Based solely on the popularity of the Twilight series it seems that what women want is an old fashioned gentleman capable of killing them who chooses not to .

Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

1 x Leek - Sliced
2 x Cloves Garlic - Sliced
3 x Tomatoes - Diced
1/2 x Butternut Pumpkin - Diced
2/3 Cup x Red Lentils - Cleaned, sorted and rinsed
4 Teaspoons x Stock Powder
1 Teaspoon x Ground Cumin
1/3 Teaspoon x Ground Turmeric
Black Pepper Ground to taste
Olive Oil
Boiled water

Cover the bottom of a large soup pot with olive oil. Brown the leek and garlic. Add the chopped tomatoes and stir into leek and garlic. Add pumpkin and enough boiled water to cover the pumpkin. Stir and add lentils, cumin, turmeric and pepper. Cover and simmer for about an hour. Stir frequently to avoid lentils sticking to the bottom. Add more water as required.

Prior to serving use a stick blender to blend all ingredients to a thick, creamy consistency.

It's hard to eat Lime Yogurt during cold season, reminds me too much of what's coming out of my nose...

It's funny they need a six digit pin to access my phone messages but only four digits to access my money.

I think one of the most annoying phrases in current use is "... to raise awareness ....". What the hell's that mean?

Every now and again, I feel my phone ringing (vibrating) and I reach into my pocket only to find out that the phone is on the desk in front of me. What is wrong with me?

Maybe it's like a phantom limb thing? You may be getting too attached to your phone .

I get this all the time too. It's like your brain pays more attention to the nerves in the part of your leg which the phone rests against and the result is lots of false-positives.

That's not a bad theory at all. Makes me want to ask a neurologist...

I think a lot more things like that get programmed in. When a nursing mother's baby cries, she begins to dribble milk; ready to roll.

If the world's leading scientists want to come to my house and explain global warming, they're going to need a dog team and a sled to do it !

I presume that somewhere on their way back from your house they will discover that one data point is all that's needed to prove or disprove a scientific theory.

I'm with AEH ditto the dog sled. We're getting the Northern version of the storm that's dumping on him.
