units of each infant seat. In some crashes we used vehicle safety belts to secure the base; in other tests we used LATCH attachments. The collisions mimic a crash in a Ford Explorer SUV, a popular family vehicle. (The Toyota Camry sedan crumples similarly, especially in a side crash, so we would expect comparable results for some sedans.) [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]We used a test dummy weighing the maximum claimed weight for each seat. That's 30 pounds for the Graco SafeSeat and 22 pounds for the others. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]In our 35-mph front-impact test, seven car seats failed. They separated from their bases, rotated too far, or would have inflicted grave injuries, as measured by our test dummy, whose sensors record the severity of impact. We retested these to see whether they passed the 30-mph federal standard. All passed except the Evenflo Discovery. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]When we performed side-impact tests at 38 mph, eight models failed. Four of the seats flew out of their bases.[/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]Three seats failed all our tough tests: the Evenflo Discovery, the Graco SafeSeat, and the Britax Companion, formerly our top-rated seat based on earlier tests that mirrored the federal standard. Most other tested seats passed either the front- or side-crash test in some configuration, though only the Baby Trend Flex-Loc and the Graco SnugRide with EPS passed all our tests. (EPS stands for expanded polystyrene, a cushioning material.) [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]Some Britax Companion seats were recalled in October 2006 because carriers were assembled incorrectly; we tested a later model. The Evenflo Discovery, which we deem Not Acceptable and believe should be recalled, was the subject of a NHTSA investigation in 2004 after the agency received seven reports about the carrier separating from its base. (Evenflo received 52 reports, 6 involving fatalities, NHTSA says.) NHTSA said it could not identify a safety defect and closed the investigation. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]The Eddie Bauer Comfort infant seat also had problems, specifically in our fit-to-vehicle test of one of two bases sold with the seat. Because of that test result we judge the seat Not Acceptable and believe the base should be recalled. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]Our trained car-seat installers could not get the base to fit securely in five different vehicles. The seat also performed poorly in our side-crash tests. The company Web site indicated that our model included a new and improved base. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]The Web site was wrong, which we learned when we later bought another sample of the seat and discovered a different base that fit better. We have also learned that the manufacturer will supply that base through a "customer satisfaction program" but only to those consumers who know to complain to the company. The car seat (also called the Caress Comfort) is being discontinued though it is still sold. We're crash-testing the seat with the other base. Results will be posted in our Ratings in the coming months. [/DIV]

 [DIV class=xsubhead]ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH LATCH[/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]No car seat can provide good protection if it's not installed right, something that the LATCH system was devised to address. A tight fit is important for crash protection, and our testers find that you are more likely to get a secure fit with LATCH than with vehicle safety belts. Nevertheless, the car-seat tests underscore continuing problems. For example, more seats failed when attached with LATCH than with safety belts, even when the installation was done by professionals. The same has been true in our previous car-seat tests. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]Our tests suggest that infant car seats might be better secured if their bases were attached to floorboard anchor points in addition to existing LATCH anchors. Another improvement would be for the U.S. standard to allow for car-seat bases similar to many sold in Europe. They include a "foot" that adds stability in a frontal crash.

 [DIV class=xtext]Another problem with LATCH is that anchors in many cars are hard to access. And most vehicles don't have LATCH anchors in the safest seat in the car: the center rear. It can also be hard to adjust safety belts to a car seat located in the center rear. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]General Motors vehicles are an exception; many have center LATCH anchors. And some Ford models allow parents to use the inner two LATCH anchors from the outer seats to install a child seat in the center rear. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]NHTSA spokesman Tyson says the agency will hold a public hearing on LATCH probably in February; the date had not been set as of press time. LATCH has been successful, he says, but there are concerns. "The problem we have now," he says, "is parents who are not installing the seats properly." [/DIV]

 [DIV class=xsubhead]REAL-WORLD COLLISIONS[/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]All states and the District of Columbia require infants to be secured in car seats when traveling in passenger vehicles. Still, 572 infants under 1 year old were killed in traffic accidents from 2001 to 2005, with side crashes accounting for 151 of those deaths, or 26 percent, NHTSA data show. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]No one is saying that a car-seat standard with side-crash tests would prevent all deaths and injuries from side impacts. Still, the families of some victims say it would be an improvement. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]Mary and John Gallardo's grandson, Matthew, was one of those victims. In March 2004, Matthew's infant seat flew off its base in a side-impact crash on U.S. 49 in Harrison County, Miss., and he was ejected from the car. The Gallardos' daughter, Candace, was also killed and another grandson, Arron, was injured. "This was devastating," says John Gallardo, who wants car seats made so that they better withstand side crashes. "We just want to help see that no one else has to suffer what my family went through." [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]Carlye Siebens and her son Landon were luckier. In May 2006, after securing Landon in his car seat, Siebens pulled out from a stop sign near her home in Deland, Fla. Her car was broadsided, and Landon, then 7 months, suffered bruises and minor cuts when his car seat separated from its base and he landed face down. "The first thing I did was look in my mirror to check on my child, and he wasn't where he had been," Siebens says. "You assume the car seat would have been intact." [/DIV]

 [DIV class=xsubhead]WHAT YOU CAN DO[/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports, strongly believes that NHTSA should strengthen safety testing for car seats so that it is comparable with the tests conducted on new cars. That means including a side-crash test. If the New Car Assessment Program is any indication, crash performance improves when results are publicized. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]The agency also needs to revisit the LATCH standard. Automakers should make anchors and tethers easy to access. And LATCH anchors should be required in center-rear seats. [/DIV]
 [DIV class=xtext]For now, here's how to keep your baby as safe as possible while traveling:

[UL] [LI]If you're shopping for an infant car seat, buy one of the two we recommend. (See the [A title="infant car seat Ratings" href="http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/babies-kids/child-car-booster-seats/reports/child-car-seats-ratings/ratings-child-car-seats/latest-ratings/index.htm" inlinetype="rxhyperlink" rxinlineslot="103" sys_dependentid="109774" sys_dependentvariantid="594" sys_folderid="130269" sys_relationshipid="898281" sys_siteid="308"]Ratings[/A].)  [LI]If you already own a Chicco KeyFit, Compass I410, Evenflo Embrace, or Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP, use it with vehicle safety belts, which passed our tests, not with LATCH, which didn't. If you can't get a tight fit with the safety belt, buy one of the two seats we recommend.  [LI]If you own a different infant seat, consider replacing it with the Baby Trend Flex-Loc or the Graco SnugRide with EPS.  [LI]Secure your child in the center-rear seat if the car seat can be tightly fastened there. Go to [A href="jvascript:Start('http://www.nhtsa.gov')"]www.nhtsa.gov[/A] to find a free car-seat inspection station near you.  [LI]Send in the registration card that comes with new car seats, so that the manufacturer can contact you if the seat is recalled.  [LI]Remember that any child car seat is better than no seat at all.

   Hi! Sorry, I had to step away for a bit. Extraction doesn't take too long. It's longer to sedate and/or freeze your gums

  Yep. They're pretty uptight about sharing patient info. I don't know why. I guess it's like treading on someone's territory. What one dentist recommend may not reflect the other dentist's. It boils down to personal interpretation. And patients pay upfront so they demand the best. If the dentist doesn't agree with you, they break into hell.

  Funny, you don't see that when doctors do it. It's different with dentists for some reason.

I agree Lise.  I think that dentists have to do more work to satisfy the patient and drum up more business.  It's tough for a new practice to build up its clients.  One new practice opened that was close to my work in downtown, but I left because they sucked!  My coworker recommended me one where I live and they're great!

Agreed. Not all dentist are created equal. If you've seen what I've seen, you'll shake your head in disgust. I thought all dentist uphold some kind of professional conduct for patient safety but not all will do it because of cost. If they can cut cost, they will.

Agreed.  The rare ones are probably the ones that no longer can accept new patients and will only go through referrals. (like Doctors do)  For example, my doctor is full and wouldn't take new patients.  I was lucky to get in as I was related to my b/f who has him as his family GP.

  Anyhow, gotta get going again and finish packing before getting RSS.

  We are going to Hale Creek again on the far side of Harrison LAke.

Did you go to the new Costco by Stadium?  I'll have to try that sandwich the next time I'm at Costco's.  

  Oooo...have fun at the Lake.

Post by: Russ on Jan 05 07 03:26
No, we went to the one in Ditchmond. Its closer with more parking than the stadium one.. and thats getting closer to the stupid drivers downtown so Ill avoid that place.

  Yeah.. wonder how much snow theres gonna be. I have my camera this time, lol.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Yeah, I see your point about the Stadium Costco.  Yeah, many Ditchmond drivers SUCK!  I say this with heart and passion.

Morning Russ and everyone else!

  How was your weekend Russ?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 08 07 09:05
Morning Purelife, hows things treating you today?

  Had a good weekend. Lots of little snags, little chilly, but we had a HUGE fire so there was no problems with that.

  There was four trees down on the way in and out. So we had to stop, use our chainsaw, then pull the logs out of the way.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 08 07 09:11
You're really prepared, chopping down trees on your way.  That's awesome.

  My weekend was great.  We got this bed that my guy's sister had and she didn't like it.  She says that it's too FIRM for her.  We've been waiting for a proper queen sized bed because we have been sleeping on a crappy double futon for years.  So, we're super happy.  We have a dresser too.  So, we ended up cleaning our place on Saturday and visiting friends on Sunday.  We had pho twice.  LOVE PHO!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 08 07 09:32
Pho sounds good PL.. hmm, wonder if I should have some of that for lunch today.

  Theres nothing bad or better with respect to getting that bed.. Waste Not, Want Not.

    Yeah, its pretty much a must to carry a chainsaw during the winter or when its windy/ stormy. Lots of chances for trees to fall.. or firewood is needed.

  I actually just saw a post of a guy on another board I frequent that I saw on our way out.. a few hours later this happened:

  [img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v690/RunnerRyan/DSC00153.jpg" border=0]

There was a washout on the logging road and he couldnt stop in time.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 08 07 09:38
Oh no.  That's terrible.  That's not his vehicle is it?

  If you're in downtown, there's this pho place that isn't too bad if you'd like to know where.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 08 07 10:14
ok this is crap. this board is getting worse. It just lost another of my posts.

  Yes, its his FJ cruiser Purelife. It would be alot worse for him if it wasnt his and he had just borrowed it.

  Um, I think ill avoid downtown pho miss purelife.. cause its downtown. Im going to go to the one across from Bonn's on Broadway.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 08 07 10:20

  What?  Your post got lost?  You can try PM'ing Teh Borken.  He might be able to help you.

Whoa! That car looks really bad.

  Stephos is yummy. Hmmm... missing Greek food. Ever tried Minoas on Kingsway, they're delicious!!

  I'm not too crazy about Vietnamese cuisine downtown. For some reason, Vietnamese food (or any other food) taste better when you go further away from the core. Maybe the food's catered for tourists who have substandard taste. Hehe. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/13.gif)

The wind here is frightful again today.  Our power was out all night, and came back bout half an hour ago.  There is a wee lull right now......I'm hoping it's moving away.  I have been avoiding the room that my computer is in, as it's got the lowest roof.

  I watched an Inconvenient Truth on Sunday. WOW   If  THAT doesn't inspire people to make some changes, I don't know what would.   I mention that, as the severe weather we've been experiencing is disturbing, and  it's got to make you wonder where all of this is going.

I haven't seen the movie yet PC but from what I heard, it's pretty good and a wake-up call at that. It does make you wonder about the weather we've been experiencing lately. Yikes.

  Pretty dreadful morning. Snow coming either tomorrow or the day after. Wonderful. I'm so tired of snow.

I've been to that new Thai place in Pacific Centre.  It's pricey but the food is good.

  I have yet to rent An Inconvenient Truth.  Our company is lending copies out to staff.  I just haven't ventured upstairs to borrow mine.  

  Yeah, I don't really trust Pho downtown, but this one cafe that I go to, is pretty good.  I'm impressed.  And it's the only pho place around my work.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 09 07 10:24
What's the name of the pho place, purelife.

  Pacific Centre has a new food fair? No way. I haven't been down to the Pacific Centre in eons. Vina's is s'okay.... when you're in a hurry. There's a fast food Vietnamese take-out in Tinseltown that's not too shabby.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 09 07 10:37
Morning Miss Lise.

  This pho place is across from the Tax Centre on West Pender (near Bute).  It's called Joyeux Cafe.  It's owned by Vietnamese people.  Their bowls are a bit smaller than others for $6.30 but still good for downtown.

  Oh Lise.  How much does it cost for the patient portion of the lab costs?  My dentist charges me $100 for the Extractions.  This $100 is to cover the tables with the blue drapes and stuff.  Does this sound about right?  And my extractions are at about $275 per tooth (the most expensive extraction).  I have 3 teeth and I am pretty sure that my medical will cover 100%.  I am just waiting for my Insurance Company to confirm.  *crossing fingers*
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 09 07 11:04
Hullo Missy Lise and purelife.

  Thats too bad you are having THREE extractions miss purelife. I dont remember mine being that much, my company doesnt cover any expenses anymore.. so I pay my way. I have been going to mid main community centre on 24th and main for a while. Right by king ed and main, beside the shell station.

  You would be amazed at the amount of people that go to brazil or to asia (china for example) for a big tooth operation like a crown or a new tooth because of how cheap it is.. and they get a vacation there to boot. For example when I was there I had a tooth crack and fragments come off, the cap on top hadnt sealed and ate the tooth out hollow beneath it. I got it checked out, ALL my teeth cleaned and coated with that strawberry tasting crap, drilled out, pain killer injected, filled and capped... for 12 bucks USD. I also signed up to the chinese medical system? LOL, I have a card and everything. I came home and had my dentist check it out, he said it looks really good. It was amazing the building I was in, 12 floors with twenty dentists per floor, the first floor was reception and paying, the second floor was consultations and inspections before directing you to the floor you want to go to. I had an interpretor, and a personal dentist cause I was a white foreigner.

  Hope all goes well for you.

    Hm. There are NO lab fees attached to extraction. Lab work usually involves dentures, bruxism appliances (night guards), crowns etc etc... those are work done by a lab technician outside the dental office. Why would he cover tables with blue drapes? That makes no sense at all. Is it sedation or anesthesia? Those do cost extra. Sometimes if you opt for general anesthesia (like what you get for fillings) and not sedation (light sleep), it's usually cheaper. Just depending on how strong you are on the dental chair.

  Bear in mind, the oral surgeon usually charges extra for everything because they are specialist. The cost of extraction will also depend on how impacted the teeth are. You may have one of the more complicated tooth.

  Anyways, good luck with the insurance company. I'm sure they'll cover most of it. You can always opt to get them extracted one at a time. Some general dentist do complex extraction but those are rare because of the procedure involve.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 09 07 11:14
Foreign dental care is a bit of a problem. You don't know what type of medical/ dental training they go through. I've seen first hand what problems they cost down the road and it's really, really scary the things they put into your teeth.

  No thanks.  I would rather have my teeth checked here. Might hurt my wallet a bit but at least I know I'm getting good treatment.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 09 07 11:16
Morning Russ.

  Wow, 12 floors of Dental Practioners!  Holy moly.  That's awesome.  And cheap too!   One day, I'd have to visit the Orient.  I'd like to see where I fit in.  ;)

  My extractions won't take place for a few weeks until my dental office receives a written confirmation that my company will be paying the costs in full.  I am so looking forward for more room for my bottom teeth.  They're quite squished at the moment.  I heard that it'll take a year or so for teeth to realign and fill in the gaps.  And, I will have a much wider and more beautiful smile.  (not that I don't now.  hee hee )  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 09 07 11:20
I thought that it was weird to see a $100 fee that I would have to fork out of my own pocket.  She said that this has to be paid no matter how many times you get your tooth extracted.  I'd rather do all 3 and pay the $100 than do it separately.  She explanied to me that it's for the blue drapes and stuff.  I kind of have no choice, I guess.  She told me that it'll be a simple extraction.  THANK GAWD!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 09 07 11:25
For teeth to alinged properly, you need braces. They won't magically fill in once your 3rd molars are removed. Hate to burst your bubble there.

  I still don't get the $100 up-front-fee. Oh well. Different office policies, I guess. Good luck with the extractions. It'll be worth it.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 09 07 11:31
Really Lise?  My friend who got her two wisdom teeth removed told me that within a year, her teeth spread apart.  And so many people have told me this as well.  Oh well, I'll have to see what happens then.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 09 07 11:32
I guess it would depend on everyone's case. Each is different. In most cases, most teeth do not drift back to the 3rd molar (simply because there's no room) but you never know.

  G'Morn. It is windy here today too. I think winter is finally hitting!? Its been like mild September weather here since the end of November. This weekend is a boarding weekend.

Hasn't been that cold so far this year. Cold enough for the hill to get a lot of fresh snow mind you. The hills in BC and Alberta are having the best snow year they ever had in over 15 years.

  Awwwww....unfortunately Mr. P.C.'s request is always a 2 parter.  He likes a meatloaf sandwich the next day.  I never had meatloaf growing up, so it was kinda new to me after I got married.  It's rare fare around here, because it's just something I never think of......but every once in a while he just gets a hankering.

  I didn't know we had snow when I first got up this morn......but there's a goodly amount out there, and it's still coming down.  Hubby just called to say he made it safely to work......phewww.

That is always a good feeling when a loved on gets to their destination safely. Funny, my gf wants me to give a quick email, or phone call when I get to work...even though I walk to work?? (only when it is snowing). I do the same with her, but she drives. I guess walking, you can still come across hazards.

  Funny, we used to have meatloaf growing up, but I haven't had it in a long time. Maybe if I beg my mom next time I see her!!

  Im on my second coffee.. having gotten one from my gf.. she was hiding the fact they have a starbucks where she works!!!!!!

  So, what are you up to today?

  ADD:  Did you get my PM?  I hit send but then it gave me some error page saying that the message didn't go through.  I didn't feel like re-typing and PM'ing you again.  Let me know if you've got it.  If not, I'll try again to remember what I wrote for later.  F*CK, I should have copied the message first before sending it out!  This keeps happenning to me.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 11 07 09:24
I got your pm last night right before I went to bed.. and I actually JUST got internet back this morning. I had to call into shaw, 30 minutes on the phone, buggers. They did something on their end and walla! I had the net again. So, thats why you didnt get a response from me.. but yes I did get it. Thanks!

  Bodyworlds was ok.. but I only stayed interested in half of it, I started to get a little bit bored, as it reminded me of Bi 12. I then started getting angry at all the people pushing and shoving as it was crowded.. then all the kids running around playing tag and screaming made me rush through the rest of it. To me, bringing your young children at 7 pm at night to an exhibit like this is a little bit much. But to be fair, one young boy seemed to be getting more out of it then I did, I got more interest in watching his reactions then listening to the audio tour thingy I rented.

  It took my buddy over an hour to get from right by my place to his place along 6th ave there in New West, it usually takes 20 min to half hour. He called and told me the same thing, the cops had blocked some of the streets. After he parked his car, he went back out and tried throwing snowballs at some of them in their cars.. One of them started to give chase so he went home. LOL.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 11 07 09:32
LOL about the snowball thing.  Ok, good.  You've got my message.  I really didn't feel like typing again and you know what I mean.

  I was going to visit BodyWorlds but had the feeling that I wouldn't enjoy it as much.  For some odd reason, I have a feeling that I've seen them before they went to Science World.  I just can't remember where I've seen them.  That was why I wasn't interested.  I felt that I've seen them before and actually touched it.  Weird, huh?  

  Yeah, I don't know why parents take young kids to these things at night or to any other events.  I can understand if it's like the Stanley Park 'xmas train/lights and the fireworks because of the time (only at night) but Bodyworlds is open during the days too.  Oh well.  Kids are always most hyper and cranky at around that time which usually means that they are extremely tired.  

  Funny, again, when I stepped into downtown this morning, there was no sight of snow.  OMG!  LOL!

Morning purelife and Russ. Lovely day today despite freezing temperature. I might take Lise Jr. out so she can play in the snow. Nothing like watching your kid play and have fun.

  Bodyworlds wasn't that interesting, eh? I thought of going but my husband isn't too interested in going. Maybe we'll skip it this time. I doubt I can drag Lise Jr. to go as well. Might give her nightmares.

Morning miss Lise!

  I think you yourself might be very interested. Dont get me wrong it was VERY intersting, they showed real cutouts of lungs with cancer emphysema and other things like heart cancer, hip joints that have been replaced.

For me alot of it has to do with I got out of the more body science thing and got more into chemical and mechanical science. I also didnt get alot of what was being showed, as I had forgotten most of it, and as such I was going through at a faster pace and slowing at exhibits that interested me. I got a little frustrated then because of all the people pushing and shoving to see the exhibits, one instance two people just shoved right by me almost knocking me into one of the displays.

  My mother for example went through and took the whole three hour limit plus more and got kicked out at 10pm (it was closing). She didnt see the whole exhibit. My dad went with her and got bored halfway through.. but stayed or she would have killed him. She used to be a nurse at VGH for years.

  Go with someone that you think would like it as well. DONT take a child that will scream, cry, or run about. Its not really the place for kids, as like what you said, it might give Lise jr nightmares. Its also pretty crowded so a stroller would be a real hassle.

  But my recommendation IS go. Even if you dont get all of it, it is interesting. This was just my experience.

We have snow in Seattle!  I have about an inch where I live......how much is up there?

Morning Ally,

  I would guesstimate about 6 inch? depends around where I guess. Its not so much the snow as it kinda melted last night, then FROZE SOLID overnight, making it a nightmare to drive in.

  Its supposed to get to a high of negaive one degree celcius for the next few days and lows of negative seven to ten at nights.

EI is paid by the government. They will pay up to 50% (can't remember the exact percentage) or your total paycheck. If you work for Workers Compensation, the company in addition to the government will pay part of your EI. Waaaah! I wish I was working for Workers.

Good thanks Lise.  Chicken pox are subsiding, and actually feel more energetic today.

  I've been making a 'time capsule' of sorts for my kids.  All the silly little collectables and things I had growing up, and a few things of my parents and grandparents.  I'm looking up info on-line and writing little cards for each thing, so they'll have a little history.  There are things like an old pattern from the Vancouver Sun, that my mom ordered. Post marked 1947 and mailed to the Old Hotel Vancouver. (they lived there).  It's been a bit of fun for me.

Glad to hear that, Ms. PC.

  A time capsule? What a great idea. I'm saving little bits here and there in the hope of making a scrapbook for our kids one day. Maybe a time capsule is just the thing too. I've also started making a geneology chart for the kids in the hope that I can pass this down to them one day.

We pay so much into EI and the gov't only pays up to 50%.  I couldn't believe it when I heard my friend who worked full-time receiving about $800 per month.  THAT'S NOTHING.  I sure hope that it doesn't drop like the pension.  Crappy!

  I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better PC.

  It sure is tough to get any sleep during baby's young days.  Hopefully, a few more years will be better as kids tend to sleep all night long, undisturbed.  I hope that your hubby helps you out, Lise.

I agree.  1 year is awesome.  I know that fathers can take it up as well.  For example, mom takes 6 months and the dad takes the other.  I prefer to take up the one full year.

  We used to have it for 6 months.  It's great to know that it's a year now.  I hope that doesn't decrease.

  Other places make you return to work within a month.

Yeah funny indeed he's still morphing into a dog though (he secretly wants to be Ozzie he mimicks the poor old dog).  Tigger must have a super high matabolism because he's never been more active, yet he keeps getting fatter.

The US is sooo far behind Canada in terms of mat leaves.

  I am collecting a Canadian mat leave.  You get a max of $1600 a month regardless of pre-mat leave income.  The 1 year is soo nice!  I'm planning on going back only 1-2 days a week.  I haven't quite worked out the details yet.  Complex.    

  Down in the US though most women are lucky if they're off for 6 months.  Most are back to work after 3 months.  I know very few women down here that have been able to breastfeed for very long.  Down here it's considered miraculous if you breastfeed for 6 months.

EDIT: not things like the shares or old deeds.. we have some of those too. They are a bit of history for the family.

I do like your idea of the time capsule though.. I think we made one when we were younger and buried it in one of the gardens with my mother.. wonder if its still there?

  Welcome back SD, I didnt realize it was you! Im observant today.. dont worry, I seem to have picked up your posting slack.

  Thats good to hear Ally, didnt realize you could do that. 1600 regardless of income? I didnt see anything to that effect in Lise's link.. although I did just browse through it and get lost.. thanks for the link Lise!

    My mother was off for 10 months when I was born, then I was put into preschools and my grandmother B's care. After a few years my brother was born and after the 10 months she was given, she left nursing and took care of us. She then took along two neighbors kids as well. When we both were 10, she went back to work, not as a nurse though. She didnt want to go back to that as she was soured by all the politics in it.[/DIV]

Hi Ally

  If the max of $1600 per month isn't based on income, then how is it calculated?  I'm just curious when I take my mat leave.

  Welcome back Sportsdude.  Are you saying that I don't have a life when I'm posting here so often?  ;)  That's okay, I don't really have a life, whatever that means.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Ally on Jan 12 07 01:34
It is based on income.

  Up to a maximum of $400 per week.  I think you max at $1600 a month at a low income - around 35K per year.  But someone who earns 200K per year also gets the $1600 per month.  So you get 15 weeks mat and then 35 weeks parental.

   [H2][SPAN class=primarycolor][A id=Maternity3 name=Maternity3]Maternity[/A]  benefits[/SPAN][/H2] Maternity benefits are payable to the birth mother or surrogate mother for a maximum of 15 weeks.  To receive maternity benefits you are required to have worked for 600 hours in [A href="http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/asp/gateway.asp?hr=en/ei/types/special.shtml&amp;hs=tyt#Qualifying"]the last 52 weeks or since your last claim[/A]. You need to prove your pregnancy by signing a statement declaring the expected due or actual date of birth.

 The mother can start collecting maternity benefits either up to 8 weeks before she is expected to give birth or at the week she gives birth. Maternity benefits can be collected within 17 weeks of the actual or expected week of birth, whichever is later. Please note that the date you file your claim is very important in order for you to receive the maximum maternity benefits you are entitled to. If you are unsure about your most advantageous maternity period to receive maximum benefits, please contact us. If the actual date of birth is different from the expected date of birth, it is very important that you provide this date as soon as possible after the birth of your child. Please contact us at [SPAN class=txtcolor][SPAN class=txtcolor]1 800 206-7218[/SPAN][/SPAN] from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and press "0" to speak to a representative. You can also write us or go in person to your [A href="http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/gateways/where_you_live/menu.shtml#100"]Service Canada Centre[/A]. This way we will be able to determine the most advantageous maternity period, in order to receive the maximum maternity benefits you are entitled to.

 If your baby is hospitalized, then the 17 week limit can be extended for every week your child is in the hospital up to 52 weeks — following the week of the child's birth. You will still receive benefits for a maximum of 15 weeks, but payments can be delayed until your child comes home. However, if you received maternity benefits prior to the birth and wanted to receive the remaining benefits when your child comes home, call our telephone information service at [SPAN class=txtcolor]1 800 206-7218 [/SPAN] from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and press "0" to speak to a representative.

 The weekly EI payment and the number of weeks to be paid remain the same even if you give birth to more than one child at the same time.

 At the same time you present a claim for maternity benefits, yourself or/and partner can ask for parental benefits.

 [H2][SPAN class=primarycolor][A id=Termination name=Termination][/A]Termination of a pregnancy[/SPAN][/H2] When a pregnancy terminates within the first 19 weeks of pregnancy, it is considered [A href="http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/ei/legislation/ei_regs_part1_26.shtml#40"]an illness under EI[/A]. If that is the case, [A href="http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/asp/gateway.asp?hr=en/ei/types/special.shtml&amp;hs=tyt#Sickness3"]sickness benefits[/A] may be paid as long as the qualifying conditions for sickness benefits are met.

 On the other hand, if the pregnancy terminates in the 20th week or later, the claim for benefits can be considered for maternity benefits if the qualifying conditions for [A href="http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/asp/gateway.asp?hr=en/ei/types/special.shtml&amp;hs=tyt#Maternity3"]maternity benefits[/A] are met.

You must sign a statement declaring the newborn's date of birth, or, when there is an adoption, the child's date of placement for the purpose of the adoption, and the name and address of the adoption authority.

 Parental benefits can be claimed by one parent or shared between the two partners but will not exceed a combined maximum of 35 weeks. Claimants making application for parental benefits must provide the name and Social Insurance Number (SIN) of the other parent for cross-reference purposes.

 Parental benefits for biological parents and their partners are payable from the child's birth date, and for adoptive parents and their partners from the date the child is placed with you. Parental benefits are only available within the 52 weeks following the child's birth, or for adoptive parents, within the 52 weeks from the date the child is placed with you, [A href="http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/asp/gateway.asp?hr=en/ei/types/special.shtml&amp;hs=tyt#child"]unless your child is hospitalized[/A].

wow thats awesome. My dad adopted the role as a stay at home father after I was born so we never had to pay for daycare and things while my mom worked since she's the bread winner of the family. She loses her job we're on welfare.  But she hated it that she had to go back to teaching after 3 months she's always regretted it.  She took work and career over us kids but we wouldn't be where we are today if she hadn't done that.  But if I was in her position I'd have taken full maternity leave. Because kids grow up way too fast.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Ally on Jan 12 07 02:28
no no purelife you get 15 weeks of maternity leave, and then 35 weeks of parental leave.  Most employers bump their employees up to 90% or full pay for 3 months or in some cases longer.  It works out to be 50 weeks although you can take some sick time if you want.  I have a girlfriend that had a baby that took 4 weeks of sick time, 15 weeks maternity, 33 weeks parental(hubby took 2 weeks parental) and then 4 weeks of vacation.  Added up to about 14 1/2 months.  Women say they're on mat leave when really technically they're off mat leave after 15 weeks and on parental leave.

Case is dependent from person to person. There's no one true formula. You have to work it out with EI.

  Those who are self-employed do not get maternity leave. So sad but I think they should at least get something. My dentists didn't get anything and she had to come back within 3 months or so.

  The Universal Child Benefit is not too bad. It's nowhere enough but it's a start.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

EI is Employment Insurance. I just equate it to mat leave because that's what they call it when they send me a cheque.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Ally on Jan 12 07 02:47
I'm self employed but my hubby and I do some fancy accounting.  Tax splitting etc etc so it looks like I do some work for him, though I don't.  I got my mat leave and parental leave based on that.

  Sort of complicated.

Employment Insurance now thats through your company you work for right?
I don't have or won't have insurance soon because state farm says I'm not a student anymore which I think is ridiculous.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 12 07 02:50
Yep, I've heard that it can be done. As long as you show that you're 'working' under someone, you can usually receive EI. Someone I know has done that. She owns the business but made him the business manager before she gave birth so he can write down that she works for him.

     No. Straight from the government. My employer just hands them a form stating that I was working for them for X number of hours and so forth.

  I'm sure you'll get insurance once you start working, SD.

Ah government pays you? That doesn't happen here.
Nope I'll have no insurance at all and I do work. But its under an 'independent contractor' clause so the company does support you at all even if I get hit by a drunk on the road its oops your fault and not ours.  We get treated like slaves.

Uhm. I think that's the same here unless you belong to a union and you get hurt while working in the company or factory.

 Sorry, gotta understand this.  So, you got paid EI for one year up to a max of $1,600 at max income of $35K.  If you make more than $35K, then you still get $1,600 a month for one year.  

  But what's the maternal leave for 12 weeks thingee that Ally posted?      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Ally on Jan 12 07 03:06
Sportsdude, you live in the US?

  I'm a vancouverite but living in Seattle temporarily.  It's really interesting seeing the differences in the systems.

  I think there are pro's and con's to both.   I agree with the co-pay that many of the insurance companies have.  For instance if I want to go see a doctor I have to pay $15 and if I go to the emergency dept. I have to pay $50.  I only go if I absolutely need to.  People down here don't go the doctor because they have a sniffle.  

  On the other hand I think that Canada's system has more control over who sees specialists.  In Canada lets say you are having recurrent headaches.  You go to see your GP who advises you to get your eyes checked and tries out a few things that likely will work.  They refer you to a neurologist when it's necessary.  In the US, if you have insurance, you can go see a neurologist tomorrow if you want even if it's not necessary.  In Canada specialists see people who are truly in need whereas in the US specialist physicians are left weeding out the hypochondriacs.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Ally on Jan 12 07 03:08
Same thing purelife.

  Most women consider themselves on mat leave for 1 year.  It's actually 50 weeks but close enough.  If you actually break that time down though it's 15 weeks of maternity leave and 35 weeks of parental leave.  Adds up to 50 weeks.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 12 07 03:10
Oh ok.  I just want to know that I'll get paid for the whole 50 weeks of EI and not 3 months worth.

Benefits are paid out like this.

  600 hrs of work in the previous year qualifies you for benefits.

  You get UP to a maximum amount of $400 per week.

  Someone who only earns 15K per year may only get $150 a week.

  However once you hit the income mark that gets you the $400 a week, any extra income doesn't matter.  So basically a teacher making 40K per year and a corporate manager making 80k per year both get $1600 per month.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 12 07 03:12
Yep, that's about right. Once you hit the maximum magic number, the government will not cough out any more. Sad but true.

  That's why it's nice to work for a company that will support you by paying whatever the government doesn't pay like Workers Compensation.

  It's a measy sum considering you have tons of diapers and formula to buy, none of which are cheap in this day and age.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Ally on Jan 12 07 03:13
Hey purelife the smartest thing that you could do right now would be to bank your sick time(can you rollover from year to year).

  Then you can take your one year off(50 wks) and then even take a few weeks of sick time.....and when the time comes....work your vacation time in there as well.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 12 07 03:15
I did something like that. I took two weeks vacation time just before my due date for the second one. It was good too as she came out early but beware! EI will not be paid until that vacation time is done and you're officially not working.

Well its never too early to start planning in my opinion. :)

Thats one of the reasons why my parents waited until they were financially stable to have me and my sister.  I see a lot of people get married and then boom start having kids without realizing that it costs a lot more money and takes up a lot of time.  Like my cousins wife thought she could quit her job after she had her kid. I was like um no you aren't going to be able to do that your husband is a farmer.  So she works part time.  But I remember her saying she was quiting being a physical therapist and just become a stay at home mom. First thing I thought was um yeah right.

Hey Lise you should go to the Nestle website and the Enfamil and pampers and huggies websites.  Fill out their online forms and you get TONS of samples in the mail.

  The other thing.  Buy diapers in the US.

  I get a box of 216 Pampers Swaddlers for $34 US plus tax.  Works out to be about 15.9 cents per diaper(if I remember correctly) whereas in Canada even on sale diapers are cheapest about 24 cents per diaper.

The other thing.  This made me mad actually.

  I bought a lot of our baby stuff in Vancouver.

  We moved down here when dd was 2 months old.  I saw the bouncy chair that I had bought in Vancouver for $60 for $35 here.

  The swing I bought her is $159 or $169 in Canada.  I got it for $89 down here.

  Her car seat I got for $229 in Canada.  It's $140 in the US.

  She just outgrew her infant seat and the car seat that I got her was $249 US and in Canada it's $330.00.

  Ahh...the list goes on.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 12 07 03:26
I think a lot of that has to do with currency exchanges. For example if you buy a car in Canada and paid sticker price you've probably paid too much for it because the car companies have the prices set at a current exchange rate that is probably eons old and doesn't reflect the current value of the loonie.

I'll have to shop in the States for baby stuff or buy them used here.

We just bought a bedroom suite from Restoration Hardware.  In Canada it would have cost us 9K and we got it here for just over 4K.

Really? I thought it was all the rage now, the new sit and stand stroller. It's too big for my taste but apparently you can get a smaller version down in the states.

  That's a great stroller, Ally. Wow!! I want to get one just like that. I saw this lady pushing it in Gastown and asked her where she got hers. Told me from Germany but they don't make it here and I've never seen it.

  Have you seen it in the states, Ally? If so, where?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Ally on Jan 12 07 03:50
Yes.  Baby goes below.

  I have the Urban Buggy.  Again cheaper in the US.  I paid almost $800 in Canada for it by the time I had the rain and sun covers.  It's about 500 here in the states.  I'm not getting the Urban Buggy double though.  Too wide.  It'll be the philandted for me.

HOLY!!! $800 to $500 for one!!!! HOLY CRAP. Sorry. That's way out of my budget. (rolling jaw back onto face)

  If I had known about this one before buying my stroller, I would have bought it. I already spent like $500 on it so I could get the carrier that came with it.

  Yikes........ thanks for the heads up. I just saw their site too. Wow.

I also find the choices and selection far greater in the States also.

  You made mention of shopping locally, Ally, but sometimes I just can't do it.  I purchase Cover Stock 'paper' for wedding cards etc. and I pay $15.99 (plus exchange) at a paper company in the States, the same product (same company, same brand, same quantity) is $72.00 here.  Ivory envelopes are considered a 'special order' here and are a ridiculous price.

  What can you do.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Ally on Jan 12 07 04:05
  Babies world carries it in Vancouver.  I am checking as to where to find it in Washington.  I will let you know asap.  I only have 1 child and had decided that that's the stroller I would get, but hadn't actually looked for it!

  You could order online from philandted.com

  You can order from babyproofingplus.com or amazon.com.  I have used both sites and was incredibly impressed with them.  Also [A href="http://www.joggingstroller.com/"]www.joggingstroller.com[/A]

  The b.o.b revolution is an awesome double stroller too.  

  I just hate the sit n'stand.  When I look at my 3 year old niece sitting on the seat.  She's uncomfortable.  It's a hard seat and the baby seat sticks into her.  There's also no way to attach a coffee holder  and zipper attachment to the handle.  I was steering it the other day and it's awkward and heavy.

I wouldn't feel guilty at all if I had to spend money in the states and it's cheaper.

  Thinking about that stroller, Ally... doubt I would buy that. Not only for the price but I can tell you, Lise Jr will not want to sit underneath. She won't be too happy about the view. I can't carry lots of stuff with that stroller. Am used to dumping all my bag and stuff underneath.

  If you do buy this stroller, lemme know if this is a good product to invest in.

 I always adored Erma Bombeck.

 IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck

     (written after she found out she was dying.)

    I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

    I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

    I would have talked less and listened more.

    I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

    I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

    I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

    I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

    I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

    I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

    I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

    I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

    Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist in a miracle.

    When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you's." More "I'm sorry's."

    But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it ... live it .and never give it back. Stop sweating the small stuff.

    Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

    Let's think about what we are blessed us with. And what we are doing each day to  promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, as we only have one shot at this and then it's gone. I hope you all have a blessed day.

Hey all, Hotpot was great. Ended up getting too much stuff again.. so had 9 people over and ate away lol. We ended up throwing in things I dont remember being hotpot but RSS said is normal..

  Hey Lise, we went to T and T at metro (have I mentioned how much I hate metro? RSS was laughing at me). We bought one of those double pots for 21 bucks, the butane stoves there were 30 bucks, so we decided just to use my propane camping stove. After there we decided to hit crystal market like what you suggested.. ended up seeing the same pot for 16 bucks.. then four stalls over saw another stall with the same 23" pot AND a butane stove for 27.99 so we bought that and returned the other to T and T. Told them it was 'bunk' as the reason. You should have seen the girls reaction to my response. RSS was laughing into her hand.

  Also found that your suggestion to buy the individual things for hotpot instead of the combo's was better. We didnt have anything left over, and we got a bunch of my friends that havent had that before taking down lists of what to buy and where.. We intend to try hotpot camping next time lol. Its really good for a night of socializing. We are currently playing monopoly.. drinking beer and if theres a screwup and the rest of us 'vote' it as so we make the person take a shot of jagermeister.

  Hey, does anyone else have the digital TV box from shaw? We just got two of them here, pretty good for movies and programing.

Your hotpot sounds wonderful.  I wanted to get a hotpot but not until I live in a bigger space and  have a proper table and such.   Now I know to get it over at Crystal.   (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)

Good Morning everyone!
Got up this morning went over to the other house to look at the damage from the ice storm and its not good.  Those tall pine trees that are like 100 meters tall we've got one in our backyard over there it has no more branches on its trunk and looks like its going to fall over onto the house.  Then there's a giant oak tree that lost a lot of branches and this fern we have thats laying on top of the roof as well. Hope this next round thats suppose to come today isn't as bad as the first round or my old house might have some serious damage.

Hey Russ. Hehe. Funny story about your hotpot. Told you it was cheaper at the Crystal Mall. Things are cheaper there, even the raw ingredients. I only shop at T&amp;T when I want to get certain items that I know I can't find at the Crystal Mall.

  You don't have to dump everything into the hotpot all at once, Russ. I always make sure I have some leftovers stored in the freezer when I can't finish up everything. So here's what I do, put aside what you think you need for the hotpot then put the rest away in a freezer bags. Put in the refrigerator for the duration of the hotpot, in case you or your guest want more, just dig in and get some. Then when everyone's had their fill, just dump freezer bags into the freezer for next time.

  The next time you do hotpot, thaw ingredients overnight in bottom shelf of the fridge. Be warned though, if your stuff is frozen solid and you dump them into the hotpot, you might find the middle frozen when you bite into that so make sure you thaw them properly.

  And yes, PC. It's a soup thingee, awesome for a winter meal. It's the equivalent to your comfort food of meatloaf. Well, to  me anyways.

Would it be somewhat similar to a fondue method ?  (sort of)

I'm so very curious.  It sounds enjoyable, and something I'd like to try......but the whole thing is a mystery to me.

Could you give a step by step......right up to how it's eaten ?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 14 07 10:22
It's exactly fondue - Chinese fondue. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  You don't have to buy the fancy hotpot thing that Russ described. You can use an electric wok though it doesn't have the same feel as an authentic one but if you're not too picky, it's perfectly ok. I use one myself.

  All you need is a can of chicken broth. Add can to water mixture, approximately 3 cups of water to one can. You can always add more water if you like but don't overfill because it might bubble and splash over. Put hotpot in the middle of the table.

  This will be your base soup. The more ingredients that you put in, the more flavorful the soup mixture will become.

  You can buy those pre-package soup mix in the Asian aisle, they're specially prepared for hotpot but I don't use them as I feel they're loaded with sodium and what-have-you-not.

  Then prepare side dishes and place them around the hotpot. Prawns, scallops, seafood, buck choi / sui choi (the veggie shown in the picture on the right), chicken/beef/pork/whatever balls (you can find them at your Chinese supermarket in the deli or frozen aisle) can also be used. You need very thin slices of meat to serve. These must be dipped briefly so they cook just right. If you over cook them, then they taste rubbery. Again these meats can be found in your Chinese supermarket.

  Other dishes to consider: tofu (silky), deep fried tofu (cut into slices), fish tofu, noodles... etc etc. You're only limited by your imagination.

  You'll need dipping sauces too. Soy sauce, chilli sauce, whatever you have.

  Set individual bowls out for each guests as well as their own chopsticks, soup spoon, dipping sauce bowls. I like to get these special looking "hotpot" nets that allow you to scoop the stuff out without the soup but you can also offer a big laddle. Doesn't matter. You can make do with whatver you have at home.

  Phew. This is the longest I've written! Easy, no? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/10.gif)

Post by: Russ on Jan 14 07 12:38
LOL Lise, the stove under that pot in the picture is the one that I bought yesterday. Works ok.. I hate the colour though.

  Uh, its a little rough this morning.

  I found the packages super easy for the soup base only 1.19 each.. and I found when you add water add hot water, reheats up again faster.

  We had the freezer bags ready for most of it lise.. I wasnt sure how much we were going to eat so I prepped it all, but had it in large freezer ziplocks just in case. But we ended up throwing it all in at the end and using all of it, found out my brother stole some for lunch today. Good to know I did it kindve right if I had already done what you suggested!

  We bought the thinly sliced short rib beef.. I also chopped up some steak I had hanging around in my freezer, that actually was  a bigger hit than the super thin slices.. I made the steak slices about 3mm each. Smallest my shaky hand could do it. I want to buy one of those slicers now, hopefully a semi industrial Stainless Steel one from a used equipment sale.

  The veggies like the bok choi, cabbage, spinach, and the many different types of mushrooms were as big of a hit than the meat. I was surprised at that coming from my friends. I had some chicken wings as well that I tossed in, they cooked perfect! The pork and veggie dumplings that I bought were super gooey and all stuck together in the bowl I had them in before throwing them in, is there a better way to do it or a particular brand I should get? They tore apart when I tried to separate them so I tossed most of them in at once.. it was too bad.

  EDIT: we got tofu as well, the silky stuff in a tube? Only three of us liked it, my brother got a chunk and he panicked and threw it on the floor. Even the dog who was waiting for all the bits we dropped, eating bok choi and mushrooms would NOT eat the Tofu. Pretty funny.

    Anyhow, we are waiting for a buddy to show up, then we are going to head to the terminal ave Flea Market. Whats everyone elses plans for today?    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 14 07 02:42
LOL. Ah Russ. Your stories always crack me up.

  The veggie and pork dumpling. That's odd. They shouldn't stick together. Unless you mean.... oh... I think I know. It's the one that kinda looks like gyoza. That's not for hotpot. They're meant to go into noodle soups or steamed on its own. That's why they stick to one another. As soon as they come out of the freezer, use them immediately - do no thaw or they'll stick to one another as you well know.

  (http://i10.tinypic.com/2vi30bs.jpg)

Yes, it's the silky tofu that comes in a tube. I really love this stuff in hotpot but it's not everyone's cup of tea. If you like tofu in miso soup, that's the one that you use. I just cut them into bite size pieces, making sure not to 'destroy' them as I stir the hotpot. These puppies can usually go in last because you don't need to cook them for long.

  Hehe. I wonder why your dog wouldn't eat that.

  Kudos about the mushrooms. I totally forgot about them. They're awesome in hotpot. I use two types, dried mushroom (that you can soak before overnight before dumping in - but be warned - strong taste) and the enoki mushrooms. Enoki mushrooms (pic below) should be bought fresh or sealed, not in cans as the later is soggy.

  (http://i13.tinypic.com/34rsu3d.jpg)

  Hmm. All this talk about hotpot is making me hungry again.

The hotpot sounds totally interesting Lise.  I WILL be trying that out very soon.  It looks delicious as well.

Thanks for the walk-through.......that was a lot of typing for you.

  One more question.  Does each person throw their own stuff in and then dish it out ?  Or is it all going in at once (I'm pathetic......I'm still a little confused)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 14 07 04:37
You throw the stuff in as a plate or half a plate at a time.. with a bit of other stuff. We kept throwing in a bit of everything. People would help themselves to what was in there. Once it was down add some more.

Theres no real set way to do it. When I was in china, if you were too slow the server would come and throw it in for you.

  Thats the name of those small thin shrooms eh lise? We bought a few bunches at once, and threw them in as we went.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Yeah I do purelife, its not as good as it used to be though. The one to go to now is the cloverdale fleamarket out at the fairgrounds. Well, when its alot warmer out, lol.

  I browse throught the CD's there, and look at old tools and stuff. Those are teh places to buy tools. Get some people that dont know the cost of tools, as well as if they are broken they will sell them cheap.. and you can return them for the lifetime warranty they have without a receipt.

  I dont buy any of the other crap there. Well, sometimes the funny t shirts or a sweater if its cheap enough.

I love the Terminal Ave Flea Market.  I go whenever I get the chance. (which is like once every 2 years...lol)  I found some teeny filagreed scissors there.  Each was different, they were beautiful. Bought about 10 pair which I use to make Etuis for gifts.

I also found a bunch of dental tools (new of course) which are great for sculpting.

Love the Terminal market.

The one out in Langley you are talking about probably is the cloverdale one.. it basically IS langley. Just off the old fraser highway.

  After the new management went in at the Terminal Ave one, alot of the older guys with mountains of stuff were thrown out, and the newer guys that came in had cheap packaged stuff.. sad.

  Garage sales are the best place to find cheap cheap deals.. I stop at all the ones that I see. IF I see alot of clothes.. I keep on driving lol.

It dripped a little.  I left the taps running over the winter so far but it doesn't do much when the whole apartment is down.  The SuperIntendant should've let the water run a bit or have everyone do this.  I sure hope that the pipes don't burst.  That would be one of the worst case scenarios.

Have you ever watched Sailor Moon? I used to be addicted to that show.  I remember rushing home from school to watch it.  I wouldn't miss an episode.  LOL, I watched it with my mom.  I heard that there's a nastier version.  Go figure, it's a Japanese created anime.  ;)

I was a bore as a little kid I never really watched cartoons I've thought about watching some cartoons on the AZN Channel (Asian American Channel) but I think my sister would laugh at me.  Heck I watch a lot of programming on that channel.

Morning right back atchya! and a good morning to everyone else..

  I love being woken up and told can you drive me to work? We leave now...

  My morning experiences so far, lol. In vehicle driving, find out no lighter cause I was hustled out the door, crap. Look for corner stores on way and the two that I saw that said open, were actually still closed when I had pulled over and walked up. Grr. So after dropping her off I saw a 7-11 on the way back, I pull over and get out.. and slip and fall hard on my rear. Hmm. Get into the store and theres no one in there but two workers. No ones behind the till. After four minutes, I go up to the closest employee, excuse me can you help me. The guy responds, no! its not my turn its &lt;insert other guys name here&gt;. The other guy responds angrily; NO! its &lt;first guys name here&gt;. Then they start argueing in some other language. Jeebus, I just wanna lighter.

Finally guy one decides to help me, so he glares at me from behind the counter. I ask for some matches (easier at this point just give him a quarter, otherwise I have to use interac). "No! We no give matches away!".

Hmm, 'OK, heres a quarter can I get a pack now."

He takes the quarter, rummages under the counter and responds"no matches", keeping my quarter.

I ask for a lighter then, pulling out my interac. He looks at me and then grabs for my wallet! I stop him in a way he knows thats a no no, and say "what do you think you are doing".

He at this point calls the other guy over and tells him Im underaged because I refused to show him ID, should he call the police?

Im laughing at this point. I tell him to give me my money back and to sell me a lighter.

He smugly tells me Im underaged and he wont sell to me.

I respond that he's an idiot, he didnt ask to see my ID jsut grabbed for my wallet, that he has stolen money from me, and that you do not require ID to buy matches or a lighter.

The best part at this point, is that the other guy had come over and had been watching. Told the first guy he was in the wrong.. big arguement in some other language.

  Two minutes later the first guy throws a pack of matches onto the counter in front of me, gives me 15 cents change and walks off. The Second guy gives me a smile. What a good start to a day, lol.

OMG LOVE your stories Russ.  You lead an interesting life.  LOL!  I need some skytrain stories or something.  I don't have many.  :P

  HAHAHHAHA!  oh, 7-11's.  Do you think that it would've been different if you were a female, an attractive one?  I think that it would be damn dangerous for a female to be in there with two male employees.      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 16 07 09:16
Probably PL. Alot of the people they hire are anyone off the streets. I wouldnt and obviously dont trust half the guys in there.

  LOL, it all depends on how you see the happenings on the skytrain. I remember when I rode the skytrain there was always something happening on there.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 16 07 09:28
What?  Always something happenning?  Well, once in a while, this lady starts preaching and telling everybody to stop smoking and wearing so much perfume/cologne.  She would ask the guys "Do you smoke?"  and then start to give this long lecture abuot why not to smoke.  Then, she would start to sing something that included the words "I hate canadians, they are rude, they are mean, they are arrogant..etc."  We just LOL!  Oh, it's funny!  I haven't seen her for months now.  

  Other than that, it's pretty boring.  The rush hour trains are pretty tame.  It's when I take the train at night when I see some interesting things.  And it's the time that I have to be most careful.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 16 07 09:34
See? there ya go.. now theres an upstanding citizen! Very involved in her fellow canadians around her. Giving them sound advice for their health, showing that she cares!

  Do you carry pepper spray or anything? I have a friend that actually called me a few nights ago wondering where to get some. WTF? Why would I know? I mean to get off my arse today and call Daves Surplus in New West and see if they have any there.

I thought that pepper spray was illegal to sell?  I heard that you can buy bear spray instead.  Nope, I don't carry one but I will buy one.  I just haven't gotten around to it.  If you find out, let me know too, k?  

  My guy once told me to carry a pocket knife.  I was like "no way."  I just can't poke anyone with it.  I'm way too nervous about doing that and me, I'd probably wnoder if he is okay.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 16 07 09:40
just put something is a spray bottle that would be easier I think then going out trying to buy pepper spray.

  Pocket knife isn't a good idea because if you are attacked and the attack somehow gets the pocket knife from you then you could have the tables turned against you and its considered a weapon as well in some places.

writers block

I have to write an essay on the theme's of Merchant of Venice. I've got no idea on where to start.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 16 07 09:44
What is the theme?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 16 07 09:47
Of Merchant of Venice? There's a lot of themes to the play which makes it hard here's what I have to do:

  For this assignment, you are going to write an essay that is at least five paragraphs long analyzing the theme of Merchant of Venice.  

Your first paragraph should introduce your topic and make an assertion about what you believe the main theme of the play is. Your next three paragraphs (at least) should offer support for your assertion. You should use specific examples and quotes from the play to support your position. Refer to your reader's notebook for possible quotes and ideas.

Begin by brainstorming about possible themes for the play and supporting evidence for each theme. Choose the theme that you believe can most effectively be defended and identify three supporting reasons.Your reasons should be supportable with quotes from the text. Write a rough draft and save it as a draft. Reread your essay and check for organization and clarity of argument. Check for spelling and grammar errors.  Make any necessary changes.  

When you have completed this assignment, you will submit two files: one with your brainstorming and free writing, and another with your final error-free draft. These files should be named Writing_to_learn2.2_draft.rtf and Writing_to_learn2.2_final.rtf, respectively.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 16 07 09:55
If you are getting writers block at this stage, get coles notes, or look up on the net for some essays on merchants of Venice. DONT copy them, but just read them through once, then start brainstorming what you know about it. Make sure when you write the essay you include important quotes that define the changes in the play, major changes.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 16 07 09:59
I've already done that looking at spark notes right now the major themes are

self interest vs. love

Devine Quality of Mercy

Hatred as a Cyclical Phenomenon

  Then I tried to open up Microsoft Word on this laptop and apparently its not registered so I can't use it! UGH!!

  Can't use the other computer or my sister will hit me and yell at me to get off when she comes home from school.

SD, first thing is close your browser, yes all of them.  Get a cuppa tea and some crackers and then start your essay.  Go for a walk first if you're into relaxing your mind, THEN, start your essay.  Works like a charm.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 16 07 10:08
You've seen my handwriting it sucks I hate writing free hand I'm better on the computer.  I guess I'll just write the essay as an email and then send it to myself so when my computer finally gets back I can then upload it onto my own computer.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 16 07 10:30
Like PL said bud. Just relax, seriously. Have a coffee, tea, whatever.. go for a walk around the block and start letting your mind wander on the subject. Get an idea of what you want to say (just a basic outline, not a word for word) and then write that out when you get back to your house.

  DO NOT TURN YOUR NET ACCESS ON! Believe me, I know. I get the way you are as well when I have to write a report. IF you do need to check something online, do that. DONT 'just check your email' or 'just see what was posted on DS'. You will break your concentration then have to start again.

  Good luck bud. Just write. Dont worry if you dont like it the first time.. read it through and change it. thats the advantage of computers..  you can change what you put on the pages.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 16 07 03:37
I don't know. I haven't tried that yet. I doubt she'll like that as she's got this adversion to fish. Only managed to snuck fish into her in congee.

  Hmm. But then again it's tomatoes so maybe I'll give it a go.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I usually use a can of sardines in my asam laksa. It's a typical Malaysian noodle dish. Easy to do. I haven't tried that with Lise Jr. though so maybe I should.

  What do you usually do with a can of sardines, purelife? Anything fancy? Or do you just pop those suckers out and eat them like that?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I actually brought some today at London Drugs for dinner today.  I just eat them straight from the can, no plate, but I use a fork.  LOL, I'm not going that far and touching those smelly suckers.  I mean, what if one JUMPS at me?  That would be freaky.

pizza or soup.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

My mom usually does this with her sardines. Put them out on a place, cut half lime and squeeze on sardines. Cut some red onions and chillies, put on top. That's the way I remember.

  I like them occasionally in my sandwich. Not too often though because of the strong smell.

  I just needed my intake of amino fatty acids. I don't have a can opener for a can of salmon because otherwise, I'd eat those instead of sardines.  But, I do like sardines just like that.  This stuff is good for you, that's all I need to know.

I've finally just switched from the Brunswick sardines to Cloverleaf (I think).  The darn things cost 4 times more, but the Brunswick just don't taste so good any more.  I've eaten them since I was a kid, and there used to be like 20 of the teeny little fellers in a can......nice delicate taste.  Now there's like 4 whoppers.  Strong tasting.....ptewwi.  

  I told hubby that I couldn't believe that after all these years, that I would just not like them any more, and he was the one that recommended trying a different brand.  Good call.

This is the one that I buy.  You can get others that are packed in soya, mustard, olive oil or tomatoes.  They are cleaned and there are usually 4 big suckers with the bones and everythign.  Don't worry, the bones are soft and chewable and digestable.  And don't worry, I was only kidding about them jumping at ya.  ;)  tee hee...

The Cloverleaf sardines come in olive oil instead of soya oil....but they have a nicer milder flavour and texture than the Brunswick.

Best ski season in 15 years.....er...ever!

The snow has never been better at Lake Louise! I went on the back side early Saturday and it was like an Epic movie! I can't describe it! I have never seen it like that before. Yet, in town, there is hardly any snow? Good deal for me. Easy driving, then great snow in the mountains.

I've learned that girls think showing off in your car is stupid and you lose brownie points with them.

  I almost drove off a bridge down on the farm once.  I farmer was burning something I couldn't see the road and IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation) graded a blind corner and my car spun out of control.  I did I 360 on a bridge over looking a creek 15 feet below.  Finally got the car straight looked over to the idiot farmer and he gave me the weirdest look like "uh what was that".  He didn't even budge. lol I could have driven off the bridge and I doubt he'd do anything. pathetic.

Thats what most mountain communities do they head for the mountains in the weekend.  Denver is the same way.  I went to Breckenridge 2 years ago and they got a lot of snow that year and Breck people said they could have stayed open until late April if they wanted but around the beginning of April Denverites get tired of skiing and want to do other things.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: CK on Jan 17 07 07:34
Yeah, I remember you told me that. I was floored by the growth in between the time I went to Uni here, moved to Clalifornia for a few years, then moved back!

2007 is supposed to be a breather though. A lot of people are turning their backs on Calgary due to the high cost of housing. I think the averege house just hit $500,000 or so? Not 100% sure. either way, how are young folks supposed to get started. It is really hard to try and keep good employees here. I am getting used to the battle now though.

I will personally give free back rubs to employees that stay for 3 months...some females say that is sexual harrassment?? Pffffft!!!

...kidding about the back rubs....

  But just to give an idea how desperate people are. I seen a Superstore sign that says employees start at $20.00/hr! START!!?!!

Actually, its the same thing a lot of Vancouverites do on weekends too. After I got through my nite life stage, I would never hang around town on the weekend. It was all Whistler, every weekend. I actually like the Calgary area a bit better (for the ski hill reason). there seems to be way more choices for hills.

I'd do what Russ does and go camping every weekend.  Me and nature seem to fit well together and I'd used the weekends to clear my head and start a new the next week.  I seem to be at peace in mountains and rural nature areas.  Something that can't be said a lot here stuck in the city.  Guess that has to do with my farming roots.

Good morning everyone!  

  I have to get through reading what I've missed since our last talk about sardines.

  Russ, how in the heck did you tip your car?  WOW!  And, if I recall, your don't have a little putt putt car!  LOL

  Anyways, wanna hear something funny?  (well, you really have no choice. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/12.gif)  )

  Ok, remember when Lise mentioned how she thinks of packed sardines in a skytrain?  Lo and behold, the skytrain was jammed last night at around 6.  It was running on a single track because a train at Royal Oak/Edmonds area was jammed.  This went on all night long.  Anyways, it took me a long time to get from Granville to Main Station.  I was thinking about how packed we were on the train and sardines at the same time.

  From this delay, I didn't get my chance to eat dinner.  I started my shift at 6:30.  I was starving.  Finally, we had some downtime at around 8ish.  I went to the bathroom and ate my can of sardines there.  I couldn't go to the lunch room downstairs.  I really had no choice.  Luckily, the bathroom didn't smell nor was anyone there.  I finished those suckers up in less than a minute and left.  I had such a huge craving for them that they tasted SOOOOOO unbelievably delicious.  Then, I had my apple at my desk.  When you're starving, you have to eat anywhere.  

  Ok, so that's my story.  I know, it wasn't that amusing but it was for me.  LOL

  How's everyone else doing this morning?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 17 07 09:05
Morning miss PL!

  See, all of us have experiences to share. LOL. It seems funny doesnt it, when you are hungry everything tastes great, and you enjoy it furtively in strange places.

  At least you enjoyed them! (did you eat the bones again? &lt;shudder&gt;)  :)          
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 17 07 09:11
Morning all.

  Wow. That's a funny story, purelife. Eating anywhere. I can totally relate to that. Too bad Russ wasn't there in person otherwise you could have eaten your bones right in front of him.

  Hmm. Crunch, crunch, crunch, eh Russ?(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Other/18.gif)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 17 07 09:12
I didn't taste the bones.  Perhaps there weren't any this time.  LOL

  Speaking of bones, I watched this one episode of Take Home Chef with Curtis Stone on TLC and he did one episode that took place in Seattle.  I don't know if any one of you have seen this show, but in his shows, he would go to a grocery store and pick up a women and go home with her to cook her and her guest a pleasant meal while paying for all of the groceries that day.  

  Anyways, this show happenned to be in Seattle and he went into an asian market and picked up a chinese girl.  One of the items they brought was this whole tilapia fish, that was still alive in the water.  The asian girl was saying that she loves the eyes.  She loved the crunchiness.  And Curtis was like "Ewwwwww.... " and made this face of disgust.  He did it ever so smoothly on tv, though.  (He's really cute, ladies.  Gotta watch him some time....him and his accent and his looks... OMGDIVINE!)  Ok, back on topic.  

  So, he went to her home along with his tv crew and prepared several dishes.  When she and her b/f were eating the fish, the cameraman zoomed in on her eating the eyes of the fish.  I LOL'ed.

  Did I just gross out Russ?  Oh, I'm sorry.  Uhhm, no I'm not.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/12.gif)

Good morning purelife....Russ..........................and.....*edit.....AND LISE !!!!

  Russ, don't you eat the bones in sardines ?  Some of those little beggers are so teeny, I can imagine fiddling around de-boning them.  I've always eaten them whole.

  Try this with sardines for a quick lunch.  I know it'll sound gross, because of the K word (ketchup)  I'm not a ketchup person by a long run, but I like sardines on toast, with a little ketchup spread on them. (it's definitely different than the sardines in tomato sauce for some reason).  Yummy.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 17 07 09:15
Hey PC.  Now sardines with ketchup, what a WONDERFUL  idea.  I'll try feeding that to my Mr Mr.   I hope that he'll eat them.  I won't tell him what they are.  I'll only tell him that it's ketchup with fish.  ;)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 17 07 09:16
Curtis is da bomb!! He's cute and I totally love his eyes. Yep, I catch his show whenever possible.

  Notice how he only PICKS THE CUTE LOOKING CHICKS? Yeah. Like he'd ever pick me in a crowd. He only goes for the gorgeous ones. Sometimes with a young baby but more often not.

  I'm quite surprised he picked an Asian woman as he usually only goes for the white chicks. Hm.

  I watched the one where he picked a firefighter and cooked a Thanksgiving dinner not only for him but for the rest of the firefighters and their family. Kinda touching that episode. I think that was the only time I remember him picking a dude instead of a gal.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jan 17 07 09:20
Yup.....I've caught that show a couple times.  Pretty good.  I liked the one where he got the kids involved with the fancy dessert with the sugar threads.

  I also have seen him pick an older lady.  I guess he picks the young hawt chicks, because firstly, I suppose it makes for better TV, and also there might be a wee bit of a bias in there, thinking young hawt chicks couldn't possibly be able to cook. hmphfffff !

  Really?  I just started to really watch his shows on Friday nights.  He is so dreamy and his remarks and jokes on tv are so damn HAWT and cute and.... ok, better not get carried away.  ;)

  Yeah, I was getting pretty peeved to see only hot chicks because I was like "hey, where are the guys and the older ladies?"  That's good to know that he did pick up older ladies and did one episode with a guy.  

  I wonder if he's married.... ;)

Oh yeah. I remember that sugar treats. Looks cool but messy.

  What you say makes sense, PC. I don't know if I would get offended if he ever picked me. The fact that he thinks I'm cute enough to be on the telly or that I can't cook on national tv. Then again a gourmet meal by him is awesome though.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 17 07 10:59
Yes, I have done Shepard's pie, Lise.  I don't know if I was doing it correctly but here is what I do.

  Take finely chopped veggies and stir fry.  Take veggies like onions, green peas, leeks, carrots, celery, peppers, etc.  Whatever you have an feel like having.

  Mix these in with the ground beef.

  Then, boil some potatoes and mash them.  I saw on the cooking channel that sour cream added to mashed potatoes is a secret.  Then, in a glass rectangle dish, (don't remember the size), add your beef with veggies and then spread the mashed potatoes on top.  

  Then, let it grill/bake slowly in the oven (all your food is cooked at this time, it just needs to mould together)  When you see that the top of the potatoes is of brown color, then you're good to go.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jan 17 07 11:14
Russ, that's what I find with Brunswick......VERY strong fishy taste.  Much milder, delicate flavour with the other brand.

  Lise, there has to be some kind of gravy base in with the ground beef.  I do veggies separate.  Veggies on bottom layer.....meat and gravy next layer (it doesn't need to be slopping around in gravy).....just enough to bind and a little more to give the mashed potatoes a little extra dip.....which of course are on the top layer.  I like a little cheddar grated on top too.

  Boo. I got a tray of ground turkey and was thinking of doing Shephard's Pie. Ah well.

 Russ, that's what I find with Brunswick......VERY strong fishy taste.  Much milder, delicate flavour with the other brand.



Lise, there has to be some kind of gravy base in with the ground beef.  I do veggies separate.  Veggies on bottom layer.....meat and gravy next layer (it doesn't need to be slopping around in gravy).....just enough to bind and a little more to give the mashed potatoes a little extra dip.....which of course are on the top layer.  I like a little cheddar grated on top too.  [/DIV]
 I agree with your way PC. When I helped make some of these, that was the way. Make it separate then put it together and throw it in the oven to finish it off.. and I agree with mr Gopher, cheese is a must!

It won't taste the same, Lise.

  You can make ground turkey patties, Lise.  Take them, add eggs, oats and wheatgerm to hold the mixture together.  Then, I make the patties.

  I like the oats and wheat germ to add that healthy touch to my meat balls.  You can go further and add flax seed.  Very good and totally healthy.  Yes, I'm a health nut (on occasion only)

Well, making gravy with ground beef is a little tricky, so you have to enhance it a bit with some kind of beef boulion or French dip powder (ok in a pinch), but what I usually do, is when I have a roast beef, I always make a little extra gravy and freeze it......much nicer tasting.

  After you brown your beef, remove it from the pan, drain the pan leaving just the bits that have cooked to the bottom.  I add a tablespoon or two of olive oil and turn the heat high (ish).  Sprinkle in a tablespoon and a bit of flour and cook it into the oil.  When it's sizzling and browning, add water and whisk it to make it smooth.  Start with smaller amounts of water....maybe 3/4 of a cup to start.  (it's easier to make it a little thinner, than to thicken it back up) Season, or add a little boulion at this point, to taste.

Nope. Too much work for lasagne.

  I just get the frozen ones from Save-On Foods. The Western Family. What I do is a cheater's way. I open a can of kidney beans, frozen veggies, dump everything onto a baking dish, then top with the frozen lasagne from Save-On. Cheat way but easy on my life and everyone would go, "Wow".

Have you ever made spaghetti sauce, purelife ?  If so, same thing, but a little thicker.  Layer between noodles.  Between one of the layers of noodles, put cottage cheese, with an egg beat into it and seasoned.  Finish top layer with noodles, and smother in mozza.

I put lots of meat into my lasagne sauce, also I put shredded beef into it (I usually make this after a roast). Onions and diced whole tomatoes are put into it as well. I make the sauce and simmer it first. The cheese I put in as a middle layer as well just because.

BOO!

Good evening everyone who is online and active.  :)  *waves*

I brought that Clover Leaf brand of sardines and I have to say that they are more yummy than the Brunswick ones.  I think that it's because they are tinier compared to the Brunswick.  And, they're Norwegian sardines, if that makes a difference AND packed in tasty, more expensive olive oil than the other one.  Thanks PC for mentioning this brand.  I wouldn't have ever looked out for them before!  I also brought Clover Leaf Kippered Fillets.  That was yummy too.  Mmmm...I'm liking this clover leaf brand.  

I have enough sardines to last me for a week.  

LOL... I had to share with you my cravings for sardines.  I take it that it's my body telling me that I'm missing these omega fat nutrients.  Hmmm...I wonder what next week'll be.  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/13.gif)

 I had sardines and kipper with an apple for dinner.  Something simple.  

Walmart had these Cloverleaf brand for cheap, Lise (under 2 bucks something.)  

You can also stir fry that turkey ground beef with veggies.  I did that once with ground lean pork and everyone loved it.  It was simple and easy to make.

Good price on the Cloverleaf, Sportsdude.  They are $2.89 here (varying from place to place) and Brunswick are 77 cents at Walmart.  Trust me.....I'd way rather pay the 2.89.

  I think there is something in them, that  my body craves.  I can go for weeks without thinking about them, and then all of a sudden, it will occur to me that I NEED them NOW.  I'm a firm believer in body signals, and I think there is something in them that I clearly NEED.  Good thing they are so yummy.

I've got a story...something funny that JUST happened.

  Anyways, the Director of my department came out and started to talk to us.  We started talking about Zidane and how head-butted that guy during that soccer match and then how men protect women like their wife, sister, mother, grandmother, etc.  Then, he told us that one of his friends said that his son "sucked."  And because his son isn't allowed to swear back to defend himself, he says "Well, you blow and you're losing, so we're winning."  (something like that)

  THEN, I said to my Director and everybody else who heard me, "Well, you could tell your son to say "Real men know how to suck and little boys blow"  Ok, work is getting a little carried away.  I'm glad that I work with cool people who didn't give me crap for saying such a provocative, derrogative statement.

  SH*T, I learned that from the guys at DV.  LOL!

Morning Miss PC!

  Change the U-Joint on a truck.. then go shopping for hotpot tonight. We made a convert out of one of my redneck buddies who pretty much doesnt eat anything not 'from here' as he puts it. But he wants a hotpot at his place tonight. He told myself and RSS to go buy whatever we need for eight people and to give him the bill.

I MUST try this soon.  I can't believe I'd never heard of this before Lise spoke of it.  I've told Mr. P.C. about it, and he's definitely up for this.

Dont worry! You'll enjoy it..

  Dishwasher works good! The first load we did came out cleaner than the last one, so thats a bonus.. No leaks or squeeks so its working in my books. My dad was down poking at it though for some reason, asked him not to, so I dont know how much longer it will last.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I have one of those ball-bearing dishwashers.  It works perfectly, but needs regualr care.

  I'm wondering where I will have the best shot at finding hotpot ingredients around here.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 19 07 08:44
Our old dishwasher (maytag), while older, we would keep repairing it when it would break because it was good for so long. When it started leaving speckles on the plates and we were prewashing some, it was time. We got ours used though from a relative, they were renovating their kitchen and were just going to throw out their old one.. heard about that and rescued it.

      No need for special ingredients. Just buy stuff at your local supermarket. You can slice up the meats on your own.

I can't remember if it was the retail price 3.09 from the website or what Dierbergs had which I thought was 4ish/5ish.  But I'll check when I go to the grocery store.  I love this type of food wish I could make it.

  There's two great asian places within a mile from my house

Monsoon- Thats the famous place where SD gave a nice girl a 10 dollar tip lol (Vietnamese) I told my mom this and she said that the girl probably makes more money then I do.  I said yeah whatever, told her everyone at the place had the same last name so I gather that its run by a single family.  The girl looked bored she was just sitting there.  The cook was this older lady she was spent she cooked herself some Pho. lol

  Then there's Manee Thai that serves Thai food obviously.

  My parents are finally asking me what are the good places around since I visit mom and pop and non american food places the most.  What took them so long? geesh

  Speaking of instant noodles, you guys have gotta try this one. I found this one courtesy on my parents and it's really good. I love the abalone and chicken flavor. You can have two noodles in one packet. It's a bit more pricey than the usual ones out there but well worth it. Give it a try.

  Found these puppies at the Crystal Mall and T&amp;T Supermarket.

 LOL I dont have a clue to be honest miss Lise and miss purelife. We were shopping at crystal mall then T&amp;T for over an hour and a half. So we hit the food court in Metro cause he didnt trust the food court in Crystal (I was severly disappointed, I really wanted to eat  there :(   ). Then he decided that he wanted to shop for a sweater.. then after four stores (ten mintues) I asked him what he was looking for and he responded 'I dont know'. That was it for me. I suggested Costco. Or a mental hospital, told him they would have special sweaters for him.

 They'll send you to a specialist.  Regular dentists don't pull wisdom teeth it goes under dental surgery.  They'll put you to sleep the surgery you will be fine but when you wake up its pure hell.  I lost a ton of weight after my wisdom teeth removal.  Just ate pudding and mash potatoes.  Oh your Valentines day isn't ruined your guy can take care of you.

Dentists these days do pull out wisdom teeth if they are simple extractions. My dentist told me that it's a simple extracting and he will do them.  If they are complicated, ie, can't pull out, too angled, etc, THEN they'll send me to a Specialist.  It's different than where you are at, SD.  I don't know what happened to my forth.  Ah well.

  I guess the flu shots really work. Anybody else have them?

I haven't needed a flu shot.  Heck I haven't been sick in years.

I never took the flu shots.  I heard that it's not so great for you.

I havent been sick in years either SD. I started taking flu shots these last two years tho.

  I have over thirteen different immunizations so I figured a years flu shot was nothing. lol.

Yeah I know its weird last time I can remember I was sick was when I was in my first high school back in '01 or 02. lol

Surprised you haven't been sick in a while since you spend a lot time in Africa.

I'm not too surprised because I hear that the immune shots work wonders!  And I guess it depends on which part of Africa?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 22 07 01:25
Yeah but there's only so much immunization shots can do I think. Africa is to us in this day as we were to the Natives when we came over here from Europe back in the 16th/17th/18th/19th century.  They hadn't been exposed to diseases like the euros had.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 22 07 01:27
I'm sorry but what do the Natives have to do with this?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 22 07 01:33
I attributing it to the immunizations, and also to the fact I have been going to africa off and on for the past 8 years.. so I have a natural immunity as well to some of the local bugs.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 22 07 01:34
 When the Europeans came over here 300-400 years ago they ran into the native americans. Then the native americans all go sick and died because they had not been exposed to the many diseases the Europeans had.

When someone goes to Africa now its the opposite. We are the vulnerable ones who haven't been exposed to diseases like the people there have.  Its simple science.  If you test a persons blood from the Congo for example I bet they have stronger immune systems for things like Malaria and such.  They've been through it before bodies adapt.  While I bet they haven't been exposed to the FLU before.  Therefore if they haven't and niether has their village somebody could go over there with the flu one of the villagers contracts it and then you come back a year later and you learn that the village was wiped out by the influenza. Thats what happened to the Native Americans.

 I have to say I agree with part of this and partially agree with the rest.

  I agree with how they are alot hardier than we are in NA. They do have a much stronger natural and built up immunity to things like malaria and typhoid and such..  But they can still get Malaria, and the colds they have there are MUCH stronger than ours.. they get sick from the flu like we do. I say they give us the colds... a cold from in africa will knock you on your ass. I was in my bunk for a week just screwed before.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 22 07 01:41
They've done studies on why some people in Africa don't get Malaria and some people have grown to be immune.
Also TB, you don't see TB here anymore while over there its everywhere.

I agree that most have a natural immunity.. Thats why I said most cannot get malaria. However I know of one local african that I knew personally who got malaria. He lived there his whole life.

 

 Also TB, you don't see TB here anymore while over there its everywhere.

  Hmm you didn't know this? Have you been to a local hospital there? First signs that someone has HIV in Africa is that they get TB.  In fact thats what usually kills them first.  So people will then say they died of TB instead of saying that they had HIV.

I've got to find numbers on this.

 No I didnt, I dont know everything lol. I honestly dont know alot about HIV, I know some of the basics.

  I have been to the hospitals in africa, and if at all possible I avoid them. Its not like what you see here... When I was in there I was in and out as fast as possible, I didnt go wandering through.

  You know, talking about hospitals... I mean, we call complain about the lack of services here or the extremely long waiting time... for me, I'm just grateful I can see an emergency doctor within a few hours. Many places elsewhere, like Africa, for example, you can't even get to a doctor for many days. I'm just thankful. It could do with improvement but I'm not about to potty mouth our healthy system.

That's terrible to hear, Lise.  I hope that there's nothing to worry about.  It's very normal for little kids to throw up.  She might be getting the flu.  Do you give her acetaminophen?  Or she has the nasty bug that she's trying to get rid of.  Awww...poor Lise Jr.  I heard that milk makes things worse.  Lotsa warm fluids.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 23 07 10:25
I'm not sure what to feed her. Gotten to the point where I'm afraid of putting things in her... y'know, in case she decides to throw it back up into my face.

  I gave her soup and she threw that up. She's not having a fever (so no medicine) but she just can't seem to get her food down. *sigh*

  Anyways, I'll see if she'll take the leftover congee today for lunch.

if she can't keep her food down then yeah you need to see the doc asap.
Plus if she got sick from you its a form of the flu you have of course.  My bet stomach flu.  That would explain why she throws up all the time.

Alaska on a cruise ship. Twas a short trip but well worth it. I can remember being so cold. Wind whipping your hair into a frenzy, everything was wet.... then we manage to go into this small place just out by the port. Bought the chowder because I wanted to sample something Alaskan and thought it was one of the best soup ever. This, after coming from a cruise ship that serve gourmet meals every day.

  Have you ever had ginger candy, Lise?  the ones coated with some sugar?  I'm not sure if you can eat them (with the sugar) but they do help colds and such.  I have it almost everyday for the antioxidents.

Seafood in Australia is awesome. You can't get some of the fish here like barramundi or yabbis.(strange looking prawns) They're more known for grilling their seafood or just having a cold platter. I miss those. Yummy.

  Here's a typical seafood platter. Looks almost exactly the same one I had from the Fish Market at Sydney.

You've had those, Russ!?  Awesome!  Again, I don't know many guys (besides asian guys) who'd eat this stuff.  Whenever I buy speciality looking foods, my b/f gives me this weird look and says "no thanks."  LOL.  Oh well, his loss.

  Oh, last night, I had 2 ripe avocadoes.  I had a craving.  "Ewwwww" said Russ again! LOL.

  SD, moon cakes are generaly sold in the fall when the chinese have their moon festival.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I snuck the sardines into my room, closed the door and opened my window so the smell would go out of the house.  If I had the sardines in the kitchen I'd get yelled at.

Gopher, YOU ROCK!  

  You can try finding any kind of black bean cake or dessert, SD.  They taste similiar to the moon cakes.  Anything with a bean paste is similiar to mooncakes' taste.

Thanks on the ginger brand, purelife. I'll definitely give it a try if it'll help my stupid cough go away.

  Preserved squid. Yep. Tried that too. Good stuff. Am somewhat addicted to these Chinese snacks. They're not good for your thighs and waist but oh, they taste so damn good.

  Speaking of snacks, does anyone ever eat those pork rinds any more? I've tasted some before marrying my hubby. Those were quite delicious!

Meetings can be such a drag. I know what you mean. I've been in meeting where nothing really gets going for like 1/2 hour and then you're counting down the minutes before it ends. I've been in one where the dentist would like go on and on about how to increase production (as if we can go any faster - he's the one doing the work) and how we should be aware of wasting products in the office. C'mon, you work in an environment where you deal with blood and saliva and you're worried about wasting too much disinfectant. What a noob.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 23 07 03:14
Those meetings tell me that the company isn't doing so well financially.  I can't believe that they would try to cut corners to save money.  But, almost all companies do this.  If our company tried to cut corners in terms of an employees comfort, they would get sued.  For example, if they tried to tighten us up together, put in more desks and such to crowd our space right now, and if the person starts to have health problems and such and can prove it, our company would get sued.

Meh. Meetings are always the low point on anyone's career. It's never about how well your employees are doing or how we can all work together to achieve a common goal. It's mostly about your boss basically telling you to shape out or ship out.

 I have actually found that US prices for alot of foods are cheaper, like alot cheaper.

On the same token I went to a red robins up here in Cda and had a burger fries and beer. The next day went down to Bellingham with a buddy so he could do some shopping for models and toys that you cant get up here in Cda. Wouldnt you know it, he saw a Red Robins and guess where we went, well after we ordered my bill came to EXACLTY (taxes prices not same) the same in USD that it was in CDN. The price of the beer was the same too, not cheaper.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 24 07 01:56
Speaking of US/Cdn prices, my b/f buys comics all the time and notice the large difference in US/Cdn cover prices.  Really, retails should use the US cover price.  (this could also apply to books as well) because of the exchange.  We found one comic shop on Main Street that sells comics in the US cover price.  That is only fair, I think.

 (thought I'd take this out of the person below me thread)

Russ, are you using a deep fryer?

If you are, chances are it's not getting hot enough.  We have had 2, and niether got hot enough.  The temperature setting SAYS it's hot enough, but it's not.

  If your food takes too long to cook, it's greasy.

You should use either peanut oil or canola or veg oil.  Anything else has too low of a smoking point.

  Your food should be dry and at room temperature before putting in oil.

Don't over-crowd your pot.  Takes the temperature down too low, too long.

  If you don't have an oil thermometer, cut a 1"cube of bread and throw it in.  It should bubble and brown within 30 to 45 seconds.

    How'my doin.  Did I answer ANY of the questions you had....lol

$13.00 for a pizza you have to bake yourself is expensive but it's not something I do all the time. No wonder the place was dead. The only cheaper deal is the pepperoni pizza for $6.00.

  49er - I did pick the garlic chicken but had to opt for the red sauce because hubby said no creamo.

  I think Ally would shake her head here too hearing the price differences between the USD and Cdn. It's worst when you're in Brit-Land.

If I was doing fried chicken, I wouldn't use a deep fryer.  I would use a good old seasoned iron skillet preferable with a lid.  Fried chicken is fried in 1/2" of oil.  Deep fried usually scorches the batter before the chicken is cooked through and if you lower the temp so that the batter browns slower, then it gets too greasy.  Also you absolutely can't get a crisp on anything if the oil isn't hot enough.  Kind of a catch 22.

 Hey Ms. PC.... how is cleaning the fryer? That's one of the many reason why I don't have one is the clean-up and the amount of oil one has to use.

  Easy peasy.  Pour it into a big bowl with cheese cloth stretched over the top to strain out any 'bits'. Wash out the deep fryer and replace the strained oil. (Most often a good wipe on the inside of the fryer with paper towel is good, as long as you don't leave any sediment in it).  The oil is reusable.  You can either keep it in the fridge or in the fryer itself.  When it takes on a darker colour, then you can replace it.

  Hey Russ.  For your shrimp, I can recommend an excellent batter. I'll make just about anything from scratch, but I gave up on trying to find the perfect batter.  For shrimp, I use a batter MIX called Peppy's.  Nice delicate crisp and really light....almost like a tempura batter. Makes the best onion rings too....and perfect for fish.

SD....trust me......fried food isn't particularly good for you....but if cooked properly, it's not particularly bad for you.  But one thing for certain, it isn't worse than a hot dog or a hamburger. (especially a hot dog)

Fries cooked properly are no worse than a baked potato with butter and or sour cream.

Have you ever had deep fried parsley ?  It's awesome.  I usually make it for a garnish because it looks great......but it's yummy too.  It looks like a piece of coral and colapses in your mouth.  It's SO good.  So if you're deep frying tonight Russ, grab a few sprigs of parsley and toss them in at the end.  It only takes seconds to come to a delicate crisp.

  this is what they said:

[FONT color=#253a70 size=4]Ideal frying temperature is about 365 degrees F (185 C) - ascertained with a frying thermometer or by dropping a 2" square of bread in the hot oil - it should turn golden brown in about 60 seconds.[/FONT]

  [FONT size=2] THE LONELY BRAIN CELL

 

 Once upon a time there was a female brain cell which, by mistake,

 happened to end up in a man's head.

 She looked around nervously because it was all empty and quiet.

 " Hello?" she cried, but no answer.

 "Is there anyone here?" she cried a little louder, but still no answer.

 Now the female brain cell started to feel alone and scared and yelled at the top of her voice,

 

 "HELLO, IS THERE ANYONE HERE?"

 Then she heard a faint voice from far, far away..............

 

 &gt; &gt;&gt;

yeah its been really really tough for her.  I can't believe she was living on her own down on the farm for 6 years after grandpa died.  Especially after her mini stroke.  She just isn't always 'there' if you know what I mean.  Whats even more bizarre is down on the farm her sons live not even a mile away and they never came to visit.  She's got a bladder issue and what really got her down was she was taking a bath in the hot tub and mom couldn't get her out she was stuck and I had to pull her out of the bath tub.  That really was the breaking point for her.  Plus she's fallen about 3 times, tripping over herself.

Didn't you just get over a flu not too long ago?

  I'm also just about to recover. Blasted cough's still with me and I got my flu shots last October. Still... I think it would have far worst had I not gotten the flu shots. Maybe you should get one this year, tenkani. We ain't gettin' any younger, yo.

  Try to load yerself up with plenty of Vitamins Cs and plenty of fluids. Keep well and hasty recovery, amigo.

I've seen things on UTube that could make a billygoat puke.

Lise, luckily I almost never get the flu, just these stupid achy colds.
There is this guy in my office, Winston, whose kids always get sick, then he brings their diseased essence into the office and it spreads like wildfire. Why are kids so diseased?? Parents need to wash them more often!!!

EDIT: P.S. thank you for caring. I'm sure I will live    :)

Yeah, you know I totally agree. If you're sick, don't be noble, just stay home for crying out loud. I think all companies should encourage and pay their sick employees to stay home till they get better. Better than spreading the germs around and getting everyone miserable.

Oh not too bad. I had a glance at DV on the monkey thread. Apparently, Mike's saying and I quote, "my emotions getting in the way of my sensibility" or some rubbish. Isn't that quaint?

  Anyways, I'm through with DV. Nothing but muck and a loser who's spearheading the ship of doom. Mark my words, it'll only be a matter of time before DV will get nailed so hard, Mike's ass will bleed for months.

  Evening's been fine otherwise. Made chicken rice. Mother-in-law surprised us with homemade samosas. Delicious!!

Well, I am sorry PC, but the frying got delayed again :( I actually got a bunch of the stuff as well. I pulled out my thermometer for the deep fryer and got a bunch of chicken.

  We were supposed to meet up with an Aunt from out of town, but she ended up meeting with my parents LOL. So they called us at the last minute and cancelled us coming to dinner with them! So we decided we wanted pasta and pulled this place from the book.

been a while since I been here but WOW. Im sitting here burbling. Awesome food and awesome ambiance. We sat there and chatted the whole meal.

What happened was I have a lady dentist who just gets on my case all the time about plaque and such and I'm a very visual person so instead of her talking to me you were talking to me.  Then you had tree problem in your yard and I removed them easily.  When I dreamt of that one, it was because the week before I was removing a dead tree from my yard and you had been talking about tree or shrub problems.  

So no biggie really.  I get all these dreams all the time.  Like my worst dream evar was when President Bush was torturing me. good times.

So they don't mean anything.

Uhm. OK, SD. *shuffling back*

  My dreams usually involve school. I don't know why. Like I'm always back at highschool, always waiting to do exams I don't understand. Meh. I think I've some issues I haven't resolved from my school days.

When I'm down I usually have this re-occuring 'happy place' dream where I'm on a farm in the mountains.

I didn't know that WS sold cheesecake until I heard this lady telling this guy how much she loves WS's cheesecakes!  Yes, I was eavesdropping, but but...I heard the word "cheeeeessecake!"  mmmmmmm......

Bread Garden has cheesecakes too?  I've gotta try.  Oh, and Superstore sells tasty New York cheesecake.  I was quite impressed with the taste.  
Thanks guys.  Now I've got to have cheesecake this weekend.  Tonight would be better. :P  MMMMmmmmmmmm.....

I haven't had it for years, but when I used to have it, it was consistantly the same year after year after year.  IF it's still the same, it's how cheesecake was meant to be.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 26 07 06:54
Sometimes you can get discounts from Superstore with regards to their cheesecakes. Just look out for their flyers.

  Used to make cheesecakes before the kids. Now I'm lucky if I could bake brownies.

Mr. P.C. makes a mean cheesecake.  *these are not calorie-wise*  Personally my favourite is the basic NY.....but he's made some that can convert any cheesecake purist.  Like his B-52......and his Kahluah (sp?) cheesecake are nummy.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 26 07 07:02
Wow. Mr. PC can bake? I'm so amazed!! Can you send him over so he can at least teach my husband how to do the basic stuff?? Sounds so yummy.

He doesn't bake a lot.....but he's a great cook.  I made him a cheesecake when we were first going out, and he was absolutely dumbfounded.  That was it.  He wanted to learn everything.  He's a gutsy cook......he'll peruse the net and cook something for company without even giving it a 'test run'.....and it's always fabulous.  Me?.....gotta give it a trial run before I do it for company....lol

Evening everyone.

Wow, I'm impressed to hear that Mr PC makes the best cheesecake.  He can bake and cook?  Awesome.  I don't know many men who can cook.

I'm going to get my guy to take cooking lessons.  I wonder if that'll help.  He wants to learn though.  Whenever I'm cooking, I have him cook with me.  It makes it more fun.  :)

Aww. That's so sweet and romantic. Y'know, nothing is sweeter than a guy making dinner for you. I've told my husband many, many times. That I would prefer that he cook a simple meal (even boil a damn egg) than give me flowers. He's been resistant to my demands. Claims not even a Klingon can force him to do it.

    I don't know if anyone has ever watched the cooking show by Alton Brown.  (Good Eats)  It's different from the cooking shows where the purpose is to cook a specific recipe.  He actually teaches about the science of food and cooking.  Like, what makes one type of potato make good potato salad, but would make very bad whipped potatoes or bad fries.  Once you learn all those 'basics' of food, then you can make your own recipes and know before hand why or THAT they will work.  He does it with a lot of corny humour.....but he's really quite entertaining, and he sure knows his stuff.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 26 07 09:17
Woot! Greetings Ms. kitten!! Miss you tons!!

  Hey, I watched Alton Brown. He's funny!! Who woulda thought that a lot of science goes into what you're cooking. Have you seen his other show where he crosses all over America, eating in little Moms and Pops restaurants? He's very down-to-earth and one of the better chefs on TV.

  I can't stand Bobby Flay... ugh... that guy's got too much up his noggin. Kinda arrogant.

Post by: kitten on Jan 26 07 09:24
I used to watch cooking shows on the Food Channel, but I haven't seen any in quite a while.  I wish someone would come out with a show about cooking for one.  I need some interesting things that aren't too complicated.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 26 07 10:33
 Found It!



I watched it everyday growing up as a kid.  I'd get home from school I'd watch the afternoon seasame street then this guy painting a picture then the cooking show, then came Reading Rainbow with that guy from Star Trek (the blind guy), then Where in the World is Carmen San Diego (hence why I'm really good at geography).

In the mornings it was Mr. Rodgers and Seasame Street. I wouldn't go to preschool until I'd see the entire episode of Seasame street which would end at 9am when school started at 9:05 lol. Yup I was a PBS kid.
 

EDIT: It was FRUGAL  Gourmet with the guy and the big  beard
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f6/Frugal_gormet.jpg)

I remember when he was taken off the air, over something that was never proved he did.

he was interesting to watch for a 5-9 year old to like a cooking show takes a lot.  For example I watched Julia Childs a couple times when I was little and I'd fall asleep like I'd do on the late christmas eve service at church on the floor with a blanket next to my friend she'd do the same lol, even my dad's music couldn't keep me awake.  Thats what a Julia Childs show was for me, brain went nap time. zzzzz. lol (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)

 Marmite? &lt;shudder&gt; I have had a phobia about that stuff since i was young and went to my grandmothers for breakfast.. she made me that and when I was halfway through my piece of toast I saw a dead beetle that was in the jar of marmite she had made.. and it had obviously been in there for a while.. havent touched the stuff since. Stragne isnt it? You are scared of something since your youth.

Heya Russ.  Nothing really new and exciting.  Just taking it easy because I still feel a bit crappy.  I don't really want the flu.  
 
 The muffler of the car fell out and I've just waiting for my brother to help me put it back on.  I have no idea how it fell off in the first place.  I sure hope that he can put it back on later.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 27 07 02:06
Muffler fell off? Does it sound louder or is it just dropped down? Mufflers and pipes tend to rust out. If it does.. you might get lucky and have a bolt together piece or you are going to have to change the whole unit. You might be able to get muffler cement and a coffee can or something...

  If its louder you have a hole, if its just dropped down it might be one of the holddowns.

I'm having a great day, thanks for asking Russ.  I'm fininshing up a billion little unfinished bits all over the house.  A piece of trim here, a piece of trim there.....a piece of baseboard behind the door, that I ignored when I redid the floors.....you know......stuff like that.  Feels good to get it done.  When I picked the paint for the workshop, I chose the same colour that I had done the trim in the house with.  I was out, which is why I never finished the job.  Now I have lots......and no more excuses.

You must feel great to get things around the house done.  It always gives me a great sense of enjoyment whenever I get some things fixed around the house, even simple things as cleaning the house.  I feel that I can just sit back and really relax without thinking about the items that have not been done.  Do you feel that as well, PC?

  I sure do purelife.  Very satisfying.  You walk by these little things every day, and you try to pretend they look OK.....lol

Then when you finally get it done, you think.....why didn't I do that before.  I could have been enjoying it all this time instead of letting it badwordle away at my guilt factor.

I painted the living room this week, so it inspired me to finish up.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 27 07 02:42
I think that for some things, you just have to be in the mood.  For example, my fridge top was so disorganized with papers and recipe books.  The book shelves and linen closet was in total chaos with everything inside.  It was full of my personal papers and computer hardware stuff.  Then last week, my b/f and I were cleaning and he went through all the shelves, the linen closet and the fridge top and organized those.  Oh my gosh, I was happy to see that he did those and did an excellent job.  hee hee...
 
 Does Mr PC like to do the handywork as well, or are you the main person?
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Mr P.C. has recently developed an interest in these things.  That's why we built the new workshop.  Of course he's one of those types that decided he needed all the best tools.  I've had do with my dads old stuff for years.  But oh well....it works for me, I'm sure not complaining about an upgrade....I just find it a little comical.  And it DOES make a difference.  I used the new table saw for the first time yesterday.  WOW.  The difference between that one and my old one is like the difference between driving a jaguar and a old rust bucket.

  Isn't it amazing the feeling when you organize something as simple as the top of your fridge.  And to have it done FOR you is a double bonus. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c014.gif" border=0]

Nice. I've heard about the new one, always wanted to go but no chance. I've visited the one in Richmond just to check out what the fuss was about. Now I think I'll try and get the salmon puff. Always good to get recommendations.

  Oh aaa.... cream puffs are so rich. You can't stop eating just one!! It's cheaper at Cosco if memory serves me right. I just love to eat them straight out of the freezer.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jan 27 07 05:05
The salmon Wellington was $4.99, but it is big and well worth the price.  The mini cream puffs were $3.99 and there are quite a lot in the package.  If you buy 4 packages of cabbage rolls  (3 in a package) they are $1.99 each.  Looks like decent pricing for good food.  The new one in North Burnaby opened just recently, and it's only a block from my place.

Yep Lise, the bestest are the ones from costco and frozen they taste the best. Thats bad news thinking about it.. I have three containers in my chest freezer, LOL.

  Really kitten? I didnt realize that they came in servings that small.. I usually buy the 30 pack. I would bake them, you could put them in a fondue pot as well after you warm them up and put them on the table for serving.

  Theres some other really good things from there that I like to buy but Im drawing a blank.

      So whats everyones plans for din din? Im thinking about ditchmond sushi with some friends.

Does anyone know if these bamboo steamers are sold in Crystal Mall and if so, for how much approximately?  I'm sure that chinatown has them, but that's a bit out of my reach.  Has anyone used these before for cooking?  I was just given a huge wok and saw on the "Take Home Chef" show that Curtis was putting a whole tilapia in this steamer and placed it over the wok.  And he put this jasmine tea bag into the water and steamed asian pears for dessert.  It was pretty interesting.

What do you love about them compared to all of the other steamers, PC?  I usually use the metal ones where you just stick it in a pot.  Oh, and what kind of foods do you like to steam in these shoots?  I'm just looking for ideas.

Hi all,

  Canna stay too long. Bamboo steamers.... not sure how much they cost at the Crystal Mall. I usually do my steaming in a corningware plate, then in my wok with water. My kitchen is small so I can't buy big stuff like those bamboo steamers. No space. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)

  I find that if you have a wok that's big enough and a wire rack, you can actually steam fish in it. I've done it and it works quite well. Even steaming eggs was not a problem.

Went to the Autoshow, had a blast!

I easily could fit into the Toyota Yaris much to the shock of about 20 people watching me go into the car. I think a girl fainted when she saw me get out of the car and went OMG he can fit in that? LOL LOL.  I love it when people see me in small cars.  I'm so anti big cars yet I'm so frickin huge.  I've been around trucks my entire life and I've never felt comfortable in them (although I do like the small Nissan truck Frontier).

Loved the Honda Fit (Its so me even my friend agreed), Honda Civic (my family loves the new design), Kia Optima, Hyudai Elantra. Loved the Toyota Yaris hatch (hate the sedan). I love sitting in the Scion xB. (the box still rocks!) and I loved sitting in the back of a 100 thousand dollar Lexus. Thats my limo, I felt like I was Lionel Luthor in Smallville, who always is seen in a limo. And of course the Mini Cooper. best car ever.  The redesigned one is even better then the old model.  I've got more room, tons of it actually, the gauges are better and the seats are awesome (the old seats in the old model were very hard and hurt my back).  If I ever got a good job that would be the car I'd want.

I talked to two ladies there who worked for Mini and Toyota.  Both of the hot asian girls were stunned that I could fit easily into the Yaris and the Mini.  

I had a blast.

Morning all, I got whupped at monopoly last night after all of us went to Richmond Sushi.

  Dim Sum and Chicken Feet.. I actually forgot about that till I saw Lise's post.

  First time I went to Dim Sum and I went to a small place with a buddy when I used to work at Chevron. I had no idea what to expect, my buddy kept telling me it was great, all the food was awesome and they came around with carts so you eat as much as you want.

  I had grabbed over ten dishes at one point, and I had enjoyed all of it, no idea what half of it was but it was good. So I noticed they had a cup like dish with two tall deep friend straw looking things, only at the top it went into a 'T'. I had no idea what it was but cause I havent had any problems I grabbed it. My friends noticed and asked if I was sure I wanted that.. I looked at them and said sure why not? So I took a big bite and started chewing... from crunchy, to leathery, to super chewy??? Then my teeth hit something hard.. and my tongue started wandering.. wtf? I spit out and saw bone.. and then saw the toes of the leg.. and my stomach started turning, the world started spinning. My friends got a panicked look on their faces and directed me to the washroom. As soon as I got near the door I started losing it.. and the whole restaurant knew something didnt agree with me. LOL. When I came out the waitress tried to give me damages charges when I hadnt broken anything... we paid our bill and not the so called damages lol. The best part was when I finally came out the restaurant was emptier.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 28 07 10:15
Morning Russ and everyone else.
 
 Wow, what a story.  WTH?  Damage charges?  Was the restaurant going to compensate you?  Or were they going to bill you?  
 
 Anyways, gonna head out.  Nice n foggy outside.  See ya guys all later.  :)
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

UGH!!  What a nasty outcome, Russ.  I think that's the way I would react too.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 28 07 11:00
LOL. Ah, poor Russ, boy. That's definitely not a agood experience. Still, I wouldn't let that stop you from not eating dim sum your whole life. I love chicken feet though. Everyone just pales whenever I eat that in front of them but what the heck, I can't say no to them feet.

  The one thing I balked at eating dim sum (before marriage) was eating pig's blood. That's the one thing I will not try no matter how hard my parents tried to make me. Something about a dark red square sitting in a midst of black soup wasn't as appetizing.....

Speaking of good old sausages, have you tried the Chinese sausages. It's so..... well, I'm not fan of it but they let it hang up and dry for weeks. Has a salty distinct taste, usually found in stir fry noodles. I'm kinda grossed out by it actually.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I've tried the sweet sausages, but can't recall eating any salty ones.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kingy on Jan 28 07 11:12
ive had chicken feet a few times. it isnt bad in terms of taste but since there isnt really any 'meat' to it, it didnt do anything for me. it was pretty much all bones.

  ive had cow brains (i think it was cow brains) as well. umm..i guess it all depends on how you cook it.

Oh, I've had shark fin soup, I think.  It was at a chinese wedding.  Btw, I hate traditional chinese receptions/wedding.  They're soooo ssooo boring and sooo sooo plain.  Sometimes, I wonder if the groom and bride really love each other.  And the late policy?  What the heck?  I wouldn't take that kind of disrespect at mine.  Sorry, I have just changed the subject, once again.  ;)

Drinks are a bonus, if you dont want to.. dont. or serve two free then the rest cost.

pan fry? Never done that. I make burgers in the skillet thats pretty good. mmm

I had 2 salmon sandwiches and a diet coke.  My thai food can wait til tomorrow.


Say how do you say "pho".
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 29 07 11:17
LOL Russ.  You won't pan fry?  You have to pierce the hot dogs with a knife before pan frying them.  If you don't, the oil will splatter and flames will jump at ya.  I'm with your brother on the reasons of pan frying.  Try something new, Russ. ;)  hee heee...

  I usually just pronounce pho as what you see, "pho"  But, the real pronounciation is something more complicated.  It sounds like "fu"  as in the beginning of the word, f*ck.  So, just "fu" is how you really pronounce their soup.  I could be wrong.  Ask them.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Funny about pan frying those dogs... I thought I was the only one who would do that after boiling them. Not much nutrition left after boiling.... I mean, how much is there in a dog to begin with anyways.

Post by: Russ on Jan 29 07 11:28
Not that I care if someone tells me its wrong.. Im an ignorant white guy at certain things.. but I say pho like 'foe'. All of my friends do as well.. that Ive noticed anyhow. ACtually thinking about it, ive probably never cared to notice. LOL.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 29 07 11:28
I prefer to steam these dogs and then pan fry them.  Or, I just pan fry them right away.  My b/f usually cuts them up and fries them.  We buy the larger sausages...the bavarian smokies, I think.  We then dip them in ketchup.  Yummy.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 29 07 11:30
It's pronouced "pher" or "fur". The "p" is silent.

Post by: purelife on Jan 29 07 11:30
I'm with you on that "foe" thingee Russ.  I still pronounce it that way because everyone arond me says it this way.  It sounds better than "fuh"  It sounds too harsh.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 29 07 11:41
I can't duplicate the Vietnamese spring rolls. They use those paper thin sheets and mine nearly always break apart when I roll them. So I can't put them into the hot oil otherwise everything just falls apart.

  Chinese spring rolls I can make but I hate doing them. Too much work and way too greasy. I'm going to make a batch for Chinese New Year though because my hubby loves them and it's a once a year type thing.

The Super Bowl the most over hyped game on the planet.  Where 3/4 the people watching are not watching because of the game but because of the commericals and half time show.  Its not a sporting event its just one giant commerical event thats rather boring.  If the game is bad and the commericals suck then there are about 70 million angry people out there.  More people last year were interested in the big Grey's Anatomy show that came after the game.  Its not a football game anymore.  The football season is over with the two championship games.  The Super Bowl is just plain stupid. The crowd isn't even rooting for a team so its not loud, its gushed gushed like like there is no tomorrow. Its a pathetic sporting event that is only there to make money. Its lost its purpose of 'crowning a champion'

PL, if you figure out the car question let me know.

I'm also looking for a new/used car.

It will be my first so I'm sort of obsessing about the details.

But it sounds like we're looking for the same sort of vehicle. An emphasis on reliability and economy right? I thought about the Yaris but consumer reports does not recommend it. The Honda Fit is recommended although it seems to be a bit underpowered, but really that is the price you pay for great gas mileage. I have thought seriously about the Scion Xa, since I'm looking for a hatchback and it seems to have good reviews. Some people think it looks like a creepy bug. I think it's cute. I've also thought about the Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix for the extra cargo room (without giving up too much in terms of economy). Too many choices!!!

Anyway, hello Lunch Crew. I had a bowl of bibimbap and a large diet pepsi     :)

 The box still rocks! (directed at the Scion xB)
P.C. owns a matrix
Yaris is fine its just not a low emissions vehicle (at least not here) I can fit in so its big on the inside
The Fit is mobile all the seats fold flat into the floor creating a lot of cargo space.  Its the  peppiest of the bunch

If your looking at sub compacts here's a good comparo:

1. Honda Fit
Highs:[span class="subheadline"][/span] Overtly sporty handling, classy interior, quick-witted in all its moves.
Lows: Mediocre rear-three-quarter visibility, no dead pedal.
Overall: The go-kart of economobiles.

2. Nissan Versa
Highs: Superb ride-and-handling trade-off, a back seat for three adults, commanding view ahead.
Lows: Throttle overrun, narrow front seats, awkward recline levers.
Overall: If you're chiefly interested in commuting and errand hopping, this is the one.

3. Kia Rio5
Highs:  Fun styling, some pretense of handling, big cargo capacity.
Lows: Another rope-a-dope shifter, no automatic door locks, a name that still draws quizzical looks.
Overall:  Like finding a dollar bill in your bag of Fritos, it won't change your life but it's a pleasant surprise.

4. Toyota Yaris
Highs: Velvety ride, fun shifter, agile around town, best observed fuel economy.
Lows: Too much body roll, cramped rear seat, falls short on directional stability.
Overall: A good replacement for the Echo but not a great replacement for the Echo.

5. Hyundai Accent
Highs: Cushy ride, unimpeded sightlines, church-mouse quiet at idle.
 Lows: A shifter attached to rubber bands, undisciplined springs and struts.
Overall: If you like the Accent, be sure to drive its more practical cousin, the Kia Rio5.

6. Dodge Caliber
Highs: Air-conditioned glove box, illuminated cup holders, will haul a month's worth of groceries.
Lows: Clunky two-step shifter, vague steering, abrupt clutch.
Overall: Shows potential but needs more development.

7. Suzuki Reno
Highs:  Strong performance, spacious front footwells, comfortable seats, pillowy ride.
Lows: Spongy shifter, a queen of roll and yaw, too obviously an economy car.
Overall: Acceptably good at everything, superb at nothing.

LISE!!!  *hugz*

  I can provide the swede but not the car. Sorry    :(

And the loin cloth will cost you extra.

  I eat bibimbap every Tuesday because that is when they serve it.

If they served it every day then I would be an absolute bibimbap MACHINE!    &gt;:(

  I had a dream last night that I had borrowed someone's car and was driving slowly in a residential neighborhood. I was totally stressed out about sideswiping the parked cars. Then I couldn't seem to activate the braking mechanism. It wasn't like the brakes were out, it was like my foot was too weak or tired to push down on it. And I crunched into a parked car. I have had this dream several times. What do you think it means??    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 30 07 02:40
I had dreams about braking and the brakes not working. I think I read somewhere that it means you want to take control of your life but you feel like it's spirallling out of control. Like you're losing some control no matter how hard you try. You get me?

I've had a dream similiar to that, tenkani and lise.

  When I think of my dream, I relate it to my current life.  And at that time, my life was in turmoil and I had so many stresses and was sick often.  I felt that my life was out of control and that I felt helpless, that there was nothing in my power to change anything.  Anyways, that's my take on it.

We are looking at Toyotas actually, not the complete econo box like the Echo/yaris, but the corolla. We have a line on a 2003 with 60k on it, ac all that stuff for 8k. four door, and they are cheap on gas. I know th ediff cause I had to fill the tank of my loaner for quarter tank.. I know on my GMC its 25-30 dollars so I put that in... and completely filled the tank to full instead of 3/4's. lol.

  they hold their value better than any car longer.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 30 07 06:40
I like the Toyotas as well.  The only thing that I find with the older models is that the interior is very low.  So, for a tall person, you're hunched over.  One of my friends has an older model Toyota and it's terrible to sit in his car.  He's planning to get a bigger car to accomdate his taller friends.  I thought that he was joking, but he sounded serious to me.  hee hee...

Hullo PC and miss Kitten! I didnt realize that either of you were here.. but now that I think about it, i did see both your names online.

  I got a bunch more books for studying and did a number of questions..

  I got my truck back from the autobody shop. they shampooed and washed it, its never been that clean ever. They couldnt find used rear slider window or drivers window so I got new, and got new headlight units on both sides.

 LOL, uhm. Thats my other truck.. I have two running on the road right now.

  The one that ICBC just fixed was a 90 GMC, the one that I go slide into things with when camping is my toyota.

  Lets not talk about the other ones.

  Yeah, Im amazed at how fast, and efficient ICBC was. And the autobody place I went to is the best Ive ever heard of and seen. The quality of work was second to none, the customer service was great too! I would recommend them to anyone. Granted they didnt do any paint or body on my truck but they were completely profesional with how they did my work. And I saw some of their other work.. I wandered through the shop, top notch from what I saw.[/DIV]

Post by: Lise on Jan 30 07 09:06
Hey Russ, glad to hear you got your truck back.

  Hey speaking of ICBC, I heard that they're going to do away with AirCare? Apparently there's not enough old cars on the road anyways to warrant them checking your car every year. Since cars are more fuel efficient and produce 'less' emission, they want to scrap AirCare altogether. Can't say I blame them.

  Hullo Ms. kitten - glad to hear you're feeling better. (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/c015.gif)

Not too bad there, Ms. kitten. Just came back from shopping at Save-On Foods. Man o man, are chickens ever expensive. I think it's wayyyyy cheaper at T&amp;T. I don't understand the mark-up of chicken and salmon. Bleh.

  I've been bugging my hubby to take me to that M&amp;M Market place but he's not budging. Doesn't want to go near there. *sigh*
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 30 07 09:13
Yeah Lise, its what 2012 isnt it when they get rid of it? Ah well, therell be lots of older cars suddenly appearing on the roads.. you know what would work better than aircare? The old citytests.. now those actually did something. they would check the brakes all around, the condition of your tires, if the car runs and drives good, if theres not smoke or leaks. I mean, I drove an old truck I used to have up to air care to have it tested, and it would pass, but it was pretty much unsafe to be on the road with how rusty it was. As long as a car would pass, airscare cannot do anything. there was a lawsuit about that, they were taking comments and stuff on certain cars then passing it on to icbc.. they are not mandated or qualified to do that.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 30 07 09:18
Interesting. I didn't know that. Shows you what I know about cars and all that jazz.  My hubby doesn't think we need AirCare anyways. It's a waste of money from his point of view.

Post by: Russ on Jan 30 07 09:26

Top of the mornin' to yer, Ms. purelife. I hear ya about slippery pavements. I took my dog out the other day and almost slipped. Crazy frost on the ground.

  Having a wonderful day. Good sunshine, just planted some tulips...... ahhhh.....loving it.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 31 07 09:49
Morning Lise.  Planting tulips sounds awesome.  Do you also grow your own herbs?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 31 07 09:52
I grew some oregeno and these guys are spreading wild. Not sure what to do with them as they seemed indestructable. I've put them in salads but I can't really taste them so I just let them grow. Has a nice scent though.

  One easy plant to grow is green onions or shallots. You just buy those small bulbs in the grocery store, put them in the soil and you get those stalks whenever.

  Those are the only two herbs I grow. What about you? Grow any herbs yourself?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jan 31 07 09:56
Nope, not yet.  I will when I move into a proper place with a backyard.  I know that I'll love growing my own stuff.  

  My mom grows mints.  I notice that they're easy to plant and let it grow.  They smell great as well and go well in almost everything.  (like tea, congee, pho, etc).  In the summer, we get veggies from our friend's and family's garden.  So yummy.

  Oregano, you can put them in tomato sauces and marinades.  ie, with chicken.

I love the scent of mints. My mother still grows them. Maybe I'll do something like that. I've got some patches in the garden that's in dire need of some planting.

  Fresh oreganos are ok in salad but I prefer the dried ones especially in Greek salad.

  I  made a batch of homemade brownies, compliments of Superstore's no name brownie mix. So easy. Excellent with ice cream.

Hi Lise....purelife....Russ

  Mint takes over everything.  I plant it only in pots now so it doesn't strangle everything in sight.  Lise....there is a mint variety called Chocolate Mint.  It amazingly smells identical to After Eights.

  Oregano tends to become flavourless and tough after it is let to go wild year after year.  Cut it right back 3 or 4 inches from the ground, and it will grow fresh tender and flavourful .
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 31 07 10:08
There's such a herb as chocolate mint? Woot! I'm so looking forward to getting one. I've done lemony balmy mint... ok, don't know what it's called but it smells like lemony mint. That died down after a winter spell.

  Oh really? I do tend to cut down my oregano plant when it gets out of hand but never too much because I'm scared of killing the plant. But yeah, you're right, PC. Tasteless....... I never knew it can become like that if allowed to grow wild. Hm. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be pruning this puppy back more often now.

Well, they were created by the Yanks.

   Roots was founded in [A title=1973 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973"]1973[/A] by [A class=new title="Michael Budman" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Budman&amp;action=edit"]Michael Budman[/A] and [A class=new title="Don Green" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Don_Green&amp;action=edit"]Don Green[/A], formerly of [A title=Detroit href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit"]Detroit[/A], [A title=Michigan href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan"]Michigan[/A]. The store concept was based on their experiences at a summer camp called Camp Tamakwa in [A title=Ontario href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario"]Ontario[/A]'s [A title="Algonquin Park" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algonquin_Park"]Algonquin Park[/A] during their childhood.

 The company originally sold footwear at a single location in [A title=Toronto href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto"]Toronto[/A]. Its first product was the Roots Negative Heel Shoe. It has since expanded its line of merchandise to include items such as jackets, bags, watches, luggage, sweatshirts and fashion accessories.

Nope the here before canada store is owned by a guy from south carolina.  People seem to not care apparently, that nothing is Canadian owned anymore.  If you want need something to blame, blame NAFTA.  Nafta makes it easier for american companies to enter Canada while you end up working for them and making products for Americans to use.  Nafta = americans take over everything, you make their goods for the americans to use.  Its one sided.

Ack. I'm back for a bit. It's like changing poopy diaper every hour on the dot. There's just no limit to the amount of diapers that goes thru kids.

I dunno. When my mother started letting me into the washroom on my own she was worried cause I would try to climb out the window. seriously.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 31 07 03:49
Climb out the window? Are you saying your loo is close to the bathroom window?

  I just can't wait till the kids are willing enough to go to the toilet by themselves. It's such a chore cleaning diapers. The amount of diapers we go thru makes me wince each time I think about it.

oh gosh thats the funniest thing I've heard all day.

Never had that problem my bathrooms have never had windows.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jan 31 07 04:04
 When I was younger I used to like to climb up on things to see what was on top or on the other side. My mother has a story she tells to all of her cronies about the time I was asleep in my crib with teh bedroom door locked shut(her side) and the window locked securely from teh inside. I climbed out of the crib/bed, across the floor, up the dresser which had two drawers open, and partway up the back was a diaper bag. I crawled into it and fell asleep.

My mother came in, could find me, the window was locked and the door was too... she went bonkers calling everyone, getting my dad home from work, and was tearing the room apart. Dont remember if she called the cops or not.. She yelled at my dad when he got there, and he started yelling back.. thats when I was woken up and started crying.

After that there was nothing left in my room I could climb or hide in and I was 'securely' in the crib.

      The window thing at home was dealt with pretty quickly, it was when we would go out somewhere and I would go into the public washrooms that she would be worried. Many a person would wonder if she was a pervert when she would look into the boys washroom.[/DIV]

Oh wow, what a story, Russ.  That's very interesting.  I've never heard of little babies wanting to crawl up and out to escape their crib.  They usually climb out and onto the ground, and rarely have I heard of them wanting to go up to the window.  Thanks for sharing.

Morning all. Lovely day today. It isn't going to last. Rain is coming....... possibly over the weekends. Ho hum.

  I made a wonderful nyonya cake yesterday, kuih talam. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Nyonya is part of my heritage, somewhere down the line, it's possible I come from the marriage of two cultures, Malaysian and Chinese.

  Anyways, so proud that I could make this cake. I thought it would be impossible but I found the ingredients and thought I'd try them out.

  Kinda looks like this one here: [A href="http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Market/7773/kuihtalam.html"]http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Market/7773/kuihtalam.html[/A]

  May I come over to have some?  ;)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 01 07 09:28
Hehe. No, no, seriously I found screwpine or pandan. There's a place in Vancouver that sells it. I had to literally hunt all over the net to find this place. Cheongs or something like that. So you can imagine how estactic I was when I finally found them. I shouted 'YES!!!!' in the grocery store as I waved the leaves in the air. My husband just shook his head. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  It's a pretty exotic taste but I grew up with them so I was pretty darn excited to taste this flavor again.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 01 07 09:30
Nope, couldn't find it at T&amp;T but I found these puppies at Cheong Lee Market, along with fresh turmeric roots. Still on the hunt for galangal and candlenuts.... these herbs are a tad harder to find.

Post by: Lise on Feb 01 07 09:34
Yep, that's the one purelife. They got them in the freezer section. I found plenty of herbs and spices in packets that I was looking for. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it was so crowded and parking was a b*tch.

  The people there are super friendly though. I asked them about candlenuts and they spent like 15 mins trying to find it for me even though they didn't know what it looked like.

Milestones has some amazing fries, I totally agree. I like their curry pasta dish before they got rid of it. The last time I had Milestones, it was in Victoria. The dish I ordered was so weird, pasta in different sauces and what-have-you-not. It was horrible. The chef thought he was making a creative dish but in the end, the sauces just clashed against one another. Horrid.

LOL not again Russ!  I believe that was his second time....

This kinda reminds me of this funny video I saw on youtube.  This korean clock lady (owner of a clock store) couldn't properly pronounce the word "clock."  She would pronounce it as "cock"  So, one guy purposely called the store and asked if someone there could fix his clock.  Well, this lady asked how big is your "cock?"  The guy said "10 inches."  And she said "well, that's not a very big cock.." and she also said that she had many many "cocks" in the place and she could fix them... blah blah...you guys get the idea.  It was funny when I heard it and Russ's lil mistake reminded me of this "phonecall episode."

Yeah, it's one of those Chinese steam rolls that you get from Save-On Foods. The one that comes pre-packaged so you just microwave the sucker then add the sauces that come with them. I usually stir fry some other stuff to go with it. Lise Jr. loves them though.

  Ju Jubes? That's all you're having, right now? I finished up the last of my cake this morning. Now I'm going to try and make something else.

Why would you want to celebrate CNY, SD?  I mean, you can but it's usually done with Chinese families since it's such a big thing. Even bigger than Christmas.

  We usually celebrate on the 17th Feb with family, doing a huge feast and then go over to friend's house the following day. I'm planning on making several dishes, including crab, prawns (not the measly small one but the big fat ones), spring rolls and noodles.

Well I guess it would make more sense to do something if they had a big parade I'd definately go to that.  I didn't realize you had to only be asian to celebrate cny.  I mean my family isn't mexican nor irish and we celebrate cinco de mayo and st. patties day.  Just thought it would be a cool thing to take my mom out somewhere since half her class is asian and they talk about asian things.  For example one of her kids parents owns and runs a chinese restuarant.  We could go there.

Just remember the day before CNY is reserve for families, not friends..... you could go out the following day though. Check to make sure the restaurants are open. They should.

  You got $15 in red packets! Aren't you lucky, purelife! I haven't had a red packet since getting married. *sob* Now I have to dish them out left and right.

 SD, Lise and I never told you against celebrating Chinese New Year's.  It's just a wee bit odd when I hear that because I wouldn't go around celebrating Islamic holidays.  

 If you're planning to celebrate it, then, all the merry wishes to you. I think that's cool.  It shows how culturally diverse you are.

   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 02 07 12:01
cool thanks.  I guess my family is a little different then because once a year my mom's jewish kids bring a bunch of hanaukkah food to class and we always have it for dinner.  Then again I get weird looks from people when I say I've shopped at an indi-paki store.  I don't see the big deal. When you open your world up to different cultures you don't become isolationist in your views.  My mom is kinda glad I'm like this, what I do is sort of against the public opinion of where I live.
People around here seem to think that if there is a mexican store for example only mexicans should go in it.  I think thats silly. But then again thats 'middle america' for you.

I'll admit though I get weird looks when I go shopping in these places.  They don't expect to see a white face and they have stared at me before in puzzlement.

  Yeah, I vaguely remember scheschwuaane beef being spicy and full of yum. The problem with most chinese places around here is that they are a little bit vanilla. China has the widest variety of cuisine in the world but in places like this you tend to see the same safe dishes over and over.

Very True Tenkani.. over here its all the similar style of chinese food.. However when I was over there I was amazed at the varieties depending on teh region..

If Chinatown truly reflected mainland China I don't think most of its residents would be very happy.

Just my opinion. I'm not a big fan of authoritarian dictatorships. Of course, there is a difference between government and culture so hopefully they were referring only to the cultural apsects they see lacking from Chinatown.

  I should probably censor this post as well. I'm not trying to start a fight but the Chinese government can eat my balls     &gt;:(

      EDIT: Yeah, good call SD. I just don't get it. Traditionally, the Chinese have been long-term strategic thinkers but in the last few decades the focus seems to be on short-term economic profit and to hell with the consequences. The government is engineering the destruction of the Chinese environment and it makes the Jesus cry     :(
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Feb 02 07 02:35

Ive been to singapore a few times. Its insanely clean and orderly. When buildings reach a certian age the government tears them down and puts up new ones.

  They do have a law against chewing gum and littering. I chewed gum that I had when I went out the first night.. the bartender saw me and immediately told me to get rid of it in case someone saw and reported me.. big fine and possible punishment.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Here's some crazy laws of theirs:
Bungee jumping is illegal.
The sale of gum is prohibited.
Homosexuals are not allowed to live in the country.
Oral sex is illegal unless it is used as a form of foreplay.
Pornography is illegal.
As it is considered pornographic, you may not walk around your home nude.
Failure to flush a public toilet after use may result in very hefty fines.
It is considered an offense to enter the country with cigarettes.
Cigarettes are illegal at all public places.
It is illegal to come within 50 meters of a pedestrian crossing marker on any street.
If you are convicted of littering three times, you will have to clean the streets on Sundays with a bib on saying, "I am a litterer.
It is illegal to pee in an elevator.

Oh and you get the automatic death penalty if you are caught with drugs.

Its the C1 Platform its a universal platform that the Swedes came up with and put on the S40 and then Ford Europe moved the platform to all the Focus models over there.  And Mazda then used the platform for its Mazda 3 and I believe 5.  Its won countless awards.

I can't add  my two piece to sardines any more so here's a song dedicated to sardines:

  Oh that sardine in your hair, I can see it shining there,
                            As I took it from its box, And I twined it in your locks.
                                   Silver sardine in your hair. Like a jewel rich and rare,
                                                    Oh that little silver sardine in your hair

We were going to watch Children of Man tonight but decided to rent.  We ended up watching "The Illusionist"  EXCELLENT MOVIE.  I highly recommend it if you like magic with a twist.  

Oooo..it's kinda lonely being on late at night when no one is online... ;)  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Feb 03 07 01:39
hello!

HA! First person on for saturday morning..

  Children of men I would give an 8 out of 10. Pretty good, something always happening. Realistic conflict scenes.. and a decent example of how it could be in the future.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 03 07 10:18
Greetings. I hear ya on the Miami Vice, Ally. My husband was thoroughly disappointed too. Thought it sucked, the 80s version was way better. He said, "too much violence and sex".

  The "Illusionist" was good? Excellent. I'm thinking of renting that one day. Good to know.

  Hm. I've heard good stuff about Children of Men, though. I'm going to wait for this one to come out on DVD too.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 03 07 11:28
The problem with Miami Vice movie is that its not the tv show remake.  I think it tricked a lot of people.
I agree on Children of Men Russ.  People in the theatre got angry at the ending but I thought about telling them thats how Cuaron ends his movies. lol.  He ends them sudden.  But when it goes to black and flashes the screen title he tells you that it was ........... (purelife hasn't seen it so I won't finish the sentence).

Some poetry are rather nice. I like The Lady of Shallot. That's a good one.

  [FONT size=6]The Lady of Shalott[/FONT]

On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And through the field the road run by
To many-tower'd Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.

Good morning Russ and everyone else who comes on soon.  :)  Good luck with your studies.

Last night, we went to watch Children of Men.  Uhm, I hated the movie.  The choreography was excellent (during that 10 minutes or so of that battle scene where he's trying to get to the child, there was no pause or breaks).  It was just too too violent for me and really drepressing.  The story behind it is interesting, that was about all.  We had no idea that it was going to be this violent.

You'll enjoy the Illusionist, Lise.  It's definitely a movie you'd want to watch a second time.  It's that clever.

 Morning miss PL. Yep lots of action, something always happening (I think I said that, lol). I thought it was supposed to be depressing.. as minus the no kids thing, the rest of the scenario is likely.

 The plot was pretty good, little weird at times though..

Yes Vancouver is prone to Tsunami's and major earthquakes.  If you live on the West coast of North America you are in the so called 'Ring of Fire'.  Your earthquakes are caused by Vancouver Island.  It can't make up its mind it moves.

Worst case scenario.  Vancouver Island moves a couple inches in a few seconds instead over a few years, causing a huge earth quake in the Straits and creating a Tsunami that hits Vancouver.

Then there's volcanos but thats mainly Seattle's problem.

I probably have a bad attitude about this whole thing but I really have stopped caring and worrying about major disasters.  If it happens, it happens.  You can't fight mother nature.

Nope you can't stop these things but you've got to be prepared.  As long as the 'big one' doesn't happen while your around the Richmond area you should be fine.  They did a study and the soil in Richmond could liquify if a powerful earthquake were to hit Vancouver.

Knowing me when the earthquake happens I'll get all excited and venture out and take pictures and help people even though it would be dangerous.

[p align="center"]Where Earthquakes Happen[/p] There is an average of one earthquake in southwest B.C. every day. Nearly all are too small to be felt, but a damaging earthquake occurs somewhere in the region about once every 20 years. The largest earthquake in this century was a magnitude 7.3 event in 1946, centred beneath central Vancouver Island. Were this earthquake to occur today under Vancouver, damage would be in the billions of dollars. Recently, scientists have recognized a history of infrequent, but great (magnitude 8 to 9) earthquakes on the fault separating the subducting Juan de Fuca and North America plates. The last great earthquake in 1700 AD affected the entire coast from northern California to southern B.C.
[/p]
[p align="center"]Quake Damage[/p] The effect of an earthquake includes ground shaking, landslides, and liquefaction (change of sediment from a solid to a quicksand-like liquid state). Earthquakes are most destructive when they are centered near cities, but the damage can differ considerably from site to site because of local geological conditions. For example, shaking on loose sediment is likely to be greater than shaking on bedrock. Some earthquakes trigger destructive sea waves (tsunamis) that can surge hundreds of metres inland, have heights of 10 m or more, and cause loss of life and severe property damage. In southwest B.C., the tsunami threat is greatest on the outer coast of Vancouver Island. [/p]Earthquakes cannot be prevented. However, the damage they cause can be reduced through geological and geophysical studies that contribute to proper design of buildings and other structures, emergency planning, and public education. Geological mapping can identify areas of possible severe ground shaking, liquefaction, or landslides.

Hey PC! Im hoping I passed...

Its 50/50 talked to a few friends and Im hopeful to confident I passed but IT'll be up to the examiner whether or not I pass...

  Ill find out in two weeks...

  So myself, RSS, and a few others are inebriatedted. How are you?

Do you get grossed out if you found someone's strand of hair in your food?  

  I just had my lunch and noticed this thin strand of hair and I know that it wasn't mine.  I'm not too grossed out.  It was probably a mistake.  But, next time when I buy my lunch from them, I will politely mention that someone needs to be extra careful when preparing food.  The food was enjoyable (my first time with this newfound place) so, I will go back because they were a pleasant couple.

I told him Ive had this thing for two years and never used this feature before, he couldnt believe me.. You spent HOW MUCH on this item, and you only used a few of its features?

I think a predator or whatever it is sounds cool so I vote for that.. not that Im contributing anyways.

  Im baking those cabbage rolls from m&amp;M meats.. they are tha bomb so Im looking forward to them.. I also went on a bit of a splurge so the house is packed with healthy foods again like cream filled puffs, potato chips and coke cola.

P.S. yeah the Predator drone is very cool.
Yet again I'm faced with my two natures, one the pacifist who wants the world to hold hands and sing folk songs and the other guy who wants to see shit blow up and body parts fly.

I guess that's what video games are for Wh00t!!!

Jordan is a high fantasy author right?
I think I read something of his a long time ago.
I don't remember the plot, but I remember it being very thick!
Eye of the world?
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 07 07 11:20
Lunch today will be at a Japanese restaurant. My husband is taking the day off because we have to go see a specialist. It'll be awesome.

  The Great Hunt is about three guys who's become entangled in a "Pattern" of the Wheel which means their fates are directed to finding greatness or otherwise. The second book tells the story of Rand who has to find the legendary Horn of Valere so he can use it to call upon the Heroes of the past. It's truly wonderful. I highy recommend Robert Jordon's series.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 07 07 11:21
Hey tenkani-san,

  Yep. Eye of the World was his first book. The second was more exciting.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Feb 07 07 12:24
It's a system cleanse that takes 12 days.  You can buy the kit from Save On Foods or a health food store (about $30).  Then, you follow the eating plan (whole foods, less meats, no sugar, etc.), take the herbs in the kit and drink lots of water.  Oh, and stay close to the bathroom!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 07 07 12:28
Stay close to the bathroom?  Ok, that knocks this detox experiment out of the question.  Too bad I work.  *sigh*

Good evening everyone.  What's for dinner?
I have chicken curry baking in the oven.  I don't know if I'll have that for dinner because I'm already quite full.  *pops another sesame peanut crunch in my mouth*  

Did I tell you guys that I LOVE T&amp;T?!  They have these rice wraps that they make right in front of your eyes for $2.50.  Have you had these yet, Lise?  OMG, tasty!  And realllly filling for the bang of buck you pay.  I liked the idea of chosing the 4 toppings and had the choice of brown or white sticky rice.  YUMMY.

Oh, speaking of seaweed, I also picked up seaweed snack thingees.

Heya purelife,

  Dinner tonight was steamed tofu in oyster sauce and stir fry brocolli. I'm amazed I managed to pull everything together in 1/2 hour since I slept for a bit.

  I know what you mean about the rice wrap thing. I go there all the time when it's not too busy. I usually go for the marinated eggs and a couple of bean sprouts. Get the mixed rice version, half white and red. Really good.      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Mixed rice?  What a marvelous idea, Lise!  I will try that next time I'm there!  I love saving money on food.  Why can't markets like SaveOnFoods/Safeway/Superstore have cheap meat/groceries/food like T&amp;T!?

I know. T &amp; T is really cheap when it comes to certain food, it's even cheaper at the Crystal Mall. I usually buy my chicken pieces at T &amp; T because they're far cheaper there.

  Plans today? Not much. Going to tackle the crock pot. There's a tray of beef ribs in the fridge that I want to try out. Hopefully it'll work out since I'm not too convinced. Ah well. Pizza is always a call away in case of emergency.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Hmmmm....good idea Lise (good morning)

  I have some beef ribs in the freezer myself.  Sounds like it might be a plan.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 08 07 09:50
I'm kinda hesitant about it because I recall you guys telling me that it was better to do it with pork ribs but since I can't have any pork, I thought I'd give the beef a go. *finger crossed*

  Anyways, here's the recipe I'm thinking of trying out. Looks easy enough.

   [UL] [LI]3 pounds beef short ribs   [LI]1 cup water   [LI]1/2 cup barbecue sauce   [LI]1/4 cup cooking wine   [LI]1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce   [LI]salt and pepper to taste [/LI][/UL] [H4]PREPARATION:[/H4] Place ribs in slow cooker or Crock-Pot. Pour in remaining ingredients and cook for 8 to 10 hours.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 08 07 09:58
WOW....8 to 10 hours?  That seems like a little overkill to me.

The one thing (the most important thing) that recipe doesn't say, is to brown the meat first.  That's what gives it flavour, and lessens the 'slimy' texture that crock pots seem to give to meat.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 08 07 10:00
 Morning purelife.

  Well, I know it's a bit of an overkill (8 hours) but that's the only recipe I know that has all the ingredients I have at hand.

  I should brown the meat, first, eh? That's a good tip. I'll do what you say. Do I sprinkle flour all over the meat first? [/DIV]

Hey PC.  Since I've got you online, could you tell me how the layer of shepard's pie go again?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 08 07 10:06
I do Lise.  I put a couple tablespoons of flour in a plastic bag.....add a bit of seasoning (salt, pepper, parsley....whatever).  I put the meat in the bag, puff a bit of air in the bag to make a 'balloon', then shake it to coat.

  After I've browned the meat I move it to the crock pot, then I put the remaining ingredients into the pan......and work in all the bits that have browned to the pan......then I pour the lot into the crock pot.  5 to 6 hours seems plenty to me, but ?  I guess you could check it after 5 hours, as see how it is.

Do you also do the same with the meat when making beef stew, PC?  Do you bake your stew or put it in a pressure cooker?  I usually make beef stew without browning the beef.  I just add all my ingredients in and then leave it to cook.

  I think that I'm doing something wrong with my method of making beef stew.  It still tastes great though but I'm always looking for another way.

Yes, I always brown meat dredged in flour first, if it's going to used in a recipe where the meat will be in contact with wet ingredients.  It seals it, it creates flavour, and it preserves the texture.  It also gives the gravy or sauce that it creates a richer colour and taste.

I had a can of coconut mulk (very cheap from T&amp;T, like 70 cents) and I mixed in curry powder and some tumeric.  I then added onions in the baking/roasting pan, then my chicken drumsticks, then, carrots and potatoes.  Then, I poured my curry mixture.  You can add whatever spice you want to your mixture.  I only had curry and tumeric at home.  I wish that I had bay leaves and paprika.  Then, I bake at around 350 for about an hour and a half.  You can also serve over rice.  The mixture thickens out from the potatoes.

Hey James H.  How was your lunch?  Just curious, are you from Vancouver or the States?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Feb 08 07 01:09
 Heya P.C.
A chicken breast sandwhich and a pepsi one.
The person working the cafeteria sammie shop didn't understand "chicken breast sandwhich" even when repeated twice, so I had to point to it on the menu. That's the price we pay for living in this area. Accents don't really bother me (actually they can be pretty cool), but when an employee's English is so poor that they can't even pronounce or understand the items on their own menu there is a problem.

On the menu it says "chicken breast sandwhich. TRY IT HOT!". So a while back I said, I'd like the sandwhich hot. Que? Can you heat up the sandwhich? Um....hmmmm? Can you please heat the sandwhich meat up? Oh...I no understand.

After a while this shit wears on you. I can't blame the immigrants because I would do exactly the same thing in their shoes. So who do I blame? The owners who just care about their profit margin so they hire people who don't speak a word of English? I don't know, I just want a sandwhich without having to play a guessing game every time and hope I get what I ordered.

/rant

P.S. the sandwich is delicious.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 08 07 01:15
Pointing to the menu was a good call.  I think I may have done it differently.

  I hear ya tenkani.  No judgement intended, but I understand the frustration behind this.  Yes....the owners share some responsibility.  They're kinda keeping them trapped.....no need to learn the language if they can keep getting by without it.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 08 07 01:18
The owners are looking to save money so that is why they hire immigrants.  It's terrible that the owners take advantage of this just to penny pinch.

  There are a couple of towns in my area where virtually NO ONE speaks any English.
And it's not that they are bi-lingual but choose to converse in Spanish, they simply don't speak English at all. And as you alluded to, they are in a position where they don't really need to learn English to survive. These towns become enclaves where they isolate themselves from the outside world.
 
EDIT: to purelife, yup. And I don't have the slightest problem with hiring immigrants as long as they can do the job they're hired for, but customer service requires the ability to communicate, hay??

Speaking of English and other languages, yesterday, my coworker pointed out to me that our coworker sitting across was conversing in Cantonese with another fellow co-worker.  These two were talking quietly in Cantonese.  My coworker, who is white, found that "not right."  I agreed with her because you just don't know if they're talking about you.  I understand Cantonese and feel that this isn't right in a English speaking work environment.  They could've done it in the lunch room or the hallways where it's more discreet.

Yeah, there are folks in my area who believe everyone in California should have to learn Spanish, because it's only fair right?? I don't agree.Despite the historical context surrounding the californian land-grab, this state is now part of an English-speaking country. If you intend to live here then it's not unreasonable to ask that you learn the official language ASAP.

   If I were to live in another country, I wouldn't want to be locked away into one little tiny corner of it, just because I couldn't communicate with the rest.  I can't imagine anything that would make me feel more isolated and alone. I've always believed that speaking the language of the country of your choice should be a requirement before one is granted the privelege of living there. Wouldn't it open up their/our world to do so?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 08 07 01:30
I would learn the language as well if it was official here.  If I was living in Spain, I'd learn to speak Spanish.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Feb 08 07 01:31
 Yeah, PL, I have mixed feelings about that one.
If someone is bi-lingual is it Ok for them to talk in their native tongue in public (or work) with friends?
My wife was in that kind of situation. She worked at an electronics firm a long time ago in assembly and she was the only non-filipino in her section. She said it was soul crushing to sit around all day and never hear a word of English spoken unless her manager happened to drop in every couple of days.

I'm sure paranoia is a natural response to that kind of thing.

I have a minor tantrum every time I pick up a product and have to turn it over and back trying to find the English.  And because these teeny tiny labels must contain everything in both languages, you need a honking huge magnifying glass to read the teen tiny print.  (oh jeebus.....I'm getting agitated just thinking about it) [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]

 SD, I said I have no problem with bi-lingualism. My beef is with people who speak only one language and it happens to not be the official language of the nation they are supposedly eager to become a part of. The people who don't bother. The people who have lived here for a decade and still can't express simple concepts through English not because they are stupid, but because they don't see it as all that important.

Adding a language to your skill-base because it will help you to prosper in a new country has nothing to do with losing your own culture. Some people argue that new immigrants should toss their native culture in the garbage bin to speed their assimilation. I don't agree with that. But you don't lose your own culture because you learn to speak a 2nd language. P.C. is right, I think our immigration standards are a little lax here as well, but then of course we are flooded with illegal immigrants here so the standards are moot.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 08 07 02:27
Well my grandma didn't learn english until the 1960's and she was born here.  Heck my grandpa knew english before my grandma.  Uncle had to take ESL classes in school.

So maybe the new immigrants are not comfortable speaking english.  I know I'm not comfortable speaking spanish or french or any other language.

So if I was in their situation I'd bring along somebody who speaks english.  But if its been 10 years or so then you've got to speak it.  Don't pull a Sammy Sosa infront of Congress.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 08 07 02:40
SD, would you not feel it necessary for yourself, if you decided to live in France....to learn to speak French?  Aside from being annoying to others, I would feel so detached from my new world.  Taking along someone to get me by isn't the answer.  And the responsibilty to learn the language should fall on my shoulders.....not the taxpayers in France.

  You prepare yourself in so many ways to adjust to a different climate perhaps....different dress, different available food......why wouldn't one think it's as important to prepare yourself to be able to communicate.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Feb 08 07 02:40
 You know, honestly, if an immigrant decides to come here and is independantly wealthy and decides to live locked up in their apartment for the rest of their life, well that's sad but I guess it's their choice.

If, on the other hand, they are going to join the workforce, then I expect them to learn English ASAP even if they feel uncomfortable with it. Like people have already said, if I moved to Spain I would feel obligated to speak Spanish and would in no way cop an attitude and try to pressure the Spanish to learn English for my benefit. Communication is VITAL for creating communities, and if you truly want to only hang out with folks from your native country, speak your native language, read newspapers from back home and whatnot then please leave your spot for someone who feels differently.

We can only smash the distrust of the other through communication and the mixing of cultures (and blood). Sticking to your own only leads to fear and resentment.

 Did anyone understand what I said?

I said immigrants should earn english.  Speak the mother tongue at home or around the family when out in public.

When I said speaking your language at work I was thinking in more of the fast food restuarant business.  If you speak broken english and you are the cook and everyone else speaks your language as well you'd get things done faster in spanish.

I mean go to any hotel room.  There's always two hispanic girls doing the hotel work.  They speak english when they are talking to the customers in the hotel rooms but with each other its spanish.

 Well, talking about how your grandmother didn't learn English until the 60's and how immigrants should bring English speakers with them and how they are uncomfortable speaking English and whatnot all give the impression that you are minimizing the importance of learning English quickly (or before you immigrate). You have never come right out with it, but the tone of most of your posts seems to point in that direction. If that wasn't your intent then I accept that.

  Well, now this is an area that I'm less comfortable with, but I'll go there anyway.  Chances are these gals will be doomed to a lifetime of hotel work (not that there's anything wrong with that)  because they aren't developing the ability to do something more because of their comfort zone of speaking their own language.   They're setting up some pretty tight barriers for themselves by not learning the language.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Feb 08 07 03:00
 I've tried talking to a couple of hispanic maids in my area.
Like the girl in the cafeteria, they did NOT speak any English.
Not even enough to communicate very simple concepts, which is the problem.
Around here, you may end up having to hunt down the manager of an establishment to get any sort of basic question answered because sometimes the ENTIRE STAFF is made up of immigrants with no English skills whatsoever. The owners hire the cheapest labor they can find, and that is usually undocumented aliens. Again, I can't blame the illegals because I'd do the same thing in their place, but the system is broken.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 08 07 03:01
 Well since you brought up my grandmother.  Yes she didn't really start speaking english in public until the 1960's she spoke broken english in the 1950's and really didn't start speaking good english until the 70's.

Am I minimizing English? No.  What I said was it is very hard for new immigrants to start speaking English right away.  Its imposing. Bringing somebody else along who speaks English clearer is what I was saying.

Its like moving to rural Quebec would you be comfortable speaking french immeadiately? Probably not.  Thats what I was saying not that they should wait to speak English.  My grandma learned english as fast as she could coming back from Europe.  She was not comfortable speaking English in public on her own until my dad was born.
You've got to be comfortable in a language before you can speak it on your own without somebody translating your own broken english or spanish or french or whatever you speak.  Make an attempt thats what I'm saying.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I disagree.  You're missing what I was saying.  They speak perfect english they just choose to speak spanish to each other only.

Go to a spanish restuarant the waiters and waitress's speak spanish to each other but also speak speak perfect english.

  Beef ribs turned out absolutely gorgeous. Hubby liked it. I liked the first few bites before I turned off the beef completely. A tad too fatty for me. Maybe I should have scraped off some of the fat.

  Other than that it was wonderful. The meat was so tender it literally fell off the bone. Big thank you to PC again for that tip.

I had a few beer after getting home tonight from the boatshow.. My brother ended up buying some new waterski's and a wicked wakeboard, my god those things are expensive! Also bought a new floating handhelf VHF radio for the boat as we dont have a mounted unit.

There was some NICE boats there, and one nice big one in particular there that caught my eye.. but I checked my wallet and I didnt have the 610,000 plus change to buy it in my wallet so I passed.

    Thanks PC! I always love reading stuff like that. I knew some about it, was curious if anyone else would recognize the name.

    Good for you lil me.. not many parents seem to get involved anymore.. 'bless' for trying!

Good morning (not really).
I'm having a Pepsi One and trying to wake up because my manager called a meeting at 9:30 with 20 minutes notice about a topic that really is not in the least bit urgent. I think calling short-notice meetings makes him feel more important.

Gentlemen, come to the war room immediately. We have to discuss...brochures!     :O

Morning Russ, saw a segment on CNN yesterday before the 'death of a famous person' happened and they did a story on rebels in the Niger Delta in Nigeria and they had 25 or so sailors that they were holding for ransom from the Philipines.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Hi.... sorry. Had to step away for a bit.

  No choice in such matter. I was pregnant then I had to breast feed which means no alcohol whatsoever. Then I got too busy to even sit down and have a glass of wine. Next thing I know I'm pregnant again and then the whole cycle starts.

  It's no biggie though. It's amazing what your body can do when you put your mind to it.

   Yeah, kidnappings and such are common in Nigeria. Im in awe that the rebels went to Philipino's, they usually dont as they are poor from a poor country compared to the westerners. That why they go for us, they dont usually kill us either.. just doesnt make sence to kill thier moneymakers.

Good for you, SD. Biking is fun.

Same with small town sawmill workers.
Do you know where Aberdeen Washington is? That is Kurt Cobain's hometown. He used to wear a dress and go into the local roughneck/redneck watering holes and order drinks. Just to get a rise out of the caveman locals...I am sure he got the shit beat out of him from time to time.

The red necks voted for Bush     ;)
And country music, some of it is Ok but the hyper-patriotic, reactionary tone that runs through a lot of it here in the states turns a lot of folks off, myself included. In Canada it's probably a different story, but down here country music is often associated with the south, racism, and the "my country right or wrong" attitude that leads to authoritarian shitbirds ending up in power and attempting to re-shape the world in their own image.

Its like a wine cooler that you make yourself with red wine, fruit chunks, and contreau.. then you let it sit to soak into the fruit and when you pour it into a cup you fill it halfway they add sprite or 7 up.

  420              

the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation.
So there ya go, someone's parents out there invented the term 4/20.

And remember this:
There are NOT 420 chemicals in Weed. It's about 315, the num. goes up or down depending on what you're smoking.

4/20 is NOT police code or Maryjane.
And that whole shit about Holland and 4/20 over there being "tea time" for smokers isn't true either.

= = =

So sayeth the URBANDIC, so it must be true    ;)

Pandan paste. Or screwpine herb. It's a strong green color herb. Has a most unusual taste that's typical Malaysian. Since I've opened a bottle, I need to use it within a couple of months so I'm frantically looking around to see what I can accomplish.

Hi Russ......Thought I'd carry this over to here.  I sort of explained it in the Best Deals thread.

 'I have spent the last week chipping off three layers of flooring in my kitchen.  A layer of linoleum, and two layers of lino tile.'  I guess the chems in the mastick for the lino tile (it was that really old fashioned stuff.  Almost like an industrial tile) leeched into the concrete giving it a 'natural' stone look.

 There are a couple patches where it is too 'unblemished' (for lack of a better word,. If you drag a popsicle stick across the bristles of an old toothbrush, it gives a nice splatter.... so I used an old toothbrush dipped in some bleach .....and then again in some old stain.

   I'm going to use some concrete porch paint for the 'grout lines'.  Then cover the whole thing with a couple coats of varathane.

    Thanks PC.. I couldnt remember... When you mentioned what you did it made me think about it. Ill see how it lookes when I remove the carpet and lino.. but I think I might end up putting tiles in the kitchen and washroom area. the rest Im going to put in laminate flooring as its supposed to be harder than regular hardwood.

Still tossing ideas around in my little hamsterwheel.

Thanks for the help! Sounds interesting the way you have done it.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 11 07 06:55
No asbestos.  The tile that was on the bottom layer, is that old 'composition' tile.  It's applied with a mastic that's like gum.  25 + year old gum !  The tiles have become very brittle....which is a good thing, but it's sure not coming off easy.

  When Miss P.C. gets a project in her mind, Mr. P.C. stands back and gives me all the space I need.  He used to just shake his head when I'd come up with my bird brained ideas, but he's come to have a much appreciated respect for the results.  He's also learned that I'm pretty determined (pig headed) when I get these notions and he leaves me be.  He's relatively new to the 'do it yourself' concept.  When I met him, he was the 'pay someone to do it' guy.  [FONT size=4]Everything[/FONT].  He had someone cut his lawn, wash his car.....whatever.  I'm the opposite.  I will only pay someone for something I absolutely can't do myself.  I've learned a lot because of it.  He knows I enjoy it.  (and if I asked him, he would)

  A free chocolate you say.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif[/img]

  Mr. P.C. installed this new 'Tab' thing on the tool bar.  It's kind of cool.....but it's taking a little adjustment.  I can now open my 'group' of things (DS...smilies page....etc) in one click.  They are on a tab format above, just like the tabs in a notebook.  I like it.

Glad to hear you're on the mend, Russ. Must be all them goat cheese.

 Well, at least you have some idea of what to do at home. You see something and you can go and fix it. I see something,  yell for my hubby to come and see the damage and he goes, "so, what do you wanna do about it?" My hubby's like your Mr. PC, just hire someone and pay him or her to do it.

 I like the do-it-yourself method. I can't understand why one has to pay someone to fix a relatively simple thing.

 There's a new tool bar? I'm scared of inserting anything new because it freaks out the old program(s).

So sorry to hear about your ankle Russ.  That's miserable !!!!  Try to keep it up.  (at least that's what Mr P.C. says to me all the time....lol) (of course I never listen)

  Not such a stupid question at all, Russ.  No, I never wear gloves.  In the garden, chopping wood....whatever.  They bug me.  They say you can tell a womans age by her hands.  I say balderdash.  When I was 30, I looked 20 but my hands looked 80.   [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]

Good Morning Everyone!

Wow P.C. you must have like the coolest house ever, with all those projects I'm jealous.  When it comes to things I tend to try to fix them on my own.  When we moved to the new upscale nieghbourhood, our nieghbour asked if we wanted to hire their maid.  We were dumbfounded.  A maid? You've got to be kidding.  Obviously we said no.  We stand out a lot in the new place.  Middle class family in a white collar nieghbourhood lol.

Well I'm determined to do a lot of work today so I'm going to limit myself to DS as much as possible.

Do you guys get those.... different parts of the cow that comes with your pho? I always get the meat slices. I'm not too big on cow intestines or knuckles or whatever.

  I watched a program on how to make pho and the lady says her secret ingredient is.... get this.... dried worms. Eeeeoow.

  Check out video:

    Tripe and tendon..... yep. I always take them out of my bowl of pho. I tried... I really try to eat them but my throat refused to swallow.

  Speaking of cholesteral, anyone get theirs checked recently? Mine was perfect but that's not saying I'm off the hook since there's a history of high cholesterol that runs in my family.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Feb 12 07 04:53
You're too smart for me.

I looked it up and you're right.

Well, technically there can be a link between high blood pressure and unhealthy levels of blood cholesterol but it looks like high blood pressure can increase the danger posed by cholesterol, but you can have one without the other. I think that's the relationship anyway.

The article I found says unhealthy levels of bad cholesterol won't necessarily have any symptoms, which is why we should get tested. Thank you for raising my awareness!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 12 07 04:55
Yeah. I kinda knew about that because I had to get both tests done separately before. For my pregnancy and what-have-you-not.

  We should all get our cholesterol check every once in a while. It's quite serious if you don't get it check as heart attacks happens frequently due to bad cholesterol. Happens more in men.

  Anyways, off to make dinner.

Hey Tenkani and Lise!

  I actually have a headache now from crying although I am also 3 hours late on my morning coffee so it could be a withdrawal headache.  We just had a big blow that started over nothing and we ended up dragging up every little thing from the past 15 years.  I hate to say this, but it's a tendency women have.  "Remember 7 years and 5 months ago at 4:32 pm when you said this...blah blah"    

  Hrumpf!  Everything is much better now though.  I'm now getting a coffee and a couple of tylenol.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Feb 13 07 11:04
That's a tendency women have?? I handn't noticed!!    ;)

  Seriously though, maybe the occasional blowout is good for us. It brings things out in the light of day where they can (hopefully) dry up and blow away. It's amazing how many things we think we're "over" but aren't. It's also amazing how cleansing a good cry can be. I hope you guys can dredge some positives out of this painful experience!

My dad's about the same, Ally. It's not confined to women alone. He'd dredge up stuff that happened 10 years ago and then have an arguement about it. It doesn't take much to set it off. I thought we had solve the issue but I guess not. At any rate, tenkani's right. It's useless to carry about a grudge. Life's too short.

Hey purelife. I'm glad you had your extractions out. Hang in there, it can only get better. Take the painkilers as needed and don't rinse your mouth rigiously with water or salt for a couple of hours.

  I had to take soup for the first two days. No biggie. The disgusting part is after the holes have healed and then you get food stuck in them.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 13 07 03:14
How did you clean the holes?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 13 07 03:16
I stole a syringe from work, it had a curved tip so I could suck water in and then squirt it out into the holes. It work quite nicely but if you don't have one, not to worry, just rinse gently for a few minutes. Should work.

  How are you feeling now? Groggy?

 I had my wisdom teeth taken out a couple years ago while my mom and sis went to Oregon to visit family and my dad misread directions given to him by the doctor and all I ate for 2 weeks was mash potatoes, apple sauce and pudding.  Needless to say I lost a lot of weight. lol

Post by: Lise on Feb 13 07 03:27
Did they give you cold compression? I usually have two ice packs ready in the fridge. Just take one out, wrap in towel and press against face. Do it for a couple of hours. The swelling should go down soon. Oh and Advil helps too.... but if you're taking Tylenol 3, check with dentist before taking Advil.

 Are the holes permanant Lise?  What does the stitching do?  Seals the hole?  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 13 07 03:30
the stitches are there to heal your holes. Your mouth has to heal..  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 13 07 03:31
Nope. Holes are not permanent. After awhile, they'll smooth over and you won't even feel anything. In some people there might be a sligh depression but that's about it.

  The stiching is to close up the hole and help the healing process faster. Depending on what stiching he used, it should either dissolve with time or you need to go back to get them remove. Either way, they're there to close up the wound so you won't get any  major bleeding.      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Hope you feel better soon, Purelife!
 
 When I had my wisdom teeth removed 3 yrs ago, I was totally groggy, thirsty and drooling.  My sis picked me up from the dentist and I somehow managed to tell her that I was thirsty for a soy chai (?).  She wanted to shop at the Gourmet Warehouse on the way home, and I decided to go inside with her (bad idea).  Well, I staggered around and started looking at stuff and I had a question I wanted to ask the staff (while drooling), so I made my sis ask for me.  After that, she drove me home and I went to bed.  She made me some Campbell's cream of mushroom, and I remember thinking that I hadn't before realized that mushroom soup has so many "bits" in it.

Yup! That's why you may have the same federal anti-discrimination laws across the country, but in some states they are subverted and resented, in others they fit with the common concensus. It's really hard to legislate morality. But morality does change, slowly and unevenly.

Honestly, if I was a gay man I'd probably rather be working for the federal government (not the military) than the private sector. If someone were to discriminate against me they'd pretty much be toast because of all the regs.

Ah, well for me my parents let me watch that stuff. I don't think it did too much damage.  I did learn at a very young age that there is more out there in the world then where I live so I guess I can take some good out of seeing some of the things I saw.

But then again I have watched the news with my dad everyday since I was about 2.

Well, I can't really explain to Lise Jr. why some stuff on TV is happening... you know, like how do you explain war and famine and murder to a 2 year old? It's so hard. I'm not ready to go in that direction yet. Let her be a kid for awhile. There's ample time to grow up.

 well I mean when the Berlin Wall fell I watched that live and then dad explained everything to me and that was when I was 3 and a half.

When the Soviet Coup happened and helicopters were shooting missiles at their own parliament building I thought that was weird/cool/I'm watching something here that won't happen again sorta feeling.

I remember WACO, first wtc bombings and such.

I felt helpless about Bosnia and I was only 10.  I remember watching Nightline about it a lot.

I remember watching the news flash when they found the titanic. Dont know how old I was but I was older than two thats for sure. when did they find the old bucket of bolts anyhow?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 14 07 02:49
Well, as much as there's advantages to watching the news when you're younger, I still prefer to keep my kids innocent for now. I don't want to muddle their minds for now. I mean, I can still control what they watch and there's something refreshing about them laughing and having fun with Barney and Elmo.

  For now, anyways.

Yeah the first R movie I saw in theatres was when I turned 17 lol.

When I was in 4th grade I think I remember watching some segul movie on a train and he was snapping necks with his hands and that creeped me out.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 14 07 02:54
What R-rated movie? At 17 years old? I thought you had to be 18 years or older? Did you remember what you watched?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 14 07 02:57
nope to get in a R by yourself you have to be 17 although in some conservative states you can't buy multiple R rated tickets until you're 21.

I saw T3
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

T3 was R-rated..... and that's your first R-rated movie?

Good evening everyone.  I had a huge craving for chocolate after watching a few episodes on the cooking channel.  GAWD, I wish that I had a car parked outside so that I could buy some chocolate.  Maybe I should get my b/f to temporarily hijack a car for me. ;)  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 14 07 08:11
Hey purelife! I know what you mean. The Food Network has everything about chocolate chocolate and more chocolate. It's insane!! Must be a marketing ploy this Valentine's Day.

  I was at SaveOn Foods today. I saw quite a number of harried looking man buying flowers. So funny and sad at the same time.

 Flowers are sweet to receive as long as the guy buys it more than once a year.  V-day is a nice excuse to spend more time and to remind each other of how much you love one another.

VD is nothing more than a promotional gimmick. Sorry but I don't understand it. Every day should be a celebration of love, not just the one day.

  Thanks, purelife. After spending a lusty night with TB, I decided to give him not only my body but soul. I hope I won't dissappoint him. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  How's dinner? I made my man slices of beef with sliced mushrooms and onions in a Calabrese bun plus salad. Threw in some ice cream with jello because it's a "special" day.

Uhm, nothing for dinner.  I fried some sausages up and ate those.  Then, had a yoghurt stick tubee thingee...frozen.  Now I see why kids love this stuff.  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 14 07 08:27
Teh yogurt stick? I always wondered about those.....

  Have you tried these Lipton To Go Ice Tea packets? The one you must mix in a water bottle? It's not too bad especially if you're not into drinking water all the time.

  (http://i15.tinypic.com/3yobfux.jpg)

  I like the ones with the green tea infused lemon.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Never tried those.  Didn't know that those existed.  Are those the powdered stuff where you mix it in the water?  Ice tea, you say, heh?  I might try it, hopefully it's low in sodium and salt.  My guy loves that stuff.

Ive never heard of those either.

  Where have you found em?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 14 07 08:33
I found them at SaveOn Foods Metrotown, juice aisle. They have zero calories because they're made from Splenda. Quite safe to drink. I keep several packets with me in my handbag in case I want something other than water.

  And yes, you just mix them with water. Real easy.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Anyone have plans? We are off to Lake Louise, once again. The snow is still very amazing.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 15 07 08:42
nope I'm on a mission to get this book done.
Thought about going to Mardi Gras (its huge down here second to New Orleans last year it was really nuts since nobody went to New Orleans) but there is 7 inches of snow on the ground with more to come on Saturday.

oh well I over slept which sucks.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 15 07 09:49
Morning!

  Wow. You're so lucky to be heading down to Lake Louise again, CK. I wish I was near that area. You should take a photo and show us what it's like there now. *jealous*

  No plans today except maybe cleaning up the house. With CNY around the corner, I gotta get the place presentable. At least.... a hint of presentable. Hard to do with toys constantly leaving their boxes and escaping to every corner of the house.

  BTW, in lieu of CNY, do not brush the house with a broom in case you sweep out your good luck. That's the belief for the moment.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I'll be sure not to do that Lise because I need a lot of luck this year.

Good morning everyone.  Phew, finally kinda got caught up with my work emails.  Time for a DS puff.  Ahhh....:)

  For lunch, I'm going to grab some roasted chicken and potatoes somewhere.  My mouth is still a wee bit swollen.  But all in all, I'm doing ok.  Just taking it easy.

  My mom gave me another superstition about CNY.  She said "Thank goodness you're not getting your teeth extracted next week because that's so bad luck and you won't be off to a good start."  I shake my head... but whatever, I had it done before anyways.  Hm, I wonder if this now means that I'll have an excellent year knowing that I just had some teeth removed.  LOL, never was a believer of chinese superstition.  

  I'm still deciding if I want to head over to my mom's with my b/f for dinner.

Hi hi! Sorry, had to step away for a bit.

  Really? Getting your teeth extracted this year is bad luck? Never knew that. Funny all these supertition that comes with one's culture. You're more aware of them when you live in Asia though.

  Yay! Finally hung up our CNY decorations. I had to brush away the dust from them but they look fantastic. Lise Jr. had a ball hanging them up.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 15 07 11:58
Awww..how sweet.  

  My mom told me not to get teeth extracted during that week of CNY.  Before or after, we're good to go.  

  I hung up the chinese "fortune" sign on our door early this year.  I had cut it off from the chinese calendar my mom gave me.  Pretty.  :)

Have you noticed how quickly avacados turn brown when you slice them open and try to save some for later?
Someone told me if you sprinkle some lemon juice on them they will keep longer.
But that might be a fairy tale.

Hmmm. Mousaka. Delicious!!!! I love that.

  Do you like Greek salad, purelife? I always ask them to remove the feta cheese from mine. Can't stand that though I like it in spinnikas. (sp?)

I didn't have the terriyaki beef after all.

  My teeth are a bit sore.  I'm taking it easy.  Nothing physical (meaning no sex as well) :P

  Hmm, I hope that I can manage salsa lessons tomorrow at work.  I really want to do that.

Waah! I need a massage.........

  My old neighbor next door has a nasty habit of opening his bahtroom window. My kitchen window overlooks his. In the summer he opens the window so when he steps out of the shower and you happen to be washing dishes, you get a nice view of.... yeah, you get the idea. Half the time I just squirmed uncomfortably then run out the kitchen for a good five minutes.

  I was just watching Discovery Channel and how they opened the tomb of who they believe was one of King Tut's relatives, his mother Kiya most likely. They didn't find a mummy but they found a treasure trove of relics. So exciting!!! Can't wait to see what they make of their finds in a couple of months. I believe I got so excited..........

 It doesn't have blinds. Everytime we put up blinds it falls down into the shower. Its a bizarre design. Even odder around my parents hot tub in the bathroom there are windows looking out 3 of them they make the corner of the room! how odd.

Take some tums to settle your stomache. Even if you are feeling a bit topsy turvy this usually helps settle mine so I can get down to business... food.

  I would suggest some nice New England clam chowder.. you know you want some.

  CNY celebrations? Not on Saturday, I'll be busy cooking and cleaning. I just finish cleaning one half of the house, gonna do another today. Tomorrow will be hectic but I'm loving it.

  Sunday is my friend's b'day... so we're all going out to celebrate.

  Which means..... not time for Ghost Rider. Waaaah!!! Oh well. Maybe next weekend. *fingers crossed*

Morning tenkani.

  I've seen Pay It Forward.  Helen Hunt and Kevin Spacey and that little boy from Sixth Sense star in this movie.  MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.  It's a definitely tear jerker.  It's about a boy who starts the "Pay It Forward" concept.  It's extremely extremely sad but extremely well done.

  Tuna sandwich sounds tasty, don't.  I'm thinking of chicken or maybe meatleaf today.  I found another favorite place to buy my lunches at this mom and pop owned place in the food court.  They are always so happy and so friendly.  They're sooo super sweet.  And they prepare excellent home-made dishes for 5 bucks.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 16 07 11:08
I've never had it....doubt that I ever would (although I'd never say never)....but I don't have a problem with what other people want to do to their bodies.

  What I DO have a problem with, is plastic surgeons who see nothing but dollar signs.  It makes their profession seem pretty schmarmy when you see some of the work they turn out.  Then again, I guess the ultimate choice is with the individual.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 16 07 11:16
I've never had plastic surgury nor do I have problems with anyone wishing to take this up.  I personally don't think that I would go for breast implants, but I should never say never.  People change as years go by.

  ADD:  Looks don't play a huge significance for me.  I'm very comfortable with ME.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 16 07 11:26
I'm against it completely except if my kids for example get what I have (probability is pretty high) then its up to them to get it fixed or not, I'd support them.

Other then that I do not like plastic surgery since I've seen what it can do to people.  My crazy aunt thought my cousin wasn't growing boobs enough for guys to notice so she fibbed her age and she got breast implants at 14.  Then my aunt got plastic surgery, boob job and so on. And now my younger cousin got breast implants.  All that plastic lol.

I only am supportive of breast implants if someone has had breast cancer and for plastic surgery if they have a birth defect (like I had).

That's less about plastic surgery, and more about stupidity. (sorry for being blunt)

There's nothing wrong with plastic surgery.  It's helped a lot of people.  Overactive vanity should be something that plastic surgeons should have a responsibiliy to recognize and refer such people to some kind of concelling first.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Like I've said Plastic surgery can do a lot of good, when you need it as I speak from experience but when its just for looks reasons then I'm against it.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 16 07 11:52
Oh really? The kids didn't recognized their mothers? How utterly sad. Shows like Extreme Makeover just shows you how much we as society truly appreciate 'beauty'. Of course, I'm being sarcastic here. I prefer the other show, What Not to Wear which is more down-to-earth and more realistic. Stacy and Clinton are my fav hosts.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 16 07 11:54
 I don't know how I feel about that whole thing purelife.  Some of those people's lives were pretty sad to begin with.  Most of those people have lived a long life of pain from malformation etc.  I only saw a few, but of the ones I did see.....these people really looked like they could use a little help.  As far as the big boobs, the liposuction and hair transplant stuff goes.....these things could be considered excessive.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 16 07 11:56
Very excessive indeed, PC. I always cringed when they do the dental work. In Canada, it's frowned upon when you do that much veneers without considering the consequences down the road. Not to mentioned they corrected jaw surgery without considering orthodontic work but simply slap on a plastic jaw to you. It's all extreme and a quick fix.

  I just don't understand why this show keeps coming back.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 16 07 11:57
It's definitely an issue with many many opinions and it can be difficult, especially for me, to draw the line and such.  I do have to agree with you about how some ladies there do need it.  I'm just saying that it's sad that their kids didn't recognize their moms.  Ah well.

  I decided that I would try to fix and install some things on my Toy. So I decided that the first order of business was to try to hook up my windshield washer sprayers. I had it bypassed and only one working.

I made sure the pump still worked properly and ran new hoses to the two spray nozzles. I ended up taking one out and cleaning it, then pushed it back into place with a snap by feel without looking at it. hooked up the new 'T' piece so it supplies washer fluid to both nozzles on the hood and not just one (stupid plastic 'T' piece was a BUCK!) I had my door open and stood perpendicular to the windshield and reached in to engage the washer fluid sprayer.

Next thing I knew I couldnt see and my eyes were burning from the chemicals in it.. I released the button but I had put a delay on it so it sprayed into my eyes for anther few seconds ( I cursed my ingenuity)... I staggered back and tripped over my toolbox and fell backwards hitting my head on my garage door.

When I took out, cleaned, then put the spray nozzle back in I didnt look to see the way it was pointed, right at my face. Newer cars you can do that, but of course on mine you can. LOL

  So thats my story today..

  Not going camping this weekend like we planned on.. everyone jammed out :(

So I plan on going to red robbins for dinner.. whats everyone elses plans?

Dude I'm surprised you can see the screen well enough to post     :(

I'm glad you survived your incident.

If you had fallen over backwards and broke your spine you would have wound up on the darwin awards!! Or one of those funniest home video shows. Some of the stuffs they play on those programs aren't funny, it's just plain terrible to behold. Like the one where the animal expert is holding a cat on a leash and the thing freaks out and spirals up the guys leg and attaches itself to his genitals?? That shit ain't funny!!!

Heredity



I am the family face;
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.

  The years-heired feature that can
In curve and voice and eye
Despise the human span
Of durance -- that is I;
The eternal thing in man,
That heeds no call to die

lol this is just weird.  First I don't do well with girl cousins. I'm not a girl lol. Now if I had a male cousin we'd be hittin' the xbox 360.  So I'll let my sister try to talk to them but gosh she is as silent as a mouse when it comes to new people.  That's the problem we don't know these cousins.  We've only seen them once before so its like hey I'm blah blah your cousin. Then the older one goes hey I'm so and so and thats about it.

I introduced myself and then they didn't want to talk and just continued to watch tv.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 17 07 01:08
Yeah I was or showed her what to do. lol oh geez.

I was on my last street for the day and the snow was coming down pretty hard.  I was going about as slow as possible the car could go.  The street though curves and goes downhill.  At the top of the hill I positioned the car to make the turn except the car wouldn't turn, it lost traction, wheels locked and then the brakes went.  So the car was basically a missile coming down this hill and slammed into this metal mail box.  The mail box went completely through my front end like a knife.  Somehow the mailbox is fine, its just bent but my car is going to need the entire front end replaced plus the hood and front left side as well.

Then the AAA guy said I had to tell the homeowners I ran into their mailbox.  I was in a very rich nieghbourhood, which is even more depressing.  So I walk up to these person's castle and ring the doorbell. The guy comes out in boxers and tshirt his little kid around 4 or so is with him.  I give insurance stuff and everything but to be honest the mailbox is fine.  Its just bent.

We're probably just going to pay this (the car damage) out of pocket because if insurance took it up my rates would go through the roof.

Anyway it happened around 6am and I didn't get home until 10am. ugh was I tired.  And then of course my great uncle and aunt are here so they're like "I heard about your car".  Oh embarassing.

  purelife...I don't think you want the top brown.....maybe slightly golden.....lol   If you make little peaks with your potatoes, just the tips should be a little brown (just like the tips on a lemon merangue pie)  I usually grate a light layer of cheddar on top, and broil that until it's golden.  It helps keep the potatoes from drying out (and it tastes good too)

Ah, I've used that organic muffin mix from Superstore.  I never thought to add a can of pumpkin.  I love that idea.  So healthy.  Do you pat dry your pumpkin, Lil Me?  I saw this one episode on Food Network where the lady rolled out her can of pumpkin onto a paper towel, then pat dry and then unfold.  Surprisingly, it didn't stick to the paper towel.  She used a rolling pin.  This was her tip to make the batter less watery or something rather.  I can't remember.

 I'm at home today with sick kids.  I have tummy trouble, myself.  I don't know if I've got what the kids have, or it's the cleansing effect of the CNY jai.

  My keyboard at home was busted!  Many letters, like "t" and "y" didn't work.  The backspace didn't work well either.  I have to get a new keyboard.  It was so all of a sudden.  It was fine the other day.  Dunno...like me losing some teeth, it lost some keys.  *shrugs shoulders*  hee hee....

  I've got a question for anyone who can help me.

  I'm looking for a gift for my hair dresser.  Last year, I got him and his wife Famous Players movie tickets.  I don't know what to get them.  I was thinking chocolates, but I think that they don't have a sweet tooth....

 tea or coffee basket (Starbucks usually has some)

Nicholson is Pure Evil, I love him!

Morning all!! What a gorgeous day!

  Heya purelife. Is your hairdresser good? I'm actually looking for one. It's so hard to find a good hairdresser these days.

  You can always get them gift certificates from Metrotown Mall. The certificates will entitle them to shop anywhere in Metrotown Mall. Just go up to the Service Desk and ask. Or lottery tickets - they're a good option.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 20 07 09:48
Lotto tickets.  Great idea.  Ok, I'll check into the wine charms and if I can't find any, then lotto tickets and an appreciation card.  :)

  He's really really good.  He's located in North Vancouver though.  I've recommended my friend to him who has similiar hair style/cut as yours and she loves him as well.  He is the most friendly hair dresser and the sweetest.  :)  I actually got referred to him by someone who posted on DV back in the days.  :)

You're welcome, purelife. Anytime.

  Oh my.... he's all the way in North Vancouver? Dang. We had a wonderful hairdresser but she's all the way in NV so we decided we couldn't see her any more. Too far. *sigh* Oh well.

  I'm looking for one that's close to where we are. So hard to find one. I might just go to the Crystal Mall one of these days and check them out.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

  My mom gave me this thing that she made...sticky rice with meat/peas wrapped in green seaweed leafy thingee.....  I can't wait to eat it... yummy.  It's too bad that she didn't make too many this year.  :(
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 20 07 10:59
Yeah, it can be tough to find a good hairdresser that is convenient and good.  I actually go into his home in downtown, so it's verrrry convenient for me.  :)

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 20 07 11:22
No, sorry, purelife. I think that's PC's department. The only scallop potatoes that I've made comes out from a packet.

  Shouldn't be too hard though. I think all you need are spuds, cream, herbs and olive oil but do check with PC.

Hi purelife......just playing catch up, and noticed you're looking to make scalloped potatoes.  (MMMMM)  Simple and yummy.  I found this recipe on-line, and it's the closest to how I make mine.  I don't scald the milk though.  And if you're using 1% milk, I'd replace at least 1/4 cup of the milk with half and half or cream.  You can add whatever you like to make it interesting.  Some chives, garlic, onion sliced really thin....parsley.....bacon bits....whatever strikes your fancy.

 A basic scalloped potatoes recipe baked in the oven.     4 cups thinly sliced potatoes, about 6 to 8 medium potatoes

2 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

3 tablespoons butter

2 cups scalded milk

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

[H4]PREPARATION:[/H4] In a buttered 2-quart baking dish, place a layer of about 1/3 of the potatoes. In a cup or small bowl, combine flour with salt and pepper. Sprinkle about half of the flour mixture over the potatoes; repeat with another layer of potatoes and the flour mixture and top with remaining potato slices. Dot with butter then pour hot milk over potatoes. Cover and bake at 375° for 45 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes, or until scalloped potatoes are tender and cheese has melted. Scalloped potatoes serves 6 to 8.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Yes.  Has it been taken off?  I didn't find it too too creepy.  It was kinda strange.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Feb 21 07 10:49
I'm not sure whether it's on or not (no cable).  Never liked that show, though- the ballet, the over-acting, the ridiculous costumes!  The kids watched it.
 
  My youngest used to hide when he saw the Crabby Tree (played by Graham Greene) on Dudley the Dragon.
 
 I always admired the raccoon who did crafts on Crazy Quilt.  I'm terrible with artistic things.

Good morning everybody!

  It's sunny down here in Seattle!  What's it doing up there?  I'm thinking that a walk around Green Lake is in order.

  Big News!!!!  Hubby and I bought a house this weekend up in Vancouver!  Super excited.  Still some subjects attached - but they're removed in a few days!

We like A&amp;W if we're going for burgers.  The onion rings are good.  The fries are mediocre unless you add gravy.  Root beer in frosty mugs!

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Feb 21 07 03:31
   We have fast food everywhere but like this town some fast food places are catered towards the black community so they do not go out into the suburbs (this sounds bizarre but its the case here)
These include:
Church's chicken
Rally's
Popeye's Chicken and Biscuts
Del Taco

I have no idea why those establishments are not out in the suburbs but its a long story.

Then in the 'white' communities
Mcdonald's (they're in both communities)
Burger King (both but right now all of the stores are closed local company went bankrupt)
Wendy's (both, but local company went bankrupt so all of the stores are closed)
Steak n' Shake
Culver's
Taco Bell (both)
Long John Silvers (both)
Captain D's
A&amp;W
Hardee's (both)
White Castle (both)
Jack in the Box
Chick fil a (in the malls)
KFC
Lee's Famous Chicken
Arby's
Lion's Choice
Boston Market
Crazy Bowls and wraps

gosh my town is stupid.

I know of no other place where certain businesses will not open up in certain communities.


     
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Feb 21 07 03:35
fried chicken isn't very popular here.  KFC has closed most of its locations (except in malls),  and Popeye's went out of business within a year.  There is still Church's and a few mom and pop chicken stores.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I know of half of those fast food places. Havent heard of all of them.

 At my inner city church there's a popeye's down the street been their a few times.  Their food is too greasy for my liking.  Had church's chicken once in high school after we played a football game (i was on the team) got weird looks mainly because I was the only white kid in the place. lol

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

 You asked for it.
So...one of the distinctive things about In-N-Out is the extremely simple menu. There are only a few things you can order, but they all taste yummy    :)

Anyway, that's what they WANT you to believe. In fact, there is a whole "secret menu" for people who walk up to the window, close one eye and give the sacred Handshake of Doom.

"3-by-3" = three meat patties and three slices of cheese.

"4-by-4" = four meat patties and four slices of cheese.

"2-by-4" = two meat patties and four slices of cheese.

*Note: You can get a burger with as many meat patties or cheese slices as you want. Just tell the In-N-Out Burger cashier how many meat patties and how much cheese you want and that is what you'll get! For instance, if you want 6 pieces of meat and 10 pieces of cheese tell them you want a "6-by-10."

"Double Meat" = like a Double Double without cheese.

"3 by Meat" = three meat patties and no cheese.

"Animal Style" = the meat is cooked and fried with mustard and then pickles are added, extra spread and grilled onions are added.

"Animal Style Fries" = fries with cheese, spread, grilled onions and pickles (if you ask for them).

"Protein Style" = for all you low-carbohydrate dieters, this is a burger with no bun (wrapped in lettuce).

"Flying Dutchman" = two meat patties, two slices of melted cheese and nothing else - not even a bun!

Fries "Well-Done" = extra crispy fries . . . even better than the regular!

Fries "Light" = opposite of fries well-done, more raw than most people like 'em

"Grilled Cheese" = no meat, just melted cheese, tomato, lettuce and spread on a bun.

"Veggie Burger" = burger without the patty or cheese. Sometimes we call this the "Wish Burger."

"Neapolitan" Shake = strawberry, vanilla and chocolate blended together.

The friendly employees of In-N-Out Burger will take your special order without question, if you use the right terminology. The printed receipt will have your special request typed on it just as we said it.

Try it!

  Wow. Going back and reading a few pages gives me a headache. Quick glance....

  Yes, Toy Castle is still on Tree House. I don't mind it as much but Lise Jr. got scared when she first saw it. She doesn't mind it as much but it's not her favorite.

  I have bookmarked the TreeHouse website. Thanks, purelife. Lise Jr. loves the Max and Ruby interactive game.

  Lunch today was a quick chicken salad sandwich from Timmies. Now my stomach's growling again.

  I finally bought a car seat for the other one. Cost me $200, the Alpha Omega Elite (fancy name) but I need it. Damn baby stuff cost the earth!!! *wallet suffering*

Post by: tenkani on Feb 21 07 03:57
 They're pretty quick actually, even when you order from the Menu of Doom.
The neopolitan shake is scrummy, well done fries are a nice change and the animal style fries taste awesome! Until you get about half way through and then (for me anyway) the nausea begins to set in. French fries with thousand island dressing, cheese and onions piled on top. Can you smell it?

Like taxes on your blank CDs and DVDs. It's to stop you from downloading illegal/free music from the net. It's enough to make me cry. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)  You won't get charge on the iPods you own but the newer ones might get a hefty tax charge.

 No Apple iPod tax for Canada:
[a href="http://news.com.com/No+iPod+tax+for+Canada/2100-1041_3-5809117.html"]
http://news.com.com/No+iPod+tax+for+Canada/2100-1041_3-5809117.html[/a]

  The Canadian Supreme Court won't hear a case involving extra fees for iPods and other MP3 players in that country, ending a dispute over a so-called iPod tax, but rekindling debate over the legality of file swapping.      [/p] At issue was a long-standing law that allows a regulatory agency to collect a small extra fee on blank media such as CDs and tapes, with the revenues going to artists and record labels to recompense them for the private copies being made of their work. [/p]  That agency, the Copyright Board of Canada, said in late 2003 that iPods and other hard-drive players were being used to copy music as well, and [a href="http://news.com.com/Canada+deems+P2P+downloading+legal/2100-1025_3-5121479.html" title="Canada deems P2P downloading legal -- Friday, Dec 12, 2003"]imposed a fee [/a] of up to $25 on the devices. An Appeals Court set aside that decision last year, and Thursday's Supreme Court action will leave iPods untaxed. [/p]  The decision may have broader implications for Canadian computer users, however.  [/p]  The country's trade association for record labels quickly welcomed the Supreme Court's action as a sign that unauthorized file swapping was once again viewed as unambiguously illegal. [/p]  That connection stems from another court ruling, in which a judge said that trading files though a file swapping network [a href="http://news.com.com/Judge+File+sharing+legal+in+Canada/2100-1027_3-5182641.html" title="Judge: File sharing legal in Canada -- Wednesday, Mar 31, 2004"]appeared to be legal[/a], citing the Copyright Board's fee regime. [/p]  But if copying files to hard drives--whether on an iPod or a computer--is not included in the private copying fees, then file swapping is no longer protected, executives at the Canadian Recording Industry Association said.
[/p]
 "For years, those supporting unauthorized file sharing have misleadingly used the existence of the Private Copying Levy to justify illegitimate file sharing," CRIA President Graham Henderson said in a statement. "Today, the Supreme Court says 'no such luck.'" [/p]  Copyright regulators said the Supreme Court's action was regrettable, and might even make most common uses of the iPod illegal. [/p] "The clear result of this decision is that copying recorded music onto an iPod is illegal, unless the copying has been authorized by rights holders," said David Basskin, a director of the Canadian Private Copying Collective, which collects and distributes the fees on blank media, in a statement. [/p]  The CPPC would return the fees that had been collected from iPod and other digital audio device sales between December 2003 and December 2004, the group said. [/p]  The ambiguity in Canadian law may be resolved before the courts have much time to address file-swapping issues again, however. The Canadian government has [a href="http://news.com.com/2061-10796_3-5754580.html" title="Canada proposes tighter copyright law -- Monday, Jun 20, 2005"]introduced a wide-ranging new copyright law[/a] that is expected to definitively make trading copyright files online without permission illegal.[/p]

This group is going to try to tax all mp3's again. If this board accepts it, it will most likely be challenged by somebody and it will head right back to the Supreme Court of Canada which will unless all the judges are replaced by the Conservatives by then rule in favour of the people and not the companies and the tax will be illegal.

Lunch is to be appreciated, not revelled in. Undue attention to pleasures of the flesh leads to impure thoughts, which in turn fuel His terrible wrath and pulls him from His deep slumber like a titanic whale from the depths of some hellish sea. Lunch gives us strength to do good works in His name, and thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight, and weep tears of blood to help redeem the wicked.

Yea, though the Maker created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind...still, this whale is unlike all others and its eons-long slumber has been troubled of late. We must shed our blood and our sins to restore the balance, lest the whale awake and consume our souls.

My beamy golden skin
Hit the pan's suzzling surface
I felt a rumbling inside
And I exploded into fat, puffy whiteness
I fell into a bowl with all of my inflated friends
Melted butter smothered me
Salt rained down on my body
In fours and fives my friends disappeared
Here I am, the last one in the bowl
Too much Kernel and not enough puff

  Gorgeous day out there.

 That's pretty good because the green waste collection is finished until Spring around here.  You need to drive your own garden waste to the dump.

There is a chipper that comes around twice a year I think, where you can get rid of most larger garden waste.  Some of the stuff that came down in the storm is too big for the chipper.  The larger stuff gets cut for the woodstove, and the rest gets composted. But there's always some mess left behind after you utilize what you can.

Morning all. Can't stay for long. It's so great that you can chop the twigs and wood then burn them on the spot, PC. We have to gather them and tie them up neatly so the garbage guys can take them away.... but if you don't put them in a neat pile or in a bag, they flat refuse to take them.

I agree Lil Me! Costco has the bestest food for after you are done with the enjoyment of getting your cart rammed by people that shouldn't even be driving a car much less a cart.

  I usually get either the polish sausage like what you get, or get the montreal beef bun. Its 5 bucks but you get a wad of meat in a butter soaked bun.. with the meat teh size of a mans fist.

  Dammit you are making me hungry
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Feb 23 07 01:55
Woah that meaty bun sounds disgustingly tasty!!

Do they serve chicken bakes at the CostCos in Canada?

They are basically chicken pieces and cheese and chives I think and some scrummy sauce baked inside of a seasoned wrappy shell type thing. If they haven't been sitting under the heat lamp too long they are the freakin bomb-diggity     :O  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I don't think there's a chicken bake.  Usually just hot dogs, cardboard pizza, chicken strips/fries, and the meat sammy.  There's also a baked calzone right now.  I think the Richmond store has stir fry.

Afternoon. Swimming. I'm anti-swimming in the winter months. Come to think of it, I'm anti-swimming many days of the year.

Grrr. Spent like 15 mins trying to clean my stupid pot and all I got were three little bowls of sago because the sago stuck to everywhere else but my bowls.

oh purelife is getting her hair done!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 23 07 04:06
 Yep, it looks easy but cleaning up wasn't.

  You're highlighting your hair. Nice. Are you going to get it done professionally? I did mine with my GFs eons ago and found the chemicals too harsh for my hair. It kinda killed my  hair at one point. Took forever to get it back even after I conditioned it.

  Good job finishing your lesson, SD. Must feel nice to complete something.[/DIV]
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 23 07 04:09
Yup, I get it done professionally.  There's no way that I can attempt this myself or do the store-bought product thingee.  He says that he uses really good products and I've always had excellent looking hi-lights that turned out great.  I haven't had my hair hi-lighted for a year now.  I'm long due for it.  :)

  It's time for a change. :)

Well, you look good no matter what. You deserve to pamper yourself. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif)

Thank you Lise.  :)   We get so busy with our lives that at times, we neglect to take care of ourselves.  My next pampering is to experience a professional facial/spa/pedicure/manicure... I've NEVER been to one and have always wanted to try it, but of course, it's the cost....can be expensive.  :)   I always have my bills and rent and food to pay first and whatever is leftover, is my money to pamper myself, which is not much.  :(  

  I hope that you get to pamper yourself too, Lise, once in a while. :)

Noodles...yummmyy.... I tried those noodles..Noodle King that you were talking about.  I like them.  I don't use the packets of the flavoring because it's too salty for my liking.  

  Tonight, I'm frying some t-bone steak.  yummy!

Too salty? Yeah, they can get a bit too salty. You can usually halve it and it works just fine.

  Im jealous.. Im too lazy to get up, lol. Especially with chronicles of riddick coming up.. Take care! Ill be around.

  We are debating now if fish at all. lol. The neighbors are EI's and the curry smells are driving us nuts.. thats making our mouths water so we might be heading out for that.

I've looked at the Hamilton Beach one, the one where you can take the grills out but they're so heavy and I rather like the option where the oil and fat can drip into a holder which the HB did not have.

Hey Russ, have you been to this all you can eat hot pot out in Richmond?  It's called Dukes Palace Seafood Hot Pot on Hazelbridge Way across from Aberdeen.  My brother and his g/f went there and for about $18 (per person) you get all the seafood, meat, veggies you want for your hot pot.  They said that they loved it there.  My bro. is going to have his b-day party there next week.  I'm looking forward to it.  :)

Good morning everyone.

  Have anyone seen the Coast Capital commercials where they have a table of "FREE Stuff" and people walk by and take things like dolls with no heads, etc?  Well, anyways, this morning, out of the Coast Capital building on West Georgia, there was this vending machine with a side label "Free Stuff."  My coworker and I looked at the machine and tested it out.  I got a cute little Canada souvenir ash tray.  She got a bedroom dice.  There were many free stuff in that vending machine.  Smart marketing! :)

  We went to Bread Garden last night and I treat my girl and hubby to a cheesecake. Ooooh divine. We had the plain cheesecake with chocolate dripping and whipped cream. So good. *sigh*

  Now I want to make cheesecake this week. Perhaps with mango flavor.

Speaking of losing weight once I finish this class this week all I'm going to do for the next few months is workout about 2 to 3 hrs a day. lol  Body has taken a toll for the past few years of inactivity.

You should go easy on your body if you want to start working out all over again.

  I'm starting on my hubby's elliptical machine. Took two minutes before I was gasping for air then lolling my dead carcass off. I can't believe how tough that machine is. Striving to make five mins per day. My hubby's superfit, he can last 30 mins.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Morning Lise and SD.

  Yeah, take it easy SD.  Start slow so that you get your body used to the workout routine and then gradually, do the 2-3 hours a day, everyday.  The eating properly works really well.

  SIDE NOTE:  Has anyone taken protien shakes?  I'm going to look into what brand to buy and which one.  But, if anyone out there has some opinions, I'd love to hear.

  Hey Lise.  Skinny, me?  Gosh, heck no.  But, thanks for your compliment. :)  The eliptical looks like fun, Lise.  I think that you'll enjoy it.  You might want to put up a poster of some hunky hunky guy so that you can stare at a lil sum sum, hey hey?! ;) (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/13.gif)

Great avatar, Purelife. It's just how I imagine you.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Feb 27 07 11:32
Hey purelife, yeah.... I know, pretty pricey but it's a once in a blue moon kinda indulgence. I don't usually buy the cheesecake there as they're expensive but it's a treat for my family I can indulge once in awhile.

  Protein shakes taste awful!!! Grosss. And they're not cheap either. Hubby bought one can in bulk size and I told him on the spot that he wouldn't drink it but he was adamant that it would help him loose weight and stay superhealthy. He tried one drink and was so grossed out he couldn't drink the rest. What a bloody waste.

  I'm not convinced those protein shakes work. You'll have to shop around, purelife. Read the nutritional labels carefully because most of them just give you calories instead of the other way round. Better to make your own blend, like make it with milk and add veggies/fruits of your choice.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 27 07 11:39
Thanks Gopher.  :)

  Yup, I'll be reading the label verrrry carefully and doing more research before I fork out like 50 bucks or something.  Gosh, they can get expensive.

I bought those very thin slices of raw beef from T &amp; T. They make great fillings for sandwiches.

  First you slice onions and mushrooms. Stir fry those in oil then put aside. The stir-fry the slices of beef. They don't take very long. Cut out buns, toast them in the toaster oven. Just before serving, put beef, onions and mushrooms in buns. Put BBQ sauce on beef as well.  Serve with salad. Dead easy. It's my version of Philidephia steak minus the cheese (which you can melt and put on if prefer).

Vietnamese sandwiches are awesome, Lil Me. If you haven't tried them, you have to try one. It's kinda like a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisine, so you get the French bread and the meat from Vietnam. They include pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro and chillies. Yum yummy!!

  The best Vietnamese sandwich I had is Pho Saigon on Kingsway, near the Nikkei Community Centre. There's also one on Kingsway... can't remember the exact location but it's close to where the hospital is. (Argh... my mind's drawing a blank right now.)

 How late do you work? Do you start around noon and work till late? Or can you come and go as you want, as long as you put in a certain amount of work a day?

I have the luck to work at a job where I can come in at 5:00 P.M. and chances are good I won't be missed. I work in a large organization with poor management. I remind me a little of Milton Waddams from Office Space in that if I were to move my desk to the basement no one would really notice.

  Ok, my office mates would notice, but I could probably get away with it for a few weeks at least.

  Oh, um, filipino noodles are filipino because they call themselves "Pinoy Chicken"!!

Plus they are hawt     :)

Stupidstore lasagne isnt too bad if you put another layer of meat and your own cheese on top of it.

I usually put a layer of spagball sauce with ground beef on top of whats there, then a whack of cheese.

  The best place to get things like lasagne and shephards pie is costco. I shit you not. The quality of the prepared food is good, it is almost full price though.

  hmm, I might go there tomorrow.. I have to convince the boss.

I don't have a Costco membership.  :(  The next time when I piggyback off of my b/f's grandma's card, I'll be sure to get some.  Lasagna looks and sounds too fussy to make.  Oh, I still have yet to visit M&amp;M's for those cabbage rolls.  I wonder if Kitten has made more visits to M&amp;M.  I miss her... :(  I haven't seen her around for a while.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Feb 28 07 11:36
I didnt know that life cereal was still around.. Im a cheerios man myself.

  Well, my day started off with a HUGE stink in the house. So I start wandering around with my nose until I come to the scourge of the smell... one of my 9 inch long algae eater fish died and was floating in my tank.. and ALREADY stinking  like hell. It was fine last night at 10pm when I fed my fish for the second time. I decided to take it out of the tank and have a coffee before cleaning my fishtank again.. i had removed the charcoal from my filter when I put some medication in and cause of that my tank got a bit green, so it was time to clean anyhow.

  Meanwhile I took the stinking fish outside onto the back deck and put it in a garbage bag to take to the trash later. I walk inside, you think I would have clued in something was going to happen when the cat was meowing and doing figure 8's around my legs. After I cleaned the tank and flushed the water a few times, the cat got really annoying, so I grabbed her and threw her outside onto the back deck and closed the door. I then refilled the tank and doused the water. Let the filters take up the rest.. I take the rest of the garbage I had out onto the deck and as soon as I opened the back door I was assaulted by a horrid smell.

  The CAT had knocked over the bucket with the plastic bagged fish in it, and torn the plastic bag to shreds. She then had proceeded to disect and smear my fish all over the back deck in the process. I guess this was to make sure we didnt get rid of the smell too quickly for her, it also could be so that she would have a smorgasboard of food. I could see the tail by the plastic bag, the parts and innards all along the length of the deck, then the head was between her paws, and all over her face and fur.

  Now I started cleaning everything up on the back deck all the while throwing comments at the furry beast, when the dog came out on the back deck. Now the worst thing happens here, I didnt notice the dog come out and continued berating the cat while I swear she smiled at me. The dog starting barking at the cat and starting chasing her.. she came at me and jumped up! Now I was covered in stinky fish guts that left me gagging, so I ripped off my shirt and pants throwing them away to get rid of the smell. Then I noticed the neighbor staring at me from his back deck at me in my underwear and slippers. Great. thats all I need, they already think we are crazy over here.

  I left the dog outside to play with my shirt, trying to attack it cause of the smell, and took the cat inside to clean off.

  Im now on another cup of coffee with the furry beast glaring at me cause I took that wonderful cat cologne off her of dead algae eater.

  So, hows everyone else's day?

Post by: purelife on Feb 28 07 11:43
Oh my goodness RUSS!  What a morning!  I always like your stories.  All I can say is, CAT LOVES FISH!  Could you have flushed that fishy down the toilet?  I LOL'ed when you told us about you ripping your shirt and pants and then your neighbor saw you!  LOL.  Sorry, I'm not being insensitive here...I was just trying to picture that.  ;)  hee hee....

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Feb 28 07 12:12
 LOL, Im laughing about it now, was mad and stinky before.

  Gopher - The algae eater was floating, so any time after a fish dies I usually change 75% of the water, flush the tank, then do another 75% of the tank, and fill the water again. I then douse the water with chemicals.

The tank was greenish and needing a change earlier cause I removed the charcoal from the aquaclear filter, you have to do that when you add medication to the tank, or the charcoal will remove the medication. Without the charcoal the tank goes murky fast.

Normally I clean the tank once every two months.. but change and flush the water once a month. I added the medication (19 bucks for ONE dose!!!) cause one of my large orange angelfish had mouth fungus, and a few of my widetail guppies had fin rot.

  My pants and shirt werent ripped when I took them off PL.. my shirt is now toast cause the dog is doing the typical dog thing of trying to shred it while shaking its head, but my pants are ok, I rescued them and put them in the wash a few minutes ago.

  The cat has two chairs shes normally on, the one in the kitchen beside the table in there.. and the one that she tried to retake three times that night where I was sitting in the dining room. You could tell she was mad that night night cause as soon as I left the chair she was back up and would dig her claws in when I tried to shake the chair to get her off. And you thought I was joking! If you walk by Chloe when shes on a chair and dont acknowledge her she will swat you with a paw full of claws. It really hurts when you arent expecting it.

    Crap, now my brother is complaining about the smell on the back deck. As if its my fault! LOL. Damn beastie.[/DIV]

   Oh.. :( I 100% agreed with you until the last part.. Im not a fan of plastic cheese. Ill buy the sliced real cheese or take the slicer I stole from SS's place and cut up a block of cheese into my own slices.

  Unless Im off in the brambles and the brushes, and you meant real cheese in slices?

  Yaagh!

I find Costco the cheapest for things like cheese and sandwhich meats. Have you found anywhere else thats cheaper? Places like buylow and safeway tend to sell one package for the price that costco sells two joined together.

    Ok, youve got my mouth watering.. Im going to try to get in touch with SS to go to costco later, lol.

Superstore isn't bad, either.   The no-name cheese isn't quite as good, but it's ok.

Do you buy the premade packaged ones that are frozen or the big ones that come fresh in teh meat section?

  I tend to get the double thick ones as they are the only patties that I have found that have NO seasoning in them whatsoever. I smother them in montreal steak seasoning and when they are almost cooked.. cover them in a mixture of bullseye and franks red hot sauce.

Nope you didn't.  Do tell!  Tell again.  :)  I wanna hear another one of your stories.  

  What were you 10 years ago?  How many inches do you have to lose?  You know, before I met my b/f, I was A LOT slimmer.  You know what they say, once you get into a relationship, you gain weight.  LOL

Afternoon all. Boy was it ever weird this morning. A bit of snow.

  Just had lunch at Thai House. Lunch special. Yummy. The servers there kept asking why I never come in any more. Guilty look on my face.... yeah, kids blah blah blah. No time to sit and eat. I'm surprised at how fast I wolfed down my meals. Guess it comes with looking after kids and always being in a hurry to get things done.

  I really should sit down and relax more often.

  That was a funny story, Russ. purelife's right when she says your stories are amusing... That reminds me. We had a aquarium where I used to keep fishes. Out of rest that kept dying on me, the one fish that seemed to have 9 lives was this wee little albino catfish the size of one's pinky. I don't know what he's made off but he seems to live thru some really nasty water and even jumped out of the tank (don't ask how), stayed on the carpet for goodness knows how long and managed to still stay alive.

  I'm thru with fish. They keep dying on me.

WHA?  The fish jumped out of the tank? AMAZING!  I suck at taking care of living things like fishes and plants.  They die on me too. :(  

  Afternoon Lise.

Hey there purelife. Any plans for dinner? I've just stuffed a whole chicken in the oven because my hubby's been bugging me to make roast chicken. He can't wait till Thanksgiving. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Roast chicken sounds absolutely delicious.  Dinner?  Uhm, I'm going to have some sardines with an orange and maybe finish off that cheesecake if my b/f hasn't done so already.

Good afternoon, ladies.

A filipino omelet has tomato and cheddar cheese and onion and a special reddish sweet meat what I forget the of. It was scrummy.

I also took my car through an automated car wash for the first time in my life and it was a very sensual experience. Hawt!

  Hey purelife. Sorry, had to dash off like that. Diaper and cuddle emergency. Lise Jr. just won't go to sleep, dang it!!! Grrrr.

  Omega 3 eggs are more expensive but you can get them slightly cheaper at Save-On Foods. They're the Western Family brand. It's not a necessity but it's better than the normal eggs. However, I believe if you take Omega 3 pills (or any of those multi-vitamins) a day, then it's not necessary to buy them. I have to buy these things because of my hubby's condition. We have to err on the side of caution.

This will make a difference what gear it is in, if you are in a higher gear than it needs to be then it will 'lug' the engine, thus putting out unburnt fuel.

I agree, get rid of aircare and bring back the city test inspection. The average person wont bypass the emissions on the newer vehicles if theres no more aircare, and the road will be safer. I had an older vehicle that I got to pass aircare, but had other issues, but no one could get me to get it off the road unless a cop sent me for a VI. Which doesnt happen very often.

As for passing aircare with higher octane, yes it can help. Also put in MEthyl Hydrate on a half tank of gas prior to going through, if you know how retard your timing a bit. As long as you have a cat and EGR valve that works you should go through.

Hi pitbulla.bc.

Nothing wrong with not having an Ipod. I have one and it has a lot of dust collected on it. I got satelite radio and fell in love with it. Depends what you are into. I don't like being a DJ, I like sitting back and letting someone else do that.

Tapes though? you should hold onto those! My parents use to make mix tapes off of their records.

"Awesome Mix #39"
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: pitbullca.bc on Mar 01 07 07:38
agreed!  And if you are feeling up to it...you can record music so that kids can listen to it on tape..instead of possibly ruining the cd's.  I find that the cd's are much more delicate than the tapes that you could just throw in you pocket.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Mar 01 07 07:41
yeah, that makes sense. cds scratch east. That is the main reason I got an ipod. I put all my cds in on place.

I know this goes against man laws but I think girls in one pieces are hotter. With a one piece a designer can have more fun with the suit and make it look sexy.

My girls love the water so guess who has to go into the pool with them. Their dada refuses to get his "beautiful" hair wet so I have to get in there with them. Not that I mind but I just hate being in water and a bathing suit at the same time.

Uhm. I don't really want to know what goes into a swimming pool.... with kids and accidents. *shudder*

  My boss was telling me this really funny story about swimming at the Richmond Pool. Apparently the waves kinda make kids have potty accidents in the pool. One time the speakers called everyone out of the pool pronto. My dentist was wondering what the fuss was all about when lo and behold, she saw a floating piece beside her. THAT WAS TOTALLY GROSS. She hasn't been back since. (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/a010.gif)

Ewww...that's kinda gross.... I haven't seen that before.  But, chlorine does kill all the germs.  And technically, urine is good for the skin as urine is a secret beauty ingredient.  I kid you not.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I notice that at the pool, everybody minds their own business.  Plus, you always look different when you're changed into regular clothes and have your hair all washed and dried.  Nobody is going to recognize you.  Lise, I used to feel self-conscious about being in a bathing suit, and still do a bit to this day, but I don't care what others think and if they look, so be it.  I can't stop them from looking.  I always mind my own business anyways. :)  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Hey purelife. I wish I could be like you but I'm still conscious of anyone looking at yours truly. That's a really positive attitude you have there.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 01 07 11:19
That's probably due purelife to the fact that you're in a relationship.  People I know that are in long term relationships don't really seem to care what people think about them at the pool/beach anymore.  

But then I used to be self aware of my birth defect and then I got it fixed.  Then I was worried about people asking me what the scar was. Now I don't care anymore. lol

 Hi Lise and PL
 
 I need a new suit, too.  Sport Chek doesn't have their summer stock out yet, but they usually have good suits- lots of tankinis and basic 1-piece suits.
 
 Costco usually stocks the Body Glove 3/4 length wet suits in the spring, too ($30-$40?).  I'd consider getting one this year.   A lot of the swim instructors wear them.  I could use one because I do spend time in the water with my Scout groups, and would like to avoid the wedgie/bathing suit slippage issues.
 
 Lise, it might be good for you when you're splashing around in the kiddie pool- I was always freezing my butt when my kids were tots because the kiddie pool water isn't deep enough to cover an adult!

Not too bad, SD. I'm looking forward to the weekend. Time to go out with friends again. Yaay! I'm trying to decide whether I should go and make curry beef (which means I need to go out and grab lemongrass) or stay home and just de-frost Thai fish cakes and serve those instead.

  Are you done with your study?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 02 07 10:09
close, turns out I still have 2 weeks left, so that means I don't have to quickly rush the essays.  Going to finish all the school work up today so all I have left is the essays. Can't wait.

Worried about college though, my family has absolutely no money (we couldn't fix everything on my car after the wreck).  So that basically means university falls on my shoulders. Which also means I'll be in debt for the rest of my life. (A student in the United States can't pay for university on their own anymore).  For example if I went to the Seattle school that's 25k a year x 4 that's 100,000 dollars in loans.  Now if I get into the BC school that's 8-11CAD tops which is like 10 USD x 4 that's 40,000 USD.  I could easily pay that off.


ugh money.

Good morning Lise, SD and anyone else who is lurking.

  This morning has been pretty busy.  Honestly, who'd give me work on a Friday?  That should be illegal. ;)  tee hee...

  Lunch is deli ham and cheese sammich with an apple.  Yum Yum.  I don't know what I'll have for dinner yet.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 02 07 10:14
Another option is to find full-time employment and work a year or two and then go back to school.  Or, you could work part-time and study at the same time.  Can you take out student loans?  

  Those fees for BC Uni/College sounds mighty cheap.  I don't recall it being that cheap for anyone.  It's a lot more than that.  You sure 'bout that?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 02 07 10:17
 Absolutely positive about the cost purelife for the BC school here's what it says right off its website:

$4850 per semester
 Where programs require more than 15 credits per semester - or when students choose to study more than 15 credits per semester, there will be an additional charge

That's for international and local students.  That's cheaper then my in-state public 4 year university here.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Mar 02 07 10:37
Student loans are the suck SD!!

I still have about $20,000 to pay off but originally I had 30 so I guess I shouldn't complain!!

My semi-sister had way more than that after she became a doctor so she went and worked on an Indian reservation to get a chunk of her loan forgiven.

  So can you get a student loan from a U.S. bank to go to a Canadian school?

 good question tenkani.  I have no idea.  All I know is that the BC school is the better career path and it won't kill me at 40 with a heart attack due to stress like the other school's career path. lol    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 02 07 10:46
Are you planning to take out student loans?  If you do, one word of advice.  Make sure and be positively sure that the courses you take will benefit in the end.  (meaning that you'll get an excellent job out of it)  I've seen many many people taking courses and then figure out that that Degree is NO GOOD in this day and age and then, they chose another path.  I would get into some sort of Designation.  Just my two cents.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 02 07 10:52
 Yup I know PL. Which is why I'm worried.

The Seattle school the more expensive one is a liberal arts college. That means only two career paths really. Poly Sci major with a minor in Social Welfare.  That means politics and or social worker/social activist which equals no money.

The BC school has a geography major which means I can go into another thing I'm good at which is Urban Planning.  That career path makes much better money and is less stressful then a career in yelling at people would be. lol

The only subjects I'm good at and always have been good at are geography, history, political science and I've flirted with the concept of journalism.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Mar 02 07 10:58
Mr. SD, think of where you will get the money and remember that an actual student loan will have a much lower interest rate than other loans. So if you can't get a student loan for a Canadian school and have to get a higher interest loan it should factor into your decision.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Mar 02 07 11:03
Yes sure Mr. SD but finances are not my strong suite.

Compared to most loans, actual student loans have a pretty low interest rate, so basically the bank doesn't charge you much interest each year so in effect they are easier to pay off.

  In addition, a lot of people qualify for "subsidized loans" which means there is no interest at all as long as you are a student!!

  The question is whether you can get a student loan when you're attending school in a different country and I don't know the answer to that, but I think I know who to ask.

SD....are you only comparing the cost of tuition?  

  I'm really not sure, but I think you may need to do a little more research.  The cost of a university education in B.C. is only 25% higher than in the US.  Although the tuition is lower, the 'out of pocket' expenses are far greater here than there.

  [A href="http://www.educationalpolicy.org/pdf/Affordability.pdf"]http://www.educationalpolicy.org/pdf/Affordability.pdf[/A]

  This study may be helpful.....it compares the total cost of a University Education on both sides of the border....not just tuition.

Russ,  the change in Costco's return policy.......electronics (TV, etc.) has to be return within 90 days, effective immediately in California.......other states to follow in the coming weeks.  Old policy which people were abusing and costing Costco millions allows returns at anytime and no questions asked.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Mar 02 07 03:29
Low heat. Take your time. the patties are only 3/4" thick (19mm)

  I sometimes raise the grill.. oh and I also have those fire bricks on top of the burners so the heat is reflected back into the bottom and only comes up evenly.

  If your bbq is too hot because of flame hotspots.. when they are grill marked on the outside, take them off and put them in the oven at 300 deg F for about 20 minutes to finish cooking in the middle. I always leave my patties a smidgen pink in the very middle.

  Ill see if I remember to take a few pictures for you. I will be at a friends though.. and I will be putting two sheets to the wind tongiht.

  Was there a lotta snow at Mt. Seymour? Did you guys do anything there?

Well, the 'nucks game was pretty good. I was getting worried cause everytime the nucks would score Min would score right afterwards. Went past the 5 min overtime into the shootout. Pretty good.. Blasted beer was 8 bucks each so wasnt allowed more than a few, didnt want to spend an arm on food so we had dinner at Moxies just up the way from GM place after the game.

    Earlier today I helped a buddy work on his dads truck. His dad was a hinderance, but an absolute laugh!

  TheDad: What are you doing? That wont work! You young kids are dumb!

Friend:  We are not young kids and yes it will.

Friend: look do you want us to help or not?

Russ: here, let us just do this...

TheDad:  Gimme that! &lt;takes and tries, drills into thumb&gt; Crap! Im leaking.. You must have broken it when you took if off the old one.

Russ you went to the Canucks game? Awesome. A friend and I went to the Blues-Canucks game back in October and I had a blast (well the Canucks won so of course I was happy).  And of course I happen to run into a bunch of Canuck fans on the way to my car in the parking lot.  (I think I was more pumped that the team won then they were).  Somebody in the stands told me to "Go back to Canada" (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif) .  Oh that was funny.

Whose smell this is I think I know-

Won't let her in my office though.

I cannot stand her stopping here

To fill my nose with vapors so.

  My co-workers must think it's queer

To hear me say "not so fast, dear,"

And force her out the office door

Before that odor gets in here.

  She gives her big earrings a shake

Certain that there is some mistake,

As noxious clouds pervade my space

Egad! Swift action I must take.

  Despite her friendly, happy glow

This I must say - for it is so:

her scent would drop a buffalo.

Her scent would drop a buffalo.

  Epilogue:

So in the future, please do think

When standing at the bathroom sink,

So much perfume just makes you stink.

So much perfume just makes you stink.

 Oh dear...what a story Russ!  :)  He's kinda being ignorant...I don't understand why parents think that young ones don't know any better.  I hope that I don't end up being a mom who doesn't trust my own kids to do it better than me. I'm all for learning from anyone, no matter the age.  :)  

 Those pictures of your chicken (it was chicken, right?) look excellent!  I'm a-coming ova next time, k?  ;)

 I hope that everyone else is having a wonderful morning.  Sorry to hear about your neighbor with all the perfume.  I don't know if you could do much about it but perhaps you could take a bucket of water and get her wet?  ;)  I try not to wear too much myself as to not disrupt my working neighbors.  

 If she's friendly, you saying something to her might work so that next time, she is considerate.  If it were me and I was disrupting my neighbor, I would say something.  I've told my female co-worker that her perfume was verrrry strong once and she was nice about it and didn't do it again.  She apparently accidently over-sprayed herself after her smoking break.  :)  We laughed about it.

It's the weirdest story.

We went to university together and used to be friends, although not close friends.

We used to study in the same computer lab and chat and I was completely spun on her.

Then I graduated and she stayed on to pursue her Masters degree.

  Then 2 years later she's hired on as an intern where I work and ends up in my room (700+ employees and she ends up sitting next to me)?? I had mixed feelings to say the least. I also have mixed feelings about her mini skirts. OMGWTF.

Ordering in burgers? Don't talk to me about burgers. Yesterday my mother-in-law bought Lise Jr. a burger from McPuke and she didn't want it so I had to eat it. I almost choked on that. I don't think I want to see another burger for a long, long, long time.

It's really easy, Russ. Got the idea from Ms. PC. I just browned the meat, then dumped into the crockpot. Then I toss in some ketchup, BBQ sauce and a bit of beef stock. I didn't think it would taste good but man, it turned out well.

We ordered in burgers from Venus Burgers that is from this neighborhood Pub in New West on 6th, I believe.  They have yummy Big Mouth burger.  Two patties..lotsa mushrooms...yum.  I can't finish one unless that was my meal for the entire day.  You'll like it, Russ. :)

  My weekend was really nice.  Celebrated two birthdays at the same time.  Got together with family.  My g/f invited me to this b-day house party but I declined.  They went to Balbatzaar(sp?) afterwards and she got wasted!  Not my kind of party...

  Lise, if you eat the burgers from known pubs/restaurants, those are better.  McPukes always suck in burgers.  I'd never touch anything from McPukes ever again.

BBQ ribs sounds divine!  I'm probably going to make myself some scrabbled eggs or something for dinner and maybe have a can of sardines. :)  Yup, it's time again. ;)

  SD, you never eat when you're hungry.  You eat at scheduled times throughout the day.  It works the same as when you're thirsty.  You drink water throughout the day and if you're super thirsty, it means that you didn't have enough water before.  I heard that if you're dinking because you're thirsty, it means that it's too late.  Uhm, whatever that means.  So, this applies to being hungry.  Uhm, am I making sense?  I'm kinda not thinking straight and don't feel like editing. :P

Here's their online menu Russ.  It's much cheaper than Burger Heaven.  Get the "Big Mouth Burger" for $9.95.  You'll love it there.  My favorite place.  It's also a pub.  The name "Venus Burgers" isn't there.  I can't remember that Pub's name.  It's on a corner street.  ADD:  River's Reach Pub, THAT'S THE NAME!  ;)

We have been busy with all sorts of things. We gave our Friday night dance away (different organizer).  Made our pilgrimage to Argentina for tango. Had lots of fun, but not too many pictures. Now we're starting an other dance on Thursday nights, so lots of dancing (4 nights a week). Spending a lot of time online playing Guildwars, an MMORPG, and NWN 2. There you go. A short account of where we've been for a while.

Just leftover chicken tonight- the BBQ kind from the Safeway deli.
 
 I wish I could watch movies in bed.  I can't.  I get too comfy and fall asleep.  (unfortunately, I also fall asleep on the couch watching movies, so it takes me about 4 days to finish a DVD.  Glad they got rid of late fees at Rogers Video!)

Awww, no need to bring anyone really. We have an all [a href="http://claudiotango.com/lessons/WalkingWithEmbrace"]beginners' class[/a] on Wednesday now.

When I have my hair long, I've never use a blow drier. I don't rub my hair with the towle after wash. I squeeze my hair genttly with the towle, then wrap it up and let it dry. If you have dry hair, you might want to use post-wash stay-on conditioner on your hair only. Wrap it up in a towle after wash, and leave it to dry. I have very oily hair, so I don't use too much conditioner when I have my hair long. Anyway, yeah I was getting a little tired of my hair, so after we went to Argentina, I had it cut short. See my little toon avatar? It's about that length.

WOW! Hello Jing Jing!!!!

Now thats a name I remember from DV, and Kinnard too.

  Well, it was another interesting time at the Metrotown centre tongiht. Shopping. Yaargh!

I at least got to chapters and picked up a few more Ian Rankin books. And a Starbucks coffee of course LOL. Wow, been a while since I bought books obviously.. 5 books were like 65 bucks!!

  Hey PL, that movie RV was pretty good, I agree! It was funny cause when Robin Williams got the part for the movie, they thought they would ahve to teach him how to drive an RV, so they booked him into a training course. The day he was to start he drove up in an RV.. they cancelled his lessons right away. He apparently has a fleet of RV's and travels in them alot, and drives his own around from set to set, lol.

