    Wait! Why couldnt you do it with a nice Italian sausage? Add a little 'gravy' and it'd be downright respectable! :knifefork:

    Unless one is an incurable Momma's Boy there is no valid
    way to understand Women { the weaker Sex }.
    Because it involves too much psychology.
    Even those Girls who go thru a - Boy Crazy - period are
    difficult to pinpoint.
    Whereas Most Males are as easy to know and understand
    as yer Pet German Shepherd.

    IOW, any woman smart enough to train a dog can train a man.
    So when women assert that "men drool - women rule" they have valid point.

    The latest addition to our family: an abandoned dog we named "Tammie Jo" after the Southwest pilot/ex-F-18 pilot in the news. We name all of our pets after pilots and I wanted to name her "Pancho Barnes" but my wife liked "Tammie Jo"....soooooo I'm buying a name tag that says "Tammie Jo". We live in the country and it's common that city people drive out here, take the collar off unwanted pets and abandon them. Tammie Jo is pretty skinny so I suspect she's been on the road for at least 2-3 weeks. The person who picked her up already has adopted, get this, 14 dogs, and couldn't handle anymore so (after a fruitless effort to find the owner) offered her up for adoption. My wife saw it and was interested so here we are:

    Oh, yeah, and the Barn Swallow eggs hatched, all three of them:

    Pancho Barnes was quite the personality. You could have put a tag on her doggy bed that said property of "Happy Bottom Riding Club".

    I suppose I should admit that I just used mudbugs from China once. Discovered the China tag later.
    It tasted fine - but will never do it again. Louisiana crawfish is available and worth any extra cost. ;-)

    Most commercial crayfish come from Viet Nam, I think. That's what it says on the package.

    Yes. Dogs love anything that runs, rolls or flies away from them.

    Well, the Vietnamese do not like the Chinese - which is reassuring, but I would still avoid their crawfish.
    Buy American. And Louisiana is American - not French. ;-)

    They call it cucumber peel for a reason.

    It is meant to be removed from the cucumber and then flung far, far away.

    Apparently we're meant to cook cucumbers and us in the West are doing it wrong when we don't cook our cucumbers...
    People in Asia view us eating raw/fresh cucumber like we would view anyone who ate a raw potato;
    Remember this the next time you want cucumber.

    Wait, what?
    You could cook a radish?!
    Hmmm...
    I've never thought about that before.

    Life, full of surprises still, what was once unknown, now understood, going through this world/life's journey.

    Pffft, women don't understand men any better than men understand women. That has become abundantly clear over the last 6 years. Men need sex. Men want sex. Men will do damn near anything for sex. Agreed, to a large extent this is true. But that is where you start, not where you end. ;)

    I have learned a lot about women on my voyage of the penis. And while I may not understand a lot, I have learned one thing. You might have to be smooth, subtle, funny, smart, creative, and many other things to charm a woman, but if you don't make a damn fool of yourself, most women find it hard to resist a man who adores her and treats her like the most important woman on earth.

    That is my secret weapon: I adore women. And they know it. I just had to learn to show it and not to say it. :D That's why I have to say it here. If I don't my head will most certainly explode.

    Just fyi, these women see sugaring as empowerment as well. They ARE taking care of themselves. They would just rather do it this way than by slaving away for minimum wage while trying to make a life for themselves. At least, this is often true.

    Good food, good drinks, good company, lots of laughter, a long sensual massage, lots of fun in bed, vs. "May I take your order?" Not a hard choice... as long as you genuinely like and enjoy each other.

    With some women we went out an did a lot of stuff. My current sb likes to just relax for a nice evening at my place. But whatever works! Each relationship is unique.

    I think people just get tired of each other; esp after all of our false expectations fail. That's why I've decided that limited relationships are okay. Just agree that the time will come to let go, and enjoy the ride. People want to hold back and not let themselves fall for someone if they know a relationship can't last. But I learned this is silly. You can still have a true romance and a rewarding relationship. You just have to accept that a broken heart is the price of love.

    It really is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. That is another saying [like so many love songs] that was just words before. But its true.

    Swing open, window,
    Let me see Maria!
    I'm standing here, in the middle of a street,
    I wish I saw her.

    I have no minute of peace.
    I stay up at night
    To be here around all the time,
    Hoping to talk to her.

    Oh, Maria, oh, Maria,
    How much sleep I lost because of you!
    Let me fall asleep
    Just a little in your arms!
    Oh, Maria, oh, Maria,
    How much sleep I lost because of you!
    Let me fall asleep,
    Oh, Maria, oh, Maria!

    It seems already are opening
    The shutters of her window.
    Maria waves to me
    With her little hand.

    Play, my guitar,
    Maria has woken up!
    A beautiful serenade
    Let's play for her!

    Oh, Maria, oh, Maria,
    How much sleep I lost because of you!
    Let me fall asleep
    Just a little in your arms!
    Oh, Maria, oh, Maria,
    How much sleep I lost because of you!
    Let me fall asleep,
    Oh, Maria, oh, Maria!

    No because you have to fry the sausage before you put it in the gravy. You boil the spaghetti separate. I guess you could fry the sausage and then stick the dried spaghetti in the cooked sausage and then boil the spaghetti in the gravy but I couldn't do that because the ground would shake from all my dead relatives rolling over. Ahahaha

    I was looking up the difference between calling pasta, pasta or macaroni.
    We generically call it macaroni. But for the most part the type of macaroni we name. Like broccoli rabe with cavatelli, muscles with linguini, mafalda with chick peas or call it by name like capallini, rigatoni, etc. The only time I normally say pasta is pasta fazool. Pasta to me is ditalini or anci di pepe. Noodles are something way different where I come from.

    These are basically noodles. That's a Pennsylvania Dutch thing. That's for something like ham and cabbage. The smaller ones are for soup sometimes. Never gravy.

    My mom insisted certain macaroni was for certain things. One time I had two half boxes of macaroni. I figured they would cook at the same time because they were basically the same size. My mom looks at the dish and says, whats this? lol

    Looks like they kept the meat out of the boiling water by sliding it up the spaghetti strands, then flipping it over and cooking the other end. Kids would prob luv it!

    We call pasta pasta as a general term, but everything else is specific. Macaroni means elbow macaroni, noodles mean noodles, fettuccini means fettuccine, etc. And we call tomato gravy marinara sauce.

    Go figger, huh? :)
