Suggestions for topics in this conference

Those are great ideas. I'll create them now.

I left out your suggestion on restaurants, because that may become an entire separate conference to be called 'restaurants'.

Oh, goodie-goodie! WER

How about a section on restaurants and we set up International Pages? US, Australia, etc?? I'm sure we can spark interest as everyone's gotta eat!! **licks lips**

You asked and you shall receive. I'll build a restaurants conference. We need one!

Thanks - I look forward to it!!!

Coffee What I crave at this particular moment in time (food-related, of course)

Same here. Thoughts of caffeine dancing in my head.

And what are you craving this moment in time, Stacey? (or the moment in time when you read this?)

Italian topic

really?

I do. Pizza, that is. Going to order one as soon as I get up.

And how was it?

Was it from Pizza Hut, girl? The one we ordered from the other night? Now that was mighty good!

Yep, the very one.

Just curious Riette, what do you like on your pizza?

I hope this isn't going to be too much of a reflection on my personality, because I like my pizza boring. Cheese, pepperoni, pineapple - that's it. You?

That sounds good. also Canadian Bacon + pineapple, Jalapeno + anchovies+ pepperoni, Shrimp + Lobster + tuna + pineapple, BBQ beef + Jalapenos

They sound great combinations for dishes. However: does it still taste like pizza?

YES!!! However , I like pizza just about any way it is made. Tell me Riette, have you ever had a calzone?

I have no idea what that is - so I don't know if I've had it.

It's like a pizza sandwich, crust top and bottom, toppings in middle.

No, never. But it sounds good ... especially for lunch.

It is very good. Quite the rage in Italy I've been told. We'll have to get some.

Yes; for on the way to Mexico. So, we're going to watch Archie videos, and make a trip to Mexico, and go pubbing a bit. What else?

OK Riette, here goes: Eat some Thai food. Go to the roof of the capitol building Go to the roof of the UT tower. I'd hate to plan much more than that, because there will be a whole bunch of, as the spirit moves you, things.

There's Sixth Street and the Drag. And sunset at Laek Travis.

Sunset at lake travis would be a good idea. We already have sixth st planned.

We're going up on roofs? Could we have a picnic up there? I know there are better things you like to do on roofs, so this may not appeal! Sunset at lake Travis sounds great. And what are Sixth Street and the Drag??? Do I have to bring naughty clothes for that?

Sixth Street is one of the places we are going, The drag is also a party scene, but it attracts a HUGE amount of underage kids because Sixth street is strict about that. You can wear just about anything you wish, and you'll fit right in either place. I will look for a rooftop that we can picnic on. It just might work on the UT tower.

That sounds marvellous! I have a feeling my American odyssy is going to turn out to be a kind of funfare! Speaking of which! Do you have funfares in Austin??

No riette, we don't, not at that time of the year. But I will try to make your American oddessy as much fun as you can handle.

Like a dive bomb ride! Up, down, tumbling round!

For sure, Riette, For sure.

Would it made you seasick?

Riette, nothing makes me seasick. I crewed on racing sailboats in the SORC in the 1970's

And I'm supposed to believe that - how na�ve do you think me?? Or is it merely a typing mistake? (as in _crewed....)

Ok Riette, I was a crew member on a racing sailboat several times in the 70's, in the south Atlantic conference

A crew member or a screw member? (Sorry, I could not resist! And besides, you were asking SO hard...)

I was, Wasn't I , Riette.

Very hard indeed.

Very hard indeed. (she says wistfully...)

Riette, I thought you liked it that way. Was I wrong?

I DON'T THINK SO! You MUST know how hard I like it by now!

Yes, I do. Riette, this was one of those open mouth, insert foot things.

ha-ha! Nevermind foot...!

Anytime, Riette, You know it!!

You seem a very romantic kind of guy - are you, Tim?

Oh, and I wanted to ask you: how is that girl you told me about on the phone? You know, the one you said you spoke to every day. Are things going anywhere with her?

Yes, Riette, I guess I Am. The Relationship is definitely exothermic at this point.

Any sex yet?

Seafood.

Can I have an African food topic please. I got some nice recipes you might like to try.

Of course, please start it!

Thank you, I will!

Yay! But you're gonna do most of the posting - I know nothing about African cooking. I do want the fried bread or whatever it was recipe!

Go look and do try the one I posted!!!! Now where do I put Navaho fried bread then??? It's a sorta ethnic recipe (not African, US I think) Advise please Oh those who control this topic!!!

Creating Ethnic Food of America (since we have British and African and Cajun and other specific places......

We had an international fair for our homeschooling group, and we were each to do a display about a different country/culture, with a snack. We did Native Americans and someone else did Kenya--guess what we both brought for the snack? That's right, fry bread.

for some wierd reason i thought there was a 'tomato' topic here. Perhaps I dreamed it! Anyway I wrote this 'poem' ditty to go in ti and then found there wasn't one! So I'll stick it in here instead. Tomato Memories Tomato soup ona cold winter's eve Warm and comforting Tomato chutney on a Summer salad Bright and cheery Tomato ketchup on fish and chips Wonderfully childish Tomato juice straight from the fridge Refreshingly healthy