Hello miss pc!!

  Evening was good.. it was ok other that the crazy metro shoppers. I did get some books! yay!

  Thats too bad about your job.. but Im sure things happen for a reason, and if you are not happy where you are, and are getting taken advantage of.. is it really worth it?

  My mother had something like that happen to her at her last job. She was completely upset and always stressed.. so finally got mad and quit. She got a new job through a friend and is really happy now, and friendlier to talk to, lol. She also has made alot of friends through her work and does dinners out with them now.

  Dont worry, it'll all turn out.

And so it came to pass that the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, the Unspeakable One which deceiveth the whole world: He was cast out into the earth, and his sevants were cast out with him. Yet He slumbers still within the umbral realm below, waiting for His time. In the inky blackness of His tomb, He stirs as He hears His name called, and hungers for the warm, living flesh of humanity.

you mean partying?
I dunno, this is sort of like a long time coming so to speak.  The party will be everyone just doing one giant sigh. lol

We'll probably party after I get into a university because then life won't be as foggy.  I'll know where I'm going for example.  Right now its more of running in the dark.

Well, if I were you, I'll try to take a break or at least just relax..... afterall, you deserve that after working so hard, right? All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

  We'd hit the night clubs or each other's house when we were in highschool. Usually after the finals. So bad now that I think about it. Yikes. Hope Lise Jr. doesn't learn about this.

  Oh yeah, I forgot that the age limit is stricter in the USA than in Australia. In Australia, you can usually enter the clubs around 16 years old but I'm not sure if the law has changed.

  At any rate, you should at least go out and relax a bit. Maybe go away for a day or two, just to un-wind a bit. I know I would do it if I was in your shoes.[/DIV]

Yeah if I need to relax I have the farm to go to.  Just drive down there and walk in the fields for miles, relax go fishing etc.  

That's my quick vacation place I guess.  I'll probably do that.  If I really wanted an adventure I could go to my uncle's house in kansas city but I'm afraid of what I'd run into their with my cousins and their kids. (//forums/richedit/smileys/6.gif)

 Afternoon Lise and SD!
 
 Lise- you Australian?  
 
 SD-  I couldn't wait to get out of high school, either!  Didn't like the prom (we call it "Grad Night" or "Grad" here in Van) thing, but I went anyways.  Graduation was a weird scene.  I remember feeling sentimental about leaving school (even though I was dying to leave) and hugging people, and having people that I never hung out with crying on my shoulder.  Strange times.

Hey Margret.  :)  'bless your lovely presence'

  I just called my school (thanks for the idea, Lil Me) and told me that nobody from the Graduation class has come forward to organize it.  I didn't know that someone from the Grad class has to organize it.  I thought that it was an automatic thing.  That's going to be wayyyy too much work to organize it if I was going to do it solo.

Universities of Earthly knowledge have their place, truly, but wisdom comes with age and through wisdom is a house built; and yea, by understanding it is established; and so by knowledge shall every room be filled with precious and pleasant riches.

  Yet also never forget that In much wisdom is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. Only in the end, when your eyes have opened does the sorrow wane as we surpass Earthly wisdom and behold our ultimate place in the natural universal order.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 06 07 03:14
I helped to organize mine (with a group of totally diverse other people) and it wasn't too bad. If I remember correctly, the school donated the room (free), we sold admission tickets to cover the cost of appies, cups, ice, etc.  Sold drink tickets (cheap) and I think we made a bit of $$- think we donated it back to the school or the current grad class.  Something like that.
 
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 06 07 03:16
Hmm, that sounds interesting.  I would've enjoyed organizing this if there were other people I knew who wouldn't mind doing it as well, but I've lost touch with everyone.  Ah well, hopefully another group will organize one for this year.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 06 07 03:18
Sounds like a plan.  I wouldn't jump into organizing anything big by myself, either.  If anything, I'd hunt down a small group of people that I wanted to see, and have a quiet gathering with them.

Heya purelife,

  Just wanted to let you know we finally bought a GF grill at Superstore for $50.00. Cheapest price I've seen anywhere. It comes with those bun warmers. It's not too big but I think it can handle at least two pieces of meat. Will be doing grilled steak tomorrow hopefully.

Heya Ms. Lise.  50 bucks!  That's pretty good.  Tell me how it works and how quickly the steak cooks and how it tasted, plesae. :)  I might invest in one of those.  Was it on sale or clearance?  I'll have to visit Superstore to check out the size and such.  Thanks.  Bless.

Not too bad, purelife. We had vegetarian tonight. Vegetarian gyoza and toful with cauliflower. Potato soup on the side.

  What about you? How was your dinner? Not sardines again, I hope? Which remind me, we were shopping at Superstore and hubby reached out to grab a couple cans of salmon. Two stuck together and when he pushed them apart, they had moulds growing between them. Gross.

No way, purelife. I had assumed you had a sardine fetish and nothing more. *innocent wink*

  Phad Thai is so yummy. I miss Phad Thai.... especially from Thai House. Yummy. I tried making it using one of those kits you buy (comes in a packet with noodles and sauce) and that was a disaster. Horrible. Don't try it.

I'm going to start a test here in a little while shouldn't take more then a half hour.  Then do the final tomorrow and start on one of the 5 essays.

Depends on how quickly I do these essays.  I orginally planned to finish friday.  While its still possible I could finish Friday, Sunday is the safer bet.

You get stress if you have quite a number of stocks out there. I own a couple but they're all very safe ones which means I don't get a high return but at least I don't lose out on a lot. My hubby on the other hand is a moderate to high risk taker.... I wish he wouldn't. *sigh*

Speaking of chinese food.  One of my mom's students family runs a chinese place and apparently he practically lives in the restaurant (poor kid, he's and esl kid and comes to class doing karate moves sometimes lol)  Anyway he gave my mom a bunch of crab ragoon that his parent's made.  yummy.  I had that for dinner.

One of these days we'll drop by the place and eat there.  The boy gave us a menu (like I said the restaurant is where he spends most of his time at).  My mom hopes she gets him again next year in second grade.

It's an ugly city but if you like to gamble then you will have fun. The odds are better than you'd find somewhere like Tahoe (so I've heard). If you don't like to gamble then don't bother with Reno. I don't really enjoy gambling so the place is sort of depressing to me, but not nearly as bad as Vegas. Ugggg.

 ah okay.  Well its called The Little Biggest City in the World.  Its like Las Vegas (lots of casinos) its a half hour from Lake Tahoe.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 07 07 11:35
Yeah Reno is for the Hardcore gambler.  While Vegas has shows and a neat strip to walk at night.  Reno is just casinos and then if you wanted to get away there is Lake Tahoe.


Watch Reno 911 lol.

I remember that one too Lil Me.. its not the best food, but its actually not that bad. You cant expect gourmet. But they had perogies, cabage rolls, fish, noodles, ham and roast beef they will slice for you, then they had slow roasted and deep friend chicken. They also have salad stuffs. Then deserts and ice creams.

  Hey PL, whats the name of the all you can eat hot pot that you were talking about? We were discussing going to a place like that. We know of a wicked korean bbq place near joyce and kingsway. Not all you can eat though, lol.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 07 07 11:45
yeah I agree. I'm not a big fan of Vegas, I've seen what gambling can do to people.
Out of the southwest my favourite city is Denver.

Pacific Northwest: Seattle
West Coast: San Fransisco
Southwest: Denver
Texas: Austin
South: Miami
Midwest: Chicago
New England: Boston
Northeast: New York
Mid-Atlantic: Washington D.C.

Those are about the best cities in the country region wise.  Never been to Austin or SF but I'm not a fan of LA.

 Okanagan valley is where to have a good time.. kelowna, penticton, peachland. Lots of places to camp and lots of things to do. Penticton has a cool river to tube down, bring lotsa beer. Im heading up there for a while when I get back.. have a few friends with places up there now, they got tired of van and moved up there.

  I alos did a trip a little while ago down to oregon on the coast.. lots of places to go surfing and motels right by are cheap cheap. beer is cheap and theres sand dunes a hour away that you can rent quads or dune buggies, lots o fun.

  Road tripping is the bestest. Flying sucks :(

Hey tenkani,

  Glad to hear you had a massive sub sandwich for lunch.

  We had a noodle dish with salty chicken and soup on the side. After eating, I cleaned up Lise Jr. and asked her if she was full like 10 times. She said she was. Five minutes later as we were walking to the car lot, she complained she's still hungry. Kids. *sigh*

Dunno about that, tenk but if there's one thing I've learnt about kids is patience. It's incredible how much patience you have to have when it comes to kids. You have to deal with them (even though you feel like screaming your head off) otherwise you'll have a world war 3 on your hand.

I agree about patience and talking to them at their level.  I've seen so many parents, when they are mad at their children, shout from across the room, but the kid doesn't stop.  I prefer the method of being right in front of them, kneeling down to their level and talk to them.  Kids are smart and can pick up on your vibe.  I believe in always trying to maintain "calmness."  If the parent is frazzled, the kid will be as well.  

  Ok I've watched too many episodes of SUPER NANNY! ;)

Insanely busy day SD.  Thank god I'm off early.

  The only drawback on raising children, is that you never really know for certain that you did it right until they show you ......by being responsible, loving, well adjusted adults.  Only then do we know we succeeded.

Hi PC.

  True.  Totally agree.  We'd never know until they come up to mommy and daddy and give thanks to how they were raised.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 07 07 02:49
 Well I disagree.  My parents really never taught me anything I just followed their example. By late teenage years I can tell who'd be a good parent just by looking around.  But then again I've got good example's within my family.  For example my family is the only one that is still together.  We sorta take that as pride.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Mar 07 07 02:54
I'm not sure what you disagree with SD.

I think only when you see your children as adults and how they handle their relationships and whether they treat others with compassion and caring.....do you really know for sure that you've done something right.  I suppose you can see it when they are younger, but the stresses of adult life can change some people.  Those that have had a good foundation will make the transition nicely.

 Uhm, isn't that contradicting yourself?  If they never taught you anything, you wouldn't be able to follow their example.  You learned from watching their behavoirs.  To me, they have taught you how they are as parents.  You would have to be under foster care to say that they never taught you anything because parents do teach by the behaviors they set forth to their children, consciously or sub-consciously.  

 Ok, do tell me if I'm not making sense and if I sound confusing.

Well I mean I guess I was thinking of what I see on tv with those tv ads that say "talk to your kids about drugs blah blah blah"

These ads on tv that they show, I believe those are unrealistic or that's not how I grew up. My parents never talked to me about those things.  I just concluded on my own that this was bad or something like that.

I think I'm confusing people.  My parents taught me things but I think it was more passive then direct.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Mar 07 07 03:19
You're making perfect sense purelife.  Moms and Dads teach more to their children by how they treat each other than what they actually teach the child.  You can treat them perfectly and lovingly ....but if you are at each others throats, you are showing them what relationships are supposed to be like.  

  So if you're scratching your head trying to figure out why princess grew up to marry a verbally abusive man when you in fact showed her nothing but love.....she learned it from what you showed her about relationships.  The best thing parents can teach their kids is by being loving and kind to each other.....they won't expect anything less from their partner when the time comes.        
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Hey purelife and Lil Me.

  How's it going? I just made my steaks. Delicious. George Forman grill was a blast! Easy easy to make, fast and I don't know why I've never bought it in the first place.

  I would invest in it. The only thing I didn't like about it that it was a bit difficult to clean (cannot remove the grill) and that it left no grill marks despite the pictures on the box.

  Definite win-win for me. I love it.

Oh, and I did have a can of sardines.  :)
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Mar 07 07 07:23
 I usually like my steaks a bit medium but I don't want to see blood. Just enough pinkness. With the George Forman, you have to watch your steaks like a hawk because the heat goes through very quickly on both sides. If you're not careful, your steaks cooks rather quickly.

  I marinated my steaks in teriyaki sauce a few hours before. It taste just fine.

  What about you girls? How do you make your steaks?

Oh, hey Lise.  I brought that Western Family lasagna and I have to say that it's yummy.  Thanks for the recomendation.  Oh darn, and I forgot to check out the coffee beans for PC.  Drat!  I knew that I had to do something... AARGH!

Do you guys like the sui mai? I miss those. Man, do I really miss those. *sigh*

Have you tried the T&amp;T ones yet?  I haven't but will one day soon.  I like their goyza.  Yum.

Yeah, the WF brand isn't bad especially for the lasagne, purelife. If I'm super lazy and I'm having people over I get the bigger brand. Serve that with salad. Easy.

Yes, I've tried the dim sum at T&amp;T. Teh gross. But cheap. $2.50 for four is cheap but you pay for what you get.

Pink Pearl. I've been there once. Never again. Parking was hell but it's very popular.

  Oh hey, do you guys get charged for 'tea' or 'seating'? I can't believe I got charged for sitting my two year old at Big Lai.

Baked fish is yummy. I love baked fish, especially salmon. Sprinkle that with Japanese bread crumbs and they come out tasty!!

I've heard about baking salmon with yoghurt and wrapping it in tin foil.  I can't remember how it goes.

Oh, have you ever poached fish?  I was going to try it but wasn't too familiar with the procedure.  It tastes good though..kinda different.

My grandma poaches fish. Tastes really really really rubbery and dry.

Post by: Lise on Mar 07 07 07:55
I'm not sure, purelife, but most dim sum places are doing that. Check your bill next time. I never noticed it until my friend pointed it out to me.

  Plain fish? No pepper or salt?

 My dim sum scary story was with chicken feet. I havent braved dim sum since that time.. its a mental block at this point

  I missed too many pages waah! I was going to say teriyaki on the steaks for at least three hours, and when I do them on the large GF, I use a meat tenderizer. I also overbuy on things like steaks and chicken and when I let the stuff Im cooking soak for three hours, I do the extra as well. When Im done I throw the extra into ziplocks and throw into the freezer, next time pull them out about miday and close to din din just cook your premarinated stuff.

  I honestly just throw my GF into the sink and wash it lise. Then I rinse the whole thing in fresh water and let it sit and soak dry completely. I dont use green scubbies or metal ones as it will take you non stick off.. just use one of those plastic bristle scrubbie hand thingys you can buy at stupidstore for like 3 bucks. I been doing this on my GF for over a year now. I have the big one with bun warmer as well... Mine was over 120 when I bought it years ago though.

  I started timing how long it took to cook either thawed or frozen meats so I know how long to leave it on for.

    Well, it was a cabbage roll night... we are all still feeling the effects from Uncle willys from last night still, lol!

I do salmon in the BBQ. lotsa ways to do it. One way I like is to put foil down on the grill, then thin slices of limes and lemons, after that the skin then the salmon, on the top put brown sugar, thyme, and... tzatziki (sp?) sauce. takes about 15 minutes on onethird heat.

 Hey Russ. Nice to hear from you, dude.

  I use those plastic scrub thingess that came with the GF. It works well to scrap off the stuff but thanks for the hint.  And I so love it when you say bun warmer..... it's almost orgasmic.

DS is overstimulating you then.  Need to go to your happy place...think happy thoughts  Actually...I heard of a good trick to try...I tried it myself and it seems to work..  Lay down.  Close your eyes.   Focus on your body....then...start from the bottom...feet...ankles..calves...and mentally relax them..move up...relaxing your muscles as you go...all the way up to your jaws...and forehead...can't say that it will work for you but I have tried it and it helped me.

  Sounds fabulous purelife and Lise.  But I think there is a pretty full itinerary already.  I'll double check and see if there is some time to spare, but 3 days isn't a lot of time.  I'd be on the black list if I didn't squeak out what leftover time there is to see some family.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 08 07 10:01
No worries then PC.  We'll meet up when you're free and up in Van again. :)

  I brought this box of cous cous from Superstore.  I think that it was in the Asian aisles.  It was a green box by the Indian foods.  I don't remember the directions.  But all you had to do was have boiling water and put cous cous in then turn off heat (immediately) and then those lil suckers suck up the water and grow.  The directions from box were simple  I think that you'd like it.  There isn't much taste to it so I would add some spices to your cous cous and fresh chooped cilantro or parsley, salt/pepper to taste or something.  It's cheap.  :)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Mar 08 07 10:03
Wow. Sounds easy enough. I think I had couscous before at the Afghan Horseman and that was the first and only time. If it is that easy, I think I'll make it and serve it as a side dish. Thanks, purelife.

SD knows about it.  I still don't know what it is.  Is it like [A href="http://www.gradfinder.com"]www.gradfinder.com[/A]?  A place to put your name so that graduating class can contact you?

  There's one person I've been looking for but can't locate her anywhere.

No. I'm on facebook.  Its how I keep in contact with people who have moved away.  For example that's how I keep in contact with my friend from the UK.

Facebook is a social networking site.  Its free, it used to be just for college kids but now anyone can join.  Its not like Myspace where everyone can see your profile.  You basically control who you want to see things and who you don't want to.  You can post photo albums up and you can make only certain people see the photos for example.

I like it.

 Morning everyone!  I ate a chicken donair with lots of hot sauce.  And an apple.
 
 Should try making couscous again.  I stopped because the kids were getting it all over the floor.
 
 Totally Offtopic: We have an old Richard Scarry book from the 1970s called Going Places.  One of the characters is Couscous the Algerian Detective.  The whole book is full of old racial/cultural stereotypes.  For instance, there is a dog from Hong Kong named Ah Choo who wears really thick glasses and sneezes a lot.

Busy day but I had to drop in to say hello to my buddies and secret lovers (you know who you are).

Happy Lunch!!!

Pinoy chicken mami and some cool ranch chips.

Had a great walk in the woods with my friend, checking out old abandoned army training spots and collapsed latrines and whatnot.

Anyone have good walking spots near their work (or homes if you don't have a 9-5)?

Uh, not that Im an E-stalker that memorizes and categorizes everything said on here.. but he's admitted he has a Filipina' GF.

  I had quizno's for lunch.. and you dont want to know about my phone. It wasnt in my truck. So I called it like ten times then figured it must be in the Grand Cherokee which isnt here right now.

  Half an hour later I see the house phone ring from my phone... wtf? Pick it up and its a girl from XS cargo in ditchmond.. oh yeah, I went there to buy a shovel (for 5 bucks only!!!!) and she has it at the register. I left it there on the counter.. lol. At least there are still honest people in this world. She mentioned she though I was a girl that had left it cause I had that chicken pooh bear dangly thing on it.

  Whats the consensus for this? I mean yeah good Karma.. but 20 bucks good enough as a reward?

kick boxing awesome!

My new neighbourhood is one giant circle on a hill. So that's my walking spot.  And in front of the house there is this common ground area before you get to the highway and I take the dog and do sprints and stuff there.

I have a plan so cunning you could shave your beard with it!

  PL, I will introduce you to my filipina girlfriend (who doesn't know it yet).

You will then seduce her with your womanly charms.

Then you can convince her that I'm cool and whatnot.

Then (and this is key) you give her back to me!

  Walking spots around my area. What? As in mall-style? Hehe. Nope. Not much walking spots where I live which is a pity. I would prefer the peace and quiet of woody areas. I do my power walks in the mall.

Awww. Now I understand, Russ. Well... it seems kinda impersonal. How about a bunch of flowers and a thank-you card instead? Just my two cents.

  Yes, I realized that Tagalong and Spanish have many words in common. Wasn't the Phillipines a part of the Spainard colony a long time ago? They have a lot of delicious food that is influenced from Spain, like their own version of paella. Yum.

 Yes, that's what it does.  The oven incinerates the grease and you're left with fine ashes.  Wipe the oven surfaces with a damp sponge and you're done!  (way better than using the Easy Off chemical oven cleaner- that stuff stinks way worse, and it makes all your food taste like oven cleaner!)

  What a night! Spent the entire evening watching Rear Window again with hubby. Excellent movie. We're all Hitchcock fans right now. For reasons unknown to me, I think James Stewart is downright sexxxxy. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Morning Lise.

  I've never seen that movie.  What's it about?

  Are you planning to watch 300?  We're thinking of watching it tonight but when I read the reviews, it mentioned that scenes were just fill of slitting and blood.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Mar 09 07 09:30
Rear Window is about a photographer (Stewart) who's confined to a wheelchair due to a broken leg. As he has all the time in the world, he becomes a peeping tom so he watches from his apartment into his neighbors' lives. Trouble is, one of them starts to behave rather suspciously and before you know it, he starting to smell murder.

  Definitely go watch this one. I borrowed it from the Burnaby Library so it's free.

  Yes, going to watch 300. Possibly this weekend but am not sure which days. I'm going to watch it with a bunch of friends. It's graphic.... pretty violent. If you've seen Sin City, it's kinda like that. If you're not a fan of Frank Miller's work, chances are you won't enjoy it.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

There's an older version of the movie called 300 Spartans which tells the story of 300 Spartan warriors going against over a million Assyrian (???) warriors. I won't tell you how it ends but the movie's basically the same, about a handful of warrior who stood against the odds. I love movies like these.

  Plus I wouldn't want to miss out on a chance at oggling men in skippy loincloths. (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/frech/a040.gif)

Plans for the weekends anyone?

  Hi Russ, Gopher and SD.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Gopher on Mar 09 07 11:14
No plans at all, just going to let it happen (and avoid a couple of people who are insisting that they want to be bosom friends with me).

No plans except to finish my class and graduate.  Finished the last test last night.  All that's left is 5 essays.

Yes, and also insiting that I go here, there and everywhere with them - and when they're not throwing friendship at me, they're 'advising'.

Ah.. I have a few aquantances that like to 'advise' on my devious ways, and tell me' oh! you MUST call me when you do this...' Yeah right.

  I feel for you..

  Do you have a HIGHLY religious lady though that is now widowed a few doors over.. and likes to tell you that you are following the way of the devil? Then wont tell you why?

They are fun, trust me.

 i hate overitly religious people who have to proclaim their divine love toward their god every minute.  Seriously when I was religious I didn't go around saying "I believe in Jesus Christ blah blah blah and you're going to hell because you believe in the devil".

Nobody else that believes in another religion I know wants to stuff it down my throat any chance they get.  When I grew up with my group of friends that had muslims, jews, hindus, buddhists.  We all never talked about religion.  Yet the one evangelical friend I had (key word had) would make it be known that he was 'saved'.

Please, why do people feel the need to do that? I'm not religious anymore but I will go to bat for anyone who is religious because it is their right if they want to do so.  But I hate it when people proclaim that they're better then other people.

okay deep breath, end of rant. lol

Well, lol, shes not the 'next door' neighbor thank heaven but a few doors over.

  I honestly kinda like her, old and living on her own.. and sticking to her beliefs. Its fun to smile and wave to her, you see her scowl and start talking to herself.

  I have helped her with some things and she is thankful.. then tells you she's going to pray for you. I think she's not all there to be honest but at least she's still doing her thing.

Praying for you sounds nice.  I wonder what she prays for?  

  I pray but do it in a different sense.  I don't put my hands together and start chanting.  I pray by thinking to self, for my friends and family and issues around my life.  I think about positive things and ask for answers.  Do you guys do something similiar?  Has it worked?  (meaning what you ask for comes true?)

LOL @ gopher! No.. she doenst have alot of technology... and I wouldnt inflict her on anyone. She's harmless really, and I do feel sorry for her. But at least she keeps herself busy with her sermons.

  My grandmother gets quite worked up as well, I have to work to keep her under control and distract her when she gets mad about something.. shes 94 and Im afraid she's going to work herself into a coniption, lol.

She's getting hard of hearing and its quite comical really.

 Yes, I don't know if it brings any results in an objective sense, but from a subjective point of view you feel it's done some good - and from that feeling alone, it probably has.

 well Habitants mean people in french.  Upper Canada was french.  So instead of calling them Upper Canada people just called them habitants.

If you look at the NHL teams from Canada in the NHL.
Vancouver Canucks- 'canuck' is a slang word for Canadian
Montreal Canadiens- is the french word of Canadian.  Nickname: Habs which is from Habitant which is french for persons/people.

interesting. lol

Afternoonie, all. purelife,  hope you're having a good day.

  I kinda feel happy and kinda feel sad. I haven't shopped for myself for two years. Isn't that sad? No new clothes, not even a maternity wear apart from one pants (either that or I would have to wear hubby's).... so today I decided I should update my wardrobe. Went to the Bay, finally bought a pair of jeans, a blouse and a jacket.  Then a lipstick with a gloss...... altogether $200.

  I'm suffering from empty wallet now.... but my husband said to go for it seeing as I've not bought a thing for myself in the last two years and what I have, my parents or sisters got for me.

  It feels good to get something that fits for a change. I just realized that I'm a size down from what I used to be. It's nice to be able to fit into a size 8 jeans. WOOHOO!!!

 You definitely deserve to buy things for yourself.  2 years is certainly a long time going without buying any goodies for yourself. :)  We always seem to buy things that we need but neglect to treat ourselves to what we might want.   :)  Once in a while is good and the feeling is wonderful. :)

 Its splurge day Lise.  You deserve it.  

I'm the same way, and I haven't really done anything weekend wise in months, So tonight is a good diversion for me.

Just like your new clothes Lise. You've worked hard, you need to spoil yourself every now and again.

Oh no, don't return anything.  :)  Unless you think that the makeup isn't worth what you spend or you don't think that you're going to use it.  It's nice to look pretty and have some makeup on.  What kind did you buy?
 I say keep it... Purelife orders you to.  ;)

Definitely spoil yourself for losing one size down.  That's something worth celebrating.

I've never watch a hockey game in person. I should. Just to see what it's like but I don't get the game.... and tickets are not cheap.

  Thanks, SD. It feels nice to spoil oneself. I should do it more often. *contemplating robbing hubby's wallet.....*

  I bought MAC. I think I like this brand. Feels hippier and sexier. I love the glossiness of the lipstick on one's lips. I think I might go back and get some lessons on how to apply eyeshadow onto one's eyelids.

Hmmm, MAC.  Definitely keep it then.  I have never brought anything at MAC...probably because it's just too expensive for me. :(  
 
 I found this super cool lip gloss (tinted with some color and vanilla scented) from Save On Foods for 7 bucks.  It's the Terra Gloss brand.  They only sell it at Save Ons. :)  My fav and I'm a lip gloss freak.

I made chicken wraps tonight. Onions, garlic, red and green peppers, and chicken cooked in an onion dressing sauce. Put in wraps with cheese and brown rice. It was good.

  That Greek food sounds better though P.C., umm..maybe save me some??

Hi Devil....purelife............  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a194.gif" border=0]

  Greek potatoes are......quartered potatoes roasted in olive oil, lemon juice and lemon zest, chicken broth, garlic, oregano, paprika and salt and pepper.

  The souvlaki is lamb and tzatziki and veggies.

  Those chicken wraps sound pretty derned good Devil......and of course I'll save you some souvlaki for....erm...... dessert?   [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a025.gif" border=0]

I like cheese too.  I'm on this assiago cheese kick right now.  It makes superb cheese sauce.....hubby loves it.  We've hardly bothered with cheddar the last month or two. (mind you, there are still recipes where nothing but cheddar will go.

Woo hoo.  Just got back from the Hockey game and wow what a game what great seats! I was seven rows from the ice SEVEN ROWS! I saw everything, lol.  You could even see the blood on the players faces from the Blues.  My team won of course much to the dismay of the sold out crowd.  What a difference winning and a couple of months make.  Last game I went to the place wasn't even half full.  It was like watching a game in a cave.

Every seat was taken tonight. It rocked.
Almost won a round trip flight.  They had a promotion where you take this boarding pass and if the destination is called you get to go there.  Well of course I see a YVR (Vancouver) pass so I take it.  But my friend was like "Look Ontario, Toronto"  I went nah, not a fan of TO, reminds me too much of New York.  And sure enough guess what gets called over the jumbo tron TORONTO lol.  I wouldn't have known what to do their anyway.  Most likely would have seen a baseball game and then taken the train to Montreal or Ottawa lol.

The other destination was Shaghai.  Now why would I want to go to China?
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Mar 10 07 11:14
Evening everyone!

  Thats insanely cheap SD. We were in the nosebleeds, like three rows from the top and it was 80 bucks a ticket face value. thats on the second tier, 8 bucks a beer, and the games've been sold out here for years now.

The last time I went to a game in the lower bowl, we were ten rows from quarter ice and it was 260 a person. We were in the club seats though so it was pretty good.. service with a smile, lol.

  Chinas pretty good SD, I would actually say go there again... We are planning to go there this year sometime.

  Keep it LISE!! Do it girl!

  We had dinner with Helens relatives and family at one of their houses.. we ended up pulling out some board games and playing later. I finally say Tralladeaga nights (sp?), I laughed my arse off at alot of the stereotypes. Dont ask me what we had cause I dont think Im too sure.. it was all really good except for those fish balls.. they taste, um, fishy.

 Just got home from a family dinner in Richmond.  *yawn* going to bed soon.  Hubby asked me on the way home why Chinese banquet food is always the same.  *shrug* because it is.  He's been to China and eaten REALLY good food there- like saffron and curry dusted fish, leaving your mouth with a happy/tingly feeling.

Yeah the seats really were 100 bucks but for some reason they gave me 42 bucks for them.  But I spent like 50 bucks on food.


Sounds like everyone had a great Saturday Night.  I'm glad I finally had some fun.

Good morning!

Sports, Toronto is a decent place to visit. It is compared with New York, only because it is Canada's biggest city. But really, Toronto is just Toronto. It has its own feel to it. Good to visit, I wouldn't want to live there. Hey, the Hockey Hall of Fame is there, LOL!

  Yes, watching NHL on American channels is not an easy thing to see. It would be like CTV broadcasting NFL....just doesn't fit.

Maybe if the American channels would just call it 'hockey' and not 'ice hockey'...arrrgh! LOL!

  Sounds like a fun night was had. Flames lost in OT. Oh well, they will still sneak into the playoffs. Hopefully Van doesn't choke again...like every year...choking...and choking...and choking...

  HAPPY SUNDAY (even if we lose 1 hour). It is supposed to be up to 17 to 18 degrees C. here (Calgary) today.

What is everyone's plan for dinner?
 
 I fried up some chicken in paprika, ginger and garlic.  Now, I have it in the oven, slow cooking.  I hope that the pan that I have is oven proof.  It's a heavy duty metal one (not cast iron)  So far, looks safe in the oven. :)
 
 Then, probably going to steam some brocolli with ginger.  Going for something plain tonight.

Sounds pretty delicious for a 'plain' meal.  I can smell it from here......mmmmmm

  Mr. P.C. is cooking for me AGAIN tonight. (I'm so spoiled)

Roast beef.....and I don't know what else yet.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 11 07 05:34
I'm having steak.

I love the rain. I'd build an outdoor enclosed screen room and I'd sit and listen to the rain all day.  Calming.  When I'm at my grandma's house in Florida I do the same and listen to the rain hit the tin roof and feel the breezes of the rain.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I have to admit.....I love that sound too.  It's very soothing or comforting for some reason.  I think it has to do with cheating the elements.  There you are....all snug and cozy...and it's raining cats and dogs outside.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 11 07 05:42
You are definitely spoiled PC.  Hubby cooking for you is certainly wonderful. :)  
 
 Roast beef sure does sound yummy.... Maybe you're having salad?
 
 
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 11 07 05:44
Are you having anything else with your steak, SD?  
 
 Yeah, the sound of rain coming down is really nice.  I also enjoy the sound of thunder and lightening.  I wish that we'd have it here more often. :(

Hi Sawdust! Devil be thy name!

 (psst, I am not really an evil dark lord, I just play one on DS).

  It was an sunny and eerily warm day here today. It got up to 18. I say eerily because, that just is not natural weather for here in Calgary on March 11. But as you know, we'll get a blast of winter in May or something?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sawdust on Mar 11 07 06:41
Hello Beelzebub, sorry, Devil. I was reading your post about the hockey games yesterday. Bummer about the flames last night, I still have a soft spot for them even though I am now a 'nucks fan. I was at the first game the Flames played, a 1-1 tie with the Quebec Nordiques. What a time it was before the Saddle Dome was built, standing room was only 17 rows up, it was electric.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Mar 11 07 06:46
COOL!

My gf is probably one of the biggest Flame freaks I know. She gets a little excited. It works out good for me when they win, so I cheer them on! *wink wink*!

  That sounds cool. That was at the Corral right?

  We are not just '04 and after bandwagoners (like 90% of this city), we have always tried to support them through the crappy years too.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 11 07 06:47
 My first hockey game I went to was when I was in grade 4.  Flames came to Saint Louis and my boy scout troop all got tickets.

Then my second game was in October when the Canucks came to town.

And then last night when the Canadiens came.

unbelievable how fast they skate. crazy.  If only the seats I had were always 42 bucks I'd be in those seats for every game.  Can't wait to move to a town with a good minor league team. I'd be at every single game.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 11 07 06:54
Cool, thanks D.

Yeah Everett would be too far of a drive from the university in Tacoma.

Thunderbirds are moving to Kent so that would be a lot closer and would mean I wouldn't have to drive to Seattle.

Post by: Sawdust on Mar 11 07 06:56
Hi Sportsdude, yeah, you don't get a feel for their size or speed ( espescially the goalies ) until you're there live. The old Corral was incredible. You couldn't buy a ticket even if you mortgaged you first born. One of our customers was with a service group that had the program rights, so all we had to do was sell programs for an hour before game time and we were in.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Mar 11 07 06:58

Well, have a great evening. I am going into my basement to go sweat some weekend off of me and do a workout.

Then bed! I love bed!

  Good evening all!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sawdust on Mar 11 07 07:00
Might be worth the drive, the Silvertips are, or were, the #1 ranked team in the entire CHL. Junior hockey is great, they give everything every night hoping to get drafted.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 11 07 07:09

Ive often wondered when Ive gone by there.

It was good.  The Louisiana burger was steeped in hot sauce.  The fries kinda suck (sorta like White Spot fries).
 
 We stopped there because we were in MR to take my oldest kid to a bday party.  Mr Lil Me had the pancakes (3 gigantic pancakes in an order) and my youngest kid had a grilled cheese.
 
 Looks like a local crowd of "regulars" in there.  It's worth a visit.  I think there's a 2 for 1 coupon in the Entertainment Book.

It's just that when I sleep too much I can sleep 12+ hours at a time (I think my record was 17 or 18 hours), so hearing that you slept for 9 hours and feel like it was way too long is surprising. But then you're not a bum like me     :)

Moussaka

[img height=187 src="http://www.sebastians-taverna.gr/Menu%20images/moussaka1.jpg" width=221]

It's an eggplant dish (is teh main ingredient) prepared with sautéed and fried eggplants, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, and minced meat (lamb and/or beef).  It's kinda like a lasagna but with eggplant and no layers. :)

I LOVE eggplant!!

I will have to see if my local place makes that.

They have a pretty simple menu though, mostly it's all about teh gyros!     :)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 12 07 03:38
Me too. I don't often buy eggplant because no one in my household likes this stuff when it's all mushy.  I'll have to grill them or BBQ them when I have a griller and BBQ'er.

  You'll like moussaka then.  Lotsa mushy eggplant...so mushy that it melts in your mouth and not in your hands. ;)

Eggplant is a BEAST to cook right!

That's why when I find a new restaurant I like to order an eggplant dish.

If they ace it I know teh cooks got skillz.

  10 minutes!!! W00h0000!!

Hey Sportsdude, didn't mean to bug out on you last night, BC Hydro, with a little help from the wind took care of that. The Clippers are doing ok, but in terms of junior hockey they are in a lower tier. They are in the BC junior hockey League as opposed to the WHL. That doesn't mean it's not good hockey to watch, just that their players are usually not on the NHL scouts radar.

BCHL players may graduate to the the Western Hockey League. When I grew up in Ontario it was called Major Junior Hockey (WHL, OHL, QHL) The Giants as part of that group are usaully filled with players that have been or may be drafted by an NHL team. Both the Salmon King and Manitoba Moose are professional teams that pay their players and are usually under a 2 way contract with their parent NHL team.

Home made beer here! Smirnoff Ice I usually buy a case when Im doing a drinking weekend. After a while you tend to feel bloated or hungover and burnt.. Have a few of smirnoff's to get the level going again and switch back the the barley pops.

  Dinner was at teh neighbors tonight. We almost didnt make it as we were changing the transmission in my toyota again, and lost track of time. We werent sure as the last one was making sounds and wanted to put in a stronger one.. but when we took this one out it was obvious I had grenaded it, lol. Surprised it still worked. Ah well, this one is built bullet proof so it should be ok now.

Yeah Pitbull. I do a fair bit of offroading. Lots of camping which is why I built the truck in the first place.

  I keep morphing it, and have rebuilt it three times. I rolled the first one and rebuilt it with anotehr rollover. Then I did some dumb stuff and had to put another cab on again. Im on the third engine.. I put an engine from a toyota supra sports car in it.. thats why I seem to be blowing up tranny's. I have axles from a one ton ford to go in as well soon, as well as ARB air lockers and new differential gearsets.

  I did a kindve tally as to how much Ive thrown at it.. coulda been well on my way to owning a house by now. lol.

Afternoon. Brr. Cold. You're right about the rain, Lil Me. It just won't go away. *sigh*

  Lunch today is sald topped with various beans. Icky. Watch me get hungry within an hour or so. I can't understand how some ppl can eat a salad and not feel hungry later. Decided on a salad today so I can finish the wilted salad leaves in my fridge. No one wants to touch anything green in this house. I don't know why I buy them.......

  Bimbibop sounds wonderful. Hmm.... maybe I'll go tomorrow and get one at the Crystal Mall.

Is someone forcing you to eat sardines, Russ?  hee hee..

  Mackeral (from the can) was kinda salty and dry.  If not cooked properly, it can taste extremely dry. I like kipper fillets.  I like mackeral because it's high in omega fat oils or whatever you call them.  (can't remember).

  I brought a bag full of avocadoes.  I love those.  Do you eat a whole one?  Put anything with it?

Afternoonie all. Curry sounds wonderful. Speaking of which, I'm making beef rendang (curry) tonight.

  Kickboxing? Whoa. purelife, you don't need kickboxing lessons, you can karate-chop anyone just by looking at them.

That beef rendang sounds great. -sniff sniff- I can smell it from here!
 
 We'll be having chicken in tomato sauce (crock pot) with pasta (and brown rice!) and steamed veg.

Hey Lil Me. Care to share your tomato chicken crock pot recipe with mua? Sounds delicious.

  purelife. That's why you get a George Forman grill. You can come home and grill just about anything. Easy. I'm so pro Georgie now.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

       SARDINES. But not to worry, at least you can have more than one type of fish can. Did you guys check out the price of canned tuna these days? So cheap and no one is touching them since that latest report on mercury and tuna.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 14 07 02:59
Lise- um...I just sprayed cooking spray on the bottom of the crock pot, heaved in a bunch of skinless/boneless thighs and poured 2 cans of tomato sauce on top.  I'm going to put in some fried onions and veggies later.
 
 Purelife- yeah, a GF grill would be handy.  You could open the can of fish slightly and just pop the whole thing on top.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Wow. No kidding? That easy? Hmmmm..... maybe I'll try that. My husband is a tomato sauce fanatic. Anything in that sauce is his chi. Thanks.

Sardines... *sigh* my last resort if I find nothing.  I'll get a GF grill a wee bit later (if I get a Tax Refund).  Hmm, if I had a GF grill, I would grill veggies and pork tonight.  Oh, that sounds delicious...but darn... :(  tee hee....

  Sardines from a can is very convenient.  I just stand over the sink and eat them.  Yeah, looks and sounds crude but hey, I don't want to wash any more dishes than I have to. :)

Yeah I work from about 1:20am ct time to 4:00am ct time.  But it depends on when I get to work if I get to work around 2am I'll finish at 5.  But I'm pretty good at getting the papers and leaving.  Most of the people there have no life and sit and bag papers and talk for 3hrs.  Then they're shocked at how many routes I do when they do 1 route and it takes them all night. Giant time wasters most of the people that work there are.

Ive been sick REALLY fast starting at like 530 pm. I was feeling a little funny when I was working on my truck but after Starfish showed up we took off for dinner. After eating only half a plate of spagball, I felt quesy... and lightheaded. So I started towards the throne room...

Since then I have upchucked 9 times and 5 bouts of diarhea.. Just start to go to sleep and hmm, whats that feeling.

  The fevers finally gone and Ive been stable for the last 1.5 hours now.. I finally broke down and took a coupla tylenols and immodium, as the headache was reaching epic proportions and nothing new was coming out other than the juice and water I was putting down to rehydrate.

  So yeah.. my night has sucked.. we had to cancel out on a bunch of things we were planning on doing.

  And thats why im now wide awake just posting on DS this late...

Nothing.. like I said I was feeling funny but I was like eh... So all I had before the spagball was a bowl of cheerios. Not even coffee yesterday.

  The day before I was on the Sunshine Coast, we caught the 0930 am to there , ate on the ferry, and then after dropping off the stuff to the guys that bought a couple of engines and stuff off of us we drove all the way to the ferry to powel river. Ate at a friends house over there for lunch, some pastried rolls with sausage in them, and then ate back on this side at neighbors restuarant.. SS and myslef had pizza.

Im drinking LOTS of water believe me, Im so dried out right now its not even funny. Its staying down too which is a bonus Im sure. I had some juice earlier but the cauldron didnt like that. No solids yet.

Starbucks has been trumped in my opinion by this local coffee house, you buy a cup and you can have as much coffee as you want.

Plus they serve awesome food. Jessica Alba did a movie in one of the coffee houses.

Afternoon!
 
 I didn't make it to Starbucks, either.  But I did go to Pho 99- at my youngest kid's behest.  I was feeling a bit under the weather (running at 80%), but I think the steamy, slurpy, face-full of lunch cured me.  Eating all the chiles and lemons on the plate probably helped.
 
 So Russ, if you're reading this- go have some Pho.

2. Short Stories

the research paper is a pain but then again so is the media presentation and short story.

How many birds are on your lawn? Why do they seem to like your lawn?

My guess is that if they're crows, attract other birds (the nice birds) and the crows will go away.  Or have somebody run at the birds, that always does the trick.

take care lise, nope I wouldn't, I could be a nurse, old people and their er 'figure' do not bother me. In the summers I worked with mentally challenged kids who would run around naked and you had to tell them that, that wasn't normal.  And these kids were my age or older and I was 13 at the time.

Volunteered at my local hospital for a year. (had nothing better to do) Saw somethings.

Also known as :2-aminoglutaric acid), commonly known as MSG, Ajinomoto or Vetsin, is a sodium salt of glutamic acid. MSG is a food additive, popularly marketed as a "flavour enhancer".        EDIT:

Allo tenk-san. If you check instant noodles, they're usually loaded with MSG. You can actually buy MSG packaging from the stores. I don't use them as I think you can add flavors using other fresh ingredients like herbs etc. which is "safer" than MSG.

I don't know about the great white north, but here in the states MSG got a bad rep a few decades ago and isn't used much anymore. But if you buy your noodles in an asian market...

I got mine from Trader Joe's  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Mar 16 07 01:53
It's pretty lenient in Asia. A lot of manufacturers use MSG in their products... which is why I'm so leery of it whenever I buy instant noodles. It has gotten a bad rap but it's on the rise as an OK addictive. Better that than consuming beetle juice (food dye) from my yogurt.

   Is MSG safe?

 Yes. MSG is one of the most extensively researched substances in the food supply. Numerous international scientific evaluations have been undertaken over many years, involving hundreds of studies. The United States and other governments worldwide support the safety of MSG as used in foods.

I don't know if you could classify these noodles from trader joe's 'instant'. You don't need water, you take the noodles out of this packet, they're already 'wet'. Then you pour the sauce in close the box and heat it in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Good afternoon everyone.  We went to Costoc's for lunch and brought a few things.  I had the montreal smoked-meat sandwich on ciabatta bread.  OMGYUMYUM!~  Russ was right! :)

  I brought a pack of anklet socks and teriyaki chicken bowls, 5 for $15.  So, guess what I'll be having for lunch for the next 5 days?  ;)

Hi Purelife!  I think the anklet socks will last you longer than 5 days.  Chew the fibres very slowly and you can have lunch for at least 10 days.  And drink lots of water.

Oh wow. That was quick. They took it off. Nevermind, 49er. It was a porn video showing a girl... yeah.... doing something..... with fingers. It's gone now so don't worry. I was just a bit shocked.

I have no idea either. Obviously the video wasn't meant for other people to see, but they fail to realize that everyone CAN see it. You upload anything on that site and anyone can see it.  People think it just is viewable to them I guess.  My generation isn't the smartest bunch either.

 Hey Ms. Pit.  *gently massages your feet*

Afternoon everyone.  We just got a crock pot.  I'm excited because I can make stews and soups and have it cooking overnight and ready for lunches. :)))

Last night was nice.  I always enjoy hanging out with my gal pals whom I don't see quite often. So, my friend told us that we were going to a fashion show and some kind of mingling event.  So, we were at Bar None in Yaletown and this event, which we had to pay cover for, was a SINGLE's event!  We had no idea!  No wonder everyone was so "friendly" with one another.  OMG!  My first single's event.

Then, we went to Doolins for a drink and was done at 11pm.  We were going to go dancing but one of us didn't feel too well.  But, it was fun and nice. :)))

I told my b/f about how we found out that it was a single's event, and he said "Do I have anything to worry about?"  'f course not, hon. ;)

Hi and Happy Saturday!

  Had a fantastic dinner at Banana Leaf last night!  $25 tasting menu was so...tasty.  My friend and I had only 1 drink each...back to her place and watched Chicken Tikka Masala (pretty funny, but not ROTFL) and we were both asleep by 9:30 pm.  That was my wild Friday night.  Must be getting old.

  Purelife's night sounds fun.

  It was nice (but always nicer to get home)  We stayed at the Fairmont Waterfront with a lovely room harbour-side.  I cruised around a little yesterday, but they keep moving things around over there.  I used to know Van like the back of my hand.  (mind you the back of my hand doesn't look the same anymore either)

  Hubby won an iPod shuffle and a $50 iTunes card as a door prize at one of the functions last night.  Open bar, fabulous appys followed by a fabulous meal.

For someone who wept for 6 months when I moved to the island, you sure couldn't pay me enough to live there again.  There will always be some things I miss about it, but I've grown fond of the slower pace over here.

  I always cruise by my old places to see how they look now.  I have no idea why....but I always do.

  It was fun.  I toured around, and spotted several of the restaurants everyone is always talking about.  That was kind of fun.

Twas Russ.  I'm too lazy tonight, but tomorrow I must post a pic of the car that was parked out front.  We were on the 10th floor, so we looked straight down on some kind of Ferrari.  The 'trunk' was glass....exposing the white glove clean engine. It was amazing.

  Good call Lil Me.  We often do travel with our own coffee, but the Fairmont didn't seem like the right thing to do.  I also think that what we consider 'the perfect taste' has something to do with the water as well.

  edit:  It was a business thing, Russ. That's about the only time we ever get away.....lol

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Was fun, Devil. Still always have that 'coming home' feeling when I go there.  It has a mix of feelings for me.  I either feel like I haven't had enough time there, or I can't get out of there fast enough.  lol

  One thing for certain, it sure changes from one time to the next.  The traffic would make me nuts if I had to go to work there.  Too much, too fast.  Decisions must be made in a split second or you end up on a bridge going somewhere you didn't intend to go. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]  The slower pace here has 'untrained' me for this.

Hi P.C., Devil and PL!

Byee lil me!

  Yep, I am sure it is a different pace than your neck of the woods for sure P.C.

You know what was weird for me? After living in California in the Bay Area for a year, then moving back to Vancouver, I thought I was in a quiet, slow paced fishing village.

I guess it is all relative. I am due for a Vancouver visit.

  Very different Devil.  That's a good thing.  I can still go to the city, but always have a peaceful sanctuary to come home to.

  Well I suppose I should go get something done.  (I took an extra day off work when I booked off Sunday.....am I ever glad I did)

  I'm fine thanks. How are you?

  Blades of Glory look like a good movie. I'm an avid fan of Will Ferell. Not too sure about Reno 911. I've seen the series (very briefly) and thought it was.... hmm..... so-so. Prefer Corner Gas to Reno 911.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Mar 19 07 04:45
I started this on the last post and the fawkin thing went blank and lost my post. So did the last one and now Im working on this one...

  Im too lazy to unload my truck still.. feeling a bit crappy again and the truck is outside covered in copious amounts of mud and its raining.. LOL, the beers still cold in the cooler though.

  This weekend was great.. other than getting caught in traffic on the sea to sky highway on the way up. We were completely stopped on the sea to sky hwy for 20 minutes at one point. The sign person was telling jokes over the radio to the other person. I saw nothing being done the entire time we were stopped. We went in behind Pemberton again, we along the Forest Service road again without anyone really breaking down (too bad), we hit snow in whistler then again in Pemberton.. it went away from the treeline then we hit it again at Sloquet. We were the only ones up there (six trucks/4runners and 15 people total), until the second night when a pair of guys in XJ's from Kelowna showed up.

Hotsprings were awesome with no hippy freakish nude people again, I guess the snow scared them away. We went out the Harrison way behind the Sasquatch Inn by Lougheed Fwy, and went through three major washouts from the melting snow, lots of trees down as well, luckily all our group is in heavily modified and lifted vehicles so we drove over the boulders and trees that were down without having to move them

I found out my nice big chrome rear toyota bumper wasnt as strong as I thought, lol. Starfish and myself were the first group up there, as we got tired of waiting for the others and headed up first to make sure we got spots before others took them.. it was pitch dark (of course) and my reverse lights suck.. add on to that I couldt see out my back window and my mirrors were covered in mud and it was dumping down rain. Ok, lets just say it was pretty crappy out. Anyhow, the snow was about 18-22 inches in some parts, like where I was trying to back through to set my truck up beside my tent (I could run a 12 power cord from the cig lighter to an electric blanket and such then). So, Im in 4 low with the hubs locked.. trying to back up between trees, stumps, and boulders with the very noticable and loud miss starfish guiding me so I dont hit anything.. For those of you that dont know us, she's not that noticable or loud.. especially on that night. So, Im giving generous amounts of the skinny pedal to get momentum through the snow (note: 35" MTR's arent the best in the snow) and Starfish moves to get a better view.. right behind the truck. I get close to a tree.. and she begins waving madly for me to stop. Can we see the problem here? lol, not yelling, just waving from behind the truck where I cant see. lol. Lets just say that its um, a little noticable lol.

Also, heres a little tidbit of info that might come in handy.. After you set up a tarp, keep careful note where your friends (who are more than likely a little bit on the two sheets to teh wind side of drinking at this point, I mean come on! Youve been there about an hour now.lol) move the firering to and where the pooling water from the tarp will dump. Otherwise theres a distinct possiblity that the fire will disappear in a puff of healthy lung choking smoke/steam as if Merlin the Magician waved his magic wand around with a big KazAAm!

Also, when you have been camping with the same group of people for a while.. you know we dont go slow over the logging roads with teh bumps, we go no matter what... You dont have to try to keep up as you know where we are going. So stop bringing glass bottles of beer that arent even packed from breakage then yell at the rest of us cause they broke! lol! I mean come on! It happens to at least 1-2 of them EVERY time, theres a reason that the rest of us pack up cans of beer and glass bottles of booze in rubbermaids.

  LOL, there was lots of good times.. I wish I had a camera so I could show you some of the funny things. Oh, and potato cannons are great. Just make sure you bring enough potato's and Starting Fluid.

It was finaly sunny in the last day.. on the way out, lol. We tried a sun bringing dance around a fire the day before. I guess it mustve worked.

 You will be fine, they are crappy right now cause of the washouts and snow melts. They are FSR so the ministry of highways takes care of them.. the logging companies also use them, theres potholes and the usual logging road things.

Dont do the whole leg, you wont do too well the Harisson side, too rough. Theres creek crossings as well that way. Go in the Pemberton side, and you can go right there. For family camping, I would seriously suggest going to Skookumchuck. 5 bucks per night, theres campsites with outhouses, garbage cans, and firepits with wood service. There's hot tub tubs there, and they are maintianed, its natural water from a close by fissure.

  [A href="http://www.britishcolumbia.com/hotsprings/?id=24"]http://www.britishcolumbia.com/hotsprings/?id=24[/A]

The only update is that its no longer owned by the Tretheway Family. Our illustrious government bought it from the Tretheways who had the impression it was going to be made into a government run park.. they gave it to the overcompensated Natives instead. Its still open though, a few friends of ours went there on the way to sloquet. From the Pemberton side its like 46km in along the mainline FSR, and Sloquet is at the 76km mark along the mainline FSR. St Agnes/ Skookumchuck is marked, Sloquet is not and you have to go in like 8 km along a windy roughish road once you turn off the mainline FSR.

Afternoon all!

  Well, we are done shopping and Starfish is packed. Im starting to move stuff into one corner of the house for me.

  We didnt end up eating in the food court Luscious Lise.. we ended up going for a beef Pho close by us. Then went to Metro afterwards. Starfish ate very clean and tidy with one partly used napkin and no mess on the table. Meanwhile being teh typical white male I had a stack of used scrunched up napkins littering my side of the table. With bits and bobs of noodles, beef, and broth all over the table, the front of my shirt, and dripping down my chin.

She kept trying to wipe my face and not laugh.

 A skate? seriously? crazy. Because for about all of the 90's I thought a Canuck meant a 'skate' and then when they went to the current logo I thought it was a local name for an orca. lol

 Yeah? Saweet! Ill be getting one of those. I didnt get one of these dumb orca bay ones. I had the one previous like the white one I posted.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Mar 20 07 03:11
I actually really don't like the lumberjack. I was very dissapointed. I like the Orca myself. The Orca represents Orca Bay though, and they no longer own the Canucks. YAY! Canucks are Canadian owned again!

  I like the white one with just the skate though.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Ok, Starfish agree's with you. She HATES the lumberjack. I think its hilarious.. the Canucks with a Lumberjack.

Can't stay for long. Gotta run.

  But yes, I do get allergies. It's starting.... worst when I start mowing the lawn. My dog shedding like crazy doesn't help either. I take no medication for allergies because those anti-histamines make me drowsy. Sucks.

  49er suggested acupuncture... I might give it some thought.

I'm up to as little as possible Lise.  

  The guy that is creating all the havoc at work had his 3 month review today.  I'd like to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting.  He actually spoke words to me today (the first in 3 months).  

  So it's put my feets up hour right now.

  And you?

Hehe. Maybe they grilled him at the meeting. One can only  hope.

  I'm doing fine. The kids are sleeping right now so I'm juggling DS and writing reports for my dad-in-law clients.

Allo Starfish, Purelife, P.C., Devil and SD!

  Starfish- I'm so jealous.  Have a wonderful time in Bermuda.

  Back from skiing.  Quit early because it was snowing steadily all day and my butt was wet.  Fun day.

  I've been sailing, but have no clue about the mechanics of it.  My sailor friends would tell me what to do.  Should probably go out more often with the in-laws because they sail...but nah.  Not worth the aggrevation!!!

  Caesar time.  Ja.

It'll be OK SD.  I know lots of people who have had this.  It is quite common and I think they are called a ganglion cyst.  (although it's common, that doesn't make it common to YOU....right?)  Just letting you know so you don't worry.

Good evening everyone... going to bed soon but wanted to say hi. :)))

I had sardines (the cloverleaf brand, mediterranean).  Freaking 4 bucks over at Save On Foods.  It's half that over at Walmart, but, my body craved sardines.  

Oh, I was told a beauty secret to stay looking young.  This lady, who is really in her late 70's, I swear, looks like she's in her late 30's.  I asked her what her "secret" was.  Aside from the usual "exercise" response, she said that she took cod liver oil daily ONLY in the fall/winter season.  Interesting, huh?

Work went fine this morning/last night.  Although there was a kid walking through my neighbourhood like he just got out of school.  Had a book bag and everything, except it was 2am in the morning, weird.

yeah it was the fall of '02, my high school football team just won the first round of state playoffs 45-10.  It was a school night.  I come driving home pull a right, turn onto my street, and out of the common grounds area comes a lady (common grounds is this land that no houses are built that anyone can use it but it doesn't lead anywhere, think giant field with woods).  She wasn't blinking she just looked straight ahead, lifeless.  She was acting like she was walking a dog, except she didn't have a dog with her and it was 1am in the morning.

I was scared out of my mind. (I lived on a cul-da-sac and she came out of the woods across the street from me.  I even stopped on my drive way and stared to see if that would do anything, but she kept walking on the sidewalk looking like a zombie.

wow...just got back to my puter....watching the movie Blood Diamond.  Wow..not a movie for the weak of heart.  We sit here in our posh homes...with our families...safe and sound.  Watching that movie gives insight to the terrors that mankind is wreaking upon the world.  Yes...shed a tear...more than one....famillies torn apart...children killed infront of their parents...maimed...tortured...beaten...and what is so disheartening...is that it is true.  We have peaceful lives compared to the torment that goes on in the world.  Sorry to sound like a downer...tis a really difficult movie to watch...an eye opener I should say.....

 Well this essay is about explaining what Orwell, Lessing, Chamberlin and Nehru think about Imperialism. I'm suppose to basically summarize what they believe.  So that wouldn't be filler.  The only time I get to say something is in the Intro and Conclusion paragraph, which I've already wrote. So the easy part is now.

Then its two research papers which I'll do at the same time (knock both out at the same time collecting info) and then the writing short story and that's it!

Hardest part for me is the draft.  Pre-writing etc. Once I start to write the essay that's the easy part for me.

 I would ask a retailer, and get them to show you proof of where they get diamonds from. I know Spence Diamonds in Calgary get their diamonds from the NWT, so you are not really supporting a war, you are just supporting unionized Canadian miners, etc.

  Pretty good. I had wonton soup and a double burger with all the trimmings.

After the others saw my wonton soup they ordered teh same thing.

tomorrow's forecast if for heavy rain here in Van.  Going to a funeral tomorrow afternoon, and we'll be standing outside until the person is lowered into the ground.  Mr LM thinks this is a crazy custom.  I had assumed that every culture did it, but apparently not.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 22 07 10:02
Usually they don't do that, but my grandpa's funeral was like that in Florida. This was mainly due to a super strong thunderstorm errupting right at the burial.  So we hurried up the burial process and sprinted to the cars.  It was very odd.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: pitbullca.bc on Mar 22 07 10:04
I don't think of it as a crazy custom....I am not sure what the weather has to offer tomorrow...was supposed to rain today..but we had sunny skies? Yeah...throw another milkshake at the weather man  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 22 07 10:10
well if you knew my family it was actually quite funny.  But that's mainly due to my grandma who is just a character all herself.  Only person that still strikes fear into me is an 82 year old 4'5 lady who speaks broken english and wears a doctors mask cuz she can't breathe very well. lol lol lol  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: pitbullca.bc on Mar 22 07 10:13
you know...that is called respect...and by the sounds of things...she has sure earned it!  And good for you!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 22 07 10:20
yeah, she's the one who's been in Soviet Workers Camps after the war.  She can't breathe well anymore because she has black lung disease...... she's never smoked, she worked in a soviet coal mine.....


She's hysterical though but she's really old fashion.  If she sees you reading, she'll ask why aren't you working. lol.  And her idea of shopping is going to the grocery store.

The best part or most hysterical part is that everytime her birthday or easter or christmas comes around she goes "well this is my last christmas..." lol she's been saying that for 8 years now.  Like last year she said she was going to see the beach for the last time.

She's the energizer bunny.  Although a bank teller thought she was robbing a bank because she had her doctors mask on. lol

that reminds me I've got to call her...

yeah my grandma ends up telling stories, she's recording her life on tape just like grandpa did. I like to read about the fate in life and how lucky we are to be here.  I'm sure I could come up with at least 100 of those type of things.

Something to tell the kids I guess when I get older.  I'm sure if they're anything like me they'll be interested in those things.

I agree. And it was DEAD in samurai sushi.

We walked in and the two guys go quiet and the lady gave us an oversized toothy smile. We were worried.

 Thats cool! We dug out my parents table a few weeks ago.. they bought it over 30 years ago and forgot they had it. I tried to 'sneak' it out but my mother dug in her talons. Im going to wait until they are out of town again and take it. Put mine in its place and put a table cloth over it. Maybe she wont notice.

LOL! So this is where the lunch thread goes on Fridays!!

  One time, (back in the crazy days), went to the bar with my ex gf and a few friends, sitting around, having a few drinks. I raise my right hand, talking to it I say:

"I am so sorry, I cheated on you!"

My gf at the time didn't laugh as hard as our friends did, we didn't last too much longer anyways, she was a stuck up ****!!!

Is anybody still there?  I missed the Friday lunch chat because I went to a funeral.  My kids said the highlight of their day was watching the hiab truck stuck in the mud out in the cemetary.  There was a fab dinner to follow at the Sun Siu Wah.  *burp*

Got home late from work and I'm just listening to some excellent reggae a friend sent me. Hard to be depressed when you're listening to reggae     :)
So...what did you have for Lunch?
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 23 07 10:19
I raided my parents' fridge for leftovers before the funeral.  Some Ancient Grains salad and butter chicken.  You?  Bibimbap?
 Today's rain was exceptionally torrential.  I don't think you get these large bucket storms in the Bay Area.  Mind you the weather there is strange.  Was last in SF last summer, and couldn't believe how COLD it was in the city in Aug, but drive across the GG Bridge and it's hot .
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Mar 23 07 10:29
Ha!! So true!!
Mark Twain said something like "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in san francisco". LOL!
People have strange ideas about what california's like. They always imagine san diego type weather but the bay area and the central coast can be cold, foggy and rainy a lot of the year. Ug.

Sorry about your monsoon season!! Your right, we get rain here but it's usually not the kind where you are afraid to inhale for fear of drowning.

Lunch was a crispy chicken salads from burger king and an apple. It's sort of sad that you can get 2 or 3 burgers for the price of a salad. Is lettuce really so expensive??

I'm ominiverous, but less meaty than I used to be.  Lotsa fish and tofu around here.  Mind you, BBQ season is around the corner (as soon as all the damn rain stops), so it's off to Costco for lamb chops, Angus beef burgers, smokies, steaks, etc.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me that I haven't had dinner yet!!    ;)

Tomorrow I get to clean my bathroom because I've procrastinated too long! It's actually pretty clean right now except...for...the...grout    *shudder*

I take really really long baths and showers so mold is always an issue. How do you clean teh grout!??!? HALP???!?!?

I think I remember Lise saying use bleach.

So yeah, I'll be cleaning my bathroom, maybe vacuuming. If it's a nice day and I actually wake up before the afternoon I'll check out the beach since I haven't been in months (which is sad because it's just down the street).

How about you?? Plans?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Mar 23 07 10:49
Be careful cleaning that grout tenkani.  No mixing of Windex and bleach.  Lethal combo of gasses.

  A good spring cleaning really lifts the spirits...yes? (AFTER it's DONE of course)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Hi P.C.!
 
 I think Tilex is the lazy way to go.  That stuff it totally noxious, but it literally melts away grime.  Spray, go away for 20 minutes, wipe with sponge, rinse.  Repeat if the problem is really bad.
 
 What's up with you this weekend, P.C.?
 
 I'm taking kids to the Canucks practice, going to pub Beer &amp; Burger for the Relay for Life, and going to throw out more crap.  I started last weekend, but I've got more junk to go through.  Need to shred 12+ years of bank statements, credit card receipts, etc. Don't know why I keep so much junk- paranoid, I think.
 
 Is Spring Cleaning biological?

 HAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA.... Somehow I'm not surprised that yer a keeper (in every sense of the word).  When I split with my ex, my lawyer said it's too bad the root of all this problem goes so far back.......some proof would make life easier.  "What kind of proof are you talking about" I asked.  You know....receipts, bills etc.  She just about fell off her chair when she learned that I had every receipt, hydro bill, telephone bill, bank statement...from the time I had left home. I keep everything

  How fun!  Canucks practice ?????  Nice.

  No exciting plans for me.  Well, unless you consider a quiet weekend doing home stuff exciting (like me [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0] )

Evening Everyone!
 
 Chicken burger at the pub for me.  It was a fundraiser for Relay for Life.  Must put in a plug for the Two Parrots Pub in Coquitlam- they donate the beer and burgers every year, so the full $15 ticket price goes to the Canadian Cancer Society.  Went home with a bunch of raffle prizes :)  Fun night.
 
 Only had a few drinks earlier, because I needed to get myself home.  Now I am home- time for a few more!

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 24 07 10:07
Yes, halibut is expensive.  And huge!  Can't believe how big those fish are.
 
 There is also a fish called Orange Roughy, which tastes like lobster.  It lives at the bottom of the ocean and eats whatever libsters eat.  Kinda hard to find, and expensive, but it's good.
 
 There are BIG lobster tails in the frozen section of the Superstore.  They look like a gigantic lobster popsicle.  About $10 each.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 24 07 10:12
Do you have the same itchy reaction to crabs, Lil Me?

I remember when I was very young, I itched all over whenever I had crabs, but now, it seems to have disappeared.  Thank goodness...cuz I enjoy crabs.

One of my co-workers suddenly developed an allergic reaction to chocolate.  She started to itch all over.  I didn't know that one could develop allergies later in life....
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 24 07 10:15
allergies are weird things.  they can come and go.
 
 Yes, allergic to all shellfish (shrimps, crab, lobsters, clams, etc.)  I can eat a few shrimp, or a few pieces of crab/lobster or drink a few Caesars- then I need to stop.
 
 Often, at Chinese dinners, I just eat the crab/lobster sauce on top of white rice.  MMMMM.  Or the scrapings from the inside of the crab shell.

more of an accent?
Craig's accent is pefect for this role.
In the book Bond, is an orphan from poverty in England. So he doesn't have the upper class accent the other actors who played Bond would have.

Post by: purelife on Mar 24 07 10:40
oh okay..I guess that he is good for the role then. :)  i have not read the book or follow it much..i noticed that his accent was not too distingushed  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 24 07 10:44
yup this movie actually talks about Bond's upbringing a bit. They go into his file about him not having parents and living in an orphanage.

In the books Bond was picked to be an agent because he would be used as a show dog to show the British lower class that they can get out of their misery.

just finished my essay. 2,300 words! phew.

But up and down, up and down temperature, you know, normal Calgary.

Not too many tornados here, too close to the mountains for them to gain momentum.

Hello SD, no i wasn't aware of that.  Maybe I'll ask our driver next time I see her.  Canadian currency is useless here.  It's either USD or Bermudian dollar.  Lots of Canuck expats.  

  Went for an hour and half walk towards a place called Devil's Hole (a natural pool with bermudian fish, sharks, etc.)  It wasn't open for the season yet although a sign said enter through cafe which was open.  It was a actually a clubhouse where a bunch of ppl were watching cricket.

Canada's Caribbean ambition[/span]
 [span class="subtitle"]CBC News Online | April 16, 2004[/span]

         [!--START IMAGE TABLE--] [table class="body" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="200"][tbody][tr][td] [img]http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/turksandcaicos/gfx/turksandcaicos.jpg" border="1" height="135" width="200"]
 [span class="cutline"][/span] [/td][/tr][/tbody][/table] [!--END IMAGE TABLE--] Quebec City too cold in February? Fredericton frosty in December? Nunavut November not for you? Fear not, there may be help: at least one member of Parliament and a handful of interest groups are asking the Canadian government to annex a little slice of sun-splashed heaven: the Turks and Caicos, a Caribbean gem with an average wintertime temperature hovering between 28 and 29 C.

 Canadian Alliance MP Peter Goldring (Edmonton Centre-East) thinks it's a wonderful idea. He's drafted a motion to ask the government to look into the issue, and plans to introduce it in the fall. "I think around 100 per cent of people (in Canada, and Turks and Caicos) like the idea," he told CBC News Online in July 2003.

 Currently a British overseas territory, the Turks and Caicos (actually a grouping of 40 islands located 250 kilometres east of Cuba) have a history of being on the wish lists of Canadian politicians.

 In 1974, NDP MP Max Saltsman tried to use a private member's bill to persuade the government to consider annexing the islands. He reasoned that there should be a warm-weather destination for Canadians to spend money on Canadian soil.

Unfortunately for sun-loving Snowbirds, the proposal was rejected.

 In 1988, members of the Turks and Caicos government resolved to approach the Canadian government about establishing a special relationship. But alas, the idea of annexing a warm-weather island took back seat to the debate over free trade with the United States (something some Canadians consider annexation of a different variety).

 Peter Goldring hopes this time around it will be different. "I have been talking with a number of members of the (Turks and Caicos) government," he told CBC News Online. "And I have indications from a couple of them that this is an issue they want to pursue."

 Goldring says annexation could be mutually beneficial: Canada can provide good health care, economic ties, defence, and a steady flow of winter-weary Snowbirds; Turks and Caicos would give Canada a warm, friendly 11th province - a southern destination where the Loonie could land without breaking a wing.

Plus, says Goldring, tongue planted firmly in cheek, "Paul Martin would have a place to park his fleet."

So what's there to do in Bermuda?  

 The touristy things will keep me occupied on Saturdays.  Still have to visit St. Georges (east side) and Dockyards (west side).  Then there's the beaches.  We live in the Flatts area (sort of like North Vancouver).  The walk today was okay for me but we had to walk on the highway, there are no sidewalks.  Luckily there aren't any huge trucks :P mostly scooters, small cars and a rollerblader!  

 Everything is expensive here.  I'm a bargain hunter so my eyes lit up when we drove past a Dollar Depot store.  After some web searching I found one downtown.  Guess where I'm headed Monday after work.  The other thing I might splurge on is a purse.  Saw a lavender purse @ Mark and Spencers for $55 USD.  I might get it as a treat for myself in a month when I leave the island.

Evening all!

  wow, we had some time with the boat testing. Have some pictures Ill see about putting up later. Im freakin tired right now.

  First off the boat we tested is OLD, keep that in mind. Like 60's old. Also the best way to describe it is an engine with a boat attached as an afterthought. Think ski boat only for rivers.. now this engine is huge, its a 429 cubic inch with a four barrel double pumper carburator.

Now launching the boat was interesting, as the guy hasnt backed up a trailer many times, so after backing down the launching ramp hes too close to one side, and hit the floating dock putting a scratch on his boat. lol. Ok so he now launches it.. and its leaking. By this point I have launched my boat and parked my diesel truck and trailer. I tied up my boat at the far end of the floating dock and attempted to start my motor. 'click'. The solenoid on teh starter was seized, so we had to open the engine cover, i put it up and started to lean in with a hammer to whack the starter. Next thing I know Im being crushed by the engine cover because the little shock to hold it up gave out. Great, and all I hear is my brother and friends in the boat laughing at me. So after they lift the cover off me and I can breath again I whacked the starter with a hammer, put my hand on the carburetor on the top of the engine to push myself up, and my brother tries to start the engine. It tries to start and backfires, in the process taking all the hair off of one of my arms, and scaring the living crap outta me. I get out of there yelling and he tries again and starts it. Ok, so the boats idling and music playing, leave those fools along and my brother and I walk over to the other boat.

By this point he's figured out his problem.. he didnt put the plug in. LOL. And he didnt have one with him! So what did he use? He saw a sparkplug rolling around the bottom of his boat so he jammed it in the hole. But the best part of this whole spectacle is the fact that his girlfriend is involved at this point.. he had her sitting on the stern of the vessel on top of the engine bailing the water out of the boat. When he told her they were going boating and to dress appropriately.. she dressed for a yacht in nice white clothes and jeans, lets just say that she was a nice brown by this point in the day. And telling him in no uncertain terms that she was having a great time and was going to remind him of this for the rest of his life.

Now he had run the motor at home.. but not from the gas tanks in the boat, he just hooked up a line into a jerry can. He filled up the tanks at the gas station and was trying to start his motor. It would fart and die right away. After a while of this, i got upset and my brother and I got in there and starting poking about and checking things.. Discovered that the carburater was spraying mostly water into the engine.. because there was water and crap in the bottom of his boat gas tanks. To discover this took about an hour. After berating him for a while, I went and got one of our portable fuel tanks from our boat we keep as a spare and plumbed it into his fuel line. After one minute of cranking the motor fires right up, runs great, but its LOUD. wow. Have I mentioned that this is a direct drive boat because the gearbox doesnt work? The boat takes off! lol, so hes headed out of the cove into the river channel with my brother and Im left standing on the dock. I rush back to the boat to catch up, untie the boat and take off following him. I open up the boat to try to race him when he follows up beside me.. I get the boat up to 50 miles an hour.. and he blows me away. Like I was standing still.. wide open his engine with a boat goes 65-70 miles an hour ON THE WATER. Insane. After about 10 minutes he stops dead in teh water, I drive up to him and see they are trying to siphon some gas from his boat tanks into the portable gas can he has.. he ran out of gas! In ten minutes he went through 6 gallons of gas!

After running about for a while, including him almost going up on the beach at one point because he was trying to light a cigarrette, which he ended up losing along with his lighter anyhow in the wind. We head back into the cove with the dock and boat launch. He of course manages at this point to run aground.. which is no biggie cause its mud there, but he also manages to hit the dock pretty good once he gets going again. Another guy that was there told him that one launching ramp was far too shallow and had a big hole. True to form today he backs his truck down that one he was told not to and his tailer disapeared. After getting the boat on, he tries to get out of the dropoff and cant.. so he guns it and the truck bounces up and out. However the problem here was that he didnt lock his boat crank in position.. and teh boat bounced off teh trailer and back into the water.. luckily into the water and not the concrete boat launch. After backing up again, after much time passing.. the waters gone out further.. so he goes FARTHER into the water. This time getting the boat on the trailer and trying to get out.. the metal stand teh boat winch goes to broke off the trailer. So I get out there now and tie the boat to the trailer with rope. In the meantime while getting over to the trailer, I put my foot on what I thought was concrete boat ramp when it really was a pothole full of mud.. and soaked my foot halfway up to my knee.

He gets the boat up and out of the water this time.. and the story is done right? wrong! during all that bashing about under the water where you cant see.. he blew the bead on his tire. Incredible at this point.. nothings working out for him.

  So we get the truck and boat up the ramp and park it off the side. Of course theres no spare, and its an oddball rim and bolt pattern. So we then jacked up the trailer, took off the tire and sent one guy to the gas station.. and the cold beer and wine as we were out of beer. After screwing around for hours, we finally had the tire back on and the trailer kinda drove ok.. the whole axle on the tailer had shifted back when he rammed it on the droppoff so the tailer was dog walking.

  He drove the whole way home at 60 km/hr with us following him.. and teh smell of burning rubber.

  LOL. So.. how was everyones day? To be honest we all had a great time today, everyone felt sorry for him and bought him dinner. But he had a grin on his face from ear to ear because he finally got his boat out on the water and running.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

One thing I figured out early on about doing well at university, determine what the instructor wants and give it to them.

  It's Ok to be opinionated, but doing so while still remaining within the instructor's framework is an art that you would be well advised to perfect.

  If you enter into an assignment intent on expressing yourself in your own unique manner and damn the consequences you are going to run into professors who will crush you to prove their point. I had an instructor who would routinely axe an entire letter grade from your paper if your headers were not perfect.

  It's their world, and unless you want to spend all your free time crying to the dean, get used to giving them what they want. I have no shame so it was easy for me. I don't mind grovelling for a good cause.

Cherry blossoms bloom around this time and are fully grown by Burrard Station.  I have seen many people taking out their cameras taking pictures.  It's a beautiful sight and feeling to just walk under these cherry blossoms.  I grew up with them around me and it makes me feel like I'm in paradise or something (palm trees would be better)

  Coffee + Hot chocolate = Cafe Mocha.  Ask for it in Starbucks.  It tastes like hot chocolate but with that added pinch of coffe taste.

No this isn't normal but the last few years haven't been normal. I wouldn't be surprised if it hit 90F by the end of this month (upper 30's C).

We've been in a drought for two years now. In July last year it never got below 96F (35.5 C).  Bunch of people died.  The rural areas the crops were failing in the drought stricken areas.  It was getting hard to breathe outside (and I have no breathing problems so if I can't breathe somebody with asthma is struggling).

And yet people keep telling themselves that this is normal. Its March 27, and its 80F (26.6C) outside.  This is not normal. The normal temperature for this time of year is 50F (10C)

  This is suppose to the the 'rainy' season.
So far this month we've had 1.35inches of rain. The normal amount for the month should be 3 inches of rain.
So far for the year we are an inch under from what we are suppose to be at. We ended the year last year a FOOT and a HALF under the average when we usually finish above it a few inches.  We had the most 100F (38C) degree days on record last year.

And then my farming family says its all a hoax. And their lives depend on rain. oh okay.

last year the mississippi river got 30ft below flood stage, that's really super low.  Right now its 10ft below at downtown. And this is 'high' season due to the fact that the river flows south and usually picks up all the snow from up north.

True, they shut down the General Hospital. It was old and dying. It would have cost more to fix it up, than build a new one.
There was one instance where a woman was sent to Montana for a preemie. Too many people moving here last year all at once.

  Not a fan of Ralph Klein either, he is a alchoholic wife beating redneck. But please don't say anywhere in North America is 'more' democratic.

 yup they always get voted in of course but it seems like nobody wants to challenge the ruling party. There's factions of course within the PC people.  But for example if I was in the PC party and was part of a faction that didn't get my way, I'd split and form a rival party.  There by opening it up a little to get another voice in.

I just found it a little odd and sad that when people were voting for the PC Leader a couple months ago, most people in the center and left voted because they actually got to affect change.  Even though a person like me would never ever vote for a person currently in the PC party.

I sorta equated it to if people got to vote in China for the leader of the Communist Party. Democratic people would vote just because they actually get a voice.  But the end result is more of the same and the problems of society continually getting ignored and people not heard.

my take on it anyway.
And if it was the other way around I'd be promoting the right wing party to have a voice, because its democratic.

Way to fix this proportional voting instead of past the post.

that's crazy Lil Me?

Doctors at the main hospitals don't need anything but a health care card (these days). It is just bursting at the seams due to the heavy migration of people from other provinces. The same people that move to a burb here, work downtown, then complain about the traffic? Umm, you are in a car!??!!

brought it from Costco.  frozen lunch trays...it was absolutely delicious...14grams of fat later. :(

 Mmmmm.  Do you microwave the tray?
 
 ADD: I went to Costco yesterday and bought the ground turkey breast (4 packages for $20).  The best before date is April 2.  WFT?  I seriously think you have to cook poultry within a couple days or freeze it.  What have they done with the turkey to give it a supernatural refrigerated shelf life?

 okay now I really got a title, plot and characters. Its about a boy from a farm in missouri leaving home and growing up and becoming a man when he arrives at his destination. (Its suppose to be fiction and written in a narrorative tone i.e. looking back).  Well I've cheated.  Its a true, story that I went through last year but the instructions say to fictionalize it so I did.  I changed the destination, the starting location and the school. But other then that its real story.

Can't believe this whole mess started way way way back in 2003 when a teacher told me to quit on my math studies because I was according to her:  "going to fail anyway".  So me being the dumb junior at the time, listened and it's been one train wreck after another until now.

finally.

Its good to be on stable ground.

 well the teacher has to grade 5 essays but most likely by the weekend if I'm lucky, she's been slow to grade lately.  Maybe its her spring break.

Then they'll send my diploma through the mail.

Some malls are ok, but Metrotown is a complete NIGHTMARE.  I absolutely hate stepping foot in that mall, personally. I only go there to get groceries in Stupidstore and the odd occasion of visiting my favorite clothing stores.  

  But I'm sure that during the day, it's more quiet than after work and on weekends which are the times when I venture there.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Mar 28 07 09:41
true a Wednesday afternoon would be better than Saturday. Saturdays are crazy. metrotown is crazy! When I was younger, I use to like going to the malls cause there was cute girls there.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 28 07 09:48
Metrotown makes me wiggy. I don't know if it's the crowds, the lighting, or what.  I can handle being there 1st thing in the morning, ot just before closing.  And for a limited amount of time.
 
 Mr LM refuses to set foot in the Stupidstore (any location) or T&amp;T (any location).  He will only shop at Safeway or Costco.  Fortuntaley, he doesn't do much of the grocery shopping around here, or we wouldn't afford to eat!

thanks miss PL.. :)

  I might have been a little stressed and burning the candle at both ends.. But to be honest I dont think its that..

  And I have the flu shot too! lol.

    SD!! lol, your comments about a hair cut made me remember about when I needed one when I was in china.

    I had been needing one for a while then, and was getting open comments from my immediate boss about it so I finally decided to do it one saturday. I went to the front desk of the hotel I was living in and managed to get one the front desk girls to understand what I wanted after much comedy. I mean, what do you think was going through her mind when some crazy white guy comes up to you making scissor motions with his fingers into his hair? Especially in a language you dont really understand. Having gotten directions I went out, and being the brilliant navigator that I am who never gets lost.. after ten minutes I was completely lost and had to hail a cab to go back to the hotel. I got back and after waiting to see the same girl again I attempted to tell her how I got lost. After I thoroughly confused her, I think I had used the wrong chinese words and ordered a beer cause one came, she disappears into the back and comes out in street clothes! Aha! A guide! I can get to the hair cutting place now!

So we walk from the hotel in the same direction she sent me.. and she obviously got lost herself cause we wandered twice around the same block I ended up at. Maybe I wasnt so dumb afterall. We then hailed a cab and went to a barber shop. It even had the rotating pole that the old skool barbers had. After going in, there was a huge disturbance because the owner noticed a white guy coming in. I was led to the front of the line, and sat down to have my hair cut by the owner himself (this was obviously a great honour which after the end product I wished I wasnt bestowed with). He sent the girl whose chair he hijacked off to get something and came back with a beer and a stack of pictures of hairdo's (I really liked china with the way they always assumed I wanted a beer). After being showed of hairdo's of the likes of kiss and even a few women, I managed to find one that looked like what I wanted.

After getting my haircut (I would wear a hat for a few weeks afterwards everytime in public so all the guys I was working with wouldnt burst into laughter), I ended up having my picture taken with the owner and his staff. I noticed all my hair was spent up carefully, I didnt think anything of it until the next time I went there for a haircut I saw a picture of me in teh window with a clear box beside it containing my hair. Obviously this was some sort of marketing ploy that was using me without compensation.. but I decided to let it go. I turned around and went in search of another barber.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 28 07 11:45
lol.  another russ story!
 
 Mr LM had a haircut in China.  It included a beer and a body massage.  Mr LM wasn't quite sure what to think when the girl led him behind the curtain and motioned for him to lie down!
 
 The haircut was weird.  They gave him serious lamb chop sideburns, because they think that white guys like that look!

I don't like messing around with raw fish at home.  But I've made cucumber, mushroom and Cali.  I just can't guage the amount of rice and filling to use, and then make the damn thing stay together.  I'm hopeless at it.  (can't roll a joint, either)

lol.  another russ story!

Mr LM had a haircut in China.  It included a beer and a body massage.  Mr LM wasn't quite sure what to think when the girl led him behind the curtain and motioned for him to lie down!

The haircut was weird.  They gave him serious lamb chop sideburns, because they think that white guys like that look!
   
 I had a similar experience.. when I went to a place that I was recommended to go to for a chiro massage. I specified to the person that recommended it that I wanted a massage, a real one.

I ended up going there, and after a few worries I got a great one! It was really expensive too at 10 Yuan for half an hour, lol. Then when I was dressing she made a money sign, without changing her face expression so I figured, ah! Shes asking for a tip! I gave her a big tip, and proceeded to continue dressing.

She ended up trying to give me a happy ending but I put a stop to that pretty quick, lol. I think she didnt know if I was rejecting her or not wanting it, cause she looked hurt!

Trying to tell someone you have a girlfriend when you are over there just doesnt seem to matter, lol.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

  Hmm, thats interesting. Ill have to think about it then. Its still pretty cheap just to buy a bunch of cali rolls and sashimi.

  lol, when I used to do it, I could roll a joint pretty good. I think that was because when I started smoking I would roll my own tobbacco.

Hi everybody.

  Miss Pit.....that's too funny.  Boy did you bring back memories.  Dam lego.

  I did the 3 bin thing too   LOL.   But what I did after that was put ALL their toys into 3 bins and put one in the attic.  Once every couple of months I would pull the stored bin out and remove one of the remaining 2.  It was like their old toys became new toys again.  It worked.  It renewed their interest in their old toys and the amount of toys left to play with didn't put them into toy stimulation overload.

Hi Lise [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a010.gif" border=0]

  One more day down at the lunatic assylum.  

  The Food and Beverages manager quit last week so they hired a new gal.  Another of the cooks quit yesterday so they hired another new gal who started today at noon.  She quit before 2 o'clock and the gal that started last week quit too.  I don't work in that area of the operation, but you could feel the bad vibes coming from that end of the building.  That place is toxic for sure.

  At my end ?  STILL no acknowlegement of my resignation letter.  Meh...dufusses.

  I'm off for the next 3 days, then I'll only have 8 more days to go.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a084.gif" border=0]

Snow is lovely only when you don't need to go outside to work or shovel.

  Evening all. Dinner tonight was taco. Lovely. My entire family consumed the entire package of taco then hunted for more chips to dip in the salsa. I'm of the opinion that tacos are not really meal food but "junk food" in disguise.

  Maybe I should do what purelife do and offer them sardines.

have you ever gone up that arch? or whatever it is called in st. louis? can you go up there? is there a nice view?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 29 07 03:22
yeah I've been up it a few times. Not really much to see.  Across the river is a giant abandon warehouse and slums.

People joke about the nickname of the town "Gateway to the West".
It's really the symbol that tells saint louisians to "go west, because it sucks here lol"

hmm I must of killed the office/work story thread. I knew that would happen.

Right now I'm in dream mode, about being an urban planner.
Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to be an urban planner, I just didn't know that it was called urban planning.

nope, I want a quiet life, politics is like a nuclear bomb waiting to go off for me, lots and lots of stress and a lot of anger behind it.  Don't like it.

But urban planning is political itself but its not super in your face politics is.

I might have to buy one of those for my rowing.  This guy who is on my team said that they were comfy and great when walking in the water on the beach.  I was just looking at them over at Payless today.  That's funny how you mentioned it.  I don't think that I'll buy it though.  Not my style.

Morning PB, Devil, SD, and da lurkers

  Wow, this cold is hanging on with teh skin of its teeth. I dont know if im going to feel any better this weekend. Im trying nyquil daytime and buckley's but its still the smae :(

  Anyhow.. whats everyones plans for lunch? Im thinking about going out for pho for lunch i need something sweeter for my throat that wont hurt.

  So todays my mothers bday.. my brother and I are going to buy her round trip tickets to Nanaimo or victoria on the Harbour air planes: [A href="http://www.harbour-air.com/home/index.php"]http://www.harbour-air.com/home/index.php[/A]

At around 270 a round trip its just going to be her and not my dad as well. lol.

  hope everyones day is going ok!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 30 07 11:24
OOoo...the Harbour Air Round trip is a lovely lovely ride.  Half hour one way, right?  I'll have to take that ride one day as it beats going on the freakin ferry ride that is for hours and then take the bus to downtown Victoria for another 2 more hours!!!!!!!1

  Hope your mama has a wonderful birthday. :)))  

  Have you tried Neo Citron?  It always knocks me right out.  Pho sounds like good soup too to help. :)))

Hi Lunchies!
 
 Russ- When in doubt, just go with the pho.  (haaaaah!)  Thank you, thank you...I'll be here all week.
 
 Seriously, use all the limes and chiles, too.
 I was badly hung over yesterday, felt like dealth until I started eating oranges and strawberries.
 
 Devil- thanks for your kind offer, but my ongoing drywall saga involves micro mudding and taping.  Mr LM built recessed shelves 5 yrs ago and got pissed off trying to mud with a popsicle stick.  So it sits unfinished.
 
 Lunch today is brown rice salad and a frozen veg roti wrap.

 when a breaker trips, the breaker switch kicks back from the on position.....check the breaker, if its not lined with the rest of the breakers, its tripped....something is shorting the circuit
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Mar 30 07 01:19
Hey 49er,

  Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it, honestly. I've looked at the breaker switches... they're all align properly. Everything is pointed in the one direction which is ON.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Mar 30 07 01:45
I agree with 49er miss lise. I just finished putting in a new breaker panel and all new breakers in my place.

  If the breaker trips, it will kick back, but in order to reset it, you need to push it firmly to the off position until it clicks back in the  position, then put it on again.

  Is there a label legend of what teh breakers are for on the back of the breaker box cover? Look there and look for power sockets for that area of the house.. put the breaker off all the way and on. Sometimes when a breaker goes it doesnt always click back in the tripped position. If its not that and you want to try (i used to alot, lol.) one by one push the breakers back firmly all the way into the off postion and then forward into the on position again. Keep in mind that everything in the house will be reset and you will have to reprogram everything and reset teh clocks.

    Heya Russ,

  I did do as you say. Still nothing works. I don't know. Maybe something just got short-wired.... *sigh* I'll try again after this, maybe just pull everything off again and really jam the breakers back into their allocated spot.

Good afternoon Lise, PC, Russ, SD and tenkani.

  That's great to hear that you're out of that job, PC.  Was that unusal behavior that they didn't schedule you for next week?

  Tenkani, nope, no climate control issues.  We have these ceiling fans that we could chose to have more or less air blown to us or taken away.  My coworker demands more air blown to her so, she gets mine. :)

  Lunch was red thai chicken curry with strawberries and a kiwi.

  Sorry to hear about your electrical problem, Lise.  I wish that I could send my dad over as he knows all about these sort of things.

Hmmm.... your curry sounds divine. I wish I could eat curry... Lise Jr. hates it and won't touch it, too strong for her palate so most of my cooking have been bland lately.

  Ah, thanks for the thought purelife. Sometimes I wish I was more of a handyperson like Russ or 49er or even PC then I wouldn't be stuck in this situation. Ah well. Another night in the dark.

I tried googling for you, Lise, to find out what it might be.  All I could think is the breaker.  Or, perhaps a wire is loose or something.  There's a way to measure the power of the wires with this equipment.  I've seen my brother and dad use it to test the electrical power.  Um, I dunno what they do afterwards. :((  

  I wish that I was more handy as well.  I do know how to assemble things and plug wires for computer/stereo/tv's and such.  I just follow the manual and instructions.

  Bland food is better for young ones.  I don't like getting kids started with "flavored" food, not until they are much much older.  I don't want them to demand all the extra sugar, spices and salt just to flavor a meal.  Plain and simple is the way I like it. :)))

hmmm she'll come around to curry. Most kids don't like eating 'interesting' things until 6 or 7. At least that's what it was for me anyway.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Mar 30 07 03:25
Thanks for googling for me, dear. *bless* I'm sure it'll work out fine in the end. I'm just thankful I can still access DS. What will I do if the all the sockets go off in the household.... total break-down on my part. Hehe.

  Trouble with growing up on my mom's food is that she uses a ton of flavors and spices. I'm not used to blandness. It's already hard to give up on certain items (like sugar) and now I have to go to bland. Ah well. I'm sure Lise Jr. will come to like spices when she's older as SD pointed out.

  Do your boys enjoy everything you make for them, purelife?

Mixed feelings?



Very mixed tenkani, my friend.  I'm glad to be out of that atmosphere....but there are so many people that I'll miss.  If I get the job I hoping to get....I may still see many of them.

  purelife, I quit, but I gave 2 weeks notice......to end on April 8th.....they are just not scheduling me after today.

Post by: purelife on Mar 30 07 03:32
I make a lot of bland, simple food for them but when I do, they always enjoy eating them because I have them help me out during dinner time.  They love helping me cut the mushrooms (not with a real knife, but with a butter one) and they actually fight for it too.  Kinda cute. :))  They don't like anything spicey as I've tried to make curry once.  Whenever I make chilli, I keep it extremely mild because they wouldn't eat it if it was strong.  

  I think that it'll take time to get kids used to the spices that you like.

My dad had a cat that had grown used to eating tuna from a can.

The vet said he needed to eat more dry food for his health, and some special diet wet food.

The vet said he would yowl for a few days but finally get hungry and eat what was put in front of him.

After 2 weeks of yowling my dad just gave him the goddamn tuna so he'd shut his yap.

Well, at least he knows how to make eggs.  I buy simple stuff that he knows how to make.  ie sausages and bread and nutella, etc.    We actually rarely have chips in the house.  We've recently had crackers in the house all because I like them. :))  He usually just goes out and buy stuff.  He's getting better.  I taught him how to read labels off of food items to see how much sodium is in it.  He's gotta watch his salt intake.  :)))

Birds in the store, yup.

I guess they live up in the stacks of boxes.

Not sure how it is in the great white north but down here in Costco the aisles are basically stacks of crates that go up at least 60 or 70 feet (maybe 18 - 21 meters for you canucks). So who really knows what's hiding up there!?

That sucks lise! stuff like that is normally one of the breakers. Best way to check that is like what miss Puresexxylife says.. with a voltmeter. I carry one in my truck even, lol.

  Check at teh outlets and check the power going throught the breakers on teh output.. careful though, as it is live.. I have shocked myself many a times, lets just say it keeps your heart beating and you on your toes.

If its not that I would say you might have a short in one of your electrical connection boxes.. you might end up having to pull the covers and outlets out to see the electrical connections. By the houseing code all connections have to be done in a junction box that can be accessible without ripping the walls down. Most problems like that is either breaker or connections in the junction boxes. If its worse then its one of the feeder lines to teh outlets, and thats a major suck. You have to take down some of the walls to get at the feeder lines.. and the worst part is you dont knwo which way they've been run.

Lise....hubby say all the advice from 49er and Russ are the same things he would have suggested.

  Ooops...hang on....hubby is taking over........

  Hopefully it's just a breaker gone bad, it doesn't happen too often, but it does happen and it's the safest of all the scenarios. Try taking a small lamp and plugging it in the receptacles that are out, if you can hear any noise (or sparks) there is a loose connection there. Needs to be fixed ASAP.

I think of it more as the quest for appreciation than the quest for serenity....although one seems to follow the other.

Heya all,

  Can't talk much but here's an update. The electrician came and solved the problem within a few seconds.

  Apparently...................... mua did not push in the breakers hard enough.

  Aha aha aha ha.................. so embarassing. Oh well, chalk it up to future reference. Push those breakers till you hear an audible click. I guess 49er and Russ would say, "I told you so."

Pursuit of Happiness was an excellent movie.  We enjoyed it verrrry much. :)  I couldn't find Romancing teh Stone at Blockbuster.  That was too bad.  

Has anyone watched the new Shakira and Beyonce music video?[span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 255);"]  OMGPURESEXXY![/span]  New song:  Beautiful Liar but I enjoy watching the video on youtube.

   Wow I feel cheated in life.

[ul][li]A: 86-100[/li][li]B : 73-85[/li][li]C+: 67-72[/li][li]C: 60-66[/li][li]C- : 50-59[/li][li]I : 49 and below (temporary)[/li][li]F : 49 and below (permanent)[/li][/ul]that's BC's grading scale
By that scale I'm an A, B student

Instead I've always had
A: 90-100
B: 80-89
C: 70-79
D: 60-69
F: 59 below

and then I've also had the evil 8 point system. pure evil!
[ul][li]93 to 100 = A[/li][li]85 to 92 = B[/li][li]77 to 84 = C[/li][li]70 to 76 = D[/li][li]Below 70 = F[/li][/ul]  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 31 07 11:50
well the grading scale I grew up with they said I had learning problems and put me in special ed because I 'wasn't up to snuff'

They split you up in terms of grade wise
A classes: the smart kids
B classes: the normal kids
C classes: the dumb kids

I was always in the 'C' classes and the teachers in middle school/high school don't care about the 'C' class students.  So I was getting shafted.

In 4th grade when I took the yearly state standardized tests to see how smart we are, the state responded saying I wasn't even employable at McDonalds.

Holy moly purelife....were you peeking at my menu tonight.  I actually posted garlic mashed potatoes, but changed it at the last minute thinking I don't really have a fresh enough head of garlic to roast.

  What a coincient !

 oh oh oh
 that sounds like restaurant food, purelife!  Bistro Chez Purelife
 
 The turkey spag sauce was an experiment, but it turned out well.  We've been eating it for a few days.  The ground turkey was 4 pkg/$20 at Costco and there is no fat to drain off.  I drained some liquid into an old soup can, but it was mushroom and onion sweat.  Nothing in it congealed.

Aint that the truth.  

  Well, I won 6 bucks on a Set for Life scratch ticket.  (I wonder how they thought 6 bucks was going to set me up for life.)  I'm sure they've missed a few important details with that game.

I must find out what's happened to my reply page......all my 'goodies' are gone. ???

Well I'd sure like to hear more from whoever it was that said vendors scan all the scratch tickets before putting them out.  That would certainly explain why I used to be able to keep myself in scratch tickets on-going for ages on the winnings.....and now when I win a couple bucks it's rare.

Morning P.C. and PB!
 
 It's a fricken fracken morning. My car was broken into last night and ah need to get a side window replaced this morning.  Nothing taken, fortunately.  I have a nervous stomach and -don't laugh- I also drank some cleansing laxative tea last night, so that doesn't help matters!!!
 
 My entire family is obsessive compulsive, but I can usually turn it off (as evidenced by my messy office).  The OCD behaviour starts as a response to stress, and it's starting!!!

hi and bye Tenky.
 
 Love this car.  Took youngest kid to reading class and what a drive it was.  Can't keep this thing out of 4th gear!  It corners.  It zooms.  It zig zags.  -sigh-  Hafta give it back tomorrow and go back to the AWD tank.  One problem- when I'm zooming in the manual shift mode, it's a total b*tch to find Reverse.  Is there a shortcut I'm missing?

Hi and bye also tenkani....*sniff

Sounds like you might be changing vehicles in the near future Lil Me?  

My friend's hubby gave her one of those Chrysler 300's for her birthday...fully loaded.  It has everything and does everything all while looking mighty fine.

She told me a while ago, that she would never say anything in a billion years, so as not to hurt her hubby's feelings, that all she really wants is a little car to bomb into town....park anywhere and not suck her wallet dry on a refill (although her wallet can probably handle running a lear jet...lol)

I recently....well sort of recently, went to a small car after driving a truck for YEARS.....I think I'd never go back.

 I wish.  No, actually I don't.  My car has its share of quirks, but it's great on gas, good in snow, and in the last few years I've spent a bundle on tires, brakes, rotors and head gasket.  Needs new belts and something is wonky in the steering column....but I'd rather stick with the Devil I know than the Devil I don't.  (right Devil!)
 
 I'd like to get a Thule box, though.  Would be convenient to keep the skis up there.  Plus, whenever we go camping, we end up with piling sh*t up to our knees with Rubbermaid totes everywhere.

Alrighty. What's for dinner tonight? I'm having grilled salmon with salsa. Just bought a packet of those multi-grain chips that supposedly healthy for you. OK, well, healthier option than your normal chips.

  I figured out how to pay for college. 126 hr work week. Do that for 5 months I should have enough money by then for 1 semester of college.  Still can't figure out how to pay for the second semester but I'm working on that.


  well I just figured out that if I worked at Home Depot from 9 to 5 then from UPS to 7 to 3am and then threw papers from 3a to 5 am and did that for 4 months I'd make 21,000 dollars enough for one year of school. lol

Mmmm  grapes.  Had some this afternoon.

  With my left over roast chicken, I'm making chicken, garlic mushrooms and green pepper crepes.

I was going to make enchiladas, but I have no enchiladas.  That makes it's tough.

At $2.50 an hour......yup.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 02 07 07:47
I just sauted the mushrooms, garlic and green peppers together....toss in some chunks of chicken.

Roll up in crepes with a tiny bit of leftover gravy to hold it together.  Sprinkle with a little assiago cheese....broil till it's melty ...serve with a wee dollop of sour cream and some parsley on top.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 02 07 07:48
 lol not at 2.50

the home depot job is 8hr
the UPS job is 7hr
and I make 42 dollars a night throwing papers

I have to work all those hours, can't get a financial aid package, parents can't help me on the cost, so I'm on my own.

Unless a miracle happens I've got no choice.

 Do you shop at Save On Foods?

The one in Metrotown had 3 votive candles for 50cents.  These are scented and smells great:  gingerbread, hot chocolate and roasted chestnut.  The other set  is portwine, eggnog and rum.  I brought 4 packs today.... SO CHEAP and will have to go and buy more.  A pack of 3 for 50 cents!  Can't go wrong there!

And, they had these tealight in a cup holder for 78 cents.

So many of these wonderful ideas are great if you are cooking for two or more, but when it's just for one there seem to be nothing BUT leftovers.  And the inspiration isn't there to get fancy when you know you're the only one to appreciate it.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Ahhhh...but we're worth the effort miss kitten.  It's the difference between eating and dining.  

  I often made the point of cooking for myself before I was with Mr. P.C.  Not all the time....once or twice a week at least.  And I try to make a nice lunch now and then and eat it NOT while I'm watching TV or on the computer.

All too often I find myself gazing mournfully at the fridge and settling for yet another sandwich.  Of course one I win a sizable lottery, I'll have the chef take care of that for me.  He'll probably make better sandwiches too.

 I drink soy bubble tea, cuz I've got a lactose thang.

Kitten!!!   *hugz*

Happy Tuesday!!

  As far as pearl milk tea goes there is no place local to me anymore that makes it     :(

  But Mango used to be my favorite.

I tried red bean pearl tea a few times and that was surprisingly good!

Wet smoochies to you, tenkani.  I've never tried pearl tea.  I've tried chai but didn't much care for it.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I've made red kidney bean and chorizo soup before.  That tasted good.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

 I was more wondering about the Chinese red bean dessert soup.

  Pearl tea is insanely good. And it's fun. You suck these pearls through a big fat straw.

Reminds me of something else but I won't go there.

Red bean soup is yummy!  I don't make it cuz I'll be the only one eating it, but when my mom does, I eat a few bowls.  It's best when it's cold with vanilla ice-cream in it.  Have you tried that before ladies?  I think that I one day, decided to put vanilla ice-cream in it (for experiementation) and it turned out so tasty.  :))  

  My mom also makes a yummy black sesame paste dessert thingee.  I cheat and buy the instant packages but when she makes it...OHMYGOD..divine!  Love anything with sesame.  

  Lunch is teryaki chicken bowl with strawberries.  I'm running out of strawberries...will have to go to Costco next week. :)

  I'm jeolous about your avocado and hummous...me want some too. ;)

  Tenkani, do you ever try to suck just one pearl instead of a bunch?  Whenever I have bubble tea, I try to just suck up one! ;)

She makes comfort food.  She's German as well. :))   I love her pies, her roasts/veggies... yum.... I don't often have people cook for me, so when it happens, I appreciate it.  It's so nice to have someone else cook instead of me all the time.

Hi all.

  Oh wow. Busy day. Lise Jr Jr. not settling down as much. Methinks she's teething and in a bit of a bad mood. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/6.gif)  I was so exhausted with dealing with her, I fell asleep within five minutes of her screaming into my ear. Luckily her big sister was kind enough to come into bed beside me without fuss.

  Ice cream in red bean soup? Never tried. Now that purelife said she's done it, I might do it for added bonus. I have tried a bit of coconut milk and that was fine.

  Waah! I wish I was in a cabin now. I'm so envious of D.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 03 07 03:26

2 days of skiing, family Easter dinner, Easter brunch at the seniors' home where my grandmother lives, get-together with friends from Santa Rosa.  And any other spontaneous combustion that comes my way.

Well, another busy day running around. Home Depot parking lot was mayhem.. people cut in and out everywhere... one person wont be so ignorant next time cutting out from in between cars with his cart and not looking... I smoked it with my truck and knocked there stuff everywhere.

  Dinner was good, I had two people over helping me change some tires over on a friends vehicle then move the ski tower around the yard.. then another person showed up, then another lol. So we picked up burgers, and garlic bread.

mornin all...
Russ...I have only seen one vehicle/person/shopping cart incident.  It involved an elderly lady...at night...walking slowly back to her car.  Another car began backing out of it's space..and obviously couldn't see due to the amount of groceries....so the car backed into the lady..and had her pinned to her cart...and was pushing her.  Not cool.  She was shook up really bad..nothing broken.  The guy got out of his vehicle...and then started to give another passenger shit because the guy had told him that it was all clear.  I have personally had two incidents where vehicles have been backing up unexpectedly on me and my children.  Both times I had to use physical force to get the attention of the driver.  Crazy....I guess things are a little bit worse in the city though.

Not sure about cooking ham. Must be some good recipes on the net.

There are traditionally forty days in Lent which are marked by fasting, both from foods and festivities, and by other acts of penance

[A title=Penance href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penance"][/A]  Today, some people give up something they enjoy, add something that will bring them closer to God, and often give the time or money spent doing that to charitable purposes or organizations.

  We used to have to give up sweets when we were kids.

I don't know what we're eating for Easter dinner yet.  My cousin is cooking.  I'm not a fan of turkey.  Like chicken better.
 
 Purelife- you don't actually have to "cook" ham- you can warm it in the oven in a covered casserole (or wrap in foil) with some water or juice to keep it moist.
 
 Thinking about a Last Supper meal on Thurs night.  Was going to have the kids look up what foods were eaten at that time in Israel.  I'm guessing some tomatoes, olives, dates, flat bread, olive oil.  Could be an interesting dinner project for anyone, regardless of whether they celebrate the religious aspects of the weekend.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Is that a Catholic thing? or a Christian thing in general? I think there may be a guy at work giving up a certain food for a month or so? I never really asked her about it.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Cook ham in a pan in the oven.

  I tend to like puttng small slits in my hams so marination will be easier, I like to use maple syrup on em. In the slits on the topside I will put garlic on toothpics in them. As the ham cooks bring the marinade back on top.

 That's a pretty great idea, Lil Me. I think you should go for it. Let the kids learn about different food from around the world.

Lent is mostly practiced by more traditional denominations (ie Catholic, Anglican).  The ones that follow the liturgy- celebrating different events throughout the year.
 
 For more Christians, Lent is a time of reflection.

I cooked a "smoked picnic shoulder once".  It's next to the hams at the StupidStore and cheap as stink.  It actually does need to be cooked.  I followed a recipe on the internet- you boil the thing for a while (it comes in a mesh bag, so it's easy to boil and drain) and then coat it in a mixture of syrup and spices.  It was a lot of meat, and really good for sandwiches.

A Final Thought

i am getting to the point in my life where i don't know what to say to you. it's really just your political rants and raving. your entire profile is just one big praise of canada/politics/and who knows what. i think you're lost. i can't tell you what to say, where to go, how to live, what to say, what to believe. and i wouldn't WANT to tell you those things. just remember what your true identity is. i think deep inside your heart you want to stay here and enjoy your family and friends. something has ticked you off and that's why you're leaving. i am just going to leave you on your own and let you do your own thing because i think that is what you want in your life at this point. if you ever want to come out and be SD again, you can always call me, myspace me (i'm keeping my account) and you can always find me at work or driving around in the area. peace, friend.

I usually get one of these a week from him.


"i wouldn't WANT to tell you those things"

that's bull, ever since I said I was moving, even to Seattle, he got all into hissy fits and calling me traitor and shit.

Tell them to visit Monterey and it might change their minds   *gag*

  Yeah, to most of the country Cali is summed up with a few iconic images. Surf boards and palm trees. Homosexuals. The "hollywood elite" etc etc.

  I guess it's human nature to look for simple answers to complex questions.

yup and I like California, just don't like the way its represented on tv.

Post by: Devil on Apr 04 07 01:05
The part of Cali I lived in was pretty fast. Sunnyvale, kind of beside SJ. The slow lane there was about 10 time faster than anything in Vancouver.

Agreed though, don't judge California by what "reports" say. It is a cool place.

  Speaking of not judging places by the cover, North America's first ever Outgames are in Calgary this week.

Not far from tenk's neck o' the woods. I would post pics of it, but can't do that from work. There is a vibe there that you can't explain. You have to go there to feel it in person.

  That's a good way to put it. Sometimes I think of it (certain neighborhoods in SC anyway) as Berkeley without the litter or mentally disturbed homeless people. Plus, Santa Cruz is the lesbian capital of the world. Actually, that sounds much cooler than it actually is    :(

LOL....it IS Yorkshire pudding.  Hubby loves them.  One night I had cooked a roast pork in the crock pot (makes THE BEST pulled pork) and I had some left over Yorkies.  So instead of buns for the pulled pork, I used the yorkies.  So Mr. P.C. says....why do people only cook yorkshire with beef.  He had a good point...... So the Porkshire was born.    LOL

So my excellent plan for the kitchen floor was laid to rest.  It was just too unevenly 'splotched'.  So I'm tiling again.  Only part way there because I'm doing it in sections as to not put the kitchen out of order.  Using porcelain tile and doing a mosaic design around the edge.

yep, don't worry, i'll be checking DS. ;)  

I won't check on a remote location under another ip because then, DS won't recognize it.  The last time I did that, my account got suspended due to suspicious activity. (not kidding you, SD).  Careful out there.  It bites.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 04 07 09:58
really? or are you just pulling my leg.  Because last year when I was in Seattle nothing went wrong. I've posted countless of times at my cousins house in southern illinois and then the library.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 04 07 10:01
Nope, not pulling your leg.  Why would I do a thing like that?

This was implemented a while ago, maybe at the beginning of this year when I had logged in from my night job at one time.  It sucked! :(
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 04 07 10:03
really?
So what happens when I move to either BC or Seattle in a couple months?
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 04 07 10:08
 That's hard to say, SD.  I don't quite understand the techie jargon behind how unique ip's work and such, but I think that you have to try to register your ip with DS.  I dunno how to do that though.  But, you know, TB is always a PM away if you have any problems logging on or something.  I just heard that it's a privacy thing.  
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 04 07 10:16
hmmm Maybe TB could have like a secret message pop up to varify that you are the real thing. Like a security question.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 04 07 10:18
Oh, you mean like how banks do it?  By asking for your mother's maiden name or ask for your secret 4-digit PIN?  GREAT IDEA!  I'll PM TB right away.  I'm kinda worried because I was planning to log onto DS from another computer.  I was thinking of visiting Seattle one day soon.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 04 07 10:19
I think he should design something more hi- tech than a security question.  I read that the retinal scan machines are going to be commercially avail later in 2007 (at Office Depot, etc.) because the secure websites will be asking for better ID verification.
   
 EDIT: It will be about $100 for the unit, and it plugs into a USB.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 04 07 10:21
I could be wrong.....(it happened once before)....but I don't think it matters what your IP is.  You can log on anywhere with your password.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 04 07 10:24
I was thinking like you get a yahoo email and they ask you a question like: Your favourite pet is: Ozzie. So then when they do verification the question would come up and I'd put down Ozzie.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 04 07 10:25
Don't tell us your secret answer!  I could log on under your account now and send bad PM's to everyone to smear your name or something.

Yep. Probably get to the cabin around 9-ish. Just enough time to light a fire and get the chill off, and put my son to bed. Then I will go on the deck and stare at the quiet lake. I love the lake this time of year. Too cold to swim in, but there is not a million boats on it yet.

Skiing (high of 17 degrees tomorrow!) and meals with friends and relatives.
 
 Having an impromptu Last Supper meal tonight.  Not an accurate 1st century historical reinactment of the Passover meal!  Probably will be matzo, grape juice, dates, tomatoes and some take-out Persian lamb.

Of course your IP changes.  Are you on wireless?  Meaning that you steal other people's connection?  If yes, then it's going to change because you're in a different locale.

Oh, Russ had Starfish's IP address registered with DS when she got to Bermuda.  There's a website you can check.  Google, "what is my ip" and then, it'll tell you your ip address at that location.  And, with that IP address, you email or get someone else to PM Teh Borken so that he can acknowledge your IP.

ah I've explained it before its a mystery show involving a man who is bald and his partner a lady with curly hair. The intro had two cop cars chasing.  One of the episodes I remember vividly was this mansion with different coloured rooms and people kept disappearing.  They ended up finding this hidden passage way to a place where this guy had all his kidnapped victims.

Then the last episode I remember was that the lady dective got kidnapped and was bound in a boobie trapped room, the male dective opens the door not knowing that the room will explode. The timer goes down to zero, man opens door, they cut to an outside view, room blows up.

I have no clue if it was american, british or canadian. I was three at the time and it always came on during the afternoons so it had to be in reruns. I usually only watched PBS at that age but I think it was on channel 11 at the time which was an independent channel.

Did someone say diamonds? Those are a gal's best friend.

  I once went to a diamond factory in Austria. The guy lost me on the number of cuts a diamond has etc. etc. etc. It was really funny when he asked the tour group (Contiki's 20s to 30s members) if they wanted to buy any diamond. For like $5,000 and up.

  Noooooooobody put up their hand.

  What's for din din tonight, peeps? I'm having BBQ beef ribs, brocolli and deep fried bananas on ice cream. Looking forward to passing my meal so I can tackle my dessert.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Sounds yummy, Lise.  How do you make the fried bananas?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Apr 05 07 05:31
Really easy, Ms. Lil Me. Cup of flour, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 egg and salt. Beat the batter then put bananas (cut) in. Drain off batter then pop them into hot oil. Takes mins to make and the end result is awesome. Then drain off bananas on a rack. Wait till cool then pop them on top of vanilla ice cream.

  Watch everyone love you to bits.

You know, some of the "stunts" are incredibly funny.

Then, inevitably, they will do something that gets horribly acid etched in your brain for life no matter how hard you try to forget it. I really prefer Wild Boyz, which has 2 of the cast members from Jackass but adds a little bit of cultural awareness. Plus it's much more homoerotic.

Yep, it's a federal holiday where most office workers/banks/gov'ts have the day off.  Malls/stores are still open (with exception of some).  If I were to work today, I'd get double pay.  We always have stats off.  Banks/Gov't jobs have Mondays off.  Lucky them.  I don't get Monday off.  Not a stat. :(((

I've got to get going soon...just thought that I'd drop by and say hi.

Hi Lunch Crowd!  Just got in from the mountain.  18 degrees, sunny, incredible views of Vancouver and spring powder.  Tuck straight down, so turns, no stops... wooooot!

  My lunch was turkey wrapped in Persian pebble bread, sesame snacks and chopped veggies.

well I just got back from the farm.
And boy to I have a story to tell that I think rivals Russ's.
It involves pregnant teens, a girl getting knocked up by a cousin, crop failings, cold weather, and a dog eating a chicken, and more pregnant teens.
lol


tell it tomorrow.

Morning all. Looks like it's gonna rain. So sad....... I'm hoping the rain will stay away though.

  Easter was work, work, work yesterday. Mowed the lawn, trimmed the edges, clean up the weeds (haven't been able to bend down since my last pregnancy) and gave the bushes nice haircuts. All in all, a very productive day.

  Funny how you start mowing the lawn and before you know it, all the neighbors are out in force doing it the same thing. It's like a little community going and everyone's discussing the merits of lawn care. I feel so out of the loop as I'm the only female on the block mowing......
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Apr 07 07 09:29
Good morning Miss Lise, Miss Lil Me, and da lurkers...

  I agree Lise, it was like that around us too.. there was like fifty fricken lawnmowers going at once, and I felt jealous. So I went down the back and starting cutting, grinding, and welding on my truck so I made lots of annoying noise back.

Dinner last night was Tandoori and other EI seasoned chicken, then I bbq'd it on the grill. It seemed everytime I finished a batch and turned off the 'que more people showed up.
Then what a night, lol. We ended up taking our trucks out to a place on the river for a bit of mudding and 4x4ing, then afterwards we picked up food and went to a place we been going to for years.. when as soon as we pulled in two police cars pull in behind us blocking us in. We didnt look like we deserved it at all, I mean only lifted trucks playing music dripping mud and dirt. To make a long story short, when the first officer came over to me and asked me for license and registration.. I started laughing, and he immediately got this hard look like he was going to take me down. I asked him when he joined the police, and then he recognized me. While we caught up, lol, after he took my license and regi.. the other officers gave my friends a good going over, it was pretty funny!

Hi Lise and Russ!

  Russ- kudos on being noisier than the Jones'.  Bet cha cooked better chicken than the Jones', too.  That's why they kept showing up to eat!

  Lise- how are the allergies doing?  Good on ya to get the yard work done.  I have no green thumb to speak of.

  So far so good, Russ.  (good stories as always !)

  Will be taking a zip to Purdy's later.....but other than that, more tiling.  It takes a little while to cover some distance when you're using 1 inch tile.....LOL    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Apr 07 07 10:49
Ouch! The small one inch tiles? I dont envy you, putting those in with the correct spacing must me really time consuming cause theres so many of them. I like putting in the nice time consuming 10 inch ones, you can cover alot of ground pretty quick.

  What colour you using? This is in the kitchen correct?

Yup....still on the kitchen Russ....lol

The tile is a pewtery silverish greyish tanish......lol........it's GREY......to match the stainless appliances.  They are large....13 x 13, but I'm doing a little custom design with the one inchers.  They are a combo of all the shades in the large tile.  (I'll take pics when done)

  YEah... all these pc problems are starting to annoy me as well, all these programs i have keep have conflictions with the new updated microsuck stuff. Im getting to teh point Im going to get rid of my desktop and laptop (which is less than a year old) and buy all mac stuff.

 Greetings. A quickie here.

  Allergies. Still there. I was sneezing for the first five minutes and then it went away. Weird. I dunno.... my lawn looks like it's been butchered, thank you very much, you    bleep*bleep*bleep*&amp;T*%+_+IUYY&amp;^**&amp; crows.



Russ - how do you make your tandoori sauce for the BBQ? I can't duplicate it. The ones I buy from the cans and jars suck. Don't taste the same.

  purelife - good luck on the programs. I have no idea what to do with a computer except to hit the on and off button.

  PC - wowee! Am jealous. You're such a handyperson. I may need to consult the Great Goddess on tiles later on in life as I'm planning to gut the kitchen. Hope I can learn from you.

  SD - heya dude. Hope you had fun with your grandmother.... yesterday??[/DIV]

Afternoon Lise!

Umm, I cheat. I go to one of the ten EI shops by my house on the same block that sell uncooked seasoned chicken/ beef/ fish in whichever flavour you want.

  Legs and theighs are 2.29 a pound. We bough the four different seasoned types of chicken as well as some plain.

Breasts are 4.19 a pound (i think on this one).

  Its great the place Ive been going to for years.. cause on one side you can buy meats and you turn around and they rent videos.. in the same store.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Apr 07 07 05:05
Oh. I never thought of that before. Which restaurant if you don't mind me asking?

  Crap. Gotta run. Have a great rest of the weekend, Russ.

Hi Everyone!  And Good Evening!  Gotta run. Just finished lacrosse practice and showering stinky kids.  Easter dinner tonight with the whole fam.  I don't know whether we're eating a turkey, ham or a goat.  It will be a surprise!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

yup I had fun.

Still have to tell the story, but I'll wait til after the holiday to talk about it, its very strange.

woot! My transcripts got here! But, of course they said I took only 1 year of band. lol
I know what the problem is but it can't be fixed. (I took 2 years and have a varsity letter to prove it).
Anyway Monday its off to the community college and getting my college transcript.  Then the money order (anybody know what a money order is?) then send the application in the mail and I'm done!
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 07 07 09:59
You can get money orders from your bank (well...any bank)  Also, I don't know if it's the case in the States, but here they are available at the post office too.

Just ask for a money order for X amount of dollars, and they will know the rest.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: 49er on Apr 07 07 10:01
money order is like a cashiers check.....probably you can buy at a drug store or bank.  You give them the money plus a fee they give you a money order for the value you are purchasing.  It just a guarantee of the face value.  Better of to go to your bank and ask for a cashier check......most likely free or cheaper  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 07 07 10:04
okay, great!
will they also do the exchange rate?
because 150 CAD is not 150 USD

Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 07 07 10:13
cool! Can't wait this whole process is exciting!
Its like a vacation
transcripts check
admission form check
photo check

only thing left to do is to go to the community college, get the transcript of my Spanish class and then the bank money order and I'm done.

easy peasy.
Hopefully I get in because the other school's admission process is a pain in the butt, they want act, family history of university school, where your parents work, what my sister does, if I have a dog (just kidding), third person approval, then the college essay.

Such a pain.

Hi Peeps!  Just returned from the fam Easter dinner.  *burp*  It was a good one.  Soy marinated turkey, whole roasted suckling pig, prawns, noodles, rice, salad and veggies.  Copious red wine, fruit, and the bowls of cheezies/chips/nuts candies that sit on the table and beg to be eaten.
 
 Entertainment was an Easter egg hunt, hi def hockey and Curse of the Golden Flower.  The background conversation was pretty hilarious- lots of "Where did that Chinese cleavage come from?" (in the Curse of the Golden Flower movie)

I hope that everyone else is having a wonderful day.

Only place open was Walgreens so I got symbolic things.
A brush- I always end up using her brush and she hates it, gets mad
tooth paste- I always end up stealing her tooth paste, so I bought her a tube that I won't take.

With a Napolean Dynamite card that says "Yeah It's a freakin' birthday card, okay? with the inside saying: What the heck do you think it was- It's your birthday, Isn't it?


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Apr 08 07 02:25
Gee.... to be honest, if someone got me stuff like that, I'd get into a hissy fit. A brush and toothpaste isn't exactly what I would call, 'thoughtful gifts'.

  Anyways.

  How is everyone this Easter Sunday? A bit of a sunny break, the clouds are coming over... I think there's going to be more showers this week.

  Lunch today was minced chicken balls, my own recipe. Surprisingly good once you fry the wee little lads in hot oil.

 A gift doesn't have to be expensive. It's the thought that counts.... just to that me (and I'm only speaking of me) a toothbrush and a brush isn't what I would look for when I open a present. I would prefer someone making me a meal or just go out for a decent movie.

  Anyways, I'm sure your sister will appreciate your gift. Don't listen to me. I'm just rambling.[/DIV]

I thought it was really funny.
It shows a lot of Montreal in the winter time which is cool.
I thought it was a better film then Talledega Nights, which I didn't find all that funny.

 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Apr 08 07 03:22
Really? I love Tallega Nights. Thought Will Ferell was absolutely fantastic in that one but my hubby's of the same opinion as you. He thought it was just so-so. Maybe he had high expectations and it fell flat.

Evening (almost) lovely people!
 
 Today was Easter brunch with the fam.  It was at my grandmother's seniors' home.  All was well until my oldest kid developed and allergic reaction and started hurling.  It was probably some dairy product that was stuffed into the sausage filling.  Gave him a Benadryl capsule, which he had difficulty swallowing in his state, so he let it melt in his mouth (yuck!) while lying on the couch.  He retreated to the kids' play area and watched Arthur while lying down.  When he was sufficiently recovered, we started trekking home.
 
 How I'm at home moving furniture and throwing things out.  Spring cleaning!  Even freed the dust bunnies that were trapped in the exhaust hose of the dryer.  Re-arranged my storage locker and hid my Xmas decorations in an empty utility closet --shhh-- don't tell.   Teh Strata Council master key ring has its benefits....

I have started spring cleaning my mother-in-law's kitchen. Boy, that was a mess so today I'm suffering from dust allergies. We've managed to fill up our garbage limit and we still have a long way to go. I know what you mean bout the Xmas decorations... I have way too many and it keeps getting bigger and bigger each year. Funny how when we were just married, we were the only ones in the apartment with our storage locker only 1/3 full.

We got SO much cleaning done today.  I went on all fours to scrub our kitchen floors.  It was a filthy mess!  My guy did 4 loads of laundry and still not done yet.  He needs to do 2 more loads.  I swear, he loves leaving his laundry to the last last minute!  LOL...well, he did dejunk a lot of his clothes.  It was great cleaning today.  

Then, off to grandma's for Easter dinner.  We had ham, scallop potatoes, sweet and sour cabbage, rolls, lemon meringue pie and apple pie.  I am stuffed!  :)

  I just realized..... reading this thread makes me want to clean up even more. Spring-cleaning fever has hit an all time high with everyone! Booyah!!!

  I'm seriously considering heading to the doctor and finding out what I'm allergice to. Damn nose is so red now I look like Ruldoph the Red Nose Reindeer.

  purelife - I wanna come over when you have a housewarming, k? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/2.gif) [/DIV][/DIV]

Of course Lise. (and you too Lil Me)  I'm so looking forward to a bigger place where I can decorate it the way I like it to be.  Right now, I'm surrounded by shelves with DVD's, games, electronics, comics, papers, boxes, drawers, filing cabinets.... I joke around saying that there's more space on the wall and how my guy should utilize the space on the wall by putting up shelves up there too!  Bleh! ;)  hee hee..


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 08 07 09:08
 Thanks for the concern for lil Lil Me.  He's much better.
 
 I use prescription nasal spray (flonase) and eye drops (panitol) for hayfever.  It's awesome.  I used to take oral antihistamines, but even the non-drowsy ones were making me wonky.
 
 My avatar does want poutine!

 It'll be worth taking the allergy test, Lise.  I don't know how accurate it is though.... never tried that myself.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Apr 08 07 09:10
Hmm.... never tried nasal sprays before. I've heard that it may tear the lining of your nose if you used too much?

  My dad took the allergy tests but it came back saying he's allergic to almost everything. I dunno. I'm just so sick of sneezing and eyes watering today. I fear I've inherited his genes. Waah!

  Oops. Gotta run.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 08 07 09:10
I'm surrounded by junk, as well.  Too many rubbermaid totes and plastic drawer thingies to go through.  Time to call it a day.

 pl- I'd LOOOVE to come to your housewarming.  I'll even bring oranges, cuz my mother taught me well :)
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

 Oranges for?  Are they for good luck?  

Great!  I would love to have you guys over for dinner when we have a larger place to accomadate all of your family. :))  I love hosting and making food and entertaining. :)  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 08 07 09:15
I think so.  My mom told me that you're supposed to give oranges when you visit someone for the 1st time.  Dunno why exactly.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 08 07 09:16
Oh neat.  I love oranges!  Uhhm, I do get to eat them, right?  They're not for display, right? :)  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 08 07 09:18
yep.  You get to eat them!  But maybe I'll sneak some plastic fruit in there just for fun :)

How does blood oranges taste like, Lil Me?  I remember you saying that you had some the other day?  I saw them on sale over at TNA but never brought them because I never had them before.  I didn't know why they would be more expensive than regular oranges?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 08 07 09:23
blood oranges are really good. don't know how to describe- just good.  more flavourful.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 08 07 09:26
more juicy, right?  way more healthier and juicer than the poutine.  ok, you've sold me.  I'll pick one or two up the next time I'm over at T&amp;T.

Evening PL, Lil Me, and miss Lise.

  Turkey, ham, and Butter Chicken for dinner, with ice cream cake afterwards! Wow, I can barely move.. everyone just left.

  Why is everyone cleaning? Im still piling stuff in my place. If you are looking for somewhere.. I can feed you cookies.

  Hope your lil Lil Me is getting better... I didnt realize that you get that type of reaction.

  So.. was the easter bunny good for everyone? I ended up having someone decide to be funny and hide easter eggs under my pillow.. I slept on them last night. My bedsheets are in the wash and i have new ones on for tonight.. lol.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 08 07 09:37
I'm buying easter eggs tomorrow when they're half off. :))  

LOL, perhaps it was that person's way of telling you that you need to wash your bed sheets, Russ?

Hey Lil Me.  What kind of underarm d.o. do you use, if any?  I'm having trouble finding one that will keep my underarms dry.  I've tried so many brands.... I really don't want to resort to men's.  They have strong strong smell.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Apr 08 07 09:48
LOL. Um, no they were changed two weeks ago.. I think it was my brothers way of getting back at me for putting pudding under his pillow last week.

They were chocolate eggs by the way miss Lil Me.

  Um, I meant if you lovely ladies had the cleaning bug you could carry on over here. I would feed you cookies. :)

I have so much stuff already I couldnt fit anymore.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 08 07 09:51
LOL, pudding under the pillow?  I hope that they were sealed tightly. LOL!  

Just cookies?  No milk?  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 08 07 09:53
Funny you should ask.  I'm trying to use up a Tom's of Maine herbal deoderant stick, which doesn't do much.  I apply it several times a day and it's reasonably effective for odour, but I keep sweating because it's not an anti-perspirant.  I also have a Secret anti-perspirant (came free attached to something else), but it's the gawdawful baby powder scent.  
 
 I've used the mens' Arrid Extra Dry aerosol spray (unscented) before, and it's great.  Spray it on your pits and your feet in the am, and you're good to go all day.

 Where do you buy the Arrid one, unscented?  I've checked out Zellers for men's unscented underarms and didn't see any!

I've tried the organic Jason brand and that didn't work.  I've tried all the ones on the shelves...Dove, Secret, Adidas, [span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]this green one (can't remember name...)[/span] I remember now..Mitchum's but no luck.  It sucks!

Howdy miss purelife.  

My hat's off to ya girl.  A smite fest with tenkani is one of the bravest things I've ever see......you are a true warrior....ess. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a194.gif" border=0]......now would you like a blessing or a smiting ?

I wouldn't ask for anything from you, Ms PC.  And that is said from the bottom of my heart.  

  P.S.  Don't listen to tenkani's lies.  He hasn't had his pu-erh tea and is a bit grumpy.

Well, that part I didn't mean to do.  I would not want anyone to feel my physical pain.  And that, my friend, I mean, from the bottom of my heart.

I'll go fill out a passport thing tomorrow, but its going to take 3 months to process. 3 months is July, around my birthday.  If I then applied, lol, I wouldn't get in, too late.

I'm just tempted to put down 'processing' on the passport line.

  Really, really easy and surprisingly good. I've added this recipe to the rest of my website.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Apr 10 07 09:09
we are redoing a side of the basement into a suite, and installing kitchen stuff there as well. Did the plumbing of natural gas into where the stove will be, kinda got a layout of where the cabinets and rest of the stuff will be. We were looking at Ikea the other day and stole some of their ideas for cabinets and we think we will be getting a few of their cabinets to add to the ones we want to do. They have cheap crap counter tops, so we want to see about getting some stuff thats the basics off them, then have our own marble counter tops put on. The idea so far is also to have an island come out to give it the new touchy feely hippy look and stick the dishwasher and compacter under there.

So far.. subject to change. lol.

Hullo miss PC! Good evening...

Sounds good! Its funny how great minds think alike hey? Or is it fools seldom differ? Hmm....

  Hey, when you do your tiling, you use the comb like spade to put the backing down then stick the tiles down.. but what are you using for your spacing? I think I might have asked you but Im forgetful... I tend to use toothpicks, rather than the storebought plastic things.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 10 07 09:15
Sounds awesome Russ.  IKEA has some fabulous ideas.  My taste isn't for the contemporary, but they do it so well, that it STILL catches my eye.

  Careful with marble or granite countertops.  They look spectacular, but are nasty in function.  Marble is very pourous and both are highly suseptible to stains.  Red wine glass ring?  Forget it....it's there forever. Granite even gets water rings.

  I was surprized too Russ.  I would have thought there was nothing more durable than something as natural and impervious as granite.  It's a pain in the butt for fingerprints and water stains.  

What would I recommend?  Hmmm....not sure what look you're going for, but Corian has some finishes that are visually identical to granite and/or marble, but a thousand times more durable and functional.  The drawback????  It's very expensive (yes...even more than granite or marble)  Not MUCH more....but a little more.

  Tile's not for everyone, but that's what I'm doing.  I like the look and I like how it functions.

Ack! I appologize Lil Me, when I say who's OCD, its the Russ way of saying, "what does OCD mean". Its one of my little quirks. I did not mean to imply I knew what OCD meant and who IS OCD.

  Interesting PC... I thought I had done my research into it, guess not. What about Marble then? And this Durian (sp?) comes in similar looks to granite with natural colours?

Before my parents redid the kitchen, we used to have tile in the backwall and countertop. There now is the typical 80's countertop with tiles backing. I like tile backing onthe back wall, but Im not a fan of tiles on the counters, Im finicky in the fact I like a flat surface the whole way. I remember intensely disliking the tiles.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Dont worry Miss Pitt, I tend to have the same feelings as PC. Keep your chin up and Karma will have a way of getting back to the other person, they always get their come uppance. It might take a while and you might not see it.. but they will!

I know its easy for us to say when we arent in your shoes... but you are the better person, and it will work out in the end.

  I tend to have the philosophy of just nodding and smiling, and trying my best not to let things bother me too much. At the end of the day, its not worth getting too worked up over things that you cant change or be that way anyway at the end of the day. While that sounds good I still get mad and bang things with a hammer cursing it blue.

Yer doin good Miss Pit !

    Russ, I would recommend asking people who have it as opposed to asking at the Home Depot or taking my word for it.  They're in the business of selling and I'm now biased.....lol....

  My next door neighbour went all out and got the granite counters....for everything.  The counters, the island, their bar.  They have cloudy 'stains' all over them.  They've tried every product...even specialized product FOR granite....no worky!  She's had them for less than a year, and she hates them.  I used to have access to a lot of super houses when I was doing draperies and decorating, and almost everyone that had them was frustrated with keeping them clean. (except for those who's kitchens were 'show pieces'.)

I have a few relatives that have them and LOVE them. Thats why I was asking why you thought what you did about them and why.. and what you recommended.

  I take the home depot salesmen recommendations with BIG grains of salt. I too want firsthand experience and stories.. I was interested in what you had to say.

  That being said I have no idea how much effort it is to clean and maintain them. That was the first I had heard about that, I didnt ask my relatives that aspect of it.. I will be for sure very soon! They have black with speckles granite countertops. Both of them. Have had them for a few years now.

Captain morgan spiced rum is good.. my redheaded brother drinks that. That and Havana Club Cuban rum, you get drunk off of jsut the fumes from that.

  However for the Russ... Im a die hard fan of Bacardi Gold. When mixed at the right mixture with coke and a slice of lime it blends completely with the coke so that you cant taste the alcohol, but its like a smooth tasting limey coke with a twang. mmmm.

  I go through a 60 of bacardi gold every three weeks or so. I only buy 60's of bacardi gold, lol.

   Normal people really.. most of the piracy that takes place now is in Africa, Indochina (indonesia is REALLY bad right now according to a few friends), and some parts of south america. Think of the 'pirates of the carribean' in capt ron... as its true, fast boats with guns. They rob what they want off the ship and rob the crew, or kick the crew off the boat and steal the vessel and cargo. Happens alot more often than what the news reports.

I'm sure you'll be great at the Geo/planning, but you don't need to travel halfway across the continent to do so.  Malaspina College is seriosly probably a great school for the Islanders who have no other choices, but you don't want to be travelling from a U.S. metropolis to Nanaimo for college.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Apr 10 07 11:34
Malaspina? Is that where you applied SD? Thats the only college in Nanaimo that springs to mind.

Its a good college but mediocre in the grand scheme of things... why would you go all the way there from the US?

 well I have very little options.
No school within a 900 mile radius will take me.
I couldn't live with myself if I went to school here, the state, region drives me bonkers.
The other school in Seattle, PLU, only has truely one option for me and that's politics and law. I'm tired of politics.
It can't be that bad, 1,500 of the 10,000 students are from overseas.

 not from the videos on youtube I've seen. They had an english, german and irish kid talking.
I really don't care if its lower or not, when its the only school that will give me a chance, lets me find myself.  I'll take it.
PLU might have the famous politicians visit and politicians in the U.S. Congress and the King of Norway show up and Walter Mondale, its still only politics for me. I don't care for it anymore.  Why should I go to a school and into a profession that is fueled by anger by me.  Politics is my nuclear bomb. Don't care if I could study abroad in Norway or London University.

Washington University would laugh at me I wasn't the top of my class kid and didn't graduate from a top high school. And my ACT score sucks.
Saint Louis University- is Washington University x 10
University of Missouri Saint Louis- too expensive and wouldn't accept me because of my low ACT score

University of Missouri- I spent a weekend there, that school is NOT me, I'm not on the 6 year plan thank you
Missouri State University- god no, I'll get shot, its Springfield MO, wouldn't accept me anyway, bad ACT score not in the 20s.
Southeast Missouri State- no thanks too close to the farm, boring, and land of Rush Limbaugh

Its the SAT with a 1-32 or 34 rating can't remember

all the schools I mentioned demand a 25-30 ACT and only accept those types of students.
I got an 18.
A monkey got a 14.
I am retarded idiot bum to the elitist schools in my area.
plus my gpa is 2.6
I dropped out of high school to work
finished high school on an internet school (even though its pretty famous apparently Maria Sharapova graduated from it, so I could say she went to my school lol)

Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 11 07 12:22
 I don't care what people precieve about the place, its just a place where I can hit the reset button on my life and start a new.  My school career isn't stopping at where ever I end up. If I got into Mala I'd then try for my masters at UBC or SFU. It isn't where you start it's where you finish that matters.

My university choices are hard to come by, I looked everywhere and only certain places will accept me. So I can't be picky.

Another place I looked at was Concordia in Montreal. I met everyone of the requirements somehow except for the ACT and that the last day to apply was March 1st.

Its cheaper for me to go to school in Canada. If I went to PLU I'd leave with 100,000 plus dollars in debt in student loans. Even in state schools here are more expensive then the Canadian schools I looked at.

I'm only interested going to school in the Pacific Northwest so that takes a lot of places out. Mainly do to my distain of most of the country. Another reason why I can't go to the Seattle school and go into politics. I don't want to die of a heart attack at 40 from stress.

And why should I be handed something when I have yet to prove myself?
Another place I looked at was Kwantlen in Surrey but they don't have student housing.

  Nothing wrong with Malaspina.. relax. I was just surprised that you would come to canada and go to malaspina, when you had other schools in the states that are comparable. I have had a number of friends go to college then transfer into Uni for similar reasons to you, its done by many people. Most of them went to Langara or Kwanlen though... Kwantlen is in New West isnt it? Im sure it is...

  Ok, Im off. Good luck with the surgery tom SD

Kwantlen is in a bunch of places. 4 campuses main one in Surrey though.
I like Kwantlen, problem is they don't have dorms and they'd but me in a homestay. The idea of a homestay creeps me out a bit.  I rather live alone or with college kids.

Who knows though, probably will apply there too.
Anyway I'm late for work.

not lucky...don't have to travel..too far to get to work...don't like the cold...and don't like the color of dirty snow.   The amount of condensation we have received in our area...is likely going to cause flooding.  And my yard is a frickin mess!!!!!!!

I haven't thought about lunch yet, but I've got dinner figured out.  It's going to be ground turkey/veg soup in the crock pot cuz it's going to be an insane night.
 
 after school- running club (I'm today's coordinator)
 home- eat soup
 music class - oldest LM
 lacrosse practice- oldest LM

 homework and bed.

OMG Tenkani!  HI HI!  Let's not fight anymore, my dear.  I found this poem just for you:

  And when the stars are shining brightly
In the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish
Send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy
For all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded
By the comfort and protection of..
The highest power.
In lonely hours.
The tears devour you..
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea

I've got lots of cleaning to do this weekend. :((  If the weather is nice, I'd like to go for a picnic or at least, a walk in the park.  (not sure which park yet. )

  Tonight, I have my very first rowing practice on the water.  Wish me luck.  I really don't want our boat to tip in the FREEZING FREEZING water!  Yikes!  That "row row row your boat" song gives me a whole new meaning.  I'd be singing that song while we row.  :)

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: PostMonkee @(^_^)@ on Apr 11 07 04:14
Baboons!!??!?

Do you know how to tell a bonobo from a baboon?

A bonobo won't pull off your arm if you irritate it. It will just make sweet love to you.

  More info...

  For a baboon the uppercrust always eats first. The lower you are in the troop pecking order, the later you eat. So if you actually feed a baboon, you are unintentionally relegating yourself to the lowest level in the primate hierarchy. As the years have passed, the baboons have come to expect handouts as their rightful due and can become quite irritated when they are not forthcoming.

But baboons believing tourists are their personal valets is not the real problem. What is the problem is the baboons carry this attitude with them as they wander away from the national parks and into areas where modern agriculture and livestock breeding are replacing the traditional nomadic and pastoral lifestyles. There the baboons' idea that the food is being raised for their own personal benefit does not sit very well with the local farmers and herders trying to make a living.

Incidents of man versus baboon are regularly reported in the press. In some regions, baboons are reported to ransack homes and snatch chickens, goats, and other small livestock. The tried and true method for handling such intrusions, that is, making noise and shooing the interlopers away, isn't always best for dealing with baboons. Unlike most animals, baboons are quite capable of learning from their human neighbors and have no hesitation to responding in kind.

A young man who learned this the hard way was John Oluka of Uganda. When he saw a baboon in the family garden, he picked up a stick and started to drive the animal away. Instead of scampering off, the animal turned the tables on John, grabbed the stick and began to flog him as a number of incredulous villagers looked on.

Both. At the same time.

Hi Lise and everyone else! Lacrosse was invented in Canada. It is also popular in parts of the USA too.

  Pitbulla, I think that is what is slowing me down from moving to a small town. As beautiful as BC small towns are, I get really freaked out when I realize everybody knows everyone else's business. I don't know if I would like that too much.

Although, living in a forest, with a lake close by would make me happy.

I remember getting bullied in high school because of my ethnicity. The things kids tell you when you're that young... they bite real deep. They don't really go away but they made me stronger. Katrina Thomas. That was her name. And her whole gang of girls that went with her. Blonde and mean, really mean. She once spit on a friend of mine simply because she was her way.

  Funny though. She and I have crossed paths when we were in high school but as we got into our senior years, we became wary enemies. We don't talk to one another but we understood our boundaries and somewhat respected each other. We were both in art classes and we grudgingly (sp) admired each others' work pieces.

  I would have loved to see her in person and see what she looks like or if she's married or anything.

   I'm of the opinion that children learn a lot from their parents. Much of what their parents do influences them a lot. Not to mention what they watch on the telly. That's why I'm always so conscious of doing things around Lise Jr. She watches and learns. It's kinda scary because you don't want to teach her the wrong thing.

 Hi Peeps!
 
 I think people (of all ages) are mean because they are unhappy.
 
 I begrudingly keep in contact with people from HS.  I helped to organize a class reunion many moons ago, and I subscribe to school alumni email updates, etc.  I see close HS friends once in a while, but that's about it.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Noodles does sound good.

It's fried chicken day today  *shudder*

Maybe I can talk them into fixing me a turkey sammich.

The Mexican girls what make sammiches downstairs.

They don't understand what "hot meat" means, but that's Ok.

Morning tenkani, Lise, Ms Pit, Lil Me, Russ, Devil and everyone else. :)

  haven't thought about lunch yet.  I might go out and buy lunch or decide to eat the leftover lasagna I have in the fridge.  I think that I wouldn't mind a walk though..work is driving me bonkers now!

  H.S. - nope, don't even keep in touch with anyone.  I saw this one gal I graduated with but didn't bother saying hi. I dunno why but I really don't feel like talking to anyone after I finised work.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 12 07 11:30
Heya pl!
 
 Since we've moved out to the sticks, we live in a de facto small town atmosphere.  Has its definate +ve and -ve attributes.  Very friendly, everyone knows everyone else's business.  The huge drawback for me is that you see the same people all the freaking time, and some people don't respect your personal time- they will corner you in the bakery and try to have a business meeting.  It's hilarious.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 12 07 11:35
I agree with that Lil Me.  I don't like it when people try to pry into my personal business and then gossip about you.  I've been told that at a neighborhood (or even at work) there's always someone who knows everything about everyone else.  But, if you don't share anything with them, they'd think that you're weird.  I prefer to let them think that I'm weird as I always keep my personal life seperate from work, for example.

  I'm at work to do my job, not to make friends, unless there's one or two that I can trust. :)

Hola Purelife, Lil Me, Sportsdude, Gophie and Pitbull!

Happy Lunch!!

I ended up having a chicken sammich at burger king because I needed to get out of the office.

Have any of you tried to use the Internet to look up old friends (like from school) and re-establish contact? Is that creepy?

My experiences of it have been superb. Almost all the people I managed to get in touch with lived overseas (Japan, China - you name it). It's been great to remember what we did, talk about what we've done, how we've developed and speculate about what we are likely to do: in the main, nothing's changed at all. The old ideals still burn as brightly.

 I'm not interested in seeing any of mine, either.  Just a morbid curiosity about where they are, what they look like, and if their lives have become any less of a train wreck.  (I dated some real winners!)

He asked for a raise though, so I don't know if I will let him post for me anymore.

Don't feel sorry for that vile creature.

He is waited on hand and foot. His cage is cleaned. He's brought food. Every week or so he manages to slip out and molest anything in sight. The little shit's never worked a day in his life until I hired him for this gig and he blew it     &gt;:(

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: tenkani on Apr 12 07 03:52
Yes.

If he likes you, he will sex you.

If he doesn't like you, he will sex you.

If he doesn't care about you one way or the other...he'll still most likely sex you.

It's the bonobo way. And to think, some scientists believe that we share a common ancestor! Disgusting.

 Ugh, what a day.

First I over slepted, I turned off the alarm clock at 11:30am and then immediately woke up and it said 3pm, shit, my counselors appointment was 2pm! ughhhhhhhh.

Then I went to Forest Park got my transcript, okay good.  But then I went to my bank to get my money order and the bank was closing at 4:30pm! Why does a bank close so early? ugh. Then to make matters worse, the teller was like "we can't help you go down the street to Bank of America." lol. Gullable me said okay, and went down the street.  Then I talked to the Bank of America people for like 15 minutes, they didn't even understand what I was saying. Then I went "well the First Bank people sent me here."  All the employees rolled on the floor with laughter.

oye vie. I'm such an idiot. Then I went to the mexican restuarant down the street to wallow in my stupidity. It was very good.

I'm coming down with a sinus infection though, Its passing through the family. I'm coughing up a storm
*cough* *cough*

well tomorrow I'm going back to my bank, get the money order thingy settled and then off the the post office to end this debacle and send this stuff away!

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 12 07 08:17
Hiya Sawdust, Pitbull and Lise!
 
 You can buy whatever flavour perogies you want- potato/onion, cheese, or bacon.  They're nummy.  Serve with fried onions (+optional bacon + Ukranian sausage), sour cream and any other cholesterol-laden product you can find.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sawdust on Apr 12 07 08:21

Hey Sawdust, send some good ole fashion steak this way, eh?

  EDIT: Is that all to it, Ms. Pit? Wow. Sounds easy enough. I think I'll try getting a packet and see. Sour cream on top? Like cold on top of hot perogies?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 12 07 08:25
so just skip the bacon part Lise and you'll be fine.

speaking of bacon.

I had this spaghetti at the Olvie Garden the other day that had mushrooms and bacon bits instead of meat balls. mmmmmm it was good.

Ms Pitts directions are bang on. Don't do what I did the first time I tried them. I checked the cooking directions and one of the options was deep fried. Sounds good. I heat up the oil, put in the 'rogies and start to salivate. I think I missed the part about thawing BEFORE deep frying. Exploding perogies everywhere Lol.

teehee! sawdust!  another thing...don't just throw the perogies in a pile in the frying pan...in their boiled condition...they are delicate...and will stick to anything they can....place gently...and gently flip till they start to solidify on the outside

The real bibimbap (dol sot bibimbap - dol sot means "hot pot") is indeed served in a cast iron thingy. It looks like a giant black soup bowl. And yes yes yes fried egg on top and as much hot sauce as you can stomach is mandatory!!

  It's Korean.

 Ok... sorry thought you said it was Philipino. I have been thinking about it for a while now everytime you mention it.. Ive had it. In China at one of the popular newer restaurants that have sprung up everywhere, that are a combination bubbletea/coffee/trendyfood. I was curious what nationality it was origionally.

  LOL SD.. Most men would disagree with you.

    Wow, I think I have finally met someone that goes to costco more than me! I thought I took the cake with that..

  You are doing better than me at taxes stuff.. Im still behind there. lol.

  Pizza and movies? Well, we watched tourista's last night. Little more morbid than what we thought it would be.. and alot different than what we perceived it to be.. and DEFINATELY not an option for 'Heckle and Jeckle'.

  We might go Costco shopping tonight too.  But if not, it's home to relax.

 I don't go to Costco THAT much.  Once a week is regular shopping, right?  I start going when we're low on soy milk.  Can't beat that 3 pack of Silk Soy at Costco.

I remember being a huge turtles fan.
But this was when the saturday morning show was the comical one while the orginial comic book was dark.
Then all of a sudden they switched on us, a nuclear bomb or something blew up in New York and everything went super dark and the turtles didn't have eyes. Got sad for the old TMNT and never watched it again.

I did watch the Batman cartoon series though.

Dang! Missed Russ. Have fun there, bud.

  Just had to go in and give my blood test. Crap. Didn't realized I had to do a two hour limit plus two needle pricks. Wonderful.

  While I was waiting in the waiting room, I overheard a bunch of elderly gentlemen talking about WWII and what they were doing. Fascinating. One was a pilot with some fancy name and another worked on building a submarine that held a nuclear warhead. I was so engrossed in their story, I hadn't realized I was reading the same line on a magazine page for 5 minutes.

  Of course with talks on war, they had to talk about the Presidente. So funny. One guy asked, "What's your take on George Bush?" There was a note of distain about him, a bunch of 'tsk tsk' and 'moron' at one point. And two of the gentlemen lived in the states for years and years and years and do not hold much respect for Mr. Bush.

  Well, that was my morning.

Hi Sawdust!  How did the sink go today?  And what's for dinner besides brown trout?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sawdust on Apr 13 07 06:50
Hey there Lil Me!

Lol. Reno's never go the way you plan or hope. The sinks all ready to go in and 90% of the counters have a new sub base in &amp; ready to tile, but there's always one stubborn part of the equation. Oh well, thats why liquor was invented.

Din Din tonight will be BBQ chicky breasts (skin on of course (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif) ) baked tater &amp; ??

A good day for you today?

Hi Sawdust.  It was ok.  Didn' t get as much done in the office as I'd hoped- but went for a run, went to Costco and booked my car's servicing appt.
 
 Dinner is chicken, too.  The garlic red chile chicken from Costco is in the oven now.
 
 I thought you were brave to attempt plumbing on Friday the 13th, because I've had serious bad luck in the plumbing dept!  Last summer I was packing for holidays and garburated every remaining vegetable in the fridge...hopelessly plugging the p-trap.  So I took it off, drained the pluggage into a slop bucket, and didn't realize that the plastic coupling ring had fallen into the bucket.  I realized this after I had emptied the bucket into the toilet.  Ooops.  Mr LM was unavailable at the time.  So off I went to Rona, to discover that they don't sell just the coupling ring.  Solvent welding is totally outside my existing skill sets, so the guy at Rona just took a coupling off a new p-trap unit and gave it to me.  I could still hear the laughter as I exited the store.
 
 Mr LM thought this whole thing was pretty funny until we returned from California and found that the toilet was draining...v e r y   s l o w l y due to the coupling lodged in there.  A week of snaking and taking the toilet off I don't know how many times, until we found the lost coupling.  It was baaaaaad.
 
 So I hope that story adds some levity to your situation.

Lol, too funny. I've had more than a few of those type of things happen over the years. Well earned experience? I can't be too suspicious about a Friday the 13th, I was born on a 13th.

So, what kind of brew is in teh bottle?
 
 I'm just drinking run of the mill (literally) Okanagan white zinfandel.  I make a summer batch of fruit wine every year (the patio wine...) but it's still in the carboy.  My red is bottled (Old Vines Zinfandel- similar to the Quail's Gate Old Vines Foch) but I'm trying to age it 'til Xmas, so I pretend it's not there :)

You might be jealous, Mr Sawdust, as my Uncle found an extremely old bottle of Wiser's (1970s) that had belonged to his father.  It was served at his father's funeral dinner.  Unfortunately, I had to decline!  I lost a few battles with bottles of Crown Royal and Wild Turkey in my youth, and can't drink teh brown stuff unless it's single malt scotch.
 
 I'm hoping to finish the Director's Cut of Das Boot (once Heckyl and Jeckyl are finished watching Spongebob Squarepants and they're off to bed) tonight.

Evening all.

I ended up going to our company's wrap up party to celebrate end of RRSP season.  I was just there to eat and drink and chat with a few people I knew.  Didn't stay there for long.  

How are you Lil me?

 Greetings, Missy Lil Me and purelife.

  Just got back from Home Depot. Boy, it feels good to be there around this time. No crowds, no hunting down staff members who avoid you like the plaque. I actually had two came up and ask if I needed any assistance.

  Going to tackle my bathroom tiles. The grout is coming apart. It'll be my first time doing this.  I bought a kit, seems easy enough. How hard can it be? Remove grout, add on grout and smooth, right? Easy peasy. Got them funny looking gun. Reminds me of our gun that we use to squirt dental materials onto a crown prep.... the theory is the same, aim, shoot and squeeze. Nothing to it. *fingers crossed*[/DIV]

 Lise- are you re-grouting all the vertical tile, or just repairing sections that need it?  Or, are you scraping the section where the tub meets the tile and re-grouting that with silicone?  Beware the fumes and don't touch your hair (like I did)!

Home Depot has one of the best customer service I've ever seen.  I love my experiences whenever I walk in there. :))

    Most dinosaurs are related to the feathered species. I know that. The velociraptor species, for example, have been know to micmic bird movements. (theorized)  Besides, didn't they find some protein DNA in a T-Rex recently? Sciencists have always disputed that dinasours were not cold lizards but warm blooded creatures for a long time.

 --
 Good question!  You totally want to keep your work area dry (the gap betwen the tub and the tile), but you also want to create some downward pressure by filling the tub (say 2/3 full) with water to mimic the condition under which you expect the caulk to perform- ie, you're having a bath.  This will ensure the seal is adequate.
 
 Don't worry, I'm no home handy expert.  I've just made enough mistakes over the years.  Plus, I listen to Shell Bussey in my sleep on weekend mornings when my radio goes on!

 Lise- I hope you see this before you begin your project today.  I also learned this one the hard way.  Mr LM was unavail for consultation at the time.  The tubes of silicone don't actually tell you HOW to open them.  I think they assume that everyone knows this, but I didn't.  &lt;insert laugh track here&gt;  You need to cut the tip on an angle with a knife, making a SMALL hole.  Then you need to put a LONG nail up the opening to puncture the inner tube.  If you don't do these two things before you load the tube onto the gun, the tube will puncture and make a helluva mess.  Seriously, I think I screwed up 3 times before I called my friend for help, and he talked me through it while stifling his laughter.

Hi Pitbull!  Hi Sawdust!
 
 Yes, Sawdust.  There are still silicone fingerprint remnants around the place, if you look closely.  My Fix-It problems tend to snowball because I panic and that leads to even more mayhem.
 
 Mr LM oft repeats the Red Green axiom "If the women don't find you handsome, at least let 'em find you handy", as he "undoes" the problems I've caused over the years.
 
 Happy Renos today, Sawdust.  Kep yer stick on the ice.

here's more advice for Lise

.....release pressure on caulking gun each time you stop, otherwise caulking continues to ozz out

.....wet your finger and run it over the new caulking bead while its still wet, this will give you a smooth surface

I agree with this advice miss lise... Athough sometimes the tip unscrews and you can puncture the seal then screw the tip back on.

I loved Children of Men. It was a realistic plot although futuristic. It is VERY high action.

I think the war scenes are really realistic.

  Im still attempting to make closing boxes on the side of my truck. Ive got a loggers box on the back and its a bit of wasted space above the wheel wells. So Im making sides and lids on teh top.. its a bigger job than I thought cause I cant find anything I got for it so I have to look, not find it, then go to home depot or the metal shop.

  So... yeah. Im making a big mess, lots of noise, and hopefully not another welding burn.

 I agree LM.. I had 5 bowls of soup last night for dinner and theres still half a massive SS pot of turkey lurkey soup. Its sure good though!

  Wish I had your problem. My dad found a 'deal' on drywall and called me to go out to Langley with him. FAWK, the traffic there and back was the pits, and on top of that he neglected to mention that he was buying THIRTY FIVE sheets. Blast.. Im SO sore and tired from loading them then carrying them 160' from the lane in the back yard into the basement. At least my brother helped me unload them.. as my dad stood around crowing about the deal he got. They had some damage and the guy couldnt use them.

  I never even got to touch my truck this afternoon. Ah well, theres always tomorrow.

  The traffic around my area was the absolute pits as well.. they had the dhaliwal parade or whatever it is. Cops and people parked everywhere. There was a swarm of people going down our front road, as it was closed off to cars.. I thought I was downtown for a while.

Russ looks like Hercules. I swear it. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Greetings all. Nice to see ya back, PC.

  Hope you're getting better, SD. Nothing like a bad cold to get you down.

  We went to Maplewood Farm today. Delightful. The kids love the animals.... frankly, I could do without the smell but there's something so precious about kids screaming with joy when they see a goat or donkey or chickens running about. Good place to have birthday parties and damn cheap too.

Hi Lise....thanks.  Jumped on the 8:30 ferry this morn.....got home around 11:30 and have been tiling ever since.  Just winding it up for the night.....95% done, but my hands can't takes no more !

  It is lovely to watch kids have a good time like that.....they're so taken with the animals aren't they?

     Did not happen. I..... er... chickend out. I took one look at the bathtub with the silicone gun in hand then looked out the window and decided we should shove this project under the door and take advantage of the good weather. Hehe. You can tell I'm all gung-ho about this.

Hey Peeps!  Anyone still awake?  Got back from a grrrrrreat dinner at Osteria Napoli (1st and Renfrew) for my Dad's Bday.  Oh, we had so much fun.  We were the rowdy Chinese people (with a few "L.F." ringers) at the front table.  Give us 5L of wine and the accordian music, and do you think we can shut up? :)  The LM family needed to get ourselves back home to the sticks, so my blood alcohol is on the low end.   My Dad sure had a good time, though!!!

  Aaaaaa.....you know I'm just poking fun...right?  You can have fun doing almost anything if you're open, and in the right frame of mind.  

A bunch of us actually played a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey once.....we had a blast.  We had a good time just laughing at our idiocy.  It was a hoot.

  Yup....home sweet home.  Got a ton of the tiling done today.  Mr. P.C. did all the prep for me, which was awsome.  Should finish up the tiling by tomorrow, and the grouting on Monday.  I had to quit tonight because the mortar eats my hands.

  It was bizarre.  I had actually bought these tile a couple summers ago.  I was looking for a plain white high gloss tile.....couldn't find it.  So the guy at the tile store says....."I have a ton of stuff at home if you want to come over and have a look"   (danger danger danger....but I went anyways)

  So I get a heap o tile for 10 bucks.  The plain ones, and the bull-nose ones (tons of those).....only problem was that I knew it would be close quantity wise.  So I laid out all the tile before I started, and there was zero room for error.  I made an error on ONE TILE.  

        BUT....I found one lone tile to finish the job.

  No lawn SD.  Every couple of years, I get energetic and throw some seed on the one 'open' area we have and grow a lovely little patch of green.  It never gets established enough to require a cutting through the summer.....but on the other hand, it never gets established enough to come back the next year either.  We're too heavily treed here to get enough sunshine to maintain a lawn.   Works for me.  There's no shortage of 'green' here.

 Hey Sportsdude,

 I believe you have a lot to contribute to the forum, but you know whenever you post , you almost always turn it back into yourself. People here care about your feelings and aspirations and wish you nothing but the best in your life, I think you know that. But for Christsakes look at the tone of the threads and if you can't stay on track with them, and not turn them into questions about your life, as opposed to responding to the tone of the thread, take a breath before posting.

 You are a smart and caring guy and your presence here is great! Just think about if you are staying on topic or turning it back into yourself.

 A Friend

 The oldest LM kid is playing lacrosse in a tournament today.  He's not particularly athletic, but loves to play.  I'm trying to *deep breath* be supportive and encouraging.  As parents, we want the best for our kids, and we want to see them happy.  I was worried about lacrosse before he started last year, as it felt like a recipe for disaster- but he's hanging in there.  He's getting a lot of exercise and showing definate signs of improvement.
 
 My parents never wanted me to do anything that I wasn't naturally "good" at.  I'm not the most co-ordinated bear, so they never encouraged me to play sports when I was a tyke.

I believe in doing whatever the kid wants to do, even if he or she is really bad. If I had a kid I'd be super proud of him or her in any sport they'd do even if they weren't the best.  Sports as kids are about having fun.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 15 07 08:41
I think it's great to get kids into sports.  If they show an interest, it doesn't matter if you think they'll be good at it or not....go for it.  You never know where they'll find their niche, and you never know what they might take away from a sport even if they're bad at it.  My only rule of thumb, is it has to be their choice....and if it is.....they have to stick out the season.  No bailing on their team mates.

Soccer
Baseball
Basketball
Swimming

Then later on in high school
Football
Tennis
Golf

Then after high school:
Rowing

I ended up leaving baseball, basketball, soccer when it went from 'having fun and making friends' to cut throat and 'we must win or else'.

Only sport I wish I could have played was hockey, but dang me and 5am practices just don't jive. lol

childhood should be about experiences and learning. Why deprive, plus it gets the kids out of the house and excercise.

 The lacrosse game was fun, even though we got slaughtered 6-0.  Young Master LM played a good defence.  Despite his size (a foot shorter and half the weight) of his opponents, he tried to single-handedly clear the house on every shift.  Unfortunately, he often ended up lying on the ground... ah well, he ran hard and earned his McLunch.

 Greetings. What  a weird day. Rain then sunshine then rain... etc. Like the weather couldn't make up its mind. Decided to head down to Guildford Mall. Looks pretty dead place to me... no wonder they're thinking of tearing down the place and building a newer looking place.

  I gotta ask yer, Ms. Lil Me about those pan-seared halibut cheeks. Sounds mighty interesting and tasty. Do you buy like the whole head fish? Or am I missing something here?[/DIV]
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 15 07 05:32
No, you can buy just the cheeks from a fishmarket or whatever.  I got some from the Stupidstore, but TNA probably has them, too.
 
 EDIT: Damn, that was some foul halibut.  Took it out of the package, and it smelled like it had been soaked in ammonia overnight.  Word to the wise- don't buy fish from the StupidStore.  Given the customer service issues at the StupidStore, I'm not even going to bother asking for a refund.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Bummer Lil Me.  Aside from being a waste, you have to miss out on yer treat. Stupidstore (and it's hilarious that you call it that, because that's what I call it too...LOL) is the last place I'd consider getting seafood.  Strangely enough, Costco has excellent seafood....when they have it.  I do all my shopping at QF, except for seafood.  Seems to be hit and miss.

  There are lots of good places here for seafood...so I usually get it from a seafood place.....or you can get it right off the boats here as well.

  I would definitely take it back to the stupidstore and get my money back.....I hate it when these places get away with selling crap.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 15 07 06:31
Hi P.C.!  I know I should take it back, but I just can't be bothered.  If it was from Safeway, then I would.  Definately.  But it's such a pain at the customer service desk at StupidStore- take a number and wait while the staff count huge garbage bags full of pop bottles.
 I agree about Costco seafood- or Thrifty foods.  Safeway is ok.
 My mom buys fish from T&amp;T, Lonsdale Quay, Granville Island or Steveston ONLY.  But I don't have time to drive all over hell's half acre for dinner.
 
 How was your day, P.C.?
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 15 07 06:59
Good thanks Lil Me.  Finished the counters today, so all I have left is the backsplash.  All the counters needed new sub-base and hubby did all the prep for me while I was away which was so nice.  He does things very differently than I do.....like...correctly.  He's very precise, which made my job much easier.  I'm a 'just do it' kind of person, and he's a planner......thank gawd for that.  It's looking pretty fine.....another day or two will have 'er beat.

  Sorry about the game....but it sounds like Lil Lil Me had a good time, and that's what it should be all about.

Evening to all you ladies. :)  *looks around to see if there are any guys posting away*

Dinner was caesar salad, steamed asparagus and herbed baked chicken.  Yum. :)  

Yeah, seafood at Stupidstore is terrible.  I would only trust the frozen prawns or scallops.  I don't trust their fresh stuff.  Steveston has the best seafood, right from the boat.  I know seafood dealers bring millions of cash in suitcases and buy cases and cases of fresh salmon.

Hey y'all,

  Oh ah, that sucks about the fish there, Missy Lil Me. I totally hear ya. I think I bought some trout there one day and boy, did they stunk to high heaven once I removed the package. Must have been sitting there for a long time. I usually get their salmon, they're sorta fresh looking-ish.

  Debating whether I should make fish head curry. My hubby says 'no, no, no, no, no'. He doesn't want to see eyeballs peering out at him but I tell him, they're my favorite part to eat. BHAHAHAHA. *evil chuckle*
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I agree with you, Lise.  My cousins and I fight for the fish eyes and cheeks at dinners (not Mr LM who thinks we're crazy).  Did you ever play with the chicken heads when you were a kid?  We still have immature moments where we're sneaking the chicken heads onto people's plates or hiding them in people's bags.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Apr 15 07 07:17
Ahahahaha..... no but my dad would always reach out and grab the head and start a puppet show for everyone. The first time my hubby saw a deep-fried chicken head, he literally was so grossed out he couldn't eat for the rest of the meal. I told him, in my Chinese culture, if it has more than 2 legs, it's toast!

  You should see his reaction when he saw a pig's head. Heh.

 Fishballs are good.  Do you ladies eat those too?  I panfried them once in soya sauce and some fresh parsley and they turned out excellent.

Oh, I've got to add.  We were at Costco on Saturday and my guy brought me a spice carasel.(sp?)  OMG, I LOVE IT!  There are tons and tons of different spices in the jar.  I can't wait to use them all! :))))  He's so thoughtful. :)

It's a savoury pudding-like dish made with corn meal.  It's actually really good.  You can make it mashed potato consistancy, or make it more dense....slice it and saute it.  Yum.

What level is blue belt, Lil Me?  What color is beginners?  How much do you have to pay?  And, how did you find it when you were a newbie once?  

  I'm thinking about taking it to help with my stability and core muscles and flexibility.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 16 07 10:07
you start on white belt.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 16 07 10:16
It's a great sport, pl.  It really helped my flexibility, core and memory/concentration.  The main color belts are white, yellow, green, blue, red, and black- although there are "stripe" belts in between the levels (ie a yellow stripe is a white belt with yellow electrical tape worn on it...)
 
 I only pay $43/month, which is a screaming deal because the 3rd member of the family is 50% off and I pre-paid for a year to receive a further discount.  ("Goong Goong" pays for Heckyl and Jeckyl)
 
 If you register during a promotional sale, most schools will give you the uniform for free.  Further expenses could include testing fees and sparring gear- each school is different in this regard.
 
 
 ADD:  The World Tae Kwon Do (WTF) style is prefereable to the International Tae Kwon Do (ITF) imho, because WTF is "Olympic Style" with the competitive sparring rules.  ITF is non-contact- choreographed playfighting, and what's the fun in that??!  Mind you, I get totally bruised from sparring with guys who are double my size.
 
 
 
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 16 07 10:32
Sounds exciting.  I've got lots of research to do for sure. :)   I'm looking forward to it as I definitely have to work on flexiblity and core stability.  I'm such a clutz.  

  Wow, you're not too far away from teh master black!  Good for you! :)))  

  WTF, I lol'ed cuz I kept translating it to "what the fcuk"

 If it's anything like Val in Willow, I'm a fan.  I don't know if I can get Mr LM to watch it, though.  If the DVD box reads "romantic comedy" or "comedy drama", he usually says something snide and finds something else to do.

He looks better in this romantic comedy.  

It's about a woman who falls in love with a blind man.  And, he starts to fall in love with her too.  I don't remember who discovered whom first. :)))  I might have to watch it again.

Slowly Lil Me.  The horrors of working in a space that isn't 'square' makes everything such a pain.....lol

  Fitting the tiles in the area behind the stove (backsplash area) was ridiculous.  I'm telling ya....I have a galley kitchen....it's teeny, but I think I tiled the last kitchen which was 8 or 10 times bigger, in half the time.

The Can/U.S. governments shut down the Peace Arch border crossing once a year for us.  We have a big event called Hands Across the Border where Scouts from Canada and the U.S. meet up and trade badges and whatnot, followed by a parade and a ceremony.  Last year there was a Coast Guard Hovercraft out in the bay to give us a demonstration, but as it started moving a looooong freight train went by and we missed the hovercraft.  LOL at 10,000 people watching a freight train.
 
 The level of invisible security at Hands Across the Border is  pretty amazing.  You KNOW the powers that be are watching you, but you can't see them.  Two years ago, a leader (not me!) accidently blew up a propane bottle and there was a fire truck and 2 police cars there within seconds.

   really??? I'm an espresso fan! Actually we got very good Italian espresso coffees here but still, there are no so many bars that I like to drink a coffee in! Maybe just two or three cafe bars and others are mostly using some cheap coffees which make me sick! Coffee is a sort of a tradition here. If you come in a house of a Bosnian, the first thing what he or she will tell you and offer you, is a coffee. But those are turkish kinds of coffees which I don't prefer a lot.

 Lunch today is brown rice, humous and veggie tofu pate.

Hello Afternoon crowd!

Sorry I missed you earlier Devil.. I was on my way to a buddies place for some sand to mix up tonight for concrete. Fun

    I too like montreal on everything. when I do teriyaki seasoning I tend to throw the montreal on as well as the dry rub.

T bone steak frozen in teriyaki so it sucks it in, then thawed and dry rubbed with montreal. Cooked to a medium rare with more teriyaki on at the end, i usually cook them on a medium heat, and then take them off and put in teh oven for five minutes.. take them out and let them sit for ten then serve.. the meat relaxes and is SOOO tender. I too like to put a runny egg on top, and make either beer onions or mushrooms on the bbq side burner.

 That sounds so good, Russ.
 
EDIT: My favourite lazy breakfast /lunch is leftover pasta with shredded cheddar.  Melt in the micro and top with a nice mountain of Montreal.  I didn't actually have this today.

Afternoon miss LM.

  My lunch is close to yours, lol. Leftover Hamburger helper I made last night for din din. I put around 3 pounds of beef in it though cause I pulled too much hamburger out of the freezer and i didnt want to put the rest back in.

Post by: Lil Me on Apr 17 07 02:17
Ok.  I have a question about your BBQ method.  I'm trying to type the question, but I'm laughing too hard.
 
 Do you, ah, use a meat hammer on the steak?  That's the rephrase.

Greetings. Can't stay for long. Just wanted to say hi to the lunch crowd. Made pho ga today which was nice and rewarding. I'll have to make more next time and invite my Vietnamese friend just to see what she thinks of it.

  How is everyone today....? More importantly, how is one's goat to the stars doing?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Apr 17 07 03:55
Hello dear purelife. Yep, that's the chicken noodle in soup. Easy peasy. I just discovered that T&amp;T carries fresh (fresh!!) pho noodles. The difference between them and dried ones are night and day. I don't think I can go back to dried noodles any more.

  Any plans for this weekend?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 17 07 04:00
Nothing exciting for the weekend, just the usual. :)  How about you?  Going anywhere?

Hey Peoples!  What a nice afternoon it turned out to be.
 
 Okay- I need some advice please.  I just saw someone that I knew years ago.  He either didn't see me or didn't recognize me.  Should I say hi and introduce myself?  This guy has potentially a lot of dirt on me, as he knows several of my ex's, and I'm not sure that I want to open up that can of worms.  Our kids go to the same school.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 17 07 04:11
What stays in the past, stays in the past.  Hopefully, that's the way he thinks too.  If it were me, I would only talk to him if my kids were hanging out with his kids.  So, Lil me, if your kids weren't hanging out with his, I wouldn't bother with it.

Yeah, like you've mentioned, I wouldn't open up that side of his memory of you.  And, there's probably no gain for you to know him, so, some things are better left alone. :)

I agree with 49er. I forget half the stuff about old g/f's. I had a girl come up to me and I didnt remember her.. that didnt go over too well.

  Plus at the same time.. the past is the past like what PL said. Dont encourage it, but if he drags it up so what? Its stuff that happened to you in pretty much another lifetime. You have a ring, a husband, and two lovely children now..

What's for dinner?  I'm having chile garlic chicken (from Costco) with wheat-free/dairy-free Mac n Cheese, and salad.  The chicken is super good.  I disregarded the instructions and baked uncovered for an hour at 400- crispy skin and roasted spices.  The mac n cheese mix is just ok.  A bit too oregano-y.

It's actually not very interesting, P.C.!  I am embarassed about dating some raging f*ckwits within a small faculty at university, where everyone knew everyone else's business.  So it's actually more like embarassment by proxy, because some of these guys are so lacking in common sense that they clearly haven't asimilated into the human race- even 15 years later.

Allo, allo. purelife, if the weather holds we may go somewhere. *fingers crossed*

  My DS lunch gang, I have come to the sad conclusion that handywork and me DO NOT GO hand in hand. Finally attempted to repair the stupid tub.

  Problem one: cutting the (**&amp;*&amp;^&amp;^^&amp;*&amp;*Y *bleep bleep* silicone gun and getting the stupid nail down enough to squirt. Boy, I tell ya. It is one messy job.

  Problem two: it's not as pretty as I thought it would be. Yes. Those jobs they pull on the TV must be special effects because the silicone crap didn't come out nice and smooth.

  Problem three: I'll have to run to HDepot again and get something that would cover my mess up. Damage control comes to mind.

Do not despair, Lise.  My handy work isn't stellar, to put it mildly.  That's why Mr LM re-does a lot of my jobs.  When Mr LM is away on a secret ops mission, I phone a friend a lot- to the point where he sees my number on call display and answers the phone with "Hey-Whatdidya do THIS time?"
 
 *bless* for your efforts

A wet finger will do anything, 49er but not in this case. I've given up. I'm just running to the store and buying those ugly stupid tape that you tape around your bath tub. Well, at least it seals everything in so I don't have to worry.

Funny enough, in my experience, it's always the Home Depot guy who cracks up before I do.  Ask a question with the phrase "tongue and groove" and the guy at Home Depot starts laughing.  If it's a really young guy, he looks embarassed and shuffles his feet around while looking at the ground.

we also have one meal which is called Bosnian Pot. We put every possible kind of vegetable in the pot and stew it for couple of hours, of course meat cubes as well.

  and this pic shows another specialty called SARMA. It is a mince meat, smoked meat, grinded pepper beans and rice...alltogether folded into the cabbage leaves! And it cooks on slow fire for 5-6 hours.

Good morning everybody

  Will you nix cleaning the toilet if it rains Lil Me?  That's the one I would cross off the list.

  Rowing tonight Miss purelife?  Do you all chant when you row?  I would think it would give you a nice rhythm.  

One of my favourite things to do is canoeing.  I know that's not even close to what you're doing.....just made me think of it.  Haven't done it for years.

  So now that my new kitchen counters are dazzling white, (with a glossy black backsplash) I absolutely have to do something with my cupboards.  YUCK....they're gross and ruining the effect....lol.  (I am emptying them as we speak.

pl- Rocky Point?  It's nice down there.  Just watch for the goose crap.
 
 P.C.- Nope, I gotta clean the toilet.  Call me strange, but I give it a quick once-over every time I "use" it.  I like the Pine Sol.
 
 It's funny how reno projects just snowball.  I get nervous every time Mr LM gets an "idea" because that usually means another dozen unfinished projects!  (there is a limit to what I can finish because I cannot cut or measure straight).

  WOW....you're conscientious.....that's way too much messing around in the toilet for me.

  LOL....Mr P.C. gets a little nervous every time I get an 'idea'.....he knows too well what it means. This happens regularly with me.   He's the good measurer.....I eyeball everything. (so far so good...lol)

Pinesol smells sooo good. :))  

Canoeing must've been fun for ya, PC. :)))  There's this canoe rental place in Deep Cove here where you could rent a two-seater and canoe all the way to the camp site (3-4 hours after) and camp there and then head back.  I'll have to do that one day.  Have you ever done that before too?  I don't know if you were canoeing here?

Awww....what a cute little guy....I wonder if I can hire him to do my eyeballing for me.

  I haven't done canoeing there purelife.  I have done the Bowron Lakes chain (many years ago).  I would imagine it's pretty developed now, but it was pretty wild when I did it.  I just did a quick Google, and notice they have guided tours now.  It's was a tough trip....lots of portage....but for the peace and tranquility, you can't beat it. Judging from the map....it looks VERY developed now.

I haven't been there, but it's supposed to be awesome.  A Bowron Lakes trip is a reward/incentive for kids who earn their Chief Scout Award in our group.
 
 My in-laws take us to Spider Lake when we're out visiting them.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Wow, Bowron Lake is pretty. :))  There's so much to explore!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Apr 18 07 11:15
PC... where are these lakes? Did I miss where they are?

  Oh! And by the way.. beer onions are the bomb.

  I usualy slice the onion into rings, throw into a frying pan with a bit of olive oil. After a little bit when theyve started to soften add some beer and cook to just before carmelizing, or if you prefer just to before they get completely soft and are still a little crunchy.

They are awesome on burgers, steaks, and throwing them in with kebabs after they are cooked on teh bbq.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 18 07 11:19
That sounds wonderful Russ.  I might have to try that as I brought these beef burgers from Costco.   Do you think that I can substitute beer with red wine to carmelize those onions?  Ok, I might make hamburgers for tomorrow evening.  Thanks for the idea!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Apr 18 07 11:32
Which beef burgers? The premade frozen kirkland ones? Or the six monster ones that are in the fresh meats/ beef section?

I like getting the double large premade kirkland frozen ones.. they are awesome! And the best part is, is that they are unseasoned. They are the only beef burgers we have been able to find anywhere (other than homemade) that are unseasoned.

  I honestly dont know miss PL. The only thing I make with wine is Sanghria. It might? Try it and find out. Let us know how it turns out.

  On second though.. why do you not have beer at your place? Its one of the Two major foodgroups everyone should have
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 18 07 11:44
I don't know which burgers I have.  I'll have to find out tonight and let you know.  Kirkland brand you say?  I'll have to try that cuz I like burgers with no seasoning.  (extra salt = bad!)

  You know us, we don't drink, so no beer in the house.  :)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 18 07 11:49
What's wrong with seasoning?  If I'm already poisioning myself with a mondo buger, what's a little harm in salt and MSG?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 18 07 11:53
I couldn't believe that one burger had about 14 grams of fat!  Oh my goodness!  

  My guy has to watch his intake of sodium for his blood pressure.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 18 07 12:06
Ok.  That makes sense.  *bless* for taking care of his BP.
 
 I've got the frozen Costco Angus Beef Burgers.  They're totally tasty.  I'm sure they have more seasoning than meat inside.

I had two days off...and one day before that she didn't work...the day before that one...had to talk to the head hanchos....forgot to check today if she worked tomorrow...will see I guess.  The head hancho asked if I wanted to sit down one on one with her...I told him...that I spent the majority of my life controlling my temper...and that pushing me into that type of situation would probably not end up well.  But hey...you never know...she is a coward...that walks away from problems...
so...four days without her...just gives me a recupe...and the will to fight harder.  She claims to have issues with peeps colognes and perfumes....will make sure that I am ladened with scent...just for her...; )

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: pitbullca.bc on Apr 18 07 09:55
they acknowledged it.  They figured that by further interest...I would become an outstanding interest.  And..the perfume of choice..Hugo..for women...
In my town...we deal with things small town...and the only answer for that is to knock fists.  I am better than that.  Though...the thought has crossed my mine.  Sure as hell would knock her off of her highhorse.  Not letting it consume my life though.  I have an awesome family..that loves me...and peeps that back me 100% at work.  Though...small town mentality kicks in..and the bitch needs to be taken down...teehee!

 Hey Russ.  Speaking about Marine Drive, do you know what's being built there?  I heard that a couple of big-boxed stores are in place.  Can't remember the names though.

Our rowing practice cancelled because 2 girls weren't feeling well and the other girl couldn't come because she relied on the other girl for a ride.  So, it was me and I cancelled class.

Instead, ended up visiting A&amp;N to load up on couple cans of tuna, sardines (Cloverleaf brand for 2bucks!!CHEAP!!) and skipper fillets.  hee hee... All the other ladies loaded up with shoes whereas me, I loaded up on omega. ;)  LOL.  Then, got some laundry done, took out the garbage that my guy was supposed to do and cleaned up a bit.  It feels great to get things done. :))  Just waiting for my guy to come home from work soon....

 Company paid for half and I paid for the other half.  My portion was about $120 and they paid $120.  On race day, we get snacks covered by the company.  Price also includes two shirts and a water bottle.  I'm happy. :))))

 I heard that PriceSmart was created so that it could be non-unionized.  It's a subsidiary of Save On Foods.  They can afford to lower prices at PriceSmart because none of the employees are unionized at higher wages like SaveOnFoods is.  

I know this because I know someone who works for Jim Patterson Group.

Rej- "poutine" is a French Canadian food made of fries, gravy and cheese.  It's one of my favourite guilty foods, and we've been laughing about it for about a week because it sounds like "putang".
 Now that you mention Vladimir Putin- he always looks like he could use some.

 Hi P.C., Pitbull and Rej!
 
 I'm a chaperone on a kindergarten field trip this morning.  Oh joy.  I'm always terrified about losing a kid.  And, I shudder to think about what my own kid will say/do.  He starts showboating whenever he senses a captive female audience.  Most of the things that eminate from his mouth are pretty hilarious, but I don't like the stares from the other parents.  I sound like a broken record: "He has an older brother!  He learns these things from the 10 year olds, honestly!"  (as if I would actually teach my 5 year old son to sing My Humps....)

 The kindergarten fieldtrip was fine.  I was only responsible for 3 kids, so there wasn't any fear of losing anyone.  Kids say the darndest things.  I think I was laughing all morning.  You've gotta hear a car full of 5 year old boys singing this:
     Take a look at my girlfriend
  She's the only one I got
  Not much of a girlfriend
  Never seem to get a lot
 Lunch at Lougheed Mall (fries topped with gravy and cheese!), then back to the school to photocopy crap for the PAC.

SD- if you keep the same car when you move to Canada next year, you will need to apply for a special vehicle use permit.  As you know, we drive on the LEFT side of the road, just like the British.  So our steering wheels are on the RIGHT side of the car.  The American cars (steering wheel on the LEFT) are allowed if you get the special designation for them.  Oh, you also need daytime running lights.  I don't think American cars have those?

If you do decide to drive into Canada one day, make sure you leave xtra time at the border crossing.  The traffic interchange/roundabout thing can be hella confusing if you've never done it before. Imagine this, you're driving the way you usually do (all the cars on the RIGHT side of the road), and after you pass through a long circular turnpike loop, you're suddenly driving on the LEFT side of the road.  On the freeway!  At 90 km/hr.  (sorry, don't know what that is in miles.  But the highway speed limit is usually 90 km/hr in B.C.)

I'm also not happy when they have races in malaysia, australia, Dubhai..not that I have something against those countries, it's just the time difference and because I gotta wake up at 4am for example to watch the live coverage....but that's something which really thrills me! especially the start of the race...

The origin of this coffee dated all the way back to the period of Ottomen's occupation of Bosnia during the 13th century. The Turks barging into this country and brought along the coffee tradition.

 Taste: The Bosnian coffee is very strong and has a total different taste from the regular expressos, cappuchino you normally have in many other countries. It is very thick and sometimes can be hard to taste.

 How it served: You can look at the photos. Normally, the waiter will pour the coffee into the cup ( fildzan) for you. The green cube you see next to the cup is a sweet jelly, come with the coffee for free, depend on which cafe bar.

 How the locals actually drink their coffee: Drop the sugar cube into the cup, stir it, and then drink, right? Wrong! The correct wax to drink is:

 1. Pick up the sugar cube with your hand
2. Pick up the coffee cup with your other hand
3. Lick the sugar cube
4. And then drink the coffee

 This photo was taken at cafe Divan in Morica Han, Sarajevo

 [FONT color=#ff0000]As I can see you're all sleeping, so, when you all wake up here's something for all of you. A real Bosnian coffee! Although the author of the above text said that this coffee was served in a cafe bar, there are no many bars, or restaurants, where they serve this kind of traditional coffee, because it's mostly espresso and cappuccino. [/FONT]

Goodmorning all!

Teehee R...couldn't see me...first thing in the morning...licking a sugar cube..then sippin on my coffee...too much work...and not enough sleep.  With my coffee...it is a quick fix!

Birds are in full melody this morning.  I feel bad...as the pleasure that I get out of people having allergies....means that it is spring...gawd...that made no sense did it?

People are riddled with the spring time allergies...and that makes me happy...only in the sense that it means spring is here!

You look at me
And even when you look away
I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time

Morning Russ.  Yep, I used that avatar before but decided to use it again cuz I couldn't find another.  It was either that or no avatar. :)

  I find that Avril puts up a fake smile.  She doesn't feel genuine and honest to me.  Her songs are ok.  I do prefer her sk8er look than her glam look though.

What types of Pho does everyone get? I usually get a bowl with different cuts of beef, two types if i remember. Lots of coke and water on the side.. I load it with all the little trimmings they give you. You know you have the right mixture when your eyes water from the aroma of the spices off of it.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 20 07 12:13
Usually a beef mixture.  rare beef, fatty beef, tripe, tendon, whatever.

  Yes, SFU....

  hmmmm, what am I wearing?

  Let's start from the most visible.....?

  A low cut silky shirt (boy the people coming to the desk get a good cleavage shot)

Hip hugging, tight ass jeans

now....the underneath....

a black lacy bra with a heart pendant hanging from the middle and....

a see through black thong...the way it looks, it's can hardly be classified as an undergarment!

  How have you been....

well, as I said we didn't have a snow at all, and not only in my country but in the most of the European countries. I know that the Ski Championship was questionable 'cause there was no enough of snow at the mountains, so they were making the artificial one. We usually do not have heavy winters around here cause this is sub-continental region and slightly Mediteranian, but I remember some winters with a lot of minuse degreeses. But this time, no! The kids were saddened the most but as far as I am concerned, I could live wihtout it. Even for Christmas we didn't have a snow.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

we didn't have snow or cold at all, flowers and trees bloomed in early Feb. and then it went from 30C to -6 C over night a week ago and was like that for a week killed everything off. Got so cold my cat got confused and started thinking it was winter again.

Morning Everyone!
 
 Looks like another great day here in Van (out in the sticks).  I actually drove downtown for an appointment yesterday.  I even landed a parallel park on Alberni Street.  Jeckyl closed his eyes, covered his ears and said, "Mom!  Don't hit the curb this time!" seconds before the THUMP.  I swear I should just let the kids park the car.  They have much better visual/spatial orientation than I do.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Apr 21 07 09:46
It was because you were downtown. That place is a curse on Vancouver.

  I consider myself ok and parallel parking. I hit the curb but I dont hit the car behind me so Im happy.

My ADD self came out and I unwrapped my wrist thingy. I can see why the doctor apologized. From the looks of it I've got bruising/inner bleeding on my lower palm and about 20 stitches. yikes. Wish they hadn't shaved my arm, irritating.

  Nice to get at that yard work, Miss Pit.  Love to rake and burn.  It's that kind of work that shows such rewards with relatively minimal effort.

Next will be running 220V wires for the baseboard heaters with a control to a thermostat.. then on to puttng in the the wiring for the alarm system, with two motion sensors.. once that is done on to teh plasticing and drywalling.. fun.

    The sun finally came out.. we went to all the little shops and wandered by the natural hotsprings place.. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/upload/2k1b42c842d3.jpg)they pipe it from there to the Harrison Resort and to the public swim pool. We are headed there later.

Hey Lil Me..

Japanese was on our minds too.. So there was a Japanese place on the front street and we went there for lunch. Wow, it was 'ok' but hideously expensive.. lol. 15.99 for 4 small pieces of salmon sashimi and four small pieces of tuna sashimi.. think baby finger sized.

  Dinner will be some fancy looking place on the water..

  Yeah.. the hotsprings are very high in sulphur. The natural ones we went to in the backwoods that I talked about before are like that too.

  What did everyone get up to this afternoon? After the shopping for some family, I bought myself a cool pic of the general layout of the lower mainland from the border to squamish and to just past mission. Got the land formations and rivers/creeks as well.

Hi P.C.!(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/3.gif)

Its sunny here too today!

  Weekend was great even if gf was working a ton. I got a lot of spring cleaning done yesterday. Even helped a buddy clean up his leftover roofing shingles and helped him drop yard/construction waste off at the dump. To thank me, he BBQ'd and had my boy and I over for a chicken supper.

ahh, now its Monday...and my coffee tastes amazing.

Heya pl!  It was a quiet weekend around here.  I finally watched Casino Royale.  It took me 2 nights to finish it, cuz turning on the tv is like pressing the insta snooze button for me.
 
 Mr LM is home until Friday.  He's been very nice.  He bought me flowers AND built a TP pyramid in the bathroom.  He's also been taking out the garbage, wrenched the childproof cap off my new 4L Pine Sol, and fixed the steering on Jeckyl's skateboard.  So all is good!

When we find a new feeding ground we usually have community-wide orgies that can last all day. Why, once I saw two female bonobo go at it so hot and heavy and for such an extended period that it started a grass fire right under their rutting spot.

But a mouth is useful for so much more than eating food, don't you agree my human friend?

I think we most likely have so much in common and only a few things to keep us apart.

Won't you take my paw and help us to bring our two species closer?

So.....what's for dinner?  I'm going to be grilling some marinated pork loins, if the winter BBQ sludge ever gets burned off.
   
 ADD: Pork is cooking.  Heckyl, being the gourmet that he is, thinks that all BBQ'd meat needs BBQ sauce.  And, I can't find any.  SO the nicely marinated pork now has a brushing of ketchup.

[DD] If yer ever stuck again LM....this is the easiest yummy bbq sauce ever.  Sometimes I add a drop or 2 of liquid smoke too.

 [DD]  

 [DD] 1 Tbs butter.....1 small onion grated.......clove or 2 of garlic, minced

[/DD] pinch of salt.....1/2 Tbs chili powder.......2 Tbs brown sugar

 2 Tbs of vinegar.....2 Tbs Worchestershire Sauce.....1/2 cup catsup.....dash or 2 of tobasco

 Melt butter in a saucepan.  Cook onion and garlic until soft.

 Add a cup of water and remaining ingredients.  Stir until well mixed.

 Place over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.

Hi!  I'm munching on an almond butter and banana sammy on sprouted grain bread.  Water and reheated coffee.
 
 I agree, pl, that the meal replacement drinks look expensive- but I thought I'd try this one.  It works out to about $2 per serving (for a meal), which isn't that bad.  The problem before was that I was on the verge of mental and physical collapse halfway through my tkd class because my morning coffee, banana, soy milk and yogurt didn't have enough calories in it.  Instead of getting up 1.5 hours earlier to prepare, eat and digest a large meal, I thought I'd try to drink breakfast.

Dinner tonight is an experiment in progress.  Crock pot- add chicken thighs (no skin/bone), chopped onion, handful of peeled garlic, chopped celery, chopped cabbage, some water and some bulgogi sauce.  I have more veggies ready to use, but they won't fit into the pot.  I guess there will be steamed potatoes and a chopped veggie salad on the side.

Do you brown the chicken?  It'll taste 10 times better. :))  

Our grandma gave us a crock pot but I haven't used it yet.  I will surely use it soon cuz I'm looking forward to making soup...

 I should brown the chicken, but today I'm too busy/lazy.  So I just threw everything in.
 
 Mr LM has Jack Bauer days when he can go the whole day without eating, drinking or going to the bathroom because there's some major crisis looming.  I wish I could do that, but I can't.

Afetrnoon all! Robins, dont talk to me about those stooopid birds. We have a retardo robin in the yard for the last week now. It perches on our vehicle doors, sees itself in the mirror and that scares the crap out of  it- literaly, and then he jumps all over the mirrors and makes a mess out of them. Both sides of both vehicle look like a scene from the birds. Are Robins good eating?

 Finally back after walking to go pickup my car.  Wheel bearing is fixed.  The remaining bumpy steering problem is because I need new tires.  Who knew?  I certainly didn't.  I'm surprised Fountain Tire didn't tell me when I went for my rotation/balancing a few weeks ago.  You would have thought they would say something!

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

LOL...haven't had too many problems with the spilled milk situations.  When they spill..it is usually because they aren't paying attention...and I just tell them to hurry..and clean it up!  And then..it is dropped...no attention after that.

lol and thanks for the support on the spilled milk issue.  After I calmed down, I talked to Jeckyl about it.  He was able to succinctly tell me how it happened, and how to avoid it in the future.  Then I asked him to think of a suitable punishment, should this happen again.  He volunteered "No dessert".  So, hopefully our little problem is solved.  *deep breath*

yes...*sigh*...one bathroom household.  Went and looked at a 5 bdrm house...out at the lake...solid...really really solid...but so severly dated...and whoever figured on the interior decorating outta be shot.  Told the bf...could see myself commiting suicide in a house like that.  It had 3 bedrooms.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 24 07 09:30
That's funny Miss Pit.  Don't let dated decor turn you off.  If it's solid and has 'good bones', cosmetics for an update are cheap.  You should have seen THIS place when I bought it.....LOL.  I couldn't imagine what a person could be on, that would make them select the colours and materials they did.

and now P.C's home looks like those homes in the magazines. ;)


Speaking of houses my cousin got this 3 bedroom house he was bidding on down on the farm.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: pitbullca.bc on Apr 24 07 09:40
oh PC...you don't understand...really...
it had natural gas..hot water..furnace...where it uses hot water...that runs through the whole house...into what looks like base heaters.  The wood "stove" was an elderly wood furnace...the size of a 25" tv.  horrible concrete stairs...a 70's bar at the front door...electic blue...truly shag carpet...burnt orange shag carpet...and burnt orange with green countertops and back splashes in the kitchen
omg...I can't even begin...woulda taken alot of money to change...trust me
the downstairs bathroom...was a concrete...latrine...one bathroom upstairs...was done ALL in pink..pink tile..pink toilet..pink tub.  The other bathroom...same idea...with lilac purple...everything...I shit you not!  The place was a disaster.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

But it was on the lake.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 24 07 09:52
oh PC...you don't understand...really...


Oh trust me.....I get it.  The upstairs bathroom in this house made a pumpkin look like pale orange.  Downstairs bath.....lime green.  Kitchen....mustard yellow with yellow arborite counters.  And the whole bottom floor was cheap lino tile.  The upstairs was patterned brown, rust and gold indoor/outdoor carpet.  BARFFFFFF.  I was sold on the property, and the general design of the house was workable.

  Wish I had before pics.....it was totally laughable.

I had thought of taking a camera...wish that I did..you woulda seen it..blech...told the bf that I couldn't stop talking about how horrible it was cause I was genuinely traumatized.  Here...we don't have a home depot or anything like that...so home improvement can be quite pricey.

  Now THAT'S a major consideration.  I misinterpreted.  I thought the house was good except for the dreadful decor.  If everything else isn't what you're looking for, it would never be worth anything.

I hear ya Miss Pit.  The only thing that helped me turn a blind eye to the flaws in the house was it's perfection in everything else.  And that was more important to me.  I too have fought for what I have....again adding more value.

Ugh.  Too much.  I'm glad Mr LM is "home", though he's been in the office downtown every day.  Heckyl has music class and lacrosse practice.  I've got a strata council meeting.
 Hopefully it rains.  Then lacrosse practice is cancelled and Heckyl and Jeckyl will also have no running club after school.  That buys extra homework time.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 25 07 07:54
No thoughts on that one yet Russ.....it's TINY.  Sawdust is planning a small addition on the back of the house....more of a closed in porch area for storage of kitchen appliance overflow and a more workable recyclable holding place.  Between cans, bottles, plastics and cardboard, the tiny laundry room is perpetually left with barely enough space to get the lid of the washer up.

Well that's the weird part.  We HAVE a cat, whom we affectionately refer to as 'the Little Terrorist', but he just watches them.  I mean these guys are easy prey when they're in this 'love frenzy'.....they perch on the sill of the window....look at themselves in the mirror, try to fly INTO the mirror and knock themselves silly.  They hit the ground several times in a daze.  THAT'S when I expect doom from the killer cat......but nothing.

It's almost like he's saying ..."I ain't eating that.....it's crazy...... and it could be catching"

Question:
 
  My friend wants me to warn people about her recent ex, because he's a sociopathic, lying, philandering SOB.  While I agree that no more women should be sucked into his stories and lies, I'm a bit hesitant to spread dirt.  (And I could so easily, because he's cop and I have friends in his detatchment.)
  So....do I say anything, or do I zip my lips shut?

Post by: purelife on Apr 25 07 12:54
I don't know if it would help because how would you know which girl he decides to date next?  The best thing for this lady friend of yours is to stay far away from him and not get involved.  The more she thinks about him, the more it'll just get her angry.  She needs to move on with her life and leave him far behind.

I'd definitely pass on that one.....unless it came down to him dating someone I cared for.  Other than that, when you spread dirt, it has a nasty way of always having a little bit stick.

  In regards to the earlier question about whether someone should pass along info or not...

  IMO...there is no need for you to get involved...out of sight out of mind right?  If this jerk started dating someone very close to you (which is unlikely since they would most likely know the situation already) give them your opinion on this dude and what he's reputable for, otherwise, it's all about karma...what goes around comes around.  It will come back to haunt you eventually if you took the heroin approach to this topic.  On the other hand, this guy will get what's coming to him...if he ever treated me like that, I've got plenty of 'friends' and male family members who make sure this guy.....!

We have Homeowners Association too 49er.  I think the difference is the Strata Council deals with condos and townhouses.....where they own their home, but not their property.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 25 07 07:12
I'm explaining this poorly, aren't I.

  Decisions made in a townhouse or condo complex involve all residents with a 'share' in the complex that affect the welfare of all who live there.  Homeowners Association is for discussions of how they function within a community.

 I see,  we still call it Homeowners Association ......... whether its condos, townhouses or single family homes.  

  Its not common to not own a  % of the property (land, common areas, etc) for condos and townhouses here.  Only place I can think where some condo owners do not own the land is in Hawaii.....where the condos are developed on leased land.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 25 07 07:45
I guess they DO own a percentage or 'share' of the property.  (I have never owned a townhouse, condo etc....so not sure about all that goes with it)  But because you only own a share, decisions for improvements etc have to be agreed upon by all 'share' holders.

 You guys are totally right.  Each owner owns their own home, plus a share of limited common property.  So everyone is responsible for roadways, parking areas, mechanical systems, fire suppression, etc.  The Strata Council is the governing body for the owners.  And it's a sucky volunteer job.
 
 But it was a good night of drinking with the unbalanced neighbours.

 Good morning Isis.  



I'm in the process of dismantling some shelving units to 'remantle' in a different location.  (now that I have the space(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif) ).  I'm doing double duty here.  While I'm ridding the storage space from unwanted junk, I actually have space to set up things I want to keep.  So now I can empty my work room and put it the stuff from there in the storage space.  THEN I can turn my work room into a much needed guest room.  If you think that sounds convaluted......it IS.....but there's a method in my madness.

lol....that's exactly what it is, Lil Me.  A REALLY REALLY BIG snowball.  But.....it needs to be done. (it's needed to be done for a long time, but has always been put off, because there's too much stuff around here to do it)

  In spite of the fact that I'm in a colossal mess right now.....it's already starting to feel better.

   I have hubby at home sick today.  Poor baby.

Thank you, Isis. You took the words out of my hands.

I got exactly 1 hour of sleep last night so I hope this post is in English.

Lunch will hopefully be a nap in an inconspicuous spot (maybe behind a dumpster near the loading dock?).

    EDIT: Good morning  Miss P.C., Isis, Lil Me and of course Pit!!!

 Yes, (if he's here) and with some friends and friends of friends.  I'm just going for the show, though- the entourage was not my choice.   If he's not here I'll have an extra ticket.  You game?

Thanks Lil Me!

I am not sure the next time I will be out that way. I will be in the West Kootenays with my work for a bit in the summer. We are going to a wedding in Maple Ridge in October.

Sure wish I was at a Canucks playoff game this week. Is the town going all Canuck crazy again? There are actually a ton of Canucks fans around town here.

   That was only one game. I could see it though, Vancouver, like Calgary is very much a bandwagon city. "Die Hards" only wave Canucks pride when they win.

Edmonchuck (or The Chuck) is so named because everyone and his dog there is Ukranian.  Their last names all end in -chuck or -ski.

Still going through every nook and cranny SD.  Ridding the house of excess 'STUFF' for the garage sale.  It's a lot of work....we seem to have accumulated a lot of junk over the years and it's all packed up so compactly as we really don't have the space.  So ripping into all the stuff that's so neatly packed away, has turned my house upside down.

  Worst part ?  I have company tomorrow night....so I'll have to interupt the process and put at least some of it back away.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

 I know the feeling. At my old house we would clean the house and then try to rid the house of junk. Well it ended up taking up about every single room in the house. The living room/dining room became a storage closet. lol

That sucks. I what its like. Feels counter productive.

Hey Russ.  We had sushi, too.  It was gonna be a BBQ chicken from Safeway (lazy night), but Mr LM wanted sushi for his last meal in town.

Oh well, today and tomorrow is supposed to be sunny so I will enjoy the moment!

  YAY! FRIDAY! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

  (Lil Me, I never knew where "The Chuck" came from? It is nice to learn something. I thought it was a slang to slam Edmontonians at first, then I heard Edmonton folks using it too?? so I figured it was just a slang, like Yankee or Canuck).

 According to the old stereotype, Edmonchuck was full of Ukranians who were either (a) farmers or (b) worked at the old meat packing plant around Northlands.

  What a gloomy day out there today.  Yuckiness abounds.  

Miss Pit, you mentioned the Stellars Jays, and it reminded me, that I haven't seen them around for awhile.  I wonder what's up with that.  They used to be hanging about in droves here, with their less than melodious song.

Morning PC, Lil Me, Devil, Ms Pit....

  Do you want to hear a really weird dream?  In my dream, I was told not to post something like "good morning everyone" because it told me that I was being too lazy to say everyone's name instead.  I was supposed to take the time to post everyone's name and not just say "everyone."  I felt terrible...

  Enjoy your house cleaning, Ms PC.  Do you usually blast some music in the background to help?

I just dropped off my sister, have to pick her up again in 45 minutes or so. Then I've got Physical Therapy at 1pm. Then I got to take my friend to look at this car in the city. That will take the rest of the day.

Not usually....I clean in silence.  Hubby's a 'do everything to music' kind of guy. (well not everything...lol)  Me ?  I like to grab silence whenever I can.

  Heard from Miss Lise, purelife ?  I miss her.

  *I used to say each name, but then I found I always missed someone....like if someone JUST logged on etc.  Then I always had to go back and edit.  So my bad manners are really laziness in disguise....lol  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Yeah Lise most have some crazy computer problems.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 27 07 09:37
I haven't heard from Lise since that day when she called me.  She told me had a nasty virus on the computer and hubby told her not to go on DS.  I've been worried about that too because my computer detected some viruses so, I've been limiting my time on DS on my home computer.  She said that she hopes to get it fixed soon.

  It was a weird dream.  Sorry, I wasn't saying that you were lazy or anything like that.  That certainly wasn't my implication.  It was just weird how my dream told me that.  I think that it relays to how I feel about wedding invitations.  I prefer to hand deliver them but someone I know is planning to mail us hers when she lives about half hour drive from us.  I guess everyone has different feelings about hand delivering versus just mailing them out.

 why would they equate DS with viruses?
I can almost guarantee that DS wasn't the problem.
Even though I get a bunch of prompts about IPs and some ad trying to load. admt something or whatever.

How's Ms. Kitten PC?

Lol, Lil Me.  I knew the lyrics, but for some reason I remember it being more of a reggae-ish sound.

  Miss kitten is getting better purelife.....we'll see her back here soon. I didn't interpret your dream as calling me lazy at all.....rofl.

I have no prob with mailing wedding invitations.....but I DRAW THE LINE at an emailed invite.  (we got one for a wedding last month......we did not attend)  It's like an unvitation.....for those last minute space fillers.  It's like saying..."you didn't really make the cut, but we allowed for 150 guests and we've only got 115 showing up.....so....c'mon along and bring a gift."

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 27 07 10:10
It's beyond tacky....it's out and out rude.  AND...the wedding was someone I would see 4 or 5 times a week !!!!!  Not that I'm hurt or anything.....I doubt that I would have attended if I received a hand engraved gold embossed pop-up invite.  BUT....at least I would have sent a gift.  As is was....I just ignored it.

  OK.....back to work. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/haushalt/f018.gif" border=0]

I don't blame you for feeling that way, for sure!  I plan to hand deliver all my invitations unless someone lives really far where I can't commute out there.  I prefer the personal touch.

So, I take it you did really well, LM?  

We eneded up watching the movie "Next" with Jessica Biel (HAWT!) and Nich Cage (not so hawt)...but it was good, it was just the ending that threw me off.  Ending could've been done better.

Hi Sweetie!  I was totally nervous and I screwed up on a bunch of things, but I think I passed the test.  Movie sounds fun.  Any making out?!

Hidey Ho Neighbours!
 
 What's for lunch?  Hon's takeout here.  I'd heard that all their food arrives on a truck from a central kitchen, but I'd never seen it happen before.  They were unloading a cube van 1/2 hr after the restaurant opened today.  Wheeling buckets full of soup on carts, yelling "Move!"  and "Watch Out!" at the clientele.  Customer relations isn't their strength.

Hi People!  Back from Beer&amp;Burger night (school fundraiser).  I won an ugly fleece blanket with a tiger on it :)  Totally unfair, because my azzhat neighbour, who doesn't even have kids at the school, won booze, coffee, a kitchen basket, a t-shirt, a water bottle and an iPod.  
 Ah, it was a fun night.  Sitting on the deck and trading wisecracks.  Just like DS- only RL.

 Coffee tastes extra good this morning.  I just remembered that I traded the ugly tiger blanket I won for some gym passes.
 
 Breakfast is sliced fruit.
 
 Man oh man, I laughed so hard last night.  Then I went home and started reading Letters from a Nut, pt 2- which my friend lent me.  Lots more laughter.  This idiot sent a letter to the Coca-Cola compnay advising them that he created a drink called Kiet Doke, and hopes that won't be trademark infringement.

Sounds good.  (except for the grilled asparagus part.....lol) Sawdust would probably love it.

Roast Chicken here.  Typical Sunday type dinner.

  Have you ever tried a grilled Caesar Lil Me?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

No.  So you take the glass and pour the Casesar all over the grill?!

Yes.  The aroma is fantastic.

That would be a nice air freshener.  Spicy.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 29 07 07:08
It's actually a Caesar salad done on the grill.  It's amazing.

  You quarter the lettuce lengthwise, and brush it with olive oil, and then grill it for a minute on each side.  Dress with regular Caesar dressing....Parmesan and croutons.  Sounds disgusting, eating warm lettuce, but it's SOOOO good.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 29 07 07:18
Mmmm.  That does sound good.
 
 Not a fan of asparagus, P.C.?
 My sister calls it "I Cuss, You Cuss" after the Far Side cartoon about failed advertizing jingles (I Cuss, You Cuss, We all Cuss for Asparagus).  I toss it with olive oil and Montreal Steak Spice before grilling.
 
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 29 07 08:29
You know, everytime I prepare caesar salad for dinner (like tonight) I think about your grilled caesar, Ms PC.  I wish that I had a grill to try that out.  So, you just add croutons and cheese in the leaf and then just wrap it up to eat?  That sure does sound yummy.  I like warm lettuce.  :)))

lol I'm not THAT big.
I'm tall not plump.
Old Navy's website I can get a 36 length in jeans, while in the store they only have 34. A difference between a 34 and a 36 for me is that in a 34 the jeans don't even get to my socks.

 yeah and another thing is they make pants for 'fat' people. I see 45,46,47,48 waists and a 36. But can I find a 36 length and 40 waist. Nope.

Going to the store wakes you up on how fat this country has become.

Got on this other school's official prom video. lol We had to book it though secruity chased us out of the hotel ballroom.

  Oh I take that back the same night we crashed the prom we were driving around randomly looking for signs of a house party to crash. Well I saw a bunch of cars and thought "hey that's a big party" well it turned out to be a Hindu wedding. They even had a watch person. lol
We eventually did find a party though, although that belongs in another thread.

Morning Peeps!  Looks like rain again.  Ahhhh.  Coffee is ready.  Time for my tall, dark and strong.
 
 My chiropractor is telling me to quit the GNC protein shakes.  Like P.C. once said, it's full of fillers and chemicals of unknown origin.  It's like pet food or wallpaper glue.
 
 However, I'm mildly addicted to the amphetamine-like rush that comes from drinking a wallpaper shake.  (on workout days only).  I'm getting SO MUCH DONE because I'm hyper all day.  On the other hand, it is making me edgy and combatible. :)

Good morning Lil Me and everyone else who is lurking.

  I've heard about that about those protein shakes as well.  My rule is, if you don't know how to pronounce the ingredient(s) or know what it(they) mean, then don't put it in your body.

Good morning purelife and Lil Me.

  I wonder what would have caused your light to fall like that Lil Me.  Earthquake?  Good think nobody was dining at the time.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 04 07 09:27
Sure has been quiet around here the last few days.  We need to make some noise !!!!!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on May 04 07 09:33
Morning PC and Lil Me. :))

  Yeah, I notice that it has been quiet.  It could be a good thing.  I actually feel good to be away from DS sometimes, especialy during the evenings.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!  And PC, your garage sale is this weekend?  Let us know how it went, k?

you too have a great and awesome weekend pl.

 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

What' for eats?  I'm having pizza hut, veggies, and a spicy Caesar.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 04 07 08:11
We're having breakfast for dinner.  Hubby had a little dental work yesterday, so it was some nice turkey soup last night......and brekky tonight.  Sausages and scrambled eggs.  (soft stuff......lol)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on May 04 07 08:16
Aw.  Hugs to the Mr.
 
 Does this breakfast meal include a glass of rye, or is he on painkillers?
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 04 07 08:17
Maybe I should have something more than a small helping of macaroni salad, but I'm not feeling ambitious about cooking anything.  Not after making two huge batches of soup for my lady.  One was cream of chicken, and the other was cream of tomato and vegetable.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 04 07 08:27
Lol Lil Me......yes it includes a rye or two.  He considers that an appy.....lol

  I'm having a couple 'appy's' myself.

  Sometimes cooking for yourself is not so fun Kitten.  I remember the brief time I was single.....(LOL)....I found it really nice to cook myself a dinner as if I were having company.  The whole 9 yards.....linen, candles.....etc.  Hey....we're worth it right????  (of course it's nothing more than a pain in the butt to do on a regular basis)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 04 07 08:31
Exactly!  You know what you're having, you can smell it cooking, and by the time you're finished, you don't really feel much like it any more.  The smell fills you up.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 04 07 08:36
Ahh yes....the breatharian.  Sustaining life on aroma alone.....hahahaha.

  Well good night ladies.....early start (again) for me tomorrow.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on May 04 07 08:48
Night P.C.  Good luck with the Garage Sale.  Best wishes to the Mr.  Hopefully he will be back talking in his loud booming voive by garage sale time.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 05 07 12:04
I still know for a fact I've got a louder voice... ;)

well I had a fun night.
Had Sushi for late lunch.
Then hung out with my friend at his work. It's hysterical how these two girls just talk to him 24/7. lol
He asked if one of the girls liked him while we were walking to the movie theatre from his work. I went "duh" she can't get enough of you. lol

Saw Spiderman. Interesting. Didn't like it as much as the 2nd movie. A bit too silly. Comic book movies have to balance a line between reality and fiction and this movie went too comic fiction for me. Plus I didn't dig the Punk Emo Parker.

Hi, Purelife. Did you manage to find your pencil?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on May 05 07 11:42
Pencil?  I'm missing a pencil?

Heya Gopher.  What are your plans for this weekend?
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Gopher on May 05 07 11:44
You announced that you were looking for your pencil, in the a-z game a couple of days ago.

  As for weekend plans, nothing much at all - I'm back at work tomorrow. However I intend going out with some cronies for a couple of pints stonight.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I wonder how P.C.'s garage sale went?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on May 05 07 06:29
I was wondering the same.  I'm sure we'll see P.C. and Mr S around here soon.
 
 I'm exhasted.  Taekwondo competition- won a gold medal in poomse (forms) and Heckyl and Jeckyl won a couple of medals, too.  We got back to the rink in time for the 2nd period of Jeckyl's lacrosse game, then Heckyl had one directly after in the same arena.
 
 Heckyl and Jeckyl are watching Spongebob and eating Pizza Hut and salad.
 
 I'm eating Pizza Hut, salad and avocados. (with a spicy Caesar).
 
 Off to bed soon, I think.  
 But first some showers, cuz I stink.
 
 
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 05 07 06:31
I spent the day shopping with mother looking for food. Then I sat down mimmicking the queen since she's in Kentucky for the horse race.  Then I made a complete mexican meal. All by myself. phew, tired and I still have to go to work tonight. ugh.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I had barbeque chicken and veggie salad.  Think it will be an early night for me too.

Hello everybody !!!!  Garage sale went unbelievably well.  WAY better that I was hoping for on a good day.  Sold a ship load of stuff and the flow of traffic was amazing.  People sure do like their garage sales. (didn't see FIL there Lil Me.....lol)  It never ceases to amaze me what people will buy......it was a lot of fun, and we gots money to boot. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/d035.gif" border=0]

  Heading over to neighbours for dinner in a bit.  We're all bagged.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 05 07 06:53
Yay!!!  I'm so glad to hear it went well.  I can believe that you're beat, though.  It takes a lot of energy to do a garage sale.  Have you made enough for the roof yet?  lol

  Do you still have some left to sell tomorrow?

  Take it easy, P.C.  You've earned some rest.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 05 07 06:59
Ahahaa Lil Me.....no bocce tonight.  

  The money will definitely go towards the new roof Kitten.....it may cover a 4 or 5 foot section.....lol

  I had to have a warm tubby, because I couldn't shake the chill.  Tomorrow morning.....baileys in my coffee will be the way to go.

Although its been raining every single day this week which is awesome. love the rain.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 05 07 07:02
Plus a couple of thermoses of the same to take with you.  Hope it stays dry for you.  A soak in a hot tub sounds wonderful.  I plan to indulge a little later.  What's for supper, do you know?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 05 07 07:04
It's been a toss up between burgers on the barB or ordering out for Chinese food.  All I know is I don't want to work too hard for dinner.....lol.

See ya later.

Din Din tonight will be cuisine provided by our local chinese take-out. Both of us are way too tired to cook.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

  Anyways, if you can stay away from the mailbox, you'd be a more patient person than I am because if it were me, I'd want it NOW!    

Do you guys order the sweet and sour?  

