Should We Recognize Anniversaries?

[hobbes]

Forums are built on both contribution to the purpose (P2P) and loyalty (which establishes a sense of community).

We already recognize contribution.

How should we recognize loyalty?

I say this because I notice that 1 year anniversaries are starting to become a daily thing.

[Infested Cats]

What kind of anniversaries?

[Triadcool]

Yea what kind?

Nah.

I was just amazed that I finally hit 200. :o

I'll be on my deathbed waiting for 1000-never happen, I'm too political. :lol:

The "anniversary" thing is all NikkiD's fault, she's the one who caught it. ;)

'Course, she's a mod; I'm loathe to criticize. :rolleyes:

Now, let&#39;s make it some fun then:

Porterhouse Porridge.

http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/outdoor-living/how-to/tuscan-porter/tusc03.jpg

http://snouts.deyalexander.com/img/thegraham2002-02.jpg

http://www.gedneygrille.com/Porterhouse%200004.jpg

Porterhouse Porridge with Mushroom and Garlic Sauce
4 10 - 12 oz. Porterhouse Steaks

Bring steaks to room temperature. Grill on high heat 6 minutes or until golden brown. Turn and cook on other side 5 minutes or desired doneness.

Note: You can tell when a steak is cooked to medium by touching the fat part of the palm of your hand under your thumb. Poke your hand and when the steak feels like that it is done to medium.

Mushroom and Garlic Sauce

1 lb. mushrooms (of your choice)

3 minced garlic cloves

1 T. oil

1 1/2 C. beef broth

3 T. flour

3 T. butter

Saute mushrooms in oil with garlic. Cook 4 minutes and add beef broth. Bring to a boil and cook about 4 minutes. Mix butter and flour together. Whisk into mushroom mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Note: After sauteing mushrooms you could if you like add a little Maderia or Sherry. Cook a couple of minutes before continuing with recipe.

After all this you put everything in:

http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/universal_meat_grinder_op.jpg(jonno can instruct you here........)

If needed, repeat this peoces till satisfactory fluidity is reached.

Speed: In our testing, the Bosch Universal meat grinder went through over 40 lbs. of beef in 10 minutes with the included 4.5 mm plate (4.5 mm is a little smaller than 3/16".) Plate diameter is 2-1/4". Large 6" x 12" feed tray. Fan-cooled motor for continuous grinding.


Put the Porterhouse Porridge in a nice bowl and sprinkle some chives over it.

Time to munch:

Pick your favorite straw:

Is this what they call "licking the bucket" as opposed to "kicking it?"

[thewizeard]

I think we should recognise all members anniversaries, except for those that joined on the first of March 2003..... ;)

That goes without saying.

Maybe in recognition of their commitment, we should add grey hair to their avatars or perhaps swaddle them in a comfy forum jacket. J2 looks very dapper in his.

I think the correct response would be "EHHHHH."

Forum anniversaries are depressing. ;) Why would I want to be reminded of how long I&#39;ve been here? Thankfully mine&#39;s already passed...I was a lurker for a while before actually registering.

:ninja:

[j2k4]

Not me.

I didn&#39;t read the FAQ-I registered, then lurked.

Noobity on parade. :D

EHHHHH? :lol:

Is&#39;nt it funny that people who initially argued with you when you came aboard as a noobie are now your good friends.

Noobs complain about flaming, but if they have the wit, patience and intelligence to weather the storm, they will be embraced.

If not, they will become the new "octopussy".

I am glad that I met resistance here because I do not consider myself to be a simple entity, I consider myself to be an acquired taste, like wine.

I guess my lesbian 6th grade teacher said it best:

"Hobbes, when you got here, I didn&#39;t know what to do with you, now that you are leaving I don&#39;t know what I will do without you". (She hugs Hobbes, who reciprocates- we became very good friends)

Well, I am guaranteed advancement in the next year or two.

I should now indicate that Ms. Pierce is now a former lesbian and my wife.

Our children are in the 4th grade.

Yup.

The connections you make here seem pretty durable.

You and Clocker were among my very first; I trust we&#39;ll stay "connected".

I&#39;ve said it before:

This place has a dynamic unparalleled by anything I&#39;ve ever done, except one, and that was a short-term task-force thing.

This is different (the occasional picture post aside); there is the quality of disembodiment borne of the "cyber" aspect, combined with a trust that certain voices will always be there.

The level of trust here is pretty high, and pretty solid.

Why, I can think of at least 5 people here I&#39;d by a used car from&#33;

With that, I bid you all good evening. :)
