Oh please, don't let it have been me somehow...

I hope to see you again somewhere someday with or without your shirt.

I've been to that place elsewhere, so I get what you mean even if I haven't been paying enough attention to see it here.

I'm leaving a key under the doormat for you.

I've seen it some here. I've experienced it here. Didn't see much reason to mention it or cause a fuss since that's never solved the problem. I just avoid certain places and I'm not on every day, even when I might have time to be. There are, after all, other things I need to be doing, and things that might be less frustrating. It saddens me that such things have driven Kel away completely. I'm not sure what specifically he was reacting to at this point, though.

The boychild has 'haved himself admirably.

(He reeeeeaaallly wants the Wii back. Plus I think he's got the general lesson. No punitive literature needed!)

I don't want to jinx myself, so I'll drop the topic right there...

I just sat the menfolk down to coconut milk soup and bagels w/hummus. We'll see how quiet it gets.

Hmmm... maybe I should go rewatch that Castle ep again. (I really do keep expecting him to say "BWAH!")

***edit***

Dead silence. Then:

"Thpithii!!"

"Yeah, it's got that back of the palate burn."

sigh. Well it tasted OK to ME...poor baby.

(Puts the rest of the pot out for virtual consumption.)

HUGS Rosie... oh don't you love technology. I still encourage parents to buy at least one device 'cause grounding a kid is a pain and ineffective, ground their playstation, cell phone or ipod and you have a kid who miraculously becomes much more willing to learn from his/her mistakes

.....o........kay........

Yes.
It's much better to run away than to have an open and honest discourse on the subject.
That way, no one has to learn or grow or understand one another.

What exactly goes into coconut milk soup? (I'm assuming the coconut milk just serves as the broth??)

mmmm hummus. I still don't know how to make it, and I don't know what goes into it, but it's still awesome.

As for the grounding thing, it seems to be unfortunately getting to the point where kids care more about having their video games and iPhones than books. The couple of times I was grounded from the TV as a kid(at the time that was the only real "device" we had, as the computer didn't run games, and I had to use it for homework) I'd just read until grounding was over, and most of the time just wouldn't go back to the TV unless it was Saturday morning. Take away a kid's xbox today and it's the end of the world.

HUGS thanks HK

FLT... here is coconut milk soup ... which by the way is the best sore throat and head cold cure ever
Ingredients
1 quart chicken stock
1 stalk lemon grass, white part only, cracked open with the flat side of a knife
3 kaffir lime leaves, fresh or dried, hand torn
1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
2 small Thai chilies, halved lengthwise
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 (13-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 (8-ounce) can straw mushrooms, rinsed
4 limes, juiced
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
Bring the stock to the boil over medium heat in a soup pot. Add the lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, ginger, chilies, and garlic. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and gently simmer for 10 minutes to let the spices infuse the broth.

Uncover and stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, mushrooms, lime juice, and chicken. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat the chicken through; season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into a soup tureen or individual serving bowls. Garnish with cilantro. Be careful to avoid chewing the lemongrass, ginger, or lime leaves.

Ooohh.. I didn't have a recipe before! Thanks MsA!

I just sort of whipped it together with a shocking lack of lime. It had chicken boullion, a little lemon juice, some cumin, nutmeg, cayenne, and black pepper.

Apparently the spices really blossomed as it sat waiting for them to get home. oops.

There are as many ways to make hummus as there are to make spaghetti sauce and the arguments can be just as fierce. Smile and nod and take notes if anyone is ever debating it in front of you but DO NOT JOIN IN unless you are either part of the ethnic group having the discussion or a seasoned veteran with a very good grip of the complex issues of lemon and garlic ratios and proper spicing. Just. Don't.

Hummus is basically chickpea and sesame paste with (usually) salt, pepper, lemon juice, and garlic. It can be very elaborately seasoned, or practically plain, or have any number of amendments added. Chunky vs. smooth is not usually an issue like with peanutbutter, but you can get some textural variations. Babaghanoush is eggplant puree, very similar but different, and quite tasty.

MsA, i feel forsaken.