Dinner tonight is pork schnitzel and spinach and mozzarella raviolli.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 06 07 06:20
That sounds good purelife.  (Sawdust has left the building....lol)

  Yup....sweet and sour.  *yum  I also like the breaded almond chicken...so I think I will go for some of that instead tonight.  I can't believe how tired we are.  We just called our neighbour who did the garage sale with us, to invite her for some dinner, but she's down for the night.....lol

It finished VERY well, thanks Kitten.  We were pleased with the outcome.  And yes.....I think we will actually do another in a month or so.  Very tiring though.  I haven't figured out WHY yet....but for some reason, we are all exhausted.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 06 07 09:02
I'm pleased that it worked out for  you.  You've got to be kidding about another in a month!!  Suckers for punishment, aren't you?  

  I think being outside all day in the cold and rain burns a lot of energy, so naturally you would be tired.  Are you having a libation or two to compensate?  (So you won't catch a cold!)

Hey Everyone!
 
 Congrats on a successful garage sale, P.C. and Mr Saw.  Garage sale earnings always feel like "free money", don't they?
 
 Saw a great performance at UBC with Heckyl and Jeckyl and my sis.  A tapdance concerto.  If you liked the movie Happy Feet, you'd love this performance.  The solo instrument was a tap dancer.  It was awesome.  Followed by sushi at The Eatery.  I had a Bob Marley roll- avocado and mango roll topped with tuna sashimi.

  Spidey was awesome, LOVED it!  It was well worth the 2-hour lineup.  We lined up at 5:45 for the 7:30 show.  The movie wasn't over until 10:15 ish.  I grew very tired.  Actually, my guy lined up while I did some shopping. :))))

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on May 07 07 11:02
Which villain and how so?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 07 07 11:09
Venom. He's the ultimate foe for Spiderman and the wussied him out. In the comics he's a go it alone or screw it type of villian and he's super vicious.  The director obviously didn't like the character so he cheapend Venom into a pathetic after thought.
Then when the two villians teamed up (which Venom doesn't do) they're like 'let's kill Spiderman' yet they both know who Spiderman is! Brock knows it's Parker and Parker told Marko he killed his uncle.
Then the director never explained the Symbiote.
Harry's storyline was stupid.
He drinks some hard alcohol and everything comes back to him? Then out of the blue the old man comes by, where was he earlier?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on May 07 07 01:59
I'm luving rowing.  It's so sad that it has to end soon.  The thing that I'm not good at yet is squaring and tapping.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 07 07 02:14
ahh yeah that takes a lot of practice.

I always would worry that the oar would crab on me.

Problem I always had was not using the entire slide. Because when I do I tend to tire out the people behind me because I go at a stronger pace. lol

  So what position on the boat are you?

  I'm a port 3rd seat in front from bow on an 8

bow

C

1-port

2- star

3- port

4- star

5- port

6-star

7-port

8-star

stern

  And on a Quad I'm the starboard 2 or Port 3
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on May 07 07 02:19
I'm mainly at 2 but I have tried 4 and 3.  This one girl is always at the bow one because she has more experience with rowing.

  One thing that our Coach taught us is that if one person makes a mistake, it's everyone's fault.  I like that.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 07 07 02:22
lol. So you don't get the blame. lol

Yeah its everyones fault until you tip the boat. lol

  The thing that's really tough about Quad's are that if you aren't level with everyone else with your oar, you can really tip the thing easily.

  Which is why I marvel at the singles, I did a single once, couldn't get out of the cove its too hard.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on May 07 07 02:28
Our coach does singles and she tells us how difficult it is.  It takes one with lots of experience.  

  We're lucky so far where we haven't tipped the boat even when we rowed with just the 3 of us last week.  I really don't want to be submerged in water.... YIKES!

yeah the tipping doesn't bother me its the fact that I'm basically bolted down with the rowing shoes that freaks me out. But the sly coach I had was like "the shoes will come off". I was like sure, they're bolted down I dont' think they're going anywhere. lol

I just make sure that I don't secure my feet that tight so that I could still get my feet out.

Yes....Dr. P.C. definitely has a nice ring to it.  I don't do all the icky stuff though....I just prescribe.....and I think I'm pretty good at it.  I also decided that it would be valuable if I were to have a beverage also, as to not make the patient feel isolated and alone in their recovery.

It's really warm today, but am not complaining.  Love warm weather cuz I love summer dresses.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 08 07 09:30
Well you could of done worse! lol

The lakes over here are infested with an invasive specie known as the asian carp. They're these huge fish that have sensitive hearing. They fly 5ft out to the water when a noise gets to loud. I'm sure you've seen footage of them jumping and hitting people in boats on tv before.  Well this lake I rowed at had those fish and one almost jumped and hit me in the head.

  LOL!!!

Yup tenkani! It's like playing catch in the front yard, they'll just jump right into your boat. Plus nobody cares about the fish as I said they are the enemy. So fish fry anyone? lol

  Here's a video of the jumping asian carp.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 08 07 10:21
yeah the local bass and catfish are still around but the asian carp are little monsters, they eat everything and anything. So the bass and catfish population is shrinking.

  like some of the posters on the video site said, the newspaper people shouldn't be throwing the fish back in the water.

  I think we should catch a lot of the fish and use the fish to feed the homeless.

  Here in the midwest we're being invaded by invasive species its really sad. The Illinois River is full of Asian Carp so much so they have no wake zones because the fish will start flying.

Hey Miss Pit.  Another day of 'the purge'.  It's starting to feel pretty good getting rid of all the excess crap.  (we're talking household crap here.....just to clarify....lol)

  Same kind of weather here today.  A little of this and a little of that.  All in all, it feels nothing like May.

I'm a little bit glad, because once I start in the garden, I don't want to come back in.

Tool droppings.....ROFL !!!!

  That sounds like it might be a good plan Miss Pitt.  I think we're going to see a slow dropping off of house prices in the next year.  Not based on any form of solid information, just my own hunch.

  A shop or BIG garage is a 'must have' for those who leave tool droppings. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]

Just in case anyone thinks they're having a bad afternoon.....

  I am wading around in an inch and a half of water.  Am I frolicking at the local water park?  NO.

My washing maching backed up into my shower and flooded the bathroom, laundry room, hallway and kitchen.  It's all underneath the new floors.  Is that the bad part ?  NO

  I dug around in the yard til I located the baffle which leads to the septic tank to see if that's where the problem was.  It was.  Is this the worst part ?  NO

  I had to poke around in this thing with a pole to free up whatever was blocking it.  Is this the living end ????   YES.

  OK....here's the worst part.  I think I may have brought this on myself.  First of all don't ever wash up your tiling tools in the sink.....the mortar and mastic has a tendancy to build up and harden in huge masses.  Secondly....if you do a lot of canning......EAT IT.....don't leave it in the cupboards for 2 years and then empty it all down the toilet.

  Back to operation mop up.

Thanks Lil Me.  

  The septic guys are shaking their heads I'm sure.  Great massive chunks-o-stuff (mortar) keep plugging up their 6 inch hose.  (yipes.....I'm laying low.  I don't want no stinking lecture) rofl

Ms. P.C. can rest her conscience. The built up pieces she thought was mortar was simply an accumulation of household stuff over the last 6 years. The pumpers did their job, I bought them a beer and all is right in the boonies again.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Hey guys!
 
 Glad to hear P.C. and Mr Saw have their problem under control.  Good work, guys.  Time for a cocktail!
 
 I know what you mean about the "mortar" that builds up.  Our complex's sump pump was jammed last year with a HUGE boulder of kitty litter and plastic tampax applicators that people had flushed down the toilet over the years.  Yuck.  We found out when the underground parking lot filled with water.
 
 Who really wants to drive a septic truck?  That must be one of the worst professions imaginable.

  As it turns out, the 'chunks' weren't  mortar. Septic guy says it's soap and grease that turns into these masses.  (pheww)

  I have a friend who used to be a cop, who now has a septic company.  He always says..."I used to deal with sh*t....now I deal with sh*t".

Got a real kick out of them...as we could see them...but peeps on the street couldn't...and they were whistling at the girls...and the girls had no idea where it was coming from...but..we did...and we busted them!  Have you ever seen an embarrassed lobster?  It was awesome!

Good morning Miss Pit and Lil Me

  Another beauty day here.....can't wait to get outside.

We had a couple tree guys over last night, to discuss a couple trees that could be a danger.  SIX HUNDRED BUCKS  to remove two trees.  JEEEEZZZ....I'm in the wrong business.  Oh wait.  I'm not in business.

  One is in a position that if it comes down on it's own could likely kill someone....so it's got to go.  I'm OK with THAT one.  The other is a HUGE  struggling hemlock that has a natural lean towards the house, and would wipe out the master bedroom on the second floor if IT came down. *cry*  I hate to take ANY trees down.

  Anybody have any exciting plans for this glorious day?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Yes, liquid Caesars.
 
 We were marching with Scouts.  I was panicking yesterday, as I had agreed to find a team of bodies who would distribute parade programs for the City/Rotary club and they all quit on me.  A bunch of good friends who are leaders and some good hearted kids stepped in at the last minute and got the job done!  It was all good.  We enjoyed the parade, and we'll be shown on community tv sometime in the future!

Hi tenk, pitbulla, and whoever else reads this.

  Hope the weekend brought some rest and happiness.

My weekend was beautiful.

  This weekend coming up is the May Long. I am actually going to a environmental conference with my work in Chicago. Never been there so it should be interesting to see a new place in the USA. I heard it is just a touch lively? I will have my evenings free too! Any tour guides from Chicago that want to show me around town here on DS?

  Is is not a holiday down there (USA), until the weekend after for memorial Day, so they are having the conference this weekend.

  Anybody been to Chicago that can give pointers for stuff to see?

Hi tenky!
 
 Question: Have any of you ever been evacuated from your homes before?  Our neighbourhood is on flood watch, so I'm going to start packing a "grab and go" bag.  We won't be homeless because my parents live in another area of the GVRD, so we can go there.  I'm not too worried about our posessions or our personal safety, because we live in a unit that's several stories above ground level.  It's just the stress of evacuation.
 
 Just wondering if you guys can share your experiences and give me some advice.

  Sorry about the evac...that sucks balls.

I only had to evacuate my dwelling once, when they were blowing up unexploded ordnance on base and it sparked a wildfire. I put my computer and a pile of clothes in the car. That was my evacuation plan. Hope it helps.

Post by: purelife on May 14 07 12:33
Oops, didn't mean to say that it was bad.  It's just that I grew too addicted to DS and have made a personal goal to limit my DS time to less than an hour a day.  It used to be several hours and that was dangerous as I got nothing done at work and at home.

I HEART Costco.  Though I do feel some impending guilt because I should be supporting local independent business.  But...soy milk in packs of 3, sprouted grain bread in packs of 2, mammoth jars of almond butter, large quantities of Mr LM's Gillette Mach 3 blades... it's heaven for cheap and lazy people who like to stock up.

Totally agree Lil Me.  2L of Extra Virgin Olive Oil is like 13 bucks!  CHEAP!  The chicken/vegetable chinese dumplings are a great buy.....so are the clothes... sooner or later, you and I would be dressing alike cuz I'm a-gonna buy some more clothes at Costco now that I have the freedom to return clothes (if they don't fit) any time!  I wished that they had changing rooms, though.

2 dollar bottle of wine.

 You're not missing much. If you like coffee with lots of cream &amp; sugar, "double double", I guess it's drinkable. I drink my coffee black. Tim Horton's black tastes like old dirty dishwater.

 Starbucks bold / dark has flavour.

 
 


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Agreed on the coffee, Schady.  I drink double-doubles at TH and black everywhere else.

Well, I LOVE  Costco.  You can have TH's AND Starbucks.  Timmy's coffee it too watery and week, and Starbucks is bitter.

  The last thing I would ever accuse Costco of is having cheap products.  I find they have pretty good quality stuff.....and always some unusual unique stuff that you don't find in your regular department stores.

Hi, folks.  I had a wonderful meal tonight.  Barbecued steak, baked potato and corn,  from the BBQ I bought at WalMart today.....and assembled.  Patting self on back!!!

I found a great bargain on it.  Just $69.00!  What a job to assemble it though.  Three pages of letters and numbers for parts, and diagrams with so many lines pointing everywhere that I thought I needed an engineering degree just to get it together!    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 15 07 08:21
Salmon and shell fish.....oyster bars.  

Other than that, most of our 'Canadian' cuisine is 'borrowed'.  Eastern Canada has the Scottish influence.....Central Canada has the French influence.....the prairies has the Ukranian influence.  B.C. seems to tap into a mix of everything.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Hi Miss Kitten.  We just bought a new Bar-B too.  So nice to have !  (the other TWO....yes TWO) will become a feature at our next garage sale.  Mr. Sawdust likes to keep up on these things.....lol

  Your dinner sounds quite yummy indeed !!!!

  *Good job on the assembly.....they never make the 'destructions' easy, do they!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on May 15 07 08:26
Hi kitten!  I know what you mean about building a BBQ.  It sucks.  It's hard to hold the bolts in place and turn the wrench at the same time.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 15 07 08:27
Hi, P.C.  I imagine the one you bought is a lot fancier than mine.  I only need enough space for one or two people though.

  I think they feel that the harder you work, the more you will enjoy the results.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 15 07 08:29
We're thinking about getting a bbq of some kind. I wouldn't mind.
P.C have you ever had a Nanaimo Bar?
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 15 07 08:30
Hi, Lil Me.  I had my friend come over to read the directions so I didn't have to keep looking at the manual.  But four arms would have been useful.  (at least!)  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 15 07 08:33
There's some truth to that Kitten.  Everything always tastes better if you had to struggle to get it.....LOL   Sawdust is getting pretty good at putting these things together.  We got home after 4, and we had company coming, and he had it together in time for dinner.

    Tasted Nanaimo Bars ????   I make killer Nanaimo Bars.  They are sinfully decadent.

Mr. Sawdust must be a genius!  It took me a long time just to unwrap all the parts and find out what they were.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on May 15 07 08:39
Hi P.C.!  *waves*
 
 kitten-I'm with you on the assembly.  I can't figure out which bolts are which.  Heckyl usually helps me.  But, I try to leave as much as possible for Mr LM (the pencil crayon stuck in the sink, the new light fixtures from Home Depot which are still in the boxes...)
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 15 07 08:41
I always seem to be short of screws and bolts when I'm assembling something.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 15 07 08:42
Well I think he's a genius.....but mostly it stems from buying a new bar-b every couple years....lol  I think he could put them together with one eyeball tied behind his back.

  The only reason we had 2 bar-b's is because when we got the last new one, it didn't have a rotisserie.  (I gave it to him for father's day or something I think, and he was too polite to say anything)  So we kept the old one for rotiss.....and the new one for everything else.  We bar-b year round, so they get their workout.

I would gladly have left it for someone if there had been anyone to leave it to, Lil Me.  Naturally there were a couple of washers missing, but I happened to have a few the right size in my tool box.

 We did that in Calgary.  Minus 30 outside.  Pull the BBQ as close to the patio door as you can, and stand just inside with a ski jacket on.  When you've gotta have a steak... you've gotta have a steak!
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 15 07 08:47
A rotisserie didn't come with mine, but at that price I didn't really expect one.  It would be nice to have, though.  I think I will be using it quite a lot this summer.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 15 07 08:52

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on May 15 07 08:54
I don't have a rotisserie, either.  I'm going to try putting a roast on one side of the BBQ and turning on the opposite burner for indirect heat.  I've been served this type off BBQ roast at peoples' houses- and it's awesome.

I bought a couple of thick pork chops that I might try tomorrow.  My friend is supplying the veggies and salad.  It's either that or steak again.  That sounds like a great idea, Lil Me.  Let me know how it turns out if you decide to do a roast that way.

Morning Everyone!
 Life is good now that I have a coffee elf.  Heckyl has been waking up early and making me coffee.  Granted, there's usually coffee grounds all over the floor, but he's learning.  Must find a way to curb his habit of "taking things apart" out of curiosity.  Yesterday morning the coffee grinder was in pieces :( and I don't like 3D puzzles first thing in the am.

 You can get brats but they're imported from the US.

This is the only brats I've seen around New Westminster. There are probably others but I don't look for it.

  Another sausage popular in Winnipeg and on the prairies is Farmer's Sausage.

One of the best comes from Winkler Meats. (Winkler being a small Mennonite town south of Wpg.)

Hi pl.  No, not going anywhere (I wish!).  Another lacrosse tourney, but probably taking Sunday off lacrosse to go to Gambier and back with my parents.  Having a backyard BBQ and doing the firepit thing with some friends on Sat night.  That's about it.
 
 Heckyl and Jeckyl LOVE Granville Island, but I try to avoid the place unless it's at 9am on a weekday (claustrophobia).  My parents like to take them there.

It's the May Long weekend (Victoria Day) so Monday is a stat holiday.

Ah so its the Canadian Memorial day?
okay I'll write that down Victoria day is a week before memorial day.

Parents don't want me working to death. Basically whatever money I make I'll use it as my college money so I don't run out.

Hi Lise.......miss you tons.  I know 'life calls' sometimes......lol.  

  I loved yer pics from your Island trip.  I was wondering if you took a little tour around the Wickaninnish.  It's quite beautiful.  (an nice treat for an anniversary get away [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c032.gif" border=0])

Greetings Ms. PC.

  We did stop by that W.... (I'm callin' it Willy Place for now) for a short while. We couldn't do anything special because of the kids. It was next to impossible to sit in a restaurant and not have part of your hair eating the food or your stomach in knots because you have to wolf down your food in 10 mins. From what we can see, the place looks awesome.

  Who knows? Perhaps when the kids are grown up, we can go back and have something special, like dinner, there. It does look wonderful.

  We had lunch at this wonderful place called the Blue Heron. Best damn clam chowder ever!

  Thanks again for the tip on Crystal Cove. Absolutely love the place. Staff were super, super friendly. The place was so clean and warm, complete with a full kitchen and fireplace. Our window looked out to the beach and it was sooooo nice to have breakfast and stare out at the beach. We may go back next time. Perhaps have one of those tree top cabin where you  have a hot tub on the top deck.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 20 07 08:59
I'm so glad you enjoyed it.  It's very family friendly, and the staff IS really nice.

  So when and where is your next little retreat?

Our next stop is Harrison Hot Springs. I'm thinking of bringing everyone there, including the furball. Possibly next month or in July. I love that place. Last time I was there they had a sandcastle competition. Folks were lovely and friendly.      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on May 20 07 09:04
Ride to Tofino is....... interesting. Yep, super windy, lots of twist and turns.... but the view was breathtaking. I mean, miles and miles of forrest, mountains, lakes and rivers. Fantastic. We even saw a deer running across the road. I had to yell to hubby to watch out but it was well worth the scare.

  Heya Ms. purelife. Pomeranian, eh? Good Lord! Good luck to her. Pommies are cute but they sure are neurotic at times.

  Here's one of the shots we took as we drove to Tofino. One of the many stops for diaper/potty/whatever change. It was cold, rainy and wet when we went. The river, I think it's called Kennedy River was raging at the time.

Good morning!  It IS beautiful today.  I'm thinking I must try to get more junk unloading done, but it looks like it will be perfect for barbeque later on.  How about you?  How is the painting going?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 28 07 08:52
Junk unloading seems like a nasty job when it's such a beautiful day out there.

  Painting is going...um....fine.  I got the second storey done.....all that remains is the final 4 or 5 feet at the peak, the railing 'pickets' (major nuisance, as there is wisteria intertwined all through it) and the back of the house.  (I discovered that I think I exaggerated about the height of the house.....not intentionally.....it's only 3 storeys at the peak...not 3 and a half)  either way, it's spooky high.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 28 07 08:56
Painting seems like a nasty, scary job when it's so nice out.  Sitting in the sun with a cold drink and a good book sounds a lot better.  You are progressing very quickly on the painting, though.  Soon you'll be finished with it and you can sit in the sun and admire the "new" house.  Either that or find another project.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/12.gif)

I believe there will be some sitting in the sun on today's agenda.  Everything I own is sore.

A little garden puttering for starters.

  There is never a shortage of projects, lol.  Of course indoor projects go on the back burner until winter.

  DS is running painfully slow for me this morning.  Anyways.....I'd best pop into the shower.  I have to get cleaned up so I can go out and get filthy.

Thank goodness for bocca burgers and salads.

Last night was indian food, tonight just bocca burgers and a salad.

soy beans basically it tastes like chicken but healthier.

Just like I think soy milk tastes better then regular milk.

Has anyone tried the Edimami beans from Costco?

I have. They come in a box of six (?) individual sized servings. Microwave for 3 minutes.

I've only had Edimami at Shabuzen in Vancouver. After you salt, they tasted the same.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I have never been there but I kinda know the owner. He's honest.

  There is a used car lot a block away on 12th that is supposed to be one of the most reputable used car dealers in the GVRD, (According to CTVNews, Olsen on your side) right beside the Toyota dealer.

I've heard that Key West was a good place.

  Everyone here still uses MPG because it seems to make more sense and easier to understand than

  8 litres per 100 km.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 29 07 12:40
thanks for the info. Yeah the 8 to 100 thing is a bit confusing to me. I like the metric system overall though. Much easier to figure out everything in 10's not 12's and goofy ass numbers.

Another one that's going to be hard for me to drop is the word acre to hectre. I grew up on a farm so acre is burned into my brain.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Schadenfreude on May 29 07 12:51
Only people who want to appear like they know something more than others use hectare.

I have never heard anyone use it except for news reporters.

Average people use acres.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 29 07 12:55
but they're talking about the acre in hectres but not using hectres, right? Or are they really talking in acres to acres and not saying acres when really meaning hectres?

Try the Edimami from Costco, unless you dislike soybeans.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on May 29 07 02:50
I'll look out for it, but I'm not much of a fan of soy products.  :)))

  Is it in the same aisle with all the nuts and packaged gums/candies?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Schadenfreude on May 29 07 02:52
It's in the frozen foods. A Costco sized box of individual packets. Microwave for 3 minutes.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on May 29 07 02:56
Are they the same as the salted peas in the pod treat?  I've had those one time at a Pub and they were delicious.  I'll look out for those edamames... I'll let you know if I buy them.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Schadenfreude on May 29 07 03:07
They are called Peggy's Premium Edamame. They are the whole pod that you squeeze the beans out into your mouth with your teeth.

I've written that down.  I love those peas/pod thingees.  They're addictive.  Goes well with beer too, as I'm told.

  What else do you like from Costco?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

The spinach and feta turkey sausages.

Seasoned lamb chops.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on May 29 07 03:40
Oooooh. Edamame. My favorite. Absolutely brilliant. Our nutritionist said it's one of the best veggies to snack on if you're feeling peckish. I have bags in the freezer for Lise Jr. who loves them.

  You can get them cheap sometimes at T &amp; T. Two bags for under $5.00.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

spinach and feta sausages?  That sounds delicious!  I think that I've seen that one but haven't tried it yet.

 Yeah I guess. Most things are in the huge family sized package. And if you are not savey, you will over pay on some items.

So true Schade.  Many....most things are a really good deal.....and often those that seem like they're not are of a better quality.  But there still remains some common everyday stuff that's just NOT cheaper or better.

Have you checked out this site Kitten.  I've become too lazy these days to keep on top of coupons etc., but many years ago when I was living on a shoestring with 3 kids, they came in mighty handy.

[A href="http://save.ca/en/index.htm"]http://save.ca/en/index.htm[/A]

    PLUS, our local grocery store used to have Triple Value Tuesdays......which meant they would give you triple the value of all your coupons.  Some stuff you'd pay only pennies and some stuff nothing at all.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 29 07 08:27
I did check it out, but first I need some ink for my printer.  I haven't seen any stores that offer that kind of bargain, though.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 29 07 08:33
This site has some that you print......others, you just tick the boxes of the items you want, and they will be in the mail the next day.  Some are really great.....like last week, one was for a free litre of Tropicana fruit juice.  There are often free offers.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 29 07 08:36
I hadn't realized that they would send coupons to you.  I'll have to go back to that site.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 29 07 08:44
I haven't used it yet.....I just came across it the other day.  I asked hubby to check it out for me, as I'm always leary of anything where I have to send my address.  He said he'd check it out as soon as he gets a chance.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I'm in love with Mary Jane.
She's my main thing.
She makes me feel alright.
She makes my heart sing.

  And when I'm feeling low,
She comes as no surprise.
Turns me on with her love.
Takes me to paradise.

Oh you bet I have a libation.  We had our friends visit tonight......the one who was an upper management guy at my last job.  We were VERY close friends up until I quit, and we haven't gotten together since.  It was sad, because we loved them to bits......but it was awkward.  Nothing was said about the situation tonight, but I'm sure it will come up at some point, now that the ice has been broken.

That does make it difficult, since it is so hard to bring something like that up in conversation.  But as theysay, "Time heals all wounds", so eventually it will come up in conversation without the emotional overload.  I'm so glad that it didn't  stop the friendship entirely.

 Here is why I'm cheering more for the Ducks than Ottawa.

 I'm originally from Winnipeg.

 1) Teemu Selane was the classiest player to sign with the Jets. That @sshole Keith Tkachuk would sign a two year contract and sit out after the first year demanding more money, the prick. Teemu was happy just to play.
2) Randy Carlisle. After being traded to Wpg from Pittsburgh became one of the loyalest Jets, even staying in Winnipeg after his playing career ended to coach the AHL Manitoba Moose after the Jets left.

 3) Brian Burke. Vancouver's biggest mistake getting rid of him.

 4) Anaheim has more Canadians on the team than Ottawa.

Anaheim is the most Canadian team of the two so I am hoping they win.  I also think they are the better team and deserve to win.

Well he did a little painting this morning.  I had skipped over a few spots, plus yesterday, he got up to the peak in the front done.  There's really very little to go.....a little picky stuff, and then the back which will wait until we get scaffolding.

  It's so close to done, really.

During the troubles with the Separation movement in Quebec a lot of businesses moved to Toronto.  I think it may have damaged the economy in Quebec for a while.

yeah I knew about the businesses moving from Montreal to Quebec. I've got separatist friends or PQ voters they pretty much have come to the conclusion that its just not possible. Although one of them still thinks its the 1960's. The ones that are hard liners are so easy to debate because they live in fantasy land.

Ah I knew about the steam engine, I was thinking that in the future BC needs a high speed rail network. Less cars on mountain roads is better all around.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jun 03 07 04:29
Canadian National Railway has rail lines through B.C. that are used mainly for transporting freight.  Their safety record is getting poorer every year, it seems, but they own the rail lines.  There is also West Coast Express that brings commuters into the city, but there aren't that many runs per day.  I think it is only four runs a day, but I'm not sure.  There is a lot of space between places in B.C., and it would be extremely expensive to run rail lines through if only four or five people can be expected to board the train on any given day.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 03 07 04:32
I know but this century will be the decline of oil, we can't expect a car to get us from place to place. So a high speed rail link to places like Kelowna, Kamloops, Calgary must be explored because we are going into an era where oil will be scarce and we must conserve as much as possible.

I think they're expanding west coast service. I remember reading it somewhere.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jun 03 07 04:41
Where you live there is high density population.  Towns string out along the way with little distance in between.  Here you might find it hard to believe the distance between one settled place and another.  Another thing is that for a good part of the year the lines are snow-covered, with frequent rock slides and avalanches.  Road maintenance is costly, and track maintenance would be expensive as well.  It is probably cheaper to fly from Vancouver to inland cities than to drive or take a train.  Check a map for distances and you will see what I mean.  Did you see Ms. Pitbull's pics about the landslide that has closed access to her town for several days?  These things aren't exactly rare with all the hills and mountains.  That's why running a rail line across Canada was such a huge acheivement.

 yup I saw those. But what happens when we don't have the fuel to fuel the planes? There is an end game with gasoline. Last time I checked they aren't trying to make airplanes run on anything other then oil.

While a long rail connection through out the region isn't in the near future, trains up to Whistler and Pemberton can be done, expansion of West Coast, high speed rail link in the Windsor-Quebec corridor.

We've got to find other modes to get around that's all.

That will take money, and remember our population of taxpayers is only about a tenth of yours, if that.  Health care takes up a fair amount of our budget, which isn't the case in the States.  It's a matter of priorities.

Canada doesn't because of priorities.  There is suddenly money for the military, but there isn't that much for transportation.  The money gets shifted around according to the wishes of the party in power, and right now it's about the military, thanks primarily to a certain G. Bush.

 True and Martin wasn't much better either. He killed the Windsor-Quebec high speed rail project.
When Harris took over in Ontario he basically killed all funding for public transportation, Toronto was building a new subway line and he stopped it. Before Harper went 'green' (lol) his environmental minister Baird killed the 1 billion dollar public transportation project for Ottawa and Gatineau region.

If the federal government had a plan like the rest of the world where the provinces and federal meet 50/50 on public transportation. Lines like Milenium would go all the way to UBC instead of stopping half way at Artibus sector and having fast buses take people all the way to UBC. That's the most silliest idea I've ever heard. That's a giant headache waiting to happen. Any normal thinking person can see how silly that plan is going to be.

I have an animated screen saver that shows rippling ocean waters and white clouds drifting past, and you occasionally hear seagulls in the background.  To me this is a memory of when I would go down to the wharf in Saint John, N.B. and just sit and watch the water and the boats and daydream of travelling to some far-off place.  It is incredibly relaxing.  Just the sound of the water is so soothing.

The patio door is always locked slightly open to let some air in.  But the cat can't go out, and not a lot of air comes in either.

I will have to turn off the loud one, or my neighbours won't be able to sleep.  Mind you, I don't see how they can sleep in this heat anyway.

It will be the customary "booby" prize, tenkani.  Hope you enjoy it.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: PostMonkee @(^_^)@ on Jun 04 07 08:35
Tenkani is too lazy to post here so early in the morning.

That's why he pays me to do it for him.

I'm supposed to say "happy monday" now and also "HUGS!!!!"

*yawn*
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jun 04 07 08:39
May I say that you are doing the job just as well as Master tenkani would.  Give tenkani a big hug from me, would you?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: PostMonkee @(^_^)@ on Jun 04 07 08:43
I don't think he'll approve of the hug. He's afraid of getting fleas.

He's also afraid of water, heights, blue things and cows but you didn't hear that from me.

What's for Lunch?

  I have a nasty little secret.  I have a weakness for white squishy bread.  Every once in a blue moon, I just gotta toss the roughage aside and go for the fluffy indulgence of pillow soft white bread. And I have found the ultimate substitution with the least amount of guilt.  Dempsters Smart bread.  It's actually made with whole grains.....but it's just like 'oh so bad for you' decadent softy bread.

  So.....laying on ever so tenderly, succulent thin slices of breast meat from last nights chicky on the spit, and delicately anointing it with dollops of cranberry sauce.......sammy heaven.

 Until you've tried cat-flavoured coffee, don't knock it.  Cats make the BEST coffee.  Marsupials don't even come close.  That's because it is a lot harder to get a cat to swallow coffee beans on a regular basis.

Hi Stephanie R.....welcome to DS.

  A turkey sammy and a cookie.  Sounds good !!!!!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 04 07 08:40
Funny thing about my grandparents hungarian food is that its not traditional hungarian food nor is it traditional german food. Its german food mixed with hungarian spices (paprika) and hungarian influences. Has to do with the fact that there were a bunch of germans in Hungary for hundreds of years. They never mingled with the Hungarian population so they never assimilated but they took Hungarian cooking and mixed it with traditional german food.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jun 04 07 08:43
That would be mainly in the western part of Hungary, from when Austria and Hungary were united.  Since the Turks occupied a lot of the eastern part of Hungary the cooking influences were quite different from one area to another.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 04 07 08:48
Yup. My grandpa grew up near the Austrian border. Some time during this decade I'm going to find it.
There was the gypies, germans and hungarians. Each had there own little village. The german villages never mingled with the hungarian villages and visa versa. Then the gypies never really had there own village they just lived where ever. This isolation didn't help after the war. The Germans were used as scape goats by the Hungarian population and sent all the german villagers in the Western part of the country to drop all german related customs, learn hungarian, stop speaking german, and some like my grandmother were sent off to Soviet workers Camps. Funny because my grandma's family was going to stay. lol Stalin changed that though.

My mom doesn't get how a 3hr job in the middle of the night can mess the rest of the day up for someone. I told her its not rocket science to why, I'm working when people are sleeping, I'm sleeping when people are working. lol getting up in the middle afternoon is not the ideal life.

Sure.  I worked 7 days a week until they called in an agency to work evenings and Monday and Tuesday.  Talk about burnout!

  Working graveyard does have its drawbacks.  It's harder to sleep in the daytime.  Is this still the Lunch thread or did it escape again?

  Tia Carrera is 40. She's hot. I saw your pic a long time ago on the other site.

You have a striking resemblance to Tia, ergo you are hot!

According to Google, these are size 16 women.

I find them all sexy and voluptuous.

Sexiness is all in the presentation. I can not stand Paris Hilton because her personality is nonexistent.

Your personality from what I've seen is flirty and friendly. The curves add to it.

I've seen a few women, larger than size 12 the center of attention at parties because they were confident. Don't become one of the gullible women and think you have to have a playmate figure to be attractive.

Hi Lunchies!
 
 What's for lunch?  I'm befuddled by my lack of microwave.  Must buy a replacement one later today.  I've been drinking cold coffee.  I heated leftover rice and some chicken bao in the steamer pot.  I have no idea how previous generations survived without a micro.  How the heck did anyone eat popcorn? LOL.

Is it yellow?

What is it composed of?

Spicy?

From whence does it come?

Is it bigger than a bread box?

 Hi Isis!
 
 Monkee- bao is a steamed bun.  Dimsum food.  I'm not sure they let monkeys into the bakery (no shoes, no shirt), but you can probably send tenkani to go buy you one.

I was thinking more along the lines of 'required' textbooks you will need for your course.  Not what your local library is carrying.  It would be well worth your effort to track them down there as opposed to buying them here.  Surely there must be a course outline that would give you that information?

Okay on the admissions form it told me to put down a major I would plan on studying. I put down Geography-Urban Growth Stream. (There's three forms of geography major mine is the urban planning route)

When I got my acceptance letter it said "you will start in September and be majoring in Geography-Urban Growth".

So I was told to declare in the admission process. While the first year is generally all other classes I'm suppose to take some Geography classes.

Look similar to a US college........these are core courses for the major.  I bet you will need to take English, a foreign language, Humanities, physical sciences, math, etc. to graduate.

 okay

Usually you're suppose to take 6 credits of English. But if I get a B or better in the English 111 and English 115 I get exempt.
These two classes are [span id="ctl00_CoursesContent_CoursesList1_Output"][/span][span style="font-weight: normal;"]Literature and Writing I and  Literature and Writing II.

Then for Science:
I'm going to have to take a lot of science classes. Doesn't bother me, I love science classes.

Math:
Only required math I seem to run across for my major is minor classes like principles of Math and Applications of Math.
[/span]  

lol no money bags here.  I wish though.  Couldn't afford any US schools.

 I didn't separate the gravy from the pork. Usually you just take the pork out of the gravy when cooking. So on a dish we'd have pork on the plate with mash potatoes with the gravy poured over everything. I just didn't have mash potatoes on hand so it looks like a soup when it isn't.

I bet that is a carry-over from the concentration camp days when she ate anything she could get.  Some people get very frugal and don't want to waste anything.  Years ago I knew a man who used to hang teabags up to dry and reuse them until there was no flavour left at all.  Same reason.

yup that's the reason. She was in the concentration camp/workers camp during her teen years so that's still her outlook. She doesn't like it when you don't eat everything on the table.
That's how she survived. She's talked about the moldy bread watching people starve to death etc.

goodmorning peeps.  The sun is shining! The water receded a foot or so yesterday.  We are sticking to reality...and knowing...that the forecast is...river receding...but more rain to come.  We are still expecting the river to rise again.  It is still extrememly formidable.  People aren't racing to clean up or rebuild yet..as the fun isn't over.  Our hotels are full...the local motor home businesses are donating travel trailers for people to stay in.  Local business are gathering up food to donate to emergency services.  The government is providing emergency funding to people displaced...but is giving them a bit of  a hard time.  They have to apply every day to be sure to have room and board.  Many places are still in the drink.  I am safe.  Much of our town is actually safe.  They aren't reporting that in the news.  It is people that are lining our river that are in dire need.  That is just a long winded update y'all....want to hit the sun while it is still here!!!!!!

Have a great day!

It's made by Highliner, and it comes in individual packets with sauce.  I find it works best in the oven, although I have microwaved it before.  Just doesn't taste the same.

Microwaving is an awesome way to cook fish.  Cover with plastic wrap and cook for 1min at a time, check it.  You don't overcook the fish and it isn't dry like baking, and doesn't stink up the house like stovetop.
 
 My mom cooks all her fish in the micro- including Chinese-style with soy, green  onion and cilantro.

I always bake it in foil with a little water so it won't dry out.  I find with the fish in sauce I don't need the water because it stays moist.

good tip.  Thanks, kitten!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I learned that the hard way.  I don't like trying to chew fish leather, so I tried water to see if it would help.

  Lil Me....you must try halibut boiled.  It's soooo yummy.  Cut into bite size cubes and drop them into boiling water.   Drizzle with a wee bit of melted garlic butter.  (or dip like lobster)  

It's called poor mans lobster, and it's awesome.  

  I was a little nervous to toss perfectly good halibut into boiling water, but it was delectable.  It's very fast too.

   [DIV style="COLOR: #772222"]Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar to each quart of water. Bring to boil. Drop in bite sized pieces of halibut. When fish comes to top of water, it's cooked. Serve with melted butter and lemon if desired.[/DIV]

I must try that, even though it does sound like a waste of perfectly good halibut.
 
 Would halibut fondue be good?  Hmmm..
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jun 09 07 08:06
I recall my mother simmering chunks of halibut in milk and butter.  At the time I thought it was good, but I had nothing to compare it with so I can't say for sure.

try natural honey if you must sweeten, or just have fruit, a better choice - the body can't handle refined sugar

Mine's doing OK so far.  I hear where you're coming from, but it's just my choice.  I suppose I could buy an extra 5 years in the retirement home, by eliminating all guilty pleasures, but I just prefer not to.  I'm no health buff, and I indulge in a lot of things I shouldn't.....but I believe in moderation.  I also lean ever so slightly to believing that you teach your body what it can tolerate.  I've known too many health buffs who spend 3 nights a week in the gymn and another 2 playing sports that have keeled over before they hit 40.

Not a fan of sugar in our household. Diabetes and all. It's the enemy. I don't use sugar in my cooking, just baking. Splenda works quite well though it's a bit iffy when it comes to baking.

  For some reason I can't stand honey. Don't know why. Maybe it's the thought of sticky icky stuff coming out of a bug's butt that turns me off.

  No wait... hang on..... nevermind.

Top of the morning from the corn fields. Went into the woods yesterday my cousin is in the planning stages of building a house in the forest on a bluff over looking the farm land. Pretty sweet except for the ticks. Went fishing caught some bass, they're getting huge in my cousins too big to be a pond too small to be a lake behind his house. Might go out on the lake today.

Ah geesh, I missed Russ by a whole day!  :(((((((  I MISS YOU LOTS RUSS!  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/2.gif) Oh, Ms PC, LOVE your run down of us!  TOO CUTE.  I had a few chuckles, okay, I lied, I LOLZ! ;)

So, yesterday, we went on our verrrrry first road trip.  We drove to Seattle Premium Outlets, then to Downtown Seattle, saw the Space Needle, been to Barnes and Noble, and then went to Northgate Mall, went to Target, walked through Macy's....

I'm going to have lots of fun looking for places to visit.  I still don't know where are the good shopping districts at downtown Seattle.  Everything there was too expensive for us.  

And going in and out of the border was a BREEZE!!!  I even made the Customs guy chuckle.  hee heee...

So, just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful afternoon!  Gotta head out soon. :))) and HUGZZZ to all!


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jun 10 07 05:02
 Sounds like a wonderful day, pl.  So glad to hear you're out having fun in the new car!
 
 I usually shop at Costco (butter, red wine) and Target (clothes, bedsheets, drug store stuff, food).  I've never been to the Premium Outlet. Worth the trip?
   
 ADD: What's for dinner?  I'm gonna BBQ some teriyaki steaks.
 Went to Hands Across the Border today with Scouts.  They close the Peace Arch border crossing every year for US and Canadian Scouts and Guides to meet and trade badges.  We had a BBQ there, went in the big parade under the Peace Arch, stayed for the National Anthems and the flag raisings- then the rain started and it was time to pack up for the long drive home.  Now I can rest up until Year End Camp next weekend on the Sunshine Coast.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jun 10 07 07:34
It looks like you had a great day, Lil Me.  And barbeque is always good.  I like the teriyaki barbeque sauce.  One of the nicest ones, or do you make your own basting sauce?

  No supper for me.  Just don't feel hungry, so I had a slice of cheese bread.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jun 10 07 09:12
Hey Lil Me and Kitten.

We had some pho for dinner.  And now, I feel sick....

We didn't end up buying much from the Seattle Outlet stores, Lil Me.  There were many trendy clothing stores that I wasn't into.  Bras were my best buy there.  We only spent about 1.5 hours walking around there.  That Outlet store is too hyped up, imo.  

Your dinner sounds tasty though...

Hi kitten!  It was the marinated steaks from M&amp;M.  Very tasty.  Very tender.
 
 Hi pl!  I bought bras the other day, too.  25% off at The Bay.  I just discovered the Triumph petites (specially for A and B cup sizes).  I had been wearing the regular Triumph t-shirt bras, but they were a bit "roomy".  (I know you don't have this problem...)

 Evening Ms Kitten.

I really really enjoyed our trip.  We are definitely going down there again verrry soon, with more money. :)  We have so many places to check out, like Blaine and Bellingham. We have plans to check out Interior BC and the Coast as I've never been there as well.  Yes, sad, I know. :((((

How is your evening going so far Ms Kitten?  Relaxing?

I had a Triumph bra but didn't like it as it didn't last long for me...me thinks that I brought the wrong one...  I found out that I was wearing the wrong size of bra this weekend.  I really liked the Jockeys bra.  Oh, we even visited Victoria Secret but didn't see anything that really fancied my eyes.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

hee hee... morning Ms PC. :)

  color is a dark bluish with purpleish...

  I LOVED our trip.  It felt like a long weekend and it was one of our best getaways.  Anywhere but Vancouver is AWESOME.  (yes, I'm dissing Vancouver as you know how much I feel about Vancouver)

  No shopping spree, really.  Spent most of my time driving and exploring teh big dept. stores.  

  I concluded that Downtown Seattle is just like Downtown Vancouver 'cept bigger!

The Outlet stores are wayyyy too hyped up.

Target is just like Zellers but cheaper.

Space Needle wasn't too impressive.

Victoria Secret isn't impressive  It's just like La Senza here.

  Oh, we saw Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee's grave site.  That was pretty cool. :))))

Sounds like an enjoyable weekend purelife......good for you.

  I'm with you on the Outlet stores.  I'm not sure I've ever found exceptional deals there.  I like places like TJ Max and Ross's......now there's some good deals.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jun 11 07 09:36
I've never heard of TJ's.  Do you like JC Penny?  We saw Ross but didn't go in there but will next time.  Have you checked out Kohl's before?  

  What kind of stuff does TJ Max sell?      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jun 11 07 09:46
Ross's is like a Winners.....except more variety, more selection and better prices.  Clothing, housewares, gifty stuff.......love that place.

TJ Max is also like a Winners and Ross's.....but with higher end merchandise and of course higher prices, but still lower than you would pay in your regular department stores.

  Hey Schadey.  I did check out the cars in New West lots and they were expensive and in such crappy condition.  The one I got was off of Craigslist.

  There was one 92 VW Jetta, black, from the lot that was in an accident and the guy was asking for $3700!  NO FREAKING WAY!  I wouldn't even pay $1500.

Knowing used car prices gives the buyer a lot of power. A print shop in Winnipeg prints a "Gold Book" with all used car's prices. One time I went into a car lot, looked up the price of a car I liked and started talking to a sales guy. He gives me their price and then says make an offer. I offered what the Gold Book said. With a kinda shocked look on his face he asked me "How did you come up with that number?" He wouldn't sell it to me for that price and I said I wasn't paying any more so I walked away.

Hope everyone is having a good summer.

It has been a blast so far for me (and technically, not even summer for a week and a half).



Went to Chicago awhile back for a conference. Holy Sh*t! What a fast moving place!

Just got back from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Gorgeous! I am heading back there mid summer, hopefully in time for an apocalyptical style hurricane. We are expanding our office there and they are needing assistance. There is a chance I may be moving there in the late fall. There is an opportunity that will be hard to turn down. Guess I can always come back for snowboard trips and family visits. I will make a final decision in August.



Anyways, keep on LIVING! Hopefully your summer brings friends, good music, laughs. Try to keep the computer and TVs off! Go see something new, whether it is down the block, or in another part of the world!

Hi purelife and P.C.!!! *heart stops for a second*

  Very crazy busy summer indeed.

  Yep, it would be a permanent move if I wanted it to be. I wouldn't be selling my home here yet. I would rent it out for a year term. I would go down at least 1 year as per an agreement, visa, etc.  It would take some time actually living there to make sure I like it.

I've always been somewhat health conscious.....more so when I was younger....less so now, but still eat a well balanced diet.  I eat dessert probably 6 times a year.....don't do chips and crap like that.  Fast food......the barest minimum.  Once a month or so.  

  I always get riled when someone tells me what I shouldn't eat.  I liken it to someone shoving their bible down my throat.

I tried putting Copenhagen up my nose once. The other times I bought actual snuff. I used Copenhagen the most. Chewed RedMan a few times. Switched to Skoal for about 6 years before I quit in 2001. I've tried the Bandits, cherry flavour, mint flavour, straight. Prefered classic the best.

Big Me was fixing the door and he found that
he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife,
Lil Me, to the hardware store.

At the hardware store while she was waiting
for Carl, the manager, to finish waiting on a
customer, Lil Me saw a beautiful teapot on a
top shelf.

When Carl was finished, Lil Me asked how much
for the teapot.

Carl replied, "That's silver and it costs $100!"

"My goodness, that sure is a lotta money!" Lil Me
exclaimed. Then she proceeded to describe the
hinge that Big Me had sent her to buy, and Carl
went to the back room to find it.

From the back room Carl yelled, "Lil Me, you
wanna screw for that hinge?"

Lil Me replied, "No, but I will for the teapot."

This is why you shouldn't send a woman to the
hardware store.

Oh, uh, in case others are wondering why sex is in in this lunch thread, well, sex and lunch go hand-in-hand. ;)  Without lunch, there wouldn't be sex.  Or was it the other way around?

Hi Devil   [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/a010.gif" border=0]         It's sunny here as well, but breezy and quite cool. Got an early start on the yard and gardens and general outdoor chores this season, as to afford kicking back, guilt free, and have some time to enjoy.  So far, not so good for June.  I actually put a fire on yesterday.

June is nice though. Everything is still fresh and the air is nice. We have already had a couple heat waves here, but the last week has been cooler and wet. So seeing the sun today made me smile.

Got the passport finished. Now tomorrow I've got to go back into the city and get my birth certificate again, which went with my passport info. Then I've got to get my medical records, then a medical exam. Then I've got to fill out 20 pages of forms and then I'm finished.

Tonight: sliced broccoli, carrots and a turnip.
 
 I used to steam on the stove, too. (with medicore results because I didn't always babysit my veggies)  But my newfangled microwave has pre-set buttons for cooking different things, so I had to try them out.  (my old micro was 10+ yrs old and a piece of junk)

Neat-o!  That must be a time saver.  Hmmm, I should check my microwave too and try out the steaming thing.

 In Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which according to Wikipedia is at 52 degrees N, the sun sets at between 9 and 9:30 PM due to their inability to change the clocks during daylight savings time. Therefore the sun rises at 4:00 AM. I played slowpitch in Winnipeg  that is at 49 degrees N and there is light there until after 10 PM, plenty of time to play a double header. I umpired slowpitch when I moved to S'toon and one of the tactics a top team used was after getting a lead, they would stall and stall until the game was called on account of darkness, (9ish). I told the pitcher I knew what he was trying and I would toss him if  he continued. They ended up losing HA.
 So with the sun rising so early in S'toon, the birds start chirping at 3 - 3:30 AM.It's annoying to sleep with the windows open. They are not very bright in Saskatchewan. Someone called it the Mississippi of the North. It's easy to see why.

Yeah last year it didn't go below 38 C for 3 weeks in July. And a couple years ago it was over 100F (37.8C) for an entire month and about 100 people died.
And its never 'dry' heat. Its 'wet' heat with high humidity. So its hard to breathe.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 14 07 09:59
The thing to watch out for here is the heat index. when it gets that hot out. People think it just normal heat where it feels that temp. But in reality the heat index in the hot summer months hover around 43 C during the summers.
So if its 38 C out the 'real feel' is 43-45 C (110 F)

That sucks, SD.  I've found you can remove alot of vehicle carpet stains with Armour All cleaning wipes (I'm lazy).  It removes grease and coffee stains, so why not Hawaiian Punch.
 
 Totally OT, I haven't had Hawaiian Punch for years.  I didn't know they still sell it.  We used to buy it in big metal CANS.  Punch two triangle holes and stick the can in the fridge.

 Oh they still sell it here in the midwest at least. Taco Bell carries it and this incident happened at Taco Bell.
Its been 3 years. I most of it out as possible. Ozzie licked all the punch off from the speakers in the back on car trips. But my car has the ability to lift the back seats up to creat this space under the seats. (its quite useless Honda took this idea and created the Fit which utilizes this idea much much better) anyway bunch got under there too. But its on the carpets, seats, ceiling, speakers, everything in my little car. :((

 Chopsticks actually are the most efficient way to eat rice from a bowl.  The correct amount of rice gets into the mouth for adequate chewing.  Typical westerners wolf down food without chewing it properly.  One can learn a lot from easterners!

Yes some of my posts may appear serious but I am doing this to bring balance to a lot of the fluff which I read here.  Thank goodness the posts aren't all the same here like that you would see in a clique's message board!  "I will not conform!"

  Well I guess there's nothing wrong with looking to get something out of a message board,  that suits you....but maybe you have to bear in mind, that some people are looking for nothing more than fluff and will gravitate to place that provides that.  

  Sometimes the balance is found in the interests of the majority.....and it would be crazy to think that anyone should conform to something that doesn't suit them.  [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffbf"](nor should you......I've heard that sentiment expressed by an old poster here).[/FONT] [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/c020.gif" border=0][/DIV]

Thank god for seat belts!  You know, it was a weird experience.  We were pushed forward and felt that "bump" and then it clicked that someone just bumped into us.  How could they?  I thought.  It was pretty stressful.  Thank goodness no one got hurt, including the car.  We just had a major headache and shoulder ache and some neck ache.

Hi Everyone!  *waves*
 
 Back from weekend Scout camp and well, we survived.  It could have been worse, I always say.  Rain, but no major injuries and and noone got lost.
 
 Feeling polticially incorrect at the moment, I will say that I have had enough of "special needs" adults who have "special needs" children with horrible, rude behaviour.  END OF RANT.

Oh, I totally understand how you're feeling Lil Me.  I feel that some parents use the "special need" label as an excuse to be rude to others.  NOT GOOD!

Anyways, I finally found a dress for the wedding next month!  YIPPEE!  I got dragged into watching Fantastic 4.  :P  Other than that, weekend has been nice.

Post by: purelife on Jun 17 07 07:44
 Hey Kitten.  Sorry, I meant someone else's wedding.  Mine would be some time next year, hopefully. :)))

And how was dinner, Kitten?  

I had some chicken breasts and am now eating some oatmeal.  I had a craving for oatmeal. :))


   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 17 07 07:45
 I disagree, unless your a parent of a special needs kid you shouldn't criticize them because its complete hell. They never grow up, they can't of course so when your 60 years old and your taking care of a 40 year old man who has the mental capacity of 5 year old maybe then you'll understand.

   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jun 17 07 07:47
Oh no, I'm not criticizing them.  I have patience and understanding for parents with ANY children, whether they are special needs or not.  All that I was saying is that some parents use that excuse to get away with things such as being rude and/or demanding.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jun 17 07 07:49
Actually, dinner wasn't.  I couldn't think of anything I wanted, so I had a few tortilla chips with salsa.  I'm always beat at the end of my work week, and don't feel like cooking.

 Chicken breasts sound good, but oatmeal.......pass!  I used to hate it when I was a kid, and never got around to changing my mind.

Post by: kitten on Jun 17 07 07:54
You got me thinking, Lil Me, and I think I know what you mean.  These kids, no matter what age, have been the total focus of their parents' lives for so long, that they expect everyone to feel the same way about them, and they get angry if other people don't cater to their children the smae way.  They also crave attention for themselves because of their difficulties in raising such a child.  Make sense to you?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 17 07 07:55
 Oh I see purelife :)
Its probably stress talking though coming from them.

I was falling asleep while working this morning I almost ran off a cliff on this one road so I stopped and took a nap for an hour. Going back to work on the first night is always the toughest.

Going to get a summer pass to the pool tomorrow, so I can swim everyday.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jun 17 07 08:02
Yes. Yes.  I know exactly what you mean, Kitten. :)  It's almost like elderly people and how they at times are just plain rude because of the excuse of "oh, I'm older than you!"  There was this one elderly women who was so rude to me on the bus when she demanded that I get off my a** off the seat and give it to her.  I didn't even see her coming in front of me, I was actually reading at that time but she just had to demand it.  She should've just asked politely and I would've gladly offered my seat because I do that ALL the time when I see someone in need.  But because she was "old," she used that excuse.  I don't respect those who do that.  I said something to her and she just gave me a glare and mumbled something about how young people are rude.  WTF?!
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jun 17 07 08:08
I've seen that so many times.  It would be so easy for them just to ask to sit because they have trouble standing, but on the other hand I've seen kids who have been sitting in classrooms all day taking up the handicapped seats and refusing to budge for the elderly.  Rude seems a lot more common now than it used to be.  I'm not saying that because I'm getting older, it's just that it is the way we were raised.  Old people can be very rude at times, and I don't understand why they would behave like that.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jun 17 07 08:12
I agree with people, in general, are getting more and more rude and less courteous, especially in Vancouver.  I was talking to a friend of mine who was pregnant and she had to take skytrain for 8 months or so.  She said that people rarely offered her a seat on the train.  That is extremely ridiculous.  Oh well, at least there are still people out there who are polite and courteous. :))
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 17 07 08:13
 its entitlement. Kids think they deserve the right to everything. Hence the 'me' generation. We've ridden the coat tales of our parents success who have then spoiled us because they want us to have things they didn't have growing up.
That's pretty common among people my age and younger. Either that or they just don't care because they live in their own little world where they are the centre of attention where they come first. That's where the rudeness in my generation comes from anyway.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Its like that everywhere purelife not just in Vancouver. Elderly man gets mugged and in front of a group of teens and the teens just stand their and do nothing while this man almost gets killed. Happened a couple weeks ago made national news here.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jun 17 07 08:55
I think all of the above scenarios are true.  But on a different vein, I think women have been their own worst enemies in SOME cases.  'We' fought for equality, and along with it, came the death of chivalry.....and in turn that swept with it, fathers teaching their sons a different way.  Guys are in a bit of a quandary....and justly so....as to whether they are being sexist in offering their seats or offering assistance in changing a flat tire, because 'we' have lumped courtesy and chivalry into one meaning.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jun 17 07 09:00
This is very true, but when it comes to a person who is having obvious difficulty such as a pregnant woman, an elderly person or one that is disabled, chivalry should still be important.  I'm not referring to just men, but to anyone that is more able to cope with mobility.  I often offered my bus seat to someone that was having difficulty standing, and thought it was a natural thing to do.  I've held doors, helped people across the street, anything that would make things a little easier for them.  Courtesy should never die.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 17 07 09:16
maybe so but if I offer a seat to a lady who looks like she needs it more or just keep the door open at a the mall when I see a family behind me or saying thank you to the bus driver or taxi driver or person at taco bell who just gave me my food. I don't see it as 'chivalry' as more as just doing what is right. Plus I also believe that if one person does the right thing and shows curteousy towards others maybe just maybe more people will follow that persons lead and do the same.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

  LOL....I was just about to say the opposite.  I've always considered chivalry as a gender thing.....something that men did to assist the 'weaker sex'....courtesy involves no gender.  It encompasses or embraces the golden rule.  (a far better rule of thumb)[/DIV]

Although I'm beginning to think that Vancouver's 'not nice' attitude stems from the 'live and let live' attitude that the city has become famous for.

  Well, not 'this guy'.  I think that criticism of the attitudes of city life applies to MOST cities.....probably ALL cities....counties....neighbourhoods......lol

  I'm of the belief that there is no such thing as a 'rude city'.  I think that people get back what they give out, wherever that may be, regardless of the geography.  I don't experience that any more in Vancouver that I do anywhere else......on the other hand, I'm not rude to people......maybe that's why I'm getting a different feedback?

[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]I am also not rude to others but I see it quite often.  The "rudeness" was not directed to me but to others.  I see it on skytrain, buses, and when I'm driving.  I do think  that some places are much more friendly than Vancouver.  

I somewhat believe in your theory of "what you are is what you attract" PC, but I learned to keep an eye out for everything else.  I have to be aware of my environment at all times and what is happenning.  That's just me though.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Schadenfreude on Jun 18 07 08:56
What I see is nobody or very very few people are considerate of others when it comes to driving or riding the Skytrain.

  I absolutely hate tailgating. I like to have a few car lengths between me and the car ahead of me. This means I am constantly cut off because drivers think there is room between the cars. What causes me to fly into a rage is many times there is no one behind me, ie: all the room in the world.

Or trying to exit the Skytrain and everyone crushing to get on. When that happens I just raise my elbows and start pushing my way off. Or waiting to board the train and a crowd swarms in front because I'm not scrambling to force my way on.

One day I'll snap.

Awww Schad.

  I hear ya purelife, and I agree.  I said what I said poorly, and I'm definitely NOT saying there isn't a lot of rudeness out there....I'm just saying I don't find it exclusive to Vancouver.  I've wittnessed a mixture of rudeness and kindness wherever I've been.  I think that will never change, because I see it as an issue of human nature, not a geographical issue.

  Maybe we should put some happy serum in the water supply. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/d030.gif" border=0]

No one person or group of persons can acurately experience what people are like in a city - that concept just violates all components of the scientific method.  To quote my anti-spam bot-stopper work of this post - "absurd".

It seems that people in general often make claims that something is true or untrue based on a few isolated experiences which may or may not reflect truth but by there very nature are not representative of the truth.  "Nope, that's not true because my Auntie Mimi..."

Sorry Barney, but part of the human condition is the pursuit of the truth.  I put bits of information out there and don't claim to be doing anything more than that.  Only by sharing ideas can we all get closer to the truth.  We all haven't given up like you.

Hey Schadey,

We got into a minor accident on Saturday.  Some IDIOT rear-ended us when we were at a complete stop.  It was 100% his fault.  From that, there were minor scratches on the bumper near the licence plate.  The ICBC Insurance Claims guy estimated a cost of $453 for the repairs and to check the shocks.  The guy gave me a list of ICBC-Approved Autobody shops but I have no idea which one to go to that is GOOD.

Any recommendations?

 I don't know of any good shops. I take my car to the Nissan  dealer. I figure they have the most to lose if their reputation is not good.

 The negatives are from that stretchedout jackass. They started this morning. I think he is the same idiot from DV that feels his opinion is the only one that matters.

 Why is it that many times when someone gets a new (new to them) car, something happens to it like that? We had our car less than 1 month when someone, I guess in a parking lot, left a nice crease along the back fender. I'm not sure if they were aware? They never left a note. Many senior drivers in Saskatoon.

[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]Yeah, it's really strange.  Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious.  It's funny that this was my first ever "accident" that I was in.  *knock on wood* that I don't have any other accidents.  

I just ended up leaving my car at this shop in New Westminster.  They were the ones who could get it done in a day or two.  On the flip sound, our bumper will be brand spanking new!  :)))

 Boil some barley.  Drain.  Chop some Roma tomatoes, chop some herbs.  Season with salt, oil and vinegar.

  Always wanted to try poutine but never made it past the line-up. I don't know. Something about cheese and sour cream and gravy and whatever-in-between the fries that just yell 'calories on your thighs'!

Hi P.C.!!(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)

I came close to turning on my heat a few nights ago. But we just wore sweaters and kept it off. It really hasn't been to cold, just wet. good duck weather. Its always so green here in June. By the end of July, it starts looking pretty dry.

Not as busy this week for me. Kind of a "Calm in between storms".    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jun 19 07 09:06
I guess on the plus side, it will be good for staving off a few forest fires.  One of my biggest fears here.  I'm hoping it means for a good July and August and maybe an extension of good weather into the fall?  I'm thinking we've earned it. (well not really, but it would be nice)

  Nice little lull at work?  Is this the calm before the storm? (that reminds me of Luba......what ever happened to Luba !!.......lol)

 I've fallen into the frozen food trap lately.  You go to the store when you're tired and hungry, and all the frozen entrees look so tasty and instantaneous, and the prices aren't that bad either.  You go home and microwave them, and they just don't deliver on taste, quality, or satisfaction.  (ok- I just realized this sounds like an essay on cheap sex...)

You're hilarious Lil Me.  

A good idea perhaps is to have a cooking weekend.  Involve the kids, and make up your OWN frozen instantaneous meals. That way, you know exactly what's in them.....no more gambling if it's going to taste as good as the picture looks.

  I don't know what the menu at your house includes, but whatever it is, make huge batches and freeze them in meal size packages or tupperware.  Pop whatever you need out of the freezer in the morn......come home at the end of the day.....nuke......done.

  Spaghetti sauces, stews, chowders.....calzones, casseroles etc.  Just add a salad....or even more instant, some cut up raw veggies to go with, and you're set.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jun 19 07 05:09
Thanks for the suggestion, P.C.  I'll have to try it.  I've frozen large batches of things (stew, soup, spag sauce, etc.), but not individual portions.  Guess I need to buy some smaller containers.  Are you secretly a Tupperware lady? :)  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jun 19 07 05:22
Hahaha....no tuperware lady here.  I don't even own any tupperware (TOO EXPENSIVE).  But they have at the buck stores, the dinner plate size containers, with the 3 compartments...like in the pictures on frozen dinners.  I use them for hubby's lunch.....but I'm sure they would be great for that use.  

  I used to use icecube trays for freezing foods when my kids were babies.  Then I'd pop them all into bags.  One sweet potato cube....one peas....one fruit......etc.  worked like a charm and cheaper than dirt and no preservatives.

Paella. Put what you like in it. I put live mussels, clams, shrimp, spicy Italian sausage, chicken breast, peppers, tomatos, peas. I think that's all, but you could make any way you like.

Hey Lil Me.

  I have some suggestions for you.

  I like to bake a lot of chicken drumsticks.  So, you could marinate them in whatever you want.  What I do is take a large ziplock bag, place your washed drumsticks inside (as many as you could fit) and then put in your spices in the bag.  I squeeze fresh lemon juice, with chopped parsley and other herbs, and then add my spices, sesame oil or whatever you have.  Shake the bag, refrigerate for a day and then bake them all.  You'll have lots leftover for dinner or lunch and you could turn add the chicken to any side dishes like mashed yams/potatoes/turnips, caesar salad or any salad, steamed veggies, etc.

  Another thing that I enjoy making is stir fry beef strips and brocolli with thin rice noodles.  This is simple and verrry delicicious.  You could make your own sauce with soy sauce, sesame oil and sprinkle some sesame seeds.  

  Uhm, Costco is also good for buying the prepared meats and packaged gyozas's.  They are the Ling Ling brand and they taste awesome.  

  Hope this help give you ideas.

Lil Me et al making Paella.

  Don't buy cheap saffron and don't skimp when adding to the pot.

Do not substitute turmeric for saffron. Well you can, it just won't be the tastiest.

McCormick's is OK. I use 3/4 to all of the package at the least. Last time I bought it, it was around $12.

Love saffron. My mother-in-law puts them in Biryani rice. Gives it a depth that's so unique. I must say that I don't use it... can't justify buying it when I don't use it at all.

  Has anyone try those vanilla pods? I hear that using them is even better than the cheap imitation crap. I use the real vanilla essence since the pods are too expensive and there is a big difference in taste.

I remember watching Alton Browns' Good Eats.  (great show)...and the one thing he stressed was to be careful of the pure vanilla extract that comes from Mexico.....apparently there is plant that they use the reduction from the bark for vanilla....and it's not good.

The best vanilla comes from Madagascar. (I think)

  I was a little disappointed, because I always used to get my friend to get me a quart of 'pure vanilla' when she went to Mexico. (which was cheaper than a teeny weeny bottle here)

   [H1][FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2]Vanilla Botany[/FONT][/H1] [P align=left][FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2]There are many species of vanilla thriving around the world; about 110 species have been catalogued since the discovery of vanilla. The plant that produces the vanilla bean/pod is an orchid. The family to which the species belongs is Orchidaceae, one of the largest families of flowering plants in the world. There are 700 genera in the family Orchidaceae and approximately 20,000 species.[/FONT]

I'd heard about the vanilla from Madagascar, too.  They probably have it at Gourmet Warehouse.  Meh.  I'm so lousy at baking, I just use the big bottle of imitation stuff from Stupidstore.  We have allergies, and the dairy-free/egg-free baking is always a little...cardboardy.  I've given up baking for now.  But I make a mean rice krispie square and puffed wheat square!

With regards to putting the pods in the sugar, I have a question. Do you just put the entire long pod in with the sugar? Without removing the seeds?

  A friend of mine took a good quality plain vanilla ice cream and jazz it up with the seeds a couple of hours just before serving. I must say, that was really good and a great idea.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

  Russ really went to Africa on a man-hunt to find more goats.  There, he got delusional and thought that one of the goats was his sweetheart, in real life (on DS, she is known as Starfish Scientist).  Some say that he was hypnotized because he got down on his knees and prepared his proposal and bared his love to this goat!  (I hope that it was a female goat).  After the goat had grunted, Russ was estactic that his sweetheart had said YES!  When he tried to place the ring on its finger, that was when he realized that he picked up the wrong size.  Well, the rest is pretty much history.

 Hopefully Mr LM is coming home this weekend.  He's been gone for a month.
 
 More lacrosse games- the hightlight is that Jeckyl's team gets to play in between periods during a Junior A game on Sat night.  Heckyl's music class is having a BBQ, and my parents are downsizing- so I get to go help them throw stuff out.

[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]I agree with you PC.  We were talking about Lil Me, SD, and not about your swimming.  Lil Me spent years to get into where she's at with tae kwon doe and actually stuck with it.  If I just started swimming, like yourself, I wouldn't be bragging about it or keep saying how much I've accomplished unless I kept at it for months and can actually say that I've accomplished a lot.  

I don't know, but you seem to find ways to just end up talking about yourself, SD.  It just makes me feel that you're here just for attention.  If you want attention, you need it from REAL LIFE people, friends, family.  Not from people who you've never met.  It really makes me feel that you're needy.

Nothing much with the burger, except I shape it and bake it on a rack in the oven to get rid of most of the fat.  It's extra lean, but still....  I put it on an Italian herb hamburger bun with Havarti cheese and Dijon mustard, as well as some chopped onions.

It really was scrumptious.

Pretzels and rum sounds like the perfect summer vacation meal!
 (brings back memories of the hotels in the U.S. with the free "happy hour"- all you can drink, and all the pretzels you can eat between certain hours by the pool!)

EXACTLY.....THAT'S the MENU !!!!   Except without the pool.

Has anyone taken or heard of Hydroxycut?

OHHHH....now I'm with you.  I thought it was something you would put on a cut.

  I think weight loss products are dangerous frankly, and wouldn't trust ANYTHING out there in that vein. I'm afraid there is only one way to lose weight that 100% safe and effective.....eat less and move more.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

 Hey PC, SD.

What cha having for dinner, PC?  Do you know what the difference is between the yellow and green beans?  Yellow sweeter?

Cool, SD.  :)))  You're cooking?

  In the US it was banned because it had Ephedra in it which has killed people. Now they make it without the Ephedra but I don't know about Canada.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jun 24 07 04:28
Yea, I know that it's "dangerous," but a friend of mine has been using it.  I'm kinda worried about the amount of caffeine.  It's asking me to take about 6 cups of coffee a day.  One pill is equivalent to 1 cup of coffee's worth of caffeine.  I'm going to give this a try starting tomorrow.  

I've been eating less and exercising and it hasn't given me the results that I want.  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 24 07 04:29
 Yeah I don't do weight loss pills. I've lost 10lbs in 2 weeks just by swimming and eating less. :)

No I didn't cook, chicken was store bought from Sam's and grandma did the potatoes. But I'll cook some thai stuff I bought last week. I cooked this rice for steak last week and everybody loved it. (which shocked me because they usually don't like the food I eat.)

Well low and behold, we're having chicken too.  (on the spit)  Cauliflower and baby nuggets.  

  [img height=249 hspace=5 src="http://www.greenbeansnmore.com/images/green_yellow_purple.jpg" width=350 align=right vspace=15]
[FONT face=Arial][FONT color=#006600]Green beans come in a variety of colors.[/FONT]

Green beans come in some lovely colors that you'd never imagine. How about purple? Yes, that's right, purple. One purple variety of green bean is called Violet Podded, and it's a pole bean. There are also yellow (or gold) green beans too. A very popular yellow green bean is the Rocquencourt. The Rocquencourt is a yellow heirloom French Filet green bean with a very thin long pod. Another French Filet green bean is the Balong. Generally purple green beans and yellow green beans are identical in taste and texture to green green beans.

One thing I'd like to add here about purple green beans. They are best used raw. Once heat is applied to them they will loose their color (it bleeds out). Some chef's suggest the best way to cook them and have them retain their best color is to "butter baste" them.[/FONT]


  *****Please be careful with that stuff purelife. (not the beans, although they have their own set of dangers...lol)  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 24 07 04:37

I've never seen purple beans before.. .wow, interesting.  I didn't know that that color existed in the bean family.  So, it looks like us 3 are having chicken and baby nugget potatoes.  :)))  

I'll be careful, PC.  If I notice anything weird, I'll be stopping.  :)

No miracle pill
 "There's a tremendous appeal for a magic pill to help lose weight - manufacturers of weight-loss pills appeal to that, I think," said Dr Robert Saper, director of integrative medicine in the Department of Family Medicine at Boston University Medical Center. [/p]But in a review of the scientific evidence, published in the Nov. 1, 2004, issue of American Family Physician, Saper suggested there's no miracle pill on the market. In fact, some of the supplements out there may be dangerous or might interact with prescription medications that people are taking, he said.

Just doing  a brief little bit of research should steer you away from this stuff.

  One of Hydroxycuts own ads lists 8 serious side effects and only 4 benefits.  That pretty much sums it up.

There is a really good unbiased report here.

Hey purelife, good for you! Congrats, mate. I hope more success cometh your way.

  Just been back from Harrison Hot Springs. Woot! What a lovely time..... well, if you truly like downpour. First time ever that it poured buckets and buckets down where we were. Gawd. I'm truly fed-up with the rain. We went out despite the rain... ah well. At least no mosquitoes.

  Kids had a fantastic time in Dinotown (it being wet), at the beach (it being wet), eating outside (eat being wet), drive to the cove (it being wet), walk to the hot springs (it being wet).

  Shared the room with my in-laws. The last time I saw my dad-in-law naked when he accidentally dropped the towel. This time... I saw him when I barged into his room as we got home because I was worried nobody answered my calls. ARGH!!! *plucks eyeballs* (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

 Ah I ate there too, plus the japanese on the right (not the last one, the other nearer). Never try the soup though at the Mediterranean. But I ate the pho at the vienamese place, not bad.

Uhm, I was talking about the soup at that pho place.  I'll have to try it one day if you say that it's good.  I don't quite like the Le Soleil anymore.  I notice that nothing is really that fresh and they just preheat stuff.  

  There's another great place too.  Under the TD Building if you continue walking north on Thurlow, you'll hit an "underground" food court and there's one that's called FRESH and they sell awesome food for $6.50.

  Joyeux Cafe on Hastings and Bute have the best Pho in downtown that I could find.

 Hey thanks fot the hint about the pho Hasting, I'll try this place. Under TD you say for Fresh, I don't see it from my window, too much buildings. Not sure if I've been yet. Is it the food court beside under the Hyatt?

  Yeah the pho is not bad for what I remember. I nearly order on today, it's so cold outside. One thing I like in Van is the free green tea everywhere, that's great !

  Le Soleil, being there only once, was catastrophic, never dare to went back.[/DIV]

It's the building on the NE side on Melville and Thurlow.  There's TD Bank and if you walk in that building, and head for the escalator going down, and then turn left, you'll see that FRESH place.  It's a mini food court.  

  Oh, you'll like Joyeux.  They have excellent beef soup, wonton/shrimp soup, seafood soup....oh, I haven't been there for months... I'll have to go there again.  

  Oh dear PC.....

How is your keybord PC ? Which stage have you reach ? Tell us everything, we want to know... (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/12.gif)

   Miracle Cure

Do you have feelings of inadequacy?
Do you suffer from shyness?
Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or
pharmacist about White Wine.

White Wine is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about
yourself and your actions. White Wine can help
ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready
and willing to do just about anything.

You will notice the benefits of White Wine almost immediately, and with a
regime of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you
from living the life you want to live.  Shyness and  awkwardness will be a
thing of the past, and you will discover many talents you never knew you
had.  Stop hiding and start living, with White Wine.

However, White Wine may not be right for everyone.
Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use White Wine.

However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are
encouraged to try it. Side effects may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting,
incarceration, erotic lustfulness, loss of motor control, loss of clothing,
loss of money, loss of virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing,
headache, dehydration, dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play
all-night rounds of Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare, and Naked Twister.

~I'm in the Mood for Lunch~

  In that bright hour that day I first beheld
Your wondrous starting course, my heartbeat rang
With glorious joy, and my heart rebelled.
For the joy of lunch, I let all else hang.

In that idyllic moment the birds sang.
Yet that spring of my life was temporal,
And those blissful dreams went out with a bang.
Lunch seemed so perfect, preternatural,

But my winter blew in with the mistral.
I was filled, but it was to no avail,
Lunch slipped into my gut, the cruel tendril.
Lunch that led me down a much sadder trail.

Without your lunch, my heart is not replete,
And without you, my meal is not complete.

Denizen of Moo Uria

  Pepper steak sounds divine. I give up on those steaks. The last time I took them out, they were so hard I could literally bounce them off the walls and back again.

  Sounds wet where you are, Russ. I thought it doesn't rain often there. Anyways, when are you coming back? Can you PM me? Would love to get together soon but everyone's busy lately so you coming to Vancouver would be an awesome excuse to meet.

 Hey kitten! Um, theres basically two seasons where I am in Africa. The hot sunny scorching season, and the torrential rainfall but still hot and sticky humid. It will get a bit cooler at nights, but still hot.

Its like a monsoon season I suppose.

  The food on here is actually pretty decent this trip.. its not gourmet with the cooks cooking for 27 people, but its still good. Some of it is real weird tasting to what Im used to in Vancouver, but its because of the local ingrediants and where the meats come from. The vegetables are grown locally and they are REALLY small compared to the ones we get, think an average tomato from the grocery store, then think of it half that size and smaller. For example even the coca cola here is different, its made in south africa and its because of the water they use for the base.

  Im actually looking forward to some of the fast foods! lol, miss stupid little things like that after awhile. I find when I first get home after eating healthy for a few months, that when I eat something say like McDonalds, that I get stomach cramps and feel like crap for a while. LOL!

Good morning, nice people!  I'm back, however briefly.  Russ, I could do without the hot and humid, so I don't really envy you.  One little question, though.  If I bring you a nice steak, will you show me how to cook it properly?  I'm on my knees pleading.  Here I have this nice little BBQ, and I don't want to ruin expensive meat on it just because I don't know how to cook it properly.

  P.C., I'm so happy you got a new keyboard!  The other one must have driven you up the wall.

It was a monsoon outside and some yahoo at work said he didn't see me and slammed in reverse into my car. Front part smashed in. I'm standing outside in the pouring rain for an hour, I'm completely soaked. lol

Then I did mine and my dad's paper route didn't get home until 8am.

yeah but he had the most stupidest excuse ever. He was like "When I went to put da car in reverse, you weren't there and bam then you appeared." lol goofy redneck.

What really happen was, I was behind him the entire time and he just put it in reverse and slammed on the gas not even looking what was behind him. He never stopped or braked. My car slowed his car down.

Heya Russ. Bring your steak anytime, mate.

  I've asked everyone for help on the steaks before and they've offered me tons of advice. Unfortunately I seemed to have the curse of killing the steak so nothing comes out right. The closest I get is using my GF grill but it seems to loose something. I think it's all that fat that drips off. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  What I had for lunch? This little Chinese cafe in the Crystal Mall. Pittsburgh, I think. I'm not sure why it's so popular because the dish I had was incredibly greasy. Tons of people going there. Service was minimal. I had the beef with noodles. Something. Should have ordered the Lobster Bisque. Seems everyone else was having it.

  I dont believe this for an instant. You might have to upgrade the headlights to daytime running lights... but for most cars in the 90's and 00's thats it. Ive got a number of friends that buy cars in the states every 6 months or a year and bring them up here, insure and drive them for a bit then sell them. You have to do an import inspection, then a TC inspection and thats about it.

 You can drive in the other country no problem.. most insurance companies cover over the border into Canada or the STates.. hes talking about importing it and insuring it here as he will be a student resident of Canada

  EDIT: actually, Lise has a point.. you dont have to insure it in Canada if you are a visiting student and a Citizen of another country like the states.. check with your insurance company

Good morning!

Long weekends are too sweet. I am staying around my house this weekend. Got a lot of catching up to do on yard work, etc. Also need to organize my basement, too much junk is starting to build up.

Going to turn up the stereo all weekend!

Hosting a BBQ Canada Day.  BBQing a turkey, and my friends are each bringing their own dish. like a potluck I guess!?

Some tasty beverages too!

  Michel, I will wave my Canadian flag proudly, but if some cute ladies make their way over and are wearing nothing but that flag at the end of the night, and it happens to drop around their ankles, it won't be the worst thing that could happen. LOL!

I just ordered prints online from the Costco site for the first time.  The best thing about it is that I've got the chance to write something on the back.  Normally, I would hand write the dates on the back of photos, but with this COOL option from Costco, it'll print what comment I want.  It's limited to the number of characters but it's enough to type in the date.  I love this feature!  Superstore doesn't have this.  

By the way, it's 14 cents per print if you order online via Costco with this promo code: EXEC0625

Happy Saturday to you too Devil

  Looking a little iffy out there this morning.  There is a mama eagle teaching it's baby to fly, right above the house.  Baby still hasn't got his voice figured out yet either.....lol.....what a racket.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Jun 30 07 07:34
That sounds so cool! I heard this, not sure if it is true but, I heard there is more eagles on Vancouver Island, than all of the USA?

sunny here this morning. That storm last night was crazy! It rained so hard at bedtime, and I got up and watched the lightning for awhile. It was one after the other for about an hour. crazy loud, felt like it was going to hit my house. Awesome! Supposed to be sunny now for a few days.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jun 30 07 07:39
Yea.....a storm like that is exhilerating.  A blend of amazement, awe at Mother Natures power and fear all in one.

I heard that too, about the eagles Devil.  It wouldn't surprise me.  I don't think there's been a day since I've been on the island that I haven't seen at least one.

  A couple years back, when a mama was teaching her young one to fly, the little guy was doing alright, except that he upside down.  She kept swooping underneath him trying to create a little updraft to flip him over.....it worked.  It was awesome and amusing to watch.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Jun 30 07 07:43
That is amazing! That kind of thing to see only comes a couple times in a lifetime. The instincts in animals are beyond the known.

Ahhh! coffee!

sunny and 21 today, perfect for yard work. Did a lot today. Now I am going to take on my basement. I think I have about 2 years worth of recycling to catch up on.

  Then I am going to get things prepped for my BBQ tomorrow. This is my first BBQ turkey. Wish me luck!

Actually, a friend that is coming over is going to help me. She says its so easy, the hardest job is keeping the drinks poured for the guests!!

You betcha! BBQ turkey is good. I guess hickory is the key?!!

  A friend just called and said they are doing Canada themed fireworks at McMahon aftert the Stamps game. The game is over at 11, so maybe we will go check that out. I doubt I will make it to the actual game though, too much to do at home. But a beautiful evening for a walk and fireworks...maybe a evening coffee after my chores!!

well I guess the upside to cleaning out the hot tub is that you can use it to sooth any injuries acquired from cleaning it. ;)  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

No no no.....not the hot tub.....the hot tub roof.  It is clear plexiglass panels 4 1/2 by 12 feet....and there are 2 X 4's every 4 and a half feet. So you have to 'tightrope walk' along the 2 inche edge of the 2X and it's downright scary. The pollen and algae mixed with rain and then sun baking it on there, bonds to this stuff like tar.  It's very hard to scrub off.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/4.gif)

I don't know that I could bring myself to buy that product ....if for no other reason than the dufus that does their commercials.  Also, the last time I used any kind of 'product', it mangled the heck out of my hostas from rinsing it over the edge.  A few drops of dish liquid is all I'm using.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jun 30 07 09:07
I am frugal....and thrifty.....but on the other hand, I'm ok with splurging on quality things.

  I don't know that my admiration for beautiful packaging has anything to with 'flashy'....I'm more likely to be drawn to something done in the 'Olde' style....or anything that looks 'apothecary'.  Can't find anything to describe what I mean....this 'look' is close.

Everywhere.  Hubby always laughs at me, because I have been known to transfer stuff out of the jar/package it came in.... and put in my own jar with my own lables I make up in Corel to get 'that look'.

I like warmth and comfort and character.  The old time packaging is simplicity at its best.  I adore a clean white label with a black ink stamp.

so what's the weather like in late August/September/October?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 01 07 04:15
Beautiful!  It's warm in summer, sometimes too warm, and in late September and October you will see how colourful the leaves are as the weather gets colder at night.  For me, it's the perfect time of year.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 01 07 04:18
Sweet! So fall is the time to get out and walk around nature? excellent.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 01 07 04:24
In B.C., any time is a good time to walk around and admire nature, but fall is probably the prettiest time.  Personally I prefer spring with the new leaves coming out and cherry and plum blossoms everywhere.  Where I work is a street lined with flowering cherry trees, and you would think it was snowing pink when the blossoms start to fall.

hopefully no crazy winter changes from it being warm one day and cold the next! ugh soo frustrating about living here is that.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 01 07 04:39
Well.........I wouldn't want to bet on it.  But usually...no.  In the spring it is wise to dress or bring clothes for all occasions, and the same goes for later in the fall.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 01 07 04:42
well I think BC is too far north for the temperature changes I'm talking about. I'm talking about it going from 20 C to -5 then back to 20 C a few days later.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 01 07 04:44
No, actually the lower part of B.C. is too far south to have that sort of change.  We live in a temperate climate.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 01 07 04:47
temperate sounds awesome. Saint Louis is too far south to have a sustained winter (Chicago) and too far north to have a mild winter (Memphis) and too far from the mountains so it doesn't get the snow that Kansas City gets being on the edge of prairies. Basically it means wacky weather.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 01 07 04:49
Our weather isn't anything to brag about.  Look at the really horrible storms in November and December of last year, as well as the flooding this spring.  Not exactly wonderful.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 01 07 05:09
I sort of like that. Everyone I know wants to move to southern california. But for some reason everyday of sun shine just doesn't excite me.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 01 07 05:16
I've been to California a few times, but Southern California was too brown and hot.  I missed the greenery that you see here.  San Francisco was a fascinating place to visit, but there was a lot of fog when I went there, so I didn't see a lot of the scenery.  I was also disappointed in the Chinese restaurants I visited.  I think that Vancouver has much nicer restaurants.  I still think that of all places I've been, this is still the nicest.  The one sunny day I did see in San Francisco, the view was fantastic, and I wished I could stay longer.  The prices were sky-high, though.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 01 07 05:24
Yeah if I had to live in California it would be Northern California. But then again everything Northern California has BC has too.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 01 07 05:25
I think so.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 01 07 05:29
I've come to that conclusion as well.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 01 07 05:34
You have already adopted this country in your heart.  I hope it lives up to your expectations.  It isn't always sweetness and light, and you may run into things that make you wonder if this is the place you imagined.  I still think it is the best country to live in, but I may be biased.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 01 07 05:41
Yup that is true. And I know nothing is perfect so I don't have this fairy tale idealic view of Canada but I do have a good feeling about the place. My counselor I've had for 10 years now is a Scottish immigrant and when he landed in the US in '85 he knew this was the place he wanted to be the instant he landed in the airport. I have the same feeling about BC and Canada. Its something that's hard to explain but you just get this overall feeling that you're in the right place.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 01 07 05:45
It is hard to evaluate a country without experiencing it for a period of time.  Live here for a couple of years and see if it still measures up to your expectations.  You might be surprised at how your opinions can change with a few attacks of homesickness.  You will start remembering all the things you took for granted at home, and comparisons are inevitable.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 01 07 05:52
 I don't think I'll have home sickness. I'm too much like my grandparents in that case. They left europe and never went back. Plus my family has always been a 'telephone family'.  So when people are telling me I'm doing something stupid in moving so far away they don't really know how my family works. I didn't grow up with relatives down the street like many of my friends did. The only real 'home' is the farm but there's nothing there for me I've out grown it.
Basically it is expected in my family that you grow up and move far away, not across town and come to visit twice a year.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 01 07 05:58
That's odd.  I was expected to stay at home, but I moved across country.  So did my brother and sister, except for my youngest sister who only moved to Fredericton, N.B.  They all moved back to Saint John, except for me.  I'm never going to move back because it's just too cold and the winters are too long.  I've lived here permanently since 1960, and for me this IS home.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 01 07 06:07
yeah we are wonderers. Grandpa left hungary, grandma said good riddance to Europe after the war. Then my mom on a whim left the farm when women were suppose to stay home and raise babies (great grandpa was completely against her going to college) and she boarded a train for Chicago. There's 15 people in my family (my dad's side my last name side). One uncle stayed in Akron, grandma lives in Sarasota, Florida and my other uncle and cousins with the kids live in Kansas City. Then a cousin from the akron clan moved to Texas. We are good for about one visit a year in person and that's enough before we get on each others nerves too much and that's it. Happy family. lol

meanwhile the family on the farm (the one my mom left) all live within a mile of each other and my two uncles don't even talk to each other.

We went near Jericho beach for the fireworks only (I tought maybe I could have been on the roof of my office yeterday, but I was not sure if an alarm wouldn't sound if I get there (roof I mean). Anyway, next year, if there's no alam for the roof terrace, I'll get there, I will just inform me before. We could see both fireworks, but hey that's far !

Otherwise, no Canada day for us, except a can of beer pitched from a car's window in front of me that nealy hit my car. We've been to Minnekahada regional park in Coquitlam, very preety hiking, lots of birds, took full of pics, wanted to take a pic of 2 cranes but I retreat fastly when I saw a fresh bear footprint in the mud when I tried to get nearer of the birds.

For the rest of the long weekend, I try to prepare the trip for Alaska, lots of readings on line among other things.

Good morning everyone!

  Thank you miss Kitten and PC for the Welcomes back.. good to be home! My bbq is getting a workout.. and I put a friends new webber to the test on Canuck Day when we went downtown to a friends flat. BEAUTIFUL view! But, egads, they PAY for the view.. out the nose in my opinion.

  So Im debating whether or not to help my dad who has decided to 'fix' the garbage disposal, which Im convinced was working fine to begin with. The story begins last night, when in normal fashion I dump some stuff down the sink. It takes a while cause everything goes down.. cause I put a wee bit too much in it at once. my dad who's invaded my kitchen takes a look and says theres something wrong.. and amidst my polite pleadings 'dont F&amp;*king touch it, its working' proceeds to start poking and prodding it.. with a spoon. Needless to say now, theres a spoon wrapped in the blades on it, and the motor is burnt out with a good electrical burnt smell. I need a new one, and he has now invaded the kitchen again, to again 'fix' the one that is now ready for being recycled into a new toyota. I think its safe with parents to let them tinker with stuff, even when you dont want them to, then to fix their fixings later.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jul 03 07 08:58
LOL. Too funny, Russ. I can't believe he would stick a spoon into a motor. Yikes! And I thought my dad was bad.......

  Welcome home, Russty ole boy. Good to have you.

  We went to a friend's place yesterday out in Langley. Beautiful. So jealous that they have a huge home and a barn. I guess it's cheaper to buy properties way out there in Langley though I must say it's getting pretty darn crazy there with tons of town houses popping up left and right.

Good morning Lise and Russ.

  It's so nice to see you two around this morning and a SPECIAL welcome back to Russ.  

  Your story is funny!  I think that Dads like to feel important and like to be involved and/or included.  Thank goodness my Dad doesn't come and visit me because I know that he'll be suggesting this and that to get fixed....  Y'know, when we move to a larger place, I'll have him suggest and he can do all the fixin' he wants.   :)))

  We watched Transformers last night in Richmond.  It was an AWESOME movie.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jul 03 07 09:26
Be there 2 hours before the show time.  It's better to buy your tickets online.  We lucked out at the 8pm showing at Richmond Centre.  The other theatre on Steveston were all sold out and we were there at around 5.  

  It was a funny movie with awesome Transformers.  It was great to watch them transform.  I liked how the movie had some comedy in it.   I totally recommend this movie and to buy the DVD!

PL, it's either a Cedar waxwing or a Bohemian waxwing, I'm not an expert in that cos the differences are minimal (colours only), especially since I'm colour blind (although I think it's more logical that it is the first one since the second one is supposed to live more uneder northern latitudes)

I have given up on my super duper Canon all in one printer. It was kinda expensive and worked great for the first year.. now I think the colour in the print head is gumming up and the things I print come out like crap unless its black and white. Im not calling in for help again either after what I experienced last time.

  It IS freaking hot out.. Im down the back tinkering in the garage with my brother, both of us working on our offroad trucks, and It got to the point we had to leave the garage, take the AC unit out of one of the bedrooms, and put it under the garage door with pieces of plywood on teh sides for a seal then run it while we sat up at the house drinking ice cold beers until it was bearable in the garage.. I think we insulated it too much for in the winters.

  So whats everyones plans this evening? Im heading out with the boss and some friends for some Thai food on Cambie tonight.. then afterwards heading out for some Karaoke with other friends. Dont worry, the world wont die.. Im not singing like a seagull with tonsilitis again.

Actually, in an air conditioned office most of the day today so its really no big deal. The heat feels actually pretty awesome in the evening. Shade is always nice though.

Stampede starts tomorrow. I think a couple buddies and our kids are going to White Swan Lake, BC to go hiking and camping this weekend. I don't like being in town during Stampede. Too much country music, and too many drunks on the roads.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Stampede wouldn't do it for me either.  Camping at Swan Lake sounds like a lovely plan. (I'll have to look that one up on the map....doesn't sound familiar to me, and I thought I knew every nook and cranny of B.C. heeheeee)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

It is south of Invermere, and east into the Rockies from Canal Flats. It is so nice up there.  A lot of old growth Spruce Trees. Serious mountain peaks. The lake is like ice cold, but clean, and nice on a +30 weekend. No motorboats allowed, so it is a little different scene than Kalamalka. White Swan is only 3 hours from Calgary too.

  It is definitely summer with scorching hawt weather.  I needed a tan. :)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

A tan? If memory serves me right, aren't you dark already? As for me, I haven't been tan since moving here from Ozland. I'm so pale, my family is amazed.

  Do you prefer to tan in salons or au-natural?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Jul 05 07 09:14
Morning purelife and everyone!!!

  Hi Russ! Its not a huge lake, but it is big enough though. A few Km. by a few Km. or so?. I think it is ok there is no motorboats. It is so quiet and nice. Motorboats are good for the bigger lakes.

Stampede is ok in some ways. Free breakfasts every morning. Next week our office throws a free breakfast for anyone. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, champagne OJ, and live music. That is what I like about Stampede, the food. But if you want to go to a nightclub, or a sponsored bash, you have to be in by 3 in the afternoon, or you are usually s.o.l.!   But for me,  July comes, I just want to be in the mountains.

I imagine the Hotel prices are crazy.

Cool Lise! Curious...why the heck would you leave Australia??? I have never been there, but heard so many nice things. Did you know Fernie, BC in the winter has a Australia social club? They come for the boarding and have started their own little group. Basically, they can drink anyone under the table...except a Newfoundlander! I met a few there, crazy funny dudes!

I usually go dark red burn, back to white again. This year, somehow I got tanned. It is a new thing for me?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Isis on Jul 05 07 09:24
Speaking of tanning....I better get that base tan going before heading down to Vegas...I wouldn't want to have to come back and tell you all that I look like a lobster!!

  I think oil would be best...dont you think lise?

  PL...how's it going?

I don't think that I could ever take Vegas heat.  I'd be extremely cranky.

  It's going great Isis.  I've booked a day off tomorrow to help the bride prepare for her wedding.  That should be fun. :)

Left Australia because my true love lives in Vancouver. It's was hard to leave Ozland. You're right about the weather.... it's so nice there even in winter. No rain all day long. Ah well. I don't mind the sacrifices because they're so worth it.

  Las Vegas. That's one place I would love to go visit one of these days. Perhaps when the kids get older and start to appreciate then we'll go.

Not sure if I would bring kids to Vegas. You would be pretty restricted for a lot of things. Even if they are trying to make it family friendly.  The town is the root of all evil too. Good place for a Goddess to get down with her nasty self!

If you want to hire him as a guide and chaperone his rates are reasonble.

He will insist on sleeping at the foot of your bed, though. Hope it's not a problem.

All ready to go. Just got to get a few things out the door at work, then we are taking off later in the afternoon.

  Lunch??? too early? I am going for our neighbor office for beef on a bun. They are having a stampede lunch. Free food is good.

[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]Just like any buffet just with mexican food at the local mexican place (one of 10 near me). Mexican places the folks waiting on you always call me 'brother' and they're super nice.

The complete opposite of this chinese buffet I went to. lol The old ladies there were like "YOU SIT HERE!" lol! They acted like little Mao's running around it was hysterical.

I also found Quebec to be distinctive.. beautiful city with semi friendly people.

  Toronto is as Devil said.. Toronto. I didnt like it too much.. but the surrounding areas and communities were nice like Guelph, Kitchener/Waterloo.. etc etc.

  As for Saskatchewan.. I found it to be one big bug waiting to eat you and carry you away.

  Europe was the place with the many different types of plugs so you have to carry ten different adaptors. I liked Europe in the fact that theres such a diverse peoples and cities with vastly different backgrounds and cultures so close to each other in terms of distance.. so its cheap and easy to go visit there for a week or even a weekend. We have what.. McDonalds and Hotdog stands right around the corner.. fly a bit farther and you are in to the Burrito joints.. with McDonalds and Miller right next to it.

    I like Michel's idea of Pho however.. I just got back from Surrey to drop off some driveline parts on my truck to get modified.. wow, the prices have drastically increased since I had it done two years ago.

  Québec City, and even more accurately the countryside in the Province looks a lot like some part of Normady, in Northern France (I mean the parts that haven't been destroyed in 1944).

  In looks, and in looks only, Montréal is really a mix of French and British architecture with a typical local flavour in the working class neibourghood, and of course there's an Americanised downtown with it's skycrapers like everywhere in North America. The population, the culture and the language(s) are totally different from anything you can see in the world. Not better, not worse, just different.

well I don't need to in this comparison. The homeless of San Francisco stay in the city of San Fransico. The population has dropped to 6k but homeless are showing up in the burbs.

Population of San Francisco (city): 744,041
Vancouver: 587,891

Homeless per to people ratio
for every 1 homeless person there are 86 non homeless people in the city of SF alone (based on '02 figures) or based on the new figures (the population just went to the suburbs) of 6,248 comes out as
1:119.
I'm using the official GVRD numbers for the whole area which is 2,174 homeless people
that comes out to a 1:270 ratio for 1 homeless person per non homeless.

San Francisco is the worst out of the two.

 I never said Vancouver is the worst. I said it is up there with the rest of them. I compared the Greater city areas too, not the proper areas. I thought this conversation ended 14 posts ago?

Thanks, SD. I try to make something creative every so often. It's just too bad my family don't always agree to be my guineapigs (hubby flat-out refuses to try anything Asian) so I have to stomach everything in myself.

  I watched Rachel Ray the other day on Missouri cuisine. Looks pretty darn interesting. I didn't know there's "two side" of Missouri (unless I'm mistaken....) but your town look like they've got some good eats.

Oh yeah there's two missouri's. There's the one I love and grew up in and then there's the on I don't like. But food wise you can't really beat the cultural influences of either Kansas City or Saint Louis. Toasted Ravioli, thin crust pizza, beer, bbq (kc and stl). If you like Italian food, St. Louis is the place to be.

Hi!  *waves*
 
 Just a quick hello as I'm moving junk today.  Trying to get my parents' house cleared out as they want to move into a condo.  My junk collecting friends have already taken 2 truckloads of crap, and there's another one to go.  Haven't backed into anything *yet* in my friend's 3/4 ton.
 
 Meanwhile, Mr LM took Heckyl, Jeckyl and two borrowed kids to McDs and Transformers.

Heya Lil Me! Sounds like a lotta work. Downsizing and clearing off all that clutter. Can't imagine after years and years of collecting stuff. I need to get rid of a couple of things too.... waiting for Ms. Orca to tell me how to do it soon.

  Lovely day today. Not too hot. Hmmm..... Dinner was spagetti.

lol! I didn't even think about it being 7/7/7 while I was out there. All clocks and calandars are left in the vehicle.

It was pretty peacefull. A little breezy and pretty cloudy, but still warm enough for shorts. I never went swimming, that is still some seriously cold water. Still a lot of spring runoff. Seen a few elk. Never hiked too hard because of the kids. Did a casual walk to some waterfalls. All in all, pretty nice.

Wedding was one of my gf's...it was a nice quiet wedding on a boat cruising around the harbor...sunset, wine, dancing, cake....I got smoked in the face with the bouquet at the tossing ( I had it in my hands and decided to accidently bump it over my sholder), I caught one at the last wedding and didn't need another one!

  Yup....I managed to get drunk off of wine...without paying a single cent!! Don't know how I managed that one...but I did it!!

Facebook is a blast.

And they have a feature where facebook can interrogate your email account and get a list of your friends who have a facebook entry.

I used that to get in touch with a person I hadn't spoken to in about a year.

I think she was creeped out to be honest since the first thing she said was "how did you find me on here???"

Yup purelife, it's soy sauce.  

  I just dice some bacon....cook it....when it's just about done, add a little shredded cabbage and toss it around for a minute with the bacon.  Cook up yer rice and throw it in and add China Lily and mix it in until it is brown.....not beige....but brown.  This doesnt work for some reason with other soy sauces.  Tried it with Kikoman once, and it was like eating a salt lick.

 Took Jeckyl to the waterslides at Splashdown Park today.  It was a fun time.  I'm officially a lumpy, middle-aged person at the waterslides.  Splashdown looks shabby these days (dirty, needs paint) compared to when it was new in the '80s.  Oh well, the almost 6-year-old youngster with the mohawk had the time of his life.

 I'm heading back to my parents' pile of rubble today as soon as my coffee is finished.  They want to list the house for sale, but we need to store the excess furniture and boxes of crap (books) first.  The mobile storage containers are arriving this morning.

Hey good luck with all the packing and storing and whatever-in-between. I know what it's like. So stressful but it'll be totally worth it in the end. To see all that clutter gone from your life and start afresh... with new clutter. Heh.

  I've seen fresh starwberries for sale at the Crystal Mall. About $2.00 per box but the cheapest one that I've come across is Aberdean Mall in Richmond, $1.49.

  I do want to go strawberry picking with the kids. Do you know any good place?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jul 10 07 09:45
Thanks Lise.  
 
 We've been to Krause Bros Farm before.  It's fun.  Bring your buckets.  Depending on how much the kids pick, be prepared to stay up all night washing and hulling strawberries for the freezer.  I don't make real jam, nor do I can anything, so it's freezer jam and freezer berries for me.

 There's a sure-fire proof way to distinguish between reality and imagination.  What you will need to do is dropkick yourself.  If you can master that, then, it's reality.  

 P.S. Don't bother pinching yourself.  I can pinch myself in my imaginary world too.

Im dead tired.. was boating at Alouet (sp?) lake in golden ears.. past pitt lake. Went up with family and the neighbors. Went waterskiing and wakeboarding three different times during the day, and then bbq'd at teh day picnic spots. Burgers and beer.. not that we would drink in a public recreational area of course. Just got home, long drive back when you are sore from watersports, lol. The only downside is when we were holding the boat on the beach the first time I knicked my toe under a rock and gave myself a blood blister under my nail.. now that hurts! well, as well as hitting the water when your brother decides to throw you off the tube at 40 miles an hour cause you were making him look bad.

  So hows everyone elses days been? Sorry I havent been around much the last little bit.. so much to do and so little time really. I been running around to surrey and langley the last few days for parts for my truck and then attempting to install them, until friends drop by to see my progress, and they show up with beer.

  So.. whys PL upset?

Hey Everyone!  Crikey it's hot.
 
 I'm running errands downtown before going back to move furniture around at my parents'.  Gotta move a king-sized bed down 2 flights of stairs to the basement today.
 
 Yesterday was great- gave another FULL carload of crap to my packrat friend, and scooped some interesting treasures for myself: scale-model kits of the Titanic, USS Iowa, Battleship Missouri and a 3-D pumping human heart (yes, I have a strange family...).  Heckyl and Jeckyl will love constructing the models.  Took a wooden tickle trunk which belonged to my great grandmother.  Took some more bookshelves.  Note that all of this stuff was in the "discard" pile.
 
 It's also been a quiet few days with Jeckyl, as Heckyl has been away to Scout camp.  But he's coming home today, so the mayhem will begin all over again...
 
 Happy Humpday!

  Not so much SD.  I just watched a little blurb on the news this morning as to why the weather is recorded from the Vancouver Airport, as it is the least accurate portrayal of the temperature.  Even though these are the tempuratures that are recorded as our statistics.  It isn't uncommon for people in different areas to be hitting 38 to 40 when the weather report is telling us that its going to hit 28.

  I remember them saying a year or so ago that there hasn't been a white Christmas for 'X' years (don't remember) but was grossly inaccurate.  They need to move the base for our weather statistics.....it's SO consistantly off.

  No, I wasn't kidding SD.  It was 43 according to our friends thermometer yesterday, and a few degrees cooler than that at our house.  Oh blessed trees that keep us cooler in the summer and cozy in the winter.

  Post Monkee.....I like the heat.  Not too hot...but hot is nice.  There was once a time that we could sit in our yard nekked....now with neighbours taking out some of their trees....not so much.  Goofs.  Inside the house stays nice and cool.

  The Island is often in the 'Hot Spots in B.C. today' segment of the news.  I think people think it to be cooler, as it's always a few degrees cooler right on the water.

Actually, dear sweet Miss P.C. *hugs*, this is typical for around here.

It's pretty much fog year round. Escept when it rains   :)

  On the plus side, it never gets too hot, and rarely gets very chilly.

  And we have the microclimates from hell. It is insane. Like here at the office it is continuously fog-bound, but when I go hiking, it's a 15 minute walk over some dunes to the sun. It's like this is the epicenter of some ill-advised scientific experiment which has frayed the boundaries between this world and some darker, more terrible realm. One day I fear the membrane will rupture entirely and squid-headed demons will spill out, snarling and hungry for human flesh   0_0

Microclimates.

You probably spent your time in Monterey or Pacific Grove.

They can afford to have sun over there. Luckily I don't mind fog.

  Crap, I sort of wanted to get some work done today but it's not looking good.

    EDIT: Not quite, Devil. I'm south about 100 miles on the central coast, but I grew up in Berkeley, across the Bay from S.F.

They get microclimates there as well. S.F. is cold, windy and foggy. It's just one of the reasons I would never want to live there.

  I'm doing great.  I have to head out to the mall (where it's air-conditioned) to buy some summer clothes for work.  And then, I'm going to lie on the couches and fall asleep until the security guard wakes me up.  I hope that he (security guard) is fresh, raw and sweating. ;)

  What are your plans, dearest?

Oh just trying to get some work done before I take off. The city is pretty much in "shut it down, open the bar and party" mode this week, so there is not much I can get done with my local clients, until next week anyways.

Hope you folks survive the heat.

Once the scales top 75 (American) I become a useless lump of humanity.

The scary thing is, once global warming goes into high gear we Americans were supposed to invade Canada and take up residence in the un-frozen North.

So stay frosty, Canada. No more heat waves. We need you!

It really doesn't matter what kind you get whatever you find that's more comfortable.

Hey Everyone!
 
 pl- I like the Mediflow water filled pillow.  I bought it a couple of years ago at the Stupidstore (pharmacy dept) and I think it's the best pillow ever.  I take it camping with me!
 [a href="http://www.mediflowtop10sleeptips.com/"]http://www.mediflowtop10sleeptips.com/[/a]
 
 It was a HOT day moving furniture out at my parents' place.  We decided to take the king sized bed frame and the couch out the front door and down the steep driveway, instead of down the curvy stairs to the basement.
 This isn't even the ACTUAL moving. This is just house staging for the real estate listing.  (The family has to look "normal' - limit 1 bed per room and lose the extra bookshelves lining each wall and the piles of extra books that don't even fit on a shelf...)
 
 Today I'm thankful for Jugo Juice smoothies and pisswater American beer.

I've never heard of a water filled pillow Lil Me.  I wonder if they are still around.

L'il Me, you must tell me more about that water pillow!  First question, does it ever leak?  How much?  You've got my attention.  I didn't know that existed.  I checked out the site and totaly feel for the person who gave the testimony that the neck doesn't hurt anymore.  My shoulders and neck have been aching due to me sitting in front of the computer all day long... :(

Sweat and smell, I didn't think about that PC.   Thanks for pointing that out.  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jul 11 07 10:21
The pillow doean't leak.  It came highly recommended by several chiros and my yogic flying friends.  It was pretty expensive- about $50 at StupidStore (?)- this was a few years ago.
 
 Mr LM is a chronic skeptic about everything, so he had his doubts about the crazy pillow.  But soon we were fighting over it, so we bought a 2nd one.
 
 Can anyone recommend a good mattress?  The one I'm sleeping on is seriously 20+ years old and feels like springs.  Most nights I'm too tired to feel a dang thing, but we should probably upgrade one of these years....

  I have some friends who have the memory foam pillows, and they would tell you they're the best things ever.  I think it's a glitch with ME that I don't care for them.  I slept at a friends a while ago who just spent a fortune on a memory foam matress cover.  It was just way too gross for me.  It was more like I was in a bath than a bed and the smell of the foam drove me nuts.  It FELT good to lie on it.....but it just didn't breathe or something.

  A good bed is a good investment.  I just bought a new one a year or so ago too.  It was almost instant that I woke up in the mornings not feeling stiff and achey.  I only paid half of what you did Russ, and it was a major improvement over what we had.[/DIV]

Gorgeous night last night. Biking was fun, my boy actually went pretty hard last night. We had some mint chocolate chip ice cream after.

Shu-weet!

  Any plans for the weekend? I am getting the heck out of the city again.

We are off to a Moyie Lake this time. No hiking, just swimming! Too hot to hike.

Good morning everyone.  

  How's everyone doing this morning?

  Lil Me, my parents spent about $2500 for their bed from Sleep Country.  It's really firm with extra padding on top.  I napped on it once and OMG, comfy!  I think that the really good beds are more than 2 grand.  They are thicker with that extra pad on top.  It's definitely worth the investment.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 12 07 09:57
We got the same type of thing purelife.....it is lovely.  Sleep country is VERY expensive.  In spite of their huge sales, they most often only bring their prices down to what Sears is selling it for as their regular price.  I bargain hunted for a year before I finally bought.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jul 12 07 10:09
I agree... they are verrry expensive.  Sears probably has a better sale.

  Oh, another thing that you could try that is a cheaper option, Lil Me, is to buy this extra padding from Costco.  My grandma-2-be has this extra padding on her bed and she says that it's the best thing.  I haven't tested out her bed yet, but will soon because I'm looking into one of these for now before I can afford something better.  At least, I'm not sleeping on my guy's OLD double-sized FUTON!

Post by: Lise on Jul 12 07 10:46
I've never used any of those fancy pillows but we do give a neck pillow for patients while they're in our chair and they swear by it. It's a buckwheat pillow from Costco... I'm not sure if they still sell it but they're supposed to be great support for your neck and head. You can pop them into the microwave and heat it for a few seconds if you wanted.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 12 07 11:04
I bought an Obus Forme (sp) pillow for myself last year and couldn't get used to it.  My neck kept feeling worse instead of better.  I gave one to my sister the year before and that is the only kind of pillow she finds comfortable.  So I guess it is an individual thing.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jul 12 07 11:07
Thanks for that info, Lise.  I'm going to check out Costco to see what they have.  I remember seeing all kinds of pillows there.  :))

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 12 07 11:10
I'm one of those types that could sleep on a rolled up jacket for a pillow....or no pillow at all.....so it wouldn't make much sense for me to spend a lot of money on one.....but that water filled pillow has sure got me intrigued.  It sounds kind of nice.

It's nice to sleep on hardwood floors too.  One day, I slept on my parent's floor.  They just had new hardwood placed throughout.  It was one of the most comfortable sleep that I've ever had.  I woke up with nothing aching!  Oh, I would sleep on my living room floor if I had the space in my apartment.

 Erm? Really? I would wake up in pain and ready to kill the first thing I saw.. fluffy dog or not. I have honestly found this double high queen sized air filled mattress I use when Im camping works great for when friends come over.

    I do agree with you PC.. in that whatever works for you is the best. I got a memory foam pillow cause I used to double stack pillows.. but with the memory foam it seems to work. But i will try out that water filled pillow, if anything for memories of how waterbeds used to be ;);)

Post by: Russ on Jul 12 07 02:57
Which? The dollar or the dollar? :):)

  So hows everyone doing today in the heat? Hows it over where you are PC, Sawdust?

  My brother and I were out in the garage down the back for all of five minutes and we have rivers of sweat coming down us.. the garage door and the side door were open, and the thermometer still read 37 degrees. So we went to costco, bought a 12,000 btu air conditioner (and some freezies!!!) then spent the next six hours installing that bad boy for the garage (it came with a remote even!). The problem was then trying to get the hole cut in the side of the garage to install that unit, we figured; drywall on teh inside, then insulation and framing, then the 1/2" planking covered in tar paper, chicken wire and then 1and1/2" stucko.. easy right? WRONG! We got the inside drywall and insulation out.. then even with a chainsaw pissing off the neighbors who were trying to suntan in their yard right next door we couldnt do it. We ended up buying these expensive 'demolition' blades which have the statement 'eats wood, nails, and stucco for breakfast' on the side of it.. and used three to make the hole for the AC unit. After we made the hole, and got the unit in.. we finally read the instructions and noticed it says for window ac installations only, not through wall. After all that though.. it stays.

  EDIT: the best part of the whole fiasco was when I was standing on the outside holding the AC unit on a slight angle for water drainage, and my brother went to spray the expanding foam to seal the hole and hold the ac firmly in.. he starting spraying on the side, it went around to another opening and spilled out onto him. He's yelling about some sort of foam i thought he said move the unit so i did.. causing more to come out, you think he would stop spraying when its coming out at him right? lol.

 Holy crap, Russ.  RTFM!!!
 
 It was a hot day in my packrat friend's garage.  We were piling stuff in the driveway in prep for the garage sale on Sat.  Now back to my parents' house to fill up more boxes of stuff I'm taking for my place: photos, slides, more of Mr LM's rock collection, the little box with my baby teeth in it (!) and yet another large stuffed polar bear.
 
 But first I'm taking Heckyl and Jeckyl to the water park.
 
 We just invented iced tea slushies at home: 1 tray of ice, a bunch of iced tea powder and some water in the blender.  Yummy.

  My only AC comes from my fan. Ah well. Better than poking your head in the freezer all day long and inviting strange comments from the kids.

It was perfect here today.

Temps in the high 60's (American), with a slight coastal breeze.

The fog was nowhere to be seen.

Ahhhh! Smells like...victory    =)

Well, enjoy the sun while it lasts, right, since you should have a snowstorm or some tornados soon I guess   =)

well if we have a snow storm in july that would be the biggest international news story of the year.
Although it did get around 15F (-10C) in late April. Which had never happened before.

 Umm, you dont know how accurate this statement is. LOL. One of my buddies bought a house with his family and they were going to tear it down.. it was empty but they would have to pay so much to have the drywall removed with the guts to get down to the framing.. which would then be removed. So he called me and uh.. I think it was 12-14 others and bribed us with as much pizza and cold beer we could drink over a weekend. He almost went broke when he realized the amount of beer we were consuming.. but we gutted that house in two days, only one couch through the front window, the cops came by twice on the second night when the neighbors complained about loud AC/DC playing and one of our buddies practicing his wrestling moves jumping off the back balcony onto doors on top of chairs below.

  we have two small ac units for two bedrooms in the upper house which are turned on later in the day so you can sleep at night.. my bedrooms in the basement so its nice and cool all the time. But Ive been looking at what is the next big craze down in the southern states and commiefornia where it gets super hot and expensive to run AC all the time.. big 3 foot fans that are solar powered you put through your roof, they are sealed and have a downward facing lip so water cant get in. It sucks the hot air that builds up in your house out so it keeps it MUCH cooler, and if you run a small ac unit it will not work nearly as hard.. hot air rises and cold air sinks....

Hey Everyone!  Back from my parents' with another treasure trove of surpises.  An Eaton's brand meat fondue set (new in box) from the 1960s, a pile of old photos, and assorted bottles.  I hit the liquor store museum tonight!  It was hilarious when the shelf collapsed and an avalanche of dusty bottles collapsed on me.  I'm taking home a box full of drinkable stuff, but you should have seen what we threw out....curdled Baileys, dusty Pernod, red Vermouth turning funny colours, 2 bottles of peppermint schnapps (yuck!), Japanese plum wine (yuck!), a bottle of Henessey from 1981 with ginseng bits added to it (yuck!)...
 
 Hafta go back on Sunday night and help drink another box full of dribs and drabs.  Lots of partial bottles.

I won't be on my knees.....they'll just be shaking.  It's VERY high.  We've left this for a few weeks, hoping we could combine the task with getting the roof done.....but the roofers aren't going to get out here until the end of August.  I'm not very good with heights.

  I love today. It isn't hot and the kids aren't cranky. More importantly, I'm not cranky!! Yayy! How is everyone today?

  Lunch in a few minutes. I'm just about to finish my chicken stew on the stove. Smells divine with potatoes and chicken pieces. I'm sure both kids will love it. As for me, I'm so tired of chicken but it's the only thing the kiddies will eat. Man..... what I'd do for a lovely steak. Russ, Russ wherefor art thou??

Afternoon Miss PC, Lise, PL, and Mr PC.

  Thunderstorm? Over here Its sunny with annoying birds squaking.. I wish I had some CO2 for my bb gun.

  Painting the peak with scaffolding? A long ladder or extensions on a paint roller wont do? How high is your roof?

Whatchya doing to your roof? Shingles, porcelain tiles, metal roofing? &lt;I recommend metal.. we did and love it&gt;

  You dont want to know Lise.. I just had a teriyaki seasoned steak that my brother had leftover from his bbqing dinner last night, not as good as mine of course ;);)        
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 13 07 01:19
 A long ladder or extensions on a roller won't work unfortunatley.  The peak is 3 stories.....but the problem is the cedar is really rough hewn....so you have to do some serious 'mashing in' with the paint brush to get into the overlap and the grain.

  We're going metal for the roof.   I'd love to go cedar shakes, but it's just not practical for the amount of crap that continually comes out of the trees.  So metal it is.  [/DIV]

 I think you are doing a good choice with the metal roofing. I just use my pressure washer once every few months to clean the roof.. even then i dont always need to, everything runs off. Are you having the old roof removed or just leaving it on and putting the metal on top? We left ours on for more sound insultaion.

  You think so? That's good to hear.  It was originally my LAST choice....but now I think it's the BEST choice.  The old roof HAS to be removed.  There is a foot of moss on it (no exaggeration) and I suspect the sheating will have to be replaced also.

(I can sure think of a dozen other things I'd prefer to spend $10,000 on.) Ugh....makes me sick when I think of it, and sicker when I write it.[/DIV]

  We even had a guy come out and measure for an estimate, and then never bothered to give us the estimate.  Dufus.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c003.gif" border=0]

Either the sandstone or the dove gray would look good with red cedar, I think.  Either of them would go well with the green on the workshop.  But you have a discerning eye and good taste when it comes to colours, so I know you will choose the right one for you, P.C.

Morning!  Off to my packrat friend's garage sale.  Heckyl and Jeckyl are not alowed to buy ANYTHING because a lot of the treasure for sale was either plundered from my place or my parents'.  (with just my luck, they will buy back the sandblasted glass salad bowl- wedding present that looks like a golf trophy- engraved with a "heartfelt" inscription and mine and Mr LM's names on it.....)
 
 Going to an Indian Music concert tonight- singer and dancer from India.  Supposed to feature a woman dancing on a clay pot.  I'm sure we'll enjoy it.  Heckyl and Jeckyl like going to shows.

Hey Lil Me.  Let us know how successful the garage sale went. The Indian concert sounds interesting too.  How did you find out about the event?  I'm sure you guys will be having a wonderful time! :))))

Last night, we went on a double date with my brother and his gal.  After dinner, we went over to the Richmond Night Market.  It was a fun time. I brought a  HUGE bag of kettle corn to share amongst all of us.  OMGYUM!

Ok, gotta go and enjoy the sun.  Have a wonderful rest of the day everyone. :)

I'm going to the Indian music show because my friend organized it.
 
 The garage sale is over and done with.  Got rid of a lot of junk....the remainder is either piled up outside for the Freecycle or sitting in the truck waiting to be driven to the Sally Ann.
 
 Some weirdo even bought the engraved glass wedding present salad bowl.  (yikes)
 But noone wanted the wooden clog with my name woodburned on the side...

It's good that you had a good garage sale, Lil Me. Remind me to get pointers from you when I next see you.

  purelife - you're right about Transformers. We just watched it yesterday and geegollywosh, it was INCREDIBLE. Got that stupid song in my head and was humming it all day yesterday. The captain in that movie is SO HAWT!! OMG. Melt the screen off the movie for me. When he hugged his little girl, I just died there.....

  I seriously want to be his uniform in my next incarnation.

  Just bought a low cut shirt from Hilfiger store for like $20 on sale. No wonder it's on sale. No sane woman would buy that and no bend over properly. Hehe. I was eating popcorn at the threater and guess how many decide to nestle in my bra. Hubby laughed it off, said he could help me remove the kernels, I told him, Hell No! Unless you look like the captain, I can keep my kernels there, thank you very much.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jul 15 07 10:25
hahahah.  Funny story, Lise.
 
 Now I want to see Transformers!  Mr LM and Heckyl/Jeckyl have already seen it.
 
 Wassup wit everyone today?  I think we'll stop at Lonsdale Quay because Jeckyl wants to look at boats- we were there earlier in the week, but food shopping in a hurry- so he was kinda cheesed about that.  Back to my parents' to pick up another wagon-load, then hopefully watching an outdoor concert at Ambleside beach.

Morning everyone...

  Transformers was awesome! Went and watched it with a few firends yesterday. well worth it. The captain on there is from that show 'Casino' Las Vegas. It had two seasons.

  A garage sale and i missed it? Waah!!

  Dunno what we are doing.. I want to see about getting out in the boat..

Good job on your busy week Lil Me.  You really sound like you've got it together when it comes to balancing getting things done and kid time.  I bow deeply in your direction. I hope you take a moment to pat yourself on the back.

yup. Watched the tour this morning, they tackled the mountains. insane. Some guy crashed and went flying down a cliff when he was descending down a mountain. He landed in a tree, got up, climbed to the road got a new bike and kept going. lol

Getting ready for grandma she's coming up here. Then I'm going to KC next weekend.

Post by: Russ on Jul 15 07 09:24
Evening DS'ers.. well the boat never happened. Ended up tinkering on the truck, and then doing the brakes on a buddies car. After that we just carried on drinking a few brews in the sun, buddy picked up his g/f and a few others showed up so we ended up pulling chicken out of the freezer and bbqing.. impromptu bbq's are the bestest.

  What colour are you going with PC? We ended up going with a dark earthy brown colour and had our faciea (sp?) boards (er metal) changed to that colour as well.

  We are now sitting down to watch 'The Contractor' with westley snipes, then 'The Shooter' with Mark Whalberg
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 15 07 09:48
Funny how plans can change on a dime, Russ.  Well at least it sounds like a productive day.

  Impromptu ANYTHING is always the bestest.

  I'm leaning towards a charcoal roof.  I don't particularly like the colour 'we' chose for the house....it was picked by 2 self proclaimed colour challenged people.....I bowed out and will live with 'our' choice.....LOL.  Anyways......brown will fight with the reddish.....and any of the greens that are available will fight with my trim colour....so I'm thinking to remove the notion of trying to match anything and going with something complimentary.  Ummm....that would be grey.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Jul 15 07 09:51
That sounds reasonable.  Charcoal is a good colour that will blend with anything.  You have to choose the colour you want...you're the one that lives there.

Evening everyone.

I knew that you would love Transformers Lise.  I would definitely watch it again and it's a DVD BUY!  Uh, which captain hugging the girl? I don't remember a captain....I missed a hawt guy?!!  :(((

Today, we went to WaterMania in Richmond.  AWESOME place.  We enjoyed the waterslides and the "wave!"  I loved the steam room, way better than the sauna.  We then enjoyed fish n chips by Steveston.  For lunch, we went to Tropika for some Malaysian cuisine.  Not bad. :)

Oh, if anyone of you is thinking about watching Harry Potter, DON'T DO IT!  It's a rental.  Actually, IMO, it SUCKED!  We watched it last night.  What a waste....

You know what PC?  I was thinking the same thing when I saw the sauna and steam room.  I noticed that the steam room was MUCH hotter than the sauna..... uhm, that was about it?  Other than that, I have no clue.  I don't know how much different it is....  I prefer the steam room myself.  

Evening PC and Sportsdude.

I was dissapointed in the Harry Potter movie too. It seemed rushed and Harry didn't suffer enough and they didn't focus in on the Phoenix folks (Tonks (the girl who changes her hair constantly) has a big role in the book, but in the movie she doesn't even talk)


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

The whole Cho telling about the room never happened in the book. It was a different character.
Dobby tells Harry about the room not Longbottom finding it.

I didn't read the book.  I couldn't get into her third novel.  I know that books are almost always better than the movie.

But, we made up for it by renting some movies from Blockbuster.

That night, we watched The Bridge to Terabithia.  OMG, awesome Disney movie.  I was balling my eyes out... what a SAD SAD movie but with a great moral to it.

Evening everyone!  I don't like saunas or steam rooms for more than 5 mins.  Too stuffy.  I think a sauna is usually "dry" and a steam room has...steam.
 
 Picked up more treasures from my parents' house (tonight's A+ find was a set of dark solid wood salad bowls from the 1970s- including the large serving bowl!!!).  Watched boats while chewing through a bubble tea at Lonsdale Quay (sore jaw now!) but never made it to the evening concert at Ambleside...Heckyl and Jeckyl too busy playing at my parents' house.
 
 Watermania sounds totally fun!
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jul 15 07 10:51
Chewing bubble tea?   Was it the pearls?  Hey, which flavor do you like, Lil Me?

Your boys would've LOVED Watermania out in Richmond.  I've never been to one before and we are definitely going back there again very soon.  I spent more time having fun than actually swimming some laps.  Ah well....

I had pineapple bubble tea with pearls.  And I've been feeling slightly ooky ever since.  Could be that, or the weird combination of foods I've ingested since then, or the ancient remnents from my parents' liquor museum.  ("You don't want WINE with dinner?", says my mom?  "No, I'm trying to drink up the dribs and drabs", says I as go to the garage in search of the cheap Scotch.  Why waste the good stuff when you can drink dreck?)  Now I'm at home drinking an airline bottle of Newfoundland Screech with really  flat Pepsi.  It's ooky.

Good morning!  It's overcast right now, but these clouds will probably clear off as the day goes on.  I'm having my morning coffee transfusion.  For some unknown reason the coffee tastes extra good today.  Maybe it's because I don't have to work today.

weekend was sooo HOT! We were at Moyie Lake camping...er, if you can call it that, in a friends RV. Really, just needed a place to crash because we didn't go more than 10 metres from the water all day. It was about 38 all weekend.

My tan is darker than ever.

That water was so beautiful! We even BBQ'd supper, right by the water.

 Morning lovely people!

  purelife! How could you miss out on that SUPER HAWTNESS captain from Transformers? You'd have to be blind to miss that god of sexiness! Oh well, nevermind, I'll salivate on him on your behalf.

  Wow. The pool looks terrific. I can't go to any swimming pool. Lise Jr. won't let me. For some reason, she's scared of water. I dunno why. I thought all kids love water but this one's pretty freaked out about water that's above her knees. Weird kid. Maybe she'll grow outta it soon.

  Devil. You and a tan. Hmmmm. Sounds like a date! (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/20.gif) Can I be your suntan lotion next time? Hehe.

  I didn't think the HP movie was that good. The trailer certainly looked disappointing. And after three movies, you tend to get a little tired of it all. I mean, one can only stomach so much muggle mischief. Hubby wants to see it though.... I think I'll pass on this one.

  I did see Bridge to Terabitha. Awesome stuff. And yes, I did ball my eyes out. Totally unexpected. Good acting by those two kids. [/DIV]

Afternoon miss PL.. I had a wrap today. We ended up going out to Wallyworld to look at stuff and saw this place called 'the wrap place' or something to that effect in the mini outlet mall accross from wallyworld.. seemed ok a subway type place. It seems to have been in business for ten years and come from Ontario centre of the universe. Leetle bit expensive too.. 10.32 for the wrap, drink, and bag of chips.

Yeah, it was pretty good. I had the chicken caesar and my brother had the regular chicken wrap. They have an ingenious way of wrapping them before giving them to you, cause the way you open and eat them with the wax paper thingy they have on it keeps you pretty clean.

hey lise, just the regular cleaning. I fell asleep on the chair again. lol

Mashed potatoes are done.  Gravy is in the micro.  Burger patties are cooked, but waiting on grilled veg.  BBQ is a little slow tonight- the Scouts used our BBQ for the hot dog stand at Canada Day and it was COVERED in grease when they brought it back!  Mr LM scrubbed the thing with Vim bleach cleaner, but I still needed to let it sit and cremate for a bit before adding food!
 
 I'm looking forward to the mashed potatoes!!!
 
 At least Heckyl and Jeckyl don't care that dinner is late- it's summer time and they're in Nintendo DS land.... (they recently saved their own money and bought DS units in the States)

Pong? Wow. That's a name I haven't heard in eons. I remember walking by one of the cousins of cousins of whatever and the boys were hooked on the game. I remembered thinking, "What a stupid game, two sticks and a ball bouncing between them....." Boy, games have come a long way since then.

  You guys should try the wrap at this wrap place at the Metrotown Mall. I had the crab wrap and it was good........ avoid the mango salad though (you get two side orders with your wraps) as they weren't very sweet.

  For dinner tonight, I made homemade phad thai. Damn proud it came out edible. At least I registered no complains.

  Hey Lise.  Have you ever heard of Farmer's Market?  There are 3 locations and one of them is at Trout Lake.  During the mornings, until 2ish, all the local farmers meet at the lake and sell their seasonal produce (only on Saturday's).  I've never been there, but my friend says that it's TONS of fun (for kids too).  I'm going to check it out one of this Saturday.  I love fresh veggies.  :))

Sorry, Lise.  What I'm specifically doing is creating marketing illustrations to help sell her two suites.  It's a one-page ad showcasing the suite.  On the ad, I have a write-up, some pics and of course, the layout of the suite.  I have to put it altgether and make it look pretty.

 I'm sure the Pastafarian Monkee likes the Old Spag Factory, too.
 What's not to like?  Cheap 3 course dinners for $10 incl a drink (soup/salad, pasta, ice cream and tea/coffee/pop) as well as cheap house wine by the litre.

Hey Lise! My Aussie/Canadian amiga!

(Australians are so cool!)

Yep, bagels are great. I go to a bagel place on my way to work. They sell only fresh bagels and they cook them in an old fashioned fireplace type stove?? not sure what the exact name is for the cooking device? But wow! Best bagels I ever found. The place is called Wayne's Bagels.

  Calories, smalories! Calories in the morning are good for you. haha! Now, a bagel at bedtime, may not be as wise for the belly.

Hey!  Hope everyone had a good day.  What's new? What's for dinner?
 
 I'm BBQing some pork loin from the freezer.  It was in a ziplock bag- so I have no idea what I marinated it in.  Soy sauce?  I can't remember.  It'll be a mystery until we eat it.

  Dinner tonight was celebration at Samosa Garden. My mother-in-law's b'day. Lovely spices there. We went home and had Orea Cookie cake. I think that was the best part of the whole evening.

Happy Birthday SD. Best wishes for the year and all.

    Lil Me. We had three dishes to spare between us (the kids refused to eat so I had to pack them something instead). We ordered chicken biriyani, bokura (spelling?) kebab with potato masala and naan bread and a mixed chicken grilled platter. I was so stuffed yesterday.... we even had a bit leftover to take home.

  You should go for their buffet. It's cheaper for dinner Mons to Thurs. $14.00 or so. They also have specials take-out. We usually order their mixed grill platter take-out on Mondays. Worth every penny.

Mmmm.  I'm hungry now!  (I can't take my kids for Indian food- Heckyl is allergic to dairy and Jeckyl won't eat anything with spices- so he eats naan).
 
 Thanks for the tip about the weekday dinner buffet.  Mr LM and I went for dinner buffet one New Year's (4 years ago?) but I had forgotten about it.
 
 I loooove butter chicken, even though I know it's the "sweet and sour pork" of the Indian menu.  I can't help myself.  (I'm a sucker for sweet and sour pork in red sauce as well...)
 
 I can't wait for the PNE.  I usually leave clutching my stomach...after butter chicken and naaan, a fried whale's tail, a Ukranian smokie, an ice cream, some fresh scones with jam....

cotton candy is the only reason to go to the pne. oh and to check out the locol eyecandy.

  lunch for me was an authentic tasting falafel... pretty good. the guy was authentic too! I couldnt understand what he was saying to me, lol. But I keep going back cause its local and the foods good.

  Dinner i think is going to be indian food.. you people have given me the urge. Theres a really good place at 49th and Main in South Vancouver thats a 5.99 all you can eat. Its fedgitarian but you buy a meat dish to go with it, and its worth it.

Good afternoon.

  I was in a meeting all day this morning and I just had to leave to eat.  I'm starving.  So, for lunch, I have some leftover salad with grilled chicken.

  My evening last night was absolutely perfect.  I haven't had such a wonderful evening like that for YEARS!  

  So, I got home, drove to the grocery store to pick up ingredients for dinner.  I then prepared t-bone steak and salad for dinner for the two of us.  Then, we walked to the New Westminster Quay with our freezies and had a nice walk along the pier.  Then, brought some ice-cream at the store.  After, we went home to watch our rental, Catch and Release...

  Yep, a lovely evening. :)))

Hey Lil Me! I love butter chicken too! Samosa Garden has the best butter chicken ever! I tried replicating the recipe at home but it's not the same. For some reason, it doesn't taste as creamy as theirs. One thing about butter chicken though.... it's not for the weak hearted! I can't believe the amount of butter and ghee (oil) and cream that goes into that. Calories galore.

  Oh another thing, if you head down to the PNE next Saturday (July 28th) there's going to be tons of food on display. Admission is free and you can purchase food from 50 cents or so.

  Here's the link if you're interested:

Happy B-Day sports. I always forget 21 is legal age in the US. I know myself, by the time I turned 21, I was starting to slow down a bit on the drinking. Thank goodness, my liver would have been dissolved by the time I turned 22 at that rate.

  I haven't been to the PNE for about 14 years or so. Never got into it through my 20s.  Leaving town always seemed much more appealing to me. If anyone goes, hope it is a sweet time!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 18 07 02:30
yeah, I personally think 21 leads to more drinking problems. Kids are going to drink at 18-21 pretty heavily and then when they hit 21 they can do that legally. I know lots of kids on the 6 year plan in university. Mostly because they go to class drunk.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Jul 18 07 02:54
haha! crazy! I never would have wanted to show up at class drunk!

19 seems like a fair age. 18 seems a bit young, like in Alberta. But then again, if a guy (or gal) can go to Afgahnistan at 18 and be part of a massive bloody carnage and live to witness it, for God's sake, let them have a shot of Crowne and a beer.

  Nothing wrong with a few drinks now and then either. I always say, if you drink casual, you can drink all night!

  Hope your day is good!

Hey Devil,

  I think Playland needs an upgrade. It's feeling its..... whatcha call it.... age. It's been there forever and the rides (though some are new) needs to be more exciting, I feel.

  I went there last year with Lise Jr. The sad part was most of the rides were not for her because of the height restriction. Oh well. We may skip this year and go next so the other one doesn't feel too left out.

  The food vendors at the Playland (and more so during PNE) charges outrageous prices! I can't believe how much you had to pay for a measly ice cream or bag of chips. Rip-off.

  I hear you on those doughnuts there, PC. Hm. Delicious. So light and fluffy. There's this store right by Superstore in Metrotown that sells them, a dozen for $3.00. Such a BAD spot to put tempting doughnuts after you've shopped at Superstore. And then when they hand out samples, that's it! Hook, line and sink!

Good morning miss PL, PC, and SD

    Hope your birthday was a good one SD... 21 for you was Im sure what 19 was for me. Right after I was finished work that day, a few friends showed up to meet me.. they took me to the closest strippers (which was Fraser Arms at the time), walked in and saw 17 of my friends there. I was one of the last in my group of friends to turn 19, not that we hadnt been drinking for the last few years... we all had fake id's.

  Sounds like a great Bday though, having dinner with your dad at the bar Im sure was worth it. Are you the older one in your group of friends?

  Dinner last night was good, ended up heading out for the Wednesday night Karaokee drinking night at the local, so I had a beer for ya SD. A few friends I hadnt seen for a while showed up, and still the group couldnt convince me to sing.

Good morning everyone,

  Yet another dismay day. Oh well. Looks like it's goodbye to the summer months. Hello fall and more rain......

  Strippers! Russ! Does Starfish know about this? Does this mean you'll have to sleep out on the couch tonight? If you're going to a stripper's club for a friend's b'day, I do wonder what will happen when it's your turn for a Bachelor Night's Out. Hmmm.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jul 19 07 09:53
  lol, good morning miss Lise.. yes Starfish knows about this. On a friends bday last year, when he turned 19 we all went to mugs and jugs for his bday. All the gf's including starfish came.

  yeah on the &lt;sigh&gt; for the rain.. i think it spoils our thoughts for a trip to the sunshine coast.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Morning Russ and Lise.

  Starfish went to Mugs and Jugs too?  I've been there once, but only for pool.

Did you guys enjoy lap dances?  I know that the females there LOVE to lap dance on females rather than the guys.  Did SS get harrased? ;)  I heard that they have excellent burgers.

  I sure hope that it gets sunny.  I'd like to wear my summer dresses again.

  Drats, got a meeting from 10 - 1pm.  I sure hope that it doesn't last that long.  Someone, RESCUE me from the dreaded boring meeting!!!!!!!!

    No lapdances for us! we bought a few for the bday guy though, his gf thought it was funny, we arent too sure he remembers the whole night though. No food from there that night, but I do remember the food being pretty good from before.

  I used to know a few strippers when I was younger through other friends.. one of them even had a pair of bolt on's. I remember making that comment to them Lise, and they said the first while it was a little hard, but they got used to it, and it doenst bother them. One in particular said its like a thrill when you have a bunch of people cheering you on and clapping. I dunno.

  Hey Lil Me.  How did you know that your brakes needed to get done?  Sorry if this is a dumb question.  I think that mine need to get done as well, so I'll have to take my car into the mechanic for a health check up on Saturday.  The brakes keep screeching.

  I had butter chicken with lentils and cabbage.  DELICIOUS!

 My brakes started making the metal GRINDING sound this week, so it's time to do something fast.  A few times, I've left it too long and thrashed the rotors as well.

Yup, I mean no, I'm not Russ, but my car is pretty new and it has always (since I've owned it) squeeked in the morning when I'm backing up. I'm sure my neighbors love hearing that at 6:30 in the morning (American, you can keep your metric trash).

  Anyway, Russ can you fix my brakes so they won't squeek?

Happy Birthday to Jeckyl, Lil Me.  This one is your younger son, right?  I didn't know that you get a free pizza.  Is this only for kids?  Me and Ed's have the BEST pizza!

I saw Tammy Faye on LK last night for a brief moment.  It's sad and tragic to see someone suffer like that.  I don't even know who Tammy Faye is.

Hey!  Yes, Jeckyl is the younger one.  Turned 6 today!  Me n Ed's BDay Club is for kids under 12.  You get a free personal pizza and a pop.  (Funny, I can't remember entering him, but he received a coupon in the mail a few days ago...)  Heckyl had a toasted sub and I had a Greek salad.
 
 For his BDay, he wanted a Build A Bear animal, so he built himself a dog (Husky named Furry).  I think he'd really like a REAL dog, but that isn't going to happen because half the family is allergic and we live in a condo!

 Evening all.

  Build-A-Bear is expensive. Each time I pop in for a visit, I'm constantly amazed at the outrageous price tag for stuffing an animal. Not to mentioned accessories and what-have-you-not. Plus they're interest in the stuffed animal only last for so long before they move on to other things.

  We're extremely lucky to have a dog that tolerates children. Despite being highstrung on some things, our little guy's pretty good with the kids. Doesn't chew on their toys and doesn't bite back when the little one yanks on his fur and tail mercilessly. No wonder he keeps hiding under the dining table.

  Lil Me. Anytime you want to bring your kiddies over and play with my dog, they're welcome to it. Go for a walk, whatever. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif)

Geez. That's old for a pet. Well, at least there's still a spark in Ozzie.

  I don't like death talk. It's so damn depressing. My father-in-law would bring it up if we try to get him treatment for whatever. He'll say, "I'm old, I'm gonna die, leave me alone etc. etc. etc." We're trying to get him to fix his bladder problem but he doesn't want any knife near that area. Can't blame him. It's still depressing to hear old people talk about death.

  Wonder if we're all going to be the same....? No. I can imagine all of us, sitting in our old beds, typing on laptops on DS while eating our pills and whatever medication nearby. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

I notice that older people seem to talk about death too.  I don't like to hear it when they tell me that they're going to die soon or something.  I know that sooner or later, with old age, you have to die.  I'd like to believe that everyone lives forever.  But, that ain't happening...

she's so short though she had to reach to turn on the light switch on the wall in her room.
Although she gets to nag she's been through a lot, she only has a 1/2 of a lung left so that's where all the 'dying talk' comes from.
She worked in coal mines that were so dusty she couldn't see her hands in front of her.

Morning all!

  Hey Russ, I also have a question about cars. Our car has been doing something funny just last week. When we come to a stop, the engine shuts off completely and we have to restart. It's weird because the car is brand new. It doesn't make any noise just before it dies, it just dies all of a sudden. Can it be that we have water in the oil? The car's brand new so it doesn't make any sense.

  Hi Devil. One more week till you're off somewhere nice, sunny and warm! OMG. So jealous. Can you possibly bring back more sunshine while you're there? Darn it but we need more sun here in Vancouver. Been raining miserable days lately.

Lise;

  It sounds like your car is a hybrid wannabe. It saves fuel by turning off the engine when idling.

  Seriously, it would not be water in the oil or even the fuel tank, you would notice it at all times not just when coming to a stop. If it's new, take it to the dealer. If it is not new, take it to the dealer anyway.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I don't have a bread machine.  I guess I could try making pizza dough from scratch, if P.C. can tell me how to do it.

Good morning Lil ME, PC, Purelife, kitten, and Lise.

I second PC's pizza dough idea, and using a bread maker. I cant help you with what pizza crust to buy lil me, I can tell you we buy the big frozen pizzas from stupidstore though and then add more of our own meat and cheese on top of it.

  Miss Lise, as Schade said, for what it sounds like take it to the dealer. There should be NO water in the oil whatsoever, never ever.. if theres water or dirt in the gastank (another thing I doubt) it has different symptoms from what you described.

Hey Lil Me....another option is to buy the loaves of frozen bread dough.  I think they come 3 or 5 to a bag.  It makes wonderful pizza, foccasia, cinnamon rolls, calzones.  Thaw....roll.....top.  I haven't used it in years, but I used to use it a lot.  

  Other than that, I'm no help for any ideas on a premade crust.

OK....this is my P off de jour.

  I'm going through some bills, and notice that I was charged for a pay per view movie that I did not order.  It's not a BIG amount of money here.....but, it's MY money. (well...our money)  This movie came on one day when I was experiencing problems with my remote control, as I don't have a degree.  So the menu on my PVR was running BEHIND this movie.  So I called tech support and said....HELLLLLLP !  

  The guy was really good, and walked me through the process to get this resolved.  At the end of the conversation, I said half joking....so I won't be charged for this movie, right?  (which only ran during the time it took for the techie to walk me out of the mess)  He laughed and said of course not.

  I called them up and said HEY ! (and then the big story)  To make a long story even longer....she said she could not credit me with the amount, as it was too long ago.  So I asked her if I left my bill unpaid for 'too long',  would that mean I didn't owe it any more.  She said no.....it's just that they don't have records that far back (3 months).  Me:  But you DO have records that far back, if I owe YOU money. She said yes.

  I don't like Shaw.

  I'd send them a copy of YOUR RECORDS with a demand for credit.  Stupid bureaucratic organizations!!!
 
 I remember one day many years ago, I tried to pay my phone bill (which was unusually large one month) at the B.C. Phone Mart store in the mall (!...this is how long ago this took place) and they REFUSED to take cash payment because the bill was over $100.  I had cash in hand and they wouldn't take it.  They told me to go pay at the bank or send a cheque.  
 
 EDIT: Back in the day, the B.C. Phone Mart store at the mall was your telephone company.  You set up new phone service there, bought phones there, and paid your bill there.

Ridiculous (and illegal I think)  I recall looking in to that once.  Since when was a cheque better than cash.

  She read back to me the date that the movie was 'rented'.  So they HAVE records.  They also say each and every time you call, that "this conversation will be recorded" for something or other....can't remember the spiel.  You can be assured they would have very clear records if I owed them.

It may be petty, but this kind of one way nonsense is really frustrating.

Hey P.C., you sound like my brother.

Shaw sent him a bill for $67. He told them he had paid it. They said their records show different. I don't know why my brother has no record of paying and I didn't ask but a few months later got a notice from a collections agency to pay $150. He asked what happens if he does not pay? They told him they would garnish his wages. He paid and a month later got a cheque from Shaw for $67 overpayment. I think it was his own fault for getting sucked in by them but still....

Shaw/Telus and all monopolized companies really suck a** in customer service.  They could care less.  Same applies to BC Medical.  GRRR! I've got stories and stories and my FRUSTRATING experiences but won't get into them again.  But, I feel for ya PC.  I know how it is, trying to deal with these people.  Sometimes, just ask to speak to the Supervisor/Manager.    And BULLSH*T for not having recorded messages.  The company that I work for has a Call Centre division and we keep recorded calls forever!  All calls turn into a .wav file and saved onto our mega harddrive.  So, a call could be retrieved anytime.  What a bunch of B*LL from Shaw.

  *sigh*.... it's been so busy at work for me.  So, had to take a break or I'm going to go absolutely mental.

Yea, it's defiitely too short.  I wonder if it was legal.  What if there was a court battle and these records had to be retrieved?  For us, I know that we have to keep our taxes for up to 7 years (or was it 8?) and after that, we could throw them away.  So, I'm pretty sure that there would be a legal timeframe to keep calls.

  A garnish seems like it would be like an enhancement.  You know....like an extra 50 bucks.  THAT'S a garnish.

Hey!  What's for dinner?  I'm going to try some frozen cabbage rolls from the StupidStore.  You're supposed to put them in a baking dish and cover with tomato sauce.  Now for some garnishment, because I haven't figured out what else to eat with them.  Veggie sticks and cheese toast?

Evening all. Boy, it's has been a busy afternoon. I guess Friday's a bit of a relaxing day for everyone.

  I've booked an appointment with our dealer on Monday morning. I hope they won't charge us anything. They shouldn't, right? I mean, it should be under warranty. Thanks to all for your advice. I'll keep you posted on what's been happening.

  Bummer about the Shaw deal thingy, PC. I hope karma bites them back. Corporate big ass are so mean when it comes to sweet little things like us. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Jackass, the Movie. You like it, Lil Me? Seriously? OMG. I couldn't stomach more than 5 mins of that movie. Thought it was so so SO stupid. I think the 40 Year Old Virgin is much better. Steve Carrell is so hilarious. I can't wait for his Noah movie (forgot the name) to come to DVD so I can rent it.

Hey Lise!  If the car's under warranty, they can't charge you.  Don't worry about it!  Enjoy your weekend.
 
 I like Jackass.  What can I say?  I like physical comedy.  I like America's Funniest Videos, Laurel and Hardy, and live action animal movies featuring the voice talent of Eddie Murphy...
 
 I got my car fixed today.  New front brakes.  Rear brakes are still fine.  Love my friendly neighbourhood mechanic.  He's honest and only fixes what needs doing.

Sounds like a yummy dinner, you two. I'm not a big fan of halibut. Dunno. Maybe I just don't know how to make em. You'll have to tell me the secret to making fish burgers, PC. Each time I put it on a grill, they come back.... in pieces. I do love salmon burgers though. Yum.

  Thanks for the words of comfort, Lil Me. If they start charging me, I'm not taking any crap. It's brand new, you shouldn't have to be charged for that. I think I read somewhere that it's under a 3 year warranty. Now I'm hesistant about cars made by Mazda. Hmm.

  Dinner tonight was dried anchovies in sambal sauce. I'm not sure I'm going to make that dish again. Tasted... kinda.... well, they were hard to swallow. Hubby flat out refused to eat anchovies, claims the little eyes watched his every move. Can't say I blame him even though I removed all the heads and guts (which took forever considering how small these suckers are). I made coconut flavored rice which the kids love.

  Can't wait to watch Sin City tonight. Good stuff. I gotta lock the kids up.....

It's a Malaysian acquired taste, those dried anchovies. You can usually spot them (smell them) if you browse through any of those Asian medicine shops. Kinda looks like this.

  (http://geocities.com/Tokyo/Market/7773/vegetarian_recipe/ikan_bilis.gif)

  See? I wasn't kidding about them big ole eyes staring at you........ and yes, you get the eat everything, bone and all. If it's done right, they really do taste good.

  Yes, you can make coconut rice, Lil Me, in the rice cooker, believe it or not. You just add coconut milk and 1/2 water of whatever you measure your rice. If you prefer thicker, richer taste, just add coconut milk and no water. Toss in a few grated ginger and viola. I added a pandan leaf but you don't really need to. Malay term for the rice is: nasi lemak. Another Malaysian dish.

  I made this dish: [A href="http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Market/7773/nasilemak.html"]http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Market/7773/nasilemak.html[/A] from my website.

Hey PC.

  Awww. Thank you, lady. I love hearing about your tips too, PC. I'm always out for good recipes so I enjoy talking about these things with everyone.

  Most of my recipes..... are quite experimental. Hehe. The more exotic and difficult to make, the more I want to make them. If they work OK, then it goes into my coverted book of recipes which I intend to hand down to my kids.

  So far, the only one who doesn't complain is my dog. He's not too fussy which is why I love having him in the kitchen. He's so darn attentive and non-fussy.

  It may be well advised to take note of your dogs good manners.  There are a lot of PEOPLE who could learn about not biting the hand that feeds them.  I will give you a blessing to pass on to puppy.

  Experimentation and adventurous-ness in cooking, to me.....is the best indication of a good cook.

  I like your recipe book idea Lise.....what a treasure that would be to them when they grow up.

  I made a cookbook for hubby a few years back, with all of HIS successes.  I did a nice cover....table of contents and his photo on the front....lol.  I laminated each page and had it spiral bound.  He loved it.  I called it [FONT size=4]Mmmm[/FONT].  (My Man's Marvelous Meals)  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]   *you could call it My MOM's.........[/DIV]

Good morning everyone.

How much were your front brakes, Lil Me?  Our mechanic quoted us $450 including tax for all 3 things.... can't remember what they were...brakes, pads, calibers,  I think.  Our back brakes were 60% ok.  Our mechanic said that our car was in good condition.  We had to change the oil and told us to check the oil levels in two weeks time to see if it has gone down 2 litres.  I sure hope our car isn't burning fuel that quick or it would be pretty serious.

I'm having such a wonderful weekend so far.  We watched a bit of the fireworks from our balcony that were shooting from New West Quay, Friday and Sat. night.  We went to a huge family get-together last night and tonight, we're going to the IMAX theatre to watch that Dinosaur 3D show.  Should be fun. :)))

Ok, hope everyone else is having a wonderful day.

Post by: Lise on Jul 22 07 04:09
Hello! Hello!

  Hope you had fun at your dino show, purelife. I wish I could go and watch shows like that with the kiddies. Oh well. All in good time.

  Nothing exciting. Rain's put a stop on things so we basically stayed around Burnaby. Went to the Crystal Mall and got a few items. Really busy over the weekend but so dirt cheap. Bakery goods went on sale around 3 to 4pm but I didn't buy the buns there. The last ones I bought were kinda stale so I have to wonder if they mix the fresh ones with the stale ones.

  Ms. Crystal Mall Cover Girl 2007 was in fully swing. Of course, hubby made a bee line to go see the hot Asian chicks. Meh. Whatever stokes his chi......

Hey Everyone!
 
 pl-sounds like a fun weekend!
 
 Lise-lol at hubby at the Crystal Mall.  Can't take men anywhere...
 
 pl- My front brakes were cheaper at the local mechanic.  Here's a breakdown.  Don't ask me what it all means...I'm typing directly from the invoice.
 $77.31 parts (Brake Pads B - Ceram)
 $5.00 suppl
 $105.00 labour (service front brakes, clean &amp; lube brake system, machine rotors, repl front pads)
 plus PST and GST
 
 My day was pretty good.  Church, lunch, groceries, started watching Roseanne Season 1.  I'm laughing like stink.
 
 Shake n Bake chicken (0.99 per pound drumsticks at T&amp;T) for dinner.  Tried something new- dip chix in BBQ sauce then shake n bake.  It was really good!
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jul 22 07 09:19
Evening Lil Me.  Thanks for that breakdown... yea, I don't get it either.  It looks like you just got your pads done?  I could be wrong.    If not, that means that my mechanic is charging me WAYYYY too much for brakes.  

Shake n bake is yummy.  Don't you just love T&amp;T for cheap food?!!

For dinner, we had cabbage rolls with fresh fruit for dessert.

That's a perfect description purelife.  Aside from the fact that it tastes yummy, it's a really social way to share food.  I can see this as being a good way to get kids to eat almost anything too.  They seem to have a better time eating things that they had a hand in cooking.  (with a wee bit of assistance of course)

That hotpot picture looks great! I do hope you'll be doing more hotpots to come, PC. It's really so easy to do, a no-brainer.

  Looking forward to this Friday..... woohoo!!!

  I made satay sauce yesterday. Surprisingly good. No more package stuff for this little lady. If you want things to taste really authentic, do it yourself. Next up, something with a bit of kick. I'm thinking of doing fish head curry. Too bad nobody wants to suck the eyes with me. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  ARGH! I have to get to Superstore to buy more diapers. I swear, I'm thoroughly fed-up with diapers. My 3 year old doesn't want to part with her diaper for some weird reason. *sigh*

  How is all today? Looks like another beautiful but hot day. My snap pea dragons are looking mighty fine though I must say our oregano plants are growing like crazy. Seemed to be attracting all types of bees by the dozen which is making me nervous. Not too crazy about bees........

Good morning.....yawn.

  I've always thought those disposable diapers are the culprit in kids getting toilet trained later than they used to.  Back in the old cloth diaper days, kids practically trained themselves.  When they're wet.....THEY'RE WET and HEAVY.  They can't wait to shed those puppies.  The disposables are so comfy....that's even their whole marketing strategy.  They feel dry, even when they're wet.

And now some genius has come out with disposable 'training pants' that get cool when they are wet.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a little too late at that point ?

I've heard the same thing about Telus working well on the Island, Russ.  

  So, SD, I would go with Telus because I know quite a few people who work from the Island and are happy with Telus's reception.  Don't get Fido because they are only good within GVRD.  I don't know about the other carriers like Bell and Rogers.  Rogers owns Fido, just to let you know.  Anyways, check out Telus.

  SD. It's Telus. Monopoly. No one else. Welcome to Canada.

lol no worries Lise.

Only thing I don't like is CanWest owning both newspapers the only newspapers (minus the straight) in Vancouver. Nobody should have a monopoly on the news in one city that's undemocratic. You need different point of views of the world and to have both paper's with CanWest's views are not good.

Won ton noodles with fish balls ?  Umm....I didn't even know fish HAD balls.

  Lise, there were disposables when my kids were babes.....I just chose to use cloth. (mind you they were relatively newish.)  All 3 of my kids were out of diapers before a year old.....LOL  Those old flannels weigh a ton when wet.  As soon as they started wiggling out of them....I knew it was time....hahahahaha.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jul 25 07 06:25
Fish balls.  LOL.
 We were thoroughly sucked into the paper product system.  Diapers, Pullups, Good Nights...
 At least I stopped using disposable feminine products.  The Diva Cup is the greatest thing evar.  (hope that wasn't too much information...)
 
 The pizza was good.  Heckyl and Jeckyl said the crust could have been crispier.  So maybe I need to roll it thinner and bake it longer.  But everyone added their own pizza toppings, so no complaints about that!
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Awesome Lil Me....good for you !  You can add a half teaspoon extra of sugar to your dough to make it crispier....or brush it with milk before you bake.  It's such a nice easy thing to do, and lots of fun for the kids.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jul 25 07 06:34
Thanks for the tips, P.C.  There was no sugar in the dough (Canadian Living recipe)- just flour, yeast, salt, water and oil.

Hmmm...what a coincident.  Olsen on your side just did a little blurb on the news about disposable diapers, saying that 5 to 6 thousand diapers per baby has made them the largest contributor to our landfills.  They were showing some of the NEW cloth diapers.  Wow....have they come a long way.  All shaped just like a disposable.  No more folding.

Well I went to this mexican restaurant in Chester IL home of Popeye the sailor man and I went to my wallet to find that my debit card was missing. yeesh Must of left it at Applebees the night before. Called Applebees in Carbondale (college town) up and they said "Yeah we've got a couple debit/credit cards in the back. (a 'couple'? lol lol lol lol at least I'm not the only one. phew!) So I've got to pick up my debit card tomorrow. lol

I was worried the waitress that was hitting on me all night took it or something. Geesh its like the girls around here never seen males before. Carbondale is the fatest college town though that might have something to do with it. ;)

Greetings, Devil. I hope you have a nice time in Florida. Y'know, funny about the gun thingee... I think it's quite acceptable to have guns flashed everywhere there. When I was there, I was acutely aware of that. Gangters walking around, flashing gold and what-have-you-not and the fact that they made a presence, (hostile presence) was very foreign to me. Still... it was something to experience. Most people were nice but guarded.

  LOL about the diapers and landfill. I have enough to fill all the way to Mars and back, nevermind our landfill.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif) Yes, I can totally believe that. I did think about using those brand new cloth diapers (cost a pretty penny) but there's NO WAY in the world that I'm washing them, diaper-service or not. Disposable ones are a necessity in my life. If Olsen strongly advocates cloth diapers, he can do my babies anytime. I'm all for that.

  Sugar on pizza. Never thought of that. Interesting. I like homemade pizza. Really good stuff. You can control whatever you put on it. Glad to hear your pizza went well, Lil Me.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jul 26 07 03:54
If I remember, I'll bring my Easy Hiking book so I can show you. The place I'm thinking of... at least the hiking place is called Grey Rock in North Vancouver. Easy hike for adults, not so easy for the little ones.

  The instructions (from book) is as follows:

  1) Take Hwy 1 (Upper Levels Hwy) to the north end of the Second Narrows Bridge and take the 1st eastbound exit.

  2) Follow Dollarton Hwy to Deep Cove.

  3) At Panorama Dr, go left. Park on the right in the lot at Panorama Park.

  The trail is located between the houses, you'll have to search for it. There should be a sign there that should lead you up the trail. Keep walking upwards till you reach the top which is like a flat rock area.

  There are some lovely food stores by the cove. We ate sushi at one of those places. It was nice just to sit there and watch the world go by.

  Alternatively, (and this is a hike we really, really want to attempt one of these days) you can Widgeon Falls in East Vancouver. It does require more stamina and you'll also need to hire a canoe or kayak to access the trailhead. I think you can rent the canoes and kayak from June to September.

  This place rents canoe: [A href="http://www.aylacanoes.com/"]http://www.aylacanoes.com/[/A]

Have a good trip to Deep Cove, purelife.  A lot of people love the honey donuts from the shop there but I've never had them (allergic).
 
 What's new with everyone out there?
 
 I did something really stupid today.  It started with a tub of honey mistakenly stored on a tilt in the cupboard.  Needed to clean a layer of honey out of the cupboard.  While I had the bucket and Pine Sol out, I decided to clean the kitchen floor.  Bad idea.  I ended up spreading honey everywhere.  After an additional washing, the kitchen floor is still sticky, but I'm too tired and fed up to wash it again...

And I missed Devil....  Have an excellent trip Devil. :))

  Ouch PC... you'll need Mr Sawdust to gently massage that, or apply a soft warm cloth.  Stretching helps too (for a while)

  Morning Lil Me and PC and everyone else.

Quick hellow here. OMG. Totally beautiful day today. Nice day for some last minute shopping. Got ton of things to do today. Have to prepare for the outing tommorrow. Yay!!

  LOL at the honey story, Lil Me. I just remembered a patient of ours who actually cracked her front central tooth while she was cleaning her cupboard. A spray bottle fell on her gaping mouth and chipped her tooth.

 Ha! I told my wife when we first started living together that I would clean the toilets and the house. The problem is she wants them cleaned before I think they're dirty, so she ends up cleaning them.

 I figure a toilet could go 3 weeks before it needs cleaning.

Housecleaning done properly, can kill you.

  There is nothing worse than a sticky floor Lil Me.  Sprinkle some beef bouillon on it, and call the dogs.  Get them to bring all their dog friends.  Then all you have to do is wipe up the slobber.....much easier than honey.

  Mr Sawdust gave several massages last night.  I think I did something when nailing overhead....on a ladder......while holding a 12 foot piece of 2 x 10.....while dodging crap falling off the roof.....while praying I wouldn't fall.

  It IS a beauty day Lise

  Of course, not the prettiest thing you want to have on your plate before you digest. The head's not edible so you just grab hold of the middle part and crack open. Juicy.

  Speaking of those blue toilet flush thingee. Never works. I think they go less than the 2,000 or so flushes. Big rip-off. Still, there's something to be said about making your toilet water look blue instead of..... yeah....

  I use the blue toilet thingys. I like em. Cuts down on smells and you can tell when someone hasnt flushed as the whole toilet water is a different colour.

  Im with Schade on the vacuuming levels as well. My idea of when it needs to be vacuumed compared to Starfish's is alot different. When you see dirt knee high then I might get around to it.

Laundry has three stages of the smell test as long as they pass the initial visual inspection.

 Ahhhh green tea.  I'm on the wagon (self-imposed) and this is Day 5.  I think after another day, I'll be ready to jump off and test the waters again.  Summer is so brutal for too much eating and drinking.

 Hey Russ and CK!
 
 Trying to get myself out of a tizzy.  Jeckyl lost one of the bones from the Operation game on the carpet in his bedroom.  Why the heck would someone play Operation on the carpet???!  I ranted and raved and made him clean up until we found the missing bone.
 
 Now it's a niiiiice cup of tea to calm down.
 
 My in-laws are coming to stay on Monday (and Mr LM isn't home).  So I guess I should probably clean up a bit more and prepare for visitors.  I don't dislike my in-laws, but they drive me 'round the bend.  They have B.O.  And they're smalltown old people, which is totally fine, except that they come to the City and feel like they need to over-compensate for something, and they become the world's experts on freaking everything.  And they're so not.  But I'm tired of arguing with them.

Evening. How is all this fine day? We spent the day at the Greater Vancouver Zoo. Got a bit bored as we've been there not too long ago. Met up with a few buddies. Funny how they mentioned a few of the animals had to be separated because they're in heat. All the guys totally sympthatized. Poor sods.

  Just got home. Am preparing to finish dinner. Waiting for mother-in-law and her special kebab that's taking eons to make. But the wait will be worth it for those delicious balls.

  I have to bake a chocolate cake tonight for Lise Jr.'s b'day. I'm praying it'll come out ok..... oh well, at least Save-On Foods is close by for that just-in-case emergency.

  Cake's in the oven. I'm taking time down to relax. I gotta get up early next day and make the kebabs (it's a mixture of chicken and beef). I'm making beef satay with homemade satay sauce. Then I gotta peel cucumbers and red shallots to go with the beef. I'll be cranking up my GForeman like crazy come morning.

  Meh. That's my whole weekend. Busy bee. Bet you're looking forward to your trip..... [FONT size=1]take me with you.....[/FONT]

 Yeah, bomb threat was hokey.. But the guy running around the ship naked cause he tried to sink the ship from above the waterline in the can is awesome. Im jealous I missed that. LOL.

  HAve a good trip otherwise miss PC?

We were out in the boat tonight.. launched at Vanier park with a few of us and went wakeboarding and waterskiing again. A few boats slowed and people from shore were watching us.. no one else was out so the people watching probably though 'who are those idiots?'

Well we missed it too Russ.  This occurred on the boat that we were supposed to catch at 5:10....but it was delayed until 6:50.....but we still needed to be in the reservations lineup at 4:30.  So the total trip from Langley to home was 6 and a half hours instead of 3.  It took us the same length of time to get from where we were visiting just to get to the Port Mann, as it usually takes to get all the way to the terminal.  $167 round trip and the service is getting worse and worse......lol

  There was an incredible accident just up the hill from where you get off the ferry in Horseshoe Bay.  It was one of those ones where you scratch your head and say..."what the....?"  How he could have become airborn going UP that hill is beyond my imagination.  Traffic was in a major jam and they almost couldn't unload the ferry for there was no place to go.....and that was at least 3 1/2 hours after the accident.

  All in all, it was a great visit.....too short and too rushed, but good none the less.

 Good to hear it was a good visit! Thats the most important part.. we had a good time on the Isl as well.. but as you say, far far too short.

 Awe, you missed the flooding of the pride of BC Ferries fleet eh? I would have wanted to have been on there! Or at least heard first hand info. lol.

On the way back to Van, we did the run down to Victoria.. not for the View, or drive.. but to get a crack at the pacific buffet! it was 20 bucks each cause we caught the 7pm and it was dinner.. but they had salmon, coconut milk prawns, turkey they slice in front of you, clam infested rigatoni noodle sauce.. mmm. All you can eat.. So, the extra hour was worth it!

  Im amazed at that accident.. it was all over the news this weekend.

  Missed anything on the news (except the traffic station on the radio), about that accident.  This guy was up on the cement barrier and face first into the overpass support.  It's UP hill and a left curve....and yet he's over the barrier on the right ? ? ? ? ?

I HIGHLY recommend it. You pay a bit more for it.. but you get a good seat with somewhat of a view, newspaper, food and coffee the whole way. And alot less sheeple running everywhere bumping into you constantly or yelling at the person across the room the whole trip.

Sounds like something worth checking out.  I remember the days when they used to have a dining room on the ferrys.  REAL dining....with linen tableclothes and napkins and a fabulous menu.  It was lovely.  Now they're more like cattle boats with hospital food.

  Will definitely give that one a try.....sounds good.

 Sorry to hear about P.C.'s traffic and line-up woes.  Glad you got your hot pot.
 
 I too would like the guided tour of the Crystal Mall.  I don't actually speak the language, and all the merchants assume I do.  Lise- tour please?!

Hey Lil Me. I drink that green tea (from Costco) as well.  The organic ones, right?  They're delicious.  :)))

They're only about 14 bucks for a box of 60 teabags.  I don't know if they are really "organic" but they taste good.

Sometimes there are more important things than having a life. Part of becoming an adult is making those tough choices. Like, should I go for that promotion/watch my kid's softball game/cradle my wife as she mourns the loss of a relative, or should I f*ck around on DV/DS? I think the answer is clear.

  P.C.!!!   *hugs*

  I just had some noodles and also some chips on the side and a diet soda. For breakfast I had a scrummy apple. How about you??

  I will have to leave in a moment. I'm walking to the library with my buddy to return some long overdue items. The cool thing about using a military library is no late fees woohoo!!    =)      Because otherwise they would probably send me to Iraq to work off my debt and I'm allergic to physical exertion/pain/heat/shooting people in the face etc.

Afternoon people.

  I'm glad you had a good trip here, PC. Too bad about the hokey bomb threat. That's the last thing you want to have on your trip.

  I've never tried the buffet on the ferry. Over-priced and the food doesn't look all that great. I asked if I could look around and wasn't impressed by the selection.

  Lil Me. Yes. Of course, anytime you want a tour of Crystal Mall, lemme know. I know where you can hunt for all the good stuff.

  Wonderful b'day party. Kids had a blast. We ended up at our place instead of the park because it was raining on and off. Dang. A friend brought over some beef ribs. OMG. Best ever. So tired afterwards. Hubby said, "NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN INVITE MORE THAN 5 PEOPLE".


Yeah, as if that's going to happen...
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 30 07 12:15
lol! never invite more then 5 people. That still doesn't work I've found out, you invite 5 people and they in return invite 5 people to come as well. lol  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 30 07 12:22
OMG....sounds hectic Lise.  I always followed the guideline to invite the number of children of the child's age.  2 kids for a 2 year old....3 for a 3 year old etc.  It always worked well.

  Hubby and I both mentioned that it would have been great to have you give us the guided tour.  So much strange and wonderful looking things there.  (and a good deal of gross but interesting stuff)  Anything we couldn't recognize, we made up our own ideas for what it might be....often relating to various appendages of strange animals.  Who said ignorance is bliss.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jul 30 07 12:35
Hi SD and PC.

  Yeah, the thing with kids parties... not only you have to invite the kids but you gotta include the parents too so there's more mouths to feed. And with kids, you get mess galore. I've got juices on carpet and sticky floors. *sigh*

  Oh yes, ignorance is a bliss when it comes to Chinese cooking. Half the time I don't even want to know what what's hanging on the kitchen stall with eyes looking down at you. I'm sorta used to seeing it all so it doesn't really bother me unless it starts talking. That might be an interesting problem.

  What's for lunch today? I've got a bit of BBQ chicken that's waiting on the the countertop except I don't really feel like chicken. Ever get that "I'm tired of chicken feeling?" Well, it's one of those days.

The most efficient (though not necessarily the quickest) way to skin a cat is to first boil it.

I believe this to be true, since I read it on the Internet, but since I love cats I will have to take it on faith.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 30 07 02:15
 The kicker is that the vet is usually just a couple minutes away (in my case down the street) this was in suburban Dallas. The chase went on for an hour and a half at 80mph (130kph) no way does it take that long to get to the vet.

Religious purposes. Qui. It's true. In some cultures, they make the pets (usually male) go through the whole process. Doesn't make sense to me but I've heard about it. I guess it's a bit of religious zeal.  We don't do it for our little guy but we don't feed him any pork products either.

  That's illegal!! Im not talking to you for a while. You never ever ever have an 'knock off' cheerios'.

 Only real authentic General Mills Cheerios are allowed 'cause they are the only good ones to eat.

 

 Well, dinner was burrito's and we moved a crapload of stuff around to my new room upstairs and a bunch of stuff to Starfish's Garage. I went to Ukranian Tire to buy a fishing lisence for my upcoming week long fishing trip.. and I ended up with a lisence and 70 bucks in tools.

lol.. sorry SD I missed your reply yesterday. er wait Im not talking to you ;)

  Im not convinced of the whole organic thing. I think its overated.. but whatever sells I guess. I will probably get into the whole bandwagon if it becomes affordable though to be honest. Not a supporter per se.. but a person that will buy it.

  Grr... I might have to deal with my truck engine sooner than I thought... its running like a bag of nails and burning oil like theres no tomorrow. I think it ate a few piston rings or a whole slew of valve seals are hooped.

  So another day of cleaning and moving.. and a run to the dump I believe, in richmond of course cause the local dumps are, uh, inconvenienced currently.

There is only one Great Leader, and a slew of petty dictators who don't deserve a mention    &gt;:(

  My cubicle is nice, for a cubicle. I am parked near some big windows overlooking (8th floor) sandy, woody terrain that stretches for miles. I'm only a few miles from the ocean but the windows are pointed the wrong way so I can't see it. My cubicle walls are made of soft gray material and I've tacked up a bunch of papers and whatnot to them so it looks like I work here. I also have a big plastic box of someone else's files sitting on my desk so I will appear to be more busy than I am. Oh, and I've got a water cooler sitting by my desk so all the ladies have to come to ME when they get thirsty. Word to your mother    =)

  Have you ever worked out of a cube, Russell?

 Top of the morning to yer, Monkee and P.C.

  Come to think of it.... one cannot have FOUR walls otherwise you'd be boxed in for life. Hehe. Yeah, partial. Gotta remember that. That being said, I think I'd much prefer the privacy of the walls rather than staring at my co-worker across. Gotta be awkward.

  I hate the sound of the electic lights as you're working. Makes the hours seem unbearably long.

  Me, I ain't got that luxury. I work close contact with my boss. Kinda pain though. I'm essentially her extra set of hands but we're such in a tight environment that we eventually get on each other's nerves so it's best to step out every so often. And dentists don't make the best boss. They get stressed and then they take it out on you or patients. My boss isn't so bad but you do get the odd days.

  Yeah, that's what I want to know, too, PC. I've heard you can get it there but am not sure.....[/DIV]

  Yeah, Monkee. City of Vancouver is on strike. Garbage collection is on strike. There's no one to carry the night soil and the unmentionables. It's insane! It's criminal! I'm just holding on that Burnaby won't go on strike. So far, they haven't given us any notice. *fingers crossed*

  Anyways, Sports, I don't think that you would be working out of a cubicle as a PM.  Most of the time, you are out at the site with the blue prints.  A little cubicle wouldn't give you much space to view all those blueprints.  And these prints are mega heavy and mega gigantic!

Oh, and I also suggest that you find a job in the industry.  It's a tough thing to find that PM job when you don't have the connections and/or industry experience.  Companies like it that you have the education to back it up but it's not as important as actual experience.  Good luck.

Sportsdude,  planners rarely are involved in the construction phase of a project.  They're largely involved in the study, planning, environmental and permiting stages, and their involvement gradually decreases in the design phase.

  If you are interested in becoming a project manager, consider taking courses in project management, claim avoidance, construction law, change order negotiation, etc. and a workshop in project scheduling

 nope urban planners are like gods. Think Sim City.
I have a friend who's an architect and the urban planners tell him what to draw in layout terms.
Then if planners go to the people there the ones at town meetings saying "hey folks we would like to this and this, you like? vote."
[a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_planning"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_planning[/a]

[img style="width: 550px; height: 490px;" src="http://www.nyc.gov/html/om/gif/2005/flushing_commons.jpg"]

False Creek, Coal Harbour, Yaletown, Granville Island, West End are examples of mega urban planning. They decide where to put the buildings, interact with the environment and so on.

For small scale, your house, apartment, condo, place of work, highway, skytrain line was all thought up by an urban planner.

Yep, I think that you're going to be in for a shock to find out what "urban planning" really is about, SD.  I have to agree with 49er that you're pretty naive and gullable.  

I dunno, I still think that Urban Planner is a PM and an Architect in one.  Urban Planners need to understand all building codes, maintenance, structure, etc.  To me, Urban Planners are like Developers.  I know a few people who have majored from that UBC Urban Planning Geography course but end up becoming a PM.  Have you checked out any latest job openings and see what kind of qualifications they are asking and what your job description might look like?  That's what I would do to get a better sense at what you will need.

   Don't mean to dampen your spirits, but I've worked with developers, planners, environmental scientists, architects and engineers in my career.  You've glorified the role of the planner.  I suggest you drop by the local city hall and talk with the city planner and find out more information on a career in urban planning.

    ADD:  a  planner is normally a member of the project team.  The PM heads the project team.....he is the spokesman, not the planner

Not for a while!!! When I used to stay late at the computer lab during mid-terms and finals some thoughtful person would always put a costco sized jug of red licorice out for us and I became a little addicted. Scrummy    =)

  Black licorice always tasted like ass to me.

  How about you?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Aug 01 07 03:31
My co-worker got me addicted to the licorice all-sorts.  :)))  The black ones aren't my fav's either.   It tastes like chinese medicine...with that bitterness to it.

  Oh, I saw 300 movie last night.  Anyone else watched it?  AWESOME movie. :)))

I should have mentioned before, I like the long thin kind that is hollow in the middle.

Not sure if you have that in Canadia.

I don't mind the alsorts.....they're kinda too sweet sometimes.  Panda licorice used to be my fave, but hubby brought home a new one for me a couple weeks ago, and it was pure licorice heaven (if you like licorice)

Licorice ropes?

Just long strands of licorice candy maybe a foot long and as big around as a pencil?

And hollow in the middle so if you ever need to hide in a lake ninja-style you can stay under the water with only your licorice-flavored breathing tube breaking the surface.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Aug 01 07 03:48
What's the other brand that your hubby picked up besides Panda?  I'd like to try if I can find them here.  You are right about the allsorts.  They're too sweet...go figure when the first ingredient is sugar.  It was so sweet for me that I could only eat about 5 or so before I feel funny.

I've had some of the salty licorices, and they have no appeal to me at all.  I'm also not fond of the 'twizzler' type licorice either.  I like the kind that is almost leathery in texture, kink of like those licorice pipes you used to get as a kid. Mmmmm.

  Are you a licorice fan ?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Neat-o, Russ.  I'm going to look around for those licorice...the ones with the small holes, thin like a pencil and wriggly.... ;)

I think Granville Island would have them.  I'll check there first.

Evening everyone!  It was a busy day here.  We were comparison shopping for bikes.  Grandparents kindly bought Jeckyl a new bike ($50 at Zellers) because the poor younger kid never gets anything new.  
 
 I had been trying to teach Jeckyl to ride a bike on a seriously old one- wonky tire tubes, thrashed brakes, etc.  Adding up the cost of the parts, it was the same as a new kids' bike on sale.
 
 Leftover Greek salad for dindin.
 
 Meanwhile, I've been madly copying files to an external hard drive ($113 at Costco), deleting files and defragmenting so that I can install software for my new printer ($89 all-in-one at Costco).  Pain in the @$$.  But my printer had cratered, and the hard drive is cheaper than buying a new computer.

Evening Lil Me, SD and Russ.

That was really nice of your grandparents to get Jeckyl a new bike.  :)))

How come you have to backup your stuff before installing that printer?  Do you need make more available RAM?

I found out today that my brother and his g/f's baby pomeranian just died by accident.  I don't know much of the details but the head was hit really hard which caused internal bleeding and then it just died..

SD- glad to hear your friend is safe.
 
 pl- Hey!  I needed to backup the files so I could delete them off the computer harddrive (photos and such) and have enough space to install the printer drivers.  My computer is really old.  The $113 portable hard drive is 10X bigger than the computer hard drive!

Back to licorice... I used to LOVE the licorice allsorts as a kid.  I'd go through a bag on a long bus ride.  I especially liked the discs with crunchy licorice sprinkles on them (pink or blue).
 These days I don't enjoy candy as much as I used to.

 Glad you like it PC! &lt;muah hahaha&gt; The infection is spreading...

  I admit I got absolutely hooked on it when I was overseas in china.. one of my favourite things to eat over there. Safeway should be able to get the ingredients if you have one nearby you, they have the hotpot stock bases and stuff like that.

PC. If you head down to your local Chinatown there are lots of stuff that you can get for your hotpot. Just look in the frozen section to get dumplings. I know this because I was shopping around Chinatown when I was in Victoria. There are also tons of veggies you can buy there suitable for hotpot like bok choi or choi sum etc.

  Good morning people. Hope all is well with you. Hot last night.... couldn't sleep well last night even though we had the fan on on high.

  Robert Jordon book. I think it's the fourth one. I can't for the life of me remember the title. After the 1st three, my interest has started to wane. And I've got something like four or five books to go after.

  I got my HPotter book from Chapters online. I just had to spend an extra $20 to get the free shipping. Twas ok, at least I got some other books for the kids. It's $20.00 at Save-On Foods if you spend 5,000 points there.[/DIV]

Gosh. It's so funny. I'm so used to the pace of DS that when I cross over to DATW, it's such a difference.

  Sorry. I had to leave for a bit there, formula.

  Robert Jordon is a fantasy writer. He's been writing books for eons. Quite popular author. Dunno if you've seen his books but they're about the Wheel of Time.

  Is your book any good?

  I'm not sure what I'm going to do for lunch today. Maybe just go out and eat for a change. I hate cooking when it gets hot. Don't know why. Just low on energy. I think the heat just sucks the energy level from you.

no problems lise... yea, ds is slow sometimes, actually, quite often.  :(

  i'm in the first coupla of pages of my book and it's pretty interesting.  if you like "the day after tomorrow" "armageddon" etc, you'll like this book.  it's in the similiar nature.  his writing so far is excellent.  my man loves this author..his favorite and i like to keep an open-mind about books... cuz i don't read much

  it's too hot to cook.... i usualy make soups and stews but when i eat them, i just end up sweating... better in teh winter when you need these kinds of comfort food... in teh summer, i'm all about fruits and raw veggies... and eating out... *sigh*

  That's kinda the problem Lise.  There isn't a 'local' Chinatown near me.  I know Chinatown in Victoria is fabulous, but I'm lucky if I get to Victoria once in a year or two.  

I liked Russ' idea of partially freezing (or partially thawing) the meats to slice thinly....but I sure do like those little trays of pre rolled meats....LOL.  It sure makes for a quick and simple meal.  I think I could see myself spending a day, just making up all those trays (in combos) and freezing for the ready.

Hahahaaaa.  Mmmm, that looks delicious Lil Me.  Why didn't I think of that!

  I like the idea of things I can do ahead.  As much as I like to cook, I often lose interest on days when I'm involved in a project.  'Ready to go' stuff appeals to me sometimes.

  Hubby will spend the whole day making perogies and freezing them (best perogies in the WORLD)  I do the same for lasagnes, spaghetti sauce and pot pies.....so I think I'll add a day for hot pot meats.

[A href="http://www.pibc.bc.ca/classified/index.php?action=listings&amp;catid=24"]http://www.pibc.bc.ca/classified/index.php?action=listings&amp;catid=24[/A]

 Will you be signing up as a student member of not only the Planning Institute of British Columbia but also both the The Canadian Association of Planning Students and the American Planning Association?  Attend as many conferences as you can, and do all your assignments with the idea they could be used as conference poster sessions or presentations.  This is key if you are planning to go on and get a graduate degree.  The professors you meet at the conference will in the future decide whether to admit you to their program.

 Did you know the Urban Growth Management program you are enrolling in at Malaspina College is not accreditated or recognized by either the PAB or CIP at the undergraduate level.  That could affect whether you can get into UBC at the graduate level which makes attending conferences even more key.

those programs are mostly graduate programs. The Planning school at UBC says right on their main page: [font color="#000066" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]The School                accepts students from a wide variety of disciplines ranging from                planning, geography, and forestry, to business, political science,                and economics. Students come from all provinces and territories                in Canada and from many foreign countries. In recent years students                have come from Canada, Great Britain, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy,                Japan, Nigeria, Ghana, the Peoples' Republic of China, Saudi Arabia,                Switzerland, Thailand, and the United States.

   What does not going to those places have to do with becoming a student member of those urban planning associations?  

  Here's the application forms for students.  Do consider signing up.  If you are not convinced, then at least when you arrive at MC, during the first week talk to your instructors about the benefits of student membership in such associations.  I bet they will even be passing around application forms, and wouldn't it be cool if you could say I am already a member?

Char Koay Teow from the Curry Shop. Or at least that what I think the shop's called. It's the shop that famous for its Hainan Chicken Rice. Really good stuff.

  Hmm.... lemme see. I've got the recipe here somewhere on my website. I usually make this dish when I'm in the mood. They make it way better though.

Sounds delish Lise.

  So, when you go up the escalator, is it to the left or right?  So, the curry shop?  Is that the name of the little food place?  I wrote it down, so I might just visit Crystal Mall soon.  I haven't been there for some months now.  Gosh, I would love a tour from you but I'm a last minute gal who doesn't really plan these types of outings.  *sigh*

You go up the escalator and turn to your right. It's at the extreme right corner, sorta located in an L-Shape bend. It's my favorite place to eat. I usually get this dish or the Hainan Chicken Rice. Their chicken curry isn't too shabby either.

  Maybe one day we'll meet at the Crystal Mall. Would be nice just to lounge around and have bubble tea. Hmmm.... now I want one. Dang! I should have bought taro bubble tea when I was there just now.

I already knew that P.C. most accredited programs are the masters programs. So I'm guessing planning schools are the equivalent to med schools and law schools. That's just my guess though.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 02 07 04:40
UBC and McGill are the best places in Canada for urban planning apparently. And I came to the conclusion that 'planning school' is the same as 'law school' or med school. Because McGill and UBC only offer Masters and PHD classes.

I know. But I've never been a believer in just a fancy name on a diploma. I can transfer to UBC/SFU after 2 years if I wanted to just to have 'UBC or SFU' on a diploma. Lots of people do it. But then again I don't want to be refered as a number in class.

Plus schools accept Malaspina grads for grad school. I searched the international section a while back and I saw "now at Concordia, UBC, SFU' etc.

Grades trump prestige. And Malaspina is accredited so I'm fine.

Hi! I had to leave for a bit.

  I find the produce at Crystal Mall cheaper than the T&amp;T ones. They're also fresher and most are locally produced so you get good prices.

  T&amp;T is a mega Chinese supermarket chain found throughout the mainland. Sorta like Save-On Foods but Asian. The thing I like about T&amp;T is that you can sometimes get stuff you can't get at Crystal Mall. Y'know, like stuff from other countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Korea etc. etc. etc.

  I just wish the staff would speak some ENGLISH! Sheesh. If you're gonna work here, at least learn some English.

Uh hu. Typical.

Have you been following the Tillman case, where congress is trying to determine who engineered the coverup?

Rumsfeld testified, but all he had to say was "not me!"

Everyone basically pointed the finger at a retired 3 star general, and he told congress to go f*ck themselves; just refused to testify flat out.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 02 07 08:32
He was murdered. The bullets were closely together in the head (when accidental fire would have been bullets all over the place). Tillman had come out against the Iraq war and was supporting Kerry in the elections.


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: PostMonkee @(^_^)@ on Aug 02 07 08:42
I'm not 100% sure either way. I've heard that he had three 5.56 mm rounds enter his face and that the spread was consistent with a single 3 rnd burst from an American assault rifle (M16 or M4) at close range. I think they said like 10 meters or something. Soldiers on the scene burned evidence and then high ranking officers helped to cover up the incident.

  It seems POSSIBLE that it was a genuine accident and that soldiers simply reacted in a panic and tried to hide it. I'm leaning towards the fragging scenario though. If they were in dense jungle I could see accidentally firing through underbrush and tagging a friendly. A saw the military's own video walk-through of the site, however, and it's basically just rocks and some small boulders (barely even big enough to crouch down behind). They also killed a friendly Afghani soldier, but the outrage at his death has been understated to say the least.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: PostMonkee @(^_^)@ on Aug 02 07 08:47
And not to be a nit-picker, but the guy who shot Tillman must have been the best spec ops marksman in history. Firing a 3 round burst at 10 meters and placing all rounds in a head-sized target zone (taking into account muzzle-rise) in the heat of battle must be some sort of record.

  Like Oswald and his magic bolt action rifle maybe?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 02 07 08:50
well he was a ranger right? They've got to be pretty good. But it was from farther away they said. Every bullet was like an inch apart from one another. That's pretty close.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: PostMonkee @(^_^)@ on Aug 02 07 09:02
In the congressional hearing last night someone said 10 meters. This figure was from army medical examiners.

The original story had the main U.S. force firing on an unknown group from down in a gorge, but that story I think has evolved over time.

  Here's an interesting article which delves into it.

[A href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_bill_per_070730_was_pat_tillman_murd.htm"]http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_bill_per_070730_was_pat_tillman_murd.htm[/A]

  The contention voiced in this article is that there is no way you could fire a 3 round burst and have all round impact so close together. Not only is there muzzle drift to take into account, as the article states, once the first round impacts the target is going to spin and flail. So it's asserting that a single round killed Tillman, then after he was dead 2 more rounds were pumped into him to make sure.

Since you're so lazy here it is straight from imdb.

  A marksman (Wahlberg) living in exile is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the president. Ultimately double-crossed and framed for the attempt, he goes on the run to track the real killer and find out who exactly set him up, and why.[/DIV]
   The mark walhberg one is based roughly off of a book that I read years ago.. I remembered it when I watched the movie.

  But the shooter is just like that westley snipes movie.. I know this cause we rented them both at the same time and watched them back to back.. almost the same plot with similar ideas..

Morning all. I see from the past posts that SD is getting ready for his trip here. Have a good flight, SD. Here's hoping they won't check you for places that don't shine that often.

  BTW, toothpaste should be fine if you pack them into your luggage that's not as carry-on. I think.

  Lil Me. I'm so jealous you're going away. Utah! Wow. I've only seen pictures of it. Do take lotsa pictures and send them my way. How so so exciting.

  I wish that I took a vacation day today.  My guy has an extra day off for the long weekend and it would be nice to have a week day together.  :(

 Chocolate chip cookies. From my fuzzy memory, the recipe goes something like this:

  250g butter

2.5 cups plain flour

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

2 eggs

1.5 cups sugar

bag of chocolate chips

  It's ok. Seems simple enough but I think there's gotta be a better one out there. I might look around, find something with a bit less butter.

  Yeah, purelife. I think I've tried those Lipton thingy you're talking about. I tend to go for the one with lemon or lime flavor to the tea. Love those.[/DIV]

Hey LM.... they also have canned wild sockeye salmon in a package of 6 for really cheap too.  I think that it was 8 bucks.  

  Have you ever tried mixing canned peaches n cream corn with salmon?  I did this once for a wrap and it was yummy.  I bet that it would taste scrumptious on rice cakes, which reminds me, I should pick some up.

I've been to Germany. Munich. Qui. That's the name. It was raining like you wouldn't believe it when I was there. We missed out on the Oktoberfest but you could go visit the bars there. Rows and rows of tables in a dingy room with the smell of beer (and something else).

  I love the churches though. Can't believe how beautiful and grand they were. We climbed up the stairs of this church (don't know the name) and I almost collapsed from exhaustion there. Lots of cute German blokes. *sigh --- good times*

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 03 07 09:51
fishing: the fish can take the bait or not and if I catch it I can always put it back into the water.
hunting: their is no bait, you just look for signs, get up into a tree and when something walks by you shoot it. It doesn't see you, there is no bait and it dies. No catch and release in hunting.

Here's me fishing: I catch the fish, take a picture of the big fish, and then puts it back.

  I hear ya on the cars and Nanaimo. Public transit there isn't exactly..... well, let's just say it's really tough if you don't own a car. Actually, come to think of it. It's tough if you don't own a car. Period. I wish public transit was as reliable as the ones in Japan (so I've heard).

  You guys got me on this veggie thingy ever since the thread on burgers. I'm going to try veggie tofu hot dogs. My hubby thinks it's all a trap. Tofu and hot dogs surely don't go together but I'm going to try for it. Ever since reading about parts of animals to go into hot dogs, I've been turned off but with tofu dogs, you can't go wrong.

So, what's stopping you? Go and try a Korean dish. Ask for bimbibap (or however you spell it). Really good stuff. Hmm.... I'm getting hungry already.

I'll try to find a place. I think the only korean place in the area is up near church but I don't go up their often anymore.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 04 07 03:09
There's two korean places. One is a mix of chinese and korean. So its not really Korean. Then the other is completely Korean. I'll go there.

Great sunny day today.  Heckyl and Jeckyl wanna go for another bike ride, now that they're both riding on two wheelers.
 
 What's for dinner?  Gonna BBQ some steaks from the freezer, frozen veg, rice mix from a package.  Feeling summertime lazy!

Good evening everyone!

  Hm. You're on her Facebook, SD? I've never had the nerve to go onto Facebook. I dunno. I guess part of me don't want to get involve in any more addiction.

  Wow. This place is getting slower. Where's everyone?

  We went to Stanley Park today. Such a lovely day. Nice and sunny with a cool breeze from the water. I thought I would treat us all for ice cream... only the sundaes were like $2.50 or so and the Hagen Daaz ice crem bar was nearly $5.00. Highway robbery!!!

  CUPE workers still in strike but surprisingly the park was clean. No spillage of garbage from cans. The grass needs some mowing but that's about it. Children's railway and the petting zoo were closed so that was a big bummer.

Its a celebration for a new born and is held about a month after birth.  For the Chinese the baby is considered  a year old at birth so I guess its considered the first birthday.  Its customary to serve red eggs and ginger on this ocasion

 Hey P.C.!  Hey 49er!
 
 They just call them "baby banquets" here.  Didja bring your red envelopes?  (I can never figure out which red envelopes to use- I'm sure I'm handing out envelopes that say "Happy New Year" for every occasion...)
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: 49er on Aug 05 07 10:27
Hi Lil Me,

The trick is to get generic red envelopes.  I think my wife bought a supply of red envelopes from Hong Kong with our last name stamped on it.........we use these for all ocasions.

  (pardon my ignorance)  Cool....Red Egg and Ginger.....I assume there is some significance in this ?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: 49er on Aug 05 07 11:14
I think it all came about because its an old chinese custom to serve ginger, pigs feet and egg cooked together in vinegar to visitors after a birth.  Red egg (hard boiled, shell deeped in red dye)........I think the chinese make everthing red for all happy ocasions (white for death)

  ADD...the new mother is given the cooked ginger and vinegar the first month after giving birth, to help her recover.  Recently western researchers reported there is truth in this belief

SD, P.C., lurkers, I can't stay.

Shouldn't stay.

Even though, on a Monday like this it's what I would so love to do.

But they will fire me, and then I will have no more shiny toys, or Internets, and I will have to sell my Zoom Zoom and ride a bicycle again.

I would have to clean windshields with my bodily fluids, for a few pennies. After a month I would have enough to plop down in a Net cafe and visit DS again, just to remember the good times. Then they would find me dead in a gutter, an empy bottle of jack in my claw and my liver shrunken up like a half-chewed wad of beef jerky    =(

  So happy monday.

     Hi 49er!

  That's interesting. I don't think we did this last year. I did give a baby introduction to friends but we never held a Chinese banquet. I certainly did not remember getting any eggs or ginger. My mom wants me to boil an egg each year for the kids b'day and dye it red but I dunno... never done it.

LOL. It's past my lunchtime, Lazy.

  Yeah, white means 'death' in Chinese culture so I would avoid giving anything white to a Chinese person for his/her b'day or any special event.

  We went to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix despite my reservations about the film. Well, after all that review by purelife, I went in knowing the movie would sucked and yeah, it did. Twas the worst of all the Potter movies. I think the book was much more exciting. They could have drawn on the character development there. Oh well. I guess you can't fit everything from the book into the movie.

  I had a McGrill Chicken Wrap. Unbelievable but I think I may have found something I can stomach from McD afterall.

  So glad to hear you had a good time.  What's the next step?  Will you be going back?  I sure missed you here.  As you can probably see, it's been pretty slow here.

  We've finally been getting some summer.....although having said that, it's a little dull this morning.  I expect the sun to break through soon.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Aug 07 07 09:26
Good morning.

  Yep, that's Buntzen, SD.  You always seem to be so keen in googling places we've mentioned.

  Have you been up to Buntzen, Lise?  If not, you should check it out.  Be sure to be there before 10:30am before the parking gates closes.  You don't want to park at the bottom of the Lake and have to walk there.  It's a long walk (45min-1hr) especially with lil kiddies and food.  We had to walk up there with all our stuff.  Thank goodness our friend up there gave us a ride back to the bottom.  There's a lake where you could freely swim in .  It's absolutely beautiful, Lise.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Aug 07 07 10:26
Devil! Nice to hear from you. I hope you had a good trip down south. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

  Thanks for the tip, purelife. I'll be sure to get there before 10.30am. Sounds like a beautiful area. Er.... think I'll skip swimming in the lake. I'm not too keen to share my body with wee cute little creatures there. We might go there when the kids are able to walk for more than 1/2 hour without complaining.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Aug 07 07 10:56
Good idea Lise.  

  Oh, we also went to the Zoo the other day and found it not too impressive.  Did your kids enjoy it?  All that we looked forward to were the giraffes.  Other than that, we did feed the goats.  (at least, I think they were goats)

  Oh, I also saw Bourne Ultimatum.  It was damn AWESOME!  I LOVED it!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I've lost track of how many times we've been to the zoo. It's not very impressive. I agree. I feel totally sad for the animals. The GVZoo have failed to live up to the international standards set by zoos all around the world so you can bet the enclosures are pitiful.

  I've heard good things about Bourne Ultimatum. I've posted this topic on DATW and everyone seems to agree that it's really good. Can't wait to see.

  Transformers? Awesome movie, SD. You should totally watch it on the big screen. The chick in the movie is really cute. The guy... OMG. Can't they choose someone hotter??  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

  I would totally watch Transformers again and again, that's why we'll buy the DVD as soon as it comes out!  WALMART BABY!  It's gonna be cheap on first DVD sale day! :)))

I'm going to buy the Transformers movie when it comes out, that's for sure. I'll keep an eye out when it hits Zellers for $20.00 or so. Something tells me there's going to be a sequel in the near future.

  Shia LaBeouf will star in the next Indiana Jones. I can't wait to watch that movie although I must say, I'm not sure if I really want to watch Harison Ford crack his whip this time round. He was so hot back then....

  [img height=247 src="http://i19.tinypic.com/67z0kxs.jpg" width=191]

  That's the guy from Transformers. Don't ask me why his name is Shia though. It's a girly girl name if you ask me.

  And he will play Indy's son not his younger self so I bet there's going to be a next generation of Indy Jones.

Shia looks pretty good in that pic.  He kinda reminds me of the main character of that 70's show and who also played the villain in Spidey3.  I think he's name is Topher Grace...

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Aug 07 07 08:01
ooo ooo...PC's online.. gotta ask you a question.

my lasagna started to overflow (cheese melted over the dish thingee) and then i placed aluminum foil underneath to protect from spillage. Then, it started to burn!  i have the oven at 350, so turned it down for a bit, but now it seems fine.  i don't know why it started to burn or something.  perhpas it was the burning from the stuff on the bottom?  is it supposed to do this, pc?

hey SD... it took about 1.5 hours to just prepare (and wait for) this lasagna and get it ready for the oven..  

the packaged lasagna is cheaper than homemade though...
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Can't choke down a store bought lasagne.

  Yeah purelife....that's pretty normal.  I find lasagne dishes to be not deep enough.  I finally went out and bought a deep-dish lasagne pan.  You can make a foil 'fence' around the top.  Fold foil into 3 lengthwise and place inside around the top so it sticks up about 2 inches.  This usually stops the spill over.  

  *I bet it's smelling yummy at your house !!!!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 07 07 08:19
yeah probably. Once you usually make things home made you don't want store bought.

I think that's true.  I feel shame....I've become a lasagne snob.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Thanks PC... that's a great tip!  I'll do that for my next lasagna.  And it turned out yummy!  My man is having seconds!  And his portions aren't small...  hee hee..

Do you make your own calzone bread part?  What's in it?  

Enjoy your dinner.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Aug 07 07 08:51
Usually I do if I'm making an authentic calzone.  But when I'm winging it with leftovers etc, I'll use puff pastry.  A little rich, but yummy none the less.  Tonights had chicken, red green and yellow peppers, garlic and mushrooms and some herbs out of the garden, grated carrot and a little white wine sauce to hold it all together.  Twas delish.

  I knew your lasagne would turn out well. My mouth is watering just thinking of it.  Mmmmmmmmmm  You realize you've spoiled your man now....HE won't want anything but homemade now....LOL

  Hard to imagine that was Topher Grace (what kinda name is that anyways???) from The 70s Show. He had a bod to kill. Wowee.

  No, we're probably not gonna watch Beowulf when it comes out in theatres. Might wait for the DVD instead. Anything anime we're waiting till it gets to DVD. The last anime I watched on the big screen was Final Fantasy and that was baaaad. Ever since I've been turned off going to watch anime at the movie theatres.

  Just finished watching 300 FINALLY. Oh man. I love men with great bodies and itty bitty spandex loincloths. *pant pant pant*

  Lasagne overflow? I haven't done lasagne in ages. I dunno why. Maybe I should make some this week or so. Everyone loves lasagne. I usually don't concentrate the cheese around the edges, kinda just concentrate everything in the middle and leave a bit of spacing around the edges. Mine doesn't bubble over the edges but I always play it safe and put a pan underneath for just in case.

Going good Miss Lise.  Speaking of yummy...I was perusing your website yesterday looking for some different ideas.  There are way too many excellent choices.  Great site.

  We found the burner that came with the hot pot at our local hardware store.  FOURTY NINE BUCKS !!!!  WITHOUT THE POT !!!!

  Maybe you could try some of the turkey or chicken sausage.  They are very good.

  Pho? I know the feeling, SD. Nobody but me and my kids would eat it. Hubby wouldn't go near it. Says it's too.... 'foreign'. Go figure.

  What's your favorite pho? I like the one with chicken pieces. I usually go for the beef but with the kids, I can't risk raw beef (even though I know it's cooked in the soup). I love the soup with different parts of cows too. Hehe. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Calzone dough is pretty much the same as pizza dough.  But you can use the frozen bread dough if you you don't want the fuss (although it's really easy)

  A cup of lukewarm water

2 and a half teaspoons yeast

A teaspoon of salt

Half teaspoon of sugar

3 cups of flour

One Tablespoon of olive oil. [SPAN class=pf]In a bowl, combine the water, yeast, salt and sugar, and stir to dissolve. Set aside for 15 minutes, then add the flour, and mix until smooth. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, and knead for 10 minutes, adding more flour if necessary. The dough should feel smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a bowl, and place dough inside. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Quarter the dough, and shape each piece into a ball. Cover, and let rise another 15 minutes. Makes enough dough for 4 calzones. BIG calzones.  You can fill them with whatever you like....veggie calzones....anything.[/SPAN]

Thanks for that recipe, PC.  When you make the dough, do you create this oval looking shape and then stuff it on one side then fold over?  Do you brush the top with olive oil, poke the top a bit and then bake?  How long does it usually bake for?  30 min?  I definitely want to make that.

Yeah I took a huge nap, went to sleep on the couch in the basement at 6 woke up at 10. I swore I'd never sleep on that couch again. oh well. Its nice and cool down there so I can use a blanket to sleep. Can't do that up in my room way too hot.

  Overall, the realestate prices in most of the areas is about one tenth of what it is here.

  Here is the cheapest home listed in Nanaimo.......$33,000......and that's not counting the land that it's on.....which you would be paying $322 a month for.  (A mobile home.)

Hey Michel (changing the subject a little....lol)......out of curiosity.......

  As a French Canadian, what would it mean to you, if product packaging in Canada were printed in only one language. English.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Michel on Aug 10 07 08:11
It would means that this country is not our country. When you think that a translated word cost around 14 to 25 cents and that there's maybe 1000 words at the most on any package (printed millions of time), and that this little invesment and mark of respect allowed the producer to have access to 7 millions consumers in Québec, and around maybe another 400 millions worldwide, then if this producer don't even do that, there's a problem here. There's even more a problem when you see in USA stuff printed in English and Spanish, which is not an official language in USA. And you see also stuff in English, Spanish and French.

Whwn I see PUSH  EMPUJE on a door in Wyoming or Dakota, but only PUSH on a door at less than 5 km from the border of Québec, in he national capital of my country, well I feel there's something wrong in this country. And a few ecade ag, such anmalities could even bee seen in Montréal, which is still the second largest French speaking town in he world...

So what it would means to me ? That I have no country.

I must say by the way thtYukon is amazing an d an example for the res of this country. All public signs are bilingual there, English and French. Even instructions in campgrounds.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Aug 10 07 08:20
Interesting.

  It's one of my peeves....but of course I'm only looking at it from one side.

  It costs businesses, and consumers 2 billion dollars a year.  There is only a 1.4 % french speaking population in B.C.  Aside from the cost.....it MAKES ME CRAZY that I need to get out a high powered microscope to read the instructions on everything.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 10 07 08:22
I believe its that way because its a territory. I may be wrong, also I read somewhere that the whole terroritories had battles about what to be french or english that they just decided on both.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 10 07 08:26
is that above or below the mandrin? ;)

Same could be said though in Quebec with its view of the english language.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Aug 10 07 08:31
Well what's really weird SD...is that people have been fined for posting English signs in Quebec. Kind of a double standard.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Michel on Aug 10 07 08:40
Fine for unilingual English signs in Québec are just a backlash. The Parti Québécois imposed a law that forced people in Québec (of both lnguages by the way) to act as the rest of the country, which means ignoring the language of the minority...  

Another way to exacerbing more one culture against the other...

Cost is nothing when you think about the market you get access too. If you go to Europe, you'll see 4 languages on any product most of the time (English, French German and the one from the country you're in. It's quite common now with globalisation to have more than one language on any product.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 10 07 08:49
  Rue St. Catherines Street says it all thanks to bill 101.
talk about confusing.
The tongue police job is hysterical. Going around saying this place isn't french enough. Even France isn't this tough on the french language because nobody in Europe went up in arms when the EU mandated that all road signs be in english. Because the non english speaking countries know that the Swedes will still speak Swedish, the French, French and Germans, German.

I've heard the arguement that well if bill 101 wasn't in place then nobody would be speaking french anymore. Not true. One of the reason's I love Canada is that its a mosaic and not a melting pot. I think its awesome that mandrin is everywhere in Vancouver and French back east. Then again I'm all about culture.

Saying that Quebec will cease to not be french is crazy. Look at Louisiana. The acadian population still speaks french at home. When Katrina happened one of the tv stations was interviewing a guy from the bayou named Pierre.
If the small Acadian population can still keep its language and culture going in a country that's anti anything that isn't english (german midwest countryside disappeared after world war I) then Quebec in a culture friendly country can keep its culture alive.

Good morning all. Wow. What a busy morning.

  I'm with you on the houses in the USA. I can't believe the prices of some of them. Do you watch any of the home renos on HGTV? For the price of the house we're paying right now, we could have had a mansion in the states. Well, apart from New York which is crazy.

  I have to bake a cake today for my hubby's b'day. We're going out to celebrate his b'day so he's requested a mint chocolate cake with frosting. Did I tell you I love baking? Yup. I just made another batch of chocolate chip cookies last night and 1/2 is gone already. Man, our family eats cakes like there's no tommorrow.

  Now if I can only get them to eat my other dishes that are not sweet.......

  Oh er.... SD, please for the love of all things beautiful, don't say 'safe sex'..........(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

sorry for the delay, I just took the skytrain to come here, and for info on my way I heard 6 tourists speaking French (a group of 3 and a couple with a kid).

   Well, politics aside....and no disrespect intended....I find it to be extremely frustrating.  

    [FONT face=Arial color=#666699]French Mother Tongue Population[/FONT]: [FONT face=Arial]63 625[/FONT]
[FONT face=Arial color=#666699]Population with a knowledge of both official languages[/FONT]: [FONT face=Arial]269 363[/FONT]


That's about the figures I saw. Frustrating or not, English Canadians always repeat that this is our country too. Well love this country or just break it. For my own, I refused to fight against any culture or language, be it fakingly official on paper or not. If English Canadians say that French Canadians are Canadians too, then they must respect the language of the minority. Otherwise they must let Québec, Acadians and other francophones leave if they expresse that wish. That's what the vast majority of the population thinks back East.

  It's very well known for historical reasons (British supremacy has been replaced by US supremacy) that the English speaker is the laziest  language learner in the world, despite that he's among the most exposed to other languages. More than any culture in the world, English Canada is at the forehead of this phenomenon. And since French Canadians have been geographically, culturally, historically and politically submitted to these 2 influences (US and Brit) more than any other people in the world, you could hardly imagine that there wont be frustrations on both sides.

  On another note miss PC, and more interesting, I put a link of the bear in the couguar thread, wonder if you saw it?

Beautiful rainy day here. This cooler weather is so fresh.

I'm just going to try to survive the weekend. This is our 7th day of temperatures above 38 regionally and 40C in my backyard with 44C heat index. Its suppose to be 40C all this weekend which means 41ish in my backyard most likely. God knows what the heat index is suppose to be.

For you farenheit folks thats 100 plus 7 days in a row at 110F heat index and this weekend its going to be 102 every day until Monday which means 105 in my backyard (always hotter out here for some reason) and 110+ heat index.

City officials in the city are going door to door getting people out of their homes if they don't have a/c.

Just got back from the party. Dang. Like we really didn't have to be there. I'm not sure but I get the feeling that the host (hubby) was a bit cold towards us. I guess when you don't see each other for a long time, you have nothing whatsoever in common. Didn't know anyone there so we hid ourselves in one of the rooms.

  The hostess was lovely. Actually came out and talked to us for a bit. Compared notes. Her little guy is already walking and running about. I guess boys developed faster.

  Didn't have to say our cat vomited or was on fire. I just pinched Lise Jr. Jr. so that she'd howl her little heart out and we had to leave... hehe. Nah. I'm just kidding. We left after an hour or so. Just as we left, we got invited to their daughter's b'day in October. Man. We must have been so popular and not known it.

  Speaking of autobahn. Aren't the Germans the craziest drivers in the world? I swear they're up there with the Italians. Speed? They don't know the meaning of speeds. Crazy drivers.

The Italians are in a world of their own. They're pretty aggressive drivers, if you drive slow, man... they'll honk the jeebus out of you. Still, they are very passionate people and I kinda like that.

  Speaking of other fanatic drivers, I remember our tour bus taking the roundabout route at the Arch of Triumph in France. I don't get the French system of driving around that area. There just doesn't seem to be any rules to the place. If you want a heart attack, rent a car and drive there. They weren't joking when they said the French are insane. Hehe.

My counselor from Scotland was hitchiking through Europe in the 70's. They got to Spain. It was hot out, they didn't have any food. All of a sudden the entered a city and the blvd's were lined with oranges. Yes oranges. so just like any person they picked a couple and started eating. lol
The police arrested them for eating the 'town's pride'.

Also when he was on a catholic church trip through spain his bus got pulled over by the french police. They weren't speeding or anything but since it was a 'tourist' bus the police wouldn't let the bus through unless everyone, (including kids) had taste the town's pride and joy, its wine.

 I don't know.....I just got the invite in the mail.  It was fun.  You just register and sign a release that you not gonna sue them if you crash, when you get there.  They issue you a magnetic card which you use to sign up a time to test each car.  And the goumet lunch was good.......everything was done to reflect luxury

Summer? What summer?

  Still, y'know... come to think of it, we're luckier than those living in some part of the states where the temperature is in the 3 digits.

  Hey, does anyone know what to do if you suspect a car's been abandoned? We have this car that's been sitting in front of our house for like 4 days already. No one has come near it and I have a sneaky feeling it's been abandoned. My hubby said to wait a week and see what happens. Do you call the cops if no one claimed it?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Michel on Aug 13 07 09:52
Maybe it's somebody on vacations.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Morning everyone.

  I would give it another week or so Lise.  I think that Michel's speculation sounds about right.  When my grandma goes on vacation, she would leave her car at her friend's neighborhood for safe watching and keeping.  Maybe these people left their car with one of your neighbors for safe parking?  Does the car look rugged?  Does it look like a family vehicle?

  I heard that we're going to have warm weather this week.  Let's keep our fingers crossed.  I'd like to continue wearing my sandals.  

  Tonight, we're heading out for a friend's bday dinner and then having cake at his parent's.  It should be nice. :)))
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Aug 13 07 10:01
Yeah, Michel. That's exactly what my hubby said but I'm gonna wait a few more days. If no one claims it, I'm off to the cops.

  I hate cars being parked in front of our house for no reason. The last time we had this problem was when we were living in our flats and someone actually dumped a body into the trunk. I kid you not. That was really disgusting. We could smell something bad as we walked down the street but no one really thought about it until it was discovered. Gross.

  So you can see why I'm a bit anxious about the car.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Aug 13 07 10:02
Heya purelife.

  Well, the car looks ok. Not in the best of shape but not shabby either. Clean interior. I dunno. I guess you're probably right. I'll give it one week.

  Hey, how was your BBQ?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Michel on Aug 13 07 10:06
 Speaking of autobahn. Aren't the Germans the craziest drivers in the world? I swear they're up there with the Italians. Speed? They don't know the meaning of speeds. Crazy drivers.



No speed limits in Germany, and not necessarily more accident than here. The problen is when they get out of their country where everybosy is slower or have not so good roads. I've counted 13 yugoslav cars crunched just like a bag of chips in one day once I was in that now defunct country at the same time that the germans tourists speed trough it to reach the beaches of Greece as fast as possible. Very dangerous attitude.

  Also, quite weird to be passed by small RV on a dirt road like the Dempster highway. I could bet that these drivers were German. They never heard about a bear or a moose appearing suddenly in front of their windshield... At 200 $ a day for renting those camper (on average), I could understand that they maybe want to speed also... lol

  German tourists, please slow down.

Hey Lise.

  BBQ was really fun.  We were at my mom-in-law's.  We were actually celebrating a belated bday of mom's husband's son who turned 19 last week.  We had steaks, caesar salad, potato salad, veggie dips and a black forest bday cake.  YUMMY!  I love getting together with family (and friends).    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Aug 13 07 10:15
I'm glad you had fun at your BBQ, purelife. Hmm.... maybe it's time for my family to have one before the summer (or lack of) is over.

  Michel. Funny picture you've painted of German tourists slamming their brakes into a moose or bear. Speaking of which, we almost ran into a stupid deer on the way to Tofino. We were on a highway (where speed is necessary) and this brown legged thing ran in front of us. Luckily there were no cars on the highway and we could slow down enough for it to cross.

  But boy, that was scary.

  Yeah, body in the trunk. We had cops swarming over the crime scene. Even had a cop calling on us and asking if we saw anything suspicious. Turns out (from what I remember) it was the body of a butcher or baker, possibly he owe debt to the local gangster or whatever. Ugh. Everytime I pass by that street, I remember the stench. Now I can safely say I've smelt a dead body before.

     Ahahaha. Yeah. That would be it. Nah. They just questioned everyone within the vicinity about suspicious activities. Not that I can offer much. I always thought it was a good neighborhood, nothing much happening there.

  I can't imagine looking at a dead body though. The thought is just too scary. *shudder* My boss who's a dentist had to look at a severed head and performed surgery on it. Ugh. She had to peel back the skin and muscles and everything. Gross.

  What about you guys? Ever seen a dead body before? (boy, this is a morbid conversation)

Lise....I would call the cops and ask them if they think it requires attention....and let them decide.  Who knows....they may have someone who's called in their car stolen.  I think in light of past experiences, I would let them decide if it's important or not.  

  I mean....they may end up telling to call back if it's still there in a week.....but if it's currently 'involved' in something....they might want to know.

most municipalities here in California consider car abandoned if has not moved in 72 hours.  Police will place large bright color warning sticker on windshield when notified.  Car has to moved at least 700 feet from original spot within 72 hours after sticker placed.  A city contracted towing service will gladly tow the car if not and make money on towing and storage charges.

We've done this before, 2 years ago we celebrated christmas in late january because of conflicting schedules. Its nothing about love its just my birthday has been postponed. Its rather odd. Since the postponedment my mom and sis haven't done anything or said anything about 'happy birthday'. etc.

Equivalent would be delaying a wedding on the wedding day, then when you have the wedding its sort of moot and nobody shows up because they couldn't make it.

Do you feel like it's "you" that they don't like talking to?  I'm generally a happy go-lucky kinda gal who jokes with company but these people, didn't even want to include me in conversations or explain to me what they were talking about, no matter what effort I put into it.  Oh well....

Dinner wasn't too shabby.  I've had better. ;)

OMG, 11PM!  I gotta head for bed soon.  Have a pleasant evening and sweet dreamz PC and SD.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 13 07 11:08
easily!
I'm the same way with company pl, at first it takes me a while for me to warm up to people and then once I feel comfortable I talk a lot and a lot and a lot and a lot until I go hoarse in most cases.
But when I'm with my cousin down in the 'country' and run into his friends gf's for example. I get the feeling they think I'm some city boy and they look down on me. Its like the ultimate 'cold' vibe/shoulder.
They give the look like "and who are you?" *snort*
"oh YOUR his cousin, I see."

its like that the whole night. Or if the conversation turns to me they try to humilate me in some way through jokes that don't make a lick of sense.

I tell my cousin that if people like that show up at one of his parties I'm going to the truck or walking home. In the end though you feel like you did something wrong, that they didn't like you etc.

Almost bullyish.

Gooood Morning Lunchers!

Beautiful Tuesday here!

Not too hot or too cool!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Aug 14 07 07:37
OK, I made up my mind on the weekend about South Florida. I am staying put. I found myself just loving the cooler air and mountains way too much. I never realized, Miami is one of the flattest places I have ever been?!!  Calgary is far enough away, but an hour drive and I am in Rocky Mountain Peaks! Day to day living, I don't want +32 all year either. I love cooler nights too!

  But, the really good news is, I am still going to help our division there get started and try to help build a strong workforce. So that means, a lot of trips there throughout the year. I will appreciate it come January.

