You are welcome to read my entire posts, make an actual attempt at comprehension, and continue the discussion in a way that doesn't require me to repeat what I've... |

| ^^ oh, I'm sorry! That sounds like an allergy, and a particularly nasty one. Sometimes allergies can go away or become much less severe, but since I avoid cheeses so well it's hard to tell if it is changing at all. On the other hand I milk, ice cream, and butter pose no allergy problems to me. Star... |

Sometimes I also include a sauteed coursely chopped onion. I often which it would come out somewhat lighter. One thing ... |

| Riiiiiight, Israel starts wars by being attacked? How does that work? Do we have a bit of a problem with Jewish people, perchance?

| Wtf are they fighting over, anyways? From what I gather, at least 3 different religions (Jews, Christians, Muslims) all claim that Jerusalem is sacred & Holy to them, right? So, shouldn't that make it about the most peaceful well preserved piece of land on the face of the planet? If all of thes... |

| Press the entire clove of garlic, with the flat edge of your knife, or with an actual, garlic press. What enhances the flavor of garlic, is the release of alliinase, which becomes allicin. Allicin is what causes garlic’s flavorfulness. Hope this helps a bit. I nearly always press it with the knife ... |

| One thing that I like to do on occasion is to watch videos on youtube of stupid drivers. One not uncommon event is for a pedestrian to be hit or nearly hit when crossing the street. In a number of cases, the pedestrian is in a crosswalk and assumes that oncoming traffic is going to stop. Often, ther... |

| And, while I'm at it, I'll just repeat one other thing that I've said here, because it doesn't seem to have sunk in: No one owns the sun. No one has a right to intrusively experiment on something major that they don't own, without some convincing consensus-permission. Now, the pro-spit faction aren... |

| We've been over this many times already. I've already answered kokopelli's endlessly-recycled argument quoted below: The sun is not a big light bulb in the sky. It's a ball of gases powered by nuclear fusion. Anything that goes into the sun will very quickly become disassociated into more elemental... |
