Ah, Cornish pasties!
Everything we've mentioned can be delicious, except for lutefisk and barf. Might as well add in gefilte fish. Not going to try Rocky Mountain Oysters.
The recipe was a basic quickbread dough, not a pie crust. Pie crust would have been much better. Filling was lean beef and potatoes, not much liquid. Onion, maybe? Bland, boring, dry.Really? Well, it's important to have a good pie crust recipe to start with. And what was in the filling? Rutabaga, potatoes, onions, and pork loin (or beef, either is okay) are a must. But I often add a little cabbage as well. Keeps it from drying out.The ones I made were awful - dry and tasteless.Pasties are awesome.Hmmm...pasties...
Yes, I did spend a large chunk of my childhood in the UP.
That. Is. Not. Pasties.
At all. Blech. That sounds terrible. No it must be made with pie crust. Made with real butter or with lard, either will work. But no margarine crap. And never with lean meat. I tried that once myself. Awful. Always use a slightly fatty cut of meat. Much better. This isn't supposed to be good for you.
They are a lot of work, but good ones are worth it. And for me they are classic childhood comfort food. :)

She's like Jack Sprat, she only eats lean meat. She leaves half a steak on the plate sometimes because of that. I once fried and ate all the fatty parts from the stew meat she was gonna discard! Best flavor in the world!

Ah but the tastiest thing of all....
....and my next post with this alias will be number....

So I am writing an article for the Workshop exploring the idea that Dungeon beneath Ptolus can be considered a Mythic Underworld. I am pretty excited about this concept, though I think I have reached the point where I have to ask myself if anyone would really care about a multi-page dissertation into the subject. I know it would be popular but those doubts creep in every so often, you know.
I am thinking I should take a break. Perhaps I will do some packing while I let the ideas percolate some more.
It sounds interesting to me. :)

Good night!
I'm singing out!
What song?
I wanna make my own clubhouse....No Dudes Allowed
now see I will be a member and therefore only one Dude will be allowed :P
There'll still be too much sausage. :p
Sharoth said something comprehensible? Did you write a tilde filtering script or something?OH MY GOD! I CAN UNDERSTAND SHAROTH?!??!??!
I still can't ... or maybe I'm not trying. At all. (?)
Thanks taig. I so feel the love that you are putting out.You must have taken the feat.Sharoth said something comprehensible? Did you write a tilde filtering script or something?OH MY GOD! I CAN UNDERSTAND SHAROTH?!??!??!But that's completely suboptimal! I am full of fail!
It's because you kept trying to take my iPad. :)
That's why you held it on your person practically the whole trip. You were afraid he was going to take it behind some building and ... interface with it.

Must have Galchutts vs Cenobyte turf wars.
Pasties are the things that cover boobie parts, right? Then I don't like them. No sir.

a box of wetnaps wouldn't wash away the sins.
So, apparently I need to leave my 'sheenery at home if I ever meet up with you guys?

Hehehehehehe
Ah yes watching to Dungeons and Dragons cartoon with my kids. So how is everyone else on this insane thread doing?

So did mine. All kidding aside, everyone's 'sheenery was spared of violation by the dragon.

Pretty well. I pitched a tent and am waiting for answers.

He pitched his tent, I caught the signal, and I gave him what he wanted.
Then why do I feel so dirty now?

You got it from Urizen, how could you not?
You didn't take down your tent yet. What else was I supposed to do? It's like a clarion call that you're just asking for what I can give you.
All in all its been a worthwhile day.
Having me take things down: Urizen's new obsession.

Good morning folks!
I must have been a Southerner in another life, because despite being raised in the Yankeest of Yankvilles I LOVE grits. And chicken and dumplings, and chciken-fried steak, and jumbalaya, etc. Didn't have any until I went in the Army, but man, how bland food seemed up here afterwards! Oh and real Mexican food. Taco Bell is a pale shadow compared to the mom-and-pop restaurants in Monterey and El Paso. Mmmmm ... Chiles Rellenos ....
*blink*
~grumble~ Mornin'.
So, wait! You're comparing Army jambalaya to real jambalaya?
Edit: Oh yeah, morning everyone.
Please! Like I ever ate in the mess hall! One of the perks of being a journalist is we qualified for separate rats.

Ewwww
Goooooooooood morning Fawlty Towers!!!!
Good news! After weeks(potentially months) of walking to work, my legs no longer feel like rubber 24-7! It's not the constant low thrumming/burn I had when exercising/training regularly, but it's something close- almost like my muscles are in a calm, ready state. It feels damn good, let me tell you. That, and my brain seems to be working better. I was able to remember a complex(for me anyway) string of things to check out online once I got to work, and I was able to call 'em up as soon as I got here, no problem. Overall, I feel more alert, awake, and refreshed.
Aside from this, nothing else is going on. It's going to be a crazy day, one of many out of this crazy month. A quick check of the schedule with gaming buddies reveals that there will be neither Ptolus or Darklight Sisterhood this month(*sniff*) and my weekly game hasn't happened in a couple of weeks. Goddamn this "mature adult" life we all lead. I'd kill for yesterday's much-touted naptime along with juice and cookies afterwards.

A bit more personal detail from the Doc than we are used to....
Then why do I feel so dirty now?
If you don't need a shower afterwards than you ain't doin' it right! ;)
Bored...should get up and get moving......
