I don't understand why they plop themselves down in the middle of infidels, then demand a mosque and sharia law. I suspect they have a long-term plan, but we would rather bury our head in the sand and pretend what we see is not what we see.

It annoys me being barred from an entire cultures food because of an allergy...<br /><br />Make your own mix of spices for curry and just leave out coriander. There are recipes for mixes of curry spices, so just look, since you will have to make your own version due to allergy.

No, you don't eat them but apparently they add flavor. Ever tried this?<br /><br />Maybe it was a poor translation and they were trying to tell you to cook it in a clay pot cooker. I can&#039;t think of the name, I used to use one, but it was an Indian word.

Coincidence?<br /><br />Notice who bothers to answer your poorly premised statement disguised as an informed question? You all just keep encouraging one another that Fox News is in control of the minds of the brain-dead zombies who are conspiring to conspire in amazing ways...keep convincing yourself. Yadda, Yadda.

She probably feels like she is doing a public service by having this particular show, thus relieves any guilt she might feel about...

When I turn it on again the cable comes on but the red light on my TV just blinks red and doesn't turn on. It is like the the TV isn't getting the connection.. Any answer to the problem?<br /><br />My complicated TV has a reset button on the side. The blinking lights blink in a certain way so as to tell you what kind of problem it might be. See if you have a reset button hidden behind a little side panel. You usually have to use a paper clip to poke the button. Try that. Good luck!

So is it okay for me to go Bi or Gay?<br /><br />Work on a relationship first. That takes awhile, then you&#039;ll know where it&#039;s going. Over eager guys are annoying. I&#039;m sure you&#039;re nice, but don&#039;t be desperate. You sound desperate. Desperate people do desperate things and then they live to regret it.

However, when I make it myself it's more compressed. It's regular firm tofu I buy. How to I get it like in the restaurant?<br /><br />I freeze my tofu. Then when I defrost it, I squeeze all the liquid out. Then I usually marinade in a soy sauce mixture. Anyway, freezing it changes the texture and I like it better that way.
