american (style) apple pie.. vanilla custard.. DELICIOUS!
that as dessert on top of the salty kind of crepes (rice, meat, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc as filling)
...feel like i had some lighter version of food porn.. hahah.
Food porn? You got my attention.
As for posting stuff while messed up in the head, don't feel bad, I've done that enough times :)
Hope you is feeling better by the way (that is in the sentence is a bit local talk, I don't want you thinking I'm stoopid).
Speaking of excavators, check this out... http://singularityhub.com/2012/02/19...-over-7-years/
As for flashlight addiction, check this post out that I replied to in another forum...find my responses further down :)

OK, you made me dig up one of my Costa Rica pics. Everything on that dish was just amazing, particularly the fried plantain, really really really good. :)Quote:

Rest assured bro that if it's edible AND if it's a size that'll fill me up, it ain't goin' back in the water.
I put my fish in buckets with water and by the end of the fishing, if there's not enough to fill me up or
if I catch them and they're very small, they go back in, otherwise, they're going in, but in my stomach!
As for drilling a hole in the ice, I think most of these people have a powered auger/drill
Hmmm Costa Rica eh? Food looks good.
It does and lotsa fruit too :)
You can't tell by looking at me but I love fruit :)
fruits are like mild tasting candy. so they are good. i like them too. but like always my tastes are simple.. gimme a banana and this gorilla is happy for a while. :)
---
about size issues.. guiri, you beeing on the hefty side also, where do/did you shop your clothes btw? i keep finding all the sizes here as "too small for (over)grown men like me".
currently i am specifically looking for work bib/overalls that suit a big guy with too big of a belly. it seems the euro-size overalls stop at size 62 or 64. so it seems that anyone bigger than that is not supposed to work anymore. and i think i need something like 68 to 72 to really have some manouverability (no idea as i havent found such sizes to try on yet).
always looking for t-shirts too. black, plain, loose, tall, preferably v-neck. that´ll do.
-----
today.. just potatoes and brown sauce (butter and flour done into a paste, fried till even brown colour and add water to make sauce)
all is cheddar! on pizza too.
in other words, thanks.
-i will go thru the links when i get the time to do so.. VERY helpful man! thanks! :) (took awhile to collect all that, so much appreciated!)
So what is the deal with mozzarella anyway? Homemade pizza is way better with cheddar. :)Quote:

i personally dont get mozzarella either.. but i rarely do eat cheese in general. cheese is good when its on top of my pizza or lasagne.. melted in.. and the basic yellow kind.
.
decent looking pizza.. whats in it?
mine has/had: looks like similar size of oven plate pizza dough made by yours truly, topped with some heintz ketchup, shredded cheddar cheese with minced meat, chopped bell peppers, tomatoes, champion mushrooms, pickles, pineapple and sundried tomatoes + few slices of salami. topped up with more cheese so the toppings will hold together. :)
----
dickies brand.. sounds nice and seems to have decent lineup.. but great. most stores selling them wont ship overseas because dicky rules. (
i did order a bib overall jeans from ebay for try out.. cheap Reed brand. will resell them if they are wrong size.. shouldnt be difficult. i know smaller and bigger guys that want clothes too.
and found "hanes beefy t" shirts.. ordered one to try out too.
when these arrive in few weeks i know better of my size needs. :) if i get around to it, i will also get the measurements to you guiri.
about them bibs.. if they are loose enough i can wear something under them if it gets cold.. so in general i dont need them quilt lined. work indoors mostly. and summer is coming! it gotta be! haha.
carhartt.. when i was smaller i liked their quality.. used their shirts and jeans till they got too wornout.. (it was actually before they really got popular here, kinda like catepillar, loved them and their ruggedness before they became mainstream.. and at the same time lost some of the quality) and carhartt, they used to have a jeans store in town selling them too, but they didnt get any of the big and tall sizes.. and they couldnt order any "in middle of season".. stupid reply if any. i do get it that they might not want to order special order items just for try outs ..but i bet if they had done so.. SOMEONE would of bought them anyways if they wouldnt of fitted me. i told them to order several next winter/spring/summer whatever season was next.. and then advertise it.. they will be sold out, guaranteed. but no. they didnt take the risk. so i stopped going there. if they just see and show items in catalog that might be available in 3 months time if i know the exact size and model i want i can get it.. hmm how would i know the size before i try them.. cycle nver ends.
its something i always mention to one "higher" end store (selling gant, ralph lauren etc) that funny thing that when they order in clothes, its the BIG sizes that are sold out in few days or weeks.. maybe there is a market to order MORE of them as they are the ones that always end up sold out first. and the tiny s and m sizes are the ones they must sell for discount next year. skip the tiny, go big i said. for years they didnt listen. but past few years they actually got themselves a big sizes only clothes line. expensive and not really equal quality in comparison to same prized other clothes.. but even on this brand.. the sizes i use are always the first to be sold out. hahah. the slightly smaller ones are there and the huge tent section too. (so i keep telling them to order more of the "middle" big sizes just in case they do not know what they are doing.. because it seems they dont. if any size sells better than others, or runs out, order more. dont wait till next season)
i just know that there would be decent market for big guys clothes here in my town too.. just basics, plain shirts, pants and jeans.. there are few bigntall type stores in the whole country but they do not offer anything basic. they only have logo or other screenprinting t-shirts. smart casual or business shirts and pants they offer and i did buy myself a long black coat for funerals last year from them.
but once again, the biggest negative, there is no "average joe" work wear. big size overalls, bibs, etc. those should be available too. if not by default, but by special custom request. for no extra charge (or maybe small percentage on top of the basic lineup)
i remember going to one company that is specialist with tools and work clothes.. selling and supplying tools and clothes to big companies in area.. kinda prides them selves "if we dont have it on the shelf we will order it for you" so i went looking for bibs.. got their biggest size on but couldnt close it up..also couldnt bend or butt part would of split in two.. haha so i was there grunting behind the curtain saying to the shop keeper that "nope too small" and then the manager of the clothes section came close to say "oh give me the small ones and i go get the right size, i know where the big ones are" --so i handed them to her and i could hear her gulp.. "umm these are the biggest we stock.. hmm.. i will call our supplier, they do make bigger sizes too on custom order.." i say "fine, i dress up and come there to talk to them if needed and we can get the measurements for them" ....all giddy i was, yay.. gonna get me custom made bibs finally.. but no. when i get to the office from the dressingbooth she says that the company dont do custom jobs anymore and if they would do they would want to make more than 10 of same size.. 2 or 3 i would of easily bought but not 10. everytime i go there to buy tools etc i do ask if they have clothes for "grown ups" already.. but no, only "childrens sizes". so no luck. hahah.
Personally, I LOVE mozzarella and funny that I just ate me a piece. I get a big block of it sometimesQuote:

In sweden they use this melty damn cheese for pizzas and you can literally POUR the cheese off the
pizza when it comes out of the oven. Tastes good but that's about it.
For pizza I think it's great and again, I love that stuff but then, I like most cheeses :)
hanes beefy t.. i think i took size 5xl to try out. and i think it was 19dollars shipped. (if its too small i know if the biggest fits, if it is a tent, i know roughly which size will be good to go..)
-----
found my parents old breadmaker machine from storage.. hmm wonder if it works still.. will try it out in weekend if i got time.
----
been having "twix" addiction.. saw a 10pack sold for 3.99.. and they were fresh.. so i now im on third 10pack since last week.
-----
today my sandwich was of rye bread, 4 very thin slices turkey ham (pet peeve of mine, they are too thin to be useful) and normal thickness meatwurst (felt that my body needed more salt), fresh cucumber slices, tiny cherry tomatoes crushed (the bottom part of sandwich had butter, the top half the tomatoes.)
the rye bread.. had half of it as a sandwich.. hahah.. http://tuotteet.porinleipa.fi/tuotte...grp=1&prod=252 its made here, literally a local bread, the name "porin poika" has my hometown name (pori) and "poika" means boy. so name means: boy of pori. and bakery is 2-3 miles away from me.
Yeah, let me know when you get the shirt. The ones I get will be much cheaper than that but of course, no sense in buying one or two but we'll talk
about that once you tell me about the size.
I had a bread maker and it works fine but I just dont' like that you don't get a hard crust like you would get if the bread
is baked in a reagular oven.
I saw this thing on tv a couple of months ago about Finland and they had some kind of bread, filled with fish or something.
$hitload of fish in there :)

