However, this silly bitch just doesn't deserve that kind of consideration from me. She denies spoiling her daughter. But goes out in foul weather to buy knitting needles ? All the while, whining endlessly about driving conditions. She feeds an overweight gal french fries and I'm sure buys her precious darling other unhealthy treats. Her callous disregard and obvious disdain for any constructive suggestions should be a clue to all as to the sort of person she is, and the attitudes she espouses. Most of us have or have had health problems, and yet do not feel the need to burden newsgroups with totally unrelated / off topic crap about our personal lives. Yet - not a day goes by without some half wit post or posts from this silly article. Still, some people seem to dote on her as though she were a damaged child, and not a selfish, if clueless adult. I have her filtered, to avoid wasting time and space on her vapid drivel. And I agree, she needs professional, mental counseling. |

Mangia! > Your forgot the crapload of garlic and fresh parsley! Since I was responding to Evelyn's use of canned clams, I didn't mention the "crapload" of garlic. Here's my complete recipe: Linguini Vongole Bianca (White Clam Sauce) Serves 4 3/4 cup of EVOO 4 to 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley or 1Tbs dried 1Tbs chopped fresh basil leaves or 2 tsp dried 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves or ½ tsp dried A large pinch of dried oregano ground white or black pepper to taste 1-1/2 Dozen Cherrystone Clams shelled and chopped with juices reserved [see NOTE below] 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional) 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup dry Marsala or white wine 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano cheese 1 pound of linguini 1. Heat olive oil in large saute pan over medium heat. 2. Add garlic, cook until lightly browned. Add mushrooms, cook 'til soft. Stir in parsley, basil, thyme, oregano and pepper. [see NOTE below] 3. Add Clams with their juices, bring to a boil then lower heat to a simmer and cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in whipping cream and wine; heat through, stirring occasionally. 4. While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 Tbs of salt, two Tbs EVOO and the linguini. 5. Cook uncovered over high heat until Al dente. 6. Drain pasta, put back in pot add some butter and some of the sauce to the pot and mix it up. 7. Dish out pasta spooning remaining sauce over top. Garnish with chopped parsley and grated cheese. NOTE: Clams were $6 a pound. I bought 1-1/2 pounds, which turned out to be eight Little Necks. I let the Little Necks relax in one litre of cold water with 7-1/2 tsp coarse Kosher salt (simulated seawater) for about 1/2 hour, then scrubbed them with a coarse brush. I also bought a can of chopped clams in clam juice (next time I'll buy two, maybe three) and a bottle of clam juice. When the mushrooms were done, I added 1/2 cup of Pinot Grigio, turned the heat up, put in the whole clams, covered and steamed 'til they popped open. I removed them and proceeded as above, adding 1/2 cup of additional clam juice and slightly reducing the sauce. Next time I'll reduce the sauce more. Served with grated cheese and a couple of whole clams on top, plus a couple of glasses of vino. Everyone's happy! RSVPN -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families!

Venting because you have failed to manage your life properly does not fit on a food group. Why doesn't she haul her mess to an appropriate forum ? > >> Most of us have or have had health problems, and yet do not feel the need >> to burden newsgroups with totally unrelated / off topic crap about our >> personal lives.

We are more > than just diabetics, we're people who sometimes need an ear. I understand completely. I've filtered her because I don't choose to provide an ear for someone who clearly refuses ALL offers of valid advice from people who care. > > Filtering somebody beats the Heck out of beating up on a long time > poster IMO. > > > Cheri I was warned that she had staunch defenders at the other group, but didn't know the undeserved 'sheltering' covered all the groups she mucks in on. From me - people get what they earn. Good or bad. That one needs to be hit with a two by four until she manages to get some sense...................if that's even possible this late in life. |

Exactly. And, I would add, there are really very few circumstances in which a public plonking is warranted. This isn't one of them. Newsgroups are virtual communities, and, as such, have their evolved cultures. As long as there is Usenet (and who knows how long that will be), these cultures will be part of the landscape. That's why it used to be recommended that newcomers lurk for a while, to try to understand the culture they're coming into. The purpose of any newsgroup is what its participants make of it. -- "[xxx] has very definite opinions, and does not suffer fools lightly. This, apparently, upsets the fools." ---BB cuts to the pith of a flame-fest |

Yeah, well, I shall be taking a break from the newsgroups for a while. If not a long while. Serves no purpose whatever for my being here now. At least you've never been mean to me. And a few others... |

So it's okay for you to say you can't eat garlic. Or the other person with the egg allergy to say she can't eat eggs. But it's not okay for me to say such things. Guess you wouldn't like any of my family then because they all have either food allergies or strong dislikes for things. And that's both sides of the family. Both mine and my husband's. When I cook for them, I try very hard to make dishes they can all eat. > > People have commented that you seemed depressed. This was never meant in > a mean way at all.

