HOT GERMAN POTATO SALAD Origin: Dorothy Glaeser 8 Slices of bacon, diced. Fry until done but not crispy. Remove from the pan and drain Keep 4 Tablespoons bacon fat in the pan. Saute (in the bacon fat) until golden, one large onion, diced. Add: 4 Tablespoons white sugar 2 Tablespoons white flour 1 teaspoon table salt Add: ¼ cup white vinegar 1 ½ cups water Stir over medium heat until smooth. Use red skinned potatoes, about 3 pounds. Boil them whole until a paring knife just pierces the potato. Peel and slice the potatoes. I slice each potato into the sauce separately so that the potatoes don't stick together. Stir in the bacon. Keep warm until service Janet US ====== Thank you:) -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

He'd be amazed if he ever ate at a *real* quality restaurant. Can you imagine a chef letting a salad out of his kitchen that wasn't properly dressed? And none of this "Do you want Ranch, Eyetalian, Blue Cheese, or Thousand Island?" You get the dressing that matches the salad. Cindy Hamilton |

It doesn't have to be drowning and possibly a small bowl of extra dressing could available on the table if it weren't quite enough to your taste. > even so-so restaurnats bring the dressing asked for or bring assorted > packets of dressings... you're obviously used to dinning in grade > school lunchrooms. Well, I've been in many 'quality' restaurants and the salad comes with the dressing on top of the salad fixings. Once again, it's not swimming in the dressing but it's not served with it on the side either. |

Once again, it's not swimming in > the dressing but it's not served with it on the side either. I'm talking five star restaurants and those that aspire to be. Even the quite nice place where I get a $10 meal-sized Greek salad tosses the lettuce with the dressing. (Yes, I know _real_ Greek salads don't have lettuce, but this is America.) Same thing with our Turkish restaurant, although I don't often get the salad since their soups are extraordinary. At ordinary restaurants, I don't mind dressing on the side, especially if the alternative is to have the salad inundated with dressing. Cindy Hamilton |

Sounds like he's talking about of oil & vinegar cruets and a green leafy salad on a table in Brooklyn. ;) Jill |

The worst one I've seen was someone who just stopped in the circle. I think it was to yield to someone trying to enter. I wish my SUV had a more authoritative horn. The one on my 1974 Impala could make college students levitate when I used it. Cindy Hamilton |

I am all for stopping and blocking them and make them go back and do it right. People around here have a really dangerous habit of swinging into incoming lanes and traffic if their lane is blocked. If there is a vehicle parked part way out on the road, a stopped delivery vehicle or garbage truck they just swing over to your lane instead of waiting to make sure it is clear. I was on the motorcycle last week and played chicken with a pickup truck. There was a garbage truck stopped in his lane so he assumed he had total access to mine. I guess I was supposed to squeeze over to the shoulder. I stopped. He stopped and waited for me to back up. Nope. I moved forward and waited a minute or two for him to realize he was in the wrong. He backed up. |

Those double circle roundabouts work pretty spiffy - but you have to know about how they work before getting on one. Well, unless you're an American in the UK. In that case, you just get on one and find out the subtleties of these Brit traffic flow control thingies "on the job", so to speak. We have some roundabouts in our little town. Yay! Unfortunately, they were designed by people that don't know what they're doing and used by people that don't know how they work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOdU1EE-ves |

At least >the national parks that I go to are still making them of boards. >Janet US National Parks use wooden walkways, nothing permanent like concrete that would alter the esthetics. The scenery from NY boardwalks is so spectacular that words are inadequate. The New York Boardwalks; Coney Island, Rockaways, Riiss Park, etal are all made of boards/lumber. They are good for walking, pushing carriages, wheelchairs, bike riding. They are very sturdy, and have withstood the severest hurricanes. Brooklyn's boardwalks offer the most spectacula vistas on the planet and the exqusite aromas from food cooking are unmatched anywhere. I can clearly understand how a skinny melink can scoff down a hundred Nathans hotdogs, it's the scenery, the salt air, and the most spectacular wimmens parading their goods on the boardwalk in the teeniest bikinis. https://search.aol.com/aol/image;_ylt=A0geKYkyHjRfkywAuAZpCWVH;_ylu=X3oDMTByMHVzM20zBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMzBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?q=new+york+boardwalks&v_t=loki-keyword |
| Silvar Beitel <silverbeetle@charter.net>: Aug 12 11:39AM -0700 I am basking in finishing a job that has been bugging me for a while. I have a main pantry, which is a heated room in the back of the house with a freezer, small fridge, cabinets, and some wire shelves I bought a couple of months ago to change a pile of old milk crates into some semblance of organization, and a secondary pantry, which was basically a table out in the (unheated but attached to the house) barn, covered to overflowing with all the stuff that can tolerate freezing temperatures (which is generally a good thing, as the freezing kills off grain moths, etc.) (That last is probably the longest sentence I've typed in a while. :-) ) As part of our "Get our freakin' act together while COVID-19 gives us the opportunity," I ordered some chrome wire shelving to replace the table. I wish I'd taken a "before" picture of the messy overloaded dirty table so I could show you how out-of-hand things had gotten, but I don't gots. Instead, you get (L to R) 1) a picture of the half of wall in the warm pantry that the first wire shelving now occupies (just to show the shelving), 2) the new large (72" W x 74" tall x 14" deep) shelving in place in the barn, 3) the new shelves populated (oh, look at how much unused space there is! swoon!) and 4) a gratuitous shot of the banh mi I made for lunch today (neener, neener). https://photos.app.goo.gl/u4jUVpghb6FiwKSJ8 Wire shelving is Nexel brand from globalindustrial.com. Showed up 3 days after I ordered it. Considerably stronger than what you find in the big box stores, for similar prices, and American made. I do recommend! -- Silvar Beitel |

I'm a little envious. I have a couple of wooden shelving units in what used to be the dining room (we eat at the coffee table in the living room, like college kids). Overflow storage in the basement.

Sure, I could learn to work around that, but I don't have to. Put a Revere pan on an electric coil stove, put a little water in it and crank the burner up. You'll see bubbles forming in a coil pattern. Why should I fight that kind of poor behavior in my tools? Cindy Hamilton |
