The more they say "natural", the more it's crap. And chicken fat? Do
Americans drop dead if they eat something with no corps juices in it?

Ewww. And what the hell are bacon fat and pork fat doing in a can of

like Dracula.

It's not smart to exclude 100% of their actual buyers by making a
product that they wouldn't recognize as the named dish and wouldn't
enjoy the taste.

Fake Buffalo Wings covers every food on Earth.
 
I had a fake roast beef sandwich for breakfast. It was 2 eggs, ham,
and cheese.

Hence my second comment about them having to be wings. You called
your breast strips wings....

Don't know if it is the same in the US but about a year ago they
stopped selling 'real' chicken wings, just as they come off the
chicken, 3 piece with two joints. Now they only sell the chopped up
rubbish. Since I like to bake them plain, all the liquid drains out
in the cooking. I have, thankfully, found one store that still sells
the wing intact, so I do a short drive every so often to stock up on
them.

3? Chickens only have 2 wings.

A chicken wing has two joints that correspond to the human wrist and
elbow, separating three sections that correspond to the human hand,
forearm, and upper arm.

Anybody who isn't trying to pick a fight would recognize my "Fake
Buffalo Wings" as a higher-protein, lower-fat alternative to wings.

Trump is a grifter. In business he's swindled customers, suppliers and
workmen all his life. Before that, he swindled the taxman.
 
His neice reminds us he's not self-made but inherited most of his wealth.
 
His achievement has been to con people. :(

If I did that I would be as poorly informed about other countries as Trump
is.

If America is so smart then why is it in the current mess? It's like watching
a reality tv show and trying to tell the participants, "Wake up, your
nightmare really is reality!"

Strange thing is America never comes top of any international satisfaction
survey. It's rich but unhappy.
 
Nobody I know wants is applying to live America.

So I have been working on building my own pizza oven over the past month. It
is about ready to start doing some really firing and pizza making.
 
Do any of you guys have advice on pizza dough? Any suggested recipes?
Also what is the best way to fire a pizza oven? This is technically a cob oven.
 
I made this using cob, which is a mix of clay and sand. I used about a 1:1 ratio and built up nearly 6 inches thermal mass. I made it to be modile, so during the winter I can move it to the garage so it hopefully last longer.
 
If you want to see how I made it, heres a link:

They won't be there long enough to corrode anyway. Copper gutters are a

My wife doesn't care for meat loaf even without onions. I make it for
me however I want, and with onions... I make enough to freeze several
slices. I defrost how much I want in the fridge, I much prefer cold
meat loaf sandwhiches. When cold there is no onion aroma.
There are lots of foods she likes that I don't like, however we
respect each other's likes and dislikes. I detest the smell of tea
with hot milk, she has her tea when I'm not around. I detest the odor
of burnt toasted bread so now she knows to turn on the exhaust fan
when toasting bread. We don't argue about foods, actually we don't
argue about anything, definitely not about what to eat, probably why
we've been happily married since '91.
It's much easier to get along when there's no control freak... I think
most marriges fail because one or both are control freaks. And since
I do ALL the cooking and she's very happy that I do, so it's very easy
for me to prepare what she likes and what I like. We both like most
foods, there are only a few that we don't like and we both have the
same dislikes, we both despise lamb. My wife doesn't like runny eggs,
that's very easy to work around, I put her's in the pan first and
leave her's in the pan a minute longer. Right now I'm stewing yellow
crookneck squash fresh picked from our garden, usually I'd add a
sliced onion but a large can of whole tomatoes and Italian herbs was
fine without the onion. Garlic doesn't bother her so I added two
cloves of minced... and a 1/4 stick of butter, s n'p to round it off.
I could have added a few sliced carrots and potatoes but was too lazy
to peel. As it is I filled an 8 qt pot... a lot of nice squash for a
first harvest... will be a lot more very soon. Cukes are coming and
lots more. WTF don't you have a garden... a grown man living all
alone paying rent yet, no ferret either... what's wrong with you?

I cut the cable about four years ago and have never regretted it.
There is more than I could ever watch. I do have netflix and that is
$9 a month, a pittance compared to cable :)

I last saw AMND at the Globe in London's South Bank. The production in
this replica of a theatre from Shakespeare's time was truly magical.

Thanks, Leo! As I mentioned in another post, I have retired from a
professional lifetime of marketing my qualifications etc. and don't
relish the thought of starting again - but it seems that I must:-(
