Yes, I did use olive oil. I use olive oil for most things, appropriately or not. Except when I use toasted sesame oil (which definitely wouldn't work for frying latkes.

)

Ela

The latkes were delicious.

And now I smell like frying oil.

Ela

I sort of make latkes on the fly, so no particular recipe. I grate a lot of potatoes, a little bit of onion, and add some eggs, a little matzah meal, and some salt. But I couldn't say off the top of my head what the proportions are. This recipe looks similar to mine: http://www.kosherblog.net/2006/1...

It's latke night tonight.

Happy Hanukkah!

Wow, yeah, a blast from the past. I remember him being more at Hatrack than Pweb, but he did make some cool logos for some of the different armies mentioned in Ender's game. I still have a t-shirt with one of them that I bought at Endercon. He went by Naledge at Hatrack.

Not that I'm ever going to eat pulled pork.
Pulled pork is on my short list of favorite foods ever, not far behind bacon. You are missing out.

So be it. It's against my religion to eat pork.

Ela

They smoke a pork shoulder or other hunk of meat and then it's cut up or pulled apart. When prepared on a smaller scale the hand pulled pork is more common. Larger scale servings usually cut it up with knives.

Gotcha. Not that I'm ever going to eat pulled pork.

Ela

I still don't understand why it's called "pulled pork." Where's the pulling come in?

Ela

I could only understand isolated words of that.

Ela

That's mesmerizing.

An aptly named thread.

In the past month we picked up an iPad, which I still have yet to use for any real reading. I've done twitter, google Reader, Pweb, and the like on the iPad, but not a book. I'm not sure why. I do however, have a Kindle Touch on order that I'll be unwrapping come Christmas Day (it's my gift from my...

Ela

Nope. It's not weird at all. Some call it Natural Family Planning, and it's definitely not the rhythm method. I know a lot of women who have used it both to get pregnant and avoid getting pregnant. I've seen the latter (child spacing) used more in conjunction with breastfeeding, as completely breast...

Nice pics!

What really makes me laugh is the way the turkey vultures in downtown Miami hang around the courthouse. No kidding.

Ela

I've had chocolate stout but never chocolate MILK stout. Sounds very interesting.

Ela

They are fun books. My kids were just getting a bit obsessed with them for a while there. *laugh*

Ela

I'm rereading all of Animorphs . ...it's pretty much exactly how I remember, and it's the best nostalgia-bomb ever. That elicited an "Oh, good grief!" from me. I remember when my kids were so into Animorphs that I had to hide the books. *laugh* Not that I didn't read a few of them myself....

Ela

The eating 30 grams of protein makes sense to me. Protein holds your appetite in check longer than other types of foods, so you're not as tempted to overeat. Fruit is high in sugar, so that makes sense too. The bits about brief muscle contractions before and after meals and cold exposure sound gimmi...

Ela

So, did you get his book or are you basically following what's on the website you linked? I think I would have a hard time ditching as many carbs as he says. I eat mostly vegetarian and very little meat, so I'd be basically eating beans and veggies on that diet. Also, no milk??? Not even skim milk? ...

Ela

What about Hanukkah?

Ela

The entirety of NYC does not smell like urine/sewage, even in the summertime.

Which makes me wonder what neighborhoods you have been frequenting.

Ela

Everything would be so much better without dried banana chips. Gross.
Disagree. Very much disagree.

Dried banana chips are ok by me. As is banana bread and fried bananas.

Other banana flavored stuff (eg candy, gum and the like) - yucky.

Ela

I hate feeling like I'm coming down with a cold. I don't have time to be sick.

Maybe it's just allergies. Or lack of sleep.

Ela

More time in the day would be nice. I went from feeling like I had all the time in the world to feeling like I have next to none.

I am having a persistent problem of going to sleep too late and waking up too early, even when I could have slept late. Too much on my mind, once I'm up, I'm up.

Five hours of sleep a night just doesn't cut it for me.

I do really wish I had more time to be involved in this. I almost volunteered, but had to convince myself I would only be dead weight, which is probably closer to true than I like. I am thrilled for you folks taking this on.

This.

Looking forward to seeing what develops.

I present the Pweb Rubber Band Ball . Equally inaccurate, even harder to look at. (This one just has meet up connections.) Enough of that, back to trying to make this work. Pretty, even though it is inaccurate. :) Well, fill out the profile fields I added so it is accurate when I hook it up. I was ...

Most of the people I met were at EnderCon - Taalcon (Dave), Ollie, Locke, IdemosthenesI (where IS he?), Ethan (ditto), Steve S., Amka, Ela (and her kids), Papa Moose, Leto... I've been much met the same people as Luet. Looking at Windswept's moving dots made me realize that my list is incomplete. A...

(continuing derail)
The turn this thread took just made me think of this...

I just want to say that one should never link an xkcd comic this way.

xkcd is worthless without the mouseover.

Question: Why are some of the names in the list bolded? Just curious.
I believe at the time the list was made, the bolded names were actively posting members.

Yep. I don't think it's accurate anymore but at the time it was.

I added you, Ela.

Thanks.

Ela

This should probably go in the irrational irritations thread, but I get so annoyed when people repost things without checking if they're true or not first!!

Yes!

Ela

I already am. Or haven't you noticed?

But I expect RL to catch up with me soon. That's good for radically slowing down my posting.

This is good for procrastination value.

Ela

I didn't even remember ever posting in this thread till I saw it bumped. I should be in the Class of 2000, though. :) Question: Why are some of the names in the list bolded? Just curious. :) On the off-chance anyone else wishes to add, so Confessions isn't further derailed, I'm putting this here. I'...
