well slaughtering animals could also be considered abuse. so could keeping them pastured up. our/hers ducks and geese were always pastured, but kept behind a wire. they were fairly free. until d day.

The ONLY THING to do with an 'empty' can of ReddiWhip is take the last huff of N20!

Obviously, you don't comprehend the terms "Politeness" or "Civility." :)

You better believe it, except that I don't leave the empty can in the fridge. That would be rude. It's what real guys do - you big sissy! :-)

Abusing a duck isn't polite or civil.

We used to have a parakeet that would shove food down our cockatiel's gullet. It was so cute to see that little bird mothering that big bird. There's worse things you could do to a bird.

You make it sound like a bad thing. I read an article some time ago
about it and it claimed that the procedure is not particularly upsetting
to the birds. Sure they get ornery and resist being constrained, but
geese are pretty feisty critters and would not want to be constrained
for any reason.
 
That being said, I am not particularly averse to the concept of force
feeding to produce fatty livers, but I not interested in eating pate
foie gras. I am not into fatty foods.

What's that got to do with me? Do I look like the kind of guy that would abuse a duck? I think not, sir!

that's funny. i love jarlsberg. but here it is more expensive than imported swiss. if i could get it for cheaper, i would. it's pricey. all these cheeses are good on a burger, but i still think that old cheddar is where it's at.

I am not crazy about cheddar in a burger, and especially not cheap
cheese slices. However, once in a while it is nice to have a chunk of
blue cheese stuffed into the burger patty.

I enjoy the old cheddar with a glass of wine. I do keep Cabot super
sharp on hand for things like cheeseburgers.

Classic Mornay is Gruyere. Like the vodka martini, people get loose
with definitions to suit themselves. Millions of people use the
bastardized recipes, but that does not make it true to form.

It may not be as much of a bastardization of Mornay sauce as it is to
make up a white sauce with Parmesan and call it Alfredo. Vodka martini,
IMO is acceptable, but I do object when they go all shishi with sweet
liqueurs and cream and stuff and call it martini because of the shape of
the glass.

This is a weekly pointer to the rec.food.cooking FAQ and conversion
file. If you do not want to see it every week, you should put the
title, which will not change, into your killfile.
 
The rec.food.cooking FAQ and conversion file is posted monthly to
rec.food.cooking, rec.food.recipes, rec.answers and news.answers. It is
also available as an easy-to-navigate frames version at
 
<http://vsack.homepage.t-online.de/rfc_faq.html>.
 
There is both a link to a no-frames version and a built-in no-frames
content for older or text-only browsers.
 
The rec.food.cooking FAQ and conversion file has two parts. The first
part covers conversion and equivalence. Tables are given for conversion
of oven temperatures, food names, weights and measures. Some useful
substitutions for unavailable ingredients are suggested.
 
The second part is more descriptive. It outlines some of the commonly
discussed topics of rec.food.cooking and explains a number of food
terms. It also lists other food-related newsgroups and mailing lists,
as well as food-related FAQs, recipe archives and other food/cooking
sites.

I need a new 6 quart pressure cooker. (I got mine in the 60s.) It
just won't seal anymore and no parts available. I've always had a
stove top pressure cooker. That is still what I would prefer to have
as I don't like the pre-set times that come with an electric cooker.
It does seem, however, that non-electric cookers are almost a thing of
the past. Have any of you gotten a non-electric cooker in the last
couple of years? If so, which brand and are you happy with it?
However, I am realistic. Which electric pressure cooker is the bees
knees currently, do you have one, do you like it? I don't want one
with the browning element on top because that element top is not
removable and will get in my way..
Thanks for your help.

I saw a stove top pressure cooker last night at Sears. If it had been one that works on an induction range, I would have got it. They had several pressure cookers of that type but mostly they're made of aluminum which won't work on my range.
 
My preference would be just a simple cooker like the one I had while growing up. You can get the seals on eBay if you have a fairly popular one. You can get everything on eBay - especially pressure cooker parts.

What happens when the loony actually manages to get hold of a gun but gets
ignored because he's a known lunatic?