That's the way I used to do it bro. I make a buttload at one time and then if I'm with someone, I just make'em while they eat'em hot.
If I'm by myself, I keep a plate hot while putting more and more creps on top of each other.
Mind you, I can't do that any longer 'cause I have gas and it heats the plates too much :)
Get you some of this and try on your crepes...well, doo doo, they don't have it any longer but they will.
Oops, here it is, don't know the brand but it should be fine http://www.malincho.com/p-6574-zenti...erry-340g.aspx
Anyway, give this a shotm, it's great stuff on fresh white bread with butter :)

Ever had jam made out of rose petals? http://www.malincho.com/p-7311-rose-...-jam-380g.aspx
There are even some with walnuts in it, great stuff.
May I also recommend http://www.malincho.com/p-5568-sheep...400g-14oz.aspx Bulgarians
make the best feta cheese in the world and by the way, we don't call it feta back there.
The melting temperature for this cheese is so high, you can fry it. It's great dipped in eggs
and fried http://www.malincho.com/p-5567-sheep...54g-1lb-5.aspx

npb: happy to hear you are entertained :)

guiri: oh you are talking about the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalakukko ..very cool to have some times.. popular in the northeast region of the country.. and the savory fish juices are kept inside of the bread.. making it very moist inside and hard crust on outside.. been a while since had one.. will think about getting one or making one..
and yeah.. the spongy feel of the breadmaker is reason why it got shelved.. the buns an breads are better from oven. the breadmaker thing does give you option of having fresh bread in the morning without actually worrying or doing anything for it.. just set it up in the evening.. put on the timer.. let it bake it during the night and then as you get up you can take the fresh bread out and eat it. but it is not as good as real thing..
----
sweet crepes are best off the pan.. fry one.. put it on plate.. start frying second one while the 1st cools down a bit on cold plate.. when you flip the 2nd over, you can try the 1st if it is good.. hahah.. so the second is the actual first (as the real 1. is eaten as tryout) .. sprinkle little sugar on top of the crepe, pour in the third.. when its done put it on top of the other.. lil sugar, and then continue to make some more.. try to make 4 or 5 of them before eating one in between or giving to someone lurking nearby begging for one.. (4 or 5 is enough to keep them all warm even one is taken out right out of the pan.) so when you are done they all will be still warm.
why does gas heat the plate too much? you kept the plate on the stove? hmm.. my crepes stay hot without outside heat if i pile enough of them on top of each other. (after 5 or so you can take one out of every 3 to eat and the rest stay warm) have you thought about one of those "keep it warm" oven heated stone or other serving platforms to keep the plate warm? pizza stone.. (they sell such here.. to get the "real pizza oven" kind of crusty bottom even in you normal oven) i use those as keeping something warm.. like the dessert that needs to stay warm for hour while we eats the dinner.. just chucked the stone into oven to heat up and then put it on the table to keep the food warm. (basic house bricks work too, the ones designed to build your fireplace are better but anything hard that stores heat and releases it slowly works.)
i dont need much on my sweet crepes.. often i have one or two with jam (strawberry most often) then the rest i eat with tablespoon of sugar sprinkled on top of each one.
some tasty icecream works on hot crepes too.. that i must do next time. chokolate chip vanilla and out of the frying pan hot crepe.. *drool*
one thing i dont get used to even if i kinda like them.. is mushing bananas or apples into the batter and fry them.. i like my crepes simple. and prefer just add flavor on top.
-----
my dad made american style apple pie few days ago again.. very nice.. will ask him do some more again someday..
Yep, that's the one. Big a$$ bread and fish thingy :)
Crepes with that sour cherry jam (hot) and cold ice cream on top is good too.
I do the same thing when I'm eating by myself sometimes. I eat'em while I cook
but the problem is, mine are so thin and the pan is so hot, I usually only have time
to roll the previous one up with sugar or whatever before I have to flip the one in
the pan, no joke. They are super thin and get very juicy this way. I make them with more
eggs than it calls for, butter and sugar in the batter too to keep them greasy and juicy :)
I used to have regular stove but now I have gas and they can't be turned on low enough NOT
to crack the plates but that's alright. I can preheat it and the crepes will keep it hot.
HOWEVER, I can't do that now as I'm a diabetic and could only eat a few anyway.
Kinda pointless if you can't eat at least 7-10 of these little suckers.
What the hell is Hot Deroni? It looks good...
I think I am getting addicted to Feta cheese, I have been eating it in salad for work lunches - trying to cut down on wheat :(.
Crepe pictures or I lock this thread, lol. ;)
Some kind of veggie mix. Good stuff most of that.
I wonder if you can get that stuff in England. I would think so but maybe more in London where you have
a lot of foreigners.
Want me to do a search for ya?
I agree, crepe pictures NOW!
Crap, I lost my long post :(
Anyway, found a website for ya in England..
https://www.bulgarianfood.co.uk/shop...ts_per_page=50
Play around with it and look at the different stuff.
Same stuff I showed before but this is in the UK.
They also have OTHER stuff which my US dealer doesn't have.
Let me know if you want me to recommend something.
The trick is to try different stuff to see what you like
and that way, you know what's available.

