Serious question: Conservative Cave folks attacking members of a cooking and baking forum

[Aerows]

where they exchange recipes, discuss ingredients.

Now if you find yourself manly or womanly after running down members of a group.

Sharing recipes because you think they aren't ... holy, manly, womanly or godly enough, I think you need to sit down and have a conversation with your therapist.

When you ridicule folks exchanging recipes based upon whether you agree with their politics, you have lost all grasp on politics and need to re-evaluate your approach to life. Cooking you a pancake isn't Democratic or Republican. It's that somebody gave a damn to do it.

[Enrique]

1. the Cooking and Baking Forum

is the last refuge of scoundrels!

[dem in texas]

28. Conservative Cave

I read it was lurkers from the Conservative Cave. Their top subject is writing about DU - so sad, they need to get a life.

[Aerows]

56. That's what it was

some dumb people from a website so lame they have to troll the cooking forum of another site to seem relevant. Really, trolling a cooking forum?

[alp227]

142. The idea that liberals are people just scares some (by some I mean "far too many") people

in this idiocratic nation of ours!

[Pab Sungenis]

127. If they ever come after you, PM me.

I have the contact information for their hosting service, registrar, and site owner if you need to file any DMCA notices or legal complaints.

[sabrina 1]

173. Some of them are also right here on DU. Best thing to do with place is to never go there.

They are a small, dark corner of the internet filled with people who are exremely disturbed, with no lives, and led by a true psycho. I watched it for about two weeks about a year or so ago and recognized where some of our own 'DUers' came from. Not hard to spot, and then clicked them off. It felt like taking a shower after wading in slime for a while.

[Aerows]

55. It's an exciting place

filled with intrigue.

Once I got there.

[quinnox]

2. I have no idea what this is about but it sounds interesting

[TxDemChem]

25. Me neither

I subscribe to the group, but don't read every thread. But that is so sad if someone brings drama into the group.

[Aerows]

36. Conservative Cave members

get their jollies off of posting about the DU cooking and baking thread and bashing it. Now I don't know about you, but I'm kind of nerdy and hang out in cooking and baking threads. If I was so damn nerdy that I had to hang out in cooking and baking threads JUST to bash people that hang in cooking and baking threads, that seems like a fairly wasted life, to me.

[grantcart]

59. Conservative Cave - are they still in operation? Its been years since I even stopped by to see what

it was about.

They know more about DU members than we do and apparently never get out of the house or basement.

[Aerows]

62. Apparently

they haven't been out of the basement and seen sunlight in years if they are trolling DU's cooking forums. I actually use C&B to cook for the family. Since, you know, I have one.

[nadinbrzezinski]

107. Correction, they think they know...

Important distinction. They posted a thread with details about my fictional life that I was tempted to use it in fiction, but it was so off, it would not work for that either

[madrchsod]

166. i would like to read those fictional details...

i follow your facebook page. where do you find the time to rack up the posts?

[nadinbrzezinski]

167. And I get my 8 hours of sleep

I use my FB for my news writing mostly. What eats time like you would not believe is the twitter feed, and the Facebook page for brush fires, like today. We had not one...but four vegetation fires at one point. Updating the twitter and the brush party line and three scanners were all kinds of "fun."

And I was planning to write some fiction today.

The young and the restless...downtown edition, continues tomorrow. Pressers with 45 minutes to get to them...best case...woohoo!!!

I am glad we are not DC, a major scandal a year...how do they do it?

[Warpy]

84. Conservative Cave? Well, we always suspected they were troglodytes

It takes creativity, math skills, timing, and a host of other skills to take raw ingredients, mix them correctly, apply heat, and turn them into something not only edible but enjoyable.

I'm sure the troglodytes find that hilarious as they heat their Top Ramen in tin cans over Sterno.

[onyourleft]

86. This did...

...make me laugh out loud, the last line. I've noticed you have a great way with words.

