Thanks for the invitation.

Went into the forest to hunt for mushrooms and found some nice Porcini: Porcini-Mushrooms
I decided to take some egss, cream, bacon and onions, add some salt, pepper, some marjoram and just a hint of mace (to much would ruing the dish and totally obliterate the mushrooms scent).
Fry the the bacon, add the onions and stir until they are glazed. The mushrooms are not fried as porcini are one of the mushroom kinds that are OK to eat uncooked. They will be slightly cooked when the dish is put into the oven.
Mix the cream with the eggs and add the seasoning to taste (beware of the mace ) and put it all into a cake tin that has been lined with short crust:

Add some roughly grated cheese on to of the tarte (I used well matured Gouda):

Here's the final result:

It was very tasty and if I run across some porcini again I'll do this dish again.
Cheers!

Warning: Hindi video.
Douche bag talking about cloud computing[^] (DB's opinions on cloud computing starts at 1:50)
For those who don't know Hindi: There's this Indian political leader, who has understood "cloud computing" for its literal sense, and is explaining to another idiot about how software is stored in "the cloud".
The knob then is asking an open question to the computer scientists of the world on if anyone has thought about what might happen if it suddenly rains!

Well, I know that politicians can speak sh*t with confidence. But this is beyond $#%ERTEF (I can't find the word.) 
from now onward I am going to use the word ' Vishwa Bandhu Gupta' instead of the word 'F$#%#$ Moron'

The first time I saw that video, I had to sit down for a few minutes to believe what I saw.
It's a pity that dolts like this can take up jobs in the government.

Well, I though he was a some kind of Indian sitting down comedian (like the US stand up one)! (I saw a subtitled version a while back)
Was I wrong? is he really serious? Seeing a string of straight faced doubtful Indians I am starting to doubt myself!!

He was serious, and he has an expert opinion on pretty much anything in the world.
Can you imagine?

This is one of the most depressing things I ever read on the web. I used to live in blissful ignorance of just how disturbed/deluded/plain thick my compatriots are.
So Edward Snowdon's leaking of classified documents poses a very real tangible risks of terrorism in the UK and abroad. But as you might expect HYS is full of paranoid idiots who think the government is spying on them and their stupid lives and their porn habits. The guy is a a hero apparently for endangering every one of us.
My God. Really.

so say people who profit greatly from a frightened and obedient populace.
Whoever is saying something publicly is doing so for their own agenda or that of someone paying them. Whoever is commenting on anything on the internet is a delusional idiot, ourselves included.

Basically false.
Every right has risks. Something that the framers of the US constitution understood.
There are real risks associated with what Snowden released. The question is not whether it could be used to further some terrorist plot but rather will it be and to what extent the papers themselves actually would impact such a plot (it might have proceeded without the release.)

Which of course covers every single statement made by anyone anywhere whether public or private, whether the internet, other media or even the living room of a house.

It's ridiculous to imagine that the Security Services have the resources to monitor the lives of everyone. Even the Stasi wasn't that efficient.

Finding it rather difficult to know how to take this message of yours. Can't work out if it's a rant or sarcasm or a bit of both.
If you're serious, why not send all of your banking details, shopping habits and household internet habbits to me. I don't know you, won't share them with anyone and aren't particularly interested in the contents. Your secrets are safe with me! Go-on, blindly share personal information with someone for whom it has no utility - I dare ya!
Yeah - exactly! Elephant that for a joke. Some of us take exception to the kinds of blanket-(no suspicion necessary)-surveillance undertaken by a particular agency in the States. Edward's not about to get my condemnation any time this week.

Did you ever see "The Captain's Paradise", especially the last scene?
Dave.

Nope, but Google reveals it's an Alec Guinness movie that I haven't seen, so I shall certainly look it up.

When you find it and see it, tell me what you think of that last scene (it is the same scene as the first scene, only that it completes the story).
