It's strange that people who normally don't bother about child labor or the environment or anything else (not referring to anybody in particular), suddenly use it as an argument against electric cars. |

That's a good thing - they were spending too much time charging that thing up and her new car is certainly a nice ride. Saving the planet will have to wait a few more years but she should get credit for the time she has already spent. > No she relapsed. That's frowned upon. For some folks, an electric car is not a practical option. Having one's life ruled by having to strategically map out charger location is no way to live. Charging the car was free but still wasn't worth the hassle. That's just my awesome opinion. |

These beat the heci out of the gluey white grits I remember as a teenager. No guarantees, mind you, but they might change your mind about grits. I'd have sprinkled some cheese on top (always a plus) but I don't have the right cheese on hand right now. Jill |

"A 9kg gas bottle is considered the standard size BBQ gas bottle and is roughly equivalent to a 20 lb propane tank." I think we had one of those with a spare standing by. With a connection against an outer wall of the house. It worked, but electricity is easier. >When we bought our house, it had a 500-gallon propane tank: ><http://www.missiongas.com/500gallontank.htm> >That's more typical for cold-climate heating needs. I never see anybody with a beast like that. Maybe it's also used for heating. |

You can get much larger too if you heat with propane. |

Running an electric pump to heat stuff up is more efficient than running current through a wire to heat it up. OTOH, a piece of resistance wire is a lot cheaper than an electric motor, pump, and heat exchangers. |

I've never heard of that either. Perhaps the inspector found some health/safety violations but all John cares about is the pink and purple paint so he's not telling us everything. Cindy Hamilton |

We might never know, because he's embarrassed to talk about his lack of tenants for some reason. I was just curious. |

Of course, they downplayed her looks in "The Heiress." She was supposed to look like someone no man would really be interested and a plain Jane. What made her 'attractive' to fortune-hunter Montgomery Cliff was her money. If she'd been pretty as a picture in the movie men would have been swarming about her and she could have had her pick. But then we wouldn't have the movie as it was presented, would we? |

| Sqwertz <sqwertzme@gmail.invalid>: Jul 28 02:22PM -0500 Sqwertz's Climactic Brownies A Super Fudgy Browned Butter and Brown Sugar Brownie. You probably have everything you need to make these RIGHT NOW! Why resist? 3 sticks (12 ounces) Salted butter [or unsalted and add 1 ts of table salt to batter] 8 ounces Milk Chocolate Morsels 13 ounces White Sugar 5 ounces Light Brown Sugar 6 large Eggs (cold) 1.5 TB Vanilla 4.5 ounces All-Purpose Flour 4 ounces Cocoa Powder Heat oven to 350F Make browned butter: In a 2qt or larger saucepan melt and cook butter over medium heat until it starts to foam and the bubbling/sputtering stops. Stir a few times, especially after solids sink to bottom, to make sure they don't burn. Butter should be medium golden yellow. Immediately remove from burner. Stir in chocolate chips until incorporated. Allow to rest 10 minutes while you... Pan: Line a 9 x 12 x 2" metal - not glass or ceramic - baking dish with [nonstick] foil as flat and neatly as possible. Fold edges over outside to use to lift the brownies out of the pan after cooling. Batter: In small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and flour. In large bowl mix eggs, sugars, vanilla, [salt if using unsalted butter], and vanilla. Beat with electric hand mixer on medium for 2 minutes. Incorporate the butter-chocolate mixture on low speed. Add in the flour-cocoa mixture and mix until roughly incorporated. Finish the mixing with your hand whisk or rubber spatula until fully incorporated, making sure to scrape bottom of bowl. [Tasting: Lick the beaters/spatula - AFTER detaching beaters from unit first!] Bake: Pour batter into your foil-lined metal baking dish and place on middle rack in pre-heated oven. Clean up the mess you made while the brownies bake for 35 minutes or until thermometer reads 210F in middle of brownie (not the bottom of the pan) no comes out barely clean, but no longer (check at 30 minutes). Allow to cool for at least an hour. |

Since oxtails became > sought after by upmarket restaurants, the price has shot up. Oxtails are very expensive now but they make such a nice soup/stew! I don't recall exactly where we were - in transit someplace in the mid-1960's when my father had been transferred yet again. We stopped at a diner while driving across the country, somewhere in the middle of the US. Dad was thrilled to find oxtail stew on the menu! My mother, brothers and I had never heard of it. We stuck with the rather pedestrian, familiar spaghetti & meatballs. LOL I never actually tasted oxtails until I was in my late 20's. I know the price has gone waaaay up since then. But they make for some of the richest, best tasting beef stock/soup ever! > the retail market , I think they all get ground up for junkfood > products. > Janet UK I do remember there used to be "stewing hens" and then there were "fryers". These days most whole chickens aren't labeled that way. Jill |