[Aerows]

109. Oh come on now

Opening a can of chef-boy-ardee over a homemade alcohol stove that could spill over any minute takes a lot of practice, too. Or just eat it out of the can and pray that the apocalypse doesn't come again two years later and render canned food inedible. Nuclear weapons wouldn't. Not if they were in your bunker 500 feet into the Earth. They could set up a great society there, and they could stay hidden for 500 years, letting their "rugged individualism" and "general godliness that leads to innovation" do the trick for them.

Well, except bathrooms, running water, dentistry and medicine attention. But they are too determined and godly to need any of that! Wait, where are the ammunition factories? You are telling me there are no gun stores or things to shoot, either, in this bunker?

[Katashi_itto]

91. This is actually on DU? The Conservitive Cave?

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone has a problem with the cooking/baking group in the first place.

I mean do you all cook repressively or something?

[Aerows]

108. Of course we do.

Last edited Sun Jul 28, 2013, 05:10 PM - Edit history (1)

We allow ingredients to be combined as long as they aren't endangered species on the grill, don't cause chemical explosions when combined, and generally make a meal that doesn't give you botulism or other debilitating illness because of said recipe/cooking/meal advice.

Oh, and we use foreign words. Forgot that one.

[Katashi_itto]

149. Foreign words?...damn...NSA is likely watching you subversives

[Aerows]

159. I probably

am on the no-fly list for a recipe to do with butter beans. Now mind you, I hate them, by my elderly folk around me love them



We are the most dangerous group on DU for our recipes for mass indigestion (or just because we cook great things)

[CTyankee]

148. oh, good lord, what next? This is ridiculous!

Have the repukes lost their minds entirely and now have to invade a cooking and baking group?

I haven't been there for some time but can you explain what the basis for their complaint IS?

I really don't get this...

[Aerows]

184. Me neither.

I will repeatedly say it, that if you have to make political a cooking and baking group, you have lost your marbles.

[CTyankee]

198. My guess is that it is too "foreign." Too elite. Too French. Too exotic.

The RW is notoriously xenophobic...

speaking of which, did you see the recent thread on passports? Innocent, it was, really the OP was talking about how nice U.S. passports looked, with their artistic renderings of high points of U.S. history. The OP was immediately accused by a troll of bragging about all the foreign travel he/she must be doing. geez...

[kentauros]

199. They "monitor" all of DU, every group and forum.

When they find something truly mock-worthy, they pounce, or at least, "mock-worthy" to their guano-minds.

There was a thread on old DU somewhere when we were talking in C&B about cast iron pan care, and it turned into a sarcastic and fun free-for-all of all the techniques one should not do to cast iron pans, as if we were seriously using them. The cavities took us dead-serious, and had a whole thread of mocking and laughing at us for our stupidity. Talk about dense! Then again, they're in a dank, dark cave, while we have an underground!

[KamaAina]

185. The Site That Shall Not Be Named (until now)

is a website devoted solely to DU-bashing. Kind of like Meta on meth.

[Le Taz Hot]

92. OK, I Have to ask.

WTF is a "conservative cave member?" Anything like a "Paulbot" or "I Want My Pony Liberal?" I mean, you guys make up this shit in your heads all the time and I'm just curious as to whether this is something real or another product of The Collective's imagination.

The Cooking and Baking Group? Seriously?

[LuvNewcastle]

95. I think it's a website, Taz.

They look at DU and find things to make fun of, I hear. I guess it's a bunch of teenagers or college students.

[Le Taz Hot]

96. Thanks, love.

It's impossible to keep up anymore.

[Aerows]

113. I know how it is confusing how one group can be a basher ON THE SITE and another can be a basher OFF

THE site. But we have people that apparently lurk in our recipe site to ridicule members of DU that frequent it, period, but particularly if you frequent GD. Cooking and Baking is another place where they troll since our recipes for dinner are obviously subversive, anti-American and liberal.

[Capn Sunshine]

144. moreover

WHY would anyone bother reading a post from a place called "Conservative Cave"? I've been active online for years, and I've never heard of the place.

