Yes, raw, without added strong flavour.

I can't say for sure when it became widespread in Michigan. I've been
living in Ann Arbor since 1975. The town was full of hippies when I
arrived (and it's not all that different today). Yogurt was everywhere.

Amazing. To me, it was almost as common as milk or bread.

I read elsewhere that you've started gardening.
 
The ground is frozen solid here. Probably to a depth of about 3 feet,
since we've had a relatively mild winter overall.

Then you might as well put it in the blender and drink it

Tastes vary. I like the minimal amount to moisten the lettuce.
I hate getting restaurant salads that are overwhelmed by the
dressing.

Doesn't get any more culinary stupid to skin any fish prior to
grilling.

Much smarter to do like the ancients learned, place the fish on a
banana, cabbage, lettuce leaf.

Shoulda told hubby to wrap it around his 2" peepee and save the price
of a lubed condom... only plus is it'd smell just like you.

Wasted your dollars on frozen fish.... even a can of primo salmon
contains the skin and the bones. If what you want is skinned filleted
fish you'd be very happy with TIAD fast food fish on a bun.

Your dogs get the best part, the fat directly under the sin is loaded
with omega acids.;

>> my flat screen tv; the colours all of a sudden they started to run together. i thought about getting a repairman, and went all over the www for advice. i've been told that it's better to purchase a new one. so next week it's off to bestbuy. this tv lasted only 8 years. it's not the cable or the box it's the tv.
 
>So 8 years later, with inflation, your new TV will be twice the size and
>less than half the cost.
 
Eight years is a long time for a flat panel TV, most are lucky to last
5-6 years. And they are not truly reparable other than tweaking the
settings and that their tech can guide you through by phone. If it's
on cable your cable tech may be able to correct it. Often settings
can be impacted from a power outage, so it may only need to be
returned to factory settings.
 
>Oh, the best time to buy a TV is a couple of weeks after I do. The
>price will be lower. I guarantee it.
 
Yeah, but what if that is all the way out to Christmas, he may not
want to go some eight months with no TV. We've found the best deals
are at Walmart, they have an agreement with Vizio that they sell tv's
without certain features like Picture in Picture, no one uses that
feature anyway and you'll save like $200. We have four Vizios in the
house, all give an excellent picture and are long lived.
 
A hint to protect electronics is to hook each TV to its own APC
battery back up and an APC surge protector. A battery back up
prevents electronics from crashing, gives one plenty of time to power
down properly... and with cheapo stupidmarket surge protectors you're
just fooling yourself, gives a false sense of security when in fact
they really don't work after 2-3 power surges. I have my desk top PC,
all its perifials, and my 26" VIZIO TV protected with this:

This Element tv I have is a 24". Great for sitting on the little
table right near my bed. I keep volume low at night so like the
'closed captions'. Easy to read on a 24 inch from only 3-4 feet
from my face.
 
I'll probably go to a 32" screen next time but no larger. Even a
24" replacement would be fine with me. As you've seen now, all
the sale ads for tvs are only for HUGE screens and are a joke for
many cases. Ignore the large screens and go for a smaller one.
Prices are low now especially for 32" and under.
 
When it comes to televisions, bigger is not always better. That
depends on size of your rooms and how you use them. In my small
bedroom, 32" or less works well. No tv in any other rooms here.

I agree with the next size up. My 24" is small and only for
personal viewing in my bedroom. Even there, next one will be a
32" but no larger.
 
If I ever put one again in my living room it would be a 48". So
cheap enough on sale, these days. :)

Not having it on is what will annoy me. I like the background
noise.

Doesn't that music turned down annoy you? ;)

I eat soup in the summer, but my house is 71 F year round.
 
I give my electric bill a break by not using the oven in the summer.
That's what the gas grill is for.

It's just cooking it "lightly."

Making stock is not a new innovation. If she's behind the times, then
she's several hundred years behind the times.

I know why you do it. Best to make chicken stock as plain as can
be. That gives it a wide variety of uses in many dishes. I always
make mine plain.
