Get up to date Kuthe. Medical professionals and scientists simply don't know at this point. They won't know until the second wave (I do believe there will be one) hits and people who have already had Covid-19 either get it again or don't. Only time will tell. Jill |

I've clicked on a few links here for pics recently of things people cooked or people bought in the last couple of days. The first thing I saw was a big banner telling me they're offering Prime Membership for 50% off for people who get EBT (Food Stamps) and other government assistance. What, people who can't afford to buy a bunch of stuff right now are supposed to line Jeff Bezo's pockets for a 50% discount on a Prime membership? Irritates me no end. The guy is a gazillionare. He doesn't need memberships from from poor people. Just my 2 cents. I'm glad your brisket turned out well. :) Jill |

Oh don't do that, Joan! Many years ago in a totally different cooking forum there was a woman from Australia who wanted to try grits. (It's a ground corn product, similar to cornmeal kinda sorta.) So I bought a $2 box of grits. Mailed it to Australia. That cost me about $20. It was held in quarantine since it was a food item being imported into the country. When she went to pick it up they told her it would cost her $40 to get it out of quarantine. She declined and apologized to me, saying she never would have asked me to send her some grits if she'd known it would be so expensive. Hell, I wouldn't have bothered either. That was the most expensive box of grits I ever bought. :) Jill |

Now he just needs a good cornbread recipe, of which there are many. Jill |

Funny thing, my mother never served green bean casserole. I found a handwritten recipe for it taped inside one of the kitchen cabinets. I left it there and smile every time I see it. I have to wonder why she wrote it down. Maybe she made it for my dad after they moved here but it sure wasn't a part of our food lexicon when growing up. Jill |

I might be willing to try it if it were made completely from scratch, but I suspect the green beans would be overcooked for me and it would be a waste. Cindy Hamilton |

At any rate, I know you know it's a type of small white bean. Dad made excellent Navy Bean Soup.

Simply saying I couldn't imagine my father cooking dinner when I was a teenager and had a sleepover. Even if my mother hadn't been around my girlfriends and I wouldn't have asked him to cook. We usually just had popcorn and sat in my room and talked and listened to music. BTW, that was a stupid move putting the old Pyrex dish directly on the burner to make the gravy. It doesn't matter if you'd done it 100 times before, that stuff was never intended to be placed directly over a hot flame. I'm sorry it spoiled the meal. Lesson learned. :) Jill |

Did ya ever have a reel - to - reel, in the early 70's I got a TEAC rtr deck, had a bunch of pre - recorded tapes, thought that was the height of luxury...now I cannot imagine fiddling with such a mechanical device... One thing about digital downloads is that they have really crummy sound compared to a good analog LP... -- Best Greg |

I got rid of all that old crap. The albums were all scratched up. Tape doesn't last very long. All my DVDs are in boxes in the basement. It's all digital downloads for me. They all sound better than the AM radio in my first car. Cindy Hamilton |

Well, it was the cheapest wedge they had. That might have made a difference. I do like bold flavors though. I also like lots of heat in many dishes up until it kills your taste buds with mouth on fire. |

This is getting a bit old and weird. > I do have plenty of TP from the last trip but I am running > low on paper towels. No big deal but certainly odd. It still amazes me. I was able to order a 12 roll pack of the tightly wrapped Scott brand toilet paper from Walgreens. (It goes a lot farther than the soft, loosely wrapped on the roll cushy stuff.) Got an email from Walgreens saying everything in my order had shipped except the TP, which is pending. The web site didn't indicate they were out of stock so I'm guessing it is coming from a different distribution center. Meanwhile, I found TP at (of all places) the Exxon convenience store when I went to put gas in my car. I guess the toilet paper hoarders didn't think to look there. I bought a four-roll pack and they had more. Walgreens will get their shit together (pardon the pun) soon enough and send me what I ordered. :) We're living in weird times. Jill |
