I didn't know they adopted hats that looked like cheese, but I imagine the nickname came before the hat? For Wisconsinites in general, that is.

If you're quoting from a really long post, I suppose. I'll consider making something pop up in an unobtrusive place if/when I write my own quick quote, but I'm not sure how feasible that is precisely. A better idea might be to expose a Javascript function which could be activated through a bookmarklet.

I just walked home, which is about 3 to 4km, and felt somewhat hungry. Since it's still a few hours till dinner, what I whipped up looks like this:


  • 2 (thick) slices of bread

  • 1/2 slice of cheese divided over the two slices of bread

  • 1 to 2 teaspoons of nice Kölner garlic mustard spread over the bread or the cheese

  • 1 (organic) fried egg, sunny side up, on top



This is what Dutch people call an uitsmijter (outthrower), and what German people call a Strammer Max (stiff Max; sounds more like slang for penis but I guess Germans are weird or maybe I'm missing a joke).

NB This hardly qualifies as cooking, but I use it to illustrate how easy it is to add some gastronomic and nutritional value to a quick meal. Because the egg fries while you prepare the other ingredients, it doesn't really take any longer than a simple cheese sandwich. Note that there's absolutely nothing wrong with a simple cheese sandwich. I just want to emphasize that there isn't some huge chore involved.

Your description of the British reminds me of Colin Farrel's character in In Bruges. It's decent; basically a kind of movie adaptation of The Dumb Waiter.

Well, what you call a "pointless vicious circle" is nothing but the very definition of organic life.

How atheist of you. :P

It repugnates me when I see that kind of tourists that wants to eat what they eat back in home. If I had a restaurant I would not serve them anything at all.

Presumably you shouldn't have to worry about them even entering your restaurant?

It seems that cheese soups invariably require bouillon cubes.

Depending on the ingredients, bouillon cubes can be alright. If you want to be sure it's decent, you can make your own stock. In a sense you're already doing that, but I'd try boiling some onion in the milk prior to adding the cheese or perhaps simply alongside for some extra flavor. If you didn't get the message by now, I love onions. ;) Best of all, onions are also some of the most convenient, healthiest, and cheapest vegetables. But I'd probably add a bunch of other veggies too.

I watch my diet to avoid things that are too weird or directly harmful.

Shouldn't everyone? :)

Quote from: ersi on
If I could, I would avoid eating altogether. Eating is a nuisance.

It can be. Especially in the morning. But at night, surely it's some nice time to spend with your family?

A woman on the phone in the tram was using some unusual vocabulary today. She was accusing a "French slut" (whose accent she at times malevolently imitated) of "giving head to homosexuals" and she informed this "French slut" that she should stick her phone in her "man-hating cunt". She got off at the Justice Palace, which might've meant an interesting experience for some clerk or perhaps even a judge. Until now I thought such people only existed on Judge Judy.

I'll take first post on every page into consideration, but I'm somewhat inclined to agree with j7n.

I'd also like to have the ability to load a high number of posts per page to search long threads easily (for approved user classes), which was also possible on My Opera.

I increased the default because I agree it was too low, but it shouldn't be too high either for performance reasons.

Btw, perhaps you should look into the "print" feature? ;)
