That wasn't opera. It was just a song, composed as a standalone piece.
 
Opera is essential a play where all the dialog is sung. Obviously,
you can perform or record music from an opera without staging the
entire thing.

Isn't it funny how that works? Vulgar lyrics are A-OK, but people
choose to be offended by simple things. This is another example why I
can't fit in with today's culture and many people in my generation. I
don't understand what is the issue with Aldean's song. I recently
listened to it simply because of all the news hype over it.
 
"Baby, It's cold outside", is a case of younger people not comprehending
the change in societal norms. Younger people are now accustomed to
doing what they want, and not being concerned about the social
implications of staying over with an unmarried friend, so they assume
that the girl's being held against her will... when she's really only
being held up by peer pressure or imposed morals.

Folk music is probably my favorite genre. I need to go see Peter Yarrow
and Paul Stookey preform again before they throw in the towel. They are
only doing half a dozen or fewer shows per year now; Mostly all in and
around New England.

You could just replace that turntable although I wouldn't. Orbit turntables are pretty cool although I wouldn't buy one.

It's trivially easy to remove the tail at the table with a fork and a
butter knife. I can even manage to keep that little bit of meat inside
the tail attached to the rest of the shrimp.
 
As finger food, you'll just have to commit to losing that little bit of
the meat.

Next time use the butter on the fish and the pasta sauce on the
egg noodles.
 
Fish with spaghetti sauce - YUM! <BARF>
 
There are some good mediteranean fish (cod usuall;y) with a
tomato-and-other-stuff (olives, capers, etc..), but tis wasn't one
of them.

LIAR! You had over-cooked mystery fish smothered in spaghetti

That's not the issue. The question is why it's there.

God, I hate places that seasons, bread, batters, and/or sauces
and serves as a dish with the shells still in tact.
Those shrimp aren't evil cleaned or the EZ-Peel.

I have some cabbage. I'll plan on making some canned corn beef and cabbage. That's old style Hawaiian cooking. I tested out my old wok last night with some pork and eggplant. It was some fun. The eggplant was steamed first. I'll make a bigger batch tonight. I have to be careful with eggplant - my blood sugar dropped into the 50's so I was eating candy at 1 o'clock in the morning.
The same is true with bitter melon. I love eggplant and bitter melon. Unfortunately, bitter melon is going for $5.49/lb at the moment.

It looks great and I'm sure it tastes great. Just have a shower
afterwards or you'll be a shrimp for the rest of the day.

Here is a photo that was circulating on FB a few days ago. Provisions
for a WWII era battle ship. No wonder Sheldon only cooked in huge steam
kettles, and used the one qt saucepan as a pet food scoop. ;)

Thank you! Even the article writer didn't prefer it. And the one
person who did like it said it tasted like a meatball (just like
the oven-baked one tasted like a meatloaf - same thing).
DUUUUUUHHHH!
 
Stupid click-bait shit.

MUCH worse than the mildew smell or allergies,
is that high humidity (in winter too) can easily
lead to growth of toxic mould within walls, &c.
 
Usually a house so-infected needs to be demolished
despite being structually sound. Often you will also
need to junk most of the contents. (Furniture, books,
clothes, &c)

Humans aren't made to process ethanol, either. They're not "made"
in any way.
 
Northern Europeans evolved to tolerate lactose into adulthood. I
intend to take full advantage of that.

Yes, waste is a shame.

So your poor kid is denied butter, cheese, and ice cream, too?
Yep, she's gonna hate you when she gets older.

The money can come out of the proceeds of the estate.

I think you can probate a simple estate in Michigan just by filling
out some forms. I'll find out within a few years.
