Digest for rec.food.cooking@googlegroups.com - 25 updates in 8 topics

Dave Smith <adavid.smith@sympatico.ca>: Apr 30 04:42PM -0400

I have been afraid to bake while I am in isolation because I can't go
out and work off the extra calories. I broke down and made some cookies
today... peanut butter cookies.
 
They almost didn't turn out. I had measured everything carefully but
when it came time to roll the dough into balls I realized they were just
way too soft and wet, that they would likely drop and spread way too
much. I had not made peanut butter cookies in a long time but I
remembered what the raw texture should be like. I grabbed a very
scientifically measured handful of flour and beat it into the dough,
then about half that again.
 
Then I had another oddity. The recipe said to bake at 375 for 10-12
minutes. My oven always seems to get the right results at the minimum
time. I gave them another two minutes, checked and opted for another
minutes. Despite the snags, they turned out beautifully.

And you can't go for walks in Canada, because you'd freeze to death or
get eaten by polar bears.

I do have a bicycle. It has been too cold, too wet or too windy to
ride.... except for the days when my buddy convinced me we should get
out on our motorcycles.

I'm beginning to believe our resident mental patient is also an Asperger's
Syndrome candidate. One of the symptoms is repetitive behavior such as
the constant need to inform us of his boring activities/life.
 
First, it was his inherited wealth (which he has since blown) and his
incessant crowing "I'm rich, I'm Rich, I'M RICH!" Then it was his need
to inform us of every 'improvement' (←-- sarcasm) in his boarding
house. On to the limited driving range of his Leaf and how he doesn't
burn gas (but does burn coal to make electricity for his car). Next,
we're treated to a blow by blow details of a nursing job he didn't get
because he was 'wobbly' (a nice way of putting he's not to be trusted
around sick people).
 
Now, he's off and running with daily bulletins of his vegetarian diet.
Does anyone here care that Koo-Koo if off on a new topic that he will
worry to death and provide us with all the boring details??
 
What a team he and Greta would make. ←--(Sarcasm)

I never thought I would find myself defending Kuthe, but the vegetarian
thing makes him look relatively normal. There tends to be a strong for
vegetarians to tell everyone.

Do we have to hear every detail, though? Do we have to hear every boring
detail of his life?

What about constantly bringing up his taxes in a food newsgroup? Is
that also repetitive behavior that's a sign of Asperger's?

We have much much less need to hear it than he has to tell it. He
seems to be getting enough response to reward his attention seeking
behaviour.

I believe that I posted before about a co-worker who came into work one
night in a foul mood. His son worked with us to and told us what had
happened. His wife had served him mushrooms and he hates mushrooms. He
didn't know there were mushrooms in it until he went back for a fourth
helping.

It's terrible to hate something so badly that you have to have 4 servings,
isn't it?

An anguished question from a Trump supporter: "Why do liberals think
Trump supporters are stupid?"
 
The serious answer: Here's what we really think about Trump supporters -
the rich, the poor, the malignant and the innocently well-meaning, the
ones who think and the ones who don't...
 
That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on
scamming poor people, you thought "Fine."
 
That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff
his creditors, you said, "Okay."
 
That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual
abuse, you said, "No problem."
 
That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the
thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said,
"Not an issue."
 
That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and
you wouldn't care, you chirped, "He sure knows me."
 
That when you heard him illustrate his own character by telling that
cute story about the elderly guest bleeding on the floor at his country
club, the story about how he turned his back and how it was all an
imposition on him, you said, "That's cool!"
 
That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest
thing you ever saw.
 
That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said,
"Well, who has time?"
 
That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men
convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they
should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense."
 
That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and
that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!"
 
That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before
throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!"
 
That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists
with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis,
and you have said, "Thumbs up!"
 
That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without
insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral
win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be."
 
That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government
in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the
industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a
genius!"
 
That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part
by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging
the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have
said, "That's smart!"
 
That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico
because it was the middle of water and you have said, "That makes
sense."
 
That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to
New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, "falling in love" with the
dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!"
 
That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages,
managed to lose track of 1500 kids. has opened a tent city incarceration
camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they're just "animals" -
and you say, "well, ok then."
 
That you saw him brag about dodging the draft, claiming not getting an
STI was his own 'personal Vietnam', insult a Gold star family, insult a
War hero and yet still claim to love the military, and you thought,
"most definitely he does."
 
That you saw how they had to cover the name of the warship the USS John
McCain when Trump was in Japan and not allow any of her sailors to meet
with him because they knew Trump would be triggered if he saw that name,
and you thought, "that's real maturity right there."
 
That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of
corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and
contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up
grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody
who says otherwise.
 
What you don't get, Trump supporters in 2019, is that succumbing to
frustration and thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful,
but it's also...hear me...charitable.
 
Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and
most of them are less flattering.

I see Gary get smaller with every line of this that he reads. Until
there's only a little mouse with a twitching right arm left.

I can just see us stopping at every rest stop to get out and argue with each
other. Bruce would tell us we're not staying in our lane. Koo-Koo would
bitch, we're not using electric motorhomes. And on and on our merry way!

This is a weekly pointer to the rec.food.cooking FAQ and conversion
file. If you do not want to see it every week, you should put the
title, which will not change, into your killfile.
 
The rec.food.cooking FAQ and conversion file is posted monthly to
rec.food.cooking, rec.food.recipes, rec.answers and news.answers. It is
also available as an easy-to-navigate frames version at
 
<http://vsack.homepage.t-online.de/rfc_faq.html>.
 
There is both a link to a no-frames version and a built-in no-frames
content for older or text-only browsers.
 
The rec.food.cooking FAQ and conversion file has two parts. The first
part covers conversion and equivalence. Tables are given for conversion
of oven temperatures, food names, weights and measures. Some useful
substitutions for unavailable ingredients are suggested.
 
The second part is more descriptive. It outlines some of the commonly
discussed topics of rec.food.cooking and explains a number of food
terms. It also lists other food-related newsgroups and mailing lists,
as well as food-related FAQs, recipe archives and other food/cooking
sites.

Naturally, well after the fact, I found the recipe I had been looking for:
 
<https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/swiss-chard-and-mushroom-galette>
 
My notes say "Excellent!" double-underlined, so I guess I liked it when I made it a little more than 2 years ago. :-)
 
The SWAG I posted above was fine. Simpler too. C'est la vie.

So happy to hear you like it. You can use other beans in the same recipe
- great northerns are good - but I like limas the best.
