I used to cut the huge ones with this frightening looking speed blade saw that looked like something out of a bad Batman movie. I always loved halibut more than any of the other more expensive exotic fish.

Thanks for the recipe. Will print this out for home...

How big do they get? I've never seen a halibut in its state of nature.

Is that what went wrong at Cheney's company?

I bought some salted butter by accident a few months ago, and I think I ended up throwing most of it away, because it tasted awful.

Wow, matter of taste. I can't stand UNsalted butter: bland, bland, bland. De gustibus non disputendem est, or some similarly-pronounced thingie with different letters in it.

Salted works better on bread, to my taste buds.

Um. Ammonia cookies?!?!?! What on earth are those? Snackage for your friends from Jupiter? Or is that just a name?

If it's just a name, what've they got in them? And why are they called that?

As Nimoy was forced to say again and again, fascinating.

You may be freaking out about using such a noxious compound in cooking. Don't. One of the most common ingredient in cooking is made half of a metal that reacts violently with water, and another that was used to kill thousands during WWI.

No, it's not the "noxious compound" thing (though your analogy leaves something to be desired). After all, pretzels are (or used to be) made with lye. It's the idea of eating cookies after filling my kitchen with the smell of stale pee. Or Windex. It's the association, not worries about the compound.

Not that I would hesitate to eat the cookies if someone else baked them. Unless they still smelled like that, in which case I would squick big time.
