vava Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 By the way this is one of the things I've had this weekend... Among many other very interesting and succulent dishes... Dates wrapped in crispy bacon ... it's one of the best appetizers I've ever tried. I have to write about my food experience in a different thread and find out if you guys have ever tried any of them and what should I expect. style_images/master/snapback.png I know this doesn't belong in this thread, but since you brought it up: Teriyaki Dates in Bacon -Pit a bunch of dates -Smush* a bunch of garlic cloves, chop into large chunks -Wrap with a slice of bacon -Skewer with thick toothpick -Fry, turning regularly until bacon is crispy -Squirt with some low-salt teriyaki sauce (just a bit to coat) -Serve hot, on some boston leaf (with maybe some bean sprouts) OR Substitute the garlic dates with large scallops and squeeze lemon juice on them while you're fryin' em up. Wait until the bacon's crisp and the lemon juice is slightly caramelized. *note: 'Smush' does NOT mean squeeze them through one of those garlic press thingamabobs, it means to crush them under the flat side of a broad knife in order to remove the peel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anoushik Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Wow, he's a brilliant writer and one of the more complex ones. I am impressed anoushik jan, unlike you I have been doing very light and fluffy reading, in other words I am wasting my precious time. style_images/master/snapback.png Thanks dear Evelina, but I have too been doing very light and fluffy reading, but as I realized that my break was coming to an end I thought I should finish at least one serious literature. Faulkner is my father's favorite writer, even though he has been telling me to wait a couple of years before I start reading Faulkner (he doesn't know I started). My mom also loves Faulkner but her favorite writer is Chekhov. My mom actually recommended that I read "Light In August" first, before his other novels, as this one is the easiest to grasp and the best introduction to his writing. I love it so far.

Arvestaked Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'm reading Nightmare Town by Dashiel Hammet, Dracula by Bram Stoker, East of Eden by John Steinbeck and Stiff by Mary Roach. I can't devote myself to only one book at a time. I have moods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Eghh Steinbeck and his grapes... I just can't stomach his stuff, but I have to give him credit for being the best author to fill the criteria of being the most lethargic one to read.

Sasun Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 If the question asked was "where do you read?" I would answer "in the train". Train commute is just about the only time I can read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 That's probably the best place to read. Don't have to concentrate on the road and it makes your time during hectic transportation a lot more pleasant and practical. I read at work, and they pay me.

Don't have to concentrate on the road and it makes your time during hectic transportation a lot more pleasant and practical. That's true, I console myself with that after my car broke down. I read at work, and they pay me. style_images/master/snapback.png I used to do that, but not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 (edited) Sasun, speaking of reading, what's the symbol in your avatar and what does it mean? I have to say that public transportation has its advantages, however during the rush hour either in the dead of the winter and the heat of the summer it's utter hell being there. Smelling people's pits or trying to squeeze in between heavy winter coats. And then you can't even read because it's so crowded.

Sasun Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Sasun, speaking of reading, what's the symbol in your avatar and what does it mean? Eve, my avatar says Aum (Om) in and Indian writing. I have to say that public transportation has its advantages, however during the rush hour either in the dead of the winter and the heat of the summer it's utter hell being there. Smelling people's pits or trying to squeeze in between heavy winter coats. And then you can't even read because it's so crowded. style_images/master/snapback.png To tell the truth public transportation is new to me, and I am really liking it My working hours are a bit different, so most of the time when I commute there are sits and not much crowd. Probably the most enjoyable part in my day is the morning rides when I read in the train enjoying ice coffee and listenning to my favorite music with noise blocking earphones. Sometimes I wish the commute was longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't stomach his stuff, but I have to give him credit for being the best author to fill the criteria of being the most lethargic one to read. style_images/master/snapback.png To me, he's amazing. He's the 20th century American equivalent of Dostoyevsky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 You are out of your disturbed mind. How can compare lethargic, one-dimensional, dull, dry and dramatic author to a genius like Dostoyevsky? If Dostoyevsky was dark then Steinbeck was just bleak.

Arvestaked Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I think that Dostoyevsky's commentary and philosophy is much deeper for sure. But I think they have similar eyes and ears and I'm not afraid to make that comparison. And I've decided that anyone who disagrees with me is almost completely useless because I'm practically perfect in every way. http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~socs46/shows/summer/marypoppins2003/img/marypoppins.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
