  Thanks for the background. I heard rumours you are keen on beer fairies, but maybe in your old age those are less important to you nowadays?

  as a born in, or in at a very young age, what were your worst memories as a young jw child?.

  i remember not being allowed to go to sleep in the meetings when i was tired.

  not being allowed to do lots of things at school other kids could do.

  Heating to wear skirts and dresses to the meetings and being embarrassed if someone from school saw me dressed like that.

  I love your recipe, I do something similar, only without artichokes. Actually, I was going to post one pasta recipe myself. This is what I make when I'm short on time.

  Roasted Summer Vegetables Pasta

  Ingredients: (all optional and you can always add more or less vegetables of your choice or change it up)

  1 aubergine

  1 large red onion

  few peppers of your choice (depending on your choice you will need the moderate the amount, meaty ones are better)

  1 courgette

  chestnut mushrooms (optional)

  1 chilli (finely minced)

  few pear tomatoes (the more you put the juicier)

  olive oil

  Italian herbs

  season to taste

  3 garlic cloves (finely minced)

  rigatoni

  Directions

  Very simple. Wash your veggies and cut them all to similar bite size pieces. Coat them in olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs and spread on the baking sheet (if needed spread it on two baking sheets if it's too crowded on one). The vegetables need to be properly roasted, if not they will look more like they are steamed and will not taste the same.

  5-10 min before the veggies are done add the garlic, stir the veggies and you can add splash or two of balsamic vinegar.

  At the that time start cooking the pasta in salted water.

  When pasta and vegetables are done, combine all (if too dry add a bit of cooking water and a bit more of olive oil)

  Finish off with some grated Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh basil

  If you want to jazz it up you can add

  1 packet of long thin sausages (roast them cut up with vegetables)

  or

  smoky bacon

  or even tuna (rio mare in olive oil)

  Another twist on it is to omit the tomatoes and add the cream at the end.

  Bon appétit

  Lost my best friend (man's best friend)

  just wanted to write a tribute to my best friend whom i lost last week, it was one of the most painful experiences i have ever been through.

  i have no children, my puppy was my child.

  i got him from a golden retriever rescue organization when he was 2. he was recovering from a car accident, still a bit skiddish, but he chose me to take him home (the foster mom said that he never responded to anyone like he did me).. he was always happy to see me, greet me with a toy in his mouth, he never judged me, never cared whether i was "bad association", he was always there when i needed to smile and remembe that i was not alone in the world.

  Dear Coffee HG, I am sad with you. My dog is my baby too and thinking of that kind of loss makes me feel heartbroken.

  Once you give yourself enough time to grieve, I am sure there is some new friend waiting for you to rescue him/her, and to help your broken heart to heal with it's doggie love.

  OODAD you are quite a chef, and I would love if your Hungarian Goddess share some authentic recipes with us. Cedars loves a good steak so I will definitely try your recipe.

  i just thought you should know that mrs cedars has finally taken the plunge and joined the forum.

  she was able to log on for the first time yesterday.. though we both "awakened" at different stages, mrs cedars was very supportive and non-judgmental when i first began exploring my beliefs from a critical standpoint.

  she is currently in the process of reading crisis of conscience and aquainting herself with some of the facts of witness history that were hitherto unknown.

  Ooops! Just wanted to thank everyone for your warm welcome. I feel very at home! I've been so busy lately that I haven't been on the forum at all, but I'm hoping to catch some time to read all your posts that I missed out on soon!

  3rdgen I love your pic, and yes, your current username is much better than Mrs. Ass!!!
