Peanut Butter:
Do you like it Smooth or Chunky?
Do you like to spread it thick or thin?
Posted by: bayridgegirl at March 26, 2009 9:16 AM
chunky, spread thin :)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 9:18 AM
My mom used to put peanutbutter on Shredded Wheat cereal. Dry as all hell and choke-inducing - yuck!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 9:19 AM
Now that I think about it, chunky and spread thin kind of describes me right now! LOL
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 9:20 AM
peanut butter is absolutely gross. it's the food that has the highest concentration of random insect parts and fecal matter in it. ICK!
*rob*
Posted by: PitbullNYC at March 26, 2009 9:21 AM
Chunky - spread thick with Nutella. Nutella is freakin awesome.
Posted by: dirty_hipster at March 26, 2009 9:21 AM
Well, Rob, you just killed PB for me! Besides, I thought fig newtons and hot dogs had the highest insect part count?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 9:23 AM
Mention of Poo: Check!
Next....cats anyone?
Posted by: bayridgegirl at March 26, 2009 9:23 AM
Rob - please provide supporting data for your claim that PB has fecal matter and/or insect parts
Thanks for your cooperation,
DH

DH, what a nice formal request :) You get the "B'Stoner Gentleman Award"!!!

Creamy. Spread thinly on both sides of the bread so the jelly doesn't soak into the bread.

Anyone want to discuss real estate today?
I posed a question in yesterday’s COTD thread.
http://www.brownstoner.com/brownstoner/archives/2009/03/coop_of_the_day_207.php
Two very similar apartments in different locations. How do you value them?

My cat likes peanut butter. Cats - CHECK!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 9:25 AM
Creamy...on white Wonder bread.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 9:28 AM
I'm sorry, chicken, but I know nothing about home pricing. Just when I think I've got a handle on what some type of property should go for, I get surprised by what neighboring properties end up selling for.

Don't mind the chicken. He's British and probably eats Nutella as well, or worse, Vegemite.

Dave, it came as no surprise to me that you liked it 'creamy' but I'm shocked you chose white Wonder Bread instead of some darker, more foreign type of bread :)

special pop culture soda for antiquated boring religions. there is just something seriously wrong with this world. (and dont get on my butt for saying it's an antiquated religion) all religions are. dull and zzzzzzzzz and cause nothing but problems. it's so strange how we havent evolved as Earthlings in thousands and thousands of years. oh well, it's not like im passing off any dna.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 9:41 AM
DIBS, vegemite is antipodean - marmite is the english equivalent. I think they are both "yeast extract" although how they get that stuff out of yeast is beyond me.
Nutella is truly the spread of the gods though.
Posted by: the chicken at March 26, 2009 9:43 AM
chicken...I never took you for an "antipodeanist." Right now you are pretty much "antipodean" to both the Brits and the Aussies!!!!
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 9:47 AM
I hope those aren't long-term positions DIBS...
Posted by: the chicken at March 26, 2009 9:50 AM
Define long-term, chicken. We'll own them until we've made enough money or can no longer stand the pain.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 9:52 AM
not really - Aussies and Kiwis are reasonably considered antipodean to both Brits and Americans

Hahah Rob - coming out with guns blazing this morning! Taking on judism and peanut butter!! look out !!
Posted by: dirty_hipster at March 26, 2009 9:55 AM
My definition is probably a little different from others in the market in that it's not defined by an absolute-time.
long-term for me is where you wait until your underlying thesis is actually proved correct (or incorrect) rather than playing the shift in expectations ahead of the event.
eg If you want to hold them until the companies benefit from the announced subsidies then I would consider that long-term.
Posted by: the chicken at March 26, 2009 9:57 AM
"judism" = the study of Judy Garland by gay men.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 9:57 AM
"judism" = the obsession straight women seem to have with Jude Law.

