Don't say things like that. It just makes me get all devious and think about PMing a bunch of people so we can all play a joke on you about some pic that we all think is amazing. Maybe a set photo from the filming of Serenity 2 :-P

Actually in chili cook offs I've seen on TV beans weren't allowed. So I too like to think that its the best, purest form of chili. I can't be bothered to wiki the history of it on this computer because it would probably be less time consuming to actualy go to Mexico and ask the oldest person there (stupid slow work network).

I don't actually have a recipe, but I know its out there. I will let you guys know when I do and there may be pictures of the finished product.

Avery sweety I'll send you a recipe if that helps

Also FLT - hot wings recipe

Bake 1 pound chicken wings at 350 degrees until done. Then in large frying pan place about 1/4 cup oil and heat til shimmering. Fry wings on both sides until golden brown. In large bowl mix 1/2 stick butter melted and about 3 tbs hot sauce ( Tobasco if you like lower levels of heat, but you can work up from there) whisk and add 1 tsp lemon juice and 1 tbs garlic powder whisk again and dump the wings in the bowl and toss until coated:) You can double or triple this recipe as you need and add mroe hot sauce if you like. To take it down a notch just buy chipotle peppers in adobo and put only the adobo sauce in with the butter:)

LOl Avery it's the class they force everyone into having become tired of having to explain over and over again how to use the dewey decimal system and how to locate library materials.

Ok a Navy friendly Bao recipe... this should be fun. ( do they have tinned roll dough and such in the UK?)

Easy Bao
3/4 pound mince or ground meat ( best if it's pork, but beef is ok too)
1 tbs grated fresh ginger
2 tbs soy sauce
3 tbs cooking oil
3 tbs hoisin sauce
1 tbs garlic paste
2 tbs salt
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup water chestnuts chopped
1/2 cup shredded cabbage
Put everything in a frying pan and stir it around until the meat is brown and everything else is kind of wilted and there's hardly any liquid ( actually if it looks like there's no liquid that's better)Just put it on medium heat and keep stirring til the liquid cooks off

4 cans roll dough ( like Pilsbury crescent rolls in teh can) open and place the triangles together to form squares then roll and press them at the seam to make sure it holds. Put about 3 tbs of filling in center of square and then pull all the edges together and kind of gather it up so it looks like a little sack with a bunch at the top.Place each sack on a non stick or greased cookie sheet and when you have all the little sacks on the sheet place in oven on middle rack. On bottom rack place baking dish filled with water. Bake 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

@avery: I hate those types of classes. I'm taking software development, I learn how to write computer programs now, and one of my required classes this year was Information Technology 1. No joke, the first exam in that class they showed us a picture of a computer and we had to pinpoint the mouse, keyboard etc.

And how hard can a library be to use? I dont know the various library systems... but if you go to the correct area and have a quick scan of the books it's not hard to work out what order they go in and where your book will be found.

Also I'm so sorry poor baby John is having the teething. You guys have much more reason to complain than I do 'bout not getting sleep. I'm just being a big zombie baby, lol.

Mmmm also to beanless chili. The hubby thinks I'm crazy when he makes it and I sit there and push the beans out. I don't like beans, dammit!

Back from the docs and they changed the hubby's prescription from one med that made him feel like he was having a heart attack to three meds, one of which was $86. Screw that! Doc didn't even know if it would do him any good. Just one of those, "take it and hopefully you will get better and maybe your head won't explode", kinda deals. Pfft! This just makes me hate docs even more.

So I'm at the gym waiting for my tanning bed (I decided to be the only self proclaimed geek that goes tanning).

This girl is in there for 15 minutes. I didn't even know you could tan for 15 minutes w/o setting yourself on fire.

Then she walks by me and give me ... a look. One of those looks that just pisses you off.

I go in and she didn't wipe it down. Her sweaty lotion-y imprints were still on the bed.

So to the girl that gave me a dirty look after your leather face session and didn't bother wiping the bed down: You are fat and ugly. A tan isn't going to help you.

Hey MSA you're inevitably right, but according to my dear old folk's take on pizza history, although the first popular COMMERCIALLY (sorry it's in bold I couldn't do italics) known pizzas were the ones made in Naples with the tomatoes (not sauce originally) and the cheese and the bazil and the flipping in the air to stretch the dough. The flat bread with extras type, the ORIGINAL Pizza was something Sicilian peasants had adapted from the Arab versions (Pide's) many years earlier, they just didn't have a need to claim it as their own innovation unlike the bignoting Neapolitans... Italian regional rivalry can be humorous at times.
I like both types of Pizza, I just don't like too much cheese and only a thin schmeer of sauce.
Has anyone ever had Panzerotti? they are essentially a deep fried pizza turnover...utterly heavenly!

Hey Averyfinecompanion...I hear your rant. I was at a sci fi con that James Marsters was guesting at in Sydney years ago. I was there with my good friend, and had the pleasure of meeting many like minded yet diverse people. Unfortunately there was a group of 3 Spike groupies who spent the whole day bad mouthing everyone else and giving out many of the "looks" you described.
I had done a good job of behaving myself at my friend's request (ie refraining from sicking it to the bitch-face-possie). but when I went to the bathroom, they were there reapplying their makeup. The meanest one was hurrumphing about all the freaks, geeks and nerds etc at the con and how awful it was to be around them. So I put my face close to hers and said "no amount of makeup you trowel onto your face is going to hide how truly ugly you are". she gaped and I left. later we heard one of the "mean girls" had come out of the bathroom crying. my friend was like "you did that didn't you?" "yup and I know kharma will kick my ass but it will be worth it".