We here, are then placed in the position of being > constantly rebuffed by you! Well, what do you expect me to say when people are suggesting that I eat food that I'm allergic to. Oh sure! I'll try that recipe. And then I'll go to the Dr. for a sinus infection that I got after eating it. I don't care what you eat or how you cook your food or store your food or whatever. But just because I don't choose to do the same doesn't make me wrong! > > You refer to making a nice soup with healthy fresh ingredients as > "touching a dead animal" when we are a newsgroup made up of diabetics, who > really MUST eat more protein than carbohydrates. Does this not seem ever > so slightly inconsiderate to you? Well, I don't fit into that category. I do *not* eat more protein, nor am I supposed to. Does that not seem slightly incondiserate to you to expecct me to be the same? I am on a very strict diet and yes because of diabetes complications. > > I say this in all kindness, that you might want to think about just not > saying anything if you can't say something positive.

Never has been and never will. I was raised to speak my mind. I do not listen to political opinions. I don't like politics at all. I also do not try to keep the peace. I don't think that's my lot in life. Neither do I want to be a trouble maker. > > I know you have a lot of challenges in life, and you have suffered illness > from your diabetes, and many peoples hearts, including mine, go out to you > for it.

Or can it be > that you have a negative reaction to anyones advice? Or is it both? I didn't say anyone was an idiot. Nor did I ask for an opinion or a suggestion. I generally do not want advice from anyone, ever. That was also the way I was raised. Yes, I might ask a question from time to time. Like when I asked what people made in the crock-pot? In that case, I am again not asking for advice but just asking what they use it for. I recently learned I can use it to make rice. Not that people here will be eating rice, but I do have a family that I cook for. > > I really don't know what it is. I know you are a nice person, and I know > you like to write.

I don't know why people here seem to think I should be all sunshine lollipops and roses. That's just not me. Never will be. Anyway... I'm out of here. I don't need this crap as an additional source of stress to my already stressed life. *poof* |

It was supposed to hit a nerve and make you think. So it hit the nerve but you refuse to think. So you will go away rather than face it? Rationalize it away, and go away too, if you must, but you have been told the truth, Julie. I am apparently not the only one who thinks that you are on a wrong path, not only with food, but with your daughter, and your attitude towards food. You are making your child as neurotic about food as you are. This is NOT an insult, it is a wake up call. There are LOTS of foods I don't like and foods I don't eat, but I don't feel a burning need to bust other peoples chops telling them how "disgusting" those foods are. Notice how FEW other people here go into such tirades about foods they don't like? They just ignore it when people talk about things they don't like. You aren't ready to face the fact that you aren't making any sense. If you won't eat your own fresh cooking a day later, yet you will eat some nasty frozen overpriced chicken nuggets that who knows who cooked them and who knows WHEN they were cooked..... well that's plain crazy. If you don't like previously frozen food and you won't touch dead animal meat.......well all I can say is that it is no wonder you are suffering from so many ailments. Chicken nuggets are not only frozen, but they are not healthy food, and I don't care how organic they say they are. You won't believe this, but you really need to consider eating lower carbohydrates, Julie. All the studies say that diabetics do better on higher protein and lower carbs. You already are suffering all sorts of complications. What are you thinking? Do you want your daughter to lose her mother too young because she didn't LIKE to eat right? And by the way, the word SUPPORT is not in this newsgroup. This is a FOOD newsgroup. With all your dislikes you need to consider that. But even if SUPPORT is not in the name of this newsgroup, SUPPORT doesn't always come in a nice package. It sometimes means that people care enough to tell you the truth, whether you LIKE what they say or not. -- -- Best Regards, Evelyn Rest in a sky-like mind. Sit like a mountain floating on the earth.

People don't "intervene" with those they don't care about. Think about it. Julie, I'm sorry you took offense at my posting but you were writing about taking your daughter out to eat IIRC, twice in a week. With all that you have written about the special food requirements of yourself and your daughter, I could not help but react to your feeding her restaurant food, which, we all know, is filled with mystery ingredients. Think about it. |

I don't think for one minute that she went away mad over *your* post Evelyn, I would imagine that it was being called a bitch and the insinuation that she's a bad mother because she doesn't prepare her food the way some others do that upset her. FWIW, I thought your post was compassionate and kind. Julie will be back, and sometimes it's good to get away from the groups for awhile anyway. :-) Cheri |

IMHO Julie did get what you and others were saying and didn't wan to to admit it to herself or us and didn't want to deal with it. A little time-out might be good for her. I hope she comes back, even though I bit my tongue many times over her. -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families!

Back in the 50's, me and my kid brother used to go to City Island, NY, and get a couple of buckets of steamers. Always with butter and lemon! -- Nick.

It's difficult to tailor the message so that it's accepted by the intended recipient. I think Evelyn and many others did their best. I thought Evelyn's post was made with what is called Metta Caruna in Pali. Compassion and Loving-Kindness. -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families!
