No....no.....NO RED MEAT!? O_oI've changed my diet a little bit, starting snacking on bananas and apples instead of candy bars, plus controlling portions. I am in the process of trying to find foods high in iron, because like a fool I gave up red meat for lent.blood pressure down, weight down, more snow tonight, all in all pretty goodKudos man. I'm working on that m'self. All but the snow thing ;)
Holy Crap... I +1 Kirk's statement. I couldn't live without red meat (the redder the better - I have my steak )

Other than the virus making it's rounds and poor Fin our week has been blissfully uneventful.Well, I hope everyone is better now. Uneventful can be a Godsend.
Me, I am trying an improv chili recipe in the crock to take gaming tomorrow. I hope it is good.
Mmmmm Chili. I havn't had a good chili in awhile, maybe I should get the woman to pick up the stuff for me.
And don't forget the cornbread, gotta have cornbread with chili. :)
I have no idea what Cornbread is and given I'm not a huge fan of any knid of Corn that's not in a Shell or a Chip then I'm not sure I'd go for it.
On the Chilli front though, Mel picked me up some Turbo Charge 10+ Habanero Chilli Paste (Oh Gods how I love that stuff!) last weekend, so I am mega keen to make my Chilli again soon! :D

Cooking with a crock-pot is boring. :(
I might do the cornbread bit. Excellent idea with chili.
Other tidbits from work this week...
1. We had a couple workers from another lab spend a few days using one of our calibrators. One was cool and brought me some homemade beef jerky after we started talking about cooking. Yeah for free food.
2. This also led to a discussion of an interesting dish: pork seasoned with pork. Basically it involves taking a pork roast, cutting slits in it before cooking, and then stuffing the pork roast with bacon. MMMM bacon.
3. One of my co-workers (retired US Navy) told a funny stunt that I cannot believe he did. His wife is Phillippino and they have been married for 30 years. He had previously made the mistake of doing his own taxes and then had her hound him over and over saying 'so and so took this as a deduction why didn't you', etc. etc. So, now he takes their taxes to a tax service and brings hers back to sign. So, this year he brought back about an inch thick of paper and told her she needed to sign in about four places which she did without reading. He then informed her that they were now officially divorced and he would see her later. I don't think the joke went over too well. :(
1) Free food is always a win!
2) Bacon makes everything better! Don't believe me? Try it in your Corn Flakes.
3) That is sick.... I laughed. :D
1) Funnily enough I don't actually like Beef Jerky. Anyone who knows me is usually quite surprised by this...
2) I +1 what Kirk said... well except for the Cornflakes bit. Even I'm not that insane! ;)3) I had to suppress my laugh. Everyone's asleep. Under different circumstances that's something that I'd try.
Good evening Flash! Good morning my fellow Murrikins!
BTW, cornbread is a delicious treat made from ground cornmeal. Very dense, often sweet, very cakey (IMO). Goes very good with chili, especially if you break it up and mix it in with it! YUM!

Good evening Flash!
Hey Pat.
Does 11.15pm still count as evening? ;)
I gotta stay up to make sure the 2 Portable DVD Players we got the Kids for their Birthdays are charged and ready to go in case they want to play with them. Originally we boght them for Christmas, but after some dilemas as to whether or not the Cars one we got for Seth from America (thank you sooooo much again Moorluck and Solnes for doing that for us) would work properly over here we decided to hold off 'til their Birthdays (we also got Caitlin a Fairies (Tinkerbell) one) so we could be sure.
Good evening Flash!Hey Pat.

It aint morning till after midnight, so I'd guess yes ;)

Morning.
errr... Yes and No. :/
Yes it works fine. Charged up and turned on without a hitch. No it won't play anything. I was sure when we bought it that it said it was a Multi-Region player, but apparently it will only play NTSC and everytime I put in one of our PAL DVDs it came up saying "incorrect DVD region". :(

Yeah I was thinking that I may have to call on you guys to get us some stuff, so thanks for the offer. :)
I'll talk to Melodie about it tomorrow and see what she wants to do, but I have a feeling that this may be our only option, to "double up" on some of his favourites.I think somehow that CARS would be #1 on the top of that list. ;)
Flash,
Q: Does the DVDs play on your computer just fine?

