Hey, if you can buy Gouda in the US... And Gouda can't swim.

Yes, I'll be using butter to pan fry the lightly crumbed sole. :)

Lightly crumbed, good.

True Dover sole is only found in the coastal waters of north western
Europe. Dover sole isn't found in US markets unless frozen, which
isn't worth buying. American sole is a different fish from Dover
sole. Personally I think young flounder is indistiguishable from
Dover sole and just as good eating. A lot of markets and most
restaurants label all types of small flat fish as Dover sole in order
to charge a higher price. Buying Dover sole filets at $10/lb in a US
market is a rip off... without seeing the entire fish whole even an
experienced fish monger couldn't tell what it is. In the US most all
cleaned and cut fish is a switcheroo to whichever commands the higher
price. Anyone who lives by the sea and enjoys seafood is a fool for
not catching their own or at least buying from the local charter boats
as they come in... costs less and they'll clean it for you. When you
see the whole fresh caught fish you'll know what you're getting.
Buying cleaned cut fish especially fillets there's no way to know what
fish it is... may as well label it Friskies.

Cool. Many have not. And you are correct, if you have clean metal soldering is pretty straightforward. I've been soldering since I was a kid.

And that applies to all chemicals added to commercial food.
There all all kinds of reasons that chemicals are added
by the chemists that food companies pay well to figure out.
 
So many good documentaries on TV today. I would love to see
a good detailed 2-hour one on the science of commercial
food.
 
One that would explain in detail just how and why all
these chemical compounds are added to food. They are
all in there for some reason or other.
 
Not necessarily all good but not necessarily all bad either.

If you google the chemical name (or search it on Wikipedia), you can
find out why they're there.

I don't eat the peanut butter with palm oil. I eat the peanut butter
with rapeseed or soybean oil.
 
What did you want me to say instead of "some people"? "Orangutan lovers

Bruce is one of those rare people who doesn't actually have to eat.
Haven't heard much about his garden or what he actually does eat. He
certainly doesn't cook but he's very quick to find ingredients lists and
ASSume everyone in the US drinks nothing but sugar.

We like peanuts but not peanut butter, peanut butter is exactly the
same as preground mystery meat. We buy unsalted in-shell peanuts,
contains nothing but peanuts:
https://www.hamptonfarms.com/collections/in-shell-peanuts
If we wanted peanut butter we would grind them but why bother... we
have teeth... machine grinding roasted peanuts is exactly the same as
putting a perfectly cooked steak through a food processor. Removing
peanut shells is easy and is a big part of the enjoyment of eating
peanuts. And in my opinion in-shell roasted peanuts taste far better
than any peanut butter.

Yes, that happens here. It gives me a bit of extra time before I have
to mow again.

You need mulching blades, makes a huge difference... we mow once a
week but takes two days to mow the ten acres of lawn because there're
several areas with a lot of edges. Without the mulching blades we'd
give up and keep sheep.

I'm pretty sure Austin is the epicenter of the Cricket Movement (and
Cricket Hell). We have/[had] several cricket farms and a bunch of
startups marketing products here. We can't even GIVE them away at
the food bank and people only buy them at the stores for novelties.
 
The Hell: A lot of quickie marts have to close down in September due
to crickets in the ventilation systems. Those things will climb in
through any nook and cranny (ObFood) and die and smell like hell.
They're attracted to gas stations because they keep those lights on
all night.

Maybe you could make something else with it rather than just paying
$8/jar and throwing it away for some totally asinine reason.
 
You're just as much an idiot with your inherited money as is John.
 
ObFood: I love Borat in the movie 'Hugo' (as well as the rest of the
movie). I'm watching it again for the 5-6th time. I didn't know
that it was him the first time - not a Borat fan previously.

It does not. Just slows it down to a reasonable level.
Especially outside wooden decks. Leaving off the underside
will allow the wood to dry out quicker and stem off rot which
is caused by moisture held in.
 
Good example is old 100 years old barns. Painted outside but
not on the inside.

Excellent example! I have to wonder why he would bother to paint the
*underside* of the deck. No one can see it. No one cares if it's
purple, pink or polka dotted. He should be worrying about wood rot.

Get your all natural cistern water analyzed some day.
I suggested that about a year ago.
Do post the ingredient list.
I also remember that you quit drinking it but you had
a reason for that, didn't you?
 
Even better - buy a decent microscope and check out a
fresh drop of water from your cistern in a warm month.
I'll bet you would start treating it after that.
 
All natural isn't always all healthy.
