This is REAL similar to Granmaw’s… she buttered 'em up good though. A REAL artery clogger!
Oh no, I DID read the material Tom linked to. It says ONE guy MAY have misled interrogators about Iraq/al-Qaeda connections. Unless more “proof” is forth-coming, that stuff is a waste of time. About all we can belittle Dub for in this affair (which is what EVERYBODY seems to want to do here) is his inability to get the US intelligence community straightened out. (Blind leading blind )

I bet Flav would like some peach pie… anybody know what air mailing a peach pie to Italy would cost
Don’t even think about it! Flavio would pull the plug on us in an instant. Italians are very partial to their food and you’re thinking of sending him American pastry, urgh - no suet, I’ve told you guys before, you gotta have SUET to make proper pastry Anyway, if you’ve fallen out with GW, why do you want to send him fruit? Unless it’s at very high speed, of course
I’ll try almost anything (considered real food) once.
I had chicken feet a while back. It was actually good, though it was a bit odd to look at. As you can imagine there’s not much meat on them bones.
Of course, that’s what I get for going to a real Asian restaurant in Seattle. We’d never see that in a North Carolina Asian restaurant. They’d substitute pigs feet you know.
Marinate with whisky, rum, brandy etc. for several weeks (preferably months) Serve with hot brandy sauce.
“Hallo! A great deal of steam! the pudding was out of the copper [boiler]. A smell like washing –day! That was the cloth [the pudding bag]. A smell like an eating house and a pastrycook’s next door to each other, with a laundress’s next door to that! That was the pudding! In half a minute Mrs. Cratchit entered—flushed, but smiling proudly—with the pudding. like a speckled cannon ball, so hard and firm, blazing in half of half-a-quartern of ignited brandy, and bedight with Christmas holly stuck into the top.”
“Oh, a wonderful pudding! Bob Cratchit said, and calmly too, that he regarded it as the greatest success achieved by Mrs. Cratchit since their marriage…”
