Squid defeated. Cue the salmon.

Much less miserable today. I think aquafit and a nice grilled salmon dinner (see below), plus all your *hugs* and kind words did the trick ( Read more... )

Stick to your knitting.... mind your own business?

I'm glad you are liking Kings - we haven't watched it yet, we taped it.

That's exactly what stick to your knitting means.

Kings...I can't even. I really think I love it.

My first thought was "stick to your guns" but I think it was just "stick" that got me there.

And re: Kings (we haven't watched it yet) but apparently it didn't get very good ratings and is NOT getting ER's Thursday night 10pm slot, so I wouldn't hold out too much hope for it.

I had a whole discussion with crimsonquills and aureliapriscus once about whether salmon involving maple is something that appeals to me or not. I tend to put it under the category of 'wacky Canadian Cuisine' (kinda like poutine), but this recipe sounds good.

I've always thought 'Stick to your knitting' meant 'don't bother yourself with man stuff'.

Thank you for the rec. I'm blushing furiously over here. :)

Apparently "stick to your knitting" means focus on your core business. I took it the same way you did. How many men (especially business men) knit??

The salmon has a very Asian flavour to it. Only mildly wacky. And I don't like poutine.

Hmmm... from "stick to your knitting" I get:

Butt out; this doesn't concern you; you don't have what it takes for this.

Something along those lines.

Mmmmm, salmon. *drools all over your LJ*

My gut reaction to "stick to your knitting" was "get back to the kitchen, bitch." However, it is apparently legitimate business-speak for "focus on your core business and don't try to expand too quickly."

I still think it sounds derogatory.

Let me know if you (or agentotter) tries the salmon.

I was initially thinking*-keep doing what you're doing, ie don't quit.

*until I read some other responses just before I wrote my post.

Your initial reaction is apparently what this phrase means to business-types. I didn't take it that way.
