Khyber Pass I had dinner tonight at Khyber Pass, an Afghan resto on the Plateau (on Duluth). Getting to the Plateau from the 720 was half the battle as there were so many roads closed; the other half of the battle was finding parking on the Plateau. I bought a bottle of a very unremarkable...

Chapters has books on Tantric Sex.

An European (sic) Lunch A couple of weeks ago, at loose ends around lunchtime, I decided that it was time for me to try the $25 lunch special at Europea; it was recommended to me highly by the much-maligned GG. The place was busy, but not full, so I got in without a reservation, and without...

I asked this question a while ago as I am particularly fond of duck confit. I did not get any responses. Surprisingly, the one at Pied de Cochon is not good.

You want ME to pay YOU to give YOU free advertising??? What's wrong with this picture ??? :confused:

It was an assumption, O Great One ! A thousand pardons ! If you do know how to sew, I suggest that you make us all MERB golf shirts. :p

Why is "Le Grand Fromage" doing a "thread test" ??? Is he planning to take up sewing ??? :p

Thanks Beav. I was always concerned that I would be accused of shilliing for them. I really do like the restaurant. I just wish that they would do away with their risotto cromesqui amuse bouche; it is a bland, deep-fried rice ball that is no indication of what is to follow. I had a really superb...

As I cook well, plus do other stuff (I'm a techie), I originally chose "Chefplus", but most merbites kept referring to me as "Chef", so I asked Mr. Flintstone, er, sorry, Mr. Zed, to change my handle to "Chef".

Mod 1 is Le Grand Fromage, aka Fred Zed.

A Garcon! Brunch Revisit My SO and I went to Garcon! last Saturday for brunch. This time we eschewed the usual brunch stuff like Eggs Benedict (which they do really well), omelettes, etc, and went for the brunch Table D'Hote (a bit expensive at $32 for brunch). It was the kind of menu I like to...

What do I really like ? Kids. They are a lot of fun, and I get on great with them.

I have a problem with humans - too many bones ! :)

I don't like cats or dogs, but would not hurt them. They are fine as long as they stay away from me. What I hate are pet owners who think it's okay for thier damn pets to jump up and sit on me when I am sitting down. I do not like to have a dog licking my face or a cat scratching me. Why should...

That's what you call a masshole. :)

Not only would it be best for them, but this is what the law requires. A lot of people are not aware of that. Of late I have noticed this a lot. I was once behind an idiot on the 417 West who, when I flashed my lights at him, kept pace with the vehicle on the right so I could not pass; the idiot...

By the time you have inserted your French post into a long English thread, it is likely that unilingual French speakers have already abandoned the thread, and your post provides them with nothing as it is a French response to an English post which they do not understand. Your statement that...

Ziggy, I'm curious. In the middle of an English thread you submit one or more posts in French; you do this consistently. What's the point of this, apart from breaking the thread and making it impossible for some to follow ? I read French, so I don't have trouble following, but I' sure that a lot...

You got it, Techman ! Agrippa: I have a problem with "music" where the guys sound like they're high and can't stop talking. A couple of months ago I spent about a half-hour at HMV in Toronto, and the stuff playing was rap. I have no idea who it was, but I left exhausted.

I second that. In any case, doesn't this discussion belong in Agrippa's grammar thread ? Getting back to the subject of the thread, i.e. what do you hate the most? As a keen music lover there is "music" that I truly hate with a passion (it's not music, it's crap), but I don't want to get...
