The Noodle Compound V. 2.0

[Noodle]

Re: The Noodle Compound

I used to overindulge in alcohol for New Year's. Lately, it's been food instead. Today I took beef short ribs, seared them, and braised them for five hours with red wine, chicken stock, garlic, onion, celery, tomatoes, and carrots, with a little rosemary. I pureed the veggies in the sauce, and served them over garlic mashed potatoes topped with gremolata. People do not not leave the Compound hungry.

Looks delicious!

I almost took a picture of the amazing burrito I ate for dinner today, but my wife probably would have looked at me funny.

Re: The Noodle Compound

Re: The Noodle Compound

Foodies are people that like eating good food. I am a foodie

Re: The Noodle Compound

Who Isn't a foodie? seriously...

Re: The Noodle Compound

I am sure there are some people that don't like the idea of Foie Gras, truffle etc.

 

[Kestegs]

Re: The Noodle Compound

But good food is subjective, so it is only good food to you and not necessarily anyone else.

Re: The Noodle Compound

I guess that is true to some extent.

One thing I wanted to do while I was overseas was to go to a Michelin star restaurant (Australia doesn't have any that I know of). I unfortunately didn't get a chance ...

Re: The Noodle Compound

Never heard of it. Why did you want to go there?

Re: The Noodle Compound

I actually am curious as to the nature of these two people as well.

There's no reason to be curious. I didn't hand-pick them. They're just people I've known for a very long time and have grown close with. They're particularly special to me because they're wonderful people that I would never have had the opportunity to meet had it not been for this goofy forum.

and as long as females have bewbs, Dredd, you're going to give them extra sugar, regardless of hair color.

*snicker* Well, I don't really have a bewb fetish but otherwise you're right.

:crazyeyes: what are YOU gonna do about it?

Boop the silly out of your nose, that's what! *Boop*

Aren't foodies people who like to eat your food?

No, you're thinking of leeches, sometimes referred to as "male guests". Bastards eat all that leftover turkey and stuffing you were saving for yourself even though you left out extra crackers and water JUST FOR THEM!

Re: The Noodle Compound

You don't seem like a very nice host. I would steal your Turkey too!

Men like bewbs, you can't just assume we all have a fetish because of it.

Which reminds me of the....wait....nsf....never mind

night compoundies!

Night kegsy, and PM me the NSF

Re: The Noodle Compound

Booooooo, now I have to get serious for a moment.

Men like bewbs

That is self-evident.

you can't just assume we all have a fetish because of it.

That, however, is not. Both sexes constantly play tug of war with each other over a wide variety of gender stereotypes and I think it's good personal policy to speak up sometimes and clarify what you really feel. Not doing so can sometimes lead to unwanted and facetious labels (I already have one - re: redheads - and while it might be "cute," believe me, it's had some negative consequences).*

I was only speaking for myself, by the way. I wasn't accusing anybody of having unhealthy fixations. Apologies if my post came across that way.







*We have a perpetually oversexed media and omnipresent cosmetics industry that make it nearly impossible to separate self-worth from body image. This can be particularly harmful for young women - not just because it distorts their own self image, but also because it distorts how they think men perceive them... if that makes sense (it's late). That's why I get pissy** about stereotypes and labels.


**Not pissy at you, Leo. You didn't say anything wrong. This got pretty OT. ^_^

 

[Kestegs]

Re: The Noodle Compound

No, I'm not going to PM that to you.

So people saying that you love redheads actually offends you? (that was a serious question)
I'll agree on the oversexed society for sure.

 

[Jcakes1]

Re: The Noodle Compound

Agrees on the oversexed part.

And I have a thing for Asians (specifically Chinese girls) that is part of the reason I was initially attracted to HAC.

 

[Kestegs]

Re: The Noodle Compound

I think a lot of people have that thing. I've never dated one, but have been attracted to a lot of them.
