This dish was hot. This is why the cucumber threw me. Cucumber is not a hot food. That said, the cucumber was not soggy or mushy so must have been tossed at the last minute.

Ok. Sorry it took so long to post this. We went to the restaurant last week. I just got around to putting the image up today. I'm not sure exactly if it is the same thing. It is spicy shrimp with waterchestnuts and cucumber not celery. The sauce was quite nice. It was kind of thick but not goopy. It wasn't all that spicy

I also hope he won't be at the same prison as those other two. I'm glad for Jay that the judge gave him better than the DA. Still, really scary stuff, I think. Hopefully, it's all uphill (as in good things to come even if it's hard) from here for your brother.

One of my friends said that the media has created a culture of fear because it sells. Maybe they're right. I actually know a woman who's child was abducted and murdered. It's more of an association thing, she's a friend of my cousin, but I had met her a few times before it happened and once after. I guess I don't feel it's as unlikely to happen as I did before this happened. My understanding is that she was just out riding her bike around her apartment complex and got

[quote who="Tova7" comment="8"] I like the idea of Coke in a bottle but then what would I do with the bottle after I drank the Coke? You can make a big old roach infested pile in the kitchen and call it your savings account like my mom did when I was a kid. [e digicons]O[/e] [/quote] :o:

Reply to Coca Cola and a Glass Bottle in Just Hanging Out Stardock Forums

I guess it tasted like real Coke. I'm not a purist or a huge soda drinker. Maybe it's a bit sweeter here? Just getting a craving for soda the last two days. I don't remember what I paid for it. Maybe 100-120 yen? It was thirty yen cheaper than the regular single serving (500mL) bottle. One can buy the 500mL bottle at a grocery store for 100 yen if it's on sale. Regular price runs around 130 yen and 150 yen from some drink machines. My sis

Coca Cola and a Glass Bottle in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

I just bought a Coke in a glass bottle. It's a special promotion thing for the Beijing Olympics. It's not the best deal in town, but I love soda from a glass bottle. It was great! I drank it as soon as I got out of 7-11 and had it finished before I got home. It was 250mL I think. Not too much. I can never drink soda straight from a can, particularly cola. It's icky and the carbonation is too harsh. I can sometimes drink it out of a pla

lol. :) Definitely in the museum part. There was a section of stacked aquariums (five across and three or four high) or whatever you use for frogs. Heaps of people were crowded in front of them. So much interest for plastic?

Reply to How Not to Build a Chair in Life Journals Stardock Forums

I finally got my chair put together. I had a three hour hiatus during which I ate nachos and watched "The Unit" I returned for the gold medal finals and got my medal. It was really hard to attach the chair to the bottom. Nothing seemed to line up nicely and it was hard to get those screws to go all the way in so they didn't. I lost a few points on this part. They are as snug as I can make them and that will have to do. I ended up balancing the chair back on my legs and the

You are referring to Thandy Newton. Yes, she is good. And Judi Dench! She is what makes the new Bond films for me. Vin Diesel... I'm still out on him. I thought he was good in Knockaround Guys . Canadian actor was the head bad guy and I think the sub baddie was Karl Urban (LotR). I am Canadian! Born is Saskatoon and raised in Alberta!

Fake Frog at Aquarium! in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I went to Hakeijima/ Sea Paradise Aquarium last week. I really enjoyed it. I shut off the flash and took lot of photos. I was looking closely at the photos and thought something looked weird about one. When I took a closer look, I noticed lines like one would get from a plastic cast. The lines can be seen on the back leg and around the toes. Did the aquarium put up a fake frog? Am I wrong? Maybe they had a sign up

I phoned the company and they are sending me an instruction sheet by email. In the meantime, I have been trying to put the chair together. The sucker weighs 23 kg and the back of the chair is the only thing I really can't figure out. Three holes on the back's slot attachment would seem to match up with the three holes underneath the seat and the three screws. Now, if the would only align. In the meantime, I think I have started my own Olympic sport-- chair assem

I was really excited! The new chair I bought online just arrived. I was a little annoyed to see that the box was small enough that some assembly was going to be required for this chair. Not a big fan of assembling my own furniture, but since I am only slightly useless in this department I decided to grit my teeth and get through it. After all, I just need to follow the instructions. Except there are no instructions. Now I have several piece

Chronicles of Riddick was really an interesting concept. That Underverse religion was some freaky stuff. I just saw stuff about Babylon A.D. on the internet last night. I probably won't be able to see it for ages because I don't think it's showing anytime soon here. I've never heard of Death Race. I will look it up. I heard they are moving the Harry Potter movie back. I'm actually happy about that. It was going to come out a week and a half af
