Yes. What puzzles me is why these people seem to want to be involved in the
details of my life!

The door that I keep locked is an exterior door. The interior bedroom door
is a pocket door with no lock. In general, I do not bother to close that or
the bathroom door. I only would if we had people in the backyard or the
family room, visiting and I needed to use the toilet or shower or change
clothes or something like that.

At least I know how to use measuring cups, boob.

Actually there is the garage door, front door, bedroom door, kitchen door
and family room sliding door. Plenty of ways in and out of here.

A little restraint in airing your dirty laundry and you
won't have people commenting on your bizarre family and
quirky ways.

Same here except it's a deck and not patio and family room and not living
room.

It's the same type of door as in the kitchen but for some reason they put a
different type of lock on the kitchen one. I don't have a pic but they have
wood frames and glass in the middle. Pretty silly it seems to me as a
burglar who didn't mind getting potentially cut could just smash the glass.

I'm thinking he thinks he needs to wet the key to apply the graphite.
 
When I was a kid, you could rub a pencil led over the part of the key that
gets inserted. But I gather that the pencils are now made of different stuff
and that won't work.

I was pointing out the difference in terms on both sides of the pond since
everyone seems confused for some reason. I was also referring specifically
to the image examples. Those are stainless steel measured pitchers, most
places, most days, in the US. That's all I'm saying. I don't understand why
that is still so hard.

Nobody in my life refers to anything as jugs. So I do not know specifically
what you mean. Especially if it is a measuring jug.

This is more of what I think of a jug as being:

I would call your milk container a one gallon milk container. Not a jug.
Maybe it's a regional thing?

Few recipes that I've seen would even refer to a pint. It would generally be
referred to as cups and we'd use a measuring cup.

Okay. I did see some pics but I have never seen anything like those pics
sold in any stores that I've been in, nor have I seen them used on cooking
shows or in anyone's houses. Must be something common over there and not
used here.

You actually measure stuff for soup? I don't. I have made jam, some years
ago. A small amount. Certainly not quarts. And I would venture to guess that
most people don't ever make jam.

Because we don't live in the UK. Apparently measuring jugs are what you use
there. We don't have them here.

My parents were Americans and I remember them referring to jugs of milk many times. These jugs were not like the moonshiner jugs that you refer to but just ordinary pitchers. When my Dad took a jug of water with him in the fields it really was a jug that he used. The terminology was somewhat flexible.

Red curry musses and shrimp over jasmine rice. I love this stuff.
 
A tree in my front yard split and fell about 4:30 this afternoon and
is blocking the road. So it's nice and quiet here. The City is
supposed to came and break it down but they're taking their good 'ol
time.

The only other place it appears is on a banquet menu at a country club
in Virginia. I can't find any connection between Joe Kelly and the
Greenbrier Country Club.

BTW: Here's the job description they posted for your new Executive
Chef so you'll know what to expect from the new guy. Lots of details
in the posting. Such as the average wage in their kitchen is $33K per
year.

You enjoyed watching him. Otherwise you wouldn't have been watching
him. You didn't HAVE to watch him, you know. Just like the time you
didn't have to watch and laugh at the crippled guy trying to get
groceries off of the supermarket shelves.

That's the butcher that supplies the tailor - who apparently lives
upstairs from the butcher according to the pictures.
 
The butcher also raises the pigs in there, too.

Good point. That would lower average gross salary to about 21K (even
less with paid vacations and health benefits). And does that include
servers? <shrug>
 
They also said food costs are 42% which is awful high. I guess that's
probably because they don't have to pay rent or any sort of
marketing/advertising, nor adjust for any significant seasonal cover
fluctuations. In which case they should be serving higher quality
food at 42%.
