    If they are right out of the oven , the remaining heat will kill any germs before they cool. I'll rationalize anything when it comes to desserts. How much do you want for the dropped ones? (A good bachelor never goes home hungry or empty handed. Especially if you are as bad a cook as I am.) Jim

    And here I sat craving dessert!

    I might be forced to settle for popcorn.

    ugh. yet another reason I don't cook-- fear of ruining things. that fear is often justified...

    I'd just sit on the kitchen floor and eat them right from there...

    Where's my glass of milk?

    By the way, sorry about last night's chat.. I had to reboot and by the time I got on.. chat was over...

    If it's ceramic tile you can even say they were baked in a special ceramic oven. Sort of.

    In Brazil there is a restaurant called Fogo de Chao, which translates to "Fire of the Floor", so call them Fogo de Chao Brownies.

    My step-daughter just got into pastry arts. Her boyfriend got yelled at for throwing something in the garbage that fell on the floor during his first week.
    Then there was the time that bread for a wedding was dropped. This is at a resort restaurant that you have to pay to walk in to ($20 per person sitting fee).

    Used to work for the then Yaohan in Singapore. They would wheel barrow the lump of frozen dough and plop it by the doorway to thaw and kneaded as you go through the door,... and they can't bake those An Pan faster than they could sell them.

    That works in our house but we kiss it up to a christian deity (sorry - PC'ness run amok) just in case. Supposedly by the time you die you eat something like 8 lbs of dirt.

    Went to the Atlanta Auto Show last weekend. There was a silver GT there that you could sit in. I posted a couple of pics in the photo gallery. That's one good looking sedan.

    I checked out some of the "seven passenger" SUVs just for curiosity and thought the back seat was pretty much a joke in everyone of them.

    Anybody seen the spare tire they put in the Cayenne? It's a weird looking thing that looks like some sort of run flat design (it's not inflated). Speaking the Cayenne, I was on the road behind one earlier this week and pardon the pun but from that angle it's butt ugly. It looks like a tall wagon with a serious case of thunder thighs!

    One last observation, I don't know about the rest of the country but Highlanders are becoming a dime a dozen around these parts but I rarely see a Pilot.

    Yeah, rob, but dirt has low carbs. ;-)

    Frank: how was head room? You're pretty tall and a lot of people ask about that. Did that one have a moonroof?

    HL outsells Pilot. I think Toyota offers a wider range of models, and they have many more dealers.

    Re Bike purchase: sorry I almost forgot to answer. I got a good deal on a decent 03 Raleigh with Campy components. It's nothing fancy but at least serves as a good motivator to ride again. My old bike is a Vitus 979 that I built myself back in the 80s.

  • p0926p0926 Member Posts: 4,423
    I wasn't really paying particular attention but I certainly didn't notice any lack of head room (and yes it had the moonroof).

    Funny thing about those - I've seen more of them here in the Boston area than some mainstream vehicles ie Mazda 6, Passat W8.
  • p0926p0926 Member Posts: 4,423
    One other thing... Although they may be nice vehicles, there's no way I'd consider a CR-V or RAV4 since neither of them has a rear bumper. Pretty much any hit is going to be an expensive repair. Had I been driving one when I got rear ended last year, instead of a scratched bumper, I almost ceratainly would have needed a new rear hatch and there might possibly have been damage to the rear quarter panels (since the hatch has zero shock absoprtion capabilities).

    Went to an Audi dealer the other day and actually held of my nausea long enough to sit inside a Cayenne. Didn't particularly care for the moccha color or the wide grain of the plastic trim.

    Not bad inside though. It's just that styling outside, yuck.

    Our next door neighbor recently got a pig as a pet. It really looks wierd in the back yard, with a harness around it. It's driving Annie, our golden, nuts.

    Sometime I think living where I am is like being in the twilight zone... If not pigs, it's deer, snakes, bulls or turkey buzzards!

    One time, a few years ago I was jogging down a narrow heavily wooded road, when I looked at a tree branch just in front of me, when I encountered an 8' or 10' black snake checking me out. We were literally eyeball-to-eyeball. Another time, again jogging, I ran into a bull that broke loose from a nearby farm. It was smack in the middle of the road!

    they're really smart and can function a lot like a dog... heck, and then some... but it's still very weird.

