Scrapple on an egg sandwich? OK, you win. I'll have to
try that. I know it's good

Damn! You made all that and I'm sure it's good.
You win again.

I never ate scrapple as a child. I discovered that on my own
as an adult. Same with real butter.

Gregory's are easy to tell is you have your newsreader also display
the email address. Google would cancel his account if reported to
the right person/dept. Greg can only change the name, not the email
address he posts from on Google.
 
Since many of the nasty posts he puts out here are sent from his
workplace, what I saw somebody do here was set their "Reply-To: "
and/or "Mail-Copies-To:" header when replying to his post (just
like you do, Leo) to his bosses email address at work.
 
That causes Greg's or anybody else's reply to unknowingly be sent to
the his boss, and it would include the text of Greg's offensive
antics and email address. Eventually they're gonna wonder WTF
they're getting all this email from/about Greg and investigate.
 
That way somebody there at his workplace gets CC'd on all the
messages that Greg is putting out during time when he SHOULD be
working and acting like a decent human being, not a two-faced
forging internet troll under the guise of "Work Search Coach" at a
company that supposedly helps people.
 
That address for the "Reply-To: " and "Mail-Copies-To: " is
guyl@jane-addams.org.

It's not your fault. It's totally something "Bruce" would say
anyway, so you're not expected to look at the headers.
 
It is really petty and time-wasting of Greg to be pumping out
messages like that. Perhaps he's trying to get at me, but I have all
incarnations of Bruce and Gregory kill filled, so It's kinda
pointless Greg forging Bruce - Like... DUH!

We keep our house at 70ºF all year... 85ºF is much too uncomfortable.
Keeping the house at one steady temperature costs less than playing
with the thermostat. The most important functions of a air
conditioner is to filter the air and remove humidity, temperature is
secondary. Set at 85º the A/C doesn't run long enough to clean the
air and remove humidity... may as well unplug it and toss it in the
trash.

I think it depends on how you do it. A lot of this house is cedar wood
walls and frames so much of it gets wiped with a cedar oil polish.
Even the kitchen is that for cabinets.
 
If it helps, the bedrooms are drywall. One wall in the livingroom is
plaster, 2 walls of the sunroom are wood paneling in light oak, and the
family room (converted garage) is drywall. The bathrooms are oak
planks.
 
Grin, I don't so much 'dust' as 'polish'. I have some old shop-rags we
use for it then toss in the washing machine with other bits like the
old linen cloth napkins that act as crumb-catchers and the 'hot tea
station' in front of the microwave to catch spilled tea and sugar.
 
I got those linen napkins off freecycle some years ago. Some are nice
enough for company and some have bleach other other stains. I have
about 14 we keep for 'company good' and another 14 we use just for us
that have various stains/bleach blots but no rips or anything. Haven't
used paper napkins or towels in years. Ok, random paper towel (we use
1 regular roll up about every 8 months).

Heat index warning from NAS Oceana came in late Friday. Expect up to
108F heat index with some high points today of 112F. Basically about
97-99F with high humidity and low/no breeze. People with ceiling ACs
should watch for condensation issues and check any drip pans.
 
Basically as always, the next 6 weeks will be randomly miserable heat
here.

It's not been a fun summer at all so far. I'm just so thankful
that I don't have to work outside all day in this like I did
for so many years. arrghh

We buy the neutral flavored EVOO at Walmart, it's the only cooking oil
we buy, we find the estate oils too strongly flavored and not in a
good way, and too expensive. Often we blend the Walmart EVOO with
butter for cooking, that's flavored enough... for salads there are all
sorts of herbs and spices to go with the neutral flavored EVOO... we
don't care for vinegar in our homemade salad dressing, we much prefer
fresh squeezed lemon juice, then the rinds are used in mixed
cocktails. I buy 2lb bags of lemons at Tops for $3-$4, eight very
nice lemons, juicey and very few seeds.... one bag lasts about a
month.

I'm laughing about you following along in the troll's footsteps. Did
you actually look at the photo? There is NO exercise machine.

I'm happy for you, Sheldon. I don't shop at Walmart. Their supermarket
sucks in terms of pretty much everything.
 
I agree about adding a little butter to the oil for cooking certain
dishes. Absolutely when pan-searing something like sea scallops. I
don't use a lot of olive oil and don't much worry about brand. I'm not
an olive oil snob.
 
I do not buy bags of lemons. They'd go bad before I could use them.

DUH Jill. We are joking that that cat tower toy is YOUR exercise
machine. You really don't have any sense of humor, do you?

When, was that, Sheldon? About the same time you were cooking a bunch

It is only 10 am and the temperature is 81 with a "feels like " 100.
It's stinking hot. It is going to be 90 this afternoon. AC is on and I
am planning on staying inside.

But not the meatloaf that we talk about here. Big difference.
Scrapple is more like a loaf form of breakfast sausage.

I do love scrapple but have always joked about it and the name.
 
Once you butcher a pig, all the scraps leftover on the table
and on the floor are collected to make "SCRAPple"
Hence, the name. Might be about right too but it sure is tasty.
 
Somewhat sad that you're not allowed to at least taste it, Bruce

True. In my case though it's very true. I've never eaten
restaurant crab, canned crab or even the pasteurized crab
meat but I am tempted to try that sometime.
 
I really have caught or purchased, killed and picked all the blue
crab
I've ever eaten.
 
I did have Alaskan King crab a couple of times that someone
else did the dirty work. I just microwave the legs to hot.
 
Next on crab list is the Dungeness crab. Never had that.
 
Oh and...snow crab isn't worth eating, imo.

I make fried egg sandwiches occasionally for lunch or dinner.
I always make two at a time. I'm a piggy.
 
Make and butter the toast first.
Put down 2 bottom slices with some cheese
One slice torn into 4 pieces, two pieces on each slice
of toast.
Then I fry 3 eggs over easy. Right before they are done,
I'll break the yolks on top and spread it around the egg
then quick flip to seal up the yolk a bit. Still runny
but won't run out of the sandwich.
 
One and a half eggs right on the cheese to melt it.
Salt and pepper each then put on top slices of toast.
On the 2nd sandwich, I'll put a lot of ketchup. That's
my 2nd sandwich and "dessert" sandwich.
 
YMMV. That's just what works for me.

I prefer my home canned tomatoes , the only thing added is a bit of
citric acid . No added salt , no preservatives . Frozen is even better ,
nothing but tomato .
