Heard today that a girl I used to like is getting married. Haven't seen her for years but it has put me in a reflective mood anyway.

Oh well, at least I've got my valium.

Unless you are over 28 years old, it's a bit young to be marrying anyway. Don't worry about it.

When your former contemporaries move beyond your own situation in life, no matter what it is, it is always disconcerting. To live in the past is comfortable, but not always the safest bet.

Some of my Mormon friends from high school got married at 19 and have multiple kids now in their early twenties. I feel nothing but pity.

too close on second thought, soz

It is not necessarily the marriage and children and such. It is more the notion that you have been left behind in social norms by your contemporaries. As you age, the thought just becomes more consuming.

Like this friend has done this and that and she or he married him or her, and you ask yourself, what have I done? It can depress some. Especially if you have grown up with said people.

An acquaintance from high school married at 19 a guy who was almost twice her age and had a kid less than a year later so yeah, I get the whole pity thing.

Always comes in handy for when you are cooking in the oven.

As a Mormon I know there's a lot of cultural pressure to marry young and have lots of children but if it's what they really wanted why pity them? Raising kids doesn't have to be a bad thing. It can be, but that doesn't mean it always is.

Kids shouldn't be having kids. Ask anyone over 35, we are all still kids.

We were in our late 20's when daughter was born. It has worked well; great kid, and we're happy. But I shudder to think what it might've been like if she'd been born even just 2-3 years earlier. Everyone is different, but for me, the difference in maturity level between 25 & 28 was pretty significant.

And yet those same 35 year olds trust us with legal adulthood. I agree that a lot of young adults aren't ready for kids but some are, like Bramborough says everyone is different. People mature at different rates, especially at our age it seems.

Some days I feel like that is an oversight on their part.

WE ARE STILL MEN, so let's exchange cooking tips. I have found sambal to be an excellent addition to my basic pasta-sause. It used to be chopped tomatoes, onions, fresh basilicum, and too much garlic (is there such a thing), but adding a few spoons of sambal makes the basis of the sauce complete. Add Shrimps and some fresh lemon.

edit, forgot mentioning oregano, essential.

I learned yesterday a really simple yet delicious peanut butter pie: one cup of creamy peanut butter, one cup of pasteurized egg yolks, and one cup of marshmallow fluff. Mix and pour into a cooked pie crust. Freeze, then serve. Really simple.

Didn't really know where to put this, so I thought here would be ok.



Off to see the Rocky Horror Show in Manchester next January. Havn't been to one since the 80s. Shoot be a hoot!

Have to agree with you about Sambal, bit of Chili only enhances a pasta sauce and brings up the flavours and no there is never too much garlic in a tomato pasta sauce.

My tip is to use canned tomatoes rather then fresh for a pasta sauce. While in most things fresh is best. It does not apply always. My favourite brand of canned tomatoes for pasta sauce is Italian Mutti.

Best thing about chicken is that it is almost impossible to ruin. Lots and lots of Finnish forest-herbs, mauled dried mushrooms, and smoked salt make an excellent mix. A deer roast would be a better idea but deer is expensive, chicken will have to do. These herbs are impossible to get here but my mom goes to Scandinavia a lot.

Made Beef Goulash yesterday for myself and the Woman. I guess its more Pörkölt as no meat goes into my stews without going to the pan before cooking.

Beef,Onion,Paprika or is it bell pepper, Garlic, Tomatoes, tomato puree,brown stock and Hungarian semi Sweet red wine. For spices salt and pepper, ton of Paprika powder, cumin seeds, bay leaves and some Chili sauce. Salad and this season potatoes to go with it and voila!

Looks like we need an Org recipe thread - "What are you eating now...yes, right now!" or something like that.
