    I have you all beat.

    My grand parents (dad's side) were farmers... cows and tobacco/grain. Every summer we'd go work the farm.

    Dinners were fresh steaks, homemade corn/green beans, homemade garlic potatoes (mashed or whole), homegrown salad, and an ice cold sweet southern ice tea with (honestly!!!) hand turned homemade icecream. Grandma could cook, rest her soul! And so can my mom! mmmmhmmmm.

    just be glad I'm not sharing my views on the origin and doctrines of islam. you'd wind up looking like like this guy:



    and as for your question "even though you may not agree with itDo you believe the Muslims have the right to build a cultural center,with a prayer room,two blocks from "911 GROUND ZERO"? "

    my answer is hell no they don't. this isn't some poor, peaceful congregation that's being unfairly persecuted by christians, whites, or the government. these are terror apologists that are hiding behind what makes our country great and thumbing their nose at us, and those that perished in one of our worst tragedies. A tragedy that was done to honor the same god they want to honor now by building this thing.

    we're supposed to play nice and be tolerant while at the same time comedy central has to censor themselves because they're getting death threats for having mohammed in a cartoon.

    It seems to me this whole first amendment, freedom of expression, freedom of religion thing is a real one fucking way street with them.

    so no, I don't think they have the right, and I don't give two dirty falafels for what they think they're entitled to.

    They say freedom of religion is so important, well fine.

    I'll support their lower manhattan mosque when they let christians and jews build churches and synagogues in mecca and medina.

    have a great weekend.
    I believe that Saudia Arabia has a few small rooms they call Christian churches;but I'm not so sure about Synagogues.But even if other Muslim countries banned them;with the power of the Internet ,It will help bring about the downfall of there dictatorships.For example, look at Iran;with the quasi-elite heads of power quashing a popular born rebellion.That civilian borne rebellion will I hope , be hard to stop. Our U.S. Constitution gives the right to express their freedom of religion regardless of whether it's two blocks from ground zero,or not .Meanwhile the whole world is watching;and if we deny the Muslims from building a Cultural Center with a Muslim prayer room there ;it would be a major recruitment tool for AL QUEEDA.Do you want to be a major recruitment tool for AL QUEEDA? "Homie don't think so". Also, it would be a major incentive to some of the people here in the U.S., who believe that if this cultural center is banned near GROUND ZERO,"There are two thousand more mosques to go";which is already starting to happen here in the U.S.:Texas,Tennesee,California,etc,etc.;which would be another tool for AL QUEEDA.My perception is ,that your opinions on this subject, are based on "old school ethnic politics";which I and Mayor Bloomberg loathe. It's been nice talking to ya .

    Get the recipes and (equally important) the techniques from your mom while you can. I really wish I had learned more from my grandmother regarding cooking while she was with us.

    Well, this is a real surprise to me since even our military chaplains weren't allowed to wear the Christian cross on their uniforms in Saudi and no one was allowed to wear a cross anywhere on their person if it was visible.

    To make matters worse, we had an entire "care" package to one of my troops confiscated because it contained (get this) Little Debbie "Christmas tree" cakes - which we had removed from the box to (we thought) eliminate any problems along these lines.

    This all occurred when we (the U.S.) was in Saudi to help stave off the potential aggression from Hussein's Iraqi forces (you know, to protect their a$$e$).

    Not exactly what I would classify as "tolerant" of other non-Muslim religions.

    Saudi Arabia imposes the strictest punishments in the region on those convicted of breaking Sharia law and has religious police in addition to general police.
    It’s vital that foreigners make themselves aware of the conduct required while living in Saudi Arabia, and particularly the following offences:
    • Men being in the company of women who aren’t close relatives.
    • Women being with men other than close relatives, who are treated as prostitutes and can be deported with a ‘persona non grata’ endorsement in their passports, forbidding them from returning to any Gulf state.
    • Women driving cars.
    • ‘Indiscreet’ dress (e.g. shorts or short-sleeved shirts for men, and uncovered hair, short dresses, exposed arms and shoulders for women).
    • Practising a religion other than Islam, carrying a Bible, wearing a cross.
    • Blasphemy, particularly if you swear at a Muslim, making derogatory remarks about Islam, taking the name of Allah or the Prophet Mohammed in vain, and any form of behaviour that’s deemed to be ‘immoral’. ................

    In Saudi Arabia freedom of religious expression is barred for all faiths apart from Islam. Public acts such as holding a Bible, wearing a cross, carrying a rosary or praying are outlawed.
    In theory the Saudi authorities allow private devotions to non-Muslims, but the religious police often take a tougher line in practice.
    On 23 April 2005, the Muttawa arrested 40 Pakistani nationals for celebrating a Catholic mass in a private house.
    Out of a Saudi population of around 21.6 million people, Muslims make up 97.3 per cent of the total, while Christians constitute 3.7 per cent, almost all from India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Egypt.
    Saudi Arabiaís economy heavily depends on migrant workers, but although they are allowed to work, they are not allowed to profess their beliefs.

    Well, if I was guessing I'd have to say about an hour for prep, 45-50 minutes at 425', another hour to cool, 15 minutes to cut, photograph, and consume, followed by 5 or 10 minutes alone with photoshop.

    Key on the techniques. My Grandmother, and mom, taught me how to make sopapillas and if I hadn't watched them and gotten the pointers I'd never be able to do it.

    Techniques indeed... I was taught how to scoop Chinese food accurately down to the microgram. For non-tippers, I scoop more onion than beef for you.

    al-qaeda is gonna do what they're gonna do.

    the "well we can't do that because that will make them mad and they will use it as a recruitment tool" is bullshit appeasement.

    Us not converting to islam is a recruitment tool for them. So fuck em.

    I'm just speaking my mind, which I'm allowed to do. And I absolutely refuse to edit my mindset to be "politically correct"

    See, you have to understand where I'm coming from.

    White, middle class, Christian, tax payer, gun owner, great credit, law abider.. yet it's somehow always my fault. I do not go out of my way to persecute or hate anyone.

    Yet I disagree with obama, so I'm a racist. I think islam is bullshit, so I'm a bigot.

    Well if I'm the bad guy then I'm going to own the role. Again, fuck em.

    It's a two way street.

    Tolerate my intolerance.

    I tick all the same boxes and my life is a breeze. No one blames me for anything and I stroll through my day with a big smile on my face. I wonder what's different between us
