ST Poll: is there a minimum amount for a little Christmas gift for your direct reports at work? - TFox Dec 7, 10:12 7
- Very strict gift rules here. We can't gift to supervisors more than $10. I don't at all. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 7, 10:20 2
  - yeah, my old boss wouldn't even let me buy him a coffee. i meant down the chain, not up. -- nm - TFox Dec 7, 10:21 1
    - oh. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 7, 10:23
- we do a Yamkee swap here with a $20 limit -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 10:13 3
  - we do too, and i'm on vacation that day. i mean, if your boss gave you a gift worth _____, you'd be more offended than if they skipped it entirely. -- nm - TFox Dec 7, 10:14 2
    - i think being ignored entirely would be worse than something small and thoughtful. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 7, 10:17 1
      - ooh, you know? AT Cross is in RI, and they have a cheap-as-hell factory store. - TFox Dec 7, 10:19

Is it bad of me to promote the idea of sushi on today, December 7th, given the significance of the day? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:08 23
- No. It's a bad idea to promote the idea of sushi today because most restos do not receive fresh fish on Monday. -- nm - Diva Dec 7, 10:20 8
  - You know, my favorite sushi place is always closed on Mondays. I wonder if this is the reason... -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 10:28
  - Mmm... fresh sushi. *drools* -- nm - Don Homer Dec 7, 10:24
  - *swoon*....nm - x Dec 7, 10:23
  - [deleted]
  - I wonder if it's different where he lives? (west coast) -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:21 3
    - That makes no difference. The fish markets are closed over the weekend, so on Mondays the restaurants will offer a fish soup or sushi special to get - Trish Dec 7, 10:43
    - sunday is the bad day in vancouver. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 10:38
    - Oddly, I don't get sushi with fish in it, so freshness is usually irrelevant. :) - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:25
- well, sushi was invented in the US. I wouldn't promote it as a commemoration, though. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:10 12
  - which is why it has always gone by its original name "raw fish and seeweed". -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 10:21 1
    - I hate when my memory does this crap. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:25
  - i doubt Japan is part of the US -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:12 9

      - burritos? -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 10:36 1
        
        actually, that would make sense. you might be right. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:38
      - Pizza or Hamburgers - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:15
      - the california roll. california is part of the US. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:14 3
        
        well "toast hawaii" was invented by a German TV Chef who was no chef -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:17
        
        yes, I knew that one. but I'm thinking of something else that's popular in Japan. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:15 1

- NMB TY......... - Walt_Disney Dec 7, 10:21
- it's the greatest food city in the world. I understand that no seafood + weight issues are a drag, though. I guess I won't kill you... - x Dec 7, 10:17 2
  - I do have a few more points to work with now, so I can start to branch out a little. - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:32 1
    - i got more... - x Dec 7, 10:42
- try them all in alphabetical order -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:07
- I get where you're coming from. If you don't like seafood you've got a problem there. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:07 43
  - uhmmm Kobe Beef Burger :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:09 5
    - waygu beef is so good - 'lia Dec 7, 10:20
    - that'll kill his per diem quick. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:10 3
      - not if he finds a Bonefish Grill -- nm - Remlik Dec 7, 10:21
      - you'd be surprised. - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:12 1
        
        damn private industry! :) -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:16
  - that last word was totally unnecessary. -- nm - TFox Dec 7, 10:08 36
    - Growing up, I always thought it was exotic. I've been on a quest to try all kinds of seafood ever since. It rules. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 10:13
    - my familiy is 50/50 seafood lovers/haters. I think it actually tastes different to the haters. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:09 2
      - I guess there might be a genetic or developmental component to liking seafood -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:17 1
        
        the haters and lovers seem to have been that way from birth, in my family, and it never changes in their lifetime. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:18
    - Total agreeance. I love seafood ... except for scallops. Can't stand scallops. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:09 30
      - This might be the most wrong thing ever. Scallops are the best. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:10 27
        
        I had a bad experience. However, I suspect that if I prepared the scallops *myself*, I might be able to find an appealing recipe -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:15 11
        
        Season with salt and pepper, heat them thru in a pan with some butter and white wine, dip in garlic butter. You're welcome :) -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:17 10
        
        I would skip the wine ... and I like beaker's BBQ idea -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:19 9
        
        The alcohol evaporates anyway. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:20 7
        
        Everyone says that (and my coworker confirms that ethanol evaporates at 82 celsius), but I am still doubtful. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:26 6
        
        it's no good to pour pure alcohold on food it has to have some kind of taste -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:31
        
        No worries. Just straight butter works. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:31 2
        
        *breaks out the box of anhydrous clarified milkfat* - znufrii Dec 7, 10:35
        
        I do like me some butter. *eats another pecan butter tart* -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:32
        
        Are you allergic to alcohol? Also, if it's added toward the end of the cooking, not all of it will evaporate, obvie. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 10:30 1
        
        No, I have a psychological aversion to it. I try to avoid it in all forms, although lately I've become a bit less concerned about having in food. - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:32
        
        ooh, *replaces the wine with, of all things, peprika* -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:20
        
        LOVE scallops! -- nm - zork Dec 7, 10:15
        
        but they have to be made perfectly and they are easy to mess up - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:13
        
        especially wrapped in bacon. -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 10:11 11
        
        Word. - znufrii Dec 7, 10:12 10
        
        we make ours fresh and cook them on the BBQ :) -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 10:13 9
        
        nice. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 10:17 1
        
        I think my next recipe for them will add a bit of sriracha to the sugar/curry mixture... - znufrii Dec 7, 10:19
        
        can you find large scallops in the market anymore? - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:16 6
        
        That's the sort of thing that goes to Whole Foods first, but yeah -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 10:22
        
        every grocery store here -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 10:20 3
        
        $11.99/lb is standard unfortunately. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:22 2
        
        or higher -- nm - 'lia Dec 7, 10:24 1
        
        That's as high as it gets here. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:25
        
        sure. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:17
        
        Chicken (of the land) is the best. -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:10
      - I really hate scallops. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:09 1
        
        My reaction to it is like Mos Def/Left Ear from The Italian Job ... "I had. A bad. Experience." -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:11
    - You've never been more correct. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:08
Now I want Azuma Sushi for lunch. Mmmm, steamed rice bowl ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:06
So the Patriots haven't won a Super Bowl without Charlie Weis? -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 10:05 1
- Or Romeo Crennel.....let's not forget Romeo. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:07
honestly i�ve never understood why people collect LEGO i mean it's just LEGO! - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:05 7
- yeah, well what do danes know about Lego? it's not like you invented it! -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 10:28
- I came across a hottie flickr girl who is a Lego maniac. I let her know about this place but she hasn't shown up - zork Dec 7, 10:14
- Legos are cool. It is fun to collect cool things. -- nm - TFox Dec 7, 10:07 2
