Clitoral vs. Vaginal orgasms
Posted:
10/27/2009 9:10:32 AM
I am going to be honest; I didn't read the other responses.
That is the key.
NO 2 women are the same
~You will never orgasm for the same reason
~ You will never have identical turn ons
So why are we comparing our orgasms?
Regardless the skill of your lover, some women will never find sexual fulfillment.
Some women would prefer a "lights off, get it over and done with" scenario
Some women are just as they seem.
The key to sexual pizazz is wanting it for you first. Be alone. Learn your body. Get over your hangups now. If the man is following you to bed and telling you that your ass ate Manhattan..ditch him. There is always smarter/funnier/better out there.
As for me?
Know that there are many types..but I am old school.
Clitoral ~ it is NOT an eraser, more like a kitten ( slow soft strokes..NOT rub it off)
G-Spot ~ GENTLY!!! crook your finger if you cant find it by 2nd knuckle..START AGAIN!
Cervical/Vagina; ~ When you touch you know
SMART MEN
Will let the woman ride if she is sexy smart ~ combines the 3 O's...

help me with wild duck breasts
Posted:
10/27/2009 8:30:17 AM
Asian Crispy Duck with a kick
Flavour is what you percieve..so no measurements, just ingredients
Duck cut into 3inch cubes, with scored fat
Marinade
Ketjap Manis
Garlic
Lime juice
lemon rind
ginger
coriander
Leave duck chunks to marinate no longer than 20mins.
Remove from marinade, dredge in seasoned plain flour
Submerge in hot oil..not boiling as duck has high fat capacity. (oil hot enough that when you place a cube of bread..it takes 3mins or so to golden)
When skin develops crust..remove and dredge in mix of chilli flakes, lime juice, garlic, sea salt and cracked pepper mixed with flour
Submerge no longer than 30 secs per piece
the last dredge is the most important
salt
sugar
rice wine vinegar
garlic
lime rind
chilli (fresh)
chilli flakes
ginger
black pepper
rice flour
then submerge til dark crisp

Didn't hear from her for a day.First time in over two weeks that I didn't talk with her at least once a day.Knew something not good was up.[/q]

Anyone else a phyllo/filo/fillo pastry fan???

10/1/2009 7:02:45 AM
Im finding it a little more difficult to source here Jo & Im in Cairns. Its incredibly fine, my guy thought it was shredded coconut at first lol.
I managed to get it through a greek deli finally, though I am told that Woolworths, Coles & IGA's can stock it at request.
The prwns are sooo worth it..

To everyone love is different, ergo, undefinable.
For me, however, it is an instinct. It doesnt mean a lot if they are the type that I am normally attracted to physically..what matters is the connection, the chemisrty, the sex appeal.
Ive had great love twice..and from the first kiss, I knew that this was the one I craved, like Id found something I was missing. Pit of stomach, butterflies and of course huge chemistry.
You also need the friendship, love isnt just sex..if you cant be each others best friend, then it isnt love.
Just my 2 cents worth on what it means to me

We just had amazing kataifi prawns the other night, so I replicated the dish at home..yummm!
(Kataifi is a shredded filo pastry)
Marinate slightly butterflied prawns (as many as you choose) in garlic, chilli, ginger and lime juice for 5-10mins. (No real recipe, if you love more chilli than ginger..use more/less of each etc).
Take a small amount of Kataifi (it looks similar to very fine fairy floss), lay the prawn at the very end of the kataifi, and roll tightly.
Heat oil in a deep fryer and fry til golden and crispy (approx 5mins)
Serve with garlic aioli

Beer and Lime grilled chicken
Posted:
7/21/2009 9:00:03 AM
I still haven't tried the beer butt chicken, though its high on my to do list (just like George clooney, but I digress).
Sorry Ryan, I didn't get into details about my tequila soaked chicken but here are some rules of thumb if your interested.
2 limes juiced
1 lime zested
1-2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
sliced chilli (add as much or as little as you please. I tend to stick with serrano or jalepeno for this recipe as the flavour works with tequila)
tequila*
*Add tequila according to your taste. If you want a quick flavour hit ..fill a syringe with the tequila (or any flavour base you like) and inject a few squirts into the meat just before grilling.
Dont get all funny about asking a pharmacist for the syringe, tell them the type of meat you are using and they can often recommend the size & even a recipe!
**Do Not season with salt until cooking**

Do you risotto?
Posted:
7/14/2009 11:30:13 AM
How are you making your basil risotto?
You are on the right track to make a plain one then add..thats when you add your processed basil, olive oil etc (like pecorino & sage)..(make sure your risotto is off the heat first

Do you risotto?
Posted:
7/14/2009 10:17:20 AM
I love chicken, spinach and white wine risotto with 3 cheeses.
Sounds rich, but if made properly it has an incredibly "more-ish" quality.
I tend to use butter (margarine) more than Olive Oil in Risotto, personal choice maybe?

