You know I've been craving a Jeep for a few weeks now. Liz, you were the voice of reason! And for a while, I listened! I listened to the voice of common sense (except when it comes to stereos), and I listened to a voice telling me to quell the inner deer-killing Jeep owner that wanted out!
But the simple fact of the matter is ... Well, on Tuesday, a former coworker stopped by, and guess what? He was driving an '02 Wrangler. Took it for a spin around the parking lot. Today, a current coworker showed up in his new (to him) '03 Wrangler. He was smart, and didn't let me drive it.
But it's feeding the thirst, man! This is TRULY an addiction. You can get a new car, you can get a new love, but you never EVER get over your first Jeep. You've probably heard the saying, "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand." And it is ABSOLUTELY TRUE! When I first sold my beautiful deer slaying machine, I was happy - I'd just avoided paying an ASSLOAD for new repairs, and I got a sweet looking fast 5-speed sports car which saved me an ASSLOAD (my new favorite word) in gas mileage! What could be better?
I'm a Jeep owner. And I always have been. It is my fate in life, and it is my destiny. I am one with the Jeep, and I will wave to other Jeep owners, dammit.
I looked online, talked to my insurance agent, then stopped by Don White's Timonium Chrysler Plymouth Dealership ... looked at a nice, beautiful, GORGEOUS, silver '04 Wrangler SE - 5-speed manual transmission, tinted windows, soft-top, half-doors, all-black interior with faux leather, CD player ... and it was so affordable ...
Now I just need some 1:18 model deer to run over ...
Posted by Dukhat (Member # 341) on :
Man, the insurance on that thing must have gone through the roof!
Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be selling my Jeep. Even though it's a '98 with only 50,000 miles on it, & drives like a charm, I just don't have the time or facilities to keep up with the car care for it. Plus the fact that it sits in the parking lot 90% of the time while I drive my Corolla to work.

I haven't actually decided how much I'm selling it for. I cleaned the inside & was going to wash it today (July 4th), but it's raining here in Overlea where I am. I also was going to take some photos of it with my digital camera to post on a car buying site.

What makes me mad is that it failed inspection for the sole reason of it having oversized tires, which stick out about four inches past the wheel flares. I'm not going to spend a bunch of money to get smaller tires just to pass the inspection, so I'm selling it "as is", i.e. the inspection is someone else's problem. If someone really wants my Jeep, I'm sure they would know how to "get by" this little inconvenience, if they can find an inspector who'll turn a blind eye.

That's because you don't run over a moose. Moose are tall enough to fall into the front seat of the car, giving driver instant moose-sandwich in his mouth.

Moose curry?
Posted by Nim the Merciful (Member # 205) on :
Moose curry would go down extremely well. It is solid meat, tastes very "wild" (some call it gamy, but not in a bad way).
The real way to eat moose comes from Norrland, below Lapland. Moose stew or roast in swedish chanterelle sauce, with some currant-jelly or lingonberry jam. For dessert, hot cloudberries with vanilla ice cream. Cloudberries are cool.
I miss my grandma. Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
Cloudberries? Tell us more. Sorry about your gran. . .
Posted by Nim the Merciful (Member # 205) on :
Um, cloudberries. Hjortron in swedish. Amber-colored, raspberry-looking things. Grows best in the northern half of Sweden. Doesn't taste like raspberry, though, in fact I couldn't describe it to you if I had a week. Great jam (served hot), even better liqueur.
The name is similar to 'smultron', the baby version of strawberries (like baby corn vs. regular), and 'hjort' is our word for stag, deer. Our deer and reindeer also being secluded to the north.
Here they are. Posted by Nim the Merciful (Member # 205) on :
Daryus Aden: There's meat inside the antlers too, you know. Like in the claws of lobster or crab. Very tasty. Lol!

Moosemeat compares to beef the way wild boar compares to the regular, overbred ham. Juicier, less lean and with more taste.
I actually tried Vindaloo last week, I asked the patron, "What is the hottest course on the menu?" and he said vindaloo, and right he was.

Heh there is a nice Thai restaurant in Brisbane - anyway went there once and next to each main dish they have one, two or three chillie icons - mild, medium or hot. There was one on there with FIVE chillies - it was called "Aussie Cry" hehehehe.

Daryus: "Just because it is not burning out your insides does not mean that its watered down."
It's okay, Daryus, you don't need to defend and take responsibility for every curry dish ever served for the last 20 years on planet Earth.
Besides, I was there and you weren't, this curry was bad, bad I tell you. It was okay as food to fill stomache and provide nutrition, yet it was just meat, potatoes and peas boiled in a brown sauce and with two weak squeezes from the curry-weasel on each food bin, so it would qualify as curry to the lunch-ladies.
About the strength of curry, my whole point with mentioning my encounter with Vindaloo was that I had mostly eaten medium and light strength curry before, so I know about curry's various intensities and mixes.

No, it was about Jeeps and killing things with Jeeps. Then I said that in Sweden, the roadkill kills you (by being 8ft tall and weighing 1200lbs), then I described my favorite recipe for roadkill and there were cloudberries involved.
Whose plants have sex in the wild, real horrorshow-like.

Speaking of Scandinavian liquours (or at least I think we were), I've got a Norwegian cookbook lying around with some interesting recipes about whose liquid ingredients/accoutrements I may have some questions someday soon.

Right, you'll be the one responsible for the punch bowls at the annual July 4th jamboree at the Overlook hotel?
First-hand tip, advokaat, can't go wrong with that. Nothing like egg and brandy for an aphrodisiac. One drink and you'll be walking around unwittingly knocking over table lamps left and right.

We made Coq au Vin the other night, I poured in some brandy and ignited it, it set the grease filter in the cooker's extractor hood on fire. Fantastic!
