I had a busy weekend with the oven. Friday I hit a little local market and got some fresh swordfish, I used a cast iron pan, some onion, asparagus, lemon, finished with a compound butter (head of roasted garlic, stick of butter, zest of one lemon, parsley, salt and pepper). Also some fingerling potatoes, olive oil green onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder.

We had a party for my 3 year old yesterday, I think there were more the 40 people in my back yard, I made 20 pizzas (2 gluten free).

I'm parsing your words a little to link your statement of Lups being an amazing chef to your other equally important statement....but hopefully enough so Lups can read between the lines. Or just the very last sentence you said.

Her head cannot afford to swell...and by the sounds of it, her family is doing an admirable job in preventing this - I didn't want to cause them to have to put in additional effort (though I suspect they are capable)...

Tara told me she can eat tofu and at that moment I knew our friendship wouldn't last.

To her credit, she did take me to an awesome food market thingy so she has a good taste in what she eats at least at times! As for my cooking, I'd probably kill most of you with my spices.

Joe! My bid on the house went through! ... And now I'm so ashamed of myself for being such a bitch about money again.

What?

I thought you put in a bid that was absurdly low so it WOULDN'T be accepted? What happened?

Same house you sent drawings, or different?

The same. I am ashamed of myself, it feels like I'm ripping off innocent people.

Hmmm...I see. Well, happily, I have a solution.

To make up for the obscenely low offer that they accepted because they are desperate, I would suggest you offer them a month of home cooked meals.

Then, immediately request a month of frozen home cooked meals from your mother in law. This will make your mother in law feel appreciated and needed, which is a win for you and for her. Admittedly, probably also a strange departure from past history, but these are desperate times.

Then, provide the meals your mother in law cooked to the family you ripped off and pass the meals off as ones you have prepared (and this is critical). This provides them with food for a month, which is a win for them.

AND, even better, if your MIL's food is really as bad as you make it out to be, that family will reach the conclusion that they feel very sorry for your family that they have to eat this all the time and they will no longer feel bad about their own circumstances of having been ripped off because comparatively, they are in a better place than your family. Which is a win for you.

See? Win-Win-Win (yes, a strange triple win - but you win, they win, and as an added bonus, I threw in your mother in law to the equation for an additional win).

You have love how people can come together on these boards to create an international solution to a problem caused by a milk shaming Finn.

Nobody deserves that faith. You're a horrible man for suggesting that.

And fyi: I was pulling an epic vegetable dish out of the oven while reading that and now I'm not hungry at all! Fucker!

In my experience, vegetable dishes can only be epic if they involve excessively large quantities of fat / oil and salt.

Therefore, I can only conclude I must have just saved you and your heart from an impending attack. In the words of MKSixer - You're welcome.

I'm only mystified as to why Lups continues to ignore my sage advice time and time again. Tsk tsk. It's almost like she knows better. But that would take a certain degree of maturity. So that can't be, can it?

Can we move that to the summer?

I'd lie to you and say I went but that's not my way. I have three project families in the air, the damn hubby wants a house, and I have to make 20k to finance a project for girls in Kenya I want to donate to (the nun) while brushing my teeth.

Usually I'd have the time to admire the culture in a religious community but I'm in a tough spot here. I hope I get a pass since I'm not spreading my agenda so I'm asking for a mulligan for a while.

Very well - I'll see what you come up with to keep you occupied in the summer. I'll remind you then.

I'm the antichrist!

I'll go do the time if you think it'll be more useful there than in what I what I do irl.

My soul is black. I'm not going to be saved. I'm a killer, and the coldest person around here. There is no retribution for an atheist with my crime list.

I think I just killed this thread for grilling.

No...no you are not the antichrist. And while I know you are joking, there are many examples of people who sinned greatly who were saved - in fact, one example springs to mind: A man that had sex with another man's wife, got her pregnant, and to cover it up, had her husband killed. So an adulterer and a murderer. And he became a man after God's own heart.

That's the thing - there is hope for every one, no matter what we think we've done. And I do think it could be more useful there than what you currently do, though realistically, I think it would focus you even greater on the work you currently do and you would see a blessing to that work...so I do see a greater impact. So I am going to follow up with you later...expect it!

Oh shut it. I open this thread about 17 times a day and I ordered a granite slab for my oven bottom already and I don't even have the yard to build it to yet. This thread causes serious envy and I'm pretty sure that pizza dude is a diabetes fairy!

To be honest, even before I saw the pictures, I had been seriously contemplating building my own pizza oven. It would look like a piece of crap, no doubt, because it is built by me, but this thread has renewed my interest in possibly doing this in the summer or the next.

Thing is, I have not the first clue when it comes to masonry. But I really have the urge to try to build one...

Hou je mond. I like derailing threads.

And in advance, ik sprek geen nederlands. I only picked up a few phrases (which I'm sure I butcher) when I was there for a few months.

And what the heck is with you guys and your pronunciation of "g". Why does it come out sounding like a really harsh "h" sound? Couldn't you just use an H instead? Fricks sake - made it real difficult.