    My Mom's family had a pig, Rosemary, as a pet. Like Colin mentioned, my Mom tells us that she was one intimidating watch-hog.

    Oh, they had a rooster too. Great alarm clock :D

    -Dave
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Bob - that's hysterical.

    I was thinking - mmmmm bacon!

    Supposedly they are good pets, though. Some pot belly pigs stay relatively small.

    If my neighbor had a rooster, I'd buy a BB gun. :o)

  • locke2clocke2c Member Posts: 5,038
    the vietnamese pot belly definitely is small compared to whatever variety is our normal feed livestock. like 1/4" the size. but it's still a pretty good sized animal! I think most people probably don't realize how large a (regular) pig can get.

    and no I'm not a farmer. :) my co-worker has a few pigs, cows, and 4 horses though.

  • lucien2lucien2 Member Posts: 2,984
    does raise some ethical issues for me as a meat eater, I have to say. I could never personally slaughter my own dog for food, and so I wonder how I'd feel about bacon if I got to know one of these animals.
  • locke2clocke2c Member Posts: 5,038
    my ability to eat meat has nothing to do with relative animal intelligence levels.

    you don't eat dogs because they are pets. hopefully, no one would eat a potbellied pig they kept as a pet, either.

    that the 'conditioner' is in my Outback. No issues or concerns. Took about 20 minutes, like they said. There is now a notation on the overflow bottle indicating WWP-99 as well.

    Forgot to ask if they add it to the overflow or directly to the radiator. Hope it was to the radiator...

    If its back faces skyward, it's edible.

    No, I can't see myself eating a pet either.

    Rosemary lived till the ripe old age, according to Mom.

    Heya,

    It has been, oh, say four months since I have posted. My home computer died and work has been so busy I didn't have time to get on to post here. I made it through the CA recall and still have a job! It was touch and go for awhile and very stressful. Still isn't a cakewalk.

    I also moved in November so life has been crazy!

    But of course Ruby (Subie - she finally has a name) is a trooper and hasn't given me any reason to worry. Well, there is the one oddity - when we open and close the passenger door the radio loses power. I have to open and slam the door to get it to work again, sometimes open and close it a few times. It is under warranty and I know I need to take it in but free time has been short.

    We are taking Ruby to Yosemite in two weeks for a week of camping. I am crossing my fingers that this beautiful California early spring lasts a few more weeks!

    Hope you have been doing well around here.

    Oh, and I bought a new computer and have DSL again so I am back in full cyber arsenal!

    Take care!

    Sounds like a loose connection at the passenger kick panel. I think that's where most of the wiring runs through.

    We Americans live an overly sterile life, and it probably accounts for why we have become so overly sensitive to food-borne bacteria. As Dave said, just spend some time in parts of Asia to desensitize yourself to the idea of a little dirt with your food. That which does not kill you makes you stronger....

    10 second rule Eh! I came from a family of 8 kids and 3 adults, we had a bachelor uncle who lived with us.We could'nt afford the luxury of throwing food out just because it fell, if you didn't eat it somebody else would.

      Cheers Pat.

    I grew up as one of 3 brothers, we learned to eat quickly or starve. Drink quickly, too.

    Growing up in farming family, there was no such thing as waste. When something you were eating was dropped, the mantra that made it okay to pick it up and consume was, "God made dirt and dirt don't hurt." Living frugally was madantory...and to this day I still marvel at how my mom could cut up one chicken to fry and there would be enough pieces to feed 12 people.

    In those days there were some pretty imag'inative ways to stretch food, my mother could make a pound of mince steak go a long way.

    I'm pretty good at it .. for awhile I was feeding four teenagers, a baby, and two adults in my house ... as good as I stretched .. with the teenagers friends in attendance as often as not, the grocery bill ran about $100 a month ...

    about a year later, I was cooking for just myself and a teenage daughter ... I'd cook and we'd both laugh at the huge amounts I'd made ... and then we'd eat the same thing for a week ... I finally learned to feed only TWO OF US!

    my wife and I, both not feeling well, split Wonton soup from the local Chinese restaurant. $3.25! And lost weight too. Of course, I was hungry for the next week.

    There just aren't enough Big Puffy Diddly Rap Masters around to add up to significant volume.

    Besides, Escalades are flashier, bigger, and cost less.
