@Veg Mel: Ouch. Sorry to hear. Have you asked her to specify what the crap she means by this? If it's "the poo poo I eat in Murray Hill", then fair enough. Every restaurant sucks. All of them. If it's "I hate spices, and anything delicious," it's time to sever. And then come over. And I'll cook you all the Indian food. Damnit. >:|

I had an Environmental Sciences Prof who had worked on a breakdown of inferred "commercial extinction" of various New England fisheries by the arc of their prices, exclusion, replacement by other species, and inferring the regeneration of the fisheries by their re-inclusion on high end restaurant menus for the 1800's and early 1900's. Really fascinating study. Not to mention the fun of figuring out what dish had what in it.

I keep on seesawing in my behind-the-internet intrepretation of mr. wiggles between like 'ok he's 40-50, married, proper, has kids and a decent house somewhere' and like 'ok he's single, 30-35, not at all proper, doesn't have kids or a decent house somewhere (but probably drinks a lot of beer)'. sometimes I feel like I have gws totally figured out, but sometimes not so much. we should all probably have dinner somewhere someday. maybe. probably not.

Pretty sure you've been around GWS longer than I have been, but IIRC, Wiggles has a Wi-Fi connection from the Silver Rush days of Nevada. He's some sort of bluegrass Rasta who's divorced. He didn't eat meat, but now does. And hates Costco and Smithfield. At least that's how I recall it.

Lumber floaters in Norway often had to specify by their work contracts that they couldn't be fed salmon more than five or six times a week. Wild salmon. Speaking of working man's food.

I would have to imagine that Wiggles back yard is rather impressive. It's not nearly as nice as Kiteless's garden, but I do eat out there a lot. Also, check out my improvised sideboard, very classy.

I am not vegetarian, nor do I pretend to be: I sometimes even eat meat and fish in her company (but consciously - so hardly ever chicken, unless I know where it is from, or beef - mostly it'll be fish of some kind, preferably sustainable, or duck or lamb). I just don't cook meat at home. I don't think she'd even mind if I did, provided that it was good meat that had been properly raised, but I am not going to cook a meal that she can't eat. That does mean that there is no fun in sneaking out for meaty treats though... Squashy Nipples posted:I would have to imagine that Wiggles back yard is rather impressive. His back door is even more impressive, from what I've heard.

I feel like bragging. I was helping my inlaws make about 500 chinese dumplings one afteroon. I was the best dumpling maker. These were all restaurant owning folk. One lady had never made wrappers from scratch, they'd always used store bought wonton wrappers. The last time I made dumplings was when I was 8 years old watching my grandmother. She worked the rolling pin with one hand while turning the wrapper with the other. I even remembered you're supposed to roll the wrappers so that the middle is slightly thicker than the outside edge so the dumplings don't get too doughy where the edges are crimped together. I made my ancestors proud. Hooray.

I have had it explained to me but it's no fun. What is fun is pointing out the horrible deprivations suffered by the Chinese gymnast the HR drone picked to adorn this months' homegrown motivational posters. Or gluing googly-eyes to the smiley faces on the posters telling us that it's "all about you!  "therattle posted:Hey, pr0k! Long time no see. 'lo!

Holy crap, guys! I'm not off the grid anymore! I have an account with a financial institution!