http://www.opensourcefood.com/people...-aubergine-dip I would not put parsley in as it is very strong tasting and might kill the flavor.
Also, my mom makes this with egg plants ONLY and I think it's better that way. It's much milder.

I take it you've eaten liver paté?
Thanks for looking Georgi, I just realised I drive past about 3 Eastern European Supermarkets every day! Only problem is, there is nowhere to park anywhere near them. I'll have to try and make a weekend trip to town and explore them.
I agree, this thread needs more pictures.
Do any of you guys use an Aeropress coffee maker? If not, you should! I just got one and it's great, very little bitterness with any beans tried so far. Recommended.
You're welcome.
I actually just came back from a foreign store. Normally I don't go there much (thank god 'cause I'd violate the shelves if I lived close to it)
because it costs me too much to drive there but today, I had to go close to it so I went.
Got me a pretty (wild caught) Red Snapper, some cow tongue, some cheap ribs for the dogs,
stuffed bulgarian peppers, sour cherries in a jar, liver paté, a coconut juice with coconut pieces in it,
some sour cherry juice, some Tamarind soda (from the Tamarind fruit which is sour, great stuff) and some
herb tea and some peppermint tea for a buddy of mine to try.
I'm happy as hell :)

tried streching the cheapos.. they only seem to respond to width.. LOL not the direction they shrink to ie lenghtwise. then gave up, i just keep ordering 5 new ones every 6-8 weeks, and keep moving the shorty ones into "junk shirt bin for shirts that are used when things get dirty".
dont really need much colours.. black is fine.

yesterday had a warm sandwich.. layered and put into oven.. layers were from bottom up: breadslice-hamburgerpatty-cheese slice-sundried tomato-bread-fried egg-bread-hamburger-bread-fried egg-ham-tomato slice-cheese-bread-cheese and cherry tomato on top. into oven so the cheese melts and all gets goooooood.. hah.
and yes.. only had one. couldnt muster for second.. had to eat it as breakfast.

Healthy lunch, spinach, rocket, pine nuts and feta cheese

Bonus view of my Vox Rhino Calf cheese knife!
Nog, you see if YOU can talk to this guy...I'm giving up :devil:
Hey, love that stuff. ARe the pine nuts fresh?
...and why the hell do I want to know about YOUR shirts? Seriously? Why? :devil:
Hey, did you get your Hanes yet? Let me know when you do for the size comparison.
By the way yall, I finally got my camera so I should be able to take the occasional pic :)
Damn, I'm hungry, may have to go and cook my cow tongue
Pics of the cooked cow tongue would help after seeing what it looks like when still attached to the cow, lol. ;)Quote:

