Guard Dog Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Funny thing happened at work today. We were talking about the Apollo Moon landings and the hazards of it. One of my colleagues was talking about the Van Allen belts only he called he called it the Van Halen belts. Nobody caught it but me. I almost choked on my coffee. I excused myself and walked away singing "Panama". About a minute later he realized what I was doing and busted out laughing. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
ShadySands Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 We've been making pizzas on the grill for the last couple of nights. My wife's favorite is white pizza with thick slices of fresh mozzarella and a smattering of goat cheese, figs, black garlic, caramelized onion, and drizzled with balsamic vingeger (which I call ball-slamic and it cracks me up to no end). It smells pretty good but I've not dared to try it as I've not been able to eat much solid food for the past couple of weeks. 1 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Keyrock Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 I'm home for a few days and enjoying the surprisingly mild weather.

That pizza sounds delicious, you just need to add some meat to enhance its flavor..maybe bacon and or prosciutto?

Azdeus Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Recieved my paycheck. Got paid for 4.5h out of 10h overtime I worked.

Nepenthe Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 So, yes. I was asked about Necromunda in the old thread but the lock beat me. I, indeed, play with Escher as my main gang. I’m also the campaign arbitrator, so I have genestealers, squat venators and soon will have enforcers I use occasionally in that role. Two weeks from holidays, looking forward to a break.

BruceVC Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 I went for drinks with a lady friend to celebrate the end of a good week at work and she suggested we go to this new Korean restaurant , it was a really great dining experience because the theme of the restaurant is everything you order comes in relatively small portions but you cook everything yourself on a personal grill in the middle of the table. Also great variety of unusual good, I ordered Zebra and Wildebeest as part of meals http://galbi.co.za/ "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

But what nice people., we really connected and it was not just the copious alcohol. The guy works in spacial planning and once he explained why its relevant in the Netherlands it made such sense, what an interesting career His girlfriend is a journalist and came from a village that has only 200 people, she told me she use to cycle 20 km each day to school She also had the most stunning blue eyes. One of the topics we discussed was " what is considered national food " in our countries. They claimed Netherlands doesnt have a real local food, they mentioned some sort of meatballs...is this true from what you know? What would be considered Dutch authentic food ?

Blarghagh Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 I assume they are referring to "Bitterballen", which is a fried ball of breadcrumb filled with meat ragout. They're delicious. Other than that, a very Dutch thing to do is put chocolate sprinkles on bread and we have, of course, "Stroopwafels". For traditional meal food, we do this thing where we take boiled potatoes and a vegetable (such as kale or sauerkraut), add some tiny bits of bacon and/or ham and then SMASH THE ****ING **** OUT OF IT until it's a big mush. I hate it. It is usually served with smoked sausage. 1 1

Guard Dog Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I spent the lat four days camping, swimming and fishing with the pups on some real estate I bought near Realfoot Slough and Indian Creek in north TN. No phone, no internet, no music and no news. Turned it on for the first time today and wish I hadn't. Mass shooting at a fair in CA, the President is really insulting an entire US city, and the Rays lost three out of four. If I ver disappear from these boards don't worry about me...
