et tu

have you recovered from your celebrating my birthday?!?!?

pretty much

not yet?!?!?!

yes, yet.

What kind of merriment/observations/commemorations/celebrations did you partake in on that day?!?!?!

When I drove past Burger King, I waved. Maybe next year I'll use all five fingers. THen I went out dancing with McCain & Palin. Or McPalin, as I like to call them.

wow!!!That sounds neat!!!can I be invited next time?!?!

Consider yourself invited. To the Burger King thing. You can't came dancing, as McPalin don't like you. You bring the cake.

We dont want no peas and carrots or colourful veggies in our fried rice

This is scary to me, as I <shudder> agree with you.

How can the intuity shopper tell the real from the faux???

One can tell by reading the label. If it says "brewed" or some such it's prolly real. If it has 'caramel coloring' enaht, it's prolly not real.


thankseversomuchfooddood, for your time and attention in preparing this meaningful and thought-provoking ft2d.

Buenos afternoonos.

Oops, I guess it's still morning there too.

Buenos morningos.

have you recovered from your celebrating my birthday?!?!?

Are you kidding!!?? It's not a week yet.

not yet?!?!?!

That would be my birthday that I haven't receovered from yet, although since yours is only two days more, you can count it as not having recovered from yours too, if you want. The last time I was at a birthday party in Pgh, it was clear that it was gonna take more than a couple days to recover from . . .

What kind of merriment/observations/commemorations/celebrations did you partake in on that day?!?!?!

On your birthday, I went to a meeting where we discussed ways to get the campaign back to the issues instead of constant gossip about the Tina Fey lookalike. We admitted that McCain had shown real genius (real men of geeeeeeeeniuuuuuuuuuuuus...) in picking a VP candidate who would so dramtically skew everyone's interest away from reality and into entertainment.

wow!!!That sounds neat!!!can I be invited next time?!?!

You're in! I'll PM you the details.

Mebbe you can serve Chinese food at the soiree!!

It could happen!

True story! There used to be a really great one in Clairton about five minutes from SteelersFanSr's (may he rest in peace) house. It's not there anymore. Neither is Mossberg's. Still, you won't have any trouble finding a pierogie and other yummy comestibles if you look really hard for oh, maybe two or three minutes.

And all but one put peas and carrots in their fried rice to make it colourful.I'm all like "Hey Lee,the colour of food is brown.Ergo take out all nonbrown coloured food outta my fried rice,sabe?!!(that is chinese for enaht).

It's like beer -- the real stuff is brewed from scratch like real beer is. The fake stuff is mixed up from noxious chemicals as FoodDude points out.

Idnit just salt and water ennyway?

bon soir

have you recovered from your celebrating my birthday?!?!?

No. I am still celebrating. And if by celebrating you mean cooking, cleaning, diaper changing, picking up little girls at school and in general running around, then, no, I haven't stopped celebrating.

not yet?!?!?!

Hon, those are things I will be doing for a long-ass time.

What kind of merriment/observations/commemorations/celebrations did you partake in on that day?!?!?!

I went to chrurch. A big old conservative, stodgy, strict church. I loved every minute of it.

wow!!!That sounds neat!!!can I be invited next time?!?!

Sure, but you can't tell them you're Serbian. And they could give a rats ass about your hair.

Mebbe you can serve Chinese food at the soiree!!

Here in Mississippi we have this place on I-55 named Ding How. We like to call it Dog How. Get it?

We like chinese foods.Although we do have one small peeve re china food.We dont want no peas and carrots or colourful veggies in our fried rice.Pgh has almost as many chinese joints as Eyetalian.And all but one put peas and carrots in their fried rice to make it colourful.I'm all like "Hey Lee,the colour of food is brown.Ergo take out all nonbrown coloured food outta my fried rice,sabe?!!(that is chinese for enaht).

Dude, you will do freaking anything not to choke down a vegetable. Maybe you should get some broccoli that has been deep fried in chocolate sauce.

