Do you guys have a chat function on this forum, or do you use Yahoo (etc) to chat with each other, or do you not chat with each other apart from on the forum? Just curious :)
-
Private messages and emails for the most part.
-
Same here. Though I have added some people to my FB friends from this site.
-
Thanks ;)
I've never come to terms with FB. I signed up for it and received messages from people I hadnt seen since 1982 to tell me how much they'd missed me, including one very demented girl who had an epileptic fit every time I was with her. I upchucked at the thought of re-visiting my youth, then spent two years wondering what FB is actually for.
I know, Im weird :D
-
Not at all--there's lots of us who just don't get the idea of plastering the world with inane pictures and information--an electronic and perpetual holiday greeting letter that people think we want to read.
-
Finally, a man who gets my drift :D
Facebook is officially on my 'Jay Leno / Ice Cream Sucks' list.

I draw the line at ice cream, but I can waist a lot on that subject. :D

Eww.
I dont even know what a grit is, but still, eww.

Grits--comfort food from the Land of Dixie! Made from corn--if you like corn chips you will like grits. This is a fancy breakfast or a nice Sunday supper. It's shrimp & grits--heaven on a plate.
• 3 cups whipping cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 finely minced toes of garlic
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup stone-ground grits
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 4 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 1 cup thinly sliced scallions
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
Directions
Add grits and garlic to the milk and cream. Add salt and pepper. Bring to simmer in a heavy pot and cook stirring occasionally until liquid is absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and cheese.
Fry the bacon in a large skillet until browned; drain well and chop bacon set aside. In grease, add lemon juice, chopped bacon, parsley, scallions and garlic until softened and add 1 tablespoon flour cook slowly for 3 minutes stirring. Add one cup hot chicken or beef stock. Simmer for 30 minutes until reduced by one half. Add shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through.
Spoon grits onto plate, top with shrimp sauce. Serve immediately.

*adds grits to jay leno list*
Um, I hate to tell you this, but I dont eat seafood either :(
The recipe itself doesnt sound too bad I suppose. I always imagined grits to be like sawdust.
-
I'm a yankee boy,but when I was in the service I remember eating grits mixed with eggs for breakfast. I can say that I did like them. `dr**l
-
Grits are yummy................ you should try them on your ice cream! ;D
-
*heave*
I'm really not someone to judge food though. I like eating cold pizza for breakfast, so that just goes to show how demented I am.

Yeah, you should have gotten over that about 25 years ago. ;)
-
:D I know, but I just cant help myself. I even like Velveeta, but thankfully that cant be purchased here
-
Velveeta makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches. `dr**l
-
Velveeta and Spam.....now your livin. #ng^y
-
Eww, Spam. Eww eww. At school they used to force me/us to eat deep fried battered Spam (Spam fritters), mashed potatoes (which always had lumps in it), and cabbage that had been cooked for around 83 years.
-
Oh, and on the subject of chat :D
Overnight, I had three friend/buddy request thingy messages on Yahoo messenger, but I don't know who they're from, because I don't recognize the user name/screen name/whatever they're called :) I assume they're from SBG's because I don't really talk to anyone else online.
I'm always happy to chat, but preferably I like to know who I'm chatting to :P I got into a situation a few months ago where I was chatting to a guy who had requested to join my buddy list, and I thought I knew who he was, but it turned out I didn't have a clue and it was all quite hair-raising. Not that I have any hair...
So if you add me to your Yahoo buddy list, let me know who you are :D and if you added me yesterday and I didn't approve the request (or whatever the technical term is), dont take it personally, but for all I know, you could be my scary stalker from school (Juliet) who had an epileptic fit every time she was close to me, and if you think I'm kidding, I aint! Her eyeballs used to roll around in their sockets for about 10 minutes and she used to go as stiff as a board, then she'd snap out of it and carry on as usual. I felt sorry for the girl, but there wasn't much anyone could do, and it can be a little off-putting for a 12 year old boy when he's trying to eat spam fritters and overcooked cabbage.

Spam would never find its way into my mouth, thats guaranteed. I'm a Velveeta freak but I know its crap so I'm quite pleased I cant buy it, but Spam? Eww. EWW.
-
I agree don't take me seriously, I wouldn't eat that either. f*rg^
-
For being so unpopular Spam has certainly been around for a long time.

Yeah but so has camel 5h1t and I wouldnt want to eat that either :o
-
Grits, Spam, whatever....strokes and folks y'all.
-
I'd probably eat a grit just as long as I didnt have to eat a prawn (shrimp). Eww.
Spam has no chance though. You can have my portion :D
-
You have to wonder who buys all that Spam. Nobody seems to like it, but somebody must be buying it. The only people I ever knew who liked it were Brits.
-
Admittedly, it is (or at least was) very popular here. Spam (the company, whoever they are) has just started advertising on tv again, and I dont remember them doing that since the 80s.
Eww.
On the flip side of the coin, faggots are no longer advertised on tv here for some reason, and they're just as repulsive as Spam. And before you all go :o, its a meatball made from pork and liver. Eww.

And you wonder why I only eat when I get to America???
-
I have no idea why a commercial using the word "faggots" would be pulled off the air. (gimme a break).

It's big in Hawaii! :D
-
Hey, now that you mention it that is correct, I had forgotten about that.
-

It would be pulled off the air in a heartbeat in America, but in the UK, 'faggot' doesnt have the same meaning, so there'd be no reason to pull commercials for faggots.
Homosexuals in the UK arent called faggots. Thats one Americanism that (thankfully) hasnt been adopted over here.
-
Didn't they use to use the same word for cigarettes in the UK...?
-
Fag, not faggot. In America, both Fag and Faggot are used to describe gentlemen who have an attraction for other gentlemen, but here, the two words have no connection to either each other or to homosexuality.
A faggot in the UK is a meatball. Just about everyone knows what an American means when he or she talks about a faggot, but nonetheless, the word isnt used here in that respect.
Our language has been littered with a lot of Americanisms over the last few years (the most annoying being 'awesome'), but faggot (meaning: homosexual) isnt a word or term that has been adopted here.
There are plenty of others people use, but not faggot.
