Get a gasoline powered alarm clock in case there is a power failure.
You don't want to be late for work.

This has been working perfectly for over ten years, extra large
numerals, battery back up, dimmer, choice of colors:

Newman's Own brand. As in Paul Newman, the actor. He had a food
company. I think you can buy that jarred sauce on Amazon UK but I
wouldn't expect you to see it on the shelves at your local shops.

>Cindy Hamilton
 
We have veal parm often, only since good veal is difficult to find and
is typically way over priced... so I slice cutlets from boneless pork
loin, to date none have noticed the difference... many restaurants do
likewise but charge veal prices. It's been many years since I've seen
any veal at stupidmarkets
 
Never pound meat to make a CUTlet or it'll cook up dry and tough,
simply slice thin across the grain... easy to do with a sharp carbon
steel knife and a steady hand... stainless steel knives can't be made
sharp. A CUTlet is called a CUTlet because it's not a POUNDlet. Most
celebrity chefs on TV have lousy knife skills so they pound. Pounding
meat does not tenderize, it has just the opposite effect. Swiss steak
is not pounded, it's put through a cubing machine that makes lots of
small cuts accross the grain.

I can find veal scallopini at several supermarkets here, but prefer to go
to the butcher so I can get cutlets and pound them into paillards myself.
 
And, yes, I read your opinion about pounding meat.

The entire park is open to the public but the official trails
for people only skirts the perimeters. I used to hike out
in the remote places, following animal trails, not the people
trails. Steve is right that you're not supposed to take
anything from the park itself. That's what he read.
 
The difference is that although I parked there
(the 64th St. entrance) down at the water's edge, the
state park ends at the mean high tide mark. All the
seafood from the bay is NOT in the state park.
No problem parking in the state park then getting
fish, crab, clams, oysters from the bay (Broad Bay).
People do that all the time. Perfectly legal.
 
 
> I believe it's some of the better crabbing at the First
> landing park?
 
Maybe on the north end on the Chesapeake Bay. (?)
I've never gone to that side.
 
The south side of the park borders Broad Bay and
don't waste your time crabbing there. Most crabs there
are too small to keep.
 
The very best crab spots at the beach are inside
of Rudee Inlet. I discovered a "honey spot" years
ago. I could go and set out 4 lines and fill two
5-gallon buckets in less than an hour. That's about
8 dozen crabs.
 
Sadly, since then, that whole Croatan area has been all
developed. Massive housing and no where to park for
visitors. Only way for good crabbing there now is
to have a boat to get there.
 
My daughter was born May 1979. We stayed home often
that summer as she was a newborn. Every weekend on
a day off, I would get up at dawn and catch a bushel
of crabs. I was always home before the girls even
got up.
 
Then I would kill them, cook them and put away in the
fridge. Much of our summer was watching tv while picking
crabs. Eating as much as we wanted but also freezing
some in 1/2 pound bags.
 
Buy end of crab season, we had 28 pounds of crabmeat
in the freezer plus had probably eaten that much by then
too.
 
With that surplus, we ended up trying many different
crab recipes. So many good ones.
 
Note to Bruce: The above was a true Dave-like story. :)

Yes, but it was also an *interesting* story, unlike Dave's lengthy maudlin tales...
 
What kind of crabs, BTW...???

I only say just joking when it really was was a joke.
Mostly I'll tease mean people.
Look up the definition of "tease" and "kidding"

Tease is what some ladies do to their hair.
Kidding is what nanny goats do.

Intentional thread drift: I have the HVAC unit serviced twice a year
(service contract, they come out and clean the unit, check everything,
replace the filters). Last Fall when the guy was here I asked the him
to hand down the boxes of Christmas crap from the attic. In one of the
boxes I found glass ornaments that are older than I am. I remember them
from my childhood. Sadly, many of them were broken. But I also found
two beautiful faux poinsettia plants in foil wrapped pots. I set them
outside on each side of the front door last holiday season. Someone was
delivering a package and commented how pretty they were. I said,
"They're fake." He was surprised. They really do look like live
plants. Thanks Mom! :)

LOL Close enough.
It was actually 40 hamburgers in the freezer at a time,
back when they had that 25 cent sale. I would buy $10 worth
at a time (plus $1 tax)
 
The mass quantities was odd but not for me. Once I found that
they last well frozen, I bought that way until the sale
finally ended. Early 90's I think it was.

LOL If you switched to my newsreader, it would be a serious
*downgrade*. (Netscape® Communicator 4.73) (Windows98 too)
It's perfect for usenet. No need to upgrade.
 
I do use Thunderbird on the newer computers for mail
and the occasional usenet.

I'd be quite happy with the old text based Unix utility "trn". It's a
bit of a drag having to copy URLs from the command-line window and
paste them into the browser, though.

That was in reference to grocery stores and many people crowding
those after being told to stay home.
 
I've seen many news reports showing long lines waiting to get
in a crowded store and many long lines for checkout.
 
Virus or not, I won't ever go to a very crowded store not
even if they have the best sale in the universe.
The annual Black Friday super sales come to mind.
 
As far as going out. I go outside ever single day. Long walks,
the occasional running, bike rides and even surfing once the
ocean warms up a bit more. I also go out and hang out in
my van early every morning to see the pre-sunrise sky.
 
Any trips to any stores are early morning for me when they
are never crowded.

I unplugged it for 6 hours. No more annoying unexpected beeps since
then. Thank you very much for your suggestion!

Canada geese migrate to where they can reproduce and where food is
abundant, they generally do not migrate to above the arctic circle.
