Anyone have any Slovak recipes ?

My grandmother used to make this egg thing. It was cheese and egg and not
sure if anything else, drained in fine netting. It made a big ball and was
served cold. I was young and don't know how she did it.

He's an amazingly successful troll. Why not start with his mom or dad,
or a sibling that paid attention when he was a kid?

Likely his gm isn't even Slovak.

Thanks for the link. Good article. The Nexus 7 tablet is Google taking
Microsoft's idea of integrating hardware/software one step beyond by

In the unlikely case you (or anyone else) are (is) really interested,

Easter Cheese
Traditional Slovak Easter Cheese is usually served on Easter Sunday, with
baked ham and beet horseradish or on sandwiches, but it can make a lovely
complement to any Easter dish.

Recipe
Preparation time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

a.. Eggs - 12 pieces
b.. Milk - 4 cups
c.. Sugar - 1 cup
d.. Vanilla extract - 1 tablespoon
e.. Ground nutmeg
Instructions:

1.. Mix the eggs using electric mixer; when they are well mixed, put them
into a double boiler.
2.. Add milk, sugar, vanilla extract and nutmeg. Simmer for 30 minutes (be
careful with scorching, constantly stir the bottom of the pan).
3.. The concoction should look just like cooked scrambled eggs; if it does
so, pour it into a cheesecloth-lined colander. Gather the ends of the
cheesecloth and pull them together.
4.. After the cheese forms into a ball, tie it tightly. Let it hang (from
the faucet or over a bowl) for 1-2 hours.
5.. Place on a cooling rack set over a pan or bowl. Set a heavy object on
the top to press out the liquid. Press for about 2 hours. Put the cheese
info the fridge for several hours before slicing and serving.

I think you are looking for Village Idiot Stew.

Just jump in the bathtub with a buttload of vegetables and fill with hot
water.

If you have one of those immersion heaters, so much the better. If not, you
can try one of those electric charcoal starters if the stew isn't heating
properly. I hear a hair dryer or space heater will work if you can disable
that pesky ground fault plug.

Just helpin' out.

If you mean the one with rat meat, no. I might be able to find the one
with cockroaches though.

Mine too. I think there was some kind of liquid but I'm not sure what it
was. I'm pretty sure she baked it, but it might have been fried.

But alas, the recipe is lost. The Cylons burned down the village including

I think my dad did mention "syrec" the other day but didn't know how to
spell. Thank you for the reply... Have you ever had it, or made it?

okay so I think this is it. But can someone translate? Maybe the visual is
good enough.

why isn't she using an egg beater and seeming to use a paint stirrer in the
pot? Maybe she says why in the video, but I don't know what she's saying.

Do you think I could substitute soy or rice "milk" instead of cow, goat,
etc? I wonder if I could flavor with roasted red pepper or garlic, sort of
like hummus? Maybe cut down the recipe and use less eggs so not so much
cholesterol?


http://www.iarelative.com/sirok.htm
15 eggs Lightly beaten
1 quart milk
Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Pour milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add eggs slowly to the milk.
Add salt and pepper. Cook over low heat and stir constantly so mixture will
not scorch. When all egg has been cooked, pour mixture into a linen towel,
squeeze mixture into a ball shape in the towel and tie. Hang over sink and
let it drain for several hours. Remove and refrigerate. I wrap mine in a
saran wrap at this time.
There are several variations to flavoring the sirok. Some people add sugar
and vanilla instead of salt and pepper or combinations of that. Parsley is
used and one friend insists that only whole peppercorns should be used. So
whichever way you choose to spell the name or flavor it, it is a traditional
Slovak Easter food.

Snork yourself troll-boy. When you do a search on Google, you'll
frequently get sponsored links on the top and to the right of the
non-sponsored search result links. As far as I know, Ad blockers don't
do shit to suppress these links. Of course, in reality, they're paid
advertising but you're too stupid to realize that.

Oh it works, it suppresses well. This is a "Hosts" file:
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt

It suppress all adds, on Google and elsewhere, and never fails. Upon
copying this text file to the appropriate location, there are no more
any adds on Google or any other search engine, web forums or similar.

*nix systems users will simply copy the file to the /etc/hosts. Windows
and Mac users depending of the OS version may need couple of simple
instructions: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

Before using it, there are several commented (#) addresses which when
uncommented were troublesome for early versions of Firefox and few sites
as Disney etc...
Today it just works, just uncomment everything # 127.0... and enjoy adds
free internet. No adds at all, nix, nada, nil, zero.

Forgot to tell it works best with disabling all cookies in your browser,
and enabling only cookies that you need; for example paypal,
foodnetwork, and perhaps couple of others that you really need and want
to have permanently installed.
Of course, Google can't place any cookie file in your browser, and its
search engine and youtube still works.

This sounds like an ad promising the world. I don't really need this old
school stuff. I haven't had to worry about ads popping up for several
years since the Chrome browser was released - it probably uses a host
file subscription service but I don't have to load anything. It's kind
of funny how people still have problems with this. I simply don't have
to think about popups anymore.

OTOH, host files don't do a thing about Google sponsored links. That's
the breaks.

I've seen unhealthier. Actually, all food is healthy, depending on
how much you need it. What's wrong with a few eggs? Milk is used to
make lots of things, including cheese and yogurt. One cup of sugar
doesn't sound like much in relation to the other items in the recipe.
Doesn't sound like something I'd want to make (although I'd certainly
try it if someone else did the work), but I wouldn't say it truly
unhealthy. It's not like you're supposed to sit down and eat the
whole thing at one time.