Right now our local Wally World is having a DVD sale, so consider it our B-Day gift to the little man. If you can let us know about 7-8 of his faves so I can get them this Sunday. :)

Cool, thanks, but I'm sure Melodie will want to send you money for it (as would I... that is waaay too much).
I'll definately hit Melodie up first thing about it though and send you a message (I'm gonna have an extremely limited amount of computer time tomorrow, gotta be up and on the go first thing to prepare the yard).
It's not the DVDs that are the problem, it's the player. We thought it was a multi-Zone player (portable 7" screen) but apparently it's not. :(Flash,
Q: Does the DVDs play on your computer just fine?
I know it's the DVDs that are not the problem. Just answer the question, dammit. :P
EDIT: If they do, I have an alternative solution for you guys.

errr.. OK then :)
Yeah the DVDs do play on my computer.EDIT: Ahhh didn't see your edit until after I replied. I'm assuming you mean to copy them and make the copy a different Region, right? I thought of that but honestly it's waaaaay too much screwing around. I'd probably just rather bite the bullet and buy like a dozen of his favourites again.
I'll FB you and LPM. Hold on.
EDIT: sent.
K folks, gotta get my day moving. Have a good one and I'll catch you all laters!
*blink*
It'll take time. Sometimes you have to be patient while fishing.

hmmm... considering that I have to be up in around 5ish hours and have a massive day ahead of me (100+ people coming to a Birthday party for a 4 and 2 Year Old) you think I'd be smart and be in bed right... right...?
O yeah... Flash and Smart aren't two words that should be bandied around in close proximity! ;)

That continental breakfast was lame.Not a fan of doughnuts and orange juice in the morning? ;)
Yeah which continent are they emulating with that swill? Lemuria?
OK, now I'm really going :P

Heh. Well, they had a waffle maker, and I was pretty excited about that, but what came out of it was some kind of cross between porridge and cardboard. And the coffee was swill.
I should have just had the doughnuts and orange juice :)

Is there a Sonic nearby? I like to pick up a Bacon Cheesburger and some onion rings in the morning whenever I pass one. Beats nasty waffles and fresh brewed swill any day. ;)

Nope. And anyway, no car :/ I'm stuck at the hotel until my partner finishes his test and comes to pick me up. It'll probably be in an hour or two.
Thank goodness for my laptop and some RPG books.

I just noticed that I use capital letters for Bacon Cheesburger, like it's some sort of proper name or something. What does that say about me. :/
We'll be concerned when you start capitalizing pronouns referring to bacon cheeseburgers as well.
"And lo, I saw before me an host of Bacon Cheeseburgers, resplendent in all Their glory. And as I looked upon Them I was moved, for They had a look of deliciousness about Them"

Just stay away from the pay channels on the TV, those charges are embarassing! ;)
So you're stuck in a hotel room with us for company? Damn dude... you have my pitty. :P

Anyway, what's worse is I have to check out by 11, so if he's not hear by then, I'll have to move to the lobby.

OK, funny story about Pay Channels in Hotels:
When I was 12 I went on a Cultural Exchange thingie to America (LA) and we stopped over in Hawaii for a few days on the way home. There were 4 of us guys who had 2 rooms just down the hall from each other. We started to watch the Pr0n channel, but after 30 seconds it went fuzzy, so we then switched to the second pr0n channel, until it too went fuzzy. We repeated this back and forth until after about 5 minutes both just went fuzzy full time. We then raced down the hall to the other room and did the same thing on their TV. By that time, our TV had reset and so we raced back down to do it all over again on our TV. We did this for about an hour, 4 12 year old guys running back and forth between rooms every 5 minutes to catch a glipmse of some Z grade pr0n...
I just noticed that I use capital letters for Bacon Cheesburger, like it's some sort of proper name or something. What does that say about me. :/We'll be concerned when you start capitalizing pronouns referring to bacon cheeseburgers as well.
"And lo, I saw before me an host of Bacon Cheeseburgers, resplendent in all Their glory. And as I looked upon Them I was moved, for They had a look of deliciousness about Them"
"And lo, did The Bacon Cheesburger place Itself at value item #4. And so then did the masses see It in all It's Glory, and knowing the love of The Bacon Cheesburger in all It's greasy greatness, where they fed. Join me now in prayer.... Our Burger who art with Bacon, hallowed be Thy taste, Thy bacon crisp, Thy cheese be melted, greasy be Thy goodness. Amen."
Damn you! Now I'm hungry.
Come before It, my zombie friend. Know that It will accept you if you give your stomach to It. The Bacon Cheesburger will fill your gut, no longer will you need to feast on brains, never again will you desire the taste of other, lesser foods. Let The Bacon Cheesburger into your stomach and know true spiritul fufillment. I will pray for you my son...
Hahummmmmmmmmmmm Bacon.
Hahummmmmmmmmmmm Bacon.
Hahummmmmmmmmmmm Bacon.
Mmmmmmmmmmm.... Bacon.
