I am going to try to get my plants in today (cucumber, tomato and
peppers) We are having a warm week with temps in the mid-70s. We
will have rain throughout. Hikers and bicyclers are not allowed on
any paths in the foothills. The paths are so wet any travel will
damage them and cause runoff problems as well. So far the creek is
behaving mostly because it has been so cold at elevation that melt
off is slow. I can't plant corn or beans yet as the soil is too cold
and seeds will rot in the ground. The weeds are growing fine.

Sale coupon so I bought one.
Nathan's, "The Original Coney Island Deli Style Mustard."
 
Tried it yesterday on a couple of dogs with
Mustard, onions, relish.
Excellent tangy taste.
 
It reminds me of the hotdog mustard they served in large
sports stadiums which I always loved.
 
I'll take you back in time....In the mid-60's...Washington
National Stadium...home baseball games featuring the "Washington
Senators" baseball team. Star home run hitter then was Frank
Howard.
 
The stadium is gone now and their baseball team is now called the
"Washington Nationals," I think.
 
Anyway... good mustard, imo.
 
Bruce should like the ingredient list too:
Vinegar, water, mustard seeds, salt and turmeric.

Does it specify gluten free? If it does not then it surely has more
chemicals/ingredients than that.
 
Beside I just like a good Dijon that is gluten free

Is there a medical term for a pathological fear of gluten?
Glutophobia?

I agree, but since he emphasizes "REAL wasabi", I was curious.

That may be but Memorial Day, as with Remembrance Day, is all about

Actually, I was singing God Bless America when a foreigner told one of
our citizens, a veteran, not to express his opinion. People from other
countries tend to be jealous of us.

Not many Europeans among them though :) They tend to consider the US
the bottom of the barrel amongst western countries.

Back when I was in Jr.High and HS, we had a choice of foreign

sure wish I had picked Spanish now.

Yeah. I know that one too. A couple local schools have some kind of
charity walk once a year. There are hundreds of them, and they are all
over the road. They aren't even bright enough to stick to one lane of
the road, even though the road is still open. What is especially
annoying is to be driving along well below the speed limit and to have
their chaperones throwing hissy fits waving and screaming for me to slow
down, but saying nothing to the kids.

The last really annoying one had adults walking all over the road and
when I complained? "We're doing it for the troops!" So fucking what!!

The troops have been dodging bullets for a whole summer, so they can
misbehave any bloody way they want to. Didn't you know that?

The battery operated are good for about 10 hours. With no power you
cannot recharge the battery then you are SOL. Same with oxygen
machines. We have a battery one but the same potential problem. I also
have portable tanks and can get 24 hours total out of the three of them
but in an extended outage, you still need power to fill them to 3000
psi, about a 2 hour process. At $300 a tank I'm not inclined to buy more
tanks when I can get a generator for $500 to do it all.

I just did that and yes, there is one about 30 miles from me. Since
they serve an area of about 600,000 people I imagine they will save a
block for me.

A $500 gemerator is a very noisy toy. It's much easier and cheaper to
recharge with a vehical's cigarette lighter. And O2 generators
operate on battery packs that are easily recharged the same as battery
operated tools. It costs a lot less to buy an extra battery pack. Of
course it you are out of power for days you are screwed but that very
rarely occurs, just keep your vehical's fuel tank topped up... the
usual power outage in the US lasts for minutes, some for a couple of
hours. If there's a drastic weather incident like a tornado there is
nothing a generator can do... buy a bulk pack of batteries. I keep
bulk packs of batteries on hand at all times, Amazon sells their own
brand and they are excellent, and cost a lot less than copper tops.
Batteries cost a whole lot less than generators that often fail to
operate. I trust my battery operated nebulizer a lot more than any
generator... a couple of inexpensive AA cells will keep it running for
2-3 days. Truth is I wouldn't want a generator if someone gave me one
for free... batteries are far less trouble and cost less than buying
fuel. And batteries are a whole lot easier/safer to store than fuel.
It's very rare that anyone in the US has no power for more than a
couple three hours, usually minutes. I can't think of any reason why
I'd benefit from a $4,000 whole house generator that mostly sits idle,
when I can buy AA cell batteries for pennies. But then fearful folk
can't live wihout TV for an hour... and obviously they are unable to
read books and gave up getting laid 30 years ago.

actually he is paying more for more, more carbon, more pollution, more
disorder.

Or they could just add less water and more sugar and fuck the whole
rehydrating and then boiling it back down.
 
Do you feel as worthless as you sound?

No there is a difference, because the sugar will change the
consistency of the water when heated, Why else do you think that they
make simple syrups? I mean if all someone had to do was add sugar to
water then the recipe would say just add some sugar water. Wow dude do
you feel as worthless are you are?

And you know this because *you* stand guard over all those meat grinders
in every grocery store and know exactly what they're putting in them?
This mystery-meat argument gets old.
 
I own a meat grinder. (I've even posted pics of it.) Fact is, I use so
little ground meat in cooking it mostly sits on a shelf. If I want
hamburgers I'll buy ground chuck. Hell, I can even pick out the meat
and hand it to the guy at the meat counter and ask him to grind it for
me. I can watch them grinding it. They aren't hiding behind a curtain.
And yes, they clean the grinders (they have more than one) between cuts.

He contracting with a bulk mailing service to let everyone know he
inherited a bunch of money and bought his house for CASH and runs a
boarding home for indigent international students. And that he's
looking for other investments that can also provide a net loss.
 
Or it could be all those Investment Income mailing lists we
subscribed him to.

Strict is only to lose it fast. Moderate for a lifestyle to
maintain. Eat according to your activity level.
