Tasty, quick and filling. :) I did the same yesterday - breakfast for dinner and about the same time of day. 3 eggs over easy, some stuffing/dressing on the side along with 2 slices of toasted and buttered rye bread. First time I ever used stuffing with eggs. Surprisingly, it was a really tasty combo. I'll do it again. I had made the stuffing earlier to eat with oven roasted chicken thighs and vegetables. Changed my mind later and already had the stuffing so I tried it with the eggs. Later that evening, I made a stuffing sandwich. Just white bread, mayo and stuffing. Also pretty tasty. |
| jmcquown <j_mcquown@comcast.net>: May 27 08:48PM -0400 I didn't feel much like cooking today. So I made breakfast for dinner. Or was it a very late lunch? I ate early, around 4PM. 2 eggs, softly scrambled with some grated Fontina cheese and a sprinkling of Penzey's Fines Herbes blend. Two strips of bacon and a buttered biscuit. Tasty, quick and filling. :) Jill |

How true, graham. Then again, anyone who thinks this global pandemic is a hoax is a a half-wit. Maybe Christkiller lives in a bubble. The world hasn't seen anything like this virus before. Spanish Flu in 1918 is the only real comparable scenario in terms of numbers and at that time many doctors didn't have a grasp on the difference between bacterial and viral infections and how they are spread. The only idiots "in the crowd" not wearing masks are people like the clueless troll. Perhaps when the people who remove all the gluten from his food get sick he'll sit up and take notice. ;) Jill |

You can NOT stop the spread of anything which is why it was all over the world in a matter of weeks. Asymptomatic means immune, if there are people that are immune then why the hell are they calling it a novel virus? The disease must run its course, do its damage and wearing masks does nothing for anyone. If the person is infected they are going to spread the disease whether they are wearing a mask or not. A mask is NOT going to prevent anything at all. -- ____/~~~sine qua non~~~\____ |

I saw a funny this morning. Woman walking her little dog. Woman was wearing a face mask. Dog had one hanging around it's neck but not covering nose and mouth. I talked to her for a few minutes about that. Seems that the dog was very interested in her once she put a mask on. So she said, "oh, would like one too?" So she put one on her dog at home and the dog seemed to like it. She did pull it down on the neck when going for a walk as she assumed it wouldn't be so good for breathing while walking. Wished I had a camera for that one. Dog with mask was cute. |

When I was at Costco a couple days ago they guy at the front sanitizing the carts had a mask on but it was below his nose. I was getting curbside pickup at a pet shop on the weekend and an elderly English couple came along wearing masks. I got a bit of a dirty look from the woman, which I thought might have been because I was not wearing a mask. Then she stood about a foot behind me. I just turned around and looked at the ground and the narrow space between us and shook my head. |

It is not uncommon for the media to use stock photos. It has been going on for year. When I was a kid my friend's father had a Time-Life book series about WWII. There was a photo of an elderly Frenchman crying as he watched the German troops marching into Paris. In November 1963 I saw the same photo in a newspaper. According to the caption, it was a Frenchman crying at the news of the assassination of JFK. |

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. :) |

I don't think she's cooked beans before so I told her that she'd have to cook it for about an hour to an hour and a half. She cooked it perfectly. The kids are going to change the way Hawaii cooks. It tastes like a mainland soup rather than a Hawaii soup. Her soup has a herbal essence in its taste - something that our soups lack. It does take some getting used to. Soon, she'll be serving up chitlins, corn bread, and collards. |

I like its extra large display that can easily be dimmed. I needed the clock because I have the cable TV box is set to show the channel rather than the time. I really have no need for an alarm clock, cats are better at getting us up to feed them and the ferals on the deck at precisely 5 AM every morning. Other than foods I do very little in-store shopping anymore. I still remember how I detested maul shopping. Yesterday I needed to reorder clear packaging tape, 8 jumb Duck brand rolls ($21) will last 2-3 years, used primarily to hold collapsed corrogated in the recyclables bin but lots of other uses... one thing about shopping on line it entails receiving lots of corrogated cardboard cartons... the most are from Chewys... such nice strong cartons it's a shame to throw them away. The tape will arrive Friday, after 3 years I was down to my last roll. Collapsing and taping the corrogated is my job, I also collapse the aluminum cat food cans, the small ones fit inside the larger ones... I stomp all the cans. If I wasn't the trash compactor we'd need the largest bin of the three sizes and that monster won't fit in the garage... we get along fine with the smallest bin. My wife chooses to whel the bins out to the curb, I wheel them back after pick-up and put new bags in. I also clean the bins twice a year. Our household chores have somehow become fairly well divided. I do all the cooking and dishwashing by hand, I do most of the laundry. We share the vacuuming but she does most, I do all the window washing. She power washes the house exterior, somehow she likes that machine. I do most of the mowing and I clean and service the tractors, she does most of the vegetable garden weeding but I prep and cook the veggies. We never argue over who does more, we both work hard... I'll be mowing all day tomorrow, she'll be golfing. It's been up to nearly 80ºF and no rain so hopefully the ground will have dried and I'll be able to mow without making ruts. I'll ride around enjoying all my trees that are leafing out, the tractor cab has A/C and stereo radio tuned to the oldies... I can mow all day no problem. My wife does well with the small trator but the large tractor intimidates her, it has a lot more functions to be aware of... the difference is like driving a tandem semi compared to driving a VW Bug. |

(snippage) Um... that's all well and good but I'm pretty sure John said he can find an alarm clock at Target. C'mon, give him a chance to drive his electric car to the store. :) I don't know what the time or settings on your cable TV box has to do with anyone else wanting to buy an alarm clock. I don't have an Amazon Prime membership. I know many people here love it but I simply don't order enough from Amazon to justify giving them $100+ a year just so I can get free shipping on the occasional purchase of something like a $10 alarm clock. I really don't care about next day delivery, either. There really isn't anything I need that quickly. Jill |

The last owners had a good sized vegetable garden that at some point they abandonded and it became very overrun with giant weeds, we cleaned it up and now use it. They also used a few acres growing Christmas trees until the market for live trees died... the last of the trees are still growing but are too large now for Christmas trees in someones home, more the size for Rockerfella Center. But on most of the acreage they grew hay and sold it to the race tracks in NYC and also to the NYC police departmant for their horses. They grew some kind of special hay that I know nothing about. The last of their hay was baled and sold just before we moved here, since then we keep mowing those fields. Buying haying equipment and maintaining it is very costly plus I know nothing about haying except that after the hay is cut all that stubble looks ugly... and haying entails a lot of hard labor. They had a large family who all did haying. We have a very small family and none are into farming. The man who lived here killed himself from all that haying, they found him collapsed in a field. He was still alive but suffered a major coronary. They both had another house built ten miles south of here on a small piece of land in hopes he's quit haying. But after they moved in he was gone in six months... Fred was very compulsive and refused to follow the doctor's advice, his wife still lives there and we talk on the phone occasionally and we exchange email. Fred never accepted computers, he was a very stubborn Norwegian. |

That's the brand (Newman's Own) frozen thin crust pizza I buy on occasion. I've got one in the freezer right now. White pizza with spinach and mostly white cheeses. No tomato sauce. It's excellent! So is the jarred sauce, although I haven't bought any in a while. I don't know if Ophelia would be able to find Newman's Own brand in Scotland.
