I know a place.....Jack Dempsey's. Family place, everybody minds their own business. It's perfect for us.

Maybe we can just eat in. I can make you my famous spaghetti. You might learn something. You never know, you might have to cook for twenty guys someday. You see, you start out with a little bit of oil. Then you fry some garlic. Then you throw in some tomatoes, tomato paste, you fry it; ya make sure it doesn't stick. You get it to a boil; you shove in all your sausage and your meatballs; heh?... And a little bit o' wine. An' a little bit o' sugar, and that's my trick.

I know your opinion is that those who enlist are a bunch of saps....they give their lives for strangers. But I don't agree with that.

DDD, DDD, DDD. You really need me when it comes to all things Italian. First, you misspelled Cosa Nostra. Now, you've done it again:
It's spelled d-e-g-o.

Back to the original post, this story "broke" long after the photo was printed. The Spanish team was contacted by Spanish officials and said it could be deemed racist. They agreed to contact the Chinese in advance and apologize before they even saw the photo. Then they took measures to stop it from being printed anywhere in China, and stopped the Spanish printing, to keep the audience minimal.
After the fact, it was the media who wouldn't let it die. Most people knew nothing about it until some sideline reporter showed the photo during the basketball game during Team USA and Spain, and relayed all of the above info. And it just took off from there. Spain and China had already made amends and did their best to retract it. It was a non-issue between those countries. But somebody in the NBC broadcast booth wanted their audience of 300,000,000 to know about it. |

In Quebec I learned ot make it with maple syrup. Of course, everything is made with maple syrup there which is why, I beleive, almost no one over 40 has all of their own teeth.
