Does a website that allows you to bookmark and catagorize recipes from around the web exist? Something sort of like Wists for wishlists, or Ravelry for knit and crochet patterns. Food Network, Epicurious, and Recipezaar let you add personal recipes on top of theirs, but I want to have the links and photos from a variety of official sites as well as blogs and forums all catagorized neatly together.

saintwithasw0rd puts the question to catholicism: What Does The Church Teach About The Intersexed?, specifically addressing Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome which is just one form of being intersexed. And the discussion is on!

napoleonofnerds notes that East German women used this condition to cheat at sports, and while he is not aware of a Church teaching on the subject, he advises that should these women choose to identify as men, they should remain celibate. He later opines that "We don't let Downs Syndrome patients or schizophrenics into seminary either, and none of that is as bad as dying at birth without the aid of the sacraments. How is this significantly different?" and it gets wankerific from there.

Then cinchntouch asks if these people could be brothers or sisters since they can't be priests (never mind it was stated in the beginning the Church doesn't HAVE a teaching), to which napoleonofnerds helpfully answers that the severely disabled are often taken in by religious communities, and his_bee mentions that Catholic religious communities will not accept any candidate with a mental illness, because clearly being intersexed is a mental illness. Not to be outdone, in a slight topic shift cinchntouch tells schneckerock that the Church is NOT about happiness in the afterlife. When schneckerock points out that the Church has been canonizing martyrs for a long time now, cinchntouch rebuts with, "so, by your logic, Christians should support genocide an slavery because it gives people the chance to be holy?" which is SO what schneckerock meant. Not.

Later on, in a discussion about impotence preventing canonical marriage, shemale, a intersexed trans person, points out that AIS people have vaginas and can certainly have intercourse. To which saintwithasw0rd points out that since they are XY chromosomally but do not have a penis, they are "impotent males" and therefore unable to have intercourse and get married.

If anybody wants to know the actual opinion of the Catholic Church, check out the book Ethics and Intersex by Sharon E. Sytsma, in the essay "Christianity and Human Sexual Polymorphism" by P.B. Jung.

Hey everyone,

I am looking for some help.

I love BBQing or Grilling (not sure which one is the correct way to call it when you are using gas) but really do not know the in's and out's of it.

I just throwing things on the grill and pray it tastes good.

I would love to find a really good book that deals with maintance of the grill,
recipes and helping with tempertures and stuff.

Also I am thinking about getting a new grill, I just have a semi cheap one from Lowes.
If anyone has one they love I would love to know which one.

Thanks in advance.

To finish off the truffle pasta with shrooms, I knew I wanted something a little rich, to compliement the light flavour of the pasta.

It had to be robust...full flavoured...with texture.  You thought I was talking about a good red wine huh...nopes... i needed something meaty.  

Note:  The richness of the lamb will be just right when served with the shrooms pasta.  The lemon flavour will give the herbed lamb a very unique taste.  The lamb will not overpower the flavour of the pasta.

As a waitress in a small family run restaurant, I always try to introduce the tourists to some food that I love, that they may not be able to get at home.  Does anyone have any regional favorites?
I'm in Thunder Bay, ON, Canada and here's what I suggest to people:
Persians:  is an oval-shaped, cinnamon-bun-like pastry with a sweet, pink icing made of either raspberries or strawberries.  Really good split and fried with butter!


Butter Tarts:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butter_tart
I can't make them to save my life, but our cook makes amazing ones if anyone wants a recipie!

Poutine: French fries with cheese curds and gravy - Soooooo yummy

As well, a lot of Finnish dishes are popular here as we have the highest Finn population outside of Finland!

Mojakka (pronounced moyakka): It's a stew with beef, carrots, potatoes, onions, celery and whole allspice, but in a beef broth instead of a gravy - always taste better the next day
Finnish Pancakes: Which are thin and the size of a dinner plate

Crock Pot Corned Beef

INGREDIENTS

* 2-5 kilo silverside/corned beef (I've often done 2 together)
* 1/4 cup peppercorns
* 2 (12 fluid ounce) bottles beer (I used a cheap Aussie beer and it was fine. Careful not to drink the beer first though. hic)
* water
* 2 bay leaves
* 1 bulb garlic cloves, separated and peeled
* garlic and seasoning salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the corned beef into a large pot with 2-3 balls of wadded up tin foil underneath. Sprinkle in spices, if desired. Pour in the beer, and fill the pot with enough water to cover the meat by 1 inch. Add the bay leaves, peppercorns and garlic cloves. (I have also not covered it with water and it makes a nice crust on the top.)

2. Put on high for an hour or 2, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 4 to 5 hours, checking hourly, and adding more water if necessary to keep the meat covered.

3. Carefully remove the meat from the pot, as it will be extremely tender. Set on a cutting board, and allow it to rest until it firms up a bit, about 10 minutes. Slice or shred to serve.

This is amazing hot with fries and steamed veggies or delicious cold on a nice rye bread with sharp mustard. Easiest corned beef recipe I have ever found.

 someone tell me, is it weird that i dont feel pregnant?
yet im 12 weeks today...

 Hi,
I am 32 years old and have had my Mirena for almost 6 months. For the past few weeks, after having sex with my boyfriend I have had horrible irritation and burning inside me. I went to the gyno and got tested for everything. They told me that the Mirena might be causing me to be dry inside and that I would need to take Premarin vaginal cream for 30 days to increase my estrogen. Has anyone else experienced this? I couldn't find anything about it anywhere. Do you think I should consider having the Mirena removed? It has been wonderful up to this point. No side effects and no periods from the start. Thanks for reading this.

Back again! It's old, it's small, but it's just so goshdarn cute that I couldn't resist.

shiori_hime can't understand why a child would stare at her and her mother for wearing yukata to a Japanese restaurant.

The fact that "we're not in Japan and my mother and I aren't any flavor of Asian" probably has nothing to do with it.

Bonus from deadwillwalk: I always wanted a jade green cheongsam to go with my eyes. Jade green eyes? The real problem is that they don't make cheongsams that change color, Mary Sue.

So, I might attend a vegan potluck picnic this weekend (if the weather is up for it), so I'm looking for suggestions of what to make.


Looking for something simple to make and prefer something more of a finger food, or at least something easy to serve and doesn't involve cutting and slicing to serve.




Here's some of the stuff I have: apples, asian pears, bananas, soy milk, flour, canned pumpkin, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, zucchini, tomatoes, tvp, tofu, bell peppers, fresh figs, canned peaches, spinach, rice, quinoa, oats, agave syrup, etc. And bunches of dried spices and herbs and stuff.

So, my 15 month old daughter has bitten two 10 month old babies in the past few days. The first one a stranger in the ice cream shop that she was playing with and then a friend's son today in their home. It's bizarre because for the past month she has been running after children her size and hugging/kissing them. Now, every once in a while she sneaks in a bite- today on the poor little boy's cheek!
I am not sure how to help her with her impulse other than to watch her like a hawk around other children, tell her gentle mouth, please if it does happen again and then pointing out to her the emotions of the child she has bitten. If anyone has any other advice- please- I want this phase over soon but am feeling pretty helpless.