Hey all. I'm away from the Death Star from now until Tuesday, in case anyone notices and is wondering :-)
I might check in periodically but if I can't, try not to miss me too much!
Posted by: Biff Champion at March 26, 2009 10:00 AM
"eg If you want to hold them until the companies benefit from the announced subsidies then I would consider that long-term."
That would definitely be long term, and may not even happen!
In this case, the details of the subsidy are not yet fully known. The stocks are washed out and under owned (as opposed to 2006 & 2007) and, more importantly, the price of oil is rising.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 10:01 AM
Smooth and thick peanut butter, please!
Thanks for those inspiring comments on food Rob, not! Arrghh!
chicken & DH, you are correct: nutella = food of the gods! I cannot keep it in the house, or I eat it spoon by spoon by spoon...

Oh, and Biff, I saw last night that you asked me for a divorce just because I don't like the Beatles. Have your lawyer call my lawyer - this could get ugly!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 10:04 AM
Snappy- I'm so glad you liked it! I admit I was worried as you admittedly said you are a picky eater.
Nutella is heavenly. We had Nutella Paninis at our wedding!
Posted by: TownhouseLady at March 26, 2009 10:07 AM
Snappy, our divorce is now off again after your first 10:04 posting. You're stuck with me.
Oh, and I like my peanut butter smooth. When things are smooth, they are much easier to spread (go crazy re-writing that).
Posted by: Biff Champion at March 26, 2009 10:08 AM
"We had Nutella Paninis at our wedding!"
THL, that more than makes up for the lack of a wedding song!
Posted by: Biff Champion at March 26, 2009 10:09 AM

How can you not like hazelnuts? And chocolate and hazelnuts?

I'll cease and desist Snappy, far be it from me to stand in the way of your bigamist megalomania! ; )
Now, pardon my ignorance, but do I need a sari or something to be in a harem? Do I get to wear some of that pretty tinkle-y jewelry?
Posted by: cobblehiller at March 26, 2009 10:19 AM
Cobble, I'm a good harem leader...you can wear whatever you like :) But, I must warn you, all my women are required to wear lipgloss at all times! (Just a little something to keep me happy)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 10:21 AM
All nuts, outside of peanuts, are bad. They give me killer migrains :( (ok, go ahead and make the jokes about the lesbian who is allergic to nuts!)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 10:22 AM
Do you prefer the flavored lip gloss and is that tinted or plain? [I aim to please!]
Posted by: cobblehiller at March 26, 2009 10:23 AM
I also don't like nuts and chocolate mixed. I like all kinds of nuts (BRG included, hazelnuts excluded) and I like chocolate but the two should be kept separate....JUST LIKE PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 10:24 AM

Don't invite me into this harem Snappy. I hate lip gloss. I like matte lipsticks so my hair doesn't get stuck to it.

Are cashews tree or ground?
Posted by: Heather at March 26, 2009 10:33 AM

We're going to need someone in between our heights to make this visually pleasing as a group...I'm very tall, and BRG's uhm, well, not quite as tall as me!
THL, how tall are you?

THL, matte lipstick works for me too. What color?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 10:35 AM
cashews are tree.
Did you know that cashews are more expensive than most nuts not because they are rare but because it is very costly to get them out of their shells.
Posted by: the chicken at March 26, 2009 10:35 AM
> "I like matte lipsticks so my hair doesn't get stuck to it."
Consider trimming your mustache.

Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 10:41 AM
I kow they grow on trees. I was just being a "nutist" and categorically making gross generalizations about anything typically referred to as a "nut."
The "whole" ones are far more expensive than the "halves & pieces"
Also, I only buy Planters. And, they must be salted.
A company based in Singapore called Olam controls the worldwide cashew market.

Posted by: the chicken at March 26, 2009 10:56 AM
Yes Snappy, both. My favorite is Chili by MAC. It's a brownish red.
DH- My dad is a pistachio fanatic. I used to love it as a kid when he'd sit on the sofa elbows propped on knees leaning forward towards the TV and watch a ball game with a big bag of pistachios. He'd let the shells drop into a brown paper grocery bag sitting between his feet. If you sat next to him he'd hand every other one off to you while he explained the game.
Back then he always had red stains on his fingertips. These days he gets the natural ones.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at March 26, 2009 10:56 AM

I'm with you Snappy. I'll grab the marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate. We'll have ourselves some s'mores.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at March 26, 2009 11:13 AM
Snappy...do overprotective mothers cause their daughters to become lesbians or just their sons to become gay??? There might be an opportunity over there for you.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 11:15 AM
LOL Dave! My mom is convinced that medicines I took made me gay. Either that or devil possession. Seriously!

