Gorth Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 1 hour ago, BruceVC said: Absolutely, Duck l'Orange and similar dishes are delicious I always love to find how certain ingredients compliment a main meal like orange and duck But you must have lots of excellent Chinese restaurants where you live in Oz? I assume you have tried Peking Duck ? I've tried it a few times, but to be honest, as nice as crispy duck skin is, I prefer it with a bit more duck meat on it edit: in years past, I usually had Chinese food together with a Tawanese friend of mine when either living in or visiting Melbourne. He knew the decent places and often recommended what he thought looked nice. Not so much duck as beef and noodle combos with various sauces and seasonings. edit2: ...and dumplings, lots of dumplings! 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

CopingMarlinsFan Posted Thursday at 12:53 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:53 AM Found my great uncle's LARPing coat of arms.

Bartimaeus Posted Thursday at 01:35 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:35 PM (edited) Unrelatedly, a fire started inside former Green Bay Packers player Randall Cobb's house Tuesday night after his Tesla charger spontaneously ignited while they were sleeping, and the couple of pictures they posted makes it look like a bomb went off in their garage. From what I gather, firefighters were able to put the fire out before it burned down his whole house. Everyone got out of the house without injury, including the dog: may you be so lucky, ShadySands.

For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Azdeus Posted Thursday at 01:51 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:51 PM Something like that would be quite the hazard where I am. I live on the end of the transmission line, and there are few houses around me. A lightning strike into a power line would likely set the charger if not the vehicle on fire. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

ShadySands Posted yesterday at 03:33 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:33 AM Ford Mustang was my very first car so I really wanted it to complete the loop. It's in the lead for our next car as I don't think we need two cars at the moment because we both work from home.
