Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

[Jibzzzz]

All the Vegan talk reminded me I have two fillet steaks and 3 peppered steak burgers in the fridge that go out of date tomorrow. Today will be a good day.

[Wombatman]

I agree - I also think that when it is your wedding, you get to set a lot of a rules and in general people shouldn't judge you too harshly for it. As long as people are aware in advance of what they are getting into, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Aware in advance meaning you know to deduct the price of a shit kicking kebab, on the way home, from what you would normally put in the envelope.

[Tar.Aldarion]

I'd obv eat it and say nothing but I still don't think its right to force your beliefs/feelings on everyone. If say 100 turned up at the wedding, what percentage of vegans do you imagine would be there (max 10?). Also, I'm sure the meal would be lovely, I'm not comparing dishes or anything.

While you're on , trying to stay off red meat for a month. Going to eat chicken/turkey because I eat a lot of sambos and I don't like just salad ones. Anyway, give us a nice easy to make recipe that will impress the missus (preferably not one with a lot of pulses, beans). Ta.

[QUOTE=Tar.Aldarion;96869358] Not sure what to recommend for other people. Recent meals I made were massaman curry with mixed veg, roast cashews, tofu and noodles. The one before was a red wine chickpea and mushroom/veg dish.

A personal favourite is peanut butter stew and brown rice.



I add a lot more veg to it though. Here are some dishes I have made recently that I can give the recipe for if you like any, unfortunately I eat a lot of beans/pulses

SPOILER

Did your family see any funny shapes and colours after the ones you picked for them?

I didn't like loads when I was younger but will eat anything now. Including olives, olives are class ya have to keep trying them a few times and the become so good

If only, i could have sold them at school.

Yeah i'm the same really, when I eat things a good few times I realise I now like it and can't imagine not liking it. Olives are pretty much the only thing that I have left to like.

[poprock]

Ah I'm as much of a carnivore as the rest of you but I don't think a vegan meal is really forcing on people.

I agree with you however I have a feeling, my subconscious is calling the shots as it would mean a good run on the beer for the day without been bloated by beef

Was at a wedding once were the food was top notch yet still people complained.

Dear LSB

Thank you for your email.

Quite often during bus periods, agents will print off tickets in advance for sale. There are also occasions where an Agent will retain tickets for sale, if a customer has asked for a ticket and then changed their mind/refused to pay. Although this is not something that we actively encourage, we consider that each ticket is a valid entry into the draw.

Given that tickets are printed and sold ahead of the draw, it is difficult to discern how or why anyone would "siphon" off tickets. If the Agent does not sell all of the tickets that he has printed, he bears the cost of them as they are live tickets.

Customers are also advised to check their tickets at time of purchase.

Regards

Louise Ray

Why stay off red meat for a month? I'd hope it's because of a sizeable bet but sadly I suspect it is being dictated by a female by the rest of your post Careca.

I are disappoint.

Came into a nespresso shop in regents street to replace the shitload of my son's capsules I've used. So there's a free tasting bar and I sit down next to the world greatest coffee wanker who is shiting on at length to the girl serving.
At the same moment as I read Riggers gravitas comment he says something particularly ridiculous and I burst my hole laughing. Unfortunate waitress can't keep it together and joins in.

Town wedged. The bus arrives and is a c, as in stopping at the city center because of traffic. Looking forward to them fucking off to Lisbon.

Sure it'd be a top idea they wrote 83c on the Dublin bus app/electronic timetables. That way you'd know if the bus you were waiting on in the city center was stopping in the city center.

[MrsFlushdraw]

I didn't like them most of my life but used to collect them for my family when i was young, in the fields. Would collect thousands. If only I would know I would come to love them.

Does anybody else view on what they like change? When I was younger I didn't like much food, then as I have eaten them over the years it's like you come to like the things you didn't. Not olives though, they still taste like tyres.

I never touched a mushroom until I was 28 and pregnant with my eldest. Suddenly wanted garlic mushrooms and have eat mushrooms ever since.

I also hated the smell and sight of toast and apart from eating it as a toddler I hadn't touched it again till I was about 23. My family thought it was the oddest thing ever to not like toast.

Just on food though. When I was pregnant with my middle kid, it was the smell of hotdog sausages that made me feel really bad. Couldn't stand the smell of them at all and had rat them up until then. Lewis himself doesn't like hotdog sausages so it must have came from him.

I went off meat when I was pregnant with my eldest as well and I couldn't stand the smell of BBQ's and had a god awful summer as it was a hot one and all I could smell were the blasted things.

She is a vegetarian and isn't fond of BBQ's!

Nothing too interesting. I am going to cut down the gargle for the month and just want to try and lose some weight. I eat far too much red meat and just thought I'd try something different for the month.

I never really eat salmon but had teriyaki salmon tonight and it was lovely.

@Tar, cheers for the recipes. I'll try that curry and let you know how it goes.

[Lazare]

Just made this. Pretty bleedin awesome. Really simple, although I bought the Tzatziki, made it myself before and didn't like it, but Supervalu do a really good one.

Used small round pittas and grilled them.

Tasted like home made Zaytoon.

Listened to the El Vy album tonight, it's excellent.

El Vy is Matt Berninger of The National's new project, they sold out a tour on the back of one song. They're playing Vicar St next month which sold out after a couple of hours. They moved it there after Whelan's sold out in about 45 seconds.

I managed to bag four, got lucky. A rare thing.

An awesome lyric from it, from a fucking awesome vocalist.....

Sky's user interface really is shit, although it's ten times better than UPC it seems to be way behind what it could be.

Maybe Android has spoilt everything else for me.

Not an option, wouldn't want to move to UPC anyhow.

[Guest]

Read a bit recently on the 40-hour work week (or as we say here - the 35-hour work week)

Here's a nicely informed piece on the general pointlessness of working more than 40 hours a week.

And then there's this on how Sweden is moving towards a six-hour work day as a trial.


Like the idea of the six-hour work day if its genuinely productive. 9-12, lunch, 1-4, home.

The thing about this research is that apparently its more productive to work a six-hour day than a longer day. Can kinda see that as you're probably starting each day with a fresh rested perspective.

What about people who like their work?

It is one of these yolks.



Probably before built in wifi (2001 I got it I think?), but it's beside the router so I don't mind having it connected by cable as it'd be faster anyhow. It works sometimes, not others.

I don't like sweet or fruity wine, love dry whites and robust reds.

On a related topic, a Polish customer of mine was home recently and brought me back a bottle of Zubrowska Bison Grass vodka, it's the vodka with the blade of grass in the bottle. He recommended it with apple juice, think I've found my new drink.

[Solskjaer]

But the point of this (does no-one read links ) is that the human brain can't actually work much more than six hours in creative jobs. So its about taking that redundant time we spend in work and turning it into some more life-positive.

If I were able to take a two hour nap in the afternoon, I would rule the world. Instead I feel I have been the inspiration for all of the recent Zombie series in the last 10 years.
