Hi Duffy 
Epicticus and Steppy Boy same same
It's not obvious at all is it?
Trolling for reactions, how sad is that......
You've found your 'sweet spot' and we've found ours, so it's a win--win.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. |
Anyone cursing Oman needs a year in the Magic Kingdom for attitude adjustment therapy.  |

No sh*t Sherlock......
The stories I've heard from recent refugees of the Kingdom make the blood curdle and the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
Send Epicticus/Steppy to the Kingdom, I say!!!!!
Off with his head!
Well done Desultude for making a more viable life here |

Great to hear from more happy Nizwits!
When I was there, most of us were really happy there, too.
Oman rules! |

Well, Pik, you seem like a cheerful enough character, so I'm inclined to believe that the places is not as bad as some who have tried to characterize it.

| Turn back! Don't go to Nizwa. It's a horrible, isolated place. You are not going to like it there, believe me. |
Sounds horrible. Plagues of locusts, earthquakes, living in a shotgun shack with no a/c or water.
I will purge all thoughts of ever heading to Nizwar. |

Dear desultude,
Why not both - with chickens, to boot?
In a cookbook called International Cuisine, presented by California Home Economics Teachers, 1983 (ISBN 0-89626-051-, you will find:
Stuffed Camel
1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chickens, medium size
60 eggs
12 kilos rice
2 kilos pine nuts
2 kilos almonds
1 kilo pistachio nuts
110 gallons water
5 pounds black pepper
Salt to taste
Skin, trim and clean camel (once you get over the hump), lamb and chicken. Boil until tender. Cook rice until fluffy. Fry nuts until brown and mix with rice. Hard boil eggs and peel. Stuff cooked chickens with hard boiled eggs and rice. Stuff the cooked lamb with stuffed chickens. Add more rice. Stuff the camel with the stuffed lamb and add rest of rice. Broil over large charcoal pit until brown. Spread any remaining rice on large tray and place camel on top of rice. Decorate with boiled eggs and nuts. Serves friendly crowd of 80-100.

Dear desultude,
Yes, and for day 976, the recipe is bicarbonate of soda.
