Scanning real photos isn't really that good either. Or maybe i just haven't seen any really good scanners. But i really don't get the point of putting up grainy pics.

my scanner is sweet, you can't even tell it's scanned instead of a real photo ....

as for the whole vegetables=bad thing .... I love meat a lot, but things like fried, mashed or (best yet) roast potatoes, corn (either on or off the cob) and broccoli are delicious, and can be cooked in some many awesome ways .... they compliment the other dishes (read: meat) cooked

Corn isnt vegetable,it falls in the cathegory of wheat(or is it called dufferently?),and boiled broccoli,cabage,carrot,etc are really

.Fresh ones,though,taste excelent.Oh,and spinach is one of the rare exceptions to this rule,along with potatoes.

It's actually a (seed) fruit, as is wheat and most other grains, for that matter. But by culinary standards it's often used as a veggie.

Bah, botany is so fully of crazy nomenclature it makes me ill.

I thought that fruit excludes wheat from that category.

Culinary and botanics are weird indeed.One calling tomato a fruit and other calling it a vegetable

i went by common usage with the corn

spinach is

potatoes are indeed excellent, plus there is nothing wrong with cooked vegies, especially a broccoli and cauliflower cheese dish, yum!!!

That really depends on how they are prepared.Cooked vegetables loose most of their value.

asandir · Unread postby **asandir** » 08 Sep 2006, 02:09

they may lose some of their nutrient value, but in general, i think they taste better cooked

And you had to repeat it because your vision is blurred from eating cooked carrot

I like writing and calligraphy. Here's a sample of my handwriting.

asandir · Unread postby **asandir** » 08 Sep 2006, 07:40

nice work tLD .... i just don't have the patience for that sort of thing, i find it easier to admire those that do, and have the persistance to follow it thru

theLuckyDragon · Unread postby **theLuckyDragon** » 08 Sep 2006, 07:50

Um... thanks, but you really don't have to 'congratulate' me. That's my regular handwriting. By calligraphy I don't mean that complicated stuff other people do, with lots of flourishes and illuminations.

Meh.The only thing that can make you barf there are the bananas,else is just great.It reminds me of some of my wild experiments though.One of them was is so sweet,so ubersweet,that you must drink tons of water after every bite.Want to know the recipe?
