I suspect you are correct. Nothing wrong with working in a field your degree is not in. It's honest work, nothing to be ashamed of, and the cash would be most welcome. Heck, if he could refrain from discussing Mother Gaia and declaring he's rich!, Rich!, RICH! he might get hired full-time with some benefits. He'd need to keep his lips zipped and not share his partaking of a 'cuppa' every morning, too. > -- > Best > Greg Take out and delivery is doing a nice steady business here as well.

We tried that a couple weeks ago. It was a Tuesday and we had forgotten to get something out of the freezer in time. No problem, We figured it would be a good time to order take out and support local restaurants. I called a bunch of them and got messages that they had opted to close for the duration. I finally got one that said they were doing take out... please leave a message. The owner called back about 15 minutes later to say thanks.... but they are closed Tuesdays. |

It's a simple, basic, and classic, cake. I can't say if the Brits have a history of making it. The Mexicans will pour sweetened milk on these cakes and frost it with whipped cream. I don't recommend that you do that because that cake might kill you. It certainly would kill me. I've got a cross rib roast in the sous vide. 129 degrees for 14 hours. It's bagged with dark soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, and oil. I use dark soy sauce because I'm not going to bother with browning the meat. It's going to be sliced thinly and served cold in sandwiches. Sous vide turns an awful cut of meat into something awesome. |

Umm. I don't suggest making a rum cake out of a normal yellow cake mix or even one made from scratch. It will just turn into a soggy mess to eat with a spoon like bread pudding. You need a very heavy dense cake for that. A fruitcake. Maybe a pound cake but even that would also be iffy. I bought a small one pound fruitcake last season and soaked it a time or two with that Jim Beam Apple bourbon whiskey. Nice stuff. It's mellow and a bit less alcohol but I could even enjoy that straight. One beverage anywhere in that range that I have ever liked. |

If her recipe is anything like the one I had years back, the rum is used as at least some of the liquid in the cake, and also in the glaze IIRC.

It is really gripping, you are literally at the edge of your seat, a taut screenplay and those fantastic George Pal special effects! It has recently received a new digital restoration, it is available for download and soon Criterion will be releasing a snazzy new Blu-ray, NIRVANA! https://www.criterion.com/films/29942-the-war-of-the-worlds "The War of the Worlds A mysterious, meteorlike object has landed in a small California town. All clocks have stopped. A fleet of glowing green UFOs hovers menacingly over the entire globe. The Martian invasion of Earth has begun, and it seems that nothing—neither military might nor the scientific know-how of nuclear physicist Dr. Clayton Forrester (Gene Barry)—can stop it. In the expert hands of genre specialists George Pal and Byron Haskin, H. G. Wells's end-of-civilization classic receives a chilling Cold War–era update, complete with hallucinatory Technicolor and visionary, Oscar-winning special effects. Emblazoned with iconographic images of 1950s science fiction, The War of the Worlds is both an influential triumph of visual imagination and a still-disquieting document of the wonder and terror of the atomic age.

There is a similar story about how hikers should wear metal bells on their feet so the noise will scare the bears away. They should also learn to identify bear scat. It is tubular and looks like human crap. Black bears are omnivorous and their scat often has bits of berries and seeds in it. Grizzly scat sometimes has little metal bells in it. |

I don't have problems with women advancing in the work force. Nor do I have a problem with minorities having equal opportunity. I only ask that they be expected to perform equal work for equal pay. I am not a big fan of people being hired or promoted primarily to fill quotas. I worked for the government long enough to see how it worked in practice. Job competitions came with a statement about them being an equal opportunity and what women, native people, francophones, people of colour were invited to self identify. In other words.... we can't ask you your race, gender, culture etc.... but less us know. I always worked in what had been male dominated fields and over the years I had a few female bosses. A couple of them were good. One was an idiot. Given the nature of those who aim for management positions, that is actually pretty good. |
