From: Eggy Lippmann Hey Rose, could you please tell me why you and so many americans seem to dislike broccoli. It's like the official veggie of Portugal, and I love it to bits! Heck, I have never met anyone who hated broccoli... they go great with cod  I think it's because it's cooked so poorly in most places here in North America ('cause they over cooked it in Canada too). So then it's like mushy and smells bad. I actually do like it when it's sort of just dipped in hot water and I also like it raw.

Yeah, broccoli is only good if it is undercooked (plus it looses its beneficial antioxidants the more it is cooked-- it loses up to 97% of them when it is microwaved as opposed to 11% with a light steam). But it must have salt. Broccoli without salt is like a shower without cleaning your butt.

Food and fire! ;o
10-10-2005 00:53
From: Loki Pico Okay, I believe that. I had a really vivid nightmare once that I was in a house fire. I woke up drenched in sweat! Hah ! ok. my story that nobody will care about....... I had a dream last(time i slept but it wasnt night) and in there was food. I was in my bedroom using one arm to latch onto floating platforms (like in a video game) with chicken nuggets on them (the platforms were not much larger than the nuggets, jsut large enough for my hand). After a few failed attempts to reach the top patform, noticed smoke comign from my desk draw, and I opened each one looking for th source, in one of htem i moved asside a back full of chicken nuggets. The fire was apparently electrical, and the flames were so hot they only produced an intence white glow, and smoke continued to flow. It was a white whispy smoke, looked more like steam, but it was knocking me out. I ended up back on my bed, knowing i had to do soemthing before the fre spread, but i coulnt get up, the smoke was taking too much out of me, so i yelled Fire! weakly, then as loudly as i could manage i yelled FIRE! and then with every ouce of strenthg i could will up, i swung my body to roll out of bed and stand, but i managed to wake myself up when i moved ^.^ I leave some details out, as they would only bore you, and I am also pretty sure I actually yelled "fire" becuase I actually felt the vibration from it ^.^ but my dad cant hear very well, so i dont think anyone heard me

on the interpretation of cheese dreams
10-10-2005 01:31
I dreamt the other night that I was a snake crawling through a wet, slimy, pink-walled cave while two giant hot dogs beat me with rakes and my mother was shouting obscenities in my ear.
Can anyone make anything of this? Nah? Me neither.

Can anyone make anything of this? Nah? Me neither. I certainly can ._. Siggy might have something to say about this. (Sigmund Freud, the psychiatrist, not the forum guy ^_~) It was unlike me to have such a strange dream, becuase I do not dream often, and when i do, they are about people I know, or think about a lot, but nothing quite as strange as platforming for nuggets. Though, I can easily pinpoint the sifnifigance of every part of my weird dream.