Beer and Lime grilled chicken
Posted:
7/14/2009 10:09:21 AM
That sounds great to me "Cool" :)
Personally I stick to a max 30 min marinade rule with chicken or fish when you are using an acidic base, or it starts the cooking process. A great way to marinate though, is to pop the chicken breast & marinade into a freezer bag and of course, freeze straight away. That way as it thaws, the marinade continues to soak in without cooking the meat.
I love doing Tequila soaked Chicken & serving it with either my brown rice salad or in a tortilla with salsa.

Please Somebody, I beg you.. Yes you!? review my profile!
Posted:
6/12/2009 7:47:40 PM
Wow.
You really aimed for the geeky, offbeat humour and came off at the off ramp didn't ya?
I like cute geeky when it is witty and original. Sad to say (actually I am not sad, I’m rather smug); you have not found a genre that suits you.
The "dumbest person in America" crown was already a tie with your former Pres & Paris; you constantly mentioning that you are that dumb has not only lowered my IQ by reading it, but increased your "WTH' factor.
Your introduction of no drama queens, no PMDD, is harsh yet fair. You want a girl that can spell better than you? Let’s hope she knows how to use parentheses, commas, full stops and stops your addiction of ellipses, exclamation marks and sentences that end with a preposition or a dumbass smiley :D (Sarcasm kiddo, sarcasm).
If you want to go completely offbeat in your profile, I think it’s great. Your balance of sincerity and goofy doesn’t work, but hey, if you have so many women loving it, why ask for a review?
Trolling is so yesteryear. Or Yore.

what to wear at a funeral.
Posted:
6/12/2009 7:09:54 PM
Maybe I am the odd one out here?
Whilst I am all for celebrating & commemorating someones life; I personally stick with muted tones out of respect for the family, not the deceased.
I can tell you honestly if I had walked into my mothers funeral (can't say I noticed much at my hubby's) and had seen somebody dressed to make me laugh I wouldnt have appreciated it in the slightest.
At the wake, probably I would have found it funny; but to me, there is no light in a situation for the family at the church/funeral home/cemetery; so for me it will always be muted colours out of respect and at the wake, out come the turquoise shoes along with the memories.

Girls(and guys) do you discuss your sex toys?
Posted:
2/24/2009 5:25:39 AM
If a man feels threatened by a toy, why aren't we threatened by his hand?
A toy is simply that, it doesnt replace, it enhances, fun
Be comfortable enough in yourself to talk about it. Incorporate it into your sex life; it's so much more fun lol.
If he/she can't handle your toys they shouldn't be playing with you in the first place

homemade hamburgers help please
Posted:
2/24/2009 5:03:27 AM
Depends what type of mince you are using. Here in Oz we have heart smart (less than 10% fat, lean (less than 15%) and regular which is quite fatty.
If the mince is fatty, you dont need to add as much liquid ingredients, such as sauces, egg, butter etc. Most sauces have a decent amount of salt in them which draws moisture from the meat, so adding extra isnt neccesary.
If you are using a leaner mince, still nix the butter. No need for it. If you want the buttery taste, cook it in a little instead of oil.
I make mine with lean mince, sm amount of grated onion (for moisture), oregano, garlic, thyme and a small dash of tomato paste & w/shire . You want the patties to be firm, not sloppy or feel too moist. The salt in the sauces, the fat in the meat & the juice of the onions all need to escape. Place burgers in fridge for at least 30mins before cooking, helps them to bind.

Best Kitchen Tricks
Posted:
2/24/2009 4:44:59 AM
There are still many arguments over wood vs plastic when it comes to chopping boards.
I keep one for raw meats, one for fruits & vegies and one for strong flavours such as garlic, chilli, ginger etc.
My personal preference is a wooden board, old habits die hard I guess lol. Don't go for the "attractive" glass boards, you will just dull your knives.