Posted by: East New York at March 26, 2009 11:18 AM
Just taking a break from work to insert some actual Brownstoner-related content. Happy to report that yesterday I did some history research on our house at the Brooklyn Historical Society. Was able to determine that someone was living in our house at least as early as 1873 and that the structure has probably existed since at least 1869. We may have id'd the builder, but details are still quiet sketchy. Also, looks like the lot got flipped from the estate sale of a farm through a local alderman to the publisher of a local newspaper, 1849-51. Anyway, we can say with reasonable confidence our house is at least 140 years old.
OK, you can all now go back to highly relevant topics like peanut butter, cats, harems, etc.

That's really neat, Slopefarm. Do they have info on most Brooklyn buildings or just landmarked areas?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 11:22 AM
Sorry, THL. I absolutely hate chocolate. It tastes like a burnt pan and gives me a horrible tummy ache. Besides, it's got caffeine in it and I swore off all caffeine intake 12 years ago (for migraine reasons).

Snappy...that chicken's three days old by now!!!!
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 11:31 AM
Snappy, the info is historical and not limited to landmarks. They have old(e) maps and Brooklyn directories. last year I did my title history at the City register. I simply looked for those names in the Brooklyn directory (pre-phone phone books, alphabetized), to see if the title holders actually lived at the address.
THL, the flips probably occurred before there was a house. Speculation and inside dealing, but not yet "flip this house."
Posted by: slopefarm at March 26, 2009 11:33 AM
But it's been wrapped tightly in foil in the fridge!!! This is the depression, my friend. No food goes to waste!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 11:33 AM
Snappy, I know your chicken is already seasoned but in the future there's a million different things you can add to the basic reduction I gave you. You can do a google search for Balsamic reduction and you'll find a tons of different versions.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at March 26, 2009 11:35 AM
Dave, as long as it's already cooked and kept refrigerated it's fine.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at March 26, 2009 11:36 AM

You could buy "Peeps" They last forever even unrefrigerated.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 11:44 AM
That's great, slopefarm. I was lucky enough to find the blueprints to the four house group I'm in, and they are fascinating. I looked through the mortgage books at the Municipal Building, but was never able to find anyone before 1922, although I know my house was built in 1899. It was already a rooming house in 1926, but the boarding house kind, not kitchenettes or separate apartments. That didn't happen until the 1970's.
It's great to find out anything about the history of where you live.

Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 12:11 PM
DL,
Not sure it has a style at this point. It's a big brick-fill woodframe with a front porch on the parlor level, columns but no styling supporting the overhang, the original cornice is long gone, area under the porch enclosed etc. There are a handful of these larger scale frames in South Slope. Hardi-plank faux farnmhouse, I guess.
Posted by: slopefarm at March 26, 2009 12:15 PM

Latin Americans love their tongue dishes "lengua". I have had lengua from Chile to Mexico, always tasty. slightly different from region to region, but when all is said and done, tongue is tongue.
The Brits like it too.

"Cobble thinks I'm too short."
I only said that because I am so tall, and I want Snappy's harem to be visually pleasing, and if we have a range of heights from short to tall we'll look even prettier for her!
Now get down off that soap box! ; )

Hardi board is great stuff. I've used it on 2 houses and love it. Trex, not so much.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 12:48 PM
DIBS,
I love our hardiplank. Everyone thinks it's wood (that's because we did not get the woodgrain hardiplank, which looks fake). It's just not "original," of course. DeLepp wanted to know the "style" of our house. I would totally use the stuff again.
Did you do a trex deck? Why don't you like it? Our wood deck floorboards are warping and we were thinking of replacing with trex or something like it if we ever get the funds. Soft on the feet and no warping.
Posted by: slopefarm at March 26, 2009 12:55 PM
slope...no, you can't use the grained hardi...it looks awful.
There's nothing really wrong with the Trex, I just don't like the look as much. I have a pressure treated deck on the Cape that's been there for 16 years. It has a great brown oil based stain on it and I think I restained it only once. It's far better looking than another Trex one that I have.
I think if I were to do the Trex over I'd get the brown, not the grey.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 1:02 PM
There is no appeal to trex, it is the mystery meat of decking. Why bother? Save your quarters and use real wood.
Save many quarters and use ipe, the king of wood.

