No thanks. I went to Port Dover Fri. 13th once and it is only about an
hour and a half from here. Being in a crowd of 80,000 wanna bikers is
bad enough. I don't think I could handle a couple hundred thousand of
them. My neighbour goes down there every year, but is taking a pass on
it this year.
 
While I would not want to get involved with the bike meet it would be
nice to go out riding there. My neighbour had a GoPro or high quality
dash cam and recorded a ride through the hills. It was incredible.

Bikers look like they'd smell bad.

I'm not sure we've seen him _out_ of a manic stage for several years.

Almost done too.
 
Large skillet with some olive oil and butter.
Cook down a pound of onion and a pound of mushrooms (white).
Then add a little water and a lid and let it all cook more.
Finally, take off the lid and let some of the liquid
evaporate but still leave it very moist.
 
Good to add to almost any food.

I am making a vegetable relish...this week's include red onion, celery, all colors of bell peppers, corn, garlic, jalapenos...I use up quite a lot, it is good as a relish, added to salads, or just by itself...

Only if you like mushrooms. ;) Do those onions turn out to be
carmelized at all or just soft?

3. I plan on teaching my daughter how to make pan pizza. She gets one.
I have been getting pretty good with pizza. Everytime is a bit better.

I have a few cast iron pans but never liked the 12" one. I gave
that
to my daughter.

I can't remember the last time I used the 12" cast iron. If I need a
12" skillet I use my stainless.
 
I suppose if I was cooking on a grill over coals I might use it. I once
had a covered cast iron pot that I used to cook homemade vegetable beef
soup on a charcoal grill. That was during a 2 week power outage after
some nasty storms spawned tornadoes hit the mid-south hard. In the
early 1990's. Had to cook and eat a lot of stuff before it spoiled. I
baked a pan of cornbread in the 9" cast iron skillet on the grill. I
used my grandma's old no-name cast iron griddle to cook bacon and eggs
on the grill.
 
I had to drive to the office every day to find out if the office was
open because the phone lines were also out. (Cell phones were not yet
common.) I got dressed every day as if the office would be open, drove
over to find out... power on yet?
 
Ah, but I knew the break room with a large ice machine was connected to
the same generator as the computer room. So while I was checking to see
if I the office was open, I also took a small cooler with me and filled
it with ice.
 
Cast iron is handy for some things. :)

That's a good story but never read the book. The original
12 hour or so mini-series was good but later they shortened
it for movies to about 4 hours or so.
 
Anyway, I started a re read of an old good book,
"Jumper" (C-1992) by Steven Gould. I like that story.
 
Interestingly too, just last night the movie of it was on
tv. I've seen it before though and not near as good as the
book. They changed the story too much.
 
Two other books that I'd like to read first but still can't
find them here. I have them (paperbacks) but I have so many
books, still can't find them.
 
1) The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
2) Black like Me by ????

You could read *my* book.

LOL on the cat in the sink! Looks like my cat Persia (RB).
 
The galette looks tasty! I was thinking about your zucchini glut the
other day. Other ways I'd use zucchini would be to shred it and make
zucchini pancakes - similar to potato latkes with the obvious difference
being zucchini.
 
Zucchini is excellent split lengthwise, brushed with a little oil and
grilled. Or you could slice it into coins, batter (think tempura
batter) and fry it. It's also nice grated into tomato sauce. :)

Thanks.
 
I have a whole long list of zucchini things to make. I've already made pancakes, zoocanoes, zoodles, zucchini-tomato impossible pie (recipes all over the net) and the above mentioned galette.
 
And the cat pic is because today is also International Cat Day! Woo-hoo for us cat lovers. Not only that but that guy really *is* an *international* cat; he wandered into our AirBnB room in Mexico in January, jumped into my open suitcase, and said, "Take me home with you!" Turns out the B&B host rescued strays, and he was, so we did.

You're ahead of the game, then! :) When I was a teenager my dad had a
backyard garden. He always had way too many zucchini. Yes, he used to
sneak them onto the neighbors porches. LOL Tomatoes, too.

How cool is that? Nice he chose you! And now he's at home in the sink. :)
 
My cat Persia (I never did figure out where she came from) barged up to
my back door one cold January evening in TN and yowled until I let her
in. She wouldn't take no for an answer. I live here, dammit, open the
door! Grey-blue cats definitely have cattitude. :)

AARP lowered their age to 50 many years ago. Guess they needed
more suscribers.
 
I joined up at age 50 but they offered nothing that helped me
so I quit.
 
Then I joined again at age 64. Still nothing for me so I quit
again.
 
I get constant email and snail mail offers from them to this day.

Well, then they stopped having the AYCE, so I stopped going there. About a year later, I stopped in because they had some good deal on a poster on their window, and a woman who worked there pointed at me and told a coworker, "That's him. That's the guy who ate 11 pieces of fish."
 
> I was like, sure that's a lot, but I couldn't be the only one. She replied that no one had ever eaten that many pieces of fish, and I said, "I ate 12 at the one down on Hampton one time." It was true.
 
I loved Long John Silver's when they had one nearby. I never did
try the
fish planks. I always bought the chicken planks. Damn good eats.
 
Also Bryan... thanks for the heads up about the Target mini fans.
Looks like just what I want and the price is right!

A computer engineer degree from 1995 is totally worthless
unless he kept up with changing technology which he hasn't.

It's said that this is because guys remember what they were like when they were young. I remember what I was like, and while I had a voracious sexual appetite, I was always loving and respectful of my girlfriends. If I had a daughter, I'd be happy if she was with a guy like I used to be, except less into alcohol/drugs, and less underachiever. I'd hope she'd find a nice lover, who'd have his face between her legs every day, and she not be promiscuous, especially with males.
 
The only father who disliked me was my 1st GF's father, partly because I was Gentile, which was silly because they were totally secular. GF #2 moved in with me when she was 16, and her parents were fine with me. GF #3's parents were fine with me too, even though the first time they saw me, I had blue hair. That was in 1985. About 6 months later, we got married, and still are, blissfully.

LOL Gary. I think he meant he buys the rose scented CBD balm. Adding
Hershey's syrup to strong black Sumatran coffee makes it sound like a
kiddie drink. He should pour it over ice, add some coconut milk and
call it a mocha latte. ;)

Hemp used for weaving, making ropes or twine or paper does NOT come from