Do you realize the effort involved in searching it out just to read posts that mock your efforts in "Cooking and Baking"? Says a lot about the OP. No offense intended. This is an internet forum, not your local neighborhood coffee house.

There's a difference between online and real life. (for the most part)

[Aerows]

186. You think mocking people's hobbies

is a polite and pleasant recreation?

[elehhhhna]

3. tell them to fuck off

seriously


if they're judgy enough they'll prolly be offended to the point of leaving.




this is a proven method, btw

[woodsprite]

133. In the Cooking forum maybe that should say "fork off".

[hobbit709]

4. It's what you expect from a bunch of losers.

Conservative cave is for people too stupid for free republic.

[Aerows]

37. Apparently

they are so lonely they need to hang out in C&B and diss recipes that are posted. How in the hell does that happen to a person?

[Change has come]

178. They know they've lost

Recipe bashing is all they have left

[Aerows]

189. I guess

you cling to what you do best.

[cordelia]

104. Now, THAT is pathetic. n/t

[etherealtruth]

5. Seriously ... ?

[Aerows]

60. Yes. I feel sorry for them

They actually take time out of their day to troll the DU cooking and baking forum looking for something to insult.

[Douglas Carpenter]

6. that is crude. I can't even imagine such a mindset

[Douglas Carpenter]

7. I didn't even realize to now there was such a group here on DU

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1157

A few years back I was into cooking and baking in a real, real big way - but as things in my life suddenly shifted gears - I ceased giving it the thought that is necessary to be good at it. One of these days I will have to get into it again. I'm glad there is a forum right here on DU that can help people who are approaching cooking and baking seriously.

"Until I discovered cooking, I was never really interested in anything." -- Julia Child

[Whisp]

22. It's a great place.

The Heretic showed us a recipe for real French Onion Soup. I made it one weekend and it was so awesome fantastic, everyone oooo'd and aaaaaaa'hd.

I don't know or care whether his politics and mine are attuned. He gave me a gift to share with others. oooooo, aaaaaaah.

[A HERETIC I AM]

24. :::::Perk?!?::::::

Someone say my name?




Glad it worked out well for you!


Just to toot my horn, here's the link to the thread;


http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1157&pid=21425

[Whisp]

26. Make Soup, Not War. :)

[Electric Monk]

78. Oh my, that looks really yummy. I'll have to try making it sometime. Thanks for the link :) nt

[Aerows]

131. It's OMG delicious

if you follow it.

[Aerows]

128. Your French Onion Soup

recipe is to die for. Thank you for posting it then, and I've made it a time or two, myself You make killer soups

[A HERETIC I AM]

129. That is VERY kind of you to say.

I really appreciate the compliment.

[Aerows]

130. Not even a compliment

Just a fact. LUSCIOUS.

[A HERETIC I AM]

132. Well, I've been thinking of the next big project

And I'm leaning toward bouillabaisse. I just need to catch up on the bills and find a spare Sunday!

[monmouth3]

93. Meat Loaf. My old recipe has become boring and I need a new Meat Loaf recipe. To hell with

conservative cavers, Meat Loaf is the best, hot/cold, on rye bread.

[Whisp]

103. I like Meatloaf too but sometimes it's not so great when it's overdone, like this one:

[A HERETIC I AM]

135. One of the simplest "kicks" to meatloaf I've found...

Is to add one or two mild Italian sausages to your mix.

I use 50/50 ground beef and pork. Add to that 2 mild Italian sausages that you have removed the casing from.

Try adding a few extra herbs and spices you might not think of adding normally like sage and cumin or even lemon zest. I like sage and have had good results with a meatloaf heavy on sage and ground Rosemary.

Play! Make two or 3 little ones, changing the spice palate between them.

[monmouth3]

139. Sounds wonderful. Many thanks, I will make it this week...n/t

[Skittles]

8. you want I should kick some cooking & baking-bashing ass, Aerows?

