With regards to the dangling stuff, it leaves me limp.

Edit: I may mean limb, but I cannot hear the difference between the two!

Does it help to know that the last consonant of each is the same lip movement, but one is voiced and one is not? "Limp" ends with the sound of the lips moving apart, "limb" ends with that sound plus your actual voice. If I had bothered to actually learn IPA I could probably explain this better.

Actually "limb" ends with the bilabial nasal. The "b" is silent just as it is in "lamb." "Limp" ends with an aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive.

Yes - I can imagine that when you're limb you have to place your nose against both labia for some time to avoid leaving her frustrated.

Here is a fun exercise: Emphasize each word differently in this sentence to change the meaning:

"I didn't say he stole the money."
"I didn't say he stole the money."
"I didn't say he stole the money."
"I didn't say he stole the money."
"I didn't say he stole the money."
"I didn't say he stole the money."
"I didn't say he stole the money."

Each emphasis completely changes the meaning of the sentence.

Pragmatics is fun. Now try doing the same thing in Mandarin, without the aid of pitch accents. :suicide: (Of course it's possible - anything that can be conveyed in one language can be translated into another, with a bit of hammerwork and some industrial lube).

Lemon or lime tart using a curd. Why no custard? (it'll help with answers; making a curd might be too similar).

ABunch7587's little bitch
Making a curd is far quicker and easier than a custard. Instead of waiting by a water bath, you can combine all ingredients, put it over medium heat, and stir it, making sure you get the bottom so it doesn't burn. As soon as you see a bubble come up like it's going to boil, strain it and it's done. If you want it smoother, wait til that point to add the butter in, instead of combining it at first, then strain it. If you want it smoother still, you can let it cool down just a smidge (still steaming) and mount it with the butter, and then strain it.

I love this forum. I saw 90 posts since last read, skimmed the first few and thought, 'Ah, that explains it, they're talking about titties and sex'. But no, it was dangling participles and bilabials plosives.

This thread is like a box of chocolates, etc etc.

Out of pure helpfulness I googled "egg yolk desserts" and here's one of the first recipes I got: http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1813,155176-228198,00.html

edit: But for a serious answer, how about some sort of dessert bread with an eggy glaze? Does that feature eggs enough to count?

You cannot keep it. That is profiting from misfortune. Found money has to be used charitably, it cannot be kept. If you keep it, it becomes wallet poison, spoiling any money it contacts. If you use it charitably, it goes out and finds other money that has nothing to do, and sends it back to you wallet.

Dear LJ,

Was at a gay wedding last night. Both the men are actors, so they had a showtunes thing going. Ugh. Showtunes. However, the festivities were truly a celebration of life and love. It was a wonderful thing, and I had a fantastic time. We've got another 4 weddings to go to this year. Here's hoping I don't go broke trying to get gifts for all of those people.

I didn't watch all 20 minutes of that video, but ever since Mark Bittman switched to advocacy, he's become intolerable. I even agree with him about a lot of things, but all of his proposed solutions are kludgy, heavy-handed policies that are often pretty offensive. For example, his column arguing that people only be allowed to buy healthy food with food stamps.

His hair is hilarious. He's growing like a champ; I wish he'd stop, actually, as his babiness is so drat cute. We are just starting him on baby-led weaning. Watching him stuff food into his mouth is adorable.
