Speaking of HP Lovecraft, I had a calamari soup once that was disturbing. It had tiny little squid that were in these contorted poses poking up through an opaque milk chowder sort of soup. made me want to run my steam ship through them all, damned hell-cephalopods

I had those in some sort of mixed seafood fra diavolo thing. It was delicious, and had the additional bonus of freaking my sister out.

I should make a risotto soon. I have dried porcini mushrooms and garlic and I can think of a few other things to put in it. Probably rosemary.

When my uncle got married, it was in a protestant church of some stripe. Now, my grandparents are Catholic. Many of my aunts and uncles are Catholic. Nobody cared because it was a very touching ceremony and the reception had an open bar and all manner of delicious goodies. Brie en croûte. Brownies. Various meat things. Jesus wept, it was magical.

There was also champagne and the most incredible cake, made up to look like a beach with surfboards on it. My uncle makes surfboards. :3:

Also, the priest was a lady. She was cute.

Churchill was quoted as saying that the best martini was a glass of gin, raised in the direction of France. Or something like that.

He was wrong about martinis too.

I've been given a crock pot by a friend. I have no idea if it even works. Is there a way to test if it'll get up to the proper temperatures without ruining, say, a whole brisket in the event that it doesn't?

Wouldn't just heating some water in it be sufficient to be able to test the temperature, assuming you have a thermometer handy.

Tu pastor tiene demasiado queso.

Nice beets. I bought another 25 pounds for $12 because I can't loving resist those prices.

I posted my borscht recipe for the throwdown, and I've been pretty happy with it. The basics:
- Start with oxtail or beef shank.
- Go heavy on the initial sear.
- Cook with beer. Wine is okay, but a decent lager will add a slight hoppy bitterness that plays well with both sweet and sour.
- Spice with allspice, caraway, clove.
- Sourness from sauerkraut (ideal) or a heavy hand with sour cream/yogurt.

It varies a lot by region. Here is an article written by someone of eastern European extraction with a slightly different approach that I'm sure is delicious as well.

I am missing something here. Do you puree the beets? When do they go in?

Tips on re-sizing photos for ICSA?

Open in GIMP, right-click, Image->Scale Image. :v:

Or you can drop it into imgur and stick a lowercase L on the end of the image filename (i.e. a43gS.jpg -> a43gSl.jpg) and it automatically gives you a scaled down version. I think pasting that URL into an SA post automatically links to the full-sized version, too.

is it cheesy to propose in a restaurant

Do it while hiking or something where she'll have absolutely no idea it's coming. Also, secretly recruit someone (her mother, a friend, whatever) to take a picture of the big moment, but only if you're pretty drat sure she'll say yes. The last thing you want is pictures to commemorate an awkward, teary "no".

A few weeks ago I was listening to some interview on NPR with a linguist when some idiot calls in with a question about whether they believe that glossolalia was some sort of subconscious return to a universal human language. I wanted to crawl through my radio and smack a goon.

(that said, it's still one of my favorite novels)
