Is this a thing with cars now?

My heritage includes Dutch. The Dutch dip their french fries in mayonnaise rather than ketchup. Mayonnaise is delicious.

Pushing dough around with a hook or paddle in a loose bowl where it can move about easily does not put as much stress on the motor as pushing pasta dough through a set of rollers at a constant pace. I think the real problem is idiots who try to go too thin too quickly. If you use it carefully...

All of that said, in looking this up, I discovered that they have a ravioli maker. I may have to get one.

Tony Hawk jumping a moving car.

Actually, Kitchenaid finds ways to wriggle out of this. They say that pasta makers put undue stress on the motor when used "improperly," and they're quite pissy about it.

To be honest, I'd loan out my helpers so I could make pasta alone...

Yeah, variance in thickness is pretty important with more delicate pastas. Also, using your kitchen aid for pasta is a pretty good way to burn out the motor. I know for a fact that many people have done this. A hand crank is my preferred method, but I have many little helpers to catch the...

Yeah, the dried stuff is so cheap and easy, and you still come out with a good meal. It's fun to make fresh pasta sometimes, though, and it does taste better. Going to try Gordon Ramsay's pork chops with sweet and sour peppers tonight. Looks tasty to me. Gordons Pork Chops with Sweet and...

Go and start a weird food thread.

I recently procured some squid ink, and I'm going to make squid ink linguine this weekend. I love the salty flavour of the pasta when it is done this way. Hopefully mine come out as nice as this:

I hate the Kings. That is all.

Stop speaking as thought people have common sense. sheesh.

Hiding in bushes outside your crush's house, waiting for her to take a shower, and watching through the window. It's awesome.

Yeah, we're talking to his teachers about this. They obviously have more experience in issues of this matter. When we talked, and showed the out of school things that we're doing, they backed right off. He's in a public school where there are a lot of parents who don't do extra curricular...

Yeah, but in the mean time let's subject him to boredom in the classroom?

So we're having an issue that's not really a bad issue, but it's something to think about. My youngest kid just turned six, is finishing Kindergarten. His teachers are strongly recommending that he skip first grade, as he's doing second grade math and reading already now. They're afraid he's...

Yeah, not even cake pops. No love of chocolate, or ice cream, or anything. Give me a cheese course for dessert. That's better for me!

Sorry. I should have said I don't care for sweet foods.

I got some apple scrapple bread (or what ever it is called) from The Bread Smith, and made French Toast with that. Family loved it. I don't care for sweet desserts, but the flavours were good.

Yeah, a pretty curious decision to call up a complete novice in playoffs.

Montreal isn't doing so badly here, but Lundqvist is being unbelievable. The penalty called on Montreal that resulted in goal #3 for the Rangers seemed to be rather a bullshit call. Going into second intermission down by 2. Could be worse. But with the pressure up front Montreal has been...

There is no game. You're sitting in your mother's basement in your underwear arguing with the likes of tanoomba. Boom.

That's a sweet saw. I have this bad boy: I got the 12 inch because I have very deep trim throughout my house. Deep enough that a 10 inch saw wouldn't cut it. I also have a Dewalt sawsall, craftsman table saw, craftsman jig saw, off-brand 14" band saw from Harbour Freight (which is...

Surely not even to Tuco himself! For shame.

Might as well get a good one.

Clearly you were being 100% serious when you said it. Obviously I was being just as serious when I replied. Please, continue to take everything here very seriously.

My nutsack gets quite a lot closer to the water than it used to when I sit down. Gravity is a bitch.

You should probably stop having sex with men. I think you owe it to yourself.
