I know the definition is loose. I don't call them croquettes but I knew
what Janet and Cindy meant when using the terms for various types of
potato pancakes.

Because they don't put innards in their burgers? Even if one agrees that a
Quarter Pounder is awful, at least it's not offal.

I haven't even seen too many potato pancakes in restaurants around here. I
have seen them a few times but would never order them as I have seen what
others got when they did. You just never know what they might be or what
might be put in them. In PA, you'll get shredded potatoes made into a cake.
Here, you might get something more akin to a pancake with some form of
potato in it but they're not even like the mashed potato kind. They're just
usually weird.

Agree. I have made the little mashed potato patties a few times. Even if I
try to doctor them up, they are just as boring as when my mom made them.
Fine, I suppose if I am broke and have no other food in the house but
otherwise, no. Thankfully, I wised up and realized that I am the only
mashed potato lover in the house and to make less than I think we will eat.
That's always the right amount.

Not only that but I think we did this before with Tater Tots where she kept
insisting that they were croquettes. Perhaps it is another matter of
calling something by a different name depending on where you live. I had to
look something up last night because I was unfamiliar with the name. What
made it even more odd was that it was a UK vegan dish but the real dish was
thin slices of meat in a sauce. The vegan thing was a cheese dish and
didn't even involve faux meat. But it said the American equivalent to the
word was "scallop".

Yep.
 
I will always remember the PBS series, Frontier House. When the rich
family finally moved back to their home digs, the woman (wife) went in
and hugged her washer/dryer. ;)

For pie crust I "cut" the butter into the flour with two dinner forks, putting every lump through a fork, When I can't find anymore big enough lumps it's finished.

My mother had an electric wringer washing machine and when
it finally bit the dust she was adamant she did NOT want a
new electric washing machine that would spin the water out.
After a few months of tripping off to the laundromat every
week my dad said enough of this shit and bought a new washer.
She loved it! Was such a time and back saver.
 
I still hang out sheets to dry as my bras, weather permitting.

I have one of those and I use it all the time to beat egg whites and
make whipped cream.
 
I can't picture using it to cream butter and sugar, though.

I remember having one of those. And a hand cranked meat grinder. And any
number of hand powered kitchen gadgets. Very hard to use. I don't think
we even thought about something like an immersion blender and how handy
it would be!

My mom always insisted on hanging clothes out to dry, and as kids that
was our job. I hated having to bring them in because there were always
spiders on them. I think that's why I hate spiders so much. Having the
feel of a web in the face if you weren't paying attention or one of
those vile beasts crawling out between the freshly made bed sheets.

Well, you'd love mine. They're red, black, blue, pink,
purple, beige, and white.

I don't remember ever seeing HPs on a Red Lobster menu, only the Cheddar
Bay Biscuits, LoVE THEM. There was a chain here in MD many many years
ago called Chesapeake Bay Seafood House and they always served HPs.
They had all you can eat items like crabs, shrimp, scallops and probably
other food but those were the ones I liked. Well, I only like the crab
claws.

I do that when my brown sugar gets rock-hard. The next day it's like

Yep. You can buy a little disc to put in there too but really, sugar is
cheap! I buy it in small amounts unless I know I am going to be doing a lot
of baking. No big deal if you throw a little away.

Do you know if you have a nightshade intolerance? Nightshades (bell
peppers, tomatoes I think, some other veggies) can inflame arthritis.

That recipe relies on a skin-on pork belly for it's cracklin crust.
The ones at Costco are skinless.

The price fluctuates between $2.29 and $2.69lb (around here) and they
weigh around 9-10 pounds.
