Another Interim Food Post

[jmcquown]

I've got a pot of broccoli-cheese soup simmering on the stove. It's
chilly here in SC so soup sounded like it would hit the spot. It will!

I'm still going to make the stuffed pork chops I posted about yesterday.
I sure hope Gary doesn't get upset by my continuing to post about
food/cooking on gee, a cooking newsgroup.

I'm going to finish off the pot roast I made the other day. I'll poke some
green beans and mashed potatoes down my gullet as well.

It's quite overcast here, verrrrry windy (my wind chimes are having a
field day) and 36°.

That's a problem with broccoli. I like it slightly cooked, but when it
is overcooked it develops a nasty taste. I avoided broccoli soup for a
long time for fear it would be over cooked. One day I broke down and
tried it in a restaurant where the soups were usually really good. It
had a bit of that over cooked quality. It was better than I expected,
but not something I was interested in repeating.

There is some humour there. I had suggested that if he was fed up with
being filtered and being targetted by the alleged forger he could try
using another username and stop acting like the Bruce that pissed off so
many people. He needed to change the personality. He seems to have
listened only to the part about changing the user name. He forgot to
change that obnoxious posting style.

It was fine the way it was. I was posting as Bruce and people who

I was not asking if it was fine the way it was. If you have not noticed,

The problem is that you cannot face the reality of majority opinion.

He cannot change that. It is a part of him, and it permeates his

OOh, that looks good! I haven't had cream/broccoli soup in a long time.

Neat looking vintage table cloth also. It reminds me of the "old lady"
knitted blankets that I throw over the back of my couch, in a way. When
my great aunt passed, no one wanted them, so I took them. To think of
all of the work that she put into those, probably years of time, and the
consensus was to pitch them out otherwise.

[Michael Trew]

The troll is pathetic and childish for trying to silence a person, and
is too selfish to realize (or care) that they are more inconveniencing
the rest of the group than Bruce himself.

Clearly, both said troll and Bruce are both far to head strong to let
the other win. It's clear as day that neither is about to quit posting,
so the continuation of trolling and name-changing is basically a solid
definition of insanity on both parties.

I don't see why Bruce doesn't realize that the same people who still
respond to him now, will continue to respond to him, troll or no troll.
Basically, I'm saying that the troll isn't his problem.

Ok, someone's using their brain.

It's not all that important to me to post here, but should I really
let a troll chase me away?

But you see the troll's strategy, right? If there are 50 posts under
my name, 49 of which are useless troll posts, how many people will go
through all that junk to find the one post by me? When I use a new
name, at least the first few posts under that name are actually mine,
depending on how quick the troll is :)

You'd think that the upstanding citizens of RFC would support me
against the troll. I'm a genuine contributor, whether you like my
posts or not. He, however, is a troll and a frogger.

I agree with you that long-cooked broccoli, eaten plain is not so good.
For me, it's ok in a soup though as it blends with other flavors.

I made a small bit of broccoli-cheese soup last week and it was good.
Only used turkey stock, broccoli and cheese.

Then the other day, I made a 4.5 quart batch of turkey vegetable soup.
Used about 1/2lb broccoli plus many other vegetables and a few short
noodles thrown in. It is so tasty.

I'm really enjoying this soup this winter. I have a bit each day and
soon as I run out, I make more.

The alleged troll does seem to have it in for him, but he persists in
the doing the things that seem to annoy the troll. Look at the number
of times he has nymshifted in the last few days and he is instantly
identified as Bruce, so everyone who has done themselves the honour of
filtering him just adds the latest version to the filter. He may think
he is keeping one step ahead of the troll but he has to realize that he
is the one that is getting filtered, not the troll.

Yes. Very occasionally I respond to him directly, just to show him that
his logic is flawed (i.e. that we still read him, we just don't feel to
give him any direct attention.)

It's much better to refer to him in the third person. That really irks
his narcissistic personality. He calls that 'speaking about him behind
his back'. Anyone who wants to actually do that needs to use email. But
he cannot do that about anyone because he's too afraid to use a real
email address.

No, but I'm constantly being criticised and people who don't like me,

We would have the answer if we could figure out why Bruce is here to
scan every post just to add a catty remark. That would explain why one
person would do it. I suppose we could believe that there is a second
person who has the same annoying habit. Or... maybe it's one person
double his pleasure with little effort. It's kind of difficult to even
pretend to have respect for someone who would do that.

