Almond-based cream. Use Pepsi / Coke concentrate instead of diluted with
fizzy water. If not sweet enough, add molasses.
 
The oracle of untested recipes has spoken.

You actually make and drink such a thing? arrrr ;o

Just cancelled my NY Times digital subscription, even at a measly five bux per month for the first year I refuse to give that howling rag another cent. My main purpose in subscribing was to access their excellent "Times Machine" archive that goes back to Year One, but I've my pride...also cancelled "New York Magazine"...the only thoughtful writer there is Andrew Sullivan, but they are starting to muzzle him as he does not fit their Maoist Little Red Book "agenda"...
 
Instead I ponied up fifty bux for a year of "National Review", at least it is a bit less frenzied. I also subscribe to "Real Clear Politics", many articles from many viewpoints...
 
As someone who is familiar with the press and propaganda of the old Soviet Bloc, e.g. East Germany, USSR, Czechoslovakia, etc. I'd rate the NYT/CNN/WaPo and the lot right up there with the old "Pravda" or "Neues Deutschland" or "Rude Pravo" as to "veracity"...or at least the equal of the present - day Cuban "Granma"...

The whole world is free to laugh at the US. Just know that we are
still the alpha country. Jealous much?

Roof touchups are fairly common to stall for a little time before
a whole roof job is necessary.

Canned 'shrooms are indeed better than those tasteless button 'shrooms
found in the produce section... those are typically old, harvested at
least a week ago... canned are processed within an hour of harvest, in
fact all canned vegetables the same, more nutritious than so-called
fresh from the produce section... today the canneries are on huge
trailers and hauled directly to the fields being harvested. The only
'shrooms I prefer to canned are wild dehys. I keep an assortment of
dehy produce... because when you go rummaging for that bell pepper you
bought a while back when you finally find it at the bottom of your
fridge it's already rotting. Dehy peppers are always perfect, whether
bells or the hot ones. I keep dehy onions too, why cut into an onion
when all I want is some small amount. Dehy potatoes/carrots are
excellent too, all peeled and perfect; sliced and diced, perfect for
soups/stews... they rehydrate in minutes and their flavor is more
intense. How many times do yoose buy a sack of onions and when you
open it at home you realize it's all woofy, spuds the same... cut into
those and see how they are rotting from the inside... and often when
on sale at low prices they have a disease.
Canned 'shrooms are available in many types that can't be bought any
other way, they are too delicate to ship freshly harvested... I keep
some for Oriental dishes (straw mushrooms), Oriental restaurants use
canned 'shrooms, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts too.

Sure you can. Just put it in a full sink of cold water a couple
of hours before stuffing and cooking.

As I really like the stuff, I always use 3-5 pounds of meat
With onions too.

Interesting. I think you are the first person (2 people)
that I've ever heard that didn't like meatloaf.
 
One of my favorites. When I make one, I'll eat it constantly
for meals and even snacks until it's gone.
And all is reheated, never cold in a sandwich.
Leftovers never see the freezer here.

Perhaps it was a rubbish recipe:)
 
Please share your favourite rececipe?

No recipe. I just wing it each time but I'll take note of what I
do next time I make one. It's fairly plain and nothing
special.
 
Basically just ground beef, onions and one egg. Maybe some
large bread crumps occasionally. I slather ketchup
on the outside heavily but never add it to the inside.
Worcestire(sp)sauce added though (inside)...always for beef.
 
The baked outside ketchup carmelizes and has a different taste
than plain ketchup. I never add ketchup once it's baked.
 
===
 
Ok please take note next time and I will follow it!!!

You can put anything you want in meatloaf. You can shape it into any shape
you like. I have made meatloaf stuffed with kim chee. That didn't turn out
so well. The possibilities are endless. That's the fun thing about meatloaf.
 
The one I made last night had pickled turnips (takuan) in it - it tasted
like pineapple. I formed it into the shape of a chicken and cooked it in the
air fryer. The air fryer is perfect for meatloaf because all the fat drips
off. Last night's meatloaf was basted with a shoyu/sugar glaze a couple of
times while cooking.

Well, I have to say, the recipe I tried didn't sound like anything I
made:)))

I didn't know that the DVR was in use, anymore. Anyway, Ingrid Bergman is in The Orient Express (1974). I liked that.

People are still using VCRs.
 
There's a DVR built into my cable box. I'd like to stop the cable service
and exclusively stream, but my husband complains whenever I suggest it.

It comes with DirecTV and I think DishTV, not to be confused with a VCR.
It's not a separate box but part of their package but I do have my own DVR.
 
I went to the theater to see 1974 version and loved and also have it saved
on my DirecTV box. She won a best supporting Oscar for her role.

I'm wanting to stop as well but dang it, I've got some good movies saved.
One that I have saved but have not viewed since I saved it is "The Boy in
the Striped Pajamas." It was very disturbing to me and I'm not sure why
I saved it. Another one that I like and saved was "One Tree Hill."
