Intellectual.
 
Google groups is trying out a new appearance. He can't figure out
how to switch back to the old look.
 
I tried it and didn't like it, so I switched back. I suppose eventually
GG will make the new look mandatory so I'll just get used to it.

Strange. Bryan says John's very intelligent and he knows him better
than any of us. Maybe it's the medication.

Some ladies whine about how much I have on my plate and you have all
that in your freezer?
 
I'm not even halfway through with the brownies from 10 or 12 days
ago, and rarely have frozen confections in my freezer.

I wasn't one whining about how much you have on your plate. My only
statement was I'd left off the corn on the cob, not a real fan unless
it's fried corn.

It's summertime and a frozen popsicle is much enjoyed although I'd not
refuse a brownie.
 
Bedtime!

Because climate is a nonlinear system, an increase in average
global temperatures does not necessarily result in monotonically
increasing temperatures at a specific location.

Is it wrong that I wear men's sweat pants?

Mine's a ballistic nylon trifold. Probably intended for a man, but
I don't care.

You're taking this much too literally. In animal farming/butchery,
the fore quarters and kind quarters are the sides of meat and bones
from the top/head and the bottom/aft of the animals, regardless of
how many actual feet it has.
 
I didn't just make it up.
 
https://www.google.com/search?q="chicken+hindquarters"
 
I use both "leg quarters" and "hind quarters" interchangeably -
which is culinarily acceptable. But knowing some people <ahem> get a
kick out of it, I'll use latter from now on.
 
I gotta use "capsicum" more, too (red/green/yellow/orange bell
pepper).

Didn't you stop to think it wasn't going to be top quality chicken?

After all that it's hard to know what was left of the original taste. It
gives processed food an new meaning.

People here don't seem to care about that. Price is what counts! The
English may call the Scottish stingy and the Belgians may call the
Dutch stingy, but Americans take the cake. But only when it's BOGO, of
course.

> How are you reheating it?
 
I try not to [reheat steak]. I try to cook just enough to satisfy my
appetite and not have to reheat steak. I definitely wouldn't recommend
a microwave.
 
Just the other day I cooked a lovely 1-1/4" thick beef tenderloin filet
in a cast iron skillet.
 
I'd seasoned it with salt and wrapped it in cling wrap and kept it cold
for a couple of days. Then I cooked it in a very small cast iron
skillet in just a bit of butter. Pan just hot enough to get a nice sear
on one side without burning the butter. I turned and seared the other
side. I turned down the heat and seasoned with course black pepper and
some garlic powder. I let it cook in the cast iron pan in it's own
juices (it was nicely marbled) for about 15 minutes. I kept an eye on
it, made sure it wouldn't burn or overcook. I could see from looking at
the side of the steak it was still fairly rare.
 
Sure enough, when I took it out of the pan and cut into it, it was
seared but not crunchy/crusty. Cooked to beautifully rare yet steaming
hot in the center. Tender, juicy, delicious. I ate all of that small
steak. I doubt it would have been nearly as good reheated even in the
same skillet I used.
 
BTW, that's about the best darn steak I've ever eaten. I do hope I can
replicate it next time around. :)

Speaking of cast iron, check out Amazon deal. 19 bucks for a Lodge 12 inch skillet.
Bought 3.
Thomas <canope234@gmail.com>: Aug 08 01:20AM -0700

How much was the plant? I have 20 plants inside, 3 bamboo. The bamboo are getting old, 15 plus years and looking for some new.
Latest buy was a small prayer plant. Bought a nice ceramic planter to transfer to and it is looking good.

Friend of mine use to smoke. He had a heart attack and the ambulance
was taking him out They asked if he smoked. He said "I used to but
quit" So they asked how long ago and he replied "when my wife called 911"
 
Bill had five more heart attacks but it is not what killed him. Timely
story though, where I am staying this week is with his wife at the shore
house. He was a great guy.

I much prefer Hurricane (oil) lamps to candles with exposed flame.
Better ambiance, too. :) I haven't had to use them in a while.
 
Seriously, when it comes to reading books during a power outage, get a
booklight. I have a small battery LED booklight that clips onto the
book. When the power went out for four days due to Hurricane Matthew, I
treasured that booklight after dark. During the day the blinds were
open and even though it was cloudy there was plenty of light. I have no
idea how many windows Gary has in his apartment. Just saying, a
booklight is a good thing to have in the event of "nothing to do here
but read". :)

I don't have an oil lamp but when power failures occur you certainly wish
you had one if you don't have an emergency generator.

I hope not to have a need for an oil lamp, candles, or a book lamp. But
a book lamp would be nice to have while reading in bed during a power
failure.

Very sorry. I was living on Staten Island when the grid went off for about
two weeks. Mostly I laid in bed, listening to the news station on the radio.
 
I was the only one in the area with a corded phone. Everyone came to my
house to use it. Cell towers were out.
 
I remember eating very little in the course of the day. Maybe some peanuts,
kidney beans and green beans. We'd pass the cans around, take a bite, then
throw them out. The heat made us feel sick. Water wasn't much of a help as
it came out of the tap hot.
