Oh, liquid nitrogen ice cream is a nifty little trick some people do for chem. demos . You see, they take nitrogen gas and cool it down untill its temperature is so low that it stops being a gas and acts like a liquid. Then you can use that stuff from a container to make ice cream or frozen yogurt super-quick. Unfortunately, if you don't know what ytou are doing/take too long, then you can get frost bite or your hand might even shatter, because it is really really cold. and to guess an answer to your other question maybe that is because men are lazier, or tend not to care about self-image as much. Of course, I can't exactly speak for everyone on that, there are some exceptions...

i think you can eat it, but you are supposed to wait for it to thaw out first so that you aren't biting into anything rock-solid.

Its the media putting across the idea that men only* like women who are stick thin.... Which Is bonkers as far as I'm concnered, women should have curves.. I've never seriously attempted a 'diet' myself, though I did cut back on what I was eating, and lost two stone over two years, at the moment, I've regressed a bit and am eating too much again, so am trying once again to reduce down meal sizes, roughtly aiming for about 1100 KCal per day or is that cal... I never get that bit < My next real step, as it has been for a while, is to carry on keeping the food intake sensible and up the amount of energy expendature, and join teh gym then I'll be tackling the calories from both ends....

En Espan~ol: Um, no se, sen~ora o Sen~orita. No estoy seguro y no tengo ni idea. No hablo diet-ish. ?Que lengua es?
Drat, no upside down punctuation marks.
Translation: in a nut-shell: sorry, I don't know how to speak diet language, and therefore have no real personal opinion or any idea of one (to have). [speaking through loudspeaker/bull-horn]: SOME PEOPLE CARE MORE ABOUT WHETHER PEOPLE ARE NICE OR NOT THAN WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.
It's just that usually these people tend to be harder to find because they might not loudly complain as vociferously. Just got out of a really bad dogma thread by some nutty creationist who in short told everybody who didn't agree with him that they were going to H-e-double hockey sticks(w/ antoo,-no doubt, no doubt...), ...so,
I already have gotten full dose and a half of propaganda/ rant-riffs. Did anybody get the # of the license on the oil-rig that hit me? I think the plate said Berkeley. That must be where the driver was from.
(in CA, if even. Who knows). " away!" like in Monty Python. Um(on an unrelated sidenote), by any chance do you know anything good to make popsicles from? speaking of California, there is this lousy heat-wave going on right now, the weather is so , and was just wondering if anybody had any recipe type things for frozen stuff that is good to eat for those kind of conditions. , I kid you not.

Are you joking about being hit by an oil rig? Arent those on the ocean?......do you mean oil truck? Are you ok? Or am I being too literal? Did you mean the creationists thread?
Anyhow...........popsicles.........in high school people used to make electric jello......jellow with vodka or whatever; just make jello; put in booze, then refridgerate as per usual.
I have made all kinds of popsicles; juice, cream soda, whatever....some just need to be left in the freezer longer; like coke; and it melts quick. Don't add too much water or it is more like an ice cube than a popsicle.
I have some recipes for frozen treats and stuff but it seems like too much effort........
You could go buy freezies, popsicles or fudgesicles?????

Um, yeah, the creationist thread. And apparently I must be a "foreign" Yes, am .
No, ice cream man is deaf. Or daft. Wave $money at his face and he'll keep driving anyway. Maybe he thinks that the kids in my suburb are crazy. Homemade are so much better as makeshift weapons to fend off evil relatives with ([semi-sarcastically]ha,-hah). And you are also 100% correct in that I had meant to say truck, not rig.

Thankee kindly though for the tip.

Eat the red pepper raw... mmmmmmmmmmm

Bet my chef out here on the oilrig I am on could make something real juicy with a red pepper though. These cooks are ace! We even had braised venison the other day. I ate so much I almost couldn't go to work, and my tummy hurt

hey you guys I just remembered this really great kinda soup that also has roasted garlic+red peppers in it. You can add in either chicken broth/stock or cream or whatever for the liquid part. Um, personally both the chicken broth version and the w/cream version taste good but the one w/ cream in it smells better.

Personally, i would bake the pepper in the oven (cut it in half if there's two of you, if not just have it whole) and then stuff it with fried rice with onion, garlic and peas in.
yummy.

now, - if I wanted to be really bad , I'd suggest someone come up w/ a way ta make red pepper icecream. Got the idea from an old episode of Iron Chef* I was watching once where these guys on one of the sides (can't remember the specifics worth beans), goes and the secret ingredient thing they had to use was , so they go and get and make a & honey sorbet. . that side won, I think .
* A dubbed combat/ drama stylizing of one of those TV Chef cooking "face off" type of things, that has got to be like some sort of a funny parody, ... That is until yopuy realize the epic scale of it and then think Oh , those people really are being serious about it. The whole thing ios rather and occasionally boring in my opinion, but whatever.
There's even a parody of it in one episode of Matt Groening's other cartoon, Futurama. Most folks know him best for his Life in Hell Comic strips, and his other cartoon, The Simpsons.

Red Pepper is lovely juiced with tomatoes celary and a little tabasco and worcestershire sauce a very refreshing and enegising drink

Zapha xxx

isn't worcestershire sauce made from anchovies?
It doesn''t taste like fish so much though, they must put other things to go in along with it.
