Next thing B-D will do is to tell Muffti and Kelsey to get married and have a family, then CK will jump in to ensure that a) Muffti will intramarry, and b) Kelsey will have his sons circumcised.

The "hawks" you are referring to aren't exactly preaching "manifest destiny" expansionism. They're talking rational self-defense. Which goes with marriage, family, and nurturing quite naturally. As opposed to the self-interested libertarianism affected by many of us when we are young and unattached. What’s the problem?

You learn something every day, I guess. I am not a "hawk" by choice. I just think that of all of the bad choices Israel has, the only sensible way is to defend itself.

Friends / relatives that have told me it took them years to restore their sense of taste again. Alcohol numbs the taste buds, that's why real gourmets have water with their meals. (Greasy foods "cover" the taste buds, and it was found out that even distinguished sommeliers couldn't tell a cheap from a top-notch wine after having eaten cheese. Figure that.)

Saffron is used for colour in recipes over here. (In the past, they would add saffron to cakes to make the dough more yellow to make it appear the dough contained a luxurious amount of egg yolks.) It has a slightly bitter taste if you use it in large enough quantities (most recipes require half a gramme, so that's barely noticeable), but so does curcuma. Vicki, definitely get a wok. It's so much fun and also quick. I got a WMF one. Get a bowl like one with a rack you can remove, not a stepped one. Mine is double-walled, so it stores the heat without the stuff getting burnt, but the handles don't get hot.

It imparts a beautiful color, true, but its subtle and distinctive flavor is what makes it so good. You can't really make a proper <i>Arroz con Pollo</i> without it. Paprika and/or turmeric could give you a similar-looking color, but it just wouldn't be the same. Saffron isn’t just for color.
