Subject: RE: BS: Allowing threads to die peacefully From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Apr 10 - 07:49 AM There are some that should be buried in an unmarked grave, at a crossroads, at midnight, with a stake through it just in case... or is that just me and melodeons? LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Allowing threads to die peacefully From: Bill D Date: 22 Apr 10 - 12:14 PM Prolific vacillating ambergris exonerates bifurcated ambiguities. Moribund, incoherent flagellation revitalizes alliterative dyspepsia. Ancillary breadwinners correlate deciduous eviscerated flotillas-gratuitously haranguing incendiary Jacobites. (it's just a stream-of-conciousness vocabulary exercise I do sometimes when trying to get to sleep...instead of counting sheep. The rules are .... must be a complete phrase or sentence which makes grammatical sense, need NOT make real sense, and each word must be at least 3 syllables. I debated allowing myself prepositions and articles, but that made it too easy. Extra points for getting the spelling right in print, which doesn't apply when done entirely in the head. Also, extra points for using all the same beginning letter, or for each word being in alphabetical order (#3). Getting past I & J is a bonus.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Allowing threads to die peacefully From: Ebbie Date: 21 Apr 10 - 08:40 PM A thread that was a lot of fun some time back was titled something like 'Killing a Thread'. This was before we had the option of clicking on a 50-post page so it was closed - and in time deleted, I believe. I would like to have it back. :) |

Or, "I looked back (and posted), to see if you looked back, (and posted)"?

Subject: RE: BS: Allowing threads to die peacefully From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 21 Apr 10 - 03:08 PM Scouse An authentic production of Scouse should allow the spoon to stand straight up in the bowl! For veggies, simply remove the meat from the recipe and cook as normal and you have 'Blind Scouse' . Scouse Serves: 6 People 900g/2lb neck of lamb, cubed (remove fat first) 450g/1lb stewing or braising steak, cubed (remove fat first) 600ml/1pt beef stock, plus extra hot water for topping up Oil for frying 3 onions, peeled and sliced 900g/2lb potatoes, peeled and sliced 900g/2lb carrots or parsnips or swede, peeled and cubed (or a mixture) seasoning to taste 1 tbsp fresh thyme Recipe Preheat the oven to gas 3/325F/170C. Melt a small amount of oil in a large heavy-based pan (or, alternatively, use a metal casserole dish). Seal the lamb and beef cubes quickly in the hot oil, turning often. When the meat begins to brown, add the onions, and cook for 5 minutes stirring often. Pour into a casserole and add all other ingredients except the salt. With cheap cuts of meat it's always best to add the salt towards the end of the cooking time, otherwise it will make the meat too tough. Add enough hot water to just cover all the ingredients. Cover with a lid and cook in the centre of the oven for 4 hours until the vegetables are cooked through and the ingredients are softer and mixed together. Taste, adjust the seasoning. |
