And from me too, Carol. I know full well how it hurts to lose a
long time pet and family member. At least you treated her well.
dammit, I'm still not over my last loss. Support and sympathy
doesn't really change a thing here. You still lose a friend.
Rainbow bridge my ass.

I have two watches that need batteries. Each one lasts two years or
more. I could likely misplace the spares. I just go to the watch repair
kiosk and pay them $8 to install a new one.

I *DID* make one the next day (Wednesday)
 
No specific recipe, I just winged it from memory way back.
 
- partial package of egg noodles, cooked and drained.
 
- in a large bowl, I combined:
- 1/2 chopped onion
- 2 cans of tuna (drained)
- yes, a can of cream of mushroom soup :)
- 1 tbs flour
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 small (8.5oz) can of peas
- one ounce very sharp cheddar (leftovers)
- add in the egg noodles then top with -
- 3 oz mild cheddar cheese
- 2 oz parmesian cheese (dried kind)
- a handfull of bread crumbs.
 
(I think that covers it all)
 
All in a casserole dish and cooked at 425 for about 40 minutes.
 
It turned out quite well.
 
Not something to die for but I'm enjoying it. I will make this
again but probably a few years down the road. Just a good
occasional meal.

I have no good advice there but...
 
I agree that canned tuna seems to smell stronger now than in the
past. I used to prefer Starkist cans but they have gone to
shredded vs more chunks these days. Cheapskates. Also they seem
to smell fishy stronger.
 
My current canned tuna of choice is "Chicken of the Sea."
I always buy the packed in water kind. Packed in oil is
nasty to me. My cat wouldn't even eat that.
 
The pouches are the same thing just without the water. Just
overpriced.
 
For larger chunks and *maybe* milder odor, try the albacore cans.
I don't like them for sandwiches but they are good for making
fish cakes (faux crab cakes). Just use a good crabcake recipe.
 
Other than all that, just buy fresh tuna steaks. They have no
smell. Those are better to sear and eat like a very rare steak vs
turning them into sandwich mush though. ;)

My sports watch battery lasts 5 years, that depends on if you use
the light feature though which I don't so they normally last
about 6 years. You can replace the battery but then that breaks
the seal that keeps it waterproof up to 30 meters (or maybe
feet?).
 
After 6 years, better to replace the watch, not the battery.
Timex Ironman Triathlon watch. I like those but the not the
cheap bands they come with. I replace the bands immediately -
about $5 from a local surf shop.

Now you're talking class envy. "Not fair that they make more than
I do."
 
If you feel that way, it means that YOU feel like you should make
more money. That makes you the same as a business owner that
wants the best income. Everyone wants to make more and only
complain if someone else wins. Business owners took all the risks
to start a company, provide nice jobs for others, and they expect
to make more than the average worker. That's why they took the
risk in the first place.

Food issues? Hey, you're the one who bitches about bones in canned
salmon. I don't happen to like the smell of canned tuna. That okay
with you?

Okay, there's nothing "Hawaiian" about this chicken coating. I suspect
my mother called it that because she got the recipe from a friend when
they were stationed in Hawaii. :)
 
At any rate, it's a nice, tasty coating for baked chicken. :) Basically
it calls for 1-1/2 cups of dried breadcrumbs* seasoned with a little
salt & pepper, dried parsley flakes, garlic powder and 1/3 cup grated
Parmesan cheese.
 
Brush the chicken pieces with melted butter, then dredge in the
breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated. Let the chicken stand on waxed
paper for a few minutes to set. Place the chicken pieces in a shallow
glass baking pan. Bake at 350F for about 35-40 minutes.
 
This in no way purports to be like fried chicken. The coating will
still be crispy, however.
 
*Mom's "original recipe" called for 1-1/2 cups of crushed cornflake
crumbs. I don't buy cornflakes as a breakfast cereal. (It contains a
surprising amount of sugar.) Have you ever priced crushed cornflake
crumbs at the grocery store? Ridiculous. I've always used dry
breadcrumbs instead. Panko might work well here! :)
 
I've got a 1-1/2 lb. package of chicken "drummettes". Before anyone
asks, that's the meaty part of the chicken wing. These happen to be
*very* meaty and the price was less than buying whole chicken wings. Go
figure.
 
It's pouring down rain here again, three days in a row for sporadic
storms and two days in a row for complete downpours several times a day.
No grilling here. I'm not even thinking about venturing outside
today. It's a great day for making not really "Hawaiian" baked chicken. :)

The shipping container is the retail outlet. The real bakery is in a house
nearby - at least, that's the scoops I got from my wife. The funny thing
about this rock is that French style pastries are kind of a thing here. It's
French by way of the Japanese. The Japanese are enamored with the French
style bakery and they have brought Japanese-French style pastries/breads to
Hawaii. The Vietnamese have also brought their tradition of French breads to
Hawaii. What this means is that it's pretty easy to get a baguette or a
batard around here.
 
These guys opened around the corner a couple of months ago.

I've done that before. Problem is doing that also turns the yolk
into partly cloudy yolk, not a sunny side up one.

> You can get a nice looking egg like that by cooking over very low heat in a non-stick pan. If the egg bubbles/sizzles, you have the heat up too high. You essentially just let it sit there until it's done. It's an easy way to way to cook an egg because you don't have to move or fuss over it. It'll take around 4 or 5 minutes. If you do it right you get a cartoon-looking egg - good for a laugh. I don't have 4 or 5 minutes so I'll do a flip over.

That sounds like the best plan as long as it keeps the yolk
runny. Does it?

No dear , at birth ! Well , actually emergence from the cell . They
come out fully grown and ready to go , the first thing they do is clean
out and polish up the cell they emerged from so it's ready for another
egg .

That may be part of it , winter bees don't fly as much as summer bees
- flying many miles a day takes a toll on wings . I don't think that's
all though , there are also physiological differences . Right now I'm
pushing a deadline to check my newest colony for queen cells . If I have
more than 2 I will make another split (new colony) with one or two - but
we don't go into the hives when it's rainy . The bees are all home and
they're cranky , good way to get multiple stings . I made that split 2
weeks ago this coming Sunday , queens usually emerge 16 days after the
egg was laid . I gave them a frame with only eggs , but those may have
been up to 3 days old . In that case I could have queens emerging by
Saturday ... and it's predicted to rain until Sunday . If I miss this
opportunity I'll be locked in to overwintering 5 hives maximum , I was
hoping for 6 .

Good luck! I would love to keep bees .... if I knew how:))

Does he think she runs the dishwasher every day? I live alone. Put
used plates, bowls, cups, utensils, mixing bowls, etc. into it when
you're done using them. When it's full (might take a couple of days)
add detergent (might be a pod!), turn it on and go do something more
interesting. :)

I'm not going to remodel my kitchen, either, but I like those half size
dishwashers! I've stayed in some hotel suites that have a small kitchen
with those half size dishwashers. Great idea. :)

I rarely get water in small bottles. I have no problems drinking tap
water, and I have a number or reusable bottles that I fill up at taps or
filtered water stations. That is not to say I never use those small
bottles, which are about the most expensive way to drink water.
However, I will say that they aren't all going into the ocean. There is
a problem with people tossing them inappropriately and some of then may
make it to the ocean, but most of them here end up in recycling bins.

I have a (Amazon) CC with Chase but that's all. I still have money in
my CT bank but opened a CD and checking account with a local bank here.
