I wanted to put some lemon curd on my bread for breakfast and I tried a microwave recipe, advertised as "it can't be any more simple". Maybe, but at the end it was not lemon curd but a sort of omelet just good to go to the garbage...

NoWayRo Well, you can either blame the device, or the person who posted the recipe, for not writing good instructions I ended up making polenta with vegetables and cheese in the microwave. It wasn't bad - though I'm still not sure it counts as...

NoWayRo Hmph, I will obsess about this for a while. I know a goddess for brooms, but none for cooks? It's odd. My best bet for restaurant owners would be Edusa, the goddess of eating. But I will look deeper into this when I find the time. Actually this...

NoWayRo As a guess, I'd say Vesta, since she was in charge of domestic fire - but honestly, I have no idea. Probably there was a different god for each dish, and with slight variations depending on the amount of spices and salt

NoWayRo @topffer: I won't put the paper online, it's actually a pretty boring academic thing, but thanks for the interest. I agree with you, Romans would definitely have another god, and quickly create a festival to honor him. With all the technological developments...

NoWayRo @topffer: I'm not back. I'm nowhere to be seen. I'm working really really hard, have not even checked my e-mail in three weeks. If anybody asks, I haven't been around in ages, I just vanished from the face of the earth. I agree that the food...

NoWayRo Thanks for the tip; I remember I fiddled with the settings a while back, though I don't remember how low I set it, it's been quite some time since I decided I could live without this option

I think, I am not working smart, but there's a lot of donkey work involved here. I know I am improving as an online writer after being two years here. When I look back at articles two years old, even I don't wish to read them, let...

NoWayRo There's no bidding on iwriter, all prices are fixed. You just accept a project (one article per project), you write it in the given timeframe and the client accepts it or rejects it. If you decide to register, there is a short video tutorial that will explain...

This morning in Bourges, a city in the center of France, a man -- a teacher -- came to the prefecture to declare the possession of a Japanese saber and to ask a permit to carry it. As the permit was refused, he began to threaten...

NoWayRo I agree with you, purple. I expect police officers to be able to handle a weapon, but not to be exceptional marksmen, like the kind we see in movies. I mean, how often do they need to fire a weapon outside their training ranges, anyway? If they manage to shoot...

NoWayRo A firearm seems to me a bad choice when fighting against a sword, it's not fair play to shoot a jedi. Had the policewoman shot the man before his attack, I'm pretty sure she'd be on trial now for use of excessive force. There's really very little police can do...

NoWayRo Bluedoll, I can picture a discussion between two answering machines over a tequila shot: "I can't even begin to tell you what a day I've had. I've been trying to contact some leads, and make some sales - but everywhere I phoned, there were only humans. These...

This is the third attempt at writing this as I am not sure how to completely write this without giving away too much detail that you don't need to know. Either way I feel you may judge me or make assumptions and be rude. From...

NoWayRo Sorry, I misunderstood the part about the letter. You're right about the in-laws - and I think that's also why we both find it so hard to talk to our fathers. It's not just between me and my father - it's about a whole complex situation with two families...

NoWayRo I think you're doing the right thing by not opening that letter, there's no point in scratching old wounds when you have fresh problems to deal with. Maybe when we're older and we get a new perspective, we'll both find some answers. I'm now closer to my...

NoWayRo Hi there hardworkinggurl, It's so unfair that some sites do not allow you to delete your account. I'm going through a paranoid phase, and I've been wondering whether some of them do not keep a copy of the details we initially enter - ie, before we change...
