Expensive chicken with no wings. We had it twice in our lives but not
worth the money.

Mum made rabbit stew countless times during my childhood. I used to think
the rabbit kidneys a great delicacy and my parents would give them to me if
they found them in their portions.

Watch all the flowers
Dance with the wind
Listen to snowflakes
Whisper your name
Feel all the wonder
Lifting your dreams
You can fly
 
Fly to who you are
Climb upon your star
You believe you'll find your wings
Fly to your heart
 
Touch every rainbow
Painting the sky
Look at the magic
Glide through your life
A sprinkle of pixie dust circles the night you can fly.

In the USA, ALDI brands some products, *Specially Selected*. They
are always very high quality, and aren't cheap.

I haven't seen that here, but I'll check. I always see ALDI brands
like "Milfina". Can't remember the others. Maybe they're just for the
Australian market.

The quality may be good but I find it offensive that you use such
antiquated language when speaking of Alaskan Natives. Even Eskimo Pies
have been re-named
 
What's the new name for Eskimo?
Alaska Natives increasingly prefer to be known by the names they use in
their own languages, such as Inupiaq or Yupik. "Inuit" is now the
current term in Alaska and across the Arctic, and "Eskimo" is fading
from use. The Inuit Circumpolar Council prefers the term "Inuit" but
some other organizations use "Eskimo"
 
Perhaps a few of us here can qualify to be an Eskimo though. '
"This name is considered derogatory in many other places because it was
given by non-Inuit people and was said to mean 'eater of raw meat,'" it
said.

The weird thing is that the guys explored north western Canada had
Indian guides, and that was the name that the Indians called them. I had
a friend who was part Eskimo, and he often used the word Eskimo, though
he said they called themselves Inuit. He had Scottish ancestors who
were Hudson Bay Company factors... managers of the trading posts. His
grandfather married an Eskimo.
 
His father had moved south and worked in a local factory. After he
retired he moved back up to Baker Lake.

Ah, like Canadian Boy Leader Justin Trudeau does, I shall cower in shame whilst I
apologise...
 
"Inuit on a stick" shall be it, then...

Back in the Old West, a bad drummer sold arsenic as a cancer cure.
Sorry, couldn't help it :-(

For me music stopped evolving after "Beautiful Brown Eyes". That song
had real meaning.

I do often listen to the SiriusXM station for 50's and some newer but a
lot of the newest contemporary to me is terrible. I'll take Neil
Diamond over Selina Gomez.
 
Right now I'm listening to Billy Andrusco on YouTube.

I don't know what I would opt for if we had a pool on whether or not he

tire, snowed in, cracked up the car backing out his driveway,

I used to go on weekend hunting trips in January and slept on a
fold-out, aluminum framed canvas cot with a thin but efficient mattress
under the stars.
Occasionally, it would drop below 10F, but I never got cold. I have a decent
sleeping bag, heavy socks and down long johns.
To get below zero, I maybe would have needed a balaclava. Ah, those were
the days! I must have been nuts.

"They" say it is. I've never been in humid heat. I've never seen Spanish
moss. I've never been to the summit of Mount Everest. There are so many
things I've never experienced, and I'm running out of time!
But, and this is important, a energy efficient swamp cooler works real well
with dry heat ;-)

Goofy fact: Spanish Moss is distantly related to pineapple. ;) Swamp
coolers don't work well with humid so I guess you are doing okay. :)

It's usually pretty humid here sitting between two of the Great Lakes.
Cold is colder and hot is hotter. We start melting by the time it hits
80F. When I went to California it was generally in the low 90s and was
quite comfortable. When we were up by Soledad it was 113. It was hot but
not really uncomfortable. Hiking around in a redwood forest at 105 was
comfortably hot.
 
Our winters generally hover in the 15-39 range. You need to bundle up.
Further north the temperatures are much lower, but it doesn't feel as
cold. When it gets really cold you need to bundle up and keep covered to
protect from frostbite, but usually much more comfortable.
 
I worked outside and I found that the worst month was November. The cold
damp weather was raw and chilled to the bone.

I've been to LV in August a couple of times. When you hit 100 it is not
no matter where you are but not as bad a Florida in August. Swamp
coolers don't work here.
 
Never been to Mt. Everest either, but have been to Death Valley. Easier
to get to.

Stuffed pork chops
Steamed green beans
 
Simple and very tasty. Use whatever type of stuffing/dressing crumbs
you would use for stuffing poultry. I prefer cornbread. Cut a pocket
in the center of bone-in thick cut pork chops. Spoon in the already
prepared moist stuffing. Season both sides of the pork chops with S&P
and some dried sage. Place in a lightly oiled glass baking pan (or add
some butter to the oil). Bake at 325F for about 40 minutes then check
the temp. Avoid the temptation to turn the stuffed chops. The chops
will be lightly browned on each side, fork tender and the stuffing quite
moist and hot.
 
Steamed green beans don't need any explanation. :)
