Yeah, and I completely agree with everything he said in the car wash, but I still don't know how to make spaghetti bolognese.
Ooooh... SPLENDID!
But when did Digby (the worlds biggest dog) get related to Frost*? Guess ProgDog won't be happy about that!
Fab! Those drums are going to be absolutely epic... :D
yay!

Preparazione: si scioglie nel tegame la pancetta tagliata a dadini, e tritata con la mezzaluna. Si aggiungono le verdure ben tritate con la mezzaluna e si fanno appassire dolcemente. Si aggiunge la carne macinata e la si lascia, rimescolando sino a che "sfrigola"; si mette il 1/2 bicchiere di vino e il pomodoro allungato con un poco di brodo, e si lascia sobbollire per circa 2 ore, aggiungendo volta a volta il latte, e aggiustando di sale e pepe nero.

You just have to ask, mate! :D
...oops, wrong language! :lol:
Ah, so you put milk in it, Gandalf? Doesn't it curdle?
Quote from: "catherine"Ah, so you put milk in it, Gandalf? Doesn't it curdle?
No, it doesn't curdle because you put the milk during the 2 hours cooking of the ragù and it becomes cream! ;)

No, it doesn't curdle because you put a bit of milk every 10 minutes or so during the 2 hours cooking of the ragù and it becomes cream! ;)
Ive really missed this :lol: :D

As far as I can tell, you do a lot of driving and get lots of hangovers. Chances are you probably made some spag bol when you were drunk at 3am in the morning even though you have no conscious knowledge of how to make it, so once you're sobered up you just need to pop it in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
There cannot be another prog band forum in the world where the conversation can go from a comedy documentary on YouTube to a serious discussion about how best to make Spaghetti Bolognese in the space of one post.
You are the best humans on all the Earth. :D 8-)
Never mind that, though, did you know that, as measured in phosphorus, the waste output of 5,000 cows roughly equals a municipality of 70,000 people?
In the U.S., dairy operations with more than 1,000 cows meet the EPA definition of a CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation), and are subject to EPA regulations. For example, in the San Joaquin Valley of California a number of dairies have been established on a very large scale. Each dairy consists of several modern milking parlor set-ups operated as a single enterprise. Each milking parlor is surrounded by a set of 3 or 4 loafing barns housing 1,500 or 2,000 cattle. Some of the larger dairies have planned 10 or more series of loafing barns and milking parlors in this arrangement, so that the total operation may include as many as 15,000 or 20,000 cows. The milking process for these dairies is similar to a smaller dairy with a single milking parlor but repeated several times. The size and concentration of cattle creates major environmental issues associated with manure handling and disposal, which requires substantial areas of cropland (a ratio of 5 or 6 cows to the acre, or several thousand acres for dairies of this size) for manure spreading and dispersion, or several-acre methane digesters. Air pollution from methane gas associated with manure management also is a major concern. As a result, proposals to develop dairies of this size can be controversial and provoke substantial opposition from environmentalists including the Sierra Club and local activists.
The potential impact of large dairies was demonstrated when a massive manure spill occurred on a 5,000-cow dairy in Upstate New York, contaminating a 20-mile (32 km) stretch of the Black River, and killing 375,000 fish. On Aug. 10, 2005, a manure storage lagoon collapsed releasing several million gallons of manure into the Black River. Subsequently the New York Department of Environmental Conservation mandated a settlement package of $2.2 million against the dairy.
"Loafing barns"?
I hope the cows wash their hooves before they make the bread....

It's OK - they wear loafers.

Why don't you just put cream in ?
Speaking of which, did you know that the cutthroat trout is thought to have evolved over the past two million years from other Oncorhynchus species which migrated up the Columbia and Snake river basins to the Green and Yellowstone river basins. Within the past 20,000 years, a population which crossed the Continental Divide during the most recent Ice Age gave rise to the greenback cutthroat.
The greenback cutthroat trout today is found east of the Continental Divide in the cold, clear foothill and mountain waters of the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers. Although it was common in the late 19th century, ranging along the Front Range from Wyoming to New Mexico, it began to decline when settlers arrived in the area. Mining in its native river basins led to sediment and toxic runoff in the water. These factors, along with water diversion for agriculture and overfishing, led to the decline of many greenback cutthroat trout populations.
The introduction of non-native species such as brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), brown trout (Salmo trutta), and rainbow trout (O. mykiss) was also detrimental to the greenback cutthroat. The former two species competed with greenback cutthroats while the latter hybridized with it, creating cutbows. Other subspecies of cutthroat were introduced to greenback habitat, further damaging populations due to hybridization.
