I don’t actually know that answer, however most fishing vessels don’t. Even pretty good sized ones. (I’ve known a couple of people who own small fishing vessels.)

Probably, although it’s hard to say. Sauron is of the same level of beings that serve Ilúvatar as Gandalf, (The Maiar) so perhaps he’ll look like a pleasant but wise old man. Sauron was a student under the Vala Aulë the master craftsman, (The Valar are a level of beings above the Maiar in the hierarchy under Ilúvatar) …

Makes me wish I didn’t get so deathly seasick.  I get seasick in a bathtub.

Don’t even say that. The literal translation of “Vespa” is “Wasp.”

That’s an interesting point. I work with (read that: deliver to) ships coming up the Columbia river, and we watch the Columbia River Pilots board to see when they are arriving/departing. In the case of the Columbia there are at least two different pilots that are used. One comes on board at sea to bring the ship into…

Laser cows!

The Cleveland series of engines (The Ford 335 series) were physically larger and heavier than the Windsor engines, which is probably the reason they stuck with a Windsor. While the Cleveland engines were capable of more horsepower than the Windsor, under the hands of the right builder the 351W had plenty of HP…

I think that kind of was the recipe.

Have you ever tried a white lasagna? Chicken sausage, Mascarpone whipped with pesto, plenty of garlic, layered with Asiago, Provolone, and Mozzarella. A friend of mine taught me to make it with zucchini strips instead of noodles, but I prefer pasta. Pour heavy cream over it all instead of marinara and bake.

I’m fine, but I’ve been eating like garbage all week. I worked 3 12-hour days and a seven. Those long days really take it out of me. My friend who I work with has had a stomach bug since Thursday.

“Poppycock”

I haven’t tried chickpea pasta yet, but I like cooking with besan. Love Socca, although I don’t make it much.  It’s a bit of a pain in the ass for one.  I’ve also made cheese popovers with it that are pretty good.  As much butter as is involved and the cheese probably negates the health aspects of the chickpea flour,…

Ha! Never attended Wazzu, but my Dad was an alumnus.

Marmite and Vegemite are basically the same thing but in different concentration. I’m not certain anchovies would work the same magic, but I still bet what you made was sensational.

Nah, those little crystals disappear when you melt it. Which is a shame, but sometimes worth it.

So does being a teenager.

Oh my gods! I forgot about Bicycle Face.

If you haven’t made a grill cheese sandwich with Cougar Gold, you haven’t lived.  I bought a nice loaf of my favorite sourdough just to make some for me and my Mom.  The look on her face was worth it.
