  1. I think double click is a function of the skin. Roll down to the left, at the bottom, and choose anything other than CLUB. This seems to work for me on generously proportioned or IE, no double click on the back button.

     

    That is funny right there. I typed F_F, and got 'generously proportioned'. Of course, I meant F_F = FireFox. Not you, Fudgeon Pisher, you generously proportioned.

  2. Brian, lookin right some jaisus fine right dere. Is your middle name Alfred?

     

    I recommend some baby powder for your parts later, see if the Missus can help with the application. You will have to be strong during this.

  3. Brian, that is a basic and delicious recipe for noodles, with many great variations.

     

    Consider this: use pesto instead of curry, oregano instead of hoisin, and red wine instead of fish or soy sauce. Add some slivered sundried tomatoes for a slap of flavour. Substitute linguine for the rice noodles, and lose the rooster sauce. Keep the canned tomatoes, evoo and garlic, onions, peppers and mushrooms, but do the same process. Adjust salt and pepper (please grind it fresh).

     

    Add a grating of stinky cheese on top, like parmigiano reggiano, crotonese or piave, and you have another fabulous meal, this one with a more continental appeal. Serve with olives, and a fresh crusty bread. Some chianti goes nice with this one.

     

    For all of my cooking that uses any kind of meat, I always try to flour and fry in evoo (I had to google that, Brian, impressed) because that is how you add meat flavour to your sauce.

     

    As for cooking being woman's work, I would be about 25 lbs lighter if I really believed that. Gentle guidance to SWMBO will continue, as required. *Shhhhhhhhhhh.* I have always enjoyed being able to look after this here self.

     

    I think it is amazing that so many cultures do the same food: ravioli, perogies and potstickers for e.g.

  4. Are the promises made and action tasks, like, done, er wha'? There are some folks that claimed to need work on their alarms, and inquiring minds need to know that the stuff has been done. I know that I have replaced and tested 3 smoke alarms since Christmas, and they all check out fine. CO detectors - we have one near the furnace and one on the bedroom floor- have also been thrown out and replaced.

     

    Remember the part about me being the idiot. Anyone is welcome for their turn next. This is one of the jobs you will never be thanked for doing. Just imagine the downside on the alternative.

     

    If you don't do this important maintenance, Lew and the Firefighter crew will be stopping by, and they might speak sharply. I can deal with the muddy boots, but it's the mustaches and great big axes that are really scary, let me tell you.
