Looks fantastic, KEM!  We're in the early stages of planning a week in the Turks for August, after my wife's second job contract is over.  [8D]

Now I got jealous of you too. [;)]

Been a bit busy lately, always nice to know some folks are having fun.

Closest I've gotten to a vacation lately is trying to cook foreign (to me) food. Had good luck recently with a Moroccan Chicken Tangine and a Scandinavian Salmon. The salmon dish was very tasty. Basically one toasts dill, coriander, fennel and cumin seeds. Roll the salmon filet in the seeds, put in the fridge for a couple hours. Bake and serve with sour cream seasoned with some aquavit, caraway seed and chervil. Very tasty.

That is quite yummy, yes ...

[anarchyintheuk]

Very impressive for a first attempt. I fear for future. [;)]

Has anyone heard (or seen) Nik lately? i am guessing he is moving from Fleattle to Houston (or its vicinity) but it has been 8 days since he's posted on the forum... [:(]

I have been talking to Nik on the phone every couple of days. He is in Texas. He is ok.

Thanks for the update, Bruce.

...hmmm...those were quite large...is this any better?

Where is that Kwik E ?
Looks like some sweet place in Mexico, except for the Belgian beer menu.

hyatt regency, aruba...guilty on the belgian beer pic...it was a nice little sidewalk place across the street from the hotel...the Corsendonk was my favorite, and of course, it took two or three tries to make that decision...the plan was to have one of each from the menu, but alas, my constitution is not up to snuff for european alcohol content in beers...[;)]...<hic>

Did you try the Leffe Blond that was on the menu? That one is one of my favourites.

I'm pretty sure GFU is a keeper. [:D]

Opened her gift today. A signed print of Geoff Hunt's HMS Temeraire. [&o]

[X(]. Definitely sounds as a keeper! [:D][&o]

I forget the number of genes, but IIRC plants like wheat (a grass) have at least 2 or 3 times the number of chromosomes as humans. Now, cows eat grass, so in relation to us... [:'(]

So, are you trying to say that the FEWER genes a species has the more advanced it is? That would put chickens ahead of us... and make Chickenboy possibly the most advanced person here (evolutionarily speaking...) [X(] [:D]

And that would also imply E. coli and the influenza virus have us beat by a large margin (4,169 and 11 genes, respectively). [;)]

No! I'm saying that Gary Larson (The far Side) was right - cows are the dominant species! [:D]

Agreed.

We may not have the short skirts or shapely legs

says who?

I stand corrected. At least one of us wears short skirts. Still no word on the shapely legs, however. [:'(]

I would appreciate if you would stop trying to put pictures in my head, please. [:'(]

Per, I'm trying to decide if I dislike you versus Kwik E Mart more these days...it's a very tough choice. [:'(] [;)]

Your response was better than mine. [:D]

Mental image of Per in viking horned helmet holding giant battle axe....and Eric in beret holding fresh baguette. [:D]

you would be surprised what a baguette could do [X(] [:D]

(and my ancestors where close enemies to Per, sorry man, i have seeds on the other side of the Sund, wich mean...same side as Kristian [X(].....ok, forget about it, i keep the ridiculous french ancestors [:D] )

Keep in mind, theyre probably still upset over that Bernadotte business. [:'(]

Nah. Since the Bernadottes were French, it was an easy job limiting their power and instituting democracy instead.

(Sorry, Eric [;)][:D])

Hmmm ... only got myself updated on the first 5 pages I missed. Another 13 to go and I have to get away for dinner no. Ah, then I have something to do when I get back. [:)]

Later, friends.

Naw. It's like trying to drink orange juice in a thunderstorm. You stop drinking and it's just full again. By the time you come back from dinner, we'll have at least 5 pages more spam for your viewing pleasure. Even if I have to have a quad faber to get 'em there. [:'(]

So where are those five pages of drivel for me to sift, you lazy git? [:D]

Since I have quite a bit of French-Canadian blood in me, I give you my licensed French shrug and response:

(shrug) Meh.
