HK3's Journal, 20 Nov 21

So - this little friendly back and forth over dinner - this is not going to ruin our friendship ... is it? 

I do believe that this type of banter must look better when other people do it - What do you think ... Mr. O'Brien ? 

I already finished all the SoCo ... and ate all of the hotdogs and I did not need any lemons. Thank you for caring about my liquor supply. 

Life must be hard for you. (that is not a question - because I really do not care - that is a statement) 

When I am a wizened old grandmother - about 85 sitting in my wheely chair surrounded by the great grandchildren during the holidays - and if I hear Gordon Lightfoot - I will spit and say out loud - "lying thieving O'Briens" (and the little children will remember me long after I pass over by saying - "My nana always despised the O'Briens"  

I can't do this any more - I am no where near as sharp edged as you. I am too nice to do this to you ... I cannot do this any more. I was going to call "Truce" but I was waiting for you to call truce ... first - but - you are a man and you cannot "give up" like that - but a "Truce" is not surrender but like a draw - where both sides agree that they are equal and no need to carry on so. We could call a Truce like stalemate in chess where nobody really wins or loses. I cannot do this any more - it is bad for my self-esteem. 

Well - you think about it Mr. O'Brien and you let me know. 

Nice meal! I think I'll cook the same things next week and freeze by the plate! Thanks for photo.❣ I don't eat pith...my taste buds just say No to pith!😁  

It is not that I do not care - because I do care - I really do - it is just that - I already gave you more of my life than I normally would have on any occassion since you demanded my attention because I normally just ignore you - It is not that I do not care - it is just that I cannot be bothered with bantering with you. I just cannot be bothered. 

You have a good one - eh. Try not to pick on other people. Tap it cool. 

How you did that zucchini? I just fry them. 

Very lightly pan fried - he is a very good cook - it is an old family recipe. 

30 Supporters on this one posting ... Mr. O'Brien. Now, you would have more friends if you answered their questions ... you will find that people are the same everywhere - everyone appreciates positive attention and it is not a hard question. So ... Do you like potato salad ... "No?" 

Good morning! Rise and shine. I’m all about open dialog and do appreciate finding common ground. I do find your posts about sodium and magnesium interesting, believe it or not. But there is one thing that can be agreed upon above all else. The first observation that brought us together is that a BMI of 18.6 makes a person a bit…well…nasty. You’ll be happy to know I’m a solid 22 and there is hope for me yet. And I do appreciate a good chess reference as my dad taught me to play when I was a wee lad of 4. Anyhow…I can’t stop being me, the asshole, it’s just too much fun. But if you know that going in to the discussion it makes more sense…does that make sense? Coffee is ready. 

And yes the zucchini was seasoned with salt and pepper about 20 minutes before pan frying to get a bit of moisture out. Dab away with a paper towel the water that’s been drawn out by the salt. Added a touch of onion powder before throwing it it a medium heat pan with olive oil…didn’t really use a timer as your eyes tell you when it’s time to flip it, but probably 2-3 minutes per side.  

The red potatoes are quartered then tossed in olive oil and the same seasoning as the pork…salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and oven baked on a sheet pan for about 45 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking. Make enough so you have leftovers because they make killer home fries the next day…cut the quarters into quarters again and pan fry in butter this time. Mmmmmm. Cook your fried eggs in the same pan for easy cleanup. 

Awww - I LOVE coffee HK3 - and in this life - if you cannot afford to purchase 250ml of coffee each day for me - regardless of the personal attachment --- then i have to go and seek accommodation elsewhere ----Coffee is that serious. I slept in this morning and have had one coffee - YES - I know about the your personality and the Nasty People thing ----Taken completely out of context - the low body mass index statement ---- resulted only because of a horrid and relentless personal attack on another individual who was a friend of mine - I actually considered in that situation that I had controlled myself quite well by only making a personal observation. ++++ In my world if it keeps acting like a beach then it must be a beach..... Just like you - I do not like all people all of the time either - and very few of us like everyone all of the time (that is a ridiculous concept) and my body mass index is getting lower by the day but - still much higher than your body mass index of 22. (smile) 

Thank you for the cooking methods used ... Your zucchini looks fantastic and so do the red potatoes - I will remember - that is easy and looks fantastic - nice work. You made my mouth water. 

There was no justifiable reason for the attack by the self-named "Asian sisterhood" - and all things being "balanced" if I started promoting a "Caucasian Sisterhood" - the entire place --- as usual --- would almost light itself on fire. Any slight suggestion of any Caucasian association or Supremacy usually causes fear - there is a good reason for that fear - since are we are formidable force - as proven throughout history --- and --- as stated in past history - those who do not study history are bound to repeat it. The entire situation blown completely out of proportion is nothing but "silly" and I usually do not participate in silliness. 

My one stated "observation" in defence of another individual member who was being repeatedly attacked for no justifiable reason at all- was used - basically as a manipulative prop to gain attacks from other people who had never read the entirety of the original post - all of the attacks promoted from low BMI member who also just joined in May 2021 ------ Myself and the other member under attack almost both quit the site on the same day --- all because of one person who acts like a small spoiled child most of the time and requires multiple personal daily reinforcements just to get through that day. Just a personal observation (sips on her second cuppa coffee) If you do not like my observations - Do Walk on By --- this is the O'Briens - having coffee in the morning.
