FriendFeed should be faster again. We were had some network issues which caused a lot of slowness this past week, but I think it's fixed now. Let me know if you are still encountering any extreme slowness.

FriendFeed is dying for me. In fact. it's just about gone. I use it as a control room and discussion space for my Twitter feed, and a searchable archive. Discussion threads are down about 80 percent. "Likes" are off about 90 percent. There's no real time feed in from Twitter any more. Sad.
- Jay Rosen
Agreed, Jay. My personal life is in a bit of an upheaval right now, which hasn't helped, but the FB acquisition took the wind out of the sails for me. It feels like there's no future, or worse, a future wired up to the "friending" criteria of my Facebook account. I use the services COMPLETELY differently, however. Inbound updates continue, since they're automatic, but this is the first comment I've posted in weeks. Sad, indeed.

I am using Twitter and FB more and more lately. On the plus side, it's strengthening some real world connections. I'm missing out on the cool new stuff but I think I had gone overboard on that front.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I like FriendFeed, but I happen to find myself using Twitter and IRC more as of late. I guess I've probably just burnt myself and others out, given that I don't seem to have much in the way of compelling content and commentary these days, and that I just don't feel as motivated as I'd like to. :(

Hi Paul, I know it has been a while since this post. But over the last 48 hours my Twitter updates have quit showing up in FF. I tried manually refreshing. Then I removed the account so I could just add it back in. When trying to do that I get the following message: "We could not find the given account" I haven't changed anything. Any thoughts on why this is happening? I haven't had any trouble until now. Thanks.

dried fruit (esp raisins), alcohol and a bit of suet as a pie filling. I've never had it but I really like raisin pie so I think I'd probably like mince pies.

I used to think meat and fruit couldn't mix but there used to be a Peruvian restaurant in town and they totally changed my mind on that with a sort of Peruvian tamale they made with raisins in it.

There's no nuts in it?!?! WTF did they feed me? I refuse to believe those crunchy bits were actual meat.
- Admiral Anika
One of my great-aunts made mincemeat pies every Thanksgiving. I never tried it.

- Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
"minced meat" is a common term in the UK for what we in the US call "hamburger." Mincemeat (or "mince," as it's often called) is a pie filling dating back to the middle ages that consists of small pieces of fruits, nuts, and suet, usually soaked in wine or other spirits. It used to be considered a great delicacy and has since fallen somewhat out of favor.
- Mistletoe Glen
The preparation was also a good way to preserve meat way back when. It also adds filler (the fruits and such), extending the amount of meat that a person had to use. In that context, it makes sense, but I've never felt compelled to try a mincemeat pie. The aroma of the ones I've been near have not been enticing.
- Katy S
Mince Meat is my porn name.
- Chrimmus Tad
My grandmother used to make Mincemeat pie and made her own mixture, which yes, did include suet......however, there is no meaty taste....just sweet. Now you can buy mincemeat in jars to make pies, but there is no longer any suet added to it. She used to put "hard" sauce over the pie...that's just butter, confectioner's sugar, and booze.....like brandy, rum or whiskey....it was the best part!
- Bonnie Foster
I like mincemeat pies from time to time. I've never had one that tasted like meat, though, and if meat was part of the mix it was barely recognizable.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)

modern meaning of minced meat is identical to that of ground meat. IOW, minced beef = ground beef.
- Joe Silence
My grandmother used to make it when I was a kid. It was like an extra spicy raisin pie. I ate it and didn't hate it, but then, no one ever told me it actually had MEAT in it! I thought it was "mincemeat" in the same way that the edible part of a nut is "nutmeat." Once I had eaten it, it's probably best that I didn't find out what it really was.
- Mark "DerBingle" J
the mincemeat pies you get in the US are generally meatless.
- Joe Silence
I'll try it
- Rodfather
No, but what you can buy the filling (and mostly) what's made has changed from the original recipe. Still, its quite good if you like a very sweet pie. I recommend Nonsuch and Crosse and Blackwells. I would not recommend that you get the reconstituted (in the box) on your first go at it even though it is cheaper. It's rather nasty and will definitely put you off mincemeat forever. :)

I've never had mincemeat with meat in, only dried fruit. Tradition may have stipulated meat many years ago.

