Y'all live in a fascinating country, where your oven is spying on you
and talking to the FBI on a regular basis. Or maybe it's not a
country, but a state. A state of mind.

French is a great language, but I see your point for practical
reasons.

I had a head start on high school French. We started French in Gr. 7
where I went to elementary school. We moved part way through Gr.9 and in
the new school board is was not taught until high school, so I had a two
year head start.
 
I did everything I could to encourage my son to become bilingual. We
sent him on a French exchange program. He went to university in Montreal
and got a job working in French and did well enough to land a job
managing a brew pub with an all French staff. He took the civil service
language and landed a good job in a bilingual position and he gets a
decent bonus for being bilingual. Having mastered French, he is now
working on Spanish and has become quite fluent.

The only purpose of other languages than English, is to piss off
Americans. And if English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough
for us.

What's the difference between having it ready at dinnertime
and ready at breakfast?
 
Thing goes in oven and pretty much cooks unattended until done.

I had no choice. I was given Latin for two years. Spanish would have
been my choice and useful over the years. My grades were too good for
either French or Spanish.

Ours is a on piece of paper on the side of the fridge under a small
magnet . We keep a pencil close by <grin> . We usually use old envelopes
and tear off whatever list we have made until the envelope is gone .

Heh, I did that for decades but now, I use my phone! I bought a new
phone recently, but the shopping list thingy doesn't work the same. I think
you might guess that I have gone back to my old phone ...

So you check with your phone and see the milk container. It is opaque
whire so you don't see there are two ounces left and you need 2 cups.
You also want to look for relish but the milk container blocks the view.
Seems like a gimmick to me.

You should synchronize your schedules. My understanding is that Walmart will hire crotchety old dudes to greet people at the door to remind them that pretty soon they'll be old and crotchety too so they better live it up and spend some dough before it's too late.

Beats the heck out of me. What does medicare pay for surgery on a shattered ankle and a couple of days in the hospital in Sweden? My guess would be - "not much at all."

I live in a garage with no basement but it is climate controlled so I
can grind meat any time of the day. Instead of an ice box, we got one
of those electric refrigerators that keeps the same cold temperature too.

Many years ago when I was a smoker lemons were excellent for removing

I prefer fresh squeezed lemon juice with olive oil for my salad
dressing rather than vinegar. I like a wedge of lemon in my Crystal
Palace. We go through a lot of lemons, we can buy 3 lb bags at $2.99,
typically 8-9 large lemons. I think bottled lemon juice is
disgusting... reconstituted toilet water.
 
Obviously Thomas doesn't need to cook, if he's a Nooks & Crannys Stud
Muffin. lol

I hadn't thought about it in years, it was my younger daughter who
requested it but yes, it goes down well. I did a whole cookie sheet
and there was none left over.

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.

The AC has been going here for a while. Near record hot all week, but
the humidity is not so bad. I think not going through last winter helped
with heat tolerance today.

For a truly cathartic experience try English mustard, if you haven't done
so already. A teaspoonful will blow your socks off!
 
Best bought powdered and mixed before use.