Listen up Somebody, I can't fault you for asking questions - I do
the same thing - but it seems with you that one answer merely begets
another question - and sometimes even a barrage of them that no one
could possibly ever answer to your satisfaction. It sounds to me that
you're looking not for someone to teach you something, but for someone
to do everything for you - a robot maybe. Even a good robot after a
while would probably quit on your demanding ass, or at least start up
a protest with other robots for better working conditions.

Try a little trial and error now and then Somebody. Have you ever
done that? If so, when? How do you do it? Do you usually experiment
with cooking at night or during the day? Does your food come out more
to your liking on Sundays as opposed to mid-day weeks? Is the sun
shining or the sky dark on those days when your food comes out just
the way you like it? Does anything ever come out just the way you
like it?

Of course not, because you're a hopeless complainer, like I told
everyone the first time - but you're an all right guy, so for now I'm
gonna let it slide

I have nothing against robots. Some of my best friends growing up were
robots.

Maybe I should get a cooking robot. Does roomba make a decent one? Or
should I try an Apple iRobot? I need one that can cook ethnic food.

You don't have better things to do than google shit up for people?


no, I was interested so I googled it for myself. then I thought I would

Agree with you, TJ:
Eat whatever sounds good, just don't eat lots of it.

Disagree with you, TJ:
Food is completely unhealthy. It's evil. It will kill you eventually.
Even to quit eating food now, it's too late...the damage is already done.
You will definitely die.

Thanks for that. One of the things about people googling things on
their own and quietly going about their business; it doesn't expose me
to anything new or different.

I don't know what browser you're using but the Chrome browser uses a
list of known bad sites and gives warnings when you go to that URL. My
assumption is it's generated by Google. If I recall correctly, Firefox
will give you a choice of third party hostfile subscription services on
setup but I could be wrong. Chrome is also great at blocking popups. I
really hate it when I use IE or Firefox and a dopey ad pops up. It's one
of the reasons that I try to avoid those browsers.

Adblock works on web browser level only, while hosts file works accross
your entire system for all internet applications.

Hosts file blocks not only known bad web sites like adblock and similar
plugins for web browsers, hosts file also block 3rd party cookies,
tracking beacons, counters, google.analytics and other analytics pages...

Theoretically it speeds things up because it looks to the localhost for the
webserver for the ads, and (assuming your PC is not a webserver) it times
out faster than it would load the ad. I haven't gone back and forth much
but I remember noticing a speed increase when I started using it.

I also use Noscript, Adblock and Flashblock with Firefox, but the hosts file
works for other apps.

I solved my problems with pop-ups, 3rd party cookies, and malicious and
phishing sites years ago. It's a non-issue for me.

When I say "sponsored links" I'm not talking about pop-ups or malicious
links. Sponsored links do not pose a problem for me. My original concern
was Google skewing search results in my favor by using my location.
Using an anonymous proxy search request pretty much resolves that
concern. Google using location services to customize a search is a good
and useful feature but it's not good if you're doing a survey of search
result placement.

I've noticed something about your technology oracle posts. You always break
out the "dinosaur" and "old school" drivel whenever you've backed yourself
into a corner or you're trying to sound knowledgeable while in way over your
head.

Which I suppose is why you bring up such inexplicably condescending terms so
often.

I appreciate info I can use. Maybe you've never used ad-blocking
software but I consider programs like Ad-Aware, Adblock, and NoScript an
essential part of running Firefox and loading them in was always a part
of a fresh install. Perhaps you think manually loading host files is the
cat's pajamas but I don't have to do that because my browser does it for
me. Maybe you guys don't know what a sponsored link is but I do.

There's a lot of tech savvy guys on this NG and I appreciate their
useful tips. OTOH, expressing disdain for GG and using a newsreader
don't make you a geek. Whether you like it or not, you technodinos are
way out of touch with current events. Of course, it's your prerogative
to live in the past - just don't whine about it if others choose not to.

I use Firefox and extremely rare to have a popup ad. I did install an

I used to be a Firefox faithful but I think it's gotten fat and bloated
with all the add-ons. Of course that's mostly my fault for loading the
things in the first place. OTOH, I use Firefox to edit my website while
in the browser. That's super cool. Otherwise, I use Chrome cause it's a
lot faster.

And once again with the dino dung. And once again, as I previously pointed
out, you have nothing else of value to offer as either information or
rebuttal, just another ASSumption about the future, so you roll out the
condescending crap as if your pontifications qualify you to cast aspersions
on those with real knowledge to share.

Maybe you think calling dinosaur creates a field of omniscience around you.
As long as you seek it's protection, you think you're a genius. Is that it?

If you can't figure out how to block ads and popups in Firefox, you're one
of the most functionally clueless computer users ever. And you namecall
people for not keeping up with your vision of technology? Oh, the IRONY!!!!!

AdBlock+ is excellent. It's function is completely transparent. Ditto on
Noscript, too much hassle. I'll have to look at Ghostery.

I like Flashblock a lot. It shows me where there is suppposed to be flash
content on a page but it doesn't load unless I click the Flashblock marker.
It can be configured to allow Flash from selected sites.