A great free site that has many different menu options, calorie/carb/fibre/fat counters, excercise progrmas and a daily tracker is
www.sparkpeople.com
This is a free sight and if you are an Aussie, it doesnt take much to convert cals to kjs for tracking purposes
You can also store your fave recipes there and it will calculate the cals etc per serve

Lasanga
Posted:
8/14/2008 11:50:53 AM
Yup you may all hate me for this but its easy & you can eat it straight from the oven
If you are using dried lasagne sheets (which I assume you are)...dont pre-cook them. The moisture from the meat, combined with the heat cooks the lasagne sheets perfectly..as always cooking for at least 40mins to develop flavours
Layers can be in the order you prefer; for me its pasta, bolognaise, bechamel & repeat til dish is full.
(If you want the actual recipes for each just send me a msg )
Garlic bread
I prefer a baguette although ciabatta works well.
Roast 6-8 garlic cloves in oven until soft (pop in with lasagne to save time)
Slice bread into inch thick slices (vary to suit you)
When garlic is roasted and cool, brush each slice of bread (front & back) with either melted butter or Extra Virgin Olive Oil; then rub garlic over bread to your liking.
Sprinke with a little dried oregano & cracked black pepper & enclose in foil
Cook with the last 20 mins of lasagne, opening the top at last 5 mins for crispy top (here is where you can add parmesan cheese to the crust if you choose )
Dessert
If you want a true Italian theme then go for Zambaglione or Tiramisu; however I prefer Panna Cotta with raspberry coullis (again yell out if you need the recipe)

Choc/Walnut Delight
Ingredients (serves 6)
* 250g plain flour
* 25g icing sugar, plus extra to dust
* 175g cold butter
* 3 large eggs
* 175g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
* 120g walnuts, lightly toasted
* 170g caster sugar
* 1 egg yolk
***
Chocolate fudge sauce
* 3 1/2 cups sugar
* 175g cocoa powder
* 75g unsalted butter
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Sift the flour and icing sugar into a medium bowl, add the butter and a pinch of salt. Use your fingers to rub together until it resembles fine breadcrumbs (or use a food processor). Add 1 whole egg and mix together until you have a smooth dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Wizz the chocolate and walnuts in a food processor until they are crumbly but not chunky, , place in a bowl and add the caster sugar and remaining whole eggs. Stir to combine.
3. Bring the pastry to room temperature and reserve one third for the lid. Roll out the remaining pastry on a lightly floured surface to 1/2cm thick and use to line a 11 x 36cm lightly greased loose-bottomed tart pan (check for leaks).
4. Roll out the reserved pastry to 1/2cm thick. Pour the filling onto the pastry base, moisten the edges with a little water and carefully place the pastry on top. Gently press edges together to seal, and trim any excess pastry. Make small slits in the lid to allow steam to escape.
5. Beat the egg yolk with a little water and brush over top of tart. Bake for 35 minutes until golden.Set aside in the pan to cool then transfer to a serving plate and dust with icing sugar. Serve sliced with chocolate fudge sauce and cream.
***6. Chocolate fudge sauce: Place sugar in a pan with 3 1/2 cups of water. Cook over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 15 minutes then whisk in sifted cocoa powder. Simmer for 10 minutes, add butter and stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool.

Can somone review my profile...
Posted:
5/17/2008 12:04:03 PM
Tom
Heres my perspective
Your
headline
is roughly as cliche as using the phrase
I like long walks on the beach at sunset, protecting dolphins from sharks , then rescuing children stuck in wells"
~ tend not not like cliches. If we wanted a cliche we could watch a Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movie.
Your headline should be original. Make us want to answer you.
In your
interests
you tell us
Radio [will explain when we chat] ~ does that mean you will walk me step by step through Marconi's invention, or just your interest either in the music, 2~way or "ham"?
About Me
~ Lose the age & location. Thats already been mentioned & I am sure you are more interesting that just that.
Please, please, please learn to capitalise & use your punctuation. Run your profile through a spell check. Reading it otherwise makes me wonder ...well, why?
Far too excited with all of your exclamation points. Is your life that thrilling or do you just like to get a point through? Either way I tend to find it a little annoying.
To be honest Tom... you need to lighten up a bit I think. You are young so why not have fun & just see where the relationships take you; instead of wanting something so serious immediately (which is how it reads)
Life is not a race
Happy

Wow I can say that I have never had pineapple in spaghetti bolognaise. I would try it but not sure it could become a passion of mine lol.
My bolognaise has red wine, oregano, thyme, basil, marjoram, onion, red capsicum (pepper), garlic, tomato (fresh & paste), rosemary, dash of sage, pepper, good quality beef...erm & a lot of white wine for me as it simmers for a few hrs.
~Variation~ add fresh finely diced chillies to taste
~ Variation ~ add shredded carrot & finely diced celery
Serve with spaghetti & fresh grated cheese of choice..oh & bread!

