Maybe 4 or 5, so that it's still bursting with a bit of juice. She always uses an iron skillet though (something about women needing iron). The result is a container of roasted cherry tomatoes that we either pop just for some flavor, or we add it to spaghetti for more intensity, I’ve heated some up and had it with eggs (chef john style) and toast. It almost becomes a spice too, adding it to green beans, intensifies a quick veggie side. I think I’ve mixed it with sautéed mushrooms, mmm.Blood Red Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709102090936891193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-23099447686533293082008-09-29T23:12:00.000-04:002008-09-29T23:12:00.000-04:00now you're talkingnow you're talkingChef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-76065998937409900722008-09-29T23:00:00.000-04:002008-09-29T23:00:00.000-04:00I wonder how the cocktail franks would tase seared...I wonder how the cocktail franks would tase seared and served in a pilsner reduction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-18480193728389572312008-09-29T10:35:00.000-04:002008-09-29T10:35:00.000-04:00"Yep son, we have met the enemy and he is us." - P..."Yep son, we have met the enemy and he is us." - Pogo<BR/><BR/>Scott - BostonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-19127093684776970012008-09-28T20:33:00.000-04:002008-09-28T20:33:00.000-04:00I thought the mob were really ungrateful.

I live in Hungary and I'm a bit of a gourmet, love to eat, and love fine dining. I like to fool around in the kitchen as well, but I've always had some problem with roasting meat. It never turned out the way I expected it. The first videoblog I saw from you convinced me right away, that first of all you really know what you are talking about, second of all you really like to eat and third of all you have a way off enlightening amateur cooks such as I. I have tried to make the tenderloin with balsamic glazed peaches and it came out just excellent. Thank you!

Sure our deposits will suffer initially but when they do and the FDIC has to step in, then we can bail out the FDIC rather than the fat cat Wall Street bankers that created the mess and now tell us the earth will stop spinning if we don't give them $700B. Then when people's deposits are replaced by the FDIC, there will be ample funds to lend and the bad banks and bankers won't get rewarded one again. And we all lived happy ever after.

Augustus was one of the most powerful people in Rome, and one of the ways that he gained all his wealth was with a fire-fighting unit. This was a private fire-fighting unit though, and the way he made it work was by heading to the site of a fire and offer to buy the houses that were on fire and the ones in risk of the fire being spread to from the owners at a very low cost. Only if they sold their land would Augustus put out the fire, and then turn around to sell at a large profit.<BR/><BR/>The government is actually approaching this disaster in a way similar to the way Augustus did. The government will (hopefully) offer to buy sub-prime mortgages off of banks at far less than their stated value. The banks will hopefully end up not failing. If the plan goes well, the government will be in possession of mortgages that regain value as the economy stabilizes and will be able to resell them at a profit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-834710283977827942008-09-27T23:50:00.000-04:002008-09-27T23:50:00.000-04:00they want the 700 billion so they can keep on doin...they want the 700 billion so they can keep on doing just what they've been doing without restriction or oversight And it is the same people who created the snafu with their "complex mathematical models that mere mortals like you can't understand" (read that fairy money) who want more money to "fix" everything.

It's about disaster capitalism and enriching the people who engineered this crisis to begin with. Bush (ie. Mr. 19 Percent) is the Obi-Wan Kenobi of the shock doctrine, both parties in Congress who are helping him push this bailout are akin to Darth Vader - and the circle is now complete.
