One comment then I need coffee. Unique food consumption. George Carlin once said: Americans will eat anything. If you served sauteed raccoon's asshole on a stick they would eat it. Especially dipped in butter.
Many a true word is spoken in jest,
Jest? More like truth. Look at it this way. In this building including myself there are 6 adults. I am the only one normal weight. The rest aren't just overweight. They are morbidly obese. And so are some of their children. I feel like I live on a fat farm.
Anyway, enough of potential off subject bashing. Gonna take a shower and work on some TE.
As long as you are above them you are safe. Unless one of those Teks goes through the floor
Unfortunately one lives above me and she sounds like a drunken pachyderm when she walks across her floor.
I love to cook, and I love breads especially. I'd happily live on BBQ, bacon/eggs & sub sandwiches for all eternity. But there are still some things I won't eat: Most liver dishes, Mexican chorizo/barbacoa (traditionally uses a large portion of meat scoured off beef skulls which tastes like ass), haggis and the Mexican equivalent, montalayo, chitlins, tongue of any variant.
Oh, and most game animals, because they're never processed right; gran-dad taught me one thing about hunting for food: choose your target carefully, because whatever you kill, you're done hunting until it's dressed & hung to bleed out
immediately. Waiting til you're done hunting means the blood congeals in the meat, and to this day I cannot stand the taste of game fowl or venison that's been handled this way.
On the subject of noisy upstairs denizens: Nothing can beat my son. I know
exactly where he is in the house at all times; every time he moves, it's like a stampeding herd of buffalo. There is
no stealth in that boy. I can tell from my dwagon cave in the basement when he goes to the upstairs bathroom, no kidding...
