The Republicans nominate someone other than Bob Dole. They needed someone younger who could go toe to toe with Clinton's glib repartee. However, Clinton dropped some of the ideas that caused him to lose Congress in '94 plus the economy was pretty good and those things helped him a lot. So, if...

Mensch! Wow CB are any of these real? They sound great and I haven't had any lunch yet!

Rezepte Bitte! Okay, I'm going to take my own challenge and come up with a timeline for this. I'd like some help/ideas from the members though. I'd like some ideas for German recipes or dishes that would populate the menu of a high class German restaurant or Esshaus in the ATL. Good restaurant...

Good comments everyone. I'll try to get a of synthesis of ideas put together some time today. Interesting how many comments there are about English food.

Let's just keep her out of France as insurance We don't want the French to be better cooks then the English after all. ;) Here's an interesting tidbit on the history of French cuisine that I got from the web... "But the French were largely ignorant of these things [good food], until...

Yeah, it was the America. Took a heck of a pounding to do it too. Guess the navy was curious as to what it would take.

Now we're getting somewhere. Add to the mix a scenario where Catherine de Medici doesn't marry into the French royal family and bring italian influence into French cooking. Where might she end up in the German speaking countries that could help.

Well, we can give the French that, but the food in Germany could still be better if we work it right.

Actually, it can be done. I've researched it a little bit and there is a point of departure that could work. More than one actually, but you have to go back a ways. The Germans do have as good a start as the French did. Good wine, sausage, beer and bread. It does take some outside influence...

Iron Chef Sakai is Iron Chef German Create a timeline in which German food or Deutsches Essen is considered the popular and cultural equivalent of French Cuisine OTL. In fact, while you're at it, make French food the popular equivalent of English food in this alternate timeline. (No offense...

If this is true, why is the average life expectancy going up? Seems like the fater we get the longer we live. ;) Also, food is not a drug. Food that tastes good is popular. Food that doesn't, isn't. That being said, people need to use a little common sense. In a free society, you can't...

Wow. First President in Space. That would be really cool. Think the thing that hurt him though was some sort of scandle in the late 80's or early 90's. I'm thinking it was part of the savings and loan crash. Does anyone else remember that?

Or... Left wing press around the world starts reading the board and does a series of "Specials" and investigations on the posters. Especially when they find threads that show the South, Nazi Germany and other Fascists or hate groups winning their respective wars not to mention the Soviet Union...

What if... ...you don't get to pick your own secretary? ...your business is a family business, either yours or the boss', and hires family members? ...your secretary is otherwise promiscuous or a intervenous drug user on the side? ...your wife is your secretary? ...your wife is someone...

Thanks, I just might give that a try.

Danke Vielen Dank. Yours I understood. :) Grüße aus Amerika!

Übersetzen Sie bitte! Bedeutet das, "Schroeder is an ass in good german" or "Schroeder is an ass that speaks good german"? Oder bedeutet es etwas ganz anderes? Ich lerne Deutsch. ;)

I think he refers to a vote in the Continental Congress that was supposed to make German the official language of the United States. This was designed to complete the break with England. I've never been able to find out if it actually happened but it was supposed to have been put forward by Ben...

I'm glad your considering an carrier strike on Scapa Flow. I've always wondered what the Germans would have been able to do with a couple of carriers. As far as Oran goes, if I were the British I don't know if I'd trust the Itallians to do the job for me, but then again, we are talking about...

Mr. Bluenote, I'm really enjoying your timeline. Very well thought out. I have a suggestion for the use of your two carriers if the Germans can get them finished in time. What about a Pearl Harbor style attack on the British fleet at Scapa Flow, perhaps combined with a heavy bomber strike...
