Lovely, lovely, lovely!

I very much dislike Robert Parker and his silly points system.

As much as it pains me to post this (I'm Czech):

goulash (n.)
1866, from Hungarian gulyáshús, from gulyás "herdsman" + hús "meat." In Hungarian, "beef or lamb soup made by herdsmen while pasturing."

----------

The word gulyás originally meant only "herdsman", but over time the dish became gulyáshús (goulash meat) – that is to say, a meat dish which was prepared by herdsmen. Today, gulyás refers both to the herdsmen, and to the soup. From the Middle Ages until well into the 19th century, the Puszta was the home of massive herds of cattle. They were driven, in their tens of thousands, to Europe’s biggest cattle markets in Moravia, Vienna, Nuremberg and Venice. And the herdsmen made sure that there was always one "sickly" creature that had to be slaughtered along the way, the flesh of which provided them with a magnificent gulyáshús.

I think my Texas History class teacher glossed over the flag.... now I know why! HAH!

@spicygyoza "you only live once!"- that's the point! Why spend that life doing things you dislike?!

Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, Yotam Ottolenghi, and Sophie Dahl all have recipes online.

Borough Market also has a great recipe section: http://boroughmarket.org.uk/recipes

I think it's important to let guests bow out... without pressure! Don't bully people into participating! That's one of my pet peeves.

I don't love playing most games, but I will very happily watch with a glass of something nice in hand.
