Here is your comment to Roy today in your 'messages':

Ok, good...then I don't need to worry about how badly I've torn the puritan right out of your soul. I'm already on the path to damnation.

So, did you do the twisting? :D

Thanks Lucille. I'm glad it's clear to SOMEBODY. I was a good boy-- born to good people...

I was on a gravy train to heaven, with buscuit wheels...

The beauty and wonder beneath the sea invigorated and fascinated me as a young man. 57 years later, I'm still inspired.

When it comes to chili, it is usually the beans, not the spices, that cause the most problems for people in the chili-eaters vicinity.

Spoken like a true Northerner, When I lived in Texas one of my bosses was telling me about how awesome his homemade chilli is...so being an aficionado, I asked for the recipe as he was reciting it I asked him what kind of beans, expecting the answer to be kidney, everyone there turned to look at me like I was crazy, "What d'ya mean, what beans?" he said.
On another note I had Green Chilli for the first time when I lived in Colorado, truly awesome and very spicy with white/navy beans!

Father's Day, I must have only been 6 or 7. Made my Dad breakfast, scrambled eggs, the whole deal. Used sugar instead of salt :eek1:

Mother's day, must have been 11-12. I thought a HUGE pancake would be a great present, so I filled a pan to the brim with batter. Let me tell you, not easy to do. Oh yeah, and another Mother's day, 8-9. I though I would make my mom breakfast on one of those corded electric pan things. I couldn't unplug the pan properly, so I tried prying it out with the metal spatula... Thank god for the rubber handle, because sparks flew. So now I don't even bother cooking on Mom's day, and it's not because I'm a jerk ;)!
 
There was one night I decided to make some muffins to bring to work the next day and I could NOT get the &*$%($ muffins right. First batch, I didn't add leavening. They were tasty little rocks. I guess I could have sucked on one all day. Second batch I forgot to sweeten. Those were nasty. Third batch, I was getting frustrated and starting to rush, and I didn't line the pan with anything. Those muffins were fine but couldn't be removed from the pan. >.<

After that I gave up.

Really. I was considering some of the personalities that are often criticized on internet communities. Some of the criticism is justified, yet sometimes, people are what they are. Newbies with newbie questions. Portentious announcements. Spoor from drama llamas.

But, how boring would a community be if only the following responses were permitted:

"Nice snake"
"Look it up"

Pot stirrers keep us from sticking to the sides of the pot, and newbies make the broth richer. And all the other personalities have their place, too.

In my opinion both the master chefs (the mods) and the community members of a good community develop a taste test that distinguishes between pleasantly spicy and inedible (of course the Cajuns cross that line all the time :) )

I'm not saying it's always easy, but it takes all kinds.

Great thread, Lucillle.

Diversity is the life/spice/liveliness/soul/longevity of a good forum.

I wanna be Rosemary, because it's yummy.
Or garlic, because it's yummy.
 
Personally, I find it hard to compare everyone's comments to spice... I think we are all pretty spice tolerant, or try to be.
We get mad when people try to put crap into the stew.

Thanks. Kids today are exposed to too much transmogrification as it is. There's cable, internet, Wonder Woman reruns on Hulu. Where do we draw the line?

I can't stop to chat right now, I'm going to watch Wonder Woman while I expose my transmorgrification.
 
Great thread!

Gave me a chuckle!

I love cinnamon - probably my favorite spice! Might be the best way to add a little spice to the sweet foods most of us love. Lots of sweet, and a little spice - perfect combo in food or relationships! And it is good for you, too - may even help control blood sugar, among other things.
 
Well my idea of a perfect community would have just the right number of mods, old timers, newbies, maybe a troll for fun every now and again. Plus those that are young and still learning but are not "newbies". Internet forums are a great thing info is easily learned. But when you read a post you have to think these are not words on an internet template but this is a person with feelings and you don't what they have gone through or what they are going through.
