Captain Oates 21 Posted February 25, 2007 Thank you HCW, Windsor, CarolAnn and TLC for your congratulations and kind comments. May I use post No.1001 to congratulate Han on having also passed the 1000 post threshold? I notice that you joined one day after I did and reached 1000 on the same day as me, so I'll need to move a bit faster to keep up! And congratulations to CarolAnn for 400!

Canadian Paul 97 Posted March 1, 2007 HAPPY BIRTHDAY OoO! So I decided that now that you're 29, what a better way to celebrate than to make you a wallpaper out of the top 29 girls on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women of 2006 list. Better idea in theory than in practice, but here's the final result anyhow: http://www.landpirates.net/tchir/ooobirthday.jpg Turns out that it's nearly f*****g impossible to fit 29 women on one wallpaper, so some of them look like sh*t, especially Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kelly Brooks and Halle Berry, but my careful editing makes Rachel Bison look topless, so I'm happy with it anyways. Enjoy! And happy birthday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted March 1, 2007 S'cuse the ramble off this topic but the thread dedicated to his whereabouts on his last elongated disappearance is long since locked. Over a month since Tempus was seen in action hereabouts, anyone - like - know anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarolAnn 926 Posted March 1, 2007 Happy birthday, OoO! I will refrain from finding a recipe.... Oh heck. I can't help it. This one is too appropriate. PICKLED OCTOPUS (Htapothi toursi) INGREDIENTS ------------------------------------------------------------ 1kg (2.25lb) young octopus about 150ml (0.25pint) olive oil about 150ml (0.25pint) red wine vinegar 4 cloves garlic salt and black pepper 4-6 stalks thyme or 1tsp dried thyme lemon wedges, to serve DIRECTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ Prepare and wash the octopus. Place the head and tentacles in a pan with 6-8tbsp water, cover and simmer for 1-1.25 hours until it is tender. Test it with a skewer. Drain off any remaining liquid and set aside to cool. Cut the flesh into 12mm (0.5inch) strips and pack them loosely into a screw-topped jar. Mix enough oil and vinegar to fill the jar - the exact amount will depend on the relative volumes of the seafood and the container - stir in the garlic and season with salt and pepper. If you are using dried thyme, mix it with the liquid at this stage. Pour it over the octopus, making sure that every last piece is completely immersed. If you are using thyme stalks, push them into the jar. Cover the jar and set it aside for at least 4-5 days before using. To serve, drain the octopus and serve it on small individual plates or saucers with the lemon wedges. Cubes of at least one-day old bread, speared on cocktail sticks, are the usual accompaniment.
