Well, I am dog sitting for him...I'm sure he wouldn't mind!:lol:
I had a monkey, a stuffed monkey, I named him Abu after the monkey in Aladdin, I decided to give him a haircut.:p
Ok, I understand better about this. I think people in general sometimes take their loved ones for granted....in the sense that there may be the tendency to not always take the time to say "thank you", or "I am glad you are here for me." Often social graces are left to the people folks work with or see out in the world, but it is equally as important to treat loved ones with just as much courtesy as "outsiders".Quote:

Oh, man is that pizza I see? Mushroom pizza, I hope?
*drools* :D
That pizza was AWESOME. Let's say CALORIES GALORE but we all need :

Just mix enough water with yoghurt (you can use half-fat yoghurt too) and out enough salt. That's all. Mix it really good. And it's perfect with especially meat foods or you can drink it plain. Much healthier than coke.
ooooh, I'll try it as soon as I get home. Have you tried Jamaica water? Is healthy, traditional and more importantly: IT HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT!
I've been drinking loads of Aloe water or whatever. It sounds interesting. I'll have to try it. Is it just regular yoghurt? as in plain?Quote:

Interesting...I will have to try that with some plain yogurt. All I have on hand right now is vanilla.
Oh, so yes...this is the guy thread. I thought I would post some pics in keeping with guy interests...:p

Turk's ayran sounds very similar to a drink I am more familiar with called a Lassi
Whats Lassi?Quote:

ok, according to my Mum there's this flower/plant called Flor de Jamaica (jamaica flower), you boil 'till the waters red and hot, then you let it rest. You can drink it with or whitiout sugar. It's Tasty AND healthy.Quote:

Horchata! I've had some I'd just wish I know how to make it. The only drink I know how to make Is homemade beer and I can't have any for 7 more years...
A PLUS! Its so good...its like cinnamon or other spices with rice water. Or agua fresca...yummy. My mom makes it a lot. Water and fresh fruit. Guavas or strawberries. They are so refreshing!Quote:

1/2 cup white sugar
Pretty much you mix rice, H2O and cinnamon in a saucepan. Then you leave it alone, off of the stove for awhile, I'd say like 2-3 hrs. then you boil it and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Then you blend it and strain it. Let it get cool though,before you drink...oh, before you drink, put in sugar and vanilla(if you want), I just said 1/2 cup but it really depends on how sweet you want it. I don't really put that much.
Haha, thats funny. My brother can't roll his Rs at all. Its sad, but he can't speak spanish at all! But he grew up with english, whereas I grew up with spanish.Quote:

Spanish speakers just think I'm weird, since Cubans don't pronounce that much their Rs and Ss. While a normal cuban would say "rohses" really fast I would say "rouwhssssesss" and end with a hiss.
I can't help myself. But it really helps me with my Russian, I sound like a natural!!
AVOID BLACK PEPPER!!!!Quote:

***I put in a fruit already.
