You don?t need silverware, the hot spicy meat comes off in your hands. 6 live babies 1 lb. smoked sausage 4 lemons whole garlic 2 lb. new potatoes 4 ears corn 1 box salt crab boil Bring 3 gallons of water to a boil. Add sausage, salt, crab boil, lemons and garlic. Drop potatoes in, boil for 4 minutes. Corn is added next, boil an additional 11 minutes. Put the live babies into the boiling water and cover. Boil till meat comes off easily with a fork. Oven-Baked Baby-Back Ribs Beef ribs or pork ribs can be used in this recipe, and that is exactly what your dinner guests will assume! An excellent way to expose the uninitiated to this highly misunderstood yet succulent source of protein. 2 human baby rib racks 3 cups barbecue sauce or honey glaze (see index) Salt black pepper white pepper paprika Remove the silverskin by loosening from the edges, then stripping off. Season generously, rubbing the mixture into the baby?s flesh. Place 1 quart water in a baking pan, the meat on a wire rack. Bake uncovered in 250° oven for 1½ hours. When browned, remove and glaze, return to oven and bake 20 minutes more to form a glaze. Cut ribs into individual pieces and serve with extra sauce. Fre |

Leviticus 26:29 Roast Child with Cornbread Stuffing Turkey may be substituted for this classic holiday feast.

Season liberally and lace with garlic cloves by making incisions, and placing whole cloves deep into the meat.

Southern Fried Small-fry
Tastes like fried chicken, which works just as well. In fact you may want to practice cutting up whole chickens for frying before you go for the real thing. Whole chicken is much more efficient and inexpensive than buying pieces. 1 tiny human, cut into pieces 2 cups flour Onion, garlic Salt pepper garlic powder cayenne pepper hot sauce, etc. Oil for frying Mix milk, eggs, hot sauce in a bowl, add chopped onion and garlic. Season the meat liberally, and marinate for several hours. Place seasoned flour in a paper or plastic shopping bag, drop pieces in a few a time, shake to coat thoroughly, then deep fry in hot oil (350°) for about 15 minutes. Drain and place on paper towels.

"Those who are ignorant about the English Language and its etymology, especially the Yanks and nerdy types, have introduced the erroneous plural, "Antennas"." Many words are rooted in formerly used languages. Today`s languages are determined by common usage. John D. Kraus, Ph.D., W8JK was one of the world`s foremost radio antenna authorities. On page one of his 1950 edition of "Antennas" his first sentence is: "A radio antenna may be defined as the structure associated with the region of transition between a guided wave and a free-space wave, or vice versa." The footnote to this sentence defines "antenna" in its zoological sense. Note the book`s title is "Antennas". Kraus notes that in England the usage makes no distinction and that both insect and radio antennas are "antennae" in the plural. In the U.S. it`s antennae for the insects and it`s antennas for radios. Webster created a U.S. dictionary due to independent usage of the English Language in the U.S.. It is a continuation of U.S. rebellion just as was the switch from tea to coffee. Experimentation finds converts on both sides of the ocean. If "Antennas" is good enough for Kraus, it is surely good enough for me. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |

You came up with this a few days ago, but did not,
or could not, substantiate your claim. The word, "Antena" appears in modern Greek, and arrived there in response to its widespread adoption by the World to describe radio antennae.

Using the Internet as a research tool is all fine and well, but it hardly constitutes the final say. Others could accomplish this I suppose, especially when I've offered the author of the translation and the period. Finding it on the net is neither difficult nor impossible, I just have it simpler with a good library and the OED not 6 feet away. Not only is it faster (consider how much time it has taken you to NOT accomplish anything), but it would eventually be the reference used by any link offered. ;-) Or - you can wait until Google does it for you (news item, American company is going to digitize the college libraries for the Brits). 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

What are you blabbing on about?
Why not quote the Greek words that you claim are the root of the Latin, "Antenna"? You come across as a bull****ting CBer. "Richard Clark" wrote in message ...

Unless this is the Special Olympics, filling in all the blanks for you wouldn't go very far to uphold the honour of an Englishman's command of the language. :-( Besides, I agree with Dr. Johnson's definition of Answer-Jobbers: "He that makes a trade of writing answers. What disgusts me from having any thing to do with answer-jobbers, is, that they have no conscience." Umm, you aren't missing a copy of Johnson too, are you? 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Punchinello, How generous by over half - but by only playing to the audience ;-) I'm sure they love the droll irony of that comparable praise costing either the deflation of vanity by reality, or ego's insufferable elevation against hidden desire. Truly a classic work of trollery in challenge.... I shall stand aside for the struggles between these Tritonic minnows. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
