  1. fine. blame me. Be that way. soup. I liked Bookbinders canned soups, they were yummy.
  2. but you said blizzard. and besides, weren't we talking soup?
  3. Wow, what kind of kids were they? They only recognized him for 20 minutes. What happened, did they suddenly forget who he was? No, I suddenly forgot how to write a proper sentence in english. Or is that the same thing?
  4. did you say "blizzard"? what's your favorite flavor?
  5. That's a good choice. I'm a Peanut Buster Parfait man, myself. When the lovely Mrs Clothier was pregnant with #1, she got a craving for unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon pop-tarts. Did you know if you ask the people at Kellogs nicely, they will sell you a case?
  6. I like canned soup. Almost any flavor. The only one I don't like is tomato. I ate it once when I was sick as a kid, and, well, bad things happened. Nothing is worse then the feeling of tomato soup coming out your nose. Anyway, it is what it is. And I like canned soup. I like it even better when our friends from the UK call it "tinned". Progresso. Campbells. Yum.
  7. I was on a plane once with Bobby Flay, and he was the nicest guy in the world. He talked food with some kids who recognized him for about 20 min, and anybody who takes the time to talk with the kids is ok.
  8. As a former sales rep (although not for food products) let me say what my mom said to me: You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Yep, he's a jerk. Yep, he said the wrong thing. But, he can get you what you want, perhaps at a price the chef will go for. Suck it up, and ask him if he can get it for you. You might be suprised what else he has access to that you might like/want/need. The Defense rests.

    Pop or Soda

    when I was a kid, it didn't matter what you called it, since my mom never let you drink it or order it. It was all milk and juice at our house. Nope, no kool-aid either.
  10. cool. buyer beware, as always! and it's the internet, right? Everything on the internet is fact, right?
  11. actually, no. I have plenty of clients who are lawyers, and plenty of them are struggling to make it happen. Of course, out of my top 10, half are lawyers, so make of that what you will.
  12. oh yeah, and don't mess with canada, my man. Here in detroit, we love our neighbors to the south. even if they don't know how to drive.
  13. thanks. even a blind squirrel finds a nut occaisionally.

    hey look, the fat guy who never excersises is going to quibble. there's no such thing as "free calories".
  17. don't you think if there were any unsatisfied customers there, you might not see their posts?
  18. good call on crossing at Buffalo. The crossings are a little slower here in Michigan. It'll take you longer to get through customs in Port Huron. Takes even longer in Windsor, for what that's worth. As long as you are in Canada, you should buy some beer. Labatts sold in in Canada tastes about 12 times better than the stuff they import for us to drink here.
  19. hey Tydel, where are you going to school? and, to cut to the chase, are you more interested in getting a good grade (which means you need to write what your prof already thinks and wants to hear) or are you really interested in the topic? sorry to be so cynical, but i worked in higher ed for perhaps too long.

    like I said, I'd rather sit then ride, but the current school of thought (and it could change in 5 minutes or so) is that you increase your ability to re-build your muscles if you eat protein with in a certain time frame of finishing your excersise. And telling you that, I'm out of knowledge. My knowledge is 42 miles long, but only 1/4 thick.
  21. this won't add anything to the total, but it's an interesting story (i know, you'll be the judge of that). We were visiting my in-laws, and got hungry, run to the store, make do with what they have, pot-and-pan-wise, and I need to check a recipe for I think it was cream puffs (with ice cream and Sanders Hot fudge). I ask my mother in law if she has a copy of "Joy". Nope. Well, say I , what do you have in the way of cookbooks? "I don't have any" Excuse me, says I. "I don't have any" After my wife revives me, I call my mom, get the facts, and we finish dinner. Next time a gift giving holiday comes around, we buy my mom-in-law "Joy". What does she do? Takes it back and exchanges it for a bunch of books with Fabio on the cover.
  22. no, you're not, and I just rememebered a trick I learned from a friend on another site. You can line the bottom and sides of the weber with pieces of a broken pizza stone ( they break when you drop them, even if you drop them on accident, they still break). It does a great job of keeping the heat in and constant, and if you are cooking someting over high heat, it has that tandori kind of effect that you might be looking for.

    Although I'm sloth-like by nature, my brother the former pro rider (Team Saturn), would say you are nuts with a diet like that. The idea of eating chilies, or anything spicy post-ride is asking for trouble later on. He's also say you need to mix in some protein within 45 minutes or so of finishing your ride. As for me, well, I've been lucky ( ? ) enough to be inlcuded on some post ride food gorges that he's had, and frankly, I like what you are cooking better than what he has.
