Posted: 7/11/2007 9:40:06 PM | Windkist, I have heard about the sofa surfing thing. It made sense and I think sometime in my life, if it’s still around, I’ll give it a go.
I have let boiled eggs go as I thought I heated them up enough to cool and pull to the side to finish up cooking. Not! What gave it away for me were the odors from sulfur gases and then what really got me up and running was the popping noises of the egg shells. Interesting.
I have also left pots on where nothing was left in them but the bottom of the pot was as red as the electric burner elements. I remember grabbing it quickly as I thought if it didn’t weld yet I could separate them, the pot and the burner. It worked!
The best one was where I was poaching whole fish in white wine, Chardonnay, and I forgot to preheat the wine topless on the stove to let the alcohol burn off for the most part. I had all this stuff sitting in one of those ceramic covered metal pans with a top that you could easily fit a 26 lbs turkey in. I was sitting there, minding my own business, when I heard an Earth Shattering Explosion! It rocked the whole apartment complex. Man, and my smoke alarm was going off I thought, as my hearing was very much impaired from the explosion. I walked to the front door, a full 6’ sliding glass door, and looked out. Others were too. Interesting. Nothing going on outside. Oops, yep, in my kitchen there was this weird haze floating in the air. I went that way quick knowing that I did have something in the oven. It blew the door off, thankfully I am mechanically inclined, and that haze smelled and tasted great! The fish wasn’t all over the place but it was still in the pot thing sitting on the oven door in the middle of the floor. I had to act quicker than I was already to keep the door from burning the floor. It was cool on the out side of the door but the inside, top up, was hot! So was the pan of whole fish swimming in that Chardonnay. I picked the pan up and put the lid back on, didn’t fit all that well anymore, and put it in the oven. Got my tools and put that door back on. Heated up the fish safely and it came out nice.
The apartment had that nice wine smell to it for over a week. Great stuff!
Windkist, I like putting bananas in my oatmeal! Honey too! I will have to try Chocolate Pudding! Good idea! Don’t know why I never thought of that!
Windkist, I don’t know about using straws for sexual prowess. Maybe you ladies would find something to do with them. LOL
Hey Kelly, if you do make oatmeal it’s okay if it explodes, less ceiling work to be done.
I wouldn’t use that Teflon pan anymore, once it does separate from the pan or even from too much heat it turns brown which means it has lost it’s ability to hold in the bad stuff and has Out Gassed all it has and will then start to release the Teflon and other chemicals into everything you cook in it from then on.
Nonstick pots and pans are great but their life span is short compared to stick pots and pans. I think that’s what you would call them. If you keep the nonstick pans on low heats they can last awhile. I just tossed one that I had for 9 years. I stupidly started using it to heat up water and cook pasta in, it’s big and held everything easily. I forgot about it and all the water burnt and most of the pasta in there too. Let it cool and tossed it out. Maybe I’ll just use my Huge Stock Pot from now on,
Now Genre, I’ve never come close to your thing. Well, I did live above this guy that came home and put on some bacon grease to make eggs and then went and took a nap. I was the first one to notice, living right above him, as the black smoke came roiling in setting off my smoke detector and I got out of there fast banging on doors to get people out, first the apartment manager, right next to this guy, she called the fire department.
There we all were standing in various stages of dress on the sidewalk watching the Fire Fighters escort the old coot out to the Ambulance. They said his bedroom didn’t have any smoke as it was all going up. He was sound asleep. They also said that if he had left the battery in the smoke detector things wouldn’t have gotten out of hand. All smoke damage and nothing more, must have put a lot of bacon grease in that pan.
I have burnt to a nice black crisp carcass a rack of baby back ribs. I had the BBQ turned down to one burner and the rack was all the way over on the other side. Pretty interesting. I watch now!
Mmmm… yummy…. Cornbread….
I’ve burned a bag of popcorn in the microwave oven. Thought I had only punched in 2:38 minutes. I punched in 22:38 minutes. That was really smoky. I put that in the sink, opened the windows and turned on the fans and doused that with water. Hold heat a long time.
Chocolate Pudding. Ah, good things come precooked in nice tubs with Kozy Shack on them ready to be eaten!  
Thanks,
Eddie | |