  Anyways, just thought I would give a little 'Devil' update.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Thanks sports!

yes, I have yet to get bored with the mountains. The tempterature cooled down here, and it is so fresh. I love it. I guess I am too Canadian?? I think you appreciate the beaches and warm more too when you go to them only a few times a year maybe? who knows, every person is different.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 14 07 09:45
well to me beaches have never been 'cool' or 'awesome'. Its only walkable during the morning and evening. Inbetween its too hot. And nobody goes in the water. So you sit around and be a couch potatoe. To me that's not 'fun'. That's boring.
Plus all the beaches are commercialized down there. So its just sand and hotels. All the beaches I've been to north of the sun belt are parks. They've got bike paths and trees, rocks, and scenery. Florida beaches and sun belt beaches are stupid. Sand and hotels.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Devil on Aug 14 07 10:07
LOL! aren't you a ray of sunshine today! kidding.

I have fun on the beaches. Especially when I was in Cuba. When you live in a cool, dreary environment for most of the year, a few days of R&amp;R on a lazy beach is what the doctor ordered. But, yes, I could see it become boring after awhile for sure.

When I go on holidays, I always do a lot of daily excursions too.

  Some people think mountains are boring too. Not I.

Hiya Devil and SD.

  Speaking of beaches, I went to Buntzen Lake, Devil, for my first time the other weekend.  OMG, it was absolutely beautiful.  It's nothing compared to the beaches down in the Lower Mainland.  I loved swimming in it.

Lake Okeechobee is a toxic sludge pile too. That is the primary source of drinking water for most of the south. That kind of freaked me out there.

There are environmental challenges that are off the radar in Florida. I guess that is why my work is going to be so busy there.

What do you mean "since when?!"  I don't know if there's a sauna in the men's room because I've never been in there nor have I wondered but there is one in the women's change room.  

  No men are allowed in the women's change rooms.  The door is locked after 4pm where you need a pass card to enter.  During the day, it's open.

Heya purelife.

  Hehe. It's not just that. It's also the fact I share my food with the two wee ones so I basically half whatever portion I have. But dang, halving your portions is really good if you want to go on a diet. My stomach's trained so I'm not hungry all the time.

  Heck, I think those all-you-can-eat-buffet will probably make money outta me.

He's a tough cat. fought a bunch of my cousins boxers who ripped a whole in his stomach. And then had to indure staples and stitches for 3 months and couldn't leave a cage because they would rupture. He's a farm cat living in the city. Heat's no problem for him. lol

Plans for the weekend? I am off to the Chuck for a wedding. I got my boy a cool outfit last night, and myself some new clothes too...I hate shopping! But it is done! Also, Devil has a cute date too for the wedding! Woohoo!

  It is a cousin's wedding, so it will be cool to see a lot of family I haven't seen in awhile.

  Then, my bro and I have a movie date to see Superdog (his choice of movie).

  So Russ, please post some pics of your fish.  You gonna make us guess which part is the head and which part is the tail?  Kinda like your thread where you took pics around the house and made us guess the item. ;)

  Did it get windy all of a sudden?  

  Got a question for anyone who may know.  Could a walk-in clinic doctor write you a note to see a massage therapist or does it have to be your family GP?  Do they charge?  I'd thought I'd ask before I give one of them a call.

Morning cute people!

  IKEA! Who's gonna go to IKEA! I luv that place. I need to get a dresser on account my stupid drawer fell off the other day. Ah well. At least it lasted 8 years. Meh. Time to update my dresser anyways.

  No plans for this weekend. Possibly just work on the garden shed. Anyone know how to stop dampness from getting in?

  Still no sign of the cops or anyone removing the car! Wow. I called on Tuesday and there's nobody. Goes to show you where our efficient cops are. Geez. Just yesterday we were driving straight through a traffic light and two cop cars turned right in front of us - nearly caused an accident. I couldn't believe our eyes. We had to literally stop our car right in the middle of the traffic so they could go. We had right of way! Anyways, luckily no one was hurt.

  It's been windy all night purelife.  This morning the tempurature outside was almost tropical.  Within 10 minutes the temp dropped like a rock.  We're now in the middle of a thunder and lightening storm.....but at the least the wind is dying down.

One thing can only explain that sudden change, PC... Global Warming.  

  I remember, from a few years ago, downtown was sunny and all of a sudden, it started to get really dark and thunder and lightening was out.  This lasted for about 10 minutes in the afternoon.  It was really really bizarre.  

  Lunch is a mixed salad with everything yummy. :)))

Well it's nice and sunny now.  What a mish-mash of weather we've had today.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Aug 16 07 01:33
My garden shed. I dunno, PC. Made out of.... I know it isn't wood. Plastic, tough, plastic shed. The problem is we did a couple of concrete slabs on the bottom for foundation. When it rained last year, water condensed into the shed and there were molds everywhere. The only thing I can think of that might solve the problem is removing all the slabs under and putting a lining on the ground then placing the slabs on top. A huge job to tackle considering those stupid slab weight a lot after a while.

  I don't know what else to do......

  Lunch today was BBQ duck. I love BBQ duck with veggies. Yummy. Both kiddies lapped it up much to my surprise.

  A vapor barrier? What exactly is that? I'm assuming I can get it from Home Depot. Well... we gotta tackle the slabs anyways, it's all pretty uneven. I just have to smooth out some areas. Anyways, I'll look around for vapor barriers. Thanks for the tip.

I havent made it to the developing place.. so sometime saturday now I will post em up. I also have some of a random guy we saw that managed to catch 8 halibit in little over 45 minutes the first day he was up there off of Pine Island.

Good Evening People!
 
 Back from a long day.  Funeral (mom's cousin, age 71, had cancer for 7 years), took Heckyl and Jeckyl bike riding at Kits beach, then sushi.
 
 purelife- the pumpernickel bread is usually in the deli section of the store.  It's at the Stupidstore on the same shelf as the Pita breads, pizza shells, etc.  I avoid the carraway seed varieties (don't like the taste).
 
 Ingrown toenail: I've had a few.  Soak it in warm salt water, apply some peroxide and a dab of Polysporin.  They hurt!  But the swelling goes down fast once the infection is under control.  You can start "trimming" thepoky part of the nail away with nail clippers, but it hurts.

United Church is the liberal denomination around here.  There are lots of them.
 
 You will find that most churches in Canada are not very political, like they are in the U.S.  People are more personal about their political and spiritual choices.  (I go to an Alliance church, one of the local area mega-churches and there are people of all political stripes there.)

To answer to your question Lil me, yeah, so far so good, some things are surprising though.

  I would prefer a little bit more sun, a little more warm, and cheaper rents and real estate of course. Oh and of course, less poverty and misery in the streets. For the rest, it's OK. Reminds me of Montréal. I like "big" towns.

Hi all.

  That's pretty soon, Russ. Wow. Well, at least you get to loose more pounds. The last time we saw you, you lost quite a bit of weight. Who knows? Maybe this time, you'll be a walking skeleton.

  Gosh. What an afternoon. Lise Jr. not wanting to go to school next month. It's going to be one heck of a first day come September. Waaaah... I'm not even sure who's going to do the most crying, Lise Jr. or me. I'm not ready to let my baby goooooooo......!!!!

  Meh. Downtown food is stupid. Overpriced and not very good. Except for Chinatown, I almost never go eat there. There's a food court near the Pacific Centre, I'm not sure what it's called but it's a small-lish place where you can buy Chinese, Greek, Italian? It's off the side and it gets pretty busy during lunch hour. I remembered ordering from there (Chinese) and it wasn't too bad.

it was before dinosaurs.

Dragonfly-like insects the size of hawks once swooped above what is now Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas. Millipedes nearly 5 feet long scurried among ferns on the primitive forest floor.
 
 Three hundred million years ago, before dinosaurs, gigantic insects roamed the Earth.
 
 Paleontologists puzzle over why giant insects could live then, but not now. They think it had to do with the air. This week, more evidence supports that thought.
 
 Unlike reptiles and mammals, which have lungs that actively suck in air and push it around, insects breathe passively. Air simply drifts into holes in the exoskeleton and through small tubes in the body that deliver oxygen to body parts.

Evening!  Had to take someone to the airport, so I went to Richmond.  Afterwards, took Heckyl and Jeckyl biking at Iona Beach park.  Really nice bike path over the sewer pipe!
 
 Dinner is salmon burger patties (frozen from Costco), veggies and potato salad.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Sounds good Lil Me.  Dinner here will be steak.  Sawdust thought it would be a good idea to buy a cow from Costco and butcher it himself.  My poor teeny freezer is bursting at the seams.  So, steak, mushrooms and caramelized onions, salad, baby cukes and a baked potato.

Scrummyyummy dinners ladies.  I had something similiar to lunch.  bbq chicken, baby potatoes and roasted red peppers and watermelon.  

and it's so nice to go bike riding too, not too hot and not too cold...just right. me thinks. :)))
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Aug 17 07 07:00
Steak dinner sounds nummy.  Good on Mr Saw for butchering his own cow.  I've seen the big slabs of beef at Costco and T&amp;T and wondered if people do that.  
 
 No bike yet.  I'm procrastinating, as I need to get a bike rack for the car before I can carry an adult bike.  And I fear the bike needs some repairs, after languishing for 10+ years...  I'm still fine walking with Heckyl and Jeckyl, as they don't cycle too fast, and they keep wiping out!

I love rollerblading.  Not that I've done much....but when I did....I LIKED IT !  That's a great idea purelife.

  Good on Mr Saw for butchering his own cow.  I've seen the big slabs of beef at Costco and T&amp;T and wondered if people do that.  

  Well, we never have, but it sure works out to be a substantial savings.   Plus his biggest complaint is that steaks aren't cut 'properly thick'.  I think there's a method in his madness, because I can rarely get through half a steak....so he gets to have the leftovers for a steak and egg brekky.

  Anyway, from than on, we stopped at gas stations and restaurants whenever she requested

Ahahahaha....ROTFL gee, 49er. What a story!!!!! About the only I've ever peed (outside a bathroom) was when I did hiking (modesty goes out the window) and at the birthing room. (nuff said)

  Dinner was frozen fish fingers (I don't understand why they keep sticking to the pan in the broiler....), boiled brocolli and steamed rice. Ah well. All I gotta say is... thank goodness for the Save-On el-cheapo plum sauce.

Sis, mom, grandma are 'shopping for me' aka dorm stuff and college clothes and having a blast apparently.

We're going to do something when they get home.

Yeah, weird about the wedddings, I don't know if this is a pre curser to the future. But all the big weddings I've been to, the couple gets divorced.

Now I don't know what that means but that's just an informal observation. lol
All the smaller weddings where you can count all the people in the room, they're still married.

No, my wedding was actually quite small. We had about 70 guests so it was just right and perfect. That's the thing I've learnt, it's better to have a small wedding with friends and family than to have a big bang with people you don't even know.

Hi Lil Me.....and whoever else is left here.

  I'm a sucker for weddings too.  There may be something to your observation SD.  I can't help but wonder about these couples that start out going into huge debt to 'impress' their friends/family with a wedding they can't afford.  Those debts have got to carry over into their daily life in a negative way once 'the big day' is done.

  We had a teeny wedding in our yard.  I'm with Lise on the good food part.  You should serve good food.  We absolutely wanted an open bar....which was easy as we only had 50 guests.  The only person we hired was a good bartender.....lol.  Plenty of great photos were taken by guests.....plus each garden table had a disposable camera on it.....with instructions to take pics of each other....not us.    As you can't be everywhere at the same time....this allowed us to see all the things we missed.  It was wonderful.*sigh*

  I haven't even thought about dinner.  We spent the day in the yard just cleaning and tidying.....neverending task.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 18 07 10:31
That sounds like the perfect wedding P.C. My family never gets together so weddings and funerals are like a family renunion. We end up sitting around a table telling stories. My cousins wedding was like that. Since the church rejected them because they lived together they had to do a commercial wedding at a wedding chapel in Gatlinburg Tennessee. They had about 30 people there, nobody really cared about how many people were there. If it was at the church (if they were allowed) they'd probably have a huge wedding. But it was super quite and nice.  
Meanwhile my other cousin invited the whole town and needed the biggest gathering hall in the little town to serve the people. It wasn't fun.

I think it shows what kind of people the couple is going to be. The big wedding the wedding party ignored the family and just partied. While the smaller wedding everyone talked it was almost like a family dinner and we all bonded and didn't want it to end.

The big couple got divorced 3 years later and the other one had a kid and is building a house now. Not saying that big weddings are bad, they just come off as superficial and fake.

Post by: P.C. on Aug 18 07 11:19
Well....I don't think it's a rule that I'd live by.  I just wonder if some of those things creep into the day to day struggles.....like.....'why did you have to spend $8000.00 on a dress to wear for 3 hours?'  I mean, I know people who have spent enough on a wedding for a substantial down payment on a house.....while they remain in their cramped little appartment, with no hope of getting out because they're so in debt.

Just doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks, SD. In a way, I am lucky because I grew up in a family that values tradition and being together. At the same time, it's not always perfect. I know cracks within the family that no one will talk about for fear of shame or whatever.

  I am determined to give as much value to my new family as possible so that they will grow up with love and knowing how important a family is.

  I just know you're going to do the same when you meet that special someone and start your own family, SD. You know what's been missing so I'm sure you won't want your kids to grow up feeling like you did. Right?

My friend and myself were going to put in the new carpet in but my dad somehow got in there and has his buddy who's a carpetlayer coming over to put it in.

  8k for a wedding of 70 people sounds about right lise... unfortunately it looks like with all the friends and family we 'have' to invite according to our parents its going to be almost 3x as many people.

In traditional chinese weddings, the bride's family decides how many banquet tables are to be reserved for their side of the family and friends.  Most often this is a exobitant amount as the family wants to show how well their daughter is marrying into........and the groom (or groom's family) is paying!

  Fortunately it's customary to give the newlyweds money in red envelopes at the reception......many of my friends have came out ahead after deducting the wedding costs

  No, the car has not been moved. Isn't that insane? Four days ago, someone (I guess officer John?) came and put a sticker on the car window saying if the car hasn't been moved in three days, they'll come and tow it. Nobody has done anything just yet so the car's still there. I'm hoping that we'll see something being done today.

  Isn't that crazy that nobody wants to do anything about an abandoned car? Who knows where that car might have been or whose body is dumped in there.... meh. I think I wached too much CSI. I just want that car out of sight. It's quite an eye-sore for me.

Does the car smell, Lise?  Cops probably put your call on low priority.

  I've got a lunch date, so we might go for sushi or noodles, depending on how busy these places are.  And tonight, I'm watchnig Superbad with my brother.

Morning DS!!!

  Lise, put a piece of fish up under the rear of the car then call the cops and tell them its really stinking like somethings rotting in there. They will come faster.

What type of car is it? Anything looks good on it? :):)

  Well, on to the grind... few more days and I still have lots to do :(

I think that you'll like it Lil Me, perhaps love it!

  I'm going to try the memory foam pillow from Costco.

Funny that you guys were talking about the mattress topper.........its the memory foam and microfill one right?  I bought one just a few weeks ago because Costco coupon book had a $30 or $40 off coupon.......I still haven't opened mine yet
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Aug 20 07 12:43
Sardines here for lunch too.  Right outta the can!  Heeeeheeeeeee
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Aug 20 07 01:24
Yuppers, that's the one, 49er.  If I had known that there was a coupon, I would've brought it back then.  Oh well, I couldn't wait again.  I've been having sore backs and shoulders lately from my bed.  This topper is an excellent investment.

  For lunch, I had the most yummiest grilled mackeral EVAR! (with miso soup too).  My friend took me to this lil Japanese place and all their food is scrumptious.  Mackeral was as close that I could order next to sardines. :)))

how sweet.

I've been watching some of the funniest videos on the planet. The plight of the asian male in terms of dating on youtube. CLASSIC.

One guy is going on how the koreans have long hair and all the asian girls want the guys with the long korean hair. lol

Although my mom's teamate in teaching is a polish blonde girl married to an asian guy. The koreans in my mom's grade were funny for meet the teacher. They were looking for the asian teacher. Well of course there wasn't an asian teacher. So they all went to the african american teacher thinking that she's the 'one' since its not uncommon to see asians with black people here in the states (goes back to segregation asians and blacks were treated the same, you go into the black areas and there is a chop suey place on every corner).

But they weren't expecting the blonde polish girl.

It's been here like more than 1 week already!?!?

When they run the plates if its not reported stolen by the owner they dont get it right away normally, they give the owner a bit. If it however has no plates, they usually give it a week then tow it and track it back to its last owner with teh VIN tags.

Isn't that the best.  That works for me too....although I don't do that very often either.  The last time I was at a theatre, the buffoons behind us gave a running monologue of everything that was going to happen.....and treated us all to the ending of the movie before intermission.

 Nope. They never asked for license plate but I gave it to them anyways, plus the make and color of the car. Anyways, like Russ said, it's probably not stolen or else they would have towed it away already. I'll keep you guys posted.

  Sushi, Russ? I quite like Fish on Rice for All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet. Good stuff but there's Yakko or Sushi Garden on Kingsway that's not too shabby.

  I'm the same with you on movies there, 49er. I can't stand being in the dark theatre with loud noises and whatever going on. You don't even know what goes on the seats. But hubby likes it so he keeps dragging me there. Each time I go in, I end up with a massive headache afterwards. Too much stimulus.[/DIV]

Hello! Hello!!

  SD's getting his cholesterol checked? Geez. Aren't you a mite too young for that?

  Hubby gets it done all the time. No eating past 10pm so he's basically starving. He hits the labs the moment they open their doors so he can get breakfast down. LOL.

  Getting checked for gestational diabetes is waaaay harder though. You don't get to eat past 10pm then they give you this unbelivably sweet orange fizz soda that makes your blood level rocket. Great on an empty pregnant tummy.

  Dinner tonight is tofu with salted black beans, green beans in garlic and rice.

That means if your number is MORE (EDIT - oops!) than the recommended number then you've got a problem. Be sure to ask your doctor what they each mean. I don't think you should be too worry for now.

  Those cholesterol pills are bloody expensive here. We don't have extended health insurance so each time we go to fill them up, they cost about $200. Expensive but what you do? We need it.

 Valkyrie is about the plot to kill hitler. It failed and the leader of it was executed. The person who was executed is like a martyr/saint of German culture lore. (anybody that was executed for being against the Nazis is now). And Cruise is playing that character.
He was banned at first because Germany considers Scientology a cult. And under german religion laws. (everybody gets federal money jews, catholics, lutherans, muslims etc.), anyway he's deemed the official person of the 'religion'. And since its labeled a cult, leaders of cults aren't allowed in the country.

Something like that.
Anyway they decided he wasn't the official  spokesperson for the cult.  They made some deal.

Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 22 07 03:15
almost. We were forced to leave our homes, we lost our citizenship of Hungary, lost our house, (some hungarian family moved in), and we were sent off to Russian gulags in Ukraine. Stateless and nobody gave a damn because we spoke german and therefore we were the enemy even though we hadn't lived in Germany for over 200 years.
My grandma got out after 4 years after the Soviets realized she was a US citizen. But they didn't close the camps until Stalin died which was in the mid 50's.

That's the kind of horrible things that occurs when you base your policies on nationalism. And this is even more shocking when you think that the regimes who adopted these ostracist policies were supposely basing themselves on the class struggle and internationalist principles.

Ah 1956, the political revolution that Trotsky was already calling for in USSR in 1936 and that finally erupted in a satellite country, just like June 1953 in East Germany. Too bad there was no genuine marxist party powerful enough at the time, the entire Stalinist world would have crumbled and the west would have followed.

I always had for years too Lil Me.  And I actually thought I had just 'gone off' sardines.  So after all the years that I'd eaten Brunswick, (since I was a kid)  I tried another brand to see if that was it.   Cloverleaf are like Brunswick used to be.  (I find the Brunswick have like 4 fishies....the Cloverleaf has 20.)  Tender and more delicate taste.

 When I buy rollmops, it becomes a test of my will. If I do not control myself I will eat the whole jar.

 With restraint, the jar usually last 3-4 days. At $8 / jar, it's like the Scotch I drink, only once in a while.

You've got to have the crowd mic'd or any tv/radio broadcast is not fun to watch or listen to and you'll end up falling asleep. But that's like the first thing they teach you in sports production broadcasting.

 yeah soccer has a future there. They're waiting to build a new stadium for a future MLS team eventually but they need money from "Ottawa". Another thing I've never figured out. Why are they waiting around for money from Ottawa. Its called being able to be self sufficent, raise the money to do it yourself, lol, don't let "ottawa" dictate you.

It took me two years to figure out why a social democrat pro-federalism/canada would vote PQ. A guy I know from Montreal told me not all PQers were pro-Quebec but believed in everything else. lol I was like never, I don't believe it. Now I understand. I can separate the two. lol

That said the PQ is a mess and a bit full of themselves.

Dibs on purelife's bra!!!! I get the one that's edible.

  Late afternoonie, folks. Almost countdown to BBQ. Hmmmm..... I'm salivating already. My big ass prawns are sitting pretty in the refrigerator after being marinated with soy sauce, garlic, ginger and lemon juice. Lise Jr. went 'eeeeowww - those are gross heads.' Ah well. She won't know what's missing.

  For dessert I think we're getting cake courtesy of my mother-in-law. She always bake the most delicous butter cake topped with raisins. And I've just completed cups of orea cookie ice cream on the side.

Cos in Québec you pay 2 incomes taxes, hence the constant fighting and bitching, plus it's a good way to manipulate the people. Aanything that is not properly done, it is of course the fault of Ottawa. A recipe copied since by every other provinces... lol

  Yes, the PQ always played the social-democratic card to gain a larger popular support for it's separatist option. Hence you have 3 groups of people voting for them, the nationalists, the social-democrats and the soft liberal angry against their party after 4 years of crap in power. That's what explain their big scores and less interesting results during referendum, and of course the complex questions asked at these referendum.

  According to various surveys, there has never been more than 17 % of Quebecquers would have ever vote yes to a question as clear as Do you want the independance of Québec, yes or no.

  This says a lot...

 oh yeah its a fact the more vague you are the more likely to get a Oui vote instead of Non. I also find it funny and a bit sad that it takes 60% for British Columbia to go to a more democratic voting system. (last election 58% voted for it all but two ridings were not for it) Yet Quebec can leave at 50.1. lol

I'm still shocked nobody's come up with a social democratic autonomous/stay in Canada party. Solidarity messed up when they decided to go the separation route when forming their own party.

Yeah. I filled the basin with water and placed the mutt in it for about 5 mins, wetting his body. Dogs sweat through their paws... in order to cool one's dog, you have to put him in water for a bit. He seemed fine afterwards.

Hey Lise.

  Ok, I figured it out.  You go to Lougheed Hwy, eastbound.  Then, turn left heading North on North Road.  North Road turns into Clarke Road so stay on your right.  You will then hit St. John's Street.   Then turn left on Ioco Road and keep to your left.  Then, turn right on to 1st Ave and then again on Sunnyside Road.  Follow the road and you will hit Buntzen parking lot.

Greetings people. Had a wonderful potluck dinner with a good friend. He's going back to Japan. Waaah... won't be seeing him till next year. Oh well. Wonderful folks there, we even met an aspring movie director from Japan.

  So funny. I bought BBQ chicken and another of our friends bought the same thing. I told them I should have made lasagne (as in, store-bought) and they said they were gonna do that too but it was too much work so they opt for BBQ chicken instead. LOL. Great minds think alike.

  Hey PC, no use arguing with SD. He'll just probably pull out some statistic about how why arguing about this means something somewhere in the universe.....

Sounds like a good time Lise.  Can't go wrong with BBQ chicken.

  So did you ask if you could star in the next movie ?????  It would be a block buster I'm sure.

  Dinner tonight was a delectable hunk-o-salmon, some new local potatos and local corn on the cob.  Hubby cooked which made it taste even better.

 but, but, nevermind.
So I guess its just as easy to get into harvard as community college. ;))))))
But SFU is the easier school it says so on its front page. The accept everyone in B.C. with a 75-80 and above in grade 12 grades. UBC its much higher.

From SFU's website:
[a href="http://www.sfu.ca/prospectiveundergrads/"] http://www.sfu.ca/prospectiveundergrads/[/a]

With a 75% average, you are [a href="http://students.sfu.ca/admission/guarantee.html" target="_blank"]guaranteed admission[/a] to SFU. And there's still time to apply for Fall 2007.

And UBC's requirements are much harder hence the hard acceptance rate.

  I really hope he gets to direct sometime in the future. Right now he's a booking agent, working with actors and actresses. He books gigs for them, arrange appointments with the media and what-have-you-not. The hardest part of his job is dealing with emotional actresses. He has to cater to their needs. Yikes! I wouldn't want to be in his shoes but at the same time, it sound like an interesting job.

  His sister who came to the potluck just graduated and will be working to study weather and climate pattern changes. Isn't that exciting? Just the criteria to be working for Mr. Al Gore.

Must be great to work in movie indutries. Hope your Japanese aspirant has something to say and that he will succeed.

Talking about Japanese movies, yesterday night on CBC after the soccer game, there was a serie of 3 old godzilla movies, including the original one, in B/W with Japanese subtitle. I like those, they makes me smile. Too bad it was so late.

It's Sunday. Insanity rules depending the day and lack of sex.

  I like some of the old godzilla movies. Funny stuff. I can't believe ppl would actually do that, dress in fake-looking dino costume and go stomping on fake buildings... and still make money from that.

  Lunch today was at Kingsway Sushi, by Kingsway and Boundary. Ugh. Not very good. Waitress was rude as hell and you had to speak your order (for AYCEB) which is kinda unusual because it was much easier to write down what you want and give the sheet to your waitress. Top-notch service by other servers though. At least the place was clean and new.

I love the naivety in it, plus the"MESSAGE" about Hiroshima. In a way, I see a reflection of the traumatism of that event and Nagasaki in Godzilla, just like in Alain Resnais's Hiroshima mon amour, although of course these 2 movies are not at the same level of seriousness. It was amazing also to see how Japan is poor and industrially backward in that firrst Godzilla movie compare to the amazing society it has became since in light of development.

Hello virtual preety one.

  Week end quiet, you know after a month on the road chasing landscape and wildlife, even a wildlife lover like me feel urban a bit. I was supposed to go hike the Tusk at Garibaldi Provincial Park with a colleague who has a 4 X 4, but thanks the weather forecast was bad there, so I could instead just go take a walk at Granville Island, there was a French Canadian musician there singing Piaf, Ferré, Brassens and other classics French song, so it was peaceful and relaxing to listen to him in the sun. Still,  we will go to Garibaldi, we're just waiting to get good wether for taking pics. Saturday, I went to a mexican store on the north shore pay for bookcase that I order before I left for Alaska, they are custom made so that they can fit in my annoying overpriced Van basement suite where my Ikea crap don't enter (too tall). Lol, can you believe it, all my books are still in boxes after all that time. The bookcases should arrive this afternoon.

Otherwise, I like Van for some aspects, but hated it for others.

 We tried to watch the meteor showers too the other night but nothing. I guess you have to be at a higher elevation and a clear night.

Niet, you just need dark skies (50 km from any light pollution is the best) and wide open space to see all aroun you, and it's perfect.

  We were talking about a total lunar eclipse, it was overcast the only time I got up last night at around 5, so I saw nothing.

  The meteor shower we were talking about are the Perseids, they occured every year on the 11, 12 and 13 of August, the main action been around 2 to 4 in the morning every night.

Hello! Hello! I missed out on the lunar eclipse but I'll take your word that it happened, Michel.

  Lovely day today. Not so sunny. Which reminds me I have to take the kiddies out today. Maybe just take them for a nice walk.

  Nothing special planned today. Lunch is probably going to be minced chicken with noodles. Maybe do a muffin session today, strawberries and blueberries mixture.

  Nervous, SD?  You're finally leaving tomorrow, right?

  Oh, Lise.  I've been meaning to ask you how Samosa Garden works.  Was there a buffet for dinner?   Oh, and have you ever been to Green Basil? It's across from Metrotown, on Kingsway and they supposedly have excellent Thai food.  I've heard great reviews. :))

purelife - You just go in and tell the waiters you want to go ahead for the buffet. Sit down at your table, get your water then head to the buffet table. Grab the plates at the start and work your way down. Pretty easy. You can ask for the bill at your table or just go to the front and pay.

  No. I haven't tried Green Basil but the lunch special looks good. Maybe one of these days. I usually just go to Thai House for their lunch deals.

This happened today.  My guy was walking home and saw a teddy bear on the hood of my car.  He took a close look at it and it said "I Love You [insert my real name]" printed on a heart with the teddy bear.  The heart was personalized to read this.  My guy just walked away, thinking about how weird it was to see that.  Later, a little girl saw it and picked it up and probably took it home.  

Now, this could be a very darn coincidental practical joke or I should be worried about a freaking stalker.  Who in the hell would put a teddy bear with my name on it on MY car!  At first, I thought that my guy was playing or telling a joke but he was serious.  Should I be worried?

  This sounds pretty strange purelife.  Where was your car ?  At home, or at your work?  

  I wouldn't panic just yet.  There's a bit of a leap from a secret admirer, to a stalker.  On the other hand, I wonder if it might be an idea to jot down a few notes on a calendar, to remember dates and details.  (Our memories get distorted after a week or two)  Good idea to pay attention to your surroundings over the next little while.  Don't be frightened.....but be cautious and alert.

purelife- It could be a coincidence.  If it is an admirer, I hope they reveal themselves asap, to put your mind at ease.

 woah, watch out PL, if I were you I would go to the little girl and her family, to ask who gave her the teddy bear, this way you'll see if it's really hers.

Also, as other said, there's a difference between a secret admirer and a stalker, but still, pay attention with that.

Twice ? How does he knows you didn't get the bear ? He's either watching you or he reads the forum here...

Yesterday, I was going to ask you to send me a message on a gmail account that I don't use anymore, but I thought it was not the best day to ask you that. Anyway, I will tell you here in public what I wanted to tell you yesterday. As you know I have been here quite often in the last few weeks since I'm at my new job, well I can tell you that your profile is checked very often by one (or many?) "guest", especially in the morning, so I would definitly pay attention about that.

Outf no really the time for humor, but still that bot is annoying :

 It happened again this morning.  This time, it was between a certain time.  It's at home, PC.  This time, it's a much smaller bear with a heart with "I Love You" on it without my name.  It's definitely not the little girl's.  I sure hope that that person got the wrong car and the wrong person.  I'm pretty scared but I guess that I shouldn't worry...yet.

  Holy strangeness purelife.  I think that's a good idea.....talk to neighbours and see if someone can do a little watching.....maybe with a camera.    [/DIV]

I was thinking the same thing, but I doubt too.

I think advice about camera and others should be sent to Purelife by PM, as I said the stalker/admirer might comes here. Her profile is really check often. PC, maybe you can do a cut and paste of the last messages (including mine) and delete those after sending her privately ?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Aug 29 07 09:48
I'll check with purelife to see if that would be her wish, Michel.

  It's not uncommon at any given time to see someones profile being checked.  Merely clicking on a persons handle from the 'who's online' board, to send a PM would show as someone 'viewing a profile'.  There is nothing in her profile that could be remotely connected as far as I can see.

what I found weird is how come he knew you've "lost" the first bear to the little girl? And where did he get that fast a second bear to put it so early on your car ? Also if he knows you that well, why does he choose your car and not your doorstep as a place for the bear ?

  There must be some good hints there about his identity.

I think the police think is a good think, play safe.

  Yes I wanted to tell you that for a long time (I was planning to tell you when we would meet eventually or by email, but since you decide yesterday not to go further, it's ok with me).

  So, yeah this site is very slow so I checked often if somedy is writing something somewhere cos I'm really bored at work, and very often I see a guest checking your profile. But as PC said, it might be people just writing PM to you, that I didn't knew. Still you know how many message you received, so you're the only one who can know for sure. Snyway, i see once in a while guest checking one profile or another (mainly the profile of SD), but yours, by far is checked more often than any others. So either you're popular with PM, or you're popular for the wrong reasons. I would say that I saw atelast 10 time guest checking your profile, mainly in the mornin, compare to 2 or 3 times for Sd and one time PC, a few tenkani Imassume too.

  Anyway, I don't want to scare you, it might be only PM indeed, but still, I prefer to let you know.

Good idea. if I were you, I would also pay attention not let a virtual reputation about your "hotness" develop again, cos I think that's looking for trouble on the net. This reputation has followed you since DV aka Disfunctional Vancouver and some wackos still talked about you many months after you left and disapeared from there.

  That was the other thing I wanted to tell you. This and also the amount of info that you're letting go. For example, you just posted that you live in an appartment and that technically the admirer can pitch his bear to your balcony. You say too much if there's really a stalker trying to get at you. YOu have no idea how much he knows about you and where he gets his information, so just don't say anything absolutly necessary.

  Pay attention. Once again, I'm not trying to scared you.

It could very well be me for that matter.  As purelife is 'hidden' when online, I regularly run down the list, to see who is here.  That would come up as viewing a profile.  I'm really relatively sure it means nothing.  You can also access the person's last posts by clicking on their handle.....which would also show up as 'viewing profile'.

  I think the incidents are separate from online.  No proof of course...just a hunch.  Purelife, if this is a concern for you, I don't think it would hurt to at least document a call to the police.

Well let's hope. With all the explanations you gave PC, it seems very plausible that there's no connection whatsoever. For what I knew before your explanations about how DS works, the only think I could say is that there were definitly a lot more checking of her profile, an amount definitly noticeable, day after day.

  Anyway, DV/DS stalker/admirer or not, the teddy bears are still very real.

I REALLY think you all need to think about this rationally for a  moment.

  There is no way anybody has gotten that kind of info from your profile.  There is nowhere you have posted your first and last name.  If it's someone you have TOLD your name to......deleting your posts won't make them UN-KNOW your name.

  This is making no sense to me.

  Just in case you're talking to me and not only to PL, I don't think that, and I don't think PL thinks that either. The bears episode just made her more conscious to pay attention about what she post on the net and I thinks it's good.

Good morning purelife.

  I haven't decided.  I can't make up my mind if I want to putter in the yard, or go for a drive.

  Hubby says there was an earthquake yesterday morning around 8:35.  The whole top of their building shook and some of the spouses phoned and said they thought their roof was coming down.  So it sounds significant, and yet there wasn't a peep on the news about it.

  We watched a bit of Pathfinder. Was ok. Bloody and gory film though but it could have been better. Like maybe more man flesh to show instead of fur clothing. *grunt grunt*

Hiya Lise.

  He's in Nanaimo already?  I thought he said that he was going to be in Vancouver for about 3 days and then he's off to the Island.  I could be wrong.

  Yea...long weekend!

No.....he caught the 3:15 ferry yesterday.  He was never actually in Vancouver.  Flew into Richmond.....and then there would have been a mad dash to catch the ferry.  He probably didn;t even have time to pee.

Oh he is. OK. I'm a noob. I guess I don't pay much attention to SD's rambling... er... I mean comments. Looks like a lovely day to go travelling around Vancouver. I hope he's having fun and picking up cute chicks.

  What's for lunch today, folks? I'm just having leftovers from last night. I'm also gonna make sushi vegetables with the kids for dinner too. Should be fun. I'm going to let Lise Jr. wrap her own sushi.

We all went from bar to bar couldn't really go to a club because the Comox girl was 18. But we found this battle of the bands place at a bar/club had a great time. loved it.

Greetings everyone. Just got back from Metrotown with mother-in-law plus two kids. OMG. I was so stressed out, baby crying, Lise Jr. wanting to do this and that.... waaah. Mother-in-law tries to help but y'know, it's not the same. I can't shop with two kids! If I do that often, I'm going to have no hair left. Nightmare.

  Lunch at the food court. I had no appetite, feeding the two ones and causing quite a mess there. Should have gotten a quick burger on the way out.

  Thank goodness it's the long weekend.

  Miss Lise.....I don't envy you the shopping with toddlers phase.  You have to pack like you're going out for a week when it's only a few hours.  They seem to have radar about having a crying spell at the worst possible time in the worst possible place.  *sigh.....hang in there.

I just got back from walking like 10kms it seemed like to the grocery store, then walking all the way back.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Aug 31 07 03:55
Thanks, PC. Always good to have support here.

  Yikes! 10km to the nearest grocery shopping centre, SD. I'll give you my donkey to ride on next time, ok?

  OMG. Am I crazy??? I just got a call from my boss to say that they couldn't find me a part-time position because I had asked them to find me one. Then I called back to say, hey, is that job still available because I'll come back to full time. I mean... AM I LOSING MY MARBLES?!?!?! Two toddlers, full time position, job that doesn't pay as well as it should have.... YER GODS.

  I caught him off-guard because they have promised the job to another person already. To make things worst, that person would be coming in within mid week to take over. ARGH. But he wants me back so he has to work things out... they'll probably have an answer for me at the end of the long weekend.

  I dunno. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm out of my mind. I should look for a dentist closer with less hours, right? Right? Trouble is there aren't many dentists out there that I enjoyed working (plus I would have to start over again like a newbie) and who knows what kinda ass**** I might end up with. On the other hand, I won't be spending time with my wee ones.

  ARGH!!! I'm banging my head on the wall. Anyways, gotta get this off my chest. What the hell am I gonna do.....................................???? Or more importantly, what happened just now??

OK. OK. *breathing a little bit - calmer now*

  I just went through the job listings. Seems to be jobs everywhere for my line of work. I can rest a bit easier. I just have to be a bit more confident in my work. Like I've been doing this for five years. I'm sure I can find one that's better pay and closer to work.

  ARGH!!! I wish I was rich so I don't have to worry about all this... hmph.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Aug 31 07 07:57
Oh jeebus Lise.....I hate having to make a panic decision.  Have you thought about asking your boss about a 'job sharing' position.  Two people interested in part time to fill the week....... to trade off between each other to make their schedules work around 'mom schedules'.  Great for moms who need flexibility.

  The boss actually steps aside as far as scheduling goes.....and leaves it up to the 2 to fill the week.  You can even negotiate a full week if either of you needs a few extra bucks.....and on the flip side if someone just needs more than a couple days off.  

  Something like a 3 on 4 off.  (or even better if they are not open 7 days  a week.....3 on 3 off.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Aug 31 07 10:04
Problem is no one wants to do job sharing. It's kinda weird because I do think that there are many CDAs out there who would want to job share. I mean, how hard can it be? Part of me suspect that my boss don't really want a person who can do part time. Ah well. If I lose the job, then so be it. I can always find one closer.

  It's just... I guess a security issue thing. I just need a confident booster. Or strike the lottery.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Aug 31 07 10:09
Lise, if you've done it for five years you already know you're good at it.  So whenever you start to doubt yourself, just remember that you wouldn't have worked that long at it if you weren't good.  You can do it competently no matter where you work.  Good luck in job hunting.  There is probably an office close to home just waiting for your expertise.

  Oh boy......you nailed that one, Lise.  It IS a security issue.....familiarity means not having to go through the 'acceptance' stage again.....which is always unsettling.  But when you know your stuff......you know your stuff.  

  Getting a job closer to home means less travel time....which equals less time away from the munchkins.....and less money for gas.....which equals more  'whatever you need' for the muchkins.

  Lise......you don't strike me as someone who lacks in self esteem.....YOU CAN DO IT GIRL !!!!

Aaaah, you guys! Thank you so much for your support and kind words. Now that I'm a lot calmer, part of me kinda regret asking them to take me back. Security is the one thing that keeps me grounded, I guess it's just hard to let go and take the plunge. But sometimes you gotta do it and maybe it'll be better in the end.

  It's just that... I guess after one year you kinda not sure about everything. Like can I remember how to work with a dentist? LOL.

  Anyways, thanks again. Your words really help. I must be positive and keep a high spirit. Things happen for a reason and there's no point in harping over past issue. I will be stronger for this. Blesses all around. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/23.gif)

maybe kitten but when I was in the 'snack area' your oreos come in a bag of not very many. Down where I'm from all oreos come in a plastic tray of 50.

Milk is cheaper here. Back home its about a dollar more thanks to ethanol production increases.

I agree the portion sizes here are smaller - that's cause we eat far less than the average American. You don't see many fat people here, do you? If you think the portions here are smaller, wait till you go to any Asian countries.

  Back from the park. I can't believe we cut our picnic short because of one stupid bee. Damn bee was hovering near us and we went berserk, waving our arms and screaming. I panicked most of the time because of the kiddies. My mother-in-law said our flight was like 'you'd think you were flying from a lion and not a bee.' LOL.

I decided to have a "real" meal tonight, so I cooked some haddock with French fries and beans.  I feel quite virtuous for having done the right thing.  Besides, sandwiches were getting boring.

  Who else had a nice supper?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Sep 01 07 08:52
That sounds delicious, kitten.  
 
 I had some BBQ sauce marinated steak (from M&amp;M) with microwaved veg and brown rice.
 
 Lunch was....interesting.  I was given some free passes to the Taiwanese Cultural Festival at the Plaza of Nations, so I wanted to try something different for lunch.  I had some vegetarian sticky glutinous rice balls ($4 for 2 LARGE ones) served cold with a chili plum sauce.   Looked like a diaphragm filled with bamboo shoots and dried turnip.  I'm glad I tried them, though.

Good for you miss Kitten.  It's nice to treat ourselves as well as we'd treat others.

Kecap manis translated from Malay/Indonesian literally means 'sweet sauce'. You gotta be careful though, it packs quite a load of calories. I usually use it when stir-frying noodles.

  Those rice cakes certainly look interesting. Hmmm.... totally forgot that they had a Taiwanese festival at the Plaza of Nations. I was thinking of going there. Food is always a good cause to go to. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Other/18.gif)  I like the rice cake with red beans in them, good stuff.

HI Lise, I don't know the full story, but if you were off on Mat leave, your employer must keep your position open for you. Also they can not materialy change your job description on your return without the consent of both parties. That said, an experienced CDA would have no trouble finding a new/better job.

  Well, that's why we have Labour Relations here.  Perhaps that's why you feel so strongly about unions.  Here, the law takes care of what they used to, which is probably why you hear so many say they are obsolete.

Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 02 07 12:15
ah we don't have that lol.

Yeah. I've known 4 people who have been 'demoted' because of mat leave and you always here about the teacher at a private catholic/religious school getting pregnant and then promptly fired because she's single. Yet the male teacher can have tons of kids and nobody gives.

You have no 'security blanket' in the states. You're out on your own and if the liberatarian part of the republican party took over it would be even more like that. We'd have no IRS, no postal service, no medicare medicad.

You live in a welfare state where the government cares about the people. US mentality is a 'going alone I don't need help'.

It doesn't work.

  Actually SD....Mat leave is not the same in all states.  Since 2000 (?) the Department of Labour ruled that states can use unemployment benefits so that more states can provide paid leave.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 02 07 12:25
but its by a state by state basis. If you're in a 'blue state' its much more like Canada. If your in a predominantly right wing red state you won't get as much.

Benefits are like night and day if you lived on the other side of the river in Illinois instead of Missouri.

This is also from American Labour Laws......Your employer is required to reinstate you with the same pay at your same job or to a position equivalent to your old job, once you return from maternity leave. This means that the position must have the same pay, duties, geographical location, hours, working conditions, benefits and opportunities for advancements.

Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 02 07 12:31
hmmm maybe but I've known people who get their job back but then end up getting replaced and having to go a different direction.

But its by a state by state basis.
For example I was at a party everyone had a tatoo here and was talking about getting one.
The Bush administration has vetoed and struck down laws that make discrimination like that legal.
Another example was recently the democratic house and senate is passing laws that make discrimination against gays and lesbians illegal. Bush is going to veto it.

It occurred to me that maybe it should be added, that although you are entitled to your job back.....you are not guaranteed that job permanently.  Some employers may find that an increase of 'days off' that may required by a new mom.....or whatever the case may be, are not in keeping with that guarantee.  So in the same vein that an employee is guaranteed their same position, job description etc......they are also obligated to perform the job to an equal standard as before they took Mat leave.  

  Anything beyond that is dependant on the personal tolerance of the employer.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 02 07 04:15
Hi!

  Yeah, I know that they have to keep my job open till the end of the month, it's the law but I've told them that if they want me back that they would have to get part-time position for me. So far, they've tried but they couldn't find a person to job share with me. It's weird because there must be tons of CDAs out there who would do this no problem. I think my dentist just prefers to find someone who can work full-time.

  Anyways, after I told them I wasn't interested, they found someone to replace me full time. Then I guess I panicked and said I can come back if they're still interested but it's ok if they won't offer it to me. Part of me hopes they won't because it'll force me to look somewhere closer and more flexible. I'm sure that I will be able to do my job. It's just that after 1 year of not working, I feel so out-of-the-loop.

  My goal is to continue working with them for a bit then look elsewhere. Once I get my skills up to par and become more confident I'll do something else. Trouble is my work is not a bad place and it doesn't feel like work. I'm only concern about spending time with the kiddies and working Saturdays which sucks.

  Then I'll miss you lot too much.................... *sob*

Evening everyone.  I'm tired, too- SD.
 
 Safeway deli chicken tonight.
 
 Mr LM and Heckyl &amp; Jeckyl made blackberry freezer jam.  Spent the day geocaching and picking blackberries.  Found 2/3 geocaches.  Totally convinced that the one we couldn't find no longer exists.  We dug around for 2 hrs in the correct location and not a sausage.  Oh well.  Fun day, anyways.
 
 Bedtime soon.  Having breakfast early tomorrow with an old friend (+his new wife and 2 kids).

I'm curious too.  I've never heard the term.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Sep 02 07 09:09
It's a treasure hunt using GPS (or compass) coordinates.  Usually there is a plastic container hidden somewhere with some small items to trade and a log book.  The cool thing is that some of the items are trackable- for instance, we picked up a tag today and entered the code into the website- it started in Wisconsin, went to NY and now it's in BC.
 
 It gets us out of the house and running about.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Sep 02 07 09:09
I just googled it.  It's a treasure hunting 'game'......tracking treasures by GPS.  I've never heard of this before.  I thought Lil Me was just being fancy.....and they were out collecting rocks.....lol

 well I'm off to the last house party before school starts. lol I think we've all partied ourselves out so that when school starts we can focus on school. lol

Had another break in today, my new zealand friend lost all his stuff the 14 year old took it all. After today I'm seriously considering changing majors to criminology. shit I figured everything out before rcmp folks showed up a couple hours later.

Its the same kid doing this. He broke into my friend from Nigeria's room last week. And another room the week before. Always on the weekend. They caught him with the nigeria's guys stuff but they can't do squat.

Apparently because he's "14" they can't do anything, too young. lol In my country they've tried 14 year olds with the death and 9 year olds get life.

Then I was told if I put just a finger on him, I'm the one that gets in trouble not the thief. The RA said because of laws or something I'd get deported for stopping a crime. lol

  We're having sushi and sashimi from Samurai Sushi. I haven't had those big ass sushi for a long time so it's good to have them. Also microwaving some okra then dipping in yellow bean paste.

  We had the hotpot yesterday. Man, my friends have bottomless pits for their tummies. I cannot believe there is nothing leftover. I bought so much food and they managed to down everything. Next time I will need to slaughter one chicken per person.

  How does one make Yorkshire Pudding?[/DIV]

Milk eggs and flour.  Simp.  

  2 eggs
1 c. milk
4 tbsp. oil
Cold water
Pinch of salt

  Beat the bejeezers out of it, until it is 'frothy'.  Refrigerate for an hour or so.  Pour a teaspoon or so of veg oil in each place in a muffin tin.  Put it in a 450 degree oven until it is almost smoking hot.  Take it out and pour in your batter  ( barely more than half full)  put back in the oven, and cook for 20 minutes....or until golden and very poofy.

Evening everyone!  Leftovers for din din.
 
 purelife- you might want the dollar store toys to use as "traders" when you find a geocache.  For instance, take a Hot Wheels toy from the cache, leave a red rubber ball.

You got us all intrigued Lil Me.  I spent some time reading up on it today.  Really sounds like a lot of fun.  So after all that, I never asked if you found one ?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Sep 03 07 08:14
Hey P.C.!  We looked for 3 caches in our neighbourhood.  Found 2 of them (easy peasy).  The 3rd one- we got the right area but after a LOT of digging (1 hr before lunch and another hr after lunch) still couldn't find it.  It shouldn't be THAT difficult (it was marked "easy") so we concluded that it probably wasn't there.
 
 Mr LM looked up the geocaches for us.  He searched by our postal code and found 3 "easy" ones nearby.  My GPS and compass skills aren't very good, but Mr LM is good and Heckyl and Jeckyl are keen to learn.  We're fortunate that Mr LM has GPS and compass units from work to use, but I know some people who do geocaching without them.  In some cases, the cache directions are indicated on the website so you don't need these.

Thanks for the info Lil Me.  I'm glad to hear you say that you don't NEED the GPS.  I'd love to try it first without dropping a bundle.

 I search by my zip code and saw the list in my area.  I recognized several descriptions on the list and now it make sense of seeing people walking around searching with printouts in their hands in the park trail near my house.

Oh my, NOW I understand geocaching.  It's always there because once you find the item, you keep it and then you put another item in that same location for someone else to find it.  OMG, what an excellent "finders keepers" kinda thing to do.  I am DEFINITELY going to do this once I master what this is all about from further readings on the site.  Now, I understand what you're talking about Lil Me.  Thanks SO MUCH for talking about this.  I've seriously never heard of this before.  Ooooo....me excited. :)))

  Oh, and good morning.  I had a carrot, baby cuke and a plum just now for my mid morning snack.

Took DS long enough to be up! Hmph. TehBorken must be having tons of sex in the  meantime.

  Thank you for the Yorkshire pudding recipe, PC! Really appreciate it. Looking forward to doing that one of these days.

  Took Lise Jr. to school. OMG. My heart got broken into many pieces. I had to flee before I broke down and cried in front of her. It was hilarious. She didn't last more than an hour before they called me to pick her up one hour early. By the time I got there, she had settled down (just had a snack) so she was calm. I asked if she wanted to stay still but she pointed to me and wouldn't answer anyone. As soon as we left, she talked about everything that she did and said she had lotsa fun. ROTFL.

  PC. Yes, everyone we knew had hotpot before so it was kinda nice to see what they could bring to the table. Someone brought in chicken/vegetable dumplings.

  Did you enjoy the hotpot, SD?

Michel - if PC smites you, she does it ever so gently with her great featherduster so you've nothing to fear from her.

  Lise Jr. is going twice a week. I don't think she can handle more than two days. We'll see what happens. I don't really wanna scare her off so that she won't go to preschool forever.

  Man, I miss school.... I wanna go back to school and start all over again. Remember the times when you don't have to worry about life? And all you have to worry about is passing your grades? Good times. *sigh*

LOVED the Hotpot. They don't make chinese food like that back at home. I don't think I can have take out again. omg soo good. Maybe in anthropology class when I get a partner to talk about cultural differences and customs she/he can cook some chinese food and I'll try my best at the hungarian stuff.

Just got back from my first experience with universal health care. What a shocker they didn't eat me alive and were highly qualified folks not pre schoolers. (privatization proganda from the states that was driven into me at an early age bs)

Then I took a walk walked for a few hours went all the way up from downtown Nanaimo to the ferry terminal. lol.
Just got back from carrying 50lbs worth of food from the store gosh I hate that walk. Momma would not be proud no veggies or fruit.

SD- you might want to eat a piece of fruit a day.  Just because.  Universal health care or not!

Awwww....Lise, it's certainly tough to let her go for the first time to preschool.  It's great to hear that you're preparing her for kindygarten. :)))  A lot of moms skip out preschool and even kindygarten. Dunno why though.

Dinner was simple.  Canned kippered fillets by Cloverleaf with a peach and o.j.  yum yum.

Did you know that there is more omega 6 and 3 in the cloverleaf brand of sardines than the brunswick?  Oh, so worth the extra buck 50!

Hey Lil Me.

Do you shop at M&amp;M Meats?  If so, have you tried their salmon portion?  It comes in different marinades like dill and one in garlic and herb sauce.  OMGDELICIOSOS!  And they have yummy shepperd's pie, cabbage rolls.... You gotta try...so convenient and costs pretty much the same if you were to make it yourself. :))

Saw maybe 20 white pelicans also, plus 3 falcon. Happy to have discovered this area cos the Cascades are sure pretty too, but boring for my taste, with one exception, the Liberty Bell mountain is truly amazing, even under grey skies (got some sun too, but really not a lot.

I tought that it was one of the spot where he fought against the US Cavalry, but it's not the case. I talked to a Nez Perce Native named Gospel, who told me where to find his tomb (I have happy activities on my week-ends eh ? lol). He came to me when he saw I was reading the memorial panel with a revised story (not one mention e.g. that Chief Joseph and his people were blocked at the border by the Mounties cos Bitch Victoria refused to granted him political asylum with his people while they were trying to escape from the US Cavalry).[/span][/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span lang="FR-CA"][!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--] [!--[endif]--][o:p][/o:p][/span][/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span lang="FR-CA"]I was surprised, Gospel knew how to pronounced the name of is Nation in French (Nay Pair-Say).

His answer : « My mother told me, but I forgot the name ». 13 Nations have been forced to live together in that semi-arid desert, the Nez Perce been the most numerous.

 That's hilarious.  I assume the kitchen strainer is called a "China Cap" or "chinois" because it looks like a pointy chinese hat?

I was confused, so I googled it.
 
 Passoir is the regular strainer:

I don't know too much about cooking, I use to burn water, so I can not say exactly how they called that one, but I would guess passoire conique or passoire pointue wouldn't shock anybody.

ran into japanese girl...
She kept staring at me blushing or whatever/giggly. Then a bunch of esl japanese people she was with who I also talked to before started giggling. Then they said something to her in japanese. All I got in was 'how's school' she went "this my first day". Then kept looking back at me at the lunch line.

hysterical.

Ones that only come here to learn english and speak it in the classes but outside they don't talk to any of the locals or english folks and go back to their native tongue. They're in homestay

Then there's the ones that party with the canadians/internationals non esl and live in dorms.

  Problem is, they can't find me a position (or something similar) in my case because there's only one employer (eg. dentist) and one receptionist and one CDA. All in all, there's only three of us. I do agree that they should have gotten a part time CDA but it's so hard to find one that is willing to work two days/week.

  Ah well. Que sera sera. I'll just work there for a bit, get my sea-legs so to speak then perhaps find something else. Kinda ironic since I've been saying this for the last 5 years or so.

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for all your support. BIG VIRTUAL HUGS for all.

  Dropped of Lise Jr. at the preschool. So funny. She lasted five minutes before she dissolved into a ball of tears. It was my fault. I called her to give her a hug and then she broke down. I shouldn't have done that. Oh well, mental note next time: leave kid and dash off as quickly as possible.

  I got called in an hour and a half later to pick her up. She didn't even last very long. *sigh* Anyways, the teacher said it'll take time and we'll ease her in gently.

  Gee, I don't remember being 'eased' in gently. Then again I never went to preschool and my parents just dropped me off at kindergarten. I don't get this stupid mentality about needing to go to preschool these days.

  Anyways, what's shaking, everyone? Lunch today was at the food court, no surprise there.

 Well, sun is starting to come out today.  That's good because I have ZERO motivation on cloudy days.

  Lise, you'll be fine.  Has Jr made any friends yet?  I know that it's too soon, but if you befriend the mom of her friend, then the two of you could go together to preschool.  That way, Lise Jr would get distracted with her friend instead of wanting to cry.

  Lunch was cabbage rolls with an apple.

It's a way like another to do censorship... Do you think they will repeat day after day that 70 % of the population in Québec is against the war in Afghanistan?  No let's talk about murders, accidents and racists incidents blown out of proportion. Crap for the masses, that's what news have became.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 06 07 04:46
its just weird coming from an american view point. Murders are never national news unless its a school shooting or terrorism related.
And on the local news its done in passing and that's it. "Somebody was shot today blah blah blah" and that's it. lol
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Michel on Sep 06 07 05:00
It's the tabloid influence, 10 to 15 years ago, the level of seriousness of the news was way better. when you say Radio-canada, you're talking about AM radio, FM radio, regular TV or 24 hours news (RDI), cos their coverture of the news are very different. On TV, RDI is the best, by far, you'll get stuff taken directly from France, Belgium and switzerland among others sources.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Michel on Sep 06 07 06:03
ah ok CBC is not Radio-Canada, that name is reserved for the French network only, hence my confusion.

  CTV is the tabloid style, their French equivalent is called TQS (Télévision Quatre Saisons). When they appeared 15 years ago, all the other French channels "had" to get a more tabloid approach in their news coverage cos they loss millions $ in publicity.

 Canada's lucky that its only main huge problem is misunderstanding of cultures and the idea that government and other provinces don't care about what's going on in another province.
Basically what Canada needs is a marriage counselor.
I had this conversation for hours with a kid from Nanaimo who is convinced everyone outside of BC ignores BC and its issues it brings to the table.
Misunderstanding. Everyone is misunderstood.
From the Quebec politicians rallying against Rest of Canada to Western Alienation (which is a farce) politicians saying the 'east' has too much power.
Saying Atlantic Canada is just a bunch of welfare bums
Newfoundlanders are backwards
And Alberta's firewall.

Its this idea that government and people in other provinces hate somebody else in another part of the country. This is what happens in a confederation. People grow apart. The marriage counselor has to be the federal government. It must be very strong or divorces happen.

But its just silly that the biggest issue facing Canada and into the future is the non ability of understanding.
Dear Lord that's not a huge problem. You want problems I'll take you to Saint Louis. There are about 20 Saint Louis's in the states. That's problems.

Communication isn't a problem unless you make it a problem.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 06 07 11:56
kid from Port Hardy's family is all british he's the first true 'canadian'.
The other guys one is a russian immigrant. The other is from Port Alberni.

Its really simple to stop the racism/hate. Ask simple questions like "Why do you hate the french speaking person" they give the typical response: They're weak blah blah blah. They don't really have an answer they were just taught to hate the french and use it as a mask a scape goat to hide their own problems. Again communication.

Go further and ask "Have you ever been to Quebec?" and they'll all answer no. I put those people in the same category that want Harry Potter books banned from school yet have actually never read the books. You can't judge without actually having a basis for an opinion.

 For a large city like Vancouver I would guess there is an agency where you can register and work on an oncall basis if you prefer to work part time.......who do dentists call when their CDAs call in sick??  

  What you are feeling is normal, its call inertia.....you were comfortable at your old job and could probably do the work with your eyes close.  Now you're out of the comfort zone

Hi guys! Sorry but stop half-way during the chat yesterday but my connection to DS didn't work. I don't know why.

  Am feeling a bit guilty. I made Lise Jnr kissed you guys last night. Hopefully she doesn't pass the bug flu to you.

  Yep, gave her Baby Tylenol twice yesterday. Her fever broke, she's fine today. I couldn't sleep well last night because I was worried.

 Glad to hear little Lise Jr is doing better.  Not to worry about flu bugs.  We're all very hearty individuals.
 
 Hope you get a bit of rest today, Lise.  Perhaps a wee nap?
 
 Breakfast was simple and yummy.  Blueberries, cottage cheese and wheat germ.  With strong tea.

It's ok Lise... I haven't been able to catch the flu for years now.  I think that I'm immuned. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/5.gif)   Plus, it's not often that I get a cute kiss from a babee. :))))   I feel bad for making her cry... :((((

Hope SD has a good trip to Timmy Ho's.  Gotta love the "steeped tea" and the flavoured coffees (English Toffee!).
 And the Maple donut!
 
 Went to Barnston Island this morning.  Great bike ride or walk- hardly any cars there.  Got to the east end of 176st and catch the free ferry.
 
 Ate some microwaved leftovers.

We went to the Pancake Breakfast today at the Burnaby Library. OMGTEHCUTENESS of the fire fighters serving pancakes. Soooooo cute.... tall, strong, MANLY.... *sigh* You can tell I drooled on my pancakes.

  Was lovely to see the kids have so much fun. Lise Jr. is already asking if we can head there again. Maybe next year, kiddo.

  No nap. I can't sleep in the afternoon or else I won't be able to sleep tonight. Lunch was at Fish on Rice. I don't know why we bother going there because I'm making california and veggie rolls tonight. Ah well.

  Glad you hear you had a nice bike ride, Lil Me. I should really buy a bicycle so we can all go for a bike ride together.

  I love Tim Horton's steeped tea. SO GOOD!

 Back from T&amp;T.  Got some marinated sardines on sale at $0.79 per can.  Gonna try some black bean sardines and spicy sardines.
 
 Tonight's dinner is soup with BBQ duck (from freezer), tofu, greens, carrots, mushrooms, bean sprouts.  Brown rice and clear vermicelli  as well.

   hey! back from my Tim Horton's and Zellers. I had a chicken salad wrap. I keep forgetting about the small portions. Weird my roomate had a combo and it came with a doughnut. lol
Like it though.
Now I know where all the restaurants are in downtown. Should come in handy in the future knowing all the places. This town is going to change a lot, when I'm finished with school here. The downtown is in transition. Lots of development.

Went to Zellers. I've characterized it as a place that is not a wal mart (yet it has cheaper prices) but its not Target-ish enough to be a Target.

Then went to my russian roommates old house, a ukrainian family. I need to learn another language. No fun just knowing english.

Now there's a toga party next dorm buildingover. Not going, I've got reading to do.  lol  Didn't go last night  'clubbing'  because I was too tired.  Must be getting old.  

Oh and I woke up today to the smell of curry. Somebody next door was cooking it. You can hear and now smell everything. lol

  SD, what's the update with the cute Japanese chick? Any progress? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif)

  Lil Me. Your dinner sounds so healthy and delicious. I gotta get back into the groove of brown rice one of the days.... it's healthier and our dietician keeps reminding us that it's good for diabetes. I just can't stand the taste.

Uhm stalled I think.
She was with a bunch of ESL Japanese girls, I ran into her in the cafeteria. she was constantly pointing at me saying something in Japanese. Then I met up with the group. Giggles ensued. I got in how was school. She said it was her first day. She couldn't look at me always had her head down. Then more giggles from the gallery. I said see ya around. Then she kept looking at me at the lunch line.

I brought a loooooooong black wool coat that I've wanted for so long.  It's kinda weird trying coats when it was sunny out there, but for the price I paid for, it was worth it.  :)))  I can't wait to look like wampire's wife. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/4.gif)  kee hee... We had Costco food for late lunch.

I've never tried Timmy Ho's steeped tea.  I'll keep that in mind.  I like their  half hot cocoa with half decaf.  Yea, Zellers is nothing compared to Walmart and Target.  Zellers is too expensive. even with their sales.

Gonna head over to Grandma's while my guy heads out to meet some old h.s. friends at teh pub.    She's gonna teach me how to make lemon meringue pie, cookies and chicken alenorma(sp?).  I can't wait!  droolzzzzzz.....

I watched people get drunk last night. For some reason I didn't feel like drinking. Instead I watched and studied how stupid people get when drunk. lol I should write my sciology paper on that party.

But I think I've got one foot in the door at the student paper. One of the dorm buildings I'm always in has the sports editor there. We talked for about 2hrs, he'll see if he can get me a job. lol

  I see you have finally gotten over your fear of commitment Michel.......welcome.

  Our R&amp;R at Painters Lodge was fantastic.  I had a hard time tearing myself away when it was time to leave.  (which is saying something for someone who gets home sick worse than a kid.)  The food was great.....although we only ate in the Pub.  Our room was perfect.....right on the waters edge with our own patio to watch the cruise ships go by.  

  The Wildlife Adventure Tour was a blast, although the wildlife was scant.  We saw bear, sea-lions and harbour seals.  We went right through the middle of a bazillion white sided dolphins.  They were racing the boat and having a great time playing in the wake.  Those guys cut through the water like a bullet.  (that zodiac goes like stink, I tell ya)  We quietly idled by a cormorant nesting area .....straight up a vertical rock cliff.  Neat looking birds.  We went through the rapids, which was fun......really amazing to see the ocean churn into deep whirlpools.  

  We drove up to Goldriver.....which was a beautiful drive.....albeit a beautiful drive to nowhere.  I think I could become accustomed to a lifestyle which allowed me to go on these little adventures once a month.

Glad you liked the movie 300. Aren't those specimens SO BEAUTIFUL to look at? Yummy. I could look at them all day long.

  I like Tide too. Nice scent to it but I won't go beyond anything else that smells of lavender, sea-breeze or whatever. I prefer just plain smell of detergent. Nothing is nicer than the smell of fresh laundry. But that doesn't mean I like doing them though.

  PC. Use photobucket. They're pretty good and you can load and delete them to your heart's content. Just sign up on their site.

Morning!  Man, I gotta see 300 one of these days...

Flax seed oil? On fruit salad? Oh wow. Never thought of that. Where does one purchase flax seed oil? Are they expensive? How much do you use per serving?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Sep 10 07 10:40
Flax seed oil is an awesome supplement.  The bottle is usually black plastic and kept in the fridge at the grocery store or health food store.  You have to keep it refrigerated and use it before it expires- usually a couple of teaspoons a day.  You can't cook with it- the oil becomes toxic when heated.  But add it to your fruits, salads, cereals, etc. or just chug it straight.

  Class is AWESOME.
I love school. It's an escape if I'm not feeling all that great I can focus in on school and it makes me happy.
Dropping this economics class though. I don't need it, its too similiar to the three other courses I'm taking and I want to focus on geography, sociology, and social anthropology.
 
I'm pretty driven school wise, lot of people in the classes don't look interested and I've been the complete opposite. 3 years away from it did that too me. lol

I think its because in high school you don't really see a point to school. At least from my experience. But in university its like: this is it. You can see the finish line profession wise and you get all excited and want to work towards it, learn everything you can get your hands on.

 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 10 07 04:37
eh, not really. I was kicked to the curb/fell through the cracks in public school back in middle school. Haven't been in a "public" school since grade 7. (never finished grade 8)
So I never had that drive in the private schools (except history and geography all geography and history classes I never finished the year below 100% somehow lowest test score I got was a 95%) except only to rebel against the tyrant/racist religious practices of the schools.

But in high school it was like "SD you know too much (when it came to history and geography), this is bad."


Great thing about Canada is that you take what your major says you to take. So I don't have to take any prequistes that I was never ever good at.

 Weird night here.  Registration night for Scouts.  Absolute mayhem trying to run a Beaver Colony meeting with not a lot of preparation (brain still on summer vacation).
 
 Got home late, Heckyl&amp;Jeckyl fooling around instead of showering and getting ready for bed.  *sigh*  Message to call my mom.  Another relative passed away (not usual- HUGE family and many elderly people).  This time it was a reclusive great aunt.  Very sad circumstances and details unknown because the coroner is out of the office until tomorrow- apt manager says neighbours were suspicious, called police to break down the door and found her dead.  Yikes.  Now a lot of back-and-forth phone calls about when to have the memorial service and dinner.  *sigh*  Well, we're used to the funeral routine.  There have been a lot of them in the last 10 years- Hecyl&amp;Jeckyl have been to basically as many funerals as Mr LM and I have....and most of the funerals have an open casket, so we're quite used to that...

 Have you noticed- people call the mac and cheese Kraft Dinner here in Canada?  (like in the Barenaked Ladies song If I had a Million Dollars)
 
  If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to walk to the store
  If I had a million dollars we'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more
  If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to eat Kraft dinner
  "But we would eat Kraft dinner."
  "Of course we would, we'd just eat more."
  "And buy really expensive ketchups with it."
  "That's right, all the fanciest Dijon ketchups."

Hey Lil Me!

  Sorry to hear that about your auntie. Kinda makes you wonder though... how does one go through life without having any family contact? Then you wither and die a lonely death, no one beside you. So sad. I hope that will never happen to me. At least if God willing, give me the chance to say my goodbyes properly.

  KD sucks. I don't understand why kids love them though. Ugh.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

KD is comfort food for me.  This might sound kind of odd, but a lazy meal my mom used to make was "Salmon Special".  Eat KD with a can of salmon and cream of mushroom soup on top.
 
 Nowadays, if I'm gonna eat box mac and cheese, I prefer the President's Choice white mac and cheese from the StupidStore.

What's for lunch?  I just ate some brown rice with a can of spicy sardines ($0.70 at T&amp;T).  It was different because they were panfried sardines stuffed in a can.  Bit oily, but tasty.  The bones are a bit more crunchy than regular sardines.

It was hard when I did it for the first time with any company last year.  I didn't know what to write about myself.  We were given objectives and we had to give our comments.  I am better prepared this time where I've kept a "me" file throughout the fiscal year where I'd keep emails of all praises, compliments, job well-dones, tasks I've done where I went the extra mile, etc.  

  My goal is to definitely beat my rating last year.  My score affects how much of a company bonus I get in December and my salary increase.

Yep, so everyone really has to write lots and really keep track of your own performance.  We have to do the convincing of why we deserve a high rating for each objective.  It's a long process and I get stumbled in figuring out how to respond to each of my objectives.  And get this, in the end, my Manager gives the final rating.  The more I have, the more she'll be convinced of my having a higher score.

I noticed DS was down last night when I tried to get in at around 9:30ish.  It's been happening too often, I think.

  Anyways, good morning.  I watched Death Sentence last night.  Movie theatre was practically empty!  We could've.....

  Awww...Lisey... get well soon. I have a chicken soup recipe.

You take some chicken drumsticks (brown them first) then add chicken broth, carrots, celery, onions and cook.  I usually add lentils, green peas and some noodles.  You could basically add whatever you want.  Let it cook and simmer for an hour or too.

Morning all. *cough cough* Still feeling a bit under the weather but better than yesterday. I hate getting Sinutab because it makes me sleepy but I think I may need help to clear my sinus. Someone blow air into my nostrils, please!!

  Death Sentence? Never heard of that. Who does it star?  Sounds familiar though. I'm so jealous you get to go to movies, purelife. Waaaah!!! A few more years of being at home... just a few more.....

  SD. I'm surprised you didn't teach the girl anything else... how about the LANGUAGE OF LOVE for crying out loud?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Hi Lise.

  Are you feeling better today?  

  Death Sentence stars Kevin Bacon.  I know that when I have wee lil ones soon, I won't be able to watch or do anything.  These are the sacrifices that the parents have to make when they have young kids.

  I edited my last post from the last page with a chicken soup recipe or an idea.  I hope that perhaps your hubby or mom-in-law can prepare this for you.  Or, bring home some congee like LM suggested. :))

Good morning regulars.....lol

  Sorry to hear you're still feeling like crap Lise.  The gal on DATW posted a chicken soup 'recipe' almost identical to how I make chicken soup.....including the 'whatever' you got around part.  It's never the same twice....but always yummy.

  SD....don't read to your friend.  Yer an enabler.....rofl   Tell her if she's been here for 15 years, it's time to learn how to read.

 How's your self evaluation going, purelife?
 
 Hope Lise is better.  Lise- went to the dentist today.  2.5 units of scaling needed.  Is that bad?  Thanks for the advice you gave me earlier about my nightguard- dentist said to keep wearing it until it breaks.  (15 years and counting...)
 
 Lunch with mom after the dentist.  Was nice to sit with her.  Usually it's crazy with 80 bazillion relatives running around and we don't actually get to talk.

 It was on the invoice.  It's possible if you have a dental plan, that you don't see the invoice.  But I don't have a plan, so I need to pay :(
 But no cavities! :)
 
 Mom took me to a bistro near her place.  She had a cheese/pear tart with salad, and I had a duck leg confit with panfried potatoes and a frisee salad.  (I don't usually like frisee lettuce, but this one was in a VERY garlicky vinaigrette).
 
 A friend just invited me to her place for dinner, so NO COOKING TONIGHT!!!

She can read she just says words wrong. My Oma (grandma) has been in the states for 67 years and she still has broken english. One word she said wrong was acreage. Instead of Ache-ridge she said Ah-cree-edge.

  Finished my english paper which is due in two weeks. lol When did I become mr. studies/nerd?

  I can see the advantages to finishing assignments way before they are due though. You get lots of free time.

Post by: Lise on Sep 12 07 06:52
It is not unusual to have two to two and a half or three scaling units. Make sure you're getting your money's worth though. Each unit is about 15 mins worth of scaling.

  Still under the weather but improving. My sinus is killing me.... ARGH!!! Damn, it's so hot here.

I need a haircut too. I'm heading to the mall and getting one. Stupid hair.... Well, if you don't mind the budget, there's always lousy Great Clips. Good for men and dead cheap. They're usually at Zellars.

  Off to preschool with Lise Jr. Here's hoping she won't cry this time. *sigh*

  Good news about my job hunting. It's easier than I thought. I'm just going to hand out a few resumes and see how it goes. Hopefully find one that's closer to my home. I might even go back to my old workplace when I first started as a praticum student and see if they need someone there for a couple of days.

  Yup.  That was his first exposure as a singer.  His role was a young man who refused to sing ever again after his mother died. He use to sing in the church, but was angry at god for taking his mom.  It was a really touching show.

  Immediately after it aired, they were flooded with calls and his carreer had an unpresidented jump start.

  Gotta run.....enjoy the rest of the morning

  Lise Jnr. cried again. Man. For 15 mins she was hollering for me. "Mummy, don't leave me! Waah!!" over and over again. I stood outside the door, feeling like the worst thing in the world. Took all my nerve just to walk away. I kept coming back every 15 mins just to stand outside the door. Geez. She was fine afterwards. I guess kids go through separation anxiety.

  Thanks for the words of encourage with the job. I'm sure it'll all come back. And yes, you'll have to be in the right atmosphere. I just hope I don't end up with a crappy asshat dentist. Good ones are hard to find. Oh gawd... I just hope I remember how to take radiographs... meh.....

  Lunch today was that rice roll from T&amp;T. Good stuff. For $3, you can get a really good lunch. I managed to feed all three of us with that plus a sweet bun. LOL.

well I'm on a super tight budget. Might have to pull and Oma circa 1940's Ukraine and search the dumpsters.
will make a salad and another quesadilla.

so cous cous is a side dish. I'm malnurished lol. I eat 'side dishes' as meals.

Well, it's like pasta.  It IS pasta......at least it is made from the same semoliina flour as pasta.  It's good with a stew or by itself.....but you might want to round it out with a piece of fruit and some veggies.

  You should ask one of your buddies to take you to a farmers market.  Right now you can pick up all kinds of fruit and veggies.  A HUGE bag of carrots will last a long time.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Sep 13 07 06:48
I love QF.  BUT.....if you got together with a few buddies and bought some bulk produce and split it up.....you'd all do pretty well financially and nutritionally.  And as much as I love QF....they don't have the same prices the local farmers markets do, when it comes to produce. (and it's FRESHER and yummier)

I haven't been to Save On or Superstore yet. People tell me its cheaper there. But i dunno I kind of like the idea of buying on made in Vancouver Island and BC products at QF.
Farmers market is tomorrow. I'll check it out.

Sportsdude you egotistical, self centered, narcissistic little prick. It's not all about you every freakin waking minute. Did you ever notice how often you are the last post???? Why do you suppose that is. You don't give a rats ass for the feel of the thread, or what conversations are going on, you always just make it about ME, ME, ME, ME, ME.

ENOUGH

I used to post here but I got tired of having you jump on every new post whether or not you had something salient to contribute, and I see that hasn't changed. You see 'new' and you  have to post.

lol guys that wasn't josh gorban it was Justin Trudeau.

How arrogant that you thought people couldn't tell the difference, you never thought that someone else might have posted?? See what I mean about not caring about other conversations, I bet you don't.

Also, it's easy to see why racism is still so prevelant in the U.S. when you feel the need to identify your "friends" by their race or nationality. How tolerant and progressive of you.

This is DS and the S stands for Seattle not Sportsdude.

Good morning.

  Terry Fox run is such a good cause.  (I still cry for him)

  No plans for me this weekend.....although we have been tossing around the notion of going to Victoria to see the Titanic exhibit.  A friend went, and said it was amazing.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 14 07 10:00
Yes, he is a true Canadian hero. Are you doing the walk, Lil Me?

  Not much happening with us. I've dropped off our car for some body work. Hubby hit a pole. Boy, it was damn expensive everywhere. Craftsman Collision charged double the work so we went to this little run down place and got a much cheaper quote. Took the car to Maaco and asked if they would match it and they said yes. Good thing we went around asking for different estimates. It pays to shop around.

  Looks like a lovely day. I might take the kiddies out for a brief spell in the sunshine.

 I've heard great things about that as well and one day, will go there because my guy is a HUGE Titanic fan.  Ssssshhhh...maybe I'll surprise him on his bday....Now, that's a good idea.  Hopefully, it's still on. :)))

It's still going on? It was on the last time we were in Victoria... I think back in May. Didn't have the chance to go, as if the kids would enjoy the exhibition.

  The last time we went Lise Jr. was so scared of the wooly mammoth (spelling?). Yeah, nothing like a giant wooly elephant and lightning flashing all over the place to scare a wee one.

  You should go, SD. If you're in Nanaimo, you should try going down to Victoria when you get the chance.

You get a replica of a boarding pass of an actual Titanic passenger upon entering.  Then you find out, whether you were a survivor or not.  

  Our friend said he was amazed at the amount of stuff that is in this exhibit.  He said he wasn't aware that much had been retrieved.

Oooh.... that such a good idea, getting a boarding pass like you would get on the Titanic and then wondering if you survived the crash or not. I'm hoping the exhibition will come back in the near future so our kids can get the chance to see it.

  Took the dog out on car ride today. Bloody dog kept barking and yapping all the way there and back. I felt sorry for not taking him out as often especially when he looked at me with his cute eyes and then when I do take him out, I remember why I didn't take him in the first place. ARGH!! Never get a chihuahua if you can help it.

I've tried several times with Imageshack.....and although I've had success there before, it is doing nothing for me.

  Frankly, we didn't get a lot of great pics.  Nobody wanted to have their head stuck behind the camera when there was wildlife there.  When we went through the pod of dolphins, hubby put the camera on 'burst', and just held it, so he wouldn't miss what was going on in real life.

  Most of the pics are good 'memory pics'.....but not so good in the wildlife photography class.

Not such a great pic.....but you get the idea.  That burst function on the camera is pretty cool.  You just hit the 'burst' button, and it will just keep clicking off pic after pic.  We had about 40 pics of this few moments through the dolphins......LOL

Hmm... some lovely pictures, PC. Are those from your vacation?

  Well, got a phonecall from a possible dentist looking to hire. Problem is, he's all the way in Coquitlam, too far to commute. I had to say no. It feels good to be able to feel wanted. I gotta get out and buy the Vancouver Sun today for more.

  I'm also hoping that this other dentist might hire me. He's the dentists my friend works on and off. There's a girl there that wants to job share so it's perfect for me. Problem is there's this other girl who doesn't know if she wants to stay on or go. *sigh*

  I suspect the girl's that replaced me... she probably won't last. Funny, funny... just a feeling I get.

  Anyways, what's everyone doing today?

Well that didn't take long to get a bite on your resume. (a little dental humour)  Good for you Lise.

  How are you feeling ?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 15 07 10:47
LOL! Good one, PC.

  I'm feeling good. Better than before, thanks for asking.

  Uhm... is it me or is DS crashing on and off? I keep getting error messages all over. Sometimes I just give up.

  Anyways, I gotta run, gotta do some work on the garden shed.

  You have a good day, Lady PC.

 Russ- your chicken sounds mighty good.
 
 Lise- hang in there.  You'll find the perfect job.  Patience, little grasshopper...
 
 I had a brutal morning.  During Heckyl's violin lesson, Jeckyl threw a fit at the music school.  I hauled him outside until he calmed down, but there was kicking and yelling and carrying on for 15 minutes.  *sigh*  I think I handled it ok, because I didn't yell back like I usually do!  Things are ok now.  Need...a...cup...of...tea.
 
 Grapes, cheeser, pumpernickel bread and almonds for snack.

Hey all!

  Wow, Lil Me... I guess all kids throw temper tantrums at the most inconvinient time! LOL.

  OMG. Just finish with the &amp;*&amp;%^%^&amp;&amp;*(&amp;**&amp;( garden shed. My fingers are now like jelly... we hauled off the slabs one by one because hubby insisted that we do it properly. Lay down the barrier after the slabs were gone then re-slab the whole thing then poured jointing sand to cover the cracks. There better NO BE ANY DAMN MOULD come winter time or I'm gonna scream my head off.

  BTW, does anyone know anything about jointing sands... like do you have to wet it to set? There's no instructions on it about wetting so I'm just wondering if it's ok to leave it as is....
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Sep 15 07 03:32
Good job Lise.

  As far as I know, you use a stiff corn broom to sweep it into the cracks, then wet it.  It hardens and sets up as it dries.

 If its just sand without cement it will never set.  If its mortar (cement &amp; sand) carefully sprinkle joints with water.  It ok as is also......eventually moisture from air and ground will harden it.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Sep 15 07 04:04
I think jointing sand is meant to be set.  You need to flood it with water 2 or 3 times.  Lise.....aren't there instructions on the bag ?

  One think I remember for sure, is to make sure there is no sand left on the concrete before you put water on it.

 PC - Burst function sounds interesting!  I've never heard of that, probably because my camera is verrrrrrrry basic.  I can imagine myself using that feature for baby's first steps or for my wedding photos where "now, you get to kiss the bride." :)))))  Thanks for mentioning that because I'll be looking for that feature for our next camera.

RUSS RUSS BABY!  HI HI HI!  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/4.gif)  

Lil Me - Maybe Jeckyl was tired?  Kids are good at throwing tantrums to test mommy and daddy's patience.... *sigh*

Lise - That's great to hear, Lise.  You'll find your job in no time.  :))))

Gophie - love your avatar!!

Today, we spent the day getting errands done.  Tomorrow, we'll probably go swimming. :)))

   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Sep 15 07 04:13
It's a very cool function purelife.  I already don't know how I lived without one.  One source of great frustration with our last camera, is the time delay after taking a pic.....and nine times out of 10....the best pic is two seconds after you took the first one.

  Burst rattled off about 40 pics.  It's great, because you then have the option of selecting the frame that best captured the subject....and dump the rest.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 15 07 04:30
Oh, I know what you mean about the delay in between pictures, especially trying to get kids to sit still.  :)))

Can you program the burst just to do 20?  Or, are you stuck with 40.  

One basic feature that I enjoyed was the black and white option.  

Oh, and thanks for sharing those pics earlier.  I liked the one with the rippled waves.  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Sep 15 07 04:36
Thanks purelife.  They weren't the best of pictures.  The one where you can see the side of the orange zodiac....the waters are FULL of dolphin.

  The burst function is programable to whatever you like.  Hubby had it set on continuous.  It will keep taking frame after frame until you release the shutter.  (kinda like what model photographers do)  It's also great to catch the moments AFTER a posed picture.  Much nicer and more natural.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 15 07 05:26
Waaah.... I don't know the picture you guys are talking about!!

  No instructions on the 8lb bag of sand. Just that it sait, it's a jointing sand. I assumed you don't need water because it didn't say so. Anyways, I'm sure moisture will settle in as 49er say and it'll harden in time. The floor under the slabs were... shall we say, sufficiently moist so it's probably a good thing we had a barrier underneath.

  I feel so sad for the little insects we had to kill in the way of progress. Hubby said centipedes are killers because they'll crawl into your ears and eat  your ear drums away. Way to say that in front of a 3 year old kid! Hmph!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

If it's a jointing sand Lise.....you will need water (lots of water).  I'm pretty sure.  Give HD a call....they will be glad to give you some tips.  Moisture won't be enough.  You have to flood it with water at least 3 times about 10 or 20 minutes apart.

 If its just sand I agree with PC........you need lots of water to consolidate the sand and fill all the voids

 If its cement mixture you need water to create grout......but not too much to wash out the cement.  I suspect jointing sand is just sand filler. Flooding will also help wash the sand and fill the voids underneath the slab

Post by: P.C. on Sep 15 07 07:54
There is some kind of compound in jointing sand.  (otherwise, I think it would just be sand.  Also, I'm not sure what IS in it, or what kind Lise has)  The only experience I've had with it, was setting paving stones. (mind you, that was a mighty long time ago)  and I recall having to soak the bejeezers out of it.

 For pavers it's normally plain sand and the sand is vibrated into the joints to lock them together.....without a vibratory plate or roller the next best thing is flooding

Good for you, SD! Keep practising your chopstick skills! I can't explain how to use it but keep on practising and you'll get the hang of it. Suggest you get those disposable ones and practise when you can. Lise Jr. practise with one of those fancy chopstick kiddie handlers but you can use a rubber band to tie your sticks together.

  Did you enjoy the sushi?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 16 07 12:35
loved the sushi. Yeah my roommate was like, you're going to eventually live here, you've got to learn quickly.

there's some chop sticks in the cafeteria here. I'll take some for learning.
loved the sushi and the tea they give you to go with it.
I felt like I was home in the town. So easy to get around plus so many people walking the streets. So much to do to. Gosh if you like outdoor activities I don't know how you could go bored in Vancouver. And I didn't even venture into granville! lol
next time.

Post by: Lise on Sep 16 07 12:37
Yeah, that would be green tea that you're having. Good for you! I'm happy you're going to take the time to learn how to use chopsticks. Imagine using it for noodles in soup... now that's going to be interesting.

  You should take up hiking, SD. Lovely mountains and trails. I'm sure you can find lots of wonderful trails in Nanaimo too.

  Was it your first time eating sushi?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 16 07 12:40
lol no I've had sushi before at home. I learned that you shouldn't eat it with a diet coke/pepsi etc because it will make your stomach do flips. The tea was excellent. First time in a 'sushi restaurant' and eating with chop sticks.

  Got good news. One job interview on Monday morning. I'm nervous and then again, I'm not because I know there are so many dentists out there and I can get my pick of them. Still... a job interview is like scanning your brains for bad marks. Ah well. Wish me luck folks.

   Uhm... OK. I'm so confused here. Maybe I'll just take a picture of the bag and show you guys when I get the chance.

  I'd have a tendency to lean towards 49ers advice on this one.  I'm notorious for doing what I THINK I'm supposed to do on these things, intstead of what's REALLY supposed to be done.  I still think a quick call to Home Depot would solve your problem.

Thanks for the support, Ms. PC.

  Yeah, ok... you're probably right. I should call HD and ask them about it since I got the stuff from them anyways. On the flip side, it's raining and I've swept the sand out to cover some cracks. Maybe I'll go and check in on them and see if it sticks together.

Broken Social Scene
Stars
Feist
oh so good.

Then the Montreal bands

 Feist's single Mushaboom is in an ad for Lacoste perfume.  McDonald's offered her one million dollars for the rights to use "Mushaboom" in their commercials she refused.

 Her single, My Moon My Man is on Verizon Wireless commercial and the chocolate cell phone one.  In the advert, the name of both the song and artist appears on the phone in closeup.

lol those guys are funny. When asked why do you sing in french when all the montreal bands are singing in english they're like. "well we sing in french not for patriotic reasons, but because well everyone else is singing in english." lol that's the spirit.

 Feist is an excellent buy.

Yeah its tough at first P.C. I started with Arcade's Fire Haiti and Une Anne Sans Luimiere which part are in english and part are in french. Gradually went from there, now I can understand french in songs. lol
Most Arcade Fire songs are a mix of both. Of their new album the Song Black Waves/Bad Vibrations are a brilliant mix of the two languages. The lead singers wife who is Haitian French Quebecer and the husband leader singer who fled the states to Montreal (he's from Texas). She sings in french through the first part of the song and then he sings in english. brilliant.

Sort of like watching a foreign language film. You don't just read the sub titles you find away to glance at both at the same time then you get sucked into the movie where you don't even notice you're paying attention to the subtitles and still following along.

example of what Arcade Fire does
Haiti (its a song about the lead singers wife homeland and the oppression they faced)

Haiti, mon pays,
 wounded mother I'll never see.
 Ma famille set me free.
 Throw my ashes into the sea.
 
 Mes cousins jamais nes
 hantent les nuits de Duvalier.
 Rien n'arrete nos espirits.
 Guns can't kill what soldiers can't see.
 
 In the forest we are hiding,
 unmarked graves where flowers grow.
 Hear the soldiers angry yelling,
 in the river we will go.
 
 Tous les morts-nes forment une armee,
 soon we will reclaim the earth.
 All the tears and all the bodies
 bring about our second birth.
 
 Haiti, never free,
 n'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarme.
 Tes enfants sont partis,
 in those days their blood was still warm

They sing it slow, so you can follow around easily and like most languages the slower the easier it is to understand.

Good afternoonie, folks!

  Well, I just went for my interview. OMGWTH. Dentists are bloody cheapskate. He was asking several $$$ below. To top it off, he goes, 'You're quite green because you haven't been doing this for 1 year, right?' WTH? Anyways, I was morally insulted. You don't pay me that low after being in the business for 6 years, damnit!

  Anyways, he wants me to try out for 2 days of working interview which I would have to decline. There's no point in working for a cheapskate dentists. I'd be lucky to see a 50 cent pay hike after 3 months probation period. Hmph.

  Anyways, not to worry. I'll probably be going around Metrotown tomorrow and handling out resumes. I should score something.

Oh BTW, just checked out the jointing sand outside. It doesn't stick after the rain so I guess I'm not going to wet it.

  It stayed relatively dry inside except for a few wet patches on the side. I think it's probably because we blocked the side of the shed with gravel and there's no way for water to run down. I might have to create a drain pipe or something for the water to go down.

Geesh, Lise.  It was probably not worth working for him then.  It sounds like he's finding excuses to pay you less than what you're worth and there are plenty of these cheapskates who would pay minimum wage if need be.  6 years of experience certainly doesn't spell entry level!  GRRR!  

  I'm sure that you'll land a good one soon, Lise. :)

Holy crap Lise.  You'll find better.....don't worry.  You're 'green' because you haven't worked for a year ?  That's just plain bs.

  (I'm not understanding your jointing sand comment.  It's NOT sticking so you DON'T need water?  I would think if it's not sticking you DO need water)

[FONT face=Univers-CondensedBoldOblique color=#231f20 size=3] [P align=left]So accordint to this....you don't need water for jointing sand.   But also according to this, jointing sand should be use for [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffbf"]interlocking pavers[/FONT].   It is supposed to be done yearly.  Stabilizing sand should be used for 'straight sided' pavers. (like square concrete flat blocks.)  Stabilizing sand is also more beneficial for a moisture problem.  

 [P align=left]

 [P align=left]Why choose jointing sand?

[/FONT][FONT face=Univers-CondensedBoldOblique color=#231f20 size=2] [P align=left]Jointing sand is specifically formulated and manufactured for interlocking paving installations.

 [P align=left]Proper jointing sand assures a proper lock for the installed products ensuring interlock integrity and

 [P align=left]not compromising installation performance.

[/FONT][FONT face=Univers-CondensedBoldOblique color=#231f20 size=3] [P align=left]How to apply jointing sands (New Installations)

[/FONT][FONT face=Univers-CondensedBoldOblique color=#231f20 size=2] [P align=left]1/ Jointing Sand [/FONT][FONT face=Univers-CondensedOblique color=#231f20 size=2]– spread jointing sand liberally over the entire installation. Sweep jointing sand in all

 [P align=left]directions over the joints making sure to fill in all the joints. Due to settling, repeat this process in

 [P align=left]successive days to ensure joints are packed and full of sand. Usually 2 or three applications are

 [P align=left]required.

[/FONT][FONT face=Univers-CondensedBoldOblique color=#231f20 size=2] [P align=left]2/ Stabilizing Sand [/FONT][FONT face=Univers-CondensedOblique color=#231f20 size=2]– Sweep Stabilizing sand into the joints, sweeping in all directions to ensure joints are

 [P align=left]full. Sweep the surface clean ensuring all sand has been removed. Spray water onto the installation in

 [P align=left]a fine mist making sure to saturate the installation. Once the stabilizing sand settles (24hrs), top up the

 [P align=left]joints with more stabilizing sand, water once again and allow 6 to 24 hours for proper set-up.

[/FONT][FONT face=Univers-CondensedBoldOblique color=#231f20 size=2] [P align=left]3/ Polymeric Sand [/FONT][FONT face=Univers-CondensedOblique color=#231f20 size=2]– Sweep polymeric sand into the joints of the installation making sure that the surface

 [P align=left]is completely clean of sand and dry when sweeping is complete. Using a garden hose or sprinkler, wet

 [P align=left]the pavement with a fine mist at least three times for 5 to 10 minute intervals, so as to gradually soak

 [P align=left]the joints. Do not flood the surface. Let dry for at least 24 hours to ensure proper set up.

Uhm... Michel are you offering to go out naked in the woods so you can attract tourists? I just scrolled the past few pages so I haven't been paying attention.

  Got the call back from the dentist. I called them this morning to say no, I wasn't interested in going ahead with the work interview. She called back to ask why and I said, to be frank, I wasn't getting paid for when I working at my former office which was true. She asked how much and I quoted the figure, she said she can't match that. Tough luck. Well, I wished them all the best.

  You know you can kinda tell they're cheap the moment you walk into the office... I should have stopped then and there. Ah well. If anything, it gives me good practise for interviews ahead.

  Michel - What are you talking about?  It was POURING a few minutes ago, but then it stopped.  You'll need an umbrella, m'dear, unless you plan to capture rain in your water bottle to save as samples for back home. ;)  Sears/The Bay - CHEAP!

 P.C.- What's the bear report today?
 
 No dinner for me tonight.  I had lunch twice today!  I had eaten lunch already, then my mom wanted to meet me and talk, so we went to the food court in the Crystal Mall.  I can see why Lise loves that place.  We shared a tofu dish, a green beans dish and some rice with two cups of tea ($4.75) and also had two grilled yams ($1.11).  Heckuva deal.
 
 Lise- I was actually looking for those soup dumplings you've talked about, but I couldn't see any.
 
 This weather has been crazy today.  Sun.  Rain.  Storm.  Sun.  Rain.
 
 Michel- yes, you probably need an umbrella (or a rain jacket with a hood) and some waterproofing spray for your shoes.  Same goes for SD.

Hi Lise

A couple of thoughts on your quest.

1) Look for a multi-doctor practice. It is much easier to afford quality staff when the expenses are shared and with more Dr's. Also with a larger staff flexible/part-time scheduling is more common and easier to accomodate.

2) Look for a practice that invests in patient perceptions of their practice i.e. they spend money on their leaseholds, patient comforts and new technology. These Dr's realize that patients have a choice and work to keep them. The Dr's that have this mindset, generaly have the same feeling towards their staff.

3) Ask them what they provide for continuing education for their staff. Dr's who do this have a strong desire to retain, not retrain.

4) Check out their websites. Do they give you a good feel? Do they show the staff or just focus on the Doc? A good practice realizes that they can't do it all and that their staff is as important as they are in the patients eyes.

You are the driver in today's employment market, take a little while to do your research, you're worth it.

Good Luck!

 If you don't call it an "official date" then why did you just announce that you had just been on a "date?"  How come you don't make sense?  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Thinking/3.gif)  

And, goodness gracious, hanging out with a girl doesn't mean that you've been on a date.  You totally sound so green in this area of "female" friends.

Lil Me - the dumplings? They should be at T &amp; T in the frozen section. Under gow gee or something like that. I know they're located in the middle section of T &amp; T Metrotown, just beside the fish ball section. There's a whole long row of frozen stuff, they should be located there.

   LOL!!

 I spoke too soon. Roommate was watching CNN Headline news just to laugh at how silly the american media was. After the OJ case, its about Britney and her court appointed parent guide to teach her how to raise kids and her random drug testing because she's an habitual user.

 The other roommate emailed me asking shouldn't the media be covering something else more important? I said this is important, to the people. Its what they want. Live vicariously through celebrities because they have nothing to live for in their own lives.

tv channels, people magazine are only here because the people want it. Then the companies control us, for example BBC World is more or less restricted in being shown in the states.

Illegal immigration, the right is worried that these people will bring their view of the world on the 'capitalist society'.

I know those little nubbies you're talking about Lil Me.

  I also have had black clothes that get spots on them that look like 'water marks'.  It was worse when I used powdered detergent....but even get it with liquid detergent.  I find that if I fill the washer first....then swish around the soap.....THEN put the clothes in......it's better.  

  *also.....wash your blacks inside out.

I wear lots of dark clothes that have a bit of lycra/spandex.  I stick to cold water, turn them inside out, and use a liquid detergetn made for dark colours like Cheer or Woolite.  I used to use regular liquid detergent (my favourite is Tide Free), but when we got the front-load washer I found the dark clothes were getting white spots even though I was usuing the same detergent (and much less, like 1.4 cup).  When I switched to Cheer Dark the white spots disappeared, so I wonder if there's something special about that kind of detergen in combination with front-loaders.  I never had the white spot problems with the top-loader and the Tide Free coz I'd fill the tub up with water then detergent and get it mixed well before adding the clothes.  Can't do that with the front-load..

Yes, white streaks and spots.  Looked like I'd spilled bleach on the clothes, but after rubbing them and putting through another load without soap the spots went away, so it was soap residue.  Happened all the time with powder detergent, and we have soft water, that's why I switched to Liquid Tide.  Now coz of the front-load I had to switch again to Cheer Dark.  I think there's something about the lycra or spandex that it just grabs the detergent and the foam just embedds into the fabric, making it white.  The streaks/spots were not grainy or anything, couldn't feel anything different   Really bizarre stuff.

  rofl....I couldn't agree more.

The program I watched said the 'specialty' detergents cost 5 to 10 cents more per load......which adds up to a hefty sum in the lifetime of a washing maching.  Not all warranties have this same 'little flaw'.....so if it matters to you.[img id=fetchSessionTemp alt="" src="http://discoverseattle.net/forums/Themes/default/images/blank.gif"]..check the one you have.

Afternoon Lil Me, Lise, Sawdust and everyone else who logs in later or who are lurking.

  I was lucky this morning to not get involved with skytrain problems.  That explains why I saw too many people at the platform than normal.  Last night, they had problems during rush hour.  *sigh*  When fall/winter comes, skytrain almost always has problems.  Last year, was absolutely horrid!  

  Wow, that's great to know that there's such a demand for you, Lise.  Me happy 4 U! :))

  Lunch was butter chicken and an apple.

Agree with you, purelife. It's always in the worst of times when the skytrain have problems. Meh. The worst is getting stuck on the train itself for a long time and it feels so cramp in there.

Oh no....

  Skytrain problems AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  GRRR!  I hope that this clears up soon.

This announcement from website:

body on a stretcher was the body in a bag? Might have just been a heart attack. Strecher can mean anything. I'm sure it will be in the news if it is serious. I remember last year and the guy riding his bike on the tracks. lol

 Doll, it's either C or (D) murder (yes, people die at public transit stops in Vancouver--you're not in Kansas anymore, Toto).  Skytrain won't close down if it was a heart attack or someone in labour as that's a scoop and run.  It stopped because something happened on the tracks.  

  Hope you guys get home okay, albeit a bit late.  Sad to hear things like this where people die this way, such as in Calgary like SD said.

Actually I spent 15 to 20 minutes at the place. Non druggies were talking to druggies. Its depressing its not urban decay or demoralizingly scary bad where you lock your doors and drive quicker. (although I've heard the back alleys are)

It's all in the eye of the beholder SD.  It's more that just a visual cess pool.....it's reputation is long and old.  Not only would I not walk in that part of the city.....I don't even like driving through there.  

  Probably there are parts of town where you come from, that without knowing the history may not appear to be as bad to an out of towner as to those who live there and know it.

They're shipping all the homeless to Nanaimo, Comox, Cambell River, Port Hardy etc. Giving them a ferry ticket.
Atlanta did the same thing shipped their insane amount (much more then Vancouver) out before the olympics to outer cities. They all traveled back eventually.

People that work at shelters in Nanaimo. They ask where they (homeless) came from they all said someone gave them a ferry ticket. Plus my roommate from Port Hardy said there's now a bunch of homeless people up their that weren't orginally from Port Hardy.

So Vancouver is dumping its problem on all of us here on the island.

no pretty much everyone I've talked to has said so, from somebody who works within the RCMP to homeless shelter workers to kids from the towns along the coast. They've all noticed a rise in homeless  people in their towns that weren't there before. They are going to move them out. Every town does this when they have the olympics.

49er.....hubby bought me Feist's, The Reminder yesterday.  It's very nice.  She's got a Nora Jonesish/Sade kind of sound on some cuts.  The most unique thing about it was the CD case.  Never seen anything like it.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 20 07 11:00
SADE!!
just ask my friend who said that's who she sounds like. She's like the music know all.

went on a beer run just got about killed by a couple drunk teens flying 100kph past a stop sign. crazy idiots. lol it was right by the cop shop. too, not very bright.

 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 21 07 08:54
I have to agree with you that her CD cover is interesting.  It's been a while since I've seen something creative and original.  I like Feist's My Moon My Man, 1234 and Intuition.  She kinda sounds like Jewel, Jan Arden and of course Sade. :)

  I'll buy this CD for my mom.  She enjoys these types of music.  Thanks for pointing out PC. :))

Heya purelife!

  Sorry, I had to step out a bit. The kids just woke up and I can't spend too much time here much longer.

  Toni Braxton was bankrupt the last time I heard about her. Not sure though. But yeah, she does have a fine voice.

  A birthday party with family for Lise Jr. Jr.'s very 1st birthday. I can't believe one year has already passed! My little one is one year old. I have to go out and buy helium balloons for her because she loves balloons.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 21 07 09:55
Awww...happy burdy to sweetie. :))  

  Not sure if you know this, but you could buy balloons for a buck and then take them to a dollar store to have them helium filled for about 75 cents to a dollar per balloon.  They fill and provide teh string.  It's cheaper this way.  I know that Save On Foods charges a buck to fill balloons.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 21 07 10:22
Yeah, I'm actually heading to the dollar store to do that but I'm very particular about ballons. I hate those rubber ones... I guess I freak out whenever I hear that squeeky sound (ugh, getting goosebumps) so I always have to have those aluminium ones. I'm getting two of them today and they cost about $2 each.

Gotta go, everyone.  Heckyl and Jeckyl have no school today, so we're heading into the city.  We need to be in Vancouver for a family dinner tonight (cousin's baby banquet).  I dug through my desk drawer to find some red envelopes- found some cute Winnie the Pooh ones, but I'm probably giving Happy New Year envelopes to the baby....*sigh* not that he'll know the difference...neither will the parents for that matter....
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 21 07 01:14
Hey, I've got some cute red packet ones too. They're all Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Yeah, I don't think baby will appreciate the cuteness but it's the gesture that counts, I guess.

  Never had a baby banquet and I've never been to one but it's supposed to be the Chinese thing to do after the newborn arrives. Too much of a hassle if you ask me.

  Got an interview next week Thursday with a dentist. OMG. Scary because the name sounds so damn familiar. Like I know friends who's been there before so I'm not sure.... ick.... *fingers crossed* that this dentist isn't the same one.

Luckily it was only for 5 minutes.  Wait when Vancouver starts to have more howling winds and some snow.  Last year, there were way too many service disruptions between Nov and January.  Hopefully, this year will be ok.  At least, hopefully, they are done with track maintenance.  Last year, was terrible.

So....no bear sightings the last couple days.  Although they have left there mark all over the road below my driveway......lol   I'd love to see one again.  We had one a couple years ago, that came right up on the porch, with his nose on the glass in the door.

  I was running around frantically....shouting to hubby....."where's the camera, where's the camera"  When I finally found it and came up to the door....only inches from the glass separating us......and clicked off a few pics.  I was feeling pretty smart, until I finally noticed that hubby was standing there the whole time with the video camera rolling......LOL

I'm always attentive to their possible presence, Michel.  

  I have been thinking about going to the local grocery stores to ask for the produce that has passed it's 'best before' date, to take up to a nearby lake to drop off for the poor fellows.  They must be hungry to risk their normally shy existence to come looking for food here.

 I see that you've good intention but if you do that, make sure it's a totally remote place where nobody goes cos the bear will think it's a food place from now on and they will go there regularly. Actually, it's probably a really bad idea cos you'll acostumed them to human food.



Rest assured that they'll be able to manage to find food, you don't live in a desert.

  It is remote.  And I've given some thought to the danger involved in the possibility of making them become accustomed to human food.  But I distinguish 'human food' as food they find in 'human inhabited' places.  Otherwise....do they know the difference?  I mean, the only thing that drives them into these areas, is that they're not finding food in their own world.  *cry*

 Are they skinny ? You know they eat non stop at this time of the year to prepare for winter. I'm sure they will find. anyway, if you give them food (assuming that the local supermarket give you some) you'll have to do it everyday to make a difference and then the bear will really depend on you to get feed. And you know what happen to these animals, they have to be shot.



Definitly not a good idea.



a few rotten apple left behind in a safe place on occasion is something. More than that it's a bad idea.

These are not your pets, but wild animals, enjoy from a distance and with your camera. How would you feel if they have to shoot a bear after he began lurking around the place where you leave food and people are scared for thetr pet, their kids or even themselves ?

  I know that too.  That is exactly my thinking.....to slip them some goodies AWAY from the neighbourhood.  Sure enough, someone is going to call somebody to come and remove them....and I don't trust what that means.

  I'm very respectful of animals and the fact that WE have taken up residence on THEIR territory.  I also know interfering is a bad idea.  It all just makes me very sad.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c020.gif" border=0]

 Happy to Lise Jr Jr!  Hope everyone had a fun party.  I'm sure the family enjoyed your homemade burgers.  What spices do you put in your burger meat, Lise?
 
 Leftovers for dinner here after a long day.  Went to Playland with Heckyl&amp;Jeckyl and one of their friends.  Mr LM and I were pleasantly surpised that the Playland "Guardian Pass" is only about $11 per adult- and that it includes rides.  We thought we would be standing around holding jackets and water bottles, but we got to ride as well.  WooHoo!
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 22 07 09:35
$11 per adult is still expensive. I can still remember when Playland was like $5 each or something like that. The PNE is double the price. Ridiculous.

  That's a really nice Dora cake. Lise Jr. is starting to recognized Dora. She'd point out Dora and go 'Dor...' Can't quite manage to say the rest but she's catching on that this is what her big sister loves to watch.

  But didn't (at some past time), this price did not include rides ?  Everything was separate.  $11 sounds good to me, if it include the rides too.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 22 07 09:50
Hey Ms. PC,

  Yes, it included the rides. Everything was cheaper back then and now it's not. Literally everything's double in Vancouver and it wasn't that long ago when I was here 10 years ago.

  I do like the rides at Playland but can't go on most of them on account of Lise Jr. too short to meet the height requirement. I guess it's a good deal if your kids can go on the rides.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Sep 22 07 09:55
Good evening Miss Lise

  I love the rides....so I'm probably not very objective about whether the prices are good or not....lol

  I just remember (maybe longer ago than I thought) that a pass to Playland or the PNE was only the cost to enter.  It didn't include squat.  So all that has changed now ?

Hey Lise....changing the subject a little (a lot)....can you give me a ball-park figure on porcelain veneers ?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 22 07 10:01
It depends. Where is the porcelain? Is it for the front anterior (usually pricier) than the back (usually cheaper cause it's a mixture of various metal plus porcelain). The back is usually not as critical for esthetic (spelling) look.

  It will also depend on the lab fee, each lab charges different. Also the amount of dental work being done. So a lot of factor goes in.

  Could be anywhere from $500 to $1,000 plus.

Hmmm....no answer.  I'm thinking the price might be crazy.

  A friend of ours had porcelain veneers on all his teeth.  THEN, he finds out he has cancer, and the treatments reacted badly with his teeth (???).  so anyways, he has to have them all re-done.  With the dentist giving him 'a deal', because of the situation.......in total, it cost him $45,000.00.  I was stunned.  I had no idea.  So I was looking for answers from someone who knows 'the biz'.

From the groom and bride having some stranger take wedding pics of just them and then both getting into their car and leaving. To a huge wedding party on a giant cruiser. The best though was the broken down limo wedding party (had to be just out of college kids) and then the wedding party while I was waiting for the bus. A pregnant bridesmade couldn't walk, somehow I ended up in the wedding photo book because I helped them out. lol

  yeah I used to be like that. then left the state of misery. lol (get it misery, missouri lolololol)

life is what you make it. Only thing we can do as a society is steer the 'troubled' in the right direction before its too late. We can't force people to go to school for example. They have to find it within themselves that schooling means jobs and a better life when the economy isn't doing so well and they aren't paying 20 bucks an hour at mcdonalds (saw that ad in the paper today) or 30 and hour to put up dry wall. Catch them before they fall through the cracks. You wouldn't believe how many first nation people go to school here. Makes me happy. They want to better themselves, then go back home and become examples to the young kids that life can be better.

the female population gets it, its us males that don't get it. Most classes I have there's just a couple males besides me the rest females. They see that 30 an hour job and take thinking i'm going to make a lot of money. But fail to realise that their job is only based on demand due to growth of the economy.

If we paid more attention to causes of societal problems instead of how to fix the results of the problems, lots of people would be better off. Sort of like violent crime in Canada. Its way down and falling every year, you're most likely to die from heart disease and diabetes then a violent crime now. But you wouldn't know it from watching the news. Hence, they call heart disease the silent killer. More people are dying from it weekly and monthly then murders and violent crimes combined in the last 10 years. That's a major problem but you won't see that on the news of course.

    Yes. Unfortunately, per tooth. See, that's why I don't understand why dentist can charge you an arm and a leg for their service but not pay their CDA enough. Sheesh.

  You have to let me know what tooth are you talking about and how many? Where about in your mouth? Molars or bicuspids...? Has the tooth gone through Root Canal? All these factors need to be taken in before I can give you an idea of how much they cost approx.

Hello everyone!

  Can't stay too long. Library was a blast but it was weird seeing very little books around. I wonder if ppl from various parts of Vancouver come to this branch and borrow all the books. There seemed to be a lack of childrens book everywhere! Meh.

  Got a meeting to go to tonight. CDA meeting. No fun but I gotta collect my professional points. I don't see why you would have to collect points. Stupid, stupid. Just make the dentists collect them and leave the CDAs alone.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 24 07 02:48
Afternoon Lise and everyone else who joins in later.  

  Oh, the points are such a drag to update your licence or something.  I was thinking about getting my life licence one day but I know that there are courses I have to take throughout the year to get credits in order to renew my licence.  That part sucks...but I can see why there is a need for it.

  I thought that the Burnaby library would have tons of children's books because they're so big.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 24 07 02:51
I hate getting these points and keeping my license up-to-date. The points and courses get expensive after awhile and if you have a crappy dentist who won't pay your education then it just sucks. I can see it being relevant to dentist but CDAs and hygieniest? C'mon! It should be optional there.

  You need a liscense too, purelife? What kind?

  There are still tons of books at the library though not as many. I'm used to seeing more books but it looks like someone came in an took out a huge chunk. It's weird. Anyways, I hope they'll bring more newer books into the library. Always a good resource for kiddies.

Lecture was quite interesting. Invisalign... apparently the new revolution of braces and orthodontic treatment. I was actually quite surprised by the whole thing. I thought these transparent braces would be limited to 'light' cases where crowding of teeth was minimal but they do a lot of stuff that traditional braces do. Of course, with the salesman directing his pitch, it was hard to view the negative.

  Funny how Vancouver doesn't do a lot of these transparent braces. It's more ongoing in USA where everyone is so into their appearance and what not.

  Funniest part of the evening, the guy said, "Oh I know this orthodontist who did Arvil Lavagne's teeth and he uses Invisalign for her. He said that Arvil was probably one of his worst patients ever. Zero compliance." ROTFL. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/7.gif)

You'd better love the rain......there's plenty more where that came from.  

  I just phoned the roofers (who didn't show up this morning), and told them I'd had enough.  He said well it's raining (which it isn't HERE) and I said 'Well WTF did you think it would be doing if you waited until the end of Sepetmber' ?  Yes I did.....right out loud.

You're right.... .damn miserable day. *sigh* Fall is truly on its way. If we could just get one hot day, I would be soooo happy.

  Dropped Lise Jr. at the preschool to the cries of "Mommy! Mommy, don't leave me!" Ah geez.... doesn't that just break your heart. I feel like getting stabbed by a dagger each time. You'd think she'd be used to it by now but ah man, the ONLY one in the school that cries for mommy.

Hi Ms. purelife. Good to know that your review is out of the way. What are your plans for this October?

  Oh yeah... my stupid shed has leaked a bit on the edge again. I get the feeling that the slabs on the end are at an angle. Slopping towards the centre of the shed so to speak. The water is accumulating at one corner. GRRRRR! Well, at least the rest is relatively dry so I won't have to worry about moulds and what not.

  Yes, it's raining here in Burnaby. Gloomy as anything and frightfully bone cold. I heard from my hubby's cousin that it's actually snowing in Calgary so we have it relatively good compare to them.

Bummer on the shed Lise.  Maybe you could get a can of that expanding foam, and run a bead around the bottom ?  Might work....that stuff's amazing.

 Believe me, that does not work.  All day readings overload the brain and you will not remember anything on Monday. You need to schedule your readings like you would an appointment.  Each and every day, weekends included, spend one hour reading the required textbook(s)/reading(s) for each subject you have.  If you have 3 classes, then that's 3 hours every day.  Borefest or not, be sure to highlight points and write comments on the margins.  Also, see if you can find old exams from those classes.  The student centre usually has copies of previous exams so you can see what kind of questions are asked and focus on those parts.

  You're already doing the right thing by not drinking or partying too much.  School is a job, a thankless job you do not get paid for, and a motivating factor could be if you don't get at least 85% in each of your classes you can kiss graduate school good-bye, plus if you flunk out it is back to Missouri.

 I totally agree with you wyk.  Perhaps SD has a superhuman brain.  But, I bet that he would get overloaded AND quit reading because dedicating a day for that one subject and then a day for the other is really overwhelming.

 But wyk, I don't think SD will take your advice here.  There's really no point suggesting anything to him because he doesn't have the open mindness to try.  That's why I stopped in giving out advice.  It's a waste of time and breath.

On the top or the bottom of what?  I unfolded it and layed it flat on top of the bed, so it would unfurl.  I slept on the couch for the first night.  Then, the next day, I was able to put the protective covering on and make the bed properly.

What be dolmades Lil Me ?  (rofl on the flax....I like flax bread.....and yes....it is very efficient)

  Do any of you find the memory foam sweaty ?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Sep 25 07 07:48
The memory foam I got was only 1 layer (Costco), so I can't help you 49er.  Sorry.
 
 The memory foam isn't sweaty.  Mine is covered by a padded cloth cover, plus the fitted sheet of the bed.
 
 Dolmades are grape leaves stuffed with rice.   The ones I had were Greek.  In a can and marinated in olive oil and spices.

That's good to know.  I slept on a foam mattress once, and I felt like I woke up treading water.  I get very hot in the night.....sleep with door wide open even in January with only a sheet.  I have always been like this since I was a kid (????)  Hubby has his side stacked with comforters and quilts......ugh.

Sweaty foam. 49er. Mattress. Boy, that's just asking for it........

  Got a weird call from the 1st job interview dentist. I couldn't recognized the number, I should have kept that number for reference. Apparently they wanted me to come in for a 1 hour work interview tommorrow and I thought it was from someone else. So I said, 'gee, that's kinda late notice but can we reschedule it another time?' the girl on the other end was rude and her response was 'oh, then don't worry about coming in. We thought it was ok with you to come in tomorrow.'

  Then it hit me. What? I never said that to them so I asked about the name of the dentist and when she told me, I got confused as well. I told the girl on the other end I said I wasn't interested in the job unless the dentist met my pay criteria and did she change her mind? The girl was confused - I don't blame her. I think they may have mixed up my resume with someone else.

  I'm confounded by the fact that someone would be willing to work for that low a pay. What an insult! Oh well, not my place to say. Anyways, I said unless the doctor was willing to pay me for what I'm worth, then I'm not interested. I thought I had made it clear to her.

 Condolences to you and your family on the death of your great-aunt.  I know what it is like to find things about someone when you're going through their belongings after their death.  My great-aunt was a pack-rat, lol, saved every issue of the weekly newspaper for like a decade.  Imagine the piles in the basement.  Oh it took us like a month just to clear out her house for the garage sale, but it was wonderful, just talking about her, looking at things, crying a bit, getting to know someone we thought we knew.

wyk - why don't you register here and you and purelife can set up a lovely date together? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Hello amigoes,

  Well, I went to the periodontist for my interview. Boy, talk about not organized at all. I found out that she literally squeezed me in between patients so we only  manage to talk for like 5 mins. I mean, WTH? If you are interested in hiring, shouldn't you at least take more than 10 mins to talk to the potential candidate? Or schedule a meeting after work?

  On top of it, she had lost my resume. Lucky I had a few copies with me - I almost didn't bring the copies but thought I might be able to hand out a few if I spot some dental offices.

  We did not even get the chance to discuss wages and compensation etc etc etc. Rushed me out the door before I could say anything. She wants me back for 'observation'... not paid, of course... next Thursday (forgot I had to drop Lise Jr. to preschool) but I called back to set for another date. We'll see if she can change it to a Friday or Saturday.

  I got another call from a dental office in Metrotown. If all goes well, I might get a job interview next week. *fingers crossed*

Shake n bake? I wanted to make it too but Superstore were sold out in the small packs of drumsticks.  My grandma gave me the recipe where you add the curry spices along with coconut to that shake n bake.  I've got all the ingredients but have yet to try it.

I had some pork vegetable gyoza and freshly popped popcorn.  no oil, no salt, just plain.  I wanted to test drive our new popcorn maker. :)))

Pork steaks, rice and snap peas.

Went to Longwood Pub for dinner today. Cool brew pub.

Watched the season premiere of Smallville.

WEEKEND!! woot!

 Hello Everyone.
 Whew.  That was a long day.
 Funeral was fine- people actually attended.  Followed by family dinner.  Got to see some long lost cousins!!
 
 P.C.-my great aunt had no children or grandchildren.  She lived alone and more often than not turned down any invitations to family dinners.  We hadn't seen her for years.
 
 purelife- the funeral was in the late afternoon.  It took us most of the day, though- picking up Heckyl and Jeckyl from school at 11:30, getting them lunched and changed, then getting to the cemetary early to set-up.

Post by: Lise on Sep 28 07 09:36
Yeah, hubby's a big fan of Smallville too so we watched it last night. What's up with the blonde wig on Lana's head? I mean, c'mon! If you wanna blend in and not draw attention to yourself, shouldn't you wear a black wig instead? Geez.

  And uhm.... was that Wonder Woman that saved Lex? She blonde!!!! I thought WW was supposed to have dark hair.

  Lovely day today. Not going to rain at east for the moment. I'm heading to the Crystal Mall to see if I can get some more moon cakes. Both kids love them so I'm gonna grab a couple. Hope there's still some left.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 28 07 09:40


I think the blonde wig is because she's the famous wife of lex luthor so she has to think of a disguse.
No, not wonder woman, Supergirl, Clark's cousin.

Morning Lise, SD and Michel.

  Did you guys go to the moon festival, Lise?  

  It was a good episode last night.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif)  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 28 07 09:51
No, did not go to the festival, purelife. We did light some candles outside and watched the moon. That was kinda fun. I can remember lighting candles all over our backyard when we were in Malaysia. Our lanters would hang from branches. It was a magical night. But I can't do it here because it's too cold and windy.

  I think it's Wonder Woman, SD. I mean, she wore bracelets on her hands. And her stance is typical WW. Then again, I could be wrong. Linda Carter (former WW) is set to visit Smallville as Chole's mom.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 28 07 09:54
What powers does Chloe have?  I remember an episode where she rescued her mom from Luther's prison and her mom held special powers.  I hope she starts revealing her secrets to Clark soon.      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 28 07 09:56
 Nope its not Wonder Woman, WW came from the amazon and not a kryptonian spaceship. Its super girl.

CW's press release from the summer:

CW's press release:[div align="left"] [/div][font lang="en"][font lang="en"]Look, up in the sky: it's a bird, it's a plane! It's...Supergirl! This fall, Supergirl will be joining the lineup of burgeoning superheroes and villains in "Smallville." Supergirl is the latest DC Comics character to join the series that has previously welcomed Martian Manhunter, The Green Arrow, The Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and Brainiac.[/font][/font]

Nobody knows Chloe's powers. She's not telling Clark yet. lol
That was her mom's powers. Her mom could control people.
Chloe's power was that tear thing she did when Lois died in the season finale last year.
I wonder who took Lionel though, someone just randomly picks him up. Strange.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 28 07 10:04
OK but I certainly don't remember Supergirl having braclets on her hands. Oh well. They don't follow the traditional super heroes script anyways so what do I know.

  What happen to Clark's mom? I don't see her name at the start of the credits anymore. She quit the show or what?

  On the another note, anyone catch Bionic Woman? I love the show. Super hawt chick kicks ass! Excellent stuff. And I also love Reaper. Funny, funny show.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 28 07 10:05
I know she had that tear thing power to her but why the fainting and then pronounced dead?  There must be more and I can't wait to find out.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 28 07 10:08
I saw Bionic Women for a wee bit.  I was like "hey, that's filmed in Raincouver!" lol.

  How about Prison Break, Lise?  That main character guy is freaking smokin hawt!  I don't watch that show though, but just like to see him when my guy is watching it. :))  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Sep 28 07 10:12
 LOL. Oh yeah, it did rain a lot on Bionic Woman. My hubby saw a bit of the filming downtown. He was so excited but did not catch the girl playing BW. I'm just glad to see some characters from my favorite series Battlestar cross over to BW. Like Starbuck who played the blonde villian and the Chief from Battlestar. Dunno what type of character he is.

  I bet Chole's power is rejuvenation. It's weird that she would have super powers after being on the show this long.

  No, not into Prison Break. Dunno. It's not exactly a show to my liking but the guys are really, really hawt.[/DIV]

  We're probably going to ice-skating and/or swimming.  Haven't been skating for a year now.  

  Y'know, you could add a can of tuna and a can of campbell's chicken noodle soup to that KD and then bake it like a casserole.  Tuna is less than a buck for a can and soup is about $1 something.   just a suggestion.

  Speaking of moons.... did anyone get mooned? I did. While I was driving with my sister in Australia, these group of boys passed us.

Top of the morning folks!

  Anyone catch Angela's Ashes two nights ago? I watched it late on TV and man, it was soooo good. I think I'll head to Chapters and see if I can find the book to read. Fascinating. I can't believe how poor ppl were back in the days. Makes me ashame to hear myself nag about how we can't afford to get the Xbox game when some ppl were struggling just to keep themselves warm and dry.

  Heading off for a dental appointment. Gonna get my teeth clean and checked. Lise Jr. is sorta excited. Not sure if she'll sit in the chair. The last time we were there, she screamed her head off. Literally. Happy, happy, happy memories!

Went to the dentist. Really nice dude. He's so nice, he gives us like 50% off, more generous than my own boss who would only give like 10% to family members. Bought them a whole bunch of donuts to say thank you.

  No hope for Lise Jr. sitting the chair. Absolutely clamped down, refusing to open her mouth. Stared at the dentist like he's got two heads. It was kinda funny to see her glare at him then at me then the ground and then back again. In the end, I resorted to bribing her with chocolate donuts (something I said I wouldn't) but she didn't open her mouth. ARGH!!

  They want me back in three months to see if Lise Jr. will open her mouth. Haha. I think not. She's not going to open her mouth, not even for mommy. *sigh*

  Ate at Banana Leaf. Damn rip-off. I can't believe they would charge me for tea. Hmph. Food was too greasy, I don't think I feel right after leaving the restaurant.

  Roasty Jack is selling their Thanksgiving turkey for $100!! Woweee. I think I would rather buy the Butterball Turkety for like $30 and make it myself.

  Nothing much happening today. Lunch today will be leftover and mashed potatoes. Tonight is burger night with homemade beef patty.

lol....what is a Roasty Jacks Lise?

  You can get teeny turkeys.....not too much bigger than big chicken.  Haven't decided yet what to do about Thanksgiving dinner.....but will likely be a turkey on the rotissery.  The 'new' bar-b is great, as the infrared heat source isn't from the bottom, so we can put a pan under and still get gravy.  

  Ho humm.....waiting for cable guy.

  Beautiful sunny Monday.....yeayyyyyyyy

My thanksgiving dinner is going out for turkey buffet (lol), as my parents (who always host turkey day) have the house up for sale.  It'll be the same huge extended family...just out this year...so less work for everyone.  (It's usually the big family gathering with people sitting at card tables in the living room, eating on the couch, coffee drips and crumbs everywhere...)

  Roasty Jack is a take-out. It's OK if you don't mind getting day old turkey and chicken under the hot lamp. It's pretty bland stuff but the kids love the food. More of a comfort food.

  When I was diabetic eating a dish from here was really good for my blood sugar level so if you want to watch your diet, go here.

I got sick from eating at Roasty Jack's at the Metrotown and then at the Lougheed location.  I know they have bland food, and I'm used to bland food, but it tasted really weird to me.  Everyone has their own opinion, but I won't go back again.

  Anyways, afternoon everyone.  

  Lunch was salmon caesar salad and a mid-afternoon apple as my snack.

You guys are making me hungry.

  My cable guy came today.....now our TV doesn't work. (honey....if you're reading this at work....breathe deeply....longggg slow breaths)  Not only did he screw it up....he erased everything off the PVR.....as if that isn't enough, I just sat for 45 minutes on hold (long distance) and their recording was stuck.  She kept thanking me for my patience over and over and over again, until I felt it was nessecary to scream obscenities to a recording and hang up.  Now I can't get through again.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/a050.gif" border=0]

  All that was wrong with it, was it was having a little sound hic-up.....he fixed it, then proceded to mess around with it.....now.....nothing.  This is the second PVR in a year and a half.  That's Shaw for you.  Last time I called for tech support, he walked me into a pay per view movie for about 2 minutes, which they charged me for.  When I phoned them to have it removed from my bill, they told me they were sorry, but they couldn't do that.  AAARRRRGGGGG....these companies make me crazy.

I believe in letting kids do what they want to do. All we need to do is encourage, never become a little league dad or mom where the parents are more interested then the kids and you end up pushing them to do something they don't want to do. Then its not fun.

  So he says, no.....they don't need my driver license number.....you had a tech out here yesterday....you called our home....so THAT number is good.....when did this new little tidbit come into practise?  So the guy says they can't do anything without the number.  Hubby asks to speak to the supervisor....who of course isn't there.

Bummer about your situation there, PC. Yeah, I'm really hesistant about giving off private information especially with phone numbers to businesses, no matter what they claim it's for. I always say no unless it's a refund item that needs to be return (credit card) in which case I will give it reluctantly. But if it's for anything else, I'm not going to do it. It's my right as a citizen not to give out private info.

I've noticed people posting home address, phone, cell phone, work details on Facebook.  That's something I would not do.  It's too easy for a hacker to take up your identity.

  Anyways, morning everyone.

  I had a nice conversation with my neighbor last night and we basically talked about Vancouver and how it's best to just move to Calgary or even SK.  You make WAY more money out there and could save a whole lot than living here.  I'm tired of Vancouver.  I definitely want to move out of here.  So much to think about. :)

After 2010, she was saying, that construction will be down and there will be many many layoffs from many sectors.  And the service industry would boom.  I do agree with what she is saying.  Young families are already owning their own homes.  Here, it's damn difficult!  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Oct 03 07 11:21
 Calgary is just as bad as Vancouver now. And they're really not getting richer, it just seems that way because cost of living has sky rocketed. Especially in Calgary. I've got friends from Calgary and Edmonton and there was an article in the paper recently about Albertan myth of being loaded. Due to the fact that economy is moving faster then the infrastructure can build up and the rents are high.

Cheapest place in Canada to live in, big city wise, Winnipeg. That's if you like arctic winters and mosqiutoes in the summer.

  I think I agree SD.  That may have been true 5 years ago.....but it has leveled off.  No longer is there the huge wages and the lower cost of housing.  The only ones that will profit now from moving to Calgary ...are the ones that did so 10 years ago.  THEY will see HUGE profit in the value of their homes.

  I too have friends in Calgary.....and friend HERE who work in Calgary.  I think the get in low....get out high thing has passed. (unless you're a pipeliner....in which case you will make money wherever you go...lol)

  *purelife.....the identity theft was much simpler.....and required no address and no phone numbers.  I was shocked.  For women who have brothers with whom they converse with....they provide the woman's maiden name.  A valuable piece of info....as banking often requires this.  The guy showed how it was done....and within minutes, he had enough info to secure a mortgage under his new identity......that 'YOU' (whoever's name) would be responsible for.

Post by: Sportsdude on Oct 03 07 11:48
 Yup its so funny really. There's folks like Devil who got in before the wave and then there are locals who couldn't afford to live in Alberta anymore and came here to BC. lol

only people like my roommate with an unlimited income think Calgary is cheap now, he's like "1000 a month for a small apartment for rent, that's not bad".

I believe your going to see a trickle of growth moving east. We're already seeing it in Saskatoon. Its getting too expensive to live and start businesses in Alberta so they're moving east. I don't know if the growth could continue to places like Winnipeg but it could you never know.

the growth areas in BC are Vancouver and the Okanagon Valley and the Island.
problem with Island based economies is that its either government forestry or tourism based so the high loonie is not good for forestry (plus they're on strike). Okanagon (Kelowna, Kamloops) service and tourism.
Best future outlook for jobs in BC is the tourism sector. The back bone of BC has always been the forest, but that's not sustainable, everyone is switching over to tourism based economies.
The smart ones here have gone from regular business majors to tourism majors or business management majors. That's where the growth is going to be in the future. tourism.

Your best to stay in Vancouver now, the window for the 'moving to alberta idea' has closed. Plus if there ever was a boom bust economy collapse in the future it would be Alberta. They're even having problems now with the high loonie. Friends were saying some patches have to close because the dollar is too high.

Greetings, how is everyone today? Looks like another wet and gloomy day. Yuck. Frigging cold too. *sniff sniff*

  Lunch today was noodles and chicken. It's steak teriyaki tonight so I'm looking foward to that. Haven't had steak in a while. I kinda remember it being a bit tough last time but I'll give it one more shot tonight.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Oct 03 07 01:22
Lise, try the t-bone fast cook steak from Superstore.  It's more expensive but well worth it.  Very tender and cooks very quickly. :))  Oh, and add some onions.  It mixes with the juices of the steak really well.  YUMMY!

  Lunch for me is chilli and an apple.

T-Bone steak? Yeah, that's my favorite cut of meat but hubby doesn't like bone or fat. So I have to get the extra lean meat which means it dries out faster. Ugh. Anyways, he likes it that way so he's welcome to chew it till the cows come home.

  I've a hankering for a bowl of chillies.... hmmmm....

It does have to do with slum....sort of.  (I don't think you'd find some of these 'creations' at a 5 star restaurant).  And 'gullium'  just SOUNDS like a chaotic combination of seemingly unrelated stuff.  Slumgullium.[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]

  And lo and behold, our fee increases $36 more for a 3-month membership, making it about $40/month.  I only had to pay $27/month before!  GRRRRRRR!  Now, I'm going to look for other gyms!

Yup. That's me. I used to sleep with the window open in the winter to "toughen" myself up, become gritty.

The cold here is a bit colder. Heavy air, not used to that, yet. Haven't learned to layer yet either.

  How is all today? It sure is a lovely day. Any plans for the weekend? I have to head out and get something from Home Depot. Our second sink is missing that damn washer and I need to replace it. I just hope I can find one similar.

  So sleepy this morning. Had to catch the 8am train/bus to UBC. *yawn* I can't believe how much UBC has grown. It's like a self-sufficient community there. Nice.

Evening everyone! Hope everyones having a good weekend. Er, starting to have a good weekend.

  The job we were prepping heavily for the last week has been cancelled until further notice now. So we are wondering what make work projects we can come up with.

  Lunch was some sort of curry, salad, and rice/ potatoes. Dinner was, um, I really dont know but there was coleslaw, salad, potatos and two trays of unidentified meats and stuff with it. We discussed what it was for the half hour we were in the messroom. The cakes were good. We knew they were banana and chocolate respectively.

  Played Texas Holdem again with the guys.. lost another ten bucks. lol.

   Ahhh....the good ol mystery meat.

  I didn't think you ever ran out of 'make work' projects on a boat.  Aren't they neverending?

  Maybe you guys should play Texas Holdem for cakes.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)[/DIV]

HA! Thats true. The projects ARE neverending.. its deciding the ones that use the least amount of effort.

  The mystery meats are getting more and more these days.. The company we are getting the food stuffs from is questionable.

  Texas Holdem is no fun without a bit of money and big group of people swearing at each other.

Hey RUSS!  Did you lose anything else beside 10 bucks during the game?  Do you have a poker face?

  Lunch was chilli and an apple.  

  Pics, Lil Me?  

  I hope that it's sunny this weekend because I would love to visit Granville Island.  There's this place in the Market that sells natural soups (no preservatives) for $6.50.  Can feed two.  My coworker was telling me that they taste awesome. :))

Heya Miss Purelife. Nope kept all the other little unimportant thingys when played Texas Holdem.

  no preservatives? If its healthy it probably tastes terrible. Just go have a big juicy dripping burger instead from a healthy establishment like burger king or mcdonalds.

It was like 5 bucks and worked great until I got tired of setting it up every time I bbq'd and ended up wiring in a light on a switch so I can see what Im doing.

Hi Russ dude,

  I'm not sure if that's what I want but the pay is outstanding compare to what's being offered out there. Plus there's a chance to move up in promotion in the dental faculty, something that's not offered if you work in a small practise.

  It will be interesting to see what it's like working at UBC. I hope it won't be too much repetitive work and that I will get the chance to rotate. *fingers crossed*

  Rain, rain today. Yuck. Went to Metrotown mall and boy was it ever packed. Seems everyone is heading there just to piss me off. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/19.gif)

Hello all.

  Just spent like 15 mins ironing those damn scrubs again. ARGH! I hate ironing... did I mention how much I HATE IRONING??? I guess I have to present myself better next week. On the plus side, it feels so damn good to be doing something positive again.

  Tomorrow's gonna be a great day! Watch out for the sunny sunny sunshine! Great for a stat holiday.

  BTW, I went to Superstore today in the pouring rain. Oh man... was it ever packed. We went around 10 am, thinking we would beat the crowds but boy, were we ever wrong! Everyone's in a fix to buy a turkey, trimmings etc etc etc. Must make mental note to self: don't ever buy grocery one day before Thanksgiving. Prices are ridiculous.

 Evening Lise.

I went to Superstore as well this morning and it was busy.  I can imagine how packed Metrotown's was.  I wanted to buy fresh whole chicken and they were out of it.   I then had to venture off to Safeway and picked up the last chicken.  OMG!  Thank goodness.  I really didn't want to drive around in the pouring rain.  

We went swimming today at Watermania.  It wasn't as busy as usual.

I made an extra special dinner.  We had steelhead trout (nicely filleted) with rice, and stir fry veggies.

Hey purelife!

  We went to the Rupert one in Vancouver. They had tons of chicken there but they were flying off the shelves (no pun intended). What a mad house! I hate Superstore. GRRRRRR.

  Are you roasting a chicken for Thanksgiving?

  I have to buy extra groceries this week because I won't be home to go out and buy fresh food every second day. I guess it's good in a way, forces me to cook then deep freeze what I can so hubby and the kids can take out something from the freezer/fridge and eat. Hubby NEEDS to learn how to cook one of these days. At least boil a damn potato or something!!

  I've never been to Watermania. That's in Richmond, right? I heard it can be super packed in the summer months.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

 You and your family would love Watermania, mind you that this pool has more chlorine than others.  I wouldn't stay in there for more than 2 hours.  There's a nice steam room where you could relax too. :))  It doesn't seem to get busy nowadays.

Yuppers, baking chicken.  Turkey here is too too expensive.  I saw one for 50 bucks!  HOLY MOLY!  That turkey was bigger than my kitchen! :P

Are you having turkey, Lise?

EDIT:  I just read that you're having chicken and roasted yams.  Sounds delicious.....miammeeeeeeeeeeeeee!  :))

uhm, how do you roast your yams?
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Oct 07 07 09:56
Sorry, got distracted by the kids.

  It's really easy. Just drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper, dry oregano leaves... mix everything together then put it together with chicken as you roast the chicken. The dripping will mingle with the yam and make taste extra yummy.

  *sniff sniff* Yup, delicious aroma of chicken waffling throughout the house today. I didn't get the chance to get out as much as I wanted as I had to clean up the house for guests. I did go out for a brief spell to pull out those damn sweat peas plants that's been clogging up my front yard.

  Oh ja, while I was out... guess what I saw? A FRIGGING BIG ASS RAT running across. I almost jumped out of my skin. I think the rat was after the food at the bird feeder so I think I have to discard the bird feeder. It's unfortunate because I love having birds in our garden. Oh well.

  Hey purelife, I have a question for you... how come I can't get hold of those montly bus passes? Seems like they're all sold out everywhere I go!

Hey everyone!
 
 Hope it was a good weekend for all.  Man, the weekend went by quickly :(
 
 The most pumpkin pie I've ever made is using a can of ED Smith Pumpkin Pie Filling (it's pumpkin mixed with spices and sugar).  You follow the directions on the can and add a can of evaporated milk and some eggs, then dump it into a frozen pie shell and bake.  Easy as pie!
 
 We have a lot of food allergies, so I made a vegan tofu pumpkin pie last year (YUMMMEEEE!), but I didn't make one this year.  Mr LM is out of town and Heckyl and Jeckyl aren't huge pumpkin fans.  I knew that if I made one, I'd end up eating the WHOLE THING, and that wouldn't be good....

10 trips to the laundry mat, still recovering from being sick.

Hi all!

  Hey Lil Me. Sounds really easy the way you describe pumpkin pie. I guess I never looked at the instructions on the can one but it sounds like my type of work. Open can, dumped out filling, add in whatever then stuffed in oven. Easy peasy.

  Good Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone (except my in-laws) liked the chicken. I thought it was tad overdone but hubby swore it was the best he's had in a long time. Haha. Funny thing is I only make roast chicken like TWICE a year. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif) At the last minute, I added saute mushrooms with garlic and onions. Made the gravy from the dripping. Thank goodness I was watching Chef Michael Smith this afternoon and learnt how to make it from him.

  You sick, SD? You should ask for chicken soup from someone someone. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/19.gif)

SD, it's the thought that count! The fact she's bringing you something at all says it all... unless of course, she's a terrible cook.

  You know... when I was at Crystal Cove, I tried those paid laundramat and dryer. I don't know what it is but it took FOREVER and I didn't want to hang around waiting. (plus it was kinda scary) I just left my clothes there and came back in a couple of hours.

well I don't wash everything at once but I was sick for 4 days. Plus I don't have a lot of clothes. So I went through everything.

Oh and I wasn't the only one not to bring a blanket. A german guy in my building didn't bring one either. lol wait he's german I'm german, that must mean us germans are missing a few.... and I thought we were suppose to be smart. bullocks!

 Yes, we'd like to find a slightly larger place because we've lived in a shoebox since Heckyl and Jeckyl were small.  A place with a garage would be good, because we have Mr LM's work equipment and Heckyl and Jeckyl's sports stuff stashed in every since room.

I like Rooftop stuffing, as it's a bit of a guilty pleasure.  I'm hopelessly addicted to anything with a ton of salt and MSG, so I can't buy it too often.  But after Thanksgiving, it was $0.88 at the Stupidstore, so I couldn't resist,  MMmmmmmm!

Dinner for me was a can of sardines with an apple and a pear.  simple, diet food. :)

PC - we're thinking of New Westminster, North Burnaby...anywhere close to the skytrain line EXCEPT for Vancouver.  Too expensive for us.  I can't wait to move.  I want an invitable place.  I love playing hostess.  Right now, it's a guy's home.  :P

Are Heckyl and Jeckyl trick o treating this year?  Or do they always?  Do you buy or make costumes?  (just wondering... )  They're SO expensive.

Skytrain RULZ....i .... agree. :)))  


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Oct 11 07 08:02
They usually trick or treat, but I think we've had enough of dragging them around in the dark when it's raining, cold and one or the other is misbehaving.  Church is having an indoor kids' carnival Halloween night, so that sounds good to me.
 
 Make costumes?  Wish I could.  Not creative and no sewing ability.  I've bought costumes cheap at StupidStore and Liquidation World before.  I think they can probably pull something out of the closet from last year.
 
 I'm a huge bah-humbug about classroom parties at school.  I mean, c'mon...we send them to school to learn, not to run around and get jacked up on sugar.

On Hallowe'en at my kids school, they used to have 'ethnic' day.  (or maybe it was Thanksgiving....can't remember)  Each of the kids brought samples of goodies relating to their heritage.  Not necessarily candy 'goodies'.  It was an excellent thing.  I loved it.

But it wasn't just sweets.  It was 'uncommon' veggies and fruits.....all sorts of things.  The teachers at their school were brilliant.  For most of their functions, they were usually sent home with a 'what to bring' list.  Veggie plate, fruit plate etc.  They celebrated everything.....all nationalities holidays and observances and learned a little about each.  Best Social Studies class ever !

  Afternoon everyone from here in lovely Equatorial Guinee where its coming down with massive buckets of liquid sunshine.

  SD, The white trash party sounds great! Those are alot of fun, there used to be a night club downtown vancouver that would hvae one once a month. You would come dressed up in torn jeans and flannel jackets wearing wifebeaters underneath (food stains on them are a bonus). They would serve you cans of extra old stock, xxx, and pilsner among others in brown paper bags. Awesome!

Have a good time! They are alot of fun, as everyone tries to be the bigger white trasher hick!

Oh, a sure fire way to do well there is to wear a green mesh John Deer hat... I have a few to be honest.

Is it Mr. Sawdust's Birthday? Happy Birthday, Mr. Sawdust!! BEST WISHES!

  OK, workload is getting heavy. Man, I don't know how these girls do it. Remember every little instruments and whatever that goes in and out. I'm being overwhelmed by it all. Still... it's a learning process of which I'm grateful. Technology has come a long way and it surprises me to see that no many dental offices out there keep up-to-date... at least as much as the university.

  The amount of wastage is beyond me. I cannot understand why we need to use so much good material only once then discard. It's unbelievable. I think most dentist would have a fit if they found out how much wastage we go through. Oh well. Not my place to say anything.

  Did I ever tell you I HATE OFFICE POLITICS? I guess it's unavoidable when you have so many ppl working together. I mean, why can't we all just get along together and work without bitching and moaning about this and that? I swear, some ppl get a power trip and never come back to earth. What's up with that? Jaysus.

  Anyways, I shouldn't complain. Most of the folks are decent enough and if I work hard and block out all the extrinsic yucky forces, I'll be fine.

  I miss my darlings at home though.... *sigh*

I don't like it either Lise.  And yet, it's almost impossible to avoid.  If you make the choice to not get 'involved', then you end up looking 'stand-offish'.  Strangely enough, I find a smaller staff generates more office politics.

That's exactly what I feel like. If you're not with the 'group mentality' than you're out of it and no one wants to involve you in anything else. I hate it. It feels like you're in highschool except these ppl haven't grown up.

 Anyways, this is all very new to me. I don't know what or how I'm expected to act but I guess I'll learn as I go along. It's damn confusing.

 We went to UBC today. My hubby was so amazed at how much everything changed. He had to have his burger at this place called The Pit. The price hasn't changed in 15 years ($2.75 for a burger) but I thought the burger was only so-so. Meh. Students will eat just about anything.

  Cheers to Lil Me for the costco burgers! I buy only their burgers for the ones I cook.. unless I make my own.

Evening everyone.

Oh, I know what you mean about office politics.  I find that when there are more women than men at the office, there's more cattyness.  At an office/work environment, you'll soon learn who's the brownoser, the loud one, the gossiper, the one that thinks she/he "knows it all".... *sigh*  At least you're enjoying some people, right? :))  That's what matters.

Last night, we had pho with some friends at 3am. Ohhhhh...it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO good..miammmmmmmeeeeeeee!  We also went to White Rock beach...I forgot how clearly you could see the stars.  'twas beautiful!

The Angus beef burgers are awesome.   Enjoy 'em too. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif)   I recently brought this cotton zipped jacket and sweats from Costco... Avia brand..OMGCUMFY and CHEAP!  Did you get any clothes lately at Costco, LM?

 Hey!  Gotta love that sauerkraut.  Mine came in a can from StupidStore, so I needed to transfer it into a plastic container.  Costco in the jar next time for sure!

OHKIMCHI!!!!!  Speaking of that, they had it as samples in Costco today.  I was going to buy the whole box full but remembered how much carbs there are... I would probably eat the 12 packages in less than a week.  Not good!  :S

hehe yeah I've become accostumed to the smaller Canadian sized portions (took forever it seemed)
But I bought a pack of like 30 for 8 bucks at Super Store.

Do you put veggies in yours pl? For some reason I want it spicier so i put in red peppers.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Oct 14 07 05:36
No veggies.  It takes the flavor away.  

I like the wonton noodles, the one that Lise suggested.  That tastes good with the veggies and wonton.  

I wouldn't eat too much of that kimchi stuff, lots of sodium in one package...over 1K per serving.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

hmm wonton.
really takes away the flavour?



 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I think that protein in sauerkraut is almost non-existent.  It IS relatively high in calcium.

In truth, I didn't even know that it had ANY nutritional value until Lil Me brought it up.....but have since read up on it a little bit.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

yikes you were right about the sodium pl, 46%. lol


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Oct 14 07 06:03
I think it takes the flavor away.  I used to put baby bok choi in the kimchi and it took the flavor away..not sure about the other veggies.

Sauerkraut has lots of fibre.  I've been reading that sauerkraut helps with weight loss....

Im looking around to find set up ones to buy.. so far the only one Ive seen IN CANADA being sold is this one:

  the only problem with this one is that it has design issues and wont stay cold enough for the beer from what I have read. You can modify it to work.. but then that voids the warranty and would defeat the purpose of buying a new one from a store.

Afternoon..

so I take it that nobody knows about kegerators? sigh.. i guess I will just have to do an old fridge conversion.

  Thanks PC and PL.. I agree, it will be very cool when I gets it up and running.

  Its sunny here amazingly enough.. and it looks like we will be heading out for a swim in a bit!

  Have a good morning everyone.

Aw Russ.  That sounds marvellous.
 
 Next time you go to sea, take us all with you!  We'll hide and be really, really quiet on the ship.
 
 Well, the sun is starting to shine a wee bit here.  Is anyone else finding it difficult to get up when it's still dark outside?  Even if I'm awake, I'm finding it difficult to put my feet on the floor because it doesn't seem like morning yet.

Usually microwave Quick Oats (with milk or soy milk) and some raisins/cinnamon or whatever.  You can make a big bowl for everyone.  The [span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]microwave[/span] stuff gets expensive if you're making more than 1 serving.  
 
 EDIT:  The INSTANT stuff gets exepnsive.  My bad.
 Robin Hood quick oats in the big bag are cheap.

You're right LM. It started to POUR!  I was lucky to have such a short distance to walk to the skytrain and even more lucky when this nice gentleman with a BIG umbrella offered to walk me to the station.  

Anyways, I made a salad for dinner.  Mixed greens, dried cranberries, roasted pine nuts and walnuts, balsamic vinegar dressing, and a sprinkle of feta cheese.  YUMMY!  Oh, and had two boiled eggs on the side with a small bowl of sauerkraut.

Hey everyone!
 
 I don't think they sell Catelli ravioli here.  They have the dried pasta and bottles of tomato sauce, though.
 
 I just bought the BIG bottles of Prego spag sauce at Costco this weekend.  It was something like $6 for 2 bottles.
 
 I'm not a fan of frozen pasta entrees, but a lot of people like the Michelina's.  Some of the flavours even have vegetables in them, SD!  Do you have a micro?

Well, that's the thing with ominous feelings.  They're hard to pinpoint.  I've felt it the last couple days.

  Perhaps it's just a nudge to update my earthquake kit.

Yeah they want "happy employees" all the time, because "happy employees" don't rebel. etc.

oh I'm doing okay-ish just a bit puzzled.

Awww....sorry Miss purelife.  That sucks.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/10.gif)   As difficult (maybe even unrealistic) as it seems, I would think of cheerfulness at all times as being a requirement.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

boss going after the good worker to send a message to everyone? That's what it sounds like to me. He/she is trying to show who's boss and doesn't want any chit chat about people gone.


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Oct 17 07 12:40
I think she should take into consideration the observations of your co-workers.  If they see you as cheerful all the time.....what more can you do?

  To make an evaluation complete, having co-workers evaluate each other is often insightful as well.

  I think they want 'happy employees' all the time, because 'happy employees' are more productive and makes for a general more productive atmosphere.

   Ah, the Pit in the SUB.  Hey, it actually is good food once in awhile.  Veggie burger with mushrooms, fries splashed with vinegar.  All for $5.00 or so.  Of course for more discerning palates there is the Pendulum.  I used to buy a slice of lemon mereingue pie and a bowl of couscous from there and scarf it down at 11:30pm while writing out a paper due the next day.  All the walking around campus helped keep the weight off.

  When I left UBC last year they were fixing up the SUB cafeteria.  I wonder what it looks like now.

I cant really blame them.. but I hate Heathrow right now. They removed their smoking lounge and dont have any signs about it until you are in three layers of security. Too much hassle to go back out right now. Luckily I have nicorettes, lol.

  So tired from work. Man... waking up around 5.30am every morning, trudging off to work, trying to catch the bus in the rain. Cold. Cold. Cold. I want to win 10 million dollars RIGHT NOW so I don't have to work. Eva. What are my chances????? Arrrrgh.

  On the flip side, work is definitely better without having a dentist breathing down your neck. It's more independent, you get to be one with the instruments and the sterilization chamber. I'm so scared of that chamber... feels like one hot oven. Imagine if you're trapped in there... OMG. You'd be fried within a minute. Each time the door opens, I hear the creak of the coffin. Nice image, eh?

Hey, welcome back Russ!! I hate the rain too but I can't complain.... it's drought season in Australia and they've got water restrictions like you won't believe.

  Lions game? Today? In the cold wet evening? Or is it in-doors, Lil Me?

  Not much happening today.  A friend of mine said Baby World is in town, at the Convention Centre. We may go check it out but hubby isn't really interested. All them babies and mommies in tow.... it's a nightmare scenario to him.

Morning peoples!

Thanks for the welcome back lovely ladies, miss LM, PL, PC, and of course misty Lise.

    Its good to be back, although again being up early, its now 6am, is not a good feeling. lol. I ended up having a bbq/getogether and invited 7 people, just to keep it low key and slow cause it was my second day back. At about 9 pm there were 25 people there. The people just kinda multiplied, lol. I gave the subtle hint it was time for people to leave at midnight, 'get the fawk out im tired'. I had told people to bring something to throw onto the table for people to eat, I would bbq and throw some chicken wings and thrighs out.

  I got worried at one when he showed up with half a turkey and asked me to cook it for him !?!

  So SD... could you not afford booze for this party you went to? So you got suckered into being the bouncer?

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

sort of, I hadn't done anything with these people in months, been really busy. Plus I don't drink a lot or at all because the store is too far away to walk to etc. Then of course I have no money. lol

Probably shouldn't even have gone to the party, because I'm sick again. ugh²  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Oct 21 07 08:30
Sorry to hear that bud.. I was actually just bugging you, wasnt really serious.

  Dont worry about it, we have all been there when going to school and doing things on a budget.. it sucks yeah at the time when you see everyone else enjoying themselves, but in the end you arent as in debt and you remember all the funny stuff with clarity, lol.

  When I went through college, I ended up getting by with next to nothing, and didnt always go to the bars and parties cause I couldnt afford it. I also racked up only 11k in loans over the four years. Some of the others in my class that did go to all the parties, go to the bars over lunch and such at the end of four years had 50-60k in loans. I paid off my student loans a while ago.. they are still paying, with lots left.

  So whats the plans for everyone this sunday? Im heading to the home depot to get some lights for the patio and bbq pad areas. I hate the lack of lighting and dont like putting up the portable construction lights we have, they always seem too bright and get knocked over by someone thats three sheets to the wind.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Oct 21 07 10:25
clean, research for a paper, not get sick.

yeah Russ, I dunno about parties, they're just not my atmosphere. I like "older" or as my roommate says "intellectual" parties where 10 people sit down around a coffee table and talk, intellectually. lol Going to clubs and bars, I just go eck, boring.

Hey!  I'm back from BC Place- Lions game and Scouts sleepover.  It was another loud, bright, cold night sleeping on the turf...but this year I managed 4 hours....with people constantly running over you and soccer balls hitting your sleeping bag...  All the kids there had a wonderful time :)
 
 Hang in there SD.  Glad you went "out" and had some fun last night.  If you're looking for an "intellectual" element at a house party or dorm party, try the smokers outside.  There's always a fair bit of chitchat there.
 
 Sounds like your friends are happy to have you home, Russ.
 
 Now I'm home and showered and changed...I HAVE NO PLANS and it feels wonderful.  Time to veg.

Man, I wish I had times when we don't have to plan for something. Like be at home and do ABSOLUTLY NOTHING. *sigh*

  We went to Science World yesterday at the last moment. Gotta use up our Entertainment coupon before it expires Nov of this year. Was pretty packed at the place but the kids had a blast. I'm quite surprised to hear Science World has an adult only pass at night (for a limited time) where you've got to be at least 19 years old to enter. A silly concept. I mean Science World is for kids... what adult would wanna go there unless you have children of your own?

 Lise- I think a lot of adults have an interest in science, but avoid Science World during daylight hours because of the masses of screaming kids.  And they're gonna have a bar open.  How kewl is that?!  I'd take a date to Science World...

since when were smokers at parties interesting to talk to, they're main conversation is who they're going to f that night. yawn.

my idea of a party is 10 people sitting on the couch talking drinking wine, talking about music, theory, politics, life, etc. Not "eh, want to f" conversations. Guess I'm too old for the university crowd.

Adult passes to Science World sounds so much fun.

Good afternoon everyone.

Today is a "get errands done day."  

You guys slept on the turf?  OMGBLESS +1!  :))  I hope that you get to catch up on your sleep, LM.

 SD- this is going to sounds "parental", so I apologize, but I think it's important.
 
 It's really important to talk to lots of different kinds of people in life...and not dismiss anyone who isn't "intellectual" enough.  You have a lot of interests (music, sports, travel, current events, etc.) that can start a common dialogue with just about anyone.  When you finish college and start a career or business, you will be EXPECTED to have good interpersonal skills if you want to succeed.  I'm not asking you to like everyone you meet, or want to spend vast amounts of time with every single person.  But please learn to communicate with the proletariat.
 
 One more thing...don't take yourself so seriously all the time.  Believe me, I'm NOT telling you to go get trashed at every opportunity, but I don't want you to kid yourself about people.... a lot of influential people (writers, politicians, theorists) like to party...  and they certainly did when they were attending college.  A friend of ours goes to Whistler with David Suzuki... who likes to party like a rockstar.

Er..... SD's idea of adult conversation isn't my cuppa tea. I mean, I like adult conversations in general but your kinda view is kinda.... bland. For me anyways. I'm sure there are more intelligent people out there who would love to discuss about politics, wine, whatever. As for me, I'm more about babies, kids and gossip. (eg. did you know Briteny hates wearing underwear? No way! Yes way!) (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  I bet Michel would love to take a date to the Science World adult only time. Be quick about it though, it ends sometime in November. Not sure when but you can always check out their [A href="http://www.scienceworld.bc.ca/"]website[/A]. (OK, I checked their website, it doesn't say when it'll end but I do know it's in November because I saw the sign. Call to ask)

  Doing fine, Lady PC. Work is not too bad, I enjoy it because it keeps me busy and pumping all the time. I'm still not used to the coffee break - it's the most insane thing I've ever heard of! 30 mins paid to have coffee??? The wastage of sterilized bags, sundries is incredible. These students go through them like water and do not know the real cost. What does UBC care? They make tons of money so it's like nothing to them.

  Other than waking up in the dead morning and going home at peak hours, it's been smooth sailing. Thanks for asking.

plus they were all getting way too drunk. Spent most of the night talking to my other friends in another building who weren't going crazy.

  i don't see how when its time to leave a party makes me shallow? I'd hang out with these people any day of the week when they aren't partying, and I do.

 I think you were the only two 'there'.

Do tell more mr Gopher.. that sounds interesting. Ive heard of pemmican of course.. who in canada hasnt if you actually paid attention in school. But Ive never tried any.. where did you get it and how much? Im actually interested to try some.

  Lunch was McChokenPukes.. It was right beside where I picked up my Kegerator Kit. Now I get to pull out the dastardly fridge, paint, and mount teh hardware for draught (sp?) beer. I might even make a thread of that.

  Hope everyones having a fun filled monday.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Oct 22 07 12:46
Hey SD, Russ and Gophie!
 
 Fun-filled Monday is right!  (NOT!)  Getting the errands done.  Then, hopefully I can get some real work done.
 
 Pemmican!  Wow!  I think those of us who grew up in Canada can all write a short-answer question on the importance of pemmican to the fur trade...
 
 I had no idea that pemmican was for sale.  I guess they don't need to worry about the shelf life of pemmican in the store- haha.
 
 Lunch was a yoghurt, piece of 12 grain bread and container of chickpeas&amp;tuna.  Eaten in the car in between the gym and Costco.
 
 purelife- I combined the tuna and chickpeas on a whim, and it's really good.  I drained a can of tuna and a can of chickpeas, combined them in a plastic container with some oil and vinegar.  That should be good for a few days' lunches.  It's pretty tasty...might be better with some spices, though.
 
 Russ...everytime you mention the kegerator it makes me laugh.  WHO (except for you, apparently...) needs their own keg tap at home?!  rofl  Most of us (normal humans) buy a couple bottles and store them in the regular fridge!
 
 Does anyone have pumpkin carving tips?  I'm supposed to carve pumpkins with my Beaver kids next week.  Small serrated knife is best, right?  (ie steak knife?)

I don't know about that Lil Me.....Sawdust might find a kegerator a little bit of fun....lol

  I use an exacto knife, but that probably wouldn't be the best tool for kids I guess.

  This pumpkin I carved a couple years back for a friend who is a Johnny Cash fan.  He worshiped the darn thing.....lol

The pattern came from the website The Pumpkin Wizard.  They are surprizingly simpler than they look.  The have some good free patterns. (at least they used to....haven't checked to see if they still do)

Afternoon everyone.

  I like the word "kerogator."  I think of an alligator and Kermit the frog.  So, if a kermit and an alligator mated, we'll have kerogators. LOL

  That's a WONDERFUL idea about chick peas and tuna, LM.  I don't think I've had those two together on its own like that...it's always with salad or something but for sure, I'll be heading to Superstore tonight to add that on my grocery list.  Have you tried the Country Harvest's Flax Seed bread?  It is delicious too, on its own.

  Lunch for me is shepherd's pie and an apple.

I love flax bread.

  Many years ago, there was a sandwich place at Coquitlam Center called Ruffage.  They had a bread there that was almost black....but it wasn't pumpernickle.  There was also a bakery there that you could order that bread from.  It was the yummiest bread ever.  I wonder if it is still there ?

AFternoon! Well, after all the running around picking up the kit and getting the supposedly already filled CO2 filled. Installed everything, getting the fridge painted rock speckle ( found out its colder than i thought as 30 minutes after I painted it, i touched it and it became one with my hand).. the damn place I ordered my keg from is closed on mondays! Yaargh! I planned on drinking keg beer this afternoon/evening. Ah wells. At least its ready to be keg'd tomorrow.

  Lil Me.. although most normal people dont.. theres actually many many people who do have draught beer at home. Its more for the people that think its a neato addition and have lots of people stop by for drinks. Or people that like lots of cheap beer. Im not sure where I fall into except all of the above, lol.

  The kits not too bad. It was 310 with tax for all the junk, except the fridge and the 15.50 charge for filling the co2 bottle. It took me about 2 hours to get it installed. Oh, it helps to have a digital thermometer, like the ones you use for doing roasts and stuff, thats on a wire you can string up inside the fridge and run it out of the door to the front. Ive been told to set my fridge to around 34-38 deg F and to keep the CO2 pressure at 12 pounds. Ill see. Im putting a small whiteboard on the front of it for them to mark whenever they take one, and telling everyone its 5 bucks for 3 pints of beer. That will pay for the CO2, the beer, and the electricity. I think.

  Wow, I have had soooo many phone calls the last few days for people that want to do dinners and such. Then the second question I got from a few of them is afterwards they wanted to head back over to my place cause my kegerator is ready right? lol.

I actually do a few batches of UBrew everytime Im home. Its about 90-120 for 96 pints of beer, then you pay about 30 bucks for cans or 60 bucks for reusable plastic bottles.

  I got tired of having a million cans and bottles rolling around everywhere.

  The actual kind I have is a bumblebee lager.. its a medium coloured honey beer.

 purelife- I'm eating the Silver Hills 16 grain sprouted bread (no flour- made with all sprouted grains).  About $5 for a pack of 2 loaves at Costco.
 
 I usually eat 2-3 meals (I don't always eat dinner anymore) plus snacks.  My eating isn't very regimented, but it probably should be.  I just try to make sure the snacks are healthy- fruit, a spoon of nutbutter, whatever.

Michel wrote:
hum, I feel thirsty suddenly lol

Does it taste like a Sleemans honey lager (do they have this brand here ???)

Which commercial beer would taste kind of similar would you say?

  Yes, its pretty close to Sleemans honey brown. I tend to like that beer, 1516, and believe it or not, brahima.. that new brazillian beer.

The main difference is that the U Brew stuff Im getting is around 6.5%.. and it is a bit more of a body taste to it.. still its similar.

  Why wouldnt sleemans be here? It only comes from Guelph

Illegal meaning no business licence and often operating past "last call" at night.
 [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speakeasy"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speakeasy[/a]
 
 
 I recently read a book where the illegal bar was called a "shebeen".  In the story, the business was a bar/loan shark operation where the owner let people drink on credit, then collected huge interest payments at the end of the month.

Got back from Superstore and made sure I picked up canned chick peas.  I also brought canned lentils and mixed bean medley....couldn't resist.

So, for dinner, I had Superstore chicken and lentils and a mandarin orange.  

And, I already made my can of tuna and chick peas for my lunch tomorrow, thanks to Lil Me for reminding me about how GOOD peas/lentils/beans are! :)))

Good Morning!

Today is the day I get the keg for the kegerator! &lt;excited&gt;

I think Im going to be drunk by noon today. Ya gotta test this stuff you know.

  I hate the rain right now. I cant work on my truck :( I have lots to do on it yet!

  Hey uh, Im sure everyone knows this.. but just a bit of helpful advice. When you are making coffee on a coffeemaker with one of those little valves that closes off the coffee dripping as its brewing if you pull out the coffee pot.. make sure the pot is all the way back in. Otherwise it keeps brewing, the coffee doesnt go in the coffee pot, and it will go ALL OVER the counter and get everything sitting there near the coffee maker thats minding its own business. Including the morning paper you are waiting to read.

Ask me how I know this.. grrrr.

HAHAHAHAAAAA.....what a great way to start the day.

  Coffee, beer....and a wet newspaper.  Russ...sorry for laughing....it's one of the rudest awakenings there is....mopping up coffee. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]

  It struck my funnybone, because I'm sure most of us has done it at least once. (then again, some of us are slow learners and have done it repeatedly)  Well......not ME of course.....rofl.

 I resemble this remark. Its not the first time the Sun and National Post have gotten wet.. thank goodness for online editions.

Oh dear Russ......what a morning!  

  Are you taking anything, SD, besides the cough drops?  Nowadays, sleeping just doesn't cut it.  You have to take medicine, I think.  If you go to the Dr's, he'll just prescribe you antibiotics and those are quite pricey.

 What a nice day today.
 
 It's a total zoo today in my neighbourhood.  Two large development construction sites in the same cul de sac, our  underground parking lot had to be emptied to clean the sewer stacks, now the elevator contractors are here.  (All we need now is the garbage truck, the gardening contractors, and a couple of moving vans...)

Not a great deal, I've been putting up with builders at work for the last six weeks and am presently wondering how to spend the five days holiday I have to take before the end of December (hate to think that I may end up just staying at home). What else? Oh yes, meeting plenty of REAL 'characters' who manage to confuse the daily round. All part of life's rich pattern I suppose, but sometimes I could do with its being a little LESS rich.

Speaking of cold remedys, there's also zinc tablets/drops that you could take prior to getting a cold.  I've taken them when I've noticed that I may be coming with something and it actually works.  Any drug store would sell them.

Good Morning!

It was a beautiful day yesterday.. was even more beautiful when I inserted the keg into the kegerator at 3 pm... I barely remember coming inside around 7 pm last night after my friends left. I think we made a good dent in it. I cant remember.

Im going to have to get some standard pint glasses for it.. does anyone know where to get them? Easily get them that is.. not order them in.

  So i managed to lose my cell phone somewhere in the living room of the house as well. I heard it beeping low battery this morning, so I called it and mid ring it died! Now Im on break from tearing up the living room.. lol.

  Does anyone know if its going to be sunny today?

Hey SD and Russ.
 
 Russ- there are a bunch of restaurant supply stores on E. Hastings and Powell/Dundas.  The pint glasses are usually only about $1 each on a good day.  (mind you, I shouldn't tell you to go to a restaurant supply store- you'll walk out with a commercial oven, a deep fryer, a broiler and 17 dozen ash trays...)
 
 Looks like a good morning here so far.  Ground is wet, but it isn't raining.
 
 Taking Heckyl to go buy glasses for the first time.

 Here you go again, generalizing things.  :P

 Those seem to be popular but I wouldn't say that "everybody" wears them.  And these frames also depend on the type of face shape you have too, not just the length of hair.  I'm not a professional, but this is my opinion from what I've seen others wearing.  I've seen girls with short hair wearing black rectangle glasses looking HAWT and guys look great in them too.

Glad Heckyl likes his new eyeglasses, Lil Me.  He will love them even more as he discovers the world a little more clearly.  

  I opted for not having the anti reflective lenses, because I seem to be a bit of a slob when it comes to my glasses.  They are perpetually gummed up....even when I will swear that I never touch the lenses....lol  (hub is always mortified at the condition on my glasses)  I only wear them for the computer, so they are off and on a billion times a day)

Good to hear that Heckyl likes his stylish glasses. Do you have to give him a string to tie around his frames?  I remember doing that when I was younger, when I had sports.

Dinner was chicken drumsticks with caesar salad.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Oct 24 07 08:21
It tasted good- a bit "squishy" in texture and less coconutty than a regular coconut.
 
 I don't have a cleaver.  I poked the eye of the coconut with a screwdriver, drained the milk (which was actually clear)- and then smacked the coconut a bunch of times with a hammer.  Scooped the meat out with a spoon.
 
 I had Subway a few times during the summer.  It has gotten waaaay more expensive!  (mind you, I remember when the foot long veggie sub was $2.99 or something silly like that)

 Screwdriver is a good idea!  I prefer that to the meat cleaver.  You don't like to drink the coconut juice?  

For sandwiches Michel, you'll LOVE The Deli in the Royal Centre.  They make fresh sandwiches where you pick your bread, deli slices, toppings, etc.  And everything is super duper healthy.  They have all kinds of deli meat from bavarian smokie, to proscuitto, to garlic ham, etc and their breads are totally yummy.  On Friday's, it's $4.99.

Good morning! Well, another day is off and running...

  I use a drill to get into the coconut, and then I use a hand saw or a sawzall, it actualy helps in leaps and bounds if you put that bad boy in a vice. Coconuts are fun.. I get a few at times before a party and cut the tops off, then jam a straw into them and walk around drinking out of a coconut. Great conversation starter.

  So its day 2 for me trying to find a place to get my eyes examined.. I decided I should get new glasses about three months ago cause I get headaches from my glasses. And my glasses are kinda rectangular. I didnt pick em I must say.

Good morning guys!

  That's funny, I have to get my eyes checked too.  I just had my reminder appointment in the mail the other day but have been postponing it... *bad purelife*  I don't have rectangle glasses, just round ones, but now that you guys have been mentioning them, I definitely want rectangle glasses, with black frames.  

  I think that it'll suit me just fine.  Oh, another thing.  When someone looks at me, when I have my glasses on, my eyes appear smaller and you can see the frame of my face in the glasses.  I think it's because of the fact that my glasses are high prescription.  Does anyone know how to get rid of this?  Do I need wider glasses?

Why are you having difficulties getting an eye appointment?  Are they all booked up?[/DIV]
 :) Thanks PC.

Yeah had some probs getting an appointment. Went to 5 places yesterday. Two of them I will never ever go back to cause of how rude they were to me. Dont care if they are cheaper and more close to me.. customer service is a big one to me.

  Gots an appointment now however.

 Good morning guys!



That's funny, I have to get my eyes checked too.  I just had my reminder appointment in the mail the other day but have been postponing it... *bad purelife*  I don't have rectangle glasses, just round ones, but now that you guys have been mentioning them, I definitely want rectangle glasses, with black frames.  



I think that it'll suit me just fine.  Oh, another thing.  When someone looks at me, when I have my glasses on, my eyes appear smaller and you can see the frame of my face in the glasses.  I think it's because of the fact that my glasses are high prescription.  Does anyone know how to get rid of this?  Do I need wider glasses?  

 EDIT: I was putting something here but I removed it.

Russ, go to Factory Optical in Vancouver.  I've been going there for years.  Mention my name and I'm pretty sure the guy will give you 10% off (or maybe more).  And yes, you can negotiate prices with them.

      I agree wholeheartedly with this comment 'bless'!!!!!!!!!

 Sorry PL

 

 So just got back from Home Depot.. went shower insert shopping all over and called places out to chilliwack even. Fawk are they expensive for showers! For some places they sell the base and no backdrop, some sell the base then optional backdrop thats three piece.. not one piece (read leaks).. and that STILL doesnt include the frontal doors which vary again! Some of them are some new artsy fartsy looking things with wierdo designs that Im sure even hippy people dont like. The prices for most of them were like 1500-2k! Some of them dont like you calling their products hippy inspired either.

 Finally went to home depot and got a decent one in my opinion. The one piece backdrop, with glass doors/panels, and the base unit. Still had to pay 300 for the drain, faucet, and shower controls though.

 heres the unit: [A href="http://www.maax.com/en/Products/ProductInfo.aspx?Brand=7&amp;CodeCategory=B&amp;ProductType=10&amp;Product=1759"]http://www.maax.com/en/Products/ProductInfo.aspx?Brand=7&amp;CodeCategory=B&amp;ProductType=10&amp;Product=1759[/A]

Allo everyone!
 
 I had an adventure with the garburator this morning.  Apparently there were coconut shell pieces jammed in there (I thought I got them all into the garbage can...) and the thing was so tightly jammed the hex wrench wouldn't turn.  After a lot of work, it's working again!
 
 SD- I like NyQuil and DayQuil (or the non-name drugstore brand of the same thing).
 
 purelife- I've cooked eggplant lasagne.  I salted the sliced eggplant and put paper towels, then something heavy (plate weighted down with cans of soup) on top, to squish and "sweat" the liquid out.  Squeeze as much liquid out as you can, then rinse off the salt and add to the lasagne.
 
 I'm not a huge eggplant fan.  There's an enzyme in it that irritates my mouth.

We also dont have the population density. But you probably know this by now as youve lived there longer than the time ive spent there! lol.

It's definitely cooler out there....but still doesn't have that bite in the air yet.

  I have found a new love.  Yes....it's true.

  A leaf blower.  

  I've poo-pood them for years, presuming they wouldn't do the job.  I figured once the leaves were wet and decaying, and stuck to the gravel driveway....they wouldn't budge without taking half the driveway with it.  Well.....I was wrong.  It works well.  It doesn't do as 'tiddley' a job as raking.....but it sure takes the bulk of the work out of it.  (hard on the back though)  I'm having a wee break.

Hey Gophie.....do you plant spring bulbs in the fall ?  If so, can you tell me if you put anything in with them.....like bone meal or something ?????  I never plant spring bulbs, as the deer get them before they're an inch out of the ground.....but I thought I'd give it another shot this year. They deserve a tender treat as we continue to build houses all over their territory.

  But it's been a while, and I can't remember what I used to do.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Gopher on Oct 27 07 11:35
I just stick 'em in and hope for the best. Actually I do very little planting of spring bulbs, I just rely on the same ones coming back year after year - they usually do. Incidentally, big surprise, my primroses have started to come into flower again.

    I agre with you, the deer DO deserve a tender treat. I wonder what bulbs are particularly deer friendly?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Oct 27 07 11:38
I just adore watching something creep up through the soil in the spring.  I think it's less about the flower than it is about seeing spring start its work.

  Well, I must get back to work.

  Have a good day, Gophie and Lil Me.

  The old part of Nanaimo used to be quite the funky place, but has gone down the tubes the last few years.  There used to be cool gifty type stores and gourmet kitchen stuff stores.  Awesome clothing that you didn't see in every mall.  Don't know what it's like now, but it was once very cool.

I did white water rafting in Switzeland... or was it Austria. Can't remember. Man, what a rush! Totally love it but ask if I'll do it again and I'll chicken out. I mean, WHAT THE HELL was I thinking back then? I could have died!! Ah well, it was an experience I won't be telling my kids. Hehe.

  I got a headache. Stupid, stupid, stupid caffeine withdrawal symptom. I tell ya.... everyday waking to the crack of dawn and drinking tea just to get me by. Now I take one day off tea and I've a splitting headache. What do ppl do when they're not high on coffee or tea? Ack!

  Work's been going swell. I still have a lot to learn. I'm also learning that ppl do stab each other in the back frequently and there are a lot of territorial issues that I just don't understand. I'm going solo on one big 'pull project' by myself on Tuesday and I'm a little stressed out about it. Heck, I've only been shown how to do it once and assisted once.... oh well... I'm sure I can pick it up as I go along. I sooo soo want to be good by the end of one month but I think I've got to learn so much more.

  Looking forward to the Christmas party. We've got a big pot luck party with everyone and the funniest part is hearing how we will heat everything up in the giant autoclave. Like I know we sterilized instruments in there but heating up food as well???? Gack. I'm bringing salad and sticking to that. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/10.gif)

  I think death defying stunts are meant for us to do before we get any notion that it could be dangerous.....LOL

    Why are you off coffee Lise ?  Is this something you MUST do....or just a personal health choice.  I drink coffee, but never worry about it.  I have one (and on rare occasion 2) cups a day....and usually before 8 in the morning.  I consider that 'moderation' and don't worry about it at all.  Apparently an apple will give the same boost as a cup of coffee.

  We're all proud of ya Lise.  You'll pick things up just fine....they wouldn't have hired you, if they didn't believe you were capable of doing so.

  I don't really like the taste of coffee, PC. I guess it comes with growing up in Malaysia and Australia where we're mostly tea drinkers (Long live England!!). Coffee kinda upsets my tummy a lot so I mainly just stick to tea. I like good quality tea although this batch I got at home sucks. If you guys ever want to buy tea, don't ever buy Red Rose tea. Sooooo bad. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/10.gif)

  Aaa, thanks for the words of encouragement again, guys. I'm sure the project will be ok. Heck, if you don't hear from me, you can find my grave at the UBC clinic.....

 Finally home after a crazy day.  Took Mr LM to the airport, donated blood, and had a Halloween party with my Beaver kids.  We carved pumpkins, painted wooden bats and punpkins, and painted the paper mache pumpkins they started last week.  What...a....night.
 
 Time for a cocktail, then off to bed!
 
 p.s.  Had a wonderful lunch at Everybody Loves Veggies in the food court at City Square.  I just love that place.  Vegan Shepherd's pie and pumpkin cheesecake.

Morning everyone.

  Where's City Square, LM?  Woah, that's weird that you mentioned about donating blood.  I had a dream last night that I was going to this outdoor place to donate some blood.  It was sunny outside, and there was this huge outdoor tent.  In my dream, I was worried about them taking too much and it draining the energy and life out of me.  

  It sounds like you had a busy day yesterday.  How many kids do you have in your Scouts group?

  So far, that G I G A N T I C tarantula across from my view hasn't moved.  So, it's safe to continue working.

I've got an idea for you.   Buy a bag of 'em and use them to draw a BIG heart shape on the master bed.  Then, surprise Miss Starfish with rose petals leading to the master bed.  Then, peel one hershey kiss and feed it to her.  Lick it first and then... ;)  The rest is HISTORY! LOL

I had a pomegranate last night.. well had to split it actually when Starfish noticed I appeared with one. I asked her if she would peel it for me and her retort was not PG 13.

  Well, we hacked up our pumpkins last night in readyness for the little chidlets to come by. Also got a number of phone calls from friends whom plan on coming by for some drinks and to blow holes in my backyard apparently.

  I went out to a place on Annacis island earlier and after telling them what I wanted and assured they would and could do it I left for an hour to have lunch. After sitting down I get a call, 'uh could you come back sir theres something we need to discuss with you'.

'why, I just got my lunch, tell me what it is'

'I have to show you sir.. its not possible to tell you over the phone'

So I sighed, paid for our meals and grabbed the burgers, slammed the drinks and went back. The idiot got the hose with the special connections on the ends... and said.. which connections go on which end. wtf??? its unidirectional! not only that but the metal ends will only fit on one way. I then sat there for the last hour watching the idiot do it cause they wouldnt let me do my own for insurance reasons.

    Hey.. anyone else get those olympic plates? I got talked into it by my insurance chick.

Her older sister enjoyed going out for tricks n treat but refused to say 'trick or treat' so I ended up saying them for her at each house.

  Not many kiddies this year which is weird. We usually run out of chocolates by the end of the night but not last night. Where are the kids? Oh well. I'll probably bring some to work to share with the staff members.

  Gonna go out today and see if I can score some cheap 1/2 price chocolates from Superstore.

Morning!
 We did an indoor Halloween in a church basement last night.  Heckyl and Jeckyl played games and collected candy, and it was nice to be indoors and comfortable!  We were home and in bed by a reasonable hour.
 
 Looks like it's gonna be a nice day.

Poor little Lise Jr Jr.  She'll probably be more into it next year.

  I think that's the answer these days Lil Me.  Indoor parties held in a place you trust.  (that also partly answers Lise's question....'where are all the kids?'

    Beautiful day out there again.  There is an eagle making quite a racket out there....I'm worried that it sounds like it might be injured.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/10.gif)

Morning DS'ers!

  Well, we didnt get as many kidlets this year. We got just under a hundred.

  My brother and I had a few friends pop in and we blew off a whackload of fireworks I bought as well as some firecrackers. In the backyard.. waited till 930 and did it in the back away from the trick or treaters.

  Many many people were blowing off fireworks and crackers around here, sounded like a war zone lol.

  Yes.....something that looks similar.  He's very close, and yet I can't see him.  Hmmm.   I hope he is ok.  Maybe he's just the noisy sort, but his sounds are different than normal.

LOL about that President Choice joke, Michel!  You are funny.... meet? ;)

  Good morning everyone.

  I think my dentist's practice has lots of money because they also handed out packages of Dentyne gum.  

  I have a question for you guys and hoping for an opinion.

  A few weeks ago, my friend asked me to be her date (not the kind of date you're thinking of) to this event.  I told her that it's a maybe because it's too soon to tell if I could go.  Well, she ended up buying two tickets because she knows that the events sells out VERY quickly. (which is true).  But now, I can't make it and I feel guilty that she has already brought these tickets.  I feel like I have to pay her back or something, but I never said yes or no to her and didn't tell her to buy the tickets.  What do you guys think?      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 01 07 10:01
I understand how you would feel a wee bit guilty, but I think it's a little misplaced.

  If the situation were reversed, and YOU were the one that took it upon yourself to buy the tickets 'on a MAYBE', I bet you would not expect the other person to compensate you for your decision.  She jumped the gun of her own choice.  A heartfelt "thankyou for thinking of me, I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding someone else to go", will suffice.

It's been a great morning so far.

Who could ask for anything more? However, it's the first of my two days off, so that's something - and, of course, Im'm glad to be with all at DS.

Halibut for dinner here.  I couldn't decide how I wanted it, so I split it up and cooked it every way.  I lobbed off a couple cubes, and bacon wrapped them (like scallops).  I cut a couple thin strips to batter and fry and the rest was sauteed.  Yum.  I love halibut.  (oh yea....green salad and some baby red pontiacs.)

  Just got the flu shot on Thursday. Hasn't anyone gotten the flu shot before? I felt kinda... sick-ish the following day. Like Friday was just awful for me. I woke up feeling flushed and horrid, like I was sick but not sick enough to not go to work. And boy, did my left arm hurt like crazy. Now I don't feel like getting the flu shot next year.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Nov 03 07 07:57
I guess it's pretty normal reaction to feel a bit 'sick' when you're getting a flu shot. Different reaction for different folks, I guess. I'm sure it's a good thing to get a flu shot... I haven't been sick as often nor severely. *knock on wood*

  JJ - if your company is paying for the flu shots, you should really get it. It's a good thing to get when someone else is paying for me. We get ours for free because we live with our in-laws who are over 60 or 65 years old. (can't remember what criteria). You also get it free if you're under 18 years old or have lifelong complications like diabetes.

  I get mine because I work in a medical field.

  PC - do let us know how your butter chicken went! Would love to hear all about it!

Hey SD!! Glad to hear that you like Victoria. It's a tad sleepy for  me but that's just me. It is definitely more relaxing than the busy buzz of Vancouver.

  Did you really like the Noodle Box? I thought it was..... well, it wasn't as authentic as I thought it would be. My dish was a bit too sweet. The price you pay was damn outrageous but then again everything in Victoria was pricey. I guess that's what you get when you're in the middle of booming tourist spot.

  We love Victoria for family vacation. We've been there every year since the wee ones were born but next year we'll probably try for the States for a change.

I haven't cooked lamb chops much Lise.....but for a rack of lamb (which I suppose is the same thing uncut), a rub of garlic, a little coating of Dijon and a roll in some breadcrumbs is scrummy.  

  The butter chicken was delish.....a tad spicy for me, but I loved the flavour. I would definitely do it again.

  Victoria IS nice.....a little too busy for me, but a pretty city for sure.  Glad you had a good time there SD.

 No bones in sushi, my gentle fawn.  You don't need to worry about choking on any.
 
 SD- glad you had a good trip to Victoria and back.
 
 My dinner was not very exciting- a conglomeration of rice noodles, tofu, vegetables and tomato sauce.  It was quick and easy.  Then off to church (our congregation has a choice of Sat night or Sunday because the building isn't big enough).

 Im still trying to convince Starfish to go to the maritime museum with me.

 We ended up going out to dinner at a bar called Hudson's Landing in Marpole area.. I give it two thumbs down. Starfish is feeling funny after her fettuccini (sp?), my ham and cheese was hard like a rock with the edges burnt, chicken strips were hard, lamb burger was processed cold patty.. the others werent worth mentioning.. too bad really.

 We also had a sad appearance from a friend.. he showed up unexpectedly as he was in the hospital visiting his dad earlier that day, we didnt call cause of that. He came in with his gf, sat down and started really egging us on and bringing up embarrasing stories. We just all kinda sat there and played along thinking bad day.. then he announced his father died.. So we all went along with whatever he wanted to do last night.

  That's sad Russ.......and a little bit weird.  I guess you can expect peoples' minds to be all over the map when they are going through this.  I'm sure he meant no harm, even though that doesn't make you feel much better while you're in the middle of it.

The Maritime Museum is in the Entertainment Coupon book.
 I haven't been there for years, but I enjoyed the St Roch portion of it.
 I like anthropology and human history more than natural history.

Breakfast stirfry sounds good.. and a pretty good idea for next breaky I try. Although the zuchini in it will never happen with me.

  Breakfast for Starfish, myself and my brother was borsche.

  YEah.. we have that coupon but havent used it yet. I do agree with you on the history of things over a rock's anatomy.

smithsonian.
ellis island mp3 guided tour by Tom Brokaw
Capital Hill, in order to get a ticket you've got to go to one of your senators office that represents you (if you are american, don't know about internationals) this involves taking the senators private underground metro train. Where you are then sitting in a train car with actual senators. We were with John Kerry in ours.

now that i think about, getting the tickets are more interesting then the actual tour.

Hey Lil Me!

I just steam them until they're soft inside.  I like to eat 'em when they're hot because they don't taste so good cold.  I just get the tip of the knife to open 'em up.  

I had a pomegranate the other night but it wasn't as sweet as PC's. :(((

Got lots to do tomorrow.. get parts and work on the truck which is finally back at my place again.

Starfish saw me get a bit angry tonight with something I was tinkering with on the truck.. hehe. Lets just say when your hand slips when you are loosening a bolt and you graze your knuckles, stand up quickly from under neath the vehicle then bang your head on the bottom lip of the door cause its open.. she knows not to be anywhere in the near vicinity. I still cant find the wrench I was using.

Evening everyone - what a busy day at work.  

Did you enjoy the chicken shawarma, Michel?

Nothing fancy for dinner - had a simple 2-egg omelet, handful of chick peas and a piece of toast with almond butter.

SD - chicken and ground beef is really cheap especially when you visit the asian markets, ie. T&amp;T Supermarket.  I'm not sure if you have this supermarket there.  

ADD:  Michel - I'd go with no chopstick and plastic fork and bring your own fork or use one from your work's kitchen. ;)

Well, SD- we can all sympathize with your situation.  It's a financial strain to leave home for the first time, but YOU CAN DO THIS!  (we did!)  I ate a lot of peanut butter, instant noodles, and homemade muffins.  Mr LM ate KD and hot dogs (cooked in toaster).  Actually, Mr LM was the king of 1-dish meals during uni- cooked KD or hamburger helper and added a handful of frozen veg to the same pot.  Eat it out of the pot and you only have to wash a pot and a spoon!

I know! Its always those breakfast 24/7 open 24hrs places that seem cool at night but during the day not so.
Back in the midwest we have this food chain called Steak 'n Shake, its open 24hrs, its fast food but it looks like a 50's diner. Only cool to go to past 10.

Afternoon everyone.  I've never tried Denny's, don't think I will...heard that it was disgusting food.  I prefer late late night pho.  Mmmmm....

  Lunch is a chicken breast with harvarti cheese sandwich (just plain - no mayo etc) with snap peas and raspberries.

  I feel so much better having 5-6 mini meals a day.  I used to eat whenever and anything and sometimes cut meals.

 i read somewhere that 5 to 6 small meals is good for you, but don't quote me on that.

Well of course Michel, why would I order from the seniors menu?

Denny's is typical Americana 50's diner, open 24/7. I'd take late night chinese food myself but no small towns in the u.s. have that except for the big huge cities.
Denny's got big because they served breakfast 24/7 and was the only thing open past 10.

Denny's, Dairy Queen and The Waffle House. They're in every small town. That's all there was until about 15 years ago in most places. You became a "town" when dairy queen showed up, you became a place to be when a Denny's moved in.

well I was hungry at 3pm. cooked about 3 servings, I think. Ate it, then was like "i need to take a nap". woke up two hours later.

it was like going to the olive garden. Most dangerous people on the road are the peeps coming from Olive Garden. The deadly chicken parm with red wine = zombies on the road.

When you eat that much carb at once, your blood sugar spikes, causing massive insulin production from your pancreas.  Yes, it makes you tired.  
 
 Mind you, I shouldn't talk.  I'm munching on half a pumpkin scone (SO GOOD!) from Cobs bread, because I just walked in the door and I'm exhuasted.  Note to self: do not eat when tired.  Sleep instead!
 
 It was a very late meeting tonight, and I have another 2 nights of this left this week.  *sigh* What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Traditional in what sense, Michel? Am I missing something here?

  Good evening people. Seems I'm missing out on a lot of stuff here at DS-ville. These past few days have been interesting. For one thing, the power went out at UBC so everything came to a halt for at least 30 mins. The students were starting to celebrate the fact that they were gonna go home earlier than usual then the power came back and we all had to shift gear. But ever since the power went out, the computer's been acting up (cannot print request forms) and the guy in charge of the computers went AWOL. I guess he's had enough of students and staff complaints. I would too if I were in his shoes.

  Then today... just 20 mins before I leave for home, the fire alarm went on. And of course, like a dutiful and responsible staff member that I am (haha - note the sarcasm) I went out the building in my lab coat and scrubs with an exodus of students following me. (pretty darn clever considering I know nothing about fire codes and what the hell to do since I'm new.... ) Students were like "where do we go?" and I'm like, "How the frack should I know?" K... so I'm gonna go out the entrance and before I knew it, I was leading my flock to safety. [FONT color=#ff0000]Now I know how Moses must have fel[/FONT]t. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/13.gif)

  Anyways, NOBODY in the staff room actually left the building in a hurry because they all went to their lockers, got dressed and then left for home. Not me, no sirreee, I had to be the ONLY Dispensary Staff who actually stood with the students. On the plus side, I got to meet this totally HOT HOT HOT FIREFIGHTER. OMG. He's so damn cute, with them gorgeous eyes and brilliant smile. Teh Lise had to ask him if she and the rest of her flock could return to the Land of Milk and Honey but he shook his god-like head and said not yet. Well, OK... just as long as I can stare at him while I wait.

  Then we all get to go back, I had to make a dash to close up everything which my co-workers left but at least I can now say I know what to do when there's a fire alarm. The new Lise Rule: Run like hell to your locker, grab everything and screw the fire rule.

  So that's my day. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

I officially cast my vote as a pumpkin hater right now. Don't get me wrong, I love eating pumpkin and whatever but getting rid of my giantic pumpkin after Halloween isn't exactly my cuppa tea.

  Did I ever tell you this fantastic plan that I have to get rid of the pumpkin by burying it in our yard? I mean how hard can it get to dig a big hole then dump the pumpkin in? It's good for compost afterall... however, nobody told me I couldn't dig beyond a few centimetres - ie. struck hard clay soil after a few inches. So now I have a delightful half pumpkin dome in my yard. Well, at least it's added color to a somewhat drabby looking patch.

  No more real pumpkin for me next year. I went out and bought a fake one from Shoppers. Best value to date.

Good morning Lil Me and Michel

  And a fine looking Friday it is.  I think I'll spend the day in the workshop.

  Anybody have any plans for the weekend?  Not going on any lion hunts Michel?

 You could stay downtown Vancouver and take your chances with the cougars!
 
 No major plans for me.  Remembrance Day parade and ceremony with Scouts on the 11th.  Besides that, depends on weather.  I could use some hibernation time with books and tea!

Good morning Lil Me, SD, PC, Russ, Michel and JJ.

  Curling up in bed with tea and reading/finishing a good book sounds like a grand way to relax and something I plan to do as well this weekend. :)

  TGIF for SURE!  I could so get out of work NOW and sip some martinis.  I remember at my last job, the ladies there would have red wine or martinis at around 3 ish.  Good times!  :)))

  No plans yet for the weekend.  We might head down to the States, go swimming with some friends... not sure yet.

 I officially cast my vote as a pumpkin hater right now. Don't get me wrong, I love eating pumpkin and whatever but getting rid of my giantic pumpkin after Halloween isn't exactly my cuppa tea.



Did I ever tell you this fantastic plan that I have to get rid of the pumpkin by burying it in our yard? I mean how hard can it get to dig a big hole then dump the pumpkin in? It's good for compost afterall... however, nobody told me I couldn't dig beyond a few centimetres - ie. struck hard clay soil after a few inches. So now I have a delightful half pumpkin dome in my yard. Well, at least it's added color to a somewhat drabby looking patch.



I threw my four pumpkins into the compost bins we have down the back. We put all organics, eggshells, and even some grass (most of it goes to the city however)



No more real pumpkin for me next year. I went out and bought a fake one from Shoppers. Best value to date.[/DIV]

You really don't even need to bury your punky Lise.  When they decompose, which they do quickly, they collapse to almost nothing.  Just setting it it the garden will feed the soil.  You can also still cook and use your pumpkin for muffins etc after his duty as a jack-o-lantern, if you use an old thrift-store lamp instead of a candle.

  You should go to Me n Jeckyls.  Hawaiian and bacon is the yummiest.

  Pho is one of those culinary adventures I'd like to go on, but I don't do well with spicy.....are there options in this.....or would it lose something.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Nov 09 07 08:57
Plain pho isn't spicy.  You'll like it.  It's a beef broth with meat and noodles.  It only gets spicy when you add the hot sauce and chiles.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 09 07 09:02
Oh really?  I don't know where I got the notion it was spicy.  I'd love to give it a try.....my mouth always waters a wee bit when everyone talks about it. *drooolllzzzz

  I also found a fabulous recipe for pot stickers in one of my billion recipe books....so I may do those with the hot pot tomorrow night.  This one is The Complet Chinese and Asian Cookbook, and I think I gained 5 pounds just reading it tonight.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Nov 09 07 09:08
Don't worry, you probably thought it was spicy because a lot of us pile in the chiles and hot sauce.
 
 Mmmmm.  Potstickers sounds yummy.  They also sell frozen potstickers at Costco.  The Ling Ling brand.

Yes....I love those things.....have bought them for years.  I like it when I find out that things that I think are complicated are really quite easy.  One of the fellows that is coming for dinner is hugely alergic to sesame.....so making the sauces and things myself will make me feel better.

 Hey Russ-o-boy, what the heck's wrong with a fake pumpkin? Me don't have to kill a real life pumpkin next Halloween so it's good right? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Lil Me - I hate digging... which would explain why I'm missing a shovel. BTW, I know the potstickers you're talking about. A friend of ours love them and keeps bringing them to our potluck. Delicious stuff! Ling Ling rocks!! Especially the yummy sauce.

  Oh er... can you believe when I went to work on Friday, UBC had a break-in? Yup. Apparently someone tried to break into the dental building using a employee's card (he failed to report it went missing... uh-oh for him) and they attempted to remove the safe from the office room. Ja... like UBC is so rich it keeps cash overnight. Anyways, they couldn't remove the safe so they left everything. We think it's definitely an inside job.

  What a weird week. First the power outage, then fire alarm and now a break-in. Never thought work would be so interesting.[/DIV]

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Nov 11 07 01:10
Hey All!
 
 Laser Tag was at Crash Crawly's.  There's a coupon in the Entertainment Book.  (there's also a coupon for Planet Laser on Braid in NW, but haven't been there yet).  Great fun for kids and adults!  The flack jacket is bit heavy, so a kid needs to be robust enough to wear it while running.  Jeckyl is small, but he's tough- so he had no problem with it.
 
 Back from the Parade to the Cenotaph and ceremony there.  4 planes flew overhead in formation at 11am.  Couldn't tell you what kind.
 
 Lunch was hot dogs and hot chocolate put on by the Legion after the ceremony.

 Mr LM is on the roof of the complex with our neighbour.  Our plumbing contractors dropped a 30ft snake down a roof vent and couldn't retrieve it.  The contractors want to knock out 3 bathroom walls to find it...then Mr LM had an idea using the "rare earth magnets" from Lee Valley and rope.

Went over to Starfishies and moved two truck loads of junk to the dump. Lots of it was from the basement where her brother lives.. he had a flood and had to remove everything.. wow, that junk stunk moldy like.

  Thats too bad Lil Me about the Sani Snake.. I was gonna say just leave it cause its a vent.. but yeah, probably should if its a building like that and the contractor did it. They are paying for it right? Not the occupants?

 Exactly. The contractors are paying for it.  My friend, who works in the pipe inspection industry, told me it should come out.  It's only 1.5" copper pipe- apparently that is considered small for a vent in a complex our size.

 Evening everyone

Will the Contractors be paying for the extra damage they have done?  I sure hope so if they are at fault.

Our parent's basement flooded once and it just reeked.  I know that it's really bad for you to smell it too.  I know someone who lived in a basement suite in Slur-ville and her suite had terrible mould.  She was often sick...I'm glad that she moved outta there.  

I'm glad that the wind finally died down.  It wasn't easy to sleep last night, but the nice part was pizza at Me N Eds. :))

grilling brats in a skillet. I figured out how to simulate grilling on a skillet. just put a thick plate over the skillet and it traps the heat. brilliant!

You could use a pot lid that fits over your skillet.  That way, you don't have to use a fork to lift the plate and risk getting burned.

Does anyone use an apple slicer?  I used it for the FIRST time ever a month ago and recently brought one from WalMart.  I love it.  :))  It's my lazy way out of cutting apples. :P

Good morning Russ

  Looks like a decent day out there.  The Sunday night winds were frightening....(not as bad as last years storm though), so there was no sleep happening.  We lost our power yesterday morning, so left the house around noon.  Took a little tour through Comox, which was hit the hardest.  What a mess.

  We had tickets to the Cirque Sublime in Nanaimo last night, but didn't get word that the show was on until 5:00.  They had no power either.  But the show did go on.

  Well, I think I will try and get some flooring going on in the new guest room.  *yawn....not enough sleep last night again.

  My guy's bday is coming up and I'm just drawing blanks..... Last year, a bunch of our friends gathered at our place and had food (catered by moi) and we went ice-skating.  It was surprisingly fun and he enjoyed it.  

  This year, I don't have that much money to prepare all the food for our guests so, it'll just have to be him and I.  

  I could always prepare a nice dinner and/or go out for dinner, but wondering if anyone may have other ideas?

 Erm.. I appear to have walkied in at the wrong time.

So how about them Blue Jays with their star quarterback Pavel Bure?

    Tonights din din is the extra thick costco burgers, with cheese, mushrooms, bacon, and an egg with teh usuall trimmings.

  purelife......how are you with the idea of a pot-luck ?  Lots of interesting combinations happen on these things.  Then all you have to do is bake a cake. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

 All of our group with G/F's went out to dinner (everyone went dutch but had presents for the the bday guy) then went on to Mugs and Jugs for a bit. Maybe you've heard of it PL? I would suggest it, its a nice friendly neighborhood bar thats really girl friendly. Guys really like it too for some reason.

  PC's suggestion is really good... other than that what about everyone going out for dinner, doing dutch, then heading somewhere else? Like ice skating you said?

Hey Everyone!  Busy day, so I missed DS lunch :(  But Mr LM took me for brekky at De Dutch mid-morning.
 
 Mr LM fixed our chronically noisy phone line!  It had been driving us both nuts.  After taking a mess of wiring apart and putting it back together, he realized the problem was the kitchen phone jack...there were 2 phones plugged in to it- he unplugged one, and everything is fine!  It only took a couple of hours...
 
 Tacos for dinner.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Nov 14 07 05:23
nice to have the phone fixed i bet.
my cell always sounds like someone is driving on the other end for some reason. The new phone is like that the old one while it had been dropped a few times is perfectly fine.

pasta for dinner with mushrooms and maybe meat don't know yet.

hey purelife.....the hail came down really hard for only about 5 minutes, then stopped.  Only to start again harder 10 minutes later.

  You know Russ.....I used to be like that with wood.  I couldn't fathom why anyone would paint beautiful wood.  But after biting the bullet a couple times and doing it.....it occurred to me, it really is just a mind set.  The fact of the matter is.....it can always be undone.  The oak chest of drawers is really nice.....but is stained in a way that looks like maple......and was not going to go with what I have planned.  So it was either sell it.....and take a loss.....and buy what I want for twice as much as I would get for it. (I'm not sure that made sense.....but I know what I mean....LOL)

  Even Sawdust was impressed with the end result.  It looks smashing !

 Ok.. Im not going to agree here, cause you said it can be done again... Im a firm believer in do once and never do it again until the next generation does it.

  Can you tell Ive been coerced in redoing stuff cause the better half didnt like how it came out? lol.

    Well, we are going somewhere else next week for wings. Hudson's Landing (marpole area beside White Spot) was ok, wings were good. But at 45 cents each I dont think they are anything to shout out about.. the chick at the front, Maitre De &lt;I think&gt; was a twat, but the bartender was accomodating and the saving grace.

  Im currently trying to top off with a few J&amp;B's and coke... night ended too early for a sailor.

Talking about cellphones... I really need to get that stupid jacket. Fracken dropped the phone like five times since I bought it a month ago. Stupid fiddly thingee. Almost makes me wish I had one of those mega chunk cellphones way back when it first came out. At least when someone annoys me, I can chuck the phone at them and do some serious damage.

  Oh er.... overheard on the bus... beware of wearing your iPod when travelling. This woman's son was actually attacked by a group of teens (two boys and a girl) who wanted his cellphone. They followed him from the bus and then demanded he handed them the iPod. The girl had a mace. The guy say he wasn't gonna fight over the iPod so he just gave them. They then took off and a man ran up to the son and told them he just saw everything. Called up the cops and they arrested the teens within an hour.

  Scary, eh?

Heya Lise.  Nice to see you around. :))

  Oh, I'm a clutz too when it comes to dropping cell.  I use my cell as my morning alarm and when I try to reach for it, it often drops along with my glasses and everything else on the table.  :P   I brought my jacket protector from Future Shop and it's awesome.

  That's pretty scary about the ipods.  I heard that it's not a good idea to be listening to anything when you're walking home...better to have your ears wide.  

  Morning everyone.

I know just the solution for you LM.  I brought a mp3 cover that had a hook on the back from Superstore (in the Photo dept) for 10 bucks.  Hmmm, stuffing in bra... that's interesting.  I stuffed my card pass (for entering into buildings at my work) in my bra once because I was wearing a dress that I couldn't hook my card to.

  Just got back from a quick zip to Jysk in Nanaimo to pick up some nice storage baskets to fit into the end bits of the built-in.  I like that place.  Plus I always load up on tea-lights when I'm there.  Cheapest place in town for the 100 pack.  ( If you read the fine print, the last years ones are 6 hour burn time.....and the new ones are a 4 hour burn time.....of course the price remains the same)  I guess they figure people don't notice these things.....lol

Chicken wings.....(thawed accidently) spring rolls and coleslaw.

  OK....my brilliant design and construction of one of the components for the bed, didn't fit in the door.  So we took the door off.....no luck.  A lousy inch of space shy.  So I had to decontruct it (demolish it) to get it into the room, and put it back together again. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]  I come by this honestly, as I remember my dad building a boat in our basement that wouldn't make the turn at the top of the stairs.  I can still see it all clearly as he smashed the walls to smithereens.  (Apparently they were easier to rebuild than the boat.)

  Poor Sawdust....he's so patient watching me do these things in my scatterbrain way.  Well he's not really....but he does a darn fine impersonation of a really patient person.  And that's good enough for me.  He will be working out the precise measurements for the second component tomorrow and constructing it IN the room. (he's 'precise measurment guy'....while I fly by the seat of my pants.)

Evening everyone, if anyone is around besides Miss PC. :))

We had chicken with caesar salad.  

Tomorrow, we're going to make chocolate peanut butter snowballs that tastes like truffles.  Thanks to Lise who introduced me to such a WONDERFUL recipe.  

Here it is for anyone who is interested.  I followed it to the tee, use the no name brand chocolate, 100% smooth peanut butter and the low fat whipped cream from SuperStore.  End result is DELICIOUS.  It's really fun to make with kiddies because they love getting their hands dirty and licking it off too. :))

  Yea.....dad used to make beautiful boats.  All beautiful wood decking......gorgeous boats.  He'd work on them for months......carefully measuring to know at what stage to move it out of the basement.  I remember pieces of wood trim standing in the bathtub, while he'd flood the bathroom with steam to curve them......for DAYS.  He thought he had this one sussed I guess.....but apparently not.  rofl     He really was an incredible carpenter.

I routered the clock a bit differently on mistake, but I made it really unique looking. Teacher loved it, we had an option of either keeping it or selling it. He said it was worth $75 dollars (everyone elses was like $45). I was like no way this baby's mine.

It's funny how the thieves would break into the dental building, grab a trolley and wrapped the handles with clothes. Funny considering there are like a billion and one gloves lying around and you wouldn't take a few but you would take the time to wrap your trolley with clothes. Sheesh.

Morning LM!

Have fun at the gym.. whatever that thing is. :)

  Ive redone the exhaust on it, and am just finishing up my new front driveshaft. Next is to get the onboard air compressor installed, wired and plumbed up with the differential air lockers I have now in the axles.

  The exhaust actually had me steaming mad. I had used the truck 1000km's after installing a new exhaust last time it was on the road.. and the exhaust got twice as load, like a ricer car. I looked for leaks, tried another muffler on it even. Then as I prepared to give up I happened to look in my exhaust where you can see into the Catalytic converter is, there was nothing left in there.. I managed to blast it out in under 1000 kms?!?

Hey!  What a RAINY day.
 
 Safeway chicken for dinner.  I swear we live off that stuff.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 19 07 05:03
Rain is juuuust starting here....although it has been dark and drab most of the day.

  There's a whole lot worse things to eat than Safeway chicken.  We've had it a couple times too.  Sometimes after a full day....and nobody feels like cooking....it's a great thing.  It wasn't bad at all.

  Everybody must be busy busy busy.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a010.gif" border=0]

Hi P.C.
 
 I saw something today that was both brave and funny.
 Guy standing at the drugstore line buying a pregnancy test kit with NO "decoy items" (gum, shower gel, lighter, etc.).  Just a single pregnancy test.  Granted, he was holding it under his arm...

  lol.....hmmmm.   Mr Sawdust would do that in a heartbeat.  He was never shy about getting 'woman stuff' for me if he was out.  The only time he ever had a problem was when I asked him to get some Stiffy from the craft store.  He said he couldn't find it, and there was no way he was going to ask (in him booming voice) in a store full of women......"Where can I find the Stiffy"?

Continue on the truck.. Im putting in the controls for my air lockers in my differentials. Ran into a snag yesterday, one of the solenoids doesnt work! Its brand new but I had it for six months now = no warranty.. so I have to buy a new one for like 50 bucks &lt;mad&gt;.

  Other than that start getting the stuff together for camping.. Starfish and I started a list last night while sitting having a few drinks. We leave on thursday.. lots to find in the 'safe' places around the house. Cant find the tent poles either! Thats a frustrating happening.. we used it twice now and its an expensive tent.

  Hope your day is eventful!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Nov 20 07 08:57
Morning P.C. and Russ.
 
 Russ-if you can't find the poles, ask Sawdust for some Stiffy.  lol
 
 Gotta run.
 
 See y'all at Lunch time.

[FONT face=Arial]OK.....I thought this might help with your decision, but actually.....you don't need a blender for this.  See how much money I saved you ???? [/FONT]  [H1]Cuban Mojito recipe[/H1]

 [P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align=left][FONT face=Arial size=2]the original authentic recipe from Havana Cuba[/FONT]

 [P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align=left][FONT face=Arial size=2]
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
Juice from 1 lime (2 ounces)
4 mint leaves[/FONT]

 [P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align=left][FONT face=Arial size=2]1 sprig of mint
Havana Club white Rum (2 ounces)
2 ounces club soda[/FONT]

 [P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align=left]

 [P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align=left][FONT face=Arial size=2](If you repost this recipe or my comments, I'd love a link back to this web page as your source, thanks!)  There are countless recipes for the Mojito (pronounced moh-HEE-toh), but this version is for the one Hemingway himself enjoyed at the Mojito's place of birth: La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, Cuba.  If you are throwing a Cuban theme party (Havana night themed party), definitely plan on serving mojitos.  [/FONT]

 [P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align=left]

 [P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align=left][FONT face=Arial size=2]Place the mint leaves into a long mojito glass (often called a "collins" glass) and squeeze the juice from a cut lime over it.  You'll want about two ounces of lime juice, so it may not require all of the juice from a single lime.  Add the powdered sugar, then gently smash the mint into the lime juice and sugar with a muddler (a long wooden device pictured below, though you can also use the back of a fork or spoon if one isn't available).  Add ice (preferably crushed) then add the rum and stir, and top off with the club soda (you can also stir the club soda in as per your taste).  Garnish with a mint sprig.[/FONT]

What's for lunch? Pizzalasagna (unsurprisingly, pizza with a lasagna topping).
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 20 07 11:56
Mmmm....sounds delish Gophie.  I wonder if you can make a lasagne with pizza stuff.

  I had a sardine sammich.  Yum

  Awful quiet in here these days.  Just wait till I make my big announcement on Friday.  Yup, that's right....Friday.  Don't say anything, but we will be serving free coffee and doughnuts in here.

[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a143.gif" border=0]

  Oh sure.....watch what happens when the free stuff comes out.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Gopher on Nov 20 07 11:59
Free stuff? I'll be there with open hands.

  Pizzalasagne was my own invention, I had some lasagne left over, but not enough for a full meal, and so I bought a pizza base, slapped some sardines and tomato onto it, added some cheese, stuck the lasagne on the top of everything and then cooked it.  It really was delicious - I must be more experimental in future because it usually works.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 20 07 12:03
OMG....that DOES sound delish.  I think I might sub out the sardines for some smoked oysters and capers.

  Some of our favourite meals are inventions discovered from trying to come up with something creative to do with leftovers.

Hey!  'sup peeps?
 
 Coffee tastes good this morning.  Currently 2degreesC outside.
 
 Gotta run some errands before work.
 
 I'm starting to freak because tonight I have to attend a taekwondo seminar with a visiting Grandmaster from Korea.  He was one of the inventors of the patterns we do.  Ulp.  I've heard that he will come by and slap your arm if it's in the wrong position.
 
 Well, lots to do between now and then...
 
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Nov 21 07 09:06
Morning Lil Me! Hope you have a good day...

You will do great tonight.. dont worry, if he comes by and looks like he's going to hit you, hit him first! :)

  I agree its cold out.. Today is changing a waterpump on the truck and to get some new tent poles.

We ended up going to WallyWorld last night with only a list of five items to buy, Starfish was supposed to keep My Brother and Myself in line... didnt work, she joined in. We walked away with a bill that blew us away. But we got lots of goodies for camping! But no Jiffy Pop :(

  So whats everyones plans?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Nov 21 07 09:11
Hey Russ!  Damn, you couldn't find the tent poles?  Sucks.
 
 I'm glad I'm not the only person who buys too many extra items!  I usually go into the little grocery store in my neighbourhood to buy 1 thing (ie milk) and end up with both arms full.  And then I inevitably drop something on the ground (ie yoghurt that splats on the floor).  The store manager hands me a basket whenever he sees me coming now.  lol.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Good morning folks!

  How is everyone this beautiful day? I'm so happy to have a flex day off so I can at least enjoy being away from the craziness of the workplace. Three more weeks till the students leave and we can let our hair down. OMG. Can't wait.

  Bloody break-in again. This time the thieves were brazen enough to break into my co-worker's locker (she had a flimsy lock to begin with) but all they took was a stale donut. They even managed to break into the 3rd year dental student lockers and steal two pairs of shoes.

  Makes me wonder about the security of this place.... now each time I go to work, I have to keep my eyes and ears peel out and my wallet with me all the time.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Morning Lise!  Great that you have a day off.  Enjoy!
 
 Looks like another c-c-cold one today.
 
 Meeting with my lawyer.  Trying to incorporate a business and I have no bloody idea what I'm doing.
 
 In other news, I survived the taekwondo seminar last night.  I was terrified and my legs were shaking the entire time. But it was a kewl expereince.  I learned a lot.

Way to go Lil Me!  The stronger, better, faster, Lil Me.  I knew you could do it girl! *high five*

  Wow, Lise.  It sounds like that establishment has no security whatsoever.  I agree, do keep a watchful eye on your belongings.  One time, during a public place in broad daylight, this guy climb through a ground level window, got in the room and took my friend's wallet at the building she worked out of.  She just stepped out for a second to another room and the guy got away.  I would watch your belongings like a hawk there.

  Incorporating a business?  I'm sure your lawyer will explain or help you.

Chicken was cold, the rest I boiled. Yep, I know I should have steamed.

Oh, you don't have to steam, I was just wondering.  

  Someone told me to steam potatoes and I tried that and OMG, a HUGE difference in taste....tastes better!

Hiya everyone.

  We have my company 'xmas party this weekend and then we're heading to the States for some 'xmas shopping.  Monday is my day off so I'm going to enjoy doing absolutely nothing at home.  I so need to get away from work.... :-Þ

  PC, if your donuts are low in fat, made from whole grain wheat flour with some flax and poppy seeds, I'll eat them.  I know, I know...I'm picky... LOL  ;)

  What are your plans, LM?

Hey! Not a lot going on this w/e.  Trying to stay home a bit and organize my junk into boxes.  I finally bought real couches yesterday at Ikea (buy one, get one 50% off).  After 15yrs of living with the same student furniture, it was past time for an upgrade.  Maybe this means I'm finally an adult?  Ulp.
 
 Also got my grandmother's 90-something bday dinner with extended family this w/e.
 
 Gonna get some pizza later.

  I'm picky too.  I don't eat donuts because they are white flour, white sugar that have been deep fried.  But one day a co-worker brought me a donut for Tim Hortons it was whole wheat, so I thought what the heck I'll try it.  It was the worthest tasting thing I've ever ate.  There are somethings that can't be made healthy and donuts is one of them.  By the way they don't make whole-wheat donuts at Tim Hortons anymore! LOL

JJ...purelife......being selective about what you eat isn't being picky.  The good news is, that one can afford to stuff themselves silly on cyber doughnuts and lattes without the risk of endangering their health.  (I have never actually had a latte.....but it seemed like a luxurious thing.....lol)

Ja, SD.... that sounds mighty interesting. I grew up in Ozland and don't even vote. All I can say is.... LONG LIVE THE MONARCHY!!!

  We went to Kash Cool yesterday at North Vancouver. Ever tried Persian food? It's a great restaurant with excellent food. They've got these things called hookah or water pipes but they're not filled with those nicotine or tar substance. They subsitute them with flavored stuff. Don't ask me what they are but they were mighty interesting to see in action. I daren't tried the stuff because I had kids with me but if you're ever in the mood to try something different, Kash Cool is the place for you.

  Having said that, the service sucked. What was one food review? Ah yes, quote: "Food is consistently good, service is consistently bad." Guess that sums up the restaurant.

  Gonna go out again today with my co-workers. It'd be nice to see them outside the workplace. I think I'm going to have to kiss more asses at work if I want to pass my probation period. I can't wait though!!! Pray that I'll pass it!!!!!

  Meantime it's more chocolates to be handed around.....

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Snow already? Say it isn't so, PC!!! I don't mind snow so long as I don't have to commute anywhere but given I'm on probation, I can't afford to take a day off.

  My girls are looking forward to snow though.

  We just bought a set of winter tires, had them installed. Service took 2 and 1/2 hours! The guy at the place say it's nothing... during the month of December, you're lucky if you even get a an appointment because they're so busy. Damn tires are expensive - we have been putting them off for ages but we can't avoid not having them now because it snows quite a fair bit where we are.

  Do you guys have winter tires?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 25 07 04:01
My guess is they mean northern BC.  When they are referring to here.....but here on the mountains, they usually say, snow in the higher elevations.

  It doesn't feel right for snow.

  SD....you'll find the Islands weather is more similar to Seattle than it is to Vancouver.  A Seattle forecast is more accurate for here than most others area forecasts.

  Anyways.....no snow yet.

Evening!
 
