What's for Dinner ~ Saturday May 19th

You know, Lu, who replaced the hate-filled bitter old Mrs. Alfred Packer, the hippywife primitive, as the deus ex machina of the cooking and baking forum, is a real trouper.

The cooking and baking forum's not anywhere near as lively as it used to be, but Lu plugs away, trying to stimulate the primitives into action.

Kudos to Lu!

1. Good morning!

I am wondering the same thing at the moment, I am thinking something with cabbage cooked or raw.

I am also thinking of something with okra or zucchini. What you think?

Just added broccoli and spinach soup to my meal whatever that may be.

2. Going to be bad and grill big juicy hamburgers...

it's the weekend after all.

Well, that sounds like a winner, but don't forget to press the hamburgers down hard on the grill, to get them cooked all the way through, and to get all the grease out.

3. What does the weekend have to do with eating dead flesh from tortured animals, which take up tons of resources just to produce one pound?

4. You're right! I think I'll just have a bowl of dirt.

8. We are low fat, low salt, low cholesterol during the week..

As much as possible. Then, we fall off the chuck wagon a little on the weekends. Not too much, but enough to feel naughty.

10. Hi, botanist here!

Some plants have memories, and can communicate between each other. One genera of parisitic plants can even "smell" the plants they want to paricitise and move in that direction. As scientists discover more and more about what plants can do and know....you may want to look at living on the dirt mentioned by another poster, or perhaps air.

P.S. Growing plants is not all that great for the environment, either.....take a look at the Ural Sea and Mono Lake.

One wonders where the Ural Sea's at.

And I thought I knew Soviet geography; apparently not.

<<never heard of "Mono Lake" though.

6. I am going to actually do something with fish.

I don't like fish (except raw) and I really don't like to cook it.

But I am going to make some salmon cakes just to see if I can.

 --I think that's the vomit thingamajig, but I could be wrong.

12. grazing

I think I'm going to graze today--appetizers at appropriate intervals.

I started off with homemade tortilla chips and I also made pineapple salsa to go with.

My next round of appetizers might be Chinese dumplings.

I think you need to be taken out behind the woodshed.

Everyone should give thanks to the Lord Almighty that they don't live with DUmmy butterflynumbers.

Ummmm, frank, that's not vomiting.

The DUmpster has been brought to you today by the letter "pee".

 

Edited to properly capitalize "DUmpster"

Oh.

Well, as you know, sir, I rarely use these things.

I pulled down the screen and looked for a vomiting one, and this one came the closest.

Coach, try this one:

WTF is wrong with you ****ing DUmmies?  I did NOT fight my way to the top of the ****ing food chain to be a damned Vegan tree-hugging metrosexual limp-wristed ****ing worthless panty-waist shitstick!

MEAT, ****ers!!!  MEAT!!!!!!!

Oh, and for the record, beer-can chicken.  Turned out AWESOME.  So moist, juicy, and tender.  I cried as I imagined the tortured cackles of the bird as its head was lopped off.  Okay, not really.  But it was good.

It made me smile, my friend. Truly smile.

"They're very small." What pretentious bullshit.

DUmmy is probably feeding her co-vivant* Chef Boy-Ar-Dee beef ravioli, a stale Hostess Sno-Ball, and a Wal-Mart cola.

*Thanks to DUmbass Iverglas for a new way to describe spouse/live-in/roommate in a totally non-committal way.

Well dummie... ain't you freaking special!!!!

I eat pasture raised beef every day. Steaks, roasts, burgers. The whole nine yards. I also eat hog stye raised pork, barnyard raised chicken, pond raised fish, and garden raised veggies. Sometimes I even eat deer and turkeys harvested by hunting. I also cook my food over a forest harvested wood fire sometimes.

Difference between you and me is that I have actually raised beef, pork and bird. I've also actually grew a garden. Now I get it from the guy that bought Grandpa Perky's farm. I help him out on the weekends in the summer when he needs it, he shares with me in August. The whole work for your food thing. Foreign concept to you I know.

3. What does the weekend have to do with eating dead flesh from tortured animals, which take up tons of resources just to produce one pound?

Really?  Have you done the research?  Have you weighed "input and output", done the caloric calculations, weight to energy conversions, etc.?

I say you are full of more shit than the "dead flesh from a tortured animal" is, which if you spent at least part of a day on a farm, you would see it would be a significant amount.

I like to see what F'ed up "report" this moron read.

Tell me how a cow, one of nature's creatures, takes up "tons of resources" grazing in a pasture?  It's a factory, DUmbass!!!!

Grass and water go in one end, organic fertilizer comes out the other, and when the time is right, you harvest the meat in the middle and make their skins into clothes and shoes.

F'n DUmbasses.  Either they are getting DUmber, or I am growing more and more intolerant of them as I get older.

I am thinking the ural sea is the one in the former USSR that dried up when it's major tributaries were diverted to irrigate nearby farmland, but was mismanaged so badly the farmland, the tributaries, and the sea all dried up. I am thinking that mono lake is also receding, and it has no apparent tributary save for precipitation. But wasn't owebuma supposed to restore water levels ?

He was supposed to stop the seas from rising. 

Or was that the oceans? 

Or was he supposed to be able to walk on water?

Why yes, of course ! All that and more was promised.

I went out for dinner with friends to celebrate a friend's birthday and had some pretty tasty eggplant parmigiana.  

The pretentiousness of the DUmmies never fails to entertain.

Where did you go CR?

Where did you go CR?

Spaghetti Works.  The eggplant was good, but the pasta that came with it was only so-so.  It was a fun group of people, and we ended the night by running through the rain back to our cars.

Sounds kind of like Old Spaghetti Factory.  Good place for average pasta and salad for way cheap--although I lovelovelove their browned buttered spaghetti in mizithra cheese.

organic beef medallions(they're very small)

Well aren't you just special, DUmmies?  Here's a little newsflash for ya hon--the whole cow is still just as dead no matter how much of it you ate.

I'm thinking of making Tater Tot Casserole tonight.
