peppercorns
2-3 cloves of garlic

cayenne pepper
Place the smoked loin in a pot, pour water and let it boil. Spill water, rinse the pot, then put together fresh pork legs and dry loin and pour water just to cover them. Put the pot on the smallest hotplate and allow to boil. Decrease the temperature and start to remove the foam which appears on the surface, as long as there it is. When foam stops to appear, add the bay leaf, garlic clovers, peppercorns and reduce the temperature so that the water just boil easily. Cook covered for about 6 hours .
Remove the meat and let the liquid to boil over high heat , to make sure that it will further thicken and tighten better.
remove the bones from the meat. If desired, separate only lean or leave and skin and fatty parts. Cut into small chunks and arrange in a baking pan or some other desired form. Strain the liquid through a thick strainer. Allow to cool slightly , then remove the fat that has formed on the surface. Season upon to taste with salt, dry vegetable mix, garlic powder or chopped fresh garlic. Pour the liquid over the chopped meat and leave to cool. Once cooled and hardened, cut into cubes, sprinkle cayenne pepper and serve cold.

Q: What’s the difference between England and a teabag?
A: A teabag could stay in the cup for longer.
Reading this heart wrenching joke entitles any fanatical, English rugby supporting, 1-Link members, to PM tokoian (yes, I am the author) any below-the-belt, underhanded joke of similar ilk, if your boys beat us Kiwis in the up and coming League test.
I promise to publish anonymously. But would make it quite clear that I would not degrade our beloved ex-World Champs. The current holder of the cup remains a mystery at this time, due to my debilitating amnesia.
A guy and his wife are sitting and watching a boxing match on television. The husband sighs and complains, “This is disappointing. It only lasted for 30 seconds!”
“Good,” replied his wife. “Now you know how I always feel.”
A woman announces to her friend that she is getting married for the fourth time.
“How wonderful! But I hope you don’t mind me asking what happened to your first husband?”
“He ate poisonous mushrooms and died.”
“Oh, how tragic! What about your second husband?”
“He ate poisonous mushrooms too and died.”
“Oh, how terrible! I’m almost afraid to ask you about your third husband.”
“He died of a broken neck.”
“A broken neck?”
“He wouldn’t eat the mushrooms.”
BEFORE COMPUTERS…
An application was for employment,
A program was a TV show,
A cursor used profanity,
A keyboard was a piano!
Memory was something that you lost with age,
A CD was a bank account,
And a floppy disk was something
Terribly wrong in your back.
Compress was something you did to garbage,
Not something you did to a file.
And if you unzipped anything in public,
You’d be in jail for awhile!
Log on was adding wood to a fire,
Hard drive was a long trip on the road.
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived,
And a backup happened to your commode!
Cut – you did with a pocket knife,
Paste – you did with glue.
A web was a spider’s home,
And a virus was the flu!
PS: I’ve no idea what the line italic was supposed to read. Sorry, I’m not intelligent enough to come up with a poem as good as this!
CD……….. bank? I know COD (cash on delivery, not a fish), a cad is other peoples’ friends (not mine), El Cid is a movie, cud a bovine term worth chewing on. Ced is absolutely nothing (except expanded to Co-ed).
The poem does reinforce though just how much language changes with the times.
There is an overweight guy who is watching TV. A commercial comes on for a guaranteed weight loss of 10 pounds in a week. So the guy, thinking what the heck, signs up for it. Next morning an incredibly beautiful woman is standing at his door in nothing but a pair of running shoes and a sign about her neck that reads, “If you can catch me, you can have me.” As soon as he sees her, she takes off running. He tries to catch her, but is unable. This continues for a week, at the end of which, the man has lost 10 pounds. After this he tries the next weight loss plan, 15 pounds in a week. The next morning an even more beautiful woman is standing at the door, in similar conditions. The same happens with her as the first woman, except he almost catches her. This continues for a week, at the end of which he, as suspected, weighs 15 pounds less. Excited about this success, he decides to do the master program. Before he signs up, he is required to sign a waiver and is warned about the intensity of this plan. Still he signs up. The next morning, waiting at the door, is a hulking 300 pound muscle man with nothing but a pair of running shoes, a raging erection, and a sign around his neck that says, “If I catch you, you’re mine!” The man was supposed to lose 25 pounds in the week; he lost 34.
A child asked his father, “How were people born?” So his father said, “Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on.” The child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, “We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now.” The child ran back to his father and said, “You lied to me!” His father replied, “No, your mom was talking about her side of the family.”
