Morning everyone =]
my French onion soup was delicious last night! I'm really surprised with how it came out since it's the first time I ever made it. Yum! Def need to save that recipe!

Other than that work has been stupid busy this week. Got my health insurance reimbursement check in the mail yesterday which was pretty sweet. getting my tuition reimbursement check in my next paycheck on the 22nd.

Still haven't heard back from my doctor on the results of my biopsy though... Have any of you guys ever had to get a biopsy done for anything? The papers they gave me said the results could take up to 3 weeks, when I called to make the appointment the lady said 2 weeks for the results, the dr on Thursday said that she'd call me (with good or bad news) on Monday because that's when she figured the results would be back. When do you think I should call to follow up?

It is so simple it isn't funny to do the work. I was amazed when I did my cam install myself. You just get a teardown book and follow the directions. The hard part is finding the right combo of parts and getting in tuned correctly. But any preforance shop can advise you on parts.

Yeah I mean I only did a head gasket on mine because you need a lot of special tools to do a valve job and I was too cheap to do the bottom end, but presuming you can follow directions and pay attention to details it's purely methodical. I would say it's easier than mudding a wall where there is a certain technique and finesse that makes it more of an artform.

its just the simple fact that i never said one thing negative about this kids car, not once or that my car was faster than his, and all he can do is bash me and talk ****.

I guess people will never change lol. I had a lot of respect for his car when we were in hs but now i just want to kick his teeth down his throat.... of course only because to threatened to beat me up when i gave him a taste of his own medicine.

oh well. yay for almost 12. its retarded cold out!

I think the traditional types of cheese are Fontina or Gruyere. I used slices of Swiss cheese from my lunch meat drawer lol. Otherwise it was a really simple recipe I got off of google. Very few ingredients. Took about an hour to cook the onions. 15 minutes for everything else. The recipe I used was vegetarian but the only difference is the type of broth. If you're interested in the recipe lemme know I'll pm it to you.

I used Alton Browns recipe before and loved it. But i'm all about trying new things so sure if you can PM it to me that would be great. Altons is a bit on the un-healthy side (beef broth and butter)

ken, thanks I'll check that out as well.

HickRocket1258 01-13-2010 01:01 PM

Slow in here. Come on. Have another 4 hours here today, then dentist at 4:45, then other job at 6 if I can make it there on time.

Meeshell 01-13-2010 01:01 PM

Alton Brown also has a million ingredients and sometimes makes things too complicated. lol typing it up now for you, Chris

grimm 01-13-2010 01:04 PM

on a more serious note I can't help but think about the earthquake in haiti. My aunt who just got out of the hospital was supposed to have arrived there yesterday with a group of people from my church. She obviously didn't go since she was in the hospital, but 20 other people from my church are there. Their flight landed at 1:30pm and no one has heard a thing from them since. They were supposed to be staying south east of Port Au Prince up in the mountains and away from most of the "city". But looking at the photos online I just can't imagine the destruction that has happened. If the capital building crumbled i would say that 90% of their structures are destroyed if not all of them. It's just a very sad event.

Your face has a million ingredients and is too complicated.

indeed he does sometimes complicate things, but it's usually for a good reason. and his food is always fantastic. But none the less thanks! I appreciate it! simple, healthy, and good works for me.

nom nom nom

Scapegoat 01-13-2010 01:08 PM

Alton doesn't use a ton of ingredients. He uses the right ingredients. He does make it seem complicated though because he goes into detail about the main ingredient, what to use and why to use it. But i like that approach better than, "you throw all this into the pan for 5 minutes, then the oven for 5 minutes, then you jerk off into the dough and it just works!"

With Alton... if you follow his recipe and it comes out wrong you know why haha