Soften onions & garlic over low heat in a little oil (1T ) then add in your cumin, chilli, (hopefully adding coriander & paprika) & stir for a minute or until fragrant.
Then add meat, coating in spices, juice of 1 lime and cook through.
I usually add sliced haberneros. scotch bonnets & jalepenos when the meat is just cooked through, then add a chopped ripe tomato & a little oregano.
Add seasoning last of all... raw meat should never be seasoned unless it is cooked immediately.

Kitchen staples...
Posted:
4/20/2008 1:25:20 PM
Congrats on the move! Before you become over zealous with pantry stock, look at the types of food you are likely to cook often and those ingredients should be in your staples.
Everyone has different staples, I wouldn't consider baking ingedients inc sugar as part as my staples, though others would.
The best guess is, choose what you use.
~ Garlic
~ Onions
~ Chillies
~ Oregano
~ Rice (brown & basmati)
~ Stock cubes (bullion(sp?) cubes to you guys?)
~ Peppercorns & Sea salt
~ Tomato paste
~ Tinned tomatoes
~ Vinegar (white & balsamic)
~ Oil (sunflower is multi purpose and cheaper than EVOO)
~ Thyme
~ Paprika
~ Lemons
~ Pasta
~ Mixed frozen veggies
~ Worcestershire Sauce
With those, there are loads of meals that are just waiting to be cooked...or better yet, experimented with.

We may be in a tad of trouble here if we only ate Gulf oysters & TX brown shrimp!

EasyOver,
I just ...ahhhhmm...caugghhhh...pfffft ...really?
Headline
~
Does this look infected!!!
..well it was enough to make me feel ill...that has to count.
Why, why, why would you want to say that? Not only does it have the ability to make one nauseous, it is also grammatically incorrect.
Try funny, try actually anything else.
Pictures
~ Ok so you make reference to the fact you look like a robot or a psycho killer. Wow...that alone has won my heart.
Try smiling, it has the amazing ability of covering up homicidal tendencies. Not glaring could also help you out there.
If you aren't happy about being in your picture...why should we be excited about you?
But seriously, I am looking for someone smart and fun that can engage me on a mental level and complete me as a person. Someone who can carry a conversation and DOES NOT Tivo American Idol (once in a while is forgiveable). I am very stable at times but also impulsive at others. I could be watching Formuia 1 on TV one minute and switch the channel and watch Antiques roadshow .
At the risk of sounding like Dr.Phil; noone can complete you, you have to learn to do that alone. Compliment you, sure.
So we can't Tivo American Idol but you are the wild child of TV watching ...sport or antiques? Wow, slow down buddy, may not keep up here!
Work out what you want, then write just that. Saying you want to carry a conversation...then mention 2 TV shows is not sending me the right message. TV Guide is not a book, no matter what Homer says
Sometime back I was abducted by aliens and my spine was replaced with metallic rod, so.. yeah I cant dance.
Why did I know there would be an alien reference?
Not funny, not even in a cute, dorky, geeky way (which happens to be my favourite way).
Not being able to dance is cute...mention crushing toes, the "bus stop etc"...thats a great way to say "I can't dance, but for you I will try".
that is if you get over my Psycho-killer good looks.
Nooooooo. No. No. No.
Sit over a cup of coffee (or a glass of merlot) at a non-chain coffee house,talk and try to get over the awkwardness of the whole situation.
...it's only going to be awkward if you make it so. Don't advertise that you expect it to be. Make it a little quirky...and have a list of different topics in case of "those" moments.
Oh...just don't mention robots, aliens or psycho killers unless the date is going terrible...then go for it.
Happy

Dave,
Ahhh the
headline
..the folly of most mortals
Seriously... inject something into it instead of generic "Do you"?
Your
pictures
are fantastic...rotate them often to keep us on our toes. Would love to see the picture of you on the boat pop up as your
main
pic soon.
Again I will say this...cannot stand pictures of kids on profiles. When they are 18 & allow you to post their pics on the internet...fine...'til then, how about "erm NO!"
That's it .. I have nothing left that I didn't like. Your profile made me want to get to know you, learn about your adventures and your life.
That is entirely what it is meant to do....now about your trip to Oz?
Happy

There is nothing to review...you have a few sentences, and I have the feeling you are sending the exact message you wanted to.

