They last a long time.. easy to hydrate and cook. Can beans are last resort for me. I do use them sometimes for something quick. Canned beans certainly are not cheaper than dry. I wouldn't add brown sugar and or molasses to a bean cook. Not into sweet beans. During this pandemic dry beans have been harder to come by than canned ones in my area. In March our grocer had completed empty dry bean shelves and of course no toilet paper. |

In Chicagoland it is 91 degrees, dewpoint is 73, "feels like 103", and it is not even noon yet...wanted to go to a local farmer's market early this morning but the humidity killed that idea...it is a sizzler indeed!

So why do you keep crowing about electricity? You're not doing anything new or different. You still rely on coal to generate that electricity and you're certainly not changing the world.

You could have generated >your own electricity and probably sold some back to your local power company. I doubt his roof has enough area at the correct exposure for solar panels to produce much. Where I live a lot of people place the solar panels in their yard on posts that are cemented into the ground so they're up off the ground so they can mow around them and so they can brush the snow off. They don't like to place them on their roof as they will cause the roof to leak... I doubt it would work well on that tile roof anyway, they'd have to drill a lot of bolt holes. I thought about installing solar panels here and even had a company do a survey. I have several acres they could use but I didn't want to look at those ugly panels and there would be a lot of mowing and snow removal. Plus more than half the time they'd produce no elctricity, they produce nothing at night or on cloudy days. Once installed I'd be responsible for their maintenence and repairs. The panels are mostly made of plastic, UV light wreaks havoc on those panels so they don't last long. Solar panels are okay for a few small light bulbs but would need a lot of panels to run A/C, an electric stove, a clothes dryer, a fridge/freezer, charge an electric car, fergetabout it. Solar power is a long way into the future. Solar is good for powering small electronics, like a calculator, a medical thermometer, a toothbrush, a clock. The main drawback to solar is transmission. |

You have to keep the lights very low. Yes, there is more to a relationship than sex too. Actually more important than sex. |

Now that I am 67, it's still >> not appealing to me. Gary, with that statement it's obvious that you haven't been intimate with a woman in forty years, likely even longer. >keep the lights very low. >Yes, there is more to a relationship than sex too. Actually more >important than sex. When living with someone and seeing them every day you don't notice the aging, at least I don't. Even pets show their age but when you see them every day you don't notice the aging. It's when you don't see someone for a long time, like even five years the aging is quite noticeable. I see my wife every day, except when she goes to visit the grands once or twice a year for two days. To me my wife looks the same as she did the day I met her... she still weighs the same +/- 5 pounds, only now her hair color is out of a bottle, and it changes slightly each time she goes to her hair dresser. I do realize that people age and develop wrinkles and other blemishes, but we are made so that over time eyesight fades so we don't readily see small details, and in a dimly lighted room closely pressed together who can see or notice wrinkles. When most people have sex they don't open their eyes anyway, they rely on their other senses; touch, smell, taste, hearing... I don't need to open my eyes to know it's my wife, I know how she feels, how she smells, how she tastes, how she sounds, same as a pet knows it's you. Human sight is the least acute of their senses... and that's why paint companies spend a fortune on color charts... humans have extremely poor memory for color, humans are incapable of differentiating one shade of blue from another for more than two seconds.. Sight is the least important sense humans have for sexual arousal, all the other senses play a much more critical role. For humans their voice, the words they say, and the sounds they make are far more sexually stimulating than vision. In fact those who spend too much energy on looking typically ruin their sexual experience, they are searching very hard for a way to become turned off... like Gary is hung up on women with wrinkles... like he has none. Gary is checking out women's wrinkles because he pretends to be blind to his own. I'm proud of how I look at my age, I've not yet met a woman or a man who believes I'm 77. Most women 20 years my junior think they're older than me. Most don't believe I'm 77, I have to show my drivers license... and then some become arroused that a 77 year old man is ogling their 57 year old body... they simply don't know that I check out every woman's bosom. A 57 year old woman has no way of knowing that I consider her bosom to be about 45 years old considering she didn't get it until she was about 12, so still has plenty of good miles remaining on it for me to test drive. ;) |

However there's nothing that can be done about wet plants >from excessive rain. snip You are close. Blossom end rot is caused by uneven watering. A dry stretch followed by a lot of water. Especially during hot spells. Keep soil moist. During 100F+ temps I have to water tomatoes 2-3x per week. maybe even in twice per day, early morning and late afternoon. Tomatoes are very big plants and lose a lot of water through all those leaves. Watering evenly will also keep the skins from being tough. Bean plants are susceptible to blight (large spots on leaves) if they get over head watering. Never pick beans when the leaves are wet. That opens opportunity for disease. Side dress tomatoes with epsom salts. Particularly if the leaves are pale or getting wrinkly in the season. Quick and easy (cheap and readily available) source of magnesium. Epsom salts is practically a miracle. Most bags (available at drug stores, everywhere) carry instructions for feeding tomatoes and peppers. HTH Janet US |

Easy enough to avoid controversy here. Just post something like "I ripped 20 minutes this morning" and if you get a response you know it worked. Oh, you can be sure it will generate a response. |

I find I get much better control over how much oil I ingest by drizzling rather than dipping, and I don't like anything else in the oil. Cindy Hamilton |

They brought out the bread and a shallow saucer of oil with cracked black pepper for dipping. Not something I'd do at home and I definitely wouldn't want vinegar (balsamic or otherwise) on bread. I posted a pic of my olive oil dispenser in another reply. Definitely for drizzling and pretty, too. :) Jill |