Posted: 7/12/2007 5:59:36 PM | | First I'd like to ask what happened to windkist?,Think I may have to put an insurance claim in for the fire, Not sure yet, Put a claim in years ago for a carpet and my insurance went up, I'll call and see what the consquences maybe. Not hard to fix it up myself but hey what is insurance for. | |

Posted: 7/12/2007 7:31:23 PM | | I don't know what happened, Livinlife. She e-mailed me and said that she closed her account and for me to mail her at her personal account. I'm still waiting to hear back from her. | |

I've known for a whole week! It feels that long, can't say... OOOPS... She won the Lottery!
So, how's the weather there?
The Penis Study
The American Government funded a study to see why the head of a man's Penis was larger than the shaft. After 1 year and $180,000, they concluded that the reason that the head was larger than the shaft was to give the man more pleasure during sex.
After the US published the study, the French decided to do their own study. After $250,000 and 3 years of research, they concluded that the reason the head was larger than the shaft was to give the woman more pleasure during sex.
Canadians, unsatisfied with these findings, conducted their own study. After 2 weeks and a cost of around $75.46, and 2 cases of beer, they concluded that it was to keep a man's hand from flying off and hitting himself in the forehead.
Ah, Canadians, the world wouldn't turn if it wasn't for them!
I'm cooking up another roast!
Corn on the cob too, still in the husks!
Just watered my backyard. We have a lot of slugs and spiders here in the NW.

Hey Kelly, is that a snow ball you're hefting around there in your right hand, or are you happy to see yourself? 
I think that study was funny and that the Canadians really got to the top of the issue.
I wonder how many French guys knocked themselves out to come to the conclusion that it helps the ladies feel better?
Pencils don't have crowning heads.
Tee Hee!

Posted: 7/14/2007 5:26:55 PM | Well I could do my own study, nice to get paid lots to do it ..ha ha ha, We canadians would find the simple and obvious reason, Mind you I think the french were right:)
You forgot I'm a lefty..lmao | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 6:20:59 PM | Hey, not like I needed to know that, politics has little to do with it.
It would be cool if they had programmable emoticons.
I would have a Chocolate Pudding one for sure, maybe bare foot running around, flying, BBQ and burping. Maybe barfing if okra is in the conversation.
All Canadians that I have known and worked with were all straight up and straight forward, a refreshing time.
We should be hearing from Windkist some time soon this weekend or later when she has computer access. That will be nice! HI WindKist!
She has some neat doggies!

Posted: 7/15/2007 12:31:41 AM | Kelly,
I recieve emails from guys. Maybe it is the smoking thing. Or you're gay. You never know till it's too late. Out fishing and all of a sudden instead of thinking about catching so many fish, gutting them and then sitting back and enjoying them from an open fire sucking on a nice cold beer or juice your mind starts thinking about laying down doilies and tucking in your shirt and stuff like that.
Be on the look out! That's all I'm saying!
I did put you in my favorites so that might help out emailing.
Yeah, Windkist will be back shortly, took some bad advise on things. Funny stuff.
Windkist, you sure would be a nice person to meet!

