Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: Bunnahabhain Date: 09 Sep 05 - 11:56 AM Smoke-Free Pubs. They're in ireland, are coming soon to the UK, and are definitly better than tobacco. I like being able to see and breathe at the end of an evening, especially if I'm going to try and sing. |

Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: *daylia* Date: 09 Sep 05 - 02:13 PM open mike, in my neck of the woods "kinick kinick" is a blend of sage, cedar, sweetgrass and .... (drum roll) .... Tobacco! These are the 4 traditional sacred herbs of the local Native peoples. Kinick kinick is used for ceremonial purposes (offerings, smudging) and not necessarily for smoking. Giok, how did you post those COOL notes? :-D (or rather, 'dots' - seeing as I'm on Mudcat) |

Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 09 Sep 05 - 08:28 PM I've had to open up the 'magic codes' by inserting lots of underscores '_' chars - simply reove all of them to make it work. &_#_9_8_3_5_; &_#_9_8_3_4_; ♫♪ |

Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: JennyO Date: 10 Sep 05 - 10:17 AM If you click on start/all programs/system tools/character map, there's a whole bunch of interesting characters there - including the notes. Just select the ones you want, click on copy, and paste them into your window. If you want to preview them first, you will see them as a whole bunch of numbers in your window, and as all the fancy characters in the preview pane. Then hit submit. And voila! ☼♫¢¾☺¢À☻¢¼¢Ü♦¢Æ§Ù₤◙ |

Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: Peace Date: 12 Sep 05 - 12:15 AM But with anchovies, right? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: Peace Date: 12 Sep 05 - 12:20 AM My landlord is a great guy. He's Greek. One night (Early morning actually--he decided he had to teach me to eat raw garlic the 'right' way. Mouthful of Feta cheese and a half clove of garlic, raw. He and I went through about fifty cloves between the hours of 2:00 AM and 3:30 AM. I got a fire call at 5:45 AM. Motor vehicle collision. It was 68 kilometers away from town. Six of us went. I was in the back of the rescue response vehicle with three other guys. They began to look at me. Then wrinkle their noses. Then I breathed on the fellow to my left. He said, "If there's any mouth to mouth to be done, maybe someone else should do it." It went on like that for 65 kilometers. We got turned back at kilometer 65 because the EMS didn't require extrication or help. I am still hearing about it--three weeks later. Go figure. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: Peace Date: 12 Sep 05 - 12:22 AM I think next time we'll add anchovies to that. Feta cheese, garlic, anchovies. Sounds like a plan to me. I'll let y'all know how it works out. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: JennyO Date: 12 Sep 05 - 12:23 AM Hold the jujubes tho - don't think they go too well with anchovies.. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: Peace Date: 12 Sep 05 - 12:27 AM Yeah. Good eye. We'll make it those chewy evergreen mints instead. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: Peace Date: 12 Sep 05 - 12:28 AM OK. Now I gotta get home and have some something on something. Night all. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: JennyO Date: 12 Sep 05 - 12:29 AM EEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWWWW! The combination, I mean. Gotta go now. Happy munching. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 12 Sep 05 - 09:06 AM If you eat enough garlic, eventually your body is cleansed, and you will no longer smell of garlic when you eat it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: bobad Date: 12 Sep 05 - 10:19 AM "If you eat enough garlic, eventually your body is cleansed, and you will no longer smell of garlic when you eat it." This doesn't make sense as the "smell" is produced by sulfur compounds contained in the garlic and not by some odiferous substance being cleansed from your body. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 12 Sep 05 - 08:14 PM I was told that the sulphurous smell comes about as a reaction to your unhealthy system. When you are healthy, no reaction, so no smell. Got this great land deal on cheap sea frontage land down in the Gulf... |

Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: saulgoldie Date: 12 Sep 05 - 09:57 PM ...a well-packed bowl of Penzance in a rusticated Il Ceppo. Listening to a folk compilation CD, and sipping bourbon. What could be better than that?!! Well, sex, yeah, sure. But I mean, other'n that? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: JennyO Date: 13 Sep 05 - 07:43 AM Just had a lovely risotto made by John - with tuna, onion, leeks, bacon, mushrooms, wine and some secret herbs and spices - topped off with melting parmesan - mmmmmmm! |

Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: Liz the Squeak Date: 14 Sep 05 - 06:17 AM A former boss of mine would eat garlic as if it were sweeties... she couldn't smell anything but we all knew she was on her way about 5 minutes before she walked through the door! It was so bad that a colleague suffering from morning sickness actually threw up in her office during a meeting with the boss. The longer you cook it, the less it smells/tastes, but you still exude the same fragrance the next day as if it were raw.... and not just via your breath either! LTS Sudden weird craving for garlic bread now! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: Liz the Squeak Date: 14 Sep 05 - 06:19 AM Add even more oddly, a craving for broad beans..... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Better Than Tobacco From: Gurney Date: 15 Sep 05 - 06:12 AM Good grief, Liz! Having a craving for broad beans is like having a craving for raw oatmeal. Only a woman who's..... Oh,...Oh, sorry. spaghetti up above, too. That tastes like a drink of water unless you put something with it. I once had a workmate who would suck a lemon with salt and pepper on it. Too bold for me. Cheese and fruitcake is as brave as I get. |
