I loved the idea of the small pastry pockets with onions. I am not a
huge fan of the texture of onions but I'd have given those pastries a
try. :)

Next time take a picture as I'd like to see one, please.

Do you mean foccacia?

No thanks.

I don't think she was talking about a crowd swarming.
 
I wouldn't serve a very large cold cut up deli meat sandwich to guests.
Just me. I like the looks of the small onion tarts. Mini quiches would
work nicely, too. Appetizers made with mini rounds of party rye bread
with ground Italian sausage and cheese are nice, too. Snack food.

Speaking as a motorist, a motorcyclist and bicyclist, I have to agree
that a portion of motorists definitely need to behave a little better,
but it is the pedestrians and bicyclists who have the highest
percentages exhibiting bad behaviour.
 
I live in an area that hosts bicycle races, so we are cursed with
cycling clubs practicing. Stop signs don't even exist for those guys.

We started learning French in Gr.7. In high school we were supposed to
take at least one language. They offered Latin,French, German and
Spanish. I took French and German.

Y'all live in a fascinating country, where your oven is spying on you
and talking to the FBI on a regular basis. Or maybe it's not a
country, but a state. A state of mind.

French is a great language, but I see your point for practical
reasons.

It's not spying on me, since it's not connected to WiFi. I don't need
any of the "smart" features, so I didn't bother.
 
Really, if I can't walk over to the oven to see if it's on, I might
as well stick my head in it.

The only purpose of other languages than English, is to piss off
Americans. And if English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough
for us.

I saw no reason to take a foreign language as I doubted I would visit those
countries where the offered languages were spoken. If I had visited any of
those countries I would not have been there long enough to be conversing on
an hourly basis with any of the natives.
 
Now that we are being swamped with Latinos, I can see where learning Spanish
would have been a benefit if I interacted with them daily.

Whoa, wait a minute there. You expect a person to walk from the living
room to the kitchen just to adjust an oven?
 
Seems silly to me to have an appliance on the wi-fi. Unless it can turn
the potatoes or baste the turkey, what is the use? I do have a shopping
list on my phone so I can add things as I run out or think of them.

Yes, I do have my shopping list on my phone. But it is ... just a list:))

Not just that. I could turn on my oven from my cell phone. But
I refuse to give it my WiFi password.

"Smart appliances" are the ones that are WiFi connected - can you
link to your refrigerator via your cell phone while at the market to see
if you need milk ?

LOL no! Nor do I want it to:)))) Thanks:)

In the last year we've gotten those electric scooters. Just this past week a
rider was killed through his own fault. He was riding on the sidewalk, which
is outlawed. He makes a sharp left off the sidewalk right out into traffic
without looking and gets pulverized by a Lyft driver. He lived about 2 days
before succumbing to his injuries. He was not a kid either, he was about 30
year old. It's not the first time these contraptions have been involved in
a serious accident. Every time it was the riders fault.

I think you see that everywhere. Running through red lights and stop signs
like they are invincible. What I find most annoying is the city has made
MANY bicycle only lanes throughout the city but you'll find 3 or more riding
abreast in the lanes meant for cars. Pedaling slowly so they can shoot the
breeze while holding up traffic.

Motorists might get a little more respect if THEY behaved as well!

No wait, to be fair, you don't waffle on until everybody's nodded off
or walked away.

It's the evolution of the human species. Man and machines will be together forever or until the machines kill us all.

I like to cooking stuff when I'm not around. Putting a roast in the oven overnight and waking up to a finished one is like magic. In this way can man master time.

Yes, there have been a lot of tornados. There was even one reported in
Savannah, GA last month. It destroyed a marina where they were about to
have some boat races. Tornados are almost unheard of here in this part
of the south.

For a truly cathartic experience try English mustard, if you haven't done
so already. A teaspoonful will blow your socks off!
 
Best bought powdered and mixed before use.

And how quickly did the weight come back when you started living
normally again?