Any peeve we have is soy sauce.Didya know most soy sauce one sees in ones store aint real soy sauce?!?!?it is faux(that means it aint real in chinese) soy sauce!!It is made by mixing up noxious chemicals!!!How can the intuity shopper tell the real from the faux???

REAL soy sauce is fermented and brewed. The other stuff has crap in it like color and flavor.

Now, gimme my points.

True shoyu has been fermented. There is no need to add any caramel coloring, for example. So if you see any food coloring or added things like salt or caramel, it ain't the good stuff. Similar rule of thumb to buying good balsamic vinegar.

My intuity tells me that Christie possesses a far superior knowledge of food than the FoodDude.

These food q's are beneath her.

Thank you Toc!

It is all in what you grew up with. My mother was a french chef at several very good restaurants, including the Black Pearl in Newport RI, back in the day.

Having grown up in Hawai'i, we would distinguish between shoyu and tamari. I still have to stop myself from asking for shoyu and pausing to change it into asking for soy sauce.

Rice and 'soy sauce' mainland-style is borderline awful. Rice and shoyu, much better. It is also a lot less salty!

Maybe FoodDude gave me a softball since he liked his cat presents so much.

She knows food and she knows chemicals!

Double wheelhouse.

She knows food and she knows chemicals!

And when to not mix the two!

[AnnieCamaro]

They go together, Mr. Marley. Cooking is nothing more than the transformation of edible raw materials.

I read that on the internet, or maybe I saw it on television.

You are such a smart cookie!

That is why I sometimes laugh at chemically phobic people. Call something you use everyday by it's chemical name and some people freak!

Silly peoples.

Cut out the fancy French Talkin'. Yer gettin' Gomez Addams hot.

have you recovered from your celebrating my birthday?!?!?not yet?!?!?!

Well, there WAS an awful lot of hootin' & hollerin' goin' on. WE called it celebrating a Bills Victory, but you may call it what you want. A McRib by any other name, etc. etc.

What kind of merriment/observations/commemorations/celebrations did you partake in on that day?!?!?!

Oh, the usual. Doing handstands while balancing a bowl of Fritos on one foot and bean dip on the other, drinking out of funny looking jugs with "XXX" written on them, calling up people and asking if they had Prince William in a can (hey, after enough of that "XXX" stuff, YOU try and remember how it goes!), applying lipstick to a few pigs.......

wow!!!That sounds neat!!!can I be invited next time?!?!

Sure. Bring your own bean dip and lipstick.

Mebbe you can serve Chinese food at the soiree!!

Mebbe. But a lot of that stuff has veggies in it. I hear tell you avoid veggies like Bob Dylan avoids enunciation.

We like chinese foods.Although we do have one small peeve re china food.We dont want no peas and carrots or colourful veggies in our fried rice.Pgh has almost as many chinese joints as Eyetalian.And all but one put peas and carrots in their fried rice to make it colourful.I'm all like "Hey Lee,the colour of food is brown.Ergo take out all nonbrown coloured food outta my fried rice,sabe?!!(that is chinese for enaht).

I think it is actually Chinese for "Mr. Fussy Drawers".

Any peeve we have is soy sauce.Didya know most soy sauce one sees in ones store aint real soy sauce?!?!?it is faux(that means it aint real in chinese) soy sauce!!It is made by mixing up noxious chemicals!!!

You wanna talk noxious chemicals? You shoulda been here about 2 hours after the bean dip was unveiled.

How can the intuity shopper tell the real from the faux???

The real comes in fancy bottles. The faux come in the little packets, hundreds of which are thrown in each takeout order we get, along with the THOUSANDS of little packets of duck sauce (which, I think, is used to lubricate engines in eighteen-wheelers). The good news is, with our next order of Gen. Tso's Chicken, I will have every packet of fake soy sauce known to exist, thereby ensuring that all of you have REAL soy sauce. No need to thank me. I do it because I care. And because I really like Gen. Tso's Chicken.

I am afraid, however, that there is an endless supply of duck sauce, so I can't help you there.