LEMME AT THEM!!!

[Aerows]

39. It's almost so sad

that I wish you give them a kick in the ass with maybe some extra flour and cheese. Just because I'm nice like that.

[cliffordu]

77. Bring back some biscuits and gravy, will ya?

[Aerows]

123. I'll make some bacon

when Skittles comes back

[TheProgressive]

9. You know... food, cooking, recipes...

...are as ancient as humans....

Truly, probably the first 'profession'.... the cook.....

[awoke_in_2003]

10. This happens? nt

[Aerows]

40. Yes

There is an entire website dedicated to bashing DU, including it's cooking and baking forum. I know.

[awoke_in_2003]

44. Does said site have a tree in the name? nt

[Aerows]

47. No, it isn't the elm tree site

it's some Conservative Cave, which I assume is their basement if all they have to do with their time is bash people discussing recipes.

[UTUSN]

11. I *hate* when that happens!1 nt

[ManiacJoe]

12. Sounds like the forum hosts are asleep at the wheel.

[Lucinda]

68. I don't drive.

[Violet_Crumble]

89. No, we're not. We discussed this and it's not whining about DU n/t

[grantcart]

105. The OP isn't complaining about DUers, he/she is complaining about Conservative Cave folks that have

made it a sport to create problems here.

So the hosts let it stand.

[Aerows]

115. Precisely, Grantcart, thank you n/t

[struggle4progress]

13. I was once actually banned from that forum. It's a constant vicious food-fight in there!

All right-thinking DUers avoid cooking and baking!

[Katashi_itto]

14. Long Pig!

[Aerows]

51. LOL!

Quite right!

[Kingofalldems]

15. We need META back so we can discuss these things

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. I once spent the night at the home of an O'Reilly fan in 2004....

He came in to the kitchen to find me cooking and his wife and kids seated at the table enjoying French Toast.

[zeemike]

18. OMG, French toast?

You really know how to hurt them don't you?...trying to corrupt his whole famly.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. What's great was his wife and kids accused him of starting things that morning....

[zeemike]

21. As I suspected.

French toast is a corrupting influence on the right wingers.
Kind of like Kriptonite to Supperman...

[pinboy3niner]

32. The batards!

[Aerows]

48. No one shall have the recipe

for my potatoes. It is top secret!

You will never enjoy one, I will ensure it!!!!1

[Spitfire of ATJ]

88. Ya start with leftover freedom fries.

[Aerows]

124. No I don't

and don't give me any flack that I start with the Irish ones, either. They are American potatoes once I get through with them!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

125. Spudly DoRight?

[Aerows]

134. Grim Tater.

Okay, no, but pretty spectacular with butter and sour cream!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

136. That doesn't chive with me.

[Aerows]

138. Get cheddar here

and go back to your shroom. .

[Spitfire of ATJ]

147. Drats! Foiled again!

[Aerows]

150. Sage advice could have

soured the rye-dea

[Spitfire of ATJ]

162. Now you're just trying to butter me up.

[pinboy3niner]

165. Don't look now, but you're being...

...marinated.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

179. I can han-dill it.

[Aerows]

190. It was a spud. I punted it. :D

:high kick:

[adirondacker]

57. You could of served him up a side of Eggs Benedict with extra Hollandaise sauce.

That's a funny story!

[Freddie]

98. You mean Freedom Toast?

[Apophis]

17. Anyone who puts Miracle Whip in turkey salad is an obvious republican!

Actually, I have no idea what you're talking about, but yes, that sounds sad and pathetic.

[zeemike]

20. How about tuna salad?

Does that make you a Paulbot?...I hope not because I use it in tuna salad, but I will quit is you say so.

[dem in texas]

30. Hellman's Mayonnaise

Use Hellman's Mayonnaise. You are not a true Southerner unless you use Hellman's. Don't make pimento cheese without it.

[zeemike]

54. Now I have to go find out how to make pimento cheese.

My ignorance just keeps piling up...

