    What can you expect in the Food Thread on PF?

    I've done this with both stuffed pepper and stuffed grape leaves which are really time intensive and both turned out great. You can microwave the peppers first so they are nearly well done, fix the rice and sauce separately, layer the peppers or grape leaves and rice and sauce or mix the rice...

    What do 'nerdy' guys like in girls?

    From our lady family members. Just remember - one thing girls are very good at is talking. Ask them relevant questions - career plans, hobbies, things that are important to them, things they like to do for fun, favorite foods and so on and be seriously interested. Look your best and if you...

    Can Relationships Thrive When the Woman Is Smarter?

    Chemistry professor to males students "Find the smartest girl you can and get her to marry you. You'll never be sorry." The "smart" girl doesn't need a super brainy guy. She needs a guy who is perceptive, who appreciates her for who and what she is and with whom both will be better than they...

    Why are there so many posts about

    To make this more interesting let's extend it to a different species and since I've had a great deal of experience with equines who have no agenda I'll share their gender differences. Equine males are in general more friendly, have a much more highly developed sense of humor, are sweeter and...

    BBT's Portrayal of Nerds: Offensive or Accurate?

    Thoroughly enjoy this show but it is pretty much the opposite of my long ago fellow physics majors, professors and researchers. For one thing every one of my fellow physics majors, all but one, male, was super smart but very very popular with the ladies (and the single female had an attractive...

    Did the Trayvon Martin Case Expose Flaws in Stand Your Ground Laws?

    Yes this is a terrible tragedy and one that could have been avoided if the man had been carrying a stun gun instead of a hand gun. As a parent I feel the pain of this young man's family. And looting and destroying a store as the mob did helps in what way? Florida is home for many many very...

    The restaurant business is like the horse business - to make a little money you have to start out with a lot of money.

    What can you expect in the Food Thread on PF?

    Corned beef and cabbage need to be cooked until the beef can be pulled apart like barbequed pork. The leftovers are great for sandwiches, seasoning collard greens and making corned beef hash. Cook the cabbage until you like the texture. I also like it quite soft. You can also devil corned...

    What can you expect in the Food Thread on PF?

    Interesting. One article said to add beef fat which grocery stores will give away, to your home ground beef so that you have a 50% mixture. Wonder if your meat market uses higher fat content? Cause fat is sticky?

    What Are Your Best Mind-Boggling Questions?

    Pete54 - no we don't always fail and we don't always succeed. Environment is a factor because certain environments can trigger certain types of behavior but remember we are hardwired as a normal human to care for our "extended family" and to find those who are not part of our extended family, a...

    What Are Your Best Mind-Boggling Questions?

    Last question first - transferring memory from one individual to another - first of all it would be a higher order species with a real brain. Second - the transfer of memory does not have to be done by removing it from one and moving it to another. It can be done by recreating what the memory...

    What Are Your Best Mind-Boggling Questions?

    Here's another one that probably has been answered but I haven't come across it. If a bird is raised from egg by a different species with no contact with any of its own species, will it produce sound like the adopted species, like it's native species, or somewhere between? Additional relevant...

    What can you expect in the Food Thread on PF?

    Nope this is beef you grind yourself. I never buy supermarket ground beef. Can't remember where I read it but I have noticed it's true that it doesn't stick together well after it's frozen.

    Still haven't found out why freezing beef before grinding or after for that matter keeps it from sticking together. Freezing does rupture cell membranes but why would that cause the ground beef to be less sticky??
