I wanted the opinion of an archer, not a wiki article. I don't need another stinkin' wiki article. What I find fascinating is that such a specific weapon could come about independently. A lot of them seem to have the same recurve design. Amazing!

What you say seems reasonable - except for the speculation part. I can speculate all day. It don't hardly cost me nothing. :)

Would an archer necessarily know anything about when the
American Indians got bow and arrow technology? Only if
he/she had an interest in history.
 
Incidentally, I provided the second two links because I
felt the first was too Euro-centric.

Sf, you can certainly melt the butter...my recipe says to melt it. People will
argue this all day long, but I am old and know what I am talking about when
it comes to cookies.
 
Use oleo, not butter, for soft, chewy CC cookies. Store in air-tight containers
so,they stay soft and chewy.
 
Butter or mostly butter makes them crisp after the first day.

Every summer some women at the local museum demonstrate how to make
butter using the wooden churn you can see in this pic.

That's what happens when you cut cold butter into
flour. Melting the butter separates the fat from the
water held in suspension, and makes the water available
to gliadin in the flour.

That is where most of them end up. Late at night when a spider rappels
down and is two feet from my face, the book I was reading was pretty
handy. Just be sure to do it on a page you have already read.

My favorite set of bedding is chocolate/cocoa... goes well with my
bedroom's adobe walls... I prefer dark colors in my bedroom. My
bedroom furniture is dark wood too.

I once saw my wife kill a spider.
 
"I thought you said spiders in the house were good luck."
 
"I never said that."
 
"You said your mother said it was bad luck to kill a spider."
 
"Only in the morning. You can kill them in the evening."
 
The Koreans evidently have schedules of when they can kill bugs. Well alright. :)

When my mother was in school during the 20s, the girls all learned
"dairy" as part of usual curriculum for girls. She would occasionally
make butter for us using a jam jar and a fork.

Sort of. I guess it is supposed to give the same outer crispness as
frying without the oil submersion. Super convection oven? Never tried
one. notbob mentioned the Bernzomatic. Concetrated heat source blowing
could give that effect.

I guess I've been living in a cave. Never heard of them till this thread.
 
I went to Google and checked them out.
 
plenty of videos out there as well.
 
Looks like just another countertop appliance that you will get bored with and put in the closet to rot.

Air fried is an even dumber phrase than oven fried.

I'd settle for air frying you with a decent enough propane torch...

Your post is clear; you wrote SHE kept insisting

that they were croquettes"

The croquettes sold in Japan come in different shapes. This is done to identify the different types. Some are curry, some are cream, some are beef. As a practical matter, I can make a croquette in the shape of a T-rex and it would still be a croquette and not a dinosaur.

You're probably one of folks who never changes the air in his tires.
 
On an unrelated note:
 
OK, something just kind of hit me today. I thought about the expression, "Fly in the ointment." You know, it's ointment. It's not like you're going to be eating it or anything. It's just ointment. Pick the damned fly out and use the damned ointment. Jiminy, it's just ointment.

March 21 2016 Julie Bovie - Tale of Woe - No charge - Condensed version.
 
I accidentally tipped over a pot of hot water that I had cooked some pasta in.
 
Although this did leave a hideous mess, I don't think my body sustained too
much damage. Could have been way worse! I can't even begin to explain how
this happened either. Except that I know that I was trying to do too much
in a short amount of time.
 
Anyway...my feet, legs and the floor became drenched with near boiling water.
Although my feet feel like they have been burned, I don't see any damage to
the skin and the skin feels cold to the touch. Most likely that sensation
is due to my neuropathy or something.
 
This is three burns I have gotten in about a month's time!

It could only improve his looks, and since everyone mentions brand names,
singling Julie out just proves that some people can't help responding to her
posts in a negative manner.

Nowadays couldn't you just make butter using one of those paint
mixers/stirrers that just shake the hell out of the bottle/can?
That's how we made butter in Kindergarten - passing around a plastic
bottle filled with cream and taking turns shaking it.
