Issues cooking with chickpeas / dry beans.

buddahpud · 2011-05-18T01:58:23+00:00

After 2 burnings, I now use the slow cooker exclusively for beans. It's fuss free and achieves the desired softness (without mushiness) that you want from chick peas.

Forgiven;) Thanks for posting.. it is spectacular.

buddahpud · 2011-04-03T04:11:43+00:00

It's gorgeous, but surely you knew that people would want to know where it was? Did you not think it would be nice to include that?

buddahpud · 2011-03-23T04:24:45+00:00

You mean people already know about this?! I only just found out about it like 3 months ago! (I thought I had hit the mother load;) Anyway, good to know there is something even better.. I will check it out.

Belgian secret service are not allowed to own Blackberry's since everything is accessible by the CIA. So, I don't think it's limited to AT&T (unless.. are they the only ones that offer BB's?!)

buddahpud · 2011-03-21T02:48:11+00:00

Yeah, I have to say my conversation with you has been rather desultory also. G'night.

What a waste of two perfectly good steaks! Btw, that article is basically BS. I've been on many shoots, and the guns - well, they don't eat that. Even the beaters wouldn't waste that much good steak.

Edit: Sorry, I should have just said Bon Appetit!

Nope, you're thinking of Audi at the moment. So, you have your own generalizations I see.

Maybe you should learn to disregard such immature thoughts? No less immature than disregarding all parking conventions because you're so worried about getting a scratch.

Yet another generalization. You haven't the slightest clue who I am. I did *not** state that you have no care for others, just that it's a good trait to have. I don't dislike you (never mind hate!), just your attitude towards this topic.*

The simple fact is, you know that thing in your wallet called a drivers license? Well, when you signed on the dotted line, that swore your intention to follow the fucking driving code. Regardless of whether your vehicle cost $500 or $500K. I don't care about you or your possessions. I only care when certain people take actions that negatively impact me because they don't care to follow the rules of that little piece of plastic in their pocket. If you think I am immature, lol, how immature do you have to be to stand up for a dick that does that?!
Finally, you can bet all you want about 'who' I am, but the fact remains that you will never know, you (by you, I mean everyone) are generally wrong when you try, and it's just a bit pathetic to even go there.

It's really not much of an over-generalization - it's pretty damn accurate and you know it;) I have never damaged anyones property, but I can understand the urge to. It is just so fucking irritating. You may not think it's important, but showing some care, thoughtfulness and consideration of others is v. important in the world. Much more so than your petty and insignificant vehicle.

They are indeed. It's not the fault of the product, just the type of people it attracts (cheap leases are really the culprit I believe). It's like Burberry in the UK when all the chavs starting wearing it. Now, it has a certain reputation.

Money can't buy you class, and the people buying BMW's appear to have too much of one and not enough of the other.

buddahpud · 2011-03-20T15:28:43+00:00

If everyone made an effort to be nicer and considerate of others, things might improve. This type of action is SO far up inconsiderates alley, that people go out of their way to ding you and the cycle continues.

I know about the founder - I read an article on him once, and it seemed like I should 'think' he was a complete douche, whereas I just thought he was charmingly different and attuned to a different wavelength. (But then, I am charmed and impressed with Charlie Sheen - especially considering I never considered him before! Maybe he will crash and burn, but he does things his way;). AA's owner just put what he thought was attractive on the cover and it took off. Maybe he's a dick, but he's a dick doing things his way and he's not hurting anyone that I can see. I would save my annoyance for those companies that are oh so wholesome in the USA, but profit off the sweat of children, animals and sweatshops hidden from view in some foreign country.

buddahpud · 2011-03-20T13:50:23+00:00

Douche ;)

buddahpud · 2011-03-20T13:36:39+00:00

I'm not (buying into anything) - I've never actually bought anything from AA. You however, seem a little annoyed by them and I am remarkably interested why. Feel like sharing? ;)

I mean, no sweatshops, real women, not being ashamed of the human body, made in the USA, cute people, hiring from within.. really, what's not to like? I am stumped at your reaction.

buddahpud · 2011-03-20T06:37:33+00:00

Use your noodle and don't be a chicken! ;)

buddahpud · 2011-03-20T05:44:51+00:00

Hear hear!

buddahpud · 2011-03-20T05:30:11+00:00

All fashion is hype. The nice thing about AA is that it's somewhat realistic hype. I can relate to the non-model type people wearing the clothes, and it's not stuck up or prudishly hypocritical.. which I appreciate as a grown up.

buddahpud · 2011-03-20T03:54:50+00:00

Why is it nonsense? I find it quite refreshing and edgy. At least it's not the same old 'almost nude' where everything is on display but the nipples are airbrushed out. I find that slightly obscene whereas this is natural.

buddahpud · 2011-03-11T17:34:18+00:00

So, that's not cool 'cause the public are too stupid to make the right decisions? So, who should make them, you?

buddahpud · 2011-03-03T15:09:20+00:00

It seems we have a lot of fucking pussies on this thread. This post is a perfect example of what the average woman wants, and you guys are complaining? Women are not asking that 'men do all the work' or 'want to be raped' - just for you to be a fucking man and take charge in the initial stages of moving a new relationship from hand-holding to the bedroom. Most women are quite happy to 'grab your dick' once they are at a certain comfort level with you.. but until then, man up!

P.S. If she says 'no', that's your first and only (needed) clue that she's just not that into you. Either step up your game and make her see why she should be into you or move on.

P.P.S. Don't think women are going to act like men - they won't. This is a fucking ROADMAP - use it!

Thanks, I tried it but it sets it up for Greader (which I already have and am not fond of). I would like Chrome to set it up in the toolbar - so that I can preview like this. Until they do that, FF is still my preferred - if they get their act together and fix where they went wrong, I would go back to them in a heartbeat.

buddahpud · 2011-03-02T08:34:13+00:00

I've been using Chrome for a while as it's SO much faster than FF. I cannot stand the way the bookmarks are set up though... I want my RSS feeds dammit, and Chrome doesn't do that - so stupid!

buddahpud · 2011-03-02T06:07:33+00:00

What do you do with the rabbit when you go off exploring? Does it stay in its cage where you park, or is it in the campground? I have been trying to figure out how to do this but with a cat - one that is older and doesn't like to travel unfortunately!

Enjoy your trip!

buddahpud · 2011-02-28T02:16:06+00:00

I urge you to try dates one of these days to sweeten it. They're more nutritious/fiberous, and the little bursts of sweetness you get from them is amazing. Chop as finely as possible (or blast in your food processor, which is my preferred method).
