Is there a TF welding helmet perhaps?

I chose #1.

I'll be cooking grilled Salmon for dad for Father's Day.

Salmon is one of my least favorite meats...

Ah, I see...

While I'm fond of copper, I think the "#15: Brain Locker" will do
nicely, kinda fits with my no crusts on cheesecake thing...

Yup. I was killing time in an office and went to the groups via Google.
Clicked the link and voila!

Lin,

The 3.0 firmware just became jailbreakable today on Macs. Not PCs.

I'm not eligible for the 3GS unit upgrade until next January. ((

That's about what we do. But there's so few things either of us
dislike it's not really an issue. I don't like squash so she'll make
it for herself but not often. She doesn't like liver. She's out of
town so for lunch today I made mashed spuds with liver and onions.
She won't even have to smell it. Works for us.

Respect for each others taste is always a good thing. :-)

I cook for dad as his cooking skills suck, and he knows it.
I can cook something he likes that I don't care for far better than he
can...

I'd wager it's because you are a sweetie and not just because he's
related :-)

He does praise my cooking so it's encouraging.

There are not many things that my wife loves and I hate, or vice versa.
We like a lot of the same things and have some things that we eat less
often. However, she likes liver and I just can't get into that. She
hates beets and I don't mind them. Sometimes when we go out for a meal
she will have liver and I have a bowl of Borscht.

I've never been with anyone who liked liver so since I've left the
nest I've only had it in restaurants. Yesterday was the first time
I've ever made it. We spoke in the phone last night and I mentioned
how much I enjoyed it. She said she could deal with the smell and I
should make it for myself more often. But IMO there's too many things
we enjoy together for me to make 2 main dishes. Her making squash as
a side is a different story. I often cook on a large griddle that
covers two burners. I could pull off two different dishes on it but
then you've got the leftover issue. There's a few things I'll cook
with the intention of having leftovers but for the most part I try to
avoid them.

The problem with liver is the smell. Well, the taste, too, but if you're
not going to eat it, that's no problem. I really don't want to be
around that. You always knew when it was liver and onions day
in the cafeteria at work, it would hit you before you even walked
into the building. Nothing else on the menu travelled that far through
the exhaust fans.

So I think it's very sweet that you make it when she's not around.
She has a lovely name but it's not coming to me right now. (laugh)

I can't picture making liver for anyone as I can't stand it. How would
I know when it was good. Fuggedaboutit.

But making squash for someone, it's harmless enough, I can't picture
anyone would object to that even if they don't eat it.

It is pretty pungent.

>So I think it's very sweet that you make it when she's not around.

She said she could deal with the smell but I see no need to make her
do it. When she does her hair the smell makes me want to gag so she
usually does it when I'm not home. Common courtesy goes a long way in
a relationship.

>She has a lovely name but it's not coming to me right now. (laugh)

I don't object. It's just never been an issue. I'd have to google or
ask here to even know how to prepare it. Louise loves pumpkin too and
I don't care for it. Every fall she gets a few and I'll help clean
them but there's no way I'll eat pumpkin pie. But she has been making
pumpkin rolls the last few years that are pretty good with ice cream.
That's about as close as I'll come to that stuff.