[Chan790]

70. I refuse to have Hellmans in my house.

It reminds me of a sign I saw once in a fancy white-table-cloth authentic Japanese restaurant:

"We make our own shoyu. Even if we didn't, we'd never serve you Kikkoman because we like you too much to feed you inferior soy sauce." (Apparently they had people coming in and asking for soy sauce then complaining that it didn't taste like the plastic envelope crap they were used to.)

That's how I feel about mass-produced mayo. I make my own or if I'm in a hurry, I use full-fat Duke's because it tastes the most like my own.

[daleanime]

81. Kikkoman is bad soy?

[Chan790]

94. To people that make their own artisanal shoyu and tamari?

Yeah. I mean it's not terrible, but it's not really the genuine artifact and it tastes different: blander, saltier.

The sign was kind of food-snobby and snotty to be honest, but gourmands and chefs that are really into food quality and authenticity should be a little snobbish and snotty about these things.

I am that way about mayonnaise. There is no such thing as mass-produced mayo that tastes as good as the fresh genuine article.

[Aerows]

122. See how divisive discussions on cooking can be?

Just about everyone gets insulted. LMFAO

[LuvNewcastle]

97. Actually, I was raised eating Blue Plate.

Now I buy what's on sale, like proper poor white trash.

[Aerows]

112. I wouldn't eat a pimento cheese sandwich if my life depended on it

but at least I use Hellman's for my tuna sandwiches. But I *gasp* toast them and put cheese on them, too.

[Aerows]

49. :sigh: If you use Miracle Whip in Tuna Salad

*that* means you have too many boxes in your garage. If you use Hellmann's and whip it properly, you get along with your neighbors and pet their dogs.

[zeemike]

52. Well I am learning a lot from the cooking group..

And I was wondering where all those boxes came from...and the neighbors dog tried to bite me.

[Aerows]

53. LMFAO

We're a rough bunch with our heirloom tomatoes, our sour cream and our cast iron pans.

[onyourleft]

87. I beg...

...your pardon.

[pinboy3niner]

23. To be fair, Cooking & Baking posters are the wurst!

[Whisp]

27. and they're bratts. ;)

[pinboy3niner]

29. And rumor has it they may even have links to Weiner

Carlos Danger, Will Robinson!

[Whisp]

34. lol!

ow.

:groan:

[A HERETIC I AM]

38. You're just trying to get a rise out of those of use who bake on occasion.....

and looking to whisk up a bit of trouble for us as well.

It's as clear as broth what you are trying to do.

Attempting to cream reputations, to beat us to soft peaks, to sear with your wit.

It'll never wok. We saute you coming from a mile away.


Time for bed.

[pinboy3niner]

45. Eggzactly

I may knead a stealthier approach. You've got my number for schirr. I'm just here to post flambébait.

And your soufflé fell for it.

[Aerows]

50. You've bean at this for years

Now is not the thyme to tell us you are innocent.

[pinboy3niner]

61. Understand that I don't clam to be purée as the driven snow, peas

And I think you're just being parsleymonious, Rosemary. I'm sure a marjoram of DU members are with me on that.

[Aerows]

63. You pepper your sqaush with gingery words

but I asparagus believe it!

Well, hell, that sounded good in my head before I said it.

[pinboy3niner]

71. No knead to mince your words here

You have mushroom for improvement. My skillet trolling C&B has upped me to the highest flourly rate.

[bitchkitty]

102. LOL n/t

[RavensChick]

66. LOL!

I had a feeling someone was gonna go there!

[NuclearDem]

168. Hey, leave them alone! They've been beaten, whipped, and shredded for too long.

[pinboy3niner]

169. It's okay...

They are gluttons for punishment.

[elleng]

31. I frequent the group, and haven't noticed it.

[pinboy3niner]

35. Hey, everybody! We have a new target! ^^^^^

[elleng]

41. Cute!

[Aerows]

121. LOL!

[longship]

33. I tried out that brownie recipe on my coworkers.

They all fell asleep and the boss was not at all amused for some reason.

