sugo di pomodoro = fresh tomato based sauce

pancetta = salt cured pork belly meat

[Hellraiser]

pomodoro is tomato and pancetta is a type of bread I think? So basically he's eating spaghetti with some toast.

edit: I stand corrected he's eating spaghetti with pork belly.

I could have guessed better than that.

Speaking of spaghetti toast...did anyone ever eat Milk toast as a kid? It was bread stuck in a glasss of milk with sugar in it?

[Miss Philicia]

Obviously your suburban mind is seeping out this evening.

So I googled that (had too) and got a picture of lemons. So whats up

I got this:
Fusilli con sugo di pomodoro e pancetta by realityfood, on Flickr

You may be surprised, but I actually know what Fusilli means, but what do all those other words mean?

fusilli con sugo di pomodoro e pancetta = fusilli with sugo I gave pomodoro and pancetta, according to http://www.freetranslation.com/ - if you first mistakenly think it's Spanish, as I did.

However, if you wise up and realise it's Italian, you get....

fusilli con sugo di pomodoro e pancetta = fusilli with juice of tomato and bacon.

My thoughts exactly. It looks like some sort of intestinal parasite.

[Miss Philicia]

That's not what mine looked like. I can't be responsible for anonymous photos found on flickr.

But there's not much reason to further the discussion when a Texan and resident of the Isle of Man consider pancetta to be just like English or American bacon simply because it's also made from pork belly.

Now excuse me while I hand brew some Ecuadorian El Gavilán organic coffee.

We only have your word for that. Pictars or it was twenty times grosser.

'Scuse me missy, but I know what pancetta is and yes, it's available in shops here and I buy it now and then as a treat (it's quite tasty - but expensive - stuff imported direct from Italy).

Don't shoot the messenger. I was only reporting - verbatim - how freetranslation.com translated pancetta. The only part of your pretentious fancy-ass food description I was unsure of was sugo di pomodoro.

Stick that in your food-processor and grind it.

[Miss Philicia]

I find a food mill to more effective than a food processor for making sugo di pomodoro.

[Ann]

Heh.

I just realised I missed replies #650 thru #653 when I posted yesterday - because I went to the last new post since I'd logged on the day before and didn't notice the thread had grown another new page.

Oh well, shit happens - as the photo I posted will attest.

Of course you would, Miss Pretentiousness Personified.

Now you know what I really mean when I call you Miss Pee Pee.

I'm not sure why a simple $20 non-electric kitchen apparatus would be viewed as "pretentious" as opposed to an expensive food processor.

Do you have a banger stuck up your feces-encrusted bunghole today?

Because only pretentious retro-queens go for food mills these days. Keep up!

As for your second comment, I've got two words for you.

PS - I beg your Pretentiousness's pardon, but my bunghole is not feces encrusted, thankyouverymuch. I use moist toilet tissues, remember? My bunghole is as fresh as a spring morn after a refreshing April shower.

O rite -- the ones you think are great for anal dysplasia even though the lesions are several centimeters up one's anus?

[Ann]

O rite -- the ones you think are great for anal dysplasia even though the lesions are several centimeters up one's anus?

Yep, those are the ones. It doesn't matter how far up your ass the lesions are - when they are dealt with, most people end up with a sore ass due to the doctor sticking a camera and/or various surgical/medical instruments up there. Well, most people end up with a sore ass to some extent - although yours may be so used to foreign objects that it's just another day for you.

Moist toilet tissues or baby wipes are good for a sore ass, regardless of the cause.

Like I said to you earlier - please do KEEP UP!

Unlike you, Miss P has actually had anal dysplasia and had a lesion zapped with a laser. But the beauty of this forum is that folks are free to prattle on and on about things with which they have no direct experience. Like the use of a food mill.

Prattle indeed.

I do own and have used a food mill and I have had my anal cavity examined in a medical setting - although I didn't engage in both activities at the same time.

While I haven't had anal dysplasia, I have been internally examined for warts and I've had herpes in my nether regions for years - since back when you were probably forming your first crush in junior high. So don't pull the "lack of experience card" on me, Miss Pee Pee!

Clearly we need a 'Positive Men's' forum on this board.

***BREAKING NEWS*** Taco Bell Cool Ranch Dritos Shell coming THIS SUMMER.

ps: I just google-mapped Taco Bell and had no idea that one existed at 901 Market Street in the heart of downtown Killadelphia.

There's also an area of the city where three separate Taco Bells exist within a five block radius.

***BREAKING NEWS*** Taco Bell Cool Ranch Dritos Shell coming THIS SUMMER.

LOL

In other, better, news...Here's the beginning of my "Salsa Garden", Tomatoes and Jalapenos. I bought 2 types of Tomatoes, one cherry and one Patio Tomato that does well in a large container. (I have a yard but im too lazy to dig).

Maybe Ill get around to planting them in large pots soon.

Arent they delighful!



Oh and look, there is already a tomato...

[Miss Philicia]

Roma tomatoes make the best salsa, not those kind you have.

Jealous much?

[Miss Philicia]

Jealous much?

No, because I make excellent salsa. I don't have to grow tomatoes because I'm surrounded by farmer's markets instead of dried out, drought stricken sagebrush. When you really want to see God's Country I'll drive you out to Lancaster County (with a rental car, natch).

ps: do you own chef Mark Miller's seminal "Great Salsa Book" (1994)? If you don't, hunt down a used copy.

Woman offers sex for dollar-menu cheeseburgers

A woman was arrested in a prostitution sting — but not before she got two double cheeseburgers off the dollar menu at a McDonald’s.

