It's my tough luck, then. There's no Internet Explorer for my computer. It looks like another case of Microsoft fanatics deliberately planning incompatibilities. My computer is Unicode compliant, so it takes a specific effort to make a site that my system is incompatible with. I routinely send e-mails containing Cyrillic and use that alphabet in other Internet media, so only systems that were consciously designed not to work with universal web standards will block my Cyrillic. |

MIchael,
There you go!!!
You came from the back, but you got it!
Thanks a zillion my best net-friend I've ever had, but this thing is not solved until I found the same meaning of that stupid word I made up.
This became my mission, and I'll be more than happy if I know you by my side,bloodbrother
One's for all, nothing can stop us, no smoking alowed in this building!

Hi Spencer!
I?m thinking about your mission all the time and I can?t fall asleep before you, dear friend, haven?t found the solution,  or have you yet?
So, what about hand over into the water? It?s not just one word, but as you know English can be fussy sometimes, can?t it? 
Tell me what you think about that, so that I can have a good sleep again!

Hi Michael,
Actually I've find something,but I'm not sure if it's the right one. "the meat dissolves into the water"
Do you think it could work?
If it's good, then we just finished the mission of our life, so it's time to commit seppucu.
I was in Sturuvo again with my wife to drink some beer, and have some fun at the beach, and eat some good food.
(And drink some beer, if I didn't mention it yet)
There is a small willage, Salka, about ten km. from Sturovo, and there is a little restaurant, now THEY sell draft Budweiser, and it's the best beer anyone can wish for.
I drank Budweiser last week in Budapest, but it's total different, I just can't believe I have to drive 50 km. for a good beer.
The question is :
Why can't they sell good Budweiser in Hungary?
The second question:
Can a piece of meat DISSOLVE into water?
Who cares? WHY DON'T WE HAVE GOOD BUD?

The Budweiser beer brewed in the Czech Republic (also called Budvar) has been made in the city of Ceske Budejovice for many centuries, so long that no one ever bothered to get official trademark protection for the name. Then in America, in the 19th century, a German immigrant named August Busch took the name Budweiser and gave it to his own beer -- AND he officially registered it as a trademark. So you have the bizarre situation where the newer company officially owns the name of a company that is much, much older. Every time one of them starts exporting to a new country, there is a lawsuit over which one can use the name. In some countries the Czechs win, and in other countries the American chemical company wins. Some countries allow both companies to use the name, so for example, in England when a menu offers Budweiser you can't know without asking whether it's the delicious Czech beer or the watery, bad-tasting American one.
It's possible that the Budweiser you had in Hungary was American Bud. |

I fail to see how water can dissolve meat (who would want to dissolve meat, anyway?) -- I know it's just an excuse to drink beer while waiting for it to happen (but you're far more likely to develop an enormous beer belly in the process) !
Now, have you heard about the Coca Cola legend? Coke is supposed to be able to do that and more: from dissolving meat, nails, coins, teeth, etc. to cleaning toilet bowls!
Hmm, you’d better go on drinking beer, to be on the safe side... |

But who would want to even try to dissolve meat in cola when orange juice or lemon juice will do the job just as fast (and maybe even faster)? Also, using orange or lemon juice to extract the meat flavor would probably taste better, too!
But I've heard you can also use beer as a main ingedient in marinades. So, beer seems to be the best solution for all of your eating and drinking needs, Spencer!!! 
By the way, what about using the word extract rather than dissolve? On the other hand, it seems like the marbling in the meat might dissolve in water...

Cheers! |

Even if you heat it, I guess some days, at least before the meat is dissolved in the water. As I?m not a cook, although I sometimes spout in to one?s soup
