Moi, just sent this last bit to all of us mods, I think he was upset about something but I could not tell, so I read this thread at the point of inquire and I am still confused, as a matter of fact this whole thread leaves me confused.

I am not familiar with the word "owened" and I cannot find it in my unabridged CD-ROM dictionary or Wikipedia. Is it a cooking term such as: baked, roasted, fried, boiled, etc?

Yes, and American and Americans STILL have MUCH to learn about TOLERANCE...

If WE would practice the Border example of Russia and Turkey with OUR OWN America and MEXICO border wouldn't the whole WORLD be a much nicer, friendlier place?

I commend Turkey and Russia for their tolerance and wish that someday America would be able to demonstrate this same tolerance with Mexico...

ah ah ah I have to remind that english is not mother tongue so sometimes i just try to translate it directly as it is from turkish that can be yes confusing

sorry for the gourmet kitchen terminology mess

kizahakan,

well thank to you for such a broad mind and view and perspective...

what mainly differ between Turkey and Russia and between USA and Mexico is, we (Turkey and Russia) still both developing in economical terms and it is good for both sides trying to increase the partnership in economical areas and tourism and plus since ottoman empire we have long term history with Russia and we need each other in order to progress together...

however we know the financial/economic situation of US, USA does not need Mexico to progress further so in your case it is once sided but in Turkish and Russian case I would say it is more mutual...

just wanted to express my views as an outsider to US... and again sorry for the linguistic inconvenience i could have made as english is my 2nd language

greetings from istanbul...respect mexicans and get well with canadians;)

OWEN! It's obvious (now!)...



Pastries are baked in an oven.

Meat or fowl is roasted or braised in an oven at the same time.

However, you can roast a turkey and bake potatoes in the same oven.

go figure.

English is a beastly language. Or should I say mongrel...

So many choices in it... Hidden meanings...

And if you turn up the heat you can broil a steak in that same oven,

I am sure you are better at English then we are in any other language. No need to apologize.

It gets even stranger. Take a leg of pig; put in 350 oven; you make roast pork. Take same leg of pig, cure it first and put in same oven and --- baked ham. But baked potatoes and roast potatoes are different dishes. Consistancy and little minds I guess.

Of Mexica and USA, and of Turkey and Russia.

It is even more interesting with Ukraine and Russia. To go to Ukraine from Russia, you do not need to have international passport and visa. But, the joke is, that at Ukrainian customs, if you do not have international passport, they stamp your internal passport with the date of arrival, automatically invalidating it .
