December 20, 200916 yr There was drifting apparently, as the snow came all the way up to the windows ...My housemate couldn't even get the front door open this morning.
December 20, 200916 yr Dew eet. You need to post that on things-that-look-like-faces.com (or whatever it's called).
December 20, 200916 yr How's kangaroo meat? It seems to be pretty hard to obtain in Canada, but I'd certainly be interested to try that someday. *cue animal defense league protest* Kangaroo meat is fucking awesome. Requires a very steady hand to cook though, because it is extremely lean and does not like overcooking at all. When I used to do kangaroo fillet I would soak it in good olive oil for at least an hour at room temperature, sear it in a VERY hot pan, then chuck it in the oven until medium-rare.
December 20, 200916 yr I'd love to try kangaroo someday, along with squirrel meat and whatever else I haven't tried. --- Just finished the second day of shoveling the hell out of some goddamn snow. My back is... not feeling the best, at the moment.
December 23, 200916 yr Yay for snow right before Christmas! (It's not Christmas without snow dammit.) There'll be moar snow pics here later too, there always are: http://www.9news.com/life/community/galleryphoto.aspx?plckPhotoID=14e021dd-d568-494e-8691-3e5ab860a294&plckGalleryID=063512f6-9b68-4d97-9eca-28caf2578dad
December 24, 200916 yr It isn't that good to me. Very lean though. Crocodile is where it is at. It is like a strong flavoured, chicken. Crocodile is great! But not quite as good as warthog. Mmmmm, warthog! The worst is Mopani worms. Blech!
December 24, 200916 yr The worst is Mopani worms. Blech! Yeah, those suck. Fried termites are quite tasty though if you can get over the yick factor. What were we talking about again? Oh yeah, snow. It tastes like cold. You can shoot it!
December 24, 200916 yr In the UK bookmakers offer bets on White Christmas. For a couple days there things were looking pretty good (BBC News | UK | Bookies slash odds on white Christmas) but now it's 6/1 against in the London area http://www.head-case.org/forums/uploads/emoticons/default_sad.png' alt=':('> ([url="http://www.williamhillmedia.com/index_template.asp?file=5011]
December 25, 200916 yr Round #1 on the current snow event was the ten to twelve inches of powder that greeted us yesterday morning after snarling up the Holiday Exodus from town last night. But it snowblew well and only began to introduce the snow storage space problems by sheer volume. The plows did not get around until after noon, and our hill was proof to cars and two-wheel-drive trucks until then. Plenty of 4x4s to churn the snow so that the plow tailings in the drive mouth were heavy and hell if you let them freeze. I was out three times on my own surfaces and trying to help out neighbors with issues. Round #2 started last night when the temp got up to 33F and the snow started again. This morning dawned on five inches of "heart attack" snow with snow/sleet/freezing rain still coming. Snowblowing was essentially pumping, but I got the bulk of the overnight off before the wet precip could settle it more and the plows could get around. Glad I got the 8hp Toro with the overhead valve engine ten years ago. And I had to dig out a base for my extension ladder (and dig the ladder out of my shed) to brush off the DirecTV dish to regain reception for SWMBO. Now I'm watching the poor SOB across the road who did no snow removal yesterday and gets to do it all at once this morning with a runty snowblower. But he's a young guy and this experience should move him up the learning curve.
December 25, 200916 yr And I had to dig out a base for my extension ladder (and dig the ladder out of my shed) to brush off the DirecTV dish to regain reception for SWMBO. You're such a loving husband.
December 25, 200916 yr You're such a loving husband. What I am loving of, Peter, is fucking peace and quiet.
December 25, 200916 yr Well, be careful all the same, otherwise you might get all the peace and quiet you can handle.
December 25, 200916 yr Well, be careful all the same, otherwise you might get all the peace and quiet you can handle. Being the best cook she knows (and cooking what she wants to eat) has covered a multitude of sins over the years (23 and counting).
December 27, 200916 yr You certainly know the quickest way to a woman's heart. After seeing some pics of Mopani worms I'm pretty sure I'd try balut first. I'm already used to eggs that are messed up: Century egg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Salted duck egg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And of course shacha sauce + raw egg yolk for hot pot.
December 28, 200916 yr Being the best cook she knows (and cooking what she wants to eat) has covered a multitude of sins over the years (23 and counting).Oh, I didn't mean by her hand, I meant be careful while you're up on the roof shoveling snow. 'cause like Death is permanent and stuff.
December 28, 200916 yr Oh, I didn't mean by her hand, I meant be careful while you're up on the roof shoveling snow. 'cause like Death is permanent and stuff. You know, you really are more subtle and global than you somtimes seem.
December 28, 200916 yr The snow is deep enough in Chicago now, that I have to dig a path for my two pug dogs to get out to the back yard. Otherwise, they sink to the bottom, the snow is above head level, and they have to bound like rabbits or perish. You certainly know the quickest way to a woman's heart. After seeing some pics of Mopani worms I'm pretty sure I'd try balut first. I'm already used to eggs that are messed up: Century egg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Salted duck egg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And of course shacha sauce + raw egg yolk for hot pot. I love this topic so much, I created a new thread rather than continue to hijack this one ... http://www.head-case.org/forums/food-drink/7797-what-bizarre-foods-have-you-eaten.html#post310183 I hope you join me!
December 28, 200916 yr Another fine thread starting with the versatile word "Fucking"; nicely paired in this case with the word snow. I agree. I hate snow except for light and crunchy Colorado snow in the thin mountain air with a warm afternoon sun beating down on me, fooling me for maybe an hour or two that it's not as cold as the thermometer suggests it is, while I'm busy checking out a trail that looked totally different in the summer. But otherwise, ya, I hate fucking snow.
December 28, 200916 yr It sucks living in Miami Beach, three pictures I took yesterday morning by the dock off my building.
