Suggestions for topics in this conference

~terry Mon, Nov 4, 1996 (07:54) seed

OK. OK. There are people here. There is an obvious need for some topics. So I created some: 2 1 What I ate today 3 0 What I cooked today 4 0 My kitchen 5 0 What about being a vegetarian? And I'm taking suggestions for more. You're right. It was about time we had something to talk about besides introductions here.

~KitchenManager Thu, Nov 7, 1996 (21:37) #1

~terry Fri, Nov 8, 1996 (08:02) #2

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

~terry Fri, Nov 8, 1996 (08:06) #3

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

~KitchenManager Wed, Nov 20, 1996 (13:14) #4

Oh, goodie-goodie! WER

~smckern Tue, Nov 26, 1996 (20:44) #5

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**

~terry Tue, Nov 26, 1996 (22:16) #6

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

~smckern Wed, Nov 27, 1996 (00:30) #7

Thanks - I look forward to it!!!

~stacey Wed, Nov 5, 1997 (11:03) #8

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

~terry Wed, Nov 5, 1997 (11:11) #9

Same here. Thoughts of caffeine dancing in my head.

~KitchenManager Thu, Feb 19, 1998 (00:05) #10

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

~mikeg Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (08:58) #11

Italian topic

~KitchenManager Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (10:19) #12

really?

~riette Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (11:05) #13

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

~KitchenManager Sat, Oct 24, 1998 (12:32) #14

And how was it?

~sonja Tue, Oct 27, 1998 (05:03) #15

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

~riette Wed, Oct 28, 1998 (00:49) #16

Yep, the very one.

~TIM Sun, Nov 22, 1998 (02:05) #17

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

~riette Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (00:33) #18

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?

~TIM Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (00:41) #19

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

~riette Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (06:50) #20

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

~TIM Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (10:20) #21

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

~riette Tue, Nov 24, 1998 (00:22) #22

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

~TIM Tue, Nov 24, 1998 (00:36) #23

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

~riette Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (00:53) #24

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

~TIM Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (08:42) #25

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

~riette Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (10:18) #26

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?

~TIM Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (12:03) #27

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.

~terry Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (13:02) #28

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

~TIM Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (13:50) #29

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

~riette Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (00:54) #30

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?

~TIM Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (01:23) #31

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.

~riette Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (09:56) #32

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??

~TIM Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (16:33) #33

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.

~riette Fri, Nov 27, 1998 (00:25) #34

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

~TIM Fri, Nov 27, 1998 (00:37) #35

For sure, Riette, For sure.

~riette Fri, Nov 27, 1998 (00:45) #36

Would it made you seasick?

~TIM Fri, Nov 27, 1998 (00:52) #37

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

~riette Fri, Nov 27, 1998 (15:04) #38

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

~TIM Fri, Nov 27, 1998 (15:13) #39

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

~riette Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (00:25) #40

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

~TIM Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (00:31) #41

I was, Wasn't I , Riette.

~riette Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (14:36) #42

Very hard indeed.

~riette Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (14:36) #43

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

~TIM Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (14:43) #44

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

~riette Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (00:55) #45

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

~TIM Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (01:03) #46

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

~riette Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (00:34) #47

ha-ha! Nevermind foot...!

~TIM Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (00:55) #48

Anytime, Riette, You know it!!

~riette Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (12:53) #49

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

~riette Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (12:54) #50

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?

~TIM Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (20:50) #51

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

~riette Wed, Dec 2, 1998 (00:39) #52

Any sex yet?

~TIM Tue, Dec 8, 1998 (17:47) #53

Seafood.

~sociolingo Fri, Jun 9, 2000 (03:31) #54

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

~sprin5 Fri, Jun 9, 2000 (07:35) #55

Of course, please start it!

~sociolingo Fri, Jun 9, 2000 (08:23) #56

Thank you, I will!

~MarciaH Fri, Jun 9, 2000 (11:17) #57

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!

~sociolingo Fri, Jun 9, 2000 (15:05) #58

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!!!

~MarciaH Fri, Jun 9, 2000 (19:08) #59

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

~autumn Sun, Jun 11, 2000 (14:33) #60

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.

~sociolingo Sat, Jun 24, 2000 (12:34) #61

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
