ok so my boyfriend and i had a baby six months ago, just last month we finally got a place of our own, we didnt want to rush anything bc we had only been together a year. anyway long story short, we finally decided it was time to move in together and things have been great, until recently. i had to quit my job bc i worked ina different town. my bf was understanding about it bc he knew it was ridiculous for me to spend so much time driving back and forth. he told me hed take care of the bills while i looked for another job. well here we are three weeks later and still nothing, i swear i have applied everywhere in town! it is hard to finda job right now, i have even applied at fast food restaurants, anything, i just need to be working. i called him an hour ago on his lunch break, he works nights, and he had this pissy attitude, and i asked him what his deal was and he says to me taht he is tired of me doing nothing, and that if something doesnt change quick hes going to kick me out, which is crap, my name is on the lease and i paid all the deposits, not him. anyway, i was like what the hell u know ive been putting in applications every freaking day and trying so hard and he said that it doesnt matter that hes just tired of me doing nothing. well then i got mad, bc i dont do nthing. i take care of the baby day and night by myself bc he works at night and sleeps all day, i clean the house, i do the shopping for the house, i have his dinner ready every night for him before he goes to work, most nights i cant even sit down and eat with him bc im feeding the baby her dinner as well. he helps me with nothing. he never changes a diaper, he never feeds the baby, he wouldnt even watch her for fifteen mins tonight while i ran to return a movie, he made me take her with me bc he was playing a video game. im so pissed by this comment he made of me doing nothing, when i take care of t he house and the baby all the time with no help, and im busting my ass trying to find a job, but what he doesnt understand is that its hard for me to find a job bc i have to work certain hours around his shift bc we dont have a babysitter. honestly right now my first instinct is to tell him to go fuck himself bc him talking to me that way and telling me i do nothing is just ridiculous in my eyes, but im just wondering if maybe im overreacting and i should jsut turn off the phone and cool down bc all i wanna do right now is call him back and tell him to kiss my ass. i understand he is the one working, but he only works eight hours, then he comes home and sleeps for ten, gets up plays video games and goes back to work, so for himt o tell me i do nothing….ugh!!! im so furious!!!

I’ve looked absolutely everywhere, but I cannot find how to make Chinese-style egg gravy. It is very thick and slimy, and I’ve found it a wonderful compliment to thick chow fun noodles.

It looks most like this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3230/2603321531_9f0b95628f.jpg

Please help! I want to know how to make this dish so that I may cook it on my own, as it is a rare treat to get this at a restaurant!

My mother bought 10 pounds (yes, 10 lbs) of Thai black sticky rice and attempted to cook it as brown rice. Needless to say, it didn’t work. It was gooey.

I’ve looked up recipes online on how to cook it and everything I’ve found deals with a cheese cloth and soaking the rice for hours before even cooking (and I think you need steaming equipment and so forth).

Is there a way to cook this stuff quickly that isn’t as involved as what I’ve found? Or is this a situation of get what you need and spend the day cooking the rice?

Maybe I should donate it to our local Thai restaurant in exchange for cooked black sticky rice? LOL Just a thought!

Thanks!

A friend of mine has a small restaurant which serves meat being cooked while the animal is still alive. The animals are paralyzed using some sort of drug. At first I thought badly of it but having tried it, it is one of my favourite ways to eat, but is it wrong? I know it may be illegal, which is why I cant say much, but the only animals he does it with are dogs, calves and some types of birds. so is it wrong? I don’t personally think it is but public opinion may differ.
In answer to the guy who asked, the restaurant is within a thirty mile radius of reading train station but its a secret restaurant, members only, so I can’t really reveal anymore than that, sorry.
In South England if you don’t know Reading.

WEST PALM BEACH - Batik, cool batik, is back.

Here, a kids shirt from Dripdrop batik; we spotted their booth at the craft fair on St. Armand’s Circle in Sarasota, but most weekends, they can be found at many a Florida city square.

Cool stuff, and while there are some peace signs, …