Christine Faith Baker, 47, was walking on a Southwest Florida street last Friday when she was approached by a detective working in the Manatee County Sheriff Office’s special investigations division, according to a sheriff’s office report.

After the undercover detective invited Baker into his car and the talk turned to sex, she said her fee would be two double cheeseburgers from the dollar menu at McDonald’s, the report states.

The detective bought the burgers for $2.75 and then Baker told him that he could also tip her $40 for her services, according to the report. After Baker gave the detective directions to a vacant lot, Baker was arrested by other agents and charged with prostitution, the report states.

Baker was released from jail on Saturday, according to the sheriff’s office website.

Isn't that entrapment? I thought the sex worker had to approach the cop and offer sex for money up-front. Or is this another one of those Floridian laws like Stand Your Ground where who gives a fuck about justice?

Well, anyway, if it is the Rev as you postulate, I hope someone procures and delivers the bail money so that the Rev's emancipation may be attained in time for the Easter Egg Hunt.

[Hellraiser]

Rev doesn't give it up for anything less than a full combo meal.  Dollar menu is so passe.

I cannot believe that they're going around saying that I'm 47!!  What do I look like, Willy Woompa or somebody?  Oh, and LaTrey is partially right: I go for the full combo.  They failed to mention the three blow jobs that I had to give in order to get me some chicken nuggets and two apple pies.

Blowjobs are like the handshake of the gay community.  "Hi nice to meet you" -> Blowjob.

[Miss Philicia]

So, to my readers at large I must be emphatic that if you are an intense, snooty cheese lover that you attempt to located what has been my favorite cheese for past 3-4 months (not sure if I've mentioned it previously but whateves... tis one of those items that can't be discussed enough). It's kind of pricey but of such high quality it's worth it, and I've not known a single person to not rave about it once I turned them on to it.

It's called Harbison by Jasper Hills, a creamery located in Greensboro, Vermont and a leader in the revival of artisan cheese making in the US. It's a 3-6 week aged pasteurized cow's milk, with a divine bark wrapped bloomy rind.

So everyone needs to locate this superlative cheese and treat your guests at a dinner party preferably paired with Weyerbacher Vergoten or Hair of the Dob Blue dot.

Hey, that used to be my avvy not too long ago.


Anyways, in honor of the fact that this is topic has now moved to #4 in the top ten (by replies --still a few hundred posts behind a certain "blog") here's a picture of a delicious and "healthy" bandeja paisa.  This one is from a so-called "fusion" Colombian restaurant in Brooklyn.  Notice the fried arepa and chicharrón. Sadly, they did not include one of its key components, the Spanish chorizo.

I'm sure that Philicia's had it once or twice before while hanging with my cha cha sisters.

That looks delicious Rev! 

Other than the fried egg and the beans on the side, I don't think I can either recognise or properly pronounce any of the other foods on the plate though. lol

I love Spanish Chorizo.

PS: What's that veg that looks somewhere between a banana and a pineapple?

[Ann]

PS: What's that veg that looks somewhere between a banana and a pineapple?

That's plantain, a type of banana that is cooked (often fried), rather than eaten raw.

I was wondering what the purple stuff is in the upper left. It looks like pickled red cabbage with a cilantro leaf on top. Am I close?

I agree that it all looks delicious - including the fried egg on top of the arepa - but what is that black stuff on top of the egg? It looks a little too chunky to be pepper.

Thanks Ann. 

The purple stuff on the top left looks like beetroot.

And I'm sure that's freshly ground large peppercorns from one of those fancy pepper mill's on top of the egg.

[denb45]

WOW  I know I couldn't eat all of that in one setting, I'd have to share that dish with someone else, that's a lotta FOOD on that plate

Ann is correct, the traditional dish includes fried maduros (sweet plantains).  In this case, since it is a more refined (i.e. not so authentic) version of the dish they actually used fried yucca.

The purple stuff in this pictar is red cabbage indeed (with some beets quite likely).  And Space, as a good connoisseur of spicy delights, you would love the green stuff on the side called ají picante (made with peppers, onions, chilies, and a few other things).

The "real" version of this dish includes rice, morcilla (blood sausage), two versions of meat (steak and ground beef), and a big slice of avocado.  You top it off with a big bowl of mazamorra con bocadillo (guava paste) for dessert.  Once you finish this 6000 calorie fest you either sleep a big siesta, dance it off, or perhaps have a heart attack (if you're an out of shape Gringa). 

Here's a pic of one that's more authentic...



Dennis, it is all one meal.  I've never seen anyone sharing  . And, interestingly enough you rarely ever see many overweight colombianas (Sofia Vergara and Shakira claim to love this stuff).  Of course, you only eat it on special occasions, otherwise you end as fit as up a Wumpette.

[Ann]

The purple stuff in this pictar is red cabbage indeed (with some beets quite likely). 

I thought it might be. You can get pickled cabbage here that has been coloured with beetroot and usually has a few pieces of beetroot in amongst the cabbage, but it's primarily shredded cabbage.

Do I get extra points for identifying the cilantro? If not, I'll just go off into the corner and cry quietly for a moment.

The "real" version of the dish looks yummy too - except for the blood sausage. It's called black pudding here and I just can't stomach it. I suppose it's one of those foods that you have to be brought up with to appreciate.

Aw, I feel better now for seeing a pictar of a learned kitteh, even if he is a sar-cat-stick little SOB.

The original dish looks yummy! A ginormous portion though.

- except for the blood sausage. It's called black pudding here and I just can't stomach it. I suppose it's one of those foods that you have to be brought up with to appreciate.

I don't really mind it.  I've only tried it maybe 2-3 times in my life.

I imgaine the thought of eating congealed pig blood can be quite off-putting to a lot of people.
