everyone drives down to Providence for the food.

I'm going to have to visit, because food is very important to me!

I've been in a lot of American cities, and they always seem to do the food good. The couple of times I was in NYC, it really impressed me that no matter where you ate - even a corner shop for pizza - the food was exquisite. maybe we were just lucky?

I haven't drawn in years. Probably since my early to mid 20s. Been doodling on and off last few weeks.

And yet the one time I was in London, and went to an Italian restaurant for pizza, the service was mediocre (it took them nearly an hour to make one pizza, and they ignored my questions), and the crust was burned.

A few days ago, out of curiosity, I googled the place and found it was permanently closed. Gee, I wonder why.

If you want good pizza, go to Italy. No contest. (No surprise, either).

London

How can I phrase this nicely...

Give me a minute.

Still thinking.

I'll get back to you.

I gotta make another shoutout for the pizza in Galway, Ireland!

Has anyone been following the story gone viral about Punch the baby monkey?

I'm going to cry in a corner now.

Can I bring you something? I've got a couple of frozen pizzas in the deep freeze and may be able to come up with enough cheap whisky to kill the taste.

Punch the baby monkey?

We have hot tubs, thanks to snow monkeys who discovered it.

A few years ago, 70 year old man either jumped or fell into a thermal pool in Yellowstone. It was so acidic that it dissolved everything except part of one foot and the shoe it was in. I've often wondered why that foot and shoe didn't dissolve.

I plan on dying someday, but I dearly hope I don't precipitate the event by doing something stupid.

Sorry, Homer. But what is wrong with authentic Italian pizza (in Italy, no less)?

Out of curiosity, I just googled "Are Yellowstone thermal pools dangerous?" and ... ack! They absolutely are. Not just acidic, but extremely hot (easily reaching 200 F), and concealing bacteria and toxic chemicals. Jumping into them sounds like a colossally bad idea.

Perhaps this man may have fallen in, because of a medical condition. Regardless, that's one hell of a way to die.

Over here in Australia, some tourists* (especially in northern Queensland and the Northern Territory) insist on messing about with crocodiles**. I've seen news-stories about people swinging on ropes above crocodile-infested waters, or even boating or swimming (!!!) in the same waters. Obviously, it rarely ends well ... because some people are morons. ;-P

* Not just overseas tourists, but anyone from out-of-state. You will only find crocodiles in the northern parts of Australia.
** Crocodiles are NOT the same thing as alligators. Also, freshwater crocs are usually fairly safe, but don't provoke or surprise them. Saltwater ones are a different story - they're huge (anywhere from 11 to 20+ feet in length), territorial, and VERY aggressive.

There's nothing "wrong" with it, but that is not pizza any more than pasta is Chinese or tomato sauce is Mesoamerican. It's got nothing to do with the technical origin, it's the culinary culture that turned it into something memorable.

Congenital stupidity is a common medical condition. One can't can't trip/faint/accidentally stumble into a pool Prominent signs posted everywhere warn people to stay on the walkways because the pools and surrounding areas are dangerous. The crust around them can be thin and idiots who ignore the signs have been known to go crashing through, not only killing themselves but destroying a natural feature of the park. The Yellowstone version of romping with the crocodiles is petting the bison.

As I continue to research podcast cameras I can't help but wonder which pornographic cinematic necessity was the genesis for this feature or that. Because you know more than half of these things are being used on Only Fans. At work, we had gotten one of the camera harnesses so chefs can film themselves "cooking." There were a few different notches for camera angles in the apparatus. Guess where those pointed?

Pornographic cooking shows could be dangerous if fancy chopping or deep frying techniques are included. Kind of a combination of World's Best Chef and Survivor.

Sometimes I feel like I am making love to my food.

 

[CatrionaGrace]

Okay. That remark left me with exactly nothing to say, but since I am bound by terms of the thread to reply... I did.

Anything is dangerous if done with no clothes on (except for making love and taking a bath/shower). But combine nudity with sharp knives and the boiling oil, and we're back to executions in medieval times.
