We were watching and my thought was that I would absolutely LOVE to see someone doing something to Rammstein's Engel [

I wouldn't use bacon fat, it has salt and other possible chemicals [to give bacon the nice smokey taste] Lard is a reasonably neutrally flavored fat [it does have a slight porky taste, just like tallow has a slight beefy taste, and schmaltz has a slight chickeny taste.]

Lots of fun [though I admit we tend to have chip and dip nights where we have guac and salsa, garlic/artichoke heart hummus and french onion dip with corn chips, potato chips and pita chips. Nice break from a more formal dinner on sunday evenings.]

mush in 3 or 4 roasted garlic cloves, avoids the whole raw garlic taste and no need for dried garlic.

Works for me! I would so totally watch that. Leave the guns on, moto-biethelon! Just need to figure out the placement for the pop up targets =)

IH used to be great, at least their small truck division. I put almost half a million miles on my 79 Scout 2 - original engine gave out at the 320 000 mile mark, only reason I don't still have it is my husband hit a patch of black ice and totalled it. So easy to work on the thing, minimal electronic crap to deal with.…

And I did the reverse, I introduced drop box and spreadsheets to my EVE Online corp industrial group which made making caps and supercaps so much easier. Now people can log in and see what still needs manufacturing before the final ship goes into production. Who knew that being an accountant in real life would be…

Well, last time we went from Fresno to SF, we took about 4 hours and it was an easy drive [as opposed to the time we were in northern CA back in 1989 when we decided that visiting an earthquake wouldn't be the touristy fun my first trip to visit his family should have been.] and why yes, Gilroy does smell like garlic…

Not to mention multiple killer good farmers markets, including one from the local ag college that has some of the most amazing stuff, being 4 hours easy drive from San Francisco, about the same from Castroville [I absolutely adore artichokes] a couple hours from Gilroy [I also adore garlic and the air smells…

Perhaps when the enemy stops setting car bombs, IEDs and such taking out citizens as well as military. Though I do seem to remember 3 jets being used as impromptu weapons and taking out part of the Pentagon and these big buildings in New York... or maybe those were imaginary.

<shrug> I stopped shopping at WalMart back in 2003 when WoW came out. I had the program on my computer because I was a beta tester, and when the roll out came, I bought a copy at Walmart because at first the only way you could get a game key was in the boxed game. When I brought it home, I had 3 AOL CDs in cases in…

I find a nice hot cup of black tea soothes a sore throat when I have one. I always thought it was the tannic acid doing it.

That is why they publish "style books", I have a couple on my shelves. Elements of Style and Strunk and White are probably the ones I grab most.

Back in my broke assed poorest days I developed my favorite meal -

I learned a different way of making it from a friend with a old school escaped from Russia ahead of the ravening mob of proles grandmother.

Eh, if you are healthy and a woman with a bit of money it becomes much easier to fade out - you simply need to hook up with a man who makes enough to support a person living with them and willing to trade support for sex. If you don't need medication, don't own anything and are not responsible for the bills it becomes…

Perfect type of project for a work pot luck - it is handy being able to put up a name and list of ingredients.
