It goes something like "the written word takes the place of the absent Christ." I know he means absent in the sense of Christ's ascention and not being here physically but it seems so final worded in that way. As though Christ is absent and no longer touching our lives personally which simply isn't true. Know what I mean?

Happy Birthday Simon ze mostest

Hi Belle, I know you'll have a great time! I went there several years ago. If your travels happen to take you to Golden Gate Park I suggest you visit the Japanese Tea Garden. So pretty and serene! http://www.inetours.com/Pages/SFNbrhds/Jap...Tea_Garden.html

Hi Paw, I think there are a couple of reasons for the browning. First is visual appeal. I don't think you'll get that lovely browning from a slow cooker. Next is flavor. By browning you release some of the sugars that produce carmalization which provides more flavor. If you dredge the meat in a little flour prior to browning it will help convert the liquid in the slow cooker into a more gravy like consistency. I think I'm making myself hungry!

Hi Exie! This thread's gone to he11 in a "hand" basket

Hey David thanks. That is indeed what I was thinking about. I wasn't a kid when that commercial was made though. It was cute and clever! Another gravy memory. In the corps they sometimes served us millet with gravy on it. It really wasn't too bad but sometimes it had an odd grayish color to it. Boy Outfield, you got your request! This is definitely a different topic :)

Reading this gravy discussion is blowing my mind! Just today, while getting my dog's dinner ready, I thought about a dog food that was popular when I was a kid. The selling point was all you had to do was add water and it makes its own gravy. I think it was called Gravy Train or something like that? Is that stuff still around?

Thank you so much Darkhorse and Paw for posting this! I haven't heard these guys in so long. I loved them back then and love them now! When I heard the song Christ is Coming I was reminded of something. If any of you happen to have a copy of ROA '73 I'm in it rocking out to that song. If you see a close up of a girl with long brown hair wearing octagon shaped glasses you'll see Ohbehave I hadn't even had the class yet but man did I have a good time there! Thanks again and in the word of Exchathedra "mwah"

Thank you for posting the links But Now I See. He sure did know his Bible! Some of the things he said really touched me. Especially when he spoke about obedience. I am glad to get to know about Lonnie. I had never heard of him until what has been brought to light here at GSC.

Thanks WG :) I know the CR-V would be less money. When the time comes to actually buy I'll have a major reality check cost wise :) I am attempting to discipline myself and save each month as though I were making a car payment. I would love to not have to finance the whole thing. Hope you're having a most excellent day and thanks again!

Thanks Mr. Fiddle Picker :) I will definitely spend time at this site. It looks very informative. Sure like the looks of this SUV!

Boy am I having some wonderful memories right now! I went lightbearer to Muskogee my first year in the corps when those guys were there. Donnie Sm#ith (8th corp) was our fearless leader. Sure loved those guys!

Cool car Oenophile! It looks like it can really jam down the road. Thank you Chas and Belle for your suggestions. I'm not in too big a hurry so I'll definitely take time to check things out. Leather makes a lot of sense with the dog. I can see where it would be a whole lot easier to keep clean. I love the doggie but he does shed year round! My credit union told me they work with a guy from Enterprise car rental company. He looks for rental cars that are for sale for credit union members and I understand I can save some going that route. I'm just not sure yet if they own pilots, or any honda make for that matter, but will look into it. I hope everyone's having a nice evening and thanks again for the suggestions :) p.s. Oenophile if you happen to read this could you suggest a good organic red wine that's not off the charts expensive?

Thanks Zshot. The CR-V does look inviting cost wise. It's just that I have a german shepherd and am thinking of a larger car to take the dog and stuff for camping and such. I presently have a suzuki sidekick (4 door) and after having it for so long the thought of something bigger like the pilot sounds good. I appreciate hearing from you though! Thank you :)

Hi Everybody, ChasUFarley's minivan announcement inspired me to ask if any of you own a honda pilot. I've been considering this SUV for a long time now and thought this would be a great place for some first hand feedback. Thanks for any input. Love you guys!
