Been quite some time since I last logged in. I used to frequent and post here semi often in the early 2000s. Remembered this place and surprisingly my old password. Scored a couple awesome FTF deals in the past. Since then I have consolidated my firearm collection a little to mostly what I shoot and carry. Also became a professional chef. | ||

I was going to say that my sack hangs lower than it used to, but I decided against doing so. | |||

Cheers. Glad to see you. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

The esteemed JALLEN has passed away. Para, as the owner, is obviously the most influential poster on SF. After Para, Mr. JALLEN had the most positive influence in setting the tone, IMO. There was a thread for collecting recipes. I am unsure of the final result. Probably the best method to find topics of interest during your leave is either a specialized Gulagle search or the Wayback engine. IIRC, I contributed recipes for cold soup.

Have you signed the updated waiver? -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

That's the joke, man.  A slightly more sophisticated version of that joke, in response to the OP's question, would be to say "Off the top of my head, my sack hangs lower than it used to" but this ain't slow-pitch softball. | |||

Welcome back. Cheers. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Nice. I was a chef in the early 2000's and ran away screaming from that industry! Best of luck to you, it definitely takes a certain mindset to want to work that field, some would say crazy but if you like what you're doing then more power to you. | |||

Speaking of chefs I have been invited to a James Beard Foundation dinner in a few weeks. Is it worth going? PS welcome back. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Yes but, keep it in perspective. My understanding is those chefs/restaurants preparing the meals are doing it for free, ergo their efforts should they be well received, get exposure to big media and leading figures in the culinary world. What's the occasion for the dinner you're attending? Their annual awards they give are recognized as the top-tier of US culinary industry, similarly to how Michelin awards are revered in Europe, chefs, restauranteurs and others are recognized and lauded...rightfully so. The James Beard America's Classics Award I look forward to yearly and bookmark those locations. Unlike most awards that are looking for new, inventive and industry leading, the Classics recognize long-time family-owned restaurant that are apart to the fabric of the community. | |||

I am not a chef; I'm not even a cook. But I did get glowing reviews of my briskets I served recently for a house warming party. It was my fourth time using the smoker which included a practice run on a brisket. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

My old granddaddy said that "gravity attacks the body like a hungry hound-dog jumps on a home-made biscuit sopped in bacon grease.!" (Of course, granddaddy used a lot of his "home-made medicinal cough syrup" to ease the gravity damage to his body. Maybe he mis-judged Mother Nature.) Since I inherited some of his prowess for "liquid cooking", would that give me any credentials towards being a chef? | |||

It’s part of their “Taste America” series that is being held in several cities across the US. We will be at Curate, one of the best restaurants in Asheville, NC and home to several award winning chefs but will include other chefs from around the country as I understand it. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Same waiver, Para changed the font to something more regal a few years ago. Some people have passed, some got “voted of the island”, some are new. Pretty much the same old cool place to hang out, listen to some folks, learn new stuff, bitch about things, share some ideas back and forth.