Tommy,
You know, there is nothing "wrong" with your profile; it just didn't leap of the page at me and make me think "wow, I need to get to know this guy".
A little negative in some areas, especially the last parts "
message me if you are anything like my IDEAL..
" &
I don't invest too much on something that may not work out"
...all valid but not exactly enticing me either.

Tim,
Hmmm...you seem sure I have an improvement? Would love to hear what you thought it would be since I can't think of any
Seriously, one of the best short profiles I have read. You had me at the headline...my sort of humour right there.
Now move to Oz

JJ,
Well of course I am going to be biased about your profile...you mention Oz in the
headline
, you look as though you have some
pics
from your trip in there and you are
Canadian
... you may have just hit the winning formula right there
Now out of sheer curiousity; how does one become a professional Golf Course?
Overall, I did like your profile, though you need to break it into paragraphs, and run it through spell check.
You have mentioned
sense of humour
twice in a relatively short profile, so maybe you want to look at changing that to
someone who enjoys a laugh, at themselves or others
.
Happy
& don't forget to come back to Oz again

Ozzy,
I rarely know what I am talking about. Just ask anyone that knows me
Your
headline
needs to be scrapped and you need to put that little bit of humour into it that I can see sneaking into your profile.
Your
pictures
aren't under the greatest lighting, nor the best quality. Love to see you outside with a cheeky grin.
The only other problem is with your age restrictions. You cut off at 27...you may be missing out by not extending it a little more.
Apart from that, great job.

Brian,
I have to say, I loved your main picture. It is eye-catching which is always a bonus. Having a picture of you smiling on your profile would be an added bonus though. You are good looking so why not show it off?
Your
headline
isn't exactly inspired. You need to capture our attention. Whether it be something crazy, a quote, a joke...just something that stands out.
Mentioning that you are a little bored does not exactly send a welcoming message. It comes across as though you just want someone to keep you occupied.
You may want to re-word that or change it altogether.
If you are an open, honest, fun loving, attractive female who loves to laugh and does not play games then please get in touch. Please have a photo of yourself as I will not reply otherwise.
This is all pretty negative. Asking them not to play games doesn't mean it won't happen, that sometimes is just a part of life.
The photo part can be deleted as you can put that in your contact restrictions.
Oh..and just like a previous poster, the word you want is
dessert
not
desert

JPN,
To be honest, I didn't care for the
"interrupted dating ad"
section. The idea was a good one, however you lost me part way through and that is never a good sign. You need your reader to be engaged from the start and crave more when they finish...which is why they message you.
The rest of it was fine. It didn't set my world on fire, but then again it probably wasn't meant to
This part here
Maybe take a walk along the beach
...if I see that written on one more profile I am going to have to start drinking during the day.
Stay away from anything you saw in a chick flick...save that for when you are working toward something better...like being alowed to go and play golf with your buddies
Happy

PS...You do realise that smiling in pictures never hurt anyone?

Steve,
Your
pictures
don't seem to show you in any natural light, nor do you appear to be enthused in any of them. How are we supposed to be excited about reading your profile if you aren't excited about being there?
but I make time for the important people in my life...will one of those be you?
...you have just strolled into cheesy cliche land. Cheesy cliche land does not get attention, because we have all been there before.
In other words, delete the "will it be you?".
Those are just a few of my favorite things.
Seriously?? I thought I had wandered into a Julie Andrews movie part way through
We don't need you to explain the obvious, if you didn't like those things, I doubt you would mention them on your profile in the first place.
The rest of it reads similar. You are not injecting any personality into it. You also need to run this through spellcheck for the grammatical errors.
Read your profile outloud. If that is honestly how you sound & come across in real life, keep it. If not...try to be more personable.
Happy

Jackal,
You almost had me *sigh*
I am a little curious though as to why you would be discussing losing me in the arid climate?
. (unless you want to lose your sanity by desert)
I'm thinking you probably meant
dessert
The only other thing that stands out in error is your failure to capiltalise your "I"'s...which is incredibly common around here lately.
Apart from that... feel free to venture to Oz soon.

Bitten,
All I can suggest is that you email the ladies that viewed you and remind them that they were supposed to say "hi" as your mind reading skills are not working at the moment lol.
I really like your profile. I automatically got an idea of who you are and what I could expect...that I like.
Move to Oz...we are far nicer

It comes across as though you are a jaded 40yr old.
Not a good look.
Sent you an updated idea

Oysters are the kicker for me. They look bad, smell bad and whilst I don't mind cooking them, I just cant stand the thought of eating them.
Then again, I used to say that about steak cooked medium...now I want mine med-rare lol
