Rowling Makes a Stand

Can't have grilled salmon without dill, and mashed potato is the ultimate comfort food. You're all wrong except murasaki.

That reads like something from chatGPT. It's word salad that is a hallmark of trans ideology.

The fact that you associate goblins with Jewish people; - is a symbol of your racism. And is incredibly telling.

The great irony of course, is that on twitter JKR is accused of being too pro Jews and anti-Palestine.

But again, that you think goblins look like Jewish people and are obsessed with money is just a symbol of anti-semitism and racism. The TRAs out themselves. Every.single.time.

I think it might be Martin Dammann's photo collection, published in 127 pages as Soldier Studies: Cross-Dressing in der Wehrmacht. By his reckoning, there are “one or two” such photos in every “twenty to thirty” albums of amateur World War II photography that he has bought over the years. "They are a small, though very interesting, subset of his vast collection."

It is interesting that this article includes the words "As a category, Dammann conflates homosexuality, a thing that the Nazis punished, with cross dressing, which was quite acceptable to Nazis. Very different things have been swept into the discursive construction known as “gender nonconformity.” This is how the mandarins of queer theory revise history to make the Nazis into the original “transphobia.” They are committing academic fraud when they do this." and goes on from there. Worth a quick read. as is the article linked to it at the bottom, https://www.thedistancemag.com/p/how-transgender-historians-give-magnus

Sorry to drag the thread back into the mire.

Quickly I add: My mother made leek-and-potato soup quite often: a good filler on a cold day. If she'd sieved it (this was in the days before food processors), added cream, and served it cold, that's vichyssoise to all intents and purposes, but she never did. It was jolly good as a hot soup anyway.

Don't compound my embarrassment with misery!

I like a boiled cake myself.

Dill and celery are indeed in the carrot family.

Anyhow I just want to add in my cucumberr jam I made last year. I loved it so much I've got 14 cucumber plants growing this year so I can make jars after jars of the stuff.

I make a beautiful sweet/sour lightly pickled cucumber recipe which is entirely elevated by the addition of dill.

Dill is one of those tastes you either like or you don't. Celery apparently is another. I have a feeling they may even be related!

I mentioned (delicious) boiled cake at one stage but was not taken up on it.

I have avoided the boiled thread in case someone thinks I actually boil beetles!

Dill is delicious sprinkled on boiled carrots - and renders pretty much anything more digestible. It is very confusing that the tirade against boiled food and this ridiculous denunciation of JKR are separate threads.

Weren't you worried it might have a problem with this corrosion?

I have just one word for you:

Dill.

It is how to ruin smoked salmon.

Makes sense in that case.

Can't do black pepper or garlic either, I'm afraid. Hence mash being underwhelming.

Then you're doing it wrong. Cream, butter, salt, black pepper garlic paste. A bowl full of that please.

I like potatoes but they don't like me. Mash is definitely a waste of a good spud - if I'm going to risk the pain, it needs to be a flipping fantastic culinary experience, and mash... ain't.

I love potatoes in almost every form but mash is the waste of a perfectly good spud.

Thanks for the reminder, vichysoise is definitely going on the menu this week.

Wait a minute...! You're not talking about the band, are you?

<mutters under breath >

Fine, I'll be in the Gullibles Corner for a while...

I feel that my victim status as having been taught by the Sisters of Mercy redeems me.

Yes. I'm afraid it does. <sigh> Your life is over now, you no longer exist...

Wow! I think that makes you famous (or at least famous-adjacent ). Am I jealous!

Yes, I can see that- lukewarm leeks bordering on congealed doesn't sound appealing. So, cold, yes, cold would be a prerequisite. And I'm with you on the vinaigrette, better be very good.

This is 100% true