Indeed, the cooking and baking group is a bad place.

[Dash87]

42. CC is a trolling community

The only purpose of the website is to troll DU. I feel more sorry for FR, because they're actually serious on that one.

When you let trolls get a rise out of you, the troll wins.

[Zorra]

156. I read somewhere that CC has a very prolific poster here, who has

been here since around the time Obama was first elected.

They respectfully call him "The Coach", if I remember correctly.

I thought I read it here on DU, but I can't find it now.

[Dash87]

157. Craig T. Nelson?

I bet it's total bs anyways. They know DUers read their website, and probably purposely post fake stuff to get a rise out of people.

[Aerows]

192. I remember that too

I wonder if we can figure out who that is.

[arely staircase]

43. i really must have missed something here so humor me

WTF are you talking about?

[grasswire]

58. conservative cave used to be unmentionable on DU

It's a site filled with misfits who troll DU and like to make trouble when they can. They even were involved in an incident that may have accelerated the death of one of our DU heroes, Andy Stephenson (a voting rights warrior). They interfered with a fundraising effort and the paypal funds were tied up and treatment was delayed. That is the most egregious of their known escapades. They have interfered in the lives of DU-ers where they could, and have driven some of our members off including our much-loved C&B member, Hippywife. If you really want to know more, it's all on the Internet.

[arely staircase]

80. so all this Machiavellian intrigue

is going on some cooking group here? you must give me a link.

[grasswire]

82. no, it doesn't happen here in the cooking group.

They lurk in the cooking group and then mostly these days just make asses of themselves on their own site, conservativecave.com. Although they HAVE occasionally crossed over to real life involvement (got a DU-er fired from her job for her comments on DU). They boast of having trolls and moles here. But there really is no discord in cooking and baking group.

[arely staircase]

83. i will check it out

most interesting, thanks

[liberal_at_heart]

85. there are people on here who actually interfere with people's lives?

That's not only shocking and sad, but scary too.

[Incitatus]

171. Indeed

There's no telling how far some of these psychos will go. Some of them go through DUers posts to try and find out who they are. People should be very careful about what personal information they post. Tossing in a little disinformation ( work, location, hobbies, etc) every now and then to throw them off also couldn't hurt.

[PoliticAverse]

46. First they came for arugula and I didn't speak out because I don't cook with arugula... n/t

[Boudica the Lyoness]

64. I have gotten into political fights on non polital forums

I have a somewhat rare progressive disease and frequent a forum for suffers of it. There had been a lot of members, over the years, who had lost or had never had healthcare. It was tearing me up. These people were desperate for help and didn't know where to turn. They had to make the choice of going bankrupt, maybe making their families homeless or not getting treatment.

Some republican members would give lectures to the uninsured, saying that they should have planned better and to sell their possessions and even pray. I jump in, guns a blazing. How the hell can you plan for a disabling disease? You can't work, then you lose your healthcare, can't get more insurance with a pre-existing condition (back then) and also the costs are out of control. Some people had been trying for years to get on disability and couldn't.....what happens to those people?

I can't stand to be on forums with these arseholes. I only go there because there are some sensible people and also it's a good place to find the latest research/treatments.

I always tell these right wingers that even though I have health insurance, I have empathy for those that don't. I always put a link to the UK's NHS web site. I have to calm down now, lol.

[hrmjustin]

65. The cave is full of people who were banned from DU and are pissed about it.

The ask one another is this your mole or is this your mole. Last week they asked who's mole was I because I defended someone here. Pay them no mind.

[LittleBlue]

67. There are actually people abusing members of a baking forum?

Seriously? What the...

[Aerows]

72. Apparently

cooking and baking is ripe for politics. Or something like that. I apparently said some outlandish thing that never crossed my mind about chickens drinking water and I became a star bash on that website just because of my affiliation with DU.

I still have no idea what the chicken and water thing is about.

