Drinking partner?

Nope ..... long term marriage. Not everyone on here is like you .......

Well, that was a waste of my time, wasn't it. Spliting the shit out of this thread, only to have it filled up again, with the authors blessing.

Go for it, losers.

Thanx Boxy. Monk got side-tracked with trolling and I couldn't resist replying. He only uses the food thread to build up his post count anyhow. Anyone who really wants to know what/how to cook would avoid a PolAnimal Forum and instead go directly to a Food/Recipe Forum/Blog.
