Most here seem to live in a home which is designed so they can use the
cooker in summer without discomfort; and in winter, they don't need to
turn on the cooker to keep warm.

Just saying.

You are nit picking. Simmering something on a stovetop for hours is
best done on cold winter days. I like the nice smell on a cozy day
indoors when it's cold out. Same with long oven cooking. Once the food
is cooked, you can leave the oven door open to cool and let all the
heat out.

To pervent extra heat indoors during hot spells, crockpots and outdoor
grills are good alternatives.

I'll cook most meals the same winter or summer but there are a few
things that I tend to do with the season.

I'm not knocking people who make casseroles and soups and stews
etc all year around.

But I have no problem understanding the sentiment behind
Soup weather.

The first fall-like day, I suddenly crave pot roast. Then soups
and baked chicken and all things long cooked or roasted.

Of course I can make those things in the summer. I don't want
to. I'm not in the mood for that kind of food. I'm all about
tomatoes and burgers and steak on the grill once in a while.
Salads.

Perhaps I would adjust if I lived in a climate where it never
got cold, then I imagine I'd want pot roast at some point, weather
aside.

I'm not judgy about people who make soup all year around, so I'm
pretty sure no one needs to knock the millions of people who do
have a change in tastes during the seasons. Who cares.

Probably a lot of the tradition behind what is cooked during summer
vs. winter has to do with the foods that are available during specific
seasons. Butchering and garden harvesting would have had a huge
impact.

As well as the amount of time a person had to do the cooking for the day.
Harvest, canning, smoking, etc. all took time, but not in the winter.

A cooker in GB is a freakin' cookstove, range or whatever you cook on in the kitchen. You must have
lived a sheltered life.

GB? What's GB? I have something called a stove. My stove has an oven in
it. And no, I didn't lead a sheltered life but we have nothing in this
country called a cooker.

Contrary to popular belief, Usenet is international, and this country
isn't the entire world.

I've seen Brits refer to "cookers" before, here on RFC. Apparently the
word has been used in that context since 1884.

Quite Yes, we call them cookers I also refer to my oven and my hob,
but they are all a 'cooker')

Hob is the one that catches me askance for a moment.

Okay. I do remember a woman on some show referring to a cooker. She was
standing in the kitchen and I had no clue what in there was the cooker. But
it is in no way a commonly used or even ever used word here!

Oh please. Most people can figure out what a "cooker" is. Oven, stove,
it's an appliance. I don't own an Aga but I know what one is, oh so
well-read person.

Yet despite not being a word used here, you couldn't figure it out on your
own?!

Why do you find it necessary to call names? I have never heard it referred
to as that before. Not that I go around referring to it or listening to
others refer to it. I do have one friend who is from England. She lives
here now. Didn't like it there and doesn't much ever refer to it.

It's a kitchen stove, Julie. A cooker is what real cooks cook on.

Surely a " published writer ", who has spent years reading
international cookery groups, should have picked up a few common terms
by now?

Failing which, since you say you're "not stupid", you could just work
it out from the context.

You are talking to a person who claimed to be a writer, claimed not to
be a writer, claimed to never have said she was a writer and claimed not
to remember having said she was a writer, and who, when she was still
claiming to be a writer, did not know the meaning of "ignorant" and did
not think it was important for a writer to know the meaning.

She says she is not stupid, but her comments tell us otherwise.

Oh! Oh! Now you've done it. The Anti-everything police will be down on you for criticizing Julie...evil little trolls that they are.

What can I saw. People keep replying to her so I have the choice of
filtering all of them or be exposed to her lies and idiocy. The thing
is, she did say that she was a writer. She did say that she was not a
writer. When confronted with quotes from her posts where she said she
was a writer she said she did not remember saying that she was a writer.
When called "ignorant" she said that she didn't know what that meant,
and when it was suggested that a writer should know the meaning of a
word that is common knowledge to most people, she said she didn't think
that writers needed to know it.

If her sycophants feel a need to defend her that can try to deny the
truth of what I have written. Julie thinks that denial is a form of
rebuttal, so they can try to do the same.

Just because something's not in your killfile, doesn't mean you're
obliged to read it.

Just like I don't read the following:

'Dave' feels Usenet should be run in exactly the way he prefers ie not
allowing others of whom he disapproves to post at all.

He is like a small child having tantrums because he is not getting his own
way. Most unattractive in a grown man!

He is obviously incapable of *not* reading something in front of him.

What I had published was in relationship to Astrology and also some poetry.
I did win a contest for my Haiku about Baklava. But other than that, not
much that I wrote had anything to do with cooking or cookery or whatever you
want to call it.

Yes, I wrote things in the past and yes I was published. I have been
writing Haiku again too. No, I will not post it here. I am writing stuff
for fun. Not to get published.

That is not a common term here and neither is cookery.

Nobody in this country says they are using the cooker or doing cookery. To
me, the words sound comical. Might be common there but certainly not here.

After all this time on usenet how can you, Julie, fail to grasp the
international flavors here? I've learned all kinds of new words and
have read about all kinds of cooking methods that "aren't common here"
(here being where I live: the US) and have had very little difficulty
sussing out their meaning. Same thing for novels written by non-US
authors. Just kick those brain cells into gear.

I rarely ever read novels. And while there are people from other countries
here, I don't always read their posts or have an interest in what they are
cooking. Just because you know and do some things doesn't mean that I do.
Like Jill, you and I seem to have nothing at all in common. Nothing.

It seems as if Bothell is covered by a giant bubble. Hey, you used the
word 'sussing' and I understood exactly what you meant.
