Boerenkool Stamppot (Kale Hash)

This Dutch recipe is a traditional peasants dish served on cold winter nights. It's hearty and a delicious way to get your greens. In the Netherlands it is commonly served with applesauce and pickled baby onions. It is also tasty garnished with a small "pond" of brown gravy in the center of the vegetable mixture....

err... yeah?? u say tobacco 'funded' the American War of Independence??

Hey I don't disagree... there were many factors in that conflict,,, no doubt Scottish 'barons' played a major role ....

So are you saying this?? - Legal drugs could FUND an independent Australia.!!

Again, I don't disagree. But most folk on this forum are obviously very scared of change...
guess we'll see what happens?? if anything.!!

Reply #529 - Apr 10^th, 2012 at 10:29pm more likely have a civil war before anything 'independent'. Keeping the Union Jack on the Flag is more like us keeping 'them' prisoner I just think that when big changes happen - other big changes follow like a 'chain' reaction.

talking about the flag- our Flag.....

Use the Eureka Stockade flag.... with an aboriginal symbol inplace of the Union Jack.

Which one?
I think i'd like the Horizon symbol, where the colours, and the vista in miniature , represent the sovereignty of the land.

If I was any good with computers I'd do a 'mock-up', but I'm not, so I won't.!!

It did in a 'Union' sort of way,
but more like a 'Yankee' Union
...down here in the 'south' Wink

The designer of the 'Koori' (one tribe) Flag,
doesn't really like the idea of it being used for 'nationalism' and upon a 'new' Flag.

...also, why replace one 'political' minority
with another minority that in true essence
isn't 'political' but more 'land' orientated in their
existence as a people.

New Zealand should be phasing out tobacco, and cigarette exports should be banned not increased, a public health professor says.

His comments come as news that Imperial Tobacco's Petone Factory is quadrupling its exports to Australia.

The latest poll shows 64% of New Zealanders agree with him.

ANSWER ......Never. NO !!! I meant, if it was thought necessary to further 'identify' the NEW flag as AUS - that symbol would be lovely. But, hey if its an issue ... in the place where the UNION JACK is NOW, which could be used as that visual additional identification - many symbols could be possible.

Thinking about it now - I think I like to see the silhouette of a "Woomera" against an ochre blank square. or like that.!
Jeez full of ideas me.!

.

now THAT was an exercise in cut and paste + quotes ,,good grief.!

Interesting.
My take on that - is restrict tobacco sales and legalise pot. So old tobacco junkies can do their thing, but enabling a non-addictive substitute to be freely available.

Makes sense to me.!

Don't quote me on this, but I have this sneaking suspicion that the said public health professor has a different take on it.

I would doubt very much that the public health professor has any first hand knowledge of being a tobacco user vs. a pot user.

Facts and figures have never deciphered any real meaning...and that's why we have "democracy".

Democracy is to allow order to evolve from apparent disorder.
If you don't like it, then vote for a dictatorship.
