    Men who can cook.

    I cook for my family every day and quite enjoy it. I enjoy variety and often try out new dishes. As for cleaning...the best advice ever was 'clean as you go'. Can't be beat...when you finish, the kitchen is clean, the pots are clean and put away. All that is left are the dishes, and the...

    The Flowers Of War

    Being a frequent visitor to used books stores and book-heavy thrift stores, I keep hoping to find Iris Chang's The Rape of Nanking...to no avail so far. I found a work on Iris Chang herself...not a happy story...but still no Nanking book. I am familiar with the event. Quite an act of barbarism.

    What's for Dinner?

    Rib-eye steak on the bbq (in December!...great), mushrooms in a red wine sauce, sauted bell peppers and onions, and simple boiled Yukon golds. Since retiring, I've become the head cook.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just finished watching Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey and Jude Law. As a fan of Conan Doyle's books, I was prepared to dislike it but I have to admit I quite enjoyed it. I thought Jude Law's performance as Watson was excellent and a lot closer to the original books than other film Watsons...

    Christmas Dinner

    Oliver's recipe is similar. Parboil the potatoes (8-10 min) Drain them in a colander and let them cool about 3 min. Then 'chuff' them up...shake them in the colander so they get fuzzy. Then into an oiled pan with salt and pepper. Into the oven for about 25-30 minutes, then take them out...

    African Queen to be Restored

    Charlie Allnut would be dismayed, and Rose would definitely be perturbed. It's a shame the article didn't have a photo of the Queen. It's amazing that the boat survived at all, really.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Me and my black sovereign quality, velour finish Stetson Playboy returning from my evening walk...it's a bit chilly out there. One of these days I'll remember to leave the glasses at home.

    Christmas Dinner

    My wife puts great importance on having a turkey dinner for Christmas. I just looked at your beef tenderloin link...sure wish I could convince her to switch to that one! Looks great. By the way...the best roast potatoes I've ever made came from a technique by Jamie Oliver. It's at this...

    First hit song memories...

    Hound Dog by Elvis...1956. I was only 4 but I still remember doing my version of the hit while holding the plastic guitar that I received that Christmas. Still like Hound Dog, though now I tend to prefer Big Mama Thornton's version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_nNNIYTy9g

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Found some DVDs in the basement I had totally forgotten...so now it's Jack of All Trades time. Can't resist Bruce Campbell.

    The Holiday Party: Rude or Inept Guests?

    Off topic, I know but...you've been inside the Studio Building? I am jealous, indeed! I have some art that may have been produced there (Town, McNamara) but I've never had a chance to see the inside. I'm turning green. As far as the slobs at your party, PSG...perhaps you should invite fewer...

    Most hats in one year

    This has been my first year of retirement and I've been actively searching out vintage hats. I've managed to find 15 so far this year including two Borsalinos, a Sammy Taft custom beaver, a Bates Burlington and a Stetson 3X beaver. I found them all in either thrift stores, rummage sales or...

    Welcome to the lounge,SD. I like your town quite a bit...you're gas is considerably cheaper than TO.

    Prohibition

    The Canadian sources for decent quality alcohol became even busier when prohibition ended in Canada in 1927 yet continued in the U.S. until 1933. Stanley...Cobourg as in Cobourg, Ontario? I was there on the weekend attending an auction.
