I don't know about Thomas but I don't need three 12 inch cast iron skillets. The cast iron skillet I cooked the tenderloin steak is about 6 inches in diameter. Perfect size for a small steak or a burger. I have a 9" cast iron pan strictly used for baking cornbread. I rarely use the 12 inch cast iron skillet. They're all at least 25-30 years old; I don't recall what I paid for them. Probably $20 for all three. ;) Jill |

The 10# bags of leg quarters are from *retired* laying hens. That's why they're so large.

| Silvar Beitel <silverbeetle@charter.net>: Aug 08 07:12AM -0700 That's right! Today is ... National Sneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day! (Don't believe me? Look it up!) To celebrate this amazing holiday, last night's dinner was this savory zucchini galette from King Arthur Flour: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/savory-zucchini-galette-recipe Zucchini, grape tomatoes, and fresh basil from our garden. It was excellent, IIDSSM. Along with our first regular tomatoes of the season (eaten plain, nothing else needed) and some sweet corn from the neighbor down the street, freshly picked.

| John Kuthe <johnkuthern@gmail.com>: Aug 08 05:41AM -0700 It's a recipe from a local restaurant that I got in a newsletter years ago. I'll give you my slightly modified version: 5 lbs potatoes 4 cups 40% cream /w/ milk to thin (cooks off) 1-1.5 heads of fresh garlic (not the stuff in jars!) 1 tsp salt 1 tsp white pepper (black pepper works too, but makes black specks in the sauce!) Gruyere swiss cheese Peel (optional I suppose) and slice up the potatoes into chunk slices about 1/4 inch thick. Peel and mince the garlic, and I pare that little green plant out of the middle of each clove (A PITA, but it's kinda fun too!) In a large pot, put the potato pieces, the cream, the garlic and the salt and pepper and bring to a gentle boil for about 10-15 mins. Thin with a little milk to make it easy to stir. Then pour into a shallow baking pan like a lasagna pan, and grate Gruyere cheese on top. Bake at 350F for 40 mins or into until the Gruyere gets light golden brown. Let sit for 30 mins after baking, and enjoy! John Kuthe, Climate Anarchist, Suburban Renewalist and Vegetarian |

Time to run for > congress. 55 is the new 21. Folks used to think, "I don't want to age a day over 21 (the legal drinking age)," but at 55 folks become eligible for the early bird senior buffet special at Golden Corral. In truth, I've only eaten at Golden Corral twice in the last 30 years, and both times were because my young son requested it for a birthday, but man, you let me loose in there and I go for one thing, and one thing only, fried chicken. That reminds me of back in the 1990s, when I worked at the church I'd get off at 2:30, and sometimes I'd do the Long John Silver's all-you-can-eat fish Sundays. 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. --Bryan |

Having been a nudist, and especially having worked at a nudist resort, I've seen naked women of all shapes, sizes, and ages, and it wasn't erotic, but strip clubs are about eroticism. There's a reason it's called strip *tease*. It's not mere nudity, but sexual entertainment. The male brain is wired for seeking out sexual novelty, and there's always an interplay between ethical decency and fantasy that crosses ethical lines. It's actions that matter. Folks who view cads like Weinstein and even Epstein as perverts miss the point. They are victimizers, selfish assholes who have no regard for the humanity of their victims. The only difference between them and others who have no regard for the humanity of their victims is that the nature of their exploitation was sexual. We need to extend our horror at terrorizing and dehumanizing innocents to all persons, regardless of the flavor of their motives, but sex sells, and puritanism is part of our shared culture. Consensuality should ideally be the norm in all human personal interactions, and when folks don't exhibit behavior consistent with having a conscience, the collective should exact punishments. > Marx was wrong. Nurture has its limits. Human nature is what it is, and all we can realistically hope to do is develop social norms that reward ethical behavior more than exploitation. > --Bryan From Winter's Adventures?

This is the booklight I have: https://mightybright.com/collections/book-lights/products/ultrathin-book-light It's not the perfect solution but it beats holding a flashlight or, if you're stretched out on the couch or in bed, trying to balance a flashlight on your shoulder. :) So, what did you read during the outage? I'm re-reading James Clavell's 'Shogun'. Jill |
