AgentBirdnest: I'd like to share some advice from the band 311 - "You've got to trust your instinct, and let go of regret."
Lucky for me, my wallet is empty, so I don't have to worry about it :-)

I'm doing alright. My physician made some time to see me yesterday, and made sure I was okay. She even wrote me a new prescription for more of my medication, so I won't run out this month :-)

How are you?
That's good news :))) I'm glad to read you're fine today, and that you've found a solution for your prescription.
I'm fine too, thank you !!! I'm on holidays in 5 minutes :D

EndreWhiteMane: Agree on the chickpeas, gross little things. Most beans I love, both green and dried. My worst is olives, always taste like something that's spoiled to me. ;)
avatar
j0ekerr: green beans are fine, stir-fried with bacon they are a treat. It's the dry white ones I can't stand.

Olives, depends. The gordal variety, the larger pruple ones are way too sour, I'm not a fan, the smaller bright green ones, manzanilla, are quite fine though, a tasty pickle.

I also enjoy anchovies.
Now you hit my weak spot, I hate anchovies SO MUCH I won't even eat a pizza that had them and I carefully picked them off. This is the only true 'gags me' food that I can think of other than sardines. :/
Edit: No, I'm not much of a fish eater other than cod and other mild whitefish.

FoxySage: My parents dog loves bananas and expect you to share it with him.
Not quite sure how well a dog's digestive system can deal with all the sugar in a banana.

*goes to check*

Well, apparently they can, but a whole banana is enough to give a large dog a sugar rush. And dogs deal with sugar rushes rather poorly.

Hmmm sardines, a staple summer food, roasted over an open flame, or is that grilled? Whatever may be called it's a meal fit for Gods. But do it outside or the smell will fill the whole house. Hell the whole street will smell them.

Healthy as well. Once upon a time they used to be a death by cholesterol kind of food. back in the days when doctors advertised cigarrettes. Nowadays they're filled with the good kind of cholesterol, the kind that lowers the amount of the bad one.

I'm with you on this one. Anchovies aren't food.

He isn't given a whole banana though. :P Just the very end piece.

I'm with you on the fact anchovies shouldn't be on pizza. I could eat it on a piece of rye bread though with scrambled egg and bacon on the side.

That's good, appparently half a banana is more than enough (can even be too much) for a big dog, and half that for a smaller one.

I love anchovies on aglio & olio pasta, I used to enjoy anchovies on my pizza too, but in recent years, the oven cooking makes them too salty for my pallate.
avatar
hummer010: Those particular wires are good - they're the ones that bring power to my house :) I don't normally notice them, but right now they are very visible because of the frost.

The weight of the frost has been wreaking havoc with the power lines. In the last week we've had at least a half dozen power outages, one of them for about 8 hours. My wireless internet has also been less than reliable.
avatar
EndreWhiteMane: Wow, we have ice pull down power lines but this is the first time I've heard of frost doing it. You Canadians have all the fun. ;)
I live in a climate which makes antifreeze utterly useless, but the AC a freaking necessity.

Seriously, every summer I want to move inside the fridge and live there.

My wife enjoys anchovies, but also hates how they taste when they are baked into a pizza. A possible solution is to ask for the anchovies to be added after the pizza is cooked, or to ask for them on the side and apply them yourself. She finds this to be a good way to enjoy anchovies on pizza again.

Happy birthday Little Hummer!!

Sorry, a bit late ;-)

Have a good Christmas, too!

I like all the foods people have mentioned in the last few pages, but I've got also the palate of a Great White shark, perhaps nature's only living dustbin, so you'd hardly call me discerning in my food tastes.

Hope everyone's having a good day. My Christmas shopping is almost done, but there's that mountain of food to buy yet - all that stuff nobody else will eat, plus a lot they will ;-)

The weather's pretty average here; sunny with a slight nip in the air. One thing I can't stand is sunshine at Christmas, it just doesn't feel right. Hopefully there'll be rain/fog/sleet/snow/frogs/Labrador puppies/circus midgets/anything interesting and not sun. But I've a feeling we're heading for another bright warm one like last year. No problem - Christmas is in the heart and mind as much as anywhere, and I'm ready to go.

Good thing about your meds, Agent. Hope they're making a difference ;-)

And LaPtiteBete is on holiday!!!!!!!!! Woo-hoo, fun time has begun!!!!

I'm not overwhelmed, by the way, by the current sale, which makes it a definite money-saver - so maybe I should be pleased with it...

Keep having a good day, people ;-)

I live in a climate where we go from 30C in the summer to -40C in the winter. I don't tolerate heat very well, so luckily we don't have to many days as hot as 30C. I don't think anyone tolerates -40C to well, but they aren't too common either. Our common winter range is -10 to -20 and our common summer range is 15 to 25.

The coldest temperature I have ever seen is -50C. My car wouldn't start.

Is 30C the highest the thermometer rises? If so that's a bit chilly.

I have yet to experience a july during which the thermometer doesn't reach 45C at least once per day.

On the other hand, I practically never see frost. It's usually gone after 30 minutes of sun, if there was any at all. So I can't even imagine what -40 feels like.

Doesn't alcohol freeze at -50?

We can get temperatures above 30C, but it's pretty rare. I don't ever really remember anything above 35C. Pretty much anything below -30 is just damn cold.

Hey Stilton.

Yeah, we've done all our food shopping this week, and the presents (what we were getting this year) have all been sorted too.

I do like a bit of snow at Christmas, but as we are working until the 23rd, if it could hold off until then that would be great.

That's a chilling thought (pun intended)

I'd enjoy the warmer winters but 45C for more than a day or two would kill me dead. hummer010's summers are similar to mine but our winters seldom get as cold.
