First Dresden. Then wife is keen on the eastern experience (dammit Wiggles) but I am swaying the kids by the power of promising them foodstuff.

Also - I have the wheel, and the GPS is my sole property!

First saxony, then let's see!

go to provence. it's amazing. I drove up from marseilles to the verdon gorge, aix-en-provence, lots of little towns, and finally hit chateauneuf-du-pape. stayed in lots of little bed and breakfast places for really cheap, like 30-50eur a night for a room.

I've been to tuscany too, and it was pretty boring and about 1/3rd as pretty. I liked the wine a lot less too, fwiw.

edit : though florence was pretty awesome I gotta say, and just north of tuscany is cinque terra, which was amazing even in march when I went.


deja vu, have you been asking about this before in this thread?

The Western part is fantastic. People leave the car keys in the car - where else?! They'd just lose them! It's like a mix between Western Norway and the Mediterranean. Amazing beer, booze and everything.

Funny story that, Dino, but since this is a group of hedonists and perverts, I feel inclined to share a good pair of stories.

Scene one is I'm cooking something with habaneros in my kitchen. I'm dating someone else in the food business who likes to overindulge as often as not, so we're drunk and cooking up some good poo poo. In the spirit of passion, we decide to get it on right there, in the kitchen. She was admirably fond of anal sex, so I'm rubbing my cock down with some olive oil to get it going when I feel a slight tingle through my drunken haze. Needless to say, she was much more aware of the burning than I, and what was to be some hot, nasty kitchen counter sex turned into a puddle of un-fun moans and inappropriate giggles.

Scene two is I have a dear friend who couldn't cook for his life. He goes and buys himself an apartment and is otherwise living his life like a grownup with three serious mathematics degrees, but still eats take out like a shlub. So I buy him this cookbook and it seems to get him going. One day he calls me while I'm tooling around outside a friends bar, going through a pretty tough breakup with the aforementioned sodomy enthusiast. He says with a little giggle that it sucks to cut hot peppers then piss, and we have a laugh and talk for about 45 min about the breakup. Finally he says "no, but really, my cock is burning". I tell him to stick it in a glass of milk and that I love him for being a good enough friend to talk about my poo poo while he sat on a low grade chemical burn on his babymaker.

I like to say it's a mistake you make three times. Once, you learn the pain. Twice, you learn that you're an idiot. Three times, and you instinctively wash your hands every time you cut a pepper.

My local asian mart got kumquats in. They were labeled "Golden Tangerines", but they looked exactly like the pic on Wikipedia.

They tasted about what I expected; like an orange-flavored lime, but with an edible rind. The oils made my tongue tingle.

Kumquats are awesome candied. Be sure to poke holes through them or they burst in the syrup.

When the weather is hot I enjoy putting my Johnson in a tall cold glass of milk, even if I haven't burned it with chilli. Full fat is best.

Oh! I've always wanted an electric jigsaw but never been able to justify it, but I've got some smallish branches that need cutting down and then into pieces. By hand would be a pain. I looked on eBay and a used Bosch in good nick was ending in 10 minutes. I got it for less than £20 including p&p. :haw:

Pretty much. I know it isn't ideal but from what I've read, it'll do the job, besides having other applications.

Just be careful, trying to cut anything other than sheet goods with one of those can be dangerous. What you really need/want is a Milwaukee 15-Amp Super Sawzall Reciprocating Saw:

How do you wash it in between? I'm not asking to be snarky, I'd love a tool that I could use as my go-to cutting everything tool and that's the only question I'd need answered before I went for it.

I intend to be VERY careful, thanks. I am aware it isn't the best tool for the job but it is not going to be used further very often, in think its good enough, and it was cheap. If I was using it to cut branches more often (like if I moved to the country) I'd buy something more suitable.

I wrap a plastic bag around most of it, which takes care of most of the mess. Otherwise, just take it apart when you're done and clean.

I'm pretty sure that's a pound of butter. Source: I'm :canada:

In an actually inhabitable area of Canada a pound of butter doesn't cost $9.00/lb; I think recently I saw Compliments butter go for like $4.50/lb. The better quality butters (Cultured/european style/whatever) usually run for $6.50/lb and up, but go on sale pretty often and their sale price is usually whittled down to mid-range butters, which is closer to $5.00/lb. My boyfriend's mother always gauged her poverty/wealth level with butter. If she couldn't afford to have real butter in the house, she was poor as poo poo and something needed to be done. BUTTER, Y'ALL! :byodame:


I had a teacher who worked up in Nunavut. Back in the early 2000's I think a gallon of milk was over 10 dollars. A gallon of milk where I'm from is 5 dollars right now and I weep over THAT, I cannot imagine :10bux: for a jug of milk.

Yeah, I saw some of the other prices of stuff in Nunavut. They had a box of pasta for like $40. There was Ketchup for $14. A 1/2 gallon of Tropicana was like $15. Red peppers were like $17. Compared to all that, $9/lb for butter doesn't seem half bad.