[LittleBlue]

73. Chickens drinking water

Seriously business!

[Aerows]

74. If there is something about it

I still don't know it. Is there something that is vulgar? I honestly have no recollection. I think I was confused with another poster, to be honest.

[pinboy3niner]

79. Chickens drinking water???!!!

Whatever possessed you to post something so outrageous?

[Aerows]

137. Well, I'm thinking more along the lines of

[RavensChick]

69. Wow.

How low will people go these days?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll avoid that thread like the plague!

[LadyHawkAZ]

75. It's the Mom'sbasement Cave. The high point of their day is hanging around DU

and calling Jake from State Farm. Just ignore them, they're not worth the energy.

[Niceguy1]

76. every girl that I have dated

Thought jt was sexy that I can cook and bake.

Haters gonna hate.

[Raine]

90. There is a name for people like that ... LOSERS! nt

[Major Hogwash]

99. Well, you know what they say about the cooking and baking forum . . .

. . . if you can't take the heat, stay out of the cooking and baking forum!!

DU went downhill a long time ago during the pasta/anti-pasta war in that section of the DU forum.
It's no longer safe to handle hot cross buns without wearing oven mitts, and therefore it is no longer safe to give out really old family recipes just because your grandmother was the one that came up with the idea of Twinkies over 15 years before Hostess was even a frickin' company!!

That's the way it was, and that's the way it is always going to be.

100. Some people get downright testy about the proper way to prepare Coq au Vin.

I'm more the Graham Kerr type (from the Galloping Gourmet days) when he'd finish off each segment with a short slurp and was usually nicely marinated by the end of the show.

[LaydeeBug]

101. I am active in that forum...what cave? nt

[Aerows]

106. Just nutjobs. n/t

[sufrommich]

110. Conservative Cave: They actually write and read fanfic

about DU. I try to imagine how much more pathetically obsessed one could become in regards to an internet forum,I don't think anything beats fanfic.

[msanthrope]

114. And they follow C&B obsessively..to the point where they get upset over tuna fish

recipes.

[Aerows]

118. That was kind of funny

I liked it.

[msanthrope]

119. This is all very new to me...check out the c&b thread for my baccala experience. nt

[Aerows]

116. Interesting.

I'll have to read their fanfic. Got a link?


That was a very interesting observation, sufrommich.

[nadinbrzezinski]

126. Read any dossiers they have written on us

[Aerows]

140. I'm rather excited now to learn that I have a dossier

That seems delightful.

Like there is someone to sue. . I'm jolly that way.

[nadinbrzezinski]

143. They are just funny

[RedCappedBandit]

111. rofl. they must lead very exciting lives. nt

[HappyMe]

117. Eh, who cares.

Resorting to C&B bashing is kind of sad. Fuck 'em. They're just trolls with some moles here.

[Aerows]

195. Did you reply?

I like you, but I must point out that you replied.

Have a seat. I'm sure we'll be here for a while, but it's a safe place.

[HappyMe]

197. Um.....replied where?

I haven't had enough coffee yet....

[backscatter712]

120. Ah, the Cavers are at work...

[Aerows]

141. *My Eyes* *My Eyes*

I'm blinded!

[Butterbean]

145. Bless their hearts. LOL. I'm sorry, but I just find that hilarious.

Trolling a baking forum.........wow. You have to just marvel at the stunted emotional maturity of such individuals.

[Curmudgeoness]

146. I always thought that "cooking and baking" was code

for something nefarious. Seems that I am not alone. I guess that people who are more interested in foods that are in cans and will last 100 years are not that impressed with gourmets.

As long as they leave the Pets group alone!

But I have to ask, how did you know "they" are attacking the cooking and baking group?

[nadinbrzezinski]

151. I object to the term gourmet

I prefer foodie myself

And talking of the pet forum, I got a couple conures who love coq au vin, as long as it's nobody they know. Foodie birds

[pinboy3niner]

153. "...as long as it's nobody they know."