A troll isn't going to tell me what to post and neither are you. You
can be very annoying yourself, and sometimes I comment on it. Deal
with it or killfile me if you can't deal with it. If you want
moderation, go to Facebook.

It takes a level of mental illness to keep up with his every name
change. The constant devotion to Usenet, sitting in front of a computer
all day... I just cannot comprehend. There is no way that a bot is
doing it, it's some lonely person who is clearly very bored. Perhaps
they should volunteer their time to be productive.

The problem doesn't start with the name changes. The name changes are
a reaction to the problem.

No doubt it would be a lonely person. Can you imagine anyone who acts

I did it years ago when the casa boner troll was causing problems
here. Basically it was some programme that acted as a proxy between
the server and newsreader, allowing sophisticated filtering. Yes, I
used Agent but can't recall if other clients can be used.

I've forgotten all the details now but if you're still interested I'll
do some googling and look for it.

But neither does 'Bruce'. He uses a fake name and email. So do I, of
course. It's a personal choice whether or not to post under your real
name. Personally I choose not to. And as time goes by, there are more
and more reasons not to. But, each to their own.

That seems like a good broccoli to everything else ratio.

We still have soups here now in the summer, or at least a broth, often
as a side dish with Khao Man Gai (Gai = Chicken).

https://www.thaicookbook.tv/thai-recipes/one-dish-meals/khao-man-gai-thai-chicken-and-rice/

The good thing about this dish is the chilli sauce is optional, so for
those who don't like spicy or too spicy can adjust accordingly. We eat
this regularly.

Cauliflower and cheese soup is good too. The recipe I used, was for
Gruyere. (same method as brocolli and stilton soup. Then at the end you
toast half an English muffin for each person, cover it in more gruyere
and put it under the grill/broiler to melt the cheese. Then float a
cheesy island in each bowl of soup.

Especially when it is a new nym and a dozen posts. I thought we had
made it clear to him that it is him, not the alleged forger that gets
him filtered and ignored and that if he came up with a new user name and
a more acceptable persona people might interact with him. Nope, he comes
up with a new nym and the acts the same way that got him filtered before.

Nobody can have as many friends as you dave. Master druce, however

I'd like that, but make mine *both* halves of an english muffin. I
do eat more, but not nearly as much as popeye.

[jmcquown]

I like cauliflower & cheese soup, too. The toasted English muffin with
cheese under the grill/broiler then floated on top of each bowl is akin
to the cheese topped crouton placed atop each bowl of French onion soup.
A nice addition. :)

Yummy, very. I don't think I made a cauliflower soup at all last
winter :/ It's summer here now, of course, so will wait until
winter... but will make a point of making cauliflower and cheese soup.

I've seen several people here genuinely try to explain this to him in
the past couple of weeks. It's proven futile.

He just doesn't get it (yes, he thinks WE don't get it). Despite what
(to me) appears to be the vast majority of people here all in
agreement on this, we are wrong and he is right. He's the 'victim'
here :)

>and that if he came up with a new user name and
>a more acceptable persona people might interact with him.

That would work for sure, if he could maintain civility. He can't
though. It would remove the primary reason for him being here at all.
It's obvious that he derives some sort of pleasure from sniping away
and criticising people here he feels are not in agreement with him on
everything.

>Nope, he comes
>up with a new nym and the acts the same way that got him filtered before.

Until he chooses to leave, dies, or something else, nothing will
change. After all these years, clearly trying to reason with him isn't
going to work.

Since we're talking about a hotel in your price range, that's probably
correct.

I'm sorry the soup bowl of hollowed out bread is no longer in style. I
loved that soaky, tasty bread you could eat at the end of the soup.

I don't care about "in style". I have potato leek soup in a bread bowl
on my list of soups to make again before too long. :)

A lot of people were upset when Tim Hortons stopped selling chili in a
bread bowls. CBCs satirical new show This Is That did an spoof on it.

That's just so weird - but funny as shit. Well, for one thing, I thought Tim Hortons was a coffee shop. I love my brother-in law but he just wouldn't shut the hell up about Tim Hortons coffee the last time he was here - so I had to knife him in his guts.

[Dave Smith]

It is a coffee shop. It used to stick to coffee and donuts, with tea,
milk and soft drinks for alternate beverages. The started to diversify,
tried cakes and pies, then started into soup and chili, then sandwiches
and eventually devolved into a crappy fast food joint. I hope that
your BiLs enjoyment of the place was from years ago because if it is
more recent he must have Sheldon's TIAD. Their coffee sucks now.
