I hate sweet potato, and I especially hate those little ****ers that are disguised as white potato but really are sweet potato.

 

[raman]

Whoever named sweet potato was obviously unfamiliar with the concepts of both "sweet" and "potato".

Hey Portia, where's the Draft Game? I want to back up my status as 2012 grand champion (equal with like 6 other people).

Been too busy

The best tasting food in the world is properly made falafel, the way they make them in America. Deep fried falafel balls, small pita, opened up with all ingredients stuffed in the pocket. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

I'm glad you said you're a "chocolate addict". The term "chocoholic" annoys me greatly because, being that "alcoholics" are addicted to "alcohol", the substance would need to be called "chocohol" for the term to make any sense.

Old Jamaica Rum and Raisin.

The girl I am currently seeing is allergic to chocolate/cocoa. She goes into anaphylactic shock. It means no more chocolate if things progress. I feel kinda conflicted.

You need therapy.

She might pull allergic to beer next.

Best be done with her now.

Just on veggies... Squash is ******* disgusting.

Has to be lightly steamed or as it's rubbish - as with zucchini. Have not successfully stir-fried it which is an alternative for quite a few veggies. Unless you have a zen-like appreciation of very subtle flavours you probably need to flavour it, soy sauce isn't the worst lazy option. Cheap and nutritious.

Don't understand people capitalising cauliflower. And it's great, a mainstay of the Powerstufff household - we are now inducting our 11 month old granddaughter into eating it.

If I weren't already well and truly entrenched on a career path that'll likely see me spend half my adult life as an office shitkicker, I'd be a curator at a local sporting ground for sure. That's the kind of menial labour man was meant to do.

I'm not here to solicit, but there are options, a good planner and or Accountant can introduce some good strategies to get that tax back into your pocket. Strategies have been implements on salaries as low as $44,000 for tax savings

Are you still offering your services and donating a % of returns through here to the club?

Think that's a great thing to do myself.



I should really get onto my tax... been a little while.

Good, less likely to get fat.



Don't look at me like that, it's what everyone was thinking.

For those that don't like Broccoli try this and you can substitute Brussel Sprouts. Easy as.

Fry some chopped up bacon and onion in a bit of oil slowly till onion goes see-through and bacon is slightly cooked.
Transfer it to an oven dish and add Broccoli, a couple of garlic cloves with skin on, tiny bit of salt and a glass on any non sweet white wine you have.
Don't cover the dish and it only takes about half hour on medium heat. It is cooked when the wine has evaporated and the broccoli is soft-ish but not soggy. Once cooked throw the garlic cloves out, that's why you leave the skin on otherwise the garlic melts.

You can actually just add everything at once and put it in the oven, but then there is a chance that the bacon may be undercooked or by the time the bacon is cooked the broccoli can get soggy.

Another easy 15 minute Broccoli recipe. This time a pasta.

Boil a large pot of water with a tiny bit of salt (small amount) and add chopped up broccoli once it starts boiling. Let it go for 5 minutes and add pasta.
Drain when pasta is still hard-ish, add a small blob of butter (not margarine) and cheese, preferably Grana or similar.
The Broccoli should have melted and you end up with a yummy green-ish pasta.

Good on its own and even better with a porterhouse steak.

Warning: Use less salt in the water than when you cook pasta on its own as the Broccoli absorbs it.