[nadinbrzezinski]

154. True story with cookie

He was being a real pest...conures can. I brought a small cooked chicken from the store...Tom showed it to the bird, "anybody you know?"

He started to back away fast, tripping over his tail feathers. It was funny.

And for real they eat chicken, eggs, meat, they even accept fish. They eat fruits and veggies as well. Connie even begs for milk.

I joke, they eat more balanced diet than my nephews! Avocado and chocolate is not on the menu though, it could kill them.

[Curmudgeoness]

161. When I had my macaw, her favorite foods

were mashed potatoes and spaghetti. She could certainly make a mess with those two foods!

[nadinbrzezinski]

164. Fliiiingggg!!!!

Absolutely. They are cute, full of personality, but messy.

Cookie's favorite is red meat, prefers filet. No, not kidding when I say he's a foodie

[pinboy3niner]

172. Sounds like your bird's a real conuresseur

[nadinbrzezinski]

174. He is, you can't get him to eat tofu

The other one likes it.

And he was so picky he woud not eat anything but seeds. He almost died of starvation.

When we do filet...he does a happy dance.

[pinboy3niner]

175. A bird after my own heart

I do a happy dance when I have filet...

[nadinbrzezinski]

176. We just have to watch it

I don't want the little guy to die from a heart attack. They can get high cholesterol,too...he loves broccoli by the way

[Curmudgeoness]

191. Prefers filet----who doesn't? nt

[Aerows]

152. WMD

I can't be specific, but collard greens and beans can be WMD. Weapons of Mass Disgustion. Silent, deadly and, well you know, I'm not at liberty to discuss such things.

[nadinbrzezinski]

155. Pass the bread...I guarantee

You will not like the results...for that matter me.

[Aerows]

158. Chili with Onions

I'll leave it to the rest

[nadinbrzezinski]

160. I got a gluten allergy from hell

Last edited Sun Jul 28, 2013, 10:45 PM - Edit history (1)

Trust me...makes chili and onions smell like roses...WMD level indeed.

For real I bake Tom's bread. He has his baking sheet.

[Curmudgeoness]

163. No need to elaborate. Really.

There are times that I am truly grateful I live alone.

[NuclearDem]

170. Ah, the cave.

Those spelunkheads.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

177. I make special NO tomato NO bellpepper meatloaf.

With wonderful sautéed onions.

Anybody interested?

[pinboy3niner]

180. "Hold the tomato, hold the bellpeppers, special orders don't upseppers..."

Still needs some work.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

182. Back to the old synth keyboard......

I have a Kurz, BTW........


(www.kurzweil.com)

I'm allergic to tomatoes and pepper of any kind. Too damned acid and spicy.

[dem in texas]

181. DU Cooks Unite!

Let's get out the roasting forks, the chopping knives and cast iron skillets and go after the Conservative Cave bunch, how dare they make fun of Democratic cooks!

[Electric Monk]

183. Cooking is fun, and serves a usefull comunal purpose as well. Everyone likes to eat well :)

[KamaAina]

187. I have a nickname over there! I'm "The Anal Camel Primitive".

"primitive" = DUer, and "anal camel" is some bizarro distortion of "KamaAina", I guess.

You can find out if you're famous over there, too. Just search for yourself using DU's search function, then replace "site:democraticunderground.com" on the results page with their site name and do the search again. Hours of family fun!

[pinboy3niner]

188. I haven't been back to C&B since I forgot my 'safe word'

[Aerows]

193. I think it was "meringue"

But I wasn't supervising that part of the forum that night. I came back and found a bunch of slices of lemon, tomato, and a haunch of something that could only be a portion of a cow coated in egg and butter then scandalously baked.

It was the posterior end. I didn't ask, I just left before the police could get there for questioning.

[pinboy3niner]

194. That was a rough night...Lord knows WHAT it entrailed.

[Aerows]

196. Chittlin's gonna get you

if the Tripe don't catch you climbing in the window.
