  1. I agree with this sentiment....I'm sure this will be seen as a sign of humiliation Albania under the communists (it was also a majority muslim country) Interesting, well played. I didn't know that
  2. And have you ever seen any Muslim EVER support the idea of his beard being forcibly shaved? They will see this as an insult and an attack on there faith...if fact I cant recall where else in the world this has happened ?
  3. Its not so much Clinton I like but she wants to continue the fundamental policies of Obama which are about ensuring a more equitable society and a stronger more significant middle class. Also she isn't planning anything radical that may impact the USA economy, like Sanders and his dislike of big business and the financial sector And that doesn't mean she plans to target people like you ....your commitment to the overall economy and people like you are the foundation of what the USA is built on and despite right wing rhetoric this will never change She is like american Merkel xD No I respect Merkel more
  4. What a bizarre thing to do, this is only going to increase animosity from the Muslim community in Tajikistan Tajikistan is a muslim country you doofus Yes I know but if you read the article it says the government is secular ....I suppose I meant to say " this will increase Muslim extremism " But the whole country looks very dysfunctional on various levels Maybe they are trying to fix that dysfunction? Mind you shaving beards is just stupid but trying to get womens back to social life and push their husbands to disband shackles of oppression doesnt sound that bad. Still the way is wrong, nothing forced ever worked Well if they really wanted to fix that dysfunction then maybe the president could resign as he has been in power since 1994....and presidents for life don't work. So I dont have much time for any country that isn't prepared to fix fundamentals

  6. It's interesting because I was talking with a few friends about this earlier and most of them, who are also of the same mindset as I am, like that he doesn't go negative and more or less keeps it above board but there were a few others who thought he was weak or not serious because he doesn't go on the attack. Granted those friends don't support him at all and generally vote for the other major party. Those who thought it was a positive didn't think that it was enough to seriously sway their votes but those who thought it was a negative thought of it as a serious flaw. I can't say if it follows a larger pattern or not but among the ~8 of us that's how it shook out I have to admit I am very concerned with Sanders popularity...he does threaten a Clinton presidency

  8. Do you watch any cooking channels like the Food Network and do you have a favorite celebrity chef ? My favorite celebrity chefs are Anthony Boudaine, I recommend his book Kitchen Confidential, and Nigel Slater who is a UK chef ...he is totally decadent with how he cooks, I love it
  9. today is day 2 of our most recent pot roast crafting. for liquified gelatin to be fully reabsorbed into the meat, the roast should be allowed to sit in cooking juices overnight... in fridge 'course and only after straining juices and skimming CONSIDERABLE fat. so, today we need reheat meat, create gravy, and roast vegetables... and perhaps steam something green just for show. hardest part o' pot roast is actual doing overnight reabsorption. smells so darn good that we wanna eat after initial cooking is finished. need resist urge to eat on day 1 is a special kinda torment. HA! Good Fun! Gromnir you have a lot a knowledge and insight around cooking and gastronomy it seems I love cooking, I find it therapeutic but I really enjoy cooking a nice dinner for friends and family Who taught you about cooking or are you self-taught?
  10. Thanks for clarifying KP....sometimes I don't get some of the political commentary or views I read
  11. Yeah, thats no surprise it was cancelled
  12. Is the point of this article supporting Trump or is it against him?
  13. This is a good post, for ages I have been wondering why Heroes Reborn was really grabbing me...but I still watched I find in entertaining but yes now that you mention it there are too many disparate groups for you care about too much
  14. That must have been funny What did your wife say it was? I have posted this before but check out this relatively common pizza phenomenon in SA where you can chose your own ingredients ...you will see you can put sweets on Pizza and apparently people do order it http://www.andiccio24.co.za/a24-menu.html
  15. There really isn't any wrong way to make a pizza.1 1Unless you make it with pineapple, naturally.
  16. Anchovies are delicious on Pizza but obviously you just need to chose your other ingredients a little prudently as its a strong taste Leferd you must add Capers to that Pizza you like, it goes well with Anchovies
  17. Yes it works, try Feta, Bacon and Spinach...its yummy Edit : One of the pizza places I go to calls this the " Popeye Pizza "
  18. what? ... what? pineapple is a pizza staple? as popular as pepperoni? not in the usa it ain't. hell, not even in hawaii. where, save other than in small portions o' california, is pineapple a pizza staple? we don't particular like pepperoni, but is no way we would ever suggest that pineapple is "about as popular as pepperoni" when speaking o' pizza toppings. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-most-popular-pizza-toppings-chart-2013-10 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/12/popular-pizza-toppings_n_4261085.html HA! Good Fun! Hawaiian Pizza is very common in South Africa, and its normally Ham and Pineapple Basically every single Pizza place has it on its menu I dunno, for me pretty much tomato, pepper and olives are about the only fruits that I can take on pizza, and culinarily they usually aren't treated as fruits. Fruits on pizza like pineapple just don't taste right to me, too sweet and wrong textured. Its interesting how we have totally different tastes for some Pizza ingredients yet we agree that others are perfectly suitable I think in South Africa we don't really have a traditional Pizza culture so we just put anything we want on it
  19. Yes I normally order 2-3 different Cheeses if I order what we call a " gourmet Pizza " In South Africa this Pizza place sells what is known as gourmet Pizza http://www.colcacchio.co.za/
  20. I have always felt I was a member of the elite class...your post confirms it

  22. Okay you win this one....clearly you really like sausage to ask for 5 toppings of it...I won't try to sway you anymore
  23. Sausage is always good...but you can enhance the taste of sausage by finding other complimentary ingredients
  24. Wowzers dude no way, some fruits absolutely work on Pizza like Avo, Pineapple or Banana. Those just add to the overall taste experience
  25. I started watching Billions, its got several prominent actors including the lead actor from Life, Damian Lewis The show is really good and focuses on the illegal practices that the financial sector in the USA is sometimes involved in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billions_(TV_series)