Serenade This, Snappy!!!
You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my plastic pumps when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the blog
You can tell my arms, go back onto the phone
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
You can tell your Ma I moved to Bay Ridge
You can tell your cat to bite my leg
Or tell your Husband Biff who's fist can tell my lips
He never really liked me anyway
Oh tell your aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows that I'm not okay
Oh you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart

"ENY...When it was time to come in and you were nowhere to be seen did your parents just hollar your names off of the front porch???"
My Mom would stick her head out of the back window and holler at us. At that time, the back of our house faced a HUGE open tract of undeveloped land that is now taken up by a residential housing development. We kids had turned part of the plot into our own neighborhood baseball field, where I spent about 98% of my summers. Most of our houses lined the "field" and our parents would just call to us from the window when it was time to go in. We would make fun of the kids whose parents called them in the earliest!
Posted by: East New York at March 26, 2009 3:57 PM
My sisters and I used to play on the fire escape. We'd put a blanket down and have a tea party. Things would fall through to the yard; which wasn't used by anyone; I was the bravest one, so they made me go down the fire escape ladder and get the teacups that fell.
Ah, the good ole days.

Posted by: TownhouseLady at March 26, 2009 4:17 PM
Hey you guys, serious question...I applied for a job over a month ago and got called in for an interview. The interview went really well (partner was super impressed w/ my resume, etc.), but I didn't get the job. Now I see that the same firm is hiring (again?) for the same position and has put out a new ad. Should I apply all over again and pretend I never did before? Send the partner I met with a note trying to remind him of who I am and asking for the job?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 4:19 PM
Well, I totally snarfed all the chicken that was left at lunchtime (still yummy!) and I didn't remember to take anything else out of the freezer to thaw (and my microwave is a piece of **** so no defrosting can happen there). I guess it will be tuna and crackers tonight.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 4:21 PM
I would reach out to the partner. If you don't get a response from them reapply. I wouldn't pretend like I didn't before because it'll all come out in the wash.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at March 26, 2009 4:23 PM
Snappy, after the interview did you send a thank you letter?
I wouldn't apply again, they're going to remember you and think what a dope, she doesn't remember we interviewed her already.
I would send a letter saying something to the affect....
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me blah, blah, blah. Although I didn't get the job, please keep me in mind if a position in your firm opens up and tell them how interested you are in the firm blah, blah blah.
Posted by: bayridgegirl at March 26, 2009 4:25 PM
Better yet, Snappy, call him up and ask him to explain over the phone. It can't hurt.
PS I can usually defrost frozen meat in about an hour when I get home, out of the freezer...a little warm water over it and place it directly onto the stone countertop and the countertop seems to dissipate heat into it fairly rapidly!!!! I never have to use the microwave.

"east new york had such a quaint life growing up. a collective awwwww is in order"
At TIMES it was quaint, Rob. But it was East New York, and we had some tough characters around. Like every boy in my neighborhood, I had to learn how to handle myself, particularly since we lived in a rowhouse and the guys from the nearby Linden Houses projects considered us "rich." Those guys were constantly trying to rob and/or intimidate us. I had a few fights. Won some, lost some. The thing is there were lots of fights but no one carried guns back then.
Posted by: East New York at March 26, 2009 4:27 PM
When I worked in a restaurant we used to take the meat right out of the walk in. It was frozen in those vacuum bags and toss it in a big sink filled with water (coldish). It really does defrost quick.
Put it in a baggie and cover with water.
What are you going to get Dave?
Posted by: TownhouseLady at March 26, 2009 4:29 PM
Yeah, I'm afraid of looking like a desperate dope by applying again, but the one way I may get away with it is that the ad does not list the name of the firm, etc. I just recognize the contact name and fax number from my records of where I applied and when. Oh, I don't know what to do.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 4:30 PM
What BRG said is perfect.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at March 26, 2009 4:32 PM
"Should I apply all over again and pretend I never did before?"
This sounds like a George Costanza would do! But I agree w/THL and BRG. Contact the partner again and ask about the position. The worst he/she can say is "not interested." I don't think there's any reason to be anything less than straightforward.
Posted by: East New York at March 26, 2009 4:33 PM
The pasta with lamb ragout but their Crispy Roasted pork Shank is to die for, literally!!!!. They also have a great selection of about 10-12 wines under $20. Their biscotti are fantastic.