 Dinner was BBQ pork and sausage fried rice (made with HAPPY RICE- a mixture of brown rice and dried beans) and steamed kale.
 
 [span style="text-decoration: underline;"]Ok, I officially dislike old people.[/span]  My Beaver kids had an Xmas party at a nursing home tonight.  Too much incontience, funny smells and dementia.
 
 Finally home and unwinding with a glass of homemade wine.

Morning  PC and PL,

No more snow here.. buts its freaking cold and wet.

Was out in the garage tinkering last night till 8 tearing apart parts of an engine, getting it ready to put in the truck. Then my dad decided to show up, hit the beer in my keg fridge, and managed to strip a number of bolts on the engine.. grrrr.

  Im trying to get the motivation to go get some stuff from the parts store.

No, it was regular red wine (from the store- not homemade!).  Too much too late at night.  I need a constant reminder that I cannot drink at the same pace as my neighbours (large guys who outweigh me by 100lbs).
 
 But I'm finally back to normal, thanks to orange juice, strawberries, soup, and a piece of leftover pizza.

Cool purelife.  It's a good CD.  I didn't love all the songs.....but I didn't dislike any either.

  So did you come across some good places to shop down there purelife?  Any good deals....places that one MUST go, anywhere you would recommend ?  I somehow doubt that I'll get over there before Christmas, but you never know.  And if I do.....I'd go shopping there too.

  I think the snow gets worse as you go up Island SD.  Bear Creek is like a white-out blizzard. (a little north of Courtenay.)  It's snowing good here too....but teeny icy little flakes....not the big fluffy ones.  It'll have to warm up a bit for those.

  I was going to head out to this place that has a sale, open to the public, only twice a year.  They have the most awesome stuff at incredibly cheap prices.  It's a wholesale place for designers....so there is some funky stuff that you won't see everywhere.  But unfortunately, I think I'm staying put.

where's the wine? ;)

do you usually have a theme when decorating your tree?  ie, some sort of color preference?

i wish that we had a larger place because i would so LOVE a tree, even if it had to be a mini one.

i've been working on my resume...really want to get into the place where i really want to work...at the hospital. :)
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Dec 01 07 08:51
Really- you want to work at the hospital?  because of the hospital union, or because you want to work in the health care sector?
 
 My xmas tree is still packed up in a box.  It's widdle.  Weally widdle.  It's the cheapie Walmart special mini tree that we've had for years. We've also had a live mini tree in a pot in past years.  But I always kill it early on in the New Year (lack of water), so no more of those...

Heya purelife, I hope you get to work in your chosen environment one of these days. Sometimes change can be good. A friend of mine works in the hospital and loves it. She has long hours but doesn't care, the pay is good and the union is strong. She works independently most of the time.

  Have you guys heard about this Costco Christmas tree? Apparently it's a mini tree that comes in a pot and cost like $12. I want one!!! Anyone gonna go to Costco soon?

  Blast it all. I have a CPR training course in two weeks time that I have to do with my co-workers. It's compulsory. What the hell do I need it for seeing as there are tons of dentists around???? Stupid stupid rule. As if the head of the department do it as well.

 Hey Lise!  Good to hear from you.  Yes, you should know CPR. Everyone should know CPR.  If work will pay for the course, and pay you to take it, so much the better!  (Normal people pay a couple hundred bucks for it, and take the course on their own time!)  Scouts paid for my CPR course.  Unfortunately they didn't pay me to take it.
 
 My Sunday schedule has been wiped clear due to snow.  YAY!  SNOW DAY!  Half a foot out here and no signs of letting up.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

CPR is a very important course along with First Aid.  I would totally take advantage of the CPR course since your company is paying for you to take it and paying your wage while you're taking it?  I hope they're paying your wage.  It's better for the company to be on the safe side so that they're not liable for anything, ie lawsuits.

Well, you haven't heard the horror stories about the CPR training at work. Apparently one of the co-workers actually got cold sore from kissing the dummy. How scary is that???? True story! Alcohol just doesn't cut it... I'm gonna nick some heavy duty anti-bacterial cloth from the cupboard and use that. Ugh...

  I guess CPR is good but I haven't done the thing since graduating. It's a real pain in the butt... however, Lil Me is right. The university is paying for it so why not?

Turns out SOMEONE left their seatheater on overnight and drained the battery completely.

Hm.... I gotta get some bottled water pretty soon. What a nightmare we had with the water shortage last year. Ppl panicking for no real reason.

  Next week will be quiet for us. The students are preparing for exams and clinic will actually shut down. Time to get creative and stock up on supplies. We also have that stupid CPR thing going... on the flip side, we get the Dean's Lucheon and Potluck Tuesday. We also have this staff Xmas party going on after work hours but I'm not sure I wanna hang around those particular co-workers. We'll see.

  We brought in two new ppl. One's of them is a guy... kinda funny that he's the only dude working in an exclusively all-female workforce. I don't think he's going to last. He's already giving us some atitude problem (I think he's gay.....) but the co-worker he's working with is a real pain in the ass so we'll see how they fare together down the road. What's funny is he skipped work the third day because of he had a headache. We think it's due to that co-worker bitching him to death. Ah well.

  Anyways, tired now so I better head off to snooze-land. Catch you lot later.

Tonight is beef stew.  Using chef Anthony Bourdain's recipe for Boeuf Bourgignon
 
 [table cellspacing="6" width="425"] [tbody][tr][td colspan="2"][img]http://www.anthonybourdain.com/images/heads/boeuf_head.gif" vspace="4"][/td][/tr] [tr] [td colspan="2"] [div style="font-size: 8pt;"]Traditionally, this dish is cooked entirely with red wine. And that's fine, just fine. But if you listened to me earlier, and keep a stash of good, strong, demi-glace kicking around in your freezer, a couple of spoons give the sauce a nice flavor boost. This is one of the easiest dishes in this book — and also one of the best.[/div][/td][/tr] [tr] [td valign="top" width="265"] [div style="font-size: 8pt;"]INGREDIENTS
2 lbs/900 g "paleron" of beef or "chicken steak" (or same amount of shoulder or neck)
cut into 1½ inch pieces
salt and pepper
¼ cup/56 ml olive oil
4 onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp/28 g all-purpose flour
1 cup /225 ml red Burgundy
6 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 bouquet garni
1 clove garlic
a little chopped parsley[/div][/td] [td valign="top" width="160"] [div style="font-size: 8pt;"]EQUIPMENT
Dutch oven (or large, heavy-bottomed pot)
wooden spoon
large spoon or ladle[/div][/td][/tr][/tbody] [/table]
 [table cellspacing="4" width="425"] [tbody][tr][td valign="top" width="105"][div style="font-size: 8pt;"]SERVES 6[/div][/td] [td valign="top" width="320"] [div style="font-size: 8pt;"]STAGE ONE[/div]Season the meat with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over high heat until it is almost smoking. Add the meat, in batches—not all at once!—and sear on all sides until it is well-browned. You dump too much meat in the pot at the same time and you'll overcrowd it; cool the thing down and you won't get good color. Sear the meat a little at a time, removing it and setting it aside as it finishes. When all the meat is a nice, dark brown color and has been set aside, add the onions to the pot. Lower the heat to medium-high until the onions are soft and gold-en brown—about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over them. Continue to cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add the red wine. Naturally, you want to scrape up all that really good fond from the bot-tom of the pot with your spoon. Bring the wine to a boil.
[/td][/tr] [tr] [td valign="bottom" width="105"] [div style="font-size: 8pt;"]Personally, I think this dish is much better the second day. Just cool the stew down in an ice bath, or on your counter top (the Health Dept is unlikely to raid your kitchen). Refrigerate overnight. When time, just bring it back up to heat and serve. Goes well with a few boiled potatoes. But goes really well with a bottle of Cote de Nuit Village Pommard.[/div][/td] [td valign="top" width="320"]
 [div style="font-size: 8pt;"]STAGE TWO[/div]Return the meat to the pot and add the carrots, the garlic and the bouquet garni. Add just enough water (and two big spoons of demi-glace, if you have it) so that the liquid covers the meat by 1/3 — meaning you want a ratio of 3 parts liquid to 2 parts meat. This is a stew, so you want plenty of liquid, even after it cooks down and reduces. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer and let cook for about two hours, or until the meat is tender (break-apart with a fork-tender).

You should pay attention to the dish, meaning check it every 15-20 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure the meat is not sticking or, God forbid, scorching. You should also skim off any foam or scum or oil collecting on the surface, using a large spoon or ladle. When done, remove and discard the bouquet garni, add the chopped parsley to the pot and serve.[/td][/tr][/tbody] [/table]

okay funny moment of the day:

Roommate and I along with another russian who can drive but can't speak english. (therefore I don't want him driving in the states, lol that would be funny if he got pulled over. Cops would be like hello illegal (russian-asian). rotfl.

Anyway my roommate was like well if we run into a blizzard, we can just continue driving south. SOUTH!! I'm like "do you understand the Interstate highway system out west? There are two routes when we get to denver lol." If we can't go north of denver and only south it will take an extra week to get back to Vancouver Island."

  ROTFLMAO. south, please, if there's a blizzard in wyoming, utah, idaho or oregon, I'm driving through it. No way am i going to drive down to new mexico, across Arizona to southern california then up the coast.

there's a reason why they created chains to put on tires.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 06 07 03:21
True SD.. my brother and I made the others in our group absolute believers in Chains on tires.. they make a night and day difference. Winter driving is fine if the snow is deep enough on the highways, you drive slow enough, and you use chains. If you are going too fast and see sparks.. thens the time to take the chains off, lol.

  Well, today we had to change the starter on the GMC and adjust the timing.. but the new engine I rebuilt and dropped in runs great! Alot better than the last one I had in.. what a lemon that last engine was, I dropped about 7k into it with all the best and most expensive performance parts in it. And it didnt go worth a shit... this one I did was a plain jane basic engine, and it does better than the other one.. Im gonna take the other one and make it into a 7k boat anchor I think.

Started last year, but not finished till this year. I say you take em all, throw them into a big pile, toss gasoline liberally and light em up! Show em who's boss! &lt;I did that to my old ones.. half the blasted glass bulbs were broken, and a pain in the butt to remove and replace once broken&gt;

 

 Well, gotta go here.. things to do, things to buy! Im looking forward to a laugh there.

  I hear ya purelife.  Sounds like a blissful evening.  Good for you !!!!

  Russ....before you light the gasoline pile, some stores offer 3 to 5 dollars off of each set you bring in to replace with LED's. (They ARE expensive)

  Have fun hot pot shopping Goat and Starfishie !!!!    [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/xmas/f034.gif" border=0]

 purelife- want to know what you at the Boathouse.
 
 Russmeister- All India Sweets is the one at the corner of 49th and Main.  (under new management since their infamous health inspection woes 10ys ago).   I was in between picking up a repaired sleeping bag at Outdoor Innovations and picking up Mr LM at the airport.

Thats HILARIOUS LM... Thats the very place I go to. I live about five - ten minutes from there. Its used to be 4.99 all you can eat though..

 PC... I was serious. I burnt them while camping a few weeks ago. Never seen anyplace around here that would take em in for a few bucks to the new LED ones. I think we have 8 stings of the LED ones now.

 Hot Pot shopping was long.. we went to like three different places. But ended up getting another hotpot setup as well cause of all the people coming. Hopefully its good.. we used the meat slicer as well to get the meats prepared, didnt do the 49er trick of rolling them tho before freezing them to make us look professional, lol.

  Back to decking the halls. I am putting 'snow' on my windows.  I love it.....until it's time to take it off.  I use tacks to put the garlands on the window sills, so I'm forced to repaint the window trim once a year.  I'd be an excellent candidate to head a 'make work' program.

Morning all. Brrrr.... .isn't it chilly today. It might snow the next day so get your snow shovel out. I'm salting the pavement and praying that the snow won't be as much as last time.

  This week will be a relaxed week for all of us at work. No more clinics but we will have to tidy up a couple of things and stock up for the next year. Poor students.... exams and clinical evaluations this month... some of them look like they haven't been sleeping for more than 2 hours. I kinda feel sorry for them cause they come up to us looking like wee stressed out babies. You just wanna hug them - well, at least the good looking ones. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Have a dinner party to plan tonight, gotta run out and get some last minute supply. Thank goodness it's only a couple of people so it'll be tight and cosy, just the way we like it.

 Well, I've started by WEEKEND ALONE.  It's so nice.  Tried to get take-out Indian last night, but by the time I got back to the 'hood after dropping off Heckyl and Jeckyl at their weekend camp, the take-out was closed.  Instead, I ate saag panner in the microwavable pouch from Safeway.  It was ok.
 
 Bulgogi beef, rice, kimchi and pickles for lunch.
 Took the morning off and went to the Korean bath house.

We got a light dusting of snow. Nothing much but looking ahead (from the weather channel) it looks like snow and rain for the next few days. Brilliant.

  Flex day off tomorrow because we have the dean's luncheon to go to. Not many ppl are happy with the dean luncheon as some are forced to stay back and work. Not very fair. I thought I would have been one of those ppl forced to work since I'm new but they say I haven't been given that specific training so I can't do it. I feel bad for those who have to 'volunteer' to stay behind. Unfair.

  I figured if anyone should stay behind, it should have been the supervisors. HA! Like that's gonna happen.

  Wonderful party yesterday spoilt by those damn guys wanting to watch the damn hockey. I mean, c'mon!! It's my house, my party, turn the damn hockey game off so we can sit around and talk. Sheesh. MEN. Other than that, good food. Hmmm... a friend brought a platter of cheese to share. I'm not cheese person but it was yummy. Good eats.

Evening.

At least you had hockey on lise... the people that were inside at my place put the fight on. I then discovered that three of the guys came over with their girlfriends only cause I had a bigger screen than the three of them so they came specifically to watch the fight. All in all the bbq/russ xmas was pretty good. Saw alot of people I havent seen in a while, got drunk with them, and dazzled them with the bbq. I have pics of a few of the guys sticking their heads underneath the keg tap and dumping beer down their throats.

The only thing I was upset at was a few of my friends took it upon themselves to invite other people to come that I specifically had NOT invited, because I have a dislike of their moochiness. They come over, complain about the food and everything else, but dont bring anything or money to throw in like everyone else.

  The night before I had the hot pot goodness with Starfishies family and my own. We ended up overbuying food by alot... like double the amount we needed, we had SO much food it was crazyness. But at least like I said to starfishy we didnt run out. I froze the uncooked food, and the food that was cooked, we put into a jar and I put all that into a stagg chili... went along great.

We really didnt do anything else really different PC.. we did however buy a second hot pot setup from that store, so now we have two hotpots ready and willing to go do delish meals on demand.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Dec 09 07 06:17
Good call on the second pot Russ.  I think it would be difficult with one, for any more than 6 people.  Putting the leftovers in a chili sounds interesting.  Now that's one of those dishes that I call Slumgulleum....lol.  You can discover some pretty interesting combinations doing that.

  Too bad about the crashers at your party.  That just ain't right.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/1.gif)

Hullo DS!

Just dropping in to say hi from lovely Malabo in Equatorial Guinee prior to running to Luba.

What a clusterfawk in flights. I was delayed in Paris because my flight out of Montreal was delayed 3 hours due to snow.. so i missed my connecting flight. Scare Canada did squat cause their flight screwed up. I had a night in paris but missed the tours to the Eiffel Tower and other such tours by half an hour from the hotel. Waah! the last time that happened i did the tour with a disposable camera, but i left the camera at the last stop by mistake so i had no photographic proof I was there and all my friends told me I was lying :(.

So I hit the hotel pool and got drunk instead on drinks with umbrellas instead covered by the company cause they cant read french receipts, lol.

Made it here in one piece but my so called unlocked phone doesnt work here.. so another 200 on another phone :( I have to get that bill by the Starfishie. 'But honey.. its a REQUIREMENT'.. lets see if it works. :)

  Hope everyones doing well! I should have net connection onboard Im told.

  PS the burgers in the airports in Montreal and Paris SUCK! Dont get ones there. Good Advice!

  So did you get ANY pictures in Paris?  How about one of your feefee drink ?  HAHAHAAAA....I can't picture Rugged Russ drinking  a cocktail with a tissue umbrella in it.

  (I'll have to carry that image with me for the day....it'll keep me in a good mood. (I'm going shoppin....this will NOT be fun)

Hey everyone!
 
 Glad to hear from Russ!
 
 Gophie- so everyone brought too much food?  Or not enough?
 
 My lunch was a blueberry scone with brie and fruit salad chez mom.
 
 Waiting for the appliance repair guy to come fix my washing machine.  Caved in and called when I realized that most parts are under warranty. To add to the wonky agitator, there is now a horrible grinding noise during the drain cycle.

Oh !  I almost forgot.  Friday Freebees.  (I know Gophie missed them)

  Today's treat is Sopapillas.  These are too yummy, but won't make the top 10 on your healthy breakfast list.  I made some dusted with sugar and cinnamon, and some stuffed with spinach and feta.

  (http://images.allrecipes.com/site/allrecipes/area/community/userphoto/small/35398.jpg)

  There is also some chai Latte tea to go with the sweet sopapillas and gin and tonic for the savoury treats. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)

    Phewww!!!  I made it home finally.  I'll tell ya....shopping between 4:00 and 6:00 is a thing of beauty.  No crowd....no line up.  Perfect. (I guess only til the kids are out of school)  It was GREAT !

That's a good tip about shopping times, P.C.
 
 Well, I got some awesome stuff today from my dumpster-diving grandma.  She finds stuff and piles it up for me.  2 kids' bikes (gave them away) and a kids' set of golf clubs (kept it).
 
 Finally put up some Xmas decorations last night.
 
 Finally got some shopping done this week.
 
 Still have too much office work to finish before the end of the month.

  Right, so I did my CPR training and AED. I am now officially able to administer CPR and shock you. Any request?

  Dean's Lucheon at the UBC Golf Course last Thursday. WAS FANTASTIC. Food was incredible, I literally wiped up everything on my plate. Ye Gods, the dessert... OMG, chocolate bunt cake, coffee cake, black forest cake, fruit flam, cookies of all shapes and sizes. Man, they really went out this year.

  Oh, I tried the eggnog and rum combination... hmm... I must say, you definitely have to develop a taste for eggnog. Icky... but I did enjoy the warm cinnamon (???) apple juice. Never had that before.

Hi Lise!  Good to hear from you.
 
 Lucky you going to a nice Xmas party.  None of that in my office.  lol
 
 Some people don't like regular eggnog, but will pour it into coffee, use it in bread pudding, or drink the Starbugs eggnog latte.   In our house, we have the soynog.

Morning everyone!  Hope it was a good weekend for all.
 
 Had the best time at Bon Jovi last night.  Jon Bon is still HAWT.  They played the entire new album Lost Highway (bit of a different sound, but all good) and then all the old hits.  They had fun with a medley of Bad Medicine and Shout (put your hands up and SHOUT!).  I ran for the skytrain at the start of the 2nd encore, so I'm wondering if they played Always or I'll be there for you.
 
 Opening act was Hedley.  They put on a good show, too.
 
 Slightly hungover but stoked about last night's show, so I think I'm running at about 85%.

  [SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"]&gt; From: Dr. Nahid Neman Who works in the breast cancer unit at [?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /][st1:place w:st="on"][st1:PlaceType w:st="on"]Mt.[/st1:PlaceType] [st1:PlaceName w:st="on"]Sinai[/st1:PlaceName][/st1:place]

&gt; If there is a female you care anything about, Share this with her. I
&gt; did!!!!!
&gt; I am also sharing this with the males on my e-mail list, Because they need
&gt; to tell the females
&gt;
&gt; THEY care about as well!
&gt; Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth'
&gt; Decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90.
&gt;
&gt; It contained lead.
&gt;
&gt; Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
&gt;
&gt; The lipstick brands that contain lead are:
&gt;
&gt; CHRISTIAN DIOR
&gt; LANCOME
&gt; CLINIQUE
&gt; Y.S.L
&gt; ESTEE LAUDER
&gt; SHISEIDO
&gt; RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
&gt; CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
&gt; MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.
&gt;
&gt; The higher the lead content,
&gt; The greater the chance of causing cancer.
&gt; After doing a test on lipsticks, It was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick
&gt; Contained the most amount of lead.
&gt;
&gt; Watch out for those lipsticks Which are supposed to stay longer.
&gt; If your lipstick stays longer, it is Because of the higher content of lead.
&gt; Here is the test you can do yourself:
&gt;
&gt; 1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
&gt; 2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
&gt; 3. If the lipstick color changes to black,
&gt;
&gt; Then you know the lipstick contains lead.

I don't wear pj's myself so I call them lounge wear too.  My guy's mom calls them "fat pants" meaning something comfy in cotton that you could just lounge in and not give a damn what others think.  I don't know how she came up with that name.  

  I've seen my bro wear comfy clothes at home and I hope that I have his correct size.  Thanks for checking, PC.  I almost always get him clothes and he always love em.  He says that I'm the one who buys the nice stuff for him. :)))

  I wish that I had purchased the toys that I saw at Costco back in Oct/Nov because now, almost everything has disappeared.  I won't be making this mistake next year.

Good afternoon everyone!!

  Just been back from the mall. Super crazy!! Unbelievable and it's only Thursday afternoon. Got some muchies to take to work to share with co-workers.

  Asked for my review. My newer co-worker thinks I'm crazy to ask for a work review. She said it was better to stay low-key and fly under your boss' radar. I don't think that's good because it shows that you're not interested in improving your self-worth. I was surprised to find that some co-workers have negative comments about me. I had assumed I was doing a good job but apparently I was not fast enough. I mean, can you really get super fast within a couple of weeks? Insanity. Overall, my work performance was good and I think I get to keep the job. We'll see after January.

  I've learnt a lot about human behavior. When at work, ppl are two faced. NEVER NEVER make friends with them. Even if you think they're friendly and awesome folks, the moment you turn your back, they back-stab you. I don't know why (I am unable to fathom why) but they're all like this. Worst is they want to make you part of their gang so you can back-stab the person they don't like.

  Supid highschool all over again.

Ja purelife. Working with women is a real pain in the ass. I prefer men, at least when they don't like something, they'll let you know instead of nursing it in their hearts and playing stupid games.

  Should send a  memo to the supervisor: NEED MORE MEN involve.

  Argh! Don't talk to me about chocolate. For the last two weeks, I probably had my fill for chocolate to last like the entire year. Everyone seems to bring chocolate to work, students and co-workers, dentists and whoever just brings us chocolate galore. I'm so sick of chocolate right now but I can't resist eating a piece whenever it's put in front of us.

  They're so evil at work...

Alright purelife....what else did you do ?  Hmmmmm?  Fess up !!!

  Hi JJ.  Nice to see you.  I think everyone is super busy these days.  

    Lise...I'm here to tell you, that it's no different with an office full of men.  I worked in a predominantly male atmosphere, and it was brutal.  So much so, that I actually had to quit my job.  I don't think it's about male or female.  I think it's about insecurity and immaturity and that has little to do with gender.  I think your staying away from it all, will pay off in the end.  Hang in there.

there's no more men Lise. I'm the only male in sociology class, 2 in anthro, 5 in geography.
apparently men don't go to school, so in the "professional" field (4 year degree plus etc) its all women. for example the guys at my school see 30 dollars an hour job putting up dry wall and they take that job. Girls see a future and not the present now, so on average they're more likely to get a degree and specialize in something.
women are smarter, men are short sided. nothing new.

Hummer is disturbing.
I keep seeing this "Hummer Helps" ads on tv here in Misery, which is a 30 second ad of hurricane katrina, blizzards, wild fires with a hummer driving in the background. Somehow they equate Hummers saving people.

I swear Hummer can't make ads. The last one I remember was a night time set ad with a Hummer driving by a subway car. lol

Hey good morning all!!!

  Woke up late on Friday morning. Bloody alarm clock didn't ring so I was 45 mins late for work. I'll have to go to work early next year to make it up. Stupid clock. Now I'm paranoid and have two alarm clocks for just in case.

  Working on Christmas eve. Meh. Perks of being the new guy. On the plus side, I actually got to work with the techs on the dental chair fiddling with knobs and what-not (space age chairs like you won't believe!). On the downside, I actually get to get down on my knees and hand, scubbing dirty corners.

  My co-worker was also late. She had a legit excuse. Her husband struck down a pedestrian while she was crossing the street. I'm not sure what happened but apparently the lights were green and this elderly lady appeared out of nowhere. Kinda scary. She was so shaken up that I don't think she could function the entire day. I don't know why she came to work. Anyways, the lady was taken to the hospital but I don't think there's any major injuries. Wow, eh? I wouldn't know what to do had I been in that situation.

  Do men behave the same at the workplace, PC? Funny, I always thought that men would behave differently. Then again... you could be right. One time we were down at the old clinic and something went wrong with the dental equipment. I had called our techs straight away but was told that this other guy was in charge and that I should have called him first. Weird. I thought we were all a team. Ah well. You learn more and more stuff everday.

Hi Gophie, Dude and Lise [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/xmas/a014.gif" border=0]

  This is funny. Sort of.  I call this the final slap.

  So last year, I won a TV at my staff party. ( the same place I left in the spring )  Well, we have never hooked it up, as it wasn't really needed.  Now that I have finished the guest room, I thought it would be nice to put it in there.  So wouldn't ya know it.  It doesn't work.   If I'd known a couple weeks ago, I would have dropped in to this years staff party, and asked if I could trade it in. HAHAHAAAAAHAAAA.

  Merry Christmas Ex Work Place. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/xmas/g065.gif" border=0]

  I really want to watch I am Legend... but I don't really care to get scared. I thought it looked like a fast action packed movie and now I'm having second thoughts about it. Hmmm. Dunno. I guess I'll have to see.

    OMG. Too cute!! Thank you!

  I'm jealous of ppl who can actually ski. Like there's no fear going downhill. I dunno... I kinda like to control the ground I walk on.

  Is it snowing where you guys are? It snowed all day yesterday but the rain's washed it away. Kinda hoping for a white Christmas this year.

  Went to Dollarama. Blasted crowds. Too many ppl. I have to get a few little gift bags to give to some co-workers who gave me something last week. Man, next year I'm putting a few gifts aside for emergencies. Too many ppl.

  Anyone making Christmas turkey? I'm doing chicken with stuffing, roast yams and sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce (tin - haha!) and baking a butter cake. Good eats!

Only 2 more days!
Hopefully one of these days the family can come up to Vancouver instead of me flying down to stl. Weather here sucks, it went from 14 to -7 in little over 2hrs yesterday. crazy.

Lise I am Legend is a post apopcalyptic movie of the 1954 science fiction book I am Legend. (although its not exactly like the book at all). If you liked The Children of Men, then you'd like I am Legend, except I wasn't freaked out by Children of Men, which is just depressing.
Blade Runner
Children of Men
I am Legend

same type of films.

 Hey everyone!  Microwaved pre-Christmas leftovers for dinner.
 
 Bloody hell.  Not ONE SINGLE grocery store open tonight.  *sigh*  Bought bread and milk at 7-11.  Skiied today, then took it for granted that I could buy food later.  Apparently, I was wrong.
 
 ADD: Damn.  Just found out I could have gone to WalMart at Lougheed Mall, which is still open 24/7 until Dec 31.  Now that I've gone home and started a beverage, I have no desire to venture out for meat and cheese!

Hey Lil Me, you sure do ski a lot! I'm sure the rest of us are teh jealous.

  Snow. Snow. Snow. More snow. At least it snowed on Christmas Day which is wonderful. I don't remember having a white Christmas in a long time. Made tons of food that day, roast chicken with TWO package of stuffing because everyone wants stuffing, roast yams and sweet potatoes, stir-fry sugar peas with mushrooms, samosas, rice with chicken, my own homemade baked cake and yes... newest addition this year was cranberry sauce. Funny enough, NOBODY but yours truly ate the cranberry sauce with chicken. They all thought I was weird spreading jam on meat. Go figure.

  Didn't do much boxing day shopping. Can't understand why ppl are lining up for hours just to get some clothes... like the Lulemon Athetics (spelling?). The lineup to get in was hideous and ridiculous. Me? I just got some cards at 50% off and a sweater for my little one. That's about it.

Hey!  Chicken for dinner (red pepper garlic chix from Costco), potatoes, veg.
 
 Finally went out to the mall.  5:00-6:00 was good.  Most people were leaving around then.  New snowboard pants, goggles, t-shirt, hoodie.
 
 Any New Year's plans, anyone?  Being old and boring, we're just gonna chill.
 Most years, I'm coming out of the shower at 12:01 and hearing the fireworks outside.  I start kicking Mr LM awake as I remind him there's a bottle of champagne in the fridge that I'm gonna drink by myself unless he gets off the couch...

Got back from mom-in-law's where we had our belated 'xmas with turkey dinner.  Yummy.  We got soooooo spoiled with gifts this year.....  

I hear ya about trying to wake up the mister in the house, Lil Me.  Every year, my guy has always slept and I was the one awake.  I think this year, I'll be asleep.  We don't usually do anything, just listen to the fireworks and have the fireplace on (the fireplace that's on tv).

Good evening DS gang!  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/2.gif)

We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Montana's (my first time dining there).

Hey Lise - Sears Outlet store by Lougheed Mall sells scrubs.  I don't know if they have your XS size though, but worth a check if you're hunting for 'em.

Tomorrow, depending on the weather, we might head down to either Granville Island or Stanley Park...haven't been there for awhile, but where we'd really love to go is Van Dusen gardens to see their lights display before they close down.

 Hi guys!

  Lil Me - nope... not looking for those horrid pattern ones. Though they look cute (on some ppl), I just feel like I'm a walking wallpaper.

  purelife - really? At a Sears outlet, eh? OK, I'll keep that in mind next time I'm hunting. Thanks for the heads up. Some really cheap ones online but I'm afraid of getting them because I'm not sure about the sizes.

  I've heard the Van Dusen lights are really, really pretty. Monday's the only time where you won't get soggy watching the lights. It's been a sucky wet winter lately. *sigh*

  It is awfully quiet in here these days. : (

  Don't forget to try the NinJiom.  Da best.

Yep, I've got that too, PC.  Afternoon. :)

  Lunch for me was lentil vegetable soup.  I think this semi helped make me feel less groggy...

*cough* *cough*

Pho for lunch.  That helped my predicament somewhat.
Then back to the couch.
Watched  a bunch of  movies with Heckyl &amp; Jeckyl.  They had never seen Spaceballs before, so that was hilarious- the jokes became fresh again since they were laughing for the first time.

Poor you Lil Me.  Nasty time of the year to be down.  Well any time is I guess.  Keep hydrated !

  Have you ever watched Six Pack with Heckyl and Jeckyl?  It's quite old, but it's really good.  A great 'boy movie'.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

We haven't seen Six Pack.  Thanks for the tip- we'll look for it!

Good morning everyone... PC.

  Bridge to Terabithia is an excellent movie (sad) and your boys may enjoy it, LM.  There are so many old old movies that are excellent, without those special fx.  I can't remember their names though.

Hullo.

Lunch was rice and Kalamri in some sort of sauce.. Breaky was eggs, cheese, bacon, canadian bacon, and beans. Dinner was some sort of ghoulash... (sp?)

  Things are going good thus far I think. We only had one major incident.. a seal on a ballast pump (water) blew and sprayed water all over one of our transformers (think water a good conductor and 4160 volts &lt;the outlet on the wall is 110volts&gt; meeting each other... think BOOM and a big explosion).

  Other than that I have a sunburn and a hangover..

  Hope alls well with all of you where yous are at.

well I made it!
Those 15hr driving days (i was the only one with a licence) and the 70mph winds, dust storms, blowing snow, tumbleweed hitting the car, mountains, rain, snow. Best freaking trip ever. Idaho is like the wild wild west, Wyoming is pure stunning omg awesome, Utah mountains are great.

Yeah that storm. yikes.
Somehow we got infront of it only had to deal with the insane winds. 12hrs of driving and fighting 40mph winds with 70mph wind gusts was tiring to say the least.
Didn't get to the storm until Oregon then it started to rain, and I had to drive through a snow storm in the Cascades in Washington, missed the winter storm warning of 2ft of snow in Utah by about 7hrs. phew.

Gald to hear that you made it safely.  I didn't think you were driving!  15 hrs is damn tiring, I can't imagine.  I got so tired after 4 hours. :P

This looking for a new 2bdrm place is not easy.  By the time I call these suites, they are already rented.  I hope and pray that we find our true match soon.  Wish me luck guys!  I think that I need this luck.

yeah the driving. I had to do it all. lol
It wasn't bad until I got to the border, then my body just didn't want to drive anymore.
first day we left at 4pm at my place due to a friend missing his bag. lol
the first car had issues so we didn't take it, took the beast of a car instead. (hind sight was the right move comfortable ride)

4pm to 11pm to Salina KS
6am to 8pm Rawlins Wy
6am to 10pm outside of Seattle
Then the last day we took our time in Seattle got to Vancouver at 3pm. Looked around UBC, drove to the ferry which was like the Titanic, took almost 3hrs to cross. eyeye

Chances are, if you're in good health and not exhausted, you won't get a cold. Although I'm sure Lil Me is probably in good health, she does take marathon-mom to new heights.  Not to mention, if you got school age kids, they have a tendency to bring home all kinds of stray germs.

Just curious, does anyone own an air purifier machine thingee?  I know that they're pretty expensive (like the ionic breeze) but I wonder if they work.  I'm thinking that it's a great thing if it actually removes the dirt in the air and traps it in this filter because my guy has asthema once in a while.

We had one in Heckyl's bedroom when he was a tot.  At the time, they were noisy and the size of a suitcase!  
But they sell some very nice ones now at London Drugs.  They look very compact.

Did it work for him?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jan 09 08 12:04
  Hard to say.  He was just diagnosed with asthma and started using inhalers at the same time as we got the air filter. (around age 2).

It might be possible to get a Dr's note for your guy, saying he needs and airfilter- then claim it back through your medical plan.

ADD: Heckyl has been putting Vicks on his feet for the last few nights, and he says his breathing has improved.  He is going to the Asthma Clinic at the Bby Hosp later this month- haven't been for a few years.  Will pass on any relavent info for you guy.

Michel- if you really want a free flu shot, you can get one from your public health office for a variety of reasons- live with someone in a high risk catergory (young/old/chronic condition), work/volunteer with someone in a high risk category, etc.  You could probably invent your own reason.

Yeah I know. I'm not impressed this year. It just seems flat. Kyle XY is good. Although an old character who left the show on Smallville is coming back for an episode, so that should be good. But overall I agree, not very good this year.

Is it really common? Only time I've seen my name is on television through two celebrities (well one isn't a celeb more of somebody's famous kid) but they're spelling it the way i spell it. Plus most of the time I see it as a last name and not a first.

  We're supposed to get snow?  I'm not looking forward to that..

Hey purelife! Are you catching a cold? Sorry to hear that. Sending some virtual chicken soup your way.

  I passed my probation!!! Yay!!! Now I can safely say to my co-workers, 'piss off and do your own thing'. No more beating down the new gal.

  Problems still at work. Ppl are still acting like they're kids again. We have a 'higher' rank co-worker who do not do work at all. I'm so amazed that she can get away with it. She's really nice and all but I can't believe she's not doing much at all. She comes to work late almost everyday and no one says anything. OMG.

  I don't know whether to cry or admire her. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Other/1.gif)

Congrats Lise.  

  Uhm, maybe she slept with the male boss?  j/k....

  Thanks Lise for the virtual chicken soup.  At least I don't feel terribly bad enough to take a work day off.  I have way too much to do here since it's a month-end for us.

  Heya Michel - I have a power mate tea (leaves) and drinking it now.  I don't know if it's the same mate de coca that you had, but this one smells good and works for me. :)

good evening all

Yeah when I meant "out to lunch" lol I meant it. My friend and I don't have school on fridays and now that I have a car. woot we're getting out of town. So I drove to Courtenay/Comox wondered what that town was like, went eh, and took the scenic route home and had dinner in the best little town in the whole wide world. Then after that there was a fire in the best little town in the whole wide world apparently an ATM went off or something. So that was interesting. Just got back, gone as far north on the island as I want to go, Campbell River is too far away and probably a bore to go to (unless I had friends living there which I don't). Probably should of gone to Victoria but oh well, next week.
Didn't like seeing all the clear cut on the way on the highway, ruined the scenery for me.

sweet purelife!! this is exciting and great news! congrats!

yes michel its total devestation, easy to spot it from the highway with the snow on the mountains. They cut up right to the highway. Then when you enter courtenay you just see a bunch of clear cut. Next place I'll look is the Tofino route. pathetic waste. Island is a disaster because most of the land is privately owned therefore its anything goes, and people wonder why we have to boil water a lot. folks its not because it was a bad storm...

 yeah clear cutting on van isle is really really bad. they've clear cutted all the water sheds, salmon aren't spawning and we'll be eating liced salmon soon. Then on the main land pine beetle will kill 80% of the forests and instead of letting the trees rot and give life again; Campbell is poised to cut them all down...

our forests are near their end, the baby boomers have done a poor job of taking care of them, its our turn to bring them back.

Vancouver Island is mostly private land, forest laws passed in Victoria only bind to crown land. Private lands you can do anything.
 

They're easy to spot, especially in the snow. If it doesn't look "natural" then its clear cut and if they cut up the river banks (which causes the boil warnings all the time soil in the drinking water) then its clear cut.

    SD...there are 2 sections of baren land on the trip to Courtnay that are the result of a forest fire many years ago.  It is all replanted...but unfortunately a forest takes time.  I don't know if you took in Comox while you were up in Courtenay.  It's a lovely little town and if you head to the far side of Comox, there are endless beaches.  Campbell River is really nice too.  Very much a beachy little town.  I used to not care too much for CR, but it has really grown up nicely in the last 10 years.

  SD.  You're right.  Courtenay isn't that impressive.  The outskirts are quite nice, but the town itself is like any other town that sprawled incorrectly.  The main downtown street is quite nice though.  (especially at Christmas)  It almost becomes a little Rockwell town and the shopping on the main street is full of unique little shops of all varieties.

  I think you'd like Campbell River.  It really does epitimize a seaside town and it's always bustling with all kinds of community events.  In the other direction, check out Chemanus.  Another neat little town surrounded by some unusual and unique old houses.

I'm trying to see what Mr LM wants us to do (he's overseas right now).  Do I pack up the kids and head over the Rockies for the funeral? Or do we just send money?

I'm feeling guilty right now, because my husband is still alive.  I can't imagine what she's going through.

  How heartbreaking Lil Me...this is so deeply sad.  Condolences to you and your family.

  Don't feel guilty hun...I think all you can take from this is to appreciate and enjoy each other all the more.  

    *have you been in contact with Mr LM ?  I hope so.  I'm sure you both need to hear each other right now.  Will he be home soon Lil Me?

P.C. I talked to 2 Conservation officers for British Columbia today and they confirmed what I saw north of Nanaimo is indeed a clear cut logging area. Apparently when Victoria built the highway, the land was all bush, and they used the highway as an excuse to open up the forest in the area for logging.

Oh I KNOW there is clear cutting.  I wan't arguing with you. I was just adding, that there are 2 sections along the highway that were cleared by forest fire.

Evening everyone!
 
 Packing for a trip to AB.  Yes, we're going to the cousin-in-law's funeral.  Leaving tomorrow and hope to be back by Monday.  I had to buy snow tires today!!! (probably not a bad thing to have anyways....I'm supposed to have snow tires to go up the Mt Seymour road.  They only let me pass the "tire check" because I have AWD)
 
 Heckyl and Jeckyl are bringing homework with them.  I'm packing work to bring with me.

Actually Michel, the cupboards that are there now ARE oak, and I painted those white a few years ago.  They really looked dated and I was bored to tears with them.  Almost every house I've been in has had oak cabinets.  No imagination I tell ya.

Oh yea ?  Well yer an oak-hugger. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/h030.gif[/img]

    Here's the thing.  The oak doesn't go away just because it has a coat of paint on it.  It's still oak.  And should 'the look' come around again, I can take the coat off.  I actually once WAS one of those people who thought it was a crime to paint wood.  I'd strip down a beautiful antique dresser only to find a beautiful piece of birds eye maple underneath and wonder who on earth would have been crazy enough to paint it.  Now I know.  Only by finally facing that the wood is still there if I want to revisit that look... was I able to put paint on it.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

I have just learned that all the work I did last weekend for my new neighbour was for nothing.  

  She had wanted textured ceilings, but was having a hard time to find someone to do it.  So she decided she would do it herself.  (I hate textured ceilings)  She bought all the gunk and all the special tools and gave it a go.  Well, it didn't work.

So I suggested, she could get the same LOOK with a feaux finish, and it would be easier to maintain to boot.  She was uncertain how to do it, so I offered.  She was thrilled....and so I did it.  (did I mention that I hate textured ceilings?)  

  WELL !!!  I just learned, that while she was at work yesterday, one of the guys that she had asked to do it, had some free time.  Her son let him in, and he proceded to spray-texture over my painstaking work.  (my neck has been screwed all week)

good evening everyone.

Had a great day, minus the fall i had right behind the legislative building (offices) the sun king, campbell tripped me up ;) (he probably heard my yell) it was the weirdest fall, I ended up skidding on the ground basically, so i'm torn up. Victoria was great, drove around in circles on the Beach road, kept going by UVic over and over again. Thought we'd never get out. Had carribean food for lunch it was very good. A place called the Wave or something, its in Old Town, next to the water. There's a place in Vancouver as well.

Saw Cloverfield, as usual I got freaked out, i swear i can't stand suspenseful movies. lol

the movie was just too realistic for me, people have been saying its been 7 years, give it up already but Germany didn't start doing a lot nazi era films until about 7 years ago. 60 years after, take out the monster scenario and replace it with something else and you've got 9/11 looking film from the dust and falling buildings, to the running people in shock. For example, my roommate said it made him want to move to New York. He first came to NY 2 years ago. He know says "people who still talk about 9/11 are idiots and need to grow up". Most of New Yorkers don't feel that. Then again I spent time in New York right after the attacks and it was the most depressing place on the planet.

 Funeral was yesterday.  There was 2 ft of snow on the ground when we buried the guy.  Had a big ham dinner with the family after the funeral.  I've missed Southern Alberta food.  Ham,pickles, buns, salad, several kinds of jello salads, more jello salad and "funeral potatoes".  Funeral potatoes are served for every occasion.  It's a cheese-potato casserole made with frozen hash browns.  MMMMMM.  Yummy.

  Goulash is lovely. I think we had some in Switzerland? I'm not sure if it's Hungarian but it's goulash. It was soo good, we went back for seconds.

  Dinner tonight is roast chicken with stuffing. Hmmm..... love roast chicken. Best part is we don't really use the entire chicken but mix with breasts and legs so everyone gets what they want. Have to go out and grab some yams later on or else my kids will complain.

I had to drive through it or get hit by the huge storm that was coming in the morning, next day. I didn't know if I was going to make it through the mountains in Oregon, there was this one section where I didn't see any markings on the road (horrible road, the paint was faded and there weren't any reflectors in the concrete or strips to tell you you're going off the road). On top of that the rain with windshield wipers that do not work very well due to the way the car windshield was developed. (typical gm)

First 30 pages Stigma: Notes of the Management of Spoiled Identity. It was good I understood what he was making connections to, he never talked about the reverse situation when the minority begins to hate the majority and be just as bad (which I brought up in class) so it ends up becoming an educated rant so to speak. Then of course she made us read a bunch of articles that correlate with Goffman and you get to understand what he was saying. Still though, he never talked about the reverse.
Which became prevelant and noticable in the 2nd and 3rd readings about a blind woman who hated the "normal" because they treated her differently.

she's fine. She just gives us articles about oppression and we have to find similiarites to the topic at hand, for example we read this story about a blind person and then we had to relate it to what Goffman was talking about.

All my prof's boyfriends/husbands are first nations, so every class is a social justice/ inequality class really. I can't believe I've had to actually defend the United States in every class though, the article's completely gloss over Canada's pathetic record on minorities. (basically every article we read that comes from a Canadian point of view does the typical canadian line of doing this canada vs. u.s crap which ends up with the typical line of somehow canadians are superior which is a joke)

Had goulash today for lunch, they were serving it after my "I dream about Hungary" class. lol The prof talks about Macedonia for 95% of the class and for some reason it gets me thinking about Hungary. lol i'm such a dreamer

Anyway the swiss head chef at school is an idiot, he makes everything swiss-ish. He has to make the kids write everything in french, for example today goulash was goulaché. bwhaha I told the kid serving me you've spelled the name wrong, he said talk to the swiss guy.

"announcing that having achieved virtually everything he set out to accomplish when he ran for governor, he will not seek a second term."

he's the worst gov. in the u.s. one of his accomplishments is cutting 200,000 missouri children, CHILDREN off of heath insurance. We have the highest number of un-insured children in the country, and we rank last in university funding, we also rank first in highest tutition fees in the country for university students (hence why i'm in Canada for economic reasons).

what a free loafer he is, only got elected because his daddy is the #2 man in the House for Republicans.

Put it this way, if you became the next gov. of missouri and bought a kitten and got the cat to go into the liter box, you've accomplished more then Matt Blunt. lol

Hey Lil - it's through work. :)  Oh, got a Q for you.  Do you have just one mattress on your bed frame?  Or do you have two?  If only one, do you find it low to the ground?

Just one mattress.  I find the height ok.  Well, it all depends what you're trying to do :)

             I found proof that the U.S. Federal government is anti-Canadian

This is the entire "Crime" portion in the travelling to Canada section for U.S. travelers on the state department website:

CRIME: Although criminal activity in Canada is more common in urban areas, violent crimes such as murder, armed robbery and rape can occur throughout the country. Visitors to large cities should be aware that parked cars are regularly targeted for opportunistic smash-and-grab thefts, and they are cautioned to avoid leaving any possessions unattended in a vehicle, even in the trunk. Due to the high incidence of such crimes, motorists in Montreal, Vancouver and some other jurisdictions can be fined for leaving their car doors unlocked or for leaving valuables in view. Auto theft in Montreal and Vancouver, including theft of motor homes and recreational vehicles, may occur in patrolled and overtly secure parking lots and decks. SUVs appear to be the particular targets of organized theft.

 While Canadian gun control laws are much more strict than those of the U.S., such laws have not prevented gun-related violence in certain areas of Toronto .

[a href="http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.html" target="_blank"]http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.html[/a]

If you think that's a normal summary of a country's crime I'll give you Germany: (every other country is like this one)

Violent crime is rare in Germany, but can occur, especially in larger cities or high-risk areas such as train stations. Most incidents of street crime consist of theft of unattended items and pickpocketing. There have been a few reports of aggravated assault against U.S. citizens in higher-risk areas. American travelers are advised to take the same precautions against becoming crime victims as they would in any American city.

I don't see that as anti-Canadian, I see that as factual. Everything that was written there is true. The lower mainland, and Surrey in particular, have had the highest rate of auto theft in North America. Vancouver has a gang task force to deal with gun crime and Toronto's mayor is screaming for a ban on handguns due to all the gun crime.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

 It maybe factual but the wording is over the top for another country to comment on when every other country profile is the typical the country fine, etc. etc. I got a feeling that there's a pro gun message in there to americans. It's slanted.  The frist line is over the top and excessive. You can say that about any other country in the world but yet on the state department website Canada is the only one that has this, hence it's a political grudge.


good morning purelife.

Oh yea...the thing I wanted to buy was a die cut machine.  It's very cool.  It came on the TVat some point this morning and was droning on in the background.  I caught a glimpse of this thing, and actually watched an infomercial....lol.  I had to keep watching, because they went on and on and on about all the things this machine could do, but no information on HOW MUCH IT COST.  Finally a price came up, but I think it was rather tricky.

They listed the price of the 30 day trial !!! $49.99 But no mention of the total cost.  So I phoned, and found out that...(spoken really fast)  "Should you decide to keep this product send only 4 more payments of $49.99 plus and additional $39.99 for shipping and handling" (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

I'm sometimes caught in the middle because I don't say much about the other person. I'm the type that don't like to gossip too much because it's just so lame and stupid.

  OMG. That's EXACTLY how I feel. It's like highschool all over again - you either hang with the nerds or the "cool" crowd. Problem is loyalthy is so flimsy there. If you do something 'bad' your 'friends' will run off and tell on you within a second. I trust no one there.

  No, I'm not letting the workplace get to me. The way I see it, it's really stupid playing any game. I just go about doing my own work. I let them tell me what they want and just forget about it. I'm just amazed that adults could act this way.

bwhahahaha
vancover for me is self medication. i just like going to english bay, sitting on the beach closing my eyes and listening to the water, which calms me. I equate it to going to the farm, walking out into the fields of wheat in the winter and just listening, looking around you, seeing nothing but wheat, and hearing nothing but wind. The wind speaks to you and you listen at peace.

Been gone for a month from Vancouver and the Shangri-La is coming along nicely. Shouldn't be too long. My favourite neighbourhood is West End, it feels like home and cozy, while yaletown or false creek feels distant and miminalist. Granville could be awesome, if planners and city officials new what they wanted to do with it. To me Granville should just be pubs, live music venues (from small clubs to the orphiem) and independent movie theatres (artisty movies no blockbusters). Granville was never meant to gentrified which what apparently the planners and city politicians are trying to do.

My roommate thinks I'm nuts but i love east van. reminds me of where i grew up.

    That's exactly what Granville used to be.  It was called Theatre Row.  (This pic is the early 60;s I think)  Nothing but theatres and restaurants.  So it's certainly not a NEW idea.

Morning!
 
 Had a weird weekend.  Heckyl was sick.  Violently ill in his bed around 3am Sunday morning.  During a power failure.  Luckily, I had stayed up late to do some work and wasn't quite asleep when he came to get me.  Got him cleaned up in the dark, put him in a different bed, then spent a couple hours cleaning and doing laundry after the power went back on at 4:30.
 
 Spent Sunday watching movies and doing as little as possible.
 
 Was supposed to go out Sunday night, but decided to stay in, just in case Heckyl had a relapse.  I don't think my 17-year old babysitter can deal with sick bodily fluids everywhere!!!
 
 Today, running errands.  Gotta pay the damn GST remittances.  GST is such a huge pain in the @$$ for small business owners.

I think they're quicker to shut the schools down when there's snow now, because such a huge percentage of kids are driven to school or bussed.  

  I hate to go into the 'when I was a kid' stories, but I will anyways...lol  I really DO remember walking to school in thigh high snow.  But then my school was filled with kids who lived within walking distance.  The only thing that has changed is the concept of 'walking distance'.  I guess some of that is partly due to safety issues in sending our kids walking anywhere these days ?

I wonder too, if the activities our children are involved in are more likely to keep them from befriending their neighbours.  Indoor electronic games, teams and classes that usually put them with kids from outside their own area.  We seem to be driving our kids away from this, by the involvement of amusements for one.  Video games etc.  

We seldom walked to school in groups of less than half a dozen...because the whole neighbourhood played together on a daily basis.

I hate to go into the 'when I was a kid' stories, but I will anyways...lol  I really DO remember walking to school in thigh high snow.  But then my school was filled with kids who lived within walking distance.  The only thing that has changed is the concept of 'walking distance'.  I guess some of that is partly due to safety issues in sending our kids walking anywhere these days ?

We've turned into a car based society mixed with parents are scared their kids are going to get abducted if they walked around. I used to bike everywhere up til high school. I never see kids biking anywhere anymore.

Not complaining though about the day off, lots of reading I still have to do and cleaning as well.

One of the other problems with school closures during snowy weather is that school staff commute from other areas and often can't get to work.
 
 Same problem happens with the City of Van workers, Translink bus drivers, emergency services, etc.

 Well, I managed to "make hay while the snow falls" and got a whole crap load of office accounting done.  Now, time for a bevvy.

  I told my co-worker about it and she says, it's in his nature. Like he's being friendly and all. It's all harmless. But to me, it felt... like a violation of my ten feet of personal space for crying out loud!! Anyways, I just stiffen and kept moving away, saying 'ok, ok, ok' cause I was in shock and disgust. Ugh. Now I gotta go shower.

  Waaah! I need Christian Bale's soothing manly arms right about now...

Speaking of massages, I can't wait for my 20 minute massage.  Our company pays for an in-house masseuse once a year during RRSP season as a perk for us.

 True it might be harrassment for some... but for him its his way. If you dont like it, say something to him, and if he does it again then do something. To look at it from your perspective might be passing judgement on someone else's. In effect, forcing your beliefs on someone else with differeing beliefs.

Er, yeah. I think that makes sence?

At the time, there were no black moniters....and everyone who saw it wanted it.  (it's starting to sound like I'm in to Goth decor...lol)

  Bomb threat at UBC. Yes. It happened. Our building was in lock-down mode because some idiot thought it would be funny to call in a bomb threat. Idiotic and stupid. We weren't completely locked down, things were still going on but nobody could get in and out of our building. I was just glad we were able to get out after 5pm. Kinda scary. I hope it doesn't happen again.

LISE !!!!  So sorry you're feeling poorly.  

  purelife, that soup looks delish.  

  So, I'm looking for a REALLY different gourmet-ish meal to cook.  Sawdust and I used to do gourmet night a couple times a month....(one each), but we sort of got away from it.  So the New Years thing, was to get it back, because it was something we always enjoyed.  (the surprize element as much as the eating)

  I need to 'step out of the box' here, so looking for something unusual (but not weird).  This almost sounds like your forte Lise.  Ideas ?  I've always gone french cuisine, or traditional-ish....but since the hot pot and butter chicken...have become more willing to explore.

 I'm home and tired/wired at the same time.  Vegas was good.  c-c-c-old there right now (about the same temp as Vancouver) made worse when you're walking down the street double-fisting $1 margaritas.

  Awww, thanks guys!! That pho soup looks darn inviting. I hate chicken noodle soup yesterday. Just boiled up a batch of stock and added noodles in. Twas ok. Wasn't as perfect but edible. My taste buds are shot rite about now.

  Feelin' a tad better but still under the weather. Blast this cough!!!!!!! Grrrrr!

  I'm glad you had a grand trip in Vegas, Lil Me. Share them pictures one day! I want to go down to Vegas one of these days. Maybe when the kiddies are older.

  PC - I'm glad that you're more willing to explore other cuisine. It's rather interesting and an adventure of its own. Best tried with friends (as they're supposed to know more) but it's also rewarding to do it alone. Have you tried sushi yet?

I agree PC.  They sure are beautiful, even as a decorative piece in a kitchen.  They're so expensive though.  I saw one for cooking at $80ish if I remember correctly.

I bet the food tastes absolutely delish.  I read that you have to cook onions in lots of olive oil when you first buy one to take out the first taste of the tagine.  One day, I might buy one.  How about you, PC?

There are glazed tagines and unglazed tagines.  The unglazed ones have to be seasoned (kind of like a romertopf).  The glazed ones don't.  I was looking at a glazed one.

  Yes, I think I might get one.  The name tagine is the same for the cookware as it is for the style of cuisine, and I was looking up some tagine recipes....all I can say is MMMMMMM.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: 49er on Feb 03 08 09:20
 
 what's the difference between a tagine and a chinese clay pot?  Anyway, I would test for lead in the glazing if I am to cook anything acidic in it......especially if they are imported

Post by: purelife on Feb 03 08 09:26
Sounds like I've got lots to learn about tagines.  I was looking at some recipes as well and even saw a cooking show on Food Network where some french guy named Ricardo was cooking with one.  He had to soak his tagine for hours.  I don't remember why though.

That's a good question 49er.  I have no idea what the difference is.  But I've heard of clay cooking where fish is wrapped in clay and the food is absolutely divine.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 03 08 09:27
I think just the shape 49er.  The tagine 's design causes the heat to circulate the steam inside to infuse the flavours into the food.

  These are the ones I was looking at.  The site is UK, but the prices seem reasonable to me.

  That would be because it is an unglazed one.  I used to have a romertopt, and you had to soak that one for a couple hours too.  I liked the way it cooked, but I always felt weird about the washing instructions.  It seemed unclean to me.  You couldn't use soap or anything....ick.

Agreed on the no soap is icky.
 
 Lots of people won't use soap on their Brown Betty tea pots, cast iron frypans and woks.
 
 Icky Icky Icky.
 
 Then again, lots of people never use soap on their kid's high chair tray.  They just wipe it with a wet cloth. Sooooo gross.

I am so glad that we're moving out because our suite has now been infested with damn $*%&amp;'ing bed bugs!  I've been itching like crazy and have been swollen like mad.  I knew there were bed bugs around.  Apparently, the guy next door has been working with bed bugs (at his job or something) and have been bringing them home for a year now.  What an idiot!  He didn't tell our Building Manager about this so that she could fight it asap.  Now, these bed bugs are creeping into other apartments, like ours, and and ... SCREAMS!!!!!!!!!  

  Guess what we have to do tonight?  Strip search EVERY GOD DAMN THING, WASH EVERYTHING... that's over 15 loads of laundry at $4/load...may have to throw our mattress... *CRIES!*

 Bit headachey.  Had lost 5lbs of bloating and fluid by the 2nd morning.
 
 The Wild Rose kit is $30-$40 depending on what sales are on (Save On, health food store, etc.).  But there are lots of other kits and detox teas at varying prices.  
 
 Or..you can follow a diet plan or fast without purchasing a kit.
 Here are some from Wild Rose.  The "Lemon Aid" Cleansing Fast is also known as the Master Cleanse.  I know many people who do this a couple times a year, thought I have not tried it myself.

I think I hurt my back a bit shoveling the snow. Hmm..... it snowed this morning but turned to slush due to the rain. I shoveled the wet snow off our driveway just in case it turns to ice tonight. Kinda weird day. Snow, rain, sun, snow, rain, sun.

  Have survived another threat at UBC. Some fracken idiots thought it would be funny to email a 'threat' to the university. When I arrived at work on Weds morning, I saw an email that was sent out to the staff the night before telling staff members that if they don't want to come to work then they can stay at home. I was like, 'er... isn't that a bit late? I'm already here and I just saw this email? WTH?'

  So for the entire day, we were watching out for weirdoes like you won't believe. Anyone was a tad jumpy to say the very least. Here's hoping next week will be relatively normal. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Other/19.gif)

  CNY celebration tonight with family. I didn't tackle the crab dish like I did pervious years. Too much on the dinner menu so I ended up with big ass prawns, noodles (for long life), chicken with coriander and roast chicken for hubby. Took me two hours but at least it's done for the evening.

Excellent!  Glad you're finally en route.
 
 I'm excited about this trip.  It's our 10th anniversary.  We never went on a honeymoon trip, since we were both working full-time on a house reno project at that time.  Now we're going...with two kids in tow.

Afternoon everyone.. swimming? LOL, Im going swimming in a bit. we are at the staffhouse after the rigamarole getting off the vessel, and awaiting on the flights out. As for the swimming.. its monsoon raining, but the pool in the back courtyard is clean.. so Im taking a six pack of heineken and going swimming inthe rain.

Congrats on the 10 year LM! Thats an achievement.. especially the way the both of you still interact. I hope me and the Starfish are like that after ten years and she isnt waiting around every corner with a frying pan! Enjoy Belize! Its an interesting place to say the least.

  So hows the purelife doing? And when did you become a polar bear? Isnt it warm and sunny at home right now?

  Where the heck is Belize?

  Heading off to a friend's party tonight. No more cooking for me tonight! Yaaaay!

I like the Chinatown parade.  It's more traditional for me- that's what my family did for the 120 years before there were fancy-pants HK malls!!!
 
 There's a lot to see- besides the big dragons, each clan hall has a lion.  There's usually something going on inside the Chinese Cultural Centre and outside in the graden, too.

Thanks for the info, Lil Me. We might go downtown afterall. Looks somewhat 'dry-ish'.

  Wonderful time at my friend's place last night. His mother-in-law cooked some real authentic Vietnamese food, none of those crappy fusion type. We had this spicy seafood hotpot with banana leaves! Never had that before. She made so much for us, French style bread, Vietnamese style fried chicken (kinda sour, kinda sweet), pho ga type soup and this mixed meat dome (dunno what it's called) but I think it's some type of meat loaf.

  Tried to make Nigella Express' Hockey Pockey honeycomb but that ended up in disaster. Dang it! She makes it look so damn easy on the telly. What the heck went wrong???

  Anyways, have a good rest of the weekend!

Darn. We didn't go as we had stupid errands to run. Glad to hear you had a good time there, Michel. Did it rain much? I honestly thought it would be pouring buckets by now.

  Ran into any cute Asian chicks while you were there? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/20.gif)

  Heard some rather bad news. This friend of ours just lost her husband but we found out through a mutual friend at the party last night. I haven't heard from her in ages... like I knew her husband was sick but I didn't know just how sick he was. She went into seclusion, did not want any of us to know so we were all in the dark. I'm kinda shocked. She has a little girl, not yet two and they were married for less than five years. Goes to show you that death comes in all stages of life.

  I feel so sad. Like I would have liked to say something to her but this awkward situation... I just don't know how. If I met her in the street, what do I say? *sigh*  Anyways, after hearing that bad news I just hugged my two girls.

I had a really nice weekend.   Had a HUGE dinner over at mom's...lotsa food.  Today, we just did laundry, browsed around shops.  Chicken pot pie for dinner. :)

Hey Michel, can you post those pics up here? Would love to see them even if you claim they're not very good. Just curious to see what's up with the parade.

  Oh, purelife... the recipe for Hockey Pockey is [A href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_78750,00.html"]here[/A]. I tried like two times and failed miserably!!! I don't know what went wrong. The first time I think I added too much syrup and the second time I followed step by step but it didn't turn up hard like hers. Plus the stupid honeycomb got stuck to the baking sheet. Waaaaah!!!! She makes it look so simple but I can't make it!?!?!

  BTW, where's PC? I haven't seen her in ages!

 That's awful.  It's difficult knowing what to say when someone dies.  It's important to respect your friend's privacy, yet you want to reach out and do something.  This must be really hard.  HUGGGZZZZZ
 
 purelife- what a fun weekend.  And chicken pot pie.  MMMMMMMM.
 
 I officially have too many books.  I've spent the weekend packing boxes for storage, as our place is being painted while we're away later this month.  The pile of junk keeps growing.  So far divesting myself of 4 large bookcases, a pile of small bookcases, 30-40 boxes and a computer.  Mobile storage unit arrives on Thurs.
 
 Hope to live the spartan life for a while.  Listing this place for sale in a month or so.

Couple bucks each.  I needed to buy a few lg for pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, board games.
 [a href="http://store.uhaul.com/boxes.aspx"]http://store.uhaul.com/boxes.aspx[/a]
 
 The liquor store boxes are great for books and DVDs.
 I'm also using a bunch of bankers' boxes that my friend got free from work.  She's already used them once to move.
 
 I've used the banana boxes from Costco before.  They're voluminous, but once you fill 'em up, they're very heavy and unwieldy.

  EXCELLENT Recap purelife.  I think I may hire you to be my personal assistant/secretary.  The pay is good, with pool boy benefits.  

  Packing is a lot of work...but something about it is kind of fun.  A chance to regroup, assess what you have in every corner of your house, and then ulitmately the anticipation of starting a new phase.

Morning! Well, to catch up.. lunch was Costco as I got a bunch of uh, much needed stuff that was on sale. Then I made those huge costco meat patties for dinner.

Other than that I managed to overindulge as friends stopped by..

I still think your avatar PC looks something similar facial wise to that chick from Starship Troopers and Wild Things.. uh.. .. .. Denise Richards. (love IMDB)

Im still trying to figure Michels out though.

Ye Gods, this lunch thread has moved quite a fair bit. I missed out on lunch, porn and Michel. Blast.

  Welcome home, Russ-meister. Did you miss the rain? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/7.gif)

  Looking forward to lunch today. Apparently my friend is planning to bring me spagettie in white sauce but I'm bringing back-up.... just in case. Hehe... not that she's a bad cook, she doesn't cook as much so I'm hesistant about today's surprise. That's one thing good about working with women, they love bringing dishes for you to try. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Other/18.gif) Did I mention I've gained weight since working here?

  Aaaaah, those guy students that are a-coming. So damn cute. I dunno. They're young, handsome, full of ideals and bright eyes. The 2nd years are so sweet, I just want to take them home with me. Dunno. Maybe put them on the shelf or something. *sigh*

Well.. I went out to buy some sausages and coffee from costco. I ended up at an appliance store and bought a brand new model gas stove. After walking out I though maybe I should have called the starfishie first.

Bets on how long I live? Maybe I will get away with it cause its a nice stove...

The thing is that they would only do a free delivery if your order is more than $25.  Their butter chicken (which could easily be split into two meals) is $13.99.  Naan bread is 2 bucks.

  To tempt you, here's the butter chicken description:

Awww.... cute Google logo, Michel.

  Good luck on the move, purelife. Hope all goes smoothly with you.

  Bloody hell... our car broke down in the  middle of the road. It's the damn transmission again. Hubby took the car to the dealership and was told there's been a leak somewhere. No transmission fluid so that's why the car broke down. We're terribly dissappointed - we paid like $5,000 to get it fixed no more than two years ago. Anyways, we're going to try and see if we can still get by with the warranty. After paying THAT much, you'd expect the car to go a couple more years.

  *sigh* We may have to trade in the car for a smaller model. No fun. But this car is nearly 14 years old so it may just be the kick we need to get a newer one. Kinda sad because we had so much good memories with it.

Oh no...sorry to hear that Lise.  It's probably a good idea to trade anyways.  :)  We had similiar problem with our transmission before too.  Expensive indeed!

JEEEEZ...I logged on, and in the length of time it took for the white screen to disappear, I got my living room and lounge vacuumed and lunch dishes washed, dried and put away.  (ok, well it was only a knife and a plate....but STILL)  grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

  Ice wine is delish.  I often use it as a sub for dessert.  More often than not, after a big 'company' dinner, nobody has room for dessert.  It's sweet and luscious.  Mmm

  *hmmm, let's see how long this one takes to post.

I'm gonna bless you, PC in the hope that it'll settle your loading time.

  Thanks for the tip about ice wine. So you just serve it by itself? Nothing else? I hear it's quite sweet so I just serve it in wee little chilled glass or do I just chill the bottle?

ice wine = caviar of wines


all this wine talk makes me want to work on a winery this summer.


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 18 08 07:32
Ice wine is best chilled for about 2 hours in the fridge before serving.  You want it chilled, not cold.

  If you are going to serve it with dessert, make sure the dessert isn't sweeter than the wine...something like a fruit salad....but the best thing is a slice or two of a nice strong cheese.

  If you are ever buying ice wine, don't pay big bucks for something called Iced Wine.  Iced wine is made from artificially frozen grapes...not grapes frozen on the vine, which is what gives you 'authentic' Ice Wine.  There is nothing wrong with Iced Wine....it just doesn't have the same value as Ice Wine and shouldn't be priced as an ice wine.

Morning!

We made it to 'a' hotsprings this weekend not the one we wanted to. At the trailhead turnoff it was ok for the first 500m but after that it got real deep real quick! And only me and one other could keep going so we had to turn back cause not everyone would make it. At that point in the night we had been up 24 hours.. that stupid accident with retards driving like idiots on the sea to sky just past squamish had us sitting in squamish around the white spot for 6 hours.

I broke a number of things on my truck but made it home...

Rear Shock.. the bolt holding it sheared off

Both battery holdowns.. had grounds on both, neat to see sparks coming out from under the hood

Radiator expansion bottle.. the bolt broke and it fell into the belts on the front of the engine and made a nice big hole in it. lol

Right rear disc brake seizing.. dunno just lucky I guess. I drove until it wore away.. nice metallic screaming sound.

  So hows everyone else's weekend? I actually had a great time!

Dinner last night tasted awesome.. probably cause it was at home.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Feb 18 08 08:17
Morning lovely miss PC!

Yes an adventure it was.. good times. We had a great time, and ate tons cause we had all the food for the first day and morning which we never ate on time.

We went in from the Pemberton side and were heading for Sloquet. After attempting to get up it for a few hours, when it was getting light out we decided to give up and head for Skookumchuck or St Agnes well. So we headed back about 30 klicks along the logging road and went into there. It was a chance to be honest because the government bought skookumchuck off of the family that owned it and gave it to the local native americans in some land claims, we didnt know if it was still open. But it is.. and the family that owned it are still there and are taking care of the place for the local band. Which Im happy about.. its still there for everyone.

 Morning P.C. and Russ!

Sounds like fun times, Russ.  Always an adventure for you.

We're in Houston.  Heckyl and Jeckyl are doing homework before we leave the hotel this am.  Going to NASA today.

Ate grits for breakfast.  Figured "when in Rome..." eat grits.  Tasty.  Crunchy.  Gritty.

Stumbled upon what is apparently the best taqueria in Houston last night.  Full of Mexican families- Mr LM was the only white guy there.  Delicious, cheap, filling.  Ate a barbacoa taco and a marinated meat taco @$1.30 ea.  I was stuffed.

  Where is your next stop ?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Grits are a corn dish- think of a salty cream-of-wheat made with corn.

In Houston for a few days.  I just love it here.  Very friendly people- very chatty.

Leaving for Belize on Wed.

It's not bad today.  It started out crappy....but seems to be doing OK.  Mind you, I've ALWAYS had trouble on DS....usually more so in the evenings.  For the life of me I've never figured it out.  Even when I wasn't having trouble on any other sites...DS was painfully slow for me.  

  But lately...the last week or two, I get the endless white page which eventually turns to a timed out error.  I get so frustrated that I just haven't been bothering.....but I MISS YOU ALL !!!

Houston Space Centre at NASA was great.  Particularly enjoyed the "behind the scenes" tour of the Johnson Space Centre, NASA.  Had my 3 free drinks at the hotel and a pile of free chips, popcorn and pretzels.  Went swimming, then going to head out to the Olive Garden as soon as I can wake up Mr LM and throw him into the car.

 Spent the day at the Kemah Boardwalk.  It was fun, not crowded at all.  Went on rides.  Heckyl and Jeckyl enjoyed the Spongebob movie/ride in 4D.  Ate crawfish etouffee for lunch, washed down with a Hurricane.

Free happy hour at the hotel.  Next, getting ready to go to the Goode Company BBQ.  Supposedly serves the most BBQ per day than anywhere else on earth?

ADD: Also pet and handfed some sting rays.  What a weird experience.  They feel soft and rubbery. When they come out of the water, splashing and lunging at you, it's quite terrifying.

Loved the creole food.  I had the crawfish.  Mr LM had blackened catfish.

Dinner was....meaty.  BBQ ribs and brisket.  The Goode Company BBQ supposedly has the best Texas BBQ. You take your tray outside and eat on a picnic table.  There's a definate mesquite taste in the meat.  They use green wood for smoking.  I'm glad I tried the Texas BBQ, but I'm just not a fan of this genre of food.  It was cheap and filling, though.  Time to take some Rolaids and lie down.  Russ would like this place a heckuva lot more than I did.

OK. OK. If memory serves me right, Doug and Carrie almost divorce because she got a job offer in New York (or some big city). Doug wants to settle where they are because it's comfortable and he doesn't want a big change. Eventually Carrie turns down the job offer because they decided to adopt. Then get this - Carrie becomes pregnant in the end! So they have two kids.

  It's really funny. Good stuff.

OK, I check on the BC map here, Osoyoos is the right spelling. If you drive SD, you might want to pass there, it's an amazing  road with beautiful mountains that reminds me of Capitol Reef National Park in Utah, with big basalt columns. But as I said, the border crossings there are quite small and some might close at 11 PM. Still, it gives you the chance to drive through a small desert.
 
You can also pass by the 20 in Washington through the Cascades. The Liberty Bell mountain is something to see. This way you're sure not get stuck at a closed border crossing since you'll then pass by I-5. Of course all this assuming you have time.

I don't understand the attraction of Ossoyos but my hubby is adamant it's a pretty place where you can do all sorts of wonderful things. Like probably looking cool in your spandex as you hit the water or something ridiculous.

  And ja, I've heard it also damn hot. I dunno. It's not exactly my kinda place. I prefer Harrison Hot Springs to be honest.

lol, I am from Vancouver. I don't like Vancouver at all. BC rules though. As for the taxes, I am just whining.

  Osoyoos is nice if you are at the water during the heat waves. I love to get as far away from any city as much as possible on my days off.  Vancouver was good my parents tell me, back in the 60s.

  Harrison Hot Springs is too packed full of city folks looking for an ideal pseudo getaway for the weekend. It is nice, but I would rather sneak out of work mid week and go to avoid weekends.

  Vancouver is too dark and sad, fun to see in a rear view mirror.

 I agree with you 100%.  How long have you lived in Vancouver?  It's very dull and very expensive.  The only thing that is good is the weather (compared to the other provinces), imo.

  So sad. Just heard from my co-worker that another co-worker of ours has just lost her baby. The baby was 5 months old, not even out of the womb. Some complications. It was a boy and they named him. I feel so sad for her. Kinda makes you think about all those women who have abortions like it's nothing to them and for someone like her who tries desparately to have a child and couldn't. Life can be cruel sometimes.

HUGGGZZZZ Lise.  That's very sad.

I think Osoyoos is nice, Lise.  HOT, but nice.  If you're not into heat, try kelowna.  Find a nice place with a pool, if you're not going to camp.

We had a blast at Nk'Mip years ago.  Camping on the lake.  Haven't been back recently, but probably will soon.  My aunt and uncle bought property there and will start building this summer.

Spent the day swimming, eating and drinking.  It was a great day.  Internet is unreliable at best here.

lol. purelife, I don't find Vancouver dull. I am not into nitelife though. It is as exciting as any city on the west coast for me. Just too many gangs, drugs, and depression. I think it is the weather too. Amazing to see rays of sun in February. Cling on to every last bit you can. I woul drather be a little cooler and actually see more sun in the winter.  

  Lise, sportsdude and I could agree, we love Canada. I think BC (besides being taxed to hell), is the best place I could imagine living.

  I just want to get lost in the forest with no crappy crowded neighbourhoods and lame condos, drive by shootings, heroin addicts begging for money, trying for an hour to get a parking spot at a boring mall, arrghh, McDonalds everywhere!?

back in stl

in all seriousness vancouverites don't complain about the crime, it's super safe. You guys are just spoiled by a super non-violent country and are a product of an over sensationalist media. When I came to Vancouver at first I was in shock about the lack of people walking around with guns on skytrain, the streets, the malls. Be happy you live in Vancouver which is super safe and not a place that is dominated by guns.
anyway that's my two cents.

People carry guns.  They just don't make it visible, that's why you don't see it.  Other cities besides Vancouver is safe.  How does Vancouver compare to other cities in other Provinces in Canada?  I'm too lazy to google right now...

Good morning almost afternoon everyone.

Ok, since it's such a beautiful day, we are definitely visiting Deep Cove.  I haven't been there before.  First stop is Cates Park.

 So cops and security guards don't carry guns in Vancouver?  I take it these are the people you are comparing to here in the states.  I live in the Bay Area, a hotspot for the gang violence and driveby shootings and I don't see people carrying guns publically unless required by their professions

I am a Canadian that has traveled throughout the USA several times. I seen as many guns as I have in Canada...not many.

I have never been to St. Louis though so I can't speak for that town. I have been to Dallas and I was told it was supposed to be like how sportsguy says, everyone has a big 'ol gun in your face. Didn't see guns in Dallas at all. I did enjoy some good BBQ's and American football though.

In Seattle I see more guitars than anything, I like that!

 I don't see secruity guards in metro town carrying 9mm. Skytrain stations are rarely guarded by any visible secruity. Only time I ever saw guards at a skytrain station was in New Westminister by the Quay. 2 guys out front standing around.
St. Louis, mall security has guns, regular secruity folks have guns, on the metrolink (skytrain) there's at least 7 cops on the busy stations, 2 with semi automatics, the rest with 9mm, then every station after that there's at least 2. All with guns.
When I first spent a weekend in Vancouver I went the whole weekend without out seeing a visible cop or a gun. I thought it was weird, walking around at night seeing no secruity force. Yet I felt somehow at ease.

Then again when i was in school we always had a cop patroling the hallways with a loaded hand gun.

I had a gun pulled on me twice in Vancouver and I was minding my own biz. Once was just from a cabbie making a dumb error in the wrong part of town. Our cab had SUVs on all four sides of it with guns pointed at us as we were slowly escorted out of that neighbourhood.

  I am not saying Canada is worse than the USA for gun violence, but I am not saying Canada is better either. I know sports will disagree, but he is a young lad that needs to pull his head out of his ass.

Good evening everyone.

We spent a beautiful day at Cates Park and Panoramic Park in Deep Cove.  It was quiet and the weather was perfect...not too hot, not too cold.

That's odd that you only saw two cops with guns at New Westminster station.  Usually, I see about 4 of them almost all the time.  If you were here in August, you would see more cops around when we have the fireworks.  I guess they like to come out during huge public events, other times, they are quiet and perhaps undercover as well.  There are guns, people do carry them.... they hide them well from public viewing.

great day, surprised grandma by walking downstairs into the kitchen this morning. (she didn't know I was coming) :).
Talked to my cousin, found the village where my family comes from (my avatar is a church from my family's village). Overall great day. Glad to be with the family.

Loved the drive from Vancouver to Seattle, such an easy drive. Trying to get the family to move out to Seattle. ah well.. someday.

I feel safe in Vancouver too.  I've walked home several times past midnight and caught the bus on Main Street to the skytrain late nights.  I don't see a lot of cops around and sometimes, I'd like to see some around, especially by Main Stn, but I never came across any problems.  Well, that was a year ago, it may be different now.

That's a BIG church.

  I sure do, Miss Lise.  For me, I find that excercing and eating fruits help.  I don't take vitamins often but I would have multi-vitamins once a week or so.  Ever since I was more active, I rarely get sick.  I get days when I don't feel all that great, but it only lasts about a day and that is usually due to no sleep or stress.  And, as soon as I get to work, I wash my hands.  There are too many germs in the skytrain.

Morning PL, Michel, SD, and everyone else I missed.

  Good weekend.. didnt make it to the hotsprings we were attempting to but we went to another set. We made it farther than the 1 km mark this weekend.. we made it to the 4km mark and found a Nissan Xterra thats been stuck there for three weeks. But then we camped on the side of the road and came back out, as one of the trucks was constantly getting stuck down to the frame. The snow was waist deep.

Saw the owners of the XTerra on the way out, they were hiking in. Wanted us to tow his vehicle out?!?! What a fool. IF we were getting stuck and the snow is waist deep, how would a stock height vehicle with bald tires and no chains make it out? Apparently he was driving IN when the snow was coming down in the big dump weeks ago.. why would you continue to drive into a rough enough area with all terrain tires and no chains by yourself with no other vehicle when the snow is dumping down? Some people scare me...

  Anyhow.. hope everyone else had a good weekend!

I called to find out an insurance quote and mein gott! The quote for her to me was insane. She's still got that green tag thingy and no discount so its over 3k a year! With mine its something like 1700. So I guess Im going to be the principal driver lol.

  Hows everyones plans on this fine feathered day? Im thinking about starting again to play with putting the motor in the Tahoe.

Wow...what a nice low mileage car..that's really low considering it's a 1999 vehicle.  May I ask how much?  Did you guys go to a Dealer?

  No cheesecake yet, Russ... can you believe that my last cheesecake munch was Feb 14... AND I have no craving for it?  LOL

  I feel so naked today.... because I left my wallet at home.  Thank goodness I have caneed soup in my desk.

 Good for you on the cheesecake.. You can have whatever cheesecake comes my way, I dunno, I seem to think Im the only one that despises cheesecake even though I love cheese ?!?

  You feel naked just for not having your wallet? Wow, if only it was really that easy with girls. :) :)

I dunno whats happening with me for lunch, but yesterday afternoon I had a few sushi rolls left and had them on my kitchen counter. I then walked away for 5 minutes and when I came back our black cat was covered in bits of sticky rice, raw salmon, and that fake crab stuff they put in california rolls. I think Chloe was in heaven

Whats the plans today? I think Ive got the engine assembled enough that Im going to drop it into the Tahoe this afternoon. You never know though.

  Michel.. I think I figured out your little comment there. Still no hubcap yet? Send me a pm again about the info on it, and Ill make some calls later to see what I can find for you.

  Just you and the missus and the keg to Tahoe?  

  My morning is going great so far.  We've been moving a lot of stuff to our new place and I think it should be done by Friday.

  Now, we just gotta figure out how to get rid of our old furniture.  Does anyone have any ideas?  We're thinking of posting on Craigslist or something.

  Williams Lake is small.. think small. Theres not much there or to do, its only busy around the summertime.

Kelowna is huge, with lots to do. I have a number of friends that have moved up there after getting sick of Vancouver. I myself have contemplated leaving Vancouver and moving up to the okanagan area like Kelowna, Penticton.. etc. Kelowna does get super busy during the summer, but theres lots going on all year round. I myself would look at Kelowna, so much to do and see around there, including Peachfest from Penticton, floating down the creek there as well drunk. Ahh.. the memories.

Kelowna sucks in many ways. Plastic people and the Okanagan Lake is a cesspool. Too Touristy and overdevelopment on that lake with no environmental controls have turned the lake into a soggy diaper. I recommend Vernon and north to Shuswap. Horrible planning for traffic too in Kelowna. They planned it as if it was never going to grow.

  Williams Lake is small with a hurting economy. A lot of pissed off, laid off mill workers, etc. and a red dying forest. Dirty town full of rednecks!

  You should try the East or West Kootenays. Becoming very touristy, but still not overcrowded yet. Cleaner air, nicer mountains, better water, better everything! Still a lot of rednecks and hippie scumbags, but the area kicks on anything in the Okanagan.

Agreed, but if SD can get a job for ths summer, it doesn't really matter where.  It's not like he's gonna live there for the rest of his life.

Evening everyone!  On my way home.  Had a faaaabulous time in Belize.  Loved the beach, loved the jungle, loved the ocean, loved the culture there.  Now I'm seriously bloated and my liver hurts.  Jeckyl and I are evenly toasted, Mr LM and Heckyl (the palefaces) are showing a bit of healthy colour.

In Houston for the night and not hungry.  I even passed on the free drinks in the hotel (after 1 glass of wine).  Started the morning waaaay too early, woke up at 3:30 am and couldn't really sleep after that.  On the road by 6:15, had instant coffee, plantain chips and instant noodles for breakfast at the airport in Belize City.  Made it to the taqueria in Houston by around 3pm for a late lunch.  Time to lie down and veg.

  Lil Me....sounds like a fabulous trip.  Good for you !!!  I'm so happy for you...(except the liver part)

  I agree with the Kelowna vs Kootenays thing.  Kelowna don't impress me much.  I enjoy the area to a point, but the landscape has always left me cold.  Sage and brown grass just doesn't work for me.  I like trees and green and lush forests.

  Anyways....(now I forget who said it)...but a summer job is just a summer job.  Go where they're plentiful.  You get to leave at the end of the summer.

  Tired again. I gotta say some people are work are bloody slackers. I don't understand how some people can get away with NOT doing anything while the rest of us work like sh*t. Like I can't just sit around and not do a thing. Lazy bunch of slackers.

You didn't go into the Coquitlam IKEA, SD? Shame. It's only like the biggest IKEA store in BC. I love that store! If I could buy everything there, I would.

  Have you moved yet, purelife?

  Had a 2 year old b'day yesterday. Boy.... felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. Virtually every kid there was a girl. Must be something in the water. We were surrounded by all these little girls ranging from 9 months to 5 years and only two little boys. Kinda funny to see them not play with the boys. Ah well... plenty of time for them to catch up and play with boys later on in life.

  Looks like another fantastic beautiful day. Not sure what we're doing but we're heading out. Gotta catch sunshine whenever you can.

I would like to live in Maple Ridge. They have good 4x4 clubs. Not really hillbillies...more like rednecks, but people who commute into Vancouver for work, commute back home to their 4x4 and back hills. I would rather be a redneck than an spoiled Emo...or Metrosexual Vancouverite.

  sports, Ikea sucks (to each their own). Their products are cheap quality and it is trendy garbage. People don't buy Ikea for the long term for 2 reasons. 1, it doesn't last, 2 it goes out of style as soon as the next years catalogue comes out.

only thing i know about ikea is that its swedish, they build their own neighbourhoods now in sweden (i made a thread about that on here) and scandinavian people see it as scandinavian pride. (friends landlord/prof at uni) they go there to "support scandinavia". lol

  I was in the IKEA in Guangzhou, China last December and they were just as busy as they are here......only difference is there's no parking lot or garage structure next to the building as they do here and Europe

Jeff Healey passed away today at age 41. This guy was a great Canadian guitar player. Lost his eyes to cancer at age 1 and started playing guitar at 3 years old. Grew up in TO's west end.

I wasn't a huge fan, but I did respect him. He could rip it up on guitar and had decent vocals too.

 Spent yesterday retching my guts out.  By evening, I had simply given up on ingesting liquids.  Slept for 10hrs and I feel better today.  I'm eating ramen noodles, which may be a bad idea, as I need to leave for an appointment soon.
 
 My home is still a hideous mess, but at least we can navigate our way through each room.
 
 49er- hahaha. I'm fairly sure Mr LM has no other family but us, however it is a running joke around here.  He's doing a contract for an old friend in SE Asia, and spending a lot of time with this guy's family.  He packed an extra suitcase full of Shreddies for his friend, as I guess this guy misses Shreddies from home, even though he's been in Asia for 10+ years.

Did you get your damage deposit back?

  Good to hear LM about you feeling better. Speaking about Lunch, I had to take my Dad out to get a haircut (why he couldnt do it on his own I dunno), then I kinda figured out why. He wanted to go to Bonn's on Broadway for lunch and couldnt remember where it was.. He also mentioned we had to pick up his buddy to bring him as well. So there we were with me getting bored of reading a week old paper while those two sat and complained about everything under the sun. I finally hinted about 50 million times about having other things to do before they decided it was time to go. Then the best part.. BOTH of them handed me their bills. My dad told me that his buddy's wasnt very much so I could pay it too, lol.

  So whats everyones plans for dinner tonight? Im doing some sort of chicken and asian noodles stirfry with corn and salad.

 Well, if it makes you feel any better PC, I thought I was doing a brilliant thing and buying this style of beer mugs from Ikea.. cause they were cheap and my friends are a bunch of drunks that like to drop things. After two weeks I go back to buy more and Ikea no longer has those ones and have changed style. I was not amused.

  Ha PC.. I appear to run a bed and breakfast with all my friends that happen to pop by and crash the night without any notice.

  Well, we ended up standing at the line in Silvercity looking at all the movies available thinking.. they all suck. So we ended up seeing 'Jumper'. It was "okay". A renter not a theatre type of movie.

  Oh.. we also decided on cuba for this sat, coming back on the next sunday. Then we still have a week to trapeize over to the island and do the one end to the other visiting relatives. Starfishie is ecstatic for some reason (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Thinking/4.gif)

Lil Me, why is it good that there is no Americans in Cuba? Are Canadians better? (psst...this is an American website too)...SD is American I understand too!

  I will just say, everytime I have been in the USA, I get treated better and find people are very friendlier, than when I am hanging out in my own hometown of Vancouver.-

  Cuba is gorgeous. Havana is a crazy town. I liked Holguin too. Holguin is quiet and good if you are on a honeymoon or something. If you are into nightlife, Holguin may not be for you. Not a rum fan...until I had Cuban rum!!

Morning all! I sept in after the Starfish crept out.. I feel guilty lol.

  Today is read a bit more about Cuba, but we think we have most of the info we need. Although we know when we want to go, we are waiting another day before booking because the prices for the flights and hotel deals have dropped 300 since when we first started looking. We are more than likely heading to Varadero.. I think? We will be taking a trip into Havana for a day or two. Lots of pictures!

  Nothing wrong with Americans.. I agree with everyone. But I also see what LM is saying Tongue in Cheek.. its not FLOODED with tourists from closeby. Although it does seem to be flooded with Canadians.

 Using chicken thighs instead of breasts, more ginger and no fudgesicle.  Using regular noodles.

wow! That picture looks awesome. The only thing that scares me about Red Mountain snow is it sometimes falls to the earth passing through smelter smoke from Trail. oh well, I will try not to eat it.

  I went to Whitewater last year and the snow was deep then too.  Now I am excited!

Yes, it is all still better than 1998 - 2005. Skiing was very hit and miss. Went all the way to Fernie around 2005 and we ended up sitting in a hot tub all day rather than skiing. It snowed, but thawed, then froze, then thawed, then froze. Skates would have been better than skis.

Enjoy your road trip, Van Dude.  Yer gotta take some pics and post some here.  I'd love to see some cuz I've never been out there but hoping to one day. :)

  I drank my cranberry detox drink this morning and walked to the skytrain.  It took me a while to get there but boy oh boy do I feel energized.      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Everyone is so polite on DS.

  That detox you are talking about, do you have to give up a lot of foods with it?

I've just eaten like a mogul.

  Stir-fry  duck with ginger sauce followed by baked trout with a fresh fruit salad to follow (I wasn't paying).  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 05 08 12:08
We sure are a friendly, polite bunch.  That's why I'm here and not somewhere else. :)

  I kinda cheat.  I don't buy a detox kit to help me out.  My grandpa is on it and he swears by it.  It's basically a drink with cranberry/orange/lemon juice with cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.  I don't really know the whole deal around it, so I made up my own.

  I'll be drinking it morning and night and then have lots of fruits (yummy strawberries and berries from Costco!) and veggies and dairy.  I've started to cut out red meat and would only have a little and once in a month or so.

  TMI?!  

  I'll stop now. :)

red meat is one of the smartest things you could cut out from a diet. I still eat a BBQ steak from time to time, but I stay away from ground beef and any fast food.  I want to eventually give it up 100%, but it is so hard.

 Yes!  Hard indeed.  

 

 I give both of you credit. I wouldnt bother trying to give up my red meat (except fast food). I couldnt live without it.

 Afternoon to both yourself VanDude and miss PL. I missed what you said VD.. where are you going?

 Wait I just read.. You been to Fernie?  LOL! That place is hilarious! We went up there a few years ago with a buddies girlfriend who was from there. Its an inside joke but we kept bugging her about this 'Bear Aware'. It was apparently a mandatory part of her highschool curriculum.

 Im heading out to Cuba on Sat but when we come back the next sunday, we are loading up my Tahoe and heading to the island for a few days. Next weekend Starfish wants to come back from the island and head out to Seattle area and visit some of my relatives I have there &lt;that I didnt know about until very recently&gt;.

 OK.. Im off. Gotta run and do some errands. All I have to say is earlier I was trying to set the timing on my Tahoe.. wasnt like any of the other GM's Ive done. I couldnt find the damn advancing wire that you have to disconnect, and ended up buying the manual for the truck, and the year I have is an oddball year with it being in a totally different hidden place than all the others. Sheesh. That took like 4 hours for a 5 minute job.

 Van Dude- have an awesome time at Red Mountain.  I love the Kootenays.  We've contemplated buying land out there-- but--nah-- too far away.
 
 Poutine, salad and a cider for lunch.
 
 Purelife- yes, our place is painted (mostly).  Painter is returning tomorrow for touchups.  S-l-o-w-l-y getting everything else organized, but I doubt we'll be able to list it for sale until April.  Too much going on.

 I've only been to Quebec City once (as a kid).  Thought it was a pretty cool place to visit.  Learned a lot about early Canadian history that summer!  It was also the first place I saw a table d'hote menu.  The family kept joking about wanting to buy bras in the brasserie.  
 
 Also, my sister and I bought whoopee cushions (the rubber bags that make fart sounds) in a souvenir store-- we hid and squished the whoopee cushions as the caleche drove by.  The tourists in the caleche either laughed or looked really confused.... ah, the joys of being bored on holidays with your parents.

  Michel, have you ever been to Wayne's Bagels in Calgary? They bake the bagels with a wood heater and I can't compare to what Quebec has, but Wayne's are better than anything I have tasted in Vancouver. (Maybe the owner is from Quebec?)...

 Wells, BC is a weird town (not too far from Quesnel).  We went there to go to Barkerville.  Outside almost every house is an old toilet bowl filled with flowers.  There is a funky restaurant called The Bear's Paw.

You don't know the real bagels probably. Never found any outside of Québec that taste like real ones. People here have been able to imitate French bread but not bagels so far. And it's even worse in the States. Pouah what's that thing ? A white bread donut ? lol I think the law forbid the cooking of real bagels because there's no preservative in it. A little bit like the issue with some cheese from Europe.

Sorry but it's true unfortunately.

  Good morning everyone

  Michel, I think the reason you can't get a decent bagel anymore is because they bake them now.  Real bagels are actually 'poached' or boiled.  They are quite easy to make yourself (although kind of a lengthy process), but if you yearn for a traditional tasting bagel, you better get out your mixing bowl.  You can also still find the occasional bakery that boils instead of bakes.

Ahhhh....if you read a little further, it would appear that the Montreal bagel is poached AND baked.

  "In contrast to the New York-style bagel, the Montreal bagel is smaller, sweeter and denser, with a larger hole, and is always baked in a wood-fired oven. It contains malt egg, and no salt, and is boiled in hney-sweetened water before being baked in a wood-fired oven, whose irregular flames give it a dappled light-and-dark surface colour."

  Speaking of feta cheese, has anyone out there tried the greek island flatbread at Safeway.  OMG, yumm!  I always ask for extra feta and cucumbers.  But, I take out the ranch spread and get the avocado spread instead.  A healthy $5 meal. :)

I've gotta try that.
 
 The Mount Royal Bagel Factory is quite good.  There are a few locations throughout BC, plus they sell the product in some grocery stores.
 
 When I was in high school, we used to hang at Benny's Bagels on W Broadway.  I remember picking up a friend who had just moved from Montreal, to take him to this "cool place" where we used to have bagels and coffee with all the candles burning everyone.  He thought it was crap.

Amazing LM! We think alike! I had indian as well for lunch.

  Well, bad news.. apparently even though the online places showed packages and hotels... the flights have been booked up for a week already! They just didnt update online.. Waaah! So no Cuba for us.. travel place called. We placed an order a little while ago and it sent an automatic email and said there was a problem and a representative would get back to us. Called me this afternoon today and said all the flights were full for about a week now.. it just doesnt always show up online. So they said lots of people that were booking more last minute were getting cancelled.

Sucks!

  So Im waiting for the Vengeful Starfishie to get home. We might look at other places... dont know.

Yeah.. That is bad. If you look it STILL shows other Cuba vacations. We booked earlier after the price dropped otherwise we wouldnt have gone.. apparently it automatically does that? The lady tried to get me to swap to Mexico or the Jamaica.

Starfish didnt seem too enthused about going elsewhere. We might just end up going down to teh states for a bit.

I really liked Jamaica. The beaches were pretty amazing. Cuba was sweet too. I was more relaxed in Cuba to venture out and see the culture. Jamaica not so much, I pretty much felt I needed to stay close to the resort where I was.

  Hey as for the bagel discussion, Russ, you could load up a bagel with some fresh roast beef, bacon, cheese, mustard, mayo, and have a helluva bagel sandwhich. Cream Cheese is good too...

  Happy Bagel Thursday! I want an official one now!

Then talked with a buddy about his south nanaimo garden he's got going on in his back yard, bought a bunch of tomato seeds, corn, squash etc. Calls it his farm. lol

Probably for the same reason they have a sign on the doors on the Ferries.  Caution: Pinch Hazzard.  Now....what kind of an idiot would need a sign to tell him that if he leaves his fingers in the door while it closes....it's going to pinch.

 I had a screaming deal for a while, because I was the 3rd member of the family (at 50% off) but Heckyl and Jeckyl have quit for a bit, so I'm paying more...about $85 a month.  That's with the discount for prepayment.
 
 Not sure which martial arts are near you, but I know some Masters teach out of community centres and school gyms.  They are cheaper.  Same goes for yoga and pilates classes.

Well, I spent the day at the Bay.  I don't know if anyone remembers the story of our nightmare fridge and stove purchase.  Back when I was remodelling everything?  Anyways, the fridge we bought (which was upgraded because our salesman screwed up) has developed a 'split' down the interior wall.

So I went to see them today, and they are going to replace the fridge AND the stove, (with models far superior to what we originally purchased).  That was March 2005.  (wow, time flies)

Amazingly enough Lil Me....I just went down there last week and told them of the crack in the liner.  I said it was clearly not an 'impact' crack, as it bulged inward to the space.  They sent a repair guy, who said the problem was common (something to do with the spray foam insulation) and offered a cash rebate or a replacement.  I chose the replacement.  So as the fridge I have is discontinued....and they can't come up with a fridge that matches my range (I told them this was important to me) they offered to just replace them both.  The range alone costs more than the fridge, stove, rangehood and extenden warranty.  The whole replacement will be more than 3 times what we originally spent.

No kidding Lil Me.  Mind you....they botched the transaction badly right from the get go....and they know it.  And they know that I know.  We ended up with an upgrade on our original purchase, and our sales guy thought we should just be grateful.....when in fact we ended up with a fridge and stove that were not a 'pair'.  After 3 stove deliveries....and 3 separate fridge deliveries, trying to get it right, we finally gave up...or gave in.  But I was always a wee bit pissed off.

  Karma has kicked in.  But kudos to them for doing what is right.....many places would not....and certainly not after 3 years.  He has also kicked in our extended warranty for another 5 years.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Mar 07 08 10:09
Saw left it up to me.  

  I firmly believe that this type of situation has much better results when not coming across as the squeaky wheel.

  The whole process required no 'in your face' discussion.  They were very eager to set things right.  I may have gently steered them in the direction of including the stove as a part of the replacement, because the whole mess revolved around not getting what we ordered.....a MATCHING fridge and stove.  I have NO complaints how the manager has dealt with this situation.  And I agree, Lil Me.....I think they are more willing to deal when the process is quiet and reasonable and polite.

  Dental experience of the day. I ended up polishing my kid's teeth since she won't open for him. Next time I'm stepping outside and letting them handle her. I bet she's misbehaving because I was there. We didn't end up letting the littlest one go on the chair because they felt she was far too young. Overall, it was a positive experience. I just hope it'll go a lot better next time.

  No cavities. Phew.

 Well, I had early Easter dinner with the extended family aka The Gong Show.  I was running late.  I finally got to the restaurant, then I lost a contact lens on the sidewalk outside.  Found it, but it had a big scratch on it, so I chucked it out.  Made it thru dinner ok, having the good sense not to drink too much because I had to get home with one eye.  Managed to get home...over the second narrows bridge, thru the tunnel, down the highway some more...  Discovered that if I clamped one hand over the blind eye, I was no longer seeing double.  lol
 
 Now I'm at home chugging back some homemade hooch.

 yeah bunch of odd balls. the culture is mostly dead though, after the war, we were all either kicked out of hungary or forced to assimulate (which basically meant learn hungarian instead of just speaking german) but after the revolution and then occupation, we started getting minority rights finally. Apparently the german schools in the country side are back up and running in the late 80's.  It be nice to get an official apology from Russia and Hungary but that's not going to happen. lol my grandmother rebuilt Donestk, hungarians took our homes, and the germans left us to die in the siege of budapest. lol ah what can you do.

Bummer about the contacts Lil Me.  I wore them for years, and am glad to not have to anymore.

  I still need glasses for the computer, and reading glasse.  I have more spares than a normal person should need, but for some reason the blasted things are always walking away.  So I keep them all over the place so I don't have to look so hard.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a070.gif" border=0]

Good afternoon everyone.

  I had a black forest ham with swiss cheese sandwich and some grapes with a friend whom I haven't seen for 17 odd years.  So much to catch up on.   I can't believe she remembered things about my mom that I don't recall at all.  She pointed out that my mom had two fridges.  One fridge was for food and the other was for bowls, chopsticks, cutlery etc.  I don't remember two fridges!  lol

 You had lasik eye surgury, right?  I remember you referring a company.  

  I'm used to contacts that I couldn't give them up to laser surgery.  I'm so used to them that I would have dreams about me putting on my lenses or finding them.

That's funny about the dreams purelife.  I used to have dreams about putting in contacts too....except they were always really large...like the size of a Looney.  I don't even want to know what that dream translation might be.

 he's scary to live with, when everyone in the dorm has there doors locked and is afraid to even leave your room, it affects you, takes motivation away. Then you have to deal with sit downs, conflict mediators, its emotionally draining. Every morning, every night, the guy started bickering about something right before a mid term I had. I was late by 10 minutes. Its a prison. The guy leaves every weekend to go fishing for 2 days, everybody in the dorm starts being normal and happy again.

The majority of the movies pre-date me!  Although there are a lot of baby pictures of me.  My grandfather was quite a good amateur photographer.  He developed and enlarged his own pictures in makeshift darkroom (a closet) at home.  He died in 1980, and much of the photographic record died with him....since none of us are as talented or diligent as he was.

From what I gathered about this thread..... it had something to do with a dean and worms????? Oh and a brief glance of Russ sitting on a horse. WTH? *confused*

  Busty co-worker told to put more clothes on her. Should have made it clearer. So now she has to walk around with a lab coat.

  Kinda hesistant about wearing my new scrubs. I bought a set at the convention and it feels skin tight but that's the fashion. Now I'm not so sure about wearing it around in case I get into trouble. Bloody office politics.

  I told this other co-worker her days were numbered. So bad of me. I felt pretty bad because she burst out crying. I shouldn't have said that. It's just that the supervisor is giving her a bad time (like everyday!) and I don't think she's going to make past her probation. Half the staff members are against her. The union is not exactly 'listening' to her story and I doubt the clinical manager or the dean will back her up. It's really unfair for her. At least I'm honest with her.

Good morning PC. I love my mornings. I just got back from a swim this morning.

  I feel for you too Lise. Office politics are no fun. That is one of the main reasons why I left the office life to work for myself. Unfortunately, I have no Busty co-workers...but I can just look in the mirror and flirt with myself! "hey Van, You looking Hot today honey"....ummm..so..

  I am still in different offices a lot meeting people and going over work, but it is different than what I use to do. I use to have a cubicle, and I almost killed myself, then I moved into an office, that wasn't much better, finally I quit and took control of my own life. Making more money than before via. contracts, and freedom, oh God sweet freedom!! I work from home, different office meeting places, or my laptop from anywhere.

 P.C.- the dialogue is from an old Monty Python sketch.  I can't hear the word "Bat" without thinking about "oh, what a silly bunt".
 
 Ski day today.  But I hafta hang around here and deal with some strata council &amp;^&amp;*^#^ first.  We've recently installed an extra exterior garage door, with computer-coded remotes.  The eventual plan is to get rid of all the keys and link all the exterior doors to the computer system.

Sounds like some good plans here.  I also have to get the car in for maintenance.  I think I need brakes too.

  We're just going for dinner at family.  We'll probably do some sort of an Easter egg hunt with the boys.  I've taken a few days off next week so that should be wonderful time spent with family. :))

  ADD:  If the weather is nice, we'll go hiking at Lighthouse Park.  I've never been there and should be nice. :)

  Michel - early stat this year... but then we have to wait another 2 months for the next.  :(  At your job, do you get Boxing Day as Stat?  I know some companies offer it and some don't.  Luckily, mine does.

greatest/luckiest dog i think ever. Came to us as a 1 or 2 year old, showed up at my mom's school after a bunch of tornadoes went through town. Then had to have back surgery when he was 8 because he jumped on my bed too much. Poor guy was a mutt, he got the long big body and short legs. lol Still looked like a puppy though, acted like one too. Angel's probably not too thrilled, Ozzie was too blue collar dog for the Queen. She's probably already hissing at him. Tigger lost his best bud though. lol when I was packing the car about to head of to B.C. he jumped in wanted to go along. Family's burying him down on the farm next to the other family dogs. We didn't want to take him to the vet.

lol! No, stay active, eat a lot of healthy food, you will be like Superman (or Superwoman). My opinion, diets are stupid. A life of eating good quality healthy foods is what humans are meant to do.

People say they don't have time to stay active, but your average Canadian plops down in front of the TV for 4 hours every night.

  Knee high boots, purelife. Damn sexxxy ones too but they're not real leather. That's the only drawback. Still for like $40, it's a good deal. I don't know how long I can walk in these ones... probably a couple of hours at the most. And yeah, I had to buy them to go with my skirts.

hello, Happy Friday. My ride was fantastic. I am going to be sore tomorrow. It was damp, but beautiful on the trails.

  If you get time, check out the Revelstoke area. The mountains are amazing, and it is very lush. The town is small, but that is probably a good thing. Kamloops is a good place to get food and gas. Shuswap is nice before the busy summer season. Canmore is like working class "Banff", but a really good coffee stop place. Calgary is good if you are into going into a bar where it is swimming in beautiful women!

My roommate was the one who said "invade" first. second weekend I was here. His best bud is from Alberta. They all fled more or less. Expensive to live there. Its in a joking matter but they do stay together though. I went to Victoria with a bunch of them, tourism majors, didn't really talk to me, I'd start a conversation and then they'd sort of look at me and then continue talking to whomever. I run into them all the time, but they don't notice I'm there.

The only albertan I'm friends with is from Calgary on a volleyball scholarship had a class together. Everyone says I'm hysterical but when they're all doing something I'm not invited. oh well.

Yes, P.C.  Things have changed.  After the dentist's consult, the dental assistant came to get me before anything happened.  The kids' dentist is a friend of ours-- he's a wonderful older man and I trust his judgment implicitly.  
 He explained everything to Heckyl and there was no pain, no panic.

lol. Actually I was a republican in name only (publicly) up to the Supreme Court decision that made Bush president in 2000, by the time inaguration came around for Bush, (I voted for Nader) I was finished fooling around and started publicly attacking the administration in school instead of mocking it. After 9/11 I was the only one in the school of 500 people to publicly denounce the supporters of Bush (at the time when his approval rating was in the high 80s low 90%s). Told everyone in a class, that the U.S. would never get out of Baghdad once they went in. That caused a class riot, teacher was yelling at me saying I was completely out of line and a traitor. (oh my so scared) (went to school with a bunch of neo-con religious goofs) I was never brave enough though to stand up for the only girl in religious class who said she was pro-choice. Instead when I said something on that topic it turned into my church is better then your church and you're a baby killer.
 
 in name only because I wanted to get into political arguements with my dad. Saying you were "liberal" is a disease in the midwest. So I was the social democrat republican, the act worked til '00. After I voted for Nader. Then I stopped playing around.
 
 good times, had fun in secondary school.
couldn't stand the kids that wanted to "bomb all the arabs with nukes" folks. Country's too polarized, had to leave. Then I come here and Harper is doing the same thing Bush does. lol

lol you've got to understand the praying for dog people is my church we broke away from the conservative goof balls back in the 90's and they more or less have condemmed us to hell since then.
for example: we have women pastors, gays are cool (majority are for blessings but everyone is afraid to pass something at convention, I mean we have lesbian and gay pastors, just afraid of the backlash), anybody can go to communion, we're left wingers, we don't take the bible literally (earth created in 7 days? please, what a load), women actually have a voice, etc. Oh and we can have "inter-faith" cermonies with people from other religious and not face excommunication for "worshipping with satan". We don't excommunicate for being liberal open minded. You won't see us at a "right to life" campaign, more save the earth...

Everything above is the complete opposite of where I went to school. lol

The greatest movie moments in comedies happen in St. Louis. National Lampoon's Vacation, they go to St. Louis and get robbed. Trains planes and automobiles, Martin's character goes nuts at the airport has a fight in the parking lot. Then in some science fiction b movie that's always on sci-fi channel, the city gets blown up by aliens.

I also hope you don't think the Canadian prairies are like that? They might make you drink a Pilsner and watch CFL football, but other than that...

That is a good way to go. I do the same thing with pasta sauce. I have a whole freezer full and I never get sick of it. That is one thing I made sure I learned from my mother before I moved out on my own.

  well, I am going to lay flat on my back in my living room and turn up some music and close my eyes for a bit before I call it a night.

Morning PC.  Are you playing in your garden?  We have rain today and it's pretty gloomy outside.  My morning is going great.  It was really quiet taking the skytrain this morning.

  My guy started a new job today.  We are VERY excited about this opportunity because then, we can truly start our family.  :)))  We want kids NOW!

  I've got a garden question for you PC.  I was looking for herbs for my kitchen window sill.  Could you recommend a few good herbs to have?  I can probably have about 4 or so.  I was thinking parsley...  And do you know if they sell this long row of a wooden box with compartments for planting the herbs?  I don't know what it's called but I don't want the herbs in the green planter that it comes with in stores.  I'm a very green newbie in this area.  :)

Choose herbs that don't grow too wide or tall. Chives, basil, parsley, and thyme are good choices, plus they are ones you're likely to use most often. Just make sure your container is at least 6 inches deep.

  I find it odd that when I'm watching the weather and they do a country sweep, they always seem to leave out Quebec City for some reason. I've got a cynical reason why, lol,  I guess they figure no english speaking people live there, so no need to cover it.

likewise on the french channels, non-radio-canada. You'd think the private owned TVA's would at least cover places like BC on a regular basis. Although a couple weeks ago Sullivan was on trying to speak french. omg lol. I speak better french then him.

It all depends on what you're looking for, SD.  I would say Nova Scotia, for beautiful scenery.  P.E.I. is nice too, and I guess it is picturesque, but it is flat.  You would meet friendly people in both places, particularly in the smaller towns.

well its my parents 30th coming in in two years, they like "cape cod" places. From what I remember on movies (green gables) and pictures PEI to me was always Cape Cod but bigger. lol Although Nova's south shore has all the light houses and then the bay of fundy.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Mar 17 08 11:55
In  the older small towns you would find a lot of heritage-type houses in both provinces.  I still think Nova Scotia would have more of interest, but if your parents visualize Green Gables, then they would find a lot of that in P.E.I.  I think that is their largest industry.

 Went to Nova Scotia when I was a kid (parents had to travel there for work).  That was when kids could fly free on Pacific Western Airlines.  It took all day to get to Toronto.  The plane went: Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary, Regina, Brandon, Toronto.  Took the train to Ottawa then flew to Halifax.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

The humming birds have tricked us the last couple years.....showing up in March.  I didn't have their feeders out yet.....and they never came back.  I read that they a creatures of pattern....and will go to wherever there was food the season before.  If it's not there......they move on.  So we've lost them, and hope to get them back. They are so entertaining.......scrappy lil buggers.

  I do have all the paint from the house....and the trim colour.  It's a pretty close replica....visually, though nowhere near scale.  If Mr. P.C. built it, it would be bang on.....I'm far less fussy than he.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Mar 17 08 09:59
The fact that you built it at all in awe-inspiring.  You are very talented and skilled.  I'm sure the birds will approve of it without hesitation or criticism.  I suspect you are being your own worst critic and the house is flawless.

  I can't recall seeing hummingbirds before May, but there likely isn't anything to attract them.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Mar 17 08 10:05
I think May is when we take more notice.....but if you're actually watching for them.....it's more often March or April.  I think the year before last, they showed up in the first week of March.  I was so mad at myself, because I had just mentioned only days before, that we should get the feeders ready....but didn't.  Missed them by THIS MUCH.

Ireland was the most awesomist..(is that a word??), place I have ever visited. I got a strong spot in my heart for that beautiful land.

  Didn't celebrate too had last night. I actually have work I have to do today. Tuesday always seems to be when I realize I got to get caught up on things.

All good though. I love my job! (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/11.gif)

Morning Michel and Lil Me.

  Almonds are just really high in fat if you eat more than 6 or so.  I could eat two handful of them but won't...  

  Cheezies, Doritos, those are yummee... I also like Mrs Vickies.  I think I want chips...

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Van on Mar 18 08 11:27
Umm, egg salad sandwhich here. Not tasting too great? usually I like them.

  Almonds are so good for you. They have the fat your body needs. Almonds are good for your colon and are a strong cancer fighter. I am no dietition, so you may want to look it up, but I think if you are active, you could eat way more than 6 almonds.

  Darn, you had to mention Doritos!! Tortillas and salsa are my biggest weakness in life. I don't get the healthy tortillas either, I mean, if you are going to snack, you may as well do it right!

snack food, I figured out that if I don't buy the chips for a while, I begin to not miss them. Then once I do buy chips, the bag is pretty much gone after a day or two. Same for booze. (not good when you live in the states, everything so cheap (wine and beer wise))

  Costco sells a pack of 8 with Minestrome and Lentils, Amy's that works out to be $1.50 each.  CHEAP compared to $2.50 in stores.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 18 08 12:13
 While it seems cool. The idea of bottles of wine for 3 bucks (big bottles not tiny) and then a 24 pack for under 10, leads to over consumption. My family goes through 1-2 bottles of wine a week, then when I'm around its 2-3, 3-4. lol

Wine isn't "special" its our water basically. When you can get 4 bottles of wine for around 12 bucks...

I like that B.C. controls alcohol, hikes up the prices etc. While people moan and groan about how expensive it is (a 20 dollar bottle of merlot here is 5 to 8 back home), it stops you from excessing. It does for me anyway.

Very wide circles.  It takes time to get back to the starting point.  Speaking of dashing, I just noticed the time, so here I go for another sprint.  This time it is a tenant's meeting.  They plan to tell us why they are going to dig all around the buildings and rip up the patios.  *cry*  It could go on until November, the way I hear it.  I'll have to find a sidewalk to set up my lawn chair.  Life can be cruel.  *sigh*

 Gorgeous day today.  When I finally got my car back from the shop, I needed to zoom downtown for an appointment (with Heckyl and Jeckyl in tow).  Then we had time to goof off at English Bay and have an early dinner (fish n chips at Pickwick's).

No-name tomato soup is often 0.33 at Stupidstore.
 Sometimes there's a Case Lot sale at Safeway or Save On for the Campbell's.
 
 Tomato is ok, but I have a weakness for Scotch Broth or Cream of Mushroom.
 Canned soup is hangover food.

It was just so stupid the way they related the story.  Like Hong Kong is the only place on earth that you might get punished for theft....going on about their 'tight regime'.....she was fined 143 bucks for heavens sake.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Mar 19 08 02:52
I have never tried it purelife, but it sure sounds interesting. I watched a program the other day where a guy was making them.  They look super simple.  

If you want to try them, you really don't need a deep fryer.....as a matter of fact, I would recommend NOT using a deep fryer.

The quality of home deep fryers is not very good. We had one, and ditched it for a much more expensive model....it is no better......you'd need something of commercial quality for it to maintain the heat when you place the food in it.  The temp drops too quickly in the home appliance variety.  You can get better results with a deep pot on the stove.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Mar 19 08 03:08
I just went and searched for some recipes and you're right, it is simple!  And I could just use a wok to deep fry it and not a deep fryer.   I'm excited to try this because my guy LOVES deep fried ice cream and I own a huge wok!

that would be my neck of the woods. Trying to get in contact with the farm, no luck so far. If it gets high they close the lock and the area the farm is at becomes a fortress. Then if the water gets up to the levee road, its run for the hills, it'll only take about 10mins for a 20 mile area to go under. lol But doomsday won't happen, almsot happened in '93.
The town a mile down the road from my house is on the Meramac River. It floods a lot. They just added a 50mil dollar lock, gate and levee system. Personally i don't think it's going to hold. Crest is suppose to happen about a foot below the top of the gate. That's a lot of pressure.

Only people we worry about is the farm. They're the ones at risk. My house is on a cliff over looking a valley in a 15 mile radius. We're in the cliff part.

 haha.
makes life interesting though, I must say. Then again I never listened to warning calls. Always drove around during the storm. Although, if you've never had your house sway back and forth from winds before, the first time is a bit of a frightening experience.

I don't mess with Hurricanes though, been in way too many of those in Florida to know when to flee.

Although once people know I'm from a place that gets tornadoes, a couple people I know tell me they'd like to be in one.  crazy.

I find it amazing that people choose to stay there and rebuild after such a disaster.  I would be looking for a new home far away.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 19 08 08:53
a lot of the places are rural. They're tied to their land. My cousin just bought a house on the hill side and my other cousin is building a house on top of the bluff. lol

yikes looked at the flood stage for the local town where the farm is. flood stage is at 30. The river will crest at 40.4. 50 is the bubble bursting stage. Anything above that and its a disaster, nothing will hold it. etc.

So there's probably going to be flooding on the road to the farm. That'll all be underwater. and remember the river picture? lol the river was high then:

[img style="width: 392px; height: 294px;" src="http://i26.tinypic.com/n2byux.jpg"]

I'd be 15ft under water if I tried to take that pic now, apparently.

   If the land is under the water it isn't much use to them.  And if their home and farm equipment have been ruined by the floods they would not have much use for it.  

  In Egypt the lowlands used to flood every year, but it enriched the soil for replanting.  Is that what they do there?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 19 08 09:06
 everything is dammed up now. the corps went through in the 50's and straightend out the rivers. To stop the floodings etc. So natural floods don't happen anymore. They don't in Eygpt either. they did the same thing.

everything is insured. So everything gets washed away, and then everyone rebuilds. The only problem the farm has is that in the late 70's the feds called the area a flood plain. So if you're house burns down, you've got to rebuild on stilts.

Tornado back in '98 got within 100 yards of the farm. If the farm gets a direct hit you're looking at 5-7 million in damages, not counting the land.

The big farms (like my family's) survive, the one down the street will fall under. A bunch of my cousins friends joined the national guard, needed the money. unemployment is around 20% in the hills.

Anyway those are the people that are affected the most. Probably the only thing my family would miss is their sports cars and boats...

   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on Mar 19 08 09:10
I thought the boats would ride through the flooding if you put a long enough rope to tie them.  The sports cars would be transportation to get out of there before the water reached them.  It sounds like it could be doable.  But the families down the road would have a tough time of it.  

  I know the Nile has been changed now to prevent future flooding.  I was referring to ancient times.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 19 08 09:22
yeah the families down the road are all going under even in the ethanol boom age. Corn and Wheat bushels have never been higher.

Yeah well "acient times" was still the case until post world war II. lol Grandpa learned how to swim on the Mississippi. Obviously you can't do that now. lol It's all come back to bite them though. Katrina would have been weakened a lot if the corps hadn't trenched everything in the delta. Marshlands disappeared, the natural barrier of New Orleans against hurricanes. lol Saddam did the same thing in the "fertile crescent" dammed up the tigris and euphraites and the craddle of civilization went dry and dead. god we're cruel to the earth.

Good late afternoon everyone.

I had a nice quiet day today.... took the car in for maintenance (oil change, etc) but to find out that I need to get other things done that would cost in total about $600!!!  Can anyone recommend a cheap mechanic?  I think Minit Lube is too expensive...$88/hr for labour.  
I also made some oatmeal, raisin muffins.. and had that for lunch. yummee!
I just love days when I don't have to work. :)

I do enjoy most of their products, but I don't much care for their meat pies, in particular the beef.  They ARE loaded with meat, but there's something about the spicing that just doesn't taste right to me.  The chicken and turkey fillets are beautiful.

Just a note of caution for sports. Maybe don't use a nationality when you are refering to certain people. Everyone knows what school you go to, it isn't very secure to give out the nationality of your prof. Cruel people on the internet could go out of their way to cause damage.

Sports - you can usually tell people apart... you just don't have to mention where they come from all the time. I can't speak for the people in my culture but it feels like it's a tad demeaning. Yes, it's great to acknowledge where you come from but I wouldn't go pointing it out all the time.

  I don't know.... it just feels uncomfortable when you go about saying stuff like that. (like all the time.....)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 24 08 05:24
i understand, its not demeaning at all, it's just how I recognize people, always been this way or I won't remember you're name at all, I have a hard time.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Mar 24 08 05:27
Heck, I don't remember people's names all the time but I don't put them into category of where they come from. Personality-wise maybe but never from what countries or culture they come from. All that is secondary compare to how well I get along with that person.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 24 08 05:39
I'm not judging, it's just a mental note of how I remember names along with childhood experiences of how friends called themselves. Everyone was ethnicized. Only people my age do this from where I live, people 5 years younger then me don't or don't even have this outlook. I've explained this before but nobody seems to want to believe me, because it's hard to believe, which is fine. Its hard to believe now that growing up "italians" and "indians" just for an example, hung out together and called themselves "the italians" or "the city kids". They weren't americans they were "italian-americans". the double hyphenation has stuck with me.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Mar 24 08 05:46
Forgive me for saying thus but I find that's an odd way of remembering people. That kind of thinking... of perceiving people in this way may run the risk of alienating yourself.

  As for me, I don't see people based on their skin color or where they come from. I just don't see it. I don't even care if you're from Mars or Jupiter or wherever. I just care about how well we get along. I might be interested in learning about your culture or how you grew up but it's more of me getting to know you as a person rather than where you come from.

  That's just me. I guess for some people, it's different way of connecting.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Uhm... I never said it was racist nor in any way implying that you are racist, Sports. I don't think I can change how you perceive people or 'remember' them as you put it. I'm just letting you know you do run the risk of alienating yourself further by continuing along this path.

  OK. I gotta run and fix dinner. Have a great rest of the day, SD.

We traded in our Camry for the new one. Twas hard to say good bye to the Camry but I don't want another transmission problem later on. Wish we had traded it the moment we fixed the problem two years ago. Oh well. Live and learn.

Well, enjoy your relaxing day, Michel.
 
 Apparently I'm still asleep as well.  I poured the wrong soap into the dishwasher (Palmolive).  I scooped most of it out, but there's still a sink full of bubbles.  I just hope I don't end up with a kitchen full of bubbles...

Good morning everyone.

  Y'know, that happened to me once, but with the washer at the laundromat.. (oops!)  The Lady Owner quickly poured some fabric softener and that did the trick to calm the bubbles down.  It was pretty embarrasing for me.  

  I woke up this morning at 5:15 to leave at 5:30 for a morning walk/semi jog.  It was really refreshing.  I don't think that I have ever left that early to walk.  

  ADD - Michel, it's a good thing to have a relaxing day.  You could surf the net all day long with Lil Me's tips in mind. ;)

  Hiya Van and LM.

Hey sister Lise...congrats on the Matrix....hope you love it as much as I love mine !!

  So today I'm figuring out who I can go after with this TV business.  Blasted Future Shop doesn't even want to listen to you if you didn't purchase their extended warranty.  I mean really, with or without an extended warranty, there's something wrong with a $3000.00 TV that only lasts 2 years.  I'm stinking mad.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Mar 25 08 01:58
Oh yeah...there's no shortage of TV's around here.  We pulled the one out of the shop for now.

  I never thought about house insurance....would it cover such a thing?  We had a monster bar on it which is supposed to protect from power surge....but apparently not.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Van on Mar 25 08 02:03
Darn, those power bars should have helped? I guess nothing is foolproof.

  It is worth looking into with the house insurance. May be a lot of dealing with pain in the butt people and waiting for answers. But worth it for a TV like that.

Same here Van....I personally wouldn't spend a nickel at Future Shop....Santa had different ideas though.  I told the guy that an extended warranty would not have stopped the TV from blowing up....something is faulty.  They insisted we get the $200.00 power bar.....why?

It wouldn't change anything anyway, it's just like asking Toyota to cover you because you got into a fender bender. Nonsense.

That's true purelife.  The problem with products falling apart within months after the warranty expires is that they are knowingly producing inferior products at premium prices.  I wouldn't have as big an issure if it were a 4 or 5 hundred dollar tv.....but jeeezzz.   When I told the guy that my mom and dads tv, which is almost 60 years old, still works, he said...'technology has come a long way since then'.  Sounded like a contradictory analogy to me.

People who rent have a different set of circumstance.  You have to insure your contents on your own.  The owner/landlord of a house has to carry insurance if he carries a mortgage....but the tenant is required to insure themselves.  I believe it's the same if you rent and appartment etc.

'Black Cars...Look Better in the Shade'  (Gino Vanelli)

  Certain styles of cars almost demand to be a certain colour.  Sometimes a car looks best even when it's in a colour I didn't think I liked.  Those Chrysler 300's look rich in ivory, they look almost threatening in black and look mundane in any other colour.

  There's an old 57 T-bird that's always parked at the beach, and it's a wee bit lighter than a butter yellow...even the mooshy leather seats....and it is the richest looking car ever.  One of my faves....yet butter yellow would never be a colour I would consider being a favourite.

  It's like this one but a hint more yellow.  OOOOO...YUMMY !!!

Me too. I am all caught up on my work so I will have coffee here. I am thinking of going for a swim soon.

  Any weekend plans? I am not sure yet myself. Kind of open to plans. I know Saturday, a buddy wants me to help do some siding if it is not raining. I hope to finish by early afternoon. Maybe a couple brews?

yeah lise his break was really bad, his arm would pop out (the bone) at night and he'd be screaming, We had to take him to hospital and eventually he had to quit school, was in the jazz program. Obviously couldn't play with one arm. Went back to Abbotsford.

Hey Russ....put strips of bacon on your turkey.  Keeps it moist and prevents the breast from getting dry. I wrap it around the drums too. And only put your tin foil like a tent.  Don't seal  it around the edges, or you'll end up with steamed rubber chicken....lol

Hey!
 
 Spent all freaking day at Dr's office and X-Ray lab.  Waiting for ankle xray, though Dr thinks it's probably a 2nd degree sprain.  Got some crutches.
 
 I considered hobbling with an umbrella, but I don't have any carpets- just slippery floor- and wooden umbrella handle+ floor= that's a recipe for another injury!!
 
 Feta and spinach twist from Cob's for lunch.

Hey all.. busy busy. Finished the last minute cleaning and vacuuming. Bleh.

Turkeys in the oven.. wish I woulda seen your post before PC. I ended up putting the damn thing in, NOT covered in tin foil and on broil for the first 20 min before I remembered.. ah well, the top skin will be a little black, lol. Other than that I reput it in with tin foil and on bake not broil. I woulda done the bacon but its already in.. next time I WILL try that. Got the roast dry rubbed with garlic, montreal steak, and rosemary. That will go in at four.. Im attempting the Yorkshire Puddings again, I did do the hot pan and not opening oven like what you said PC.. still didnt work out last time though.

  I also ended up getting roped into getting a new toilet with my dad for my brother today. And ended up walking out with new grills for my bbq! So I was happy with that.

  Yargh! Im tired. So.. do I start with a beer now or wait a bit?

Ive got a poured pint of beer from my kegerator. Things seem so much clearer now...

Be right back.. gotta dump the roast in the other stove and get another beer.

  Hey.. how long do you normally put the potato's in for? I usually bring them to a boil and let them go for ten minutes. Ive chopped them up small after peeling them this time so they cook faster.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

What kind of potatoes are you doing, Russ? Like boiled or roast? I don't use time when doing mine. Just insert a sharp object into the potatoes to see if they're soft.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

As long as it takes for a fork to poke right through feeling the softness.  :)  I would also add some salt to the boiling water.

Hullo DS'ers! What a fine uh, WHITE, day today. Has anybody else noticed its snowing in buckets outside? Theres lots on the ground where I am and its sticking. Im thinking about taking my toyota out and doing donuts just cause.

 Re Potato's.. I do end up jabbing sharp objects in the potatos to check.. so I AM doing it right. They came out great. But my DAMN Yorkshire Puddings didnt fluff up into big puffy thingys again. Waah.

 Lil Me: I didnt coat the turkey in anything cause it was a butterball turkey, I stuffed the thing with stuffing I made the night before, and closed it with those metal pins you end up having hundreds of. Cause it was a 21 pound bird I cooked it for about 5 hours at 350, then for another 20 minutes with the tinfoil removed at the end.   For the roast I covered it with olive oil to get it a bit moist, then put a dry rub of Montreal seasoning, rosemary, and mashed fresh garlic. I seared it at 500 for 20 min, then about 60 minutes at 325.. until its at 125F internally.. thats medium rare.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Mar 28 08 12:21
   Sorry Russ....was on the phone.

  This is my guess.  I think I would add another egg to a recipe that size.  Mine is almost identical, but half the proportions and it calls for 2 eggs.  Eggs are the only leavening agent in Yorkies, so don't short your batter of eggs.  That's the only thing that makes them rise.

Second....I would replace the butter with vegetable oil, because you need it piping hot before you put batter in.....butter has a low smoking temp, and will probably burn before it is actually hot enough for Yorkies.

Temp sounds too low.  Start them at at least 475 to 500 for 8 minutes....then lower to 400 for another 8 minutes.

And last....start with cold milk and cold eggs.  Beat for about 2 minutes (until its all frothy) and let sit for about a half an hour somewhere cold.  If it doesn't sizzle when you add it to your muffin tins...the oil isn't hot enough.

  I'm slapping a guarantee on this.....lol

Jeeebus.  A huge pileated woodpecker just pecked the bejeezers out of my retaining wall.  He trashed it in about 10 minutes.

I'm a goof, I went to the provincial offices about inquiry about federal services. They told me to go to the federal building, duh. I keep having "I'm from Missouri, don't know anything" moments.

I had to google "retaining wall" because I don't know how it looks like as I'm not familiar with home depot language, but I have to say that that pecker's got one fine beak!  lol  I guess you need to get it replaced?  Hopefully it doesn't cost too much to repair it?

Well is shouldn't cost too much to repair....and it didn't cost a nickel to build.  Just the labour to replace it is going to be cost enough though.  We used thin fallen logs off the property to build it....but I think I will probably replace it with a rock wall.

  It's like this little drawing

  Yeah well I've got nowhere to go really. Dorms are kicking me out at the end of April. I'm not staying for summer, family needs me again, back to that lovely job I did for 3 years. lol BC-Alberta-Sask-Manitoba got a friend in the Twin Cities, uncle in KC. Some people might come along with me on the Canada trip but I don't know if they'll go or not.

then next summer it'll probaby be the toronto-ottawa-montreal-quebec city trip. Then the year after that its atlantic canada plus the rest of new england I haven't seen (nh, vt, maine). Then sometime I'll do Newfoundland and I want to see the arctic ocean and the dempster highway that goes up there. So that's everything but Nunavut.

I highly doubt they're going to want to go to these parks and such (they just want to see winnipeg). I'm going to run out of jokes from keeping them bored.

I'm totally jealous!  I've never been to the Mid-West.  Mr LM has.  He drove a U-Haul from Utah to New Brunswick for a sick friend.  Had Jeckyl not chosen to be born that summer, I too could have toured Indiana!!!  
 
 Did go swimming despite the ankle.  Heckyl went to the dance (had an ok time).  Had an interesting discussion on the way home with Heckyl and two of his friends....a couple of them witnessed someone steal something and felt powerless to do anything about it at the time.  So they told me.  Great.  They want me and the other parents to tell Thief's mother (a person we all know) , but they don't want to be the "tattletales".  Great.  I really need to sleep on this one...

  That's sad Lil Me.  I guess under those circumstances, you have to accept that you most likely will affect little response from them.  As long as the 'truth teller' gets to observe that an action was taken.  The hard part is in explaining why other adults may not react with any appropriate consequences.  At least they still learn what is or isn't acceptable in their own house.

 Mr LM is wonderful.  He (over email) helped me sort out the forest from the trees.

Hey.  Hafta take Heckyl up the mountain for a Scouts activity.  Beautiful day, but no skiing for me :(
 *hobbles off into the sunset*
 
 Beer and Burger night for our Relay for Life team tonight.  It's a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society.  (the actual run isn't until June, but we're fundraising now).  Local pub owner donates the beer and burgers, so the entire $15 ticket price goes to the cause.  
 
 We're apparently going to the cemetary tomorrow.  I hadn't been to the cemetary for years, except for funerals.  But since Heckyl and Jeckyl have a morbid fascination with dead relatives, we're joining the annual family trek out there.  Might take a while!  We have over 40 stops to make there.

  I didnt like ottawa or toronto too much.. dunno if its just me or if the place really was not that inviting to me. Outside of those cities I really liked untairo.

    Good job on the date Van.. I honestly though of you last night when my buddy came out to dinner with me and Starfish at eh sharks club and proceeded to tell us about all the bad dates he had the last month. NOT that I was thinking you have bad dates or nothing.. just that he mentioned DATE and you popped up in my mind.

  Good luck LM.. I cant imagine how it would be. You will do the right thing once you see through it.

 LOL lil me on your grandmother.. I can empathize with that.

We did the relatives thing the week before on easter.. then her father called this weekend and asked if we were going.. we were a week early apparently. We also crossed a picket line.. I told the people sorry.. but respect for relatives takes precedence for me.

We had four stops ourselves.

    And on that note... Im off tomorrow. I thought I had more time here but apparently I couldnt work it out with the office and the resultant email came confirming it yesterday. So I fly tomorrow and will be back beginning of June.

Take care all.. I should be on a few times while Im away but cant tell you how often or for how long, lol.

Im off to West africa again, and will be doing a drydock this time.. thought I missed it but guess not so fun fun for me :(

Have a safe trip, amigo.

  Hey Michel, you should come to UBC. Apart from the stupid construction there are some really lovely spots around. Verrrrry pretty.

  I'm so tired of this damn cold. Is it spring yet? How come it's sooo cold? Hailed yesterday again and frost on the ground. Lovely - not.

  Got invited to the UBC dental ball. I'm not going for two reasons - it's bloody expensive (something like $85/person for a hotel that doesn't deserve to chage that much in the first place) and I'm going to Disneyland when it happens. Ack. I can't remember a time when I had to pay that much for a meal. I'll definitely go next year. It's really  nice to see the kids without their scrubs for a change.

Wow...that was rather an abrupt notice to get back to work Russ.  Look at it this way....at least where you're going it will be warm ?  Take care....safe journey....and we will look forward to hearing about the ship cuisine.

  ....and when are you off to Dizzyland Lise ?  Everybody has such exciting plans.

  So WHO is on strike at the cemeteries ?  Do they really think anybody there is going to notice they're unhappy, they're already in a far better situation than most of the people there.  They should quit wasting the time they have left on the right side of the turf.

Hi Lil Me and PC.

I never biked yesterday, I am waiting for a touch warmer weather.  Ended up taking one of my youth group dudes to look at guitars. Pretty mellow Sunday.

I'm way too excited.  

  They're going to find out sooner or later.  Either a) they make my life more miserable by not agreeing to let me go to another dept.  b) they don't let me go but make my life easier because I'm a keeper or c) is happy by my move and growth

  I'd prefer the C answer. :)

  It's kinda weird that since I mentioned work, that one person in my dept has given notice to go to a competitor and another person that is associated with our Company is looking for a better job.  Is it a sign?

  I figure.  It's time to move on.

  uhhh nanaimo's debating whether to build a dam tonight. Nanaimo wastes too much water. 13 million litres a day, and loses 4 million litres a day to leaks apparently. Home builders association scolding council for having old toilets. classic television.  

"The national average for water consumption is 320 litres per person per day," he said. "It's 600 for Nanaimo, and it grows in summer time to 1,200, which is absolutely stupid. We need to really examine what we're doing. We need to conserve water as a society, and if Nanaimo does, we wouldn't even need a new dam."- head of the home builders folks

Brian Clemens, Nanaimo's financial director, said the normal strategy for B.C. municipalities to cover the costs of growth is to transfer these costs to new developments.
"The more people that move here, the more water will be required," he said. - typical nanaimo government response. lol

  Nanaimo is the same as any city.. government decides too late. They are really starting to look into water meters for us in vancouver. I myself think its a good idea, but we probably will be among the higher water users.

 Hey missy Lil Me! Hows my fine red furred friend?

I was actually impressed this time with ScareCanada. They had enough people helping wiht problems and managed to sort them quickly. The plane I was on was modern inthe fact that each person had the latest version of the individual movie/music/games seatback computer. I flagged down the stewardess (who was actually young) and asked, was told all the planes are getting or already have these. I was impressed.

Im not too sure. I usually just give them a copy of my signed CC bill.. not the one from the hotel with all the little surcharges. My company doenst complain as long as they dont see the word 'beer' anywhere, it really helps when I stay in France or Spain.. nobody can read what they put on teh bills.

 Lets just say 'not me'.

 Clear to elaborate?

 Getting a cold could be from a number of factors.  Back home, you were probably more well-rested and less stressed.  Here, you're a student and I can imagine the stress levels and not being able to rest well.  

 Any which way, hope you get better. :)

 I never got sick back in the midwest and I've gotten 3 colds here that didn't act like colds or what I considered as a "cold". I'd get a cold back in missouri and I was still able to function, here I'm bed ridden for a few days. The colds are almost flu like, maybe its the flu. I dunno. I never got the flu back home either. I was sick the entire month of October this year, I couldn't believe it.

I know when I pulled weeds for a few hours, I was in more pain than I ever was from riding a bike. Woke up some muscles I never knew I had.

I hear ya Van.  It's been a pretty sedentary fall and winter.  I've been hauling boulders from two properties over....and that alone was a bit of a workout.  And although it seemed like the woodpecker that destroyed the retaining wall seemed to have little trouble.....tearing it out was tougher than I thought. (I should have waited another couple days and let him finish it)

Good evening everyone.

Yes, I'd like to know how your ankle is doing as well, LM?

Has anyone ever visited a chiropractor without havnig an injury of some sort?  I'll be seeing one next week because I heard that it's good to see one at least once a year.

  I have a bit of a negative response to that I'm afraid.  I think the only people who say that it's good to see a chiropractor at least once a year are chiropractors.  I had a really bad experience many years ago....a visit to the chiropractor put me on my back for 6 MONTHS.

Never NEVER again.  EVER.

  If you go purelife, please make sure he has reviewed ex-rays of your spine first !  Do NOT let him do a thing unless he has.

Oh no, that doesn't sound good at all, PC, but do you think you just went to the wrong Chiropractor?  But what's the difference of a Doctor telling his patient to see him once a year vs a Chiropractor?

  Oh !  I didn't realize your doctor recommended it.  That's almost unusual.  

  I don't know if it was the wrong chiropractor or not....I just know that I would never trust my spine to one ever again.....even if my doctor recommended it...which it think is rare.  It was a weird experience.  I had had really bad back problems since the birth of my first child....and somebody suggested a chiropractor.  When he did the first 'manipulation', I was close to nirvana.  I had back pain for so long, that I had forgotten what it felt like to be pain free. It felt GREAT !   But by the next morning, I couldn't move.  I don't mean that it was uncomfortable to move....I couldn't move...period.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 01 08 09:52
 That's another person I need to see soon...a massage therapist but I don't want to see the doctor for just a note.

Y'know, I have this extended medical through my company and I think I should make use of it.  lol

ok, here's a wee bit of an update from my "job."  well, after having told my Supervisor that I applied for xyz internal position, she told the other supervisor and the mgr and then she told my coworkers who work "under" her.  hmmm, uhm, I don't even have an interview and it's a big deal now?  

And for some odd reason, I'm feeling great about it!

purelife- I go to the chiro quite a bit (and so do Heckyl and Jeckyl).  Mr LM does not- he doesn't believe in it.
 Who are you going to see?  You can PM me.  I've got a great chiro in Port Moody, and I also know of a chiro in your area (friend of a friend).
 Totally offtopic, Nira Aurora's hubby Dr Gary Gill is a chiro in Delta.

Oops, sorry, that wasn't what I had meant.  My doctor didn't recommend anything.  I made that comment after you had said that all chrios tell people to see them once a year because they're doing their job.  So, I was wondering how it would be the same when our Doctors keep telling us they need to see us once a year.  Uhm, now I think I'm just confusing myself, come to think of it... er ...never mind. :)

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I think it's one of those things that either you have a great experience with them...or you don't.  Those who 'believe' in them, will swear by them....so I think it's a matter of personal taste.  If I ever want relief in that area, I would go to a massage therapist.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 01 08 10:09
I think another reason why I'd like to see him is that I feel that I'm walking funny.  I probably really need a good massage therapist, for my shoulders.

I'd be wary of seeing a chiropractor, purelife. My doc doesn't recommend one... in fact I don't think he sees them as real doctors. They're like dentists and denturists. Big difference.... but if your doctor recommends the chiro then I supposed it's ok.

  Crazy day yesterday. We were totally swamped as it's the start of a busy month catering to 3rd and 4th year dental students. Oh well, at least the day goes by pretty fast. I just wish some people would pull their weight and start putting in a bit of effort to help out.

Sorry.  I will tiptoe and sue my quiet voice.
 
 Just black coffee.  The Coffee Mate is a nice treat, but a bit sweet for 1st thing in the morning everyday.
 
 Going to the dentist this am.  I dislike going because I feel inadequate.  I brush and floss like a normal person (doing a pretty average job), but the hygenist makes me feel like a BAD PERSON (sorry for the shouting, Michel..) because I miss certain sections.  She scowls at me while she's scaling my teeth.  I don't feel like an important client who is paying cash, I feel like a scolded child.

Hey! What's for lunch?
 
 I was tempted by take-out but decided to be good and eat some salad and leftovers.
 
 Surprise!  I didn't get a lecture about all the spots that didn't get flossed and brushed.  I got a lecture about "over brushing" as I'm starting to quickly lose tooth enamel on one side.
 
 Has anyone tried the McRib?  I'm curious.

 Beautiful afternoon here.  It feels so good.  Was light out until about 8:00 last night.
 
 I'm walking almost normally, with very little pain.  My chiropractor is a genius.
 
 Dissected Shepherd's Pie for dinner.  (Jeckyl has an aversion to casseroles, but will eat all the composite ingredients- as long as they are not mixed up in the same baking dish!)
 
 Salad on the side.  I've been grating vegetables and tossing with lemon juice and olive oil.  Tonight's salad is zucchini, carrot and soaked bulgher wheat.

I have a feeling she likes me that's all. Her friends sure like me they think I'm the coolest guy ever, apparently. She likes to do stuff like going hiking on the weekend, we walk to church every sunday, (the senior crowd makes commments and i find it hysterical).  I'm just having fun, we all need fun in our lives.   Last couple of girls I hung around with, the most they ever did was wanting to go to Save On Foods.

  Michel - you could get the cheaper Braun ones but I find that a regular toothbrush works good too.

Do you eat save the best ones for last?  I usually reverse that and eat the best ones out of a trail mix bag and save the worst for last.

You guys are hilarious!
 
 I have the cheap Braun electric toothbrush.  It was an Xmas present about 5yrs ago.  The dentist thinks it is better for my "overbrushing" problem than a regular toothbrush- it is more gentle because there is less pressure.

I also have the same problem of overbrushing but I stopped using those thingees.  It takes up too much space. Perhaps that was why this gal took it to the plane.  

  Costco is a great idea, Michel.  They sell in bulk and they're pretty bulky.  When one runs out, you'll have a backup.

 My parents are moving out at the end of this month.  They will be putting everything in storage, as they don't get possession of the next place until May.  Fortunately, they are both able-bodied and doing their own packing.  Mom is retired and dad has this month booked off work.  I won't be able to help this week, due to my ankle...but I  certainly will be over there nxt week.

It takes time but you'll be more happy once you have more control of your belongings.  If you need us to help you move, let us know.  We'll be glad to help.  :)

  Meeting was unprofessional and the two B*tches really showed themselves to everyone.  It was noticeable of the things they were doing.  Nowadays, nothing bothers me about what they do.  I have this "let it be" attitude.  I'm just going to continue my merry way of doing my work and that's it.  

  We have two Supervisors in our dept.  The other one, that isn't mine, came up to me the other day to wish me luck on this new position that I had applied.  She even said "anything that you need help with, let me know."  My own supervisor didn't wish me anything or said anything nice at all.

Gave my bro some more driving lessons.  I'm not sure if he's ready for his test in June, so we'll have to practice some more, especially with his sharp turns.  We made a pit stop to Costco and parked waaaaayyyyy over at the other end because he's not comfortable with parking...yet... we'll have to practice that (parking) too next time. :)

Tonight's pizza was from Papa John's.  2 med Hawaiian for $20.  We eat a variety of pizza, just no cheese for Heckyl.  Sometimes frozen pizza (there's a roasted veg one w/ no cheese), "homemade" pizza on flatbread or Pillsbury crust, or take-out from Pizza Hut, Papa John's or a local place.
 
 I think my favourite pizza is Domino's with beef and hot peppers.  Sadly, I only eat this when I'm home alone, as noone else in my family likes it.  I ate this a lot during my single years.  (maybe that's why I was single....hahahahah)

Eating garlic must be a shared experience.  Then it cancels each other out.  I love garlic....and somewhere in the back of my mind, I think there is an unleashed consciousness that this is why I never get colds.  

  Pork Pot Pie and green salad with raisins and cheddar.....mmmmmm.

  I've decided I'm not buying dressings any more.  I always end up throwing out bottles that are still three quarters full.  I'm stuck on this 'instant' dressing that is totally yummy.  Couple dollops of olive oil....a splash of balsamic....a rounded teaspoon of brown sugar and a dollop of sour cream......whisk it all together.....tis the yummiest.  No left overs.

Couple dollops of olive oil....a splash of balsamic....a rounded teaspoon of brown sugar and a dollop of sour cream......whisk it all together.....tis the yummiest.  No left overs.
[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]I did'nt know you could mix sour cream with balsamic and olive oil?  I make my own dressings as well with balsamic, olive oil, sesame, etc but never thought to add sour cream.  I hope you don't mind if I try it next time. :)  Thx!

Oh, and your dinner sounds absolutely delish.

The pie and salad does sound good.  
 
 I know what you mean about the bottles of salad dressing.  Btw, maybe I've mentionned this before but Heckyl and Jeckyl only knew Paul Newman as the "salad dressing guy".  It took a lot of convincing before they believed he was anything else...

lol....Salad dressing guy.  Too cute.   I read somewhere once, that when Paul Newman started marketing his dressings, he said all profits would go to charity.  He said he had no idea it was going to grow into the business it has.  He also said that if he'd known it was going to be so profitable, he would have never taken up acting.

  It sounds like it might be a little naughty, but when I mix it up, there is usually less than a quarter cup (total ingredients)....which will toss a salad for 6.  Not bad.

I worked with a fellow who was trained in the british secret forces and he told me that you can make a diversionary bomb (not destructive - but make a loud boom) with coffee mate - the powder.   It is an oil product with a very high surface area - I've seenthe stuff burn - pretty sure it could explode under the right conditions ....

Fricken fracken.
 
 I'm drinking dinner tonight (red wine) as I'm seriously pissed off.
 Been trying to hang a curtain.
 Should be a 10minute job to hang a curtain rod, right?
 Apparently it's a 2hr job if you're mechanically dislinclined.
 
 Cordless drill ran out of juice.
 Couldn't find the charger.
 Needed to find corded drill.
 Needed to find extension cord.
 Kept forgetting that corded drill does not have keyless chuck.  "lost" the drill bit a few times.
 Found the key.
 Tightened the chuck.
 Drilled some holes.
 Apparently holes weren't big enough.
 Mashed 2 of the drywall anchors that came with the curtain rod kit (hole too small).
 Realized that I did not drill holes in the right spots.
 Started again with another 4 holes in the wall.
 Dug around for more anchors in the tool box.
 Found 2 drywall anchors (of unknown size).
 Lost one of the anchors and walked in circles looking for it.
 
 Finally hung the damn brackets.
 Could not get the anchors and screws flush with the wall, no matter what I did...but the damn thing is hanging up.
 
 And then the kicker....
 The curtain rod was 9" TOO SHORT.
 
 Damn it all to hell.
 
 Used a long bamboo stick as a curtain rod.
 Hung up the curtain.
 
 Curtain still needs to be cut and hemmed.
 Now need to fill holes in the wall and re-paint.

Yes!  It was temporary.
 Quite excited that I could clean the venetian blinds in the bathtub with dish soap.
 2 panels done, 7 to go.
 I was going to take them to a professional to have them ultrasonically cleaned (whatever that is!), but now I don't need to.
 Saved a couple hundred bucks.

 Just a quick stop-in here.  I'm hemming curtains with iron-on fusing tape (thanks for the advice, P.C.!) and it's not too bad!  I had the good sense to buy a cloth tape measure ($0.99) and some sewing scissors ($14).  I should have bought pins, but I scrounged around and found enough safety pins to do the job.

I'm not 100%, but I think it may be a Turkish or Arabic treat.  It's made with crushed sesame seeds and honey.  I usually find it in the cheese or deli section.  It's melty in your mouth....a tiny bit like sponge toffee.

 Well, I successfully hemmed all the curtains.  I'm quite surprised that nothing went "wrong".  Living room is done!  Still need to wash venetian blinds in the bedroom and still haven't decided if I'm putting curtains in the bedroom.
 
 P.C.- Do you have a method for an easy window decoration (on top of a venetian blind) for a bedroom window?  Something that requires no sewing!  I know people can make a valence out of a rod set and a big piece of colored gauze, but I have no idea how...

 I'm thinking it can't be that bad- for the rod set and some scarf material.
 I've been spending $40-$60 per window for the living room.  Cheapo polyester curtains at JYSK ($19 a panel).  The metal rod set is about $17.
 
 Damn, i've lived without curtains for the last 6yrs.  Only getting them now because I feel like I should in order to sell the place.

florida
the late night teen talk show 'loveline' has a game called 'germany or florida' the joke is all the weird news stories in the world either happen in germany or florida. lol


argh!!! I was attacked by a red telus parrot when clicking on the board! lol

edit: saw the video, I've seen worse beatings, this one is sort of tame. Typical behaviour though for the U.S. my generation is a generation of thugs. All i need to do is look at my local high school, kids were getting arrested for rape in high school (and it happened during school as well). Kids are spoiled, they live in the suburbs which are prisons, so they become bored, so they resort to violence/drugs and stupid behaviour. Classic case.

parents these days are naive if they think moving their kids to the suburbs means they'll have a better life. The suburbs are where all the drugs and violence like this takes place due to kids being isolated because of horrible planning of neighbourhoods that focus on homes and nothing else, no community involvement etc. Subdivisions that take 20 minutes to walk out of, always in need of a car, if you don't have a car, you stay home watching tv, alone, don't know your neighbours. etc.

Oh, those drapes that require no sewing is a great idea, Lil Me. I like it A LOT. We're thinking about installing curtains, maybe this year but I personally like it without curtains.

G'morn!

Hope everyone has a great Humpday!

  sports, I think some burbs may be better than other. Example, I would way rather live in Maple Ridge than Vancouver, but I would only live there if I could work their full time too. (it is like a burb in a forest!!). I understand a lot of youth need a car to get to a local 7/11 just to get a slush in the burbs. I still don't think living in suburbia is an excuse for kids to cause random violence.  

Some burbs have a great setup for kids. Some burbs have the best skate parks, sports programs, arenas, etc.

Then again, some burbs have cookie cutter houses and no sidewalks.

Heya Lil Me. I know one, but it's in Downtown.  (not sure if you head out there).  It's Babylon Cafe on Robson across from the Sears.  

  I had chicken/beef teriyaki on rice with some veggies.  It was pretty yummee considering it's from the food court. :)

Thanks!  I don't go downtown that often, but when I do...I will feast on  the falafel!

Went into our garden for the first time yesterday. Disheartened by the sight of weeds growing virtually everywhere. *sigh* Picked up dog poop (amounting in the zillions) then did the lawn. At least the garden look half decent. Have just started a herb collection, those guys are hardy and come in handy. So far I've got lemon mint, parsley, Greek oregano and marjoram growing. Next on the list is thyme and something else. I'll see what catches my fancy.

  Work today. *double sigh* Don't know if everyone would just grow up and stop gossiping. It's gonna be crazy again. Mr. Smith is causing too much attention by literally dropping in each day to see one of the girls and tongues (as usual) are wagging. I just wish he'd stay the hell outta there.

mmm... marshmellows.

Good morning all! Wasn't yesterday just plain booutiful? I can't wait till it gets a LOT warmer.

  Had a little mini meltdown at work yesterday early in the morning. Like I can't stand it when someone interupts me when I'm talking to someone else or have my sensor snatched while I'm doing something Or get 'yelled' at for giving out cavitron units just because we can't find tips for them. Oh yes, fun day. I was THIS CLOSE to saying 'f**k it all' and walking out. I'm OK with this co-worker but man, when she gets hyper, she goes ballistic. *sigh*

  Today will be crazy, I just know it.

  All students have passed their board exams and are on their way to become dentists of the future. Ye Gods, I hope some of them will mature enough to have better bed manners when it comes to treating your patients. Arrogance, anyone?

Coffee going down good this morn.  I think I shall putter in the yard today.  Wrist is still wonky....but I'm getting tired of putting off the yard work.  

  I'd sure like to know what is stomping through my garden every night the last week or so.  Giant paw prints everywhere.  It's hard to tell, but I'm wondering if they might be a cougar.  If I find another good one, I'm going to take a pic.  Any paw print experts out there ?.....lol

Hi Everyone!
 Quick stop in here for me.  Brutal day and it's not done yet.
 Mr LM and I were clearing stuff from the parents' house into our storage facility in Delta.  Damn the old hardwood furniture is heavy!  Well, we've inherited some nice pieces....grandmother's china cabinet, mother's armoire, grandmother's china, collection of old home movies (and 3 projectors from various eras required to view them), and a double bed for Heckyl.
 Going back for more tomorrow, but we aren't going to fit any more into our rented storage container.  It's time to start filling up all the nooks and crannies in the complex where we live...luckily I have master keys to the electrical room, boiler room, sprinkler room, elevator room.....
 
 Quick bowl of chicken paprikash, a boiled potato and some steamed veggies.
 Off to lacrosse practice.

first time when I was just starting my jog at westwood, then half way through after I did my 3k and hit the 'wall' (plus hey i'm out of shape don't want to sprain something) that's when I was walking at the 4k marker, they passed me again. I got up to the mountain part tried to sit down but these bees didn't want company. Therefore, I walked down, started jogging again and they then passed me a 3rd time at the parking lot, before my car.

Almost done a friend's garage siding. All the soffit, facia, J-trim, etc. and 2 walls of siding are done. After all the set up, the actual siding is easy. Music loud, couple beers, makes the job go smooth.

Getting out of the city this weekend (Thank God), going to a nice little spot in the interior for some cool trails.

Good job Van.  Prep and foundation stuff always takes the longest. (usually my downfall with projects, as I'm impatient to see the end result)

  So I'm all happy about spring and all, but along with the lovely sunshine and reawakenings of all things green and beautiful, comes the neverending offerings on my front door mat.  Both yesterday and this morning are the *gulp* remains of baby bunnies. (along with the usual various assortment of rodents) *CRY*  What to do, what to do.

[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c020.gif" border=0]

  This morning I made the yummiest smoothie EVER for brekkie.  Field berries, soft tofu, a hint-o-honey and enough milk to make the blender go round.  IT WAS DELISH.....especially considering I don't care much for tofu.  I'm happy to have found a way to get it into my diet.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Van on Apr 17 08 09:44
omg! the soffit sucks. You are supposed to wear gloves, but it is too hard to measure, cut, etc. I don't wear gloves. So, I have some nice cuts on my hands. Oh well, I heal! That hard part is done anyways. Finicky picky work. The actual siding is a breeze after all that.

  Wow! Poor bunnies!

  I could use a smoothie too. That sounds so good right now.

  So I'm gathering you're using metal siding ?  That stuff is nasty for making hamburger out of your hands.  For heaven's sake....git some gloves.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Van on Apr 17 08 09:55
Metal soffit and facia. It is all done now. It is just vinyl siding. Soft and smooth. No gloves required, lol!

broken windows and the usual insane panicing that is associated with the goofballs from st. louis, who always need to be sedated in these situations. People are probably running around like its the end of the world. mass hysterial, the usual etc. people are nuts.

when 9/11 happened, the majority of folks in my suburb thought we had been invaded and everyone was going to die, so they did what any one would do and got gas. Some smart guy figured out what was going on raised the price to around 5 bucks. The whole region went awol and within an hour there were mass line ups at gas stations, ran sacking of grocery stores etc.

Same thing happens with blizzards, people ran sack grocery stores just buying the first thing they see. No doubt in a city where the most important thing about you is where you went to high school (denotes economic class) and where people still talk about the 1904 World's Fair like it was yesterday, are talking about this earthquake like its the biggest story ever. lol

 well the joke is, that if the terrorists were ever smart, they'd attack a place in the midwest because 'middle america' is the paranoid mass of people that constantly elect people based on emotions and urges.  This would explain why cops are carrying automatic weapons at Metro-Link stations in the 'middle of nowhere' in St. Louis. midwesterners as a whole are insane. If anything ever happened terrorism wise inbetween the the coasts, the world is doomed.  Where you get your stereotypes about americans, comes from this region as a whole. Do to the electoral college these people have too much power.

For example, I went to a sports bar in the Ozarks and all the walls of the place (and it was a big place) was filled with the planes hitting the wtc buildings with pictures of bush and Osama and the phrase found everyone in the place was "never forget what they have done to us".  


Denver International airport repeats this anti-terrorism message about being on alert for suspecious people every 3 minutes. Talking about colour code levels and such. This is Denver, not NYC or O'hare where nothing like this is ever said.

Evening everyone!  We're hanging on the Island with Mr LM's parents.  Lunch at Coombs market (thanks for the tip-P.C., it was a good meal!) dinner at the SandBar Cafe on the Old Island Highway.  Visited the Wildlife Refuge Centre in Errington and the Little Qualicum Cheeseworks.  Heckyl and Jeckyl played mini golf in Parksville.

Off to Comox tomorrow.

You're at the Island already?  Wow..... that was quick.  Glad to hear that you're out having fun.

Evening PC and Lil Me.

We wanted to watch the movie but by the time we were there, the lady announced that they were all sold out.  :(  Oh well, we'll try again later on.  Instead, we're going to stay home and watch Twin Warriors...with Jet Li.

Didn't know you were on the island, Lil Me. We visited the animal sanctuary too. My kid had a blast, the other one was too young to enjoy.

  Lovely dinner with the girls. We had Saffron Thali at [A href="http://saffroncuisine.ca/"]Saffron Restaurant[/A] on Kingsway. Delicious!! I was looking forward to the buffet but they don't have buffets on Friday nites. At any rate, our meal came with a bit of butter chicken, lamb curry, raita, saffron rice, naan bread and gulab jamun. All for like $16.95. DELICIOUS!!!

  It was such a nice change to be able to enjoy good food with good friends. I'm usually wolfing down my meals and rushing. I had forgoteen what food taste like.

  Debating if I should head downtown tomorrow for the shoe sale at Army and Navy. Probably everything's been picked over already. Ah well.

How nice for you Miss Lise.  It's amazing how you get into the 'rush zone' when it comes to trying to eat a meal with little ones.  So glad you had a good time.

  Hey Lil Me.....glad that you too enjoyed your meal at the country market.  (love that place in spite of the commercialism that has crept in over the years)  Great place to buy fancy gourmet condiments and stuff....such fun.  How was the Cheeseworks?  There is a street market every Saturday in Qualicum where all the farmers and artisans bring their wares....and the cheese people are always there.....SUPER nice people and superb cheeses.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 18 08 09:14
The Cheeseworks was pretty cool.  Heckyl and Jeckyl enjoyed the barnyard with baby cows born this week, goats, bunnies, pigs, chickens...you could view the cheese factory thru the window (nothing doing in there), walk into the milking shed (nothing doing there either) and go into the shop with SAMPLES.  Bought a couple of cheeses to bring home- much cheaper than the supermarket.  Each wedge of fancy cheese was $3-$5.

You turned down poutine?  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Shocked/3.gif)   hahaha...

Mr PL brought a banana cream pie (from Costco) and found out that it's due tomorrow.  I suggeted that he invite his friend down the street to finish it.  So, we told him to come over but didn't tell him that we really want him over to finish the pie.  I bet it'll still taste good for a few more days.

I'm sure you must feel really good, SD.

  On Sunday yours truly attempted to make butter chicken. It was dead good except..... of course, when I was washing the dishes something was nagging me about the dish. I suspected I forgoteen an ingredient. Oh yes, then it hit me - BUTTER. Ahaha. Right. So I realized you can actually make BUTTER chicken without BUTTER.

  Ah well, maybe my fourth attempt will be a bit better. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/19.gif)

  Not much to report, the 4th year students are just counting down the days but a number of them are running around with panic-stricken faces. They have to complete a bunch of clinical procedures before they can graduate and until they get them done, they won't even if they've done their board and school exams. It's interesting to hear that most of them will leave for the states to futher their studies or go elsewhere to start their practise. BC is too saturated with dentists.

  That's funny Lise.  I thought you were going to say you had forgotten the chicken.

  I remember making a pork pot pie once, and everyone was commenting on how yummy the pie was.  Not until I ran to get something from the fridge, did I notice the bowl of cubed up pork sitting there waiting to be added to the pie with it's name on it.  So now I've learned two new recipes, Butterless Butter Chicken and Porkless Pork Pot Pie.

He is a naughty boy.  Lil Me brought him a Cat-bib.  It's hilarious....I'd never heard of them before....but they are an anti-hunting bib.  You have to get them accustomed to a collar first...which he is not being receptive to at all.  Then you attach the bib and it screws up their hunting style.

There was a second option - the 500 lb lead weight that is attached to the tail ... unfortunately it only came in lead grey - no designer colors

Hey Everyone!!

Got spontaneous as usual, drove to Tofino. I must say the place is great, wasn't expecting to be befriended by hippies in Tofino, seeing the town mostly of folks my age and talking to a bunch of Quebecers. Awesome place and day! One thing I don't understand is why everyone on here is concerned about commercialism. Tofino is NOT commercialized. It looks and feels like Cape Cod. If you want to see commercialism, see what happened to Maine. Another thing, I don't see how Tofino could over commercialize itself, the highway past Port Alberni is A) the wildest highway ever B) the most dangerous C) a piece of crap pavement wise.

great day, Tofino is still a gem that nobody knows about because of location.

Top of the morning all! The lunch thread has caught the speedy express. Moves too fast!

  Tofino sure is pretty, SD. I like it very much for its quaintness and friendly folks. I like to stay there for a day or two then I get pretty bored. I'm more of a city person but for kids and pets, it's paradise. We will definitely go back there again for a visit.

  Funny thing about yesterday, I was the ONLY one scheduled to work with my supervisor. I don't know why I was paired up with her or why she decided to come down to work with us since we don't really need the extra pair of hands. She did asked me where each co-worker was.... I think she's keeping an eye on everyone. Anyways, as much as I like her, I hope that I won't be working with her again. It's just too weird.

  BBQ-ed last night. Delicious! (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Other/18.gif)

G'morn!

sports, I think people are worried about it becoming commercial. Believe me, with enough interest and money, it will become very commercial. That is a worry for sure. Highways can be upgraded to cater to pre-packaged tacky tourists. Golf courses are built, Hotels planned, etc. God, nobody wants it to become "Whistler-ized", except people who have money interests.

  I don't get bored there or anywhere along that part of the world. Tofino is an easy trip to the ski hill too. I get bored in the city. Born and raised in a city too...you can have it!

  Mmmmmmm COFFEE!!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Good morning....*sip*

  Me too Van......born in the city....can't imagine living in one again.  Tofino is lovely.  They're very clever to have marketed themselves to utilize the stormy winter months.  Accomodations are pricey during the winter months for 'storm watching'....and it's amazing how far ahead you have to book to actually get a room or cabin.  Very clever.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Van on Apr 23 08 07:30
I have been there during a storm season. I was surfer watching. Seen some surfers that were amazing. I tried surfing before in Mexico and I sucked at it. Snowboarding is much more relaxing, ha!

  I don't know if I would live right in Tofino. I would just live in a shack a few Km. away ;) remember that pic I posted....lol!

  There are a lot of good things about the city, but I think I could enjoy a city just as much if I just visited it once in awhile.

  Living where there is a ski hill within 10 minutes, a bike trail out my front door to a mountain top, and a beautiful lake at the back door....I got a rush just thinking about that!

     I did some surfing when I was young and picked it up instantly...although some say it's tricky.  

  I like the idea of being close to a city as well Van....but not in it.  You can take advantage of all the city has to offer...yet still at the end of the day, find peace at your home.  I think that's why I'm so content here....it's not unlike the type of places I used to like to go camping.  (not as wild perhaps...but close enough to give the feel)

  It's nice that you can fish on the lake in the morning, swim in ocean at noon, and head for mountains all in the same day.

I love the Kootenays so much. I can find a lot of spots hidden from society. East and West Kootenays. The East Kootenays are amazing. Although the towns are a touch more redneck than say Nelson...(Cranbrook...omg...what happened there??!!)...but the area is so sweet.

 I'm assuming they went the Van Isle route because of regional distinction. People know where Vancouver Island is for example. My friends in Van all thought my friend and I went to UVic. Then there's the MacLean's factor. VIU has full page ads all the time in that mag.

Oh, that reminds me, have you seen The Life of David Gale?  EXCELLENT movie and it sounds like you're into that kind of movies. :)

so "I'm going to consult my books" aka read before i go to bed in an hour or so. lol

stalin is gone, but he left his boat which means he's more rasputin then Stalin. He cleaned out his place though. So that's good. lol

trying to pack everything up, so busy this weekend, I've got 3 parties, 1 whole day birthday party (goes on the whole day) then Earth day festival on saturday. Then on Sunday I'm driving to Port Hardy to drop off my roommate. All during this time I've got to move in to another place. lol

Everytime our practice is over, I'm more happy to know that I'm dry.  Our boat can get so tippy at times that I feel that we're going to flip.  I don't want hyperthermia.  Other than that, it's a TON of fun and great exercise.

 Night Lise.

Hey!  What a difficult night it's been here.
MrLM is scheduled to fly to Asia late tonight.
He's packed a bag with his clothes, equipment for a secrets ops mission.
Meanwhile....He's doing a favour for a friend.
The friend wants a big @$$ stainless steel BBQ.
It probably weighs 200lbs.
He unpacked it tonight in an attempt to save excess freight by stripping off non-essential parts.
A lot of cursing and yelling while weighing composite parts on the bathroom scale.
He finally gave up and is shipping it whole.
It's probably going to cost $1000 to ship a $700 Crappy Tire BBQ to SE Asia.
The damn thing is MADE IN ASIA (but you can't buy one there...)
MrLM's friend is willing to pay whatever it costs to buy a BBQ, so wtf?

I've ordered him an oversize taxi for midnight tonight.

well people are leaving left and right over here as well. Stalin left, he's off to Canmore where his job is being a ranger or something riding on horseback looking for people breaking the law. whatever. So I've been cleaning while Port Hardy has invaded the dorm. ugh Nobody cleans but me, go figure.  At least I get the place to myself for a few days (everybody has to be gone by saturday except me, I don't switch rooms until the 2nd at the latest).

last of the hamburger helper, now I'm just down to pasta/mushrooms/rice and cheerios.

I understand that the propane bottles are commonplace there.  They are used for regular cooking stoves.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 24 08 09:49
Oh pheww !  I was wondering.  I thought it would be some kind of nasty to go through all this, only to find he can't fill a tank.  (I'm obviously not very knowledgable about these things...lol)

It's kind of weird, but MrLM reports that they cook with propane stoves INDOORS and don't die of carbonmonoxide poisioning because the houses are really draughty.

Morning.  *Yawns*
 
 I was asleep on the couch when Mr LM's taxi arrived at midnight.
 I jumped up to help him to the curb (1 large duffle bag, 1 large packpack, laptop case, camera case and... a HUGE BBQ box on a dolly.)
 He got in the taxi with the stuff.
 I was left standing on the curb, dazed and confused with a dolly and no house keys.
 In jeans and a t-shirt.
 Stood around dazed and confused until a neighbour drove home, and high-tailed it into the underground parking after her car.
 Asked her very politely if she would open the door to the elevator lobby for me, seeing as I was wheeling a dolly.
 She said, "How do I know who you are?"
 I sighed, and replied that I was Lil Me, the Strata Council Preseident who lives in unit XYZ of the complex.
 I was carrying a big ring of keys that has access to every service room in the complex, but not the front door...apparently.
 
 So...coffee for breakfast.

  Is this lots of shredding or do you visit the Recycle Depot?  

When I moved, I found the Recycle Depot very handy for us because we could get rid of all our corrugated boxes and old computers.  :)

Just paper, glass, tin cans etc. to be organized. I have a storage room that is up to the ceiling. Procrastination.

I never paid a fee. But they try to take down personal information so they can bug you later. Not all places do that though. I would call first to make sure there are no fees.

When I dropped off my old stereo at a recycling place, nobody was around to help, so I left it on the floor, and walked out. lol!

Hey Michel,

  Where I went (City of New Westminster - Recycling Depot) it was free.  Check out City of Vancouver's garbage website.  There was a list of items you could take including fridges, telephones, etc.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 25 08 10:03
Found this for you:

  Drop off large loads of flattened cardboard at Vancouver's [A href="http://vancouver.ca/engsvcs/solidwaste/transfer/index.htm"]main recycling depot[/A] at 377 West Kent Avenue North. This depot also accepts small and large metal appliances, along with other types of materials. Drop off at the depot is no charge. For more information, call 604-326-4600.

I heard that in Alberta/Calgary, they don't have a recyling program like we do.  They don't have a seperate collector to grab their recyclables.  Anybody know if this is true?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Van on Apr 25 08 10:12
I think Calgary it is privatized, soon to become implemented and mandatory by the city. I seen on the news, Calgary is behind the times, but catching up.

Turner Valley Alberta is banning all plastic bags and styrofoam. First place in Canada to do so.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 25 08 10:17
Ah, so it is true.  A friend was telling me that two years ago, when she visited Calgary, they didn't see an extensive recylcing program like we have here.  Her friend would have to save all her recylables and go to various depots just to drop them off.  And these depots were hard to get to.  What a hassle.  It's interesting though.

 Crikey, it's always a gong show- too many people who can't decide what they want to eat/drink, change their orders a few times, don't recognize their own food when it arrives...
 
 But it was a good meal.
 Curried carrot soup, green salad and some shared appies, and a pint of cider.

Do you forget what you ordered?
 
 Btw, Jeckyl had the word "le poison" on his dictee this week.  We made lots of jokes about being careful when ordering in a restaurant- make sure you say "le poisson" not "le poison"...

Curried carrot soup?  That sounds interesting.  Does it taste exactly as it sounds?      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 25 08 02:08
Yup.  It was a good soup.
 I used to make a curried carrot soup at home- but haven't for ages.
 It's good.
 Saute carrots, onions- add broth (chicken or veg out of a carton) and spices.
 Cook.
 Mash it up a bit, or blenderize it.

[/DIV] Two things here.

  I don't know why, but whenever I see 'shittake' mushrooms written anywhere, I always read it as 'shitcakes'.  Needless to say, I have never nurtured a desire to incorporate them into my recipes.

  And the other thing....I always consider my car to be a giant 'purse on wheels'.

I don't think he cares if porn is fast or slow as long as it's porn. Speaking for myself, porn isn't porn if it doesn't involve a goat. And a donkey.

  It was soooo lovely today, we decided to go out and walk around the libary. Ran around and just hung out in the sun. Lunch at Saffron again, the lunch buffet was excellent - except for the butter chicken. I can safely say that I make better butter chicken at home. *snicker*

  Roast chicken for dinner tonight, leftover probably for lunch. Chinese cabbage wraps for dinner tomorrow night. I'm all set for a nice relaxing day.

Heya Ms. PC, lovely to see you.

  It's a really easy dish. You'll need garlic, onions (chopped), water chestnuts (chopped) , baby corn (chopped)and minced chicken or turkey. Stir-fry everything together, add in pepper &amp; salt and a bit of soy sauce. Dish up and put on a platter. You tear lettuce leaves off the lettuce head so you get a nice 'boat'. Put a bit of hoisin sauce on it then a bit of the mixture, roll it up so you get a parcel then eat.

  My hubby loves this dish and it's so easy to make. I'm going to add another touch which is to deep fry some noodles so you can eat it with a bit of crunch.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Hi Lise....nice to see you too !

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Apr 26 08 09:07
Oops. Sorry got distracted.

  Just normal lettuce, no cabbage. I had something similar in a Chinese restaurant and this dish is usually served as an appetizer. Yum.... getting hungry right now.

 Morning everyone!
 *hugs coffee pot*
 
 Raining today and *yawns* I'm still tired.
 It was a brutal weekend and I stayed up past midnight fighting with my broken closet doors (closet doors won).
 Linen closet needs new sliding hardware (pivot post and sliding spring).
 Bedroom closet (fricken fracken heavy mirrored doors) also needs new hardware (top and bottom pivot with roller), though this closet is a slight bit better now than it was.  Unfortunately I dented the wall in 2 places and scratched the floor while messing around with the doors.
 
 I also mashed my hand and most of my fingers, but those will heal.

Yesterday was a busy day. Took some of my youth group out for a pizza lunch. Later in the afternoon I went for a bike ride with a buddy and his little cousin. His cousin is 18 years old and basically an energizer bunny. I thought I was in good bike riding shape...nice to have someone I can try and keep up with.

Hey P.C.!  I'm here!
 
 BRUTAL day.  Went to Home Depot (need I say more....?) for closet door bits.  Fought with the closet doors for hours.  I sweated, yelled, grunted and injured myself over and over again.
 
 Now the linen closet is fixed and the bedroom closet is about 85%.
 
 Re-painted the walls that I banged up, cleaned up in a hurry and got out because more potential buyers were touring the place this afternoon.
 
 Accidently discovered that WD40 makes a nice floor polish (wiping up the overspray).  lol
 
 My big HEE HAW for the day was accidently spraying Windex instead of Febreeze on the living room couch.  Like I said, I was in a big frickin hurry.

the drive to Tofino and Victoria was more dangerous. Port Hardy drive was an easy grade throughout. Just drove 120-130kph, didn't think it was dangerous, road is too flat. Then when you get to the 4 lane I put it on cruise at 130.

I had the same feeling on Friday but it went away, the weekend was fine then today the same nauseating feeling. Like I'm floating but not quite. Hard to explain. They tested my blood pressure at work... it was really low.

  I gotta get some blood work done. I'm borderline anemic and I'm a tad scared by the whole thing. *sigh* Anyways, I'm sure it's nothing serious but I gotta make that appointment with the doc.

Good morning everyone.  *yawn*

  Lise - I have the same thing as you.  I have low blood pressure  (I almost typed in low "bread" pressure...).  It's a scary feeling when you get up and feel like fainting..

  This weekend, I felt nauseating and more tired.  So, I ended up having some red meat (meatballs) and leafy veggies like kale and I think that helped a bit.  And, I also took yesterday off as a care day.  I slept until 1pm.  

  I hope everyone is having a good day.

Thanks purelife. B-Day is actually this weekend. So I will hold off as long as I can. What a dream!? Jeez!  That is bent!

  Oh yes, there are clearcuts throughout the Best Place on Earth. They are technically not clearcuts in the West Kootenays. They basically level a designated area of any trees. Replant new trees like corn in weakened soil. A few generations, it will start looking ok. The interior, the regrowth of trees is a slow process compared to the coast. Soil is not the same, and not near as much water.

  The West Kootenays are pretty lush mind you. They do a decent job of keeping the cuts away from the view of the tourist infested highways.

What is maple salmon, purelife ?  I'm guessing it's prepared with maple syrup somehow ????
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 29 08 02:29
Yep yep.

  I marinate my salmon in maple syrup (not the cheap stuff like Aunt Jemima's), some orange juice, lemon zest, whatever fresh herbs I have and whatever spices (dill, bayleaf, salt, pepper, etc) and then bake in tin foil...

  VERY YUMMY!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Van on Apr 29 08 02:41
Sounds good. I never had salmon like that.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 29 08 02:44
I usually like my salmon with nothing more that a little light baste of butter and garlic (and maybe a hint of dill) on the bar-b.  Same with scallops, prawns, shrimp....the plainer the better.  And I loathe lemon on my seafood.

  BUT....that does sound rather yummy.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Apr 29 08 02:48
You could always take out the lemon and just add orange juice with the maple syrup marinade.  I saw the recipe in a mag once and thought that I ought to try a maple glazed salmon.  It came out wonderful. :)  I wanted to try something different other than the butter thing too. :)

I love salmon everyway you cook 'em. Salmon sashimi is probably my weakness followed by smoked salmon. Yummy.

  OK. Back early from work. Dizzy again. This time I had to stop work and go to the doctor. It's no denying, something's wrong. My friends all thought the same thing, "Lise, you're pregnant!" Uhm. NO.

Good evening everyone.  When I was rowing, I kept scraping my right hand knuckles to the point where they were badly bleeding.  And my stupid bandaid kept falling off.  My two hands were soaked in blood and the only thing that worked was the water and me sucking the blood.  My hands are freeeeezing and numb right now...not fun

Yes....these are the Costco oranges.  SOOO sweet and juicy and tender.  Can't get enough.

I don't think I've ever had produce from Costco that isn't of really good quality.  So much of the supermarket stuff is flawless and beautiful to look at, but often bland, dry or tasteless....or all 3.

  I really don't have a problem paying a little extra for that kind of goodness.  It's way cheaper in the long run than spending anything on crappy fruit that ends up in the compost. No bargain there.

 haha very funny.
No its more of a social event, tell stories about May Day, or as the facebook description says: Potluck social gathering for all people who believe a better world is possible.

This event is going to be a good time but it serves an important purpose: to revive the tradition of May Day and to recognize the importance of the labour movement in the struggle for a just and equitable world. Then somebody is playing Peter Seeger songs.

I'll just show up, listen to stories, talk to dudes in suits, get my picture taken a few times. I'm not the best at these, the usual suspects will show up, crack jokes at me for being an American. A couple of people I am associated with always want to talk to me about how the states are ruining everyone's lives, it gets rather boring after a while and sad. lol

I stay clear of the whole SPP stuff, I'm more interested in provincial/local/neighbourhood stuff. Federal/International issues bore me. For example my friends are going to try to get permission to open up a community garden in South Nanaimo. I doubt the mayor and council will like the idea, but who knows. Your not going to solve world hunger by going to a rally in a town on an island for example. I don't get along too well with the guys doing this potluck. They're goofy. Revolution now crap. The girls have their own group and go to Paraguay each summer building homes for aborginals. Anyway my group is pretty much why the mayor is still in power. The people who vote are all split up into factions and are all bullheaded to the idea of uniting.

Not really my crowd, but I've got to show.

My cousin and I got a good laugh over the phone with me drinking Budweiser.

Stupid buggers weren't even afraid of you or maybe it's cause the weather so hot they don't bother running away. I was at the bus stop one time reading my book then this incredible BIG ASS lizard appeared beside me. You can imagine how loud I was screaming.

Oddly enuf that was on the dinner menu ... or at least that's what i think it was - sometimes dog guts and waterbuffalo veins kinda look alike.  As you might guess it's impolite to ask.  I abstained using high cholstorl as an excuse.  Apparently both are high in fat.

Swim?  That sounds relaxing.  

  I've got to teach my brother how to drive.  It's my Friday night ritual until his test in June. :)  Along the drive, we sometimes make a trip to Costco....to uhm, practice parking.  ;)  

  This weekend, we're thinking about checking out an auction.  It's a police aution and they are selling tons and tons of bikes and other goodies for cheap.  (hopefully)

  Has anyone been to an auction?  How does it work?

OOOOo an auction !  I like auctions, although I have never been to a police auction.  I suspect they're all somewhat the same.  Two recommendations....definitely go to the pre-viewing  (they will have a list of all items...so you can make notes on it...condition etc)....and also, find out what their policy is for payment.  For some you must wait out the duration of the auction before you can pay and leave.

They're a lot of fun purelife....have a great time.

The market has definately slowed down....to a "regular" pace.  Last spring, this place would have sold in a weekend- for more than the list price.
 
 Believe me, I'm not complaining.  I'm happy with the amount of exposure this place is getting.  It'll sell..at the right time.

Well in typical SD fashion, I keep saying I'm going to clean the place (I have to do everything now, the last roommate ditched me), but I always leave it go.
I've got until Monday to have that place spotless. Should only take a day, but its frustrating that I have to do the whole dorm when nobody else lifted a finger. I guess I'll take the coffee machine that one of the roommates just left behind. I don't know what I'll do with it though.

April 25th...I've got to pack and clean an entire dorm since the other roommate looks like he won't do anything

April 25th...Have to be out of this place by 11am tomorrow

April 25th... packing like crazy, got the whole place to myself,

April 26th....well I have to finish packing, then go to this event

April 26th...okay, well I've got to get a move on now. .... everyone was suppose to be out by 11am, yet I get to stay around and my roommates haven't started cleaning or packing yet.

April 30th...I wish I could outside, but I've got to do cleaning all day.

April 30th...I still haven't had any food today....... I've still got to clean the dorm,

May 1st....Busy day, still have to finish cleaing the other place. ugh...
May 2nd...I keep saying I'm going to clean the place (I have to do everything now, the last roommate ditched me), but I always leave it go.
I've got until Monday to have that place spotless. [FONT color=#ff0000]Should only take a day[/FONT], but its frustrating that I have to do the whole dorm

  omg....I'm way beyond a chuckle now.  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/TMB/BluebirdNut/Emoticons/Positive/rofl2.gif)

For one pic on a photo bank, any photographer have a few dozen, hundreds or thousands of the same animal on his/her hardrive. Now unless the komodo from seattle zoo are doing circus tricks and you happened to be there during their show, theres nothing you can not find from a professional for free (after asking permission to use the picture for educative purpose of course). And voilà, you get your picture, the only thing the publisher have to do is to published the name of the person with a copyright or named that person or his/her company in the photo credits.

And there are also pictures that are in the public domain, altough less interesting cos it's usually very old or bad amateur pics.

Actually since the "scientific" publisher obviously don't care about the authenticity of the environnement pic, she could even have asked to any photographer from Seattle area or even some tourists who went there and that have pic on Istock, she would have got her captive komodo pic faster.

Professional photographers loves it, it's free publicity for them and usually they proposed some of their best picture.


It was just dumb luck on my part ... I only sold a few shots, but it was really quite fun and it got me out on the weekends.  Mostly it was a time issue for this lady ... she wanted exactly the shot she wanted and would rather have the client pay for it than her spend the time / effort to find something in public domain etc... partly it was because her daughter was my contact and the daughter was starting a photo procurement businerss so by using the daughter (me) the mom was able to help the daughter (I'm confused I trust you are too)

I've had a falling out with my contact - long and weird story but I'm persona nongrata - otherwise I'd still be doing it.

  Geez, nothing worst than getting sick. Here's a bowl of chicken soup for you.

  Speaking of puking, you should see me this morning. I wanted something from my emergency earthquake box so I open it up. It was flooded!!! Mould upon mould. DISGUSTING. I guess I had put in two bottles of water. Stupid things leaked and as a result everything got ruined. Luckily I had bagged some stuff into zip-locked bags so I didn't have to throw away everything. But boy, my morning was ruined.

  Note to self: Don't put water in earthquake container. GRRRR!

SD....was at the market today (Old Country Market)...and they have about at least a dozen varieties of herring. Thought you might like to know where you can sate your cravings.

  I was quite surprised at the prices of some of the goodies there.  Gone are the days of picking up unique imported goodies and spices and special foods for reasonable...(even cheap) prices.  There were Barefoot Contessa mixes there.....$14.99 A BOX !

  Some of the unique stuff I saw there today.

Spotted Dick....who knew?  I remember Gophie talking about this once....lol

There was a hot bar-b-q sauce there called Colon Cleaner. (umm...yum?)

j-avanese Comet's Tail -a yummy pepper...sort of ($16.99 for a wee box).

  So much neat stuff...yet all I came home with are some bedding plants, some smoked paprika and a new sling-shot.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

 Good Evening,
Well I've got 65% of the place done. I deserve a medal. Guys are going to get a bunch of money back (deposit) because I did all the cleaning for them. I had Chinese at this place everyone says is the best in town. Drove down by the million dollar homes of Nanaimo.

The idea of a guy wrestling Korpan the walrus is gaining some steam, it's still front page news in the paper.

Spotted dick..... now that's a phrase I haven't heard in ages.

  About the disaster kit - ja, Michel, luckily I opened it before the disaster happened. Wouldn't have helped if we were hit by an earthquake then a great big stinker. Washed the container this morning with detergent and bleach. Yuck. Now I have to start all over again. I'm bagging EVERYTHING this time and not putting water containers in. Well.... maybe the small bottles but I'm bagging them as well.

  Panicking about packing. Don't know what to packed. Crap. I wanted to go to the UBC Village games today but can't..... well, maybe. If I get my act together, then maybe.

 Well yesterday I spent the day cleaning the bathroom (scrubbing everything mopping the floor), washing all the dishes and taking everything out of the fridge that had expired 2 months ago at least. Then my roommate thought it was cool to dump all the coffee into the sink, there by clogging it.
Today I've got to wash some more containers, bring stuff to the new dorm, throw away these boxes, clean the cabinets, sinks, stove, oven, fridge, freezer mop the floor in the kitchen.  Toss more stuff away that my roommates left behind.

Seriously. All these guys did was pack their stuff in from their rooms and left everything else. One guy left his expensive cookware and coffee maker.

I opted to not take my 2nd black stripe test last week.  I'd missed a lot of training due to my ankle injury, so I didn't feel prepared- my 2nd black stripe test will be in June/July...so the earliest I could take my black belt test would be Aug/Sept...this will depend on how many other candidates there are.  There is a lot of extra blackbelt traning required (including the tournament rules and refereeing in Korean), so the Master will probably wait until there are enough candidates to run the additional sessions.
 
 I'm in no hurry.  I'm just glad to be back in training...ankle is not 100% and I can't run.

    They're responsible for their room, bathroom and part of the commons area.
They did their rooms (except for Port Hardy, he didn't even vacuum his room junk is everywhere). Stalin left before everyone, he left his expensive stuff in the kitchen, just packed everything way from his room and left. Oblvious had his mother come over and she cleaned his dishes and his room and bathroom for him. Still nobody did the common area (living room + plus kitchen). Nobody took their food out and threw it away.  If I don't do it, nobody will get any money back including myself.
Best I can do is clean it, then write a note and talk to the admin saying how Port Hardy, Oblvious and Stalin did absolutely nothing.

Oblvious said he wanted to keep all the cans around from first semester so he could take it to the recycling and get money from it. Sure whatever. He never took it out until I had enough of the smell about a month ago. Oblivious also kept stuff from September in fridge. I had to dump all of that stuff out and clean it.

Port Hardy never cleaned all year, I never saw him actually 'clean'.
Oblivious only cleaned in the first semester when he wanted to have a party. Second he'd leave dishes in the sink for weeks.
Stalin only cared about himself.

  My day was...lacrosse (Jeckyl- 1 goal, Heckyl 1 shot on goal...this is a big deal for us....Heckyl is completely non-athletic and Jeckyl has ability but doesn't usually try...) getting kids to do homework and music practice, and a trek into the city to visit my parents in their new condo-- they haven't moved in yet, but they have possession.
 
  Then just before Heckyl and Jeckyl went to bed, I sorta went off the deep end nagging about lost library books and a badly written test that I found in Heckyl's backpack.  Heckyl was in tears, so I went back to talk to him.  I told him that I realize it's impossible to do everything 100%, but let's get organized, show some responsibility and figure out what we need to do.  He's a really smart kid, so he'll do well if he puts in even an ounce of effort.

Faire? what's that? Well at least he cares, I know someone very well who wouldn't turn in his homework in high school and middle school because he thought it was pointless and the teachers knew nothing. Then he'd get an A on the tests but a C+ for the semester and wonder why...

My friend spent the day in Van showing around another friend how to get to SFU for her ESL final level 5 (the highest you can go)exam. I'd probably fail it if I took it. lol

G'morn!

Beautiful weekend for me. Kootenays were amazing! Didn't spend a ton of time looking at property. Just didn't have much time to do much but BBQ and see friends. B-day party was kind of crazy. Most boozes I had in a looong time.

  What I did see for property though was awesome. I am going back this weekend again to look a little more seriously.

  Yes! 2 weekends out of the city in a row...I smell summer..it is coming...

Good morning everyone.

  It sounds like you had a great weekend, Van.  It's so nice to reconnect with friends..

  Just curious, LM - what made you guys decide to put Heckyl and Jeckyl in the French Emmersion program?

  Mr PL's cold grew worse.  He had to take a day off today.... poor guy.... I wish that I could take care of him.. :(  

  I hope you get better sleep tonight, Lise.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on May 05 08 09:06
Morning purelife!  Hope the Mr gets well soon.  Honestly, Heckyl first went into French Immersion because it was the best of the school options available to him at the time.  Before the school cross-boundary thing was opened up, Heckyl would have gone to the "designated Inner City School" (very high populations of disabled students, ESL, lots of social and behaviour issues in every class) across the street, unless we put him into French at a different school.

  And off you go...bye LM!  Have a great day.

  Got a question for anyone:

  What thread count is enough for your bed sheets?  We need new bed sheets.  The ones that MrPL's mom gave to us two years ago now has holes because of the washing over and over again.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 05 08 10:05
purelife, I wouldn't put too much stock in thread count.  I have regular ol sheets that are years and years old, with little or no sign of wear.  I have two new sets of 750 thread count...one set didn't even last out the year, and the other set is destined for cleaning rags very soon.  And from the start, they always looked like an old Kleenex that went through the wash.

  Egyptian Cotton are the finest...extremely pricey, but feel like heaven, look great and last and last.  Almost worth the splurge.

  The best sheets I've owned by far EVER, and I will now never buy anything else, are the Life Comfort Health Sheets from Costco.  THE BEST !!!!

oops, sorry Michel.  I just failed grade 2 french.. :(

  That's very helpful PC.  I wasn't sure if 400tc was better than 300.  These bed sheets seem to be quite expensive.  Does $60 for Queen sound about right?  It's been a while since I've shopped but will check Costco!  I don't remember seeing that brand cuz there's this Kirkland brand...
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on May 05 08 10:21
another question for you PC, if you don't mind..

  Do you care if the sheets are 100% cotton or a mixture of cotton and polyester?  I just heard that 100% cotton sheets are better (more breathable) than a mixutre of cotton and polyester.  Any insight?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 05 08 10:23
I think the sheets I am referring to are only available in store in the fall, for some reason....although you can get them at Cosco online any time.  They were cheaper in store at $37 for queen (which in retrospect, had to have been a pricing error....WAY to inexpensive for ANY sheets.  Plus on line, they are $57...which is still super reasonable).  

  If you don't get those sheets from Costco, check out HomeSense or Winners.  Their prices are usually pretty good for good quality sheets.  

  (Consumer Reports also says thread count has little to do with quality.)    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on May 05 08 10:27
If you had asked me that before I got the Comfort sheets, I would have said stick to cotton.  These sheets are 100% micro-polyester....like a baby fleece.  So....if you put those aside, I would probably still say, stick to cotton.

 I'm your typical kid from B.C. (non-French Immersion) who takes 12yrs of French, but can't speak it worth a damn.  But can I ever write tests!  I can conjugate verbs and make all my adjectives agree with the subjects.

Interesting, Michel.
 
 A lot of today's younger French teachers (and probably the sign translators...) are Anglophones who grew up in B.C. and took French Immersion at school in the '70s and '80s.  They speak French better than the rest of us, but that doesn't mean they are fluent.
 
 The older teachers in the schools are from Quebec.

I got the Hamilton Collection 320 thread count instead.  They had the color that I had wanted...

  The Life Comfort sheets didn't have the color that would match our place....:(

  I'm going to keep looking though.  The polyester content is only 40%, so that wasn't too bad.  I notice that every Costco has different colored sheets available.

  Tried packing a bit yesterday. Bloody diapers took nearly half the bloody suitcase. Maybe my little one won't go potty for the entire trip........

  Last week for the dental students. It's so sad and exciting at the same time to see my babies fly the nest. Bittersweet. I can't believe I'm having this type of emotion when I go to work. It's so weird. These kids are going out into the bad, bad world of reality and who knows what will happen. Who will take care of them?

A cat slipped by my guard ten minutes ago, calmly walked in through an open door and daintily proceeded upstairs where she has taken up occupancy of a bed (without introducing herself, I might add).

What have you done?
I had sex with a cat.
Oh my ... says the confused priest.  I really don't know what i should hand out as a pennance come back next week and I'll pray about it.
So the priest goes home and sees his cat laying on the bed (much like gopher right now)  and the old prist hasn't seen choir boys for WEEKS due to the organist being sick - so he's a little amorous.  and well one thing lead to another and before you knew it he was PETTING the cat - if you know what i mean.

Soooo next week rolls around and the priest is in the confessional booth and the same guy comes around
"forgive me father for i have sinned - i came last week to tell you about my cat.
Ahhhhh the father says - so tell me my son how exactly did you do this horrible thing?  
Well father - i took the cat and stuffed him into a tall rubber boot and once i was sure all his sharp claws were out of the way - i proceeded to have intercourse with the cat.

Ahhhhh then your penance is to do it again without the boot.

So it was in in Cantonese?
Your GF is pro - chinese gov't?
Or she just felt ripped off that she paid money to be preached to?

We didn't pay, she speaks Mandarine and her dialect, she's from Mainland China and she don't believe in any God.

Ahhh you slipped over the fence?  Excellent.
What part is she from?  How is her english?  Just curious I know some people who need translators from time to time (Mandarin - English).
So the presentation was more about the faith than just anti chinese gov't stuff ??

Anyway saw Ironman I thought it was great. It's the adult version of Spiderman, which is great. Tired of awkward teenagers pondering what to do with this mutation ability they've aquired.

Believe me after you've been to places like Mongolia, China, Vietnam parts of Africa you REALLY don't mind paying your taxes soooooo much.  To be able to go to a policeman and have him help you and not extort you - to be able to go to the doctor and he/she gives you reasonable care with reasonable equipment, having water in the taps that you can drink etc... not een talking about the social net ... tommorow you get hurt at work - you fill out a couple hunndred forms and you still get a reasonable sum of money that you can live on ... etc... don't even get me started on freedom of expression - being able to view the entire www, freedom of the press...

I'm not sure about Michel's view on this but sometimes i think that we as tax payers should pay for each separatist to visit africa or vietnam or ... and then they would realize that canada is a pretty damn fine place to be associated with.

  Well said Van Guy.  I think we're pretty spoiled here, and we don't even have the good sense to enjoy being spoiled.  We seem to be becoming a nation of nit-pickers and complainers....as if that's what having 'a voice' is all about.

Perfect analogy.....the sweet spot indeed.

  Well this morning it truly is like the nectar of the Gods, and I'm enjoying every sip.  Then I think I will vacate the premises.  My wrist is still wonky, but if I stay here, I WILL go work in the yard, and it's just not giving it any chance to get better.  (whatever 'it' is)  The scary part is, that my other wrist is feeling 'twingey'....and I don't even want to think about what to do if they both go out.  Perhaps I will require a hand maiden.

Black Bears have it easy. lol Saw them sitting on the side of the road around Port Hardy just chomping away, not really worried about anything.

Well, so much for trying to go back to Hungary (at least the village). It's still not safe for me because of my ethnicity and the people, basically everyone would know who I am and that means trouble. That's not stopping me though.

What makes it unsafe and why would everyone in Hungary know you ?  That sounds kinda odd.

First I'd be doing this alone, I'd need somebody go to with me to diffuse anything that could happen...

Long story, complicated story, sad story.
Short of the matter I'm hated because I'm German. I'm lower on the food chain then the Roma people. We lived in towns that were all German and since we were seen as the people who caused all the Hungarians there problems. They forceably evicted us from our homes, put us on trucks and sent us off and were never heard of again.

I have to wait a few years for the people to die out. The people who are living in my family's home, would recognize my name in an instant and since they kicked us out at gun point...

Get it? I go, I go alone. I get beaten up by the older generation.

Budapest or the big cities are perfectly fine, but going into a village of 500 people is asking for trouble, still 65 years later.
Danube Swabians didn't get the right to vote until the 80s, weren't considered citizens until the 80s and only a couple years ago did the government declare that we were a recongnized minority group and will protect our culture.


fun eh?

Post by: Sportsdude on May 07 08 11:13
My last name hasn't changed. My last name is all over that village, the people who moved into the houses remember names. etc.

Around Balfour. Or at least, that side of the ferry. Not right on the lake either, that would cost too much.  But I want to be a quick bike ride to the lake. I have some friends that left Vancouver and moved that way. There is a lot to choose from. Yeah, just investment for now.

Hey PC. :)

  I did get the interview but they kept post-poning the hiring date and re-posting the position several times.  This tells me that they're looking for someone in specific (not sure what) and are not interested in filling the position right away.

Dripped coffee has always been the best.  I remember the old Melita's.  Just a plastic cone that rested on top of the pot that you poured your boiled water through.  In many ways, it's superior to what all the fancy schmancy coffee machines produce.

  There....like this (I have one in my earthquake kit)

Evening Everyone!
 
 Had the Lil Me parents and the Lil Me sibling for dinner tonight.
 It was nice to chill at home.
 Crickey, busy day.  May Day lacrosse tournament and parade.
 Low attendance at the parade, due to unseasonably crappy weather.
 Jeckyl's scooter literally fell apart at the end of the parade route- luckily one of the parents in attendance is a bike mechanic, and I had the foresight to pack a wrench with me...

The flowers smell great...and dinner was good, too.  I kept it simple.  Made some brown rice, cooked a fish, made a vegan potato/chickpea salad.  Mom brought some Chinese take-out and vegan dessert.  I baked a pie (that originally came from mom's freezer....blueberry/peach from 1999?!...it was fine...we're all still alive and walking around....) Emptied some bottles of wine...my relatives drink as much as they eat...

  Lol. Those girls didn't show up to this one, but instead I got the 'awwww you're so great SD, you didn't have to do this' (being the designated driver) etc, whatever. lol I would have been home at 2am ish but a friend of mine was getting busy with another friend (call it drunken russian love)... So annoying, she said "yeah I'll be ready to leave in 10 mins" 10mins turned into 2hrs and then she spent the night. Could of told us that in the begining, oh well my drunk friend entertained us.

And apparently I got everyone thinking I know Russian again. Which I get a kick out of.


Had a great day at the park today. Ate too many dumplings for dinner.

Yeah I don't have a week, but since I'm taking the same road every year back, I'll do the whole park in bits and pieces. Plus if somebody ever wanted to go with me back to home, that would make it more feasible. Solo trips are mind numbing after a while.

Yes, it is exciting. Actually not house hunting. It is just property hunting. Recreation property, eventually will be a house on the land. I want to eventually move there full time. I would have to sell my home now to get a house there though. So, just a piece of land in the meantime.

 Thanks for the info Michel, greatly apprieciated, but I can't afford to do any sight seeing this time around sadly, economic woes.

I'm pissed/depressed. I stayed an extra two weeks spent now with car repair spent a tonne for nothing. Stupid friend of mine decided nah she was going to skip the meeting and go visit an island and be her normal hippie self. Well good for her, her selfish action cancelled the meeting that was sooo important I couldn't miss they told me. f*ck they didn't even email me saying the meeting was canceled.  Sooooo pissed, I'm at a loss for words.

  I hope you get to visit your Mom, Van. :)  I'm helping my friend move this weekend and then, if the weather is really nice, we'll be hitting the beaches to collect rocks.  Why rocks?  Because Mr PL brought this rock kit where it turns rocks into nicer looking rocks.   :)  He had to let it spin for a few weeks.  It's such a loud lil thing but he managed to cover it so that we don't hear it at night.  These rocks are looking mighty polished and nice.  You can even make jewelry out of em.

That sounds interesting. I never heard of that before. Hope the rocks turn out sweet. Sounds like a good excuse to get out to a beach!

Hey purelife and Van!
 
 Camping this weekend.  Should be interesting- I hope the weather predictions hold.  We used to go every May long weekend, then we quit because of the cold, crappy weather.
 
 But this weekend should be good- Scout family camp at the lake.  I'm not bringing a uniform shirt with me, so I'll not be attending in any official capacity...therefore I can bring a cooler full of drinks with me :)

hahaha nice Lil Me. Hope both you and Van and Michel have fun on your travels this Victoria Day weekend.
Meh, I'll be taking care of a 4 year old and a 3 year old, most likely. The two kids never had a father figure in their life. Anyway that's at the end of my trip in KC.

Good Morning Van, PL, Lil Me, Michel and Lise with a tan.

Is this the same family camp that you were talking about Lil Me?  Where your family is getting together to camp?  Have fun though...maybe you could mix beer and coffee.

  lunch is chicken shawarma with cous cous and potato salad.

  I got a new cell phone yesterday.  I had to get one cuz my stupid old phone's battery kept dieing.  I would charge it up the night before and the very next day, the battery power was completely drained.  New phones are fun to play with. :)

 This is also the reason why I'm procrastinating on fixing my car which will cost around $600.   I better pass air care..and that's gonna cost $45 and if I fail, retakes are a bit cheaper but hopefully, there won't be a cost to fixing whatever is affecting the air care marks.  

 So yeah, I hear ya.  Car repairs are never cheap and there's always something.....
 


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on May 14 08 01:42
Agreed.  I feel your pain.  There's always "something" with a car.
 
 This weekend's Family Camp is just a regular Scout camp weekend, except parents and siblings are invited to attend as well.  One big happy, slightly crazy family...

I bet the Scout Camping have lots of planned activities which should be fun. :)

  I've never been camping before so one day, I hope to do so before I turn 80.

 Oh I'd kill to see my bill at 600 this morning. Sadly hit the x2 button. My friend who's thinking about getting the car was in shock at the bill. I just said "ya know, cars, they are expensive."

 
  Got to go talk to school folks about 'the future' because if they don't say what I want to here, I'm moving to Burnaby.

I was in scouts growing up. We had to go camping in blizzards (we had to go camping for a weekend every month of the year). Those Dec-Feb camping weekends. FREAKING BRRRRRRR -20 to -30ish, but the winter camps were always the most enjoyable for some reason.

brakes and water pump blew so it had to be replaced. If I hadn't had the car fixed the car would have died going up the pass outside of Seattle most likely.

  Yup, I'm probably transfering to SFU. Unless VIU starts offering federal U.S. Student loans that I can get at SFU, then I'll stay over here. Chances are this isn't happening so in order to stay in Canada, SFU it is. Hello mountain.

  Hi Lise, welcome home.....glad you had a wonderful time.

Yo, Michel...good bargain shopping there.  Yes....I WAS held captive by a band of rogue salamanders.  It was frightening.  I'll tell you about it later....it's still too fresh to relive it.

purelife....the yard looks good in black....really.  

Lil Me, still as busy busy busy as they come. (you look cute as a chickin)

Sportsdude....safe journey.

Van.....I missed your face.  Coffee ?  Beer ?

Van Guy....where the heck you been?

Gophie, hope your days of leisure are temporary.  You need to post more.

  Hi everyone!

Lil Me, I had a weird thing happen with my keys today too. They fell out of my hands in front of my house and into a storm drain. Fortunately, I have a hide-a-key to get into the house. I could see the keys with a flashlight. I got my Sirius car antenna. It is basically a long wire, with a magnet antenna on the end that sticks to the roof of my truck. Anyways, I pulled the keys out using the magnet. Neighbours kind of looked at me funny, but that is not out of the ordinary!

  Hola PC. Ah geez.... don't get me started on salamanders! Those things are minature dinosaurs! I remember those buggers fighting like crazy on the ceiling back in M'sia. And if you're not lucky, one of them start to drop from the ceiling and fall on you. Minus the twitching tail. Icky.

 I also told him that by that time things change, it may be a little too late.  I know for a fact that they are afraid of me leaving them because in my  current role, I'm VERY valuable to them because I know about this database system that we use REALLY well and the new system, I also know VERY well....  I've never felt so important like this ever.  

 I'm going to see how this job is, if it's bad, I will temp.  Mr PL will soon have medical/dental so, I'm not worried about temping though, I will be making less $.  Though, I do want my max EI benefit payout.  I think it's about $800 every two weeks.

 You will need to pee in the cup, stand on the scale, remember approx dates of your last cycle, so the doc can estimate a due date.
 If your doc does not deliver babies, he will refer you to a dr who does.

 It's shaping up to be a good day.
 Fight with Telus is over.  Mr LM took over the fight and Telus has issued him a $320 credit.  Yahoo!
 Mr LM is a much better negotiator than I am.  I have no poker face, and I tend to rant and rave a lot.

I'm loving it. It's so much better than I imagined it would be (and I had wonderful visions of it too). It's just fantastic to be able to do everything at your own pace, have no pressures and have time to take a proper look at  (and appreciate fully) everything that's going on around you - it's like seeing the world through new eyes.

Hiya LM and Gophie.  Your lunches sure are healthy.   I would get hungry if I ate like LM, pregnant or not.  

  Lunch is smoked salmon sandwich on cranberry sourdough, with roasted veggies.  And I have a small salad with avocado.. LUV avocado...

  I think I've seen 9 mos but it was a long time ago...it was a funny movie. :)

  Do you have lots to pack for your camping trip, LM?

 Nah, this is an easy one.
 Tent, tarps, sleeping bags and foamies (&amp; clothing, snacks and booze).
 Group meals have already been co-ordinated :)

HELLO FROM SOUTH DAKOTA, BADLANDS....

  first a huge congrats to PL on the baby. Hope its a girl.

*puts on the all knowing cap* - crap it I need another quarter to make the hat work, so no knowledge on pregnancies other then apparently I was a pain to my mom. 18 days in the hospital, 18 days passed due date. Story of my life I'm afraid.

  Well the trip has been a pain and mentally tiring. I've had the past 4 days 4,5,3 and 5 hours of sleep.

Yesterday on three hours of sleep I some how managed to get to Missoula, MT.

Got a speeding ticket today in Wyoming. First time I've ever seen a cop on wyoming interstates. I was getting tired and lets be honest. Its wide open spaces, there hadn't been an exit for 50 miles and I was in need of a washroom break. 142 in a 120, well at least they didn't catch my oopsies I wasn't paying attention of 170ish in Montana. Oh well.

  Tomorrow, Rushmore, Custer, Badlands, Souix Falls to sleep. Next day home.

  I snuck food across the border again. Nobody seems to really check yet they check the canadian drivers always in front of me. Must be me and my good ole boy status with the guards who all seem to have stayed at Scott Air Force base in the STL metro area for one reason or another.

P.C. (lol almost typed my name accidentally) Montana now has speed limits, I'd wish they'd reconsider because the state is too freaking long and by the time you've gone through it you're so mentally tired/worn out by all the beauty of the place everything else seems boring. When I got to Rapid City tonight called home said "this is it? I've seen something like this all day." lol

Well, according to the pregnancy test, I am.... and thanks for the Congrats guys.  It was kinda unexpected and kinda soon but that's ok.  I've got my doc appt Tuesday. :)  I'm 4 wks, due Jan 21.

Today, I helped my friend move.   5 hrs of sweat, sweat and more sweat... all I survived on was water and fruit popsicles....  Then, I met MrPL and gang at Stanley Park... (gawd, I hate driving in downtown).  Then, we had greek food at Stephos.  And then got home and might check out the fireworks tonight at the Quay.  

Tomorrow, we're thinking about going for a swim and the beach and a bbq.

Where's Dinotown?

SD, ya gotta slow down.... especially when you can't really afford a speeding ticket.. (I know I can't and I do my best to go within limit).  

Smugling food is better than smugling tobacco, durags and people.

  [A href="http://www.dinotown.com/dino/"]Dinotown[/A] is close to Chilliwack, about 1 hr and 15 mins drive. We didn't end up going to Dinotown as the wee one vomited so we headed to the GVZoo instead. Had  a blast. We'll go Dinotown some other time and I'm going to give her Gravol so she can nap.

Sleep in Vancouver Island? I'm confused.

Just got to my uncles place in Kansas City, KS.
Went to the Black Hills, wild donkeys love people. I'll post pics tomorrow when I get back to STL.
A herd of Buffalo were about 2 metres from my car. That was awesome.
The monument itself and the surrounding area sucked, (i know everything about the carvings and such so it was a park, pay 10 bucks, walk up to the look out point and take a picture). Billboards were all around saying "have you had you're patriotic inspirational moment yet?" I was like, no, it just makes me miss B.C. lol
Manitobans invaded, saw a bunch of cars in the parking lot with those Friendly licence plates.

South Dakota seriously needs to start building wind turbines. Its a national crime that they aren't picking up this energy.
Iowa sucked, but what's new.
Mizzerah stank, but then again that's not shocking.
And the goof balls on the radio are still blathering about the decline of America with gay marriage now basically legal along with the usual 'Damn liberal californians, gay people should be flogged' crap. Although I must say I found it extremely comforting and at the same time over joyed hearing the ultras crying on the radio in absolute panic that the world was going to end and about how the country is being taken over with this ruling.
Glad to see nothing's changed about midwest, feels like home.

  My menu:

* Mom-in-law's tomato chicken

* Sweet soy sauce with ginger chicken wings

* BBQ tangy beef ribs

* Waldorf salad (my first time!)

* Fruit platter

Hey everyone!  It echoes in here.
 
 Back from 2 nights at Alice Lake with Scouts.  Had a wonderful time.  Sat was extreme heat- swimming in the lake was wonderful.  Sun was sunny but windy and slightly cold- lake was much colder but still swam out to the dock and back- needed a challenge for the day.  Rained Sun night- so today's pack-up and move-out was a bit of a chore.  Almost everyone abandonned ship Sunday night, so there were 2 adults and 3 kids left with the tarps, awnings, remaining coolers, burners, chairs, kitchen equipment.  Quite a slow caravan heading back into town on Hwy 99 today....
 
 BBQ bird from S'way tonight.
 I'm tired and I still have a car full of my own wet tarps and tent to stow.

Speaking of working at night. I goofed yesterday on the route and had to pick up papers and my worst nightmare happened. Somebody called in saying I was suspecious looking and might be a robber/person who breaks into homes etc and the entire town's police force is looking for me and my black car (rich neighbourhood who call the cops on racoons scaring them). Now, enter nightmare, some old fart scared to death is going to become vigilante and shoot me tonight... lol okay maybe not that extreme, but I'm almost guaranteed the usual chase down, pulled over and searched for drugs tonight (since that's happen to me before). Nothing shocks me anymore.

I can't wait for this new job. No more having to deal with idiot missourians.

Yipes. Could go either way here.  

  Sorry about your soggy camping trip, although it sounds like you had fun anyways.

  We spent Saturday night watching a forest fire move towards our home.  Our yard filled up with smoke, so we hopped in the car to go investigate (me prepared to blast whoever was burning in such a wind) only to find a rapidly growing brush fire.  We called 911 (3 times) until 45 minutes later someone finally showed up.  It had grown considerably and had caught on to  the standing trees......it was bloody frightening.

Good evening everyone.

That is scary PC and what took the fire crew so long?!

Went to the doc's today and had some blood work done.  I had totally forgotten about blood work and was planning to head back to work in the afternoon.  So, I ended up taking the whole day off.

So, I went to a Mechanic and they checked my car.  It turns out that I DON'T need a few things done.  I got JIPPED!  I'm glad that my bill would cost $240 (with taxes) instead of $700.  Then, I got my air care done and PASSED!  I was so relieved.  I almost wanted to buy something...for myself to celebrate.  

One more practice of rowing 'till our race day.  We're doing good!

Yes it does indeed! This is the first time in 4 years that I haven't had to work on weekends when I'm in Missouri. Only downside is that they've had major flooding down there and a lot of the roads have been washed away etc and nobody has been able to do any farming. So its stressful down there.

I hear ya on spoiled kids. What's terrible is that some of these kids are sent here to study at universities/colleges (usually from HK) and are left on their own. Then they go out of control and their parents are powerless to stop them. I've met my share of spoilt brats and hope that when we raise our kids, they would know better. *fingers crossed*

  Congrats on passing aircare there, PL. There's nothing quite like passing aircare. (haha) At any rate, I thought they were phasing it out? Seem to recalled a Russ topic on this one....

  Right, did anyone get drenched on Tuesday morning? I got caught in Vancouver's version of monsoon while waiting at the bus stop. Terrible!!! ARGH!!!! And I wore one of those slippers without socks so they were soaked by the time I got to my workplace. Luckily I had an extra pair of shoes. I WANT SUNNY WEATHER!!!

Congrats purelife!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was busy. Lots of driving. Found a couple of potential properties. So freaking pricey though. I am thinking it will be all worth it though over the years.

  So sweet to be out of the city for a few days though. The city is feeling less and less like home to me.

Automatic Food Dispenser sounds like a good invention.  Need an Automatic Litterbox Cleaner, too!
 
 purelife- the Korean Spa is in Coquitlam.  Best $15 shower and steam ever.  The women's area has the steam room, dry sauna and salt room.  The mixed area has an earth room and a charcoal room-- they give you a PJ outfit to wear while you're walking around in the mixed area.  There are also massage services, nail services, Korean food.

Well it's funny, because I had mentioned to hub, that we should look into getting one.....but I had a peek in a thrift shop today....and there it was.  Brand new with the stickers still on it.  Perfect.

  No litterbox for his majesty.....he's an outdoors boy.

  Yes, SD.....we are going away for a week or two.....but not for a couple months.  I'm just thinking ahead (for a change)

    A steaming sounds like a good idea Lil Me.  I get clausterphoibia (or something like it) in a steam room.  Yet a nice hot tubby that gets the room all steamy doesn't bother me......as long as it's not TOO steamy.

$15 for a steam sounds reasonable.  I'm going to convince Mr PL to send me away for a spa treatment day.  I've never had one before.  Have you ever tried other services?

Ok...that's what I thought too cuz Mr PL seems to think that loud noises aren't good for the baby.

I really like her music and her as a person.  She comes across (to me anyways) as someone who comes from the heart.  And I relate to her and some of her hardships, though I didn't experience the same.  

I used to mimic her dancing from her music videos. And it's great that she's coming to town in Sept.  Now, I just have to find someone to go with.  Mr PL might be busy.

I think any Cirque will give you more entertainment value for your buck.  I think Cirque de Soleil has the be THE only show in history, that I have NEVER, EVER heard someone say....'yea...they didn't put on a very good show this time'.  Regardless of how much someone spends on a ticket.....after the show.... I think it's unanimous, that it was worth every penny. (how's that for a generalization (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif) )

 Jeckyl has Fifth Disease- a highly contagious parovirus that gives the victim a distinctive red rash.  It's been going around the school, but he just developed the rash this morning.  Great.  At least, he's no longer contagious, now that he HAS the rash.  But he likely infected us for the last 2 weeks...we may all get it...
 
 Heckyl designed an ecology project "to be built from recycled materials" for school.  The irony is, that I just spent $10 on materials...popsicle sticks, carpenter glue, cardboard, wallpaper paste....

 Good evening Van Guy.  We could all sing a lullabye ?  lol

  That's OK.  I've been reading about the geophysical properties of rocks all day - I'm plenty bored.

  I like a 'no plans' weekend.....just taking it as is comes is a good thing.

