I don't remember. Do you have an e-reader or tablet? Do you know
about BookBub? You can get all the free books of your interest that
you could ever want. My Kindle must have 40 unread books in it.
https://www.bookbub.com/home/
I've been with them forever and I don't know why I thought of you
today.
You pick your interests. They send you 6-8 daily offerings via email.
Some are free, some are $.99-I haven't seen anything more than $3.99.
You select or not- whatever.
You can buy a tablet, e-reader or Kindle for $50 and up.
Just sayin'

I'm pretty sure that Kuthe sat on his lazy, semi-retired ass during the
primaries because if he had been volunteering for Sanders, I'd have run
into his pathetic ass. He talks, but there's little action. Canvassing
would have cut into his wanking time.
 
Every poll out there says that Sanders beats Trump by a far greater margin
than does Clinton, and the GOP is stuck with Trump.

Nevertheless: post something vegan or vegetarian in this group, and
you'll get an unfriendly reaction.

I forgot the smiley. Kids just eat what their parents give them. But I
do think meat eaters are behind in moral development :) A bit like
people who continued slavery after they could have known better.

I wish they had it at mine. I was there yesterday and actually looked,
as I had seen a couple of recipes the past week.
 
This is not a breeze and I have not tried it, but I have had it at
Momofuku and it is to die for.

What I understand and you do not, is not every use of mashed potatoes

What I understand is that you do not read. See above for "patties"
Patties are not exclusive to your neck of the woods either.

If one duck yields "6 meals", how do you feed 3 ppl 3 meals? I mean
--c'mon!-- 3 times 3 is 9.
 
Me? I never usta like duck. That is, until I tasted a great roast
duck. There's a resto in Sacramento, CA, named The Rusty Duck
...or Rusty Scupper.... Rusty somethingorother. I ordered my first whole
roast duck. It was awesome and I ate the entire bird. It was neither
too greasy nor too fatty.
 
I later learned how to cook fine duck breasts and, later, make a confit.
Still, not as many ducks in my life as I would like. ;)

Ah sorry. Duck is a bit special in how you have to cook it. Lower
temp after fir5st hour for example and start breast down then flip,
reduce temp to 275, wait an hour then flip (same temp), then add more
sauce if needed (depends on what you did), flip and another hour. When
it seems almost don, final flip to breast up then uncover. May want to
high sear that last bit at 400F.
 
A duck has to be raised out of it's fat when cooking. Hence the
picture showing it in the oven. I'll make another picture of the rack
base later when I can (it's obviously in use right now). This one is
the flat rack that holds the duck about 1.5 inches above the glass
bottom pan. I have another that is V shaped and makes flipping easier.
 
If you coooked one like a chicken, sitting in it's fat, that is what
went wrong. Also, though I have never done it, apparently duck can be
very tough if cooked at too high a heat?

In my experience, domestic duck is delicious, and wild duck is nasty, too
nasty to cover up, no matter what.

I tried the brew shop as well and couldn't get what I wanted. Then I
tried a food co-op and was able to get non-diastatic malt powder and
non-diastatic malt syrup. (Man! that syrup has got to be the
stickiest thing on the planet) I was finally able to get diastatic
malt powder at King Arthur flour. I liked what it did for dough that
spent some time in the fridge.

Spendthrift: a person who spends money in an extravagant, irresponsible
way. (cf: Dennis "I can't stop spending my money frivolously" Johnson.)
 
In 2008, when his father finally kicked the bucket, Dennis Johnson was
given three-quarters of a million dollars, set up in an irrevocable
trust fund. Such trusts are also known as Spendthrift Trusts
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spendthrift_trust). At the time, Dennis
was 50.
 
In addition to his principal assets, the money held in trust that is,
Dennis held about one hundred thousand dollars under his
"supervision"—what we might call his "liquid holdings." Said assets
consisted of a Chase Bank Savings Account (what we used to called a
passbook savings account back when the banks paid interest) and an IRA
account (of unknown value). Dennis was doing "good" by continuing, up
until recent times, to make yearly contributions to the IRA.
 
BUT, LIKE THEY SAY……..SHIT HAPPENS.
 
Now, it's no secret that Dennis has an ongoing gambling problem (he
admits this). He also admits some past problems involving certain
Korean women and massage parlors along E.C. Boulevard. Although the
Koreans are no longer a problem for him—having kicked his silly ass to
the curb several years ago—the Indians still remain something of a vexation.
 
"Uh, hey Chief. . . Looky there, isn't that heap stoopid dipshit Dennis
coming to spend more IRA money again?"
 
"Hey, you be quiet, Laughing at Paleface. We got kids at Harvard. We
need money from stupid white trash."
 
 
"Well, Mister Johnson, I'm afraid that'll be a twenty-five percent
penalty," the H&R Block guy said. "By the way, if you had waited just
one more year, there wouldn't have been any tax consequence . . . er, sir."
 
Ah shucks," said Dennis, twitching a little more than usual.
 
"But, the good news is that we can write off most of your gambling
losses…. Hmm, you must be some big gambler. . . Well, there ya go. I'm
done, Mister Johnson. Here's what ya owe the IRS, by the way. Consider
your taxes filed as of now. Just don't forget to send 'em that check or
they'll charge ya interest."
 
 
April 15, 2018
 
Dear Diary,
I think I saw Dennis the other day. I was waiting at the light on
Pacific Highway. I looked across the road, over at the group of
homeless "veterans" gathered around a bottle of MadDog 20/20, when I saw
him. He was a terrific sight—unshaven, filthy, with pimples all over
his face. Which might have been Kaposi's sarcoma sores. At that moment
the light turned and I drove off, thinking about the old saying "A fool
and his money…."
 
 
THE END
 
This article is dedicated to the memory of Dennis' liquid assests: 2008
– 2016.
May his liquidity, and the souls of the faithful, REST IN PEACE.
AMEN.
