Yes, but when we oversalt, we add some potato for a half hour and remove it just before serving. Or driving, as the case may be.

My brother's birthday is the 24th, and my mother "solved" it when he was a kid by celebrating his "half-birthday" in June. Later, his birthday party became the party of the year, since it was held the 23rd and it was the perfect time for everyone to get together since folks were back in town from their far-flung…

Thus adding a slightly smoky, slightly S&M element to the dish!

I get pork belly from a local Mexican market and it has nipples on it. It freaks me out. Is it supposed to have nipples?

I recommend you tell her you'll read it just as soon as she makes her first million dollars.

Actually, since we're not thrilled with Dad's current g/f, that might be an AWESOME gift - as she will be with us for Christmas.

My in-laws gave us a copy of The Secret on DVD one year. We didn't open it, because it wouldn't be a secret then, would it?

I remember reading "Brokeback Mountain" while killing time waiting for a departing flight, in a New Yorker and being amazed. I think that was just when she was starting to use "Annie" in place of "A.E."

Whisperwind - and your story was so familiar I was sure you were from there as well. It's a small world (actually, a really big world - evidently, there are just fewer stories than we'd thought).

Met my husband on Asheron's Call (we actually lived 20 blocks apart but were on the same server and the same "town" and hung out a lot before we realized how closely we lived) - and about a half dozen of our wedding guests came from all over the country.

On the other hand, Gawker finds him telegenic.

I am SO GLAD we got rid of the slightly-smarter cousin of your thermostat and replaced it with a Nest. It was expensive but I love being able to tell the thermostat "hey just because I'm in the next room surfing the internet in my pajamas doesn't mean I'm not home, you can go back to heating the house" without...not…

I figure anyone who can carry two cast iron bathtubs to the shoreline probably doesn't need Cialis. Or maybe that's why they need Cialis...

Is what I was thinking

And this is based on actual cat-swinging. Jim Bob, Jolene and Lil Ray will bear facial scars for life to attest to it.

I dunno, either way it looks kinda cute on him.

Jons. They ALWAYS know nothing.

Or mom just had a date that night ;o)
