I've successfully used rice noodles in place of
linguine - the texture wouldn't be right for Italians,
but it's a better option for Asians and gluten-frees.
That sounds...odd. I've had good luck frying fresh soy noodles but
not with using them as Italian pasta.
It was not altogether successful but was at least
as good as most of the things I've had marketed
towards gluten intolerants.
Good pizza is heaven. Cheap junk is cardboard with red sauce and
grease.
Or pillow bread with rubber cheese and red caustic
solution.
You've had chain pizza? Or worse yet school cafeteria pizza?
The worst has been Little Caesar's. On occasion I've
gone to chains along with friends who have a hankering
for dubious pizza - had a buddy who really liked Pizza
Hut so went to one with her - not altogether bad, but
nowhere to visit barring extenuating circumstances -
such as trying to get a beer near Yellowknife airport.
Probably. When you have more staff than customers,
even the most careful vetting will mess up now and
again, once in a rare while catastrophically.
I can imagine. I don't want to, but I can imagine.
On the other hand, the duds don't tend to stick around
for very long. They wander down the tube, with each
successive stop wondering "What? This bozo worked at
La Caravelle?"
and why didn't he stay there and not come here?
The answer might be obvious.
free with where they aim their willies.
OTOH, it's gimp. Even I couldn't stand gimp.
... and basket weavers who sit and smile and
twiddle their thumbs ...
My mom actually did take basket weaving in grad school; she had to
get a Master's to teach Special Ed, and they were sort of cobbling
degree programs together back then. Including basket weaving.
It was said to be an academic staple among college
football players.
So there's this star football player at Enormous State
University (what happened to Tank McNamara, by the way?), and
he's failing remedial math, so the coach comes to plead his
case with the professor. At length the professor allows his
arm to be twisted and offers the star a special one-question
"final exam." So the question: "what's seven plus seven?"
Star screws up his eyes and says, "twel ... uh ... fourteen?"
Coach immediately jumps out of his chair and shouts, "Prof,
give him a second chance!"
Churchy Lafemme type. You I thought were more
the cherchez l'or type of person.
Cherchez le paycheck to be precise. I like keeping the lights
on,
the Internet up, eating, etc.
Well, I've always been able to accomplish those
things, sometimes just barely.
The make life more comfortable, for certain.
Only rarely have I been severely under water - once I had
to sell my science-fiction collection (this before I was
given the Shipps' leftovers). and once I tried to sell my
favorite viola bow, which this Reuning guy said was
unfashionably heavy, and I'd never get anything for it,
so I ended up not trying. But on the whole, I've never been
comfortable but generally not in danger.
If I did it with a bullet, I'd have to clean up the mess. With
food
poisoning they're generally off the premises and it's someone
else's
problem.
But knowing I caused food poisoning would make
me want to take that bullet. I really don't like
to be incompetent.
Me either, but I'm not fond of cleaning up blood or barf.
It might have been equally well fixed with
lots and lots of wine.
I'm not sure there's any fixing burnt chard, even with cream.
Perhaps that's because chard, like zucchini, starts
out broken.
Zucchini has little if anything to break.
But the larger ones would make nice targets to practice your aim with
the aforementioned gun.
I'd like to take a permanent break from zucchini.
