recipe help

[baronessekat]

This Great Recipe Experiment has me stuck. I just have so many cookbooks with so many things that sound good/interesting that I can't choose.

So I'm going to ask my friends to assist me.

If you are reading this and want to help, can you please pick a number between 5 and 400? These represent pages of cookbooks. From there I will use the numbers to narrow down what I'm going to try.

Thank you.

Would you believe that was what I was going to say? :-O

So either "Great Minds Think Alike" or "Fools Seldom Differ"....and I have bad news for you, no one has ever confused me with a great mind.

255.

[quicktongue.livejournal.com]

255 is an excellent second choice.

[miss-next.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :-) I chose it because I was an assembler language geek at an age when I was too young to know what a geek was. I used to write programs in BAL for the Olivetti Audit 5 at my dad's place of work, and the one thing I remember about BAL was that it was conventional to use LAB 255 as the most significant label in your program.

Times have changed...

[quicktongue.livejournal.com]

I completely understand, while no computer geek myself, my wife still programs in COBOL, Control M, and Mark IV.

My geek tends to lean more towards the humanities, so if you need a guy to talk about medieval law tracts or modern politics....

[miss-next.livejournal.com]

Modern politics tends to make me react rather like the cat in the icon (why do they have to argue about everything just for the sake of it? - no, don't answer that one, or I may despair), but I might well want to come and pick your brains on the mediaeval stuff. I have just joined the SCA, and decided my character is going to be Elizabethan, largely so that I don't have to stop fangirling John Dowland. :-)

[quicktongue.livejournal.com]

Sorry I should have said modern political theory/models, I didn't mean anything like the appathy creating farce we see on CNN.

Welcome to the SCA! I've been in for 16 years (so I'm still relatively new) and have tried my hand at most of it, while mastering none of it. Ealdormere and Drachenwald have always hasd close ties. We've even shared a King.

John Dowland is dreamy....but he's no Sting! :-P To see, to hear, to touch, to kiss, to die.....

[miss-next.livejournal.com]

Sting? Sting already? *throws hands wide in comic Italianate shrug* If you have not heard Charles Daniels singing Dowland, you have simply not lived. The man has the voice of an angel.

I will, of course, concede that he is not as good-looking as Sting, but I'm allowed to say that. Charles is a very good friend of mine. :-)

Elizabethan?! Rock on! I've just been singing through Dowland's 4 books of lute songs. Well, the songs I know.

[miss-next.livejournal.com]

Cool! I sing a few of them myself. I particularly enjoy singing Flow, my tears - ridiculously miserable, but so, so beautiful. My best friend, who's a semi-professional countertenor with a strong interest in early music, maintains that Dowland was the first Goth boy. :-)

Music Major

*holds hands up*

Can't count past four!

How about we get together and talk about your ideal meal and test you up a recipe of your own?

[miss-next.livejournal.com]

But some musicians can count! I know someone with a combined degree in music and natural sciences. One guess who he is.

Put it this way. When he noticed that his shed was leaning at a bizarre angle, he went out with a plumb line and a protractor and measured it. As long as he can still keep his bike in it, that's all that matters. *grin*

Re: π

[baronessekat.livejournal.com]

totally for the win.

The first book I grabbed and looked at page 13 was a rum cocktail called "Cool o' the Evening"

As soon as i get some fresh mint I'm sooooooo trying it!