- Fa La La La Lindsay
Minced in England is what is ground in the US
- Ian May
but mincemeat (usually one word) is dried chopped fruit.
- Ian May
If one goes into an English butchers shop and wanted some ground beef, one would ask for mince, or minced beef.
- Ian May
@Melanie --What? Mincemeat involves Brandy? Well that explains a lot! @Joe --I shall cling to the hope that my grandmother's version did not, in fact, contain meat.
- Mark "DerBingle" J
Mincemeat can and does vary a bit between commercial brands, and home made (which some do lace with alcohol)

mincemeat pie is okay, but i'll go with apple or razzleberry or even cherry if i have to.

According to my copy of The Oxford Companion To Food, while mincemeat "rarely contains meat nowadays," it often did in the past. Some recipes today still contain suet. "The beef was sometimes partly or wholly replaced by suet from the mid-17th century onwards, and meat had effectively disappeared from 'mincemeat' on both sides of the Atlantic in the 19th century."

And yes, I own an 850+ page reference book about food.

Joe, still mostly corn though, after Nixon set up those huge subsidies for it back in the 70's. There wasn't HFCS before that.
- Ian May
HFCS is a particularly American thing too. You don't find it in European products for example.
- Ian May
i never found it in any food in SE Asia, either.
- Joe Silence
American meat is largely banned in the UK, due to the use of growth hormones. UK beef was banned here for a good while due to mad cow, It's a crazy world.

I consider this conversation both entertaining and educational ;) My grandmother rocked the mincemeat (in both pie and cookie form) every year around this time - and suet, suet, suet was the magic ingredient as it is with all the old recipes in our family. I don't even know how I would go about buying suet if I needed to.
- Holly Rae
Atora.
- Pete
Pete thanks for that. I will look into trying some.
- Melanie Reed
Holly - If you ask most butchers, they can get suet for you. I've seen it in one of the grocery stores here every now and then, but a butcher is your best bet.
- Katy S
And here is the clarified suet Pete is talking about available online: http://www.britishfoodshop.com/atora-s...
- Melanie Reed
Suet is the thick layer of fat found around beef kidneys.
- Ian May
Don't sell mince pies short -- see http://friendfeed.com/zeigen... -- delicious.
- Stephen Mack
usually it is made up of beef but you can also get it in chicken or pork flavour, i use it to make pasta sauce :)

I am not really as concerned with bad taste, as I am with no taste at all. For many reasons, music is incredibly important to me. I grew up literally surrounded by it, it has always helped me through my treatments and illness, and almost every fun time I have had has centered around it in some way. I must have someone who enjoys it as much as I do.

I'm a music freak and used to feel the same way about dating men with bad/no taste in music, but I got over it. When R and I started dating, he wasn't really into music much, but some of my taste rubbed off on him and he actually got into some bands and started bringing cool music to me. Win.

If my wife wanted to sneak out and go grocery shopping, I'd pretend I didn't notice her leave. :)

We are having Sonic blasts now. It's cold enough that the perishables in the back will last. FYI Morgan, the ingredients for toffee butter crunch are in the back, too. You deserve a million bucks, but you'll have to settle for yummy candy. Thanks all!

OH GUYS GUESS WHAT fall grades have finally been posted and I got an A in Illustration!!!! I can admit I was very worried about it especially when I realized like 3 days before the last class that I never completed my 2 point perspective project, oops. So I ended with 3 As and 1 B (in English Comp)

Nice job. I am sorry Phil made you get that B. You would have a 4.0!
- Louis Gray
I don't know how Phil could do that to you!!! Fantastic work, Andrea :)

Phil can do anything, but sometimes he goes mad with power! That is why I have a B!
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Yay!
- John Wang
I am though for real annoyed about the B but it was really the best I could do, it was based on how many final essays you wrote, and I just couldn't get that A one done. I guess I am happy enough to have passed it though.

yay!