Posted: 7/15/2007 12:26:39 PM | you guys are a riot.
Told my kitchen story (s) on another thread, but...i did that micro a tater thing, accidently pushed too many times on time thing. Went in my bedroom, where smoke alarm is...20 mins later open door, to floods of smoke..that alarm still didn't make a peep.
The glass in micro was broken in 3 pieces with the black n red burnin embers of that tater. Was afraid to touch it, lest it blow up, just let it burn out.
Had a spendy fancy Farberware (?) pan with a special layer of some kind of metal on bottom. Steamin brocalli , I swear I had enuf water in there, but,,NO! When I picked it up off burner,,,it made the most amazin ..is it stalagtites or mites? | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 8:45:01 PM | You know what they say about the bad penny...............
Ok I did not win the lottery. If I had, we would ALL be on a plan to some place really cool for a humungus party!! There would be a pool filled with chocolate pudding, a hot tub full of honey, a slip n slide filled with oil, vats of expensive rare wines, chocolates and sarongs for all the men to wear!! We ladies would all have fancy hats with flowers and feathers, and feather boas while we're at it! LOL
I did however listen to someone who said you don't have to have a profile to do the forums. And since I have been very ahem..unhappy with the results of having a profile, I said, that sounds like a good plan to me. Ditch the useless profile and still do forums.....sigh........things are never that easy.
The Penis Study - cracked me up! I would like to know just exactly what they did to research this one! LOL
Kelly, don't knock it, everyone loves Canadians, so the jokes, small price to pay. No one likes folks from Maine for example....but you Canadians, everyone buys you beer and sends you frilly shirts and looks for your kitchens to catch on fire !! :O) And we love to hear you talk to!!
Ok now it is time for all to confess....do you have any body piercings? Myself, only my ears...don't think I could stand the pain for more....but I'm curious to know if any of you has been able to withstand the pain of body piercing and if so, what did you have done??? | |
|
| The Maine Point
Posted: 7/15/2007 9:12:44 PM | I only have one piercing, Hardly worth mentioning. it was on my penis till the ex ripped it out. Very painfull, not as bad as bobit but hey.
K I made all that up. Sounded funny | |

kowteng SHE LIVES! Glad to have you back! | |
|
| The Maine Point
Posted: 7/16/2007 5:44:34 AM | Genre- yes! LOL "SHE LIVES" LOL Crazy as all get out but still amongst the living!
Have to remember to ask people for advice and then throw the advice away! Woulda saved me some aggravation! LOL
Kow-Teng means great expectations, aint that a hoot for a site like this?!?!? LOL
Kelly, that's too funny! Have to say, I have never understood the whole concept, one acquaintance's boyfriend had a piercing on his wanger, and well, I just shuddered. Surely, that would have to hurt like heck doing the wild thing?? I can't imagine it being pleasant for the woman involved.....but I'm from Maine, what do I know?!?!? and wouldn't it hurt like heck for the guy while it's being pierced? Gotta take some kind of something something for him to let some big burly dude grab his wanger and apply a needle to it!! EWWW!!! I'll bet Eddie will be able to educate us fully on this subject seeing as how he's so much older and wider than the rest of us!!
And you guys are confusing the heck out of me?? Are you guys gay?? It's ok, but give me a clue would ya?!? Remember I live under a rock and am blonde too.....explain slowly.....

Posted: 7/16/2007 6:08:41 AM | Kelly- you just reminded me of something.......
When married men hit on me (and you'd be surprised how often) as soon as I find out they're married, I ALWAYS tell them that Lorena Bobbit is my closest friend!! They back off quickly once they think about it!! | |
|
| The Maine Point
Posted: 7/16/2007 2:00:58 PM | Kow-Teng, I cringe at the word "vasectomy," I don't know how anyone could get a piercing in such a sensitive area....owie, owie, owie says Rae, legs crossed.
On a lighter and happier note, Lorena..... I mean Kow-Teng, I think I'm getting a little sister for my little guy. I'm so excited. She's being rescued from a puppy mill in N. Carolina and will be flown to San Francisco. I would drive down to pick her up. They think she's 2 or 3 years old. It could be up to a month before they get her to S.F., but that's ok. They need to do all of the health and temperament checks. Keep you fingers crossed that she and my little guy are ok together. He does fine with other dogs, and they say that she does too. He just gets a bit aggressive with his food, but as long as you feed the other dog in another room, he's ok. | |

