YES! This saved my afternoon.

Are you actually surprised that the Dead sounded bad?

Happy days Punk.

Wow, if people have to drink McDonald's coffee every day for two weeks for them to like it, I'd skip it entirely.

Ooooooooo This makes me happy!

Coo, thanks.

Does anyone know where Flippy is right now? He has our PA system so I need to touch base before he leaves town.

I've seen recipes for the following that make my mouth water but I haven't tried them yet. Ponzu, green onion and micro-diced radish Sake-citrus granita and fresh cucumber-radish

This thread title reminded me how much I enjoyed grilled green onions last year. We have to do that again. I never thought grilling green onions and lettuces (raddicio, romaine, endive, etc.) would work, but it really brings out such unique flavours. Give it a go.

As some of you may know, I organize community outdoor movies throughout the summer. This year I'd like to have a complete calendar prepared in advance for ease of marketing. I therefore need to make my movie selections now. So what movies are your all-time favorites? They can be old or new, but have to be G or PG. Last year we did: 11th hour Batman Back to the Future This year I need 4 movies. I'm thinking of this one:

bouche and I are going to the Sci Fi Spectacular at the NAC this Friday. Jack Everly, conductor George Takei, narrator Kristen Plumley, soprano Mike Eldred, vocalist The Ewashko Singers Laurence Ewashko, director Jack Everly and George Takei (aka Star Trek’s Mr. Sulu) boldly take you to where no orchestra has gone before – with John Williams’ film music from Star Wars, Superman, E.T., and Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone, plus great sci-fi and fantasy movie soundtracks including the main theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Commence geek jokes..... NOW!

I did hesitate, but then I thought that the hippies might KNOW some firecrackers.

We ate this two nights in a row and every single bite I went "MMmmmmmmmmm my god this is good." Every single bite.

I think we're going tonight and not tomorrow night.

OMG M.O.B.E that sounds fantastic. Hope you and the family are doing well.

Oh and Andre, THIS is ironic.

Music to my ears. I can't tell you how proud I am of you.

Funny you should say that. The entire episode, I could not stop thinking how much she looks like Crystal.

Did Ya'll know that IKEA sells houses? Link

The SAQs (Liquor stores) in Quebec no longer offer bags. It's a great start to a great trend.

Happy birthday! I absolutely adore you. MWAH!

Great input everyone. I was able to get a grip on what I'm doing. Thanks to my Skanks once again. You never let me down.

Thanks Jay.

MMmmm. Sounds great. They really do give out a lot of microgreens and sprouts. We throw away at least a container each week.
