I think asexual sans reproductive ability is more accurate. Same with Greg,

It's usually a hollow building block made with concrete and coal cinders.

Concrete cures at room temperature (plus some
self-heating). It's not fired, unlike cinder
blocks.

What kind of coal cinders do you imagine are
used to make cinder blocks? Are you aware that
cinder blocks have high porosity? How do you
suppose all that empty space in the cinder block
is made?

Recipes for salmon in the dishwasher turn up in newspapers every now
and then. It used to be turkey in the dishwasher; I have no idea what
caused the change.

And over the decades, there've been several cookbooks for cooking on a
car engine.

Cinders: Partially or mostly burnt material that results from
incomplete combustion of coal or wood etc; An ember; Slag from a
metal furnace. Also known as fly ash or bottom ash - a byproduct of
many industrial processes.

It's all there in the dictionaries, mark. You just need to convince
yourself that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about and
may need to look it up. Everything out there on the web supports
what I've been telling you, but your brain refuses to comprehend any
of it.

Go have your narcissistic short circuit someplace else. Lets get
back to food.

Really. I've shown him 8 different definitions now but he refuses to

I don't "imagine" at all. Coal cinders are the result of burning coal. I
don't really know what specific type of coal was burned to produce the
cinders used in the manufacturing of cinder block, but it doesn't make a
didfference in the process. They are already cinders before being
introduced into the block manufacturing process.

> Are you aware thatcinder blocks have high porosity?

Yes.

The same way the empty space is made in concrete blocks...through a molding
procews.

I dn't know where you're gettng your definition from, Mark, but I have not
seen any definition that states cincer blocks are fired.

Cinder blocks differ from concrete blocks in other ways besides their
hollow design. Concrete blocks are made from a slurry of Portland cement
and small aggregate, such as small stones or gravel. Cinder blocks, on the
other hand, are made from a combination of Portland cement and cinders, the
dusty remnants of burned coal. The result is a lighter weight block formed
into a rectangular masonry block. A true cinder block will always be
lighter than a concrete block, and the texture of cinder blocks may be
rougher than finished concrete blocks.

If you actually have a better/different definition, then post the whole
damned thing and quit with your silly questions.

BZZT, they are called cinder blocks because the aggregate is coal
cinders. They used to be really common in our area because lots of coal
cinders were available so it was a cheap way to make blocks. I don't
believe any block plants make them locally because they don't comply
with building codes because they are much weaker than concrete blocks
and also very porous which helps them deteriorate.


For a while some local plants continued to make them because they use
the same exact process as concrete blocks only the recipe is different
and they sold for a little less.

Cinder blocks are different from concrete/cement blocks.

Cinder blocks are a type of concrete masonry unit. Just as the
article you cite clearly indicates, and just as I said. Look up
"cinder block" on Wiki. Where does it lead? Concrete Masonry Unit.

There's plenty of room over in mark's corner if you'd like to join
him.

You obviously didn't grow up in a guinea neighborhood... no self
respecting guido would ever use cinder blocks... pure C-menta blocks
only!

Actually not fired brick... cinder blocks are a cement/concrete block
that also contains cinders/ash from burning coal.

Dishwasher Salmon

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
heavy-duty aluminum foil

Prep

1 Cut two 12-inch square sheets of aluminum foil.
2 Grease the shiny side of the foil with the oil. Place 2 fillets side by
side on each square and fold up the outer edges.
3 Drizzle 1 tablespoon lime juice over each fillet. Season with salt and
pepper.
4 Fold and pinch the aluminum foil extra tightly to create a watertight seal
around each pair of fillets. Make sure the packet is airtight by pressing down
on it gently with your hand. If air escapes easily, rewrap.
5 Place foil packets on the top rack of the dishwasher. Run dishwasher for
the entire "normal" cycle.
6 When cycle is complete, take out salmon, discard foil, place one fillet on
each plate, and spoon a generous serving of dill sauce over top.


This bright, fresh-tasting sauce will add some bite to your catch.


Piquant Dill Sauce

1 tablespoon butter
1 leek, white part only, finely chopped, then thoroughly washed
1 shallot, minced
1 jalapeño chili, seeds and membranes removed, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 cups lightly packed fresh dill, stems removed before measuring
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons sour cream

Prep

1 Melt the butter over medium heat in a sauté pan.
2 Add the leek, shallot, jalapeño, and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes,
or until the leeks and shallots are translucent—but not brown.
3 Reduce heat to medium and add the stock. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
(Adjust heat as required to maintain simmer.) The liquid should reduce by half.
4 Remove from heat and let cool.
5 Transfer to a blender or food processor and add the dill, lemon juice,
salt, and pepper. Puree until smooth. Reserve and reheat just before serving.
Stir in the sour cream at the last minute.
