why not leave IT? Been heavily into r&d, product development, weather prediction and it/ot lately, so I was wondering of taking care of the supply chain couldn't be fun for a change.

I would, It has always been awesome, fun, and I have worked with people who I really admire! I would be prouder of my daughters if they worked to improve general living conditions though, than of they followed in my footsteps.

Darval: I think I started buying it in Føtex back in 2005, I only knew what it was when I joined GWS. But I am completely sympathetic on the inability to get anything hot or hotish in Denmark - either the hotsauces we're able to get are something 'HawHaw - see this is so hot that it is named after an anus", or it is something that is basically ketchup, the same goes for the ability to actually get anything resembling chile in dried form.

Edit: ^^^I once reported someone for suggesting cock sauce, before I knew what the thing was^^^ Dear LiveJournal, Today I learned that my people are looked at with general scorn for being impolite. We are, according to the British, impolite to such an extend that they are unable to work together with us, I've had a British project manager in tears (well, not actually tears, but manly sobs), over the fact that one of our lower minions had writting him and confronted him with his inability to perform. I had to ask him which part of the communication he had a problem with, because it really went over my head, that there was anything in that mail that he should be in histrionics about, all that had happened was a direct excallation to his CEO, stating facts about his companys inability to perform... Apparently he had a breakdown, and had to ask our project manager (who also is british, but who is a good guy because he is our british guy) about these danes, and why they were so goddamn cold in business. The truth is that we just have fun! I think he misunderstood us completely, we only wanted to help him with his inability to perform by getting him the direly needed management attention in his company. Also - it is not a good idea to tell the british to stop being weeping pussies, and focus on delivering some results instead. I may be culturally insensitive? However my german guy doesn't mind me telling him "Please don't start any wars' whenever we send him to Frankfurt for a day. So I will work with my cultural sensitivity, I have heard that the british prefer to use the word 'twat' instead of 'pussy' and I will now start using that word more to ensure international understanding.

I don't know what a PBR is. ...I don't sip beer either - I drink it copiously and with hearty enjoyment - often while singing songs about sad maidens and the smelly fingers that will result from the interaction with them. ...Steel is superiour to cast iron sometimes, and other times it is not, often the definition of those times is wether or not I feel like using one or the other. The feel for it is linked to wether I have to use my meatcleaver, because that makes me feel like a man, and if I don't have to use it, I can repair my masculinity by using cast iron. (For some reason most of my cast iron responds really well to being washed too... much like my manhood - I use steel wool on both too). Also.. I am using leverpostej in a ragu right now, and if this fucks it up I will blame you Sjurygg

Jesus titty-loving christ this day was a bad one... One of my guys have been diagnosed with borderline autism and ADHD (explains a bit, however I had already ensured right scoping and am guiding him sufficiently). One of my guys is depressed One of my guys have a daughter who by now have attempted suicide 4 times (she is 16) One of my peers want me to promote the fact that I've gotten a historical high score in the employee survey - That made me snap, I absolutely refused to be the focal point for any attempts at improving the satisfaction in the company in general when it is my guys who're loving brilliant. Also - phone stopped working - I am now planning a carthagenic ceremony of utter destruction. Edit: DnF:I hope you notice the hyphen in titty-loving, as per your previous instruction.

Seriously, titty-loving looks uninteresting. Now I cannot attest to that fact myself, since none of my previous lovers has had boobs which were long enough to actually wrap around my junk. I am having hopes from my wife though, as gravity seems to gradually elongate them. We may get there when she's 60 at the rate they're approaching her waistline. Also, a question, is then and than interchangeable? Happy Hat fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Mar 15, 2012 |

It's confusing, that's all.. Kind of like using "x is different than y" - shouldn't it be "x is different from y" instead? Or is it ok to use than when you compare two? I could understand it if it was in the form of comparing a difference from a subject between two other subjects, but then I guess it should still be from? And affect and effect is interchangable too... Also - pronounciation of certain words doesn't make sense either! Kinda like.. beer... Beard is pronounced as beer with a d. Bared is pronounced as bear with a d.

I know, but people use them as if it was the same, without discerning between the different meanings - affect surely is different from effect. The effect of using affect when you mean effect is negatively affecting the effectiveness of bringing your meaning across. With regards to the dangling stuff, it leaves me limp. Edit: I may mean limb, but I cannot hear the difference between the two! Happy Hat fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Mar 16, 2012 |

Those Samoas now have about 12 cookies in the box -they just keep increasing the distance between each cookie partition on the plastic cookie holder thingy.

I usually do that thing, but to a couple of hundred cloves at a time... Then I use them like a motherfucker! Edit: I do not imply that a part of having intercourse with your maternal parent is using roasted garlic, I do not know if there's any special things that you need to observe, or rituals that needs to be followed, but I am completely sure that there's an american site describing it in detail, with pictures, and a narrative comparing different methods of using garlic in the act of incest.