  I work 7 days a week ... what's a weekend?  Then when I'm at home - I usually have a paint brush in one hand and a kids lacross stick in the other ... [/DIV]

P.C.- you may be wise to stay out of my neighbourhood.  The high octane olive oil content is likely to cause an almighty conflaguration.  (but the dough is rising!)  I'll call you back over when I  manage to do this properly and we'll have dinner then!

 Ulp.  I didn't mean it quite like that!  lol

 
 The pizza dough worked really well.  Brown and crispy on the edges.  I think I'll continue to screw up the recipe every time I make pizza!  This was the result:
 
 1 1/2 c (+ as much as you need)  flour
 1/2c warm H2O
 2 envelopes yeast
 1 Tbsp honey
 1/4c olive oil
 1/4 tsp salt
 
 All this talk of pizza yesterday, and I was craving some.  But being the cheapo that I am, I decided to use the leftover bits of ham, cheese and veggies in the fridge.

 Hey SD, I saw the bison pic. So you've been to Custer State Park ? How big was the herd you saw ? How many bisons altogether in the park ? Any pronghorns pics ?

What does "Meh meh" means ? How was Indy 4 ? French Canadian channel specified he's figthing against the USSR of Stalin, dos spielbers  make this clear in the flick? Still that's not enough to change enough the historical background to me to make it credible, because I assume it's about world domination as usual. Oh well Speilberg had to deal with the wrinkles of his actors I assume, otherwise he would have stick to the Nazis.
   

 
Well I'm soft to stick up for Russians since all my friends back in Nanaimo are proud Russians and don't recognize the Russian flag and only the Soviet Flag as "their Russia" even though half are conservatives and one is a social democrat in his words 'I remember standing in line as a kid' lol (he's a save the world type). Anyway so I don't usually like films mocking people. (Although the Nazi story line should have extremely never bothered me, since they were pretty much mocking my family during the war, before the war, etc) anyway

They make it clear that Blanchette's character is 'Stalin's favourite' and she's looking for knowledge to give her all the power in the world so they can win the war etc i.e. world domination *yawn*. The movie tries to mock the McCarthy era with Indy being chased by KGB people (again stereotypical my best friend's dad was a Col. in the KGB) during a 'Anti-Communist' march on campus. Then people get black listed during the film (the whole script is rushed, it seems this could have been good but they didn't really try to make it historical).  There's the atomic bomb which makes a cameo. The plot is just a mess. My favourite movie out of the triology is the third, which is mainly due to Connery. Connery is not in this film. The movie just seems rushed for example we never get Indy's opinion on the times, he just tells the FBI folks they're crazy and then the Soviet guys he just doesn't like, thinks they're crazy. His political opinion is missing although a famous character switches sides during the film and he feels betrayed wonders why he'd join them, the double agent says because of money, but Indy never truly hates him or gets mad at him.

-rushed scripted
- no real plot
- rushed through the political part of the film
- Indy doesn't make a political stand or we don't get his opinion other then a few seconds
- Shia is the most annoying actor in the history of movies

ADD:
Custer Park there was about 15-20 in a herd that I saw but they were far off in the distance away from the road in the Wildlife/Wilderness Rd. (which didn't have much wildlife. There were two Bison hanging out at the enterance to the park. To be honest I saw more wildlife on the road between the National Forest and the Park then the park itself. That's where the wild donkeys were hanging around and then on my way out of the Black Hills I ran into Bison blocking the road. (that's where the close ups come from). Saw an Antelope and that's it.

Indy doesn't imply anything, his views are the plot that's really missing. He's just anti-blacklisting but that's pretty much it, he doesn't attack the Blanchette's character though, just thinks she's stupid.

Yeah the right wing editor coming off super smug thinking he knows everything about the world and America, that the SFSS is run by Communists etc and that everything to him is considered Communist etc. I've seen idiots like that my entire life, it's the typical american right wing mentality you see in the media to be a right wing cynic who are trying to mimick left wing cynics. Except right wing cynics never come off as funny, just crass,obnoxious and a bully.

Instead of writing about 'how they see it', they write with their precieved prejudices which come off as a cranky old curmudgeon.

Jeckyl's rash is almost gone.  He only got in on his face, and it never spread to the rest of his body.
 
 This is what's affecting my feet.
 
 [h2 align="left"]papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome[/h2]    This is another strange rash that you have to have heard of to recognize. The name is descriptive. The rash is localized to the hands and feet, with sharp demarcation. Initially it consists of confluent redness and papules of the hands and feet, sharply demarcated at the wrists and ankles as if the child had worn gloves and socks that triggered the rash. As the rash progresses, it becomes [a href="http://www.drhull.com/EncyMaster/P/petechiae.html"]petechial[/a] and bruised-appearing.   [/p]  It is believed to be caused by infection with human parvovirus B19 and perhaps some other viruses as well.

Calamine lotion ?  

  My mom used to scrape shavings off a bar of Ivory soap, and mix it with sugar to make a paste.  Then she would wrap a bandage, coated with the poultice onto an 'affected....infected' area.  It always worked.  Mind you, that was before all these new and weird viruses came about.

 Funny, my gut reaction is to treat an itch with something that "stings"...Dettol, AfterBite stick, etc.

Don't do that Lil Me. We don't want another body part washing up on the shore somewhere. lol

  Don't forget the old simple home remedies as well Lil Me.  Good ol Baking soda and water to make a paste is great for itch.....as well as oatmeal, applied the same way.

Oatmeal bath.
Yeah I know the athlete's foot stuff wouldn't work, just wondering if it would stop the itch.
Well applied for housing. Stupid me, should of applied months ago. Happy to see that they have meal plan. woot!  Although that means no more Hungarian food for a while. lol Although my parents would rather me studying then spending 2.5hrs cooking. lol

I know how you feel about your itch LM.  I think at our old apt we had spiders or whatever, because whatever it was, it bit me on my feet and it was SO DAMN itchy and it was so swollen to the point that I couldn't walk properly and it hurt to put pressure on it.  

I didn't treat it with anything much except for using this anti-itch thingee.  I did find that when I aim the itch with the shower head with hot hot water, it relieved it.  It was soothing.

Yesterday was Memorial Day and C-Span had on Capitol Hill Historians talking about the Capitol Hill dome which is really two domes in one. Where the windows or is a balcony looking down on the rotunda (you can't go to the top of the dome unless you know sombody from Congress) . You can shout and scream all you want on that balcony nobody is going to hear you. 18 stories down.

The funny/sad/ironic part was that the building was being built during the Civil War. It was used as a rallying cry for the Unionist side. The irony is that the Freedom statue on the top of the dome was constructed by slave labour.

  Nope, no Memorial Day shopping for me. When I give myself a day off, I hope to be far away from anything that resembles shopping. Although I should probably look for sales. I am the guy that will go on a mid week night when things are quieter. It is worth it for me to pay full price for something if I can miss the crowds.

  I would rather go to Lise's work and have my teeth pulled out though, than go to a busy mall.

  Well there's also

Kaskaskia island (its not an island, its just after the big huge quake 200 years ago the river (mississippi) was on one side of this town and moved to the other side. Its the only part of Illinois west of the Mississipi (it used to be east of course) lol.

  Oh it gets better the french came first (of course) then the Brits won the French and Indian war and took over a part, then French sold the purchase to the Spanish who then took over the Purcahse, then the Germans moved in. So you will go from a town called Renault, then the next one over is Wartburg and then down the road is De Soto and then Chester. lol (French, German, Spanish, English).

  Same goes with the county I live in. My town is a british name, the city is french, down the road is a german name, and down another street are 4 french named suburbs.

The other book had way more diagrams/pictures/figures and better exercise routines and explanations than this one.  And the other one is printed in Canada.  I prefer a Canadian biased book than US.  (no offense, I just live in Canada).  I should've checked the publication before I purchased the book...but the lady said it was a popular book.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 27 08 02:59
Okay, just next time it's better to say I just didn't like the book because it wasn't helpful instead of saying 'because its American' (which I understand, when I'm in BC I only buy Canadian centric things and I'm a stickler for Canadian spelling). It just might come off as condescending.  I have a bad habit of saying "Let me look up my Canadian number" when giving out cell numbers to places of business or for signing up for something. I don't mean to be rude when saying something like that, but my friend always gets on my case to drop these habits because they can be precieved differently.

Happy BDay Lise!!!  Have a great weekend.
 
 Scouts went to Archery tonight.  Always a blast.  Tonight, I tried to shoot a compound bow, but didn't have the arm strength to draw the thing back- it was set at 45lbs of force.,,,apparently too much for Elmo.

Elmo has many fine qualities to be sure - impressive arm strength is not one of them - look at those "pipe cleaner" pipes.

Ah, thanks kids. Blesses all around.

  Anyone heard about the Hedy gloves? Last week, we pulled them off the shelves because someone found pieces of fly on the gloves. Gross. Pity tho, I like those gloves.

  Grad ceremony yesterday for all the doctors, pharmacies, dentists and hygienists. We watched everything online because we weren't allowed to participate. (had to work - pfffft) Never been prouder of those kids. Maybe one day little Lises will be walking down as an MD or DMD. *sigh*

Really ?  Well good job for trying anyhow Miss Lise.  I've never even touched a bow and arrow.  I AM a crack-shot with a sling shot though.  Does that count ? [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a035.gif" border=0]

Sure that counts ....

I'm a crack shot with a sawed off shot gun - point in the general area - blammo - and you get your target everytime.  Plus the model I use has 8 rounds so if you miss the first 7 times the offending animal will be pretty darn close by the 8th round.

 My hand and foot rash got worse overnight.

Oh, and what's the difference of having the compound bow?  (i don't know the terminology for archery)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Compund bow has more strings and  some pulleys, so there is a mechanical advantage- you can get more "pull".

That sounds delish, purelife.
 
 *sweating*
 What a day.  I had big plans to do "not very much", as I feel like crap.
 Went to see the pharmacist at the drug store.
 Got phone call from my aunt and unc, who are in the middle of moving.
 They had a fancy office chair and some other stuff to give me.
 Got my friend's truck, drove to North Van and back.
 At least it's an F-350, so you can drive in damn near any gear you want and it won't stall...
 White knuckles, tried to drive forwards only.
 Elmo doesn't like backing up the quad cab with the long box.
 Encountered a traffic jam in the cul de sac outside my place- there were 2 cranes, a landscape crew, and a constuction worker in the street with sawhorses cutting mouldings.  *sweating* nowhere to turn around and cars coming from every direction.
 
 It's tea time.  Time for a breather.

Yeah. I was going to put down "Just go over to Mr. LM's family's place in Alberta." lol
So he's embraced Mr. LM's side of right of passage? lol The Farm side tried in vein to get me to pick up some of their traditions (mainly hunting, I like walking in the woods, I'm just not hell bent on shooting everything). Kept a few, I like going hunting with my cousin, but we never see anything and I've never applied for a licence (so I don't carry a gun), so I've gone 'half way'. Grandpa gave me a gun in his will. It's got a 500 dollar scope on it. To me that's the only thing interesting about it. I think he knew though I wasn't that into the whole hunting thing (just fascinated with the concept), he gave my cousin the 1950s era 12 gauge when it was up in the air of who would get it. lol

No more alcoholic drinks for you, Ms. purelife! *shakes stern finger*

  I had the bellinis from Milestones (virgin, of course) and boy, was it evar yummy-licious.

  *big wide yawn* So so so sleepy. Dead boring at work because everyone is winding down. Just got news that one student did not pass his clinical work so he didn't graduate with the rest of his mates. Must be devastating for him. I'm sure he'll pass eventually, he'll probably just have to do some make-up courses. I kinda feel for him having been in that situation.

  Left my work pass at work. Damn. Damn. Damn. Just hoping someone will let me in early on Friday.

I was just thinking - didn't Chretien use a stone statue to subdue a home intruder a few years ago?
Soapstone if I'm not mistaken ...
Very versatile weapon those rocks.  Bears .... home intruders ... I wonder if there is a patent on them?

Rock- o matic - I could use leftover pet rocks from the 70's and paint a mean face on them.

Having granite means never having to say "I'm sorry" could be my slogan.

Self defence - home intruders - paper weight - pet  - anchor for very small boats -

I think I'm onto something here -

  We are getting slammed HARD with the wind right now.  And I mean HARD.  It started last night around 7......and hasn't let up.  I was petrified to sleep last night.  The yard is a MESS.  Bloody idiots up behind us keep buying parcels of land and then try to see if they can turn it into the prairies. [img onclick="selecte('mad.gif');" alt=emoticon src="http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/mad.gif" border=0]

   They are removing any buffer we had and it's taking a toll.  Granted, this particular wind is pretty bad even WITH the buffer....but it is getting worse.

  I'm really surprised we didn't didn't hear a tree come down last night.  I think I may vacate the premises today, if it doesn't let up.

Morning!  P.C.- hope the blustery day settles down over there.
 
 purelife- You guys have a great weekend at Harrison.
 
 Gotta love the Bellini.  Years ago, I had an embarassingly large collection of plastic Bellini animals.  They were literally all over the dashboard of my truck, all over my desk at work.  *sighs*  What can I say.  Milestone's was the halfway point between home and work.  It was a logical pitstop.
 
 Y'all remember that the Milestone's Bellini also comes in a fish bowl.  The fish bowl Bellini used to be about $12, but I'm sure that price has increased...

They used to be MUCH better.  They are actually quite collectible, and some go for a pretty good price (same with cereal box treasures)

  You can get some now with some pretty good 'prizes', but you need to mortgage your house for them.  (I buy the little explosive thingees and make my own.  The only problem with that, is that I'm never surprised with my treasure.  I have to feign surprise.  Oh look....a diamond ring)(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)

The Osoyoos. Yeah I experienced some of that in Eastern Washington. lol Everyone was in shorts I was in a Hoodie and jeans. haha

From looking at records Van looks like it hits upper 30s a couple times a summer. Its usually around or in the lower 40s here for a couple weeks to a month. 5 years ago it was above 40 for 35 days killed 60 some people. Then we've got the high humidity and hot breezes not cool breezes. Shade down here doesn't cool you off. lol

Today is a 'cool' day at 33 humidity is not too bad its at 50%.

Osoyoos is cool because in the summer it is full of bikini gals, looking for a summer mistake! Woooohoo!

That's why I love the Pacific Northwest. Temperate. I never have to worry about tans because I never get 'white' I'm always tan. lol Thank you DNA. haha.

okay well I'm off to the farm. Got a dinner to catch by the place on the lake down there.

I do prefer the Kootenay weather. A little bit warmer than Vancouver in the summer, but not as hot at the Okanagan. Yet, cooler in the winter.  That, among a million other reasons why I like it better.

I follow my 80/20 rule.  20 % is junk food....like for lunch today, I had pizza.  I regret eating the pizza cuz my tummy didn't feel good afterwards.  

I do like to binge (on occasion) on a bag of Mrs Vickies. And I ain't talkin about a small bag...I'm talking massive!  And I like my chocolate and cheese cake.....

I've officially turned into a cranky old person.  I phoned in a noise report to the RCMP.  Contractors across the street pouring concrete past 10pm.  City bylaw limits construction noise 7am-7pm.

  Lovely dinner with my co-worker at the village. Man, I never notice that they have a lotta food from different countries underground. It's a great change. I even found a Malaysian take-out! So happeeee!

Hey!  Nice Saturday.  Trying to cat nap in between errands and lacrosse games.
 
 The contractors pumped concrete until midnight, then dismantled the pumper crane.  The RCMP never showed up- hard to get them to respond to a bylaw infraction on hot Fri nights...  Apparently, once you start pouring a floor....you can't stop.
 
 Chicken breast burgers on the BBQ tonight.

Everyone's having BBQ? Gimme gimme!! Love BBQ - it means summer's finally around the corner.

  Beautiful day today. We started early this morning, just me and the kids. Decided to take the skytrain, didn't have a clue where we were heading. At the last minute, I decided to take the girls to Scienceworld. What a let down. Constructions everywhere, even the stupid White Spot take-out was down. At least the kids had fun playing so that's important.

  Dinner is leftover. I'm too tired to cook.

Hello miss LM! Yes yes... home soon.

 I agree NUKE the broccoli. Its green so it cant be good for you.

 Well, its morning here and im debating whether or not to shower and head down for breakfast, or to just order room service so I can stay a hermit.

 I looked out my window this morning and wow, theres a nice back courtyard with a pool! Too bad half of it is construction and the pool looks questionable.

I'm really surprised we didn't didn't hear a tree come down last night.  I think I may vacate the premises today, if it doesn't let up.

I was thinking ... if you were to use perhaps 2 rolls of duct tape you could tape the cat into a ball and to diquise it keep wrapping and it would look like you were just bringing in a big ball of duct tape

duct tape and rocks are pretty much my answer to any problem that comes up.

Hmm I'm gone for an awesome weekend and I get smited. Interesting.

Anywho, I had an awesome weekend down on the farm, everyone got along, nobody fighted, we all went fishing. It was absolutely fabulous!
We had a big fish fry, I think I don't need to eat for a week.

  Dinner at the sushi place was fantastic. Good food, good company - it's bliss. Never seen so much beef tantaki (seared beef, raw and sliced thinly) go so fast. I don't eat the beef tantaki but my friends must have eaten a whole cow. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Other/18.gif)

  Met my friend's new GF. Dunno. I don't quite like her. Maybe I'm used to the former one who was sweet and quiet. This one's too demanding and a bit rude especially to the servers. Anyways, is it bad that I hope this relationship doesn't last? Ah well...

  Gonna be SO SO BORING at work till September. No students, nothing going on much except maybe urgent care clinic (emergency patients). Yawn. It's difficult to look busy........

Great day, thanks Lil Me.  I'm getting a little pissy about the lack of sunshine though.  I mean ...it's COLD out.  It's shaping up to be a deja vous of last summer.

  Rats.....I just got here....and now I gotta run. [img onclick="selecte('eh.gif');" alt=emoticon src="http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/eh.gif" border=0]

Thanks miss LM.. Yeah good to be home. I got back at 1230 this afternoon. Had a nap and went out for sushi with starfish, my brother, and two friends. Those buggers got me into saki so Im ready for bed.

  Im just back and tomorrow Im loading up the Tahoe and Starfish and I are heading to the island with some more junk from here for my parents. Then we are coming back on thursday, and going back over with three vehicles on saturday...

  So hows everyone else doing?

Hey Lil Me - summer time is super boring and ja, it's easy in a sense. Not much work to be done because there's not much to do. It's harder to appear like you're doing something when there's nothing much to do so it's back to cleaning that greasy corner spot for the 100th time. *sigh*

  Keep those cat pictures coming, they're extremely funny!!! *meow*

 40 is the new 25 Lise you don't get 'old' until you're 80 these days and that is being squashed. lol


iyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyi got a UBC letter saying I needed 2 years of a foreign language and American English doesn't count as foreign? What about Queen's English? lol
Even though it would be wise for me to go back to French, I've gone down that road.

For a job? Unless I go working for the fed, I don't need french in BC. Plus the govt puts you through a 52 week program of intensive french language training. Also its not like I could get a fed job in the near future its for 'canadians only unless in dire need as the millionth option'.

Yes, French is a beautiful language too. Knowing some Spanish is a poor excuse not to learn French. I learned some French. Sadly lost it due to not using it too much. Like calculus. I lost a lot of that too.

hahaha

Non, I took 2 1/2 years of spanish and then needed to take Spanish again, but Spanish was full in h.s. so they made me take French for 2 years. Barely passed, struggled with the utter confusion of saying something in Spanish in French class or thinking of Spanish. Then I didn't say a word or read either Spanish or French for 3 years. Took a Spanish class again 2 years ago, still confusion.

If I want to learn French I've got to do it in Quebec or France. I'm American, Spanish is too prevelant here.

About Canada? I love Canada, I wish I didn't come home for the summer break. I came to Canada because I didn't want to be considered 'American' anymore, wanted to experience something different, and being 'Canadian' gets me further in other places in the world then 'American'. And frankly I'd just rather live in British Columbia over other places.

I've always had this connection/pull to Europe due to family stuff and my cultural roots which have always been a mystery. I explained to a friend that Europe to me is this 'holy land' of cultures and fusion which I've always admired and wanted to be like. A lot of Americans dream of Europe as Europeans long for N.A.

If I didn't like Canada I wouldn't get homesick for BC. lol
I start beaming when people say I'm Canadian or I get to talk about Canada and British Columbia.

Really its 3 years of Spanish.
The first two years of Spanish were done in Middle School so students could be doing upper university spanish/german/french/latin (the languages available at the school) by your last year in H.S.
Last two years of H.S. I did French.
Then I took a night class spanish class. Still didn't get it. lol

Well to graduate they want a foreign language.

    OK.  I'm getting confused.  

  So admittance to UBC requires that you have 2 years of a foreign language.  You've had 5 years.  Spanish and French ARE foreign languages.  Where is the problem ?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I've run into the language require problem before with UBC.  They want you to have French 8-12 if it's from high school.   If you it university courses you need 2 years.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jun 04 08 02:23
Same here JJ.  I took 8, 9and 10 in high school, and dropped it for 11 and 12.  School career counselor said it was no longer a requirement.  Turned out she was wrong.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: JJ on Jun 04 08 02:25
She really wasn't wrong, just not totally informed.  You do need just 3 years of high school language to get in to UBC, but to get your degree you need the equivalent of French 12.      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jun 04 08 02:30
OK....I'm wrong all over the place.  It wasn't French at all.  (I thought about it after I posted and remembered taking French 12).  It was Academic Math.  I don't know what things are like now, but when I went to school, there was a General Math Program and the Academic Math Program.  It was the Academic Math I dropped.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]

Michel - When I checked for jobs, the ones that I wanted to apply for (can't remember which ones) asked for French.  I don't think I'll apply now though. :)  Maybe it has changed now.

LM - That was very nice of you to give those plants to your friend.  :)

 I thought this too. As far as I remember you need to speak a bit of french or at least a number of years in HS to prove you knew some words at least for a gubbernment job? You sure about that Michel? Interesting anyhow.

G'morning to you all!

Banana cut up in peach yoghurt with rasberries on top for breaky. Of course coffee too!

  Any plans for the weekend? I am off to the Kamloops area for a mountain bike event tomorrow.  Tenting with a few friends. Marshmallows...no! S'mores darnit!...beer! Hoping the rain stays away. Usually Kamloops is a dry zone though.

You can have some of the heat from here. Nobody would mind except the satanists lovers around here who love it hot for some reason. The type that when its 40+ outside, and heat warnings are out, they're jogging outside telling the world 'this weather is awesome'.  Then saying 'it's not hot it's perfect'. lol

Apparently I'm the grim reaper. 3rd time this week, somebody has been rushed to the hospital on my route while I was working. May they rest in peace.

They like it hot there? Frack, they can have the rain and miserable cold here. I'm kinda sick and tired of the wet, like I want it HOT AND SUNNY for once. I don't remember a time when it was spring and it feels like winter.

  Nothing much to do around the house. I broke my stupid faucet (the thingy that has a net at the bottom of the thingy) trying to clean it so I have to go to the hardware store this weekend to buy the thingy. HAHA. *sarcasm* I hate, aboslutely HATE explaining what I need to the hardware man.... maybe I'll just flash  my boobs and get him to read my mind instead.

Good plan.

Yeah its not really even hot yet and I'm tired of it. Around July/August you want to permenantly stick yourself in a walk in freezer and just sit there. lol

For example I can look outside now, and nobody's outside. Its too hot. How is that productive and fun? Its a super sunny day, can't go to the park though, too hot.
6-9am 6-9pm that's when you do stuff outside.

   Brock
I'm going to have a hard time with the name and might get yelled at.
Here in the midwest we say "Barack Obama" with saying the first 'a' mumbled (only time you can tell I'm not from around here aka Canada is when I start eating vowels and word endings, takes extreme deligence on my part to catch myself) so it comes of as Brock Obama. My cousins wife mrs. suspecious about my political views and world (we had an arguement over her use of the word n*ger) she's not going to like it. So I best just say baby.

So its no use in trying to hide the name. hehe I'm repeating brrock over and its too close to my pronounciation of barack (one syallable instead of two). (only the english press and some canadian press actually say b-ah/rock. I and my midwestern/southern brain can tell when a news guy nationally is from from my area when they eat the 'a'. lol Then some get confused and say B ah eh rock) lol. linguistics is so fun.

Yup was in denial over it for years. Its a regional only accent only. Which means I can talk to you in Vancouver with a nuetral voice, you wouldn't know a thing, my cousin calls, and all of a sudden my voice drops, I eat the first vowels and drop suffix's. Explained this once in Anthropology class about dialects, everyone was blown away at my ability to switch dialects on the spot. My friends in BC didn't start noticing the changes until leaving time came closer and closer, by the time I left, I'd reverted back to the missouri ach-send (which is how I say accent). Like roof is rough.


lol P.C. I'm not an uncle just a Second Cousin. Hopefully this kid isn't scared of me like my cousins first kid is. Gosh I bought him a BC Ferries toy boat which Mrs. Suspecious thanked me for (she really tried to be nice, it was sweet of her).  Everyone is hoping the new guy looks like us this time around (well not me but the folks on the farm all look the same) the first kid looks like the Tennessians who nobody likes. (Seriously her family is strange they cannot stay over a night anywhere they can never leave Tennessee ever).

My hubby's name is also long and unique.

  Come to think of it, we have many international students right now at UBC. I can't pronounce half of them, that's why I know who is who. Funny how they make these dentists from foreign countries (some with years and years of experience) go through university once more. Then again, I would prefer that they go through this so the standard is set high.

  Tuition fees for them is ridiculous, something like $40,000 and up. Per semester.

    LM.. I feel for mr LM. Im not allowed to go to Costco or other places on my own anymore. Or even with my brother.

 God. Still the creepiest sound ever. Every first Monday or Tuesday of the month they test the air raid sirens for about 5 minutes.

As someone who grew up with these constant reminders of militaristic scare tactics it doesn't bother me that much anymore. Although the worst part is when they turn the air raid/tornado off and that hideous sound fades. Subconsciously creeps you out even though you're in the middle of nowhere in a giant country. So great not having to hear these sounds in BC.

You do? I never heard them. The only sounds I heard were the lovely sounds of fog horns and the sound of the day train which all give off calm lovely imagery. Freaking sirens only give off the feeling of war, destruction, ultimate doom. I remember in preschool and kindergarten still doing nuclear drills. Then they stopped it after the Soviet Union fell apart. Although the area still does its weekly patrols of National Guard fly overs at full speed and then the war sirens every month for 5 minutes.

I think the sound is so revolting and frightening because it reduces us to recognize our own mortality.

I can't imagine what my grandmother from Europe feels when she hears those sirens in Florida.

For me its the fading part of the siren when they're turning it off that's the worst. Then here 2 or 3 go off at the same time so its not just one blaring sound but like a chorus.

 haha yeah dodged a bullet. I went job hunting today (which is a pointless exercise at this point, nobody hires for summer work anymore) so I'm down to farm work applications. Surprisingly, they don't need any workers either. oh well.

Thinking about driving out to this area tomorrow:

That was a mistake going there. I knew the instant I showed up. They're looking for career people that in 10 years (the waiting list is this long) to drive a UPS truck. I didn't screw up my life, didn't have kids like a couple people in there at 16,17,18.  When they were talking about college tutition paid, they started naming all the community colleges in the area. Yeah I'm on  different career path (dcp).

Saw Prince Caspian, nice kinda family oriented movie but I have mixed feelings about it. Doesn't feel like it's based on CS Lewis book because there's so much of the movie that isn't from the book. However, the book is a bit boring so I'm not surprised that they've added more to it. Made it a lot richer in a sense.

  Nice to have time off from the kids. I came back to cranberry on couch and talcum powder on toys and carpet. Sheesh.

Saw one of the better produced movies I've seen. Great film, Michel would like it.

Although I must say, people in the theatre are stupid. Its a tiny place and 3 people had their phone on and started talking DURING the film. like WTF, seriously.

Besides the annoying people, excellent movie.

Yeah Lil Me, I tried this farm today, they're full for the summer. I tried Kohl's earlier today, they said they don't hire Summer positions anymore company policy. Seriously that is messed up. Stupid country, impossible to get a job the "summer jobs" don't exist anymore and the typical 'college' jobs aren't being filled by 'college' people because its being filled by people who were laid off. This has been going on for years the unemployment rate for young people is usually double the national average. Don't need numbers though to figure this out. Just go to the grocery store, the malls, heck even Starbucks.

Well PC.. you know you can wear your sunglasses anytime right? Like that song, I wear my sunglasses at night...

  I agree, its raining! Sucks. I was choked cause I had to walk home in it from a friends place where I had my toyota stored.. I got dropped off there earlier by a friend going to work so I could get the truck out of the garage and drive it home. Great plan right? Wrong. Unfortunately after I cleaned it off and got ready to start it.. minor problem. No keys. So I looked all over and then finally called starfish at work. She says, oh I took them out of the truck and brought them back to our place and left them in our room.

So I ended up having to walk in the rain to the bus stop then take the bus home.. well close to home, had to walk 3 blocks in still. But it was TWO FIFTY for the bus! WTF? Its almost cheaper to drive! I thought all the constant increase in gas taxes and property taxes was paying for some of this?

  And onto the important news of the day.. apparently McChokeNPukes has no tomato's for their burgers. There was a recall from the states on teh tomato's.. my question is why does a recall in the states affect our mcdonalds here? Why arent they using local produce instead of stuff shipped in from teh states?

 Morning DS! Hows everyone today?

Im not that keen on yogurt.. although my brother buys a flat of it a week. Buys it from Stupidstore.

  Its sprinkled a bit here but not enough to call it rain.. yet!

  Ha! The talk of tomato's reminds me of my tomato buying on the island this past weekend.

I need some onions and tomato's for burgers at my parents place. So my brother drives into this little store we saw called Tomm's Food Market on the way back from Union Bay (we went to look at boats). As Im going in I notice theres this nice little display of tomato's. Perfect right! cause then I dont have to rummage around inside.. so I grab three. I then head inside and while trying to fight my way around two couples having domestic arguements in teh isle, I manage to snag a bag of onions. After fighting my way round the couples again, I notice that the onions are rotten. Drat. So I go back to buy some loose onions. At this point one couple is right in front of the display. And the kid is picking up stuff from the displays and dropping them on the floor. Reminds me of me for some reason. So after 5 minutes of trying to get the couples attention I manage to get some onions. The other couple is at the till now and the cashier is involved in the discussion somehow. I get bored and see some watermellons for sale so I decide to grab one. In the time I leave my place in line, the first couple is now behind the second couple and all of them are chatting away. Im now stuck at the back of the line. Finally I get close enough to the counter to slam my watermelon down on the counter and the cashier realizes that they do indeed work there. The person rings my order through.. and the tomatos that were time saving and nicely displayed.. were some super organic greenhouse thingys and are 4 bucks a tomato!  I just paid for them and ran out of the store in order to save my sanity. My brother the ever understanding person he is being related to me, didnt let me forget about the tomato's and the amount of time it took in this little store that we stopped at to save time.

Yesterday he bought me a bunch of tomato's when he hit superstore for some more yogurt.. just to spite me. Im debating whether or not to stick one under his pillow for tongiht.

Starfish thinks we are childish with each other for some reason.

There were 3 different areas where they were handing out the yoghurt.  Just revisit it once or several times to each station.  I got two.  One for me and one for my co-worker. :)

Morning!
I haven't had 'fast food' since driving home.
We're out of the blue in terms of rain for the next week. I'm sure something will come up in a week or so. It was so nice to have the temperature drop to around 22C last night after 35's.

Now, everybody's watching the rivers. Tons and tons of rain is up north.
The Farm hasn't planted anything yet this year, everything has been under water and a couple roads down there washed away.

 I do. If you have to stand in line to get it and its made within a couple minutes. Its fast food.
Although there's now 'casual' fast food places which totally screw up this theory.

Cool. I could eat some gyros right now! I just need to find a good fast food pasta place. I think I seen one at a mall before, but they pretty much served noodles and ketchup. Pizza is my fast food choice. I love that stuff! It is toxic too, but we all have our vices.

 I go to the Deli and order healthy sandwiches.  I guess under your theory, this place would be considered as fast food because I have to wait in line for my food.

 We wait in restaurants for our food to be prepared sitting in our seats.  So, how is it different than waiting in line standing up?  And, would buffets be considered fast food since you stand in line to get your food and that the food is already prepared?

 I think the definition of fast food in Vancouver compared to US is different.  And I agree with Michel.

That's casual fast food.
For example I had 'casual fast food' yesterday it looked like this:

There's not very many 'casual fast food' places in Vancouver yet. If they are they're independent mom and pop places that I haven't been to.

Think of Starbucks and how it looks and feels, then add a full line of deli, soups and a bakery and a glass of wine or beer and that's Casual Fast Food places.

to me, if there is a fireplace, couches, etc., if they are selling beer, that would be called a pub. Nothing better than a pub burger.

Fast Casual would be like Fuddruckers.  Generally healthy fare served up the same way as fast food.....like made in front of you deli-ish style.  Often upscale decor and ambiance.

Lots of ethnic take-out places in Vancouver- donairs, sushi, noodles, tacos, etc.  Pretty cheap...and for the most part healthy.  I'd rather get a $5 sushi box or a curry bowl than a burger combo.
 
 Though, I must sheepishly admit that the McAngus Burger is a good burger.
 If I needed to choose a burger, I'd pick BK.

I had a half cousin I didn't know existed until about four years ago. Long story but suffice to say it had involved stuff I never knew my grandparents were capable of.

  Boy, is it me or is it bloody cold today? *sniff*

  I tell ya.... my workplace gets weirder and weirder by the minute. I'm being torn by two good friends. On one hand I get along with co-worker A (we laugh, we have a good time) and on the other hand, I'm loyal to co-worker B (who's like a timid mouse). They don't get along with each other and it's gotten to the point where it's just plain ugly. I don't know..... I can't stand the way they would bitch about each other but have no choice. I keep saying, 'It's OK. Don't think too  much about it, it'll blow over etc. etc. etc." I won't say anything bad about the other because it's like betraying each other.

  WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST GET ALONG WITH ONE ANOTHER????!?!?!?!?!

Well, it's a bit different because it's family. These are women who have come together for 10 hours of the day and they don't like to be told what to do. I don't know. It's just a weird, weird situation that I find myself in. I want so desparately for everyone to get together but it's hard because nobody would listen to what the other person is saying.

  No wonder my supervisor is at her wit's end. She's lucky if she can survive one week without a complaint aimed at her.

Good morning!

  awwww.... I know what you're going through.  Is there anyway to do your work and kinda "ignore" the politics?  I had a few terrible situations at work where I would stress myself by bringing my work problems at home.  When I got to that point, I reminded myself that work is work and personal life doesn't equal work and the two shouldn't be together.  I started to leave work at work and not think about it when I'm home.  I feel less stressed now and if I do get something nasty, I have this "I don't give a F*CK" attitude.  I just do my work and go home.  Hang in there Lise. :)

  For you Lise.

  I'm the same Van.  Ever since I saw that program about how EASY it was to hack enough info for identity theft (the guy demonstrated and did it in less than 5 minutes).  There are certain things they look for.....and no...it makes no difference if you have it set for private.  I also find it odd how free people are to post photos of themselves....and worse....their kids.  

  My other concern is (and probably the biggest concern)..... there is nothing in place to prevent others from posting your photo (or your children's photos) without your permission.  The whole concept is odd to me....when you hear people rage against our privacy being slowly stripped away....and yet have no problem exposing what almost amounts to a diary for the world to see.  (I know....I'm a big ol fuddy)(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif) [/DIV]

I would also be careful about which wildlife pics you post, even though you have the copyright stamp on them.  Facebook still owns them, no matter what.  So technically, they could take your pic and sue you.  (as far as I've heard.)

  I thought about deleting my account, but deleting it won't affect much cuz a hacker can still retrieve deleted info.  (right?)

When you block someone, that person won't be able to find you, not even if you're a friend to someone she knows.  She won't see your posts on your friend's post who is friends with her too.  It won't stop others from finding you, only that particular person.  I've had to block someone because he was weird and freaky (sounds like your stalker)

  But, since you've already made up your mind cuz you don't need fb anymore, then that won't matter. (unless you decide to reactivate)

Evening fabulous folks. purelife, you're right - I really should adopt an 'I don't care, F***k you' attitude. Hmmm.... any pointers?

  Blasted tech at work. Idiota. Why do they give me these idiots to work with? I tell him something and he doesn't believe me. He asked a heck lotta OTHER people before doing the work with me like he was supposed to. What? Like I made it all up just to annoy him? Sheesh. Then he did his work half-baked. He's supposed to train with me but because I'm a nobody (in his mind) he doesn't have to listen to me. Stupid noob took off and left me to finish the work. Well, I didn't finish everything as I was too tired and too damn pissed to care.

  Left him a nasty surprise in the morning. He can bloody well finish up at his station.

That brings me on to something, I was reading in the Straight today about how Vision Vancouver could steam roll to victory in the elections this year. The writer came to the conclusion that all Vision had to do was make Ladner a Mao figure. lol

^ughh!

  Bagel and coffee is so good this morn.

Plans for the weekend?

Not  too much planned this weekend. A few friends over on Saturday. We are going to sit down with the map and make a rough plan for holidays. Maybe a couple cold brews.  My sis wants me to go look at her new motorhome too. Good excuse to stop by for a supper on Sunday.

Morning!  
 
 Haaaah!  We went to Crater Lake last summer.  It was a massive detour, our friends stayed on I-5 but Mr LM was hellbent and determined to get to Crater Lake, so we drove inland on secondary highways for hours to get there.  Then he ran around and took photos for 10 minutes only...I was sitting in the car and honking the horn...getting antsy because we still had like 6hrs of driving to get to our destination and it was getting late in the day...
 
 Then I got anxious because we dipped into Cali on the way to NV...I had no map of CA...just WA, OR, NV and UT.

Lise -

  I had the twitching thing too when I was really stressed and didn't sleep well.  I don't get them anymore now but last year, I had plenty.  Your work is getting to you, m'dear.  Once that happens, it'll affect the way you treat your loved ones, and that isn't what you want and they certainly don't deserve it.  I'm not saying that is happening with you right now, but work related stress does change your mood when you get home.

  I started to speak up for myself, Lise. If someone is treating me like sh*t and being rude, I'll tell it to their face.  I didn't care if you were my boss because I deserve respect.  These b*tches would talk down at you like you're "below" them.  Yesterday, my Supervisor sent me a panic email.  I had to guess what the cr*p she was talking about.  I actually told her in the email (politely and diplomatcally) to basically be MORE SPECIFIC so that I'm not left guessing what she wants.  When I started to stand up for myself and say what was on my mind to the person doing the harm, I felt better and was less stressed.

  G'luck.  and hang in there.

 Quickie here. How's everyone? My arms are stiffed from mowing the lawn. First time in ages I got to do this as it was too wet to do anything. Some 'carpet' plants are getting out of control, even my oregano. I'll have to chop them down a bit next time.

  I love my day off. There should be more days off for all of us.

  Ack.... assisting today....... I'm not looking foward to that. I can't suction, I can't pass instruments, I can't take radiographs any more!! Oh well, I guess I'm gonna have to 'wing' it.

Yes they do !  But beware....this is the ONLY bargains you'll find at Michaels.  That place is StOOpid expensive (with two O's).  I'm the opposite of Lil Me in the craft area....I'm allergic to NOT doing crafts.....lol.  Michaels is my 'last resort' place to purchase anything.  Even with their 50% off coupons, it still only almost brings it close to competitor prices.  

  Dollar Giant has great stuff for kids crafts.....beads, stickers, popsicle sticks and glues.  Foam shapes, wood shapes, kits for making dinosaurs, or wooden airplanes .....all kinds of goodies.

Ah crap, they raised the cresting of the river down at the farm above the 'critical' line. which means the farm becomes this fortress of closing all the gates on the highways. Like a walled area. Damn, we don't need this.

  Which reminds me, if anyone wants to get dentures (they have to have NO TEETH WHATSOEVER) I can get them in. Two full dentures which usually cost around $1,000 plus in private practise will set you back less than half price. So we're talking about $550 or so for both of them. Dead cheap so if you know anyone who needs dentures, PM me.

   Flood watch 2008
River crest at the farm keeps a movin up start of this week it was suppose to crest around 36 ft.  Now its at 40.8ft
The record is 49.7ft of a 50ft levee which was the massive flood of '93.

This levee is weak (its been poorly managed, the managers were convicted of fraud, never did the repairs or strengthened it and now are in prison), this thing will go in my opinion if the river gets anywhere near 45-47ft. The levee on the poor black side of river has been decertified (as has the farm) by the Corps. Hello New Orleans for these guys:

I remember  '93.  The water was right up  to the road on the top of the levee and water started seeping through.

Lol P.C.
We've got a lot of flood pics and videos from '93 and to be honest, it's like being at a funeral of a loved one when find all the funny moments hysterical and you start laughing. Like that picture. You've got to find laughter in everything or you're not going to survive major life events. When I die, if people aren't laughing about how funny I was/goofy I'm going to get out of the casket and tell everybody to straighten up and start telling SD stories. lol

Not worth buying the membership as we don't see the need to go there all the time. Lunch there was interesting. Can't believe I paid $2 for a hot dog and coke. My kids went nuts.

Heeeeeey!  I'm home.  Cider in hand now, shower in a few minutes.
 Had a fabulous weekend on the Sunshine Coast.  It actually was sunny...no rain at all.  Fun times- our group's year end Scout camp has all sections there, from little kids to teenagers.
 No major mishaps, didn't lose anyone to the bears.
 Had a bit of difficulty getting there on Fri- two of the vehicles (including mine) couldn't get reservations on the ferry, so we grabbed the youth and ran on board as foot passengers, leaving the drivers in the vehicles to go over on the late ferry.

 [a href="http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/fishcrafts/l/blspcrab.htm"]http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/fishcrafts/l/blspcrab.htm[/a]
 Never got around to doing this with the youth, so I have a surplus of supplies...
 
 As for how I do this...well, I just do... It's fun most of the time, and the rewards are pretty surprising and amazing sometimes.
 
 The downside: waking up at 4:30am Saturday because some Cubs were up and running around because it was daylight.  Sent them back to bed, but I couldn't sleep, so I was awake and dressed by 6am and breakfast wasn't 'til 8:30...
 Sunday morning one of my Beavers stumbled outside and couldn't find the bathroom at 1:30am...poor kid crying in the dark because she was lost, confused and had wet herself.
 
 The strange and yukky: one of the youth has an apparent incontinence problem of the uh, poopy variety.  For most of the weekend, the leaders were thinking that someone stepped in something, before realizing that we were looking for a SOMEONE, not a shoe.  This particular child had a parent in tow, so he was taken care of, I guess....I stayed out of the situation...and far away....

^Wow Lil Me! That sounds adventurous and exhausting!

I am tired today. Late night with a few friends, beers, music, (couple more beers).

  Met a sweet lady last night. Super nice, but not really into much other than let's see, going to the pub, watching TV, work...watching TV. Nice to hang out with for an evening, but found out quickly that she is not my type. Conversation was limited so there is no second date (or even a first date, I don't think last night counted...??). Ah well....NEXT!

  Just got back from my sister's. She made a turkey dinner. She had a turkey in her freezer she needed to cook, and wanted to do it before (if ever) the summer heat sets in. Fantastic supper!

  Long story short, I am tired, happy, and full of turkey. Excellent weekend.

Evening all

Aww that sucks Van, yeah I don't see you as a tv watcher on the weekends. bummer

Worked out for the 4th time this weekend trying to stay not bored.
Ran into an old football teammate, hadn't seen him in 6 years. He went division I after school, tried out for the NFL but got injured so he is going to try again this year. He probably wishes he was my height, he'd be a lock for some team on at least the practic squad. (corner backs, safety's are a dime a dozen, not so lineman/tight ends/defensive ends, defensive tackles, giant line backers). Oh what could of been...

Er.... OK, had I been in Lil Me's shoes, I would have run away a long time ago. Yikes, indeed.

  Hmmm..... hadn't had turkey in a long time. Come to think of it, the last time I had turkey was Christmas. I don't do turkey very well. There's something about the bird that scares me.....

  Hey SD, are you going to go back to Nanaimo?

Good morning Lise.  

 If you like turkey, but don't like the idea of a giant bird....get the turkey pieces.  I get the drums or thighs, and do them in the crock pot.  Delish.

Turkey rules! There is nothing better! Especially turkey sandys leftover.

We didn't do the classic Christmas style turkey meal. Basically just some mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, garden salad, watermelon for dessert. Turkey dinner, summer style!

Sounds like an interesting camp trip had by all!

  We went to the bird sanctuary and saw a few bald eagles and some interesting looking birds.  The walk was really peaceful and nice.  It was kinda romantic too. :)

  Last night, our Landlord ran two loads of laundry from 9:30 to 10:30.  *sigh*  Is it ok to tell them not to run it that late?  (nothing past 9pm?) We hear it so well downstairs and it keeps me awake.  They seem to do this once in a while.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Van on Jun 16 08 09:40
Of course it is ok to go tell them. Just politely ask them and they should understand. If they don't comply after that, I would take it to the next level and not be so nice from there on.

I don't mind turkeys I think i could kick the tar out of most turkeys - but i once saw a buzzard in the Gobi Desert that scared the $h*t right out of me - it was GIGANTIC - i was in a jeep and i was SCARED.(//forums/richedit/smileys/Shocked/3.gif)

Holy turkey, I thought I was the only one who's scared of the bird when it's alive. Well, I can tell you it's no beauty queen. We saw the male at Maplewood farm and it was HUGE. The fact that he's trying to impress the female next door didn't help either. Thank goodness he was confined though you could tell, he was getting quite frustrated in that department........(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

That reminds me of that clip of the news gal that was doing a story around Thanksgiving, and was being filmed in the middle of a ton of turkeys.  She ended up having a total meltdown.

  A couple years ago, we were sitting in the yard, when there was this huge commotion.  Huge birds swooping through our trees making an incredible racket.  We couldn't see the birds at first, except for the huge shadows.  We all walked up the path, and there were ginormous turkey buzzards all over the place.  The next morning, we walked up the tracks, and sure enough, there a dead deer there.

  Now THOSE are some kinda creepy birds....and [FONT size=5]BIG[/FONT].

I prefer the dark....more precisely, the thigh.  And my perfect turkey sammy is thigh and cranberry jelly.

  Well, I must get ready to go for another day of cleaning and packing at my neighbs place.  Just about everything I own is aching.  The only thing that would make a complete ache, would be a spin on a bicycle.

I love turkey.. especially the sandwiches later that night and for the next few days. I have been known to cook a turkey just for the meat for sandwiches.

  As for being scared of a turkey.. everyones got their fears and phobia's. Im not worried about a buzzard, but I am worried about other things.. Like running out of beer while camping. :)

  Im thinking sushi for tonight.. whats everyone elses plans.

 P.C.- I finally tried your poor man's lobster with the halibut- delish, even though I forgot to add the sugar.  
 Everything tastes better when dipped in melted butter!
 
 Question- is anyone familiar with a canned product called Chicken Haddies?  Mr LM used to eat it when he was a kid, and they don't sell it anymore.  It was some kind of processed white fish in a can.  You served it with a white sauce on toast.

My mom used to make Chicken Haddies when we were kids.  She used to scrunch the bread into a little cup shape in muffin tins, and fill them with the chicken haddie, bechemal sauce (white sauce) and peas and then bake them.  The bread would toast and stay in the little 'muffin' shape.  (*cry*....brings back 'mom memories'.)

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jun 17 08 09:39
Ok, I just asked Mr LM.
 
 His mom used to make a white sauce, then warm chicken haddies in it.
 For lunch: spoon it onto toast.
 For dinner: add pineapple "and other bits" into the sauce, then serve it on rice.
 
 The toast option sounds better to me!
 I'm wondering what to use instead of chicken haddies.  Smoked makarel in a can?

  I also guessed that it was an east coast thing......which it is.  I came across this site that has a product list......Chicken Haddie is on it.  (I have no idea where it is though....lol)

  I wonder if Mr. LM also remembers Lobster paste (another treat we had as kids.  Mom used to say that lobster to her was like balony, because it was regular fare where she grew up).

  That helps when you can use that time to do something of value.  I'm afraid I'd gouge my eyes out if I had to spend that much time on a bus at the end of a long work day.  Good for you for using the time well.

  I was actually painting over at my neighbours house.....and no.....my place isn't beautiful, but I like it anyway.  I save projects like painting for the winter months. (although with the weather the way it is, I'm confused as to whether I should start a painting project or not.)

    As for the turkey dinner......  As usual, I avoided the camera. ( I would be Grover. )

Hi everyone. BBQ chicken burgers for supper.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jun 19 08 07:23
Evening Miss LM and others!

  Today was a last minute rush with getting little insignificant things on the truck done like fill up the oil, fix the exhaust leak, put on some reverse lights.. But it runs good and shouldn't tear off a front shock this time out.

Stocking up on booze and a costco run for food in the next 20 minutes. Im thinking steaks, and chicken for dinners, with burgers and hotdogs for lunches.

  Chicken burgers sound good LM.. hey question for ya, where do you get yours and what are a good kind to get? One of buddies latest felines he's going out with doesnt eat beef so we are trying to think of alternatives. My suggestion of salad, carrots and ranch dressing the whole weekend didnt go over too well aparently.

  Talk to ya all later.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jun 19 08 07:35
Ground turkey and chicken mix together. Add in minced chicken, garlic, salt &amp; pepper, dash of chilli powder. Works well as a burger. The kids love eating this mix and as a burger.

  Metrotown is the place! I love this mall, I call it my hood. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif) Did the choo-choo train ride (twice), saw some dogs (kids went bonkers) and the Toys R Us run. Speed shopping thru T&amp;T then home and lunch. Totally exhausted - we slept for 1 hour plus.

  I don't know how anyone can do it day after day after day hanging out with children. They totally exhaust you.

  Silver fish (yes, complete with head, guts and all) in a batter paste (deep fried them) and roasted duck, leftover Thai curry for dinner. My hubby turned a shade green when I showed him the fish but who cares? They tasted delicious! (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/nahrung/f080.gif)

Post by: Van on Jun 19 08 07:43
Hi Russ. Not sure how Lil Me does the chicken burger? I buy fresh chicken breasts usually whatever store I am in at the time. I then use a glass container I have and marinade with a bit of olive oil, red wine, tiny bit of vinegar, and chicken and rib BBQ sauce overnight. Then when I cook them on med-low heat, I baste with the same marinade mix, but with a higher concentration of BBQ sauce.

  Add cheese, a multigrain bun, salad, baked potater on the side...and ice cold beer. If you don't have an ice cold beer, there is no point in anything really.

Do you mean your own? Or other children? I would say hanging out with your own children day after day after day is they way nature intended it for at least one parent. Having to have two paycheques just to make ends meet, while paying someone a major chunk of that pay cheque to babysit is far from natural.  But the new world is far from natural anyways.

I have two little ones of my own. Both young enough to drive anyone insane. The endless demands, the tantrums, the need to rush to the bathroom in 2.2 seconds of announcing. Is it worth it? Totally. I just wished I get paid for all this.

 I agree about the babysitting. It's such a waste of money to spend on babysitting. We're blessed because we have our mamma-in-law who watches them while we work. She's a true diamond. We saved on a lot because of her. Bloody expensive just to hire a nanny - it's something like $800/month to do so. Daycare is also like $800 to $900 per month which is ridiculous. And how much does the government gives? $200 per child. Not even enough to clothed and feed the child. *sigh*

  Sorry for vanishing like that - the loading time here was taking forever.

  Were you a problematic teen, Van? Did you give your parents a hard time? Speaking for myself, I think I wasn't a rebel kid. I was the *cough cough* good girl. The responsible one who had to grow up a bit faster because I had to take care of my little sisters. Our parents weren't with us when we migrated to Australia. We had to stay with our aunt who boarded and fed us but that's about it. She didn't want anything to do with us.

 Haha! I went through a phase. I wouldn't say problematic. Not to sound like I am 'telling', but my sister gave my parents some serious grief.  Of course after the teen years, my mom and her are best buddies.

You and your sister were rebels? C'mon... you seem like a well thought out guy. I couldn't imagine you being the rebellious teen there. What did you do that you would give them such grief? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)  An adventure? Nope, it wasn't really one but we did have our moments. We were pretty much left on our own. I had to dole out a bit of cash each week so it would last us, we would all go out to the city together (see the zoo, aquarium etc).... at one point, I had to teach them how to put on a bra and explain what a period is. My youngest sister burnt herself with hot water the other night and I had to change her bandages and bathed her.

 We were so young back then, we didn't have anyone else but each other. Times were tough but as long as we were together, we were fine.

Me? I was a normal Canadian boy. Full of testosterone and spirit.

lol, 'well thought out guy'. Of course those teen years were some time ago. Many moons!

  My sis on the other hand, I can't get into details. She is a sweet friend these days. She and my mom fought a lot. I woke up a few times in the middle of the night where my dad was pulling them apart from fighting.   Both black and blue the next day.

Like I said though, they are great friends now.  A decade and a bit later.

Tell me why should we bend our backs and go out of our way to do extra stuff for them when all they do is complain about the stupiest things? Had I been a supervisor I would have done minimal work for them. If they want us to go the extra mile, be NICE. Is that too hard to ask?

Good morning DS! I got packed and ready alot faster than anticipated.. I obviously have gotten better after years of packing as I have an empty toughtote and a space for it in my pickup box? Ah well.. I can put an additional three flats of beer in, can never go wrong with spares.

  Thanks for the ideas Van, Purelife, and of course the lady of the hour LM. We seem to have similar ideas there VAn.. unfortunately I had breasts already for her when we are having our costco sized steaks, so when we have burgers I wanted to get her authentic hacked up chicken for burger patties.

I did end up getting the Costco ones LM.. I have had them before and decided since we are kindred spirits at costco that you might have gotten them there.

The salmon burger patties ARE good there PL.. but the feminine creature that my friend is dating doesnt eat fish as well as beef. Dont worry, I have already told him to get rid of her as too much hassle. But Im not even going there with the veggie burger patties.. did I ever tell you the story about my Min Pin and a veggie patty? Well, to make a super long story short, my dog wouldnt eat it, then he did cause we pressured him into it and he puked. Thats enough info for me.

  Lise.. I will have to try what you suggested.. I dont know why but for some reason my brain never put together that burgers are chopped up beef so no reason they couldnt be chopped up turkey or chicken together. Oh and &lt;hugs&gt; dont worry about the people at work. At the end of the day you can go home and sit on the throne letting it go on them. Just think of what you are accomplishing for your kidlets...

  LM.. I can understand where you are coming from with the secret ops of mr LM. But you are a very strong and motivated person, with two zany kidlets that will keep you busy!

  OK, Im bored now. I have 1h30min to waste until picking up the tentacly starfish to head on out.

Welcome home, Michel.  Did you bring us any maple syrup?
 
 Had BBQ chicken from the StupidStore with an envelope of Swiss Chalet sauce, some veg, creamed corn, cran suace and Rooftop stuffing.  Lazy person comfort food!
 
 I'm a huge fan of the supermarket BBQ chicken.  Big cooked chicken for $7- it practically costs you that much to buy a raw one!  (unless you get the multipacks at Costco or T&amp;T).

 Labrador splitting from Newfoundland, I remember somebody talking about it. I still remember the Globe and Mail Photo journalist who went to a small town Labrador the town has no running water, they bathe in yellow watery crap, they don't have a road or anything. Absolutely beautiful area but when nobody anywhere in the country wants to help them, the place is just going to die. The funny thing, usually you'd see a story like this about a reservation, except this wasn't a reservation town.

Speaking of Newfoundland, how come they say 'newfernland' instead of 'newfoundland'? Isn't it odd? Like I would hear it the first time then shake my head and ask for a repeat.

Rocks, fishing and wilderness and funky names. Dildo, Newfoundland.

Cuz they're a funky breed of Irish and Bristol English, I think. Met a Newfoundlander on the ferry once. Gopher could help us on this.

My geography of Canada stinks. Nova Scotia is close to Newfoundland, right? It's a province right?

  We thought about a trip there once upon a time ago. Y'know, kinda like take the plane and head there, rent a car and see where we would end up. We were so close.... even got all the info online and twas a click away but then - we got pregnant...... ah well.

OK...

It's stuck on the prison island, it's raining all the time, there's no culture there since White trash losers destroyed the noble Native culture and it's 50 % more expensive minimum than any place that would be larger and better build in the rest of the country. These are objective reasons lol but I know that you have no choice already since your mind is set to stay there. Oh and the statue are kitch, typical vulgar type of "decoration". Lol that's not Villa Borghese in Rome, thats a stupid old fart/WASP North American middle class suburb.

Prices are dropping. Wait then buy it, you can then sell your place and pay a [SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: line-through"]rent[/SPAN] mortgage to the bank. Then the joy to destroy the warmth of your natural oak cupboard by hiding them under a thick layer of black paint is all yours. ah ah !

So did it help ? ah ah !


  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/8.gif)

  OK.....I'm already on the prison island and it rains at my house too.  This was no help.  

  If prices will drop on THAT place, then we can assume the prices will drop on MY place.  This was no help either.

  The statues are a little much.....I can give them to my neighbours.   It may be a suburb, but nestled in 2 1/2 acres of lucious trees, means I wouldn't have to look at it.

  You're not trying hard enough.

Okay, it doesn't fit you, the place has no trees, it's a sprawl home. Instead of a house nestled in a dense forest you'd be out in the open 'naked' with no privacy. Plus you'd have to deal with more traffic in suburbia, so peace and quiet will not exist anymore.

 After following the Doctor's orders for a relaxing weekend, I started to bleed more and we just got back from ER.  2.5 hours wait time and still didn't see a doc.  I had to leave because I was SO hungry and thirsty.  I couldn't wait any longer and they were SO DAMN RUDE!  We got home but I had already lost my appetite.  

I'm changing hospitals for delivery to BC Women's.  I can't wait for my scan tomorrow.  We are so scared but all we can do now is pray.

Falafel (sp?) for lunch.. now to finish the putting away of fire smelling camping stuff. Sand down and repaint the wakeboard tower on the boat, then pick up the beer keg.

  I also have a buddy flying in tonight and wants to go out for some beers.. Id rather not but Ive avoided him twice before so I think Id better at least show some face.

  Did anyone else get sucked into watching the two Conan movies last night? We were sitting in front of the tube for like four and a half hours after getting back last night.

 Sounds like you had a great weekend! I can't wait fot that campfire smell again! Maybe this weekend? Not sure of the plans yet. This lady friend I met wants me to stay in town and go to fireworks/drinks with mutual friends. I would rather get far away from the city and have drinks by the campfire. Couple days to think about it.

I missed out on the Conan movies. I love the first one. I always want to listen to old Maiden afterwards for some reason?

Actually I just checked, I'm not 'working' the Joss Stone night, I get some soul singer, great... well at least its free cheap thrills.

I know its Arab, which is the problem. If you want to sell that here in 'middle america' you don't call it by its real name. Either say its Greek food or a Chicken Wrap. Middle Eastern food isn't popular around here for the reasons I am implying. If they are only 'affluent' or 'liberals' eat it (the stereotype anyway).

There's food in Vancouver that I swear I can't find here. First this isn't a mecca for Greek food and there's only two Korean places and 3 or so Indian places. Then again this is area is little Mexico, little Italy and Irish themed pubs.

  No the 'intellectual' food or 'in' food is Afghan and Ethopian. Early 90s when the city was stayed alive because of the Bosnian wars. Bosnian was king in the 'intellectual' department. Seriously, this city needs to have a park, a monument, and name a neighbourhood after Molosvic and other beligrents. There actions saved this city. It actually grew in population during the 90s. lol

  Ok, im not getting anything at all accomplished this afternoon. Its pretty bad.. I drove my buddy to the airport and filled up my Tahoe with fuel (i had to swipe my CC twice!). Oh and I cleaned up some garbage from last night.

  I think Starfish is going to kill me, lol.

  I gots my 100 dollars of my money back today in the mail.. I wonder how much it cost to print and send to every person in BC? At least they are attempting to keep Canada Post people here working I guess.

From the dictionary of me:

'Intellectual food' - food that normally people of conservative values or kids whose mom gets happy when the boy cuts his hair from 3 inches in length or 'really long', to short don't eat.. Folks who aren't into new things, keep it simple and find exposure to new cultures interesting, from a book level i.e. library. On the flip side, 'intellectual eater' is someone who, eats these types of food only to then boast about going to these places in front of their 'uncultured' conservative friends to feed their sad little egos because they live in a Red State.  See Name: 'Food Dropping' p. 86.

  Have you ever considered the possibility that you are the only person who turns something like falafel into a debate over the political background (and hair length) AND personality of the person who eats it ?  You're really reaching here.  What a load of bunk.

  2nd year students looking worn-out and tired. They're like the most competitive bunch ever, like some were making teeth models till 11.30pm then wake up around 5am to study and go to clinic. And this is ONLY the 2nd year! Some awesome students, some already showing attitudes - man, imagine these guys out of university and into the world. We gotta shape them into caring dentists before they leave!

Yes, they're motivated and driven students, but it's also a big game.....  I've played "the game" myself (not in dentistry, lol)-- and yes, to an outsider looking in, the keeners look like freaks.  It's really difficult to keep your life in balance-- as your field of study can become your only outlet for socializing, recreation, etc.
 
 These kids will become normalized sooner or later--- after they graduate and get on with their lives.

Hello everybody.

  I had some IPS for lunch.  For those of you who aren't 'in the know'....that's Intellectual Potato Salad.  (I feel smarter already).  I also had some baby cukes......they're not really all that smart, but I ate them anyways.

   Hullo miss PL! Hope alls well with ya.

I almost had the same thing as you this afternoon.. but I had a Surrey run for a new driveshaft and ended up getting that Donair thingy.

  Dinner will be HArveys... It was funny when we were wandering around teh Rona and Home Depot cause we saw one of my old HS shop teachers. Actually it was kinda sad cause he recognized me after I recognized him.

Good morning Van.  Having a little nectar of the Morning Gods myself.....and it is tasting fine.

  I can't get over the wind we are getting over here.  EVERY night the blasted wind kicks up.  It doesn't matter if it's sunny or rainy, but around 4 or 5 the wind starts howling, and goes all night.  I think it may have something to do with the buffoons who are clearing trees out on the acreages behind us.  It's still windy right now.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/traurig/a015.gif" border=0]

Funny you should say that Van.....I just looked in to that a week ago.  Free unharnessed energy passing us by daily.  Hydo bill is through the roof.....but a wind tower is very expensive.  I looked up the possibility of making one, but it's way beyond my expertise....and you still need to purchase the most expensive part, even for a hand crafted one.

Oh yeah, it is nuts how much the price of 'going green' is. That, and think how much energy it takes to create a wind turbine. Long term, it might pay off? Not sure how long something would last, maintenance, etc.?

It's a shame it's so pricey.  Rural areas could contribute to hydro.  It would look pretty unsightly in the cities, but would be fine out of the city limits.

It is like the Pincher Creek area of Alberta. It is turning into a sea of turbines. Looks interesting. Very good spot for it too. That valley, the wind never really stops. Lots of money to be invested in it too there.

Good morning Fellow DS'ers! Nectar of the Gods sounds good as well! Im joining You.

  As for wind/solar etc power.. I discovered a new site that seems to be getting more and more info.

  [A href="http://www.gasstinks.com"]www.gasstinks.com[/A]

  I was actually seriously looking into Solar heating for my hotwater, hot water heating, and hot tub heating. Supposed to reduce your yearly costs for this by up to 50%.

I also was looking at solar power, where whatever we dont use, you sell back to the power company on the grid. Right now it would cost about 50k to install.. but theres a company that now makes much more durable solar cells, at like 1.25 a watt, where the current ones are almost 7 a watt. [A href="http://www.nanosolar.com/index.html"]http://www.nanosolar.com/index.html[/A]

Its backlogged, so in about a year when it gets its bigger factory made it should get cheaper. At that point it would cost about 8-9k to install a full solar system...

Is it viable in BC ? Not too much sun.  
   A website I found from BC states that we get 6% less overall sunlight than florida. Or at least enough light to use solar.

  Solar hot water is a growing industry around the world and not just in sunny, tropical climates. Japan and Germany are currently world leaders in solar markets, yet our BC climate shows greater solar potential than both Tokyo and Berlin. In fact, the solar potential in Vancouver is only slightly less than that of Miami, Florida. Miami has greater consistency of solar potential from month to month, however taken across a whole year, Vancouver's annual daily average solar energy production is only 8% less.

Just got a call from my hubby's auntie. Apparently her hubby fell down the stairs. Fractured his pelvis. We had to go to the hospital and there's not much they can do except lie him in bed and wait for the bone to heal. Kinda scary thinking about how fragile your body really is when you age. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)

  So.... I was kinda shocked that my co-worker, a person I thought I could trust backstabbed me on Wednesday. Apparently my words were insulting to her and all I said was jokingly, "Oh you're so full of hot air." Then she runs off to the supervisor and told her that I said this and that. Then she approaches me at the end of the day and said she told the supervisor and what I said was insulting and blah blah blah. I was taken back. I had no idea. I did apologized but was hurt and angry.

  I have NEVER NEVER complained to my supervisor about anyone. Sure, I do get pissed of and what-not but I never complain about anybody to her. I've always maintained that if you work hard, put your head down and don't give anyone grief, you would be OK. Boy, was I wrong! Even if you don't say anything, you still get the sh*t.

  Well, I'm going to talk to my supervisor tomorrow just to let her hear my side of the story. I just can't believe this place. It's a fracken hell hole.

Poor Lise. After reading all your headaches from since I have been on DS, my advice to to get the heck out of there and move on. Sounds like a poor environment to be working in. Life is too short and only you can make the difference. Waiting around for things to get better is like waiting around the gas station for the price of fuel to come down.

Good morning Van.  I too think life is too short, to spend it dreading the next day.  Liking the job is unfortunately only half the battle.  I think you can get satisfaction from doing anything well.  It's the quality of the interaction with the people you work with that makes the difference.  I STILL miss my job, but I don't miss the crap for a second.  When the good part of your day is overshadowed by the crap, it just seems like another day wasted.  It became all about 'getting through another day', which is no way to go through life.

Costco has four packs of Clamato on sale right now.. I stocked up.

 Lise.. I know what you mean, at the end of the day you have to decide if its worth the aggravation mentally and financially. It really depends on each situation. Keep your chin up girl! (and stick your foot out when the cunt walks by!!)

 So.. I was up to 2 am yesterday eve after getting back from a stupidstore/costco/wallyworld run. Getting ready for the houseboating trip. Bought a huge sirloin hunk that was uncut.. hacked it up into 24 various sized steaks, threw out like a quarter of it which was fat and junk, then kept the smaller than steak sized bits so I could do the bits o steak wrapped in bacon morsels. Marinated in the lovely sesame garlic teriyaki sauce.. mmm.

 This morning after being rudely awakened by the blasted pigeons again that are trying to nest everywhere.. we decided when we were redoing the canvas on the boat that we would attempt to shoot the ones under our garage overhangs with a paintball gun. Well, we did better than we expected when that little shithawk showed up, and lets just say the cat has a new toy right now. The others haven't reappeared either.

 Ok, gotta go back to playing with the boat.. Just dropped in to say, 'Hi!'

Morning!  Slept in today (8:30am) for the first time in eons.  It was magnificent.  Heckyl and Jeckyl are on holidays, so our schedule has eased up a bit, though we still have a lacrosse tournament through the weekend.
 
 Russ- thanks for the tip about the 4-pack of Clam.  I might just do that, though I'm trying not to stockpile (hahahaha), since we could be moving if our place ever sells.  I've not bottled any more wine, I'm giving away my cases of empty wine bottles, and I'm trying to eat canned and frozen goods up.  I'm using my paper towels sparingly, since I'm down to the last few rolls in the case, haven't bought any more plastic wrap, using lots of take-out napkins, and using kleenex that I swiped from a hotel earlier this year....anything to avoid buying cases and cases of crap.  (except the TP, which is pretty bital...still buying cases of that...)

Ya gotta eat! Food is important! Sleep is too. I think I am crashing early tonight. I got a big Saturday ahead of me of BBQs, beers, and mischief!

  Happy weekend to all. Hope everyone gets some time this weekend to catch up with friends and family.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did.  Old man won't pay a nickel for building materials.
 
 Actually, he started making wine in the basement-- and he bought a TON of wine kits on sale.  The in-laws don't drink much, so I imagine he's going to hoard the wine for the next 20 years.

At least over yonder you can actually see the animals up close and personal. We were several inches from an orang utan who just sat by the window, looking at anyone. Dunno who's more curious, the primate or us.

  Pike Place Market was soooo crowded. Too many ppl again. We couldn't even stay around to see the fish being tossed. Just wanted to get the hell out.

  Good coffee down in Seattle. Very nice. Starbucks is EVERYWHERE! Couldn't believe my eyes cause you see SB every five seconds. Everyone's either holding onto a SB latte/frap/whatever or line-ups out the door. These ppl are caffeine crazy!

Hi everyone.

We're having a great long weekend so far.  We swam at the outdoor pool at Stanley Park, went for a bike ride at the trails and discovered a nice local farm market that opened up recently.  I love this new farm market.  All the fresh fruit and veggies... loaded up the fridge with just about every fruit out there. :)

We wanted to get the tower fan at Costco but they were all sold out.  I hope they're going to get some soon.

Lise - how much was admission at the Seattle zoo?  Was it far from the Space Needle?  And it's really better than GVZoo?  We went to the GVZoo and we weren't impressed.  And, it was really expensive.

PC - I've never seen your garden before.  Will we get to see some pics one day?

Hey purelife!  Sounds like a great weekend.
 
 I'm also without fans.  I have a couple, but they're packed away in my shipping container in Delta :(

Totally worth it to go to the Woodland Zoo. It's much superior than the GVZoo but smaller. You can take a lotta good photo shots there as some of the exhibits do not have fences so unlike the GVZoo, you can see the animals up close and personal. The only thing I didn't like is the crowds. I would recommend that you go during the off season days when it isn't so hot and crowded.

  The highlight was the giraffe feeding. The kids got to feed the giraffes though we had to pay $5 each. Under 2 years old is free. Bloody rip-off but if you've never fed a giraffe before, it's worth it.

  Woodland Zoo costs us about $15.00/person plus $4.50 for parking. Food-wise, you should pack up your own lunch but you can defnitely get burgers (mediocre), turkey hot dogs, pizza whatever there. EDIT: Forgot to add, if you get their pamphlet at the hotel, they'll give you $1.00 off per person.

  Qui, very far from the Space Needle. You would need to take a car or public transport there. Getting there isn't so bad but it's quite a drive from downtown Seattle.

Post by: Lise on Jul 01 08 07:45
I've several fans blowing throughout the house. This heat is unbearable especially at night!! Waaah! I don't know how Lil Me can make it without a fan in sight.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 01 08 07:54
lol.....the 'garden' itself isn't that great Lise.  It's small, and mostly in pots.   When I refer to working in the 'garden', I'm usually referring to the whole property.  If I actually spent all the time I talk about spending in the garden, one would think I had a Buchart going on here.  (but it still looks purdy)(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  edit:  I'll take some pics today.

  The zoo sounds pretty good Lise.  I'm one of those people who is mixed over the zoo thing.  As much as I ache when I see animals penned up, I am selfishly thankful, that I get to see animals I would otherwise never get to see.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jul 01 08 07:57
Well, I bet it's better than any garden. I've not much success with pots. Dunno - any tips on what to put into pots? Plants that'll grow back next year and don't require much?

  Have you planted strawberries in pots? I've always wanted to do that but unsure of what to do.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 01 08 08:02
Strawberries do great in pots.  As a matter of fact, I prefer them in pots, because they have a tendancy to take over.  Tomatoes as well.  You can get the kind that will trail instead of growing upright, so great for a hanging pot.  Snow peas in pots too....with a trellis.

  If you have some shady areas, Hostas do great in pots, and are perennial.  Heliboris also does great in pots (also perennial and also like shade) and they bloom beautiful flowers in FEBRUARY if you can believe it.....and are still in bloom now.

I think there was a party last night near by that kept me up 'till 2am.  :(

I don't think we're joining the festivities this year (I'm not in a celebrating mood).  We're just going to take it easy and hoping that I can pick up some work summer clothes.  MrPL desperately needs shorts.  He was riding on the bike with his jeans and one leg side ripped.  We're probably going to the bike trails again. :)

BIG GIANT HUG TO PURELIFE.

  Hmmm..... that strawberry idea sounds neat. I think I might start on it fairly soon. I do love watching them bloom and produce little fruits. I've planted them on the ground before and you're right about them taking over, PC. I still think they're lurking somewhere in the garden even after I've pulled them out.

  Hostas? I've come across them before and they seem like an easy-to-take care of. Haven't thought of tomatoes in pots. I thought they required a lotta work - seemed like the fussy type to me. Would you recommend that you grow them from seeds in packets or buy them at the nursery?

Post by: P.C. on Jul 01 08 07:05
 Hostas are great for neglectful gardeners, or those without a lot of sun.  They're drought tolerant, so you can get away with forgetting to water.  Tomatoes are pretty much no fuss.  Get starter plants Lise....our growing season is a little too short for tomatoes from seed, unless you start them indoors (or a greenhouse) in February.  Plant 'em, stake 'em, water 'em, fertilize every few weeks......that's it.

  The area by the workshop and the dining area used to be a huge cedar deck.....but I ripped it out a couple years ago.  It took a beating when we had a big 'digger' on it looking for our septic tank.....lol.  Happy for now with the bark mulch.....I may do a stone patio to match the walkways.

Hey everyone!
 
 Lovely blooming pots, P.C.
 
 Hope purelife and Mr purelife had a nice chill day.
 
 Went to Canada Day fireworks out here in the 'burbs.  Love these community events, because your friends and neighbours are ALL there.  Like everybody you know in the 'hood.  Live music, great bevvies in the wide mouth Nalgene bottle...what's not to like?
 
 Been pacing myself!!! Drinking since early afternoon in the heat of the day, but still hiked about 5km, went swimming, went out for dinner, and went to fireworks and back.
 
 Maybe I'll get lynched for saying this on Canada Day...but that pisswater American beer is very refreshing indeed...

You drinking my hometown stuff or the enemy (Miller, Coors)?

lol speaking of drinking, a childhood friend of mine decided to tell the world that she's had a crush on me since the second grade. lol hilarious. It was for about 40 minutes "I love you SD" over and over again. hilarious.

Thanks for the garden tips, Ms. PC! I will try the tomatoes and see what happens. The girls might get a trill out of watching it grow. Will get hostas too, seems like a good tolerable plant to try. LOVE (PLUS PLUS) your garden pictures. Must required a lotta work by the look of it.

  Is it too late to grow peonies? I keep seeing them around and they look soooo pretty.

  We didn't do much on Canada Day. Hubby kept saying it's too hot and he's too tired. Bummer. I did grill some hamburgers though.

Good morning !  Another gorgeous day on the horizon.

  'Burb' events are fun Lil Me.....a real sense of community.  You gave yourself quite a workout.......WOW.  I didn't partake in any event, especially the 5k hike.....yet I'm stiff as all get out this morning.

  Lise.....it's probably a little late to start a garden now....although you might be able to pick up a few left-overs and some perennials at your garden shop.  Cut off for planting is usually around end of May.  If you want the kids to grow something for the fun of watching it grow, get some radish seeds.  They grow so rapidly, that kids get to see their results quickly.

  Peonies are lovely.  Mine is doing good with foliage, but I see no flower buds yet.  Hmmmm

Evening all. A friend of mine mentioned that peonies take at least two years before they start blooming?

  Anyways, looking at one side of my garden... pitiful. All I'm successful is - growing more weeds. Ah well, at least they've got some pretty colors.

  BORING at work today. Nothing happening. I'm down to scraping gunk off the kits. Bloody waste of my time. *sigh*

  That's true for a lot of plants Lise. But at a good garden center, you can get plants that are matured....so you don't have to wait.  Like asparagus, which takes a couple to 3 years, you can buy 2 or 3 year old 'roots'....no waiting.[/DIV]

 My grandmother moved into a seniors' home today, so she's in the 'hood with me.  We've spent the better part of the last two days with her.  So hard to give up your independance, but I think she'll enjoy "retirement" living- own apt, but meals and cleaning provided....she's 90 years old...so it's about time for her to take it easy.
 
 Worked out in the taekwondo gym with a bunch of "kids" tonight.  Bunch of black belts who are half my age.  Ulp.  That was a cardio conditioning challenge in the heat, but I made it!!!  Harumph.   Time for another pisswater American beer.

Because of all the rain we haven't had any real heat this year. Its only hovered around the lower to mid 30s. Strange.

I did my civic duty! Signed up 4 people in 20 minutes to vote. I've never seen one community so fired up to vote around here. Obama's going to get 99.8% of the african american vote and if they turn out as much as they're pumped over this. Missouri will go blue.

Felt good to say I was from St. Louis. Only in St. Louis though would the riverfront parking garage at Laclede's be flooded on the first level, but the next 4 are still good, so let's have people park there.
I'd like to work for Obama in his Missouri Headquarters but the office is downtown and that's a lot of gas. Metro Link doesn't go where they put the office. Its in the no man's land so to speak before you get to the depressing area.

  Had a wacky discombobulated day.  The real estate showings are starting again, cuz we re-listed the place with a reduced price.  Still unpacking grandmother at the Seniors' home and clearing out the old apt.  Yesterday I.....nearly took Jeckyl to a bday party on the wrong day (it was supposed to be today).....and I returned to my car at Thrifty Foods to realize that I hadn't parked in a "spot".  Oooops.  I had left my car in a narrow driving lane, in between the cart return and another bank of parking spots.

  Had mom and grandmother for over for dinner.  Chicken, veg pizza, salads.

That's a weird day for you, LM. Just be thankful you left the house with clothes on. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Forgive me.... I'm so out of the loop and am trying to catch up with the Lunch Thread but why are you selling your grandmother's place? Or is it your place?

  Yesterday we went to my husband's aunt's place to move the bed downstairs for her husband. He's returning to the house some time this week after fracturing his pelvis. The place is oh so gross. Her vacumn cleaner broke down like two months ago and she hasn't been cleaning the place up. It was disgusting. We had to bring our vacumn cleaner along so we can clean the living room then move the bed downstairs. At least the place is somewhat decent for him to come back. We're going to have to buy them a vacumn cleaner soon.

  Went to Home Depot as well. Wanted to buy those sprays that get rid of clovers and whatever from your lawn but they've outlawed it here in Burnaby. Seems the chemicals get into the system. Just my luck. Gonna have to go manual and weed out the crap from the lawn. Wonder if Home Depot in Richmond or Vancouver have that spray? I won't be going crazy and spraying the entire garden just a few spots......

Good morning Miss Lise and Lovely LM.. What a great day for coffee!

My cat thinks its a good day too, been snacking on my bowl of cheerios when I havent been watching.

  Lise, chemicals are illegal in vancouver as well, we were the first to outlaw stuff that works to satisfy the tree humpers. I wasnt aware that burnaby had done that as well, but Ritchmond Im sure still has chemicals. I am not advocating using chemicals on your lawn because that would be wrong and illegal &lt;smirk&gt;, but Im with you on self removing weeds on your lawn.

  Dont worry LM.. your lovely fur will make it all better :) Good luck with the real estate stealersmen.

  Today is getting appointments for things I need to do, as well as start to organize stuff Ive been putting off.

  My place is for sale.

Moving the grandmother is a separate project entirely.

  Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!

Dinner at Foo's Ho Ho on Pender last night.  I just love old skool Chinese food.  Brings back childhood memories *sniff* of long summer days followed by dinner in Chinatown.

Restaurants like Foo's are a dying breed. This is the type of Chinese Restaurant I grew up with that sadly no longer exists. Others that come to mind are the Dragon Inn and Renfrew Drive Inn and BC Royal Cafe. This is old style Chinese Canadian Food that is homestyle cooking. It's not fancy Hong Kong Style Chinese food but food that the earlier Chinese Immigrants pre 1967 brought to Canada. It is tasty, simple and unpretensious. Sure it's located in Chinatown and not "high class" but it's decent and fills your tummy. At my last meal I had the Lemon Chicken, Beef Chop Suey and Curried potatos and chicken. I especially liked the curried potato dish. If you go there you will notice alot of "older" Chinese people and whites who remember the "old" Chinatown of the 50's and 60's dining there because it's the only restaurant that still offers this type of Chinese food.

Yay! I love summer.

  Kind of shoving work to the side these days. Got the big projects finished and just odds and ends. July is my offical slacking off month. Spent 3 hours at a coffee shop patio today just watching the girls go by.

  I am unofficially on holidays, and offically on holidays in 4 days.

Good times, Van.  Cheers to beers and a great July!!!!

  I had a brutal afternoon.  Trying to clear out the grandmother's old apt.  She has so much sh*t piled up, and it has to go out....she was physically trying to wrestle hat boxes away from me, yelled at me for trying to get rid of an enema kit (new in box!)...it's pretty hilarious, actually.  She feels out of control, so she's just letting off steam by yelling at everyone.

  The maddening part is the relatives who are totally useless.  The ones who don't help, but stand around and whine and complain about their own problems....when the original problems with the grandmother's living situation were largely their fault to being with. It's unbelievable.

  I felt like drinking hours ago, but I'm going to go work out at taekwondo instead.  Then drink afterwards.

Hey, bless you, Russ! I'll go to Home Depot in Richmond when I get the chance. I need to just put out a bit of spray here and there, tis all.

  Ah, sounds like you're having fun at your grandmother's, Lil Me. The trick to moving her stuff is to get her to go somewhere else. Tell someone to take her to go shopping or something like that then move her stuff out when she's not looking. You know how it is with the older generation, cranky as hell. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Umph. I wanna holiday as well.........

  Today's potluck at work. I've made a vegetarian red curry dish then just realized this morning I forgot to add in palm sugar. Oh well. It still tasted OK tho. I'm just hoping ppl at work would bring other stuff than stupid salad and dessert. The last time we had potluck there, everyone brought in salad and dessert.

 Russ, I get these phone calls from my mom for the most part, in this case, she just worries a lot. I always say I'm not a kid anymore, I'm (insert age) and I'm doing fine. Anyway, your dad shouldn't talk to Starfish like that, you've got to tell him straight so to speak, drill it in until he gets the picture. If he doesn't get it, don't answer his calls.

Gosh. Super windy. Took the kids to Science World today. You would think there'd be NOBODY going as it is as weekday. DEAD WRONG. OMG. Bloody crowded, tons of kids.... they're all part of this stupid summer camp thingy. Who the hell takes kids on a camp trip to Science World??? Should they be out in the bush wacking racoons or something like that??

  On top of it, my admission cost an extra $3.00 to go see the stupid Disney-sound exhibition which I might say is totally DISAPPOINTING. Nothing to experiment really and with tons of kids around, you don't really want to wait in line to press a button that goes 'beep'.

  Well, at least the wee ones had fun with the water experiment. Even then it was super crowded. I can't believe how some kids are so mean. They pushed my little girls out of the way, took the balls from their hands and NOT ONE DAMN parent in sight to tell them no. I felt like saying, 'hey, don't do that, it's rude' but of course, refrained.

  Kids. As Russ would put it, 'Yaarrgh!!'

To keep it in the ideals of good taste Im thinking about getting him one of those blow up dolls with those art only holes all over them.

 The only problem now will be if Starfish agree's with me on this ideal gift.

Morning, weird night. Had to call the cops on two people that it looked like a woman was being assaulted. Crazy. And somebody is officially clueless. My cell phone number is close to retirement home or nursing home. This woman always calls looking for someone. She's done this 4 times now. She calls, I said it's the wrong number, she goes sorry, then calls me not a minute later looking for her person, but didn't realize she was calling my cell. How can you forget in less then a minute not to call that number that isn't to the retirement centre? Then say the same thing of "Is (name) here?" Hilarious only if I wasn't woken up by it.

Morning Mr. Sawdust. Well, it's quite a change for the older one. A year ago, she wouldn't even touch her feet in water or go near it. Now that her wee sister has charged in without so much as a second thought, she feels obligated to go in. Now they both adore the water.

  I'm the total opposite. I cringed at entering the water. Not because I'm scared of water but I can't help but think about the zillion micro-organisms that live in there. Can't help it. I'm getting to be a germ-phobic!

I was going 15kph under the speed limit on that section where the road becomes a cart path. The guy just zoomed by with no fear. crazy.

  Nice to hear from you, Michel. I was wondering where you were. I know about speeding on highway... I try to remind hubby that we have to be careful because we have two lives that depend on us. I also hate speed drivers who don't give a frack about ppl anywhere.

  Went strawberry picking today. We couldn't manage 3 lbs of strawberries. Hubby got extremely tired and dizzy in the hot sun so we only got 1 lb but didn't want to pick any more. Waste of money but at least the kids had fun and the berries are the sweetest I've ever tasted. If anyone's interested in picking strawberries, head down to W &amp; A Farms in Richmond. Excellent place. [A href="http://www.bcstrawberries.com/index.php"]List of strawberry farms.[/A]

I 'hit' my limit at the end of trips. A couple years ago I went from Breckenridge, Colorado at 10am to Ft. Collins at 7pm ish, then all the way to Salina Kansas (all motels were full) (half way through Kansas) at around 2am. I was fine until the next day, driving home from KC I couldn't drive anymore half way through Missouri.
Same thing happened on the drive up to BC this winter 4pm-Midnight (Stl-Salina) 5:30am-8pm (Salina to Rawlins WY) 5:30am-1am (Rawlins WY to other side of the mountains in Washington) 7am- to 10am Seattle, walked around, then went to the outlet malls, got to the border at around 4pm. Physically couldn't drive anymore once I got to Vancouver.

So I don't get tired, I just physically shutdown/quit. This happened in South Dakota after driving around with the windows down in the Black Hills. Wind in my eyes for long periods of time = sleepy. So I stopped in the grasslands and took a nap for an hour and a half, was perfectly fine for the rest of the day.

My cousin went on a float trip in the other state known as Mizzurah yesterday, float trips here aren't about nature, but about getting completely wasted on a fast river current, flashing people and throwing water balloons that don't have water in them but pee and drowning (happens a couple times a summer).

Exactly. No one wanted to wait forever at the traffic lights and you know it is when you're driving downtown and pedestrians seem to think they owned the streets. It's chaos even when the traffic lights are working.

  Just heard on the radio that power is still out and not expected to be fixed by afternoon. Ugh. Good luck to the commuters! Told hubby to just take the day off or take transit downtown. No point in stressing out.

Last year a power station here blew up, along with a crucial power line and everything in the area went pitch black, including the street lights for two nights. We could see the stars for the first time ever. lol
Looked like you were driving through town in an apocalyptic movie. Everything closed, no cars on the street. Somebody did a sci-fi movie that's played on the Sci-fi channel every once in a while where the city of St. Louis is blown up.

Hahaha, that's rural midwest, I'm in 'urban' midwest, which means people scared of their own shadow and every movement you take revolves around checking Fox News for the Terrorist Attack Alert Level. Don't go out if its Orange, hide in the basement.

 Didn't see the film, hate Tom Cruise. But i think it was suppose to be Chicago? Anyway the midwest in general is scared of its shadow. Which is why if you take public transportation here cops are carrying automatic weapons, you can't make a joke about the Arch falling down in the wind or you will get arrested for suggesting you are a terrorist, and any suggestion of talking to people about train travel leads to the inevitable 'terrorists can easily blow the trains up'.  Yes, terrorists are going to come to the midwest, in the middle of nowhere and blow up a train. Then you've got the people who are scared of their backyards, thinking terrorists are hiding in the bushes.

Oh great, there was a double shooting just now at the old 'white' mall in St. Louis County, just popped up on MSNBC. The mall used to cater to the white population as the old white mall went black. So the white establishment built this huge mall in the middle of nowhere, but there was a fight at the movie theatre, so they've banned teens from going in it. Stupid county and its malls with a racial identity. eyeye

add: guy shot his gf then shot himself. Typical shooting.

Ah yes, I remember growing up the 'Soviets are attacking' drill the air force base would do every Monday. They'd fly their planes around at 'emergency speed'. Constant drills, etc. Now its all about the muslims or as my Uncle says "the terrorists within our country, turban heads".  idiots.

When the US had its 300th million resident born, he proclaimed that it was a probably a "dirty turban head terrorist or a dirty mexican". And to think he calls himself a 'compassionate conservative'. hilarious.

Yaaa! Survived assisting. Funny thing is I absolutely refused to assist 100% of the time. Hehe. Poor guy. I must have left him hanging several times. The thing is when you come to do emergency dental work, don't do too much. We can't save everyone's tooth in the time given. Sad but true. Ah well.

  Worst part for him is that the poor guy doesn't even get paid to do this. I feel so sorry. Doing your residency here sucks but at least it'll look good on your resume.

Hmm.... I should be a bit more clearer. These patients who come into UBC have already been screened and for the most part are on-going patients for the students. There are a handful who haven't been to UBC in years and only come in when they have a toothache. Money and fear are usually the two reasons why they don't come earlier.

  So we categorized them as 'emergency' patients. Since we cannot see everyone as we are technically on summer break, we cannot turn away patients because they're in pain or something's bothering them. The thing is, we're not a private practise, we cannot offer them the best treatment in the time given. The dentist who are seeing these patients are usually part time or doing residency etc.

  We can only offer them pain relief (i.e. antibiotics or extractions) till the clinic is in full swing in September. The only option is to send them off to a private practise. It's a hard thing to do but we cannot treat every cases on the spot.

Well, on one hand, Michel, these patients are getting some type of treatment done. It's better than nothing and they are supervised under the watchful eyes of the instructors. If dentists and doctors don't get patients to practise on, how can they go out into the real world and work on the rest, right? Tho.... sometimes I just cringed at how some things are handled.

Good morning everyone!  Hi Lise.

  That sounds like a very pleasant hike, Michel and a great weekend.

  A colleague brought in hand-picked raspberries and blueberries for us.  They were delish!  They tasted better than Costco's.  

  I'm leaving a bit early and sending the car to the mechanic.  It's very convenient that this mechanic is a few blocks down our road.  We've never been to them so hopefully, it's a good experience.

BBQ's and such for stuff to do.

I agree with 49er PL.. more than likely a water pump. The rebuilt is a good cheap alternative to a new one.

  Summer showed up.
Heat Advisory is out for us, no more then 15 minutes outside at a time. Heat Index of 41.
To celebrate some guy started shooting at this house, blew up this truck, shot 3 police officers and killed a firefighter. Now parts of the area are a in lock down, they think the guy is still in this house, it's been 8hrs, I doubt it.

   
lol for lunch I had the same thing pl, minus the plum. Left overs from the weekend.
The buzzer sound can't be lowered volume wise, it only has one setting.

Alarm buzzers are up there with air raid sirens and ambulance noises I remember from 9/11

  Indeed. Heat Madness 2008 has started.
30-40 cop cars are still standing outside this house, the shooting happened at around 6am. You'd think they'd realize the person is obviously not in the house right now.

Add: they think the shooter died in the fire, yet they still have the road closed, which is all St. Louisans care at the moment. We are a weird bunch, who cares if a 22 year old fire fighter was killed, I want to get home on time. (Same thing happened last week when a trucker ran over 12 cars and killed a bunch of people on the interstate).


That's two strange summer stories in a week, it's officially crazy heat days.

Although today's rampage didn't happen in the 'city' it happened in a suburb. So far this year the crazy stuff has happened in suburbs.

Good morning everyone!  Happy Tuesday indeed.

  I had a yummy dinner last night with salmon and mixed greens salad with avocado and cranberries.  The best thing about the salad was that it was from the garden!  I love garden veggies. :)

  I found out that our car is ok afterall.  It just needed a new cap because the current one didn't seal properly.  That was why it was leaking green liquid and bubbling/steaming.  They're just running some diagnoses and filling up the coolant.  Boy, am I happy to hear that it wasn't a big thing.  

  Oh and guess what?  WE'RE GOING CAMPING!   My first time.  We're going up to Hope with Mr PL and his mom and her hubby and his sis on the weekend of my bday for 3 nights.  I am super duper excited.

If you look at St. Louis crime stats. Yes. More murders, weird stuff, crimes happen in the Summer. Its part of the history here. We never have riots in the Dec. its always June/July/Aug/Sept.

I don't remember mass sit ins by civil right activists in January or a riot in Feb. But I do remember people storming a church because the new police chief was white in March once.

 Through June of this year
86 murders
117 rapes
1,244 robberies out of which 799 were armed
2,060 assaults 1,063 were with a gun
3,939 burglaries
8,279 larceny
2,610 auto theft
151 arson
Victims of Crime: 3,507
Property Crime Total: 14,433
Total Crimes committed: 17,940

Hmm out of the two Neighbourhoods I'd live in
2 of them don't have any murders but 4 rapes
1 has 2 murders (rich area)
Still the safest neighbourhoods are the gay neighbourhoods. lol No crime happens there for some reason.(murder wise) one part of tower grove had 5 rapes and another had 2. But still, that's super safe.

23 people were murdered in June
17 murdered in May
16 in April
7 in March
14 in Feb.
9 January


rather safe city then what it used to be.  pop. 347,181 (used to be 800,000 but after the civil rights movement white people fled, so you've got an area about the size of Vancouver west of Main Street to UBC of nothing but burned out homes.)



   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 22 08 04:02
 I'm just going by what everyone knows, people aren't in school in the Summer. This means more people outside and its warmer, so people are out longer. The longer you stay outside in this city the more trouble you will run into.

For example, you'll hear about someone getting shot and killed walking the street at 1am in the morning to their house. This would only happen in the summer because its nicer out. I've said before St. Louisans don't want to be outside during the day, its too hot. From 5am-10am 6pm-10pm that's when people are most active in their leisure time. If you're out and about walking around past 10, you're asking for trouble unless you're in a white area. Then the cut off is before 12. The city's nightlife is only in small concentrated pockets. The rest of the town is a ghost town. The crimes happen when somebody walks into the ghost town part.

And its cold in the winter, so you're not going to go wandering unless certain events are happening (Blues game is effy, most of the traffic is from the suburbs), Rams night games, and Mardi Gras. If you stay around at Mardi Gras past 5pm when it gets dark, it gets lawless. People start breaking windows, drug pedalers come out pushing drugs on you, girls get taken advantage of and usually somebody ends up dead.

This is in no way a St. Louis problem, but is a refection of most of Midwestern to Southern cities that have experienced white flight post 60s. St. Louis is grouped with towns like Detroit, Memphis, Atlanta, Cleveland for this reason. The each of these cities have more or less the same underlining factor in their problems.

Crime has been on the downward trend anyway in St. Louis, but I'm serious when I joke a lot about Vancouver's crime rate (same size) in terms of St. Louis. If Vancouver's high crime years happened in St. Louis, the Police Chief and Mayor would become saints and heroes.

We are off in another month or so for a little longer, and we have an unsuspecting volunteer to look in on him.  He's an outdoor cat so that part is fine.  So that only leaves lonliness for him....but as he is...umm....rather 'independant', I think he will be fine.  I just need someone to make sure the hopper is full and not raided by the racoons.

  I've done that with a regular trash bags for summer storage of large fluffy comforters, sweaters etc.  Works just as well as the expensive bags (you have to tie them off really well though)  As for travel.....Michel is right....unless you bring your vacuum with you, return packing could be difficult.[/DIV]

  Speaking of packing shirts, I saw this product where you'd pack your clothes in this plastic bag and then vacumm the air out of it.  It kinda looks like beef jerky but with clothes.  I wonder if it works and if anybody tried it?  If it does, it'll be great to use to minimize luggage space.

I've done that with a regular trash bags for summer storage of large fluffy comforters, sweaters etc.  Works just as well as the expensive bags (you have to tie them off really well though)  As for travel.....Michel is right....unless you bring your vacuum with you, return packing could be difficult.

 

 I pack with large freezer ziplocks. It works very well, I put all my loose stuff into them. socks go into one, underwear into another.. etc etc. Then push the air out of it and zip it up.

Hail to Glad.....inventor of the zip-lock bag.  

  Great idea for packing Russ.  They're good for putting anything in that may leak as well.  Shampoos, lotion etc.  Saved the contents of my luggage a couple times.  In your case, you can just throw the other stuff in loose, because your clothes are sealed.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Welcome back to hermitville PC

Busy day, did a bunch of errands. Just now get to look at the local paper for 'morning headlines' (granted its now in the afternoon). The Police saga continues, Chief in quotes "I've done nothing wrong" is sprawled all over the front page. He'll be gone by Labour Day. Funny national news, Traffic deaths have declined as gas prices rise. (No way! duh lol). Local 2 guys were shot last night, the Cardinals are imploding the manger went crazy at the media last night. (He had his meltdown). State news: Rush Limbaugh's cousin retires from being a judge at the US District court. His cousin though is still in the Supreme Court so we haven't 'de-Limbaughed' the state.  And the Jonas Brothers are coming to town. lol

Hope everyone's having a good day. :)

Morning Headlines
International: Obama's in Germany, Germany has gone mad for Obama, at 10am pt he'll speak in front of a crowd of 50,000-100,000 Berliners. He promises no famous German lines. Bild the German tabloid has an up to the minute ticker detailing everything from his convoy detail, to where he's staying in Berlin and when he's going to the washroom. (okay not the last part) Its hilarious to read if you know German. [a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=de&amp;u=http://www.bild.de/&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=translate&amp;resnum=1&amp;ct=result&amp;prev=/search%3Fq%3DBild%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG%26pwst%3D1"]Link from the translated site[/a]

National: McCain is lost in the shuffle for press coverage against Obama, goes to a grocery store, gets picture taken in front of the cheese aisle.... Lawmakers consider strengthening the country's levees (god the federal government is sooo slow)......Ford says SUVS are dead (wow and we didn't know this? It took Ford how long...)
US jobless claims hit 406,000 last week.
Ford lost 8.7 BILLION last quarter
Sirius-XM merger looks to be completed
Bush drops fight against 300 billion dollar bail out bill  to help debt ridden homeowners and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Local News that's International: Myspace suicide. The local girl that committed suicide because she was bullied by a woman in the area, well now the woman's lawyer is challenging charges saying they're flawed. (Don't know how flawed they could be, her actions led to the teens death)

Local: Day 3 of Police Chief Crisis, the Posts official "black" columnist wrote today in the paper to have him fired. Mayor wrote on his blog that he's thinking about canning him. Cardinals continue to implode, hopefully Ballpark Village 3.0 doesn't do the same... 2 people shot last night. 1 killed, one critical. That makes 5-6 murders this week and its only Wednesday.

Funny news: Chimp in Japan got out of his cage, zoo keepers try to shoot him with a tranquilizer gun. The guy thought it would be great to sneak up on him on the roof. Chimp saw this coming and knocked the gun out of the guys hand and slammed it to the ground! Chimp pwnds zookeeper. lol

Add: On Obama, you can tell what a President will or won't do until we've been through a year of their presidency. Clinton wanted Universal Health Care etc, his first year. That failed, and by his first state of the Union address he was announcing to the world his ideas of 'Third Way' politics because his poll numbers were so low. Bush was a failure until 9/11 happened, then that's what gave him life so to speak and he's ran on that for 7 years.

BC highways in general are the wildest I've seen. I always wondered what pre-interstate America was like especially in the mountains. BC probably is the closest to the 'wildness' of the roads I read about.

  Lovely day but a bit cold. Isn't it supposed to stay hot as evar? Crapzolla. I wore my light jacket today. No fun.

  Yesterday one of the dentist who was taking care of a patient thanked me by touching me with his gloves!! ARGH!!! I was like, "OH CRAP! HE'S TOUCHING ME WITH A PATIENT'S SPIT AND WHATEVER ON HIS GLOVES!" Needless to say, I scrubbed that part of my arm like nobody's business. He's super nice but I wished he didn't do that.

I'm sure he means well....... I think. You would think as an instructor, you should show some consideration. Heck, I toss out gloves even when touching sterlized solution.

Hey Lise.......good question.

  The Executive memberships are $100 and are for buisness owners (I think), Business Memberships are through a company or business you work for .....and the Gold Star is for anybody and they're $50.

  The Executive memberships give you a 2% return of all your purchases at the end of the year.....sometimes pretty substantial for those who spend a lot there.

 Maybe different in Canada but here in states......

Gold Membership ($50).....up to 2% refund on purchases and limited shopping hours

Executive Membership ($100) ......up to 3% refund

Business Membership........for business owners who purchase mechandise for resale, ie. no sale tax collected

  Free American Express card included with membership

They were trying to sell me on the Exec card the other day but the guy was talking way too fast for me that I just shrug him off.  So, maybe anyone can get it because I certainly don't own a business.

Thanks for all the heads up, folks. I'll certainly go ask them on my next visit.

  Wow! I didn't know that you can get an American Express card in the state just for signing up for the membership. Interesting.

  My co-worker's husband got an Executive card but he's into construction work so he buys like major stuff. At the end of one year, he even got like $8,000 back in return. I guess it's only good if you buy a lot from Costco.

Hey guys, crappy day, so tired.

Anyway, I've got an issue. BC Med, I suspended my account for the summer because I wasn't going to be in the country. The person at the government building said I could only reinstate it at that government location. Is this true? God, I hope not. I don't have any days off during the week so getting to Nanaimo is going to be a pain.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jul 24 08 08:30
If I were you I wouldn't have suspended account.  You only need to do it if you were away from BC for over a year. (I could be wrong on this - better check BC Med website).

Can't you just call it a "change of address" instead of reinstatement?  Maybe this loop around will work.  I would call again (you might get a different answer) or read their website.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 24 08 08:39
I have people I could stay with in Nanaimo, that's not the issue. The issue is the govt building closes at 4:30pm and it would probably take an hour or so to get to the ferry then the ferry itself is 2hrs, then 10 minutes by expensive taxi to Govt building. I don't have a 'free day' in my schedule. I can't just go over there when I feel like it. Plus the building isn't open on weekends.

All International Students suspended their account when they go home for summer. Only ones that don't are the ones that stay here. A couple people think the Nanaimo people are full of themselves so I don't know.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jul 24 08 08:40
 Change your address to your UBC location in Sept.  Oh, that is why you stopped it.

Try calling when you get to UBC and then tell them you have changed your address and to reactivate your account.  Tell them that you don't live in Nanaimo anymore.  Let's see if this will work with them.

GRRRRR... I too had terrible and stressful experiences with BC Med

Good luck!
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 24 08 08:42

 Words can't describe how EPIC that tv spot is. Its everywhere here in Missouri of course. Mainly its epic-ness comes from the close in shot, the ultra seriousness, with the musical score and then Koster's final 5 seconds in the ad. Seriously, I've never seen a better ad in terms of playing on emotions. That's why its epic. The guy's rival have cheasy ads. It's marketing a candidate, I've never seen anything like it before. This tops Obama's Senatorial ads back in '04 and he won that election by 60%.

Basically the political ad is political art. Hence me saying Epic.

 Nope.  That's not the name of this leafy green.  If I heard the name, I would know but for the life of me, I don't remember the name even though our Landlord said it a few times already.  It grows kinda in a round bun and then the bigger leaves spread out and the leaves have a bit of red and it tastes bitter.... (but not as bad as bitter melon)

How about getting those bamboo blinds that can hang on the outside?  I'm not sure if it's possible for your place, but my mom has them and it helps from the sun.  Or try blinds?

  Good afternoon everyone.

  I got my eyes checked and my eyes aren't getting better. :(   Right eye went up one whole power and the left, only half, but the cylinder and axis have changed (whatever that means).  *sigh*  This is a 3 year change.  I was told that my eyes would stabalize, but I guess not.

 During the 20 mins wait while the eyes are being dilated you will feel like washing or rubbing them (like you would when you just gotten up in the morning).  Other than that no big deal.  Bring dark sun glasses as you will be blinded by sunlight in the next hour or two....preferably glasses with side protection.  If you forget your doc. will provide temp. cardboard glasses.

Backed up all the way Lil Me.  It's merely a couple drops in each eye and then they shine a light in them.  NO pain AT ALL.....it barely registers on the discomfort scale.  I too am surprised you haven't had it done yet.....or maybe you have, and didn't even realize it.

Kentucky Derby bans outside alcohol. Yet the infield is full of 'outside' stuff and it turns each year into a game of "how much stuff can I sneak in". People will make hidden compartments in bags etc.

  I didn't say there wasn't going to be those that would sneak it in...just what they were trying to enforce.....so the point remains the same. Those pics could be from the many 'camping areas' that were set up before they even got shuttled there.   I understand people had to set up camp at the parking lot overnight, while waiting for the bus.

Good morning everyone.

Woke up pretty early today to drive MrPL to school.   I think something is wrong with our fridge because our jug 'o milk is completely frozen.  WTH?  I didn't even change the temp!  

Hey Lise - We also sneak in our own drinks but lately we've been buying the Costco movie deal - 22 bucks includes two admissions, 2 large drinks and popcorn.  YUMMEEEEEE

Nobody brought alcohol into theatres because that's just soo stupid especially when you've got cops checking ids and stuff at rated R movies. All this happening after you've bought the ticket and your popcorn and are walking into the room with the screen. If they drank it was outside in the parking lot, but a lot of people used the movie theatre as a meet up place to do something, not necesarily to see a movie. I'd come by take the people from schools beer, build a beer can pyramid, take a Polaroid and put the pic on the windshield. Next day at school, they (pop kids) would be freaking out about the picture and can pyramid. lol

Afternoonie all. I'm so tired. Had a blast at Lise Jr.'s b'day party. Everyone turned up... most turned up late but they came anyways. Too much food... I think I went a bit overboard but better to make more than to have hungry guests. The kids had fun. Tired them out for the week, methinks.

  Now I need coffee.... yawn......

Evening!  *burps*

Had a great day of eating and drinking in Stanley Park with the extended family.  Heckyl and Jeckyl had the best time playing with very distant cousins' kids.

I took one trip back to my parents' place mid-day to get the folding mah jongg table and a set of folding chairs (don't ask...).

  I have a new hobby!  Throwing things at raccoons. (who knew it could be so much fun?)  The goal was to keep the raccoons off the buffet table.  Jeckyl stood guard for a while with the water cannon, but then he went off duty.  So I started throwing sticks.  Woohoo!  Got 2 clean chest shots and two head shots.  Damn things are undeterred...they keep coming back.

Are you going to wear one of those funny hard hats with the two beer cans so that you can really get your drink on, Lil Me?  ;)  Or have a keg and just open wide under the tap?  

  Lunch is yam tempura roll and california roll.  yummeee...  oh, and a plum!

and I'm making a huge mess again because i can't hold chopsticks properly while trying to dip it into soy sauce.

  ADD:  I would definitely try a cheesecake with soy based products... sounds less fattening. :)

  Doubly sick today. Frack. I knew it! The moment the kids start having running noses then you know it's only a matter of time before you get it. ARGH!!!!

A stupid question : Will it be hard to get a place on a ferry to the island this week end ? and if so, what would be the best strategy without reservation to get there as quick as possible, same question for the return. Is there a ferry up north (way up north) less used?  

  Is it a long weekend coming up ?  If so, your only hope is to get there early.  Or you could do the Sunshine Coast route.  Langdale ferry.....drive up to Powell River and cross to Comox.  Beautiful drive worth the time in my opinion.  Not exactly the speediest route....lol

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 31 08 11:17
Powell River has one of the mildest climate in all of Canada. The sun shines 1400 - 1900 hours each year on average. It's only 80 (ish) miles from Vancouver.....so the drive can't be that long.

  Remember.....you only pay one way on those ferries.

Very interesting, I was planning to drive that road eventually, it might this time, as I checked everywhere I want to go I read I have to expect heavy traffic.



With Whistler blocked from easy access,I would expect extra heavy traffic this weekend coming to the Island. A one way fare to Horseshoe Bay to Powell River to Comox is $100. You can get a Circle Pac ticket that covers this and a return via Nanaimo or Victoria for $133 or you can just go Nanaimo &amp; back for $112

One thing is for sure is, whatever the price is, I feel I get screwed. I think I will be sick Tuesday. At that price, I might stay longer there to see Strathcona maybe. Plus there are petroglyphs at Quadra island. I doubt I will often visit the island after that second trip.

  I hear ya Michel.  It's a horrendous price to be connected to the rest of our Province.

  Quadra is lovely.  A very laid-back atmosphere.  (So laid-back, that there are still draft dodgers that have been there since the 70's that are unaware that their war is over) [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/c010.gif" border=0]

The windows on the house over night collected moisture and fogged up. Think the window to the steam room. There's so much moisture and humidity in the air, weather radar is picking it up and thinks its storms. You can see the air.

 Mr LM was gone to meet a colleague who has a layover at YVR.

Hey Lise...Lil Me

  Happy Birthday to Jeckyl !  THAT sounds like a fun party.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I haven't named them.  I hate naming things that will surely leave. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/9.gif)   They are just wee tiny pink balls with whispy down.  Mama has been in a bit of a tizzy all day....not going to the nest at all.  She just sat on a nearby limb and peeped non stop.  I was starting to wonder if the babes had met with disaster.  I'm so relieved they are OK.

Ugh, crazy day. Rogers is messed up as a wireless company. So frustrating.
Had the Obama meeting, I'm too much of a cynic for them. Typical political person though, some girl in her 20s, just out of college, full of life, from a conservative family (so she's 'rebelling' how cute). Who is just head over heals about Obama's hope message. She was taken a back though when I talked about my political views, dead silence, didn't know what to say. lol typical response

Evening!  It's been a great chill weekend.
 
 Sun- took paddle wheeler tour with family + my parents.  Went from New West to Fort Langley and back.  Beer on board, good times.  Ran into some old friends in Fort Langley.
 
 Today- went to Squamish and climbed to the 1st peak of The Chief.  Had a really great day...much faster than we were 2 years ago, when Heckyl and Jeckyl were younger.  Now we're at 1.5hrs up, 1 hr down.
 
 Home and BBQ'd (steak and potatoes with the works, salad).  Ready for a shower and another couple drinks.  *fans the air*

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 04 08 10:42
No, lol. I just wanted to answer phones, then I got there, saw the energy she had and I was just sucking the life out of the room and didn't 'feel' like I was up to calling people. So instead of calling people in neighbourhoods harassing them, I said I'd do computer work. lol

Although apparently I had 'good ideas' on what to do and how to conquer the area, which is an uphill battle, it's not a conservative district but a theocratic district. Christian fundies rule here. I'm just not that into American politics. I'm secretly rooting for a tie in the electoral college. Anarchy baby! lol

SD: I'm like.... no, I will not answer phones.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 04 08 11:22
   I notified a field agent at my get out the vote drive that I'd like to do office work. So this person I talked to today knew I wanted to do office stuff. I didn't want to do answering phones, because I don't have enthusiasm and if I gave my personal opinion on things, their would be trouble. I couldn't even do the propaganda stuff. They give you a script and you call people. lol  So I changed my mind on being on the phones.

I said I'd do data, which is also weird. It entails collecting people's addresses, voting habits, politically profiling. Campaigns find their target neighbourhoods and then compile all the info they want on you, about what you like, what you want out of a candidate, what you are on the issues and try to persuade you to come out and vote for them on election day. Target voting. That's what being 'on the phones' entailed, which to me sounds way too much like being in the secret police.

 Mental note: buy fresh bread more often.  The local bakery has oven fresh bread for $2/loaf.  Compare that with $4/loaf for the factory made crap at the store.

Yeah it's old but it's still very good. Makes me cry though, it was all done when places like Colorado were still 'wild'. America's too crowded, ruined, unless you go to Alaska.

Does Canada have a Canadian centric television show? I've always liked nature shows, but every freaking National Geographic show is about Africa or South America. I don't live there, I want to know what's in my neck of the woods.

So what are the Canadian shows like that?

I think that's why Wild America is still played on a regular basis, nothing down here as topped it or come close to it. I remember watching this in the 80s and up to around '00 the show was played on a weekly basis on tv (during the normal hours of a day). Pretty good for a show made in 1982. lol

MSNBC used to have National Geographic programs on during the weekend. It was all about Africa though. Which is cool, but more people will watch something about North America, they can't relate to Africa. Although you're right Michel, now that I think about it, those shows were just 'pretty' like oh look at us and our awesome movie in HD. lol

 Another reason why I said America isn't wild anymore. lol
Idiot tourists have taken over. Most of the Colorado footage from Wild America is from Rocky Mountain National Park. That park next to the Great Smokey Mountains (where they're building coal plants now) in Tennessee is the most polluted park in the country. Too many people go there and it borders a growing regional area of people living next to it in the Fort Collins area. Has some of the worst air.

Whoever said that southwestern Missouri is the most beautiful part of the state is lying, it feels like you're going down I-75 in Georgia, which isn't pretty.
Springfield has a chinese place on every corner, it also has a church on every corner as well. One street had 3 churches in a row next to each other. Rained all weekend until today.

Ran into the weirdest accent I've ever heard at Walmart. I thought my extremely exaggerated faux accent couldn't be real. Then I ran into a worker down there at Walmart. I asked for him to repeat what he was saying 3x. Seriously, I couldn't believe it.

Yeah Springfield was just too easy to make fun of, since it's home to Missouri's political elite and it's the political intellectual heartland. Outside of the St. Louis and KC kids who go there for school during the year, the place is bizarre, but it's truly 'southern'.

 Wonderful food.  Good drinks.  Sat night was Italian, last night was Chinese.  Tonight is Chinese again.  We're jokingly calling it BYOF night.  (Bring Your Own Fish) as my uncle is hosting tonight, and bringing his flash-frozen salmon to the restaurant for the staff to prepare and serve.  He was fishing in the Queen Charlottes a couple weeks ago.
 
 Celebrated the grandmother's 92nd bday over the weekend.  She had a good time.  Did she really know what was going on?  Who knows!  Mr LM and Heckyl and Jeckyl spent the afternoon collating their photos of the event.  Between the 3 of them, I think we've got a picture of damn near all 130 people who attended.

I'd pass on the canned fishy stuff purelife.  It's hard to rid your campsite of the bear-bait aroma.  Even washing, wrapping and bagging the used cans isn't enough.  (burning them out is good if campfires are allowed)

  Think about bringing dried foods over canned foods.  Noodles, soups, cereals etc.   Pancake mix for brekky.  Hot dog weenys or meats with burnable wrappers is good..... (again, if campfires are even allowed at this time).

Yes....Lil Me would be a good person to answer this.  I was delving WAYYYY back to my old back-packing days.  Light-carrying, compact, minimum of leftover packaging type of stuff.   LOL  I'm thinking camping has a different set of guidelines.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Aug 12 08 04:44
P.C. is absolutely correct if you're backpacking in the middle of nowhere.
 
 But car camping at Manning Park is EASY!!!
 Eat whatever you would normally have at home. Freeze the meat before you go and it will stay colder.
 Canned fish is totally fine.
 I wouldn't store any food (including coolers and Rubbermaid containers) in my tent- best leave that stuff in the car when you're not using it.
 
 Just remember...don't worry about the bears.  Someone else is always dumber than you are.  There's going to be some other camper who has a lb of bacon and some BBQ chips in his tent- the bears smell him, not you.
 
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Aug 12 08 04:46
ADD: If you get really lazy, Manning Park has a store and restaurants.  Plus the town of Hope isn't that far away.  You could spend all weekend eating pizza and McD if you really wanted to.

purelife and Lil Me, you should have a great time camping. I am jealous! I am staying in the dumb ass city to catch up on some of my work. BLECHHH!!

 I couldn't imagine staying with a girl long term if she wasn't into evacuating the city and into camping?? Your hubby's are lucky!

 In the meantime...coffee is on.

  Camping is fun.....errr...WAS fun.  I'm just done.  I grew up in a family that camped from the time we were in diapers until we left home.  I in turn with my own family camped/hiked from the time my kids were in diapers.  Now when I get the urge.....I put a nice bon fire in the yard, grab a coffee and poke the fire like the olden days.  The wonderful campfire smell will stick for a good few hours if done properly......lol

lol.....yup.  That's what we call it.  Perpetual camping.  We just up-graded on the tent a little. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

haha! You are truely in heaven

   well, I do 2 types of camping. The one where there is a lake at my feet (Kootenay). Usually involves a cooler, BBQ, music, friends, couple beers. Then there is the other camping I only do with certain friends. usually involves a hike or bike, small tent, small food portions, but usually somewhere heavenly.

  BC has the Coast mountains, Purcells, Selkirks, The Rockies, a trillion (ok, maybe not a trillion) lakes. I couldn't imagine spending every weekend sitting in the city watching reality TV or football? hanging at mcDonalds or the mall?

  Actually, I wish more people hated camping...more room out there for me! ha!

Oh, I don't hate camping.....I'm just done.

  Dad's philosophy about holidays, was to know your own backyard before you check out the neighbours yard.  So travel BC is what we did.  I don't think there is a lake or stream in BC that we haven't dipped our feets in.  He was also a fan of solitude....so genearlly, Provincial Park Campgrounds were not his thing.  Logging roads, sometimes barely more that a path, roads....anything that looked like it led to somewhere away from the masses.

  This was my Dad's favourite line....."I wonder where this goes'.

Sounds like your dad and me would have got along.

  amazing, some of the beautiful hidden lakes up some of those logging road.

My dad liked doing that for fishing camping trips.

  The only major campground style camping we were into was an annual trip to Chelan in Washington. Beautiful lake.

  It doesn't matter which nationality the food is......there are basic hungarian food recipes too.  Basic does not equal boring.

First dinner Mr. Sawdust cooked for me when we was courtin, was a roast pork....done to perfection, twice baked potatoes and absolutely al dente fresh green beans. It was fabulous.  Basic....but done perfectly.

 I'm not joking when I say that my entire life has unravelled in the last 24hrs.
 My best friend, the one person I thought I could trust, has been lying to me for years...found out the truth yesterday, and now everything has changed.  I don't know what I'm gonna do.

 I'm trying not to turn into "crazy weepy woman", but it's really hard.  I've been burned really badly by someone.
 I sniffled my way through taekwondo last night, and my instructor thought I had allergies.

Trying to fogive someone requires a great deal. I'm working on trying to forgive ppl who have been horrible towards myself and my friend. It's hard but I think I'm a better person who can rise above them if I am able to forgive them.

  I always carry this motto around when I feel that ppl are attacking me needlessly. It really helps.

  [SPAN class=subTitle]Don't Take Anything Personally[/SPAN]
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

Good morning y'alls.  Another scorcher brewing.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Aug 15 08 10:32
The key to good pea soup is in the ham bone.  Sometime I make soup with leftover ham.....just by cubing up the ham and adding it to the soup.....(not the greatest)  But pea soup made by simmering the split peas WITH the ham bone, is the difference between that wonderful creamy texture....or the not so wonderful 'mealy' texture.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Aug 15 08 10:35
MisO HongrY already!

  If you don't cook a whole ham, is there another alternative, PC?  I know it won't taste as good as the uncooked ham, but what about buying the cooked ham and cutting those in chunks with the split peas?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Michel on Aug 15 08 10:40
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Aug 15 08 10:45
Yup...you can do that.  But it's cooking the soup with the ham bone that makes it best.  Without it, the peas have that grainy, mealy texture.

  So what I often do, after a ham dinner, I cut most of the leftover ham off the bone.....throw it (the ham bone) in the soup pot with some suateed onion and the split peas and water.....and let it simmer all day.  Put it in the fridge overnight and then in the morning, skim any fat off that has risen to the top and hardened.

  THEN add your veggies, and cubed ham....let it simmer again for several hours (or until your veggies are al dente.  Pea perfection.

  *another trick for great homemade soups, is I always throw in a handful of the dried 'soup mix'.  You can get it in some stores in the bulk department.  It only contains dried veggies.....leeks, carrots, green stuff...lol....it has no seasonings.

That doesn't sound so difficult PC. I like how easy it is to make soup.  First, I'm going to try cooking a whole ham (never did that before) and then make pea soup afterwards.  I won't tell MrPL that there are peas in it....I'll do the trick that you did. :)

Yeah, but this time it means whenever I come back to St. Louis I don't have to throw papers. Last year was the end of full time. So this year its the end of semi-retirement to now full retirement. For example, when I come back in December, I won't have to do this job, no more papers on Christmas, New Year's Eve etc.

  It's not from watching movies, at least not for me.  Where I grew up, paper route jobs were always done by kids in the 12 to 14 age group....on their bicycles.  Except once, when I was a kid, there was this 'older guy' SIXTEEN....and I always made sure I was on the porch when the paperboy came.

Well the waitress said "Oh dear, conflict !" lol. I said "It's okay, it doesn't matter they can watch the baseball game." She kept saying "you sure?" I said "Yes, Yes, I'm sure, it's okay."  

I was happy anyway, I wanted to see Phelps swim, the game ended 10 minutes before he swam. So both sides won.

PC, I know we have one more month but with this crazy weather acting up, you never know. I have it in my bones that fall will be upon us sooner than usual.

  Went to the Barnet Park today. Absolutely wonderful!!!! Such breeze (I actually had to walk around with a towel) and the day was just gorgeous. Plenty of folks out and about, even saw a couple of wedding parties.

  Anyone went to the PNE today? My friends went and said it was just crazy. Tooooo many ppl. They totally recommend the acrobats from Peking show.

   I didn't have the time to soak beans overnight so I used a recipe to kick up canned beans. I added some sauteed bacon &amp; onions, brown sugar, worchestire &amp; mustard. You then let it simmer on the bbq for a couple of hours. My mistake was that a couple of hours was closer to3-1/2.[/DIV]

    Haha. Oh I know all the hits. My cousin and I drive around the bottoms (farmland on the riverbanks) at night with the windows down in the truck and signing to Poison. lol

Sebastian Bach though was goofy. He just screamed his Skid Row songs. Screeched I'M BACK (screams for 2 minutes) lol we mocked him all night.

Michaels is pimping his Rock of Love show, he mentioned Rock of Love 3 (which is upcoming) about 5 times, the promos before the concert were "Bret Michaels Rock of Love star on VH1's highest rated celebreality show of all time'. Although I actually think he was genuine in his love for the St. Louis fans. Before they got big, they came through town and played at a famous (now gone unfortunately due to a new casino being built downtown) music night club (you name it a famous band go their start there sort of place and wrote their names on the wall).  Anyway he was near tears.

C.C. played by himself for 15 minutes fooling around. lol played Amazing Grace.



ADD: My cousin and I were bummed they never played "I won't forget you" that's our favourite Poison song. My other cousin said "well guys that's not really a big hit"! Oh come on not a big hit my ass, it's #10 on itunes for them. lol

Good morning everyone.

  I had a fabulous time at Manning.  It was so nice sleeping around nature and the creek, but wished that our camp ground was more secluded, away from highway.  The best part was canoeing on Lightening Lake early in the morning when no one else was there.  It was sooo peaceful.  I wish our nights lasted longer. :(

All day long, we were looking for bears.  Someone else at the campground saw a mother and her cubs shortly after we had left Lightening Lake!  GRRRR!  

  It was so dark at night that I prayed that I didn't have to go pee in the middle of the night.  One night, I just held it in...

  I enjoyed swimming at the creek but got really abused by the rocks.  I am in somewhat of pain today.... rocks scraped my back, my elbows and I hit my shins hard on the rocks.  I didn't feel a thing but the next day, I in pain... but it was all worth it.

 There is so many to choose from from beginner to advanced.  

Cobalt Trail in Bugaboo is one of my favs.

A little easier would be Top of the World Park in the East Kootenays.

Another favorite is Kokanee park east of Nelson. I would say this is intermediate. Pretty amazing scenery. Lots of mosquitoes, but that is ok. They were there first.

    Everyone's complaining about the cold and wet at work but y'know I really love this break from the heat. I'm not very good with the heat so it's a nice change.

  Crazy at work yesterday. The students came back.... seems like most of them look like they've just emerged from their den. I'm struck by how young some of them are.

  Oh the resident dentist I assisted yesterday didn't look like my grammy's socks afterall. In fact, he looked like someone who's just out of highschool. Hmmm... is it me or do I feel old? ARGH!

The fog light on my Matrix has a little rock in it apparently....so I guess it's borken.....although I have never noticed it.......and to have it replaced would be just under $350.00.  We are opting to keep our borken fog light.  They oughta be ashamed of themselves.

lol.  If you wanted, you could probably buy a Matrix foglamp on ebay and install it yourself?  Or...maybe there's too much Matrix in the way of the lamp...and that's why it's an expensive repair?  (my friend needed a new clutch cable for his Jetta, and the whole engine needed to be lifted out in order to get to it..)
 
 Where's the old Goat when you need him?  He's master of the Toyota repair.  Mind you, once he gets his hands on your Matrix, it will have a lift kit and a big block engine....

  We went to the PNE yesterday. Best day ever! Not much of a crowd, not hot and it was just perfecto! My favorite was the Peking Acrobats so if you guys are thinking of heading there, I definitely recommend you go catch the show. The Iam Superdogs were OK, I guess. Same old, same old, got bored but the kids loved the doggies. They were also totally engrossed at the farm animals. Dang those horses were huge.

  Funny seeing the Canadian forces at the PNE. I think they were recruiting or something so you can imagine Teh Lise smiling a lot. Did I mentioned how many cute guys there are in uniforms? Hmmm.

 I was just reading back and I seen this. Sorry I never replied earlier.

 This could be anywhere in the Kootenays. But I would guess it is in the Cranbrook area. Those look like the Steeples to me (part of the Rockies). That water may not be a lake, it looks like it could be the Kootenay River. Close to Fort Steele or Wardner. It is hard to tell though. The mountains in the West Kootenays are not as massive as the East Kootenays.

Hi Michel,

Cranbrook is in the centre of the East Kootenays.

Oh yes tons of hikes all over. Mountain biking too. The town is pretty redneck and almost like a burned out forestry town, but the area is pretty amazing. Whereas Nelson is more of a relaxed, laid back town, I found Cranbrook is more of a tough, hunting, pissed off sawmill worker kind of town.

 The East Kootenays go from the US border, up to the Golden area, east to the Alberta border, and west to the Creston area. Creston is the border zone. West of Creston is the West Kootenays until you get to about Rock Creek, then the Okanagan starts.

Outside of Cranbrook there is one hike there called Lakit and it takes you up to a lookout cabin at the top of the Rockies. Amazing view. Crazy hike though. Straight up for a couple hours. You have to bring water too, there is none at the top. Coming down is harder on my legs.

There is also a ton of intermediate and easy hikes too.

Generally, a sunny area too in comparison to the Coast Mountains.

I understand the frustration of waiting and have not too much tolerance for that, but that's very rude. That waitress had to clean the place and probably lost her job.How many time I saw understaffed restaurant with waitress running like crazy and being punished by having bad tips over it ?


 

That's true Michel.  But on the other hand, it barely takes a second to say, even in passing..."I'm SO sorry to keep you waiting, I'll be with you as quick as I can".  Makes all the difference.  I'm afraid I have little tolerance for bad service.

I guess it depends on the situation.

  One time, I was waiting at a bank.  2 tellers were there to serve a busy end of month time.  They could easily open up 3 more.  One guy from the crowd spoke up and said "If you could just stop flirting with her and serve us, the line up would go by much quicker!"  Oh, that guy was embarassed and they quickly opened up two more.

Is your t-rex made out of wooden pieces, kinda like a puzzle but is 3D?  If it's what I think it is, those things are so much fun to put together.

  Speaking of being a kid, I've been working on puzzles up to 500 pieces.  I'm going to move on up to 1000, and then one day...to 3000.

Hey everyone!  Had a fantastic weekend at Gold Creek, Golden Ears Park.  Family n friends, 8 kids in our group, lotsa BBQ and bevvies, and a fried turkey.
 
 Somehow dumped my drink all over myself from a sitting position yesterday afternoon.   Vodka and Five Alive  in the eyes, up the nose,  all over my shirt....Ooops.
 
 Woke up to torrential rain this am (wet tarps and tents).  Then I accidently drove home with the ski box open (wet everything else).   Ooops.

Aha. Funny pictogram there, Michel and PC.

  OMG. Tell me about wet. We had to go to Langley for a pal's BBQ yesterday and it was pouring like crazy. Man...... Funny thing - about 5 mins before we hit his place, I just remembered that I didn't bring anything for him. (twas his housewarming party) We had to dash to Home Depot next door so I could grab a pot of plant for him.

  I tell ya, I'm getting soft in the brain with my old age. *creaking rocking chair back and forth*

  Looks like a scary jump there, SD! Yikes!

  Our family BBQ on Sat was ok.  I don't think I was in the mood to see any family members, so I sat on the couch by myself and left really early.  We'd normally stay until past midnight.  Sunday, I didn't even step outside, not even to take out recycling.  It was my mellow weekend of silence.

Nobody can go to Jasper and not see animals.Wapiti are everywhere. So you'll be at the very beginnig of rut season. You might see some sparring and fighting, maybe even hear the wapity bugling. A sounds from outer space !!! Mountain sheeps will be everywhere too. With some patience you'll see more.

  And how much of this will we see from our hotel window ?  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]  I see no plans of traipsing through the forest will a backpack full of granola bars and trail mix, in the near future.

 Oh OK, thanks, I tought there was a gradation between the two. Like for example a "dirty" girl can look sexy but not necessarily sensual, as sensuality imply some refinement ?



But anyway, the important thing here is how people express usualy.

    I think of sensuality as the 'softer' form of sexiness.  Implied....subtle....exotic. [/DIV]

 Hum, well sensuality should refer to the senses, hence it has to do something with the fact that your senses are aroused, so it can be a lot of thing. While sexy is more down to Earth and more evidently sexual.

  You're all over it now.  That's exactly what sensuality is.....both in essence and literally.  A sexy person may not necessarily be sensual.....and vice versa.

Well....I think it is common....it's just that the opportunity to use it doesn't present itself in everyday conversation.  It would be like suggesting that the word sperm isn't common.  It IS....you just don't chat about it on a daily basis around the water cooler.

For one thing, you'd be sweating it out (literally) and not appreciated for what  you do. Stress is another factor. *sigh* But it's just one avenue, I'm sure plenty more will open in the future.

I think I'm going to double major.
That might be the stupidest idea or the smartest I haven't a clue.
But I don't want to live in regret like my dad who could of double majored engineering.
geography-political science.
If I got over my stupid love/hate relationship with political science, I've convinced myself somehow that it would drive me mad if I went down that path, yet it's the only thing I've ever been truly interested in.

Why would I want to work for the Democrats? Just because I'd like to see the Republicans iradicated, doesn't mean I'd join the Democrats bandwagon. I lose the so called liberals when I bring up the n,s, and r word in conversation I always get a collective "omg you're one of them" and they don't call back or email back. They get appalled and tell me to join the Green Party or something.

So going back to America is utterly pointless.

 Your view of the student population is somewhat skewed right now because you're hanging with the guys in Rez.  It's totally expensive to live on campus.  For every "rich guy" in Rez, there are a billion starving students living in substandard accommodations off campus, with relatives, or couch-surfing.  Rest assured that the vast majority of the starving students have not travelled the world, nor do they have iPhones.

It was bound to happen, but I didn't really know he'd take post school life this hard. Mr. Lone wolf doesn't want anybody to help him so he just suffers alone. That's not how you get through something, but oh well not my life.

SD- just a thought regarding the uni students with the blackberry phones...
For a single person, it's cheaper to pay for email and phone via blackberry than it is for internet and landline at home.
Especially when you have access to the computers at UBC for anything more than email.
so...not everyone walking around with a blackberry is necessarily a "rich kid".

Well, I remember when my boys were younger...every task took longer.  It felt good just to get a start...to do something.  I used to make lists (still do) and check off one item at a time.

  The sad reality is that the younger child doesn't need much...or expect much.... my Jeckyl used to be over the moon when he had a new toy for his bday...something that was NEW and HIS.  lol

  These days, I'm pretty casual about kid bdays.  I ask the kids what they want, and we go shopping together.  After that, we'll go out for pizza...or get take-out or whatever.

  Me n Ed's has a kids club...if you sign up, the child gets a free little pizza and drink for their bday.  Jeckyl is pretty stoked when his bday card arrives in the mail from Me n Ed's.

  We had a bday party with kids for Jeckyl this year...but Heckyl is older and I managed to convince him that we could do something else instead.  I h8 kid bday parties.

Ah, that's so sweet LM. I should really enjoy my kid's b'day... I mean she's two so she's like your wee one when he used to be over the moon as soon as he gets something new. I went out yesterday and bought her a moving baby that speaks when you put a bottle into its mouth. That should keep her busy for a while.

  Lucky my hubby was with me. He stopped me from buying this giantic doll house.......... *sigh*

  School's just started. Time to start using the old noggin. Students from 3rd year are panicking like crazy so we'll have to break them down easy. Somehow. Maybe get their pacifiers away from them for a change.

I don't think education is the be to end all in views. You're first education in life is what you experience outside the home. Then at an early age you see things that is wrong or you grew up in an inner circle that was tolerant, where the outside world was hate filled. You pick that up early, no books required.

Same goes with the flip side, if all you see in life is white people and the only black people you see on tv are wanted for robbery or murder, you learn to be afraid.

 I'm prone to emotional eating and drinking...but this week, I've been trying to be more self-analytical instead.  3 steps:
 
 1) What emotions am I feeling?
 2) What is the cause of the emotions?
3) What can I do for myself to get through this?

Thanks for the cup of coffee purelife!! Hugss!!

  Plans for the weekend include going to my fav pub and meeting some friends for supper and brews tonight. Tomorrow day we are biking North Shore. Tomorrow night, maybe a movie and bbq. Sunday, not sure yet? My home needs a major cleaning and I think Sunday may be a good day for that. Too busy lately to worry about housework

Hi Gophie, Hi Van.

  How many dogs are ya sitting for, Goph?

  Sounds like a cool weekend Van.  I like casual ones like that and days where I do absolutely nothing.

  This weekend, I'm taking MrPL on a cruise to Pitt Lake.  I have to clean the house and get some errands done.

  Lunch is chick pea, green bean vegan soup.  No splurging..... so far... .yet....

Better yet.  I'll capture them on video.

I'd do that, but I'd end up getting deported and banned from the country.  An SDS student activist who happens to hail from the US, has been banned from the country (Canada) for 1 year, because he got arrested at a protest on campus that made some news. He gets denied at borders now.

Cruise to Pitt Lake for the day was AWESOME!  We saw the 3-part pictographs, waterfalls....I will post up the pictographs for you Michel (and for anyone else)  It's the map to the treasure from 100's of years ago.

I also saw a guy mooning us and a girl showing her boobs.  

Dinner was baked chicken, zuchinni and rice.

Yep.  Map to gold!  But, the guy who did the pictographs hid the gold and also cursed it too when he was hung.  Supposedly, he took a lady with him, and he murdered her.  After that, he cursed the place and people who have attempted to find it, were never to be found...20 or so missing people.

Hi SD - How many classes did you take this semester and how are you finding UBC vs Malaspina??  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Sep 09 08 09:06
    5
200 level Geography class
300 level German lit class
300 level Art History class
100 level German language class
100 level Political Science class

Well its more 'university like' then 'high school' which is what all small universities are like.
A lot of reading, can't tell you on anything grading wise because papers and tests haven't started yet.


But the past couple of days I've just overloaded on reading to the point I can't read anymore. Then I look at my schedule and I see that I needed to read more for that specific day.

I can see why the party people in this school are engineers and science people. They don't have to read and have a lot of free time. If I hear them complain again about their one math problem a week they have to do.... I mean give me a break, I have to read between 100-200 pages a day, then write about it. lol

I've got this [span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]meeting[/span] drinking social tonight, all of them are engineers so they've got a bunch of time to kill. I don't, I might stay for an hour tops, got to read. Kafka's Metamorphosis is due tomorrow. lol

I don't mind the readings, I'm actually sort of relishing the whole process. lol I sound like those super intense kids Lise talks about in the Dentistry department. (except I'm still laid back as ever, as usual)
Just don't have any free time. Any free time I'll have will probably involve biking. Then in October I'm going to Calgary for a weekend with this [span style="text-decoration: line-through;"][/span]group, which apparently is a front for drinking and a dating service (everyone in this group dates each other). lol

 Ingredients: meat- cut into pieces, vegetables- cut into pieces, bottle of sauce.
 Serve with rice or noodles.

Haven't seen the cat sitter yet.....yipes.  I don't see any limbs laying around....so I'm hoping that means she is ok.  Kitty was awfully glad to see us.

  The wedding was beautiful purelife.  Everything about it was wonderful.  A nicer bunch of people would be hard to find.  The bride and the 7 bridesmaids ALL look like they stepped off the cover of Brides magazine.  The location was extraordinary and everything came off without a hitch.  

  I did get to Daiso and Ikea (and of course Lee Valley).  Picked up a few things at each.

    I'm beat....and glad to be home.

Yes all females around a male at this time of the year. Male would fight with other males around, either to defend his harem or steal it from the alpha male.

  I didn't know this, Michel.  There was one buck and 12 does.  He was magnificent.  I spotted him in a really narrow window of vision, and wasn't sure if I had seen what I thought I saw......but as we rounded a bend, there was the rest of the herd.  He eventually got up and joined the ladies.  We watched for quite a while.  It was only 2 minutes after we carried on, that we saw the bear.

  Thanks SD.....good to be home.  

  Hubby and I have just made a pact to get our selves back to Banff before too long.  We were both in awe.

Saw nothing in Jasper.  I was a little taken aback at Jasper.  I remember it quite different than what it is....meaning, I wasn't terribly impressed.  Over priced and almost a bit seedy.  Our original plans included a stay in Jasper, but we moved on.

I forgot to mention in my list of 'wildlife', the GIANT chipmunks in Banff.  Well.....Lake Moraine more specifically.  I have NEVER seen such huge chipmunks EVER.  One came right up to me and I....obeying the laws of the Banff National Park, had nothing to feed him.  But I got the clear impression, that others were not obeying the rules.  These guys were at least 5 or 6 times bigger than any chipmunk I have ever seen.  (I'll post pic tomorrow after I transfer my 2000 pics.....lol)

Welcome home, PC. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Looking forward to seeing your pictures. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif)

  I like making stir-fries. They're the most easiest to do and cheap. At least in my books. Yes, it involves some preparation but so worth the effort.

  Mooncake festival just around the corner. I bought some pandan flavored mooncakes just to try them out. Delicious!

Hiya PC.  Sounds like a decent trip.

  Looks like you liked Banff more than Jasper? I always thought Jasper was a little less crowded and higher peaks? Mind you I only been there a couple times. Usually summer and also, usually hiking. Banff has way better ski hills mind you. In Banff, there is Lake Louise and is one of the best too, if they get a decent snow dump.

 HEY VAN !  Ahhhhhhh....home coffee.

  We took the parkway from Banff to Jasper, and it was nothing short of amazing.  It was the town of Jasper that was a little disappointing.  Although still quite nice, it fell short of my memories.  It was our intended destination for a night over, but the prices of hotels were way out of whack for what it was.  It had the look of a town that had a cute one street facade in front of a common town.

  We also saw the sculptures coming out of Osoyoos.[/DIV]
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Van on Sep 10 08 07:14
Cool. Did you see the sasquatch with the beer box out of Osoyoos?

  Ah! I gotcha about Jasper. The town itself seems pretty dated and pricey for sure.

  Coffee is a gift from God, embrace it!! yay!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Sep 10 08 07:20
I did see the sasquatch.  There appeared to be a sculpture missing....or not put up yet.  There was a pedestal base with nothing on it.  Hmmmm.

  Banff was so incredibly gorgeous.....a new vista around every corner.  The town itself was clean and funky and the homes there were all well kept and architecturally within the feel of town.  Mind you, I could hear cash registers in my head everywhere I looked.  The place reeks of money.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Did you make it to the Grizzly House?

  If you ever go back, make sure you go there. A little pricey, but hey, you only live once.

Is that the place that has snake and shark on their menu ?  We had a look at it, but ended up somewhere else.

  Banff IS pricey Russ.  But at least you felt like you were paying for something....whereas Jasper was pricey without the offerings.  I don't want to knock Jasper too hard....as it was lovely.  It just had a sense of being a Banff wanna be....kinda like they are riding on Banff's coat-tails.

  Whistler has the same feel as Banff, only on a smaller scale.  The criteria to even be allowed to purchase a home there is quite detailed.  That surprized me a bit.

  Yes. You can just have steak and chicken though. I would say it is the best place in Banff. I never spent a lot of time in the town though. usually ski our butts off and eat right at the ski hill.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Yes, kind of like Whistler. I don't really like walking around the Whistler townsite though. Any ski gear is marked up 300%. You can buy a nice Canadian mini flag for $25.00??!

Good morning Lil Me.

  Van....any ANYTHING is marked up 300% in Banff.....and then some.  

    We went and had a little visit to the log home I tried to buy many many moons ago, on Lac de Roche.  It is still there and still as beautiful as ever.  Porch almost over the lake.  The first half of highway 24 from the Little Fort side is still gorgeous......the second half....not so much.

  I like the Kananaskis country out there too. A good group of mountain bikers out of Calgary have their group based there. It is as nice as Banff, but without all the stores. Just mountains, trails, and trees. The lakes are too icy to jump in though.

  I'm with ya Russ.  There's something fundamentally wrong with that thinking, to me.  I think (if I could afford a house in Banff) that who is anybody to tell me I can't purchase something that is for sale.  It smacks of discrimination in the first degree.

They are called mountain squirrel. Good thing you didn't feed them. There's plenty of natural and healty food for them and there's nothing more sad than seeing a wild animal getting killed by an hunter or a poacher because he approach him thinking he would get some treat "as usual".

  Forgot to mention, Michel, that what we saw were definitely chipmunks.  GIANT mutant chipmunks.  As soon as I get organized, I'll post a pic.

Hi Van, Lise, Michel, Lil Me, SD, PC and RUSSSS!!!!!  

  Last night, our car all of a sudden wouldn't start.  We were parked at Ikea.  Luckily, this guy who owned a truck was around to jump start our car.  And he told us what was wrong.  All we had to do was buy this one part for the battery post cover that costs under $15.  Phew...thank goodness it wasn't something else...we were lucky to run into them. :)

Hullo miss PL..

  Van.. a HOA is a Home Owners Agreement. Its like living in a gated community. Basically its like living in an apartment with an invasive council only you own a house with a garage and lawn and garden.. you can only paint your house certain colours, put up approved wind chimes, not work on your vehicle in the driveway.. have your lawn so many inches high, plany approved plants and trim them so often.. but dont worry you own your own place.

  Battery cover thingy? You mean like a new battery post terminal? So it was a bad connection?

  Thanks LM for the info.. so its cheaper than when i left.. just not as cheap as here! lol.

  So my net time ran out and I had to go renew.. obviously there was some confusion as to what I wanted as the lady at teh front desk said ok.. she would bring it up to me when she got the right codes.. so she arrives at my room with two bottles of coke.. not two hours of internet.

Obviously something got lost in translation.

  That's IT!  Yep, he said that it was the post terminal, the connection wasn't good and it was falling apart.  I parked the car at home and then turned it back on and it was ok but now, I gotta buy the part and see if MrPL has all the tools to replace it, otherwise, I'll be charged $100 for a 10 minute or so job.

Hey PL.. its pretty easy. Basically a crescent wrench and a pair of side cutters. Cut off the old terminal with the cutters, bare the wire, and tighten the new one onto the wire then the terminal.

  New terminal is cheap and probably only about 5 bucks.  

  Good luck!

  The coffee I make at home (fresh grounded Kirkland house blend thanks to Russ's tip) is 1000 times better too. I was just lazy and thought I would try something different.

  Thanks for the advice purelife...can you rub my tummy so I feel better?(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/2.gif)

haha. I said Tim Horton's are big outside of the major city centre's in this part of BC. (I don't remember seeing Tim Horton's everywhere in Victoria, but everywhere else on the island its the place to go to, especially if you're in a town/village that doesn't have a Tim Horton's i.e. Port Hardians. if you are going to Campbell River, you must come back with timbits. Apparently its the law.)

Although they were happy they didn't have to pay pst on anything below 4 dollars. Apparently in Ontario you do? I dunno.

They do say that the asian malls are better in Toronto and apparently people there can actually drive. lol

I've got the self proclaimed "whitest asians" as my roomies. They're hilarious, we just make fun of asians all day. It's rather amusing. funny guys.

Evening. Lasagne and edamame peas for lunch.

  My stupid faucet is leaking. Turns out the copper wire(??) is leaking. I have to replace it. The plumber said he could do it but the faucet is old, might be a good idea to upgrade. I said, well, why the hell not? I hate those 70s looking things so I told him to upgrade all the bathroom faucets to something more stylish. By the end of it, I'm gonna be looking at $300 to $400 bill. YIKES.

  Check out ReStore before you do somehting like that Lise..

[A href="http://www.vancouverhabitat.bc.ca/index.php/restore"]http://www.vancouverhabitat.bc.ca/index.php/restore[/A]

Theres others not just in Vancouver either, although after having been to all of them the Vancouver one is the bestest.

When we redid alot of stuff around the house including updating and refixing the basement suite, we saved thousands by going there. Seriously.. check it out not just once but over a few days, things come and go alot.

Hey Lise......about the faucets from ebay.........

This is the kitchen I did last month.  The faucets she got on ebay for $130 (including shipping and handling) are at Home Depot for $469.  Pretty good deal huh ?

  My after pics are kinda crappy and dark....but you can get the idea.  (we did the whole kitchen for $2000 including tiling the floor, refacing the cupboards plus new hinges and hardware, new lighting,  new counters, black granite sink and an island. )  There was no original surface left.  (new appliances to come to replace the icky white ones)

  [A id=thelink onclick="return fitsInWindow();"][/A]

  [A id=thelink onclick="return fitsInWindow();"][/A]

  Icky white and blue lino replaced with 12 x 24 tile....and ho hum plain pantry turned into a shoji screen.

  [A id=thelink onclick="return fitsInWindow();"][/A][A id=thelink onclick="return fitsInWindow();"][/A]

  Sorry.....had to toot my own horn.....[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); border=0 src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif"]  this one was a challenge with such a small budget.

  Oh what the heck.....might as well do the cupboards as well.  They are metalic gold with espresso trim....she was frightened at first.....lol.

Yea !.....and they're not bad !

  I don't know why that stuff is as expensive as it is.  I was skeptical about her ordering that stuff off ebay.  I thought they might be defects or missing pieces or something.....but they are perfect.  The winning bid on the same one before hers was $89. (s&amp;h included)

BTW folks if you have a sink insert and buying a faucet on ebay, make sure you have enough holes on the countertop for the particular faucet model........I made the mistake recently....I didn't buy from ebay but decided to core additional holes in my granite counter in lieu of returning the faucet.  Faucet was from Costco and with a discount coupon it was too good a deal to return

That's a cool little thing Lil Me.  

  The wall mount pot fillers will give you hot, cold or boiling water, purelife.  They're only one of those things you'd put in if you were doing a total kitchen remodel.  You have to get into the walls to install them....so ya probably wouldn't want to put it on a perfectly good kitchen wall.

  Russ.....the pic of the one I posted is about $300 I think.

  There are some on ebay, but they too are going for  around 2 to 400 bucks.  Some of them look like a bargain, but they don't include the tanks.

  This one is looking good so far, with the current bid at $55.79.

I've always heard that method is THE best Lil Me.  I personally am not able to distinguish the difference....but then again, I'm not a big tea drinker.  But 'rules' for making some things have come about for a reason.

  Cleaning and organizing......the never ending story.

  I'm still trying to reclaim my garden.  It was a mess when I got home, with many of my planters deader than a door nail. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/9.gif)   I should have asked my kitty sitter to throw a little water on them.

 Really? Ive never heard this before.. is there anything behind this or is it just something that you always did/ heard of?

  Yup.....it's true.    There is 'scientific' back-up for this.....I just don't know what it is. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)  But logically....most 'tender' veggies, would be overcooked if started in cold water and then brought to a boil.  I learned it from one of my very first cook books when I was a youngun.

  Actually, I forgot to add the main point for that little blurb, which was in tune with Lil Me's comment about starting with cold water for her tea.  The same rule applies......start with cold water.

Add:  I also heard it again many years later from watching Good Eats.  Great cooking show, that is more about the science of cooking than it is a recipe type of cooking show.  Alton Brown does a great job on this program.....he's quite funny.  For example, he'll do a show on the potato.....then go through which type of potato is best for baking, boiling, frying, potato salad etc......and he explains why.

I like the names of some of the programs that Alton does......like 'Give Peas a Chance'.  lol

  I also like his approach to cooking, because he teaches about food, not about recipes. (if that makes any sense)...although he includes that as well.  But the recipes make more sense, when you learn why you are using a specific cooking method.

People who take part in the Terry Fox run are an amazing bunch. Keep up the good work, LM.

  Nothing spectacular. Lise Jr. won a prize draw from the local library so she's super stoked about the whole thing.

  Just been to the dentist yesterday for a cleaning. I hate the hygienist there. Dunno. He doesn't struck me as someone who would warmed up to young folks. My girls didn't even want to be near him but as soon as the dentist saw Lise Jr., she sat on the chair and co-operate with him. I guess kids can tell if you're a kid-friendly person or not within nano seconds.

  Hub and I were just talking about what a fabulous trip we had, to revisit so many of my 'old haunts'.  We didn't see as much wildlife as I was hoping, but the landscape alone was more than satisfying.

   Still in awe. The ground you covered in general is amazing in itself.

My weekend was your typical person who studies too much weekend. Spent 4hrs during a huge party night typing up a report on friday, walked around, found some new friends randomly at like midnight.
Then biked 40k the next morning and accidentally broke my sunglasses under the Lions Gate. (embarassing) haha oops. Woke up today tired, couldn't walk, roomie said "wow SD you look out of it", tried to make a smoothie from a blender. I don't know how to use a blender and I used to many frozen strawberries. What came out of it was a strawberry ice cream minus the 'ice cream'. haha Then I spent the afternoon being a journalist then back to learning german and now Kafka reading before zzzz.

oh dear, I need longer days.

I usually end up making pork pot pie, or cubing it up...batter and deep fry....serve with stirfry veggies and rice.....and a little S&amp;S on the side.  Not THE most creative...but something we both like.

  add: for a real quick pot pie, you can use mushroom soup for the gravy....precook your veggie cubes and a cheatin crust or puff pastry.  Of course none of these would pass the heart-smart police.

 Yay!  Sounds like you have a story to tell us, purelife.
 
 I'm trapped in bad driving mode.   I have been spaced out for about a month...and my driving is suffering.  Today I was pulled over for running a stop sign- I was turning right and apparently I slowed, but didn't stop.  Mr Officer knew that I had *no idea* what I'd done wrong, so he let me go with a warning.
 
 About 5 blocks later I realized I did EXACTLY the same thing at a red light (turning right- slowed but didn't stop) and there was another cop behind me.  Fortunately, I didn't get pulled over the 2nd time...

Had cheerios for breaky and not too sure what its gonna be for lunch. But got called by dad and his sister that we are heading over to grandma's to clean out her place.. should be interesting.

Hope everyone has a good day.
Hey Michel,, everytime I have cereal and get up to get another cup of coffee or something like that, I come back to having to fight the cat out of my cereal so I can eat it. I used to let her have some of the remaining milk in the bowl, to now having to constantly fend her off.

G'morn Michel.

Carbohydrates. I would say they are not bad for you. Important part of a balanced diet. Atkins carbo free diet is a joke if you ask me. Carbs are good if you live a busy lifestyle.

  just the plate I had at Opa had rice, bread, sauce, salad, and a small piece of chicken. The Tzasiki(sp?) sauce was ok.

  I didn't want it to end.  It was a blast.  Started on the Friday night at the school, Saturday night at convention type of meeting place with catered dinner and live music, followed by a party at the organizers home.  Whatever reasons anybody would have for not attending a highschool reunion will most likely find, that whatever obstacle that is holding them back has magically disappeared over the years.

 Had a good time at my 10 year.   Was part of the reunion committee.  Had drinks on Fri, dinner on Sat (part of larger school reunion activity), brunch on Sun.  Had little kids at the time, so didn't close down the bar on any of the nights.
 
 Didn't have 15 year.  Still a few years shy of my 20th.

No, I never have.  I guess they're just not something I'd expect to find there.  

  I have a friend who bought a couple many years ago, at a thrift store for 25 cents each.  She didn't know what she had. (nor did the thrift store I assume)   I have looked ever since.  Not just because they are valuable.....but because they are so amazing.

 SD- Nothing "bad" is going to happen to you at Main and Hastings.   It's not like walking thru Compton.
 
 Btw, Chinatown food rocks.  Foo's Ho Ho (with the big neon sign at Pender and Columbia) or Kam Gok Yuen for wonton (half a block east on Pender) or New Town for steamed buns and bakery stuff (few doors down from Kam Gok Yuen).  It's cheap, unprentenious home cooking at its best.  p.s. Avoid the bathrooms.

[/p]yeah, I was at hastings and main at around 5ish last year. I told my friends that it wasn't that bad, then they start talking about going by there late at night and walk down some back alley (why would anyone walk in a back alley at night no matter where it was). They made it sound super dangerous, but still doesn't compare to some neighbourhoods I know where you can't walk across the street or you're likely to get shot, to neighbourhoods that are ruled by anarchy and people steal bricks from buildings. You just can't compare American inner cities, I'm sorry guys. lol[/p]The only part that's creepy is the fact that people are just standing there. Nobody hangs around outside in bad neighbourhoods at home, because of drive by frequencies and its just dangerous to be out at night. So the only hard part for me is getting used to walking by less then a few feet from a person who is completely lost. That's the tough part about DTES. Its not a physical emotion of 'wow this place looks like a war zone' (n. st. louis e. st. louis,) but it's an open air asylum, people just standing there.

  Can you sell it ?  If you're not ever going to use it....is it worth the space it will take to store it ?

(HAHAHA...listen to me.....like I have it all sorted out.....HAHAHAHAHAAAA)

Fun afternoon in Abbotsford picking apples.  Amazingly cute baby pygmy goats there- same size as a bunny.  I was tempted to smuggle one home.

I'm eventually having the Costco pizza we all bought two weeks ago. Tomorrow it looks like I'll have to make a food run. I don't want to go to Safeway though, stupid expensive.

&lt;snicker snicker&gt; LM sure has a way with words.. :)

I got lots done today.. I moved that brake lathe 10 feet further into the yard behind some stuff and after cleaning it a bit more and greased it for preservation, i covered it in a green tarp so hopefully it blends in with all the rest of the yard.

I also carried on with my shelving and organization of nuts/bolts/bits n bobs into these cool bin thingys i got from costco. I got about ten bins done then decided that was enough of that for today, as I noticed my brother behind me was filling the containers we used to have teh odd ends in with more stuff as soon as i emptied them out.

I also moved some stuff around to get a better feel of how to deal with it.. and ended up restacking it about 15 feet away.. so dont know how much that can be called accomplishment. Oh one of the boxes ended up back into the house, which is where it origionally came from like 6 months ago when we were cleaning out that section of the house. Its pretty sad really, lol.

You must have a lawnmower. It must be gas and blech out smoke once in a while as punishment when you dont use it.

Although im having soft spots right now for you wanting a goat.

Oh Russ.....I can SO relate to you.    

  You gotta wonder what we could accomplish if we eliminated the time involved in the moving of 'the stuff' into new homes every 3 months.  Here's the spin-off problem with organizing 'stuff'.......I am equally as titillated about finding new organizing stuff... for my stuff.  They're always coming out the the coolest new stuff for that.

  Hiya all. Great night on Saturday. Gave a b'day party. Lise Jr. Jr. totally loved the heart shaped cake from Maxims with all them wee strawberries and cheeries. Definitely worth the extra $$ as it tasted so fresh and yummy.

  Now she's happily playing with her new toys so we're good for a few days before she loses interest in them. Ha.

  Round two is just in a few hours and I haven't even gotten ready yet. *sigh*

Round 2? Is that one with family or friends? Glad to hear she liked her cake and toys!

Well, I think its another day of playing around down the back, but on a much slower scale, lol.

Back from Costco.  HAD to get another set of those scrumptious sheets. I know that I will never sleep on anything but.  Manns snap peas, a new hand mixer, some Mediterranean sea salt in a grinder, and a pack of 80 little cannisters of play dough. (lol)  I'm going to bag up 4 or 5 in a goodie bag for Hallowe'en.

  Round two with family only. Made a whole bunch of roasted yam and sweet potatoes plus a chick pea curry dish. Tuxedo cake from Save-On to wrap up the lunch.

 It was a good hike and she is a fit gal. She practically ran up the mountain.  Of course after a good day of hiking, we had to put the calories back on with some booze. The B-Day party was good. Lots of people. All of my buddy's neighbours came over so there was a good crowd. Lots of food too. Good night was had by all.  Today I made a nice breakfast...almost lunch breakfast. Then relaxed the rest of the day by myself. It was sweet. Now I have some kitchen mess to clean up, then maybe some couch time.

 G'night

What is wrong with sweating and exercise? She is super fit. Loves hiking and also is a yoga freak too. I just need to get her on a mountain bike and we are good to go.

 High heels have their time and place. But I could never take a girl seriously if all she wanted to do was sit around town worrying about malls, clothes, watching TV in a shoebox sized condo, and worrying about what Britney Spears will do next.

  Romance is in the air. It's certainly at work. We know a guy who likes our co-worker and he's not ashame to show it. I think they're a great couple but she's so hesistant about the whole process. She's fifty and he's like forty but who cares? They make a lovely couple. I just wish she would throw caution into the wind and go out with him. Just once!

 Awesome!  Sounds a bit like "bok suey" style salmon.  Steamed fish (or canned fish) with a mixture of hot soy sauce, oil, pepper, chopped ginger and green onions (if you have any).  You can heat the soy/oil in the micro.
 
 Hot Tetley for me this morning (feeling about 80% right now).
 Had a few last night with the girls.  Stayed up late after strata council.

Morning all. It's so wet and cold out there, ah well, time to don your boots and coats again. *sigh*

  I had winter melon last night. It was wonderful! Mixed with chicken soup and a bit of chilli, the soup was fantastic. Too bad it was all I had - no wonder I'm starving. I've decided to cut down on the carbs for the time being so I can loose a bit more weight hence the soup. So far, so good. No chocolates, no donuts, not even a spill of coffee and I'm surviving!

For sure Lise.  I think it's a change of season because I don't feel like salads but more soup. :)

Hi purelife and all!

  Lise, coffee has no carbs in it. Or are you giving it up for another reason? I don't uses sugar or cream in my coffee, just a splash of milk.

  I could give up a lot of things in life, but giving up coffee would be like giving up air.

Yes, coffee is my religion!

I am off to Kelowna for a friend's opening of a business. I don't want to say exactly what it is. But he is excited and he is throwing an opening celebration. Lots of friends should be there. Good excuse to go see my mom too.  Not bringing the girl I have been dating lately. We are due for a weekend apart. At least I am anyways. I need a small road trip by myself.

Our season changes too rapidly for maximum colour.  I remember the vibrant reds and neon oranges when I was a kid.....but the last decade has gone from green to yellow to brown to raking.

*I just re-read that, and it sounds like I think I was a kid a decade ago. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)

  The colours come from the sugar content in the leaves...and needs the right conditions to change the chemical change slowly.  The brightest autumn colors happen when dry, sunny days are followed by cool, dry nights. Our blasted 'moisture' is messing things up. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)

 Hum, weird. Climate change or selective memory? The Fall colours are as amazing as usual back East as far as I can remember. The long week end of Thanksgiving is the opportunity to see the colours (assuming it hasn't rain too much with strong winds).



One thing is for sure, not a lot of colours here except wet green.

  OMG....that's what our other French Canadian friends used to say. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)

   I would definitely say climate change.  I used to tell them that we used to get lots of snow, and they told me I was crazy.  I actually had to show them pictures....they didn't believe those either.  They also told me that top of the thigh-high snow when I was little was different than top of the thigh as a grown up. DUH !  I assured them that I was talking about my dad.  They didn't believe it.

That could lower your risk of cavities?

 [P align=left xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"]If it sounds too good to be true, think again.

 [P align=left]Coffee, the much maligned but undoubtedly beloved beverage, just made headlines for possibly cutting the risk of the latest disease epidemic, [A onclick="return sl(this,'','embd-lnk');" href="http://diabetes.webmd.com/guide/type-2-diabetes"][FONT color=#006699]type 2 diabetes[/FONT][/A]. And the real news seems to be that the more you drink, the better.

 [H3]Reducing Disease Risk[/H3] [P align=left][SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small"]After analyzing data on 126,000 people for as long as 18 years, Harvard researchers calculate that compared with not partaking in America's favorite morning drink, downing one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce diabetes risk by single digits. But having six cups or more each day slashed men's risk by 54% and women's by 30% over j-ava avoiders.[/SPAN]

 [P align=left][SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small"]Though the scientists give the customary "more research is needed" before they recommend you do overtime at Starbuck's to specifically prevent diabetes, their findings are very similar to those in a less-publicized Dutch study. And perhaps more importantly, it's the latest of hundreds of studies suggesting that coffee may be something of a health food -- especially in higher amounts.[/SPAN]

 [P align=left][SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small"]In recent decades, some 19,000 studies have been done examining coffee's impact on health. And for the most part, their results are as pleasing as a gulp of freshly brewed Breakfast Blend for the 108 million Americans who routinely enjoy this traditionally morning -- and increasingly daylong -- ritual. In practical terms, regular coffee drinkers include the majority of U.S. adults and a growing number of children.[/SPAN]

 [P align=left][SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small"]"Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful," says Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts its own medical research and tracks coffee studies from around the world. "For most people, very little bad comes from drinking it, but a lot of good."[/SPAN]

 [P align=left][SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small"]Consider this: At least six studies indicate that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's, with three showing the more they drink, the lower the risk. Other research shows that compared to not drinking coffee, at least two cups daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in liver cirrhosis risk, [/SPAN][SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small"]and nearly half the risk of gallstones.[/SPAN]

 [P align=left][SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small"]Coffee even offsets some of the damage caused by other vices, some research indicates. "People who smoke and are heavy drinkers have less heart disease and liver damage when they regularly consume large amounts of coffee compared to those who don't," says DePaulis.[/SPAN]

 [P align=left][SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small"]There's also some evidence that coffee may help manage asthma and even control attacks when medication is unavailable, stop a headache, boost mood, and even prevent cavities.[/SPAN]

 Lately I've been having a mug of Tetley in the morning.  If I let the teabag steep in the mug for a couple of minutes, there's a good amount of caffeine there.

Corned beef with sauerkraut on rye for brekky.
 
 Congee at Hon's for lunch.
 Question: Does anyone know why the staff at Hon's automatically speaks to me in English?  Do I have a "look" which suggests that I don't speak Chinese?  (I DO order in English- I don't have a good Cantonese vocabulary, I tend to badly mispronouce the words, and the only words I do know are village dialect, not proper Cantonese...for instance, I found out today that soy chicken should be called "yow guy"...I've always known "see yew guy" or "shee yew guy")
 
 Soy chicken (from Hon's), rice and fried garlic spinach will be for dinner.

WEll, to be honest I left here and started talking to a buddy on the cell about his suspension probs on his truck.. so we started talking about parts that can be taken from other vehicles and used. Then I started talking about how i needed some stuff and then he said he needed some stuff, and i uh.. forgot about the milk and ended up at the autowreckers. I found some of the stuff i needed and stuff he did too. I did get teh milk! Starfish was not amused when i got back home after 45 minutes with parts and no milk.

Good afternoon.

purelife, I just cut up the yams, cover cookie sheet with olive oil. Bake at around 425 degrees for 20 minutes and then flip them, cook another 15 minutes or so. I add a touch of dill seasoning.

  Watch closely, they may burn.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 30 08 01:42

purelife, have you tried drying the yam fries with a paper towel first? I usually do that then sprinkle them with a dash of olive oil and salt. They usually come out ok.

  Trying the water diet. As in drinking tons of water to cleanse my system. Right now, that toilet bowl at work is my best friend.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 30 08 08:31
yep, I do that Lise.  I actually boil them a wee bit then pat dry then add to oven.  I'll have to try again with less oil and then bake.  Maybe I'm not drying them enough or cooking them for too long?  oh well....

Didn't you drink water before, Lise?  I read somewhere that you take your weight, divide by two and divide by 8.  The answer is the number of cups you need a day for your body.  For example, someone weighing 160 would need 10 glasses of water/day.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Oct 01 08 05:42
Boil them first? I don't ever boil them becaues they absorbed a lot of water content hence the sogginess. Crowding them also makes them soggy. I try to space them out a bit so they can cook evenly.

  I've not been on a water diet before and it isn't a strict one. I'm just starting by myself so I drink whenever I can, not forcing myself but just taking it easy. I don't want to go overboard with water because you can get crazy so it's just a bit here and there. Not up to 8 to 10 cups - at least not yet.

  Have you tried it before?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I drink a lot of water, especially when detoxing.
 My preference is to drink at least 500ml of water at a time, 4+times per day. (instead of constantly sipping water).
 I find I can limit my trips to the bathroom this way.  (by passing more water at each visit).

Hope everyone is having a great morning so far!
 
 I require 1 office elf:
 Primary duty will be to empty paper shredder.
 
 My office is a gawdawful mess, due in part to my procrastination about emptying the shredder drawer, which has been full for months.  I have paper (aka "shreddables") piled up on top of the shredder.
 
 I have been procrastinating in part because the act of emptying the shredder creates a mess on the floor....and my vacuum cleaner receptable is full and also needs to be emptied....
 
 So I also require 1 vacuum cleaner elf.

Hello! Hello all! Just popping in to say a quick hello. Boy, it's a wet, wet day. I went downtown to help clear my dad-in-law's stuff from the office. He's retiring so we had a lotta junk to get rid of. I hate to be the janitor this evening. Poor sod.

  I must say, I'm not liking the public washroom in downtown. I was the Harbour Centre food court and this lady started to talk to herself. The next thing I know she was unzipping and showing off her breasts. I wouldn't have minded had she not looked like a drug addict and fat. Ugh.

  One more day and then it's the weekend! Yaaay!!

My dinner was an invented Sea Shepherd's Pot Pie (needs better name!).  Basically a salmon vegetable pie with a mashed potato topping.
 
 Pie shell from the freezer
 Add: sauteed mixture of onions, veggies,  a can of salmon
 Top with: mashed potatoes.
 
 It was surprisingly really good :)

 Have a great weekend, everyone!
 
 I had a fairly hellish day in the office.  I discovered a bunch of major errors in my business accounts late last night.  I forced my self to go to bed at midnight, because I knew that trying to untangle the mess in a tired state would make it worse.
 
 This morning: panicked calls to my accountant and CCRA.  Followed by hours of manual deletions and re-entries.
 
 *sighs*
 
 I'm ready to call it quits for today.
 
 Breakfast was a PUMPKIN SCONE from Cob's bread and a bowl of natural yoghurt with nuts.
 Lunch was a bowl of leftovers and a fistful of vitamins.
 
 Drink, anyone?

G'd afternoon!

A big stiff drink is coming to my lips in the near future! Oh, and some pub food!! (and my favorite pub waitress!!)(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/3.gif)

  Russ, yes I work with a youth group. Not really work, but volunteer some Saturdays to spend time with troubled teens. I am not a guidance counsellor or anything. I take kids to skate parks, bike rides, movies, hiking, beach, or just for mini-golf.

I have been bad all summer as I have had a hard time finding time for it. Summer is so busy.

Most of the kids are good kids from troubled homes. A lot of their parents should be shot, but that is another story.  I have a close friend that runs a youth group, and he talked me into helping out.

I would rather see a kid on a skateboard and having a blast, seeing how fun life can be, rather than sitting in a back alley with a needle. The best is taking them for a hike. They are skeptical at first, but love it once they are there.

Good evening everyone.

The original cave has been closed to the public beginning of the 60's because algae created by the breath of the visitors was rapidly covering the painting in the 50's and 60's.

This is very interesting..there must've been many visitors to create algae. I like your story around the avatar.

 Interesting facts, Michel.
 
 Lise- glad you liked the Apple Barn!  We went back on Sat.  Got 1 bag of Gala and 1 bag of Jonagold.  The slightly sour Jonagold apples make awesome applesauce.  (had pork chops tonight)  Made applesauce in the micro in 5 minutes.  Peeled and sliced 3 apples, put in a bowl with water, some sugar.  Nuked, stirred, added cinnamon.

I love the place. Just wish it was a bit closer as it was quite a drive for us. Apple sauce, eh? Sounds delicious. Maybe I'll do just that. I was thinking of making apple cobbler but the apples weren't sweet and I  need the sweetness to balance the 'cake' on top. Maybe I'll throw in a can of peaches into the mix and see what happens.

Take it easy SD.  Flus/colds generally take 7 days. (give or take)  Lots of rest and lots of vitamin C and fluids.

I'm jealous. You get to go out and enjoy the outdoor. *sigh*

  Just survived an interesting afternoon yesterday. Had oral sugery on what's called a [A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucocele"]mucocle[/A]. Performed by an oral surgeon, of course. We did it at work so it was a fraction of the cost otherwise it would have cost me a pretty penny. At first I was given to a student, the oral surgeon was nowhere in sight. He peformed the intra-oral exam and vital signs. I told him, "No offense to you but if the oral surgeon isn't coming, I'm not going to go through with this." There was NO WAY I was gonna let a student work on me.

  Thank God, my friend chased down the doctor and got him to come in. He was fantastic though it was kinda funny to hear him call out for an instrument and there was none in sight. I was surrounded by many, many eyes because I was an interesting case study. Anyways, stupid bugger(s) is out (on its way to biospy) and I'm healin' nicely tho I must say, I'm a tad sore.

Good morning miss Lise, PL, LM, and of course mr ML

Sunny today! And starfishie is feeling better! And of course I feel like crap. LOL.

Playing around on the Toy again today.. lots to do and hopefully can what i want done, done today.

Went to make reservations on  BC Ferries last eve after browsing DS, and all the ferries on friday and monday except for first and last sailings are booked. I think Im going to have to get a Coast Card and buy some Assured Loading Tickets. I dont really want to right now as the cost of fuel is going down and they are going to reduce fares soon... I think I will wait and suffer this time.

 Drat.. just realized I missed most of you.

Good to hear that you are ok Lise.. I read up on that doohickey on your lip as I had never heard of it before. Always something to learn! Anyhow.. it says its created by local trauma to a salivary gland which in turn ruptured (I think I came to this conclusion correctly). So a hard fall or Lise jr winning an arguement could have caused it? What about chewing on your inner cheek, or a sudden hit making you bite hard? Could that cause one? Sorry, it just piqued my curiousity so now Im thinking about it quite a bit. Sad, I know.

Morning Russ.  Glad to hear she's feeling better but hope you're feeling good too.

  I was thinking about the same thing when I read Lise's link on what she had done.  It surely is interesting.  Then, instinctively, I checked all around my mouth (wth my tongue) to see if I had it.  Silly, huh?

  An entry level job position opened up in my company and I have a friend who would do really well in it.  She doesn't have the office experience but I'm going to help with her resume, cover letter and suggest pointers.

Honestly? Not too badly. Its only to see parents and relatives which is relatively easy with drinking Double Dark N Dirties. Heavily.
My brother and I will head over friday morn and just wait for a ferry. On the way back I dont really need to be back so I will just sit there with my Laptop and a bunch of movies.

For the way back my brother will just use my parents's coast card.

Starfishie and I will be getting one.


Michel: yeha it sucks that they are already reserved.. but that helps pay for the ferries. Its like 15 bucks more to reserve ahead of time, but the whole ferry cannot be reserved up so if you wait in line you will get on. Also if you get the Coast Card with the ALT (assured loading tickets) they are double the regular price, but then you need only use them when you need them. You have to buy ten at a time (its like 1200 bucks). But if you dont use them after 24 months, you can use the cost of the ones you didnt use to buy another 10 ALT's.


Im having wiring problems on my Toy.. I think I fried my expensive Deck in my truck. I think some of the wires I had in there were mislabelled. Dammit.

Going to go on a ferry over the long weekend? Wowser, Russ. You're either insane or very, very brave. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Well, to answer you question, a mucocle is usually caused by trauma to the lips. I guess I must have chewed on my lips hard enough to cause the gland to swell to that level. In most cases, the gland usually goes away but in my case, there was enough trauma to the gland that it just bubble up. When the tissue built over the traumatized area, it had nowhere to drain so it kept building and building up like a balloon. There was no choice but to remove the offending gland so new one(s) can start growing and healing. At least that's from what I understand.

  Prognosis is good but there's still a slight probability it may come back which means I will probably have to remove it again. You can imagine my joy at that.

 How long did you have to sit in the chair?  How are you feeling now?

Dinner was can of sardines and papaya and a sh*t load of vitamins. I usually just take one multi-vitamin but I read somewhere that it doesn't have enough of what you need daily.  So, I take one small multi-vitamin and add others separately like vitamin C, E, B complex, ginseng, etc.  I never used to care about vitamins but now I do.... A LOT!

Total procedure time took a mere 10 mins. The entire process from case presentation to delivery to end took almost 2 hours. It's a learning facility so you need to a patient (excuse the pun) in the chair.

  Yeah, I can still talk and eat though it's a bit sore. I can't smile too wide otherwise it pulls at the stiches. It ain't a pretty sight tho. I think I'm going to loose a lotta weight this way as I'm pecking at my food and eating only soft food. Oh well.

  Hey purelife, why don't you take that big ass pill that has all the multi-vitamins in it? Centrum or something like that?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Oct 07 08 09:19
 I made butternut and acorn squash soup the other day and it was yummy.

In case any one of you is interested in making a simple yummy soup, here was what I did.

1. cube your favorite squash (butternut, acorn, pumpkin, etc) and drizzle olive oil, sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper and place in oven for about 25 minutes
2.  cook onions with 2 tsp of cumin, then add 1 celery stalk and 1 carrot, chopped up
3.  then add your baked squash along with a litre of chicken stock

Cook until all is tender (about 30 minutes or so) and then hand blend everything.  Sprinkle with parsley.

Lil Me - I'll be trying that chicken paprikash over the weekend.  I found a recipe very similiar to what you said and will give it a go. :)

 purelife- I'm not sure if I mentionned this earlier, but I just started taking vitamin C and zinc last week.   Trying not to get sick.  Going to start taking a daily multi-vit, too.  I ran out of multivitamins MONTHS (or years?) ago and never bothered to re-stock, but got a new bottle at Costco today.

There's nothing wrong with losing weight. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)

Soup sounds yummy, purelife!  Funny, I made a soup today (no recipe).  Mashed up some steamed pumpkin, added some sliced apples and veg stock, salt, pepper, cooked everything.  Served with green onion and croutons.

Did you enjoy your soup creation, Lil Me and did your family enjoy it too?  I like making up soups, too.  Sadly, it's only me who ends up eating it for days...especially the squash-type soups.

My colleague showed me this tablet where you drop it in water and it fizzes.  It has 1000mg vitamin C and other B vitamins.  It's said to help relieve stress and helps prevent colds.  You can buy it in Shoppers in a slim container, kinda blue color... didn't buy it yet but probably will. :)  This might help you, Lil Me.

 Hey Lise - I get this...sold in Costco States only.  I also add extra Bcomplex vitamins on top of it.  I take it every other day but make sure I take vitamin C and B complex every day along with some sort of fish oil if I haven't eaten fish that day.

 Hi Lise. :)
Yeah I'm on antibiotics, they're clearing up the pneumonia, but not the ear issue which seems to be getting worse. I can't hear much of anything now, voices and noises are extremely muzzled and the white noise/static is beyond annoying. It has been a week of constant static/noise coming from the ear, makes it hard to think. I visited Hospital today, that lovely dark depressing building. lol If nothing clears up ears wise after 6 days (until the meds run out) I go back.

Hey purelife, if you like chicken paprikash, I could give you my Oma's recipe, it has nothing in common with Lil Me's recipe she found. lol
off the top of my head you need two types of paprika, tomato sauce/juice, garlic, lots of garlic, chicken and onions. Good thing about paprika dishes if you wanted to make pork instead, same ingriedents just change the meat.

got a call from the homeland. People are chanting "kill him, kill him" at Palin rallies (talking about Obama) and the farm has come to the opinion that "no white person should ever vote for a black man"

It's only getting worse.
McCain calls Obama "that"
And McCain people are coming out of the wood work with their views.

"Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

The reception had been better in Clearwater, where Palin, speaking to a sea of "Palin Power" and "Sarahcuda" T-shirts, tried to link Obama to the 1960s Weather Underground. "One of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," she said. ("Boooo!" said the crowd.) "And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target [a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/The+Pentagon?tid=informline" target=""]the Pentagon[/a] and our [a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/U.S.+Capitol?tid=informline" target=""]U.S. Capitol[/a],' " she continued. ("Boooo!" the crowd repeated.)[/p]"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience."[/p]

In the 90s I guessed that America was in a PaxRomana period whenever we'd study Roman history in grade school. Of course it made sense, lots of people were going around '96-2000 saying "we're the greatest and will always be powerful." ehh That's when I started looking to Europe for ideas. what can I say, I read my history book, other kids didn't give a shit and said so in class. losers.

I knew about Al queda from the mid 90s so I could go a ha! there's our Gauls. Just get some over zealous crazy person as president who thinks he can destroy an ideaology steeped in oppression when they secretly are our puppet masters and aren't really a 'state'.  Woo bankruptancy.

Don't know why this guy is getting into my way when I'm so incredibly busy. What's up with asking stupid questions that don't make any sense? Sheesh.

Had sushi/bento box (at least that's what it looked liked) and miso. Then had a major crisis dilemma bubble tea or Granville island beer hmmmm duh, went with Bubble Tea. haha

Beautiful night tonight walking around campus. Might go for a walk again.
Discovered the energy drink of an ipod. First time ever I walked around campus today listening to music, did wonders. Although I did become a bit spacey and nostalgic for things, but I think that's because of the music. lol

I have a liking for miso, I ordered it 4 times at an all you can eat place a couple weeks ago. lol

the dean is getting mad over a joke, the last paragraph about me and the 90s is me talking sarcastically, which is usually where people who have met me in real life start laughing on the floor. It just doesn't translate well on a message board.
98% of this world I come in contact with thinks I'm hilarious, the other 2% don't get self deprecation and sarcasm which is pretty much how I role.

lol

"I was introverted as a child, so self-deprecation became my defense mechanism in middle school and high school. . . Self-deprecation is rooted in people making fun of you. The only way to really defeat other people making fun of you is to get on the board and start to make fun of yourself, kind of show them that it doesn't bother you. . . Then, self-deprecation comes to the next level when you find your own voice in that self-deprecation. . . I make fun of myself and not only does it make the audience comfortable of who I am as a performer but it also gives me the green light to make fun of other things as well."

-It's called finding a voice

anyways I feel like another walk

For my sore throat, I cut up some ginger, pour hot water and cover the cup to infuse it.  Then add honey if you wish but I prefer just the ginger for the zing. :)  

One of these days, I'll get my a** over to Samosa Garden for butter chicken...gotta use up this Entertainment coupon...

I just want a repeat of tonight for tomorrow night. lol

I don't think I'll be doing much this weekend, might crash at my buddy's place downtown for a bit. It's the 8th so he has all his furniture now, finally.

G'morn.

I actually have a decent road trip planned. Heading to Spokane tonight. I am meeting friends from Alberta there to visit our favorite bike shop. I am due for a bike and they are having an end of season blowout. I will save over $1500 so the road trip pretty much pays for itself. Then we are going to hang out around North Idaho for a bit, then I will make my own way through Creston, then Kootenay Lake, then my mom's in the Okanagan for Thanksgiving Sunday.

Back into the city on Monday...bleh!!

  Have a good weekend.

Yes, I hope so too. It seems after duty and such, it should still be a good deal. If not, I love this shop down there. It is like nothing I seen in Canada. Spokane is a nice place. Big enough to get good music. Small enough the traffic doesn't suck. Just that damn Hayden Lake area gives it a bad name.

  Cya guys.

Happy 50th to your in-laws, Lil Me.  That's amazing!  Have a great time with your family.  

  Van - sounds like a great road trip....things in the States are so cheap.  

  Hope you're feeling better Russ.

  Today is my Friday and I'm super excited.  We have our Thanksgiving dinner with family tomorrow evening and have some friends over the next day and I gotta head to the States again to return something and we're just going to take it easy on Monday.  Gonna spend some time baking and cooking.  Gotta make my pumpkin bread and more soup.

  Morning Michel.

  Heya Russ, you still on the island or back home?

  We just came back from Harrison Hot Springs. Woohoo! Loved every bit of it. The weather was perfect, (it was dry and not windy!) and the kids had fun. It was nice and relaxing. I wish I can go back.

  Wot a rip-off at the sandcastle. In order to view these mighty fine works, you had to pay $8 for an adult and $6 for a kid. Meh.

Where did you go, Michel?
.
Turkey with the in-laws today.  It was quite nice because we ate at 2pm followed by dessert a couple hours later.  Went back to the hotel to go swimming before bed.

Jeckyl had a mishap yesterday am.  He fell off his bike, cut his chin open and required stitches.  Mr LM ran back to the hotel to get the car, drove to the park to pick up Jeckyl, and locked the keys in the car.
 He and Heckyl waited for BCAA road service while Jeckyl and I went to the medical clinic in a taxi.

Sounds familiar, purelife. I think we might have visited the lake but I can't be sure. We did make a right hand drive and drove down a couple of blocks till we couldn't go any more. It was a small park by a lake. Is that the same one?

  Roast chicken tonight complete with stuffing and roast yams, pumpkin &amp; sweet potatoes. I'm also doing an easy salad and stir-fry broccoli with mushrooms. End with sweet pumpkin pie. My friends are also dropping in with shephard's pie. Can't wait.

Happy Thanksgiving!

  Er, welcome back to the Island PC!

Yes Lise we are still on the island.. Coming back to Van tomorrow mid morning.

  Thats too bad LM! Glad to hear hes doing ok!

We unfortunately missed connecting some friends here.. but next time I guess.

  Its pretty grey and wavy on the beach today but still nice. The excitement started today was when the level switch in the washing machine went and flooded my parents laundry room. After fixing that my dad decided to install a waterline to his new fridge with the icemaker.. and managed to puncture the pipe but not seal the fitting. So we ran about trying to find the water shutoff as it flooded the kitchen.

Starfishie and my mother were not impressed for some reason.

  Hope everyone got turkey leftovers like PL and LM seem to be taunting us with.

  You around for a while again Michel or are you taking another trip again soon?

  No turkey leftovers for us either....love a turkey sammich the next day.  We just bought a turkey thigh, which is more than enough for the two of us....actually, it was a little too much.....I'm full.

  Good thing you weren't south Island.  Apparently from Victoria to Ladysmith was without power yesterday.....and they still don't know what the cause was.

YEah.. I wish I had known earlier you were around home. We left mid afternoon to Nanaimo for something to do as my dad came up with a third idea of what to do and Starfish saved me by saying we need to go somewhere.

  We are going to do a turkey sometime midweek just so my brother and I get turkey leftovers for sandwiches. We might even eat some for dinner that night.

  Good to hear you had a good time with your angel.. and happy bday to Mr Sawdust!

  Well, talk to later.. gotta hit the hay as we are getting up early to head out.

 Tried sometihng new yesterday for dinner. Tenderized pork steaks, slow cooked on the bbq, with montreal chicken dry seasoning, then covered in lots of mozzerella, bit of olive oil and tomato`s.
 
 Tonight Im trying to come up with something else.
 
 So also got a call this am.. Starfishie is now sharing her vehicle with ehr sister. Apparently her sister managed to write off her Dads cavalier which they all shared. Its not that old but both airbags went off, so cause of the cost of them, the car is now written off. So.. apparently Im car hunting again.

Sounds like you had a good day Michel!

The mozzerella covered pork was pretty good.. only thing different I will do next time is to use a little bit of the pesto tomato sauce that i have next time under the mozzerella and tomato's. THAT would be even better in my opinion.

Tomorrow I think Im going to smoke some salmon as long as it isnt raining or windy.

Yea.....that sounds like it might be good !  So pesto instead of the chicken seasoning rub ?

  I like experimenting too....not as much for new flavours....although that's a bonus of course....but just to cook something different. The old faves are still yummy, but I think I went through a 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' stage with meals, and found myself bored with cooking.

Another fun evening which ended up at wallmart! There was some things my brother wanted to get so of course we went too. Then.. we noticed that the turkey deep fryers (which of course nobody can live without so everybody needs one) was on clearance. So we ended up getting one of those.

Decided to try it. Anybody know anything about it? Im going to try it next week.

Yeah, its too bad about the accident, but like I said to my gf.. her sister walked away from it and its only sheet metal and some bolts.

Sawdust did a turkey in one last summer.  He didn't trust the time....and consequently it was a little overcooked.  So....rule number one....no matter how crazy it seems that a turkey can cook in that short a time.....they're not kidding.

 Cool!

So did you actually use peanut oil like it states in the manual or did you use canola oil? Did you use a turkey injection?

I think its going to be a fun experience.. lotsa liquid beverages will have to be consumed.
It says 3.5 minutes per pound. I do agree with sawdust however. lol.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Oct 16 08 10:16
I think we did use peanut oil.....don't know about the injector.

  Before you start, a good plan is to fill your pot with water.....put the turkey in a plastic bag, and immerse it in the water.  However high it displaces the water....make the oil at LEAST 6 inches lower than that.  Bubbling over is the biggest hazzard.  

It can really ruin your meal.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)

Yeah we planned to do this with water adnthe turkey first just to be safe. My buddy from the states that says he does it all the time told me that its the safest and most reliable way. The safety bulletins we got with the damn thing is amazing. everywhere it states CSA this and that. I read many stories from online about people not paying attention and putting the turkey in and the boiling oil overflowing everywhere.

It says in the manual that the maximum is 3 inches from the top. I only know this cause Starfishie read all the warnings to me many times. Including the one that said it is mandatory that you be sober and not drink while doing this. I made use of the white out I bought tonight.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

This following clip is from the actual instructions, but I think it is negelecting to take into account, that if the oil is in fact at the proper cooking temperature, that it WILL bubble up like crazy.  That's usually what spills over.  So where it says...."add enough oil to equal what the water level was" is wrong wrong wrong.  You need to allow for 'bubbling'.  Less oil than water mark.  The oil needs to cover the turkey by 2 inches when fully immersed....so you need to keep your turkey to a reasonable size.

Looking forward to hearing how it goes, Russ.  *makes mental note to not watch news that night.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Before you Fry

Before beginning, (and before you even season or marinate your turkey) determine the amount of oil you'll need by placing the turkey in the basket (or on the hanger, depending on the type of fryer you are using) and putting it in the pot. Add water until it reaches about two inches above the turkey. Remove the turkey and note the water level by using a ruler to measure the distance from the top of the pot to the surface of the water. Remove the water and thoroughly dry the pot. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9f40"]Now add enough oil to equal what the water level was without the turkey in the pot.[/FONT]

 Russ- I thought you already had a turkey fryer?  I guess I'm confused.
 
 I don't have a turkey fryer, but I'm a convert to fried turkey.  LOVE it.  Fried turkey and campfire.  Mmmmmmmm.
 
 I made turkey carcass congee for the first time and have been eating it all week.

 Good morning missy LM!
I agree its raining cats and dogs. Im waiting for my coffee to be ready and then making a decision on packing up the Truck for camping tonight.. or tomorrow morning. Ill have to call the boss.

I didnt have a turkey fryer.. I had a garbage can turkey method i did while camping. Not fried.

So whats the plans for eveyryone else on this fine feathered day?

Good morning Miss Lil.....and everyone else too.

  Russ, I had confusing memories too about you having fried a turkey before.  I think it may have come up back when Sawdust and I did it...and you may have said that it was something you were anxious to try.  That would splain it.

  I may go out and do some raking in the rain.  In spite of how yucky it is out there, it's really quite warm.

Good morning PC, Russ, Lil Me, Michel and everyone else.

  I heard turkey deep fried is yummy... I guess you could also deep fry chicken too.  Lemme know how it turns out Russ.  MrPL really REALLY wants a deep fryer but I told him no.  We don't have the space and I don't like the clean up.

  Costco sells deep fry oil (I think it was grape seed oil), Russ.

  No plans for the weekend or tonight.  Just taking it easy, relaxing.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Oct 17 08 09:04
Good morning purelife !

  Do they sell the grapeseed oil at Cosco in the giant size ?  It's probably the creme de la creme of frying oils, but I think it's rather expensive.(?)

Garbage can turkey?  How?  
   
Ive been with someone thats fried a turkey.. he already had all the stuff doen so i showed up and had a beer and watched. He had his turkey already injected and the oil warm when i got there. I thought it was canola oil until i got this one and it says everywhere.. peanut oil. It took around 45 minutes. I probably told everyone its really easy and delish.. cause it is. If I could remember.

Garbage can turkey is where you take a metal garbage can, turkey, burquets, rack.
Find a place outside that has loose dirt no rocks, grass, etc.
Make sure the garbage can has had a fire inside of it to burn off the galvanization. (think growing third eye, etc)
Put the turkey on a rack that keeps it at least an inch off the ground, put a tinfoil round tray underneath for the gravy.
Invert the garbage can over hte bird so the lip is in the ground and the bottom is sticking up in the air. Make sure teh lip is about an inch below the dirt
Also make sure that the turkey doesnt touch the side of the garbage can.
Get teh burquets good and hot. Then place them on the bottom and around the lip of the garbage can.
Keep adding burquets as it needs to be about 3.5 hours till cooked.
To cook potato's and carrots, etc. Put the garbage can lid, like a hotplate onto the burquets on the bottom of hte garbage can. Wrap them in tinfoil.
To remove, use a shovel to remove the burquets from around the can and the bottom.Then to lift the can off, Use two pairs of vice grips.

Yep, bulk grape seed oil.  It is even labeled "for deep frying" if I remember correctly.  I forget how much but it wasn't that expensive.  I think there were other oils there too besides the usual canola and olive oil.

Post by: Russ on Oct 17 08 09:09
 Hope he has a good time LM!

Morning miss PL

I do remember asking questions and talking about deepfrying as I have a smaller deep fryer.. maybe that?

Im still undecided as to whether or not to camp tonight. Im thinking no and to do it tomorrow..

Garbage can turkey sounds cool Russ.  I bet there were a lot of people on the Island that wished they used that method on Thanksgiving. 200,000 people out of power for several hours during turkey cooking time.

  Camping ?  Yer such a brave soul.

  We used Canola oil. Stupidstore had a big 20l box of it for a decent price. Peanut Oil is expensive! It was a breezy day when we did it and the oil never really got to the proper temp. Still good.

  Umm....yea.  I guess I don't remember oil so good.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)   But I do remember, that you overcompensated the timing, because you didn't trust the length of time because we couldn't keep the temp up. It was still delish....but it could have been delisher.

Uhm, why would you care about what these 4th, 5th, etc year students think?  

  A student's life is all about studying and working.  There aren't any luxuries of "sleeping in" or "partying every day" (or whatever you consider a luxury) if you want the top grades.  Maybe things have changed now, but it was tough when I was in school.  I had no life.

 Will I get the results? doubtful. Although in one class working insanely hard would improve, the others depends.

It's just frustrating, the engineer roommate has a job lined up in Toronto, won't ever need to go to school again, he's set. History major who is graduating doesn't know what the heck he's doing. He'll teach English in Japan apparently for a year. Then, it's graduate school. Arts students don't have their own library or building to study, we're laughed at by the 'intellectual' circles. And I just think about being in the same position my roommate is in in a few years.

and who gets wasted on the weekends? science people.
It's annoying.

 Yes, that is funny because you are full of BS!

 You know what is really funny? You always have time to take away from your 'intense' workload to try and convince people you don't even know, you are big, tall, strong, intelligent, cultured, and liberal minded. Where in fact you come off as a very insecure little boy with a fragile eggshell mind.

The fact that I've clearly rattled you with sarcasm (which I've already have clarified to people before that it just doesn't translate well in written word, you can't write an expression, a sarcastic tone of voice, or a dead pan facial expression) speaks for itself. You never come on here unless it is to try to 'put me in my place' which is your sole m.o. in posting on DS.

Hum strange that you could feel a difference so obvious. Maybe the road was in bad shape? Bah the important is that you get what you like. At the beginning of the book, he predicts that these trucks will be very cheap eventually with extra stock available and no more buyers on the market. Maybe check for that too, you might save even more on your GM in a few months.  

  It was quite obvious.  The Tacoma rides like a car....smooth....the Nissan rattled at even the slightest bump.

  Yes, you might be right on GM in a couple months.  Right now, they are offering a $6500.00 incentive....but chances are, of the 3, they may be most likely to scramble for business.  Nissan is pretty solid, and Toyota doesn't deal at all.

Frontiers ride hard, but are mules and are good off road and they're the best looking.
non Silverado's GMC big boys have shitty interiors and are pure crap, avoid at all costs. Depreciation.
Rangers haven't been updated since 1994. Its not new, whatever a Ford rep tells you, so avoid
Tacoma's ride like cars and look like a car in the inside. Hardcore truckers hate this.
Dodge blows. People only buy Dodges for the Ram Heavy Duty Cummins diesel, but I don't see P.C. driving one of those.

 GM is dead. Its been dead for a while.

Since the 90s they've put all their money into their truck division and Corvette's/performance division. The Silverado changed everything for GM. (GMT 800)
Nobody bought Yukon's and Escalade's and Suburban's before the GMT 800.



Blazers are dangerous. They really should be banned from the road. They aren't safe. They roll over easily and killed some people my cousins knew, then my cousin and cousin in law almost died in one.

s10's, Colorado's, Cheyenne's are still death traps to me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American cars suck and I've always seen Europe as this more advanced country in terms of infrastructure and transportation mobility. It's a grass is greener on the other side point of view, but I've had this for over a decade. When certain companies restrict certain products that would be beneficial to their company and their consumers, while at the same time in every other market sell this product. That's economic choice oppression. Its I can't have what I really want, while anyone else in the world who doesn't live in the U.S. or Canada who can afford it, can? That's oppression.

Restrictions of any kind is oppression. To restrict is to oppress. I feel liberated here in Vancouver over public transit. I can wherever I want, have the freedom to take a bus, where ever I am. This might sound silly, but where I grew up there were no buses, they weren't allowed to come into my region or if they did, it was once or twice a day.  
Another form of freedom you enjoy and take for granted in Vancouver is your city's layout. I grew up in a place that oppressed the individual if you didn't have a car. It took you 20mins to walk out of my sprawl neighbourhood, which led to a street that was dedicated to more neighbourhoods. An hour later you finally were able to reach some sort of retail. If you didn't have a car, you couldn't go anywhere and you became trapped in your own home, a prison. That is the oppression of freedom of movement.

There are many oppressions in the world, but I believe oppression it is not just related to the political realm.

I guess I just don't see that as oppression.  I live in an area where there are no busses.  I would have to walk for an hour and a half to the nearest store.  That's not oppression to me, because I have the choice, the right, the freedom to live somewhere else if I don't like it.

I suppose I also have the choice, the right and the freedom to complain about it as well, but that just doesn't do anything for me.

  I feel cheated that we don't have Pyramids here though.  I mean....what's up with that !

 but you live in a rural area and like you said it was your choice. Its not realistic to expect more mobility options in a rural area. One of the main reasons people move to the rural area is just that, to get away.

I grew up in a region much bigger than Vancouver yet I never had the freedom I did as I do here.
No one should expect a public transit bus in a sparsely populated area, it's not realistic. But, when you live in a Metro of 3.5ish million and you have no options except a car (because of racial politics you probably don't understand as a person struggling or even a person with a good job who just can't afford the gas anymore. You wonder why on earth does it matter that a person of colour might take the bus, that doesn't matter to you, you need a cheaper option to get around..). When you can barely afford to own it, pay the insurance, pay the rent, pay for schooling at the community college on 6 dollars an hour and then pray that the insurance company doesn't cut your health insurance. That is economic and transportation oppression. If you live in a populated area you should have the ultimate freedom of movement.

[/DIV] Oh don't get me wrong.....I'm NOT complaining and I have no expectations.  That's kind of my point.  And if I was smack in the middle of the city, and I didn't have everything I wanted, that would be my choice as well.  It's like people who buy a house next to the airport and then complain about the noise.  They have the right to complain, but they also have the right to live somewhere else.

 But I'm not talking about people living next to an airport. Airports are like highways, you can't get rid of them, they chose to live there or the airport chose to move there, like you said.

I'm talking about mobility options. In my hometown you had one option and that was the car, taxi, carpool, with the last two options never used. Here in Vancouver depending on where you are living you have the train (westcoast), a ferry (seabus), car, walk, bus, bike, skytrain, taxi

1 option with 2 small unrealistic options never used
to
7 options of movement.

Vancouver is a more mobile, less unrestricted city and region than where I grew up. That is what I'm saying. In terms of mobility, Vancouver is not oppressed. And they're working on to make the area even more mobile. Canada Line, a line to UBC eventually, a line to PoCo, eventually they'll expand Expo to Langley. I'll probably see a line from Surrey Central to White Rock in my lifetime due to population growth and I'll see some sort of skytrain like vehicle on the North Shore and trolleys will make their return to Downtown Vancouver.

What does St. Louis have? highways to help their only one option of mobility cars. If you don't have a car, you are stuck out of luck and oppressed by your own surroundings of being a car dominated society.

It's so interesting, because online searches are hard pressed to find anything negative about the Tacoma. (except pre 2004)  Not that online searches are the be-all/end-all.....but it does make one want to find out more, when there is such a huge difference of opinion from Lemonaid.

    This from Consumer Reports.........

   [H2 class=subtitle]Compact pickups[/H2] If you want a smaller, less expensive pickup, the [A title="Price quotes from edmunds.com" href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-376976-10364198?SID=fs_Pickup Trucks_2007 Toyota Tacoma" target=new rel=nofollow]Toyota Tacoma[/A] [A onmouseover="showflyout('/include/ads/shopping-fs/shoppingcom/2007toyotatacoma.html', 354, this)" title="Price Comparison from Shopping.com" href="http://shop.consumersearch.com/2007_toyota_tacoma/linkin_id-7000712/sf-1/pid-44458282/NM-30/ND-30/VA-5/OP-w220" target=new rel=nofollow](*est. $14,180 to $24,635)[/A] gets the highest ratings among compact trucks. The base engine is a 159-hp four-cylinder, with an optional 236-hp V-6. Standard towing capacity is 3,500 pounds, but an optional V-6 tow package boosts towing capacity to 6,500 pounds. Three cabs -- a regular cab, an extended cab and a double cab -- are available. Regular and extended cabs have a six-foot truck bed. Double cabs come with a five- or six-foot bed. Gas mileage, as tested by Consumer Guide, is about 16.5 mpg for the V-6 engine in mixed driving, and in the low 20s for the base four-cylinder engine.

 The Tacoma is chosen as a Best Buy at Consumer Guide -- in fact, it's the only pickup of any size to receive a best-buy rating from Consumer Guide's editors. The Toyota Tacoma was also chosen as the best small truck for 2007 by the staff of Edmunds.com. The best reviews go to the V-6 equipped Toyota Tacoma, but if you don't need to tow much and plan to use your truck mainly as an everyday truck, the four-cylinder gets good gas mileage for a truck. The interior quality and comfort are both complimented in reviews, and the off-road proficiency is good (an off-road suspension package is also available). Handling is good, and the ride quality -- while not totally car-like -- is better than previous versions of the Tacoma. The lesser points of the truck include overall refinement and driving position, which is a little too low, according to Edmunds.com. This can affect visibility. Overall, reviews say the Tacoma is the most practical small truck, with a low price tag, even for the V-6 Tacoma.

There's a lot of reports that are biaised like Edmonston explain in his book. Newspapers, magazine or TV for example sell publicity space and time to these car manufacturers hence they will never bitch nor present the things objectively. But for consumers report, I don't know.

  That's what makes the whole thing so interesting ...if not confusing.  Of course there are biases....that's a given. (of course we can't overlook the possibility that Edmonston could have his own biases as well ?....LOL)

On the gripe site all the complaints I saw on the transmission were on standard trannys. The frame rust is an old problem that I last saw complained about on a '01 model. The one thing that does cause me some concern is the reports of sudden acceleration that Toyota denies it exists.

It helps if you are comparing trucks of the same size range and not all over.  Got to bear in mind that comfort and trucks do not necessary go together unless you are looking at full size trucks.  I have owned Nissan trucks since when they were called Datsuns, they are workhorses, low maintenance and have found them extremely reliable.

Evening.
Jeebus, 13 pages since I left to soak in the hot springs.
SD, please bud.. relax. Your opinions are not the only ones. Everyone interprets things differently from the same facts. Welcome back anyhow.

PC.. dont consider the ridgeline. I know of a few people that have HAD then. They are ok for small stuff and running around. If you do anything with them expect trouble.

Im toyota guy. You know that. (but my daily right now is a Tahoe.. ha!) The thing with the newer toyotas is that the quality is down on them, cheaper to pump things . Another thing to remember about them is their fuel economy rating. They will burn more than you think, its a smaller engine, and when you work it, its dumping in the fuel to get the power output.

I too had an awesome older nissan pickup.. it was the crossover year so the tailgate said nissan but also datson in the corner. The engine was advanced technology for its time.. but they built that over 20 yrs ago now. Didnt they almost go bankrupt not too long ago?

Anyhow.. good luck! See you all tomorrow

  Funny you mentioned that.  That was a really annoying feature on the Tacoma.  No volume control assessable from the passenger seat.  The volume was controllable only by the driver (on the steering wheel).  When we told the sales guy, he said...No way !  I joked that it was a deal breaker....but I'm not sure it's so funny.

Hiya Van.  It has been a while since I've seen you.  Miss you and hope you're doing well. :)

  Good morning everyone.

  We had a wee bit of a skytrain interruption this morning....lasted about 13 min...wish it was longer.....

  breakfast was berry yogurt topped with granola, peaches and walnuts...yummeee. :)

Morning!  GRRRRR.  Cold today.  And tired.  I stayed up waaaay past my bedtime on the phone discussing someone's sticky moral dilema with them.  
 
 Yesterday I made a vegan Shoo Fly Pie dessert- basically a molasses pie with a crumb topping.  It was really good, especially when served with a heap of nutri-whip light, which is a soy-based whipped topping that actually TASTES GOOD.  So- frozen pie crust, molasses filling, crumb topping baked together, soy whip on top.  Heckyl loved it (and had never eaten whipped cream-type products before, due to allergy) and Jeckyl ate the soy whip and crumb topping (doesn't like molasses).
 
 Ugh.  Gotta go do something before I fall asleep.
 Don't want to go outside.  Cold and wet out there...but must.

Morning. No worries Russ, I wasn't worked up or anything, 2 roommates had two girls spending the night so I had to think about something else for a few hours while I couldn't really watch tv or anything. I was trapped. :(
lol Sunday morning I went to church at 8am to get away from them in the morning. lol

  Morning purelife and Michel.
 
 purelife- do you get excited when the skytrain stops and you can't_go_to_work?  All you can do is phone in and say, "I'm stuck on the skytrain" and you can't do anything about it?  In my younger days, I loved situations like that (like a "snow day" with no school).  Today, I panic when I'm trapped in a crowded box that isn't moving (ie elevators).
 
 Michel- Sucks that you couldn't use your holiday time.  Well, the cat must be happy that you stayed home.  Hope you buy her something nice with your holiday pay....instead of just paying bills.  Cats don't understand bills.

 That's why I like fall and winter...more skytrain problems.   I hope it snows real hard this year forcing skytrains to shut down for hours and hours.... I'd rather work from home.

 I haven't been trapped in elevators *knock on wood* but I heard that in our bldg, one guy on our floor was trapped for about 2 hours and one guy was trapped in the men's bathroom stall because the lock didn't work.  He was lucky cuz he had his cell phone.

I need to get some. They watched movies at 2am, one girl laughs too loud. Other roommate who had this girl from Singapore over said they just watched a movie.... yeah. They watched Love Actually and then didn't come out. I don't mind, just wish people would give me the heads up before a girl comes over so I can go to a pub and drink myself silly because I'll never be that cool or whatever. lol

  Shoo Fly Pie
 (I used a vegan egg-replacer instead of the egg)
 [font face="Times New Roman"]Mix for crumbs: (reserving ½ cup for       topping)
       2/3 cup brown sugar
       1 Tablespoon solid shortening
       1 cup flour[/p]       [font face="Times New Roman"]Filling:
       1 cup molasses (good and thick)
       Â¾ cup boiling water
       1 egg beaten
       1 Teaspoon baking soda[/font][/p]       [font face="Times New Roman"]Combine soda with boiling water, then add       egg and syrup. Add crumb mixture (this will be lumpy). Pour into unbaked       pie crust and cover with reserved crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit       for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an       additional 35-45 minutes (until firm). When cut into, the bottom may be       "wet." This is okay, and is called a "wet bottom shoo fly       pie."[/font][/p][/font]

  I meant, is it possible to do your work at home.  I think for those jobs that can be done from home, it would be a step in the right direction for companies to encourage this.  Even 1 or 2 days a week, seems to be enviromentally smart.

  Yes, it is possible to do my work from home.  The database we use is online-based and my email can be accessed online.  Our IT dept can give me full access to my desktop as well if need be.  The only thing I don't want to do, is make long distance phone calls from home.

Morning!
How's everyone today on this fine feathered morning?
Working on the Toy.. another camping trip this upcoming weekend. With more people than just me and starfishie this time through.

We also have a new roomate at home here apparently. We got back and I noticed our middle bedroom which we use for storage had bags of clothes and stuff in it.. then ran into my brothers friend from work. Apparently he had moved in with his girlfriend of a year and it lasted two months. She told him it wasnt working and they should rethink things.. then the last night he got home and she went nuts on him.. and told him to move out (everything in there he's bought, and paid for 6 months on the rent).
So that night he stayed here, then teh next day my brother and him went to the place and removed all the new stuff he had bought (60 inch plasma with all the extras, ie surround), took all his clothes, left her some of the furniture.
We told him he could stay as long as he needed to.

Good morning!
LOL, I try. Im hopeful if I ever have any serious issues I would get some help in return.

Hotsprings were great! Theres no snow there now or for the next little bit. The FSR's to skookumchuck which is where I was is 46km in alongside Harrison after you turn in just past pemberton. There was golfs and ford taurus's there. Just go slow and have your headlights on.
Howeverlong up to pemberton, then an hour in along the FSR.
It was amazingly crowded though, we got there thinking that we would be one of a few. It wasnt that many when we got there but after a few hours it got pretty busy. All the sites filled up and there was people camping in the roads between sites in teh campground.
I dont normally go to sites that are like this.. but theres only so many hotsprings.

On the way back as per normal because of the construction theres idiots thinking they have the right of way over everyone else cause they have a shiny mercedes. Its only one lane each way.. one tried to overtake someone else and had a head on collision with someone else. So they shut down the highway for about half an hour as they cleared everything up.

Evening! Everyone made me feel guilty for not using my deepfryer so the starfishie and myself used it tonight on some french fries and kalamari. Forgot to buy some zatziki (SP?) for the kalamari :(
Also bought some salmon and did the honey mustard glaze again.
1/4 cup maple syrup (real stuff not the aunt jeremia crap)
20 ml course mustard
20 ml soya sauce
preheat oven to 400 deg c and cook for 10 minutes
I put some tinfoil on my pan I put inot the oven (easier to clean). Put some oil on the tinfoil, then put some of the glaze on that, put the salmon on the tinfoil (I usually cut my filets into 3 inch wide pieces) douse very liberally with teh remainer of the glaze.
I usually do this with nugget potato's and romain salad.

Anyhow, hope everyones having a good evening!

EDIT: FSR means Forrest Service Road.. sorry. just a gravel road in the bush currenty or not currently used for logging.

Caramel pork? Do tell.. with two eggs? Is this something like steak n eggs?

I also like going to a place where they start to know you and give you good service. I go to a place on occasion with some buddies. The ladies in there know me as the guy that drinks 'Becks'. Dunno though, dont drink it anywhere else.. unless Im in Nigeria. I usually drink a pale ale when at a restaurant and if I drink hard stuff it will be the captain and coke.

It's isn't as bad as it looks but she's not too thrilled about the sight. In the afternoon she decided to throw up all over the dining table and floor. Wonderful.

The vessel I was on, was in africa, I go there to join it. I have no idea where this next vessel will be, I will wait and see. Im not too happy about this as the vessel just got a really good contract.

Could be for the better though.. you never know.

I hope so Russ.

    Wow.....just reading about Strathcona, and it is apparently one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Vancouver.  I wonder why I never heard of this name as a kid.  Although this area is the oldest neighbourhood...was it always CALLED Strathcona ?

I think before the neighbourhood was called Strathcona, it WAS Vancouver.

 It was kinda funny how I saw Michel, actually.  I was standing in line at the Vietnamese food booth and saw the caramel pork with egg that he ordered yesterday. At that moment, I was thinking about Michel, that he was eating it.  I looked up at the stairs (this is an underground food fair) and there he was, walking.

  It was very exciting to see Michel...and get this!  I got TWO hugs!  And I can still scent his cologne.  LOL

Hey guys!

Purelife better get hopping around the old neighbourhood, you might not recognize it, its changed a lot.
Beautiful neighbourhood.

Yes Strathcona is 'old Vancouver' or Vancouver before the CPR decided to build the railroad all the way to Granville. Originally it was suppose to be the 'downtown' (prospectors had envisioned the railroad stopping in the neighbourhood as that was the centre of the city) . It's also the neighbourhood with the most history, most diverse etc. loved it.

It was a much more negative picture than Mr. Campbell portrayed just three weeks ago: "This is where the jobs are. This is where the growth is, right here in the province of British Columbia."

pulled a McCain, ouch.

"Our economy has been largely cushioned by construction. So this is an area where the government has a lot of capacity to do some stuff, infrastructure and so on," said Darcy Rezac, managing director of the Vancouver Board of Trade.

we're doomed after the olympics or even before it. Ritz has been suspended.

 However, the promise to accelerate capital spending did not include any figures and could result in increased debt for the province.[/p]  It's a practice that Mr. Campbell eschewed in 1998, when he insisted that spending was no solution for economic troubles.[/p]  "The answer to the current economic crisis in B.C. is not more government debt and overspending," Mr. Campbell, then leader of the Liberal opposition, wrote in a letter to The Vancouver Sun. "More debt does not solve anything. It means more taxes and fewer services tomorrow."[/p]---[/p]

 It just means the same prices as last year. Nobody was going last year and were all complaining pre-halloween jack up (from what I remember). Nothing is going to change. The island is still Alcatraz. Food is still 50% more expensive to buy and to eat out,  room rates have not dropped. It will still cost me over 125-150 at least just for a weekend and that's staying at a friends place.

And I thought BC Ferries was privatized, if it was Gordon could say I'm dropping the prices the prices for 3 months out of the goodness of my empty heart. It's private, they do their own shit. Since its not, it's Gordon punishing the Island for not voting Liberal in every riding except 4, with 3 of those being Liberal because of vote spliting with the Greens. He hates the Island and could care less about the people living there.

 Hai purelife!
 
 Interesting about the coffee.  I did a prety good job of chewing on the inside of my lip while my mouth was still frozen.  And I have a couple of swollen lumps deep in my jaw where the needle went in.
 
 Slightly offtopic is the problem of trying to find parking near VGH.  I drove in circles for a long time before I could get to the dentist.  Couldn't fit in several parkades (overheight vehicle) and missed a couple of parallel parking attempts, due to nervousness...I'm from the suburbs, dammit.  The parking spaces are much bigger out in the sticks.

Going to the Island a few weeks ago, I didn't buy much food there- only went to the convenience store near the hotel, Save On Foods in Parksville, and the post office/general store in the town where my in-laws live.  But I did notice that everyone was very s-l-o-w at processing a sale.  
 The old fart in the general store was still talking to the guy in front of me who had finished paying.  I kept inching my purchases further towards him on the counter...but he kept on yakking.  I was tempted to say something rude, but held my tongue...if the old fart got pissed off with me, he might start hiding my in-laws' mail on them.

 When I was spending a thousand a month on food without a car, I lost 25lbs. from Sept-Dec.
So I wasn't eating really. I just made noodles everyday for dinner and Hamburger Helper on Saturday nights watching HNIC and 4 of us bought 2 pizzas on Thursdays.

Lunch at the cafeteria was 8-9 dollars just for the 'meal' drink was another 2 bucks. 12-13 for dinner (minus drink).
Now I eat lunch for 3.75 and then on tuesdays 3.75+2.00 for a beer.

LOL...speaking of toilet paper, there was a sign in bathroom stall about not stealing toilet paper or security measures will be put in place.  

I'm interested to know "what" security measures these would be.  A camera in the stall?  *shivers*

  well it happen.
Second semester went overboard a lot due to Joe 'Stalinista' Six Pack Plumber and the car repairs and gas.
But hey I don't consider that bad. I've met people on the Island who haven't been everywhere on the Island so I take pride in that and I met interesting people I otherwise wouldn't have. I mean midwestern boy was toured around by hippies in Tofino or driving on that road to Telegraph Cove and seeing bears on the road. Elk cross a road in the bush, losing radio and cell signals on highways, tripping on short steps made for people of a 1800s proportion, behind the Legislative Buildings steps, Beach Ave in Vic, Bunker Hill, Ladysmith, Qualicum, Comox, Old Island Highway, Port Hardy and the 100 bald eagles on the beach, Gabriola Island, Cathedral Grove, Piper's Lagoon, Parksville beaches. Squamish, Surrey, Seattle, West Vancouver.

that was all second semester.
I don't have any regrets, although I its much cheaper living wise in Vancouver.

oh and the dollar was at 1.10 too
now at .80 life is easy.

I have a feeling that the $1,000 a month includes more than just food.  Lap dances and "personal services" are expensive.

OHHHHHH.  I was reading it as you spending $1000 on just food.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)   I didn't realize you were including gas and car repairs.

a thousand a month first semster.
then second semester was 3 fold. cuz the car showed up.
When bored we ate out.
When bored on the weekends we went to Vancouver and ate more food.
But all I bought was food, bus pass and 30 bucks for a trip to Royal BC in Victoria and 10 movies.




um no pl, only went to a strip club once in illinois. I wanted my night back and found it extremely boring and silly. I was uninterested.

G'morn!

 Just in work mode this week. This weekend I don't have much planned. Hopefully good food and see a few friends.

