Buy 3-4 osso bucco chunks from supermarket.
Chop an onion, carrots and celery and cook em till lightly suateed (sp?)...by that i mean still a lil crunchy. Once sauteed put em aside.
Brown osso bucco - not cook just brown them.
Then add 2-3 cups of water and some beef stock and put vegies back, salt and pepper, add a couple of bay leaves to taste then simmer for 30-40mins until most of the water is absorbed...
Im not just a pretty face.
P.S - Make sure u suck all that MARROW outta those osso bucco bines...Thats shits the shizzznit! so good for you too...Enjoy PC

Its not so much bacteria as loose blood cells.. .
sweet. So you can see em? sometimes i swear i can see their flagelums. Im not sure if thats physicaly possible tho.... heh
Moving Spots
The retina in humans (and all other vertebrates) is actually "upside down"—that is, the photoreceptors are at the back of the retina, and the blood vessels, at the front. (Interestingly, the retina in invertebrates, such as the octopus, is similar in structure but "right-side up.") Therefore, light reaching your photoreceptors has to travel through your blood vessels (and a couple more layers of neurons) first. You might think that this should mean that you would see your blood vessels and other retinal neurons in your vision all the time, but in fact you don't, because your photoreceptors are designed to detect changes in the visual scene.
Your eyes are making very small movements (jitters) all the time. Even when you think you are looking steadily at something, the image of the object is actually moving slightly on your retina so that your photoreceptors can detect it. But the blood vessels and neurons are truly fixed on the retina, so your photoreceptors adapt to the light levels filtered through them and do not respond to their image. When you are looking at a very unstructured visual scene, such as a blue sky, with nothing more strongly patterned to distract you, you can often see the white blood cells moving in your blood vessels, precisely because they are moving rather than fixed in position on your eye. Moreover, when an optometrist shines a light into your eye to check your retina, the light projects the blood vessel image onto a different set of photoreceptors in the retina. Those photoreceptors respond to the image, and you can suddenly see the network of blood vessels in your eye. Conversely, if you were to wear special goggles that corrected for the tiny jittery movements of your eyes so that an image from the outside world would be truly stabilized on your retina, the image would appear to fade away as your photoreceptors adapted to its constant presence.

I can get rid of that bacteria. Just come round to my house with a bottle of vodka and a coathanger and I'll sort it in no time. Piece o' piss!

Agreed, hence the "drink more water" thing. Love a good storm in a teacup, especially when the yanks get all uppity about such trivial garbage. Usually just before they go to their local bondage joint for a hand shandy in some crotchless chaps.
Irony.

double agreed. I thought it was a really effective piece of art. However........
the guy was obviously trying to cause controversey, otherwise he wouldn't have called it "piss christ".

fents! aren't you the knowledgeable one knowing how to do Osso Bucco! I am very impressed. Thanks for the tips!
I used a recipe from the Stephanie Alexander Cooks Companion book which was a bit like yours. I only did 2 huge osso bucco pieces and I floured them and browned them, added 1/2 cup of wine until bubbling, then 6 chopped garlic cloves, 1 cup chicken stock and 1 tin of tomatoes. Then wacked it all in the oven for a VERY long time.
Then I made up some Gremolata to go on top when serving. 1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsely, 2 garlic cloves crushed and 1 zested lemon all mixed together. YUMMM!
The dinner was superb except for not being ready until 10PM. LOL. I'm not much good with the timing, but the meat was lovely and soft by then!
Just because I rock, doesn't mean I'm made of stone.
Dinner and drinks both nights then a house party on Saturday night with my bro before he goes off to South America for 4 months. Gonna miss our weekly big steak and imported beer nights...

yeah I'm staying home because I'm ill (not in the sense that I've been illin but in the sense that I've been forced to do some hard core chillin).
I used to think I could sleep when I'm dead. Then I found that the fact that I wasn't sleeping meant that the whole death thing would arrive a LOT sooner than expected.
