Paranoid Android Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 there's something about garlic I don't get. I think I like garlic, quite a lot at times. I use it frequently in cooking. Yet often it seems that the rest of the world wants all their food to taste only of garlic and a hundred cloves should be thrown in every meal.

I remember having a meal abroad and accidentally biting a garlic clove, it tasted like a nuclear bomb had gone off in my mouth. Nasty. I love garlic, though, especially the smell. Just not the cloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Did i stumble into the Master Chef thread?I agree food is ace-ic though and i fucking love garlic (jobs working with both the public and store staff are not forgiving of this though). I very rarely eat Italian food out as a rule as i can usually make it as good at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl anachronism Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 While that is definitely true, I have never been to a restaurant where they make it like that! Any more stories from America about decent chilli? At home you can make anything as spicy and flavoursome as you want, but it's one of the dishes that are always underwhelming in restaurants over here. Unless you know of any good places that serve it!To be honest, I found the food over there pretty disappointing. We had high hopes for a couple of Mexican cantinas we visited- due to the obvious proximity to Mexico and the fact that there were shops selling the most incredible ingredients a couple of doors away, but it was all pretty bland fare. Restaurants over there tended to definitely go for quantity over quality and it was all a bit stodgy and heavy for me. We were so done with the smell of BBQ by the time we got back as well! There were a few places just outside the city centre that I'd go back to. The latter being this Thai place that had the only really spicy food I ate whilst there. It was a bit of a dive, but a lot of the Chinese and Thai students seemed to eat there, and that's usually a good sign.http://www.motherscafeaustin.com/d/5034805_38253.htmhttp://theveganyacht.com/menuhttp://www.thaikitchenofaustin.com/dinner.htmIf we go to SXSW again, I reckon we'll just rent a hotel suite with a cooker and take advantage of the local produce.As for chilli over here, around three years ago, The 78 in Glasgow used to do the most amazing smoky chilli wraps, but seem to have stopped :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diarmaid Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ace-ic. Getting sent home from work early as it's my birthday, allowing me to crack open the deck chairs in the garden with an 8 pack of Peroni. I'll no doubt be burnt the morn, but braw nonetheless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Sounds like a great guy. They're all fake though, clearly. There's so many that involve his job. There's no way all that could happen without getting the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsum_Fantastic Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Giving blood for the first time today. Is there a van that comes around or do you have to go to the hospital? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I went up to the hospital. Day off, so thought I'd do something productive and have a nice walk in this weather. Bit of a bummer that they're only Monday to Friday though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not allowed to because I'm on epilepsy medication Have looked it up and there is a few days where they are open till 7ish but it is still pretty tight. I have never given blood but really want to, don't most cities have a van, a guy at work said when he was working in Westhill a van used to come around.

keeno Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I just checked the times and they have changed a lot. it used to only be Wednesdays and Tuesday evenings you could donate but it seems it is a lot more open now. Unless these are only the opening times of the center and not when they accept donations. Monday, Thursday and Friday were previously used solely for the vans going to community centers and other sites around the shire. http://www.scotblood.co.uk/aberdeen.aspxI haven't given in the best part of a year actually so I should head along. I'm O- so get a special gold card! Giving blood is about the only time I am made to feel special I've never actually seen the vans around though. When I was in Edinburgh one came to my school and another was at a church near where I worked so the first 2 times I donated were at the mobile centres.

Frosty Jack Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 You used to be able to just rock up on a Tues night and wait your turn, or earlier on a Wed. They've changed it now so it is Mon - Fri but they prefer if you phone first for an appointment, which is a lot easier as you could be waiting for hours before but now you're straight in and out. They still tour about various sites like colleges etc and they quite often go to the Music Hall.Monday: 8.30am - 3.30pmTuesday: 12.30pm - 7.30pmWednesday: 12.30pm - 7.30pmThursday: 8.30am - 3.30pmFriday: 8.30am - 12.30pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I give blood regularly, but its a bit of a pain getting bookings there sometimes. I'm due one now, convinced Waltz to go, so if anyone else wants a lift to there and back, I'd be delighted to! Good on you Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm a bit shit with needles too but the one with giving blood didn't bother me much. Sadly I've only given blood once, first time I'd do it as a regular thing but then a couple of trips to malaria zones ruled me out for a long time. I should be able to do it again now though, so I guess I should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I've had days off work going to the Dr with my girlfriend 'cause she's afraid of needles and needs my rugged manliness to calm her down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
