it's tough being beautiful

I spell potato w\ an e because I type it and tomatoe and I can never remember which is which in terms of that last e so I just interchang the thing every once in awhile, a potato ricer is any of a class of "gadgets" that very quickly mashes potatoes incredibly finely, now I don't know what it is, but riced potatos just taste significantly better than mashed potatoes, they are also a much better concistency for making gniocchi

a food mill is better explained by what it does than what it is, say I have 4 tomatoes, I don't want to peel or deseed them (or even core them) I drop them into the food mill, I turn the handle and out the bottom comes seedless, skinless, coreless tomatoe, it only processes the softest part, if I were to make cranberry sauce (the rustic kind) run it through a food mill, add pectin, I'd have the sort people buy in cans at the grocery store, I could can (as in put in jars) some, keep it for next thanksgiving, and that way I could add a little citrus to make the flavour that much better


I don't do pork, I have a pet pig, sorry on that one, I don't know fish either, but that's because everyone in my family but me reacts poorly to it so until recently I haven't had access to it and I'm still working out all the kinks


but more or less anything else, I have down just about cold....

 

iiiiinteresting. i didn't know all that, that's awesome. oh and i no longer do pork either...

maybe i should make another thread, because i've considered making gniochi, but it looks so difficult and time consuming.. i mean, another thread to discuss these things i do not know, and not another thread because this one is too small for the gniochi...... lol


oh yeah, and the american spelling of tomato and potato, singular, is both without an e, but when you pluralize it you then add the e

 

gniocchi is easy, just rice\mash the potatoes, add flour, add salt then make little balls, ding them with your thumb, then do what you will with them


I always wanted to try a deep fried gniocchi, but I've necer actually had all the stuff together at once and had the inititive and the time, you could probably bake them too, they'd probably turn out like tater tots


the tradidional one is boiling.... I'm just not down with that.....

I mean I can see it, but I've yet to find a red sauce that works right and I can't imagine a cheese sauce working...

maybe just a nice hearty olive oil infused w\ garlic, but you'd have to really really dry the gniocchi after you boiled them for it to work right... and you might need some more salt\ dash of pepper....

might go good on a bed of greens....

 

tigerlily doesnt dig on swine

 

oh.... pesto might work too...


I just don't like pesto though personally, that's why it didn't spring to mind....

 

wow that sounds really shitty... may i ask how you react to stuff like that?



sort of on topic with the thread,
i know a girl at work who is not a slut at all, but well... a tease i guess. she's really hot and she dresses like she knows it (for example she wears mini skirts to go bowling). and she's a flirt... but anyway, based on these things, a lot of ppl assume she is free and up for anyone and anything. it's kinda shitty that we can't wear whatever the hell we want without ppl judging us, but we do choose to wear what we do, and so ppl judge us based on that. so iiiinteresting... to me anyway

 

Being beautiful.... well that certainly is not me, and I am telling the truth so leave me be

 

sure....


leaving you alone.... leaving you alone....


in memory of 10,000 little brothers past....


I'm not touching you.....

 

my mind cannot grasp that statement

 

everyone who I know who has been a little brother does or once did the whole

"I'm not touching you" thing

wherein they try to get as close to their sibling as possible without touching them (the logic is that often parents reaction will be "don't touch your sister, really this is a pretty safe gamble in a lot of cases)

and so "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you" repeated ad naseum will now and forever be the battle cry of little brothers everywhere.....

 

oh sweet holy jesus,
i forgot about that shit

 

the little brother is strong in some..... in others it is very weak..... there is an annoying little brother in all of us...

 

I know when I was younger and hot i got away with a lot more than I do now...but now I don't have freaky men who I don't know saying freaky things to me anymore. I like being average and a wallflower now.

 

well, if i wouldnt have find this self of mine before i lost this mind of mine, maybe it wouldnt be so hard to get my mind back cuz i wouldnt know that there was nothin there to begin with....

 

yeah, being average and a wallflower is fine with me too...

 

Oh it's terrible.......everytime i walk down teh hightstreet i'm practically deafend by the twaning and snapping of knicker elastic.........

 

Neither of you are average.

 

Y'oughta try being ugly. That's a fun ride.........(right)...

 

I used to get a lot of negative attention.....some guys think they should be able to have sex with with you because you're pretty.....

I'm older now, and looking around me, I think I look better than some of the 15 year olds.

And a note....we all know the real beauty is inside, but that's not what people see first...and first impressions last.

 

I think "beautiful" people do have problems. I also think they miss out on meeting many people because an average to ugly person (like me (grin)) takes one look, thinks “out of my class”, and walks on. The "beautiful" nurses that I have worked with have had to put up with a lot of crap from patients and other staff just because of the way they look. I have met a few people who seemed to feel that their looks entitled them to a special place in the world. However, there were only a few like that. I think males have it a bit better; there is not as much emphasis on looks. Not too nice to be broke or clumsy though. I am beginning to ramble so I had better stop (grin).
