    What are your favourite liquours to use when building a caramel? Do you use Rum? I know others who don't use Rum at all, which seems impossible. I like a bit of Frangelico added.

    Still sounds more like a Harley than any bike I'll get. But that's just my own bullshit opinion. My bike is as quiet as a car, and it lets me hear the cars around me. That's a nice bike, though. I'd love to try it out. Looks like you sit up a lot more on it than most Harleys, too. Nice.

    I've got to tell you, and I mean no disrespect to anyone else's bike, but that's the prettiest Harley I've ever seen. Very nice! Black exhaust is beautiful, the line on the seat-pan surround is awesome. Like the blacked-out motor, too. Also glad to hear that it isn't loud like most...

    Boy... that escalated quickly

    This is a good post. Not because I'm being commended for parenting, for which I thank you, but because the reaction is right. The restaurant should have had your back better. Being reseated might have helped, but the restaurant should have done more for you. Don't go there again. Not...

    Absolutely fucking not. You're not a douche. You're a customer. Just like everyone else there. It turns out that there are unwritten rules about behaviour in public. If you have kids, you should learn them, or you should keep your fucking monster children at your home because you're too...

    A couple of things: With mileage like that, it's a virtually new bike. Keep the oil clean, do the maintenance, and those things will go 300K miles. Find a guy. A good guy. One who does BMW bikes for a living. He'll let you watch him do the maintenance. After one time, you'll do your...

    How many miles? It's a very nice bike. Comfortable, peppy enough for just about anyone, light enough to be an every day rider. Good mileage. If you're used to a more Harley style sitting position it will take you a while to get used to driving this, but in the end, you'll like it better...

    I don't know if this is a nude one, but it has potential. An oddly high number of curling women are hot. http://www.thecommunityfundraiser.co..._calendar.html

    I've been mighty happy with my tourmaster jacket/matching pants. Warm, but with lots of vents, so you can wear them in warm weather, too. http://www.amazon.com/Tourmaster-Tra...otorcycle+suit

    3 way switches are magic. I have the intellectual knowledge of how they work. I have wired them. I can make them work. Really, they decide on their own if they work, though. You made a switch into a 3 way switch? You're a genius. (That's the point of this post.)

    Yeah, flash freezing is important, and yeah, it's bloody hard to get non-frozen fish in most of the country. I wish I lived on the coast sometimes. Then I remember property prices on the coast, and I like where I live.

    That's the hard truth. People are trying to market "organic" food to those who are into the idea. Expensive shit that is the same as anything else. That's not quite what I'm talking about, though. I'm talking about true, farm-fresh produce, meat, and eggs. That's what I have access too. I...

    There may be an issue of training and opportunity, too. Having worked as a chef in very high-end restaurants in Toronto, I have experienced the very best cuts of meat very often. As with wine, if you become accustomed to very good, well crafted wines, it is hard to go to the cheap stuff...

    Don't cheat. A couple hours of fun is not a good enough reason to irrevocably change your life.

    Say what you like. I can taste a difference, and I've had both fresh and frozen on my plate at the same time. I could tell you which was which. Perhaps this is my superpower. I've been trying to figure out what my superpower is, after all. I'm "fresh meat man."
