BiPolarBear 476 Posted May 29, 2020 I have no clue as to the answer for either question. I died last November. The medical staff expected that to happen, and my second surgery was jam-ass packed with the whose-who of Dallas surgeons and cardiologist. They had the machines right there when my heart stopped, and I stopped breathing. I was put in a three day induced coma, and boy, was I up when I came to. (Countdown until one of you lard asses reminds me that I was up before all this happened). For the sake of brevity, I will just say things could have gone better, or worse. Right now, I have a slightly exposed toe bone, and I am a fall risk. I see that Cloaca du jour has had a journey of his own, and wish him a speedy recovery. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also I got to float around in darkness without a body. I got to decide if I wanted to come back or not. There was a chair (in my case). Sit down, and you stay formless. I wanted to comeback, and was giving the realization that it may suck a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He concentrated on techniques and kitchen tools. He exhibited a high appreciation for the excellence of ingredients, and the importance of supporting the farmers, fishermen, etc., that bring you that excellence. He peeled asparagus with a simple French peeler. Oh, he showed a few "kitchen gadgets" that he disdained. After he explained why you should not let them in your kitchen, he would do a quick turn and trow them in the sink. Lol. He showed how to prepare artichoke hearts, in kind of a stew. I would cut my thumb to the bone if I tried to use a knife like he does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
