well, my immigrant or emigrant who cares tenure 0 is more than twice yours. which does not give me more than a little more mandate to trash you for trashing sessions...
when did you move to teh south, to al? and where? if you don't mind.
patriot act and phone tapping leave me indifferent. i am not into personal freedoms of that sort. those who listen already listen. it is all a joke. and some of us have nothing to hide. i don't. do you? i don't even have a married lover. do you? ;-)
re same sex marriage - well, yes, bad, but he IS a evangelical, what do you want. gotta understand that he is a backwards but a generally decent person. not an asshole. and there are SO MANY. Bentley - what do you think of him, eh? Bell? eh? eh?
> and some of us have nothing to hide. i don't. do you?
That's not the point.
The point is that nobody has the right to put parts of the Constitution on hold. And we do have a right to "be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures". And I'm not willing to let go of that just because somebody is too lazy to do some real police work.
> re same sex marriage - well, yes, bad,
So I need not explain my disdain for that character any further.
> he IS a evangelical
Yes he is an evangelical; just one more reason not to like him...
> Bentley - what do you think of him, eh?
Bentley is a self-righteous hypocrite. He campaigned on being a "real Christian" and yeah, well, that was so Christian of him to cheat on his own wife while on taxpayers' dime.
Having said that, he did do some good things for the manufacturing in our state.
And yeah, other Alabama politicians don't really have a stellar record either. I think at least half of them have been involved in litigation regarding some corruption charges, and a few even landed in jail (like our former governor Siegelman).
having seen this ocuntry evolve from mid70s to now is a privilege and a gift. so my 43 years are .. a little longer and more ebuchi than your 20. sorry. true if this were thailand, too.
Birmingham is pretty progressive, no? the uni, etc.
as to nothing to hide - in a way, you are right. besides, someone needs to show me that extra surveillance actually prevented terror acts. but if they do show me that - you are wrong.
re same sex marriage we are on the same page, so let's just file it. and people do get married all over the South, anyway.
listen dear. i don't mean it badly, i am prolly older than you by the same 23 years. so listen dear.
this country - the south anyway - was built by evangelicals, the rest by puritans, quackers, lutherans, methodists. so relax and enjoy the fruits of their labor. incl. sessions.
Bentley is an asshole. we agreed there. recently he climed he is the best governor AL ever had. ahahah, said the disgusted electorate. but.. let him. he has been humiliated and made notorious not for what he had done for the state but for teh gore and corruption. he goes down withna bang he deserves...
as to corruption, AL is not as bad as SC< VA, and of course nobody can top IL, NY, MA...
"FBI agents canât point to any major terrorism cases theyâve cracked thanks to the key snooping powers in the Patriot Act, the Justice Departmentâs inspector general said in a report Thursday that could complicate efforts to keep key parts of the law operating."
exactly my point. two hours of driving. i am majorly spoiled, i am.. now paying for it.
used to live in the foothills of Wasatch range. hike from home anywhere... and used to have a lakehouse in the mountains on a lake, on foot to an obscure state park connected to Sunapee by trails..
sorry, i was just curious about you. personally, i have no "off-topic" rules in my blog, and rely on the host to tell me if i am flooding him with irrelevant info, and then i stop. come to think of it, i would not return to a blog where i was censored for an off-topic. i find such blogs unworthy of my presence. :-)
sometimes i do ask someone to shut up (just had) because he is a nudnik equal to me, and our badminton was becoming toxically boring.
tell me just one thing if you don't mind - 20 years in the South, do you feel a part of it or a stranger? i am told that newcomers of any race, yankees especially, do not ever become welcome, and what little i read of southern literature tells me the same.
i don't need a welcoming party, we are antisocial to a degree, but i am used to feeling at home basically anywhere in teh US. in the South, I do not. exceopt maybe North Carolina, the least southern of southern states. i don't mean Florida.
so, if you don't mind - do you feel you have grown into being "them" and "they" embraced you? i find "them" insular in the extreme I had not seen yet, and I lived or/and have family in the East, NE, Wild West, Kali, Montana, Oregon, etc, etc.
teh secret - a VERY GOOD piece of steak/cho[ but not tenderloin. those don't work for me.
thin steaks are fine after 4 days. thick ones can go for two weeks. it is awesome. minimal cooking when ready, serve with capers and jalapeno preserves. alternatively horseradish/mayo or fig jelly.
if you have a thin slice ( a finger thickness) - and you turn it every day, then by 4 days look at your salt - it is all wet. you can change the salt and continue drying, but then you will have a Dr. Shcoll's sole - dry and rubbery. so after 4 days take your beef - you will see it lost volume some - and either sear it or grill it.
i have doggies, so if i see a purple edge - it becomes jerky, they love it. cut it off barely with any knife but serrated - that tears the meat fibers.
minimal cooking means i like raw meat - so i only cook enough to get the two surfaces ( and for a thick one, all surfaces) - brounish. for a thin slice you will have medium done no matter what you do, BTW.
10 minutes for a 2-incher is way too long for me. i would broil on each side for 2 minutes maximum. good meat is best rare. parasites are rare, and bacteria do not penetrate the inside unless your outside is frankly rotten.
2+2 min for a 2 inch steak?! I eat only rare but this will leave the internal inch completely raw and not even warm. I'm perfectly able to eat raw meat, and I did, but then it should be marinated. Maybe aged meat is good uncooked, never tried that.
try it! try taking it out of the fridge an hour before cooking - will cook better. that is what the restaurants do with their aged beef, i am told...
but basically it is all about experimenting. if you bite into your steak and teh inside is cold - oopps, cut and grill rapidly. and increase cooking time. grills and even broilers are different, you know?
I've been trying things for many years. I undercooked many steaks, and I overcooked a lot, that's how I learned. Now I know how to grill in general, but even steaks of same thickness are not the same. Still, 2+2 cannot be enough for a 2-incher. Just last w/e I grilled Costco steaks for 10 min and it was barely enough even for me.
