Aaand, I have yet another completely non-vegetarian contribution, this time from Hungary/Austria. I present the following: Gulyás Serves: probably 4 (I don't know, though, as I'm a very big eater) 500g/1 lb. beef, preferably a good stewing steak a little bit of oil 1 tsp. caraway seeds (no more than...

This pie has gotten rave reviews from some the people that I've made it for. So, I must be doing something right... Rhubarb-Strawberry Pie If you're in the UK or northern Europe, you can get good-quality fresh rhubarb this time of year, which makes this pie even more worthwhile. Likewise in the nort...

I'll contribute with some hats as well. http://i44.tinypic.com/25f64oi.jpg This is me with my dragon hat. The dragon needs a name, though. http://i41.tinypic.com/24n4tvq.jpg And a rather cheesy Bosnian beret. But, for only 25 Marks, I couldn't resist. And, as an objective assessment, how old do I lo...

But of course. Not in that picture, though... I think, there, I was just hungry. And maybe tired.

Oh come on. That's just Thailand with blue swapped out for green (or Boyacá with the colours reversed) and some kind of mirrored Bosnia. D- for effort. Do try harder. No, no it's not. Having a similar pattern does not make the flag identical to others. Look at the varying tricolors presented. In fa...

I have no idea why anyone would name their computer after any of those things, though.

Ne, ne, and... ne. Actually, this might provide the answer, if viewable in your region.

Unintentional, I assure you, but actually quite cool, now that I look at it. Thanks.

Nope. No phenome for you.

Nu.

Please explain. It's... it's... ORANGE! (collapse) I meant it in good humor, mostly because that's about the color my one teacher achieved when she, naturally of black hair, attempted to go blonde. Is the model named Lita, or did you personally name it Lita? I named it Lita. Bonus points if you kno...

In light of the fact that I comment but normally don't post pics, and in further light of the fact that my new little netbook (named Lita) has a webcam, I figured that posting a pic of myself wouldn't hurt things...

Jacqui: You look stereotypically Italian, which is to say, at least for me, pretty. Skomakar'n: (loud shriek of horror) Thanks. I'm not really sure what you mean, though; what's missing? If I recall correctly, most of the other pictures you've posted haven't featured you clean-shaven. That's what I ...

Maybe he's sitting on the floor? If not, either that piano is very tall or Cathbad is very short. Cathbad's not short, as far as I remember (taller than I am). He's probably seated on the floor or at a desk. Further, Cathbad does look good. Glasses don't really say anything special to me, but they'...

According to this page http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=596194 shipping charges to Europe are $4 per order plus $4 per item. I'll look at what it would cost to ship to Europe myself— it might end up cheaper if that's the only book you want. Shipping to Europe via F...

Where are you getting this information? Open carry is legal in most states. Some states have stricter laws than others (with regards to licensing, restrictions on certain types of places, like restaurants and schools, et c.), but only a handful of states have banned it outright. Well, two states, A...

Actually, the firearms laws in his state are rather strict, especially around Chicag-ho.

Open-carry exists only in two states.

I may buy it when I get back to the States, where it'll be cheaper.

And, to bricka: MONEY!

You can order from US Amazon if you are in the UK.

Shipments under £18, I think, are exempt from VAT and customs duty, but if they aren't... plus, shipping can be fairly high.

Random aside: JAL's avatar appears so different... but I just realized that he was promoted, so seeing the blue above the flag makes it appear very different.

I never knew having a soft drink could be this much fun. Some of you may have already seen the first one, but there's this and this as well.

Don't ditch Texas! Texas is one of the best states in the Union. And this comes from somebody who isn't from Texas. And if you want to ditch Texas, give them independence. Don't you even think about giving them to México. Honestly, I think the composition of the U.S.A. is fine as-is. Even California...

Faiulwe: When I insert IPA and accented characters into the program, save it, close it, and bring it back up, some of the characters are replaced by question marks. Bummer.

Here's a personal favorite of mine: Asiago-Italian Herb Risotto (Measurements are given in US units... sorry!)