Do it Snappy, nothing to lose except they say no. But at least then you won't be worrying that you passed something up.
Posted by: cobblehiller at March 26, 2009 4:36 PM
Ok, so I'll go the route of acknowledging prior application. Now, should I follow the instructions in the ad and send my info and a letter the way it says to, but address the cover letter to the partner directly or should I ignore the ad instructions and call the office? I'm sort of afraid to call the office really because I would be deflated if the guy doesn't remember me. I know for a fact that they interviewed at least 35 people for that job when I initially applied.

Snappy, Could you send letter to both, stating that you'd like to be reconsidered for the position? Can you think of anything that would entice them a bit? Offer to work freelance for a defined period so that they could try you out? [That might not work in your field, but it might in mine.]
THL, I'm making another cassoulet this weekend- I only made a half recipe last time in case I didn't love it, and I didn't... So I'm going to Julia Child for method this time.

Oh Dave!! You're so right! I had that at a restaurant in Dallas once and I never forgotten it. How many would you put in per shank?
Posted by: TownhouseLady at March 26, 2009 4:46 PM
Juniper berries or anchovies?? Probably only need 2-3 berries and maybe 1-2 anchovies per shank. Just make sure you crush the dried berries.

I was asking about the berries. Thanks. Nothing worse than when someone puts something in that just overwhelms the food. If you ever watch Martha Stewart cook she'll add in some so many really pungent herbs that you wonder if anyone will even be able to tell what the meat is.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at March 26, 2009 5:01 PM
Snappy...how long ago was the interview?
Send him a letter directly. Make it a follow up letter.
'Thank you for taking the time to meet with me on (date) and discuss the opportunities blah, blah, blah.' In the letter remind him who you are, remind him why they liked you. Also let him know that you are still interested in working for the firm. 'If the position is still available please re-consider my resume. I would love to meet with you again and discuss any further possibilities blah, blah, blah. If you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to call.'
Send the letter with your resume.
Then call him a day or two later. Thanking him for the interview and then tell him that you're still interested in working for the firm and that you sent him your resume for further review.
Be aggressive girlfriend....go get it!
We have to get you to the next drink up.

Some of my favorite wines of all time have been the less expensive ones. Particularly now, given peoples lack of "play money" I think it's important to give consumers good quality affordable choices.

Cobble, that sounds really good. Sign me up!

I think I'm gonna send the resume and letter talking about us meeting before, then wait a day and call him. I want to give him the chance to see my resume and remember me. I always do the follow-up note thing so that's a given.
If I'm employed by the time the next meet-up comes around, Snappy will be Happy :)

Oh and Snappy, just cause I'm trying to help you out in my above posts doesn't negate the fact that I still think you're a *wanton hussy*
Posted by: bayridgegirl at March 26, 2009 5:06 PM
And thanks for all the encouragement and advice people. It helps to keep a girl going :)

BRG, I just might do that! One thing is for sure though, when I do get a job my days of hanging around B'Stoner will be so over :( No time to post my usual drivel if I'm in court all day!

"I still want you, hussy!"
Are you singing this to Cobble?

You'll hve to be a member of the Brownstoner after dark club.

I'm sure you're drivel will be appreciated in the court system.
They sure don't have enough of it.

B'Stoner After Dark??? Sounds like one of those skin flicks they show on Cinemax after 8pm on a Friday!!!
And BRG, I don't drop drivel in court! Only really really good arguments :) (Hey, I've never lost!)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at March 26, 2009 5:15 PM