this week i have been on liver pate binge.. pate on rye.. pate on fullwheat. pate on multigrain.. pate on french baguette.
tomorrow i think i will persuade my dad to make the reindeer (sauteed) and then some mashed spuds.. -found a chunk of it in freezer. (not sure if sautee it on water alone or add drop of beer in it)
-----
beefy t came.. glad to inform 5xl feels a bit loose on me! hah. (not enough width and shoulders obviously) hahah -been a while since i tried a shirt that is "too big".. they are normally somewhere between: ridiculous/too tiny and small/too tight/it will do just and just.
still waiting on the other stuff i ordered..
----
Always cook with beer instead of water. I have NEVER (until I got this pressure cooker a few months ago) cooked with water. Always beer or wine or both :)
I love pate :)
Ok, so what's the word, is 5x GOOD?
Mine are probably even bigger because they're stretched out.
What do you want me to do? Send you one of mine to try or get you a new one? I can get a new one
but I just don't want to screw them around for one t shirt since they're the manufacturers anyway.
I can just pop one in the mail for you if you want. I have them in RUST and a medium Blue and some
dark grey although the grey is NOT 100% for some reason. The other colors are.
The rust is nice but for some reason, it seems to me they are a bit smaller than the blue ones and they
are supposed to be 5x.
I've got about 30-40 total of these so pick one or if you want a new one, let me know and I'll send you the link with the color
choices and you can just let me know and I'll send it to ya.
I like the sound of that reindeer and I LOVE mashed taters bro :)
Finally got my camera by the way and my computer went ape$hit this morning.
Gonna send it back to the guy that built it to have him redo it but before that, I'm having
a new one built (had some old but nice parts that I'm gonna reuse) that I'll use as a spare/backup
puter and it's getting a 16 channel video surveillance card in it :)
Needless to say, NONE of my stuff will ever work RIGHT. I have too much stuff and not enough
knowledge and patience.
Here's a pic of the original computer build before I had it rebuilt and the configuration has
also changed on it a bit.
Check out how many usb ports it had http://www.1stchoicemonroe.com/image...ion-Jeff-3.jpg
i counted my usb ports. 3. hahah. so that is some serious cube you got there. are you doing the survellaince of the house?.. got cameras all over the outside and inside? i am thinking about one of those wildgame cameras, putting that into tree to record unwanted visitors, (have had some mild vandalism by teenagers) just havent found a good deal on one yet.
wine and reindeer.. hmm.. i think the flavour of the meat is enough and wine would hide it.. havent tried it tho. but beer it is today.
i think 4xl is the right size to me, as the 5xl feels a bit too big. not looking for just one shirt, as i always wear a t-shirt so i need atleast a couple.. you got any idea how much 5 or 10 of the 4xl in black colour would cost brand new? is that big enough to hassle them? :)
thin rye bread heated in toaster, butter so it melts, tomatoes anc cucumber and turkeyham.. and the other side (the top) of the bread got butter and liverpate.
I'm pm'ing you nonsence
Wouldn't surprise me - seems like most PM's I get these days are nonsence. :duh2:Quote:

but there is shread of truth in this.. it is one main reason of my nickname.. it stems out of frustration trying to log into email, irc and chatrooms.. decided that most of my chatter is nonsense.. so its better to make it clear to all. so they dont get offended by it all the time. hahahh.
..goes looking at the private messages.. will take while so i find them.. never had one here before i believe.. hahaha.

ate the rest of the liverpate. and lasagne. reindeer is still in freezer. (lasagne trumped it for now)
Don't you worry nonsence, I'm pretty sure it was meant for me...bad Kestrel!
lol, it is a challenge to deliver a deadpan joke online. Thx. :)
Not to worry. I'm a professional abuse receiver... :ohgeez:
Alright, where the hell is everyone?
I wanted to say that Nonsence's t shirts are here but mine (ordered myself some at the same time) aren't. What the hell kinda justice is that?
By the way, since Kestrel is watching, I'd like to point out that the t shirts are made of 100% cotton and cotton is considered food. Just take a look at this link..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weevil
Damn shipping cost as much as the shirts though :(
