oh and btw - can someone please tell me where the "r" is in "colonel"? and how come it's gone missing?

I'm going to have to have a talk with the owners of this place. they are very nice people, and to be honest - English is not their first language. And i don't think French is either. great kwee-shay over there hto.

oooh..the milkman. great idea!

eh?

only if there was an e at the end of the double t no? i mean..that logic works for culottes.

curry in a dessert? that's just wrong.

eh voila - you're not being rude jpw, just...european. http://www.cuisinenet.com/digest/custom/et...sil_howto.shtml

eh. it's jsut showboating, imo. It's doesn't have an appealing look, and there's not much to taste. that's 2 important eating senses down.

I do the Miss So and So thing with coworkers too. I just can't see not doing it. *lol*

Re - knife and fork in the wrong hand - isn't there a difference in style between american and continental? I know being left handed i definitely prefer to use my fork in my left hand, and then when a knife is necessary, i use my right hand.

bring back: lard get rid of: random and inappropriate sweetness in savory dishes. oh yeah, and foam. what's the point?

Well, yes it's in the bread, but if they expect you to eat the bread, which I expect they would, they would serve it to you in/on something, I'd imagine. If eating there, probably on a plate. But I was just thinking about if someone wanted it for take-out, is there a container it was served in? Oh I see what you're syaing. Around here the bread companies just pack it in a styrofoam container.

Dejah's description sounds about right to me. The jerk seasoning is a cross between a wet rub and a marinade. Not wet enough for a true marinade, but not dry enouhg for a dry rub. It's a paste.

it wasn't a "something or the other bread company" was it?

wow jackal - trenchers - that's taking me back to sixth grade history. i was fascinated by trenchers.

what do you mean what it is served in? i thought it was served in the bread?

theakston - i wish that website had a wav file or something i would love to actually here the song.

phaelon and cusina - thanks for the etiquette check, i was wondering if maybe i was being selfish. I've taken to keeping any sort of candy, cookie, cheatmeal stuff i don't want eaten in my bedroom closet. It feels wierd to do it, but if i don't she will literally eat it all and then say "i wasn't feeling well - all i could handle was some sugar." ugh.

*lol* it's the little things that tell you who people are really. (to be honest, it wasn't that he couldn't take the heat - it was that he put his saliva all over a communal item) I've got a serious respect for the scotch bonnet now. I made some Indian chicken curry over the weekend, and the scotch bonnets wer elooking good at the store, so i decided to get one very tine one (it wound up beign free) and using it to spice my curry. I didn't use gloves whilst chopping and my thumb was still tingling and tender after i had taken a shower AND washed the dishes.

i wish i remembered how my folks raised me, because my roommate needs some serious help. i've finally gotten ehr trained to say excuse me when she burps. most of the time. I'm working on the talking with your mouthful thing. I don't even know where to start with the chewing with your mouth open part. I don't know how to get her to find some proper manners without being rude. howeve rif i don't do something soon, i might wig out one day and try to choke her. it's a tough call. Actually here's a question - i'm trying to figure out if this is rude or if i'm jsut being greedy. If there is a food that i've bought, let's say cereal - highly sugared kiddy cereal (we're both on specific diets so we don't really share food per se) and i eat most of the box over the course of time, but there's one serving left....is it rude for her to eat that last serving?

i would carbon copy the paper as well. a little publicity and education wouldn't hurt. maybe even a strike. always works for the french.

i'm worrying myself, because everytime i read the word lager i'm pronouncing it "largah" in my head. I've been hanging around too many northerner brits. in any case a black velvet sounds very intriguing.

that's what i was thinking. Hee hee..i remember this one time I had a suitor over to my house. I had a bottle of Jamaican hot sauce on a shelf and he said..wow, you like hot sauce, huh? I love all hot stuff! So he grabe the bottle, and actually swigs (like put his mouth an everything) a moutful of it. Man he turned all different shades of color, sweated, gasped and was actually tired once his ordeal was all over. I never went out with him again.
