Indy, use a less-sweet champagne. Pomegranate juice (to me anyway) is usually tart, not sweet. The champagne cocktail I mentioned above is rarely too sweet, and I do NOT typically like overly-sweet alcoholic drinks.

ppanther

I don't love champagne, but I DO love this cocktail:
1 bottle champagne
2 cups pomegranate juice
lemon slices (thin)
mint leaves (quite a bit)

Mix in pitcher, serve well chilled in champagne glasses. VERY tasty.

Indy, that wasn't a very nice thing to do to a pregnant woman on a hot day. Now I really want those chips, but I am in no mood to turn on the oven. Hmph!!

And mikey, yes, freshly ground parmesan is sooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the pre ground stuff. But, being a lazy bastard, I usually have a container of the sawdust pergrated stuff in the fridge. Yeah, I keep plenty of the stuff in the green can around too. Gotta be Kraft and not the che...

Mikey,

You should really try the Tomatillo/Chipotle recipe. It's pretty similar in flavor to a good salsa verde, except the chipotle obviously makes the end result not-so-verde. :) But the smokiness is DELICIOUS. Try it try it!!

ppanther

The tortilla flour is masa harina. They sell it in every grocery store around here. It's a corn flour treated with lime, and like Indy said, you just add water. I've not done this (I've only made flour tortillas, not corn) but I will tomorrow, since I got a press. I don't know if flour tortillas wou...

ppanther

I don't even want to BOTHER making corn tortillas by hand. That's why I bought a press. :)

I'm not saying I'll ALWAYS make my own tortillas... but I sure will pretty often!

Then you'll have caught up with me. Planning on any more?
You need one more to catch up with my wife.

Nope. I am NOT doing this again. I hate being pregnant. Love the outcome, hate everything else!! We have a boy, we're having a girl, that is IT!

Semantics.

I've recently started making my own tortillas. They are really freaking delicious, and really easy. No, not easier than buying a bag of tortillas at the store, but unless you live next to a market that makes their own (or a Trader Joe's, where they sell pretty darn respectable tortillas), these are ...

T-minus 32 days. Not that I'm counting. (HA)

ppanther

Calm down, Indy. It doesn't take a genius to assume they called their bread-and-steak-with-no-cheese creation a steak sandwich.

ppanther

I love the stilton-type cheeses with fruit in them that are so popular these days. Whenever I make a cheese board, I always include one of them, preferably the blueberry kind. It's always the first to go. Also love drunken goat cheese, though I haven't had that too often. A friend brought some over ...

The cheesesteak was developed in the early 20th century "by combining frizzled beef, onions, and cheese in a small loaf of bread," according to a 1987 exhibition catalog published by the Library Company of Philadelphia and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. The first "cheesestea...

Oh my gosh, I've recently discovered grilled pizza and I don't know if I can ever again make it any other way! I use a dough recipe from a Bobby Flay book I have, but probably any good dough will work. For the recipe I use, stretch the prepared dough into the desired shape, brush both sides with oli...

but if their doing it strictly because they think it's going to get them additional brownie points with his holy invisibleness and get them a better seat in eternal glory, then yes, I think they're seriously fucking deluded..... Well, it is also made clear in the Bible that no one can "earn&qu...

ppanther

why not? You should be proud to be able to say that you do for others without expecting something in return....I'm like you, I wish I had the time to do more, but I do what I can.....there's nothing to be uncomfortable about in sharing your personal sense of responsibility (for whatever reason) and...

Ditto Python's question. Felix, I didn't really intend to piss you off, and I didn't really imply that you don't contribute to people in need. I wasn't trying to be self-righteous, I was replying to your statement that you were skeptical about what people did with monetary donations. Good for you, i...

Do you seriously believe in karma, Felix, or are you just saying that? just saying I'm actually still really entertained by the thought that you honestly believe in karma. seriously? Check out the prison population and see what percentage of convicts are christian versus the number that are atheist...

I'm a great believer in karma Awesome. Do you seriously believe in karma, Felix, or are you just saying that? You really believe that there is some cosmic force that punishes those who have behaved badly? I'm sorry, I mean it's fine if you really believe in it... It just really doesn't reconcile wi...

ppanther

why is it that you start insulting me "poor understanding" = doesn't see things my way "position of ignorance" = doesn't see things my way Felix, it wasn't an insult. Really. But your contentions were overly-simplistic. They were missing a lot . The term "ignorance" is...

ppanther

and of course, confronted with the bald faced reality, apologists such as yourself fall back on the old "you just don't get it" standby....good one, I never saw that one coming If you're comfortable having a poor understanding of that which you reject, fine by me. Stop making assertions f...

ppanther

of course not...by and large they spend a good portion of their lives telling themselves they're not worthy (insert Wayne's World chant) of god loving them....exactly how much debasement does god demand before he's satisfied? ...and more and more you demonstrate your overly-simplistic (lack of) und...

I wasn't implying you'd lose your faith, but was simply stating that you would likely do things that would be an abomination to your faith given the right circumstances....but not to worry, because christians have a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card I thought you implied the loss of faith when ...

One more thing: Millions of people have endured starvation without resorting to cannibalism. The two cases you mentioned are not the norm. Well, I'd guess that first the "millions" you mention probably aren't christians, and secondly, if they're at the point of considering eating people, ...

what kind of question is that? We can only be observers unless we're sitting in Rwanda starving to death. It's a valid question, given your guarantee. You are right. We don't know what it's like to really suffer unless we experience it ourselves. We are all observers, but there are ways to observe ...

one thing I can absolutely guarantee you panther, is that the man's instinct for survival will ultimately supersede any and all theist based belief systems ...and if it becomes a matter of their survival, what do you think they're capable of? I'm not sure that this is true. I came across two quotes...

Something in our human nature makes us try our best to stay alive, Felix. That doesn't change when people become Christian. I'm pretty sure that anyone you ask, even if they're Christian, would want that virus stopped.

And of course these things might be blessings. Then again, they are surely not necessarily. I find this very interesting, because it's something my husband and I discussed before. He went to Ukraine with Joni and Friends, to distribute wheelchairs to disabled people who could never afford to buy th...

well I can, because although ppanther is nice looking enough, she pales in comparison to my wife Felix, you just earned about 50 respect points from me. There's not much better than a husband who adores his wife. So many (on other boards -- don't notice it so much here at T1B) spend 80% of their in...

I think it's fine for him to acknowledge that 1.5 billion people believe the Quran is holy. I think that if he is a Christian, and he claims to be, that the Quran cannot be considered holy by him . I must have missed where he claimed it as his holy book but given that you said it, then it must be t...

look, I already said earlier that I can't disprove god, and I can't disprove the whole garden of eden thing...it's impossible...just like you can't disprove evolution...much smarter people than you and I have been trying for years, but it's pretty much stood the test of time...hell sakes, even the ...

okay, I'm wrong you're not an atheist-can we be friends now? Friends? Oh goody. Internet friends are swell. Vaya con dios mean Go With God, it doesn't necessarily mean goodbye... "Have a nice day" "See ya later" Neither of those necessarily mean good bye. They are still most oft...

Just out of curiosity, Felix... how is your inability to process third-grade English my idiocy? okay, here's a simple solution for you, substitute non-believer for atheist in everything I've written and problem solved.... Not really. "Non-believer" by itself is not a suitable replacement ...

Wow. Anything is better than admitting you're wrong, huh? Why not put the entire post in your sig and see how many people agree with you? ;)