Aaaaaaaw MsA you shouldn't have posted that Bao recipe (guess what the bf is getting for dinner sometime this week? XD). It makes me hungry and gives me the strong urge to cook.

Sucks even more when you call the cable company and they can't fix it -_- even after you've been on the phone with them for an hour. I'm mildly annoyed because I like being able to check my email (can't get to my personal email from work), but it's more frustrating because the boyfriend needed to be online in order to do his homework, and couldn't do it.[/minirant] Anyone have a dedicated sourcebox I could use? lol.

I'd have to stop. Even if it was stone dead. If I clipped it and I could see it was running on its way little more than shocked then id move on again it'll make its way home and they can deal with minor scrapes, but if it was dead or seriously injured id take it to a vet/the owner.

I remember I killed a bird once and I stopped to dispose of it. Bagged and binned it. Left in the street there would be kids soon poking it with sticks and kicking it at each other. So the bin was a more dignified way to go.

I actually saw a kitty get hit last week, she (or he) limped away. That bothered me more then when I saw a person get hit with a car, she kinda rolled on top of the hood and came back down, it wasn't some crazy gruesome horror movie accident.

Both me and the driver kept going. There are so many stray cats around it would be sort of pointless to see if it had an owner. If it was a dog I might check to see if it had tags (at a distance, I'm sort of afraid of dogs I don't know).

So even though I am a cat person. I'd check if it was a dog, not if it was a cat. Just because roaming dogs are usually lost, and cats are usually just strays.

So, this came up cause my friend read an article about a cat that got run over and it called it a "hit and run". She said there can be no such thing cause it's the owner's responsibility to keep their pets off the road. She also says that if she hit a pet she'd just keep on going cause it's not her fault.

That's just gross IMO. I don't care what the law says. That's an animal with feelings. It's owned by people who likely love the heck out of it. We live in a society. You should feel some obligation to stop and help if you can.

It's like saying you saw a robber shoot a cop and run away. You decided to just go about your business and leave the cop dying because it's the shooter's responsibility. It's preposterous.

"Hit and run?" Not so much. Legally, it is the owner's responsibility to keep their animals out of the road. Your dog gets loose and causes a car accident? You can be in deep doo-doo.

Morally, if you hit an animal you should do want you can to check on it, take it to a pet emergency, etc. Don't just leave it laying there suffering. If you're on a highway...well, there's not a lot you can safely do in the situation.

If you are driving and an animal runs out...you really shouldn't swerve too much unless you are on the road alone. Injuring/killing the animal is unfortunately secondary to not causing an accident in which humans can be hurt or killed.

If the animal is a rodent, there is no moral responsiblity. It makes me sad to hit a squirrel...and I do my best to avoid them by yell at them to get them out of the road or whatevs...but if I hit it, I'm not stopping. There is one road...heading to my gym that I call "Squirrel Alley." Freaks me out when I'm riding on my scooter because those little speed bumps are going to cause me to crash with their "I'm gonna go. No, wait. I'm gonna stay. Sratch that, I'm going" decision making. They bring it on themselves.

My mom would stop for a squirrel if I let her. She feels bad about hurting any living thing, even a mouse. Our old house was infested with them (fortunately they stuck to the attic) and dad wanted to get one of those poison or snap their neck traps, mom would *not* allow it. She damn near threw a crying fit because she couldn't bear seeing them die. She pouts whenever she sees a dead deer, or whenever she hits a squirrel, gets all sad and woeful for a couple of minutes. I think she'd die of heartbreak if she ever hit a dog, regardless of whether or not the dog lived.

I feel a little bad if I hit a squirrel, but there's not much one can do when they dart in front of a car, and it's not like we can really keep them off the streets. Same thing with opossums. I don't stop for woodland creatures, sorry.

Sadly NV once hit a cat, but in his defense the cat was genuinely suicidal and was known around the neighborhood because it would race out and throw itself in front of your car. Multiple car accidents had been caused by attempting to avoid the beastie.

Zeek: one of my dad's dogs (one he had when he was a kid) would do that with rabbits; she'd catch em and kill em, but I'm not sure if she ever brought them home (she would do the same thing with cats--never killed one or injured one severely, mind you, but would toy with them a little bit before letting them go, similar to what a cat does with a mouse). And another dog in the neighborhood (who was alive at the same time as his rabbit dog) would do that with city rats (from what dad tells me, the rats were bigger than the dog--Pepi was a terrier of some sort) only HE would leave them on your doorstep.

When it comes to woodland creatures, there's not much you can do. Usually they're small and squishy enough that they just die. I tend not to stop if I kill one of those. Unless it's in an area with lots of foot traffic too where kids might get at it. but usually it's not.

Woodland creature hater!

j/k I agree that there's not much you can do in that case most of the time. Though if I hit a deer and it was still alive and for some reason my car wasn't damaged enough for me to be forced to stop, I'd be calling the cops to have them get someone out there to take care of the situation. I don't think it would really do any good for me to stop. I don't have a gun so I can't put it out of it's misery. I don't have a car big enough to transport a deer to an animal hospital. I'd basically just be able to sit there and watch. Which would make me feel bad and probably make the deer nervous.
