give it a few years, it will change....
I remember a few years back it rained like 4 times in like 2 years...
now the damn rain will not freakin stop so I can ride my bike. It has
rained everyday for the last three days and there is at least a 40%
chance that it will rain for the next 7 days....
 
It is so damn stupid... All of my damn plants are going to die and it
is going to piss me the hell off because I just planted the little
buggers not even 2 weeks ago when there actually was a break in the
rain for like 2 days...

Must be the freight. Forget the exact price, but both are under $2 here.

I buy them 1-2 times a year on average but I plant the bottoms in
raised planters and snip what's needed 9 months of the year. Got my
lettuce started already and the green onions and chives are comming up
nicely.

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.
 
Oh, the best time to buy a TV is a couple of weeks after I do. The
price will be lower. I guarantee it.

Just some friendly advice.... Walmart or target has like a 55' TCL
(may be even bigger now) for like 3-4 hundy. I bought one about oh I
dont know a year ago and it is still working well.. sure it has some
quirks but it still is going strong. Oh wait I bought it about 1.5
years ago I remember now because about half a year after I bought it I
went to walmart on a black friday sale and they had a vizio surround
sound bluetooth speaker setup with a subwoofer for like a hundred
dollars and they usually run like 250 and now I have complete
entertainment system. I dont even pay for cable because there is no
use for it. I get my local channels through antenna for news and the
pbs stations and I add what ever network apps that I want. There are
tons of free ones that would literally allow me to watch movies or TV
series 24 hours a day everyday of the year without ever watching the
same one twice. Now I will say that I do pay for netflix and I do have
Amazon prime because I wanted the free 2 day shipping but you also get
the Amazon prime movies with that, so that's a plus. The TV though
updates regularly I remember my last "smart" TV was not so smart
because when youtube switched their software to a newer version of
html or whatever I could no longer watch youtube on my TV and that
sucks because there are tons of great cooking shows on there... I
watch americas test kitchen, tasty, munchies, sam the cooking guy...
along with several sailing channels and several bushcraft channels...
 
Anyway back to the TV, the quirks that I spoke of are sometimes when I
turn the TV on I dont always get sound through my vizio speakers and I
usually have to turn the TV of and back on again but I think there may
be a problem because the two are totally different brands.... because
the speaker system is supposed to turn on with the television but it
does not always do that.
 
And that is enough about that.

Illegal immigration usually comes about when people fear for their
lives, or cannot feed their families adequately. Very often leaving
home is the last thing they wish to do.

There is a legal immigration process.

I like the cashews (which I am not allergic to) from Nutz.com. Their chocolates are crap,
but the cashews were superior. That is the only kind of nut I have ordered from them.

well if you are looking for the precooked peanuts ya know the ones
with all the added chemicals, sugars, corn syrups, excessive salts
then you go right ahead and make planters or whatever company you
desire your go to nut, although I have to warn you. They may cause
discoloration of your private parts and/or graying of your pubic hair
and knee warts.

Of course. There is always an excuse why you can't follow any reasonable
advise. Bulk stores are very careful with their products. IF they went
rancid it was after you bought them.

That works for me. We often cook salmon fillets on the gas grill. We
just do them skin side down on direct heat. When the fillet is done the
flesh separates easily from the skin. I leave there to cool and then
peel it off and give it to the dogs.

I go pork too as the beef ones are never as good looking. Suits us
better I guess.

I am always amazed in the spring to see what has made it through and
what hasn't. I always push the envelope of course, and enjoy the
gamble. I have various thymes and French tarragon that seem to enjoy
NJ winters.
 
Early in the week my tulips were popping up all over. They are under
inches of snow right now, with another serious drop of it coming
tomorrow night. Never hurts them, but I always like to see how much
they've grown once the snow melts.

We acquired some great buckets this winter. Our driveway melter came
in 5 gal buckets this season, but the manufacturer was kind enough to
pack it in plastic bags within the buckets, so the containers are
easily re-used for gardening.
 
You can grow a nice tomato in a 5 gal bucket.

My French tarragon always goes gangbusters in Spring. It needs the
winter. I tried to overwinter some in the kitchen once but it did not do
at all well. It's a pity because roast chicken stuffed with tarragon is
delicious but hardly a mid-summer dish. I freeze it for winter use.

just get you a mortar and pestle. I sure you can get a small one for a
few bucks somewhere and then you will not ever have to worry about a
grinder again, you will have fresh cracked pepper and/or salt anytime
you want. Here is one for you for like 5 bucks

Sure, anyone with taste buds can tell the difference.
 
Back in the 1970's I had breakfast at the home of a business associate I
was going with that morning. He made eggs for us and had a pepper
grinder. I was so impressed with the taste difference I bought one for
us the next weekend. Pepper never tasted so good to me.
 
Ground spices go to bland quickly as the natural oils and aromatics
flash off.
 
As for organic foods, no one ever said they taste different, mostly they
are insecticide and chemical free.
 
Just finished breakfast. Had barely hard boiled eggs and put fresh
ground pepper and kosher salt on them. Damn, they were good. Made for
a heavenly experience.
God Bless.

I've been meaning to try the crockpot method. Do you set the crockpot
to Low? I have an old one, all it has is a Low, High and [keep] Warm
setting. I'm going to guess Low for the 24 hours?

I saw the winky, Gary, but to clarify I never said I couldn't imagine
waiting for cold weather to make *large pots* of anything. I said I
don't understand why some people only make/eat soup when it's cold
outside (aka Winter). I make and eat soup year round. :) Hey, I also
don't hesitate to use the oven in the summer. Heheh.
 
At any rate, it simply doesn't get that cold down here. The idea of
setting something outside to cool down before putting it in the fridge
doesn't really fit this climate.
 
> I freeze mine in lidded pint and quart containers.
 
I have lots of Rubbermaid containers in various sizes for freezing
things. I love how sturdy they are and how tightly the lids fit. :)

i'm wondering if Sjeef is jesting. i too am of german descent although i was born in canada. i take no offense at the term 'sauerkraut'.
