well, now we're ordering pizza because we realized it's too late to eat carnitas, but we'll shred this when it's done and use it for carnitas and omelets and stuff
@Mien How you are? I am building a a new database mart this morning to provide query capability and dashboarding views of our access request system. I am so useful... :-)
Plain pencil is what is normally used. The trick is that you draw on the reverse side of the parchment, and then flip it over so the food is on the non-written on side.
I just cannot believe the votes that bit iof silliness is getting! Sometimes, I wonder about our readers.
Its nearly as good as the brush teh butter on the waffle question!
by the grace of God, a friend from church had spent the last 5 hours driving to the train station to pick her mom up, noticed on facebook that I was stuck and picked me up too
@rfusca I have been to Atlanta and three major (ha!) cities in Alabama.... not buying it :-) Unless you were stuck in Chicago or Buffalo or something :-)
@rfusca I remember the year there was a snow panic in atlanta while I was there. The schools closed. THe county governments closed. There were about 10 flakes seen. No accumulation. That doesn't even rate as high as pathetic.
the roads really did look like an apocalypse movie - roads clogged with abandoned cars, people just leaving their stuff and walking through the ice just to go somewhere, people sleeping in grocery stores....there were exits off the interstate where the entire 2 rows of cars had just died and been left in place
@waxeagle If I was an evil supervillain, all I would have to do is create 0.001 inches of snow, and I could paralize every southern city! Muahahahhahahhhahahha.
@waxeagle I understand the complete lack of infrastructure. What I don't understand is the complete inability to assess the actual threat even given that lack its due.
@SAJ14SAJ this last time was really just the fact that all the schools and everybody let out at the same time. Atlanta has bad traffic on a normal day. Even if there had been no snow, the traffic would have been insane
Southerners live in perpetual winter fear of a phenomenon, probably as common as the spotted blue unicorn, called black ice. Evidently it ravages women and eats children in large quantities, and leaves men unable to appeciate football. That last is probably the scariest to many small towns.
@SAJ14SAJ the ultimate problem is the real potential to get burned. Everyone laughed off the prediction a few weeks ago, and chaos ensued. (we didn't even have snow in our forecast and we get 2" and were shut down for a week due to cold temps)
@rfusca Atlanta would hav3e much better traffic if 1) they learned how to merge, and 2) they rename some of the Peachtree streets so people can find their way around.
@rfusca I kid you not, in my atlanta days I have seen with my own eyes on the permiter, the right two lanes going at a virtual stop, like 5 miles an hour, and the left two lanes going at about 80. No one can merge in or out under those circumstances. Only in atlanta!
@SAJ14SAJ compared to most other major metro cities, we really do have terrible transit
it only leaves the perimeter in one direction and even then it doesn't make it up to the most populous suburb. And if you're not in a cardinal direction, you're just out of luck
@rfusca I have lived in NY, been to Boston, been to Chicago, and live outside DC. ATtlanta is no better than number 4 in bad traffic of all of those.
Oh, "transit", not "traffic". Never mind.
I never looked at Atlanta's public transit. I think they were arguing about building it out for the olympics last time was there. That never happened, I guess?
I take the train - I don't drive that nonsense lol
hmm we've got some leftover steak I think I'm going to slice thin and throw in a stir fry. But my normal stir fry sauce wouldn't work for steak I think (normally its chicken)
my wife is practically begging me to make Magic cake again
I have a pot of tinati abd meat sauce simmering. I used a lot of convenience ingredients--meat loaf mix, roasted red peppers (best jarred product ever!), ground hot peppers--but still, its the first time I have nearly cooked anything in ages. It smells fantastic. The whole house is redolent with oregano and smells savory. Yay.