Posted: 7/16/2007 4:32:49 PM | Congrats to you Genre!!! A blessed event in the making! Yeah!! And a rescue at that! Awesome!! Of course they'll get along together, just remember to give treats and pats to HIM first, so he doesn't feel his position is being taken. Pecking order is important in a pack. :O) I'm pretty good with animal pysch stuff so if you have problems, just ask.
Sable and Conan have grown so much. No new photos yet, but probably next week. Sable is quite well, unable to handle much stress yet! LOL If Cheyenne steps on her toes she cries loudly and runs for the dog house or under the steps. Conan just gets up and looks for more! I was working with her some this weekend, but honestly, she does carry on so! Even Henry (younger brother) found her antics just a bit much, and laughed at her.
The weather in Maine Saturday was glorious. All day long. There was even some rain before I arrived Friday night so had half a barrel of fresh rainwater. Plus Henry brought 12 five gallon buckets with him! LOL I told him that would do for 2-3 weeks so not to bring more for a while! LOL
Butterflies are everywhere! It's just so peaceful during the heat of the day, noon-4 because all the little creatures are resting. Then the squirrels and chipmunks start hurling obscenities at eachother, the blue jays and the ravens start screaming and the peace ends until dusk when the threat of the owls makes everyone still and quiet.
Eddie, I think you'd be wicked fun to meet ! Actually, I'd like a party with Genre, Kelly, you, me and a few others from POF! LOL
ttfn! | |

I'm pretty good with animal pysch stuff so if you have problems, just ask. I'll be picking your brain for pointers. All of my dogs have been rescues, even the little guy I have now. The difference in him and the other rescues is that I know who his breeder is and she still has him mom and dad. He was relinquished to rescue when his human mom became incapacitated from cancer. The rescue coordinator who I was listed with has his grandmother. She and the breeder are active with the rescue foundation. I may deal with some seperation anxiety issues with the new little girl, but I'm fortunate to be able to take her to work with me from time to time and give her a little bit of extra nurturing. | |

Posted: 7/16/2007 6:52:40 PM | I envy you too for having young pups, just not for me at the moment, Bear has really show his age in the last 3 or 4 months, He's 13, When he wakes up he is really groggy, and stiff I think, Hey not that stiff, Shesh I knew you were thinking it. He is hard of hearing now, I call him but he has no idea where I am, Feel bad for the old guy, he has recently gotten a lump growing on his eye lid, I checked him for others but he seems ok. He's not a typical chow, bit of a suck really, I don't think he's a purebred, supposed to be, but does'nt matter, he's just Bear to me. Many purebreds are so inbred they should play banjo's. Can be untrusting dogs I think. JMO.
Hope you get that new pup genre, Dad would like me to get a pup for hunting, what a differance using dogs for it, Just not in the picture at the moment. Really bear was my ex's dog, I went to a pink floyd concert with out her, was a guy thing, came home and there was bear. She could not take him when it ended, So I stipulated int the separation agreement he was to stay with me, Stupid lawyer had visiting arangements made up, I laughed and said f that , it wasw no big deal, just wanted it clear, guess some people demand such things. Not us we had a good split really. | |

Posted: 7/16/2007 9:01:10 PM | Eddie has been awfully quiet....new job must be keeping him busy....or maybe the fact we haven't mentioned chocolate pudding in a while has something to do with it??
Genre can't wait to see photos of your new baby!! Does she have a name, or will you change it when you get her??
Kelly, it's so hard when they get old. 13 years is when they just start to seem human. They can read us so well, in tune to our every emotion. Mirror of our moods. It's heart wrenching when they leave us. I don't envy your position right now. What breed of hunting dog would you consider if you were going to? (What type of hunting? Birds??) I know some southern states allow deer hunting with dogs, does Canada do that?
You prolly should hold of on getting another one, at least til you've gone 3 months without a kitchen fire! LOL | |

Posted: 7/17/2007 12:11:40 PM | | Not sure what kind of dog I would get, C*ckapoo's are actually good hunting dogs and none allergetic, My dad had one, best deer dog I ever saw, would not run them too far like a hound would, Bear was the same, I took him last year but with his bad hearing, he would get kinda lost and start barking to find me. Our success rate hunting with dogs went up big time, Hard with out them but not sure its the right time to get another, I travel alot and hate depending on other people to look after Bear, usually my parents and they are 2.5 hrs away.Tough when your dating too. In my opinion muts are the best, A bit of mixture is good. | |
