It would never occur to me to add bread to vegetable soup. Jill |

The third of less than > one year who hung out at the gym was a cheat. Sorry, I seem to have forgotten what you believe you explained to me in long ago emails. I freely admit marrying my ex- was a mistake. He had this odd idea that once we got married I became his property. Let me state for the record: I never cheated on him. He accused *me* often enough. Guilt from the Gander? I got a call one morning on my way out the door to work: his boss wanted to know how he was doing. What? He said he'd been sick. Boss just calling to check on him. He'd been getting up and leaving the house dressed for work every morning but he hadn't been there for two weeks. I have *no* idea where he'd been going. After the divorce he harrassed and stalked me for *two years*. I was working as a secretary and had to get permission from my manager to tape the incoming phone calls. He stalked me. He showed up in the parking lot at work and just sat there next to my car. Later, he vandalized my car while it was sitting in my parents' driveway. I took pictures of that. He left me cards in my mail box. Thanks to the tapes and photographic evidence I pressed charges and had him thrown in prison. It was difficult to do. Initially I was told it was not a matter for the police, it was a "civil" matter. A "domestic dispute". Uh... we're not domestic, we're divorced. There were no stalking laws on the books in TN in the 1980's. So the phone calls and following me around weren't considered criminal. Vandalizing my car was. I was allowed to present the stalking/harrassment tapes and such into the proceedings at that point. He was convicted on "malicious mischief" charges. The judge and the prosecutor threw the book at him. Too bad the book only allowed 11/29. He never bothered me again. LOL Don't mess with Jill. > have been happily married for thirty years.

A fine mince and they must be cooked until tender. When I say "saute" I mean "soft". Jill |

It also depends on what he's calling "thick cut" pork chops. The thick cuts I find are at least 2 inches. Those, I split and stuff and cook (roast) them totally in the oven. Simply my opinion, I prefer 1/2" loin chops when pan frying. We can forget all about the zoftig comment. ;) Jill |

Our house was > built on fill, so I haven't been able to start a usable colony of > wild-growing onions. i'm not sure what to call a winter onion here because to me any onion can usually grow and be harvested at several different times depending upon what you want (the green tops or the stalk or the bulb). some onions do not get bulbs and are stronger or milder at various times. i really like using green garlic in the late winter through until they start getting too woody covers on the cloves (the next few weeks as the garlic here is just starting to put on scapes). garlic is the easiest thing i grow here. i've never had very good luck starting the bunching onions from seeds so this past summer a friend sent me some bunching onions as plants to put in and they are blooming now. i'm so excited because the blooms are covered with bees of all kinds and it is fun to watch them and see what new bees i've not seen before. the bunching onions have grown so well that i'm going to have plenty to break them apart, eat some and then replant the rest in a row in the garden where they are at now. the seeds i'm going to harvest as soon as they start showing signs of being developed enough and then i can give them away at a seed swap. the recent craze is ramps. the greenhouse even was selling ramps this year. our normal eating onions that i grow are large sweet kelcey onions and some red onions, but i didn't plant any red onions this year for a change. i like to leave a few of these from each season to flower so i can get seeds, but i'm lax this year due to injury last year so no large onion flowers this year. songbird |

OTOH, in the early 2100s, there are a lot of idiots running around, too. Our 18th Century forebears were as smart as us and did some amazing stuff. Cindy Hamilton |

Are you aware that gated communities are a perfectly rational response to a justifiable fear of home invasion? One million home invasions take place every year, and 27% of those result in homeowner injury. Gated communities are, of course, not the only rational response. My husband keeps a gun on hand (but locks it away when we both are away from the house). Cindy Hamilton |

The statistics aren't any better for Australia: <https://www.budgetdirect.com.au/home-contents-insurance/research/home-burglary-statistics.html> Of course, home invasions mainly happen in areas of higher population density. The cost/benefit analysis for driving 100 miles to break into someone's house is not very good. And if everybody moved out into the sticks to avoid home invasions, the sticks wouldn't be the sticks anymore. Cindy Hamilton |

Maybe I'm nose blind but I don't have a problem with lingering cooking odors. I guess the 30 year old vent hood over the stove does a good job. :) Jill |

Even among meat eaters I suspect that veal is probably very politically incorrect and unpopular these days. Take a few minutes to read all of this. Pretty sad stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veal Did you read all of that? Very cruel stuff for young animals. All that said, sadly it seems to be the norm for many animals that are raised commercially for our meat. To raise animals for our food is one thing but to treat them cruelly as so many are is just wrong. It's very wrong. What the hell is wrong with us? Animals raised for human food should at the very least be given a happy life from birth until the end. Sickening actually how so many are treated. In the old days, humans had to hunt for meat. At least those animals had a normal life before being killed. |

My guess is that most people on the mainland like it just fine. That is not an insult - just a statement of fact. My main problem with the mainland is that I do not like the way black and Mexican people are treated. That part, I find appalling. You could call it dissing and insulting your people. Guilty as charged. Every time you say "the mainland this" or "American that", you expose your disdain and racism. Cindy Hamilton |
