Freak By Night

I just googled for this butter chicken slow cooker recipe if you wanna make it from scratch. Butter Chicken recipe from justslowcooking.com I think I'll try it sometime soon.

I know two people who voted for O'Brien because they didn't want a "faggot" running the city.

Today, Leafs fans and Sens fans are all brothers. Brothers in mediocrity.

Have a good one!

11:45 is very good for me.

I made this side-dish for last year's Xmas dinner and it was a big hit. I might do it again this year. I used vegie broth instead of chicken broth. INGREDIENTS 7 cups low-sodium chicken broth 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed 1 1/2 pounds rutabagas, peeled and cubed 1 1/4 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces 8 cloves garlic, chopped fine 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon dried thyme 3/4 cup butter, softened 3 onions, thinly sliced salt to taste ground black pepper to taste DIRECTIONS Combine chicken broth, potatoes, rutabagas, parsnips, cloves, bay leaf, and thyme in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and cover partially. Simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 30 minutes. Drain. Transfer vegetables to large bowl. Add 1/2 cup butter or margarine . Use an electric mixer, beat mixture until mashed but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mashed vegetables to a buttered 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter or margarine in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions. Saute until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Saute until onions are tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and saute a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spread onions evenly over mashed vegetables. Casserole can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes, or until heated through and top begins to crisp. Servings: 9

I'm partial to that Indian buffet on Albert St. I'm thinking we should reserve someplace as early as possible.

How about the India Palace near the corner of Albert & Kent? I've never been there but I heard the lunch buffet is good.

Count me if it's Tuesday. Ollie, there's always the "liquid lunch" option.

There's one in Bayshore, and also one in Kanata and one in Orleans.

See you there. Anyone else is welcome to join us of course.

Hmm has to be somewhere pretty close to my work. I'm still limping. How about Dunns on Queen St. ?

I'll join you for lunch Booche.

My deepest sympathies go out to Marcel's friends and family. Makes you realize that anyone can go at anytime.

Applicable over here in the Sens thread too! 6-nil. this is awful.

I hate to nit-pick but Dion was born in Canada. He holds French citizenship because his mother was born in France.

Saved from what?

My new year's eve will be relatively boring. Pun intended - spending the evening with relatives.

My brother gets perks like this quite often. He works at the hotel in Toronto where most of the rockstars and movie people stay. I guess the secret is to get yourself a job where you're going to have the opportunity to meet a lot people in the entertainment business, and schmooze them!

I saw Tony Clement (Minister of Health) at Beckta's restaurant earlier this year. He's surprisingly short.

Thanks everyone for your vibes... it's working, I'm slowly recovering. Those pills are starting to do the job.... I guess you have to take them for a few days before they kick in. Unfortunately I'm going to be laid up for a couple of more days. What really is painful is sitting in a chair... which means I can't go to work. I've got a great friend taking care of me, cooking and pouring glasses of wine so it's all good.

Hopefully those pics and stories involve those condoms and thongs with the Liberal party logo!

Basically my injury was totally my own fault for not stretching before exercising.

Thanks folks. I just watched a movie on the satellite called "Swamp Women". So it's all good.

Hi everyone. Well I don't normally ask for kind vibes or whatever, but I am going to be laid up for a while with a leg injury. I thought I would be over it in a couple of days, but a visit to a physiotherapist today made me realize it's going to be at least another week. The pills I've been prescribed only offer mild relief.
