Making a recipe is similar to painting by numbers. Pick something you like and just follow the steps. Simple recipes can actually be some of the very best. Start with good ingredients. |

Even still, I'm not sure how you point to 85 babies having the virus is somehow related to masks being ineffectual. Other than babies don't wear masks. Nobody wears masks around their family members or in their homes unless they're suspected or confirmed of being infected. I don't see your logic. But I believe that YOU do. -sw |

It's no longer going to be cheap. Their labor costs won't support cheap manufacturing. We're at a transition period where you can still get quality products at a remarkable price from China but that's not going to be the case for long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhFdC1jC2lM&t=788s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhFdC1jC2lM&t=788s |

| Sheldon Martin <penmart01@aol.com>: Jul 20 01:37PM -0400 >tomatoes on it right now . I don't call getting that much food from a >single plant a waste of time . Them that can , do . Them that can't >criticize . Home grown tomatoes are a waste of time and effort if you're going to cook them. Canned tomatoes are just as good if not better, cost less, and no labor. Anyone tells me that a vegetable garden is free food is lying. We grow far more tomatoes than we can eat but give the overage to others and in return they give us the overage from their crops. People with gardens tend to grow different crops so swapping is a win-win. Plus were I to cook all the tomatoes we grow we could never eat it all, we'd have to give it away only people tend not to want someone elses cooked tomatoes, they much prefer to cook their own... many would take them to be polite but then they'd not eat them. And there are plenty of farms around here where one can buy by the bushel for cheap. Several of our neighbors try to give us foods they've canned but we tell them thank you but we already have too much... truth is we really don't want other's cooking, especially not after seeing their kitchen. We have nearby neighbors with gardens who grow differant crops from ours so we swap. Our next door neighbor has a big family and grows lots of onions, garlic and potatoes. We grow a lot of different melons, cabbage, okra, winter and summer squash. We swap and and I have to tell him not to leave so much at our door as it's just the two of us and we can't eat 40 pounds of potatoes, 40 pounds of onions, and 40 heads of garlic before it goes bad. This year we will have a huge pumpkin patch, we really only grow pumpkin to display during the holidays, we will need to give nost away this year. We don't bother growing corn anymore, takes too much space and we can buy all we want from the farmers for cheap... there are corn fields close by for as far as the eye can see. I grow a lot of cukes for pickling and eat a lot while they're still small and have no hard seeds... I can polish off a dozen small kirbys at a sitting. At the end of the season I pick the green tomatoes for pickling.... but I gave up on cooking my garden tomatoes long ago... I don't do fried green tomatoes either, I'd much rather fried eggplant, only I grill slabs, much less oil. Pan fried eggplant can suck up oil like a Dyson. |

I don't drink Cola either, I prefer Sprite with my Crystal Palace. The only time I drink tea it's hot tea at a Chinese restaurant, goes well with Fly Lice.... one of my favorite dishes is Fly Lice drowned in Lobster Sauce. Iced tea is disgusting, iced coffee is doubly disgusting. |

Perhaps things are different where you live. McDonald's apple pies are pretty good but those aren't really apple pies. That's the breaks. |

My neighbor gives me a few per week from his garden. I give him my waste food for his compost. My mother's garden was unsuccessful this year. Since my father passed away she can't seem to succeed in the garden. For the first time in my life I'm eating store bough tomatoes at family gatherings.

I bet it would help but using landscape ties in your front yard for anything other than setting train track is BUTT ugly. |

Ours has sensible > regulations so no problem for me. My brother lives in a condo, so no paint schemes, lawn maintenance, fence style, or tuck-pointing issues. But still an HOA (or condo association?). One of the board members called the cops on him for having a little Smokey Joe on his balcony. Well, it turns out it's not illegal. So egg on her face. She got all huffy about it. At the next condo association meeting there were four new items on the agenda. Grilling on balconies, lock boxes on doorknobs (realtor style), welcome mats outside doors in the hallways, and stationary cars in the parking garage (tenants pay for their assigned spots there). Well, it's not hard to guess four things my brother has. Also, most votes are done by the board, not the homeowners. So if one member has sway on the board, they pretty much run most everything. Social media shows us just how easy it is to get people all riled up and side with your petty arguments - tell them their opinions before they have a chance to form their own. I don't know how that turned out for my brother, I'll ask. -sw |

I did it back in the 70's, when I was a mere tad of a lad. That was just a flat, primitive, gasket. The modern pressure cookers use a looser, thicker, gasket that uses the pressure in the cooker to form a tight seal. The higher the pressure, the tighter the seal. |
