Hey, minrich, I think it would be better if you moved that sign back a bit.

If you can't read my sign pointing >here< - 'tis 'cos 'tis writ large in 'whitespace' (the language) but I can't get my fountain pen to enclose it in code tags.

Cooking up my *ahem* reputedly delicious "pineapple sweet & sour stickychicken", to be followed by some of that orange torpedo cake which should be arriving in the mail shortly (You *did* send it, didn't you? I will send out the chicken in return, tomorrow!)

NOTE: stickychicken is ONE WORD!! This stuff is not only sticky, and not only chicken-- it's StiCKycHiCkEn!!

Me want.

You visit -- me share!

Wondering if Tinkster was previously a chef ?

Downloading Fedora-13-Alpha-i386-DVD.iso @ 1:30AM NY time. This would be more interesting if I was in Germany and had a pitcher of Pilsner in front of me. Hmmm...maybe I'll go to LT again this year.

Still working on configuring just the right mixture of xterm colors & options + MC's mcedit editor, so it resembles a "normal" syntax-highlighting editor: nice white background + decent colors. Sounds simple!! It's easy, but not simple..

I've been at this on and off for a couple days now but have a pretty good grip on it now, since finally figuring out how to manipulate the assortment of items that combine to influence the way xterm, MC, and mcedit, looks:

--xterm colors + font (mcedit cannot make its own background=white so it has to be done here).
--MC configuration file (does not seem to affect mcedit -- only MC proper).
--MC_COLOR_TABLE environment variable for mcedit default colors (normal, bold and selected).
--the individual syntax-highlight config files, for various coding languages.
--the 'master' syntax-highlight file, for when you're editing the coding-syntax-highlight config files!

Having only maybe a dozen decent colors to work with in the console (that are useful on a white background) makes this quite a chore; brightyellow and lightgray are nearly impossible to see; brightgreen is horrible to look at; green and yellow/brown are borderline...

I must investigate whether MC/mcedit can be compiled with support for more colors, and/or #hex color-codes (something tells me it cannot). That would make this MUCH easier.

Nope .... just a foodie and passionate hobby-cook :}

How about putting your recipes in your LQ blog? Mind you, I never do any cooking beyond basic stuff, and banging ready meals in the microwave.

BrianL!! Home-made bangers & mashed??? MMMmmmm!!

I like them enough to make it a regular occurrence though I tend to choose from a wide (international) variety of sausages -- really like the Oktoberfest & Beerfest variety (ahhh the trusty Germans: great sausages + great beer, among other things!).

Make it "sausages & sauerkraut & mashed 'tatoes" since we're lucky enough to have a fresh/local source of sauerkraut nearby :-)

What am I doing now? MAKING BREAKFAST -- I'm HuNgrY!

Heh. There's a thought :}

I do have lazy days, and then it's just a can of baked beans ;D

Yum ... have you ever tried making Goulash a la Szeged? ;}
Two varieties of meat (pork & beef), evenly diced, lots of
Onion, Hungarian hot paprika (not smoked!), a bit of salt,
pepper and bay leaves, with Sauerkraut - slow-cooked for
~ 2 hours.

Me too! :D

Honey toasted muesli, fruit salad, home made yogurt & almonds.

I had sausages, chips, and baked beans last night - very tasty! Chips (fries) made with real potatoes (King Edwards) fried in sunflower oil (was traditionally done in beef dripping, but mad cow disease stopped that). Not quite made my mind up about tonight's meal...mmmm.