Just had to 'yell' at Audrey for the first time: she was trying to grab my mother's yahrzeit candle off of the credenza. I sharply told her 'no' once; she looked back at me and, of course, defiantly went for it again. I raised my voice at her she started crying like mad then ran to Rochelle for comforting.

It's tough being the daddy. You often end up being the "enforcer" with mommy being the "comforter". But she'll love you for it when she grows up.
- Jason Huebel
What breaks your heart is when you yell at her and then she turns right to you for comforting. But it shows she knows you still love her.

Don't you know you're not suppose to say 'no' to a child. It breaks their spirit. #montessori
- Cristo
(Sidenote: I found "#montessori - Cristo" amusing. I know that's not how it's spelled, but I laughed nonetheless.)
- Jason Huebel
So is that how Montessori works? Because I personally feel like most "modern" education methods coddle the child too much. Children need to know and overcome failures. If they never fail, they'll never really know how to succeed.
- Jason Huebel
Jason, sort of. Montessori says not to say "no", but instead to say "stop" so the kid knows that they need to stop doing what they're doing. http://www.dailymontessori.com/montess...
- Rochelle
Cristo, what do you think I'm TRYING to do over here?
- Akiva Moskovitz
I'm okay with telling a child "stop", but let's be honest... Some kids need to hear "no". Some kids have to learn the hard way.
- Jason Huebel
I try to avoid saying "no," just because of the mental implications I've read about. I'll usually just say Hey or Stop or his name. No doesn't really work on my kids because they often need explanation as to why they must Stop or they feel compelled to ignore me.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I like "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" :)
- Cristo
LOL @ Cristo. @Rah, I think "no" and an explanation are just as good. "No" sets a definite boundary, which I think it part of my job. But that works with my kids. Might not for others.
- Jason Huebel
I can't wait until I have kids, so that when they turn about four or five, I can fuck with their heads. "HOLY SHIT KIDS, YOUR MOTHER, SHE'S COVERED IN BLOOD! YOU MURDERED HER!!!"

Has she snuggled to you yet Akiva? Or is she still startled? *heart breaking* (for Akiva, not for Audrey)
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, oh, she is definitely a daddy's girl. I come downstairs from my home office to get some water or something and she comes flying across the floor, saying, 'Da-da-DUH', and then grabbing at me to pick her up. And then? Big hugs and lots of happy squealing. It's an unparalleled feeling.
- Akiva Moskovitz
So she's over the yelling? That's good.
- Matthew DeVries
The thread drifted before I could tell my dolphin anecdote but I will anyway because I can. Researchers were researching dolphins' ability to follow instructions - correct answers got fish, wrong answers got told 'no' (which dolphins understood from previous experiments). Only the researchers had to stop telling the dolphins 'no' because when they did, the dolphins got seriously agitated (and agitated dolphins aren't any more fun to be around than horny dolphins, but that's another anecdote).
- Deborah Fitchett
When Audrey was especially tiny, maybe just a month old or so, I liked to hold her up and say to her in the sweetest voice possible, 'Just look at you! You're a fucking baby! Awww!'

About 15 years ago I was a Montessori teacher. When you are responsible for 30 2-3 year olds, and it's playground time, and your "bad" kids are threatening to jump off the tall part of the slide just to get your attention, and in the process making hard to pay attention to anyone else, the strong urge to say NO! is nearly overwhelming. "redirection" just doesn't cut it sometimes. Also, they pay Montessori teachers little more than crap, it's a step above day care.

We should have Montessori military bootcamp too.

And the "limit testing" phase begins... don't worry, it'll only last for another 20 years or so.
