Women's Studies and Native Studies seem to be quite popular these days.
There are lots of government jobs that seem to attract their graduates.
I wonder if it has a lot to do with the politics and empire building
that are endemic to universities these days. Things like that used to
be part of the History or Sociology departments. Each department has a
chair, and the chair gets all sorts of bonuses, a bigger office, more
perks, higher salary, more prestige. I studied physiological psychology
and comparative animal behaviour, and my degree is in Psychology. Who
knows what it would be if graduated in 2019 instead of 1974.

Many years ago, you needed no special education, just a little ability
to do a good job at the factory. In one instance, I started in the
office at one of those factories right out of high school. It was
minimum wage, but it was also a path to other jobs in other departments.
I left there as a supervisor over 45 workers.
 
Typical of factories, the workers made enough money to buy a modest
house, drive a modest car, eat well, keep their families fed, clothed
and schooled.
 
In 1970 that company moved south to save money. The number of jobs like
that began to dwindle. The world has changed, be it good or bad, adapt.

That's alright. I have many faces. I can afford to lose one. But it's
true. I work hard. Nothing to brag about, on the contrary maybe, just
a fact.

It's like a big Ponzi scheme. It starts up with one generation. They
pay into a pension fund as they work and they have a bunch of kids. The
kids start working and contributing. The first generation retires and
starts collecting and their kids' generation is paying for it. Then a
third generation comes along and there are even more paying. But then we
started having smaller families. Manufacturing starts going overseas
where the jobs pay less and they don't have pensions. Some of the jobs
are being done by robots, and they are contributing or paying any taxes.

They can go live in a ghetto and resort to crime and drugs, because
they have nothing to lose anyway. And then we spend a lot of money on
a police force to control them and fight the drugs. The Republican
Solution.

Everybody's selfish, but if too many people are too selfish, you get a
disfunctional country.

Yup! Tumeric was only for color BTW, has almost no flavor.
 
It's totally fine if she doesn't like what I'd do but the cost of
scallops means this would be a special meal so we'd take time to make
it pretty. Above the items that were separate, got all mixed together
somehow. (beets and mushroom dish? Ick!).
 
I'd have picked 3 off the list and the spice load is low on all of
them. I probably phrased it wrong thereby causing confusion.

What confusion?? It was clear enough to me.

Yeah, and then someone has to go pick up what's left of him. Not a

Even fresh water fish is better from cold water. There used to be a
trout farm near here. They tasted a little muddy in the summer but in
the winter they were much better.

What about off season?
parkstreetbooboo@gmail.com: Feb 28 08:05AM -0800

i like this one:
(note that i use double the amount of garlic, and added some finely chopped ginger. the last batch, i did not use lemon juice because i didn't have any.
could it be improved with parmesan cheese? maybe a bit of anchovy? and i only used 1 TBSP of raw honey.

btw, i did not use 100% olive oil. it solidifies in the fridge. i used about 1/3 part olive oil, to 2/3 part flax seed oil. the dressing gets thick in the fridge but does not solidify.

> i like this one:
 
Those all sound good. I prefer to make dressing every time I have
a salad. My dressings are pretty plain, because I like the taste
of the vegetables in the salad.
 
This is probably my most frequently used:
 
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon water
a good shake of iodized table salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
 
A variation on that is:
 
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
 
 
Then there's this dressing, which usually is two servings:
 
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon seasoned rice wine vinegar
a shake of salt
3 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil
 
 
If I just want to wing it:
Juice of 1/4 or 1/2 a lemon
Salt
A couple glugs of extra-virgin olive oil
 
 
When I'm feeling nostalgic, here's one that reminds me of
childhood, but with better ingredients:
 
1 teaspoon cider vinetar
1 teaspoon water
A shake of Penzey's "Forward" herb/spice blend
1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
 
 
Ranch dressing (nearly the only one I make and store), adapted
from the Joy of Cooking:
 
1 pint of buttermilk
1-2 garlic cloves, mashed to a paste
minced parsley
minced cilantro
minced chives or scallion tops
salt
pepper

I don't mind unsalted dry roasted peanuts at all, even though I like
salt. They're tasty! I don't want weirdly seasoned peanuts. Or
seasoned seeds (as in sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds; I snack on
those, too). No thanks to Ranch, BBQ or whatever other things they've
come up with. Salt only, please. :)

I agree. And the commercials I saw showed "Mom" serving it to her
young children for breakfast (Nutella spread on toast) before
leaving for school. wow and yikes!

I have never eaten Nutella so I have no idea what it tastes like, but why do
you make it sound so poisonous?
 
Surely it is not or it wouldn't be on sale?

This winter my husband had a back injury confirmed by X-rays. He was
in incredible pain. I even took him to the emergency room once he was
able to stand. All the offerings were Tylenol only. That's just
plain cruel.
When I had my right shoulder surgery in 2010 I got prescriptions for
oxycotin by the handful. There must be a decent compromise on the
prescriptions.

The dentist declined my request for something stronger than OTC meds
... all the media bullshit about "the opioid crisis in America" has them
all afraid to prescribe for real issues . While a lot of folks get
hooked initially on prescription medication , that's not the big problem
. The problem is the illegal/illicit stuff . I'm very careful with that
stuff , I got a little overboard many years ago while overseas and don't
ever want a repeat .
 
Snag
 
Yes, I have been hearing about that. I am very pleased there is
not quite so much trouble here about them. I have to take opioids because I
have no choice. I am very careful though. I make sure I can't have so many
that I become addicted.
 
That shouldn't stop you having decent pain relief though:(

Jeeze. My husband is on 30 mg of hydrocodone every damned day.
You'd think your husband could get something better than Tylenol.

You may not see them, but I bet they're there. They should have gone
out with the "savory" molded jello salads of the 60's. If I'm going
to make or eat a cheese ball, it's going to be rolled in nduja. As
far as I know these don't exist yet, I just invented it 30 seconds
ago. It would probably be practically illegal to make such a thing
in Italy just(bastardized cheese, then rolled in meat? Might as well
try and sell it Kosher jews). Mascarpone would work since it needs
to the flavor help it can get.
 
As for spreadables, Wispride was always better than Kaka-huna. Bel
already started to fuck up Wispride in 1995 when Bel bought them.
So when Bel wanted to buyout/merge with Kaka-huna, Kaka-ghuna was
more than happy to putt the nail in Wispride's coffin by fucking
putting Kaka-huna in Wispride tubs. It worked, and got rid of their
competition.
 
And don't get me started on Bel and their signature "Laughing Cow"
cheese. I find it hard to believe people buy that shit in France
(where it's made). Well, except foe the French Vietnamese.
 
Best cold-pack cheese products are Black Diamond (Canada). But the
32oz tubs at the club stores are a better quality formulation than
the 8oz tubs you may find closer to, and within Canada. The
Chardonnay White Cheddar was something special, but only sold at
Sam's Club a couple-few years ago.
