Any old timers still around?

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I don't think you were posting as much then as you are now. Cause I really don't remember seeing you in that lounge.

And I'd hate to change topics from such an engrossing conversation, but I was talking to a friend of mine last night, and I told him about the time spider1 got super fucking drunk and dropped the "banne" on the admiral's lounge. And how another lounge moderator (I wanna say ... Captain Ice?) stayed up for hours un-banne-ing us. Good times.

Nope. Missed that as well. Must have been during my hiatus. Shameless! Good to see you!

I lurked before actually joining, mainly because I was already on some other boards regularly. All I remember in 1999 is that a lot of people left the main board I went to so I started posting somewhat irregularly here.

^^ Wished I had the opportunity to visit again, I still fondly remember your cooking.

She cooks too?

[Ulva]

Yes I do. Don't everyone?

[cooleddie74]

I do, but the less said about some of my skills the better.

I should have added "well" as was implied.

Nothing sexier than a woman who can cook. But not because I want her to go make me a sandwich, but because she can't fully appreciate the awesomeness of my cooking unless she can do it herself.

Some of us can manage to set off the fire alarm while making a frozen pizza, so the answer to that would appear to be "no."

The more you know and the more interested you get, the more appreciative you become when you come across someone with obvious knowledge and skill. It's the subtle things, nuances, that's noticeable. But never marry a chef. You'll be doing all the cooking and get Guide Michelin critique every day.

Did the microwave live to tell that story?

As a German proverb states: Love comes through the stomach

I agree that only a good cook can appreciate the quality of cooking. I remember one of my first dinner dates with Daystrom, who is an excellent cook himself. He sat there, eyes fixed on me and grinning like mad. "What?!" I demanded and he said: "I've never seen someone enjoy their food that much."

Btw, if you ever happen to meet him, try his beef stew, his chicken curry or his gumbo - yummy stuff!

Gumbo! And Curry! I love it! Actually, I love almost any kind of food.

And cinnamon rolls with milk is the way to any man's heart.

Except mine. I hate cinnamon rolls.

And milk.

[CorporalClegg]

I love curry.

Actually it was the regular gas oven...
