Yeah, the D handles are not set up for lefties, the octagonal and oval ones are what I stick with and I'm a righty. However I would argue that the octagonal handle is more standard than the D ones, you see way more of them than D or oval handles.

Yes! I make socca all the time. It's my favorite hummus accompaniment, as well, and that's something I eat a lot of. Also good with baba ghanoush, chutneys, pesto, salsa, whatever. It is definitely best when hot from the frying pan, though.

Yeah, it's hugely versatile. We've done it in the pan and the oven and I prefer pan. It's so easy yet so good. Cheap and nutritious too. Excellent effort:reward ratio.

As much as you can hold in a "grip" of your hand, although usually people use it to refer to a lot more than that.

quote:

A US senator has suggested that restaurants should not have to make their employees wash their hands after toilet visits.

Senator Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, made the comments on Monday during a speech criticising business regulations.

"Let them decide" such issues, the newly elected lawmaker said.

His argument was that restaurants which did not require workers to wash their hands would quickly go out of business.

"But I think it's good to illustrate the point, that that's the sort of mentality we need to have to reduce the regulatory burden on this country," Mr Tillis said.

He suggested that restaurants that did not require hand washing would have to alert customers with prominently displayed signs - itself a regulation.

Mr Tillis stood by his comments when interviewed later at the US Capitol.

"Sometimes there are regulations that maybe we want to set a direction, but then let those who are regulated decide whether or not it makes sense," Mr Tillis told the Associated Press news agency.

"They might pay a huge price," he said, but "they get to make that decision versus government."

The comments come as some Republican presidential hopefuls have questioned vaccine regulations amid a measles outbreak.

At least two hopefuls have said parents are justified in sometimes having their children avoid vaccinations generally required for attending school.

Ignaz Semmelweis, who was a pioneer of antiseptic procedures/handwashing, was committed to an asylum because his ideas were crazy and it's rude to imply that a gentleman's hands are dirty.

quote:

Despite various publications of results where hand-washing reduced mortality to below 1%, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. Some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and Semmelweis could offer no acceptable scientific explanation for his findings. Semmelweis's practice earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory and Joseph Lister, acting on the French microbiologist's research, practiced and operated, using hygienic methods, with great success. In 1865, Semmelweis was committed to an asylum, where he died at age 47 after being beaten by the guards, only 14 days after he was committed.

Well... If you take the cholera vaccine (mandatory for my colleagues, who've all gotten afflicted with autism and self-diagnosed assburger), you will actually gain immunity to e-coli as well (but only for 6 months).

Now the diseases that you Americans decided shouldn't be eradicated anyways, those diseases are kinda mild compared to some of the more serious ones out there (Japanese enchaphilitis, rabies, yellow fever, hep a and b, cholera are the less exotic ones that I am vaccinated against, and then some more dangerous of the exotic ones), do they also decline to vaccinate their children against diseases that will with certainty kill them if they should get them?

What about tetanus? I've seen a guy die from tetanus.

Death from tetanus is about the second saddest thing I've seen, and I guess that is something that you can easily contract in the US as well. Do they want to protect tetanus too?

Or is only the disfiguring ones that they're actively promoting?
