    Food atrocities

    1,000x yes about raisins. They do not need to be anywhere near a cinnamon roll. Now my grandma made these stellar cinnamon rolls with some orange flavor to them. It sounds crazy, but the were great.

    Eggplant Parmesan. I have nothing against eggplant, but if you're going to parmesan something, make it chicken or veal. Breaded chicken wings. If they're breaded, I just go boneless. Vinegar barbecue. No. Thanks.

    Food atrocities

    A woman speaks out against pumpkin spiced lattes? Thought I'd never see the day. :ROFL: I also second cheap wines and cheap deserts. If you are going to indulge in something, have little of it and make it quality.

    And bringing things back to Tolkien, one of my favorite parts in ROTK was when the Gondorian Army assembles to fight Gondor. Tolkien describes the lords and their retinues. Some quaint feudalism they didn't feature in the movies.

    Very well, I'll let your peers decide. Summon the elector counts! Except for @Sackcloth-N-Ashes. He can muck the stalls. If you're interested in nonsense like this, you should check out the Republic of Sealand website. Yes, you too can become a Duke or Duchess of a WWII fortification for only...

    It's possible. A friend of mine worked for Trump in Minnesota last go-around. Said there's a good chance it could flip.

    Is unconditional election biblical?

    What has been said about your joke inventory that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan? It looks bombed out and depleted.

    It's really amazing how fast they'll turn on somebody over that.

    It feels great, but I wish it included all the usual perks- feasts, tournaments, trumpets, hog-hunting, and the occasional war with my meddlesome cousin. The closest thing I have to the last one is @Sackcloth-N-Ashes.

    Waiting on God

    The fact you specifically asked for practical tips suggests you know you ought to focus on and enjoy what's in front of you. Keep working for the Lord and do your best with what He gives you, even if it's small (parable of the talents comes to mind). Do this and the big things you desire will...

    Is horseracing cruel to horses?

    Where did he write that? CS Lewis has said some stupid things, but that's pretty wild. I agree with you on this point of prudence. I'm a firm believer in animal cruelty laws. I'm guessing we disagree on what's considered animal cruelty.