 Ahh, I miss the university days. I don't miss being stuck in town back then though. Not much good a great transits system did me when it didn't take my a*s to Revelstoke for biking and skiing.

 I can't imagine spending $1000 on food for one person? wtf? Oh well, to each their blah blah blah...

HI VAN !!!!!!!  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/16.gif)

  I guess a work week is better than having no job at all.  lol

  Just getting ready to go get my eyes checked.  

  Michel....when are you leaving ?  If you're gone before I get back, have a safe journey....and don't forget to work in some fun !

  *I'm still stuck on the thousand a month for food as well.  I wouldn't mind having that kind of budget.  This is what $500 of food looks like.  That leaves almost $500 to eat out.  Enough for the 3 little pigs AND the big bad wolf.  Not bad huh ?  He must have thrown most of the meat out, because I remember him going for DAYS without meat.  Say uncle, SD.

Hi PC! (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/12.gif)

  Yes, I don't mind working. The alternative is not as friendly. Looking at what is happening in parts of Canada and the US, I have no problem with work. As long as I have my coffee and music, I can go go go go all day.

Life is good, as long as you play harder than you work.

Good morning Van, PC and Michel.

  Van - your weekend sounds like mine.  We'll probably go for a swim too.  I'd like to go ice-skating but have to find out when the rink opens.

  Michel - Have a safe journey.  I'm sure you'll have lots of fun and be taking lots of pics.  I can't wait to see them.

  A...l...m...o....s.....................t FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning!  Not much for me this weekend, either.  Heckyl is going camping and Jeckyl and I have a family dinner to attend.  Plus, Jeckyl wants to go see his buddy sing in a concert.
 
 purelife- There's a $2 Skate on Sat from 1:30-2:45 at the Poirier arena in Coquitlam (free rentals, too).

 That's a good price.  I'll check it out for sure.  Thanks. :)

 What kind of a concert?

 Good morning miss PL, LM, PC, and of course Michel.
So.. whats this trip about? I know you are heading back east but this is for work? Or for visiting? I know you siad something about work??

I too spend alot on food PC.. ALOT. It probably is over 1k a month. But that is with the older Starfishie, and my brother at times. We never eat leftovers for dinner, we always eat it for lunches or reuse in into a spagball or something sauce. But for him? Um.. Im having my doubts. Sorry SD.

 Wheres he going LM? Im heading up to the other hotsprings this weekend. Sloquet, not Skookumchuch. Instead of tubs this place has the pools of water that people have built pools for, right beside a rapids filled river.. should be good. Theres a number of trucks heading up.

The highlight today.. is we are doing the deep fryed turkey! We arent going to use teh peanut oil either.. its like 80 bucks for enough to do the bird, and like 30 bucks for the canola.. which lasts only 5-6months refrigerated.

Hiya Russ!  *poke*  Let us know how your turkey turns out... I bet I will be able to smell it all the way here.

  I think I spend around $600 on groceries for the two of us (but this doesn't include us buying our lunches or eating out once in a while).  I still can't imagine how SD could spend $1000.

 guys aren't counting in the cafeteria costs. A plate for lunch with one meat, one starch and two veggies is 8-10 then a drink is 2 bucks. The loonie was at 1.10 USD so I was paying including a drink (2 bucks). So a 12 dollar lunch for something should of been 5 bucks but the place liked to screw you over. Ended up being 13.20

80.00s at QF became 88.00s

Went to QF 4x a month usually spent a 100 and sometimes 200 (then I'd have to get a cab those 200 ones were when I hadn't gone to the store in a while). And QF was never cheap, its not cheap, cheap is SuperStore which was too far away on Nanaimo buses.

Then we rotated on pizzas you ended up paying that once a month. 40-50.
I usually went to this corner place 1 or 2 a week on the weekends usually. 40-50.

But majority of the food costs were through the cafeteria.
30 bucks a day for two plates and two drinks is ridiculous.
150 a week

600 a month just eating at the cafeteria
200 for QF trips/walks
200-300 in eating out at the corner (once a week usually), walking to a corner pub once a week (sun's or sats), drinks at the student pub or food, buying 2 pizzas and 2 drinks from this corner place.

 its old victoria area. Nobody goes there, except my friends who rented out a place.
There's North Nanaimo, downtown Nanaimo and South Nanaimo. 3 classes in one city.
North end is like Point Grey I've never seen somebody shoot themselves up in this area. Downtown is like Strathcona/Gastown and South is getting closer to Main and Hastings but its residential so its run down Strathcona.

I always spent time at a union hall in the south. Saw a women shoot up herself with heroin, saw what that did to her. It was quite interesting. Then walking home from the corner pub a guy was beating up a hooker. Same street a cat pounced and ate a giant rabbit. Love that neighbourhood.

 I am not your bud. Maybe if you were on DS less, and studied a bit more, you wouldn't always be whining about how hard you have it at school. Maybe you could meet a girl too, instead of more whining about your roomies having girls, while you cry yourself to sleep.

Hey Lise - you could get the pants that are adjustible at the waist.  Not sure if you've seen this, but in the pants, you can stretch the elastic and make it shorter so that it can fit properly on the kid's waist.

Tried the pita place, over thanksgiving I had the Japanese above ground place for basically lunch and dinner everyday. I'm a bit tired of their lunch boxes and miso at the moment. lol
I went to the hamburger place and of course the tea place. So yeah... I hang out there a lot. lol

Morning Van.. Im a bad person to take shopping as well. I encourage and buy random things as well. You always need another heated 12v coffee mug.. until I get home and Starfishie gets mad cause I already have one. My brother and I are not allowed to go shopping together without Starfishie there. This is how we came home with that new gas stove and she found out about it when she got home. Very very happy.
Im still laughing.. I can see the wedding now. From a school administrator with a biker.. ah well it IS Red Deer.

Good morning DS!
The turkey was pretty darn good. I did a brine preparation on it, without any injections. I used canola oil and while I filled the pot to the tip of the drumstick sticking out.. when the oil heated up it was boiling over, so all we did was turn off the burner (I was told to, I woulda left it running, its only oil) and scoop out some more of the oil. We did the same thing as Sawdust PC.. so tell him not to feel bad. We couldnt keep the temp right at 325 so we left it in for ten minutes more.. and it came out awesome.. but it could have been a little better maybe 5 minutes less. We have lots of leftovers. Everyone ate all the fried skin and such.. nobody wanted the meat! Monday will be turkey soup.. would have started it this weekend but we are heading out at 2pm today.
The oil is supposed to last for 5 months refrigerated once you strain it. We will see.

LM.. Sounds great with the scout camping.. and how he returns! Sounds very similar to how it should be done.. as we all do! Whats this toothbrush thing for?

  Speaking of bikers, three's a church full of bikers.  I always see their bikes lined up outside...no cars around, just bikes.  

  I woke up at 4am and couldn't go back to bed because of the LOUD BANGING noise on the pipes.  We have the heater/boiler tanks in our place and it has been making loud banging noise as if someone is banging hard on the pipes and this sound goes off every few minutes.  Drives me bonkers!  And it's LOUD.  Hopefully, the guy coming in today can fix it...whatever the problem is.

I grew up with arts and crafts.  Whenever I volunteer at an event, it's gotta involve arts and crafts.  (well, my preference anyways).  I like coloring.  I haven't done anything lately but I really miss that side of me.  One of my fav things to do as a kid was build boxes and lids out of popsicle sticks.  I also enjoy origami and was good at it at one point and creating these chinese ornaments out of very nice paper.   I like making things out of recyled materials.  There's a show on Treehouse of the lady who has a puppet and she creates these crafts and then tells the story.  I watch it and really enjoy it.  

  I really really miss doing it and have been thinking about it lots these days.  I'll be getting back into it for sure but I don't prefer to do it alone.

That sounds totally awesome.  Is it still around ?  or are you saying it was around when you were a kid ?  It would be worth looking in to if it's something you enjoy.  If it's not still around, it could be an enjoyable little business for someone to start up.  Probably not a big money maker, but at least it would be fun.

I'm horrible at crafts. I think the last time I did craftwork I managed to glue two bits together (which shouldn't be glued in the first place) and created the mess of the century. No, I'll stick to drawing which is much cleaner.

  Spent like 5 mins at the dental beer garden. I'm sad to say that I'm no longer as young as I would like to be. Hanging out in a room filled with kids and beer is no longer my cuppa of tea. After 10 hours of work, all I ever wanna do is crawl into a corner and go to sleep. Where do these kids get the time and energy to go beer drinking? Don't they have to study??

Morning!  I'm soooo glad to be home.
 
 Left at 7am to drive Heckyl and two of his friends to where they were going out camping.
 
 On the way home, Jeckyl and I were thinking about getting breakfast.  Then the car nearly died.  The engine temp was running in the red zone.  I pulled over and discovered the coolant overflow bottle was bone dry.  Ulp.  Managed to limp the car to WalMart at Guilford and buy a bottle of coolant.  Temp back to normal. Drove home.  Hope I don't have a hole in the rad, but time will tell...
 
 Had McBreakfast at Walmart.

Boys are funny....they'll make out with you for 3 hours, without knowing a thing about you !

           

  Anywho....(Michaels is always the last place I look for anything)....BUT...I went to Michaels yesterday  to get some 'snappy' things for Christmas Crackers....some crepe paper and some cardboard tubes.  They didn't have any cardboard tubes or any crepe paper, and they were out of the snappy things.  I asked when the next lot of snappy things would be in, and she said...Oh no...when we're out, we're out.  Soooo, what about the crepe paper and the cardboard tubes, I ask.  Oh.....we don't carry those.  Ever.

  I said ...Oh...well...thank you...bye bye.

  THEN I came back and said....Excuse me, but you're the biggest crafts supply store on the Island...perhaps, everywhere....and you don't carry crepe paper or cardboard tubes....and you're out of Christmas snappy things in [FONT size=4]October[/FONT], and you don't PLAN ON GETTING MORE ??????  You've squeezed out 3 of my favourite old craft stores in spite of the fact that you charge triple for everything.....but YOU don't carry crepe paper ?????  Not having these things at Michaels, is like McDonalds not having fries !   I drove all the way down from the boonies to get 3 common craft items, and you're standing there looking at me like I'm asking for something other than what one would normally expect to find in a craft store....and with a snippy attitude, just to make the experience complete !!!!  I can't tell you how many times I've made THIS fruitless trip.  I'm sure me not shopping here any more, will not even put a blip on your radar...and matters nothing to no-one....but consider me an ex-Michaels shopper.

bwhahaha. I should of clarified in my inebriated state that that happened to a buddy of mine. Although I think I win in the funny department. I was dancing with this girl along with another friend, and I'd talked to about 10 girls over 3hrs at this time along with rum and cokes, so I was bound to get a name mixed up. Well.... lol (we laughed about this for a good hour) anyway I saw Ricky Bobby's girl 'flag girl'  I'll call her (not using real names here) she was dancing of course with Mr. Wonderbread (Bobby). So I was dancing with Trinity off of the Matrix and Piglet. Ninja (my buddy) was getting to know Trinty, whom I think came with White Trash guy. Anyway at the end of the party I called Trinty the flag girl's name and Trinty wasn't amused and got offended. Ninja still got Trinty's number (yet he never really talked to her lol, completely random) but afterwards Ninja, Captain Jack and the Navy Admiral (the guy who made out with the girl for three hours) laughed all the way home. Although Captain Jack played in character too much the girl he was with thought he was actually completely wasted. Sparrow kept saying he was in character, she ditched. lol


Anyway today I went to the North Shore and the Lynn Valley. It was awesome.

North Van seems like a small community, everyone is super friendly. Its suburban but not so suburban like a Surrey where you're far apart from everything. Then of course the mountains, bears and Lynn Valley, Grouse, North Shore and so on.

I walked with a couple from Richmond (they also drove me to Broadway so getting home was easy) they have this book 109 Great walks in BC's Lower Mainland and 103 Great hikes in Southwestern BC. I'm going to look into those books.

 Evening!  SD's eggplant pasta sounds good.
 
 I'm not an eggplant fan, either (except for baba ghanoush and Szechwan fried eggplant)- but I eat a lot of zucchini- mostly because you can cut it into small pieces and it holds up relatively well in soups and stews.
 
 Shake n bake, soy cauliflower bake, rice and some raw veggies for dindin.
 
 Had Denny's with Jeckyl this morning, then drove back to the Valley to pick up Heckyl.  He and his cohorts were standing around absolutely freezing.  I asked several of the boys why they weren't wearing more clothing- and they all had the same answer- "bag's already packed up".  lol.  Silly boys.  
 
 Groceries this afternoon.  Bought $38 waffle iron at Save On.
 
 Made cookies with Heckyl and Jeckyl.  Oatmeal raisin chocolate chip.  The baking inspiration comes partly from colder weather (must..eat...carbs), wanting to do something fun with the boys, and the thought/fear that they should learn to feed themselves before they grow up and leave home.  Earlier in the week Heckyl told me that he and two friends have been supervising a grade 1 class at lunch time...and that NONE of the older boys really knew how to assist a grade 1 kid with peeling a banana.  Ulp.  Heckyl doesn't eat bananas (doesn't like them), but surely I figured he knew how to PEEL ONE.  *shakes head*

[img style="width: 390px; height: 292px;" src="http://i34.tinypic.com/2a0jjig.jpg"]

my flash hates food apparently.
Anyway that's 1 whole eggplant from Costco
1 whole yellow pepper from Costco
1 whole orange pepper from Costco
1/6 ish of Classico Florentine spinach and cheese
noodles
tablespoon of butter
1/3 cups of homemade red wine that the roomies don't like so we use it for cooking
salt and pepper over the veggies before putting in the butter and wine.

Looks and tastes a lot like Trader Joes frozen eggplant pasta.



 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

If you would be so kind as to pick out the eggplant, I would eat that.  It looks quite good.

  Good philosophy on the boys being self sufficient in the feeding themselves department Lil Me.  It eliminates the pit fall of them looking for a mother when they grow up, instead of a partner......lol  

I think moms who overlook this little detail are doing their sons no favours.  It's not the 50's for heavens sake....it's no longer considered feminine work.

  SWEEET. I made something people like! (more people liked it too after I said what I cooked.)

ehh I don't know PC a lot of 'girls' do stuff for the guys and unknowingly become subservient to them. Although it depends, personally some girls like to cook, that's their thing and they like to show you etc. On the other hand they might feel like cooking for the man is somehow their role, which it isn't. I see a lot of that unfortunately. I also see the desperate girls too, throwing themselves at guys at parties, but that's another issue.


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Oh I so agree with you LM on teaching boys how to cook. They should learn how to cook - at least learn the bare minimum so they can survive. Hubby hasn't learnt a thing apart from boiling an egg. I wish he would take the initiative to cook for dinner for me even if it had been a simple salad.

  I like eggplants. They're awesome especially in curries and chillies. I like this [A href="http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Market/7773/vegetarian_recipe/eggplant_szechuan.html"]recipe[/A], I usually make it when eggplants are in season.

Camping was good, it was a little nipply but it was great once you got into the hotsprings. There was lots of people, it was surprising.

 Sure is quiet without Michel.
 
 I unboxed the waffle iron and made 2 batches today (used Sunny Boy pancake mix with egg replacer powder, soy milk and some soy yoghurt).  Should last us the week, and Heckyl and Jeckyl can toast their own waffles before school.  Before, waffles were a special occasion food because the frozen vegan waffles are pretty expensive.
 
 Ground turkey chili in the crock pot for tonight.
 
 Off to the punkin patch.  Buying 30 for Scouts to carve tonight.

 I would and am.. but Im not ready to take that big of a pay cut yet. I want to get my highest lisence before coming back to BC. I will be back in the next 5 years, and hopefully by then the ferries will have cleaned out more of the deadweight they have in there, and have made officers wages more competitive.

The coast guard is having this problem as well. Wages are too little for the senior officers so they cant get people

OOOOOO....thanks for the mittens Lil Me.  My fingers feel 'burny' from the cold.  I think I will bring the other 2 in for the night, and carve them tomorrow.

  The Christmas Cracker thing is their own project.  They have set it up, so that you can go in to a workshop and make them....they have supplied all the stuff.....or you can take all the materials and do them at home.  So I signed on for a couple hundred.  They go pretty quickly, as the gal who organized this, has 'pre' everything.  She's bagged up 'kits' of 12....with precut tissue, ribbon, toys and hats and fortunes, and of course the snappy things that I can't seem to find anywhere.  I think she may have depleted the island supply, as they are doing 6000.

  I am NOT buying a stupid pumpkin to carve. Last time we did that, we made a huge mess and the dog at a couple of seeds when we weren't looking. Stupid bugger. I tell you, the end part of his mess was not a sight to behold. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/20.gif)

Ah, take a breather Lise. *passes chair and matching foot stool*
 
 I did get the pumpkins.  The pumpkin farm is still there...surrounded by new development.  I could have gone to the StupidStore...but I'd rather support the independant pumpkin farmer.
 
 A Marty pumpkin?  Wow.   P.C. is amazing.
 
 The turkey chili and corn bread was nummy.  Russ wouldn't have liked the chili, though.  It was very heavy on vegetables (in big chunks) and only had 1lb of ground turkey.
 
 Had a crazy Scouts Hallloween party.  The 30 kids ran around, carved pumpkins, decorated treat bags and had snack....all in 1hr.  Fortunately, we had a lot of help from leaders, parents and Venturers (the high school kids).
 
 We did a pretty good job of containing the mess- 2 big tarps on the gym floor, plus a big garbage can...but I kinda feel for the middle-aged floor hockey guys who use the gym right after us....

Are punkin seeds no good for puppies Lise ?  

  Your turkey chili and corn bread sounds deeeelish Lil Me.


Has anybody ever used the pumpkin meat AFTER it has been a jack-o-lantern ?  Am I overlooking something, to think that the worst that could happen is a bit of a smokey taste from the candle ?  [img onclick="selecte('eh.gif');" alt=emoticon src="http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/eh.gif" border=0]

I've never eaten the pumpkin that had a candle in it.  Supposing you scrape off the soot, it's probably fine?  I'm planning to eat a casualty punkin from tonight's carving session (some kid screwed up and started again on a new pumpkin)...going to cut off the Jiffy Marker lines before I cook it.

 My weekend- taking Heckyl and Jeckyl to an indoor church Halloween party on Fri night, then dropping them off with the grandparents. I'm going home to sleep and to get ready to fight in a tournament on Sat.  Ulp. I've never done this before.  I wish I could feel more confident...but I have no idea what level the other competitors in my age category will be like.  Shall be interesting.  I'm in two events- forms (the routines that we practice over...and..over again..) and sparring (the fight).
 
 Tonight I'm chairing the AGM for our strata complex.  Ulp.  These meetings often erupt into WWIII.  Halp.  I want to give people the opportunity to have their say, but know when to cut them off.  Maybe I'll go buy an egg timer from the Dollar Store.

Good morning PC, LM, PL, Van and a welcome back to Michel.

Im howling right now, theres a commercial I just saw on tv for Excell gum that is a wedding with half of the guests being bikers and the rest dressing normally for a wedding. I thought of Van.

Well, airscare on one of my trucks expires tomorrow so Id better take it for a run then attempt to take it through aircare. Should change the oil first though.

Whats everyone else's plans today?

I did end up making chili yesterday.. mmm. It was hot as I put 4 jalapeno's in it, but it was good! I used all my bits of meat I had left from cutting steaks and stuff. There was LOTS of meat, and I did a texas chili with no beans. I can still feel the rim of fire.

Later that night I gots my costume and picked up snakies for the party. Im going as santie claws.. I got a bunch of chicken wings and did honey garlic n maple sauce, teriyaki, hot sauce wings, and sweet teriyaki garlic. then chopped up a number of round eye's and wrapped them for bacon wraped steak bits.. mmm. Cant wait.

  When is your insurance due?  I found out that you don't have to do aircare until your insurance is due.  

  When I purchased my car, air care was due Sep 2007 but my insurance wasn't due until June 2008.  I was told by the Air Care Specialist that I didn't have to do it until June.

They let you renew your insurance when your aircare expired at the same time too?  That's odd because they normally don't let you until aircare was renewed, unless you renewed insurance in 2007?

  Dead tired. Have a course tomorrow at UBC by BC's renown ontologist Dr. Sweet. He's well known in forensic dentistry. I'm not sure about the course and seeing images of.... y'know.... it's not my cup of tea. I can stand blood and what-not but dead people?

Yes there was freworks, until pass midnight, grrr. I didn't knew it was so popular here. Tradition coming from Asia ? There are no fireworks connected to Halloween back East.  

  Hallowe'en fireworks go back as far as I can remember.  We always had fireworks....even as kids, it was common to be able to go and buy them by the row.  Fireworks displays were plentiful, and there was always one dad, in every neighbourhood who put on a good show and taught us how to light them.  You could get them at any corner store.

  It wasn't until the idiots, once again, who managed to misuse things, which in turn has lead us down the familiar path....BAN IT.

    I don't know Michel.  I always understood it to be an Irish tradition (or maybe Scottish)   But I do know, that the Asian presence here THEN was not was it is today.  I was a kid.....what did I know.....there was no world beyond my neighbourhood.

  And another thing for sure.....when we were kids, if someone blew up their hand with a firecracker, our parents would give us a smack upside the head for our stupidity.  Now, parents will rally hard to have firecrackers removed from the country.  The result ?....stupidity is embraced, stupidity remains intact, stupidity lives, stupidity breeds.  Skewed learning.  There are no bad firecracker handlers.....just bad firecrackers.  Firecrackers are bad.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)

I don't really need to put it back on its a reoccurring theme I picked up on from sociology, anthropology, political science, history, and geography classes. They all pretty much come to the same agreement that modern Canada didn't begin until the 60s and pre modern Canada was a Canada of overt racism against all minorities and french speakers. Potlach, Head Tax, First Nation assimilation schools. This country being founded on an idea that goes back to the1600s of the "french reality" stated by the British and the sole intent up til Confederation was 'taming' and 'assimilating' Quebec into good Anglos (Lord Durham Report). The utopian idea that Canada came together as two cultures when in reality it was more one trying to snuff out the other and that battle led to an agreement called the Confederation. Anti-Asian immigration laws up til the 1950s. Immigration in general up until the 70s.

Apparently BC doesn't teach History anymore or they don't go in depth. So universities are taking it upon themselves to teach young people the realities of Canada that its not this make believe Utopian society that it is always perceived to be against American society. While they point out the racist tendencies of pre-1960s they do tend to turn Trudeau into a god figure without ever explicitly mentioning his name. And I've had conservative, liberal, socialist, communists as profs they all say the same thing without getting into economic policies, Canada modernized in the 60s, it was born. We are living in Trudeau's image or of his generation's image of modernity.

Evening all. What an intense lecture. Boy, I tell ya.... I wouldn't want to be part of the forensic team that do autopsies and what-not. What you see on CSI is so out-of-reality that it's a hard pill to swallow when you see real-life cases before your very own eyes. I'm amazed that humans can be capable of committing such deeds but then you see the dedication of the forensic team who go out of their way to bring back some measure of respect to the victims that you get lost for words.

  My hat goes out to the brave men and women who put their lives on edge everyday to bring these criminals to justice. You have to have a stout heart to do what you do. I wish there were more ppl like Dr. Sweet who gives such passion and care to the cases he works on. Too bad there are only so few of him (I can count the numbers off one hand) who specializes in this area of work.

  You can imagine.... I cried buckets in the afternoon. Dang, I'm OK with adult cases but when it comes to children, my heart just buckles. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/6.gif)

My hairdresser said, 'Please, please, let me just remove those darn highlights or my work isn't complete.' One hour and $60 later, I look like Posh Spice. HAH!

Is it naptime yet?
 
 I ate Indian buffet and am about to slip into a gulab jamun-induced diabetic coma.
 It was my Diwali celebration.  Couldn't eat crap last week, as I was training for a taekwondo tournament.  Competed on Sat and got a gold medal and a bronze medal.  Now I can finally eat!

 Well, if anything it's good to produce saliva to cleanse your teeth. Not very good if you have TMJ problem but if your jaw can handle it, chew and chew to your heart's content. Just don't expect pearly white teeth by the end of the process.

 I'd rather chew your socks, Michel.

Our guy was so picky for the first few years, that he wouldn't even eat fresh fish.  Nothing, but ONE brand of catfood.  And believe me, we tried them all.  My friend didn't have to buy catfood for MONTHS and MONTHS, because I kept giving her all the bags and cans of stuff he wouldn't eat.

I don't really need to put it back on its a reoccurring theme I picked up on from sociology, anthropology, political science, history, and geography classes. They all pretty much come to the same agreement that modern Canada didn't begin until the 60s and pre modern Canada was a Canada of overt racism against all minorities and french speakers. Potlach, Head Tax, First Nation assimilation schools. This country being founded on an idea that goes back to the1600s of the "french reality" stated by the British and the sole intent up til Confederation was 'taming' and 'assimilating' Quebec into good Anglos (Lord Durham Report). The utopian idea that Canada came together as two cultures when in reality it was more one trying to snuff out the other and that battle led to an agreement called the Confederation. Anti-Asian immigration laws up til the 1950s. Immigration in general up until the 70s.

Apparently BC doesn't teach History anymore or they don't go in depth. So universities are taking it upon themselves to teach young people the realities of Canada that its not this make believe Utopian society that it is always perceived to be against American society. While they point out the racist tendencies of pre-1960s they do tend to turn Trudeau into a god figure without ever explicitly mentioning his name. And I've had conservative, liberal, socialist, communists as profs they all say the same thing without getting into economic policies, Canada modernized in the 60s, it was born. We are living in Trudeau's image or of his generation's image of modernity.

BC does teach history. But more in relation to the World Wars. (grade 12 anyways). Not much on Head tax, Potlatch ban, etc. Unfortunately.

 Also, if Trudeau was assasinated, Western Canada would have thrown a massive party, parades, etc. I am not saying that is right, I am just saying at the time...

 Canada has come a long way. But so has the whole world.

Good morning Michel, P.C., Lise and everyone else.  

  So many people got laid off from work because of financial situations at the company.  On the day that MrPL got his raise, he also got laid off.  It was really weird.  It has been about 6 weeks or so of unemployment.  And because he's in the union, he can't go looking for another job outside of the union.

 Morning! Another day of running around.. with no news from the company.

Halloween party was great! Last people finally left at 4am. No problems that were note worthy other than one guy had his car moved by someone else cause he was too drunk to do so, then next morning when he couldnt find it, he called it in stolen. Other was someone started flirting wiht another girl when his girlfriend was there, when she gave him shit, he said what.. its not like this is the first time Ive slept with another girl while Ive been with you. So yeah.. that went over like a lead balloon for some obscure reason.
Cleanup was quick, no problems there, found three digital cameras. One has been claimed. Lots of plastic devils forks, masks, helmets, etc, so we have enough of that crap for years now.

I cleaned out the back of a truck that has been sitting in our backyard for years now, we bought it to fix the front end damage and get sidetracked with lots of other projects. I found some pretty digusting stuff.. I can tell we never cleaned out the back of the truck since we got it from the previous owner. It had some rotten bags of garbage, as well as rotten sleepiing bags and other stuff in it. Pretty gagging quality. Took a bunch of other stuff to the dump too so that was worth it.

Had HotPot last night! Starfish called me when I was at the dump and told me that she wanted hotpot. So.. raced to Crystal Mall and bought veggies and some meats. Came home and sliced up some beef and chicken I had in the freezer for the rest. 6 people for dinner.. which is why I love hotpot, more people the merrier, and its like a big conversation with dinner. We decided we were going to go as a group to Cuba in the next 4-5months.

Other than that.. Im heading out in the next little bit for some lunch and to buy a new cell phone. Again.

Maybe it is just me, but I would't sit around waiting for the union to take care of me. 6 weeks isn't too bad though. 6 months may be another story.

 Hello Van and PC.
I agree that it seems silly that mr PL is awaiting on his union. It seems ironic that he is doing that when other unions, like the public sector unions, openly knew about their members working for private companies during their city strike.

Hopefully he finds something.. start looking. You can always go back. Im with Van on this one.

Well....I don't know what their problem is....or whose problem it is.  All I know is, for a couple years there, you didn't hear a carol in the malls....you'd be hard pressed to even recognize it was Christmas by the lack of decoration....and nary a Christmas greeting was to be heard.

I am not offended by actual Christmas. The commercialism of it all is pathetic though.

I went to the store yesterday and I heard Home for the Holidays, and it stuck in my head, and Christmas is still 2 months away!!

The only thing I don't like to see are adverts of "Christmas in July!" sales. Other than that, I don't mind Christmas tunes, displays and such in November.   I would love to decorate my home right now with Christmas stuff but I think I'll wait until Dec 1!!  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)

I despise Early Christmas's in stores. Unfortunately until there's a big enough of an outcry it will continue to be like this.

Some bugger stole my blue box yesterday after I put it out, I think I have to call city hall for antoehr one?

Morning PC! Whats cracking? (oh I crack me up sometimes).
The idea of a pomegranate while a good idea, would get me in trouble with teh starfishie considering we have two and Im sure theres some woman law that I would violate if I ate one now. Damn you cause the idea is ticking through my head now.


I have a dragonfruit as well! Does anyone know how you are supposed to cut it up and eat it? I have seen them before, and when I was veggie buying at Crystal Mall the other day, I decided to buy one.

So when I go back stateside I just collapse in exhaustion for a few weeks, get back up again and start the whole process over again. Counting down the days. lol

I try to get a beer at every airport I stop at on the way back. Makes the trip a little more fun.
This year its 4 airports! wootalicious.
   
Oh and listening to christmas music too as I fly into snow cities. beer+snow+Christmas music= happy.
although I want to crank up the music in Denver, freaking hate that airport. They have a 'we are under a code (insert colour) security threat be aware of your surroundings and suspicious activities please alert authorities' it goes off every 3 minutes. Totally puts me in a bad mood and I just mimic it while I wait for a connecting flight. Phoenix has it too. I don't get it.

 I might go to Costco this evening but I'm hoping that the Willingdon ramp isn't flooded.  Do I take the chance?  My tiny putt putt car wouldn't handle it......

I don't mind the beaches in Florida, kinda nice but crowded. I've been to the one in Hawaii, think it's in a place called Wakiki that were full of tourists as well. We took a car and drove to the north where we stopped by a beach that was totally deserted. Now that's my idea of a beach (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)  (well, toss in the cabana boy and we'll call it even).

  Rain. Rain. Rain today. Rain on the weekend. This just doesn't get any better. BTW, has anyone seen the sun??

I know of and like a margarita once in a while. I havent seen margaritas in a glass and like that. Usually in a sleeve, or in a red plastic cup while we are camping.


I bought something for that but was immediately kicked out of the house by a very annoyed starfishie and sent back with it to return it... I had gone to the parts store to buy some stuff for my truck and they were selling a gas weedeater engine powered blender. I thought it was worth it.

I think he even has one of his Parrot Head / Margaritaville places in Key West.  He has quite a following.

  Nibblin on sponge cake
Watchin the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp theyre beginnin to boil

Chorus:
Wastin away again in margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that theres a woman to blame
But I know its nobodys fault

I dont know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin to show but this brand new tattoo
But its a real beauty
A mexican cutie
How it got here I havent a clue

Chorus:
Wastin away again in margaritaville
Searchin for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that theres a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But theres booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wastin away again in margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that theres a woman to blame
But I know its my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that theres a woman to blame
And I know its my own damn fault

Hello!

ok, who is complaining about rain in November in the Lower Mainland? That would be like moving to the sun and complaining it is a tad hot!

  sports, you think Florida beaches are bad, check out the ones around LA. They probably were nice at one time...before the Biohazard signs. lol!

  Not much up this weekend. My sis wants to show off her newly finished basement. She got a movie sized TV and wired it all with surroundsound, etc, bar, bathroom and spare bedroom. I am going over to eat supper tonight and enjoy some beers in the new rec room. Maybe watch a movie? Tomorrow I am not sure what is up yet. Looking for some kind of adventure!

morning! crazy fun weekend.
Somehow I managed to break my toe or fracture it in a weird drunken moment of another person where I was running across a room to save this person from falling out a 2 story window. We took over the town, literally, as there's nobody really living there. Funny, considering back in the 1840s the place was the 2nd largest town in the West after San Francisco.

Oh and a cool thing happened. No cell phone reception in this town. So you had to use phone booths. Reminds me of the good old days as I'm the oldest in this group. haha

Oh and since we had no reception we wondered if the world was falling apart outside all weekend (hey we're all news junkies or we wouldn't be doing what we're doing).

Ouch, SD.
 
 I walked in circles at Michaels.  I h8 that place.  It's a large, confusing store full of stuff I don't know how to use!
 
 Needed some supplies for my grandmother's upcoming bday party (90th)- the idea is to get all the guests to pen a short bday note...and all these notes will be compiled in an album with the photos, cards, etc. from the event.
 
 Fortunately, my cousin's two daughters (who have more artistic talent than the rest of us combined) are going to glue the album together.
 
 I bought the actual scrapbook albums (2 pack at Costco), and some blocks of small coloured cardstock and scrapbook stickers at Michaels.
 
 I was befuddled by the array of paper cutters, die cut machines, stamps...then I got side-tracked and started looking at cake decorations, ribbons, and everything else in the damn place.  An HOUR later...I was still walking in circles, sweating by that time, and slightly panicky.

Turns out its not a broken toe, it's A BROKEN FOOT. oye Also I've developed a high ankle sprain, maybe some torn ligaments all of this over some weird freak accident. The doctor was convinced I was drunk when this happen, I kept saying over and over again that I was the one with the headache who went to bed early at 4am. I wasn't the one falling out of the window as that person was the one I was running to stop and save from certain death.


I lost my uncle in the Seige of Budapest.

high noon to you all. :)

I had Malaysian food for the first time yesterday. woah, totally different type of cuisine!
Oddly enough it reminded me of hungarian food for some bizarre reason, must of been the richness.

Wow purelife!  You can do all kinds of stuff.
 
 Remembrance Day was...wet.  But I had the best batch of Beaver kids in years.  They were so patient and quiet.  They totally deserved the hot chocolate and hot dogs provided by the Legion afterwards.  Good thing we had a "practice parade" at last night's meeting.
 
 Used the last of the Halloween pumpkins in a coconut pumpkin bread.

Good luck in the parade today, LM. I don't know how you can do it, marching in the wet weather and all. It's good to be part of a parade that reminds us what today means.

  I've been to the parade in downtown. Didn't like it very much. Too crowded for my taste. The last time we went, we were literally frozen popsicles waiting for the parade. Then again, the kids might like it. I know for sure Lise Jr. enjoyed the parade.

  Malaysian food is the same as Hungarian food? Not by a milestone, crazy man.

Morning!
Being lazy for a bit before I clean up the living room and kitchen from plates and cooking stuff from dinner the night before (grr im going to mention it to my brother soon about pulling his weight.. when others cook dinner FOR him). After that start moving stuff around and make another load to the dump possibly.

We also been designing a thing for rolling out a tarp and then rolling it back.. like an awning over the lower concrete pad where we keep out bbq and outdoor table and chairs. It will be a hell of alot cheaper than buying a rolling out awning.. fo r the size we want they quoted me around 2k. If I spend about 2 hundred on this setup I have come up with I will be surprised.

evening!

We ended up cleaning up LOTS in the backyard again. We got rid of about 1/2 a Ton of metal and scrap, then filled the rest up with other bits n bobs like the lower 4 feet of branches from an evergreen tree in the back yard thats been annoying me everytime i go by it or attempt to drag something out from underneath it.

PC: Dont want something thats as permanent as that, we have a topper over our upper deck above our carport thats glass and aluminum. This is for the lower concrete deck pad that my bbq is on.

LM: Yes. Thats exactly the idea. Ill take a picture before and after just so you all know, Im thinking I might attempt it later tomorrow afternoon. My godmother from whistler showed up today partway through the cleanup and I put winter tires on her Liberty.. and she managed to finagle me going over to her relatives place and help with yardwork. I cant say no to her, shes more strict with me than my mother is.

PL: Yes theres someone helping me.. I think. Well theres SUPPOSED to be anyhow.

I think we are going to schedule a look at this house for friday.

 evening. excellent day.
I'm a grad student. I would be able to take grad courses in this one field (for which I've read 3 of the course material books) but since I'm not an unclassified student, I can't take any of their courses. lol

Anyway that was my 'awesome' moment of the day, realizing I've read and own books that graduate students must read.

I'm convinced last year was a harder school. Apparently you're suppose to have your grades drop when transferring to UBC and not be making A's. (so an advisor told me). Then again I'm not 18/19 and 'my peers' in class are usually the graduate student TA's (I've stumped the poli sci T.A. on Canadian History/Parliamentary bills a few times). That might be the reason. lol

Hello everyone.

The wedding was a lot of fun. One of those weddings where the dance floor is non-stop until the end. Red Deer is a nice place I thought. Nice size.

  It has been an exciting week for me. I am finishing up a couple projects and loose ends.

I decided, I am going to Italy this January! I plan on leaving right after New Years and coming back whenever I feel I have to (depends on $$). I am tired of putting off and putting off this trip.  I have so much family over there and can't wait!

OK.... I'm so behind with the lunch thread news. Why do you have to move, PC? And Michel's right, now's not the time to sell. The prices for houses keep falling..... I've seen For Sale signs on houses around my block that have been up for months. So different compared to the craziness of last year.

  Tried my hand at making [A href="http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Market/7773/kuihtalam.html"]kuih talam[/A], a Malaysian dish. I can't make it the same as my mom.

I'm being to suspect there's a few girls I know who secretly want to see me trashed. I don't pay for anything and they just keep feeding me beer. I had 15 pints of beer last night over a few hours. ridiculous. lol gotta keep my brain cells for my doctoral thesis. Oh well got into a deep conversation with a Swiss kid over city planning, architecture, new urbanism in how I see the movement becoming Pleasantville. Swiss way vs. N.A. way and modernism.

I don't feel like food, but there's this Malaysian place on Broadway I always pass by.

2 pints at the Pit then a friend said "I can't finish this" and gave it to me .5 pint
Koerners again 2 pints outside, we got cold met up with Swiss boy
She ordered another pitcher 1 was a Sleeman than a Molson, then this funky bacon tasting beer so that's 3
Another girl shows up gets another pitcher, she really likes to see me wasted for some reason. (I know why I'm not telling) lol. Had 2 from that pitcher

Swiss Boy gets a pitcher pours me a couple. 2. Then uses my inebrated state to get answers out of me on why my friend ditched him. damn

Then we walked to the SUB ran into the other group from the blank blank and drank the 90th Anniversary beer I had 2 bottles.

so yeah. Started drinking at 9:30 finished at 3am.

Morning! Hows everyone doing.
Im enjoying coffee and trying to decide what to attempt first. the roll out tarp thingys or going shopping for some smaller totes to organize the freezer better.
I ended up spending alot of yesterday dealing with the freezer.. as when I was looking for stuff in there I couldnt find it, so I started to take stuff out..and decide that it needed to be cleaned out. As I got nearer the bottom I noticed freezerburnt stuff thats left over and dated... from around 88 and later. Then at the bottom there was about 1.5 inches of berries, juices, meat blood, etc frozen hard. So yeah.. it needed a good cleanout.
For the organization I have decided to use totes.. we bought some from linens and things yesterday as they were going out of business.. and the ones I bought were 1 inch too long for what I wanted. bugger, lol.

So whats teh plans today
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 16 08 11:21
Ambitious Mr. Russ !!!  Freezers have a way of getting out of hand.  I don't have one, but only for the lack of space to put one.  I read somewhere once, that if you can afford the space in your freezer, to line the bottom with plastic milk jugs filled with water.  That way, if the power goes out, it extends the length of time things will stay frozen by several hours.  You're also equipped with a good supply of drinkable water in the event of a disaster.

   Disagree. The fact that 30% annually vote in municipal isn't related to job, it's that they're more like Lise, they forget or they simply do not know. If you want higher turnout, put municipal and provincial elections together since BC has a fixed election date. There's a reason why the US votes for everything every 2 years in the first week of November. Half the public is too stupid to vote during any other time of the year. It's about election dates more than governance.

The 'we're tired' only works for the Federal parties.

I dont fully agree, but Ill agree with most of that.
We should do what Norway or Sweden (not sure which country it is), that using the tax returns, makes it mandatory for people to vote. By absentee or otherwise.. and it IS allowed to spoil your ballot if you think its a load of bollocks.. but you still have to put pen to paper.


30 percent is freaking dismal.

Is your area like my parents and unincorporated? They can build whatever they want on their property, and not have to answer to anyone with it. No building codes.. nothing. The only thing required is to get the electrical done by a certified electrician.. and thats it. No permits, building inspectors, or qualified builders required.

I dont think they care about that.. as long as they beat the other guy they can continue to run roughshod over the majority to appease the minorities.
Im serious about my opinion where we are a majority paying for a supreme court enforced minority dictatorship. (Im not talking political parties here either).

So you want an elected Supreme Court? How exactly? I elect my Supreme Court Justices in Missouri and county courts and everything else (Sup Crt Just used to be the cousin of Rush Limbaugh). You get a Yes or No on whether this person should be retained. It's pointless, you don't know who you are actually voting for and the judicial isn't suppose to be politicized. The instant you politicize the judiciary, you give a judge the potential to void the rule of law. You'll get county judges running in elections telling the electorate that they will put everyone in prison and crack down on crime (they become politicians). (this is your typical election campaign by judges in rural counties). North American judicial system (Canada and the US) is not created like Europe's where judges take part in the defense procedures and go after criminals. They're impartial.

usually unincorporated areas in the states have to go by county rules, down side you're the last to get your street plowed by snow as county controls the highways and that is most important. So for about a week your neighbourhood becomes a winter rally course. lol

 Russ is actually a goat.  He just pretends to be human.
 
 SD- lol at the "financiapocalypse".  I'll be using that phrase a lot.  I'm hoping to see some positive reporting in the start of 2009 and less fear-mongering.   Hopefully, once the new president is installed, there will be some direction.
 
 Just read a positive article indicating that things are looking up for one of our previous clients in Asia.  Hopefully that means we'll get a few months of work out of the deal.

   It is not the issue about who has a cool one or not.  It is just that that avatar is very disturbing and it upset me.  And yes, I do believe only a childish person would have such as his avatar.  I've seen friends, family members, aninmals looking like that and I don't think anyone who has experienced such wants to see such.  Anyone who's experienced similar trauma finds this "not cool".  Thanks for changing it.

Im soo sorry to hear that PC. That SUCKS!

I dont know how that program works, but I tend to double backup everything I do, and have it done automatically if possible. I will forget otherwise.


I am kinda startled here. I had my backdoor open and kitchen windows open for air as I was seasoning a new cast iron pot I picked up a few days ago. I went into the kitchen moments ago and was chirped at and then dived at by one, then they flew out the back door. They were small and grey. At least they didnt peck anything apart or shit on stuff.

Ok, Im making this post just cause this is was brought up again.

I didnt do it for the coolness factor.. I did it cause I was pissed off at my laptop and was actually beating on it last week when I was trying to figure out how to disconnect or get rid of my four arrow keys.
 
I do understand that it offended you, which is WHY I removed it when you said so. I removed it out of respect for your opinion cause you contribute to this forum, and you reasoned this out and posted why. I dont always agree with you, but I like the fact you have your opinions and stick to them. I found the way you made your point about it a little abrasive, but whatever.. Everyones got their own opinions. And this is an open forum.

 Russ- any plans to start an aviary in kitchen?  lol.  Birds in my kitchen would totally do me in.  I have a morbid fear of birds, and I think it started because we often had birds in the house when I was growing up (they used to fly in through the chimney).  We sometimes came home to find birds (live or dead) anywhere in the house.  It was gross.

Hiss hissssss hhhhiiiissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss



On the other hand.. made new england clam chowder. HHUUGE pot. Like you say, great night for sitting with a bowl of soup.


New England Chowder. (creamy white shtuff)

You'll need a fry pan and a big soup pot.
pack of bacon
 3 cans chopped clams
 1 bottle clam juice (should be right next to the canned clams at the store)
 1 large white onion
 bunch of celery ( I used 5 stalks of it, especially the leafy parts and centre)
10 potatos (thinly diced skin left on)
 1 pint heavy cream
 2 beers (Kokanee is good with this, but anything will work)
 1 bunch fresh marjoram
 1 bunch fresh thyme (you can use dried herbs if you want, just use a tablespoon or so of each, I used the dried crap)
 Salt and pepper
 Cornstarch
 
 1. Fry the bacon in the fry pan. Drain the bacon and set it aside. Save a couple tablespoons of the grease.
 2. Chop/dice the onion, and fry it in the saved grease. I used a frying pan for this
 3. While this stuff is cooking, chop the celery and potatos. Dice the potatoes fairly small, I leave the skins on. Put in big pot.
 4. In the big pot with potato's and celery, add the bottle of clam juice, and the two beers. When onion is translucent, add the whole frying pan into the pot.
 5. Open the cans of clams and drain the juice in with the rest of the soup. Don't add the clams yet, set them aside with the bacon. If there still is not enough liquid to completely cover the veggies, then top it off with some water, another beer, or some chicken stock, etc.
 6. Add salt and pepper (careful with the salt, as this cooks down it will get more salty). Tie the bunch of thyme and marjoram up with some string and add it to the soup. By cooking it, the leaves will fall off and then you can just pick out the packet of stems later.
 7. Bring the soup to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Cook until the potatoes are tender. About 30 minutes.
 8. Pick out the stems. Add the clams, the bacon, and the heavy cream. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
 9. Mix some cornstarch with some water until it's smooth. There's a lot of soup here and people vary on how thick they like their chowder, I like mine thick and creamy so I use about 5 big spoonfuls of cornstarch. Bring the soup back to a slow boil and then slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry. Seriously, make sure its boiling and add that stuff SLOWLY and mixing constantly, otherwise is glombs into a big ball. Trust me on this. The chowder should thicken almost immediately. Reduce the heat and simmer for another 20-30 minutes.
 Make some biscuits. Take some Bisquick baking mix and follow the recipe for 'Drop Biscuits' except add some cheddar cheese to the mix. While they're cooking, melt some butter with some garlic salt or minced garlic. When the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the biscuits with the garlic butter mess....

Hey Russ.....that's what I made for last nights dinner.  It was DEEEEElishious.

  add:  I didn't make it like that at all.  I did it with the roux method.....so I didn't need cornstarch.

Also....I have to tell you, that my mom made the best clam chowder around.....and what she did to thicken it, is throw some regular soda crackers in a plastic bag....beat them up a little and add to the soup.  Adds a yummy flavour and a nice texture.  They will thicken it nicely and become nice and creamy.

Ah, Christmas always gets me excited. Plus it helps to spread the anxiety around to your loved ones as it gets nearer and nearer. If I complete everything before December, there's less stress.

  Clam chowder has beer in it? NO WAYYYY! Or pork? Argh!!! Sucks. I love clam chowder but not if it has pork or beer in it. Those things are a big no-no in our family.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Nov 21 08 06:41
Well if you love Clam Chowder....chances are you've been eating it with bacon in it.  It doesn't have beer or pork in it.  THAT recipe has beer and pork in it....but it's only one of thousands of versions of Clam Chowder.  I've never made it with beer....although it sounds like it could be good....and I have made it without the bacon.....but only because I didn't have any on hand....and that's one ingredient that is really missed in the flavour of a good clam chowder.  But you can make it any way you want to make it.

Oh I don't mind the Christmas music all through December.  As a matter of fact, over the last few years, it's something I have really missed hearing while Christmas shopping.  Everywhere has become so politically correct (or as I believe....politically incorrect) that you just don't hear it anymore.  There was a time when Christmas was palpable in the air.  Not any more.  It's s been so homogenized, it's hardly detectable.

It's made out of a few cars with very limited xmasy decoration and a few blow-up snowmen, santa clauses, tinsels etc. etc. Very ho-hum. The gap between each participants was ridiculous. We're talking like a full 5 to 10 mins for them to catch up but then again you've got cars and children thrown into the mix, it's bound to be a s-l-o-w parade.

  We wanted to wait for Santa Claus but after one hour, we gave up and decided he was much better seen in the mall. Hah.

We did a costco run on friday.. few friends over. Starfishie and her brother, and cousin went to NKOTB.
Rest assured I did not.
On the roller end of my roll out tarp monstrosity, I had it sitting on a ledge. When the full tarp is out, I expected it to flop about, I did not expect it to be able to lift the roller end and help it across the yard into my fence. It was pretty lucky as it almost nailed a few people in teh head. After that, I have tied the roller thing down pretty tight. No more issues.

Saturday did some running around with a friend for tires and alignment on his mustang. Then did some stuff with my truck and changed the front brakes.
Cooked stirfry soy chicken and noodles. was pretty good. Some friends showed up for dinner.. kinda unexpected lol.

Today did the get up late thing as Starfishie was actually off. Breaky and coffee in bed. Checked back brakes on my truck and found them to be better than I thought, also found what the damn blasted ticking sound which was getting louder on my engine was. So I did a temp repair and its kinda in the back of my mind again for a while.
Did burgers with beer onions, cheese, ham, and of course an egg on top.

Tomorrow is running around day.

I was going to mention it could be lifters/ tappets. Could be out of adjustment, or in the case of LM, as the vehicle gets older it takes longer for the cold oil to flow and build up pressure in the hydraulic lifters to reduce the 'gap' so you dont hear a ticking or slapping sound.
Sorry, I tried to answer and had to reply.
On my truck is was a small exhaust leak between my drivers side head and exhaust header. I should have checked it a while ago, since I didnt, it was slowly eating away my metal exhaust gasket.. making the hole bigger and bigger, thus the sound getting louder. I just tighted the nuts for now, but really I should replace the gasket.
I also need to check my lifter adjustments.

EDIT: hows your oil level? Sometimes when the oil level gets lower, the lifters get louder

I'm off to console a friend.  The midlife crisis /marriage breakup saga is continuing to work its way through the neighbourhood.  Is it something in the water?  Or just our stage in life?  It's Melrose Place.
   
I dont envy you.. I have done this a few times now. Hey! At least you get to hear all the juicy details as to what happened!


In other news... I have been replacing the lights in my house with those IMO useless, low wattage energy saving bulbs. We are getting charged lots more on our bill cause we are a high user of energy... which in a way makes us shake our head cause we have a suite, but they dont take that into account. We will see.. we are planning on hooking up solar hot water panels, for heating and such. As well as in a few years getting solar panels for the roof. Maybe we will be doing it sooner than we thought..

Hows every else doing?

 Morning LM.. actually I think its good. I do use transit once in a while. I think its a must cause they tax the homeowners without an recourse, as well as drivers for the transit.. Its a must, but there should be voices from the other side as well.

Careful with that cough syrup.. when i was in China that stuff dried out my throat and made me feel terrible.. the next time I tried different stuff and it worked great and made me feel awesome.

So... its mad rush this morning planning stuff and changing courses..

Discovered that my first aid training expired last month.. no big deal normally but it looks like I need it for visa requirements.. no idea why.
So I go to get it.. and then I discover that Transport Canada.. in their game of one upmanship with the UK over our minimum national requirements, raised the course from a two day course to a  day course and almost tripled the price, beginning december. So I called all over and found a course in New Westminster that is on this weekend. So I called around to teh two people we were going with to the minimalls in the states and cancelled.
THEN I called back and told them to book me into teh course.. found out the info they had was wrong when they went to add me and it booked me as tomorrow and friday. So now I am calling around to the people I cancelled the weekend with to tell them its on again.. &lt;sigh&gt;
Im also waiting on a call from a parts place on the North Shore for a knuckle bearing on my Toy as when I opened it to do a basic seal change.. the bearings fell apart and were severely worn and corroded. So Im stuck on that avenue as well.

Chinese cough syrup makes your sugar level rocket. I told my hubby to try one and he felt a bit quesy so he tested himself. It well beyond the normal range so just beware of the sugar content in it.

Oh I'm having a good time. Its my favourite holiday when its done right and relatives ain't bitching about the N----r president. lol That's what happened last night and literally my dad walked out of the house. lol

worry about his grandkids though, if they talk like that around 2 year olds, they're going to become these white nationalists practically when they get older since the 'minority' population will be the majority.

always something with them trying to rain in on the parade.

oh well eat lots of turkey. have a good time. :)

That's sad SD.  You know...I think your dad shouldn't have walked out of the house....I think he should have insisted they leave...with a calm but loud explanation why.  He will send a stronger message to any of the children present.

Thats too bad to hear Lise.. it ALWAYS seems to be like that.. theres always someone that lets others do the work and take credit for being there. If it seems like it sucks, it does, but remember theres always karma.. and something always comes up and bites them in the ass.

Well, Im breaking down. It looks to be cheaper in time and money, and running around to just buy a winch bumper than to build one. Amazing.. it takes the wind out of my manhood sail, but its just easier than buying the material, bending, cutting, welding, swearing, and taking a few days of work.

 Ok Lise...gotcha!  (everyone else understood...)
 Having been in your situation, I know you can get more "action" if you have some possible solutions worked out in your head.  If you can suggest those, it's easy for the workplace to implement the solutions you've devised.  
 
 Otherwise, it's easy for the boss to say "ok...ok" and then do nothing.  I've done that a lot too at work...not for lack of caring, but because the issue gets shuffled to the backburner, especially if there is no immediate solution and some thought is required...other more pressing issues (with imminent deadlines) usually occupy my thoughts.
 
 Welcome home Michel.

  Good advice, LM. I will think on offering some ideas on how to tackle this situation but it's kinda hard considering the offender has been in the workplace for 16 years and can sweet talk her away out of anything. Plus it doesn't help that the supervisor has virtually given up on helping ot disciplining the offender(s).

heyo great day!

I'll get to P.C.'s reply in a sec. first the fun stuff:

Okay well I wanted to be a tourist for some reason. lol So I went to Gastown hung out by the clock around noon listened to it chime while holding the phone to it so my mom could here lol. Then I walked to the US Consulate, I wanted to wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving, but for some reason I decided against. So I finally got my phone # changed from an isle to a van #. finally. Oh and then for my 'thanksgiving' lunch I went for Vietnamese food, which everyone found funny today.
I tried for KFC but someone told me the store got shut down? oh well I couldn't find it today.
Had a blast met a bunch of Americans, good time.

Yeah on the 'incident' my father can't really ask them to leave without it causing an international incident. They're the type of people that can burn your house down with rage, but one snide remark or sarcasm even (which I get in trouble for) they'll get really mad and show their displeasure. I can't say anything to anyone about anything at all (which is really hard for me to do), I can't talk about Canada or anything as it will come back to my parents from my uncle as a 'strike' if you will.

And just to get a picture of my dad read To Kill a Mockingbird and the character Atticus Finch. That's my dad. So the act of him leaving the room is huge. Me on the other hand would of kicked them out and said don't come back I'm tired of this shit for the last 22 years etc, but I'm no Atticus Finch. :)

I LOVED Atticus.  

  I understand the complications and obligations with family, SD.  It's not always easy and not always cut and dried.  When it comes to family, sometimes there are problems without solutions.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)  But family or not, I just couldn't see myself tolerating that stuff in my house.  I'm ok with tolerating our differences...tolerating bad manners, tolerating different habits....all kinds of things....but tolerating blatant racism in my house,  is a no go.  There would never BE a 22 year relationship with anyone of that nature....family or not.  

  I think Atticus wouldn't have tolerated it either.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)   Did I say I love Atticus?

Overseas after new years? Long term or vacation?

Well, Im recovering from a bit of a champagne hangover. It freaking hurts. I dont think Ive ever experienced one quite like that.

I should find my camera and take a picture for you all of my new fishies for my tank.. well, not really fish, I got two Crawfish (fresh water lobsters) and man are they funny to watch. They are going around pinching the other fish if they got too close to teh bottom. One of them keeps trying to walk up the side of the tank.

Yeah, stop a subsidy of political parties.. making people who support them put their money where their mouth is. Unfortunately for parties like the green or communist NDP, they are pooched as thier members wont support them.

I actually agree with this, eliminating my money funding these fools. Im also talking about the conservatives at this point as well. Im not exactly thrilled with them either.

There was a huge public outcry when the liberals mandated the taxpayers paying for their re-election and media blitz's.

Well, back from running around.

Hey PC I went to one of those fabric stores.
It was 15/ yard for the offwhite course looking one that you wanted.
for a plain white it was 10/ yar, and for a brown plain one was 10/ yard.
Theres like four stores on that block alone.

the EI in there after answering my questions obviously couldnt help herself and asked," why do YOU want to know this stuff, you are boy."
I explained it was for a lamp and after gettting a blank confused face after a couple of tries I changed the subject.

  LOL      Oh Russ.....bless you're little buttons !  I too went to a few, out of the way, smaller fabric stores today, just to make sure I had left no stone unturned.  Shopping here can sometimes be very frustrating.  Nadda !  It really shouldn't be hard to get.

  15 bucks a yard is good.  I may have to take a trip over.

Thankyou tons Russ.

  You probably got the same blank look from the lady, that I got from the guy at Home Depot.  He poo-pooed the concept, and flatly told me there was nothing that would work for the purpose I was intendingm unless I got something custom made.  I told him he didn't understand, that[FONT size=4] I [/FONT]was custom making it....so whatever material that would be used to have it custom made...could I get some of THAT please.  He said 'no....you can't get that stuff'. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Angry/2.gif)

I asked 4 other employees there, and got the same.  I looked around for myself, until I found something that would work just perfectly.

  Then to add to an already frustrating day, it took me an hour and a half to make the half hour trip home.  Turns out there was an accident on the highway, on the stretch where there are no alternate routes. I felt bad for feeling impatient, as whoever was in the accident was having a far worse day.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)

I agree with purelife's assessment.  Michel's meal needs a carbohydrate.
 Rinse a potato in the microwave, eat a noodle cup, or eat some bread with the steak.
 (and add a handful of vegetables-- do you ever buy the frozen peas/carrots?  Microwave a little bowl.  Or eat a handful of baby carrot sticks, or an orange, or a handful of bag salad)

purelife, we share the same supervisor. The sad truth of the matter is that she is blinded to what's going on at the front line.

  I went to see her Friday morning to explain what had happened. I was shocked to hear that the other co-worker have blantantly lied about what happened. She made the claim that I had said this and that and was close to being insubordinate. My supervisor told me that I should listen to her to the co-worker because she has more seniority and that sometimes "you do the job anyways, not because you like it but because you have to."

  I felt my words were not listened to and that because this co-worker have gone to her first (I was on my day off) that I did not get a chance to say anything. Even after speaking the truth (I've nothing to hide) I felt I did not get the support nor given a fair response. My supervisor will talk to the co-worker again but I don't think it will get anywhere. It will just be more lies fed one after the other. She could spin a yarn with her eyes closed.

  I went to the union the same afternoon because of the whole situation. Thank goodness the person in charge was a good listener and could see how distress I was. I had only spoken the truth and gotten into trouble for that. As it stands, the union will now become involve with my case. I don't know if going to them will make me an enemy but I felt as if I had no choice. It's become an ugly affair which could have been avoided had that co-worker been more honest.

Aw Lise.  I feel for you, girl.  Keep on with this and let us know how it's going.  Remember that if you're telling the truth, you're doing the right thing.  Good for you for speaking up about a horrible situation.
 
 My dad is the forever pragmatist.  He always asks me, when I describe a bad/wrong situation, "Can you live with it?"  That's the test of whether you should take personal action or not.  If it's not that bad, it's often not worth the effort to create a fight....but if it IS bad, something needs to be said and done.
 
 Slightly offtopic:
 Unfortunately...I have a neighbour....an older woman who is probably lonely and has nothing else to occupy her time....makes semantical arguements about EVERYTHING in the community.  She sees everything in black/white terms and if there is ever a mistake or error made about anything (however minor), she gets on her high horse and starts a fight  about it.  *sighs*  This woman has no grip on reality!

A cranky old lady in your neighborhood, eh? We get a cranky old  man living behind us. Seems to me that ppl who have no life just want to make other ppl as miserable as they feel. It certaily isn't right but I'm a great believer that karma will find a way to get back at them.

  Thanks for the words of support, LM. I just feel so bumped out that I'm not able to sleep properly at night. To think that this woman can make a small situation be blown so out of propotion is ridiculous. I cannot ignore this. If I did, then the same thing will happen again and again and one day I'm going to be called up for something I didn't do.

  Y'know, I always have this philosophy that if you work hard, keep your head down and do the best you can, you won't have any trouble. It's so wrong. No matter what you do, even if you're honest and hard working, you still get blame for things. Well, I'm not going to let her have the satisfaction that she can get away with whatever. It's time for me to stand my ground and I'm not gonna go down without a fight.

  Sorry.... I'm venting. It's not like me.

  The philosophy of keeping your head down and doing the best you can is still true and good words to live by.  It doesn't mean that it is without consequence....most often generated from those who do not live by this philosophy.  It allows us the luxury of a clear conscience and pride in having a good work ethic.

We did have a reservation (there were 18 of us), but I understand that they normally won't take large parties.

 But a reservation is probably a good idea.  The place is busy.

Hubby's company Christmas party last night.  Was lots of fun.  Dinner was a buffet manned by the Soup Natzis.  You had to practically beg for a second piece of potato and go back up for seconds if you wanted a piece of turkey bigger than a tablespoon.  Other than that....dinner was ok.  Stayed in a hotel there, so we could have a few cocktails at the party.

 Well, 5 hours of doing absolutely NOTHING is my idea of fun.

  Begging for a second scrap of turkey at a Christmas luncheon? How rude!! (EDIT: I mean how rude of the server to make you feel like you have to beg not the other way round. LOL -- oh how embarrassing....)

  Bulgogi is a type of Korean dish where you cook the food on the table using a hot grill. It's really delicious and absolutely easy to make. The only drawback is the smell and smoke.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Nov 30 08 05:46
Y'know.... I'm not sure. I think bulgogi is a type of dish (usually beef) that's not cooked so it just sit there in its marinade sauce so you just cook the sucker on the grill.

I don't cook bulgogi authentically.
 I marinade thin beef in bulgogi sauce (from a jar) and then stirfry it with vegetables.  That's the way my Korean friends cook it- it's easy.
 
 Bulgogi sauce is totally yummy- it's a sweet soya BBQ sauce.  P.C. and Sawdust would love it- can marinade anything in it.

  Lib/NDP coalition agreed upon. Coalition to be 30 months long 16 Lib cabinet positions, 4 NDP positions. Leader to be decided tomorrow at Liberal caucus. Stephen Harper's career is burnt toast.

And we've got a possible Watergate with this illegal tape fiasco by the Conservative party.

Tape is not illegal. A tory was invited (by mistake?) and the tories decided to release it.

Im interested if this coalition is even legal. I think its REALLY wrong because they are bypassing the legally elected PM. Wonder whats going to happen to future elections after this.

Canada is not a Presidential System like the states. You don't elect Prime Ministers. This is perfectly legal under the Canadian system based of Britain within the conventions of responsible government. The Governor General will use her reserve clause and this coalition will go through as the House of Commons does not support the cabinet and they have an alternative.

This is how most European governments work. Parties work together.

Evening LM!

Whens your birthday? Happy birthday!

Its wet out today.. especially when I moved someone in the rain tonight, thankful my brother helped though.

My brother came back fromt eh island yesterday and his truck was louder.. the entire exhaust was fine except for where the tailpipe came out of the muffler. It was rusted through! Would have to get a new muffler, clamp etc.. He went out to get stuff to repair it and came home telling me to forget it, he went out and bought a 1200 !!! dollar stainless steel exhaust. At least he wont have to replace it ever again.

SD, Michel: I knew they had something of a coalition in the past, but didnt realize it could be done like this. Interesting. Ah well, these things happen, I hope it doesnt, but if its legal.. its allowed. Its part of our check and balance system. If it works, maybe it will be for the better, although I would prefer it if they didnt have to use the separatists (sp?) of canada!

Y'know what, guys? After much soul searching over the weekend, I've decided that I'm not going to let them get to me. I'm so angry at myself for violating the Four Agreement Rules that I preached. The rule of NEVER LET THINGS GET PERSONAL was high on my list and I did that. Because of that, I allowed this person to invade my space and to get at me.

  So I just documented the whole thing and passed it to the union. Told them that this is a document and that I'm going to see what happens. My supervisor didn't speak to me about it but she was 'nicer' to me. Don't know why. Didn't talk to my co-worker all day long unless it was something I had to ask. She came to me after work to ask if everything was ok. I told her it was s'okay and that it was forgoteen. She didn't apologize but neither did I (tho I had nothing to apologize to). We just kinda left it at that.

  But I'm documenting everything from now on. I know the truth, God knows the truth so I have nothing to fear. I tell you, the Bible in this time of need is truly a marvellous book to depend on.

  Thank you so so so much, you guys for all your support. Truly! You guys are fatabulous. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/1.gif)

I hear yeah on the Bloc thing, but the Bloc really isn't a separatist party, its more of a regional party that acts in Quebec's interests. Like Reform supposedly acted for Western Canada in the 80s.

  I just chose Russ' quote because it was a summary, and I need to vent.

  I can't describe how mad this whole situation makes me!! Harper screwed the pooch with an ill considered, vindictive little play to cut financing and it came back to bite him in the butt. Fine, but don't try to tell us that the lack of confidence is due to a lack of a stimulus package. It is nothing more than the Liberals &amp; NDP prostituting themselves with the Bloc in a naked power grab.

The Liberal and the NDP combined are still 29 seats short of the Conserveratives, so in order to take power and govern the country, they need the support of the bloc, who exist to prove the country doesn't work. Does that make sense?

  I understand that it is legal, I understand that it's politics and it is a tough business. I also understand that 6 weeks ago the Canadian public voted, and in the less than 2 weeks since Parliament was convened, the people the electorate said no thank you to, have said our vote means squat. It's no wonder the voter participation rates keep dropping.

  This isn't a partisan rant, I just think that after never having missed an election, I'm wondering if it's worth the time to keep voting when the politicians don't give s--- what we think. Couldn't they have pulled this stunt earlier instead of letting us spend $300 million on an election??????

I agree wholeheartedly. It makes me ANGRY. If they want a coalition it should ahve been stated in the begining. It is a naked power grab, and I hope that the government picked a strong enough GG. (I dont think they picked the right one, but thats just me).

Whats the point of having an election then and electing someone? All they did was creat a constitutional crisis in my mind.

I agree Harper was a tool to do it at this time.. I am a conservative. I hate the way the country has turned. I agree with some of the ideals, but not all of the changes/ plans, and not the way some of them are done.. but I DO agree with him getting rid of taxpayer funded political pork barrels. I still hate the liberals for that.

I really agree on the Bloc. In order for the liberals and the communists to grab power they needed teh only party that I was hoping was diminishing... and give it more national importance. That being said.. I still like Duceppe as a statesman, but not for his ideals.

EDIT: sorry I cant bless you more than once in an hour.

Why are you against the federal funding Russ? It helped the parties like the Conservatives more than the Liberals.

Anyway I'll be non-partial here. Harper for the last two years put the parliament with a gun to its head. Then the election happened, he said he'd work together with other parties, but that's just not what Stephen Harper does apparently. I don't think he's capable, he has yet to show it. If Harper was smart and statesman like he'd do what Andrew Sullivan said on The National tonight, he'd ask the Liberals to be in a coalition. That's what is happening in Germany, the two major parties are in a coalition. But that's just not Stephen Harper, he hasn't shown any capability to work with other people. He's always acted as he's still in Opposition. Anyway, yeah the Liberals look foolish right now with Dion, but Ignatieff will win the leadership race so there will be somebody people like as Prime Minister.

So when Stephen Harper decided that he was going to start playing games, the Opposition rightly or wrongly just had enough with it. Revenge of the Bullied if you will. Like '06 and '08 with Karl Rove style Republican Party antics. Parliament wasn't working because Stephen Harper refused to believe he was in a minority instead of a majority.

Now Harper could ruin his party if he tries to prorogue the government. If he does that he's this century's Borden and his conscription.

Im against many things with no rhyme or reason to be truthful. Not to mention I dont really believe that the conservatives were better off than the liberals on this.. the conservatives seem to be better at having donations than the liberals.. who were teh ones that arranged for it in the first place.
I dont feel its right to fund political parties that a taxpayer doesn't believe in. If I feel that I believe enough in a party I will donate time and or money to it. I dont want my money to go to support separatists (again to me with their statements and actions [which speak louder than words] suggest this).

 I dont like the liberals with all the flipflopping they do and decisions I angrily disagree with. But I kinda agree with you on the fact that Ignatieff is teh person for the party at this point.

I myself dont really get what prorogueing the government will get harper. If the opposition want to fell the elected government, they will. If they do get the go from the GG to lead teh country, I dont think either the NDP or the Liberals will be in power again for a long time. Many supporters of the liberals and NDP are angry.. and some of the ones that are very angry are staunch supporters. Look at some of the provincial parties that are not happy with the way the federal parties did it.

Well Russ just to let you know. The system works in that whom you vote for, you're vote is 1.98 that's where you are putting your money. Anyway in Paul Martin's memoir he rants on Chretien for passing the law because most of the Liberal backers were big backers on Bay Street. So in Martin's view Chretien was killing off the Liberals cash cow, while the Conservatives were always small donors. Liberals have been short of cash ever since the passing of the federal law....


P.C. do you have Black Forest cake?

I know that. I think its right that big corporations cant influence political elections like that by throwing big money towards a party. I think its right that PEOPLE can make political donations.. as they vote and they are the ones that elect a government.
I suppose that is a way of looking at how a voter 'donates' money to a party.. and you are right in essence. Except that its taxpayer money thats been diverted without people actually putting their hands into their pockets and taking the time to donate. Thats the point, you are forced to donate. Look at the reaction when it was first introduced, and look at the polls of people about Harpers desire to do it now. Many people want it done, they dont WANT their money funding political parties.

P.C. do you have Black Forest cake?
 
I still want pumpkin pie. And Im still mad at whomever walked off with my pumpkin I had for halloween.. I carved it the night of halloween and wanted to use it for pie the next day. At least I didnt see it smashed on the street I suppose.

sorry if its above you.
Dion looks like a mouse. Dion is a mouse. The video implies of a guy going to 'save the day' but he's too nerdy. Dion is nerdy. The way Kauffman dances implies a person running up and saying "I can save the day from all our troubles!"

&lt;tap tap tap&gt; is this thing on? Seems pretty quiet. You would almost thing PC is doing something.

Ill give something.

So Im kinda in a position again. lol. I found a 1999 fully loaded suburban. Sounds good condition. CHEAP CHEAP. After a number of emails with the owner, he has invited me to come look at it.

Problems:
It has a pooched engine. I dont know much about these engines, and all the places I call for a used engine dont have any.. they have sold them out. Does this mean they have problems with this era of engine?
I dont know what is wrong with the engine yet for certain. It seems that the engine is seized though. I would have to remove it, take it apart and see for certain if anything is salvagable.
since it is newer than 95 it is OBDII, which means it falls under the airscare plug and play diagnostic. If I get another engine, everything has to match and work correctly or it throws engine codes/ faults and it wont pass airscare.
As I hadnt seen it run, I can only hope the guy isnt lying when he says that everything ran great, with no problems before this. He doesnt have a clue about trucks or engines, which I cant fault him on. It just makes it harder until I get elbows deep into oil on this engine to find out whats wrong.

I have called autowreckers and nobody has this engine type I need for this. I know Im kinda jumping the gun when I dont know what went wrong wiht the engine but I kinda wanna have ideas and a ballpark figure if I have to go that route. Im waiting on a call back from a buddy at a machine shop to see what he says, he deals with all type of engines all day long, I trust him as far as I can throw him in politics though. At least the engine is complete, so all the electronics and super expensive electronics are all there where they are supposed to be.

Summary: Russ is thinking about getting another big gas guzzler, because it is cheap, but is worried cause if it has other problems it is going to get expensive real fast.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Dec 02 08 02:49
Aww....poor Russ !  I don't understand all the engine talk so I don't know if it's a good engine or a bad engine, good deal or bad deal...but I can offer a totally different vantage point ??

  It sounds like you could be buying a hobby....and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that...if you're aware that's what you're getting (and it does sound like your eyes are wide open)  Hobbies are great, but they're expensive and take up lots of time.  On the other hand, being busy is a good thing.

  *how do you like that for totally useless advice ?  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)

  Yes....I have been busy.  I am on the 3rd attempt on the construction of my stupid...I mean, my fabulous lamp.  I think I've got it now.

I followed the Michel Method of Clock Repairs to do the electrical.  I have taken apart two lamps to use for the inner workings, and neither worked....and when put back together in their original state.....don't work either.  *heavy sigh*

The only suggestion I have for hobbies is to "call" it a business and write-off some expenses on your taxes.  Use Quicktax or whatever and there is a module included for a simple owner-operated business.  Sell a couple units a year and write off some tools and supplies.

Uh, the suburban wouldnt be my hobby it would be my daily driver ( so to speak for less than six months a year). Once its together its together until something breaks.
All it is, is a broken down vehicle. Im going to look at it tomorrow and more than likely buy it. For the price, as long as its in good condition Ill buy it. I talked to my machine shop buddy and for the max cost it will be for me, I will be saving about 4k buying it right now in working condition.

The 'toy' is the hobby. lol.


Finished moving buddy today, picked up his bike, bbq, and some other odds and ends. Anybody need a cooler? lol.

Well this is dinner theatre. I've been laughing with roomies non stop for 30mins.

[h3]Liberals apologize for late delivery of Dion video[/h3]"I apologize for what happened tonight. I apologize for the poor quality and the lateness. I am livid and am doing an investigation as to how this happened," Johanne Senecal, Dion's Chief of Staff, said to CTV News tonight.

[ul][li]6:15-6:30 - The Liberal miss their promised deadline to deliver Dion's statement to the television networks. [/li][li]6:40 - Liberal arrive with a single tape at the press gallery in Ottawa. They were supposed to deliver two tapes, one in French, one in English. They arrived with a single tape in DVD-minicam format, which is not a broadcast quality format. [/li][li]Shortly after 6:40 - The Liberals decide to run back to their offices -- a block away -- because the French portion of the tape needs another edit. [/li][li]7:05 - Liberal staffers were still in their offices as the networks went to air with the Harper address. [/li][li]7:07 - Harper's statement finishes and network anchors are forced to kill time as they wait for Dion's address. [/li][li]7:10 to 7:15 - Liberal staffers arrive back at the press gallery on Wellington Street with a DVD-minicam player that they had taken from their own offices, along with the associated cables. There is still only one tape, not two. A press gallery official tells the Liberals that the gallery is not the feed point and an argument ensues. The Liberals ask why they weren't told that earlier. The feed point is next door at the CBC building, which is the long-established feed play point for all network pools. The Liberals are informed that they need to be walked into the building by authorized staff. [/li][li]7:20 - English network anchors are still live on television, wondering where the tape is. CTV has still had no communications from the Liberals about Dion's address. [/li][li]Approximately 7:15 - CBC receives tape and begins dubbing into French and English versions. This takes about 10 minutes. [/li][li]7:28 - CTV decides to go off-air and back to regular scheduled programming at 7:30. CTV has still not seen a feed of the tape. [/li][li]7:28 - CBC incorrectly punches out the finished feed only to their network. [/li][li]7:30 - CTV signs off broadcast at scheduled time. [/li][/ul] "We missed our deadline," Moreau said. "The shot was not all that professional. It was soft-focused."
[/p]
CTV received angry emails within minutes of Dion's broadcast. Some viewers thought CTV was ignoring the Liberal leader, while others thought Dion was purposely snubbing the network. [/p] Dion's coalition partners were both angry and embarrassed by the Liberal address.The NDP said Wednesday's fiasco undermined the credibility of the coalition, CTV's Robert Fife reported. [/p] "I'm told that (Bloc Quebecois Leader) Gilles Duceppe ran into Mr. Dion in the elevator and asked 'What the hell happened?' and Mr. Dion said, 'We're not used to being in opposition," Fife said.

Huh? I love living here. I don't know about other immigrants though, they might not want to stay with the shenanigans. No this whole week has been comedy hour really. You've got most likely Conservative Party plants calling up radio shows saying we live in a Third World country, and are just not making sense (Tories have a website up telling supporters with bullet points to call into radio shows (enter your postal code, gives you all the radio shows to call into).
Then you've got the Liberal Party of Canada making a video to the nation in a homemade camcorder, they forget the other tape and the national networks just kill time. You've got a Prime Minister who is implying that just looking at a Bloc MP is an act of treason. You've got Stockwell Day saying he'd never of signed a deal with the Bloc which would of been against his heart. Yet he did just that.
You've got the Bloc leader and NDP leader looking the sanest in Parliament over the two 'main parties' which are suppose to run this country. We've got a Gov. General in Prague.

You can't make this stuff up, its brilliant.
And at the same time I'm loving this, I grew up in a red state during the Clinton years with a neighbour who thought Clinton killed off his political opponents and I lived through 8 years of the Bush administration and their whacked out zombie supporters.

I'm freaking loving this.
Anything that mocks the system is great. Dilutes the idea that this is some proper place of importance. When reality bureaucracy runs this country, the machine keeps it going, politicians and the House of Commons are just actors. Belgium went 18 months without a government. This is what DADA is to High Art. I love recounts where they're talking about hanging chads and political parties fighting over really nothing with really bad one liners, over the top antics worthy of the Oscars for best foreign film.

his rhetoric alone is quite stunning, especially in QP. The country is split. He gets more favourable ratings in Alberta and "the West" w/ rural BC, but in Ontario and Quebec they don't like it. I said on Friday I think he Borden'd himself with the Conservative brand in Quebec. BQ is a legitimate party, it represents a certain group of Canadians and the BQ is always the power broker in every parliament, so to have in writing that they would vote with the coalition on budget and confidence matters, (without them being able to have input but agreeing to it anyway) and saying that's somehow undemocratic is rather silly. This isn't a constitutional issue, its a political one.

And to say Jacques Parizeau is somehow part of the coalition is even more ridiculous. That guy is a crazy old man who was last seen blaming the ethnics for losing the referendum. He has no influence whatsoever especially since the PQ isn't running on a referendum platform. And the BQ is an interest party, its the flaw in the system, regional parties work the best in first past the post.

Yes you'd think a 60c dollar is good, but it isn't especially with the automakers going down, which is Ontario/Quebec. Canada's economy is commodities driven so you want a higher dollar. Oil has fallen to levels where its not good for Alberta if you're an oil person. Due to the way they get the oil, oil has to be high or oil companies will be putting more money in than they get out. It needs to be above 60-70 in order to make a profit.

Russ will not be the happy owner of a Suburban. It is a piece.
There was warning bells when I got to the place to look at it, it is a business. The bells got louder when I was told as I went out the back to look at it, that its not the picture in the add.. the picture is of a similar vehicle. The bells were getting really loud when the girl showing us to the vehicle said, oh its been back here for almost a year now. When I opened the drivers door it was hard to open, the seats were ripped badly, and the interior stunk. There were rotten apples on the rear seats, and the back was moldy. Yeah. Then the guy wanted to know if I would take it for less than he wanted.

  Good morning fellow DS'ers! Tonight is SS's xmas party. She's always worried when Im around her coworkers with my sailor stories. I enjoy the looks of naked fear and consternation on her face.

  Running over to N Van today to go looking at used stuff. Im looking for a ships wheel and a brass propeller.

  And the announcement on the bacon mosaic with cheese. Do it. Do It. DO IT. Its worth it. I can feel my arteries swoon at me in happyness. SS couldnt eat her side.

Its not that hard, takes like 30 minutes of the bacon in the oven at 400 on the cast iron pan. I then put four slices of costco cheese on it, and put it back in for like a minute, then rolled it and used toothpicks to hold it in place. The smell of it in the kitchen was killing us.

  OK, time to run away! Hope everyones having a lovely day.. Im on my third cup of j-ava by the way.

So I'm walking across campus, I'm the only one out, a raccoon gets scared of me (it was walking in my direction).

*yawns*  Hey everyone.  The Santa Claus Parade was a great event.  Wow, was it ever cold in the marshalling area on Nicola Street, though.  Cold breeze running straight up from the ocean.  Kids did a stupendous job of smiling and waving....little guys in my group rode in a Stanley Park horse-drawn trolley and the older kids walked behind and jumped over the horse manure.
 Took Skytrain downtown and back...and didn't lose anyone!  It was a great day.  Looong day, though.  Left home at 9am and got home around 5pm.

Gopher: eat those damn things they shit everywhere and make tons of noise.

My brother just got back from a store that had a big sale starting today.. but the management that put the sale in the paper forgot to tell the employee's. So there was about 20 angry people in the store before the management woke up and confirmed to the clueless employees about the sale.

Russ is officially sick. Everyone stay back.

Played with truck some more finished the winch on the new bumper and noticed my front grill wouldnt fit anymore... so I ended up cutting out parts of it so it could fit back on. Also modified my marker lights on the front so they are turn signals as well. Note to self.. dont touch the tip of the glue gun to see if its hot.

Good morning PC, Michel, SD, and Stretchedout.
Another fine beautiful morning of me still wet from the grass and unsure if madder at my brother or the recycling twits.

Im feeling a bit better today.. and will be heading down the back in another half hour. To the garage I go.

tonight we have to do a costco and stupidstore run for the last things and get packing with food and clothes. Tomorrow I want to just finish loading and hop in my truck to leave.. not spend three hours packing and loading while SS is at work.

Michel.. she has gotten my brothers GF involved now. I wont be forgetting this.

Evening everyone.  Ran errands with MrLM today and went to Daiso for stocking stuffers.  MrLM was not expecting much, but pleasantly surpised at the vast array of stuff there.  Would have been better without the City of Richmond parking ticket(!), but not planning to pay it anyways...
 
 Tried out my new hotpot starting last night.  Chopped up a whole bunch of veggies yesterday and finished them tonight. Last night was spicy broth and tonight was sukiyaki.
 
 Russ, hope you feel better and have a great weekend camping.
 
 purelife- So sorry to hear about your car :(
 But if you don't need to drive everyday, zipcars might be the way to go.
 
 MrLM is MacGuyvering a repair to the cargo cover for the car.  We're going out in a bit...got a volunteer gig from 8pm-11:15pm tonight so I'm loading up on coffee right now.
 
 My weekend is going to be a mixed bag of stuff- Heckyl and Jeckyl coming home from spending the week with grandparents, going to see friends, having Xmas party with the neighbours and gearing up for Heckyl and Jeckyl's last week at school.

 I have a couple unpaid City of Van parking tickets from 10 years back- there's not much they can do to you.  If you have a bunch of them (like 7 I think) they will tow you away, otherwise they will send you letters in the mail and that's about it.

&lt;bless&gt; LM and Michel!
Just stopping in for a few.. then going back to packing. Im REALLY happy, the truck is driving good this time.. better than last time. AND I discovered the funny trannny sounds that were coming from the gearbox that had me dreaming of 3 thousand dollars flapping away with wings, ended up being a transfer case shifter being installed wrong by yours truly like a year ago... BIG &lt;sigh&gt; of relief. and smack on the head.
And a big note to everyone.. if you have tire chains and store them in a plastic container.. make sure you drill a drain hole in the bottom. I dug the container out of all the stuff the other day to find them.. and found two inches of water in the bottom of the container :(  Rusty rusty chains :(

OK, ttyl might chat with ya again later. If not, take care. Ill take some pics!

 HATE the evil HP consumer plot.   Couldn't print a damn thing until I got new colour ink, even though I only print B&amp;W.   The cheapo ink refill place I go to couldn't refill on the spot, so I needed to fork over $25 for a new ink cartridge at Best Buy until I can go pick up my refilled ink tomorrow.  Harumph.
 
 Soup and sammy for dinner in a bit.  I just parked the accounting for the night and I'm sitting with a vodka/tonic.

haha. St. Louis didn't have a winter for most of this decade. We went 2 years without school being cancelled, and from '04-'06 we only got one snow fall a year when it usually was around 5. Weather is strange there. It'll go from 15 to -10 in a couple hours then go back to 10 the next day.

I find it funny that the year I decided to leave the city, the city had it's worst winter since the 70s.

  Michel....you have to look at cooking through different eyes.  You're getting caught up in the notion that there is some mystique surrounding it.  It's the same as following a pattern to make a dinasaur replica...or fixing a clock....you have to follow the instructions.

Well I was always taught that the stories are history. For example, 666 isn't meaning the coming of the anti-christ, it was Nero this tyrannical emperor. You had to have a symbol of Nero in order to do business, he ended up killing himself, but people thought he was almost God like etc. Anyway that's what I learned in church. lol

Evening. I had Simpatico's for dinner, mmm Moussaka, bought some stella's for the office Christmas Party tomorrow (now I need to buy an appetizer to bring), no secret Santa unfortunately, nobody wanted to do it. Proceeded to then watch all the Smallville episodes I've missed so far this year. Later tonight I received an email on the passing of my high school teacher/football coach/school reverend from cancer, 61. I'm glad I emailed him a 'SD life update' last month, gave about every picture I took of BC.

Morning!
Well, made it back! I had a semi serious issue and limped out the last 40km of logging road, then was fine on the freeway. Also ran out of gas right before the exit of the logging road and went into a ditch.. I had spare gas but didnt want to get out to put some in until the end of the logging road.. my own fault there.
My brother took off right after my breakage to get home in case he needed to come back wiht the car trailer.. and one other guy went off to try to keep up. Well we didnt know that, as we thought he was with the first guy and he ended up taking a wrong turn and getting lost and almost stuck at 30k in the wrong logging road. We all gave him crap for not paying attention.. he could have been stuck there for a long time.

Well, gotta go for a bit here. I have to start looking at all the shiny new parts I need to get for my Toy! Im happy but I dotn think starfish is going to be when she sees the bill.

 Afternoon lovely people!

I read on a car blog today that the average North American walks only 82 miles a year compared to Europeans who walk 282 miles, they equated it to obesity rates and the study showed that Europeans burned 5 to 9lbs on average just be walking. So I decided to calculate how much I've walked just on campus in the past 3.5 months and I've walked a whopping 284 miles on a conservative calculation! wow.

Its 284 miles from St. Louis Mo to Kansas City Mo. I've walked my state! (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
So by the end of the year, in just UBC walks alone I'd of walked to Salt Lake City.


Anyway, I'm enjoying this colder weather in Vancouver. Robson looks really nice at night.

Hey Everyone!  *waves* c-c-c-old today.  I know what you mean about slippery, purelife.  I just walked home down a steep hill.
 
 Things are moving along quite well here. MrLM and I went to a Christmas concert on Fri, saw friends, Heckyl and Jeckyl came home on Saturday after a week with grandparents, had community Christmas party with neighbours in the complex here on Sunday.
 Last night my Beaver kids sang at the seniors home and gave out cards.  We did a little craft with the seniors- my little guys were super helpful at passing out stickers for the seniors to put on some Christmas ornaments, but the tubes full of glitter glue weren't such a great idea (for either the kids or the old folks...).
 
 Have a few more items to shop for- goal is to be finished groceries and everything by Fri so I'm out of the stores next week.

Put the bird in a cooler and place it outside. Should work.

Speaking of dogs, I was wondering when it gets to those temperatures where only 10mins of exposure leads to frostbite, how do you 'let the dog out' to go outside. Fido would freeze to death.

You can use anything.  As long as you have a larger container, and a smaller container to fit inside.  I use 2 sized of my stainless bowls.  Put some water in the bigger one....float the smaller bowl inside with something to weigh it down....but not too far down.  After they're frozen....removed bowls....and you're left with a nice  crystal ice bowl.  (great to line your walkway with tealights inside.....PURDY !)

  Wine holders.....get a bottle (same size as wine you'll server for dinner).  Fill milk carton with water (greenery, cranberries or holly berries)  Submerge the wine bottle in the milk carton (don't weigh it down with water...use rice or dried beans)   When frozen....remove carton....fill bottle with slightly warm water to free it.  Put in bowl and put your real bottle of wine in to keep cool.  Again....PURDY !

    haha. Yeah, North St. Louis, if only the glory days of North St. Louis depicted in that movie could come back, literally. But the movie is correct about getting lost downtown on the highways. Some really smart person decided it was wise to merge 3 major interstate highways onto one bridge crossing over the Mississippi then have the next exit be an exit for 3 interstate highways splitting off while continuing on a 4th. brilliant foresight, the man deserves a bust and a street named after him.
   


add: Oh oh puuuuurfect movie to watch next for you. Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. Its snowing outside, its the holidays, and its another Missouri/Illinois centric movie. The airport still hasn't changed, crappy parking lots.

Then later watch In the Heat of the Night. lol

bwhaha I found the movie where they destroy St. Louis. Some crappy Sci-fi movie
[a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433883/"]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433883/[/a]

"It's 2 A.M. in St. Louis when a routine scientific experiment goes terribly wrong and an explosion shakes the city. A scientific team investigates, clashing with an intergalactic, voltage-devouring creature that vaporizes them. By 7 A.M. a chain of earthquakes is tearing the city apart while a massive swirling black hole is consuming the remains. The alien is devouring every source of electricity it finds and destroying every human who blocks its way. Mass chaos rules as St. Louis is being evacuated. Only a few people, scientist Eric Bryce, his assistant Shannon, and General Ryker comprehend the mortal danger. By midnight, the Pentagon initiates a nuclear attack against the black hole. Bryce has only one hour to find a solution to obliterate the alien and the colossal black hole before mankind is annihilated."

lol.  I guess they are just places where large piles of snow have fallen out of the trees....but they have left perfect circles.  It feels a little less cold out there this morning....but still don't think I'll get the car out of the drive.  Just as well, I have plenty to do.

Our puppy saw snow for the first time a couple weeks ago and freaked out when flakes started hitting him. Now he loves the snow. Whenever it snows the cat walks out like he's on a type rope.


morning Van, PC, Michel. Taking a cab, bag is way too big and no way am I going to trudge around in the snow with luggage. What's a good time to leave before a flight flying domestically in Canada?

Plane leaves at 2pm goes to Calgary arrives at 4:25pm, leaves Calgary at 6pm arrives at Denver at 8:25pm leaves Denver at 9:05pm arrives in St Louis at 11:59. Now I highly doubt the planes will be on time, as there's snow in the forecast for every city and freezing rain for St Louis. lol

apparently a one way flight to Tokyo is 7hrs, I know this kid doing the 3 connecting flights and he lives in Zürich. lol I'm only going 2 time zones. sad. lol
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 18 08 08:15
 Morning PC, VAn, SD, and Michel...

SD: I normally arrive at the airport an hour before for a flight domestically. This is cause of the lineups fo rchecking in baggage (pain in the ass) and because after checking in your bag, you have to go through the metal detector security check.. which is usually an even longer line. Remember its christmas time.. so there will be lots and lots of people.

I found out this morning I will be leaving after xmas but right before new years.. &lt;sigh&gt; at least its xmas at home this year then.


Michel: Theres nothign wrong with buying very very useful stuff from losers like you described.. I have a closet full of such useless stuff. I mean, I really need two pairs of cowboy boots and tow pairs of other leather dress boots. I wear them all the time.. dont you? (not) I have two leather jackets, I wear one once a month or so. The other Im keeping as a spare for when my first one wears out in the year 3000.

PC: Its much more fun to be camping in the snow, and to have the snow start to come off the branches from high up when you are in a tent.. Its really neat to be woken up by a loud sound, then sound of something slamming into your tent, your tent roof rushing at you until four inches above your face, panic, all your covers come off so you are in the fareezing cold, the roof rebounds, you are wide awake, shivering, and feeling like a fool. Repeat every hour or so. I love winter camping!

 Indeed and to make it worse, St Louis lost its hub status with American Airlines after they bought/merged with the hometown world carrier the famous TWA. St Louis used to have a lot of International connections, now its a pathetic regional airport and the silly thing is when it was a hub we built this airport in the middle of nowhere that nobody uses and we expanded the airport (thinking that the airport would still be important). Its sad, to go to Seattle you either go through Chicago, Denver, or Phoenix. lol

  It's brutal out there....and I getting concerned about family coming on Sunday while we are expecting another foot of snow.

  Sawdust ventured out today, and said the roads are a mess.  Very little ploughing going on....even the inland highway only has one set of tire tracks in one lane.  We don't have a lot of options....so we are heading out tomorrow to stock in food for company and basic staples.

Wow, the flakes started here a little while ago, and now its DUMPING, only supposed to snow another 3 inches, but I think somebody forgot to tell the weather that.
Looks like I will be driving SS to work again. We are now looking for snow blowers.

I had to turn back because he walked over swamp and ice broke under my weight. didn't saw the owl but lots of birds, mainly woodpeckers.

The Owl lives in the neighbour's tree. There's a huge nest at the other neighbour's tree. No birds obviously in our yard with our bobcat and mini-german shepard dog puppy who decides to attack other animals he sees. lol

my cat's a beast. He'd eat killer P.C. for lunch I think. Especially in the winter. lol

When do you think the owl will be around? The open yard area is rather open area that other animals use to cross (coyotes, owls, deer) so if there's a Barn Owl around this would be a place they'd stay.

 Had a great day today.  Heckyl and Jeckyl went blasting down the hill at Burnaby Mountain (ignoring the NO TOBOGANNING signs, but they did wear helmets). Then we went for a stomp around Burnaby Lake off of Winston Ave.
 
 Highly recommend the Cob's bread Mince Tarts.

Good Evening!
What a nice day, although I forgot how archaic and demoralizing suburban driving in traffic is. lol
Had bubble tea at the mall, it was more like sweet tea, might as well call it the southern bubble tea shop. lol
Stopped by my mom's class today, 7 year olds. For some stupid reason the district has decided to go to school til tomorrow. Every other district finished on friday, the teachers are just being a day care service for 2 days as the kids just want to go home, its ridiculous. lol

Apparently its bone chilling cold outside, yet its not that cold for me to put on a coat yet.

LM has a bunch of daredevils on her hands. I haven't taken the kids to toboggan yet. Sounds scary but will give it try soon.

  Oh ja, we went to Toys R Us and asked this fella where we can find toboggan and he gave us a puzzled look. "Er... what is it?" He asked my hubby who tried to explain patiently what a toboggan is. Finally he said, "Can you spell it?" LOL. This other guy beside us started to give him the funniest look on his face.

  OK, it's your funeral, Michel. Don't say I didn't warn you about the mushroom soup. I rather go for their garlic bread and chilli soup. Yumilicious.

There's a combo without the donut. I told you it taste gross. I don't mind their salad tho... it's OK in a hurry.

  Hey, nothing wrong with their garlic bread. I love garlic! Kiss me now! (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif)

Timmy Ho's is good for Double Doubles.. not much good for anything else like edible food. I actually prefer Wendys over Timmy's food.
Lise.. Believe me I wanted one. Seriously wanted one.

PL: I attempted to reply to you last night but my reply errored or something like that and I got angry and gave up. Yeah its loud.. not too bad, and LOTSA fun!

*cheers*
 Beer, anyone?
 
 MrLM and I spent hours (5 hrs?) breaking ice on the roof.  Yesterday's sunshine caused a partial thaw which re-froze in thick blocks in the eavestroughs.  Most of the downspouts were frozen, too.
 What worked: hammer, chisel, blowtorch, buckets of salt, shovels, electric kettle with long extension cord.
 What didn't work: hot pot burner (butane too cold to flow).

 2 foot deep snow drifts piled on top of some of the bus shelters in the east side. lol watched a ton of snow fall off a awning yesterday... the poor bastard underneath it had just finished shoveling his sidewalk. LMAO i know its rude to laugh but all that snow slid off right on to his side walk, that he had probably just spent 1 hr shoveling.. and now the whole damned thing is covered in snow nearly 2 foot deep. oh god i wish i had, had my camera on me... that was funny especially when his face turned red and u could just see him swearing under his breath...

lunch was a oven baked 8 inch pizza sub a package of Hawkins cheesies and a snickers chocolate bar with almonds as desert... washed it down with home made lemonade ( made from scratch the hard way...)

 No church for me last night.  Xmas Eve service cancelled due to weather.  I didn't read the email advisory before I left home..so we drove up the hill to find an empty parking lot full of snow.  lol
 Stayed home, drank a bottle of Baby Duck, finished Indiana Jones DVD game with the family.  Kids went to bed, MrLM and I watched some old episodes of Trailer Park Boys.
 
 I'm steadily attacking a jar of red pepper jelly.

Hey everyone.  Hope it's been a good holiday.  I got everything I wanted for Xmas!  Fiiiirst, I was wanting our little family to hang out with no set schedule (done!) and then I was wanting a grilled cheese sandwich (MrLM rewired the grilled cheese sammitch maker).  

Good times with family and friends last night at mom and dad's.

Went to see Bedtime Stories (new Adam Sandler movie...freakin hilarious) at Tinseltown today, and about to tuck into a bowl of mom's turkey soup.

In between, shovelling snow in the complex, breaking ice on the roof and getting the very full garbage dumpster onto the street for pickup...MrLM had great idea to tow it up the vehicle ramp with the car.

Snow crew hasn't stopped out in the sticks where we live...there's one coming by hour outside our door...but driving into the city of Van, the roads are $hit and there isn't a snowplow in sight.

Heya all. Oh, I hear ya about the lack of snow plow on the road. Not enough of them. We've had so many vehicles spinning out of control down our street that I cringed each time I see them go by. It's amazing they haven't hit any car/pedestrains/houses yet. Why ppl try to drive without snow tires on a road with snow up to your elbows is beyond me.

I agree LIse.. but everyone has this thing that They are the important one and you arent. I had a car and a small van stop facing each other out front of my place and both of them refuse to move.. shutting of their engines and getting out and SCREAMING at each other and HITTING each other. Two women mind you.
I had just come home and thats how I noticed them out front, I grabbed a beer and stood on my front porch and watched, the next door neighbor was wathcing and laughing too.

Theres not enough snow plows cause theres no need most of the time.. although, they should buy the smaller plows you can put on just about any truck for smaller jobs. Most people would complain if they spent taxpayers money on more plows and stuff..

I enjoy going along snowy streets.. although thats what I do for fun when winter camping and such anyhow. I do despise people that try to get around, cant, and when they get stuck just park their cars and walk away. I think they should have their car taken away and impounded. If their car cant make it.. why try and then demand other people to fix it.. mother nature isnt a bubble that we control.

Lil_me  if you need a pea soup recipe for ur left over ham and the ham bone
pls try this one

 [a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Split-Pea-and-Ham-Soup-I/Detail.aspx"]Split Pea and Ham Soup I[/a]

SUBMITTED BY: TEETOE PHOTO BY: MisterGee

"This is a good way to use leftover ham, quite inexpensive, and VERY tasty. I hope that you enjoy it. Some people like to add carrots or other types of vegetables. Don't forget to serve with buttered bread toasted in the oven."

[img style="width: 190px; height: 190px;" src="http://images.allrecipes.com/site/allrecipes/area/community/userphoto/big/27780.jpg"]

 * 1 cup chopped onion
 * 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
 * 1 pound dried split peas
 * 1 pound ham bone
 * salt and pepper to taste


DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium pot, saute onions in oil or bacon grease. Remove from heat and add split peas, ham bone or chopped ham. Add enough water to cover ingredients, and season with salt and pepper.

2. Cover, and cook until there are no peas left, just a green liquid, 2 hours. While it is cooking, check to see if water has evaporated. You may need to add more water as the soup continues to cook.

3. Once the soup is a green liquid remove from heat, and let stand so it will thicken. Once thickened you may need to heat through to serve.

Happy Monday, crazy weekend, tired from it all. We went down to the farm, its warm, around 20. I jogged the 2 mile road by the house, which I believe nobody has ran on since the 70s by looking at everyone's waist line. Grandma had a panic attack and thought she was going to die today. It was rather weird, we think it was due to a picture of her and grandpa from the mid 90s that set her off and photos of us from when we were little (too many memories at once I guess) and this stitch she made from the 70s.

Anyway the river is going on up again, we went to the lock to close the gate, I hit my head on a cement support beam and my cousin backed into a 3ft sink hole. lol

getting ready for school again, excited as usual, feel I'm missing out on friends and the snow.

Happy New Year everyone!  What's everyone doing?  We're home tonight and seeing family tomorrow night.
 
 I'm not so much bored as restless.   We have no shortage of things to do around here...even if it's going for walks, kids playing with their Xmas loot, etc...but I'm starting to yearn for a return to the regular "routine" as crazy as that sounds.
 
 Saw an otter on the ice at Minnekhada park.  Watched the shark feeding (free!) at Big Al's Aquarium store near Lougheed Mall last night.  Every Tues at 7:00.  It's a neat thing- everyone should see it at least once.
 
 In other news, our resident caretaker is back from holidays today, and MrLM and I are ready to hug him.  We did roof duty, garbage duty and snow removal for 9 days, and we've had enough.  Though breaking ice on the roof is  a satisfying feeling, especially when you break off a HUGE chunk at a time.

Happy New 2009 everyone!  I can't wait to start this New Year by celebrating with a couple tomorrow to kick off a (hopefully) better year!

I get bored at work, but rarely when I'm at home.  Some times, I like doing nothing at all and it's very relaxing when I have my candles and aromatherapy machine going.  We've been going for walks a lot more often now that we're carless.   I'm going to start scrapbooking too once I gather my materials.  

I picked up some free calendars today.  Two from my dentist (one for work) and one from the library (City calendar).  My dentist also gave away free lip balm and monthly planner.  :)  Costco gives away a calendar with yummy cut-out recipes.

 it might be possible if one is not a normal drinker, it depends if you were dehydrated the night of your wee little drink and perhaps you had a high sugar content that day from to many sweets so a sugar withdrawal combined with a bit of dehydration could possibly lead to a hangover... either way.. hope you feel better soon.

I agree with orik. if you dont drink that often it could affect you in that way.

We had a secretary in Yantai where we were for awhile getting a vessel built. We took her out to a big dinner one night and we decided to have a round of b52 shots. She had one and within ten minutes she was singing along to commercials on the tv above the bar and within the hour she was dancing on the table. She didnt make it to work the next day cause she had a headache and felt sick. that was the very first alcoholic drink she ever had.

Is everyone still doing good? My brothers now home from whistler. Said some restaurants up there wanted 150 per person to let people in there. not including food or drinks. Thats retarded.

Meat is NOT bad for the liver. Meat protein is essential for a healthy liver as well as for the healing of the liver.  (Red meat in slight moderation).  Total vegetarian and macrobiotic diets are energy depleting for those with liver ailments or Hepatitis C and are not recommended by most holistic professionals.  Six small meals a day, heavy on the colourful veggies, whole grains and moderate amounts of meat.  

As for your mushroom caps, mushrooms are good for liver healing.
 They have glutamic acid which is needed to produce glutathione that help with liver detoxification.  I guess it depends on what you're loading them up with.

 thanks chomp chomp... ur making more sense to me than the damned specialist...i guess i should state the doctor said no bacon cheese burgers which is my ultimate favorite dish when i can afford it, it was a weekly ritual...

the doctor also said no strange mushrooms meaning none i do not know the origin of, or ones i have never tried b4.. so basically i can only stick to basic mushroom like money mushrooms... but their are so many intriguing variates at T&amp;T market that i want to try yet.

 theirs the dried ones that are in the noodle cups i used to eat from nong shim now on my not allowed list cause the salt content in the instant noodles is to damn high.

i also have to go easy on spiced foods, i have been told to stay away from hot and spicy dishes... which upsets me more than a little, cause i love my jalapenos, red chilies, green chilies,  my assorted Tabasco sauce, Louisiana sauce, frank red hot buffalo sauce and wide variety of Cajun dishes oh and do not forget the black pepper...

 as for the stuffed mushroom caps they are stuffed with seafood such as shrimp or muscles, scallops &amp; or oysters... plus a little garlic and some cheese...

now i can eat some things but  i can not eat others . basically it is my raving, cravings that are driving me mad, cause i can not have what my body is craving due to either A. finances or B. cause it has to high a salt content and i have been told to not eat it... or C. it is to spicy. no why the hell can i not eat spicy foods for damned sakes ?

sighs

today's lunch and supper is

2 chicken thighs no skin

6 slices of toast no butter

1 diced onion
2 diced tomato
1/3 rd a cucumber diced
1 celery stick split length wise then diced  

cook the thigh cool then dice and add to diced veggies add 1 table spoon mayonnaise mix make 3 sandwiches

1 &amp; 1/2 for lunch served with a baked or boiled or steamed potato add a bit of sour cream with chives and green onions...

1 &amp; 1/2 for supper served with a fresh spinach salad with Chinese pear and mandarin orange slices, no dressing. for dessert I will be having a sensation chocolate &amp; almond ice cream bar.

that takes care of lunch and supper today.

    I was just reading, that there is something you can ADD to your diet, that will assist in dropping a few pounds.  As that is one of MY New Years resolution, I will be trying it.

  A piece of whole grain bread and olive oil BEFORE your large meal of the day (dinner or lunch...whichever is your 'big' meal) apparently stimulates 'gemlins'.  This is the chemical that triggers the brain to recognise when one has had sufficient food.  Drinking a glass of water does almost the same thing, but not with the efficiency of the whole grain and olive oil.  Go figure.

 sounds good pc, will have to try that drinking a large glass of water before eating a meal trick

speaking of water I got my water delivery from Canada springs but they forgot my water cooler sighs... now i have to wait 2 more weeks for a water cooler to hold the jugs of water...

 pathetic service &amp; for this i pay 30 dollars a month what a crock of crap but with the home delivery it is still cheaper than taking a cab home from superstore and their is no need to man handle 16 liter jugs of water either

Found a really healthy restaurant if you're not into carbs. Delicious. It's called [A href="http://www.clubzone.com/c/Vancouver/Restaurant/Stone_Grill.html"]Stone Grill[/A] and you cook your meat right on hot stones. No butter, no oil, no nothin'. I must say I was skeptical at first but it was awesome. Highly recommend.

Hey everyone!
 
 *dries self off after skiing in blizzard conditions*
 
 Lise-I agree with your Stonegrill recommendation (it's in the Entertainment Book).  The quality is amazing, the hot rock thing is kinda fun....and yeah, it's low-fat too (but I'm not to fussed about that if I'm going out to eat-- we eat pretty healthily at home, so I don't mind a fat slurge if I'm in a restaurant....bring on the butter, sour cream and bacon bits pls)
 
 Bleh- back to the real world tomorrow.  *cries* but I do badly need some office time to untangle my haphazard record keeping before handing it off to the accountant.
 
 But first, I might be taking my grandmother to seniors' day at Zellers.

Apparently I was getting too cocky about having AWD and snow tires.  I got stuck today.
 Apparently I forgot about how a pile of snow affacts ground clearance.  Tried to drive through a residential back alley.
 Damn!  The front end of my car was high-centred and the left wheels were spinning.
 
 I put Heckyl in the driver's seat, told him to stick it in reverse and step on the gas (aka "the long skinny pedal") when I said ok.
 
 Pulled out the tow rope and got some guy in a Matrix (nice, nice people these Toyota owners...) to give me a tow back a few feet.  Got him stuck.  Pushed him back onto the road.
 
 Went home and cancelled meetings for the rest of the evening.
 
 And those Scouting skills came in handy.  I saw a rope and automatically tied a double figure-8.  Miracle of miracles, it actually held.

  Good morning everyone.  Welcome back SD.

  UBC buses were cancelled at one point there...and it used to be 'policy', that if the buses were cancelled, classes were cancelled.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 06 09 09:09
I don't even think they would cancel the school with the buses down, you must have gone to a different UBC. lol
Reading their policy online, they won't close the campus unless its major before 6am, that's a really big snow fall early to stop the buses. And if it snows bad during the day they'll just inform the profs to leave, signaling school is closed, but if that's the case and the buses are down, people are stranded. lol

This came up during finals, a bunch of people were late due to the snow. The profs were like haha can't help you, UBC is still open. Even though the buses died right after finals ended.

They all say that for legal ramifications. Its not that important.

If you use a 4 inch lift kit you will have to get an inspection to legally be able to use it. Most people dont however.
According to Department of Motor Vehicles, if you raise or lower a vehicle 10cm or more, you have to have it inspected.

Im assuming that lift kit you found is a body lift and not a suspension lift?

You have to put the toilet paper in the freezer the night before.

  So....I actually bought a little jar of marmite today.  Curiosity got the better of me.  Then it dawned on me, that it's the same stuff I used to use to 'beef up' gravy and stews.  But I did try it on a piece of bread (as recommended ?).  It was super yummy....but super super super salty.  So, what is the difference between that and Vegimite ?

[/li][li]1/4 cup green pepper
[/li][li]                                     1 stalk celery, chopped[/li][/ul]simple easy and served with lettuce and tomatoes on toasted sourdough

Probably a wise idea - I'll give you some 4X4 lessons next winter if we get another dump of snow.

First lesson - in most cases the tires have to be touching the ground for you to keep moving.

 Hi Lil Me

Michel is just joking i hope... i think he is referring to the game of craps and he rolled also known as shooting the dice...so he shot the dice 3 times in less than 30 min...  

he could of also have gone to one of the local Gun Ranges and literally shot 3 different times in 30 minutes.  seeing that he never did clarify what he shot... so if we are assuming a handgun or rifle of some sort he could of shot off 3 boxes of ammunition in 30 minutes

then again if he went to a hooker he could get the same deal..(http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra3/whistling2.gif).. but that's a whole different game...

Morning,

Well I had a busy weekend, met everyone who has been power, at the cusps of power in what is really a fish bowl if you are in political circles, Victoria. lol  I got Dave Barrett's number somehow, apparently he's really cool to talk to, lol.  A bunch of us were walking back to the legislature from lunch and saw Glen Clark of all people, such a loner.  Deborah Grey the first Reform MP in parliament was the Governor General, she's nice. She lives in QB now, we had a good chat about the snow and that she could barely get out of her house. Carole James and federal MP for Victoria now Deputy Speaker in the House Denise Savoie came in during a caucus meeting (our group apparently was the only one to have caucus meeting, Liberals had booze meetings).  I sat in MLA John Horgan's desk. The desk had to be one of the hundred year old ones, it was too small and couldn't fit under it.  Then when 2 Tories and 1 Liberal defected to us after the passing of this ridiculous Liberal bill I was moved to Corky Evans desk, which I found ironic. lol

Hate the Liberals, they were all frat boys who made sexist (to our women)/racist comments (to our francophone who spoke in french to the House), spouted neo-conservative ideology and really were just plain asses.  So there's our 'future leaders' since the populace likes to vote Liberals. lol They believed 1 Trillion dollars for the auto industry was a good idea... They don't take these weekends seriously and rather just party and it showed. But when your leaders are constantly Presidents of Fraternities, what do you expect. lol

  I'm going to give some unsolicited advice here.    Don't tell anyone your age, don't ask anyone theirs.  Don't tell anyone about your financial situation, don't ask anyone theirs.  

  Stop worrying about what everybody else thinks.  I think you are wasting valuable 'think space' by allowing everybody else's 'stuff' to affect you and worrying far too much about what others think of you. Who cares what they think.  

You're living a goal that you set for yourself a long time ago...revel in that, because for many, it will always be just an unfulfilled dream.  So far, that's a pretty good accomplishment in itself. It would be an even better accomplishment, if you could allow all of yourself to be available for the task at hand, instead of giving bits of yourself away.

Morning everyone.
 
 Bleh.  Too much going on.  Unfinished projects everywhere.  As soon as I get caught up, it starts all over again.
 
 Just coffee so far.  I should eat.

Buy some granola bars for your desk or your coat pocket.
 You should eat SOMETHING in the morning.
 
 Or teach the cat to make you and sandwich.

YES.  You haven't eaten since before bed, so it's important to eat every morning.  You don't want your blood sugar level to drop too low.  You want to eat small meals at regular intervals BEFORE your body gets too hungry.
 
 If you feel too hungry, you will over-eat.

Having breakfast in the morning will kick your metabolism into gear.  It will likely not change your appetite at lunch, but it will change how your lunch is digested.

I don't like wasting food either.  But that's not a reason to over-eat.
 I'd rather eat a smaller lunch followed by an afternoon snack (lunch leftovers?)
 If I'm at a restauarant, I eat as much as I want, then take the rest home.
 At the mall, I get the meal in a take-out box (styrofoam with lid) so I can take the leftovers with me.

Hi , I'm Amber.  What's your name?  (I have to mute my speakers now because one time, the smilies said "Hello.")

  Michel, even a glass of milk for breakfast will help.  It has a good balance of protien, carbs and fat.  Then, when you get to work, you can have a snack like a granola bar or instant oatmeal or bag of veggies.

  If I bring a sandwich to work for lunch, I eat half and eat the other half 2.5 hours later.

When you deprive your body of food in the morning, after having not fed it since dinner the night before, the body goes into protection mode, to ward off what it interprets as potential starvation.  So the metabolism slows down to conserve what energy it has.  When this happens, EVERYTHING is working slower.  Our digestive system, our brains....etc.  (YOU, Michel, might be a little scary if your brain was working at full tilt)  

Studies have proved time and time again, that children who eat breakfast do better in school.

 no more of a personal discussion on views. So for example if we have another pro-Alberta f*ck Quebec girl/guy like my last class, I can't call her out for being an idiot and that her ideas are completely baseless and ridiculous, or I'd violate the contract.  Nobody's going to talk in these for about a month anyway, judging by last class it'll be myself and the TA again having a conversation amongst 10 people.

The best someone came up with to respond to this girl was "settle down cow girl" but nobody really went after her except me.  She had that idea that BC and Alberta could form their own country.

 It was pretty much like SD's photos- bright sun, unlimited visability with the city lost in the clouds and fog (except for the top of Burnaby, which was sticking out of the clouds like an island).

 Early CNY dinner was good.  Funny thing, the parkade doors at Metrotown were locked by 8pm.  So once you were in the parking lot, you couldn't re-enter the mall.  lol  It was like a scene from a comedy movie...my dad was wandering around lost on P2 (he parked on P1) with two old ladies...mom was waiting on P1, my sister took Heckyl and Jeckyl back to the restaurant to go to the bathroom....anytime you wanted to enter a door, you needed to wait for someone to Exit, so they could open the door for you.  It was freaking hilarious.
 
 After about 40 minutes, I could finally get in my car and go home :)

i myself had the chicken salad sandwich with all the veggies

Oh yes, I will post pictures of the CNY food up for sure.

  So far on the menu: (and this might be a tad ambitious for yours truly)

  1) steamed fish with ginger, garlic and soy sauce

2) BBQ duck (store bought)

3) curry chicken in Malaysian sauce

4) vegetarian egg noodles with mushrooms, buck-choy and tofu

5) soya sauce chicken (store bought)

6) stir-fry vegetarian dish

7) crab claws - requested by Lise Jr. though I'm not sure how it's gonna turn out

8) fruit dessert

  Well.... that's what I plan to do so far.

So true Lise pizza is disgusting I rarely eat it.  Only when forced at a social occasion then I ask to order one pizza that is either vegie or possiblity chicken with feta cheese as it's not as greasy.

I love take-out pizza.  I rarely eat it anymore, so it's a major treat for me.  A couple of the mom and pop pizza shops make Butter Chicken Pizza....that stuff is deadly good!  I also have a fondness for Dominos- beef n hot banana pepper, which I ate during my student days.
 
 Sometimes we use the supermarket crusts or pita breads to make mini pizzas at home...good way to use up leftovers.  Once in a while,  I do make a real crust (thanks, P.C. for the inspiration).
 
 P.C....smoked duck...tell me more!  Sounds good.
 
 I dreamed about eating fresh pineapple last night.  Maybe I'm slightly vitamin C deficient?

  Well Lil Me, I cheat with the smoked duck.  I just used leftover duck sauteed up with a little liquid smoke. (not that we have duck that often.....but when we do, a duck pizza is definitely in order)  Add it to sauteed mushrooms and garlic.  Instead of tomato sauce, I just brush the dough with a little chili oil (or whatever flavoured oil you like).  Top the pizza with mixture....Toss some thinly sliced green pepper on it.  You don't need cheese, but sometimes a light sprinkle is good, just to hold it all together.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

The only duck that I like (that I've cooked myself, that is) is a really old Julia Child recipe.  It's a 30-30-30 method, that ends up being totally non-greasy.  I'll see if I can find it on-line.  It's 30 minutes in the oven, 30 minutes on top of the stove and the final 30 minutes back in the oven.  There are a bunch of little details on when to cover and uncovered etc.

I made a duck once purchased from Stupidstore in frozen section.  It turned out good.  It wasn't too greasy at all but I can't remember what I did as it was several years ago.

I don't really care for Toberone. I had them melted once in fondue.... NEVER again. There's something to be said about bits floating about in a fondue (nuts, I supposed) that isn't very attractive. I prefer Feraro Roche. That's my weakness.

  Ate at Banana Leaf on Broadway this afternoon. Good food and the lunch special is really nice on your wallet. I also discovered they offer a seven course dinner (SEVEN!!!!) for two for $25/pp. Might do this on the week leading up to V-Day.

Oh no, Orik... I never got that avatar before but it's a nice touch.

  OK, just completed CNY dinner and had a blast. Everything turned up OK though I had to change my plans a little (couldn't get crab claws and BBQ duck) but delicious nevertheless.

He does? lol Glad I'm not alone. I always knock bags or groceries against my leg which leads to bags braking.

Mmm Chinese food. I doubt I'll get some tonight (something of substance not the non-cafeteria style where the girls look at you like your pet just died and they want to console you smile lol), being suck in the Canadian version of Gitmo, I'm trapped a bit over here.

Morning all!
 
 Had a lot of fun with good friends last night.  They cooked Persian rice (with the crispy tadiq crust), cranberry maple chicken and I supplied 2 frozen containers of Lo hon jai (vegetarian Monk's Feast) made by my aunts.  Had fried neen goh for dessert.  Had a great time comparing foods and New Years traditions from around the world- our families came from China, Iran, Germany, England and St Lucia.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jan 26 09 07:54
Good morning Miss Lil

    I don't know what most of those delectables are, but they sure sound interesting.  Can you describe what a tadig crust is....and also neen goh ?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jan 26 09 08:03
Tadiq is a crunchy crust on rice.  I really think you and Sawdust would love it.
 [a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/Persian-Rice-124898"]http://www.recipezaar.com/Persian-Rice-124898[/a]
 
 The neen goh is a thick (brown sugar and rice flour) solid pudding that is sliced and fried.  It's a bit difficult to describe because the consistency is unlike anything else.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jan 26 09 08:08
That sounds really good.  We will definitely try it.  Amazing the billions of ways to do rice.

  The consistency of your pudding sounds almost like polenta.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jan 26 09 08:40
Exactly, P.C.  That's it!  Polenta but without the "bits" because it is made with rice flour, not rice.

Funny how everything is relative.  It's a really ordinary dish in my family.
 
 Cook rice until partially done-
 Add browned chicken pieces, sliced steamed Chinese sausage, some reconstituted dried mushrooms,  ginger, garlic, a bunch of soy sauce, some sugar, some booze, some salt.
 
 I wanted to add water chesnuts, but I left them in the fridge and forgot about them...

When I was a wee peanut, I used to eat lap cheong and hated it. Now that I can't (on account of it being a piggy), I kinda miss the taste. So good with just plain rice.

  Just sat through 7 bloody hours of the most boring lectures imaginable. Oral cancer. Yes, yes, the pictures were amazing but I could without the bloody statistic and made-up names. I tell you, research people are just about the most boring folks on earth. Can you imagine if you were ever at the table with them how boring their conversations would be? "Say have you seen this data on p978? There was a spike in the ribosome that just threw me off!" YAWN.

I was going to order the chicken one day but found out that sides are an extra $3!!  My colleague who went there for her first time for lunch spent 18 bucks!!  I totally mis-calculated the costs for food at UF.

Today, I was absolutely convinced that it was Tuesday.  I took my time to submit things because I was thinking "Hey, it's not due until Wed noon."  I'M LOSING MY FREAKING MIND!!!  I still can't remember what I did to account for the extra day because I only remember yesterday and today!

I don't know if that's what it's really called....it's just what Sawdust and I call it.

  Cook diced bacon....drain off fat....and a small handful of shredded cabbage and saute for a minute or two....add cooked rice.  Mix in a goodly portion of China Lily soy sauce....(has to be China Lily) toss until rice is coated.  Scrummy !  (Sawdust's fave)

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jan 29 09 08:35
I don't dislike it....it's just way down on the list.   In the meat catagory, it would be last on the list.  I guess this might belong in the quirky thread, because I like bacon, and I like pea soup with ham and I don't even mind a ham sandwich....but just straight ham just doesn't do it for me.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jan 29 09 08:42
I haven't had ham in years but it's never been my favorite choice of meat. I find it.... a tad too salty. My very first exposure to just plain ham was at camp ground and all they could give us were thick slices of ham with a piece of canned pineapple on top. I haven't looked at ham the same way ever since. Ugh.

  My brain is killing me. I HATE having to think about what to cook. Argh!! I can't wait for the day when they invent those fancy Replicators like they have in Star Trek. Then I can ask for lobsters 10 times in one week.

Good morning everyone!

  Guess what?  I'm so excited.  I finally got my 3-year umbrella!!!!  I've been looking forward to this ever since I started.

  My boss freaked me out by scheduling a one hour spur-of-the-moment meeting with me.  I thought I was either a) in big sh*t or b) getting laid off.

  Boy oh boy did I feel a surge of relief when I didn't get the b) reply.

  And funny thing was that I dreamt about the meeting last night and in my dream, it told me not to worry.  I woke up feeling much better.

if you say it flat - it is "eat my penis"

 Tongith's project is choking down a [span style="text-decoration: underline;"]half glass [/span]of vermouth.  Operation Empty Dusty Bottles is continuing as Scouts have a bottle drive tomorrow.  I normally drink REALLY dry martinis...and I'm out of olives, so this vermouth project is going slowly.  I started at 4:30 this afternoon and it's still in progress. *bleh*

Congrats on the sudoku - it just take a lot of patience - you are smart enuf - cute enuf and dog gone it people like you.

good luck with the project - some people might just throw it out - or wait till the rest of the fixin's are there.

had a shot last night called mexican cocaine.

lemon wedge one side coateed in coarse coffee the other side in brown sugar.  Take a vodka shot and then chew the coated lemon.  a hell of a lot tastier than it sounds.

I know, P.C.!  I had no signs of infestation until last night, when this bogus popup virus warning came up- looked like it was from Windows and it advised me to download a pay utility to remove win32.zafi.b, which I didn't have.
 
 It wasn't the chili dog, SD!  Heckyl and Jeckyl have head colds- not bad ones- would be managable for an adult to continue going to work, but kids have difficulty controlling their coughs/sneezes (gross!  I know...).
 
 I'm just tired because I was up too late with the frickin computer.

 I'm wondering if I got it from a malicious script embedded in someone's blog.
 There's a guy we know named T who has been blogging about his personal problems.  I've been reading his blog out of interest, not out of spite or to poke fun at him...but most of the people here in the Melrose Place 'hood read his blog for the two latter reasons.  He recently changed from blogspot to livejournal and he would have the motive and wherewithall to infect the neighbourhood naysayers and his ex-wife's posse with something.

I badly need to go to the StupidStore.  I've been out of laundry detergent for days...so I did no laundry.  We're now reaching the critical point.
 
 Besides that, packing for camping (near Harrison Mills this weekend), training for the BC TKD championships (end of Feb), applying for jobs and running the office here.
 
 But while doing the laundry project over lunch, I can watch more CSI!  A friend lent me Season 1.

haha. Well I do get a free dinner on thursday nights at the office. Oh so excited today! I get my 12 page midterm paper instructions. lol The prof is nuts and people in that class are going to fail. Really thats why I'm doing this not buying anything, cuz it takes too much time away. I've got 2 midterms next week, a 12p midterm due next thursday, a weather project that requires a lot of taking weather samples 4hrs a day next week, an essay due thursday and I'm in charge of an issue which is on friday. So I'm pretty busy to say the least.  

Its funny though everything is easy except this coordinating job I have at the moment. That's the only thing that stresses me out. lol I'm immune to school stresss.

That's one thing I've learned/realized and its the reason why I think I do better in school then the 17,18, 19 and 20 year old kids. They still freak out about papers and such. I've been around longer in life, but I knew if I was there age and doing this I'd be freaking out too. I believe they call it maturity, but I don't know for certain. lol

Leaving after school today, so I'll be out there early as possible to set up.
 
 *should* be a fun weekend, once we get past the Friday evening traffic and arrive at our destination.
 
 Group camping is a alot of fun, Lise.  There is something "magical" about each camp- the people, the atmosphere, the time and place- that can never be re-created.

    Even though my camping days are done, I have to agree with this.  There isn't any other kind of activity that creates the same sense of comradeship that group camping does.  I remember some of those days fondly.   And every once in a while, I have a slight yearning to do it again....but I know that if I'm very still, I come to my senses, and it passes quietly.

Have fun camping, Lil Me!  I miss waking up early in the morning to hang around the campfire making breakfast. :)  

  Are you picking up condoms like last time?

  My good friend from the Bahamas is visiting Vancouver for a week and I have one day to spend time with her tomorrow.   I'm so excited to see her again.

  Have a great weekend everyone!

 lunch today was a bunch of this and that from save on meats. mostly my shopping list for basics

6 smokies
1  lrg beef pie
 2 sausage rolls
 12  hot wings
 1 honey bbq chicken leg  
 1 honey bbq thigh
 1  oven roasted chicken not sure what the seasoning is but its better than the hny bbq 24 chicken nuggets.
 2 bowls of chili  
 1 small rice
 
 that's it for the hot foods

for those of you thinking i ate it all for lunch NO lol.  i only few bites and or tastes of the items b4 refrigeration... seeing that I had to do some shopping and the nice thing about save on meats is the hot food section. it lets one pick up some good yet surprisingly inexpensive cooked deli items, this makes for some fast lunches, with no serious cooking involved. just reheat in the microwave.. perfect for those that are feeling lazy this weekend.. :D
 

and a tall ice cold cherry coke to wash it down.. =D nothing diet or healthy about this artery closer of a lunch with plenty of left overs for the rest of the weekend.

evening.

Weird night last night. I left my book bag at the village mcdonalds at 3am (closing time) and then picked it up at 6am when I was walking home.  My computer was in there...

Some fool blew up an explosive in the trees between main and koerners library.  I was staring at the refection pool so I was only a couple metres away. idiots.

walked up and down wreck beach today, beautiful. Spotted eagles floating at tree level, so really close, didn't get out my camera in time.

tried to make fried noodles and failed tonight.

2 eggs medium to extra large in size
100 grams left over chicken
1 small onion
1 packet of mr noodles with seasoning pouch flavour (Currey chicken is really good)

 in a bowl take the flavour pouch and mix that with the 2 eggs scrambled or whisked to mix the flavour pouch in well set aside the eggs and seasoning

now dice the onion and the chicken
fry together untill the onion starts to caramalize

Yes SD....they're quite beautiful.   There use to be a guy that the golf course used to hire to shoo the geese off the fairways, and to discourage nesting.  The tool was the Peregrine.  He'd sit on the patio while the bird did his job, and when he was done, would fly back and sit on the guys shoulder while he had lunch.  Of course the Peregrine is much smaller than the Peale....but a beautiful and smart bird.

  We also watched a wild Peregrine circle a patiently a million times over the pond, just waiting for one of the unfortunate coy to surface and present himself as dinner.

Morning everyone!  Had a great weekend out camping.  Didn't rain, didn't snow, had lots of food (and extra TP), didn't lose any kids, no major mishaps or injuries.
 
 Discovered the trick where you stuff wet boots with wadded up newspaper ACTUALLY WORKS.  Stuff the boot and leave it in a warm place.  After about an hour, you get wet newspaper and dry boots!  For severely wet boots, you need to repeat the process a few times with fresh newspaper.

this was a most excellent and filling lunch. the place is wonderful, one of the strangest places to de-stress. You could be eating lunch next to a police officer or one of the local crack dealers. You just never know what your going to find here, but i can assure you the burgers are marvelous.

while I was enjoying my very Un-healthy and ever so tasty lunch. the gentleman &amp; the lady making and serving the lunch were 2 very friendly Asians (Chinese ? maybe) their English was excellent, just like the food.

The Buffalo Bacon Cheese Burger


A Classic lunch at the Coffee Shop in the back of Save On Meats at 43 W Hastings St. sighs I'm gonna miss this place when they close down on March 14 th

today I had the buffalo bacon cheese burger @ 9.50 it may seem expensive but honestly that's a really good deal. 2 buffalo patties 2 strips of bacon a bed of lettuce, 2 tomatoes a lot of onions some mayo and cheese.

Now if you don't want to spend as much for the buffalo Burger like I did. You can get the Bacon Cheese Burger for only 6 dollars please note all burgers are Double Patties and quiet large so bring a appetite. or a doggy bag for the left overs.

This place has some of the most scrumptious, good eats I have been at in years. It has huge portions and a great burger. Once you eat here your full for the rest of the day.

I think a lot of people think that they are vegetarians simply by omitting meat from their diets.  It takes much more than that.  You have to make changes in your diet that will compensate for the loss of elements and nutrition that meat provides.

Aren't there different types of vegetarians?  There are some that will eat seafood and some are vegans who don't eat any seafood, meat, eggs, etc.

  Hey P.C. - Is that diet thing working for you?  The having a teaspoon of olive oil and toasted bread during a large meal?

Not so much purelife.  Not that it doesn't work....but that I'm having a hard time implementing it into my diet.  I try not to have bread around too much.

    You should have mixed it up a little....you know....for variety.

Like maybe you could have had some yellow peppers with some salsa and a salad under your omelet.

I'm running out of groceries too, Michel.  I noticed that since we don't have a car, we spend less.  I usually go grocery shopping 2-3 times a week at over 3 places but now, it's once a week at one place.

  There's always something that I need at say Costco that I can't get in Stupidstore.  And I prefer the local farm market for fresh veggies and fruit than going to Stupidstore.  It's difficult to get to all of these places without a car.

Going to explore the spacial aspects of the downtown core, and hopefully the Kerry Park area too if i have time, go up on the tallest building observation deck (or another building).  Go to the library there. It's just for fun the rest of the trip. Oh got to read a book while I'm at it.

I think I'm actually going to see the sun too, which would be a first for while visiting the Seattle area.

 add: indeed, but this is not how the group thinks...

Well just like in any group there's the talkative, passive people.

The ones that talk want a nice guy, yet bitch about there not being nice guys, while overlooking 'nice guys' and going for obvious 'guys who will tear you into pieces and then me as a friend will have to endure months of 'why is he such an ass!' etc.

mind you these are the type of girls who give me the 'oh your so nice' and 'we want you in the end.' type lines.

then the shy ones, never really talk so you don't know what is going through their heads.

so i can probably tell you who's going to this party is mainly group a people, the group b people probably won't show to this one.

Hai everyone.  Hope it was a good weekend.  Nice day out there today.
 I spent a lot of the weekend sleeping.  Last week was a bit crazy, and  felt like I needed some catchup.  So a nap on Sat and a nap on Sun.
 
 Went out to a community fundraiser last night.  It was...weird.  There were quite a few people who came "unhinged" after a few drinks...and not necessarily in a good way.  
 
 I'm still applying for jobs.

 Looks like another great day.  Coffee was good this morning.  MrLM, the scientist, is starting a daily "coffee log book" in an attempt to figure out what the magical formula is.  When I make coffee, there are some days when it is magically good.  Of course, I don't measure anything, so I have no friggin clue how to replicate that.  It's magic!

And I did the same routine with another friend the day before, about being old.

I was going to go to Metrotown yesterday, instead I got on the wrong skytrain line and ended up at Brentwood. lol

Maybe next week I should go to Lougheed and experience that mall.

Well if Metrotown is an oasis, I'll take the desert. I hate that place, I feel like I'm in a corn maze there. The whole point of going to Metrotown is to figure out somehow to get passed the stage of just walking in a circle which I tend to do there. Plus I always go to Metrotown to go to Crystal Mall, yet I'm unable to find the 'exit' of the Metrotown prison.

And the mall maps are even more confusing.

Last time I was there I discovered the food court and Superstore, but then I got disoriented and had a hard time getting out of the lower level.

I prefer the smaller places. Less crowded and more humane looking. Brentwood is bright due to the canopy roof, its not dark prison and their skytrain station has wood trusses, very classy.

there was another 'police incident' at Surrey Central when I was riding the trains.
Only station I haven't been to is King George.

Oh sweet I'll be amongst my furry little friends then singling Kumbaya at Burnaby Lake Regional Park. Coquitlam is next on the explore list.

It is indeed nice to be tall, sometimes.

Oh and as a follow up to skytrain 'can he stand' in the car. The answer is yes/no.  If I stand my head hits the top, but its like a snug fit (i tilt my head forward anyway). So if you want to know how tall I am. lol There's your guide. hahaha ;)

nope never been on west coast purelife, they only go west at night, which would get myself stranded and the people I know in the tri-cities aren't living there at the moment.

 The most leg room I've ever had is on Air Canada Airbus flights.  

Those tiny commuter type planes that are now the planes I take to get back to St Louis these days, I don't have any space regardless. People switch their exit seat with me on those.

nothing really bothers me as long as my knees aren't up against the seat which happens on certain american carriers. That's annoying, plus I tend to like window seats. I had a 5hr flight in the middle seat once, torture.


I really don't come off tall, unless you meet me and I'm sitting down at a table, a girl (most of the time says this) sits down, talk for about 20mins or so then I stand up and whomever I'm talking to usually goes "wow, I didn't realize you were that tall lol".

*sigh* story of my life. lol

Hey, speaking of Metrotown..... did anyone get caught in the 'terrorist' attack on Saturday? My friends were visiting Metropolis when they started sneezing and feeling lightheaded. A whole bunch of people felt the same and security swarmed the place, yelling for everyone to get out. Apparently some idiot thought it would be fun to spray pepper spray into the vent. What a moron.

 lol. just delete the excess bagage Michel.

Well I made up my mind, I decided to go skiing. I thought about not going and reading Hunter S. Thompson's coke fest of hilarity on America, as those 'crazy bats' at noon. lol
--------
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive..." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"

Then it was quiet again. My attorney had taken his shirt off and was pouring beer on his chest, to facilitate the tanning process. "What the hell are you yelling about?" he muttered, staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with wraparound Spanish sunglasses. "Never mind," I said. "It's your turn to drive." I hit the brakes and aimed the Great Red Shark toward the shoulder of the highway. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.
------------
craziest opening two paragraphs I've ever read in a book. Its really hard to decide, ski or keep reading this masterpiece?

WTF taekwondo in a couple of weeks.  Spectators are allowed, but due to the layout of the place, you really can't see much from the stands.  There is too much going on the room at once.
 
 Due to lack of training time, I'm planning to compete in forms only.  I'd like to fight again one day, but I have a lot of work to do in terms of strategy, technique and conditioning.

  no lunch today.

supper is a cheap bachelor meal what you will need

1 pack Mr. noodles, vegetable flavor  pre crush the noodles. for mixing in to the vegetables sauce
1 cup of corn caned, frozen or fresh (i am using frozen)
1 small diced onion
1 cup of pre cooked diced chicken breast.  ( i am using presidents choice variety)
2 table spoons Soya sauce (kikomans)
2 table spoons of  Louisianan hot sauce. 2 for hot 1 for medium 1/2 for mild or 0 if u don't like it spicy.
1 cup water.
1 frying pan  

Add all ingredients except noodles to the frying pan, simmer on medium low heat, until the chicken is no longer frozen and the onion is semi translucent (see through)  Mix the noodles in and coated well in the vegetable sauce mix. Stir until water is evaporated and noodles are soft or done to your desired consistency. I like my noodles semi soft. cause by the time it cools enough to eat they just perfect.

Enjoy this cheapish meal.  total cost for this dish is less than 2 dollars. it will make1 meal for 1 very hungry person or 2 meals for a semi hungry persons

Great Clips is always good for cheap hair cuts but I must admit they don't do good haircuts. I hate going to them unless I really have to.

    That's such a strange thing for your hairdresser to have said, SD.  That would be a lovely compliment for someone in their 40's.  But to someone who's barely out of their teens, I think it would be more complimentary to say....This makes you look so mature....or wise....or worldly....or sexy....or something of that nature.  20 year olds generally, are not looking for a look that puts them back in their teens.

enjoy the freedom. :)

I'm a 'resident' of Canada (according to the government), I deal with Canadian Immigration (nice people really, they randomly call me on secret phone lines from undisclosed locations and I send stuff to them to p.o boxes in the middle of nowhere Alberta like I'm some secret agent on a mission) . I'm here on a permit as I stay longer than 6 months.
visas- 6 months and for people who are just 'visiting' me I got bigger plans

Student permits are like Temporary Workers I'm here for an alloted time, then I get it renewed and I stay longer, then after school you apply for PM and then I wait for 2 years after that I get a different passport and then a couple months or so after that I take an oath to a silly queen that you will never have to do, pathetic really, 'god save the queen but please not the king, I find him appalling' i think I'll say that as a joke, and I become Canadian and get my picture taken and the world comes to an end.

Anyway that's how the gig works, if my memory serves me well at 10am. lol

chilli for dinner.  I really like coming home to have dinner ready, though I end up getting up a wee bit earlier to prepare the ingredients for slow cooking but it's all worth it. :)

Lil Me - Was it onion soup mix that you added with the coke and roast beef?  I'm going to finally try it.

I read somewhere that someone threw a can of coke, cup of cat sup, onion and chicken for the crock pot and it turned out excellent.  I'm gonna try it.

London and Lambeth.....my two favourite places in Ontario.

  Kamloops is dry and sagey and brown dead grassy, and tumbleweedy.  Not my favourite place as far as scenery.  The closer you get to the coast, the more lush the landscape.  (of course we pay for that by sprouting webbed feet before we reach puberty)  But it is beautiful....of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Well its a running joke amongst friends who laugh at people who love the fact that they live in a 'french' neighbourhood. They take so much pride in their The Potato Estates sprawl housing development, its comedy 24/7.

What's that corn thingy? We're a french city? Butchering of names. Soulard (sue-lard) is were all the bars are located in the city. Laclede (la-clead), Chouteau (Show-toe), Spoede (Spade -ee), Carondelet (Crawn -del-let), Bellefontaine Neighbors (bell fountain), Gravois (Grav-oye), Meramec (Mer-a-mac), St. Francios (St. Frances) etc.

Morning everyone!

  I'm going to try Miss P.C.'s way of cooking rice.  It sounds interesting and easy enough to duplicate.  

  Oh, and I've got the coke roast on the slow cooker for tonight.  I hope I got the correct onion soup mix.  It took me a while to find it.  I didn't realize there were so many packets of mixes for everything!  

  I can't wait to try it. :)  And I hope 12 hours of low cooking time will be enough for my roast.  Does anyone know if that's a sufficient amount of time?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 26 09 08:51
12 hours is ample time purelife.

  Do you sear your meat before you put it in the crockpot ?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 26 09 08:55
I know I was supposed to sear that roast but I didn't have time this morning.  I woke up a little too late and I didn't want to miss the bus, otherwise I would've.

  I hope it'll still turn out ok.  Do you think so, P.C?  

  All I could do was wash the roast, pat dry and put it in the slow cooker.  I wish I woke up earlier.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Feb 26 09 09:05
 Searing meat before going into the crockpot does make a huge difference.....but it will still turn out just fine without it.  Searing it helps it maintain its texture and adds great flavour.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Feb 26 09 09:20

I'll let you all know how my coke roast turned out.  I can imagine that the coke marinates the beef really well.  And I'm cooking in our new slow cooker so we'll see how that goes too.  My next project will be a whole chicken!!!  :D

  The only thing that scared me was the aspartame in the coke and the MSG in the onion soup mix.  I'm a bit of a health nut so I'm hoping these two won't affect me too much.

 Diet coke was all they had left at the dollar store so I used it. But regular coke still has aspartame too, right?

  I hope it's ok as I never drink coke or have aspartame.  I don't even chew gum because of it.

Well, aspartame should go thru the system fairly quickly. I hate diet Coke but it's a great alternative when you're diabetic like my hubby. Let us know how the slow cook meal went, purelife. Like PC, I'm just dying to know.

  I woke up early this morning and made the kids a Mickey Mouse pancake. Can't say it looked remotely like the rodent but at least the kids were estatic. Viva la maple syrup - that's all I can say.

*burp* The coke roast turned out EXCELLENT!!!  It smelled so good when I walked in.  I don't even taste the coke.  The meat was so tender.
It'll definitely make it again, but this time, searing the roast and using coke rather than the diet crap.

Ah see you drove through the Missouri everyone likes. Never leave the I-70 corridor, you'll need a passport because its bat country. lol

If Missouri just consisted of everything between St. Louis and Kansas City on the banks of the Missouri and the Hannibal down to Ste. Genieve on the Mississippi, it'd be an awesome state, but instead you've got these backwater types living in the rest of the state who are diametrically opposed to the idyllic Missouri and still think the Civil War is going on.

Lots of reasons, but I say that about everything. I always have this 'its not going to work' attitude and then I work to make it a reality. Anyway I'm focused on other things at the present time.

Good boy. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g018.gif" border=0]

    Seriously though....we do have a tendency to not listen to ourselves as much as we should.  I think that may be one of the reasons we hear...."I knew right from the beginning this wasn't going to work"  

Unfortunately, we don't hear it, until after a lot of time and heart has been invested.

  Which isn't to say I have anything against throwing caution to the wind.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 01 09 07:39
I see life as 75% caution to the wind and a 25% Wait a minute, I've seen this play before.

I've seen too many people with the statistics reversed and there life becomes a bunch of what ifs and second thoughts and why didn't I do this at age 40-50.

I can't tell you how many of those types were freaked out at the move I made, everything has to be planned out years in advanced lol. Heck I've got a friend who moved only a county over and people were like "omg scary, so far, I could never do that."' (basically moving from Abbotsford to Langley) lol same scenery different smell.

Too true, PC. I've been guilty of listening to my heart when my brain tells me otherwise. It's so hard to fight the heart.... feelings involve despite knowing it's not for the best. Argh, if I could go back in time and reverse what I did.... *sigh*

  Then again, if I hadn't thrown caution to the wind, I would never have met my one and true love. Fate is funny that way.

Evening everyone!
 
 I miss you guys.  Really and truly.  But work is busy and I don't have a closed office, so no DS during the day for me :(
 
 I've been bringing lunch to work and eating at my desk.
 Today-
 humous and carrot sticks, wrap with leftover pork roast, orange, water.
 
 Dinner was Rotten Ronnie's, as Heckyl and Jeckyl both played bball and there wasn't an opportunity to eat until 7:30.  Cheeseburger, side salad and a vodka tonic.

 I'm SO tired at the end of work these days.
 Went to see my chiropractor this evening.  My spine is totally compressed after after sitting in an office chair for a week.  Meanwhile...work called.  The boss and the operations manager were locked in the warehouse, couldn't get into the showroom or the office...wanted me to come back and let them out.  Fortunately, they then realized they had a set of keys in the truck.
 Otherwise, my days are long.  My work is totally varied.  Interesting indeed.

Michel, if you eat a good meal and you're STILL hungry, your body might actually be (a) tired or (b) thirsty, or (c) tired + thirsty.
 Instead of eating more, you might need to drink something and sleep.

 The interesting part is that my job is a new position, so I'm basically making it up as I go along.
 Sure, there are daily tasks that need doing (ordering product, invoicing clients, following up on NSF account payments) but the rest of the time I'm solving problems before they occur.  If that's possible.  The office is a new HQ, which wasn't operational before this week.  So now I'm the new communications conduit between the techs, the warehouse, the sales reps, the boss, the suppliers and everyone else.

 Morning.

Interesting night last night, met up with a friend and went to a restaurant on Commercial, she's into couch surfing so she had two couch surfers with her, all from Germany. But on the bus to Commercial I ran into a Hungarian and learned what my minority's nickname is over there and that its also derogatory in Germany (well I knew it would, nobody has to explain that to me).

I was with Germans all night and we met up with more Germans to go to this club (never been to a club before and I don't know what kind of drinks one gets, apparently just vodka shots or whiskey, don't exist..) I thought the club was stupid, so I went home, then looking for a bus I ran into more Germans.  Bus was taking forever and I ran into another friend and took a taxi home. lol Vancouver. The city acts like a small town sometimes.

OMG.  I'm frazzled.  I worked through lunch and 15 minutes past quitting time because the day just wouldn't stop.
 
 I ate a wrap and some potato salad while working at my desk.
 
 Hot pot for dinner.  Sukiyaki beef and veg, rice.

Had a nice night out with a friend who's moving to Winnipeg.

Friends are starting to notice what its like to be me, a friend and I were walking around a building today and 3 girls kept looking up at me as I walked by, the friend noticed this and was like "SD you know that asian girl is staring at you."  "I know" I said "This happens all the time."  "wow, that's so weird" he said. "Welcome to my world."

Yeah, I'm not sure why SD makes such a big deal about age.
 Most parties I went to in uni had anyone from 17+.  There was always a good mix of ages there.
 Heck, when I was an undergrad, my faculty had people of various ages.  The oldest classmate I had was 40-something- and noone made an issue about age.

 Sorry, that probably sounded a bit harsh.
 What I'm trying to say to you...SD (as the younger brother I never had), is that you will have more confidance as a person if you don't compare your age to that of your classmates.  Let it go.  
 It really doesn't matter if you're older or younger.
   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 15 09 12:43
  lol I know, I didn't start this or want the labels. Its not a big deal to me its how other people call themselves. For example I've got a friend who's 20, and considers my age to 25 to be "a completely different culture and mindset of something she can't relate to" (I think she gets this from the 5 people she knows to be in this range and we all have a more older outlook 'drinking house parties vs. dinner parties) We're 'mysterious' to these people. They wonder why we're still in school etc and don't really like having conversation with us because we talk about different things. The disconnect is there.

I was put in an 'age group' the instant I came here as I became one of the oldest. When I have conversations with my  'age group' its about post-university, family squabbles, moving, engagements etc.  The 18-20ish crowd has a completely different mindset. My night of fun is different from the 18-20 crowd. Drinking house parties vs. Dinner parties. etc

its just the way it is apparently. *shrugs*

aw thanks Lil Me, your the big sister I never had too. :)

Welcome home, Russ!  Glad to see you're back.  Time sure does fly by. :)

  Good morning everyone.

  Sorry, I've been mia these days.  I've been feeling really sick, was off on Monday but back to work on Tuesday but my cold isn't getting better.  I'm so tired and out of it.  

  Our company has finally started laying people off.  We are all very sad and I am so very worried about my job.  Every department is laying people off.  They have to.  Usually, the first one hired is the first one to go no matter the senority.  If I do get the lay off notice, I hope that that I am able to find work immediately.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)

 Hope you feel better soon, purelife.  Hopefully your job will be ok because of your years with the company.  Even if your persent position "diasppeared", they could shuffle you to another dept?  I know the workplace morale really sucks during layoff season.  I feel for you right now.
 
 Welcome home Russ!  Did you get your haircut and your coffee milk?

I went to this Japanese Bistro place on Robson, a place called Guu or something, it was loud, I think the waiters yell random Japanese on purpose. And I swear the British director was drunk during the q&amp;a at least the person I was with thought so, I thought it was just another case of 'being british'.

  Thanks everyone for the well wishes.  I don't think they'll move me around because it doesn't matter how long you have been with the company or whether or not you're in management.  I already have a feeling that I'll be gone next month and it's just a matter of time.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)   This time around, I want to find work closer to home.

  Think positively.  Remember, that it is a proven fact, that 99% of the things we worry about, never come to fruition.  If there is no rhyme nor reason when it comes to the order in which people are laid off....a positive upbeat attitude may make the difference.

Hello, hows everyone on this fine feathered day?

I was wide awake early as well Orik.. Im awake again, only staying up this time.

Im over here at my parents.. seeing how everyones doing. I think I scared most of my dads friends here, we had been drinking for a bit and then he mentioned we would be going out for dinner. One of his friends was a seaman as well, so we started telling each other tales. lol.

LM: yeah, got some flavoured milk as well as some coffee for the mornings. I also got me a haircut        
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Mar 21 09 06:21
Wow.. never done one post after another a day apart in the lunch thread. &lt;tap tap&gt; this ting on?

Well, made a huge pot o chili yesterday. Chopped it all up and put it in my 3 gallon pot, then moved it from the stove and put it on top of the wood fireplace and let it simmer.. still going now, just watching it to make sure it doesnt burn.. its got bite!
Other than that we hacked up one of those big hunks of cow you can buy and trim it to what you want yourself.. hell of alot cheaper. So I sliced it into slices and then sliced them into steaks and if too small, into smaller bits of stewing beef per say.. That I put into the chili. The steaks I put into teriyaki sauce so after two days of soaking I will throw into freezer for when needed. The remains I was going to throw out when I said to starfishie, its too bad we didnt have a meat grinder to try to save as much as we can.. then my dads voice came from accross the room, well you know I have my mothers old one.. and we tried it. Wow, amazing how fast this thing hacked it up. We got about half a gallon of ground beef, we ended up with half a cup left of unusable bits from the whole section.
Other than that, visiting the fossils for dinner, and also brining a turkey. Yep.. doing a turkey fry tonight. I decided to do one cause my mothers having family over for her birthday in a few weeks.. and I am needing to make sure I got it down pat. Plus I like something like this. Hope I have enough beer for this.

I appologize here.. we had good intentions to make it, but we kept getting sidetracked with small things like installing a bathroom fan for my parents with my  dad which took twice as long as we both read the plainly spoken english directions different ways. I finally asked him how the french directions were he obviously was reading.


Other than that.. Im having to look into exhaust systems after this trip.. my vehicle is louder than normal lol. It got really bad heading to the ferry, and the lady asked if there was something wrong with it... I just told her it must be a fan belt.

Hey!  Came home feeling really bummed out today.  Then I realized that I need to change my frame of mind.  I should feel satsified if I [span style="text-decoration: underline;"]know[/span] that I've done a good job at work, instead of waiting for a pat on the back from the boss.
 
 But I do know that I'm doing a good job.  Sometimes the day is a bit disjointed and I end up putting out fires instead of making forward progress with my own projects.
 
 So...corned beef hash.
 Had some steamed diced potatoes in the fridge.
 Fried them in oil with 2 chopped onions and some chopped pastrami.
 I wish the potatoes had "browned" a bit more, but I think I was lacking patience with the nonstick frying pan and didn't let the "sit" long enough before moving them around.

Hi Lil Me - My boss tells me "If I don't hear anything, it means you're doing a good job.  If I hear complaints, then we've got something to work at."  So far so good....

At my former position, my Supervisor sat down with me and asked if I liked to hear if I was doing a good job and if I liked praises.  I told her that it would be nice to hear it once in a while and she told me to forward any emails to her when my contacts give me good feedback.

Maybe you could ask your new boss how he thinks you're doing?  And that you'd like some feedback?  I think everyone needs praises and to get noticed in work, life, etc. I have confidence that you're doing a wonderful job, Lil Me. :) (if that helps)

Dinner was perogies with sour cream and some bacon bits.

  I agree, Lil Me.  It's nice to get some positive feedback.....not necessarily to feed our egos, but it helps us to know if were meeting their expectations.  (but feeding our egos is nice too)  There's no doubt in MY mind that you're doing a great job...but it would be nice to hear it from them.

Are you sure that those two things go together? lol. I must admit Ive never had this.. or even contemplated it. Did you do plain rice or like a mixed rice with egg and other stuff. Did you do a salad or veggie as well?

Sounds like the coyotes had a good meal as well. Tell them to keep it up and keep reducing those shit hawks.

We also dug into an older milk chocolate bar we had buried in the cupboard.. we discovered it when we were looking for some canned mushroom soup so we could make a garlic and muchroom sauce. I wonder if this is a case of great minds think alike.. or idiots seldom differ.

I am sorry PC.. I had a huge laugh when I saw your post so I just had to come on and say Im sorry for your predicament. I take it you are having shortribs today?
I still have to think what Im doing for dinner.. Im open to suggestions. We had burgers last night, had steaks and roast last week... turkey on the weekend. Maybe a type of chicken?

Bunch of my friends showed up last night, so we had a few drinks and told each other bs stories.

I also started my Tahoe yesterday and still heard a loud exhaust sound.. so I finally crawled underneath and my muffler was splayed open like a parisian girl.. it was rustier than I remember lol.. damn road salt. So I was looking at the pipe before and after it.. and saw it might need to be replaced as well. The pipe coming out from the engine headers was ok, the pipe to the cat was ok.. but the connection after the cat looked like if I touched it, it would make it worse. I called to the local parts place and found the parts.. then remembered a place we know that does exhaust, it would be 100 more to get them to do it instead of me. So.. yeah, I got them to do it instead of me. they didnt break the cat either.. which I might have, lol.

Im trying to decide what Im going to do today...

The thing that ticked me off about the crockpot, was that I'm sure it was 'OFF' when I plugged it in.  But even though I squinted really hard, I thought it said ON.....thinking it might have been unplugged from it's last use, in the 'ON' position.  So....it's not even like I forgot to turn it ON.....I actually, physically turned IT OFF.

So Im still not sure what to do.. ok. I think Ill head out to the fish store and buy some new lights and stuff. My damn crawfish are all dead. Im trying to think whether I should get another of those little buggers or not. As one ate the other and the last one up and died on me.

I had them to add some diversity to my fishtank and also to help with having less crap buildup on the bottom of the tank. Crawfish are bottom feeders. They are also really neat. They climb up everything they can and chase each other and the fish in the tank. Really fun to watch.
I had two and they were getting really big.. then one suddenly disappeared but I thought he was just hiding in my pirate ship in the tank. Then about a week after not seeing him the other one had bits of his carapace in his claws as he was digesting him. I got home last week and the last one was still trucking. I got back from the island and he was upside down on the bottom of the tank not moving.

I have to go to the fishstore anyhow for new flourescent bulbs and starters. They arent working too well anymore. Still not sure if I should get a couple more.. what do you think?

Afternoon! So I went and got the lights.. but unfortunately they were out of the crawfish, so I was told to come back on saturday. Lets see if I remember that this time, lol.

Well, Other than that I am awaiting on Miss Starfishie to arrive at home so we can head out to get the Toyota insured so I can bring it home to put it under another knife.. to remove the box and fabricate up one that I will be happier with. I hope. I dont think starfishie realizes how much this will cost, lol.

My brother has taken over the garage right now and has bits of outboard motor legs dangling from the ceiling for him to paint. Its annoying cause if you arent paying attention you walk into them and get mercury black on your head.

 Morning! Something like that. Its kinda a work in thought so far, as I dont want to take it all apart and not have the idea finalized. Im also changing front brake rotors again as I warped them again last trip. Other doodads as well.. second gas tank, etc. Although Im searching for asecond gas tank right now, lol.

Ha.. its going to take some time to collect all the parts I want to use and also all the metal. Im trying not to pay the extremely high prices that metal sellers around here are charging when you consider the current price of metal. Im starting to browse the scrap metal sellers to save money! The only problem is so far whenever I do I end up at a bar thats nearby, lol.

Its the Wiemar Republic and the attitude around here at least in the positions of power have changed dramatically to one of denouncing etc. The protest group is holding another rally again this year, last time they did this the RCMP showed up and arrested everyone.

I'm not on a Visa, I'm an immigrant with temp resident status, at least that's how Canada defines me. lol I get to put down Nationality: Canadian going through customs coming up here and then American going back there. So I'm a de-facto dualie apparently.

Interesting.. never thought to look in TnT for it. Only been in Thriftys on the island.
LOL on the pizza and beer, we also did that.. I wanted something else but I was hit by budget starfishie restraints. lol.
Um, she also did some research on her own for prices on the box.. thus the Starfishie budget has hit.

I cant believe some of these autowreckers places. I called around and many of the quotes, if they did have the tank I wanted, was around 100 bucks.. without the damn sender and pump (wtf?). A new tank from Lordco is about 80 bucks plus tax. Mention this to them.. and they tell you to get that then?

No, this is most likely permanent. I don't really like staying in one place for 20 years because I get tired of places really quickly. I can't figure out if I want to end the book (I think of life as a book made up of 4.5 chapters hopefully, each chapter 20yrs) here or make this ch. 2... I'm getting deeply philosophical here at a super tired and exhausted state, but the plan I always had in mind was to be a dualie.  But, I'm at a fork and I don't know which road to take.

LOL on the pizza comment, Mr. Michel. Welcome to the club.

  Hola!! Just been back from Hong Kong. What an amazing place! I am so addicted to the shopping there and managed to spend all my spending money within week two. Clothes are dirt cheap there but the food and grocery certainly add up quickly. I have managed to speak in various broken Cantonese but most folks speak English so it was relatively easy to get around.

  Here's a collection of pictures I've taken and I'll start from the right:

  a) statue of Bruce Lee on the Avenue of Stars. Right below the picture is a picture of Jet Li's handprint and signature. I took a lotta pics of various Chinese stars like Michelle Yeoh (James Bond), Jackie Chan etc. Just off to the right is another picture of two statues showing a camera and a director at the same place.

  b) beside Bruce Lee's picture is the street picture of Macau. Just below the apartments is a cafe that sells the most delicious Portuguese tarts I've ever tasted. The cafe has samples like you've never seen before and you can virtually spend 1/2 hour there just munching on every little tidbits.

  c) on the lower left hand corner is a picture of lobsters. I've never seen such colorful lobsters and boy, do they taste delicious! This was taken at the Sai Kung Fishing Village where you can pick whatever seafood you fancy and they'll cook it for you. Expensive meal but well worth the trip if you're into seafood.

  d) right next to the lobster picture is a picture of Kwuan Li or the Goddess of Mercy. She's located in Macau just as you enter the place via ferry.

  e) on the lower right is a picture of Goofy. Yes, we went to Disneyland and it wasn't as big as the LA one but definitely the place to go if you have kids.

  (http://i44.tinypic.com/2yw8nt5.gif)

  Man, what a trip. I'm sick as a dog on account of the stupid air condition on the plane but other than that, I can't wait to go back again.

  There are so many picture opportunities in HK that I can't help but thought about you. I think you would have enjoyed taking lots of pictures. The only problem I had was the weather. Overcast, not much lighting and damp (like it poured the second week we were there). I guess we brought the stupid rain with us.

  Anyways, how do you compensate when the days are overcast and you want to take better pics?  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Mar 31 09 09:08
Heya PC! It's good to be back. Thank you!

  I'll try to get a better picture of the lobster in a while. Macau is a different country that you can travel from Hong Kong or China. It was colonised by the Portuguese a long time ago hence the fusion of both cultures. What a wonderful experience that was! I had Portuguese food and it was saltier than I imagine but just as tasty.

  The kids were nuts over Disneyland though I must say it's not as grand as LA. Virtually no waiting in line because we were there on a weekday.

Portuguese tart is like the Chinese egg tart with custard in the middle but surrounded by flaky pastry. It's unlike anything I've tried before and let me tell you, it just melts in your mouth. Totally delicious and I can see why you can get addicted to them.

  [img style="WIDTH: 446px; HEIGHT: 287px" height=509 src="http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q39/isabelow/CIMG4437.jpg" width=559]

  Russ, oh yes, I'm still suffering from the effects of the stomach poisoning. Still lingering and I've taken some Chinese herbs which seems to help. It was a long sandwich, I guess a sub with chicken teriyaki and some onions and lettuce that did it. Not a very pleasant experience.

  It was expensive in HK but depending on what. I love the clothes there. I got quite a number of outfits for myself plus the kids. The bargaining is very addictive though I must say, I'm not very good judging from the looks from my sister who said I could get it cheaper. Grocery and food was expensive. A carton of 1 litre milk was Cdn $5!!! I had to get milk all the way from Australia because I don't trust the milk from China. Oh and I found soymilk from Canada which also cost about the same. I took one sip and almost puke. For some reason the soymilk here taste better.

  I'll say it again and again, we're sooooooooo lucky to live in Canada.

  Not all the dishes were deep fried as you can see. I really love the deep fried crab/prawn thingy the best. You would crack open the back with a scissor provided and you get the flesh and roe inside. It took a bit of a lesson learning when it came to the escargot (bottom left) as you needed a sharp stick to tease the flesh out then discard the top and bottom bit. Messy and worth it. Expensive meal which cost us about Cdn $200.

  Edit: forgot to include the zebra lobster.

I got that this time. Finally after two years.

Maybe he didnt like all my emails and comments?

I think my first email told him I would be voting against him as most of his ideals were not in line with mine.
This past email was me telling him he better not vote to renew the gun registry fiasco.. and I was opposed to any sort of further gun control on law abiding gun owners.

Im going to take a look at Starfishies brothers honda this morning.. he cant close his window all the way. I couldnt even get some good information out of the brother as the dad kept talking about taking it to the dealer... its almost ten years old!
Its probably just come off the track, or the track has broken.. nothing too major.

This just means I have to shift the crap around inside my garage and move my toy out and cover it with a tarp while I work on the honda in the nice warm garage, lol.


So how is everyone elses day panning out?

Thats too bad.. I remember her changing jobs and saying something about she might be able to surf more often.. or then again maybe not.

Good to see that 49er is still around.. has anyone seen kingy in a little while?

Hey SD.. have you heard from Tenk or know whereabouts hes at now?


Well, Im still waiting on a phone call.. I got called from a relative that I was avoiding and ended up picking up thinking it was Starfishies brother. That was around 30 minutes of my life I will never recover.

Russ, you should have sent the politician a picture of your naked self. That way, he'll make everything vote in your favor. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

--------------------------

Haven't talked to Tenk in ages or PL in a while.
Last time I remember off Tenkani's profile is that he got a dog (which I don't really have to tell, I mean lil me and purelife could know this too).
Other than that I don't really talk to him anymore. He's around every couple a months it seems.

Hmm I'm going to take some initiative and organize the football teams 10yr anniversary (or at least float out the idea) its 3yrs away for our I guess I'll call it 10 at 10.  (10 years since the perfect season 10 wins). lol

God, I miss those guys, great times although I'd get picked on for being the 'most white' I had to earn my blackness, I still have it, somewhere locked safely in a box, mainly its respect, you have to earn the respect of a community basically. I keep in contact with one of the running backs he's in med school at one of the top med schools in the country.

There's more great quotes and memorable lines about the team that year but DS won't allow the words and it'll be taken out of context. Literally we played like it was brown vs. board of education (or Remember the Titans) (the coaches were completely unaware of our motives), that's the world that was instilled in us. Plus we were aware of it (every monday it was 'who got shot at the clubs'). It was a fact of life. I mean cops showed up at a game to stop whites from attacking us. Freaking bootheel missouri, shitty ass town. Never go to Portageville Missouri, full of racists hicks if you don't look white. That win was for the slaves, it was the first time we all saw cotton fields...

Forgot to mention we went to the Carshow yesterday.. some nice looking cars but no real amazing concept cars, though they did have the hydrogen and other hybrid cars there.
It was not as good as previous years.. but there were some car and motorcycle clubs up on the first floor you could look through.

We also went for Sushi beforehand.. I will try to remember the place, but avoid it like it has the plague. The sushi looked like it had sat for a bit and looked a bit off.. as for the gyoza.. I had to get them to take it away from my plate as it smelled so bad it was making me sick..
Ive never been to a sushi place as bad as that.

OK, I should run. Starfishie is giving me fishie eyes.

 Maybe he didnt like all my emails and comments?

I think my first email told him I would be voting against him as most of his ideals were not in line with mine.
This past email was me telling him he better not vote to renew the gun registry fiasco.. and I was opposed to any sort of further gun control on law abiding gun owners.  

That's weird Russ I've written an MLA and chewed his ass out ... stopping short of calling his mother a great big dirty hoe ... (Honestly it was pretty nasty) but he wrote a "thank you very much for your views ..." letter back to me within a few days.  

I also have written Little Stevie Harper regarding Dali Lama and not to cow tow to the Chinese pressure - stand up and be a man of honor not of greed, he wrote a very nice letter back within a couple of days.

Wasn't today just incredible?? OMG. Helloo Mr. Sunshine!!!

  We went to Barnett Park today. Not many people there and it was a bit windy but perfectly lovely. We brought the dog with us who managed to bark at every single four legged furball out there. Dumb mutt.... *mumble mumble* I read a couple of chapters from my book as the kids went for a long walk with their daddy. BLISS. Now I'm wishing for more days like today.

  Had a last ski day of the year followed by lunch at Rotten Ronnie's- craving fries and salt.

  Went home and spent a couple hours in the home office.  *pats self on back*  I figured out how to transfer money between accounts in Quickbooks in different currencies without paying hundreds of dollars for a software upgrade.  My brain hurts now, but at least I finished 1st quarter record keeping and GST for our business.

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone is having a nice relaxing long weekend.

  We went to Seattle Premium Outlet on Thursday. No line-up at the border which suits us just fine. I bought myself a Coach purse which I am totally nuts about. Then we went to Target and got several DVDs for $5. Unbelievable. I love shopping in the good ole USA.

  Finally went to watch the Watchmen yesterday. Interesting. A bit violent even for me but good story line. I am glad it got the Zack Syder treatment because he stayed true to the graphic novel. Can't wait to see what he has in store next.

Anyway, moving on, punk kids showed up at the party uninvited, we think 16 year olds, they were looking for a fight, said they had a glock, pulled out a wimpy knife (seriously is that they can all come up with these days), I walked out of the house amused, they noticed (lol, weak) and got all defensive (lame 16yr olds). Anyway everybody in the party was freaking out a bit, I thought they were adults, apparently not. They handled it well anyway, A+ on the diffusion by the big guy outside. Ended up talking to the mother of my friend about how kids these days are going overboard. Do I sound old? I think I do. lol

You should really stop by the Woodland Zoo in Seattle, Michel. Plenty of good picture opportunities but I suggest you try for a weekday trip instead of a weekend. Avoid the crowds.

  We were at Richmond Park yesterday. Fantastic! Saw plenty of birds and even some hawks. Wished we had bought a camera though I daresay we would suck at taking pictures of birds compare to Michel.

  Michel - I didn't know you don't like taking pictures of captive animals but I can see your point judging from you pictures. The Woodland Zoo has this amazing enclosure for gorillas where the glass only seperates you from the primates. We (meaning the kiddies) were just fascinated.

Gorillas make a lot of freakin noise.

Ive seen them in a zoo like park in Congo. You could sometimes see them if you got close enough to the shores on the Congo River.

Avoid the Africa Green monkey (I think they are called). We saw some of them in cages and my god do they make noise.. they like to throw crap at you or pee at you if you get too close. They will also try to grab you. One of them took a hat from a person in the group I was in.

Right, mental note to self: avoid green monkeys. As a kid, we went to this place in Penang, Malaysia where monkeys were (still) worshipped. They would roam around the place (in gangs no less) and try to grab whatever you have in your hands, handbags, whatever. Only the quawlos think they're terribly cute. I think they're vicious buggers with fleas.

  Here's a youtube clip on them if you're interested. [A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bLJA1BtWW8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bLJA1BtWW8[/A]

-the school pays no attention to the high schoolers from rural areas of BC who are top of their class
-the school thinks lower mainland is BC
-albertans get higher grades
-the school is run by old british males, no people of colour in the house
-Mark Twain reincarnated and became a prof at UBC
-For all their talk about weeding 'bad kids' out of the system, aka kids who weren't in the top 5% of their class in hs, I'm staring them in the face.

Oh yeah I can dance, I just never really show it in public. I used to know salsa dancing, when I'm in a really good mood at a dance club I'll teach the girls how to line and square dance. I did gymnastics until 11, and figure skating until about 13, swim team until 15.

I never really talk about those abilities. I miss skating and swimming probably the most.

  SD...I have to say, I'm quite surprised.  Who knew.   So if you don't really do it in public....exactly where are you dancing.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

I'm a man of pleasant surprises, people just got to take the time to know me. lol

I only dance these days when I'm in costume for some reason, or in a really really really good mood. I think the masks act as a 'okay time to be yourself, nobody can see you' thing. The good mood happens maybe 10x a year.  Most of the time I'm Atticus Finch and slowly morphing into my father. lol

Although today I was more Russell Peters again, second time this week.

Good job, SD.

  I'm not sure I'm rooting for Vanoc. Are they going to make my life a living hell when they start to move onto campus? Will they re-route my bus route??? I'll be on their side if they will provide

  a) free beer

b) free lunch

c) gorgeous atheles to do my every bidding

  OK. Sun Run tomorrow downtown. Avoid it like hell unless you wanna get caught in traffic.

I signed up to volunteer a couple months ago. You're then suppose to pick what you want to do. I picked open/closing, hockey and speed skating as my 'wants'.



they called me asking about opening/closing.

My friend is volunteering her time for Vanoc. Turns out she's a Russian translator but that's not all they want her to do. She's got a huge list of things to do which is ridiculous. All without pay but on the plus side, she gets perks like going to the opening/closing ceremony etc. etc. Still not worth it though. You'd have to take time off from work to participate and that's something I can't see myself doing.

  No dinner for me. I had an AYCE lunch buffet at Top Gun restaurant in New Westminster. Thought we'd take the kids out for a walk around the pier and market. Surprise to find the market has closed... been closed for months now. What a waste. With summer approaching, they'll be people abound looking for things to see and do in New West. Ah well.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

LOL. OK, yes, that's the name. Westminster Quay. The other one is Lonsdale Quay, right? I don't frequent that area that often.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 20 09 07:22
Morning!  Hope everyone had a good weekend.
 I haven't been to the New West Quay for ages.  It was a bit of an empty market the last time I was there...looked like it had seen better days.
 Lonsdale Quay is still busy.  It's a really nice market.
 
 Last night I was treated to dinner at a Beijing style restaurant- with the parents who volunteered at the taekwondo tournament.  The food was delish! Conversation was a bit confusing, because the parents switched back and forth between Cantonese and Mandarin.  I understand Cantonese a tiny bit, and no Mandarin at all.  Funny thing is, the other parents are very kind and encouraging when it comes to my language efforts, but they think I'm the village idiot.  (which is understandable, I guess....if someone understands a bit, but can't speak, and can't read or write...)

    Good morning Lise and Lil.

  Weekend ok, except I have developed a tooth ache, which is making me cranky.

  So the Westminster Quay is gone.  Too bad....it was once a pretty cool place....although the last time I was there, many of the shops were empty, and the rest all grossly overpriced.

  I think being able to speak even a little bit of a second...(third, fourth?) language, is admirable.

Aw.  Toothache sucks.  Have a shot of rum and an Advil?
 
 Hot dog sale was good on Sat.  We sold hot dogs, pizza by the slice, drinks, chips, etc and actually made some money for the first time ever- apparently the concession stand usually breaks even or takes a loss because of the large number of volunteers that need to be fed for free.
 
 Was ready to sell Jeckyl for scrap a few hours ago, but we have since resolved our differences.
 
 About an hour ago, there were 8 firefighters outside my door (whoo!) going on a tour of the new construction here in the cul de sac.

 If you soak a small amount of cotton wool in some whisky and then manoeuvre it against the offending fang, you'll find that it deadens the pain for a while. If this doesn't work, follow the same procedure several hundred times and eventually you won't care whether it works or not.

PC, have you seen a dentist? Sounds like you might need a root canal. Hope it's nothing major. Like a patient told me once, there's nothing like a toothache. The pain is incredible. *yikes*

  Oh, I'm used to various languages being said. It's done daily at home where my husband speaks his own language. I actually managed to pick up a few words over the years where I may not know how to speak but I understand. I would love picking up more languages, French, Cantones, Mandarin.... you name it, I'll do it!

I'm everywhere but DS these days. So sorry for not being around. I'm wanted by about 15 people everyday, almost to the point I need a Black Berry.

BBQ at West Vancouver beach was great, although the carnival was closed! Why do they keep the lights on then! lol I felt like all of us were in National Lampoon's Vacation and we reached Wally's World.

Apparently LSE (London School of Economics) is accepting people with a 3.1 average, as a friend of a friend got into a program there. So with my cumulative being higher than that, so this Europe idea isn't too far fetched. lol

Although I don't know if I'd want to go to a country where people speak English.

Sorry for the confusion.
My friends rather go to a place where they aren't forced to have to learn another language. I find that the fun part. lol
Oh I'd understand all the accents, once you're used to being around any accent you're acquainted to all it seems. At least that is the case for me as growing up around Germans and southerners from the woods did me wonders.


 

 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Theres so many different accents and dialects SD its not even funny wherever you go. I am still of the firm belief that the UK is the worst, go just outside of Aberdeen or Glasgow and its almost an entirely different accent. Its incredible.

  Good morning Fellow DS'ers! Whats new and exciting in this wonderful world? Quite nice outside too.. and Im leaving in a few days Yaarghrk.

  Im heading out to a spring place to get some centring bolts.. as I wasnt told I needed them origionally and I ended up having everything apart and.. needed these later last night when the stores were closed. Mr Murphy rearing his head again I tell ya.

  Ended up going to Cactus Club for din din last night, then headed out to Riverport for a movie.. we watched Fast and the Furious 4. It was pretty good in my opinion, but missing some of the origional apeal behind the origional, at least it wasnt as bad as the second one.

  I've got hostas and peonies from my co-worker. Now I gotta find a place for them. PC, do you know anything about hostas? Like can they grow like crazy if I plant them out? Do they die in winter? Do I need to prune them every so often?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Apr 29 09 06:35
Hi Lise.....lucky girl getting hostas and peonies.  Both expensive plants that are pretty care free.

  Hostas prefer a shaded area, with some sunshine, but make sure the sun they get isn't the middle of the day sun, which is too hot for them.  They will even do well in a large pot.  I love them, because they are pretty maintanance free and as I don't get much sun in here through the trees, I'm happey with anything that can grow in the shade....lol.  They tolerate drought and will 'mulitiply' each year. They like a little composted soil around them instead of fertilizer.  They don't need pruning and are fairly resistant to pests.

  They die in the winter, and will come back a little bigger each year.  When it gets too big....dig it up....split into sections and replant the new sections. I just split mine all up last fall, and so far all but one of the new plantings have come up. Yeayyyy.

Well, changed the front leafs on my truck yesterday, loaded it up and cleaned out the garage REALLY well. Had a few people over drinking my keg beer so I conscripted them into helping. It was alot of fun actually, everyone went home with something useful.. like a can of brake clean or part from a mid 60's chevy brake booster.

Er, kinda. Some vehicles have leaf springs and some have coil springs, depends on what vehicle you have. Most people dont have a vehicle long enough or use it enough to wear out the leaf springs or coils. I kinda use my toyota truck to the extreme when on the logging roads and 4x4ing so Im changing my worn out leafs after a year and a half or so. (translation beat the crap out of it as Starfishie put it).

We had the Safeway Select brand lasagna.  It was on sale for $7.99 for this week and can feed 4.  It was surprisingly good.

F&amp;^%$$&amp;^$ing stupid digital picture frames. These things are smarter than me I swear. ALL I want to do is get them to display some damned photos. I have spent 2 hours so far and all its done is convince me to drink. There are still currently no photos on my digital photo frame.

 [FONT size=2]Well it all began by a gift of the last can of coke in the place as a farewell and  they told me they were happy to see me as they didn't saw me for the last week and a half. I was asked to sign in a little booklet. It's only then that I realized that she was explaining she is closing down the place. After eating, I went to the chocolate factory that is close to here and bought a big box of dark chocolates and went back to give to the staff as they always give me free stuff and bigger plate. That's went the kissing episode occurs(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/8.gif) . If they open another place in the neighborhood, they will call me to tell me where.[/FONT]

Came back from teh Vancouver Marathon.. dont worry, I didnt run. But my bro's girlfriend, and a few of her friends did. We werent that into it and went to all teh checkpoints like her friends families did, but we showed up at teh finish line, took pics and a short video as her and her friends crossed teh line. Then gave her flowers.

Just got back from River Rocks all you can stuff yourself brunch. It was ok, but nothing to cry about, hopefully the dinner buffet is better.

Lemme know how the dinner buffet at River Rock was if you did go.

  Looks a wee bit dismal out there today...good chance to catch up on some neglected housework.

    Are you all getting the massive sheets of pollen over there ?  I have never seen it like this in all the years I've been here.  There was a thick layer of it a month or so back....which took some doing to clean it all up....but there is another thick layer again.  Where the water has run off the roof, there are puddles of yellow everywhere.  Strange.

Everything devised in the computer age was thought up in Metropolis, a silent movie. (that movie)
-they are talking through tv sets in telephone conversations. (this movie is 1927)

It has a silly ending that critics panned, but a certain Goebbels loved it because its all about revolution forced from above with the special group of wannabe revolutionaries or owners who would still be in control. Uniting the brain/head (owners) and the heart/arms (down below), making the body (Metropolis the city) whole.

The ending there's a hand shake. The robot was created by the ruler of the city to create a revolution and bring everything down so he could gain and have total control (like a vanguard party or nazi party ideal). Anyway, that's the point of that movie, working class getting confused and taken advantaged of, played off of by the owners and in the end they all unite to strive to make the city a better place. Workers drop their revolutionary ideas kneel before the owners. etc

    Well....there's always that bunch that fancies themselves intellectual, when really, they are no more equipped to judge a subjective medium than anybody else.  And then there's the bunch that just love to hear the sound of their own voice.  Some of the crap that 'intellectuals' call art leaves much to be desired.  I've taken overdue stuff out of the bottom of my vegetable drawer that has more artistic appeal.  (not including Metropolis in that one)(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Hi there. Ball hockey is the same as regular hockey, except we play in a gym with a ball. No roller blades, just running shoes. Just like PE class, haa.  Actually, it is a very competitive league in Richmond Hill. Full gear, helmets, and insurance forms.  I sweat so hard playing this game. It is perfect for the post hockey season. By Bruins, I mean our team, not Boston. Its pretty hot actually. I get to sweat it up with a couple dozen sweaty guys. One in particular is the cutest... there are only 3 other females that play. min. 2 per team.

  As for drivers needing tires, yeah, I guess you are right about bikes, etc. Our business is still not booming, but the 'B' word is no longer a cloud looming over our heads. My dad only has a couple years he wants to keep the shop going. Unless I take it over, he will sell it. I am not sure yet. I got time to think. I probably will. I do enjoy it. I am just concerned how many more years people will need tires? I thought we would all have Jetsons cars by now? flying. haa.

Hi everyone.

I had dinner over at mom's and I had my brother take me grocery shopping.  I'm happy now that there's food in the fridge.  I was starting to bite my nails.

On my way to mom's, I took the wrong bus from Newton and ended up with a half hour longer detoured trip.  What a bumpy ride with a grumpy bus driver.  My mom surprised me with one of my favorite plants for my home.  She put it in a lovely pot and added good soil.  I feel so spoiled. :)

 Hi Lil Me, P.C., Michel and SD.
What's wrong with Urban Fare, SD?

I'm not sure of the name of the house plant but here's a pic.  The cool thing about this plant is that the leaves grow to be so big and it can loop around things.  My mom and MrPL's grandma has one and it's huge!  So purty.   I wish I had more light in our home because I would love to have more plants.  The next plant I'm going to buy is a spider plant.

Urban Fare PL? Oh in Geography we basically dedicate an entire section to that store with what's wrong with Vancouver, specifically Yaletown in the gentrification process/neo-liberalism/Richard Florida and his 'gay index' and so on.  I find the people in there living in a sort of la-la land, then again the whole neighbourhood feels plasticy anyway.

I'm the only person I know who likes Modernism, so I love the campus, much to the dismay of my neo-liberal, post-modern, yaletown loving hipster colleagues.

When it comes to Vancouver, I'm the guy who shouts back at the person who says Vancouver doesn't have any old buildings or history.

No the local young people hate it too. They either want to go to Europe, Asia, or move to the Island as its a place they never have spent much time in (or poli sci kids looking for jobs in Victoria). Majority of my friends though are Euro bound, with one going to S.Korea to teach English. lol

I don't know anybody my age who likes the city. They all want to leave, got tired of the bubble, meta-isolation feeling. This is a city where you can get lost in for years and never leave. Then it doesn't help when people like Michael Geller keep telling me to leave and come back in your 30s/40s/50s. Oh snap, I name dropped.

Well I try to study what works (but the number one rule in anything development is that there's no real right answer), then I get all excited thinking 'okay this works, there's got to be someone out there in power who is seeing what I'm seeing' then I do research and realize nobody has came to same conclusion as I have, then I get more discouraged and lost in my own sea of thoughts. lol


Nothing really makes people happy and content, I think its just restlessness, restlessness, restlessness, and then when you reach a certain age you give up and accept the world for what it is.

Hi Guys! Glad to be typing this after last afternoon/evening/morning lol
I got you all beat on stories.

Yesterday I hit my head on a house extension that over hangs this walk way. About a couple minutes later I forgot what street I was on with my canvassing partner, when I got back to the office I basically collapsed in a chair, fell over. The ladies told me to go to the hospital, so one of them took me. About half way there, while I was talking, I noticed I wasn't thinking straight or as quick, and my words started mumbling/jumbled and couldn't finish a thought, like I was having a stroke or something. Anyway, got to the hospital had a hard time counting down from 100 by 7, thought it was friday, and then passed out for 4hrs on a hospital bed.

Saved by the women in my life, I was nursed back to health this morning by girl[span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]friend[/span] at her place, and the other girl[span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]friend[/span] (basically they're a dynamic duo) were worried sick, thought I was dying or something, as I wasn't responding to text messages in the ER, as I got no reception. In the ER I realized how alone I am in the world, these sort of thoughts come to my mind when I'm in ERs, but moreso this time around. lol

Well my humour is back, but I'm still half braining it and most of those two paragraphs I've sort of rehearsed a thousand times with other people after I told them I was in the hospital.

Fun times. I should just permanently wear a helmet everywhere or as Oma says, "you won't make it to 83." lol Oddly enough though my vision improved before passing out and then went back to normal. odd.

sleep time.

Ran around Kits all day yesterday driving a Prius and working with an old communist ex-american guy who was rather funny. Later hung out with Spencer Herbert, and then the worst nightmare a male could ever have happened from about 2am-to 8am.

No its rather cruel, while it was happening it was rather demoralizing, then in the early morning when it happened again, I couldn't stop laughing with a friend on the apartment balcony while I was texting her making fun of the situation. All the 'sistas' in my life have more or less uttered the same thing 'she's a slut' and 'holy shit, holy shit that's cruel omg and low'. lol

I won't go that far, she's still a friend, but rather I find it amusing. The girl obviously wants to just fool around in the minors her whole life with the socially awkwards. lol

good times.

  Sorry to hear that Lil Me.  Working for someone else is not the way to eliminate stress, for sure. I think too, that if you do your job well, as I suspect you do....then you become a great candidate for covering off on all things.  You become a 'catch-all'.

  Talk to them. (just don't say "I can't handle all the extra crap"....say... "you're tossing a lot my way") Then it rightfully becomes their failure, not yours. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

(Spoken in Captain Kirk speak with dramatic pauses, hyperbole to the max as usual, emo myspace/facebook note post style)

I came to the same conclusion about stress in the workforce, thus I decided to follow the path of my prof, whose never had a job in his life, as proclaimed in one of his humorist academic papers about life passing by. But then I realized, I can't write, as I was taught in private schools, and was a public school drop out in grade 8, for reasons of being bored with it all, and wanting to get away and wander the country side in search of Eden, for freedom, or so I told the principals, who were bewildered at my struggle.  Now, that I've reached university, I don't do enough drugs like the smart kids, so therefore, I don't get papers that go 'wow! brilliant' but 'woah wtf,' so I realized this dream was just as real as the name I gave my shadow. So I, in search for that garden of Eden, the mythical land of 6 weeks vacation, and a 32hr work week, I started wandering.

Hope that helps :)

Oh wow Michel what a weekend.

I don't know what to say about the border, I already saw massive profiling against asians last time I had a car and went south (which I already knew about). I'll see how it is by Amtrak when I go to Portland hopefully in June. I don't think I'll ever have a problem, half the guys at the Blaine station are from the midwest. I just put on my 'I'm a good ole boy' act and start talking in twang. Then the border guard and I start talking about bases they were located or baseball. After a couple minute chat, I'm free.

I despise flying into the country, the airport border people were directly hired from prison work. Pain in the ass country, and people are wondering why immigration into the country has stalled.

 Cross the border late at night past 10pm. They get lax and newbies patrol, who only just take licence and plates.


But the wall gets put up on June 1st. So its anybody's guess at the new check point charlie.

 They threatened to arrest me once, as I was trying to help them read my Canadian papers. Thankfully I only had the 'If you touch or help me in anyway as I'm in possession of the papers, I will have to arrest you' (the nice guy).  The 'shut up, what are you doing' woman 'officer' (doesn't even deserve to be called one) would of probably have put me in detention (I'd of probably of dared her, I was already pissed off about missing flights to Denver, she needs to be put in her place). I had already goofed once due to the incompetence of the design of Calgary's airport, she had 10mins earlier gone "and what exactly are you doing?" (angry voice). Piece of shit people on power trips is unacceptable.

It's an international embarrassment that these are the people who welcome you to the country. Nobody in the line tries to tell them straight (probably because they don't have the 'rights' to do so, one of these days I might tell one of them to stop it, I frankly don't care what would happen next), all the Americans in line groan and talk about our other border experiences, and then apologize to the internationals for having fascist cops.

No this is coming in and not leaving. I never see the Blackshirts until trying to get in.

They sometimes bitch about me going to school and living in Canada, (they have before, coming home for Christmas last year guy basically straight up said why?) I find that silly, but it fits my overall theory of undergrad out of the U.S.= traitor, anti-american. Its the idea that 'you are too good for us' etc.

 The only time they ask me extra questions is if I drive through Sumas/Huntingdon because I live closest to 176.  But I'd rather drive out to Abby and skip the line-up, if there is one.

Oh my goodness Michel!  Sorry to hear that you had to go through all that hoopla at the border!  But was your trip worth it though?  (besides getting lost)

I never had any troubles at the border except for one random stop at the border where they checked our car and one time we had to pay duty coming home.  I do get the feeling that the Sherriff's down there love to stop any foreign licence plates.  Last year, my parents got stopped and was asked (after looking at my dad's canadian citizenship card) why he doesn't renew his card.

It's the uniform. Just like the people at the DMV who wear uniforms as you take your driving test. The uniform gives them a sense of importance and power. Then when someone has a gun and a uniform its doubly so.

Ooooh, OJ..... haven't had that in a while. Maybe I'll grab me a carton of OJ tomorrow.

  Took the wee mutt to the vet. Surprised that he actually behaved himself (i.e. did not growl at other dogs or pee at the entrance or left a nasty surprise at the vet place like he did the last time) so heck, must be mellowing at his age. Got a clean bill of health except the vet wants to clean his teeth. Last time I checked, I would have to pay $300 to clean teeth. No thanks, I'm going to scale his teeth. Again.

Whoa, it must take talent to scale your dog's teeth.

  Just got back home after a great weekend at Golden Ears with Scouts.  No major injuries, didn't lose any kids, and we all had a good time... Alouette lake is c-c-c-old.  No swimming for me.

  Heckyl was headbutted by a german shephard while he was bent down to roll up his tent this morning.  Bump on the noggin, but he's a tough kid.  (last camping trip, he had a run-in with a swinging baseball bat)

I'd like to learn, too.  But I lack good depth perception and peripheral vision- so probably a bad idea :)

  I'm so done.  It was a brutal day, I worked an hour past quitting time, and I'm getting headaches planning the schedule at work- none of the jobs are going as planned.  One of the service vans broke own today.  The boss was sending me frequent text messages (from his vacation in the tropics) that I didn't have time to reply to.

  Gotta drive to Ditchmond tomorrow, to pay for the van repair-- was unsuccessful in getting Crappy Tire to take a credit card payment over the phone.  Guess I'll be call-forwarding the office line to my cell phone.

Sounds like fun, I'm free all of June.

Yeah I tend to work myself to death to hard. I don't like taking breaks, as it gets me out of my rhythm. This isn't all that smart on a warm day, but that's life.

If Outliers is lead to believe, I inherited more of the peasant gene over the wunderkind gene.  At least that's how I feel most of the time. I can't make a cappuccino if my life depended on it.

  Yes, it takes a bit of a hat trick to scale a dog's teeth. This is especially true if your patient is un-cooperative as he is. That is why they put dogs to sleep while they scale and the cost comes from the anesthesia. I'm too cheap to pay for that.

I like labor work that has got to do with the house.  I helped my parents before with their garden, moving the lawn, trimmings, painting, etc.  I don't think I would last long doing the kind of manual labor that MrPL does.

  Oh heck, PC... think of the things we could do with a newer and fresher body. I'll be signing up for salsa classes in no time at all. Speaking of dancing, I signed up for belly dancing. Not sure what I'm going to be doing but I'm sure it's fun and good for the old hip.

chicken quesadillas and coleslaw for dinner.  I have 9 avocados sitting on my counter and not one of them is ripe yet.... :(

I hope you get better soon, Lise.  

I was in Metrotown the other day and saw this GIGANTIC lady coming towards me who was a lot taller than MrPL.  I think she was 7 feet tall, with the heels, makeup, skirt, breasts, everything........BUT, it was a GUY!!!!  I did more than a double take.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Hi miss purelife.  How are you feeling ?  

  If you want to ripen avocados a little quicker, place them in a plain brown paper bag and store at room temperature. Including an apple, tomato or banana in the bag accelerates the process because these fruits give off ethylene gas which speeds the ripening process.

Wrapping them in newspaper works too.

 Thanks for the tip, P.C. (//forums/richedit/smileys/2.gif)   I just stick them by bananas but don't bag them, but will try wrapping in newspaper.

I'm feeling ok, just really really tired and there are some days where I have headaches (I rarely get headaches) and feel out of breath.  Thanks for asking, Miss P.C. :)  I'm almost half way there.

That does look like fun and something that I would go to but we have plans tomorrow.  We're going to help my brother tear down walls and adding a bathroom to his place, well, I'll just watch. :)

I made a yummy sandwich with the one avocado that ripend!  Along with avocado, it had alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, parsley, havarti, deli ham and lil bit of mayo and mustard between whole wheat sesame bread....from Cobs.  I love sammiches.  Then, I treated myself to a slurpee.  I get so hot easily these days.

Plans for the weekend, anyone?

Got a question for you Miss Lil Me.  I brought the rooster brand of rice and cooked with one cup rice and two cups water like I normally would, but it turned out so sticky and mushy, so I tried with only 1.5 cups and that still turned mushy and sticky.  Is it normal?  I wonder if I'm supposed to cook with one cup water with one cup rice?

Just use less water on the rice. I don't use cup measurements for my rice. Just the old way of measuring... using your index finger. Fill the water to half your index finger. That's all you need.

  Glutinous black rice is awesome for dessert. I usually use it to make a Malaysian dish known as bubur hitam. What I do is use the slow cooker for this. Soak the rice in water overnight then rinse and drain. Insert rice into slow cooker, add 1 cup of sugar and lots of water. Leave to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Scoop into bowl and serve with a dollop of coconut cream.

It's supposedly bad in Europe. When we were in Italy, I saw a group of.... hmmm.... what's the word for it.... I wanna say Gypsies but I know it's politically incorrect... swarm a couple with every intention of pick pocketing them. Kinda scary but you do what you gotta do to survive in this world.

They actually warn you on the plane, when headed for Italy, that the pick-pocketing is rampant there.

  The funny part about my sister and brother-in-law, is that my sister got picked right in the airport just after they landed...and my b in law was 'scolding' her about being more careful.  He got the vid-cam going and was actually filming these kids in action...and while he was doing it...HE got picked. LOL...but my sister yelled to him, so he caught him before he made off with anything.  They have a newspaper folded over their arm while they do this.  So for the rest of their stay there, they were on high alert.

What is the politically correct term for gypsies?  Romanian Nationals?

  On the Rooster brand rice- I use 1 cup rice to 1 1/4-1 1/2ish water in the rice cooker.  It isn't too mushy for us- probably because I set the timer in the am and the rice cooks and sits for hours before we actually need to eat...

  Well...the boss is back from his holiday.  I could have hugged him.  I'm so glad he's taking over the schedule now!  I told him that last week I almost started smoking again... Last week we had a van break down and a tech off with an ankle injury.

  Today-(gotta love Mondays) we had another van break down, a tech off with a mystery illness (large lump behind his ear) and the ankle guy went home early.

  LOL.  I'm home for a glass of wine before going out to Scouts.

Good morning everyone.

MrPL discovered a leak in our mini storage in room # 2 so he spent all night clearing out his stuff only to find that it has developed into black mold.  The carpet is soaked, the bottom wall is soaked and it smells in our place.  So, I have to retreat to my parent's for a few days until they fix it.  The black mold is deadly for a pregnant lady.  Well, at least they have a small area to fix.  They're going to tear out the carpet and the wall today then have a professional seal the leakage.

  P.C.-niiice paving.  Wow.  Hope the septic field is ok?  I was talking to a friend in the sewer business (sewer line cleaning and inspection) and he said septic systems can be tricky---total understatement, right?  He has a colleague in Nanaimo who does septic systems.

    Thanks Lil Me.  Still don't know where we're at with the septic problem.  We have to wait 2 weeks for the tank to fill again before we know if the problem is still there...or if the flushing of the drain pipes fixed it.  In the mean time, we have to leave the yard dug up...which is driving me bonkers.  It's such a mess.[/DIV]

 How was the weather and your trip, Michel?  Welcome back!!

Landlord is still working on the problem.  He has to spray that lil storage for a few days and then let it dry and then pour in the cement and then let that dry and then add the drywall and let that dry....  He's hoping to get it all done by the end of the weekend but isn't promising anything.  Landlord knows how it's like to stay over at parents so they are trying to complete this asap.  I MISS MY BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

I counted how many AC's my parents have.  4!!!!! and they have more than 7 fans!  The heat doesn't usually bother me but now, I get even more tired and sweat a lot more.

Hope everyone is doing well.  I hope your septic problem is getting better, P.C.

ADD:  Quite a few things were soaked, P.C, especially MrPL's art and comics.  :(

Hi everyone.

I'm sure with some time invested with Lil Lise Jr that she will overcome her shyness, Miss Lise.  I agree with Michel's method of exposing her to strangers, making her feel comfortable talking to them, responding to their questions, etc.  I think personalities are easier to mold when they are young than when they become an adult.  

I got my results back from the ultrasound and babe is perfectly healthy.  It didn't cooperate to show its gender so it might just end up being a surprise afterall unless we choose to go for the 3D ultrasound later later on.   As long as this one is healthy and I am only carrying ONE, I'm good with any gender.

Good advice, everyone. I'll try and expose her to more strangers. I think she'll definitely have her fill come September when she starts kindergarten.

  Today we took her to her ballet rehearsal and she wouldn't even let go of my bag. I was even given permission to stay with her backstage but she still wouldn't co-operate. I just hugged her and told her that I would have liked to see her on stage but if she doesn't feel like it, we won't push her. Oh well. One semester of ballet and $100 bucks on tickets down the drain. *sigh*

  EDIT: Totally psyched on your baby, purelife!!! EXCITEMENT!!!

She should be fine in kindergarten, usually the shy ones find other shys and or they are tag a longs on to a group of 'populars'. At least that's how I remember it. Then again I knew two guys from preschool who were in my class.

Students working on my teeth? Depends. I trust the international students.... e.g. those who have a doctorate degree from another country and has to repeat two years before graduating. There are some exceptional students that stand out more so than others. The majority are..... shall we say.... dicey. They're not exactly experienced enough to know what they're doing. They are taught the theoretical aspects of a procedure then unleashed to unsuspecting patients.

  Why hesistant about whitening? You're putting bleach on your teeth. Anytime you introduced a foreign substance to organic matter, it's not a good thing but right now, I want my teeth pearly white. They make you look younger.

 Nice choice of car, LM.  What color is it?  Are you not planning to keep it for a long period of time?

I just got back from swimming in our neighbor's pool.  I feel so relaxed.  I could nap now.  :)

Well, the storage room is kinda fixed.  He had a few minor things to do that would take another week but we said "No way!  I want to be home."  (I could only take so many days at mom's) So, landlord agreed to complete it when we move out some time next year.

Hey purelife!  Glad to hear you're almost back to normal at home.

  Swimming must have been great.  What a perfect night for it.

  My car is red.  I don't think I'll be keeping it much past the summer.  But...it was a great deal, it gives me transportation for now while we figure out what to do with the other car-- which is pretty much fracked.

  Which brings me to an interesting ethical dilema.  I don't lie to people.  But I'm tempted...really tempted...to patch up my original car and sell it.  Without lying.  I have service records and receipts up the ying-yang which document the amount of work which has gone into this car.  I KNOW there is design flaw, inherent to most Subarus, which will never be fixed.  That being said, most everything else is in great shape...and, um, maybe there are people out there who don't mind replacing the head gaskets every 70,000km but that person ain't me.  I suspect the heads may also be cracked/warped.

  So...would I be a bad person if I withheld this information to the buyer?

I won't lie...but if they don't ask, I won't volunteer it.

Heya purelife. Swimming is excellent for you. I swam like crazy during pregnancy. Easy on the back and so forth.

  LM. Well..... you wouldn't be lying technically if you worded it differently. You know, like patching up could mean 'almost like new' or 'fresh new look'. I mean, c'mon.... people do it all the time in order to sell something.

  Tough question Lil Me.  I know for certain I could never be a salesman. I'm not sure about the ethical dilemma...but I'd look into the possibility of legal backlash.  As far as I know, car purchases done off the lot are considered 'As Is'.  Not sure though.

Maybe you could say that the car is in mint driving condition, Lil Me?  That way, the person buying the car will know that there are going to be some hefty repairs.  There are some people out there who are really mechanically-inclined or know cheap mechanics to fix any car trouble who won't mind buying a car that constantly needs repairs.

I watched Seven Pounds last night.  What an AWESOME movie.  I highly recommend this.  I'm going to watch it again because I didn't pay too much attention in the beginning.

She's from Saskatoon, and was like yeah totally lets skip school on the idea of me wanting to see the hinterland. Me, I did the oh noes we don't (miss school), I must go to every class, god forbid with those international tuition fees, I'm not made of money, I drive a Ford etc. lol

How many more years do you have, SD? I know.... the students always complain about tuition fees and I don't blame them. Most can't wait to get out and start earning so they can pay back. Kinda scary to think how  much it cost me to send the kids to university. Maybe I'll should start buying lottery tickets every week.

  We had lunch at the Sage Bistro. It was OK. Butternut squash with some kinda green oil followed by hallibut with risotto and finished with green tea passionfruit cake. The cake was not the best. Sounds fancy but I would have preferred a cup of fruit.

I've technically got 2 and a half left of undergrad 2-3yrs of graduate, but it'll be 3 because a couple classes I must take only fall in the spring term.

The work immediately after crowd is science/engineering, Arts students know the stuff they're studying is pointless and end up going to graduate school immediately following or go into law.  I have to go to grad school and specialize in something or I'll go nowhere in life and be homeless person.  

This specialization might be rather redundant and a waste of time as well or sheer brilliance, as I haven't decided yet if I'm throwing my life away by specializing in transportation planning. I'm not taking the Gordon Campbell developer route because I just don't wake up in the morning and think of tract of houses but trains and metros.

I'm such a dork, me and my transportation.

White sticky rice equals simple carbs therefore bad for you. It's better to go with basmati rice. Congee is made from sticky rice and lots of water. The combination is not very healthy especially if you're diabetic. When I had gestational diabetes, I had a bowl of congee and my sugar level reading was close to 10. Normal range goes from 6 to 7. That's how bad it was.

  However, once in a blue moon congee is OK.

What a day yesterday!!  I had to rush to the hospital yesterday afternoon.  I was experiencing excruciating pain in my lower right abdomen and back.  This pain lasted for almost 12 hours, non-stop.  The doc there thought I had to get my appendix out and THANK GOODNESS that it wasn't that.  After the shot of morphin and gravol, I slept and the pain went away.  After the ultrasound, they found out that I had a right ovarian cyst that was probably leaking fluid which would've caused the extreme pain.  Thank goodness the pain went away because they would've had to do surgery on me which isn't good for baby.  I was praying that I didn't have an appendix problem and I didn't have to stay longer than a night.  I'm just resting now.  I was so freaking scared... :(

    Holy CRAP purelife.  How terrifying that must have been !!

  I'm SHOCKED that they would give morphine to a pregnant woman.  Is this normal ????

OMG. I'm so shocked at what happened to you, PL!! Thank goodness you're OK and I can breathe a little easier. Please take care not to exert yourself too much and rest.

  I think they're not supposed to give you morphine (or any drugs) when you're pregnant on account of the baby's health but sometimes they have outweight what is best when the situation arise. I tried not to take any medication (other than my daily folic acid) during pregnancy -- even cough mixture was a big no-no.

  At any rate, I'm just happy PL is OK. *phew*
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jun 20 09 09:05
The Doc said that morphine was ok.  So, I got home Friday and then the pain comes back in the late afternoon.  It happened all night long and this time, it was worse and I went to the hospital again today where they again injected me with morphine, which at the second time around, didn't help at all.  I'm at home now but can barely walk.  Doc said that if pain grows any stronger, then they have to do an emergency MRI.  They still haven't been able to determine if it could be the appendix or if the cyst has ruptured from the two ultra sounds I've had already because uterus is pushed up against appendix and the ultrasounds aren't that accurate.  At least the blood work (3 times) came back ok.

I'm still in pain as I type this and just have to bear it, but if it gets worse, off to the hospital but I really don't want to go that route.  I've been to the hospital far too many times last year and this year.  Please let this be the last one before giving birth.

Greek was the name of the day. I had a Greek salad for lunch and dinner. lol
I went to Metrotown.

Greek Day in Kits looked great, but when I got there at 8pm they were shutting it down. Come on Vancouver, this is getting pathetic, 8:30pm cut off for food (9:30 for music) is rather lame and ahem no fun. Even in pathetic St Louis all street events went to 11 or 12.

I think Burnaby is the fun city, Europe day went to 1am. At least someone in the area has a brain. lol

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

 Yeah, because I don't like Blago from Pt. Grey.

I would go, but only times when I know he wouldn't be there. Thankfully if judging his career as mayor, he can't find East Van on a map so I think I'm good. lol

Creeps me out enough that he stalks this campus living in his condo.


In general its a golden rule of mine is to avoid politicians in public places. I know why they show up to these events, and all of my friends are the political partisan geeks who want to talk to them (both liberals and ndp and conservatives for that matter).  It gets to the point where I know them in person already, I've had my 1hr long chats with them about whatever, they recognize me on the street, but they're not my friends so there's no reason to talk to them to make yourself look good.

Basically I have a life and I don't need to have my picture taken at every event and post it on facebook.

Example:

"No man, I don't care about (insert mla who is standing in the corner) we're at an after party for DOXA at the Vancouver Art Gallery, , I have a life and am going to find a friend and talk about art and films."

and sure enough not 15 seconds later a friend who is a filmmaker taps me on a shoulder whom I didn't see and we talk about the doc we saw and our love for Fassbinder.

for all the political groupies I know who think of themselves greatly, none of them actually know how to contact. lol

lol. I'd go but it could potentially ruin the evening depending on the friend or better yet whomever I run into (hacks have massive gawker skills) . The groupies or hacks on all sides are annoying.

If I went with a friend, they'd go 'oh look such and such lets go and talk to them' - SD annoyed
If its Gordon Campbell- annoyed face not finding his lame socially awkward dancing on stage hilarious


I mean the hacks are quite possible insane (and they're friends mind you) whenever we're at meetings its "i don't like him/her" (because he/she's a conniving egomaniac who happens to be a liberal or something). I'm like "I don't see what's wrong with (insert name) he's a bit of a geek for sure, but that doesn't mean to dislike the person just because he doesn't necessarily agree with you."

Hi everyone!

Feeling much better and got home last night from being at mom's.  There was a suicide attempt on the bridge and no car could cross it so it created a huge traffic nightmare!  I think the lady didn't end up jumping which was good to hear.  I hope she's ok.

Thanks for the link to the greek festival, Lise.  I remember driving by there before but never got out of the car to enjoy it.  I love greek food and can't wait to check it out.  It's probably better and more entertaining than the two night markets we have right now.  

Have a great weekend everyone.  I'm happy that we had that huge downpour.

It would have been fun if we went to a different location each time, but it was always the same place, and the people in group were meta-nerds who had problems socializing.

Had fun on the beach, ate some fresh raspberries and strawberries from the Valley, fresh peas for dinner last night.

Rain didn't start until late last night and stopped sometime during the time we were sleeping.

Back around noon and still putting gear away.

No, why?

Its more of she gives me this note he wrote where it says he'll write back within two days and he doesn't have internet at home and its really thus hard for him to reach her.

She goes he's not writing me, he doesn't love me.

I just copy and paste what he said and reiterate that he cares about her and is feeling the same way about missing her. Then she goes 'but he's not writing' that's where I copy and paste the part of his note that says 'i will reply in 2 days' etc.

Then its her not believing his own words, and for that I don't have any answers as I don't know the guy so I'm just going off of what he wrote thus he sounds reasonable, and also promised within two days that he would have a further response to what she the girl in question was questioning about. Therefore, no need to worry so much and get outside and enjoy the countryside. etc

I'm SOOOOO ticked.  I was at the check-out in the garden center in Walmart...and when I tried to pay with my debit card....it wouldn't work.  I had my sunglasses on my head...and put my reading glasses on to do the debit thing and they started to fall....so I grabbed them and put them on the counter.  Anyways...I said to the guy....I don't know what the prob is with the card...let me just zip inside and grab some cash.  Which I did.

Zipped back to get my stuff which he had put in a buggy....but no sunglasses.  (garden center was DEAD DEAD DEAD by the way. Not another soul in there but me)  So I asked some other person for my sunglasses...cuz the guy that I had just dealt with had gone for a break.  So I waited.  Apparently nobody saw the sunglasses.  I said come on...really?  $400 Maui Jims down the tube.     I'm really bugged...I misplace my glasses more than anyone I know....but I seldom lose things.  And I think I had help with that.(//richedit/smileys/Angry/5.gif)

That's what he'd like you to believe.  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)   I guarantee you....if he had to cook to survive, he'd learn in 3 days...MAX.  

Of all the couples I know, only 2 of the male halves don't cook.  One could, if he wasn't so lazy and the other would...wants to even...but the female won't let him in the kitchen.  Yes...weird.  All the rest share the cooking.  It was 3 males a few months ago, but we all bullied him. Apparently he's been hiding quite a talent....he cooks quite well. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

How sad P.C.... (//forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)  to lose something...HUGZ

Glad to hear everyone had an enjoyable weekend.
Did anyone go to the Greek Fest?  Lise?  SD?  

MrPL can't cook anything fusion or gourmet but the cool thing is that he's willing to learn.  He can fend for himself making omelets, grilled cheese sammiches, noodles, etc but when I'm back home, he really misses my cooking.  I was recently away for a week.

We're still deciding on how to celebrate Canada Day festivities tomorrow.

  Anyhooo.... I was just saying, yes, he's quite the pampered boy. I mean, how can you compete with his mother who lives just below us and cooks him whatever he wants? I've given up on him ever making me a meal but whatever. I eat what I want and don't have to bother making him anything.

  Did not go to the Greek festival, purelife. We had errands to run.

  I think we're planning on heading to the Burnaby Village Museum or Canada Place tomorrow. Everything's free so it should be a blast for the kids.

Nice to have a stat holiday mid-week break!

  MrLM bbq'd corn, zucchini and stuffed "chicken" for dinner, which he found in the freezer  I told him afterwards that it was veggie chicken.  LMFAO.  Costco veggie chicken stuffed with black beans.

  Outside for false fire alarm tonight in the complex.  Went rollerblading.

 

Going to the Canada Day celebration here in the 'hood tomorrow.  Will camp out all day with the chairs and the cooler, have firefighters' salmon BBQ for dinner and watch the fireworks.

Tomorrow I'll try to go to work. Maybe I'll take a few day off in a week or two. No need to wait for stupid BC day after all. I've met someone online who supposely can show me 4 or 5 pictograph sites that are unrepertoriated as  far as I know, and even some unknown to the nearest First Nations group. So this could be interesting. His grandmother has build a regional museum and they would appreciate help with pictographs explanations of their area and photography for their museum. Supposely she knows more place than him[/span]

Home from the community Canada Day celebration.  Arrived just as the opening ceremony was finishing and stayed until the fireworks.  Firefighters' BBQ salmon for dinner- nice plate of salmon, salad, a potato and bun for $8- proceeds to the Burn Unit.  I shared a plate with Jeckyl.

  I got lazy and didn't bring the chairs, so my @$$ is sore from sitting on the ground for 10 hours.

  But fun times with friends and neighbours, and great live music.

Hi everyone.

Got a question for everyone.

Is it unreasonable to ask your Landlord to get a better control of their almost 3 yr old boy who just LOVES to run and jump on the hardwood upstairs?  MrPL has asked them politely to stop the running because one time, the kid caused one of our picture frames to come off the wall.  It would be dangerous if we had a baby.  All the landlord could say was "Wait until you have a kid!"  Oh, I couldn't believe he said that.  They also have another boy who is going to turn 1 in a few months.  There will be no doubt that the both of them will be stomping, jumping and running around.

We are excellent tenants for them, super quiet who don't even crank up our music with the loud base and I know other tenants do that.  We could crank our music with the base but we chose not to because we respect them upstairs.

Your feedback is appreciated because I'm thinking of giving Mr. Landlord a mouthful but I don't want to be out of line.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jul 02 09 08:08
It's not unreasonable to ask your landlord to control their children because you are expecting a wee one on the way, IMHO. However, choose your words carefully and don't get too angry or frustrated if things do not go your way. Remember that when your baby arrives, the landlord family will have to put up with the noise so you might want to consider choosing your battle ground.

  Either case, just make the landlord aware that you would really appreciate if they can just tell junior to settle down a bit. Just until baby has settle down and things are more in control.

  Good luck!

Post by: P.C. on Jul 02 09 08:17
 
Oh purelife....I feel your pain.  

Having said that...in my opinion, I'm not sure it would be wise to complain about the landlords children.  I just take it as the downfalls of apartment life.  I don't think I would have said 'Just wait until you have a kid'...but to a certain extent, I couldn't imagine restricting a child from moving in the way children move.  I know for me, that was about the time I moved away from apartment life.  It was a constant worry to be sensitive to the people below me.

I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear....so remember, that's just one person's opinion.  

Maybe you could buy them a nice cushy rug ?  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)

Post by: purelife on Jul 02 09 08:33
I'll buy them carpet!  LOL.  

Thanks for the feedback ladies.  I just can't wait to move out in a place all to ourselves.  

I know that they are trying to get a better control of their little one.  They tell me that when they tell their wee one to stop because people live downstairs, he goes jumping and running even louder and harder.  *sigh*  I'll see how things go.  They are great landlords and we are great tenants too.  We don't want to jeopardize the relationship.  There are many things that I just bite my tongue about because I don't want to make anyone's life hard.

It's a tough situation for those above and those below.  I'm not sure which is worse.  We were really lucky in our apartment in North Van.  The suite that was on the bottom floor (from the front) but one story up from the back....had a HUGE balcony.  It covered the parking area in the back.  We had a swingset out there, a sandbox, her bicycle, potted trees.  It was awesome.  Best possible case scenario for kids and apartments.  Loved that place...as far as apartments go....but wasn't sad to trade for a house with a yard.

I hope it works out purelife.  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Love/1.gif)

Hey everyone!

  purelife- I feel your pain!  I remember what it was like being pregnant in the summer.  I didn't get dizzy, but I did get heat rash and used a ton of Gold Bond that summer.

  Hang in there with respect to the apt.  You have a lovely place there.  

  *sighs* I'm quite familiar with the subject of noise complaints.  Here's the official line: I have alot of them come across my desk here in the complex.  As long as everyone is quiet by 10pm (music turned down, appliances off, kiddies in bed), and the noise isn't "excessive", people are within their rights to make regular "living" noises.  The unofficial line: there are a lot of jackasses who stomp around in workboots, toddlers who play Hot Wheels on the hardwood, people who drag their chairs around, and shift workers who argue loudly and have audible sex at 3 am...

  Steak, potatoes, salad and French bread for dinner.  MrLM is off this week, so he's been cooking.  Nice to come home to cooked food.

Thanks Lil Me.  Oh hey, since you've seen our place, how long do you think we can live here with a baby?  We can't turn MrPL's room into a semi-kid room because it's the coldest room and we can't put a heater on carpet and he has a TON of stuff in there.

So baby is going to be in our room for up to a year but then we'll have to move out, right?  I'm just worried about our finances come that time because it might be difficult to pay a few hundred dollars more for rent.   I guess the one year old could sleep on the futon in MrPL's room?  It just won't look like a room.  What do you think?
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lil Me on Jul 02 09 09:13
I think you could live there as long as you wanted to.

Our kids slept in the same room with us for a long time.

  Jeckyl never slept in the crib much.  He wanted to be a big kid, so he slept on a mattress on the floor as a toddler- next to my bed.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jul 02 09 09:18
That's a good idea, Lil Me.  I think our room is big enough for a toddler mattress.  I guess I was panicking about space and had this thing in my mind that we have to move when baby is over a year old because he/she needs own room and such.  I feel better now that I have one less thing to worry about next year.

Don't worry, purelife.

Your baby doesn't read Martha Stewart Living :)

  Btw, I didn't use a change table either.  Didn't have space for one.

I had a basket under my bed which had diapers, wipes and used grocery bags in it.

I'd throw a towel on my bed, change the baby, put the towel in the laundry, bag the diaper and put it in the kitchen garbage.

No change table for us too.  We're just going to get one of those change pads and change baby on the kitchen table.   I think I'm feeling a bit claustophobic these day and someone close told us that they don't visit us too much because our ceilings are so low and they're afraid of bumping their heads on the ceilings. :(

Meh, the kids are still sleeping with us though I very much wish they would sleep in their own room. It's hard to sleep with them tossing and turning. However, I love the feeling of snuggling together tho.

  I never bought a change table. Had no room and didn't see the point in having an extra table for the purpose of changing your kid's diapers. No need for a diaper genie either. Or a rocking chair. Those things are 'nice to have' but not necessary. You should get those changing mats at Superstore, purelife. Works like a charm when baby does a mistake as you're changing on the floor or on the bed.

Baked butternut squash and parsnips with pork chops for dinner with a papaya for dessert.

So, skytrain was packed again and I kindly asked the girl for her seat.  She had an attitude about it and didn't like that she had to give it up for me.  I almost felt bad for asking because I have never asked for a seat in transit before.  I sure hope that people are more friendly.

