Safe trip! Safe return! And mostly- have fun!

Nope, just the brains part. I still eat raw eggs, bought from the healthy-food store.OK, to rephrase- I still do stuff with uncooked eggs, although I do like a raw egg on rice sukiyaki sidedish- style.

Given my choice, I'd rather be real hungry in Australia.

SUICIDE BY COW. I can see the tv investigations now.

Man, I'll bet when you opened those up and found those autographs, you did the poker face, walked up to pay all nonchalant and everything, and seriously congratulated yourself. That's what happens to me at least.

Aw, it'll pass. Besides it's all part of that colored m&m sweepstakes deal.

Have exxed brains and eggs from my awful offal, as SO calls it(calls it, but eats it). But they've actually been off list awhile now. I am like jsolomon in my situation-up till now we've been way more concerned with CWD from game. But I am afraid my view is like John Whiting, Varmint, Mayhaw Man, and others. If there's a chance of incubating for up to seven years, then who knows? I've always watched dodgy food. That won't change.

Not right!Not right! m&m's are kid food. I don't want sophisticated shoved down my throat. Give us a choice.

He's a tough nut to crack. I love tryska's Oz friend. Now there's a hungry person! Hogs eat collards very well, Pan. So it's kind of a wipeout, demolished, done deal. I also love fist's uncle's "aged like a fine pork rind".

I third it. Madhur rocks. I will look up Singh, too.

Ah, but now I do know SMEG. Thanks to you all. But then I'm the child who never asked what BMW stood for till I was like 15.

The apple of my eye. Peaches and cream complexion. Dollars to donuts.

Oh lordie, that is too funny. Seeing's how you're getting on with them so well, care to take in some of mine? At least introduce them to yours. They can swap recipes.

That is a vile heresy! I don't want any m&m's that look like medicine.

fifi, this place is great! I can't find them online,but I did get the other stuff: Niester's Restaurant & Deli (German) 4426 E Hwy 377, Granbury, Texas (817) 573 0211 They are closed on Mondays. They have the most enormous ham hocks I've ever seen (smoked), German groceries, German sausages and breads and pastries, and hot links!! I know it's in a weird place, but hey, if you are on your way to DFW, it's worth the stop. I gaurantee. And these are skin poppin' ear smokin' hot links.

Packed like sardines. Sitting in the chicken coop don't make you a hen.

The meals all look great-I must eat in Japan one day soon. Those restaurants look real fascinating. What is the exchange rate yen to dollar,Torakris? What is making this especially cool to me is that you are cooking for a little kids family, and helenjp is cooking for a bigger kids family.

Many of the best books are easily accessed at the the library. And many that are hard to find. The charity and secondhand are ab fab for oldies. I have found excellent books at Estate Sales (New York Times & New York Times American Heritage in almost new condition for 2$ each).

beans, thank someone your not my bartender!

Maybe this should be a different thread, but does anyone buy or check out older cook or cooking related books? 40's, 50's, 60's,70's,80's, what? Name your favorites!

Oh Gawd- I got a picture in my head of all the cows in Texas suddenly going "MOOO-th" and saying yep, fifi's been at it again!

The cream rises to the top. Pouring oil on troubled waters NOTE: Not Pasta waters.

I bet his oven works.

HE/SHE's so ugly they fed em bisquits with a slingshot. HE/SHE's so sorry they had to tie a porkchop around their neck so the dog would play with em.

That's the way the cookie crumbles.