I peel 10 or 15 bulbs, cover it in oil, and put it in the oven for 1- 1,5 (if I forget it) hours at 100*c, the oil I'm using is either a neutral oil, or a bulk extra virgin olive oil. Then I store it in the fridge - it has a shelf life of virtually forever..

I like turtles posted:Standard warnings about Botulism risk for confit garlic, since you're storing food in an anaerobic environment and I guess the botulism spores either contaminate it after it is off the heat or they're resistant to the relatively low heat levels used. Guidelines I've seen have suggested that you keep it refrigerated and not keep it for more than two weeks. That may be overkill, I don't know. I bet NosmoKing could shed some light on the matter. Seems like you should hit it at 121*c, so either I've been lucky, or I've had my oven on too high (prolly the first) - I will adjust to 125. But yeah - it lasts at least a couple of months in the fridge (but it will only last me about 2 weeks when we're talking around 100 cloves - bitches needs their garlic bread!

Vegetable Melange posted:I just made my first mustard, and I think I did it wrong. Ground organic yellow mustard, salt, whole wheat flour, belgan blonde wheat ale to incorporate. It tastes a little floury, so I popped in some smoked paprika to balance it out. Dijon it's not, but it's mustard. Tips? Are you sure it said whole wheat flour, and not mustard flour? Otherwise this is a wrong recipe! My basic recipe: Coarsely ground up mustard seeds + mustard flour + water (just a bit) + sea salt + pinch of sugar Tip: Zest of lime Tip: Zest of lemon Tip: Smoked salt Tip: Mint (it is good) Tip: Horseradish Tip: Thyme (fuckton of it) Tip: Apple cider vinegar instead of water Tip: Terragon (oh god.. and add in some chervil too) Tip: Garlic confit

Dear E/N, Recently I got my performance review, and I have been evaluated as a 4 out of a 5 by the top management, a loving 4 out of a 5... The evaluation is according to behaviour and results, ok - I bring the results, but I do not score high on the "get along" parameter... I do not get it! Being in this company is kinda like being present at a midget tossing competetion, tossing the midget the farthest, without any serious injury, high-fiving your friends for grabbing the first place, and shouting "we tossed that loving midget", upon which silence fills the room... Everybody who has tossed the midget before you looks at you with a frown, and then someone pulls you aside and tells you sotto voce "you're supposed to call them 'little people'" while standing under the neon lit sign stating "Midget tossing competition". Hope you americans don't get my analogy wrong, I did not mean to offend in any way, and now you can go back to watching your little people porn again! Anyways - I scored low on the "Get along" factor... (I scored a 2 out of a 3), so I decided it was complete bullshit, because my behaviour is loving perfect! And challenged it! My boss told me that I have a tendency to run over people when they are not agreeing with me. I promptly asked him "what people?" and he stated a few examples... Then I informed him that I didn't see them, and besides, if they chose to stand in the middle of the tracks, then why the gently caress blame the train, or the tracks? I mean - would you slap a bullet train on the wrist, for being impolite when running someone over? I didn't even register they were standing there! His answer was 'Precisely!' - which I found hillarious! Then I asked him if there were extra points for the ability to use the word "Skin flute" in a presentation, and all was good again! Now I will go and question hot SVP about the future of her department, and not forget to harass my German guy for WWII.

But doesn't hurt to look. I am having too much fun to look for something different, it only hurts when we have to let people go, and when we have to cut cost.. A 4/5 is within the top-performer range, and about 10% of the people at the company get that rating or above, at my level it is less than 2%. So it's all good, no reason to be unhappy!

Hello JacquelineDempsey, welcome to the thread! The other guys are too busy right now, with giving themselves brazilians with their knives and comparing the stubble of a japanese knife to the one of a swiss army knife to greet you, and I am sorry, on the other hand, that is why we love them so! I use Globals, because they're ok, I use a machine to sharpen them because I am a Twat, and I let everybody who wants use my knives, and I don't feel bad if one chips (never happened) or gets dropped. The reason why I do so is because I want my kids to be able to use them, and also because I am too much of an uneducated swine to discern between really good knives and poor knives... Also - I do expect people who own USD400 knives to own Hobart, and not kitchen aid, otherwise it may only be for show? I now have glorious socialist vacation, and have decided to make it a 2 week one this time (because of socialism, Jesus may have died too). Cooking will ensue! Also: Dane, We're a few guys who're starting a food club thing, a few restaurant owners, a few EM and DM winning cooks and so on - something that could interest you? Edit: The one exception to my Globals is my Dick meat axe (is it called a cleaver?), which I bought because to tell someone "This is my dick knife" is great fun while slamming it agains the block! Edit II: Oh, and my laguiole steak knives. Happy Hat fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Apr 1, 2012 |

Hey Sjurygg, that leverpostej thing in Ragu is actually really good...