No young person is nice on transit.
I've talked a lot to older people on buses, they usually find my grocery carrying skills amusing, and I am a people person who always has a smile and is really approachable. lol I'm guessing I'm approachable because whenever I'm walking around people ask me for directions.

I'm guilty of zoning out to the ipod as the rest of them, but come on, we're all mindless robots at this point.

The best was me shouting 'can you help me' (trying to put my bike on the front of the bus) and asking if anyone knew how to do it. 10 people around me and nobody looked or gave a weird look like 'omg he's talking to me.'


So I totally understand pl.

Let me TELL you a funny story about transit. See, I had these incredible high heel shoes on and was running for the bus when smacked, I fell down right in front of the doors. A lady and a gent helped me out and I was red as a tomato. NEVER again will I run for a bus in heels. Not worth it. I still wear heels but I tend to walk a heck lot slower.

  I always, always give up my seat for a pregnant woman, older woman/man or a woman with kids. I don't even think about it. Just do it because I can and because it's the right thing to do.

  I've even helped this incredibly gorgeous guy when he dropped his sunglasses as he was unloading his bike. Just so I could stare into his eyes. Hmmmm.

I've been craving the kind of salmon made with mayo and dill.  

Hope everyone has a great weekend.  We're going to a family bbq and everyone is looking forward to seeing me.  I'm not used to this kind of attention.

Ah, don't worry about it, purelife. I think you look cute enough. Enjoy the attention while you can cuz when baby arrives, everything's going to be about the wee little bub.

  Can't wait to go swimming tomorrow with the kids and friends. Should be a blast!

Everyone is going swimming it seems. I think I'm going to hit the pool tomorrow. I'll be amongst the book stacks as usual, such is my life.

I went my first CFL game. I had fun, I'm trying so hard not to think about school and beyond school, but I can't. lol

Hamilton won, a couple Hamilton fans were in my section and they had the look on their face of Christmas morning. (they won their first game in 2yrs or something, I think, I can't remember if they won a game last year or not).

Walked around BC Place, got concerned, the seat I was in has been broken for 7yrs at least. (my buddy has had season tickets for that long in the same section)

And Canadian sports venue food (from what I've come across) really sucks. Where's the imagination? I had popcorn and a diet pepsi, at a football game.

Overall, minus the really bad food that I've come to expect now, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I had the usual nachos with a beer which is my lame college food staple. I don't even have the urge to eat nachos, its just that for the value and quantity, a half sized nacho and a beer costs the same or is cheaper than a burger and beer.


I'm bummed, my sista from the east east side just left me, she flew back to Iran and she graduated. I don't know what to do with myself. :(  I know she'll be back, her bf/fiancée is at MIT (phd incredible) in Boston and she loves America so, I'm thinking road trip through the states sometime or Christmas at my house. lol

Suicide rates are highest among university aged people and they always commit suicide in the summer. Totally debunking the SFU myth of the mountain in the rain. (UBC actually has more suicides on average than SFU, yet SFU gets the stereotype).

Are you staying here or going back to the states on your b'day?
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 11 09 09:48
 Staying here. I've got finals to do. I leave on the 25. Then leave on the 26th and arrive on the 28th in Florida (driving). lol

I'll be in the midwest most of august and then around the 25th I'll probably start heading back here via driving. A friend lives in Winnipeg and then goof ball lives in Saskatoon. I needed someone to banter with on the way to Vancouver so she fits the bill. Besides she'll be bored anyway.

Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Drumheller, Calgary, Banff, Glacier National Park, Revelstoke, some wine in kamloops, and then take the entire stretch of sea to sky from Lilooet down to Vancouver and see Pemberton and Whistler.

that's my 'summer' in a nutshell. I am the wheelman as usual.

Trying to avoid the major highways in Canada to get a feel or real Canada or where life passed them by when they built that one highway. lol (although I'm actually skipping that part). No chain hotels or motels, and no chain eating places.


The route I have going through Saskatchewan is mainly rural secondary highways that are really just roads. I love that.

Well, for your b'day, I recommend you do a hike. Go up a mountain or something. Elfin Lake is awesome if you don't mind the 3 hours hike there. Or something a little easier but the view is fantastic - Dog Mountain, Seymour Provincial Park.

Queen Elizabeth Park although the other slang is QE2 or QE2P. QE2 reminds me of the ship and the highway in Ontario so I don't say the 2 part lol.

By the time we leave the house (probably after making two trips back to the house cuz we forgot something) I get into a very bad mood and cranky.

I think I had a major panic attack (for the first time ever) that felt like a heart attack, anyway the chest pains are still with me so I'm going to the hospital.

its been roughly 2-3 months since my concussion so judging by medical history in Canada, my time was up for another visit to a hospital. So frustrating I can't go a yearly quarter of a year without an IV stuck in my wrist.

Hai!  Welcome home Russ, Happy BDay SD and good luck with the bunny hunt, P.C.  Will there be Hossenpheffer on tonight's menu?!  Just kidding.  I love bunnies.  I'd love to get one- though I think it would need an outdoor bunny hutch, as I've been told that an indoor bunny is quite noisy with all the scratching and playing all night long.

  Quiet in here.  I've been away from DS due to work, a wedding last weekend (3 days of Indian buffet!), rollerblading around Stanley Park- followed by the car breaking down at the corner of Denman and Davie.  Got the car towed home, changed clothes and ran out the door to the wedding reception.  MrLM had the alternator replaced a few days ago- mechanic didn't want to do it, because it was charging fine the next morning and the mechanic knows we want to trade-in the car soon...mechanic thought it was a random overheat with the wiring.  But..MrLM told him "My wife will be PISSED OFF if it breaks down again, so please fix it".  He's right, lol.

  Been truck shopping.  Probably in the market for a 2005 or newer 1/4ton quadcab.  Low km.  Shortbox would be nice.  Test drove a Colorado/Canyon- cramped interior, odd rattling and vibration.  Test drove a Dakota- nice truck, not a lot of backseat legroom, wary of low reviews.  I'm more partial to the Silverado 1500-- nice cab, lots of room.  MrLM is hunting around for a deal on a Nissan Frontier.  We both like the Tacoma, but can't justify spending that much money on a used truck...      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 16 09 12:27
Hey Lil Me.  

Funny you should mention the Tacoma.  We also have been rethinking.  Toyota is offering NO incentives....which was part of our stalling.  The difference between the Tacoma and the Ford Ranger is 11 grand.  ELEVEN GRAND.  They can keep their Tacoma.

How was the wedding ?
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 16 09 12:30
Also, about the bunny thing.  They are not only noisy for indoors, they seriously stink.  Unless you clean their hutch every 7 minutes.

Oh why thank you so much PC. *hugs* :))))) *blows out candles*

Russ- Germany is next summer for finishing my language credit. It seems expensive but German Summer School is cheaper than taking 2 classes in the summer on international fees are ridiculous, and that's not counting rent, which is also high. Besides, next year is the world cup and then the Tour de France. Also, I'm lucky to have a friends in the east of Holland and Hungary.

I've decided to go on the 'german phd student at ubc undergrad course load.' I don't care if places of U of T believe that finishing in 4.5-5yrs means 'part time.' lol The germans on campus are more bookish and on average took 6yrs to finish.


PC- You haven't bought the truck? Ford in the next few years is going to remodel (finally its going on 15yrs if I remember correctly) the Ranger.

No...we haven't bought the truck.  (you mean the Tacoma ?)  We were waiting them out, but they won.  Tacoma is out.  Too much.  Toyota is not interested in budging an inch.  They have offered incentives over the last few months on everything BUT the Tacoma.

The wedding was fun.  The funniest part about it was that MrLM and my boss were sent on a last minute shopping trip for the groom.  Stoopid git forgot to pack condoms on his own wedding night.

  I had no idea that bunnies were so stinky indoors.  Thanks for the FYI!  I guess you're going to tell me the same thing about a pygmy goat.  LOL      
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jul 17 09 05:54
Condoms ?  Wedding night ?  




Yes bunnies stink....a LOT.  They stink outdoors too.  We had a bunny growing up.  Dad built a deluxo hutch for it, with a floor that allowed the poops to fall through to a removable tray.  Anyways....conscientious cleaning didn't help the aroma.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Lise on Jul 18 09 07:55
LOL on the condom business. That's hilarious!

  Oh ja, bunnies stink to high heaven. Whenever we take the kids to Maplewood Farm, I absoutely refuse to go into the hutch on account those bunnies look like something out of this world plus they're incredibly stinky.

  Girl's night out tonight. I can't wait. No kids, no hubbies, no boyfriends.... should be nice and relaxing for a change.

'cuse me Mandela,  John Glenn, Steve Forbes, Richard Branson, Nick Faldo, Dick Button, and Ricky Skaggs want to do their usual happy birthday conference call. They've all been kind of downers since Thompson killed himself. We've been lacking a comedian since Skelton died and we lost Henri Salvador last year so now Ricky lost his jam partner. We don't like including Vin Diesel and Jack Layton as they always talk about themselves.  The past few years I've been trying to push for Kristen Bell, M.I.A.,  and Mélissa Theuriau to be welcomed into the call, but Branson and Faldo are notorious womanizers so its best they stay away for now.

Well, ended up changing the timing belt and water pump on Starfishies brother's car. What a pain. At least its done though. He seemed to hint at his friends needing it as well. I kinda was firm and descriptive on my no.

Dinner was at a local restaurant.. it was the worst dinner weve ever had there. The pasta's that Starfishie and my brothers gf had were the shits. I tasted hers and wouldnt eat it even if I was hungry. I had the meatlovers pizza of course.

Tomorrow, Im going to play around with making my own solar heater for the pool.

And they wonder why restaurants have a hard time achieving success.  It's cheaper in the long run to comp an unsatisfied customer.  Chances are people are more likely to give them a second chance as opposed to crossing them off their list, plus the negative 'advertising' they will get from an unhappy customer.  As for not offering anything else, that's just poor waitressing skill.

Well, I went out to get some chemicals for my pool.. and most places are sold out as they are already clearance items! I might end up buying the saltwater kit from wally world as they say thats the best thing now.. cheaper and easier in the long run than using chlorine and stuff.

Our neighbor's pool is saltwater as well.  They say that it's cheaper and easier to maintain and way better than chlorine.  And the smell isn't as strong as chlorine.  I'm loving it. :)  I hope you get your hands on them before they're all sold out.

I haven't seen Michel around these days.  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)  I miss him.

Evening everyone.  I'm home drinking dinner.  Bottle of white zin made by my Father-in-law.  I'm trying not to think about the fact that he doesn't wash the bottles, and that he has hygiene issues.

  Crazy afternoon.  The boss is sick.  The sales team is having a pissing match with a supplier over a $1,000 invoice and there was a lot of yelling and name calling in the office this afternoon.  Not the easiest working environment. lol.

Evening....

Old age is setting in as I can no longer do the eat nachos and then 35mins later hit the treadmill for 15mins at a super high incline and resistance and sustain the same high speed. Heart burn and chest pains. tums tums tums.
185 heart rate apparently


Lil Me, sounds like when the boss doesn't show up it turns into a shit show.  I'm thinking that doesn't bode well for the group

LOL, yeah if I get a heater together. I will see about having some people over for a que and a pool. Its now on the lower list of things that need to be done..

Quick summertime meal.  No muss, no fuss and yummy as all get out.

A couple turkey drumsticks or thighs. (thighs are best, but drums are cheaper)
Wrap in foil with a couple dots of butter and seasons
Start in 350 oven for 10 minutes
Turn down to 275 to 300 for a couple hours.
Open up foil about half hour before ready to eat and drain of liquid and replace with BBQ sauce.
Seal back up and throw back in the oven.

Grill some buns, and load up with BBQy turkey.  Add a salad.
DEEEEELISH.

*tender like crock pot, but without the 'stewed' texture.

Yummy turkey.  Thanks for the tip, P.C.  Though I'd put them on the BBQ.  Try to avoid the oven these days as the interior temp is already like a blast furnace.

For the summer, I use my convention oven.  I like making fried chicken, pizza, baked salmon, pork chops, fries, veggies in the lil oven.  I find the big oven too hot.  For side dishes, I make salads, potatoes, mashed turnips or butternut squash or just eat raw veggies with dip.  

What I love these days is salmon with lots of dill and mayo on top.  Bake at 375 for 14 minutes.  I buy the frozen fillets, 4 for $5.  
You can also take a piece of chicken breast, slit it and add in homemade pesto and then wrap it in prosciutto.  Then bake.
I also take a piece of steak and to turn it into 2 portions, I seran wrap it, then beat it flat with a frying pan, then fry.  Add bbq sauce and put on a bun with whatever fixins.

Just some ideas for you Miss Lise.  I also don't like to stand in front of the stove for a long period of time so I find ways to shorten that time.

Yummy.  I was already running late for a meeting when I stopped to make a salami sammy for dinner.  After that was done, I came home to drink dinner.  Malibu Mango Lassi!  I think I just invented it.  Canned mango pulp, plain yoghurt and malibu rum.

  MrLM traded in the car (aka Overheatmobile) that was developing a new problem every week.  He's happy with his Nissan Titan now.

  Tentatively sold the ski box and racks.

We were undecided until this week.

Tell Mr Sawdust that price was the overwhelming consideration.  MrLM found a truck with 20,000km on it and the balance of factory warranty....for about the same price as some of the high mileage junkers.

Good one!
I really agree. I wouldnt buy a new vehicle cause of the high cost of it.. I been looking at vehicles a few years old. Wouldnt consider a brand new one cause of that.
However, I might change my mind on a black SRT 8 Challenger... Im not allowed to go to a dealership or carshow without Starfishie.

Well, Im about to continue with cleanup, packing, and hacking up some sirloin tips into steaks.. Im going to attempt to use my meat grinder attachement as well. Does anyone add anything to the grindup stuff so the ground beef is flavoured?

It's a biggie for us too.  But the initial costs aren't all there is to consider.  For example, the Ranger's mileage is only ever so slightly better than their full size 8 cyl F150.  That's crazy.  The Ranger is also more to insure and isn't even close in fuel efficiency as the Tacoma.   I wonder if we could just win one.  Or maybe free fuel for life....or maybe just the lottery.  [img style="width: 15px; height: 15px;" src="/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif[/img]

 Everyone has a different criteria for their vehicles, and they are all good. I do 80% of my driving at 120km/hr and see way too many critters or their remains every day so safety is getting bigger for me and the Taco has the stability and traction control as well as side &amp; head curtain airbags. None of the other small pickups do. Also I don't do the buy/sell thing really well so we will have it for 10 years and I don't want to knock off 2 or 3 years of it's life by getting an older one. Like P.C. said operating cost are big. Over a 10 year period a Ranger would cost $7,000 more and a Frontier about $2,000.

Evening Fellow DS'ers!

Yes, was it ever hot today.. it encouraged me to install the other AC unit I dilligently bought last year during the heat wave for my living room.. I of course got motivated today midday to install it. Well, after many cold beers from the freezer and two dips in the pool to cool down.. I had it installed with the help of a buddy around 6 pm this evening.. when everything was getting cooler.. of course, lol.

I also went to 7!?! Places until I found a place that still had saltwater fishing lisences in stock. I didnt call ahead cause they kept sending me on.. and on. I like a fool kept going as well. I am S-M-R-T.

Hey Russ!  LOL another Russ adventure.

  Anything new going on?

  I've just been working my 2 jobs.  Though we did have a fun weekend.

  Took Heckyl and Jeckyl and friend to waterslides at Splashdown on the weekend.  Fortunately MrLM is not a city boy and saw the storm coming.  Got the kids out of the water and were headed home before the rain started.  Then had quite the evening of thunder, lightening and monsoon.  Went into work to finish 2nd quarter GST until about midnight.  Tired.  Scraped my rice rocket in a parking-related incident coming home :(

  Sunday was annual family picnic at Stantley Park.  Good times.

  MrLM and Heckyl and Jeckyl left today to go visit grandparents on the Island.  So I'm glorioulsy home alone!  Finished GST for my home biz and sweating.  Time for another Bud Lime.

Hey y'all SD here from South central gulf side Florida aka the hidden gem of Sarasota. lol  (nobody goes here, no college kids from spring break, its got the best rated public beach in north america, and its cheap, not trying to sell you on anything, but... its family friendly and europeans holiday here in august before going back as nobody bothers them... just food for thought...)

Today it was apparently warmer in Vancouver then it was here. Oh well, I'm 20m from the ocean (literally, the patio wall is a hurricane ready wall) , sooooo I think I have you beat.  ;)))
Hopefully high tide doesn't sweep me out to shore, or its helllloooo houston.

well I'm going to run the beach in a few. need sleep.

oh and southerners still can't drive. Going 95mph in the two fast lanes isn't as cool as I thought it was when I was driving at 18 down here. I've got future kids and family to think of, can't risk it. I'm perfectly happy getting passed in the slow lane at 80mph (speed limit is 70)

Evening everyone!

HOT HOT HOT....even dipping myself in the pool doesn't cool me off anymore.  

I had a really nice weekend.  We had my brothers and their g/f's over for a swim next door and then made dinner.  It was hot cooking but it was all worth it, cooking for family.  The tall fan in the kitchen blowing at high speed helps. :)

I have so many medical appointments coming up in August....4, so far.  I've never had that many in one month!

  Well, I have to pull the plugs on my Tahoe, check the timing, and also possibly change the heater/cooler control unit (some sort of big black thingy with coolant running through it under the hood and pipes sticking out at all angles). My buddy is borrowing it to tow his boat up to the interior while im away.

Im heading up to rivers inlet tomorrow for a week.. fishing! We tow the boat to port hardy(northern point of vancouver island), launch, then run across back to the mainland.. about a 3 hour run by boat to where we are going.
Heres a link showing the Bella Bella region.. Rivers inlet is somewhere down the mid right.

Hi everyone!  Hope it was a great long weekend.

  MrLM and I have been in organizing mode.  TOO MUCH JUNK around here!

  Did take a break and went hiking in Squamish yesterday.  Dinner at the Marina Grill in NV on the way home.  Love the deck- hadn't been there in years.

  Today was more organizing and cleaning, plus sleeping, reading, groceries.  Dinner was beer can chicken and corn on the BBQ- pasta with fresh tomatoes.

Heya everyone!  Wassup?

  I've been away from DS due to work.  Worked late most of last week because Heckyl and Jeckyl were away with grandparents.

  Spent most of yeaterday moving junk around and running errands.  Changed battery in the truck after the 3rd jumpstart of the day.  Then Heckyl and Jeckyl came home.

  Went to Playland today.  Still feeling slightly_motion_sick due to spinny rides.  Kids had fun.

  Getting ready for the next week.  Ack.

Back from Loon Lake past Cache Creek tonight. I got home from rivers inlet and went right up there at 6 am the next morning.

I had a craving for samosas from this corner store in Richmond but there was no way I could get there.  :(

Dinner is chicken drumsticks, zucchini and tomatoes.  

If anyone is interested in the PNE, VanCity is offering its members $5 entrance fee on Tuesday August 25.  One member can bring a guest where each pays $5.  Here's the link:  https://www.vancity.com/News/PNE/.  A great deal but too bad we're busy that day.

Barfi or burfi (Hindi: बर्फ़ी) is a sweet from the Indian subcontinent. Plain barfi is made from condensed milk, cooked with sugar until it solidifies. Other varieties include besan barfi, made with besan (gram flour), and pista barfi, which is a milk barfi containing ground pistachio nuts. The name is derived from Persian barf which means snow since barfi is similar to ice/snow in appearance.

I like the description of EI food with barf.

Well, Ive got the crock pot goin again with ribs. Ive also decided to do some beef dip with teh remains of the roast that I did from last night. With sneezer salad and garlic bread..
Todays breakfast was coffee until the kitten decided to try to drink out of it for the smell of the milk. Man was that funny.. other than me cleaning up the coffee from the couch and carpet.

Oh yeah.. we have a kitten here now. Grey thing.. small, really social, and likes to attack my feet.

Well, we are planning to do some moving today.. hopefully its not too bad with teh rain. I heard some thunder earlier.. anyone else?

 You'll do great purelife! Good news in clouds of darkness! (from this big chair anyway)

Thanks purelife for the wishes, it's hard enough dealing with it with an uncooperative fam who doesn't care, and a society about to explode at the same time. 2 grandmas heading for the exits at once, one just giving up on life when she's perfectly healthy and probably would live to 95 or so, and the other who wants to live, but struggles, with a backdrop of 'obama nazi' everywhere and 80yr olds telling me stories at the nursing home about selling their business, life savings, just to afford to stay in the place and medicare wing vs. the 'elite wing' with abusive nurses.

that's just one of about 10 issues right now.

I've been feeling ok... no back pain, no sciatic nerve or leg pain.  The only thing is having some sleepless nights due to thinking too much and not being able to walk too long without feeling that heaviness down there.  

I've just been told that I have gestational diabetes.  Supposedly it goes away after birth but what if it doesn't?  I'm seeing a Nutritionist tomorrow who will teach me how to manage my meals and incorporate exercise.  This is stressing me out.  I thought I was eating ok by staying away from sweets and the high starch content carbs.  I guess I wasn't, but I will do whatever it takes to control this diagnosis as I've read that it's treatable.

And then I spend most of my day researching on the net on this subject to hear the worst news ever.... possibility of stillborn baby due to it not coming out properly because a c-section was too late.

I was just going to say the same thing.  DON'T look up medical concerns on the internet.  You won't find a clear picture on anything...often with views and information that is totally conflicting.  Talk to your doctor about any concerns....not the internet.  I could have any one of 92 fatal diseases according to medical info on the net.  Oh ya.....according to the net, I'm a genius too.  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Seriously....it's so not wise.

  Purelife, gestational diabetes is very common.  My cousin and a lot of my friends had it during the latter stages of pregnancy.  As long as it's identified and monitored, you will be fine.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Aug 14 09 07:43
I dont have a clue what you all are talking about so Im staying out of it or I might get cooties.
PL.. dont worry. Doctors have been known to be right. You will be fine!

SD.. sorry to hear that. Its not easy.. Be there and talk as much as you can around her.

LM.. Im still waiting to hear what you were drinking the other night.

Well. The Ribs turned out Fawesome.. they literally fell off the bones. Im going to do all my ribs this way from now on, in the crock pot.
The Beef dip was great as well! OXO beef sauce for teh dipping with small costco buns and havarti cheese turns out really well.

On another note.. how does everyone do their roasts? I did a double roast the night before to get the beef for the beef dip done. I had done it before on the same day but found it a pain in the ass to cook the roast.. then hack it up with teh meat slicer, as well as prepare all the beef dip stuff.
I bast the roast in olive oil and a few drops of Maggi Sauce.
Then rub some Montreal Steak Seasoning, Fine Diced Garlic, and some Rosemary
I get the oven to 425 and then with the roasts in an open pan on a grate with teh fat up put it in for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes I instal the probe and with the oven at 325 cook it until the interal temp is 118. I then pull it out and let it sit covered in foil. Until Im ready for it.. no longer than 15 minutes if you can.


Im wondering what Im going to do for dinner tonight.. any ideas?
Fish maybe from my fishing trip?

Family BBQ reunion tomorrow out in Chilly wack. Im doing the BBQing Im told. Theres only about 70 people. My biggest audience.. Im going to make sure to bring a cooler of beer and a coffee mug to hide it.
Im actually not sure if you can call it a reunion.. I dont have a clue who any of these people are. But when I met a few of them a little while ago they knew who I was.. my whole life story! I suppose I should reciprocate somehow. lol.

Post by: LM@work on Aug 14 09 08:17
I'm not very good with the oven roasts.  (love them, though!)

I'm going to blame my oven.  LOL.

  I've got a pot roast in the crock pot today.  Browned it in some oil.  Threw in tomato sauce, garlic cloves, wine, thyme branches and the jus from the defrost.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Aug 14 09 05:26
The new ovens make it super easy to do roasts.. I just stick my probe in the roast and set the oven at 325.. with the probe to 118. The oven makes all sorts of annoying beeps when it hits an internal temp of 118 and shuts off. I used to stick a probe in and watch the probe through the door.

I LIKE roasts.. as long as they are juicy enough and not dry (read blood running down my chin). As long as the horseradish is hot enough.

Well, I still have the fish thawing.. they are still too frozen for dinner. So it will be delivery pizza for din din. With dipping sauce of ranch.. of course. lol.

Hey Russ, I also have one of those slow cookers where you stick the probe in and set the temp.  I haven't used the temp feature yet.

How's everyone doing?  Any plans for the weekend?  

I'm feeling much better about having GD.  My results were not that bad either.  I just have to monitor what I eat, which I don't mind at all because I can see it helping me lose the pregnancy weight very quickly.  There are lots of foods that I can't eat anymore like no fruit juices, no sweets, no honey (I have it with tea), no Timmies Iced Capps, ice cream....  They gave me a glucose machine and can you believe that the testing strips for a pack of 100 costs $84 at Shoppers but I was able to find it for $73 (plus tax) at Costco!!  This is very pricey for me right now.  I had no idea I'd have to spend that much money on this.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: 49er on Aug 14 09 08:41
that's pretty expensive....I thought everyone in Canada gets free medical.   I've Type 2 diabetes and my insurance coverage provides 3 months supply of the test strips for free each time I call for refill.  I test myself at most once a week...if only we live in the same city together you could have mine.

I've never understood why people think medical is free in Canada.  It's not free.  I know it doesn't compare to the 'destroy your life' kind of costs that can happen in the States...but something you get a monthly bill for is not free.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Aug 15 09 12:56
I've always called it two-tiered when someone wants to rant at me down here. You have your basic coverage that is being dwindled away by governments and the rest is covered by a second health plan by your employer.

Both countries have the same problem with ERs, which causes the usual "oh my god look at them!" moment down here.
Then, they'll use the waiting list line. It's a 6mth wait to see one of my old specialists down here, when for me, the same person up in Canada, was only 4 weeks and now I can see the person every week, if I wanted. People aren't being smart, because they refuse to actually attain knowledge on the issues.

Elective surgery means not urgent and elective, if the anti-coverage groups trot out someone down here with a horror story, its always someone who couldn't have an elective surgery, a surgery that wasn't serious.

And now the urgent care has become too expensive so only place you can go now is the ER. welcome to the 8hr wait.

Its common sense, if a young person breaks their knee cap tomorrow, they don't require a total knee replacement.

That's not even the 'debate' here, its now about obama nazi and socialism, yet, the people complaining are on medicare usually. Turn off your prophets on the radio and educate yourself. These people won't.

  Oh.

One is not automatically covered by an employer, simply by being employed.  It is optional that an employer might choose to cover.  Even at that, it is still coming out of the employees pay.  Those who are not covered by their employers, are billed monthly.

I know how you feel P.C., I'm consciously aware of it, especially with my hospital visits.  Everyone I know applies for assistance with their premiums, I don't.

I owe a giant iou cheque to the people of bc, the place has invested a lot into me.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Aug 15 09 05:51
 It'll cost us for a family of 3, $108/month and MSP likes to bill us quarterly.  Canadians only qualify for premium assistance of 100% medical paid if they made less than $20,000.  I think those who are on social assistance get their medical paid for as well.  And low income individuals/families qualify for BC Pharmacare for free prescriptions.

I have already used up 1000's of $ already in medical costs.

  Went for bike ride.  MrLM fixed up my old bikes that had been parked for 20 years.  Old skool mtn bikes with no shocks.  LOL.  Thought about jumping a log, but chickened out and went around.

Rode out for pho and ice cream tonight, so it was a good time.

old skool like it yo.

chicken stir fry for dinner, watched tiger woods lose, finally ended the writers block (more like writers avoidance) that's plagued the past week. Just got back from seeing Funny People at the cinema.

tomorrow is the first day of school, and its the first time my mother is going and not one of her kids. (both through k-12) so that'll be weird.

Sandwich wars are tomorrow for dinner. I'm pretty pumped, I know I'll win.

haha indeed. Most of us were quiet the nerds, the goof offs/jocks were on the basketball team. Then again, we always had a chip on our shoulders for being a black team with just four white kids.


A few of my football guys are ministers, a couple went back to teaching at the high school, law school, black magazine promoter, correctional officers, and a guy in Canada. Go figure. We're an odd group of kids, i think that's why everyone was afraid to play us. That and I was the 4th tallest on the team, and one of the skinniest and least built. lol

Okay, let me say it again. lol

It was 7 years ago, and the idea of a 10yr being on 3yrs away, but to silly me 2yrs away (as I think its 2010 already, I need to stop this thinking) anyway. Its not far off, 3yrs is like tomorrow.

So lunch was is the same as breakfast.. the chili I made last night.

I made around 2 gallons of the stuff as I kept adding.. any bits of meat and sausage and WHY that was around for a while in the freezer went in. I have enough for another pot I must admit.. at least its being used however.
Its not as hot as I normally like it.. Starfishie got all mad when she saw me try to put another 1/2 cup of chili powder in it.. she said the 6 jalepeno peppers Id already put in was enough. Luckily she didnt see Id already put a 1/3 of a cup in.

This new cat while is cute and I love it to bits.. is a bit annoying. If he doenst get his way he keeps trying then lulls you into a sence that hes given up when he stops for a while. When he sences that you are distracted he runs by you at 90 miles an hour and does what he wants anyhow. Last night he got by me that way and instead of stopping on the hutch beside me, slid right into the bowl of ice cream I had and was a ball of chocolate. I found it amusing.. and got blamed for it somehow?
Im thinking about leaving part of a bowl of the chili out to see how he reacts to it.

Morning!
Well, we launched in Ladner just past the tunnel and went over to our relatives place on Gossip Island (beside Galiano Island).
Went fishing both mornings and caught nothing.. Starfishie came the second morning and got a bit green. But we did let her reel in the Dogfish we caught.
Dinner one night was chicken breasts, and the next night was Ribs. We went through a number of drinks.. including margaritas with my brothers new toy.. gas chainsaw powered blender.

Datsun has discovered my fishtank. He sits there perched on the 1.5 inch lip around the tank stand and tries to first pop his head into the tank to get the fish which seems to daze him for a second when he mashes his face on glass.. then tries to paw the fish.. he at times hits so hard with his paw he unbalances himself and falls to the floor. Repeat. Repeat. I dont think he has figured out what a window is yet. He still tries to jump out the front window from our bay window area and seems puzzled when he gets stopped in midair.

Morning SD,
Freshwater or Saltwater? Also what are you fishing for..

For the Saltwater one, mine says 22.05 for Cdn, and 106.05 for Non Cdn
If you want any type of salmon you need the sticker as well which is 6.30.

I hate the fact you cant use barbed hooks anywhere anymore. Lose the fish too damn easy.


Freshwater you can get completely online and print out. Saltwater you have to go in.

Westbridge I think its called. The powers at be have decided over the past decade to turn campus into a retirement end of life centre. They've built a condo village next to the UBC farm (South Campus south of 16th) predicated and designed for 60 and over crowd. (all the billboards are with older people in mind).

It all started a few years ago with the Retirement Centre next to where Gordon Campbell lives, and now they're going to build a Hospice Centre next to the noisiest first year dorms.

This is UBC.

Evening Russ, SD and Lil Me.  I don't remember the last time we had so many of us at the same time.

I've heard about the opening of SOF at the UBC.  About a month or so ago, SOF opened in New Westminster.  It's so SMALL!!

I'm feeling great overall, Lil Me.  I've been a light sleeper lately and sometimes, get tired throughout the day.  Walking is slowly becoming more and more uncomfortable every week......  That's about it.  The only thing I'm worried about is delivering a BIG baby.

Quiting isnt worth it. It might feel like it, but dont be too sure thats the answer.. it will start a chain reaction you wont recover from too easily.

Well, dont know what lunch will be but Ive got a new project (other than the damn toy thats now sitting at precarious angles in my backyard).. Im going to build a UDS! he he. Im trying to find parts for it now.. only thought about it for the last few weeks and suddenly decided to get er done for this next weekend.
The drum Im going to use is from a project I started getting stuff together for then got sidetracked. The other project was for the one that Van Guy and myself were pondering.. the solar water heater. I didnt continue cause I wanted a clean drum not a painty drum like what VG had found.. then I got a few metal drums for free and then thought it would be a bad idea to have water constantly in a clean metal drum.. lol.

So its now headed for a UDS

It's not so much quitting, but the reality that 3wks in the summer have altered my life forever and ruined everything I aspired to.

thanks guys. :)))
I'm on the mends, writing seems to be therapeutic.
That and reading about European Identities and what is Europe.

I still think universities could do the first couple of weeks better for the fall term. Nobody's adjusted and to then they throw a bunch of stuff at you, plus job openings, trying to manage the new schedule, running clubs, settling in etc. It seems detrimental to the university experience that is first week or second week for that matter. Nobody has a routine until the 3rd or 4th week and by that time comes the midterms. lol

SD you got to establish your priorities....you are no longer in high school or a junior college.  Demands are higher and competition are stiff in a ranked university.  Is it more important to you to particpate in the university experience by running clubs, etc. or get an education to begin your career?  Some people are fortunate and can do both fully but if you are in field of study where it takes up a lot of your time to keep up then its time to give up something.

Universities no longer just want you to focus on school. Grades aren't the be to end all they once were.

Everyone's right. 49ers correct that I've got to focus on school. I'm no longer in my first couple of years of university, so I can't do the pub crawls etc on the weeknights. (i've never understood that about ubc, all the 'drink nights' are during the weekdays and not the weekend, kinda seems backward, anyone know why it is this way? It doesn't make sense).

Then at the same time, this is the time to get involved, get active, become a more well rounded individual. (depending on the faculty you'll have more time then others. Engineers for example on average have really no free time) Just getting good marks in Arts doesn't really cut it anymore. If 50 people apply for 5 spots in grad school with the same grades, you've got to stand out from the others.

you are correct....post graduate admissions will take into account your participations in other activities.  From my experience I found that in my junior and senior years I had more time to participate because the upper division courses were more to my interest/liking and less demanding than the required lower division classes....

 Remember schools can put you academic probation if you're not making the grade but have never heard of any school doing it for non participation in a club or society.

 It's all priorities and time management dude!

I honestly didnt try the bobboli crusts before.. We were out shopping to make a pizza and saw them. Figured why not? They were good! Like 5 bucks each. There was two types I saw the thin and normal.. got them both. I liked the normal better than the thin.
I just put olive oil on the bottom of the pizza crust. Then on the top I put tomato paste, hot sauce, and sprinkled Oregano, basil, garlic powder.
I then put the three types of meat that came in one of the no name brand pizza meat packs.. layer of each (I got lazy and decided to get it, I normally buy three sausages of ham peperoni, and salami, then slice them myself). Then a thin layer of mozza, then I put the ground beef (I pan fryed it and added a bit of seasoned salt and cajun spice), onions, green peppers, mushrooms, etc. I then grated the mozza on the top.

Came out good to me. Starfishie even ate a number. We made two.. and next time would have made just one for the two of us.

Anyhoo.. The pork chops sound good! I havent done that in a while now.. could be the dinner for tonight.


When you do salad.. do you chop up your own, or do you buy the mixed/ tossed greens/ organic/ spring mix type thing? I find I have been buying romain lettuce and hacking them up on my own. Soaking the bits in water, and chopping up cucumbers, tomatos to add to it.

  No cooking tonight- school BBQ.

I do the same as you Russ, buying romaine lettuce and prepping it on my own.  I like the mixed greens but we can't eat the whole thing and it often ends up in the garbage.

I had dinner over at my mom's tonight after meeting with my ob/gyn and the GD counselor.  We had fish soup, bean sprouts, steak, tilapia, and green lettuce dipped in the tomato sauce she makes.  yum yum!

A far cry from last night. Egg plant/red onion/humus swiss loreane sandwiches (x2) with the 'faerie beer' (as PC calls it) and BBC World News.

We have this issue around holidays and dinners and such. However Starfishie deals with this sort of thing. Shes more diplomatic about the informing and smoothing of ruffled feathers.
My weekend had a hangover sunday morning, lol. Been a long time since it was that bad! The UDS however worked AWESOME.
I did a southwest style of bbq rub on the pork tenderloin as well as wrap it in bacon, for the chicken I did a mix of montreal chicken and lawrys seasoning salt after rubbing it with olive oil and maggi.

My brother had his tires rotated at Canadian Tire.  He said it was a decent price compared to other places.  Some Midas locations does tire rotations (depends if they have the proper equipment/computer, whatever).  You could also try Fountain Tire and Budget.  Just call around.

You could always complete the oil change yourself to save some money.  Or, use one of those coupons in the Entertainment Book at Lube Oil for a discount.

I was feeling lower right hand side pain everytime this lil one kicks since Friday.  It hurts so bad that I couldn't walk properly and did absolutely nothing on Saturday and just laid on the sofa.  I feel better now with less braxton hicks.  

Today, I did more cleaning and organizing and then went for a quick dip in the pool to ease my muscles.  It seemed to help.

No...the vinegar will not attract other bugs from outside.  Light will....but not vinegar.  

SD...leaving window open will not make you sick.  On the contrary, cutting off fresh air source will make you sick.  You always being sick isn't because your windows are open.  I'm never sick, and my windows and doors are never closed...even in winter.

purelife...I forgot to add...a saucer of vinegar with a couple drops of liquid dish soap will do the trick.  I'm not a fan of killing anything, so if this is an issue for you, you can put the vinegar and soap in a tall container with saran on it and a few holes poked in it.  They will be attracted to it....go in, but they can't get out.  Then you can release them outside once trapped.

Thanks for the tip, P.C.  Do you have an idea of how to get rid of spiders?  They just LOVE my bathroom, especially the bath tub.

For lunch, I stir fried some tofu with eggplant and red lentils.  My first time creation and it tasted pretty good, of course after adding some flavor.

This kind of weather makes me wanna stay home all day long with a blankey on the couch.  

SD - if you're getting sick all the time from the windows/doors being open, (it's not a good thing and I agree with P.C.), perhaps you need a boost of vitamin C and/or echinecea (sp?) to boost your immune system.  I also find that vitamin B100 complex helps when you're stressed.  Just a suggestion.  I'm sure you can't afford to be sick all the time.

Spiders will go where there is moisture.  Try keeping the plug in....but they end up getting discovered in your bathtub, because they can't get out.  I've been using peppermint spray in a few areas where they seem to congregate, and it works really well.

Hello from Italy!

Well, I got a last minute call to do a quick fill in job for a company that I wanted to go to.. So here I am and hopefully it will turn out to be more than a fill in job.

You guys wouldn't believe the big smile on my face last night, proud pains of joy. The guys cleaned up, and the fruit flies disappeared.

And then it hailed.


I realized this morning how old I'm going to be when Rio's 2016 Olympics commence. I didn't feel bothered by the number. Have I defeated ageism? sweet! :) My first reaction was I've got a lot to accomplish. lol

Leftover pasta/sauce for dinner.

  Is anyone else cold?  I'm freezing.

  Went to the US on the weekend and back late yesterday.  Needed to get tires, plus Heckyl and Jeckyl were due for shoes.  Also beer, wine, gas, some groceries, eye drops, underwear, and kid stuff.  It was a good weekend.  And, surprisingly for a road trip weekend, only ate McFood twice!

I thought you felt more like home here.  I guess not anymore, huh?

I'm so tired that I don't feel like cooking.  I'll probably just have an omelet and oatmeal.

My majority of my social group graduated and moved to different continents. It's been slow going to find a 'new' group as I've gotten to the age where I'm tired of attempting to talk to new people (only meet people through friends now) etc (this is quite common in upper years). So I haven't been out and about in the city and factor in where I live (which I particularly loathe) it's not fun.

I've gone weeks without leaving campus. I haven't been downtown at all.


Regardless, there's more trees in the Seattle area. (by this I mean evergreens and other pines). Reminds me of the Island.

And Mt. Vernon has a 'farming feel' re: 'warms the country boy in me' to it. It's autumn, there's orchards and stuff down there. I wish I could find those here, but I've failed thus far. Then in the spring the farmland is all tulips, pretty thrilling.

At home again!

Was a great little trip.. hoping like what others said that the foot in the door will turn more permanent.

I was in Ortona, Italy. I went to a canadian war memorial there.. I will try to find pictures when I find my camera when I unpack.. It takes your breath away how well cared for this site is. Its beautiful.. touching and sad, but VERY well groomed.  Theres a tank in the middle of the town. Apparenty this place was one of the biggest battles for canada in WWII.

Well, dinner last night was my turkey din din.. my parents are over as my dad is getting a knee replacement surgery in a few days. So starfishie and myself are contemplating running away to the island next week during her time off, lol.

Other than that.. i am thinking about homemade burger patties for dinner tongiht. Along with copious amounts of beer..

Welcome back Russ!  I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures when you have a chance.

Morning everyone!  Since I have some energy, I've been preparing frozen meals.  So far, I have two meals of chilli.  Gonna make meatballs and sauce and some muffins to freeze.  Then hopefully, off to Costco to buy the big bag of Kirkland frozen veggies and green beans.

Yes...welcome back Russ !  BTW....what was the weather like there, this time of year ?

What a good idea purelife.  It's good to take advantage of the times when you have the energy...even when you're not pregnant...lol.  There are so many times after working so hard in the yard, or on a project, I just don't feel like cooking.  Freezing up some portions of lasagne or spaghetti sauce or chicken pot pie is perfect for those times.

I wasn't gonna freeze any meals because I was assuming family/friends would come over and lend us a helping hand but I don't know if anyone is going to bring us meals for the first few days.  Nobody mentioned anything. :(  I also miss my car so very much.


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Oct 17 09 10:42
I tried a new recipie ( not the one below but a different one... home made chicken balls shredded chicken pressed into balls they get battered and breaded then  they are deep fried to cook them then tossed in to a pot with bbq and hot sauce tossed liberally to coat well... failed badly... my breading fell apart in the oven.. my batter pooled... perhaps oven baking wont work on the recipe I tried.. but the one following seems like it could be fried or baked and I will try it in the near future..


next time I will use this recipe

Home-made Chicken Nuggets (makes about 40 small balls)

175 grams (about a cup and a half) cooked chicken meat ( author used a mix of dark and light meat) (I will probably use thighs)

1 1/2 slices of whole wheat bread

1 egg

60 ml (about 1/4 cup) chicken broth

1 heaping tsp dried sage (I will probably substitute with chives or green onion)

dash salt

90 grams (about 2/3 cup) bread crumbs for coating the balls
Butter for frying - several tablespoons

Put the chicken, egg, bread and sage in a food processor and process until you have a fine meal. Gradually add the chicken broth, until you have a meat paste that will hold together but is not too moist to hold together. You may need slightly less broth or you may need to add a tablespoon or so of water to get the right consistency; it depends on how dry your chicken meat and bread are. Taste the mixture and add salt as necessary.  See points 1 &amp; 2

( #1. I would not add salt untill after I have cooked it. Then it can be salted to the preference of those eating and not that of the chef. #2 why risk getting sick by taste testing (salmonella from raw eggs is a risk) )

Melt a few tablespoons of butter in a non-stick frying pan until it froths. Using a small teaspoon, scoop out a small amount of meat mixture and form it in a ball. Roll it in the bread crumbs and place it in the butter. Repeat until you have filled the pan with balls. They should not be touching. As the balls begin to brown, turn them to cook several sides. If you get impatient - or they all start getting done around the same time - you can simply give the pan a few shakes to turn them all a bit randomly. Because of the egg, you'll need to heat them all the way through. When they are cooked through, remove to a sheet of paper towel and repeat with the remaining meat paste and breadcrumbs until they are all cooked.

author prefers to fry, I my self wonder what these would be like if oven baked worth considering for sure..

Thank you PL and miss PC for the well wishing back.
Weather is very nice.. not cold but cool at nights and warm during the days. The last day I was there in my two week stint was when it rained.
Other than that.. it was a good time.

Ive never saved up meals like that.. I usually overcook amounts of meals, but they get eaten within the next few days by peoples looking for lunches or midnight snackies. I should really think about that.

Ive never tried making something like that orik.. I will admit, its tempting as I have a deepfryer. I normally buy the french fries or breaded chicken strips or nuggets and then throw them in the deep fryer for ten minutes. Hm.. just thinking I should check my deep fry oil as its been around 8 months since I used it.. and they last for 6 months in the fridge.

Well, dinner last night was good, it was homemade burgers.. with cheese and ham on the patties, and fried onions and mushrooms for topping. I filled my burger, took a bite on the one side and the whole kitten kaboodle came out the other down my front and into my lap. Brilliant.

Tonight I was planning on bbq'd breasts, but starfishie stopped me and informed me we are heading out to a friends for dinner and drinks. So I cant predict what we are eating for dinner.

I don't do the freezing thing too much...mostly because I'm not fond of most foods after they're frozen.  Some things freeze better than others.  (also, I don't have a freezer...and the fridge freezer is not efficient in freezing foods properly)

I regularly do a huge batch of spaghetti sauce and divide it into portions for two.  A great quick meal when nobody's up for cooking.  Lasagna freezes well.  Soups or stews freeze well...but the potatoes in them don't.  I'm always looking for stuff that freezes well.

Tonight we are making bison burgers. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)

Hi Orik, Russ and P.C.

I hope what I made freeze well cuz I don't like freezer burns.  I made some pork meatballs in tomato sauce, chilli and muffins.  I'm a bit skeptic about the muffins.  I just placed them in a ziploc freezer bag and the other meals in rubbermaid containers.  I've never really frozen meals before so hope that I'm doing it right.

You did good, purelife!  Your meals will be perfect, especially since you're planning to eat them within a month or so.

  How you feeling?

  Ran errands and went to work for part of today.  Homemade pizza on easy bake pizza shells for dinner.

  I'm trying not to panic *yet*.  I have so frigging much to do before the end of the month.

little...steps...deep...breath...

A backlog of financials and GST returns for 2 companies.

Strata AGM.

Co-ordinating 2 major fundraisers for Scouts.

Possibly co-ordinating the Remembrance Day parade for the city *gulp*

Parent teacher interviews x2

ADD: purelife, sorry to hear about the loss of your job.  Mind you, the timing was probably good now that you can spend a bit extra time on EI in preparation for the BIG DAY.  It would have really sucked if you had to spend long hours at work all the way until late pregnancy, then to have your work hound you for information/favours/advice etc when you were off on leave.  HUGGGZZZZ.

  This way, you're better prepared, better rested, and taking good care of your health for you and baby.

Thanks Miss Lil Me.  I've never had such an extended time off in between jobs as I was always used to working one job after the other.  It has been nice to have this time off.  

I'm feeling calmer than I was before.  I've been having the urge to just bake.  I could bake all day long of cookies, muffins and bread.

Nice!  Your house must smell lovely.

  I did the same thing before the birth of Heckyl.  I'm not a baker, and had never baked so much in my life (..or since then!)

  Speaking of non-baking, Safeway blueberry pie for dessert!

  Happy Diwali everyone!

Butter chicken (actually, "soy milk chicken"), rice and vegetables for dinner.

  What do you mean? There's countless of posts on here about me going on ad nausea about the different regions of the united states and canada and, within those regions, different identities. re: interior bc/vancouver island to vancouver to BC to 'Canada' - Canada - to their percieved notion of 'the US' etc. Each group therefore pits itself against one another creating useless division that in many cases manifests itself into hate.

I better post quickly before he wakes up.  

About 8 hours after my after broke, little one was born.  I toughed it out and took no drugs except for the laughing gas at the very last hour.  There were two very funny moments that the nurses and docs thought was very cute (after taking the laughing gas).  I said "I feel like pushing" in a barely audible tone.  The nurses said that was the most quietest push request ever!!  And the second was when he came out I said, "He's so small!"  Everyone laughed at that and said to me "What did you expect?!"  

I was lucky where I didn't need any stitching.  I really don't like needles.

He weighed 9lbs even and was 22inches long.  

Baby and I are just waiting for my milk to come in because the colostrum isn't satisfying to him.  He's feeding all the time.  I hope it comes in tomorrow.   He's a cutie petutie with a full head of hair and he's healthy!!

Update on baby please, purelife!  (when you get a moment)

  Rough week here.

Dealing with some personal issues.

Jeckyl had 2 teeth removed.

Finished 3rd quarter for my own company.

*Almost* finished 3rd quarter for my job.

  But...I'm heading outdoors all day for a bottle drive, so that will be a welcome break from the madness.

Same Lil Me. I survived the week of hell somehow.

I did my monthly drive to Ferndale and then on to Seattle for 'finding clothes so I do not freeze to death' routine. So far I've been extremely lucky on these drives with the weather.

I'm glad Eddie Bauer found a buyer in bankruptcy or nothing would ever fit me.

Now with the clothes out of the way I can go to 'Seattle' on my monthly trips to Walgreens.


For shits and giggles I went to a Boston Pizza or "Boston Gourmet Pizza's" in Bellingham, the menu is cheaper but it still tastes the same.

Keeping tabs on the border... The American border guard conversation lasted 30sec this week while the Canadian guard from Newfoundland hadn't heard of my medication. Good times.

Thanks guys for all your congrats!  Hi Isis.  Did you know that tenkani named his dog after you?  (for real)  

We're going through some tough times right now.  Exactly a week after baby was born, an immediate family member on MrPL's side died.  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/2.gif)   He is devastated and we're just taking it day by day right now.

Baby is doing great.  He has regained his birth weight.  He's feeding well and sleeping ok too.  I try to get some sleep but can be hard when I like to get things done and have other things on my mind.  Him and I go for walks almost everyday.  I'm already down to my pre-pregnancy weight.  Yay for that!
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Isis on Oct 27 09 05:26
Oh wow...how horrible to loose someone close to you and Mr.PL.  My deepest condolences to you both and your family.

  I'm gald to hear that you and the baby are doing well and that you have *chokes* lost weight and the baby has re-gained weight.  I should say the following in order....

1. Congrats on getting married

2. Congrats on having a baby

3. Shame on me for neglecting DS...and my wonderful friends

  Can you ever forgive me?  

  Nice to hear that you are out and about on daily walks...good way to keep/get in shape after having a kid.

  I almost choked for real when you said tenkani named his dog after me...lol...oh I miss that guy! *cries* I haven't had a good *SPROOOOOING* in a long time!

Is he ever on these days?

sorry Isis, that's not a itch to troll you are feeling. What you are actually feeling is a fungus and it needs a proper ointment applied to kill it, your Slow cream ! will not cut, the mustard this time.. don't mind that smell it is just a bad egg . For some reason I am hungry

 lets see what do u need
 
 2 kinds of fungus
snails
mouseturd
cream
butter
garlic
eggs
cheese
grapefruit
and
french bread

lets start with fungus and snails

1 package of Shiitake Mushrooms ( approximately 4 ounces worth
 6 cups lightly-packed trimmed spinach leaves in bite-sized pieces
 1 cup chopped tomatoes
 1/4 cup grapefruit juice
 1/4 cup vegetable oil
 1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper[/p]  Trim stem ends of Shiitake Mushrooms; cut mushrooms into thin slices, through the caps and stems. In a large serving bowl place mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes; set aside. In a small bowl whisk together grapefruit juice, oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Just before serving pour over vegetables, tossing gently.[/p]
[/p]snails escargot french bread sour cream

6-12 tablespoons sour cream
10-12 mushrooms, white, fat, finely chopped
2 small onions, finely chopped
14 ounces escargot (canned, undrained, 400g)
4 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
4 tablespoons chervil, finely chopped (optional)
4 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
4 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped (or to taste, but use a lot)
2 tablespoon butter
hefty pinch of coarse sea salt
2 - 4 teaspoon's of coarse black pepper

Directions

Put the sour cream, finely chopped mushrooms and finely chopped small onion in a pot. Heat on high until it starts bubbling making sure to stir well and often. Now that it has started to bubble nicely, turn the heat down and let it simmer (remember to keep stirring) for about 10 minutes,

Now your onion is soft, the mushrooms are cooked, and the cream sauce is reduced. it is time for the next parts to be added, open the can of escargots those are snails in case you didn't know.  rinse the snails in a sieve, give them a shake to dry them a bit, Now add the snails, herbs, garlic, butter, salt and pepper to the pot.

Stir thoroughly and simmer for about 2 - 4 minutes more until the escargot / snails are heated through.

serve in small bowls with a nice hot crusty French bread

Hello! What did I miss?

Stayed in Fairfield and San Jose with starfishies relatives.

We used four tanks of diesel there and back..

Oh, and in response to your Q PC.. yes I got a new to me truck. An 06, Dodge Truck MegaCab Laramie 3500.

Hey everyone. Welcome home Russ.

  I've been awol with work and life in general.  I had also been nursing a killer headache for 4 days-- turns out I had a raging staph infection on my earlobe (I thought it was a minor skin thing) which had spread through the lymph nodes in my neck and up into my scalp.  Couple doses of antibiotics and an afternoon nap and I'm already 200% better!

  This week Heckyl had the worst asthma I've seen in years.  Turns out he's just fatigued, not sick.  Dr upped his inhaler dosages and told him to rest.

I've been busy.
My roommate and his friends got drunk on halloween night and did some illegal stuff on the roof with fireworks. The R.A. wrote everyone in the quad up so I've got to have a meeting with the 'landlord'. Fun. I am not involved in this nonsense yet I have to take time out of my schedule. Lame.

Thoroughly enjoyed New West on Sat night though.

The headache.. I think that means you arent having enough libations at night.

Well, I have to do a bunch of laundry and clean teh fish tank today.. then figure out what Im going to do with the two big pots of chili I made last night.. lol.

Hey Russ!

  Slept in (still feeling like crap), went to Lenny's for Grand Slam brekky, Costco, then home for another 4 hours of sleep.  Woke up feeling totally discombobulated- not knowing what time it was or what day it was, not knowing what was dream versus reality.  Did a bit of homework with Heckyl and Jeckyl, then out for dinner with the fam.  Back to the homework, now I'm ready for more sleep.

 Hi Gophie, Russ, P.C.

Here's a classic story of my brain not worknig

We were at MrPL's cousin's place and she had a son.  I saw her daughter, chatted with her but didn't remember seeing her son.  He was standing right in front of me all that time and I hadn't noticed him at all.  i must've blocked him out of my images.  I notice that I do that a lot.  There would be something clearly infront of me that I've been looking for and I jsut don't see it unless someone points it out to me.

mrPL is still taking the death of his dad really really really hard.  i know it's gonna take time.

 Oh, baby is doing great!  He rarely cries and will only cry if he's hungry or has an upset stomach.  He doesn't cry for the heck of crying.  He's such a good baby.  He's gaining weight beautifully too.  breastfeeding is giong well.  I pump so that we can go out for our walks.  I find that public breastfeeding isn't there and it's easier to give him a bottle in the middle of a store or something/

as for me, i'm feeling good.  i'm enjoying him when he's wide awake and learning abotu his personailtiy and temperment.

Condolences to Mr PL, PL. But good to hear the baby is doing great.

I got my plane ticket reserved for the 23rd of Dec. to go home. Hopefully I'm coming back, but the Canadian immigration website keeps crashing on me as I'm trying to renew the permit etc. frustrating.

Everyone has or had H1N1 except me thus far and my vaccination time is at the end of the month. I'd like to get it, but if this is the peak time of the illness I may have dodged it anyway. Sheer luck I guess.

take it easy on the day off on Wednesday.

  Well, got my phone unlocked and working!! Yaay! Now I have to figure out how to use it.. its pretty standard but its got so much junk on it, I think Im only going to use maybe 10% of the functions.

  Well, dinner tongiht will be Cabbage rolls and Sourkraut with european weiners... hopefully will turn out ok.

  Went to Buy Low as they have two for one packages of steaks, boneless chicken breasts, and back ribs. Stocked up and vaccum packed them.. then when I put them in the freezer I found a bunch of chicken and stuff I had buried in the back.. better use em up before they get freezer burnt.

Yeah Russ, you can visit them in person if 'problems arise' but "the quickest way, its super fast, no hassles!" is the online option which is suppose to take a couple minutes.

Cool PL! I need to get downtown sometime, but I need a reason.

I had a medical emergency today, and now I've got to get blood work tomorrow. fuuun. But, hey, at least on the bright side I get to leave campus for the first time in a week (really 2 weeks if you want to count an hour at Superstore as 'getting out').

That's nice to hear that you had visitors and got out PL...babies tend to occupy your mind so much that you forget about the other stuff.

  SD...hope everything works out for you.  I've been there before when a medical emergency comes up and bloodwork is needed.  I can be very scary waiting on those results.  Luckily for me, even though the results I got back were extremely bad (and life threatening at the time), it was a relief to know there was medical procedures and help tactics in place that saved my life and preventative measures for the future.

  I'm sure you'll be fine and the doctors will have a 'pill' for you.

You could but it would be easier just to grab it and drink it, yes no?

Sleeping from 6pm to 11pm was probably a bad idea.

Heeeeeeeeey!  Anyone home?

  It's been another crazy week here.

My days don't stop and my nights have been fuelled by NuQUil but I still dream about work.

  Anyone want to join me in a glass of wine?

Oh miss Lil Me.....send one this way, with a Sambuca chaser....or two.

Or three. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)



Sorry about your relentless business Lil Me.  I don't know how you do it.

I'm still seriously immobile, which is REALLY pissing me off.  So of course I'm only joining you in a cocktail, for medicinal purposes only.

Hi Russ, bye Russ.

And hi Gophie too !

I'm stuck because my back is in a state.  Mega pain and immobility. I'm just not good at being still...so I'm carrying on as best I can....but very very slowly.

I miss your pearls of wisdom PC, and hope with all my heart that you'll be more mobile very soon - if you're not, then how are you going to cope with all the getting and spending?

We all do this SD. Hopefully you had a good time last night!


Morning DS'ers!
We made it home sunday afternoon. Got through the truck crossing in 20 minutes including hitting the duty free. Was surprised when we went through as the bottles of hard sold there were 1 litre bottles.. instead of the standard 26, 40, and 60 oz bottles (0.75, 1.14, 1.75 Litres). We bought the allowed amount of food items you could bring back like turkeys and such. Went to the WinCo and Ross stores at the exit directly before the seattle outlet stores.
Had a good time in seattle. Went to that outdoor store REI when we were there and discovered that on average, the prices there were 10-20% higher than in canada? I was amazed.. and people obviously thought that they were good prices as the place was PACKED and huge lineups for the items.
We searched many online sites from teh hotel, trying to find close food places on a map layout with different types of dining and couldnt find anything liek that? Tried this site and found it to be frustrating.. so we just got out and wandered. Went to pike market then back zig zagging towards the hotel and ended up at a place called ambers? or something to that effect. On bell and 1st avenue I believe. It was pretty good. Tried 6 types of mixed drinks and decided we liked the singapore sling there (close to the real ones in singapore), and the cat in the hat drink. Which was like a strawberry shortcake.
We also bought one of those gps navigation units. It seems like a good one so far.. I will have to keep an eye on how its working iwth the routes I normally go though. so far it seems good. I got the 5 inch garmin one.. with a number of cool sounding features I dont have a clue about.. yet.
The hotel we stayed at was good.. however Im going to send in a complaint as they refused to recognize my bcaa card as a member equivalent of aaa. Even though the card had aaa on the back they wouldnt accept it.

Well, I now have to make a bunch of calls and find out whats the status of the process of next of kin and the stuff from the late tenant in my suite. I am getting royally screwed by the city hall and other departments cause they dont know what to do, or they are dragging their ass.

Wait....back up.  What is WinCo ?  Has somebody been holding out ?

Jeez Russ....sorry about the issues around your tenant.  It must be difficult to deal with from all angles.  Had you ever met any of his family at all ?

Morning Russ and P.C.

  Hope your back is on the mend, P.C.

  Sounds like a good weekend, Russ.

  I had a weird weekend.  After battling a week of wicked cough, I slept.  And slept.  And woke up feeling like a senile person who couldn't distinguish dreams from reality or past from present.

  But I did manage to run some errands, get my hair done and go to church.  But still...I cough.

He has relatives in Alberta that never got along with him when he was young, his mother left him to be raised by his grandparents there. His mother fled to california and passed away a few years ago. He has a daughter back east that he never met or talked to.. she has two children. Nobody wants to pay for the fees for the services provided so far.. or for the funeral. Therein lies the crux and the holdup of everything...


I never heard of WinCo until I took a wrong turn one time trying to get to the seattle outlet malls. After starfishie and I had loving words to each other over whom directed whom where and where they could go.. we noticed a Ross near the end of the freeway exit. We went there and as we did we saw this massive store that had a number of canadian plates parked outside of it.. and some of them were loading huge buggies into the back of their vehicles. So we decided to check it out.. VERY good prices.

Morning Russ and P.C.
 
Hope your back is on the mend, P.C.
 
Sounds like a good weekend, Russ.
 
I had a weird weekend.  After battling a week of wicked cough, I slept.  And slept.  And woke up feeling like a senile person who couldn't distinguish dreams from reality or past from present.
 
But I did manage to run some errands, get my hair done and go to church.  But still...I cough.


Good to hear you are doing a bit better LM! Are you sure its not overtired and stress? I get that way at points when I work overtime and have some pressing issues on the vessel. I work 12 hour shifts 7 days a week for 8 weeks at a time.. You are a very involved mother that does amazing amounts of activities for and with your family, also working and helping your husbands company...
Hope your cough goes away! Starfishie has that right now, as well as a funny feeling stomach.

Thats too bad about your back PC.. hopefully it gets better!

I realized a little while ago that my truck I got has a bluetooth setup in it.
However.
the blasted thing wont reset and let me enter a new password. I tried all sorts of things suggested.. and now I find I have to go to the dealer for help. They never gave me a straight answer if they would charge me for helping.

Im thinking its getting closer for a run to restore as well

You sure this is normal Russ? I mean... I blacked out, regrettably. Stupid box wine.

Bah people owe me so much money.

No idea for dinner, but I think I probably should apologize for things I apparently said in my 'blacked out state' to a friend (even though she's one of those people who wouldn't be offended). Although I wasn't 'there' so I don't know what happened. lol yee gods.

I fell out of the hot tub apparently, as I've got 10 cuts on my feet and knees. fun...

HI!

MrPL's bday tonight so he requested slow cooked bbq ribs, creamed corn, mashed taters, roasted zuchinni and red peppers.  YUM!!  We have family bringing over homemade cheesecake and his favorite, tuxedo cake.  It's gonna be a surprise because he doesn't know anyone is coming over in about an hour.  

I'm calling my little one, Gohan because he has TONS of hair and it's so spikey.  Gohan is a dragonball Z character.  

I think we've finally kinda established a routine.  For the first 3 weeks, it was so freakin hectic.  He had his days/nights mixed up.  Now, he can sleep at night in his OWN bed without any fuss.  He goes to bed at around 11.  BUT, in the evening, after his bath at 8, it takes him a while to calm down to sleep, so he ends up crying.

Oh, gotta go.  I'll write more later.

Post by: purelife on Dec 03 09 06:28
since his face changes in about a month, I don't mind uploading this photo of Gohan to share with everyone.  He's so cute!!!!  He's a keeper. :)

Post by: purelife on Dec 03 09 06:34
 I'm waiting for the day when he can sleep for more than 5 hours at night.  Currently, his longest stretch is 3 hours.  And I only get that once during the night.  It would be 2 hours, then 3 hours, then 1.5....  At least I get some sleep when added altogether.   Plus, I have a nap in the late evening before dinner to keep my sanity so that I'm calm if he cries.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Dec 03 09 06:46
Yeah sleep. Tough to come by. 3, 2.5, 1.5 hrs is him? Yeesh, exhausting.

I think he looks like me but everyone says half MrPL and half me, some say all MrPL or all me.  I think he has my mouth, nose and eyes and forehead.  He has MrPL's ears.

How do you guys make your stew?  Can you guys give me some ideas on slow cooked meals?  I'd like to use it more often.

Have fun in portland SD.. my bro's gf is down there today.

Well, tore out the toilet, cabinet, and the wall behind the tub. Going to put up concrete backing wall like what is recommended. Then leaving the old tub in, Im going to get the backing done from a place.. they guarantee for 10 years but it looks good.

I should have known the trip was going to be weird after I saw the car in front of me at the border being taken down by agents with guns drawn and handcuffs with the whole deal on wednesday.


oh and somebody forgot to plow the road from bellingham to the border.


what an odd week.

Woah!  Some good action down at the border!!  It never gets interesting for us.

I'm so glad that the snow has disappeared.  It means that I can get out.  Yayyyyyyy!!!

Haha yeah. I dunno, the lure of the Canadian side of Cascadia is not having to deal with the weird
sensationalism below the 49th, as this place is solitude.

In Portland they were going through the 'arctic chill' the mayor had press conferences, its all anyone talked about, the coming doom. It never came, but a couple hikers have been lost on Mt. Hood.

The snow is in white rock, south surrey, langley to chiliwack on the canadian side.
2 months! wow! Time does indeed fly by.

Going good, Decembers are always weird transitional periods for me.

Hi Gophie, SD...

I seem to miss everyone whenever I log on. :(

Cute shoes, Gophie.  Gohan received some cute booties that look like they were from that site.  I just hope they stay put on his feet.

When are you leaving for home, SD?  Flying this time?

Hi everyone.

Glad to hear baby is doing well purelife.  He's just so darned cute.

Been baking, entertaining, crafting and sleeping.....heavy on the entertaining.  I love it, so vowed I would make more time for it this year.

  Greenhouse is on hold til after Christmas, because I don't know how to divide my time when I work on a project like that.  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)   If I kept going, nothing would be done for Christmas.

 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Dec 16 09 01:37
Hey guys. Oh you'll get your project done P.C. and the greenhouse will be spectacular as always.

Hey PL- yeah I'm flying home on the 22 (basically the 23rd) on midnight with an overnight flight to Toronto. Then take a morning flight out. Its crazy.

I had an enjoyable evening, i ran into an Christmas concert downtown by a North Vancouver secondary school's music association. The kids were good, I was impressed. Although their parents can't sing. I could hear myself in the cathedral and I'm a baritone. haha



 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Dec 16 09 09:57
Morning everyone!

Hope you make it home and back safe and sound, SD.  Who knows how much snow will interrupt the flight.  

It's so windy today.  In our 2nd bedroom, there's a little storage with its own separate door with a tile-sized window that is open.  It's not protected from the outside elements so it's freaking freezing in the storage room and woud be much colder in this room if the door wasn't closed.  But, we could hear the wind.....It sounds scary sometimes.  

Will you be starting on your antique desk that you were possibly thinking of turning them into bedside stands, PC?  I'm looking forward to seeing its after pictures. :)

Hey Pl, yeah who knows. Please let their not be snow. I had enough blizzards from last year.

At least last night was really nice downtown.

Hai everyone!

Baby and I had a nice day visiting two former work places in downtown.  He was really good for them but got super tired in the afternoon and he finally napped now.  Too much stimulation for a day.  Then tomorrow, he's going for his shots.  I hope he'll be ok but I have tyenol just in case.  It was nice to mingle with friends again.

The air is really dry down here. I'd always have constant nose bleeds as a kid and my room, in the upstairs part of the house, has never given me a break. In the summers I sleep in the basement.

Grandma is doing great though, this time last year she was in the ER. Her memory has been sharp lately.
I was joking yesterday that this is my 4th decade 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s. Grandma's on her 11th.

Hey everyone!  Hope everyone had a good Xmas.

  Went to visit the outlaws, then down to the US.  Spent a week roaming the beach between Astoria and Cannon Beach, OR.  Nice to get away- work haunts me.  I even dream about it.

  Had an eventful few days- water leaks and such.

  Trying to lose the 10 lbs that I gained over Xmas.

Happy 2010 everyone!  Our xmas and new year was very quiet.  Baby stayed up with us on new year's eve until 1am.  How fun! :P *said with sarcasm*  I'm happy that he's back into routine now.  I envy other babies at the same age who can sleep 11 hours straight!  I know mine will get there sooner or later, when he's developmentally ready.  I can only dream... *sigh*

Got a funeral to go to this weekend.  We were so happy to find sitters.  They're newbies to babies.  So, we have our landlords as backup helpers to them if they don't know what to do.  Our landlords are actually waiting to hear the stories.  LOL  I hope baby is quiet and easy for them.

I ended up spending my gift card on an Olympic zippered hoodie.  My mom got me those mitts too.

I loved it. I didn't really care for Amy Adams (although she's great) (Junebug, Enchanted, Doubt) and the 'now' part film, but its all about Meryl and Stanley Tucci. They're so believable, and Meryl plays (as she's said in interviews) the Julia that we (the audience) would imagine her to be.  When I saw it this summer in the theatres I knew this was going to go down as another 'Meryl classic' in her cannon. We bought it for Christmas. Its one of my favourite movies of the year.

I went to Buy Low tonight, got food and was told by a woman that I can no longer talk on a cell phone and drive. Well the new cell phone is going to have to wait although I've had mine now for 3yrs.  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: LM@work on Jan 10 10 02:24
Ah, the old talk and drive problem.  I have yet to buy a BlueTooth, so I will say this...driving while trying to hide your phone on speaker is a lot more distracting than it was just holding the phone!

  Nearly got busted the other day by a cop I know.  I was leaving the taekwondo gym while he was arriving.  He sat in his car watching me end my conversation before driving off...had he not been there, I would have driven while talking for sure!

  Went out for drinks last night but was home by 11:30...

Boss was celebrating his bday by watching the game at the Shark Club out in the 'burbs.  He got kicked out around 11:00, so we all had to go.

He was resisting leaving, and it took MrLM and a couple of his cousins to load him into the truck while he fought them.

Good times.  At least I was home early and snoring.

Hey Lil Me, speaking of taekwondo, what's the average lesson price around here?


No idea for dinner, most likely something of indian origin or a curry fusion omelet. haha

 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Afternoon everyone!

Pouring pouring rain here.  I met up with a friend over at Metrotown.  Lots of mommies w/strollers there.  It's quiet too, which is nice because I usually don't like that mall.  Baby was so tired, tried to nap but couldn't.  I think the lighting was just too bright for him.  But now we're home and he's napping soundly.  YAY!!  Oh, baby gave me a one time 5 hour sleep stretch.  I don't know what I did differently, but I would love to have that again.  Last night, he didn't give me that again.  But at least, it gets easier and easier to put him to bed with less fuss from him so that I at least, get some peace and quiet for a few hours before I crash.  We've been watching a movie almost every night and that's when I get to exercise and play with the Wii Fit/Sports.

Some days are better than others for both baby and I.  My hormones are just a mess these days.  I feel like that dwarf, Grumpy.

Wait, you're not talking about the dip. Most of the time we buy it prepared.

A long, long, time ago, when I was 7, I was at a fellow cub scouts house and it was near Hannaukah. My friend's grandpa cooked them for us saying "these are health for you" etc (he was a dentist). Why I still remember this story I have no idea.

Hi Lil Me! :)
I'm not going anywhere.

I just can't have 'guests' or 'parties' past 8pm, can't 'hang unapproved olympic banners/flags out of my window', can't be seen with 'non-olympic sponsored apparel and products (no pepsi or off to the gallows)', 'discouraged from walking around past unnaproved hours' (most likely a warning about snipers in the trees).

There's at least seven 'eyes in the sky' around in my area (noticed them in the summer). The barbwire went up weeks ago. So, i suspect I don't have much time to live before I get picked up by the helicopters.

I'm a part of the olympics, so I suspect I won't have much time to do anything.

How are they going to enforce these rules, I have no idea. My roommates friends went on a firework shooting spree on the roof on halloween, they were banned from the premises, but now they live in the premises.

We'll probably be sent to the 'cages'.

Hi guys.  Miss everyone.

We had a nice CNY dinner over at my mom's.  There was so much food and it was all so delicious.  She gave us leftovers too.  

We've been pretty busy and it has been chaotic for the past couple of days.  There was yet another problem in our suite - a leak.  So, landlord acted quickly and checked all the pipes around the house.  It was stressful because I had to stay at mom's with baby for a few nights and it was crazy there because I really don't like him sleeping on the same bed with me.  And he prefers his own bed.  It was good to be home back to regular routine.  We were all so stressed out because we thought of the worst case scenario - landlord having to excavate the perimeter of the house with bulldozers/wrecking ball, etc or a huge flood if it poured rain.  Thank goodness that wasn't the case.  It was such a hassle!!  Thank goodness that is over.  I really don't like to have my home interrupted.  I was this close to calling it quits and moving out.  I was running out of patience.

Anyways, baby is doing great!  He's such a happy lil babeeeeee.

Hey purelife!  Glad to hear that everything worked out in your home.

  Not a whole lot going on in my world.  Started going to bed at 9pm on weeknights- after I started feeling a bit ooky last week.  I think the extra sleep + vitamin C prevented me from getting sick.

  Spent Sat helping a friend + his wife move.  It was weird.  Usually people have the boxes packed before you show up.  Not these guys.  Then they started arguing about what was going/staying.  That was uncomfortable.  Get this- the old residence has areas that are completely uninhabitable due to an incontinent cat.  They are still arguing about whether the cat is coming with them to the new residence, which is clean and beautiful.  wtf?

I always looked forward to pics of all the yummy stuff Lise use to make for CNY.  

Uneventful here.  Redecorating a few rooms.  Finding myself getting tired quickly...I think it's time to get to some outdoors stuff.  Seems like it's been a particularly long winter.  Mild, but long.

They want to keep the cat? weird.

Indeed its been a mild winter. I've injured my heel/high ankle knee sprain on both legs making it hard to walk. Hopefully, this is a good enough excuse to get out of friends calling and asking me to go to the Colbert Report tomorrow or a wingman for my buddy at these ridiculous 'disney epcot-esque' cultural houses. I've got a lot to work to do.

My roommate and his gf finally quit their 'love in' 'bed in' and went back to Abbotsford so I got the place to myself now finally (the other went to Vegas to 'avoid the crowds' (what crowds?) and the other is touring Vancouver Island).

Now I got a call last night saying my MSP fax didn't go through great...

Cool on the finding cool stuff!! I wish I had my own place.

Speaking of 'place' I've about cleaned every corner of this apartment knowing in about a week the rest of the roommates come back who don't particularly clean. I've debated whether to a) set up a schedule b) start whipping people c) tell the r.a.
I don't think a schedule will work because I don't think they'd follow through at all. Whipping goes nowhere and the R.A. is rather m.i.a.

Oh well, at least I'm out by June.

Hey P.C. Are you talking about the store that sold the movie stuff or the sale of vintage/costume/contempary clothes?  

The store is at 2741 Skeena Street.  It's open to the public everyday.  It's called Film Go Sales.  The sign says "New &amp; Vintage, Furniture, Fixtures, Movie Props, Consignment."  It's near the Vancouver Film Studios and right across from the new Walmart Supercentre.

That store is freaking huge!  From the outside, it looks small but there's more out back.  

And beside that store, that's where MrPL went for his suit sale.  Apparently, they have these sales once a month and the selection varies.  This one that we went to had more vintage type of clothes and asian dresses/cowboy gear.  Lots of costumes.

There's another one of these types of movie props sale that I have to find out from my friend who volunteers as a director at the theatre.  I'll see if I can find out and I'll let you know.

Really? You're moving to Texas? Wow. Let me guess... Austin? That city is the only other way I'm moving to Texas although some in my family like South Padre Island, but I think they're just too afraid of Mexico.
 (For Canadians who don't know where South Padre Island is, think Point Roberts except on the Texas/Mexico border).

The only other way I see myself living in Texas is if I have one of those 20,000 acre ranches and place a house in the middle of the 20k thereby not having to worry about locals. haha

Dude, 100% agree.

And yeah, Austin area   :)    They mostly vote dem, which I suppose is as close to freethinking as I'm going to find outside of Berkeley   :P

Was also looking around San Marcos, which is about 30 miles south of Austin. In between Austin and San Antonio. Not a bad spot, although I'm guessing the locals are a bit more steriotypically Texan than in the Austin area where they like to "keep it weird".

Also agree with you about the acreage. Don't want to have to deal with neighbors so been looking at the 10 - 20 acres range. With trees preferably.

Anyway, to be honest, if I had 5.7 million dollars I would probably move to Vancouver. But I don't sooo....

Hi everyone!

All this talk about turnips is making me crave them now.  It's definitely going to be one of the food I'm feeding baby.  Mmmmuuuuussst buy some turnips now.  :)))  I also like rutabagas.

Disgusting is all I can say about turnips and the idea of parsnips makes me want to be sick.... Not one of my favourite vegetable's I would sooner eat 1 full cup of Brussels Sprouts before eating 1 teaspoon of turnips or parsnips... just so every one knows, I hate Brussels Sprouts and normally use the dessert spoon as a catapult to fling them little round disgusting vegetables as far away as possible..

Just to give you an idea of how much more I hate turnips. Another vegetable I also dislike would be the Zuchinni or squash. Some vegetables are horrid beyond horrible and my top 5 dislikes. Turnips and others of similar family Beets Rutabagas parsnips. Brussels Sprouts Zuchinni,Squash, Boiled Cabbage ( raw cabbage is fine ie salads and coleslaw.) boiled the smell is vile and the flavour not much better. Cabbage rolls on the other hand Delicious cabbage can be strange some forms it is edible other ways I can't stand it..

I wonder if I am allergic to something in these vegetables and I hate them with such a passion because of it.

Can it be possible to be allergic to certain vegetables and fruits with out knowing it and the reasons you can not stand to eat those said fruits and vegetables because it's the way of your body defending its self through dislike or of it is all just all in the mind... &lt; gonna go ponder this while I go to my old job site to see if I have a spare tire there I seem to have broken another Axel....

Lunch will be whatever is being sold at Quest on Hastings Street sometimes they have some amazing product. most of the time it is not very appetizing but for those with low incomes it is a nice place to shop if your not overly concerned with due dates..

I got a classic fully loaded with everything but i said no anchovies no mushrooms no hot peppers and no olives.

not really PC you should of seen my balcony when i saved up over 100 dollars worth of empties. it is mostly 1 litre and 2 litre bottles helped where i worked too I got most of the ones i picked up there. I normally do not bother collecting the nickels but now that I am unemployed I will collect even the nickels. You would be surprised how quickly they can add up. But i no longer have 6 warehouses on my daily paroll so I do not think I will be collecting lots of emptys from there anymore.

Left over pizza for brunch. still more left for supper I guess. now I remember why I hate Domino's the crust is like cardboard the next morning and when you microwave it it turns to soggy, and if you reheat in the oven it is to burnt to be considered eating.  This is pizza that was sandwich bagged individually  last night to keep it from drying out in the hopes it would not turn to cardboard, sadly it failed.

The pizza is always great the night before but it never is as appealing the next day. I wonder why that is.
(and it is not cause of a hangover)
Any takers on this question '

why is pizza never as appealing the next day as it was the night before.

 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Mar 15 10 02:16
Probably because of the nature of unleavened crust, it turns to cardboard when it absorbs moisture.  lol  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Mar 15 10 05:52
 Well it is not very funny. but it it is interesting thought, I paid for my meal and I want to eat left overs why would a pizza company make it so that the pizza is uneatable the next day. I can not help but wonder if there is a class action lawsuit against the pizza corporation for purposely designing a pizza that is so unappealing the next day that people would rather throw it out and order another one...

 Now if there was only a way from preventing that crust from turning to cardboard a person could make millions from it... Then a again a multi million dollar lawsuit on behalf of all enraged pizza purchasers could be fun. Now if I could only find a lawyer willing to take this on contingency.. =D We are such a frivolous litigious society why not sue Domino's for making a pizza so disgusting so sickening that we are forced to throw it away rather than eat it. =D any lawyers out their want to take this on =D for the chance of profitability or just the sheer hell of it...

What a yummy dinner Gophie!!!  I LOVE yorkshire pudding.  

We're having a lazy dinner.  After spending some time in downtown today (alone!) for a meeting, I am so freaking tired that we're just going to order pizza.  I don't feel like cooking.  It was nice to be away from babe and MrPL for several hours.  

Hi everyone!  Any plans for the weekend?

Oh, the leak is getting worse.  We constantly have to put towels against the wall.  It's so tiring to squeeze the water, put in spin cycle and then dry them.  We have to do this a few times a day.  So, it looks like landlord has to dig 6 feet down at their backyard to find the problem and fix it.  It's gonna take a few good weeks to get it done because they're not hiring anyone since they can't afford the $.

Does anyone know if it'll be a problem to put soaked towels in washer and then chose spin cycle?  I want to bypass the squeezing out the water first.

Hey P.C.  So, it's ok to put soaked towels in the washer and turn it to spin cycle?  It won't be too heavy or damage anything right?  I'm just worried about accidentally breaking the machine and it'll be my fault.  

I'm worried about mould too and I know he has to knock off a wall.  He's starting it tomorrow.  If he hired a crew, they would have it done in a week or so but since it's just he and his dad, it's gonna be a couple of weeks, maybe more.

He says he'll give us a break in rent.  Does anyone know what is fair?  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Mar 19 10 10:16
free rent till its fixed is fair... his problem his fault... you should not have to put up with this problem at all. you could even sue for damages to your own property if he fails to fix the leak in a timely manner..and if he had for knowledge of this problem even more so...

from the sound of it you are preventing further damage to his property with what you have done so far... you do not have to do anything you could just move all your stuff out of the affected area and to a higher level until the trouble is fixed or even move to a new place at his expense.. cause these quarters could be considered unlivable by the rental tenancy act...

 if you are willing  you really should go to the nearest RTA branch office for advice and take photos in with you, of the affected areas make sure to document everything that is going on and every thing that has been done so far every thing your land lord has said and or done to date about this leak. with what is happening you should make sure you include at least one photo with the date and a newspaper in it to help set a date and time to the photo it will also help in showing size of the problem for scale purposes.

if you can back date a photo to the day it was first discovered. this might be of help to protect your self... some landlords may even try to make it out like it is the tenants fault if they can.. be very careful make sure you record all phone conversations and keep things in writing as much is possible you could even bill him a hourly rate by bringing in your own crew to fix the problem once it is cleared by the rental tenancy branch..

 is leak from sewer line or water line?....go to hardware store and buy a test kit (solution) if you not sure.  If it's sewer, press owner to have fix asap, if it is just water give the landlord a break if he is just renting part of his home out for additional income.  As a landlord myself I don't forget tenants who who are pushie and demanding when time to raise rents

I made a British couple I know through the Olympics day today. They're nearly done now with the para, so they're almost on their way to Shanghai for the World Expo. But, in my dying efforts to move the tourist/international workers out of the downtown core, I think I have succeeded! I successfully persuaded the woman and her husband (he was lukewarm on the idea) to go to Jericho Beach. She didn't have directions or much of anything (nobody leaves the downtown peninsula), but they got to see sea lions or seals at Jericho today and even I haven't seen that. Lucky. lol

 MMM Pub food really sounds good right about now...

I picked up some sliced cheddar, I got a great deal so I bought 10 dollars worth. It looks like its  gonna be lots of sandwiches. The sliced cheddar was on sale and worked  out to be less expensive than the whole cheddar.

I like that, when a store  makes a mistake and using the in house coupon it was it went from 2.90  per 100 grams to 1.90 per 100 grams normal store price on the cheddar is 2.20 per  100 grams. sighs.. I went back an hour later to get more but The bastards must of changed the price right after I had left, cause when I got back there the price had gone up to the 3.50 per 100 grams. I decided to not buy any more cause it was not much of a bargain then...
 
alas I must budget so I will not be able to eat out at to many new restaurants... For My lunch yesterday it was a Chinese place on main street.

My review so far is horrible. but I am not just yet going to name the restaurant, I was having a very bad day yesterday, and from almost everything I tried so was the restaurant.

The chicken was good, not great, it could most definitely use some spices &amp; a bit of pepper  perhaps a all spice or a poultry spice mix. or something similar mixed to the breading before they deep fry it and they could make it much better.

The Broad Egg noodles were nice not great not bad but considering everything I have tried so far and then I tried the The thin noodles with bean sprouts They were fantastic I am very impressed on the flavour and spice... hopefully this was not a fluke the next time I go back I will grab some more to make sure.

the broccoli beef had way to much baking soda and MSG added the beef was chewy not tender some one did not simmer it, they boiled it thus ruining the beef.  

The sweet and sour pork with green peppers was disgusting it was sweet with not a hint of a sour bite to it. I do not know what the cook did to it.. but blah. the green peppers were good still crisp and flavourful very nice compared to the rest of the dish

 the green onions were okay, not great, but at least they were edible and the quality of the pork was poor, I found it tough &amp;  gristly..

Please do not even get me started on the fried rice it was undercooked and way to greasy....

how on earth can a country of people that survived on rice for so many years screw up such a simplistic staple this is a large eatery and has tons of customers. how can so many people eat such horrid food.

If I wrote a review for this place right now, I could not even give it a favourable, 1 out of 5 stars ...
I do not know why, I am not writing a review, on this place. I really should but just on the off chance the cook was new or a very junior apprentice or something...

I am going to give them a second chance, they do not deserve it as far as I am concerned but many of the locals love this place and talk about it all the time,  I am going to go against my better judgement and return to a sit down meal, instead of take out, just on the off chance, a eat in meal, is better..

I need to go back with my digi cam and get a few sneaky photos in and try one more dish, I was very unimpressed. I will give them a second chance. every place can have a off day... I am only giving them a second chance and not naming the restaurant just yet, because of all the locals I see inside the place.

Lunch today was a bit of a experiment ... the lighthouse jalapeño ranch veggie dip is not bad it makes a nice spread for a sandwich

Lighthouse Jalapeño ranch dip
with French's mustard (only one i had available)
200 grams Roast beef
100 grams sliced cheddar
4 safeway hamburger buns

2 for lunch and 2 for dinner cheaping out and being lazy. I just do not feel like cooking today.

Hi 49er!  So nice to see you around here from time to time.  :)

We're not pushy or demanding at all.  If we could, I'd love to have him as our landlord forever and he would love to have us as his tenants forever.  I would never want to jeopardize the relationship we have.

Anyways, MrPL and landlord were both working at it today to see if the problem was something that could be fixed in a day or two.  So, they discovered it's going to cost them even more than what they estimated.   And, they have to spend about $12K to have one part of the house holsted on support beams because one part of their home can collapse if they didn't do that.  So yep, they're definitely going to have to dig and they're starting next week.

ate lunch and am working on dinner. Which is in the oven now and for dinner is going to be a Chicken burger with fried  tomatoes topped off with a couple of sandwich pickles. I am contemplating mashed potatoes or  if i should have fried Parmesan potato bites..I think it is going to be fried pamesan I gota bit of Parmesan cheese left and need to use it up anyways.... Sadly dinner is one of the cheap breaded repressed chicken burgers. I do not like  them that much but when they are on sale  at 50 cents each, it is hard not to buy a few...

It is Green, Yellow Or Orange peppers, which ever is your preference, added to the Potatoes and for the last minute of frying, once the potatoes are browned and the peppers are just getting tender add a couple of table spoons of soy sauce.

according to the following Wiki article this is what soy sauce is.

Sportsdude, Whooping Cough aka Pertussis, is highly contagious in areas of British Columbia.  Not many DR's still test for it, because they are assuming most adults are immunized against it, this is not often the case, sometimes that immunization wears off. Also ask to be tested for Bordetella para-pertussis while you are at it. It is better to be sure you do not have it and find it is just some cold than find out later you were exposed to something more serious. best to see if you were exposed to it or if you have it.... If you do have it, cause it is highly contagious those you have been exposed to will also need to be tested.

Symptoms to be aware of... Courtesy of Wiki

After an incubation period that is typically seven to ten days,  pertussis in infants or young children is characterized initially by  mild respiratory infection symptoms such as mild coughing, sneezing, or  runny nose (catarrhal stage). After one to two weeks, the coughing  develops into uncontrollable fits, each with five to ten forceful  coughs, followed by a high-pitched "whoop" sound as the patient  struggles to breathe in afterwards (paroxysmal stage). Coughing fits are  sometimes followed by vomiting, which can lead to malnutrition. Fits  can occur on their own or can be triggered by yawning, stretching,  laughing, eating or yelling; they usually occur in groups, with multiple  episodes every hour around the clock. This stage lasts two to eight  weeks, or sometimes longer. A gradual transition then occurs to the  convalescent stage, which usually lasts one to two weeks. Common  complications of the disease include pneumonia, encephalopathy, earache,  or seizures. Infection in newborns is particularly severe.

Lunch one Orange a glass of five alive Tropicana a vitamin C tablet. and currently waiting the meatballs to finish heating up ( I cheated I bought frozen Deli ones from Stongs)  they will be served with diced tomato's &amp; onions, I am just not sure if I want to use chickpeas, black beans or kidney beans. I think I even have some Garbanzo beans hidden in the back, (my least favorite beans)

honestly i am just not that hungry and think the meatballs with the tomatoes is gonna be more than plenty with no need for the beans... I just need some fiber to go with the protein, Wish I had some bread then I could just have a slice of toast.

Dinner Sounds good Russ... Waves hello by the way.

Ok Good morning everyone.. (my afternoon starts in 20 minutes) lunch today is going to be KFC. I am cheating, I ordered the big crunch special. 8.99 for 2 big crunch sandwiches 1 spicy &amp; 1 regular, Clubbed the spicy one, which means they add tomato, cheese and bacon for 1.00 more, highway robbery I tells yeah., a Small fry's and a 7up.

The Damn delivery fee is 3.50 talk about outrageous, they can forget any tip being added, with delivery fee's that steep. Normally  I would make my own fried chicken, which is much better for a person than the actual KFC, but I do not have any chicken. Nor do I have any chicken burgers left.

 I got lots of pork stirfry left over. but I have a craving for greasy spicy KFC, I just got this craving and I am not going to deny it today. Sometimes one has to feed the addiction today i gave in and bought KFC. It could have been Pizza just as expensive and just as bad for a person but I had pizza last month.

I Got the 50 inch tv set up. the surround sound ready to go  2012 the time travelers wife and armour on the line up. t is gonna be a good night. as long as the power does not go out. Kicks feet up. looks at watch 25 minutes till KFC is due to arrive... then movie night starts... popcorn is in the popper real butter in the butter cup for melting) all I need is the KFC to start the first movie.

Please do bring up hygiene or anything else like that. I am going to pretend I know nothing about that stuff for tonight. 15 minutes till KFC is due to arrive now.. Im a slow writer.

Morning!
Dinner was good! The rotisserie worked out well. We had gotten a Black and Decker countertop convection broiler unit for toasting, baking, rotisserie, etc.. and does it work well! Im impressed.

Well, the flat concrete 2 foot tiles were laid yesterday for the shed, then we set it up. The one corner got missed in the level check and the shed sits a little low on that side.. so the door wont work. Have to shift the shed and fill that area in.. grrr.

Other than that.. doing some door trim work and weather stripping. Have to repaint the door jams in teh master bedroom and decide whether or not to install crown molding. I have gotten news I fly on Sunday sometime.

I can not afford the rent on the apartments in the east side any more totally disgusted with the way things are right now.

Lunch breakfast whatever u want to call it is the left over chicken club sandwich reheated in the oven.. Why is it KFC left overs taste better than they did the night before lol...

Dinner tonight is going to be pork tenderloin.. just not sure how I want to prepare it this time.. something new but easy.. I do not want to go out for any ingredients and I do not want to make anything difficult... time to try Google and see what recipes I can find..

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Apr 17 10 04:56
 well it is 4:45 am. I cooking supper at 3 am.... started at 3 am and it took just over 1 hour and  finished eating just after 4:10 am It was HOT.. my mouths still on fire.. do not mix up and add 1/3 cup of Hot sauce when it should of been 3 table spoons hot sauce and 1/3 cup soy sauce... and 1/2 cup water...

I made spicy pork medallions. served on top of Broccoli Onions and Chow Mien noodles

This is an easy skillet supper. Delicious and pretty quick if you prep ahead of time.

1-2 pork tenderloins
Creole  seasoning (no clue what that is so I used pork stir-fry seasoning)
Salt and pepper
1  clove garlic, minced (I always got garlic)
1/2 teaspoon  Worcestershire sauce (small problem I got none I used soy sauce and a bit of molasses)
juice of a lime, about  1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons (I use lemon juice)
pinch thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch  allspice
dash salt

Cut 1 pound pork tenderloin into about 8 medallions, about 1 inch in  thickness. With heel of hand, gently flatten each medallion slightly.  Combine ingredients;  add over both sides of medallions and rub  in. ( you can let the flavor marinate if you like, I tend to cook right away)
[/p]  Grill the medallions over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side to sear.  Lower heat to medium and cook for about  8 - 12 minutes longer, turning  occasionally, until cooked through, about 155°.[/p]Now for the Broccoli noodles and onion noodles

hot sauce 3 tablespoons. do not make the mistake of using 1/3 a cup ( never a good idea to cook when one is sleepy) the hotter the style hot sauce the less you need. Tabasco sauce 1 table soon. Louisiana 2 tablespoons. Indian hot sauce or Chinese chili sauce well we are now talking 1/2 to 1 tea spoon 5 mls thats it cause they are hot. you want this hot but not flame thrower out your back side hot.

soy sauce &amp; onions simmer 1/3 cup soy sauce with 1/2 cup water and a diced medium onion..for 30 minutes on low to blend the flavors.. now add a table spoon of baking soda thats right 1 tablespoon baking soda..  coat your brocolli well with this.. let it sit for 15 minutes to let the broccoli soften a bit.

sorry no amounts add as much or as little broccoli as you like.I tend to use 1/2 lb of broccoli florets cut thin  

 ( when you make a batch of garlic pork sausage save some of that fat you need it to add it to the onions and broccoli)  it freezes and stores very well for up to 6 months

Simmer the onion broccoli and sauce for a while till the broccoli is cooked through crisp but soft. add to your chow mien noodles toss and mix. stirfry till noodles are soft.  the sauce will flavour them nicely.

Now add to bowls and top with your spicy pork medallions and enjoy.

complicated huh =D

SAHD stands for "stay at home dad"
SAHM is "stay at home mom" :)
LO = little one.  

I have no idea what ftw stands for.

I'm sorta looking forward to going back to work.  I like the people interaction, the laughter but on the other hand, I'll miss my LO so dearly.  Ideally, MrPL can work in the evenings while I get the day time shift.

Lunch was avocado chicken sandwich (on one bread only) with a glass of milk.  :)
LO will be having some avocado when he gets up from his nap soon.

Other than that.. heading back to africa. Yep, left the last company to get out of africa.. went to Italy and now Im going back to Africa. &lt;sigh&gt;
At least its only supposed to be a 6 month contract for the ship down there.

I almost forgot about the volcanic ash affecting your work travels.  6 months will definitely fly!  I can't believe that my LO turned 6 months yesterday.  It felt like yesterday that I just popped him out.  :P

thanks for clearing up those abbreviations Purelife..

and yes Mr. noodles are bad for you. I make them with out the sodium packets throw those in the dust bin... trash garbage whatever.

Dry noodles are a filler for when I do not have real stir-fry or chow-mien noodles.  Mr. noodles they do in a pinch they will never be as good as the fresh ones from double happiness besides that Mr. noodles are only 25 cents and if you realize you have no noddles left you can grab them from almost any corner store

the fresh ones are 1.50 if I buy them from double happiness and If I forget to buy some or have need to buy more, I would have to go out for 30 minutes to go pick up the noodles from double happiness 45 minutes if I have to go to the bank first.

I use frozen precooked chicken breast because 3 minutes of boiling it  with the noodles and the 2 minutes in the frying pan may not be enough  to cook it through. (I always have some precooked meats in the freezer  to add to a dish as fillers)

today's lunch
1/2 cup snow peas
1 small onion or half a medium one
15 mls of diced garlic made fresh
1 egg scrambled
100 grams of chicken breast meat diced precooked

 1 packet Mr. Noodles or chow mien noodles boil with the frozen chicken till soft. Pour in a sieve  &amp; rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.

add to the frying pan your finely diced onion and what ever veggie you like (I really like to use snow pea's for this dish) fry the onions garlic and chicken until the onions start to caramelize and the snow peas are soft.  

Add your scrambled egg cook till the egg is nice and fluffy

add your noodles toss and fry for one to 2 minutes more adding a shot of soy sauce and a shot of hot sauce. fry for another minute or two and serve

serves 1. to serve 2. just double the quantity's.  

time for a nap.

What does WTF mean to you?

I know dinner for tongiht will be duck. Found the bin at stupidstore yesterday by accident and decided to buy it. Now I have to figure out what Im going to season it with. Thawed it out yesterday.

Dinner yesterday was AYCE sushi. We were planning to do hotpot when friends of my parents showed up (thank god they are going back to the island soon from this visit), and somehow it was up to us to have dinner for all.
Does anybody else have that Top Gun Restaurants card? Costs you like 30 bucks to join and 25 bucks a year.. gives you 10% off any restaurants or businesses under the Top Gun umbrella. Starfishie bought it last year, and so far it has paid for itself and more. One time with 6-8 people eating AYCE pays for the card, anything after that within a year pays for itself.

Hot pot.

  Just got back from the Island.  Went yesterday am first thing to see father-in-law in the ICU of the hospital.  He'd apparently had a stroke, but now the diagnosis is uncertain.  At least he's stable now.  He wasn't expected to recover, but now he's conscious and alert.  Waiting on a neurology consult- may be a tumor.

  Back to work tomorrow.

As for me.. Im now in Paris overnight. 26 hour delay. Figures.
Should be onboard the vessel by friday.

Its not too bad, Im actually in a hotel at the airport so its not such a big deal to get to the check in tomorrow morning.

As for lunch.. Im waiting for the lunch menu to come available? It doesnt start until 12 noon.. anytime before all they have is a continental breakfast.. <sigh>

No idea. Right now I'm doing under the table work, but I think I need to learn how to write proper cover letters. I think that's my problem. It's not the resume, as I'm overqualified for a lot of things non pouring coffee related.

I don't really know what the summer will bring...  I'm imprisoned in this contract until August... I can't leave it or I'm fined a ridiculous amount. Tomorrow I'm going to flag down my advisor who's going to direct me on my thesis next year and classes to take either through distance ed or at a state school back home. That's the only thing for certain next year.

Pay bills.
Finish this Fassbinder movie I've been delaying to finish for months.
Start reading theory books
Going to Seattle on Friday for free to see Mariners game. My roommate from Mexico is basically subsidizing the trip after I edited his 25p commerce paper.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Apr 28 10 01:55
Paris airport hotels arent too bad. its like 160 euros a night and food is almost 20 euros a plate where I am staying. Theres not too much to do here, but thats cause Im not venturing out. theres quite a few airport hotels here to choose from now.

So you are going to finish up at a state university back home for you?
I dont get your contract? Is this with the school?

Im actually starting to think about going back to school for the final bit of my license. I now have the sea time for it. But I might go out to Newfoundland to do it at the college there.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Apr 28 10 02:12
No, I'm graduating from UBC. I'm a year and a half from graduating. It won't be too much longer. Basically think of it as if I went on foreign exchange.

Yeah, the contract is through the university, where Vancouver rules do not apply because this isn't Vancouver. It's a dictatorship over here.

Where in Newfoundland?

Ah, I'm the adventurer type, but if you're right at the de Gaulle you're kinda trapped it seems (at least what I can gather from google street view).  I don't mind the hotel life.

 Russ safe trip mano, safe seas too.

sportsdude if you are trapped and can not leave how can you cross the border ? or is it a school thing meaning you can not leave that university for another with out paying large fines?

lunch yesterday was a organic Spicy black bean &amp; chicken soup.

Supper was a home made chicken overload sandwich 2 chicken breast burgers baked in the over till crispy add some hot sauce inside them a good slice of cheddar and some bacon strips some very thin sliced onion and a drizzle of ranch it was a good hot spicy dinner.. but way to much, I could not finish the potato &amp; onion perogies or the corn on the cob..

breakfast a orange some apple slices added to a bowl of cornflakes

white spot they have some excellent salads and veggie meals.. I am biased as well I worked there for a a brief period of time.. I also worked subway too and am not a large fan of them.. they cut my hours to the point I had to find a new job... they treat the employees like dirt. mind this was long before they started the whole ridiculous sandwich artist crap... and when they had just 3 choices of bread.. the whole wheat, the white or the 4 inch round only available in white.. I do not buy subway it is only when I have a gift card from a radio station gift prize or some buy 1 get 1 free coupons. otherwise its quiznos thanks..


ahh lunch was some left overs of this and that... just kidding this is going to ready for  supper it takes 6 to 8 hours to be ready using low on a slow cooker or two on high

1 lb of ground beef lean should be browned but still pink, some of the fat is rendered and poured off before adding to the crock pot. if done right there should only be about 1/5 of a cup of fat left in the beef....

cups of water 4

carrots 6 medium sized ones about 2 finger lengths and thumb thick cut into 1/2 inch pieces

yellow onion 2 small ones cut into 6 pieces then mixed in the bottom of the crock  I like yellow onions in my chili but use Ur own favorite

2 diced cloves of garlic or 3 teaspoons worth

2 teaspoons course ground black pepper

a couple of pinches of fine ground sea salt

1 can black beans drained

1 can kidney beans

3 green chillies seeds removed diced finely

2 red chillies seeds removed (optional these little red ones are frigging hot u've been warned)

tomatoes 4 orange and 4 red I use very soft tomatoes for this they should be  nearly ready to be thrown in a garbage thats how soft they should be. I freeze mine the night before so I can cut them in to fine pieces with out losing any seeds or juice.
they will render down in your chilli.

1 green pepper diced up

 your choice of favorite chili powders... I make my own...though the townhouse brand is not to bad.

a crock pot to simmer it all in for the day or for a couple of hours deppending on how you want to make it.. it can also be done on stove top but I think it is not near as flavourful if done on stove top.. if you think it is to thin you can put it on the stove top and simmer down... I like mine chili messy... and hot... but not so hot as to set off the smoke alarms every time u breath out.. ahh back to the kitchen..

So sorry to hear about you father-in-law Lil Me.  Hope all goes smooth and well for him.

Yes, I think you should kick your brother-in-law, and give him one for me too, just because.

And yes, kick your boss too.  HARD.  I did that for years too Lil Me, and I regretted it when it got to the point where I was starting to get nickel and dimed.  The thing is, unfortunately, we almost give them permission to be jerks about it, by giving that in the first place.  They're all appreciative in the beginning, then they come to expect it.

Lil_me my prayers are for you and your father in law. you have my permission to smack your brother in law and if you wont did you want me to ? ... family is the number one priority in life.. and as for your boss, perhaps if you wrote down exactly how many hours you put in each week and bill him for those and add 5 just out of the hell of it =D perhaps he will see how much you actually work if he still wants to quibble over how you have been billing him.... I am not sure how possible that is for you though. I know you are pretty hot market stuff in what you did. wasn't  last year they hired you to run things for them... ?


I am in the mood for white spot now.. digs out piggy bank time to see whats in the contingency funds..

lunch was a bowl of cornflakes + blueberry's  and a glass of lemonade. dinner was 2 chicken burgers onions &amp; broccoli, plus a dinner roll with garlic butter, dessert was  2 chocolate caramel cashew things. . tomorrow will be left over chili for lunch and as for what I shall have for supper I do not have any plans it is Friday but alas not a payday. so it will probably be something from the freezer consisting of reheated left overs.

Blast I should really preread before posting.

REALLY sorry to hear that LM. When my grandmother on my mothers side was close to passing away on the island last year, nobody except my mother was really going to see her. She basically moved in and helped her parents for 4 months before the ending. The other siblings didnt come to right at the end, and then they blamed alot on her. Her youngest sister was a complete B*tch about it, and talked ALOT behind my mothers back. My mother ignored it... I didnt.
Theres no sence in gettting frustrated, I agree with you, but unfortunatley, different people deal with it different ways. I feel for you.

Thats too bad about your boss LM. Just do the 8 hours, with the .5 then dont do any extra like you used to? If he asks say sorry, you told me 8.5 ?

Thanks for the kind thoughts.

It was a pretty tough weekend in the Victoria hospital.  My mother-in-law went home for some R&amp;R- so I was responsible for spoon-feeding the 75-year-old man with staples in his head. *shivers*  I don't like hospitals, but I stepped up and did what needed to be done.

It will be a good week before a pathology report comes back on the tumor- but the surgeon believes it is likely cancerous. Sooo.. that will be our next hurdle.

  Looks like I will be eating a Sunshine Breakfast every Saturday morning on BC Ferries for the next while.

  Where did today's wind come from?

Diet Coke, chips and a pita.

Trying to fix up my buddy's new apartment as it hasn't been cleaned in 20yrs. The air vent in the bathroom which doesn't work had about 4inches of 'stalactite' dust and some hard stuff that felt and looked like pellets. Dead animal? Who knows.

So, who's jumping off the Canucks bandwagon?

 Was never on the band wagon........they are doing just what i thought they would..........i still think they will win this round but will not win next one
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on May 06 10 04:30
Well I am not on nor am I off the bandwagon. Win or lose I am still a fan. I have to admit I like it more when they win. but sadly I fear they will do what they have always done and that is blow it and leave us weeping tears of frustration once again...

But God damn it all, I want to cheer and hold my head up high to see the Vancouver Canucks skate with pride,, I so want that, to see Vancouver holding Lord Stanley's Cup up high to win it all... but I fear we will just end up with the taste of ashes in our mouths and that all to familiar foul taste of defeat ending in a state of despair and frustration as always..

I have been a fan since my  Father took me to a game so many many years ago.. Egads what was I, 7 or 8  years old, 30 or more years back at any-rate. Anyways I am not  sure my blood pressure can much more of these games. I was watching against  L.A, all my fingernails are chewed off, they are long gone. I fear I  will give myself a heart attack while in the process of cheering and  yelling in front of the telly.

Hey we only live once... What I  wouldn't give to afford a game in person.. right behind the Canucks  bench oh man... Maybe not a good idea, it is rough enough just watching the  games on T.V. How much more so in person.. I guess I am just a bit overly excited at the prospect once again.. I fear it will end as it always does but I pray it doesn't.... Go Vancouver Go.. Please ! Please !  Please ! bring us home the cup...

I remember the  original Vancouver game, and the day of the riot. I was dating Liza Aboe  at the time and we were attending her  younger sisters high-school  graduation... The game was on a big telly on  stage and to the left...  Lets just say the graduates were more or less forgotten about by I would  say 90 percent of the male's in attendance..

How she managed to  convince me to go to her sisters grad and not stay home for the Game, I  can not remember but some things are important and she was pretty good  at convincing me, besides they stated they would have the game on at the  grad ceremonies a good enough reason to go I had thought it would be a  bigger screen though.

Mean while all the men where glued to the  big old idiot box And most if not all of the women were carrying on with  the graduation ceremonies. I can not tell you anything about what was  said during the ceremonies, not a blessed word even if my life depended  on it. I sure can tell you what the hockey puck sounded like when it  hits a post and the groans and the tears of frustration from the men.

Have  you ever heard a thousand plus men say mother f*cker at the same  time... I am pretty sure I did... and a lot more choice invectives were  shouted off and on... but I can not remember when Liza's sister got her  diploma.. but I do remember the fouls, the fights, &amp; the penalties.  Lol the things we men forget and remember...  

Now I am not 100  percent sure how we got from the school to the party on Robson, if thats  what you want to call it. To many tears of frustration and rage, far to  many broken hearts to call that a party...but we where there... I was  still dumb struck at the loss and in shock I think. It is the only  reason I can think of why I do not remember leaving the grad or how we  managed to get to Robson...

My date and I barely escaped the  riot downtown, I manged to get Liza and myself safely to the sky-train  station and safely home but we had to run a gauntlet of insanity to do  so. Right behind us, and I do mean with in 50 to 100 feet... The crowds  along Robson were just turning insane. Tear gas was just starting to fly  further up along Robson...

  Liza and I had just managed to get  off of that main area about 5 minutes before the police let loose with  the tear gas. While evacuating down Granville, on the East side of the  street cause over on the West side by Eaton's the riot squad was working  over a group of idiots..

You could say it was More like running  hell bent for leather than a evacuation, we did not want to get caught  up in the rioting crowds nor the clouds of tear gas or beaten by the  police.. We did see some groups fighting with the officers (that group  of idiots fighting, getting beat on)  

Liza wanted to stop for  photos, yegads women think of dumb things at times and this was not a  good idea... I explained that to her, with my hand on her shoulder,  pushing her in front of me .We got to granville and Georgia street,  things were more orderly. some general malcontents and disorder but not  near as bad as what was going on by Eatons on Granville and Robson.

I  had to man handle a couple of goofs (youths, street kids, I guess) that  tried to mug her for her purse &amp; roses, I am Sorry to say one guy  went through the window at the Bay, he looked pretty cut up, I did not  stop to offer aid or check on his condition, there was guy 2 to deal  with yet &amp; luckily enough for me he high tailed it when I pulled my  lanyard belt / key-chain, a very wicked make shift weapon, about 40  inches in length with a clip of keys on 1 end and a small 18 ounce  monkeys fist on the other end., it hummed when spun in a circle. If it  hit you I am sure it would bruise and tear your flesh, thankfully it was  not put to the test.

Hey don't judge me, I had no time to fight  fair, besides my date was not gonna be hurt or mugged while with me...  We got to the skytrain safely enough and out before they shut the line  down. I escorted her safely home. The evening ended much sooner than  either of us liked but we had, had enough excitement at this point.. My  date came to no harm and neither did I, though from the news it seems a  few people were hurt and the night was pure insanity. I guess we were  lucky...  

Liza and I dated a few more times but nothing ever  came near as exciting as that date, I miss Liza, God rest her soul...  she passed a few years ago....

No I am not on nor off the  bandwagon, I am a fan and will always remain one.. I just can not take  the stress of the games.. I fear watching them and I fear not watching  them.. my fingernails are chewed to the skin, my knuckles are cracked  out, dare I watch another game what if we lose... Gods what If I don't  watch and we win...

As for whats for lunch lemonade and 2  hot dog buns with tube steak bratwurst sausage mild horseradish onion  diced Roma tomatoes &amp; a dab of HP sauce... I got a killer  headache and a upset stomach.. To watch the game or not... I am stressed  out over the games, not cause of bad food..

maybe I should just go do laundry and try not to be anywhere near a TV or radio for the next game...

Really? You think they can beat the Blackhawks? The problem with the team always seems to be the second round (where they lose it). The big hurdle where once they got over it, they'd be fine. But they're still too much of Jekyll and Hyde team.

Another week done.

  I'm getting sick of my boss' scizophrenic management style- focusing on everyone's negative attributes in order to "keep people motivated".  Constantly changing company focus and goals.  Expecting everyone to read his mind.

  Here's the kicker: our largest supplier sent an email to the office (my email address) with an invite to their annual customer appreciation boat cruise- specifically inviting me (the office manager) to attend.  I forwarded it to the boss.

And then the boss did not include me on the RSVP.

  I think he's terrified that if I attend an industry function, that I will literally jump ship to another company.

I made this weird vegetarian chicken paprikash dish (without the chicken) for dinner. It turned out a more pleasing than I had anticipated. That's three days in a row of weird concotions.

'North American style' bibimbap (egg, rice, Tabasco sauce, onions, peppers, mushrooms)
vegetarian paprikash (paprika, garlic, diced tomatos, onions, mushrooms)
and the salmon stir fry (salmon, peppers, mushrooms/sauce, onions, curry, paprika)

the grocery store was out of decent eggplant. So I've had to compensate.


I think I'll make my Swedish dish and try making lentil soup next.

I'm bored.

 I read that and think "heartburn". Can any substitutions be made for that? And the mushrooms. I don't like mushrooms. Maybe I should try something else since I pretty much can't eat or don't like everything listed  =(

[/p] Its not as 'omg heartburn attack' as you might think. Then again, I basically eat 1 whole onion a day and maybe my cultural and regional cuisine background may play a role in my tastes, which might make me more used to foods that others would not be so crazy about. (doubtful though)

Grrr.. so I Tripled my veggie plate, Now I am sitting here feeling way to damn full.

lol it is a funny expression, just not so funny, when you ruin your dinner, cause of improper or poor kitchen planning. To many things on the counter, this allowed to many chances for things to go wrong and like they usually do, they did just that. My own fault, for not taking the time to organize things before hand...

A giant pot of black beans, corn, diced tomatoes that ended up soupy (I was going for this), hot sauce, paprika, pepper over rice and an avocado on the side.

Then walked the beach and went to Diary Queen.
Then later, nighttime tea.

Ohh sports dude I am envious, that sounds very tasty... you got an exact recipe on the corn tomato onion  &amp; black bean dish or was it just a kitchen experiment ? some rough measurments perhaps ?


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 13 10 12:09
Oh, it was just a kitchen experiment like most things I do. I generally cook by 'picture' (equivalent to 'playing by ear').
What I made was basically vegetarian chili without the chili (meat).  I'm positive you can find much fresher and tastier ingredients! Because all I did was add a can of corn, can of diced tomatoes and black beans with a 'a lot' of Frank's hot sauce and about '4-5' table spoons of paprika with 'sprinkling' of salt and basil.

Chili. A staple food of the Midwest. The first time I made chili was when I was 12 or so.

If you need a fast food example. In the middle of the country, we have this fast food chain that most Canadians I know who've heard of this place just love - but I think it has more to do with the name- Steak'n Shake.

[a href="http://www.steaknshake.com/menu/genuine-chili"]http://www.steaknshake.com/menu/genuine-chili[/a]

I'd suggest trying to emulate the 'chili 5 way' with adding a 'vancouver' flavour to it by replacing the pasta with rice (be local with food as much as possible if you're going to go off the beaten path). Pasta reflects the urban Midwestern Italian influence. Example: I bet you don't eat homemade macaroni and cheese with steak or fried chicken (southern staple with bbq food that I need or a bbq dish isn't complete)

And then try this:
It's from the 'casual-fast food' (which has the highest market share in U.S. for eating out - equivalent to your local cafe in style)
[a href="http://www.qdoba.com/MenuFlavors.aspx"]http://www.qdoba.com/MenuFlavors.aspx[/a]
"Mexican Gumbo"
- I can't find pictures of this food on the net --but really you don't need to see it-- you have the ingredients, which is all you really need.

When I say I had eggplant curry - it looks like this:

Lil Me tried Hungarian chicken paprikash once if I recall.
You can easily find a million recipes for that, but I'd strongly suggest finding two kinds of paprika (that might be difficult around here) along with cloves of garlic for it. There used to be a high concentration of Hungarian restaurants/shops on Kingsway, but they're all gone now. But I've ran into a few of the '56ers on the bus, though. Good times.


Has anyone made Moussaka? That was my goal this year in cooking. I haven't done it yet, but would still like to try. However I heard it is a pain to make.

SD....you should try looking in deli's, gourmet food shops, or any kind of fancy kitchen store.  Finding two kinds of paprika is only difficult in your local grocery store.

Coombs old Country Market has at least 20 different kinds.  My favourite is smoked paprika.

 leftover shepherd's pie for dinner and an apple

I haven't tried making moussaka yet but I saw a version of it on the cooking channel where he used yogurt (instead of milk) as his base for the bechamel sauce.  It looked delicious, but I think everything does on the cooking channel!!  :)

I would grill the eggplant instead of browning it in the pan.  Plus, I would drain excess eggplant water by placing sliced eggplant on a paper towel for about half hour before grilling.  And I would use panko breadcrumbs.  For the yogurt, I would drain the water from it by having it sit in the fridge over night in paper towels to get it thicker.  I'm gonna have to try it soon as I seem to crave eggplants these days.  Maybe I could get MrPL eating eggplant too!!

Here's the recipe:

Hey Miss P.C.!

Baby is doing great! He's not crawling yet but can sit up if you prop him.  He can't roll yet either.  He's quite content just being on his back or tummy or sitting and playing with his toys/feet, for now.  He loves the jolly jumper.  Loves to stand and jump when you're holding him.  He loves to eat his food.

I just wish that he was a better sleeper though.  I haven't had any good sleep since I was preggers.

They only eggplant I have ever cooked is either grilled (first salted, squeezed and dried with paper towels) with olive oil, or stir-fried with pork and black bean sauce (using the Japanese eggplants).

 well the cruise presents you with the perfect opportunity to do just that and investigate all viable options seeking a new company to work for.  It does not mean you have to jump ship but it does allow for you to keep an open mind for furthering your career and should your current employer continue to forget your value, you will have accumulated a list of company's and people to start calling should the need arise. ;)

The Chickpea is more like a bean than a pea it goes by a few different names.

according to Wiki.

The chickpea (Cicer arietinum) (also garbanzo bean,  Indian pea, ceci bean, Bengal gram) is an edible [/font]legume [font style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17);" size="3"]of  the family Fabaceae, subfamily [/font]Faboideae[font style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17);" size="3"].  Chickpeas are high in protein and one of the earliest cultivated  vegetables. 7,500-year-old remains have been found in the Middle East.[/font]

I don't know... Depends on the field one goes into I guess.
Haha. If I put in 50yrs, I'll be in my mid 70s. And that's not counting 'career' which probably won't start until I'm 30, so that's 80.

I got bored last week and searched 'how long I will live' and the computer said 78. I won't make it.

Half of my family that's of retirement age died while working in the field/sitting in a tractor.
The other half moved to Florida and took up work at a country club so they could play golf.

Steamed a sticky rice wrap and a bunch of beers and Mike's lemonade last night.

  I had an issue to deal with.  After months of keeping my peace, I finally told the owner of my company what the service manager has been saying about him.  I couldn't hold it in any longer.  The service manager's opinions are so ignorant and off-base.

  Ulp.  I think that was the final nail in the service manager's coffin.

*sighs*  I had to say it.  Everyone else was pissed off, too.  He lost the respect of the technicians months ago.  We had all been tiptoeing around the situation for months.  But noone wanted to be "the one".  Well, I became "the one".

  So I had to follow-through.  Wrote a long report last night which detailed every problem- his lack of respect for the owner and the techs, his micro-management of the office staff, his constant criticism of other departments that have nothing to do with him- like purchasing/cash flow, his petty criticisms and racist comments about other people.

  I've shared my first draft with the boss, who was understandably not pleased to hear what the service manager had been saying.  But the boss will back me up (and pretend to be in the dark) when I meet the service manager later this week to address it.

Oh so good, but it put a 15 dollar dent in the wallet... Diet Sprite....

Sipping some black orange spiced tea as I write this.. sweetened with a drop of amber honey. This is very powerful honey, very sweet &amp; the taste is very cloying if you use to much. 30 ml per 2 liters would be a strong flavorful iced tea mix. This Honey has lasted me nearly 3 months. I got to remember to buy more a little dollop will go a very long way... Problem is finding more of it, Quebec honey and I no longer work at the warehouse where I bought it from =( I doubt I will be able to get it at wholesale price (8 dollars wholesale) store prices tend to be about 15 dollars...

Damn I want a nice thick T-Bone steak fresh off the BBQ...

The reality is I will have to settle for a less expensive meal, for the cost of 1 T-bone, I can make 3 slow cooked stews 1 with medium ground hamburger, 1 with some chicken &amp; 1 with some pork, when you add some lentils or pot barley &amp; rice, add a can of diced tomatoes to mix with some thick cut veggies after being out all day you get to come home to slow cooker stew...

While this may not be near as good as Honey Garlic Chicken with Sweet onions and Yam fries but if I budget I can afford 1 good steak per month and at least 1 nice little resteraunt meal for myself, and lots of good stews.

Yes, purelife, it was one of the very bad ones... I am out of migraine medication  did you know 6 tablets of Zomeg costs 95 dollars.. What a time for the government to cut off my free medical... So I am toughing it out with the Advil and just trying to relax.. It is not helping much.

If I get the inkling of a headache coming on I head straight to bed for some meditation and relaxation and pray it won't turn into a migraine.. I have a killer headache right now, it is not migraine strength but near enough, so I am going  to go back to my bed.

hot sauce + a salsa
flour tortillas

to make it vegetarian just add cheese.

combinations are endless.

Hey SD - Lise and her family looked happy and healthy.  Her girls are so big now and beautiful too!  I remember her wee babe when she was only a few months old.  How quickly they grow up.

I could when I get back home.
I have a 4,000 acre farm at my disposal. All I would have to do is to tell my cousin to grow this years crop of sweet corn organically.

I was thinking in more of lines of wheat tortillas, as I'm not suppose to eat a lot of corn products.

 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: P.C. on Jun 10 10 11:17
I don't think organic happens quite like that SD.  In order to have soil deemed as organic or for certification, land must have had no prohibited materials applied to it for a minimum of three years.  Some longer if testing still shows levels of toxins.

  But I think corn tortillas have little or no sodium added, unlike flour or wheat tortillas.

Hai everyone!

First day of work tomorrow.  I'm not sure why but I fear not getting up.  I'll have to get used to this new routine.  I've been off work for so long!!  But, I know that when I do show up, my team is gonna be happy to see me. :)

It looks like my LO has a possible milk allergy, so no formula, no yogurt, anything with milk.  I was lucky to find rice/oatmeal cereals without milk because the well-known brands have milk ingredients.  We're waiting to see a ped. allergist/dermatologist to get things all confirmed and see how serious it is.  I read that this goes away.  It's just weird that he has it when we don't have a milk allergy.
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Jun 13 10 04:34
I remember hearing that happens and that it does go away. I also heard some children do not tolerate cows milk well but they do better with goats milk...

Pirogies and watched the Germany game.

Another body of a female jogger has been found in the park. The body was found on the same trail and entrance as the murder from last year. I'm still waiting for an actual police force and self aware community around here, but I doubt I'll live in the UEL long enough to see it. The RCMP cares more about pouring out someone's beer at the beach, and the 'community' is only interested in the 'self'.

French Canadian Pea Soup and a toasted hot dog bun...  what I did not under stand is the difference in the pea soups, this one is a yello pea and not the green ones and it had no ham in it =( I also found it to be rather bland, I bought 3 cans on sale hopping it was a nice pea soup but I was sadly mistaken.

I will not buy this style of pea soup again a complete waste of money.

Post by: Orik on Jun 14 10 06:38
Ohh I found this on a blog and it looks tasty.. can we guess whats on the lunch menu tomorrow +)

*Tomato and Chick Pea Soup*
Serves 2
[a style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);" href="http://sites.google.com/site/oakcottagerecipes/tomato-and-chick-pea-soup"]Printable  Recipe[/a]

A store cupboard recipe that goes together in a flash  and uses things that most of us have on hand in our larders.  Tasty and  filling.  Don't overdo the smoked paprika . . . you only want a hint of  the flavour . . .you don't want it to take over.

a spash of  olive oil
1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 small  garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 stalk of celery, minced
1 tsp  finely chopped rosemary
1 14-oz tin of chick peas, drained
1  14-tin of cherry tomatoes, undrained
1/8 tsp of smoked paprika
1  bay leaf broken in half
2 cups vegetable stock
salt and black  pepper to taste
1 TBS chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Heat the  oil in a large heavy saucepan.  Add the onion, garlic, celery and  rosemary.  Cook and stir for several minutes, until the vegetables have  softened.  Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, and stock.  Stir in the bay leaf  and smoked paprika.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Bring to  the boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or so.   Discard the bay leaf.  Using a stick blender, blitz it a few times to  crush some of the peas, but you want a lot of texture and some whole  peas, so don't overdo it.  Taste and adjust the seasoning as required.   Stir in the parsley and serve in heated bowls.

I love tomatoes and always have at least 3 or more cans on hand, and I like chickpeas so always have a few cans about. bet I could substitute black beans and or kidney beans too.  I keep most of these ingredients on hand so it should be easy to make.

So far, I haven't missed any of his 'firsts.'  If I do, I told daddy to take a video of him.  If I didn't have to work, I would chose to stay at home.  So far, baby has been giving daddy a real hard time.  He screams/cries wanting his mommy and doesn't want to nap without putting up a HUGE fuss for daddy.  When lil one was with me, I put him down for naps without a cry at all and he would nap at around 1.5 hrs x 2.  Now, daddy would be lucky to get 1 hr for the entire day!  Baby is also going through a bit of separation anxiety (he developed this when I went back to work).  He doesn't like it if I leave the room.  He was fine before (work) but not now.  And now, he wants daddy to hold him and not leave him alone.  We have definitely noticed some changes in him, day and night since I have left for work and it has only been two days!  Oh boy!!!

I'm so exhausted though.

   I'm so happy I never missed out on any of those "firsts". I used to take care of children in my home while attending high school/college and I used to feel so sorry for the mothers when I'd tell them of all the firsts and the fun we had throughout the day. I feel blessed to have been able to stay home when I became a mother. I've told my SO of the fun I had during those times and am often reminded of them come the summer time (no school). I even look around at all the summer activites we could be doing. That tends to break my heart. Kids are only kids for so long. My SO has offered several times to care for all our financial needs so that I can quit my job and stay home but I've yet to take him up on his offer.

  It's hard to see or know they cry cause they want you. If you're like me, as soon as you're out of their sight you cry too. But then you'll also be heartbroken when they don't cry for you. *sigh* being a mother is emotionally challenging.



I hope everyone adjusts exceptionally well.[/DIV]

Went to this zagat rated japanese place in the 'Cambie village' where one piece of sushi is 3.50...

I cheated the place and got chicken udon and bbq eggplant for 12. I think I got the better deal.

Weird 'village'; I can't believe my buddy and I seriously thought about living there.

This is bad. Im from vancouver and dont have a clue what cambie village you are talking about SD. Was the sushi good at least? I find for sushi places now, we usually head to Kingsway Sushi on Boundary and Kingsway, Richmond Sushi, and I think its Denman Sushi near Robson and Denman. Although we tend to avoid the downtown place more than we used to for my truck is hard to find parking for, and Starfishie sold her car. Then told me.

  Lunch was better than normal. I guess its cause the Italiens are gone now. LOL, every spread doesnt have two pasta dishes as a minimum.

When finished topped with Chili sauce some rendered hamburger fat and the other half of the bovrel packet give it a stir let sit for a couple of minutes to cool serve topped with meat sauce. or just as it is with steamed vegies.

I&#039;m pretty convinced that the basement suite culture in  Vancouver, which young people will have to subject themselves to -well  into their mid-30s and early 40s - can be stomached for too much longer. Projections  in 2050 suggest that the city&#039;s average age will be in the 50-60s.

Well, Lunch was pasta, chicken cordon bleu type with a bunch of other stuffs in there as well? Steak, salad, and french fries wth option of rice.

  Dinner was a big bbq.. which of course due to my shift I slept through, lol. I am disappointed I missed it.    
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Jun 27 10 02:35
Such is life Russ, Sorry you slept through the BBQ but when one works strange days and strange hours or unusual hours like we do, well things like that happen. ..

I am contemplating Megabyte Pizza for Lunch/Dinner. combo.There is better food I just do not know what I want to do yet. I am as of yet still undecided. I may just save my money and go for sushi tomorrow instead, While I settle for some oven baked crispy chicken. Alas I have no flour but I do have cornflakes, the lack of flour will make the breading and egg mixture not stick to well. I think the chicken will be rather tame lacking flour to mix the spices. What a conundrum..


 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Jun 27 10 03:47
 I decided on the Oven baked chicken. I used the hot sauce and butter to coat the chicken. I suppose I could of used the eggs. With out flour, but why waste a perfectly good egg. The chicken took some marinating 1/2 an hour before I rolled it in the cornflakes.

The coating did not stick that well,  I will have to see how well the chicken comes out in 45 minutes. I think it is not going to urn out to well. Well fingers crossed,  worst case scenario I peel the coating off and turn the chicken in to a chicken salad sandwich instead.

   
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Jun 27 10 04:44
 Well time to go see how well it has turned out or how bad it is.. Fingers crossed.

   Edit.

The time is now 5:07 PM. The Chicken was slightly disappointing. The breading did not stick well. It stayed in the pan. I peeled off the coating and used the thighs to make 3 subs instead. One for dinner today. The left overs for lunch tomorrow,  I must remember to pick up some more all purpose flour tomorrow, so this does not happen again.

  Speaking of which.. I hope to be home around the 11th or 12th. Subject to weather of course.

Yes I know I am taking it off and relaxing, did some cleaning a little cooking. I still have more cleaning to do yet, does it never end... Then I have Church, shopping and laundry for Sunday... Gads I hate laundry days...


Lunch today is, [a href="http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/Portuguese-Chicken-Burger-L2474.html"]chicken thigh burgers[/a] topped with caramelized red onions (just a fancy way of calling them fried ;) Do not forget to top them with some raw lettuce and do not forget the Spinach (want to be sneaky and get your kids to eat spinach just add it to these chicken thigh burgers and last but not least the inch thick tomato slices

(I really love tomatoes and think every one else should too) ....
be warned them tomatoes make this a messy item so they will drip. Use a napkin or three to protect good shirts blouses or dresses accordingly.


Now I use some Jalapeño ranch dressing on one side and a dollop of plum sauce with green chilies on the other a side of them I also substituted the Jalapeño Ranch Dip for the mayo in the recipe...

The plum sauce and chilies I buy in china town from a market sorry i don't know the name of it... Stong's market has its own own hot sauce brand. This is a excellent choice for those that love the taste of  hot with out the heat..  Perfect to dip in if you want more flavour with  out to much heat.

My salad today is my infamous heart burn salad. Start with some 3 to 4 good hand fulls of Arugula (type of lettuce) some small spinach leaves remember to use half the amount than you did for lettuce. 1 cup sliced thin Watercress and 2 cups baby corn (the watercress and baby corn are optional)  2 cups halved salad tomatoes (also called cherry tomatoes) 1 cup thinly sliced radishes use white or red radishes what ever your pleasure is these will add a lovely peppery taste to the salad. add 1 to 1.5 cups of English cucumber thats the long thin one not the short fat ones . I peeled and diced mine before adding some people prefer to keep the skin. again whatever your preference is. Add some red onion if you wish, but there is plenty on the chicken thigh burgers. but sine i love onion I added one more cup of them diced. add some sesame seeds and sunflower seeds.. 6 to 8 of each .

now for the dressing you want something light to let the full flavour of the veggies through...
Try this lemon pepper dressing Stolen from molly it is her dressing recipe
4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 small cloves of garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press
1 tsp. finely shredded lemon zest (optional)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp.dry mustard

Preparation:
Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl or put them in a jar and shake to blend. Use immediately or store, covered and chilled, up to 1 week (olive oil will solidify in the refrigerator but will melt quite quickly at room temperature again).

Add to the salad and toss just before serving..

The salad will serve 4 people who are very hungry or 6 who are semi hungry.  the salad will last for 3 days in a cold fridge after that it will wilt and soften.

You have it correct, but I'm not switching schools; I'm doing distance education. I'll be back next, next year to finish up and then head off to grad school (finally).

My trip home is going to be epic. My friend has 2.5wks off and he's paying for hotels. We're driving down the west coast on highway 1, stopping in San Fransisco and then on to Los Angeles; then we are going to Las Vegas, which is where he flies back to Winnipeg to work and I head off to the Grand Canyon via Mt Zion National Park. The plan after that is to visit Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, El Malpais National Monument in New Mexico, Petroglyph National Monument among others. I think I'll camp a lot.

It sounds like a nice long drive back home.  Have a safe journey, SD.  I'm sure you'll have plenty of stories to gain along the way. :)

Are you looking forward to being back at home and doing distance ed?  

Hope everyone is doing good.  
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 08 10 01:16
Hopefully the trip happens. My friend is getting cold feet and is now saying things that would not exactly register as encouragement e.g. ('we should skip that tree park you wanted to go to' - yes, lets just skip the redwoods, not. But I've been to San Fransisco three times already, I might get bored' - how, it's San Fransisco? - and I've never been). If it falls through my back up plan was to visit most of the big uni schools and swim in the Great Salt Lake, hit the towns I love in Wyoming, windmills in Kansas etc. To be honest, I'd rather do that then go on this world wind tour with a guy who isn't the best travelling partner. Oh well. I could still call the whole thing off in protest, but I'm not French.

The S.F. Giants are at home during my birthday, but the other traveller wants to be in L.A.

Oh I should have stories, hopefully good ones, hopefully ones that sell. If not oh well. lol

Distance Ed should be good. In theory I could graduate through distance ed in two years if push comes to shove and things get really bad. That would be odd, but then again who knows.

I like it here in Vancouver, but the place is just too expensive.

And I haven't been home in years. I've got to go back before I become Marty in Back to the Future II.

Also, it's also a whole heck of a lot warmer down there. I have mixed feelings over the heat.

So whats for Lunch... Well today my lunch / dinner was from the Quick pick food store at 531 East Hastings Street.  let me tell you Good news travels fast in this neighbourhood it travels almost as fast as the Vancouver police on their way to a do-nut shop... ...

So today I decided to go on out and try this new place I had been hearing about. I hopped on my Bike and rode on up to the Quick Pick. I was impressed and left in a hurry to get home and try my meal. I must say it was worth riding out in the heat of the evening sun to get these eats. The price and portions just can not be beat.

Every one who knows me, knows I know food, I love a good bargain and a  good meal. Both of which can be found at Quick Pick foods. This little corner store has a wide variety of Stocked goods, while I can not compare the stocked good prices here to other corner stores, I can tell you about the Rotisserie Chicken on rice. Brown or White rices available...

This White rice is fried and then steamed. They would not tell me the full list of spices they used or the complete recipes. I can understand that. It is a part of his wifes family history you could even say it is a secret recipe. While I wont pry deeply on the secrets. I can Say I will return.

The portions are large and any one who has seen the size of me knows it takes a lot to fill me up. This meal left me stuffed.  The whole rice (brown) is fluffy moist and delicious. While the White rice is slightly sticky I also found it to be fluffy and moist. I may not be able to eat this meal with my chopsticks, I did make short work of this delicious meal with little spillage on my shirt.

They provided a small salad. it was pretty basic, you could say it was simple even. It consisted of some lettuce with a ranch style dressing, chopped tomatoes, not large or watery, but nice chunks &amp; considering the price of tomatoes today, I am thankful they did not cheap out on them.

They used a Romain or rugula style of lettuce, I am not sure of the kind, I'm more a meat eater than a veggie man...It was large, dark green and leafy, very crisp, cold and slightly sweet. What I found at the bottom surprised me, for I did not expect to see, the large chopped pieces of cucumbers... Delicious if I do say so myself. It may not of been fancy, but it was good.

The topping off of that salad with a dill pickle, was a homestyle favorite of mine, when I was a child and it made me smile from ear to ear. It brought back good home memories as I bit in to the warm crispy pickle, ah so good.

Now this rotisserie chicken is a lemon spice &amp; slightly curried or similar style of spice, it was not hot. So for those who are afraid it is spicy, I can tell you it is not spicy. They removed the skin before marinating and before they added it to the rotisserie. they claim the meals are at least 75 percent fat free.

I do not dispute that. The chicken was not dry, nor was it moist, it was pretty darned good, even if i do say so myself.  It was a nice sized leg with the back still attached, it was not a small piece of chicken, I would not call it large either a good medium sized piece.. and very tasty.

This is just my opinion of course I recommend that if your in Vancouver, in this neck of the woods and heading West on hastings pull over on the North side and give this place a try... If you are headed East I tell you the same, pull on over and give them a try if you are game.

Now Abid would not tell me the full list of ingredients, again it is more of Abid's wifes family secrets. Abid is the store owner and operator Of Quick Pick foods, the cleanliness of the store was spot on &amp; the food was good.

I am impressed. Sorry folks it is for take out only, no room to eat in but they have all a man on the commute could want even with a little parking  directly in front bus stops on both corners with in walking distance. there may not be much parking but their is some.

No noticible bike racks to close, for those on a bicycle the nearest I saw was at Jackson and Hastings on the North side of Hastings and the East side of Jackson, So Watch Your Bikes. I know I kept a I on mine, while they made my meal to go..  they may not be fast cause they had  4 other customers besides myself.. When i got home and sat down to my meal I was hungry and it filled me up..

I give this place a 4.5 out of 5 on the Star scale for great eats. For a total of 5.00 and some tax I got a great big old meal that left me no room for seconds.  sighs. now i sit here digesting the yogurt mint dressing that I used with the rice and Chicken So happy and content i think it is a time for a nap...

I can say Look out Quick Pick foods Orik has found a new place to go for a meal once or twice a month finances willing...

If you are not to hungry, Give there Rotisserie Chicken Burger a try. it is the Pulled chicken served on a big bun with some good sauce a bit of lettuce and their secret recipe chicken... So yummy... needs more tomatoes and some onions in my opinion but this too is a good snack if you are in need of a lighter repast.

Catch you all on the flip side of Vancouver... Enjoy the eats see you out and about on the streets.

Quick Pick Foods, 531 East Hastings Street, Vancouver. B.C

Abid states he has hot food ready to go usually starting from 3 pm till midnight... Stop by and tell him I said hi...


 Peace ...

  Sorry to hear about that SD.. unfortunatley some people can only take so much of a trip like that. I find when me and a group of friends do something like that, we tend to have to do some partying and some touristy stuffy stuff. Not everyone likes the same touristy stuff.

  Well, lunch was seasoned chicken breasts, french fries, pasta salad, cod, and some sort of soup.

Looking forward to breakfast.. should be steak and eggs.

BBQ Chicken. Sadly it was way to sweet, it needed less brown sugar &amp; perhaps a bit more dry mustard with some black strap molasses to thicken it some. A side of fried tatters &amp; a slightly wilted garden salad. A very unimpressive lunch.

Eh, no worries. Heck, I was underestimating how much stuff would take up the car. Packing is a game of tetris. I think I'll have enough space just for myself.

He's still going to SF but I just want to get home, so we'll meet up today/this morning at the airport.

I'm basically packed. And by that I mean I have half of the stuff in the car, half of it at my place; and the stuff that is in my place is packed. So I might hit up the pub tomorrow night.

Wednesday morning though, 3,800km beckons. I should be somewhere near the utah/idaho border Wednesday night. Trying to take this trip easy. Thursday I'll be swimming in the a lake full of salt --well, lets be honest here-- I will merely be floating ;)

I promised my mother I would not buy anymore books (I'm bringing home 50. Yes, 50.) But I have a knack for finding something related to something in some independent/used bookstore. lol

No D I'm not back to work, I just spent a bit more on some good food this time out. I have to be able to spoil myself once in awhile. Also got 4 lbs of ground sirloin for a good deal less than 9 dollars it was a bargain I could not pass over. It is not something I can afford to do often though not when I normally buy 1 lb of regular ground at 1.49... I also like to think I constantly keep my eyes and ears open for good  deals or bargains. Coupon click as needed.

I also received a return on my past 12 months of medication expenses, I was thankful to receive a reimbursement check from great western life the insurance agent that handles my medical claim. I recieved a large sum of money. not near as much as I had hoped but many madications not covered by pharmasave are also not covered by the insurance agent.

I also received a bill for 120.15 for the past 3 months of extended medical because I am 192 hours short. Considering I only had 48 hours of work the bill was not surprising, but that is life.

Time to take a nap. catch you later D.

   I love cooking homemade chili when the weather is cold. This last winter I went grocery shopping to cook this type of meal and just about all the ingrediants were gone. Apparently lots of people love a warm bowl of chili during a nice snow day.

 Yeah D. for 50 cents a can they are great. It is even better if you can buy them with a coupon, then you get 3 for 1.00 talk about bargains and if you can use the coupons when Safeway has the 5 cans for 4 dollars sale, well then you can get some serious money saving in.  

1 can of beans = 2 meals. Add some hot dogs, some onion &amp; a some tomatoes and you got a full meal. low calories and filling. best of both worlds then.

lunch today was Breakfast Sausage and eggs.  I still feel hungry =( The problem with having sausage and eggs for lunch is if you eat them without the hash-browns and toast you will still feel hungry afterwards. I think it is the carb's from the potatoes and toast that break down to sugar, so when mixed with the proteins you have that good feeling of being happy and full. Well satisfied is what a good meal should make you feel.

Grr and no fruit to snack on I will have to go to the market..

White Spot.

Although we had breakfast for lunch.

We went down to point roberts yesterday to pick up a package. Wasnt that bad of a border lineup, and amazingly enough the border guards were really friendly!

Also finally got my pool running properly yesterday and finished the setup. We levelled the ground underneath it this year as we didnt the year before and it looked pretty wonky like that. We then put a yard a half of sand on top.. but I didnt think to put anything under the support poles, so while the pool was levelled, the poles sunk through the sand and the pool is again a bit sloped. Ah well, next year I guess.

Hope eveyones having a good weekend!

lol.. you poor thing. I've put off getting a pool the past few years for those very reasons. I tried to have one in the past but if it's not one thing, it's another. When you finally figure out a fool proof trick, let me know.

 
For lunch I had a turkey burger and baked fries.

Salad, Cole Slaw. Chicken &amp; Some chips or French-fries but they still have the skin on them so they are not true fries more like potato skins or home-fries or country fried taters... . but they are not potato chips either. I am sad I wasted money on them because they were =( over done, they ended up in the thingy for landfill... apartment compost that's the word I want...  

I would normally return to the restaurant and demand a refund but for 2 dollars and for the heat I am not riding 8 blocks there and back 16 blocks total not for 2 dollars if it had been 5 dollars or something closer. I might have. But I am fatigued and overheated. it is just to damn hot. my mounted temperature gauge in the shade says28 degrees.

Tarter sauce and that other white meat which is the Baked chicken and the fried chicken. The fried chicken was undercooked. =(  which doesn't matter I can put in the oven and reheat it and cook it through  out for supper. but the skin will have to be thrown out fried chicken thats recooked will make the skin inedible..

Besides it's to fatty I really should of returned the meal it was a sub-par.. but the salad &amp; the garlic bread along with the coleslaw and the baked chicken were excellent. It was only the fried stuff that was crap.. The BBQ chicken was excellent I really wish I had gone with a 4 piece of the BBQ instead of 2 piece fried and 2 piece BBQ.

The sauce was marvellous this time, not to sweet &amp; not to salty. The Chicken gravy was to salty. bah.. Will save it to make some fried grits tomorrow so it wont get wasted. The tarter sauce had a nice tangy &amp; zesty kick It was excellent on the chips I did eat. And for desert I had frozen sugar cane.. sadly it is canned and not fresh but oh it was so good..

I had half a can of it with 2 scoops of orange mint sherbet. I washed it all down with 2 giant glasses of heavily iced &amp; slightly sweetened lemon Iced tea not the powdered crap either but the real brewed ice tea..

I am so full I still have half of a giant salad and half the coleslaw left plus there is still 2 more pieces of fried chicken and a half a box of rice. 2 more cans of sugar cane. 6 litres of iced tea.. 2 litres in the freezer in ice cube trays..

I turned 2 litres of the Safeway brand sparkling black-cherry flavoured water. Into ice pops or Popsicles they have 0 calories to them they are good in this hot weather.

I spoiled my self rotten with sheer decadence today.. If I don't do it no one else will so I deserved it and I took myself out.

 lol

Making a list might help. I make them for almost everything and a couple of days in advance. Except when I'm going away on a trip. My list is made a week or so in advance, then my packing is done 2 days before I leave with the little things being packed the day before.

I have lots of lists and notes. Cant always remember them in the first place.
Sometimes i dont want to know the list.

D, I ended up not stopping when I was out cause I was running out of time before a friend showed up to help me move some stuff. I ended up having pizza pockets.

Lunch yesterday was from safeway, the whole time the hag there was complaining about how its not her job to be a subway sandwich maker in a safeway. One of the other customers there told her to quit then. Man did she ever change in a flash of a second to a different person.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Aug 08 10 02:21
A semi full freezer is better than a empty one..

lunch was breakfast

ingredients double for 4 people halved for 2
4 - 8 white nugget potato's
4 - 12 British bangers
1 - 2 small shallots
1 large tomato
2 - 4 eggs
2 - 4 slices cheddar mozzarella Edam or processed cheese I use cheddar.
2 - 4 slices whole wheat bread

4 Small White BC Yukon or BC Nugget potato's with the skin still on them, just make sure you scrubbed them clean. In warm slightly soapy water. Rince well in cold water to make sure all dirt and soap is removed.

Now cut them into small pieces boil in salted water I use 4 cups water &amp; 3 pinches salt or 5 mls which ever is less  I have them on a medium boil for 5 to 10 minutes or just until  they are semi soft. or to your desired preference, when done drain and dry on some paper towel.

Now dice up 1 Small shallot add it to the potatoes mix in 1 table spoon real butter let stand 5 minutes mix a little more make sure butter has coated it all. Now add 1 teaspoon butter to your frying pan. let it start to sizzle and starts to brown throw in your taters cook till golden brown. mixing with your spoon often.

4 big fat juicy bangers (The British One's)

2 Eggs Steamed Sunny Side up

Home made hash-browns From scratch With a teaspoon of real butter

fried tomato slices...

Cook everything using the oven as a warmer. cook your toast last

Put the fried tomato rounds on top of the toast and cheese top with oyur egg serve with the side of hash browns and your sausage.. sit down and chow down

Eat till full or till you can't stand up which ever comes first.. smile you just ate one very unhealthy meal.. eat once a month unless you want to gain weigth then eat once a day..


Smile folks we live only once and to heck with what the nutritionist says, Eat what you want at least once per week.. and listen to the nutritionists the rest of time. this makes life much more enjoyable

my dad is very old and this was a classic breakfast in our household I missed mum's cooking and spent the better part of 1 hour in my kitchen reliving a classic British meal.. I just wish I had some black currant juice to drink with my breakfast to make it complete.. also missing is the porridge with apples cinnamon and some very cold from the ice box some sweetened clotted cream..

OMG ! Purelife!!!

Jumps up and gives you a big bear hug...

Big Hugs Girl, you have been missed, &amp; it is nice to see you.. Please find more time to post with us... I hope all is well with you.. how is work for you ?  how's the little one ? how are you doing? how is your husband ? how's the house ? I got millions of questions, I just don't know what to ask..  



roast is in the oven.. =) in a couple of hours dinner will be served. Since  I am serving this on Grilled garlic toast there will be no potatoes or rice.

I am making a beef and mushroom gravy from the Roasts fat..

I will be using Portobello Mushroom caps  ( spelling ?) diced up &amp; I will put it in to the gravy during the last 15 minutes.

In a separate pan add milk and beef stock or water and a beef bovrol packet.  add flour and the roasts juices &amp; those fat trimmings you cut off and saved now bring it all to a boil on high, lower to a medium heat and reduce stirring often till it gets to the desired thickness (about 5 to 8 minutes) then lowered to low and let simmer to stay warm. it should get a thick layer on top...  While the roast cools in its own juices, use a large fork to pierce the roast to let the juices out, let it cool 5 to 10 minutes...  

When all is ready, Slice thin and serve on top of your grilled garlic toast.. add 1 to 2 table spoons of the beef and mushroom gravy.

 add any of the roasts left over juices to some soya sauce and a small side dish for dipping the garlic toast in if people wish.. I myself like to eat the roast and the toast at the same time.. =)

Served with a heaping side of Steamed Corn &amp; Carrots..  

You can add Rice or mashed potatoes.. but you dont need them because of the carbs and starchs in the garlic toast..

of you are like me you add a bunch of whole cherry tomatoes served chilled on another small side dish so as not to cool the hot veggies or roast..

lunch today was
2 thumb sized pieces of chicken cordon blue
6 oven baked till golden crisp hot wings as an appetizer
and 2 thick slices of French bread with garlic butter grilled golden brown
veggies were thick slices of tomatoes served cold..

and about 90 minutes till supper will be ready..  and another 15 minutes before I need to marinate the roast again. I will probably cover with tin foil for the last 30 minutes to keep the outside from becoming over cooked. i could choose to turn the oven down. but i like my roast beef Medium to well done.. and it is a fine line.. it can very easily become to dry.. i want this moist juicy.. and tender..


god i love to cook.. i only wish I was a good one...

HEY EVERYONE!

  Last night's dinner was a fettuccine with smoked salmon, onions, garlic and capers sauteed in white wine.  I dreamt about it earlier in the week.  So it became a reality last night (and today's lunch and dinner).

  Last night I dreamt about lemonde, so I'll be making some this weekend!

  Yam soup, crusty bread and pepperoni for dinner.  Oh, and a wedge of smoked applewood cheddar.  It was some great pepperoni from Oyama Sausage Co on Granville Island.  My son Heckyl and I shared some turkey, elk and bison pepperoni.   YUUUUUM.

  Last night Heckyl and I had a root beer taste test.  Barq's, Mug and A&amp;W.  He liked A&amp;W (which is almost identical to Mug) and I preferred Barq's.

  Quiet week.  MrLM is away on business and Jeckyl is at grandma's.

  Aww Lil_Me you have made me hungry and jealous, what you ate just sounds so good.....

I am happy you liked the lemonade recipe it has been around for a very long time. I like the concentrated lemon juice cause it is so inexpensive, while fresh lemons are a chore to get at times and a pain to squeeze.. If you are using fresh lemon juice, try it with only 3/4 of a cup sugar, to 7 cups water and 2 cups ice..

For Myself I like my lemonade just slightly sweet, but not to sweet. I find the fresh lemon and lime make a world of difference to the flavour. For me, it just gives a glass of lemonade a slightly tart bit of bite. While at the same time it is remaining sweet. Not to tart &amp; not to sweet but just right, the perfect way to quench a thirst on a hot day..

 I hope you get a chance to try it freshly made with at least, 1 added lime to give it a bit of a extra om-ff. I would make the fresh batch made more often, except it really. is just such a pain to juice the lemons.Maybe I should buy a juicer, but how does one justify the expense, when you do not use it often. I still make it the old fashioned way with a knife and a spoon, which is a real pain in the ass method for making lemon juice. So I choose to mostly use the concentrate lemon juice and add a couple of fresh ones just to get the lemon &amp; lime wedges or slices... Every once in awhile I will make it all from scratch.

If it is not sweet enough you can always add more sugar.. and if not tart enough more lemon juice but then I recommend 2 table spoons at a time.. and taste test as you go. taste test with the table spoon. This my secret to making the perfect picture of lemonade. Yes it is a chore but I feel it is well worth it, cause once you find one that works best for you, you can continue to make it that way &amp; stick to it for always having the perfect glass.

Damn I do type to much..

  No lunch today

Tonights supper shall be
Yorkshire pudding.
mushroom gravy.
Parmesan roasted potatoes,
corn on the cob..
Steamed cauliflower..

the main entrée will be Either T-Bone steak or Cornish game hen.. I have not quite made up my mind which I want more the hen or the steak

Side note if I can get the butcher to order some fresh rabbit, I will be quite happy. I would like to buy some for a stew next week and I would like to have it at least 48 hours in advance for the red wine marinate.

T-Bone porterhouse steak.  

20 ounces before cooking.. I used a New-York steak spice 48 hrs before grilling I Grilled my steak till medium rare. Normally I go rare but I am not sure I had the temperatures hot enough. so I went with medium rare just to play it safe.  

For side dishes I served it with

Grilled garlic bread.

Baked Potato's with Sea salt &amp; butter a 2 sides 1 of sour creme 1 of fresh chives an green onions

Secondary side was Grilled Seafood consisting of green pepper, cherry tomatoes, baby shallots &amp; jumbo prawns on a skewer. if using wooden skewers soak in water for 30 min prior to making the kebabs...  I marinated the Prawns In a lime an chili sauce. I made enough extra to keep separated to brush on the kebabs as I grilled them to give them that much extra omf for flavour

This Surf and turf dinner.. my cost for dinner tonight was 14 dollars. With enough prepped food to serve 2 people.. I got left overs to cook for lunch tomorrow.  I think the total cost to eat out would run about 35 dollars per person. and here i prepared enough food for 2 meals x 2 people..

Only problem is I am tired now.. and the house is to hot from the cooking.. the wind blew all the heat inside.. :)) but the hall way ssmells yummy like grilled steaks instead of stale smoke and sour beer ..

It's a type of steak cut into strips. Some people cook them with extras like peppers and onions but I like mine marinated then grilled.

Whoop Russ... Blessings be to you and yours you tall man,. i can not vouch for any one else but I am glad you dropped in to say hi to us. Congratulation on the wedding, I think I gave them before, but more are always good.. Great news on  the girl child to be.. May you be blessed with angels all around..

You have no idea how seloso (jealous) I am, over the meals you eat... Tisk, Enjoy your working vaction, go easy on the beer, eah. I don't know why, but you seem to get into some interesting exploits when you drink and then you return with some adventurous stories of your intoxicated evening.. One day it may not be a pleasant one &amp; you now got the wife and the little one on the way to worry about. So Be Careful.. Sheesh now I sound like my flaming father...

Have Fun Russ And keep us all filled in on life on the other side of the planet..And your strange or amazing exploits.  

Lunch today was a rather simple Knorr Chicken noodle soup, Asian style with fresh green onions Chinese broccoli instead of bokchoi ( I don't like bokchoi much) &amp; a couple of drops of toasted sesame oil.  for such a simple meal it was pretty good, but needed more meat.  

I will do this again but add some diced chicken and perhaps some fresh cilantro...

what a beautiful day..

Thanks Orik.. Well the dinner wasnt as good today but still great. I keep missing breakfast, but tomorrow I have plans to make it. I normally eat breakfast and no lunch. We had snapper, chicken, and some sort of pork stir fry.

Well, onto the beer. ice cold can of san miguel.

You dont like Bokchoi? (sp?) Really? I actually tend to like it cooked with garlic and butter, and then dosed in magi sauce. Cooked till its just a little bit of crunchiness left.

Title: What is the weirdest food U have eaten or wanted 2
Post by: Orik on Sep 09 10 11:02
 I checked the spelling on BokChoi it seems the correct spelling is Bok Choy. yes Russ it is not amongst my favourite vegetables. I will eat it over Brussels sprouts just to point out  how much I hate Brussels Sprouts.  and I will eat Brussels Sprouts before I will eat turnips... Don't get me wrong I wont waste food, no matter how much I dislike a food. I have gone hungry to many times in the past to do that.

I will try almost all foods at least once, it just depends on what is on the menu, there are some things I may not eat...

Snails, I won't eat them again. It seems I am allergic. One kind I can eat fine, the other kind nearly killed me my lips and throat swelled up and I got all Flemmy &amp; talk about ugly... Since I have no idea what kind of snails they where, whether the fresh or salt variety I find it is safer if I just avoid them..

Caterpillars very similar reaction to snails. Potentially lethal. So I will no longer eat them either.

When it comes to survival you eat what you have to, to survive..

Earth worms are not bad just make sure you soak them in water to clean out the earth, then fry them up even better if you can add a couple of eggs now you got a nice breakfast..  Earth worms are like a crispy bacon..

Rotisserie cooked rabbit done on a apple wood camp fire this is still by far, the best damned meal I ever did eat..

I  have had snake fried with black pepper, rock salt and some Asian  spices had it with some guys at Hon's talk about delicious... And No  that is not a regular menu item, it was just one of the fringe benefits  for working for the Chinese... Some awesome authentic meals.
 
 I have had eel but found it very disgusting greasy too, I am not sure how people can eat that very often.

Food's I still have to try

Rattle Snake
Grasshoppers
Locus
Thai spiced Tarantula deep fried till crispy supposed to be excellent
Balut
Possum
Alligator
Horse
100 year old egg =( problem is the potassium in them is to high, so I may not be able to try them
Prairie Oysters AKA Calf Testicles
Monkey but since the species are now so endangered this will never occur.

and so many other exotic and strange dishes..

What is the weirdest food you have eaten
Or what is the weirdest food you wish to try ?

Post by: Natasha on Sep 10 10 09:11
I don't really have a list of foods I'd like to try. I deal with that stuff as it comes. If I'm very hungry I order something I know I'll eat. If I order something new and don't like it, I wont eat it. The food goes to waste and I just order something else which only increases the bill. If the person I'm with has something I'd like to try I'll ask for a sample taste. Hopefully, they wont mind parting with one bite. If I like it then I know I can order it next time we go back.

  Lunch- one pork chop, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes with brown gravy and a cup of mixed fruit.

Thank you. Most of the time my lunch is whatever I had for dinner the night before. I try to make extra so I don't have to do so much cooking til dinner the next night and I can still a good lunch in. Plus I'm diabetic so I have to make sure I eat properly to keep my glucose level in normal range.



I had a turkey sandwich and an apple.

That sounds good too. I think I'll have that for lunch. I'll add lettuce, tomatoe, 2% cheese and a small bag of Sun Chips  :) Now I'm hungry again.

 That seems a bit rude to me and a little odd... no offense. Anyway when I invite people over for a meal, the kitchen is recleaned, the meal is done and served on the table by the arrival time I gave them. Sometimes I'm still serving as they walk through the door especially if the company is the type that likes to be extremely early. All I can say is if you're going to be around so early that you're inspecting my kitchen BEFORE I start cooking then your ass is gonna help prepare the meal  :P

Hey Orik.  What can you learn about the person from their kitchen?  I'm assuming that most people have the standard appliances like a fridge and stove..........

  Or do you mean what they have in their fridge or pantry can determine what kind of person they are? :P

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Sep 16 10 04:16
 I mean what kind of spices foods they like, what dishes they use most often, can generally tell which pans they favour for they show the ware and tear.. I am not to sure on the personality thing.. But I love to eat and knowing what people like to cook and eat always fascinates me.. I guess I am odd that way.

I also find if person has a organized and tidy kitchen they tend to be on time at work, they are easy going and seem to work well with others I have also noticed they tend to be good with time management.

I also found some of those with a untidy (mess) or disorganized kitchen. They seemed to arrive late at work more often.  They did not always come across well and had on more than one occasion been grumpy or difficult to work with.

I am not saying this is a sure fired way of getting to know what type of a person some one is, but it has been a bit to coincidental for me to think otherwise...

I am also a major snoop I love to sneak a peek in to the fridge freezer and pantry.. probably one of the reasons I do not get invited back =D

I totally agree with you Natasha about the snoops.  

  If a guest wants to snoop, I prefer if they ask for my permission.  I wouldn't snoop in someone else's home without first asking.  (Hey, is it ok if I check out your stack of mags here??!! - for example)  It's a form of respect, imo.  I also don't like it when guests decide to just invite themselves into our bedroom without asking for permission.  It's different if I'm showing them around the house or if I told them it was ok to go in there, but I've had a few people who just like to invite themselves in to our bedroom, even when our door was clearly closed!!!  Snoopers..... :P

 Omg, what did you say to them? Common sense should tell them if the door is closed, it's closed for a reason and they should remain out.

It's also very sneaky when people wait til you're distracted so they can begin snooping. Those are the types that make me not trust them or their intentions with my home, my kid or me. I went to a gathering at a friends house once and one of the guests kept locking herself in the bathroom for long periods of time. So the host and I forced our way into the bathroom. Turns out the girl was in there cutting herself on different parts of her body. As we were leaving the girl said she couldn't wait for the next gathering (it was suppose to be at my home). I didn't have it and I haven't talked to that girl since that night. I just feel if she's so upset over the arguement with her gf then she should have stayed home or worked it out with her gf. Not go to someone elses home, lock yourself in their bathroom and cut on yourself. We were there to have fun not get caught up in her issues.

 Magazines on the coffee table, or the magazine rack --and appear to the causal observer not to be currently in use or read-- sound like something I'd label fair game. Think about it, why else would you want to put magazines out in the first place?

If I wanted to show how elitist I was to a guest, or wanted to make a political statement against their views - usually only used to annoy extended family members or my in-laws - the most politically charged book or political magazine that I could find is going to be placed front and centre on the mahogany table. Whenever I'm visiting the extended family during a holiday break, I always find the most obscene book to drag around as silent protest to their conservatism. Silly urban, middle-class games.

I'd be more concerned with the refrigerator use of guests I don't particularly know very well, or like. But usually if you're a close friend of mine - and my friends are the same way - you get rewarded with free range privileges; especially if I cleaned and remodelled your place, lived with you at some point as a roommate, or fall into the category of 'other.' lol

 See Sportsdude gets it.. Kitchen privileges are the best thing to ever be granted to a good friend.. I like to bring meats and veggies too a nice kitchen I so often leave wishing I had a good kitchen at home.. But as I said I got a thing for kitchens.. Particularly nice big roomy ones. One's with a good stool for sitting on when doing prep work.. With everything a person could ask for or need in spices and cooking utensils. A real Bonus are those that have the large chopping blocks in their Island kitchens. God's thinking about all that prep area in the middle  makes my mind drool at the thoughts of the great extended meal's =)

These are not the best pictures but they give a idea of what I consider Ideal Kitchens.. and Oh how I wish I had one like them...

[img style="width: 605px; height: 723px;" src="/forums/richedit/upload/2k26e497d83c.jpg" border="0"]

I have no interest for what's in the bedroom nor any in what is behind the bathroom cabinet doors or on the persons book shelves a Door or drawer that is closed that means it is not meant to be snooped in..

But I always considered the make your self at home invite to mean Kitchen snooping is permitted.. it is the only thing I find interesting and the only thing I would want to snoop about anyways. As for anything else they can tell me or show me.. But When you got kitchens as nice as the above to snoop around in... Why would you want to go anywhere else ?  I am not so much a snoop as I am a kitchen enthusiast..

So just because someone invites you guys over for a meal you assume that means you're "good" friends? Sometimes when someone invites you over for a meal it's because there's something about you they like and would like to get to know you better. A casual meal invite certainly doesn't entitle you "make yourself at home" status either. That luxery is reserved for those who have earned the "good friend" title and family members .. of course.

  As far as the magazine thing goes, I agree. If it's out then it's fair game.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Sep 20 10 10:22
I agree about the magazines that if they're out, then anyone can read them but I just like to ask.  My guests don't have to ask me to read them but I like to ask when I'm over someone else's home, just in case they have a page marked and don't want it disturbed.

  As for access to the fridge, close friends and family have access but I still ask family members if I can grab a drink out of their fridge (except when I'm at my mom's and I just raid her fridge! LOL)  When my family members are over at my place, they still ask, which I respect.  I just think it's polite.  I've been told to just "help myself" to whatever is in the fridge but I feel uncomfortable going into their fridge without asking.

  I think there are still "rules" when the head of household tells you to "make yourself at home."  At home, I put my feet on the coffee table or lounge in the couch but at someone else's home, I wouldn't do that even if that person tells me to "make myself at home."

Exactly. Or sometimes it may seem like an innocent magazine but once you get inside there are naughty bits that the owner may be embarrassed for you to see. That happened to me not long ago. I asked for permission, she said yes, I looked, while looking I came across the sex toys sections and she jerked that magazine right out of my hand and said "OH you don't wanna look at that!". I could tell she was embarrassed so I said "Are you kidding? It was just getting good". She giggled and gave the mag back to me  :D

I do too. I'm always afraid I'm going to take the last of something they have and what if they want it later on? It wont be there cause I got it  :( So I try to avoid anything I see that there's only one of even when they tell me to take it anyway.



 I've been told to just "help myself" to whatever is in the fridge but I feel uncomfortable going into their fridge without asking.

I'm the same way. I'll ask them to hand me something. Sometimes they'll get it, sometimes I'm told to get it myself as they are not my maid ..lol So how much I help myself also depends on the host/hostess.



I think there are still "rules" when the head of household tells you to "make yourself at home."  

Agree.

As for lunch -  I think I had soup today.

It was Okay nothing spectacular.. the pirogies were good crispy outside soft fluffy inside.. The roast beef on the other hand was a bit tough and had to much spice used while in preparation the stuffed red-chillies Inserted before roasting it were a interesting touch... I will have to do that with a nice pork roast next time.. the Roast-beef did not do so well with the spiciness of the Red Chillies so it was a little to hot.. it would of been better to have used a gravy on it instead.. live and learn.. the corn was canned nothing fancy just sweet corn kernels reheated..

3 strips of bacon diced up cooked till crispy then removed from heat &amp; drained on some paper towels to remove any extra fat.

2 slices of bread

2 slices of low fat-mild cheddar (about 45 grams total weight not each )

2 slices of chicken breast (about 45 grams)

put bread, cheese, chicken and bacon under stove element till melted.

When melted remove from oven &amp; add your lettuce &amp; tomato then put the 2 slices together to form a sandwich

let cool 1 to 2 minutes &amp; then enjoy a non greasy relatively low fat grilled clubhouse sandwich

You can add Mayo but with the cheese fat content it is better not to.

1 glass of low sodium tomato juice.

and for those with a sweet tooth a hand full of yoghurt covered cranberries. (about a 1/3 of a cup)

and that is what I enjoyed for lunch today. Granted lunch was at 2;30 am but hey it is a night life after all.

Morning, how is everyone?

Well, busy busy time at home so far.. after a busy time away.
Currently working with a flooring guy to replace all the upstairs carpet in living room, dining room, hallways, and the middle bedroom (baby room). The front bedroom and end bedroom will stay carpet for now as they are around 4 years old. Figured it was better as theres a direct link in a UK study between old carpets with dirt etc and allergies, asthema etc. Not doing the kitchen yet as we decided we would wait a bit before doing that as well. Will do that next year with new cabinets, floors, granite countertops, and do the laundry room as well.

Did my back in for a bit.. it sucked not even being able to get out of bed.. much less back into it. Never had something like that before. The doctor gave me pills that made me admire all the pretty lights for about three days.

SD will be happy.. i got Starfishies dad to get a Honda Fit.

Also.. when I was getting a new dishwasher over thanksgiving, I was out with my uncle. I came back without a dishwasher and a boat. 29 foot bayliner bounty. Starfishie is still oh so impressed. I got the dishwasher a few days later when starfishie came with me. She hasnt allowed me to go shopping on my own since then.

Been going to these prenatal, breastfeeding, and other misc classes. Kinda interesting. Its getting closer.. Did the 3D ultrasound, man is that neat. I never realized how much the baby moves, i know SS said that she felt the baby constantly move and kick. But to see it happen 3d is really neat. She kept on moving her arm in front of her face every time the tech would reposition to see it, it was like she knew.

Ok, gotta run back and start cutting door trim.

  Sorry, I would side with Starfishie about you shopping alone.... I would not be thrilled if MrPL did the same....

She still isnt thrilled but she is looking forward to going on weekend trips and doing day trips up the inlets with her family however, so I managed to dodge a bullet there.

Yeah! Its amazing seeing the 3d ultrasound. There isnt mistaking the sex at all, lol. We got a number of pictures and video with it too. She's got Starfishies nose, lol. We are doing all the reno's currently to prepare for the baby.

I had german skillet for dinner (yay no frozen pizza) which was followed by a Sierra Nevada.

Delayed. Grr. No idea for how long.. hopefully its not TOO long.

Other than that.. lunch was pretty good.
Burritos, turkey breast slices in some sort of sauce, pasta, salad, soup... Some sort of cod fish thats native to africa, but it was fishy so it wasnt that good. Obviously had it for too long.
Amazingly enough Im still losing weight somehow.

Another fun filled day.. left offshore Takoradi in Ghana and am now underway to the vacation destination of Nigeria.

2 Chinese sausage's boiled to remove most of the fat.

I used some of the rendered fat to fry the sausage till golden, drained it on paper towels.

2 hand fulls of Rice noodles steamed till soft and sticks to the wall when thrown against it
topped with a thick sauce consisting of onion &amp; tomato slices
topped off with the diced Chinese sausage &amp; a handful of fresh green chives

sprinkled with a couple of drops ( less than a1/4 teaspoon) of Chinese chili hot sauce. Use sparingly this stuff will melt the paint off a Cadillac. It is flaming hot. you have been warned. The best way to add this is with a eyedropper it is that hot. (well I find it to be that hot others may find it to be only mild)

I don't know it's name you can find it in many Chinese stores it comes in a little clay jar (about the size of a small jar of mustard) the pot is a light brown in color glazed and the name is written in Chinese characters. most ethnic stores will point it out to you if you ask about it.  It is dried chillies served in oil you stir it up. I kid you not this hot-sauce will give Habanero Pepper a run for the money when it comes to heat.

a couple of images of what it sort of looks like.

I'm finding that research melts the world around you to the point were you lose track of life and time.

Lunch was Taco Bell for hundredth time.

I walked around Durham England on street view. Nice place, quaint...

Going to do my international surprise Christmas cards this weekend. The two people in Korea know (because their address is so ridiculous that I needed to make sure I didn't flub it) while 'England' and 'Ontario' have no idea. I haven't made up my mind on whether to postcard 'Paris', though. le sigh.

Oh, and I have to write a letter to Santa Claus through Canada Post. The Canadian Post replies back.

Dear My Most Beloved German Queen Relative,

Is it possible for you to glowingly write a graduate school recommendation for me?
Upon acceptance to one of your fine schools, I would become your faithful servant and eventual citizen of the U.K.
To prove that I am worthy to be called a Briton, I must inform you that I was able to out drink my Surrey colleague in a tea drinking contest during the Olympics.  
I also only eat curry and drink ales.

Much Love,

We would've bumped into each other had we gone to Ikea for dinner tonight...but we went last night.  

steak, beets and onions for dinner.

I liked that movie Time Traveller's.  I bet the book is better.  I have yet to read that.  

We went on a movie date night last weekend and saw Narnia.  I loved it! Have you watched it yet, SD?
 
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Sportsdude on Dec 22 10 12:08
Which Narnia? I've avoided the Narnia series so far, but it seems interesting. Is it good? I really want to see the King's Speech. Hopefully I don't miss it like I did for The Last Train Home. [a href="http://www.last-train.com/"]http://www.last-train.com/[/a]  

The Time Traveller's Wife movie sort of made me want to read the book, which I guess is noteworthy since I'm not a romance novel reader.

Frozen pizza for dinner with a glass of wine or two. aka the usual daily routine.  for the men in this household wine = water.
In SD's daily existential crisis news -- I ate all of the chex mix that I made.

I'm currently watching a dvd of A Christmas Story while attempting to put the ornaments on the tree. I still don't understand the fascination with this movie. I put the hockey puck that I bought at Niagara Falls in '99 on the tree, so that's my official contribution. I wanted to put the puck at the top, but my sister had other ideas.

The 3rd installment of Narnia, SD.  I can't remember the name of it but it's out in theatres right now.  So far, I've thoroughly enjoyed Narnia.  I love magic/mystic type of movies like this.  You'll like it if you like fantasy/magical type movies.  

  shrimp/avocado roll for lunch...and lots of chocolate and goodies at the office to eat!  We're one of the lucky departments who several gift baskets every year loaded with delicious goodies, mainly chocolate!  :)  I'm satisfied.

Cool. I'll watch it when it arrives on red box (going to the theatres is just too expensive these days).

Watched Elf last night. I still cringe at 95% of the film.

No idea on what we're watching tonight, but we've run out of Christmas movies.
Sat - Death at a Funeral (the original, not the Hollywood version).
Sun - 500 days of Summer
Mon- Time Traveller's Wife
Tues- Christmas Story
Wed- Elf

For some reason we don't have Love Actually.

Grilled Chicken burgers and a slice of fresh off the farm smoked Ham.
Topped with a blend of shredded aged cheddar &amp; a slice of Swiss cheese
This burger will then be placed in the oven until the cheese melts are ready/

How to tell when they are ready, that's when the cheese starts to bubble and turn golden.
Now add your sliced tomatoes pre-fried onions and some lettuce or spinach
Now close them grilled melts and serve with a your choice of a couple of sides

Side 1. Sour creme and chives on top of a baked potato. &amp; 1 cup of steamed corn kernels
Or
Side 2 Steamed rice and diced ham with some fried red or (purple) onion pieces a little red pepper (that's the red chili pepper)a big old green pepper, some corn and last but not least in the rice is peas.

I had side two which is a small meal in it's self.

Tomorrow

Breakfast
1 cup frosted flakes 1 cup raspberry yogurt

Dinner
Tuscany turkey, mustard, Swiss cheese or Edam (haven't decided yet depends on the price at the shop tomorrow) Purple onions, Roma tomatoes (The brand of tomatoes will depend on what is available) whole wheat bread &amp; presidents choice mayo.

Supper.
Depending on finances it will be a stew, now wether it will be Lamb, Goat, Mutton, Pork, Beef or Chicken, will depend on the price at the butcher and what I can afford to put on my credit card. Most of my stews will contain the basic items so we shall obviously have carrots, potatoes, onions, the usual spices and  what ever other types of veggies I have a craving for while shopping in the market.

As for the side dish to serve with the stew I really am not  to sure what to serve  perhaps some type of beans or rice instead but I tend to have rice pretty often when making a stew, the trouble with beans is they offer an additional protein to a meal, while rice adds a starch and potatoes add sugars &amp; carbs. The beans would be a welcome addition to almost any meal..

 I really have not made up my mind I think it will completely depend on what the store has available what i can afford and my mood.. So I will wait and see.. We can plan everything or sometimes you can leave things to chance..

Hey everyone!  *waves*

Stopped in to say hi and see what's shakin with everyone.

Can't remember when I was here last.  Out there doing life.  Work, Heckyl and Jeckyl, stuff with Scouts, building a garage and getting the garden in shape, just stuff....

Trying to stay positive and count the daily miracles.  My father in law died earlier this year (at least he had an extra year with us, since his brain tumor diagnosis!), my brother in law lost his house in the Slave Lake fire (at least noone got hurt in the blaze!), I have a mystery infection causing a hugely swollen leg (it's less painful than yesterday! and I'm losing weight due to all the antibiiotics and no appetite!)

Trying not to sweat the small stuff.

  Hello to you miss PC! Hope alls going well with you and Sawdust in your neck of the woods. I havent been over to my parents place in almost 8 months now. They seem to be over at my place for some obscure reason now, alot.

  Orik! Long time no see buddy, hope alls going well with you.

  Gopher! How are you doing. Farmed salmon or real? I must admit, I find myself buying farmed salmon more and more.

  Well, as for myself, away again on the dark continent. We are on standby, but finding myself doing more than before due to catching up on all the little things that we couldnt do while operational. At home, life has changed. Thats the best way to put it.

Hi Goph, Hi Russ!

Just tried ice cream at the Cold Stone Creamery for the first time.  It was pretty good!  Went with Jeckyl after his fishing workshop.  I had a chocolate peanut butter combo....good...but nothing holds a candle to Baskin Robbins Peanut Butter Chocolate!

Hmmmm....haven't been to Baskin Robbins for years...prob not since the one at Lougheed Mall disappeared.

I buy farmed salmon once in a while.  Wild is so expensive.

  Lunch is leftovers - salmon, quinoa and asparagus.

  Last night, we shaved lil guy's head.  He's our lil monk now.  We finally shaved his baby hair so that his new hair grows out thicker and nicer.  He had such fine hair.  :)  I have to say that he has a perfectly round head.

Hi Purelife.

hosestly I am feeling like death warmed over I have no appetite when I do eat I just get sick. My insides feel like they are just being torn apart.  been seeing so many G.I specialists I have just given up..

Some days I eat nothing at all I am just not terribly hungry.. Mostly the month, lasts longer than the money does.  Bills stack up, I just cancelled my TV service because I can't afford that and food. it is one or the other. I will probably cancel the internet service if things get much worse but I have been given a amazing discount price on the internet for the next 6 months.

Mostly it comes down to me and of late I have not had the strength or energy to go to the food bank or stand in the local food lines

Honestly I would rather just do with out than go wait in line for a loaf of bread and some half rotten vegetables. &amp; what is usually 1 peanut-butter sandwitch &amp; 1 salmon sandwitch. both of which taste a bit like old socks between stale bread.

Please excuse me, while I go get sick again. I just finished a muffin and a packet of noodles for supper currently I am being sick once more from both ends.. This was a complete waste of a dollar twenty five.

Bless your heart, Orik. You know now might be a good time to reach out to people (family). They can help you along when you aren't able to do so yourself. Can you join a company that offers Personal Care Aide services? Most health insurance will cover the cost. I thought at one time you attended church? Call your pastor ask for help from the congregation. Don't be too proud to ask. No one deserves to spend a life hungry and in misery. I've always kept you in my prayers... big hugs!

  Oh as for lunch... I'm thinking lasagna.

Corned beef, pasta and tomatoes
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Jun 13 11 02:47
 Ohh Corned beef sounds really good right now but not in my budget..

Lunch 2 hot dogs  &amp; 1 packet instant noodles.  

6 homemade hot-wings.. which were tough as nails...

I didn't read the small print &amp; It seems the chicken I bought a few days back when it was on sale is the utility grade variety and those types are only fit for shredding in to salads  or sandwiches &amp; for making stews or soups out of.  

It is no wonder they were only 1.59 a lb now I have 42 more of these worthless wings and I am not really relishing the idea of making any more terrible hot-wings out of them.  

Not unless somebody has a great recipe to make utility grade chicken tun into soft tender wings..

Of course there is always the option of making a very large batch of chicken stock, for soups and of course adding thickening agents to turn them in to stews.. but that is going to be time consuming and it should be saved for a wet cool day so the heat from the stove doesn't turn this small apartment in to a sweat lodge.

I can't remember what I had for lunch.

For dinner I had lasagna and steamed brocolli with cheese sauce.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jun 14 11 10:54
I know that steaming veggies are more healthy but because it takes 2 pots and a lid, I  boil my brocolli quite often.  Having more pots/lids to wash is a huge deterrent - takes up more space in sink and counter.

  Lunch is gonna be chicken salad sandwich again.

Haddock  
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Orik on Jun 15 11 07:22
Dinner
Home made soup.

3 large Mexican Green Onion's so large they are closer to a shalot
6 golf ball sized Roma Tomato's cut in to 4 pieces
1/2 Can of Lentils (for protein) works with beans if you do not like lentils
1 fist sized Orange pepper seeded and diced
6 cups of water
Place on medium low heat &amp; Let simmer uncovered to reduce the stock for 30-45 minutes
stir occasionally to keep the vegetables and lentils from settling to much

once you are at half  the amount you started with it is time to add 1 Flavour Packet
I tend to use Beef Bovril you can use whatever flavouring agent you like more
I like to add a quarter and some times as much as a half teaspoon of chili powder this will make it mild to medium spicy for extra hot add 1 and a half  teaspoons of chili powder.

Now I like to crush and add in 4 cups worth of Chinese egg &amp; rice stir fry noodles
I will stir fry for the remaining 5 minutes on a medium to medium high heat setting
stirring constantly until the noodles are no longer crisp and the remaining water is boiled away

I served mine with some Triscut crackers instead of potato chips. You can add meat instead of lentils or beans for protein  feel free to use which ever you prefer. This is a simple &amp; a cheap dish to make it often costs less than 2 dollars to make it will make 6 servings if your  not a guy my size  if oyu are my size it makes only 3 portions

Do you say "pho" or "fuh?"  I still say pho even though the other one is correct.  Fuh just doesn't sound like good soup!  

  Our dept is ordering a buffet lunch for us to celebrate the launch of new business procedures.  For the past few months, we had our business under review by 3 outside consultants.

I hate having to justify to someone what we do or that we are doing enough of the right thing. We just had that as well PL.

I usually say pho.. as in fffff  oooo. If that makes sense?

Well, just had breakfast, gave Keira a bath due to the fact she made a big messy, and now am getting on the phone..

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: purelife on Jun 24 11 12:07
How's baby Keira doing??!!  I saw her recent pic and she totally looks like you!!  Mini-Russ. :)  I don't see SS in her at all....maybe in the future.

  I know with our lil guy, he totally looks like his daddy.  :(

  Oh, tell me about it!  I am not enjoying the outcome of this business process review.  Now, we have to track our figures 3 times a day.  Supervisor checks on us.  We report anything extra that we've done that took time.  We have to time things as well.  It's all about clock watching!
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jun 24 11 08:36
Keiras doing well, doesnt like to sleep, lol, likes to fuss and stay up.
Just starting teething as well.

Well, dinner was burgers for my dad and I, and mahi mahi burgers for SS and my mother. A friend stopped by later and ate the left over burgers. lol. Ran out of charcoal as well, so have to buy some more tomorrow. No tax days at superstore this weekend! So we are going to buy some soaker hoses as well for the gardens. I hate hand watering.

I agree she looks alot like me at the same age.. hairs different though, and you can see SS in her eyes. My hair at that age was bleached white blond and had blue eyes. Now my hairs deep brown and my eyes are gray.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jun 27 11 09:14
Well, lunch was Quizno's as I waited in the cheap 12 dollar an hour parking at the surgery parking lot for SS's dad. I was there on time to pick him up and was then told, oh we tried to call your house 15 minutes ago to tell you he would be 1 hour late out of surgery. Im like yeah.. 15 minutes BEFORE Im to pick him up? And you called my house phone? Seriously? lol.

Dinner was Delissio (sp?) pizza which was on sale at costco. I added more bacon bits, sliced ham, and mozza cheese to make it more appetizing. And a few glasses of beer of course.

Well, tomorrow I take my truck in for front end work. Needs to have the Ball Joints changed on it, so Im putting in the new rebuildable ones, you can then rebuild them from the back without removing them. Also getting the Tie Rod ends changed.. really only need one as its wobbling, but if ones loose, the others arent far behind. I was going to do it myself, but when you are done, if you didnt mark the alignment correctly, you will go down the road a wee bit off, lol. So when I looked at the price of the special tools I needed to press the joints in and out, and then still have to take the truck in somewhere to get them adjusted and properly aligned.. it wasnt worth it.

[font style="font-family: Arial Narrow;" size="4"][span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"]My Lunch today was Cavatappi Pasta
I served it with Pork tenderloin
I cut the pork into 1 inch cubes &amp; then I grilled it to perfection
I served my [/span][/font][font style="font-family: Arial Narrow;" size="4"][span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"]Pasta[/span][/font][font style="font-family: Arial Narrow;" size="4"][span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"] with a Stewed mushroom sauce
I added green peppers &amp; green onions to the sauce as it simmered
the pork was tender moist and delicious.
The Green peppers were still slightly crisp
they were perfect not mushy &amp; full of crisp flavor
The green onions were a excellent topping.

I wish I had, had some red chili flakes and fresh ground Parmesan if I had had some for a topping that would of made this a perfect meal.  The total cost for 5 lunch's in ingredients was 8.50 I can make 4 more lunches just like today's with the left overs, which I will be freezing in 4 micro-wave-able containers, to serve for meals later this month.  They will not be as good as when it is  served fresh but they will be almost as good.

This is the best Lunch I have made in weeks. Sadly I will be back to eating cheap pasta dishes &amp; whatever fruits &amp; vegetables I can get for cheap.

Total food budget for the month is 23 dollars.  if I skiped paying my bills. I would have more.

A Korean Kimichi noodle not sure how to spell it. Nong Shim raymon style noodle. I found some Very Spicy Seafood  ones, well I admit  it has lots of seaweed in it, but there was no dried fish  in it that I could find. All it had was 2 packets one of dehydrated vegetables &amp; seaweed  and the other was just the spicy powder which may have had some some fish meal it it.

I did not think it to be a very tasty seafood soup I was very disapointed in it.  I will give it 2 out of 5 stars just for being hot &amp; spicy.

Where did everyone go??!!!  :(

  I'm almost near the end of 1st trimester and am patiently waiting to see my obgyn in November.  (yep, she's THAT busy!!)  And my doc is busy too.  boo.  :( I hope lil heart beat is still beating away.

  We're starting to plan dear son's birthday party as he's turning two in couple of weeks!  He's such a cute lil boy.  :)

  Hope everyone is doing ok.  

Oh, and lunch was one of my yummy sandwich creations: chicken salad on multrigrain bread, double smoked cheddar, cucumbers, bean sprouts and butter lettuce.  YUMMEEEO!!

Happy Birthday to the little guy!

  What's everyone's plans for Thanksgiving?  Is anyone cooking up a feast?

  We're going to MrPL's grandparents for dinner.  Can't wait for that!  And on Sunday, I will be hosting dinner and preparing a feast.  No turkey though cuz mine always turn out dry and it's just so time consuming.  I'm only cooking for 4 guests.  I'm looking forward to it.  :)

For thanksgiving dinner I will be making some Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes I will top off  the mashed potatoes with a little bit of onion &amp; carrots that were pickled along with a bunch of Jalapeño's. Which will spice it up something fierce.. I will probably have a side of stewed tomatoes &amp; broccoli as for desert either a piece of pumpkin pie or apple pie which I shall buy at the deli down the street.

and then I will read a book or play some video games.

  We didn't do anything yesterday but I made dinner on Sunday.  Meatloaf was the main course and everyone loved it.  There were so many dishes in the end to clean so I had several helpers forming an assembly line while I put up my feet to relax.  They offered to clean, which was really nice.

It was a nice wholesome dinner I had planned. However I recived a invite to a thanksgiving lunch I ended up having 2 BBQ steaks, 1 sirloin tip  that was marinated with soy sauce, worshestershire sauce as well as garlic it was very good. The other steak i bilieve it was a flank cut it was well marinated  and i think it had a dry rub with dijon now this was a nice soft steak well marinated and bbq to perfection but it was lacking it could of used a bit more heat.

I added some louisianna hot sauce which made it nearly perfect I will ask them for the marinade recipies and try them out with some added heat. The baked potatoes and garden salad served with fresh dandelions were very good. I skipped the salad dressing & had the salad plain it was nice but the dandylions are a late fall crop which made them slightly bitter.  The baked tater I had with some margarine and I also had a nice bowl of bunnternut Squash soup. All in all a perfect thanksgiving lunch with good friends.

The end of the wonderful day was a large serving of fresh form the oven Peach Cobbler with a scoop of bryers vanilla ice cream.

Fantastic good eats, with good friends it was a very pleasant day.

Dinner ended up being stir fired chicken with mixed veggies and a side of mashed potatoes. no gravy because I had the sir fry as a topping instead.

It was great PL I do not go out often but it is nice to do so once in awhile.






I am finding I do not enjoy spending time in the kitchen like I used to, the pain of standing while prepping meals is now at a point of being very unpleasant, the lack of muscle control does not help any. I dropped the knife 4 times today as I was trying to cut the pork shoulder into 1/8 inch cubes for stir frying with the pancit (noodles) and some extra snap peas..


Breakfast was pancit noodles and snap peas
Lunch was curried rice with spicy pork shoulder


Dinner today will be Stir fried pork 1/4 lb with shrimp 150 grams, 200 grams snap pea's whole.
served on a bed of steamed long grain rice 2 cups rice 4 cups water.
Which will be topped with a black bean sauce.


The black bean sauce is so simple it is made with 2 cups black bean soup add a 1/2 cup almond milk or cocunut milk which ever you prefer more add a 1/4 teaspoon of cayene pepper.  or a tablespoon worth of your preferred hot sauce


add the soup, the milk and the spice in to a small sauce pan. Simmer untill it has reduced to 2 cups worth and is  thick like a good mashed potato or Yorkshire pudding gravy, pour over top of your stir fried pork and shrimp serve and enjoy


this will serve 2 people.

Pretty good! It was three months this past Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. I have to watch myself whenever I'm not in a cooking mood though, or else I will just eat spinach/kale, chickpeas and walnuts for most of the day due to laziness. My diet will be more regulated and normalized once get settled in Van again. I'm still running 5km or more a day with high energy levels. 

Meat stopped bothering me after about two months. I only get frustrated when someone buys non-cheese toasted ravioli. Loove toasted ravioli. The family eats healthier now.

I'm still looking a mango sauce to put on everything. I became hooked on mango sauce curry dishes during my August vacation in Kingston, Ontario. I miss Toronto and Montreal more than I miss Vancouver.

Beef onion barley soup. When making beef short ribs the leavings from broiling & simmering the fat off them makes a fantastically rich beef broth just add barley & onions mhmm hmmm good. Just make sure to refrigerated it over night to allow for all the fat to float to the top. Which you skim off. and throw away leaving all the good stuff behind to make your barely soup.

It just racks up if you're on a tight budget. You know, DDD, the gf would probably like it if you could cook for her every day with awesome meals and such. For example, I made a quick and easy curried potatoes with eggplant, spinach, onions and garlic last night for tonight. Simple stuff.

Lunch today was a sushi place on Broadway with friends. At the end of the lunch my friend got a phone call informing her that her childhood friend's mom died of a heart attack earlier in the morning. Rather sobering.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 21 11 05:44
Thanks D,
Yeah, sucks that I wont be home. However I was home for last year so, only fair for the other fellow to have this year at home. I had to do extra time for a few trips to change the time I would be on and him off for.


Little SS just had her birthday so she's now one. Both SS and little SS are heading to the island with my mother to have xmas over there. Think they are heading up to courtenay/ comox area for the dinner with some relatives up there.


Is there snow/ freezing temps up at your cabin right now? Do you do any winterizing on it? Is it hard to get to over the snowy season vehicle access wise? Just curious really. Relatives have place at Loon Lake, group went camping up there just after xmas few years ago. Roads were ok, but from road to where to park vehicel was difficult, lol. Weren't very bright as the beer was freezing, had to keep it in the cooler from freezing actually. Couldnt use propane stove and had to actually stick the propane tank in the fire to warm it up enough to flow to use. Temp the first night was negative 32 celcius. We were in tents with lots of good sleeping bags and mattresses.. my buddy that night when he went into his tent to go to bed, flopped down on his sleeping bag, and the air mattress underneath shattered like glass. Temp was too cold and the plastic got super hard and brittle.
Truck would barely start, and when it did, you could hear the ice chunks going through the engine block and water pump. It ran like a bag of nails being thrown about. Couldnt release the clutch pedal when it started cause the oil was so cold and thick, it wouldnt flow enough to release the pressure. So if the pedal was released with stick in neutral.. the clutch was engaged and the truck would drive, LOL. 45 minutes before the truck even thought about being warm. Lets just say we walked over to the closest resort and rented most of the cabins they had, with heated areas for vehicles. ;D


Um, what else is new this year..
Got SS a vehicle again, finally. She sold the other one to her sister without telling me. After a week of her not having her car, I asked when she was getting it back. She replied, oh I sold it to my sister, I didnt think we needed it  ::)
Got her a GMC Terrain. Now to pay for it


Had to change the hotwater boiler in my house the other day for my heating radiators. It started leaking from the tubes above the heating flames, and tripped out then blew the pressure relief? I had water all over my furnace room and floors in the adjoining spaces. Week before I came back. Didnt have the time or the motivation to deal with it, so I had a company come in and change everything in there.. Pumps, solenoid valves for the different zones in teh house, and the boiler itself. Already noticed a difference in my gas bill actually!

The cabin is only an hour away from my home in NW but boat access only so weather does play a roll in going there. High winds forget it......snow on the roads ??? as getting stuck towing a boat sucks.

I have antifreeze in the bathroom fixtures that hold water and all the water lines have all been drained.

Any food items that could freeze are at home now but i did leave the fridge on with some items in it still as hauling up everything is a pain.

January is ok to go there but Febuary the winds make it no fun.

Hi Everyone!!  Hope all is doing well.

Russ - That's very nice of you to cooperate with your fellow colleague about the holidays, Russ.  Do you get to skype with your family often?  You must post pics of your daughter at one years old!  She is looking mighty adorable.  It looks like it's gonna be hard to say "no" to her as she gets older. 

I treated myself to a delicious lunch at the Italian Kitchen's takeaway location and got the meatballs penne pasta with red pepper soup.  I am stuffed and my work space smells divine!  I figure that I'm allowed to spoil myself with an expensive lunch. :)

Hello!


D- I think I know where abouts you mean. Theres some in the area there that are 99 year leases? What kind of boat? We used to launch my brothers maxum and go skiing in the slough on the way to pitt lake. It was too much of a hassle to head all the way into pitt lake where ALL the yahoo's were. Either launch in NW and run into the lake, or launch at the lake. We did that a few times and the last time we did, had an issue. My brother had fallen off his ski and I was looping back to pick him up. some drunken yahoo's were ripping right by us and not paying attention. I had to use the horn and go Wide Open Throttle almost ramming them to keep them away from my brother. They started yelling and swearing at me until they realized they were heading right towards a water skier. Not that its that bad in Pitt Lake, no where nears Cultus.. But still gave us a scare. So we been sticking to the slough.
Havent forgotten about my boat pics.. Ive got them on my iphone and am trying to get a data cable off someone on here to transfer them to post.


PL- HiHi! Hope you enjoyed your meal! I think you are on my crackbook are you not? SS and her brother posted some pics of little SS. Yeah, its going to be hard when she gets older. Already some of the stuff she does, you can just see what is turning over in her head. Im already getting crap from SS about some things, like when I fed her two slices of pizza when buddies and I were watching a game.
SS told me about a number of companies in the area that have been laying off people. Her work laid off over 60 people, and her cousin that works at a different company but right nearby got laid off end of this year with around 20 other people. How is your company currently?


Gopher.. I agree with you! lol.


SD- Hope you have a merry christmas with some others. Dont worry, you will never be boring, lol. With your opinions and willingness to discuss them, it wont be dull. Actually Ive missed you on this board.

I just checked out some of her photos on your wife's page.  OMG, she's all grown up now.  I love her faces and she's adorable for sure.  It sounds like she'll soon figure out which parent to go to get what she wants. ;) heehee

Well, after our company had the business process review, they laid off several people, probably close to around 20 but these people have been here for YEARS!  It's all due to restructuring, blah blah blah.  So, since we have an awesome package for those who get laid off, we won't see any surplus of income for another year or two.  But what surprised me was that we got a bonus this year.  My job is secure but I don't plan to come back after mat leave.  It's such a dead end job and I want something closer to home.  I'm also willing to sacrifice pay. 

Hopefully SS's job is secure.

Hey Russ! Thanks for saying I'm not boring! You have a good Christmas as well. My sister informed me that everyone wants to skype me during dinner and such tomorrow night, so that will be nice. On the Vancouver home front, I'm trying to get my closest friend over for dinner as she's in town for the holidays. She lives a couple blocks away from my place. Actually, I just want her to come over because I'm a vegetarian and the Lebanese market up the street gave me free lamb sausage the other day. The sausage will go well with my German egg noodles.

Purelife -- ominous sign. Most of us in school see Vancouver as a sort of a dead end town for starting a career - I've also been told this from day 1 of living in Vancouver. Only those who get out and then come back seem to make it out of the food/retail or receptionist world. My plan is to stay in school until someone on this planet grants me either tenure, a research position, or a book deal. I'm not sure if I have a plan b, unless you count "marrying a rich girl" as a fall-back position.

Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Dec 25 11 08:05
Im of the opinion that it depends on the job and career to whether its a place to start.
For my occupation and many of my friends, we either work out of the country or end up working out of vancouver in the surrounding areas or the valley.
Eventually I might come back and work for the coast guard or the ferries. But not planned yet.


Well Christmas dinner was a spread! The boys on here did an outstanding job, many of the clients onboard commented on it and were impressed.


Rotisserie pig (with sunglasses on), LOTS of cold cuts and finger foods. Many types of salads, macaroni stuff, etc. Shrimp, fish, ham, turkey, chicken, pork loin, and beef tenderloin.




Speaking of which.. I want to try the turducken I keep reading about. Has anyone had this before? How do you cook it?

Quote from: Russ on Dec 25 11 08:05Speaking of which.. I want to try the turducken I keep reading about. Has anyone had this before? How do you cook it?

Turducken...I've never had it (yet), but I've heard it's like a Meat Overdose with cranberry sauce. It's possibly ultimate example of Man's domination of the rest of the animal kingdom.

Hi everyone.  Hope you all enjoyed the season.  Hubby and I had a wonderful one.

Russ, I can't believe baby SS is one already.  They grow TOO FAST !  Next thing you know, you'll be handing over the car keys.

Hi PC! A very warm christmas cheers to Sawdust and yourself from SS, Myself, and little SS.

LOL, which car? We got SS a GMC Terrain about a month ago. Keira can drive that.. not my Dodge!

HI EVERYONE!  Happy New Year!  Gung hay to all.


I finally remembered how to log into this place.


What's for lunch?
I have leftover spag squash with lentils, ground turkey and kale. And coleslaw out of the bag with some Kraft mandarin salad dressing.


Miss you all!  My work has been INSANE in the past year.  Maybe if I log into DS more often I can remain more sane and grounded.  HAHAHA.  Due to the normalizing influences here.  HAHAHA.


We spent part of the Xmas holidays on the Coast of Oregon.  Nearly didn't go.  MrLM had surrendered his passport to the Russian government so they could process his business Visa.  D'oh.  He didn't realize until Dec 26 that he had no passport.  Took some last minute scrambling on Dec 28 to retrieve his passport from the processing people before it went to the Russian embassy in Ottawa.

It's good to be back.  Missed you all!


Was going to treat myself to a take-out lunch today, but decided to be realistic.  There's NO WAY I was going to have time to leave the office!  So another packed lunch from home.
Mr Noodles with a can of tuna and handful of spinach thrown in.  Mandarin oranges, peanut butter and graham crackers.




Last night's dinner on the run was the S'bucks ham and cheese toasted sandwich with pumpkin spice latte.

Hello TB, Gopher, and LM.


Gopher, yeah I agree. Foods good, however I only wish I had the selection and frequency of that type of food at home as I do here, lol.


TB, I miss salmon, lol. How do you cook it? We tend to bake it on tinfoil, with mayo and dill together on top.


LM, Good to see you! Happy New years! Hope you had a good time in oregon. Your pics reminded me of the time we spent down around bella beach this past year for a week. We rented a house with a hotub and firepit on the beach.. was really nice. Did it with another family to make it cheaper.. Hope you have a good week!

It comes with some herb/butter balls already made up, you just throw it in the oven for 30 mins or so and voila, it's done. It's like cheating, lol.

I still have yet to figure out how to be a student at school, again. I guess in the last few years away from Vancouver my life has been rather PHD-like. Anyway, it's like I'm relearning how to walk. Hopefully I don't mess up this History grade...

There was some sort of meatloaf, and then some sort of a seafood lobster/ crawfish like thing I havent seen before. I was sure it was going to jump off my plate and prey upon me. I managed to prevent this by stabbing it with my fork early on.

What a sweet deal!  I'm sure you're going to enjoy your time off with your family.  :)

I've been really busy.  I think most of you know that I had my baby girl on April 3rd, 3 days over due weighing 10 lbs 2 oz.  This month is busy with my brother's wedding.  I'm part of the bridal party which is exciting but scary at the same time because I'll be away from my daughter for 8 hrs and I know she'll be screaming her head off.  :(   I have to be at bride's home by 6am and then I don't get to see baby until around 1pm.

I hope all is doing well.

 Hunger and if I get hungry enough I guess I will head on over to see what they are serving up at the Union Gospel Mission at 601 East Hastings St, for those who don't know thats in Vancouver BC Canada V6A 1J7
604-253-3323  Randy (Kitchen Manager)  [email protected] ([email protected])  www.ugm.ca (http://www.ugm.ca)

UGM's Motto = Everyone's welcome

So the choice is either hunger or sitting through some Christian ministry sermon to eat whatever they are serving at the union gospel mission. There a few choices for the broke and the hungry in this city problem is a number of hem hold you hostage you got to listen to a predominantly Christian based evangelical ministry before you get to eat that free meal. So technically you sacrifice your time to listen to them preach before you get to the free eats.

My, only problem is this damned wheelchair makes getting around a bit difficult at times, hence the reason I sometimes opt to go hungry... It not like I can't afford to miss a few meals considering the size of me....Plus to be perfectly blunt I had enough of these church ministry's that have over the years held me hostage more often than not.

  I am a Christian but the same Ole same old in preached messages gets tedious. So much so that I can afford to go without eating another meal prepared by some church ministry where I am held hostage and forced to listen to there sermon and singing before I get to sit down and eat that free meal of theres..

But if IO am forced to listen to there sermon first before I can eat, I guess that means that meal they are serving up is not truly free after all... is it?

Sounds strange, living on the west coast, but I've never tried them.  I had far too many sardines as a kid, and developed an aversion to fish in a can.  I do like salmon, lobster and crab, though.   And my cats go mad for tuna.

I decided at the last minute to have a good lunch of barbequed chicken breast, mashed potatoes with parmesan cheese, and hot bread and butter pickles.  Not bad at all.  I think I'm getting my taste sense back, sort of.

Hi, Lil Me!  Happy to meet you!

Made a stir fry with part of the roast beef.  Its an improvement on the roast beef.  Cut into small strips makes the beef a little more tender.  I was going to add rice, but the tiny bits of rice would make it harder to swallow.  The vegetables are perfectly tender crisp.  Topped it off with tea and cream, no sugar.

I have enjoyed my life here to an extent. My living situation hasn't been the greatest, but I'm moving to my own place tomorrow, so I'm rather excited about this. Hopefully the insomnia goes away.

Food trucks. Funny you should mention. They are around downtown but only during the summer. I haven't given them a try. Montreal had zero food trucks until three mayors ago this time last year. The anglophone mayor who was arrested for corruption around the time of Rob Ford's crack tape passed a by-law legalizing food trucks.

Nearly every borough seems to close its main commercial street in order to have a street fair during the summer months. St. Laurent and Mont-Royal in the Plateau, Masson in Rosemont, St Hubert around Jean Talon Metro, Eglise in Verdun come to mind; Ontario in the gay village is permanently closed during the summer months) and has a street fair every weekend from now until Labour Day.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: kitten on May 31 14 09:39
I'd love to get out and try a couple of the food trucks.  Some of the top restaurants out here are putting out food trucks and the standards are high for food offered.  I'm surprised there are not so many in a province renowned for its good food.

It was beautifully warm today here.  I was out in the sunshine a lot, and loving it after the cold rainy weather.  What a treat after all the rain we've had. 

I'm quite tired tonight, so will be going to bed early.  I had a busy day stocking up on items for the freezer, but now it is full of good food to last me a couple of months.  All I need now are fresh veggies.

Good night for now, and I hope to see you back tomorrow.

Hi Kitten and Lil Me!
My usual salad for lunch today.  Gonna make the one dish cabbage rolls casserole.  I don't have time to roll these babies up so just end up cooking everything (minus rice) all at once.  So much easier that way. :)
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Yum. Cabbage roll casserole sounds awesome.  Will it work in the crock pot?


My niece is staying this week, so took niece, Heckyl and Jeckly to C Lovers for fish and chips tonight.  Seriously good deal: $11.99 per person for all you can eat and a bottomless pop.

Today I plan on macaroni salad, sliced tomato and cucumber, and a slice of ham for lunch. 
I've been staring into the cupboards trying to figure out what to have for breakfast.  Maybe just pineapple and raspberry yoghurt with some dry cereal stirred in.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

I've never tried the crock pot method but I think you can if you don't mind really mushy cabbage.  In mine, I have ground beef, onions, cabbage, celery, tomatoes and a huge can of stewed tomatoes.  I add italian seasonings and salt/pepper to taste. 
Leftovers for lunch. :)

I spent the snacking on all sorts of things.  For breakfast I had ham and sliced tomato.  A little later I felt hungry again, so ate a lemon meringue yoghurt.  Around eleven I had two glasses of orange juice and a cookie.  Fed the cats at noon and had an apple strudel.  It was so sweet all I could taste was sugar instead of apple.  I didn't like it at all, so drank a couple of glasses of water to take the taste away.  For the cost I regret buying it.  I had a second one, but couldn't find anyone who wanted it, so I threw it out.  I snacked on a couple of cookies and an orange in the afternoon, and didn't bother eating anything for supper.  Around nine I remembered I had some imitation crab meat in the fridge, so ate some of that with sliced tomato for supper.  I can't believe how much I ate today!  I hope this hunger keeps up tomorrow so I can put on a bit of weight.  The doctor commented on how thin I had become, and told me I had to eat more and gain some back.  He sounded rather worried about me, and how my immunity would be severely compromised if I didn't gain some weight quickly.

Lunch not even considered now.  I'll lay off the cheesecake and have mac and cheese for supper tonight.  Last night I finally had some cold BBQ chicken and a small salad for supper around 9:00 P.M.  Of course I couldn't make the beasties wait that long for their meal, so I fed them around six.  By nine they thought my plate looked interesting, and tried to investigate while I made a cup of tea.  I had to put it back on the counter (under close supervision until the tea was ready.)

I must admit. I've never had non farmed Atlantic salmon.  Most of the salmon I buy now is farmed Atlantic salmon. Lol, you can tell when you look at the flesh flakes on the salmon when it's raw and if you see pronounced whiteness between the flakes... It's fat from the pellet food to make them bigger quicker.


The pacific salmon I eat is usually caught by me. Not that I've been fishing in the last few years.

I'm about 100 miles offshore Houma, Louisiana. I have never seen so much fried food in my life. I'm not joking, I'm not the healthiest eater at the best of times, but my god. I didn't know you could deep fry a hamburger patty and still eat it in a bun either.


Montreal hey? I actually might be there for a bit in about six months.


I won't eat tofu. There's no meat in it.

Lunch was deep fried chicken fingers, beans with sausages, steamed cabbage with beef brisket.


Dinner was meatloaf, mashed potatoes, some sort of fruity salad with huge amounts of shredded carrot and raisins. I'm on the fence on the salad... The main thing is they didn't try to deep fry it, so that's a big plus.

Russ, the salmon with dill sauce comes in a package of four or five, with the sauce already on it.  I think it is just a basic white sauce with dill added.  The package just lists ingredients so I have no idea how they do it.

Must take a lot to make a decent meal!

A worker from the dietary section came in at lunch time,  and then someone from the housekeeping section.  Since I didn't need either of them, they talked for a while and as I was silently pleading with them to go, a nurse arrived to check on me.  By then I had lost my appetite, so I finally had something to eat around six o'clock.  The dietary assistant (another one) came at four to make supper, so I told her I could open the can of soup by myself.  She stayed for about 20 minutes before going to her next appointment, and I had the rest of the day free.  At last I was free of interruption and I caught up on my morning paper.  A small nap would have been so much more restful, but I wasn't given the opportunity by all the people telling me I should get more rest.  Ironic, isn't it!  I finally had "lunch" at 5:30 this evening.
I do love all these people that tell me to get more rest, and then deprive me of the chance to do it.

A dietary aide showed up to fix supper at four in the afternoon.  After I showed her how to use the electric can opener,  (challenging her somewhat feeble intellect)  I had to tell her how to empty the can into a saucepan and put it on a small burner to heat.  I also had to tell her how to turn on the electric stove and set the proper heat.  Since there is usually a different one every day, I never know when she will arrive.  There is first the instruction on where to find the soup, and then the demonstration on how to use the very basic electric stove.  I also have to show them where I keep the soup, the pots and pans, and the dishes.  Since there will likely be a different aide each time, this will require a lot of standing.  I think that tomorrow I'll tell them to sit down and have a rest while I do it.  I pay a certain amount to have them come in twice a day, so they can sit and watch while I do it for myself.  Saves time and effort that way.  I certainly hope they are quick learners!

There will be a fair amount of turnover of staff during the summer to make it even more interesting. I hope that won't last for too long before I get a few regulars who know what they are supposed to do and how to do it.  I don't want to  spend the rest of the summer training people who probably won't show up again.

Believe it or not, this letter has taken me hours to complete!  I have to keep lying down and resting between paragraphs.  Such a long period of time for something that isn't a novel!  Being horizontal makes it difficult to type coherently. ;)  A pile of cats demanding attention is also distracting. ("Can't you see we are starving?  We have been waiting for at least two hours since the last meal!)  They do make excellent bed snugglers, though, especially when I am just dozing off and a cat comes flying onto the bed demanding pats and scratches.  Now they are both sleeping, one on the floor and the other on the dresser.  They are waiting for me to lie down so they can jump on the bed and demand my full attention.

I think I'll call it quits for now.  Hope to hear from you soon.  Love to you all.

Why are you having to show these aids so much? Do they just not know or are they playing dumb? Aids are suppose to know the basics of cooking, cleaning and personal care. Is there another company you can go to? You can report(to the company) anyone who doesn't do their job when they are in your home. Theres absolutely no reason to pay for services you aren't actually recieving... imo. You really have to be careful with aides. Some just like to act they don't know how to do anything so they wont HAVE to do anything. It's annoying and their lack of work makes more work for the aides who actually do their job. At the end of the day, it's about you!! So do whatever you need to, to get the real help you need and are paying for.

If I complain they will decide I don't need help since I'm obviously  still capable of fending for myself.  It's a case of "Damned if I do, damned if I don't."  I can fend for myself to some extent, but it is very limited and exhausting.     
Maybe by the time I do need more assistance some of them will know what they are supposed to be doing.  I'm trying to be optimistic but it's hard to hope considering the level of help I've had so far.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Natasha on Jul 05 14 02:07
Then don't complain to the company. Complain to the one who pays them (your insurance company, who ever placed you in the program, etc). You can't get kicked out for complaining about not having proper assistance.

The Home Health is government assistance.  It is a "take it or leave it" deal, and I can't afford to hire private caregivers.  In 2004 my client (private) had to pay $18 per hour for one 2 hour caregiver to just fix supper and do the dishes.  It had gotten to the point where I could no longer handle going three times a day plus keep the house tidy.  I had done it for 6 years and my health had diminished to the point where I could no longer manage three two-hour shifts. When the client's health had diminished to the last stage, she was hospitalized and lasted about five days until she passed away.  I think the hospitalization must have killed her will to live.  She truly loved her home, and even though she was completely bed-ridden she could look out her bedroom window and watch the birds making a home in the tree she had planted decades before when she and her husband first bought the house.

Orange juice for lunch.  I tried to eat but it wouldn't go down, so I dumped the sandwich and had more juice.  Not much of a meal, but it stayed with me and that's what matters.  I was going to have some porridge, but I discovered the milk had gone sour and I was out of coffee cream.  I was having bad luck and that was that.

I had a very boring day, so not much to write about.  Too much pain to concentrate on anything, and staring out the window was pointless as well.  Same scenery plus drizzle.  It should have put me to sleep as rain generally does make me tired to the point of nodding off.  Not this time, though. 

So I watched home repair shows all day.  Today featured John De Sylvia rebuilding shoddy repair work and I like his shows.  On Saturdays they feature one carpenter all day, and on Sunday they have another one.  I don't know who is on tomorrow, so it is something to look forward to. 

I am getting tired now, so I'll say goodbye for now.  See you tomorrow.

Had baked beans out of a can for breakfast, followed by cheese sandwiches. I'll make lentils again tonight. I need to eat a salad.

I know what you mean, Lil Me. Six years ago, at the airport in Minneapolis, I had a walleye sandwich before my connecting flight and I was unable to finish. I feel here in Quebec, Tim Hortons, anyway, does not abide by its new portion sizes for coffees and drinks, as the medium is still a medium and a small is a small.

Well, missed lunch as am busy trying to get the old Plymouth running again. Sorted out many issues.. went to check the gas coming from the tank after draining and adding 4 gallons of premium.. Fawk. Full of varnish and rust particles. Flushed almost the full 4 gallons through. No chance. Looking for a new tank. 1966 Plymouth VIP is not an off the shelf recipient Ive been finding. lol.


Dinner was leftovers from the last few days.
Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?

Teh sucks Russ!  Good luck in your hunt for a new tank.


Hey- question for you.  Last week I needed to spring for a new set of rotors (badly corroded) and pads.  Anything I can do to prevent this from happening again?  Truck gets parked outside.



Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jul 15 14 10:13
Honestly LM. Not too much. The salt in the roads on the winter is when they get hit pretty hard. The pads, rotors and calipers are pretty much considered a consumable on vehicles. The metals used nowadays in them are of a cheaper quality than they used to be... The cheaper prices than they used to be reflect that. I at times after driving a bit over the winters after they salt will water wash under my truck to remove the salt. That might help

Post by: Lil Me on Jul 15 14 10:32
Not sure Russ.  I will ask friendly neighbourhood mechanic next time I need work done (hopefully not for a while).


My gawd last week was expensive, though.  That's the cost of deferred maintenance, I guess.  Had been ignoring truck issues for ages due to it not being driven very much, and me having cash flow issues.


Started with an oil change and broken A/C.


+ new condensor
+ new battery (not charging)
+ wheel bearing (rusted out bearing = the noise I was ignoring)
+ rotors and pads (corroded)


At least everything is back in driving condition.  I did a fair bit of driving over the weekend (Oregon border and back) and MrLM will be heading up North in August to the Bowron Lakes area.


Title: Re: So... Whats for lunch?
Post by: Russ on Jul 18 14 04:48
Sorry to hear that LM.


AC maintenance is expensive. Especially since any time you do anything on the system now, as they have to remove your freon... they are legally not allowed to put it back. You have to buy new, in BC anyways.
It cost me over 1300 to do my dodge ram. I would do it myself next time, buy it all out of the states.


Let me know when you need to do something like that again.. Ill give you an account number for Lordco to use. You'll have to let me know, as they are sticky with accounts now, they will call the contact number on the account if you aren't listed.


LOL, I5 all the way down and back? Not this weekend (Im heading to Qualicum with the Camper), but next weekend we are heading down to Seaside for 5 days. NOT taking the camper down there. I have enough issues.

In the past, I've driven to Seaside on I5 to Longview, W on 4, S on 409, SW on 30.  We spent a couple of Xmas vacations in Gearhart, WA (between Astoria and Seaside).  Offseason = cheap
There's film memorabilia from The Goonies in Astoria, the Astoria Tower, and a chain of family run Mexican restaurants called El Mariachi Loco which is in every town there.


Gearhart has a great treat store:

Lil Me:  I'll share with you my top secret recipe for pulled pork.  It is the BEST and many who have had it says so as well.  I follow the instructions to a tee but then in the end when all is cooked, I separate the onions and pork from the fat.  I put the pork and onions back in pot and pour the juices and more later.  It really soaks it up.  You can't skimp out on buying a leaner pork meat.  I used the Costco pork loin once because it was all I had on hand and it's not the same.  The buns you buy need to be soft.  I use the fresh baked dinner rolls from Safeway.  http://www.chow.com/recipes/30356-easy-slow-cooker-pulled-pork (http://www.chow.com/recipes/30356-easy-slow-cooker-pulled-pork)

This weekend we were invited to Mr LM's work Xmas party for his new job.  Nicest work Xmas party I've ever been to! We got picked up and driven to a beautiful restaurant with a view.  3 course meal with a choice of steak or salmon and some really great wine. I hadn't met the coworkers or partners before but found that the people were all really, really nice.


I was wondering what was going to happen with the free flowing alcohol and rides home provided, but everyone was really well behaved and respectful.  Sure, we probably drank a bit more than we would if we had been driving, but it was all work-appropriate...except perhaps for the boss, who was hammered!


Cooked a beef roast, Greek roast potatoes and broccoli for dinner.  It was the first Sunday in a long time that I was actually home during the day, so it seemed a good thing to do.  Watched Downton Abbey online and enjoyed the smell of dinner cooking.

Lunch was salad from the Save On Deli and dinner was take-out from T&T. We got 2 x (4 dishes with rice), a side of spicy tofu and and side of BBQ sausage.  4 of us (including 2 hungry teenagers) ate take-out for under $20. #winning
