heavy breathing ...

Except for the long skinny tempra shrimp that we used to sell an amazing amount of when I worked at US Foodservice back in the late 1990s, and up until probably 3 years ago was a popular item at BJ's Wholesale club.

Back in the 1980s my husband was in more than one exercise with 2 full carrier battle groups and over a dozen subs ... and that was just the US participation. Compared to the over 80 surface vessels and dozen undersea, this is mingy.

I am stuck in a small town in Connecticut - I would be freaking thrilled if I could dependably get decent artichokes in season instead of the tiny crappy frostbitten crap tat slowly filters its way here and gets sold for premium prices.

Female, 53 years old, currently drive a diesel VW Jetta [2006] - when I bought it 3 years ago I specifically searched New England for a diesel VW to replace the one my husband flipped. I get peeved by the jackasses that don't realize the waste stream production and discard hazmat issues that their precious damned…

Because the current crop of kids never got fed liver beause the 60s and 7s generation got fed dry nasty improperly cooked liver [for the most part]

The recipe is for heart, but it also can work for liver, just liver takes a lot less time to cook - though the gentle heat cooking is definitely what you do with liver.

That is why we have 'kosher salt' and the act of soaking something to remove blood is called 'koshering' =)

If you dice it into 1 inch cubes first, drop them into a bowl of salted ice water and sort of squdge it around with your hand [like one handed kneeding] then let it sit for about 20 minutes then squdge it gain it works. I use the between squdging time to peel 4 or 5 cloves of garlic and one softball sized onion per…

I have a killer good heart recipe that is amazing, but so many people will tell me it smells fantastic until I tell them what it is. *sigh*

You have to be introduced to liver *just right* - my generation got liver pan fried with onions and overcooked to shoe leather by women who never learned to give it a short soak in ice cold milk to get any remaining blood out [the source of the whole livery taste, in general.] and cook it rare to medium. My generation…

If people have extra money, they will go out and spend extra money on something, and it improves the economy. If a store gets more custom, they may well add someone to staffing. Historically this is even true, Imperial Rome was having a money crunch so the Emperor made zero interest loans available and tax benefits…

Can't even get your own name right, it appears to be JackfreakingBauer. Idiot and trollkin.

So? It happens. You know how many people are screwing in the world every day [night?] so that 1 % may sound inconsequential, but you also have to take into account how many rapes are *not* reported as well. Go read the commentary on the cultures of the middle, near and far east on how infrequently rape is reported…

Rapists rarely wear condoms. Asshole.

I am fat, 53 and definitely not stylish. Makes me wish I was an ultramillionaire with a 'name' for being into ultraprivacy ... I would have an absolute blast arranging a party somewhere like this just full of my nonstylish friends. Would they refuse to let us in when we arrived for being hippos, or would the desire to…

Not into the same stuff you like, I play EVE Online or Guild Wars 2 and read assorted blogs and websites. Pain induced insomnia. Fuck my lack of a life.

How else do you explain morons driving SUVs in snow like it was a warm day at the beach in Florida? They obviously think that a SUV magically negates any bad road conditions. Hell, I had a scout for about 10 years [between hauling the tools I needed when I was an outside mechanic for Henze-Movats and bales of hay and…

No penis, I happen to be a woman. No kids, between the toxemia, kidneys shutting down and eclampsia the whole pregnancy process was trying to kill me. I do have 6 goddaughters, and several sets of nieces and nephews though.

Not always, most station wagons do not have 3 rows of seating, and frequently the headroom sucks. One can actually move appliances in a minivan at need, or furniture that can not be moved in a station wagon. Last road trip I was on we had 8 people and luggage in a momvan without recoursing to loading stuff on the…
