I bought some saimin from 7-Eleven recently. You get it from the refrigerated case. I asked the woman where the soup for the noodles was. She said to stick it in the microwave and it comes out. I stuck it in the microwave and indeed the soup did indeed come as if in an enchanted spring. Ye Gods - what sort of black magic is this?

I haven't tried that - yet.
But I think I will, the next time I make a chocolate cake.

Buttermilk is definitely worth trying. The smallest quantity I can get
is a litre and that is hard to use up. I found a supply of powdered
figuring there would no waste, but that stuff was pricey. I was better
off getting the litre and trying to use it up within 2-3 weeks.
Buttermilk is great for biscuits, scones, pancakes and waffles.

I am not a lawyer so don't take my advice to court, but in my
experience, the executor of the will is usually instructed to divide the
estate among the heirs as per the wishes of the deceased and they are
often instructed to liquidate assets. There is usually an estate account
set up into which money and the proceeds of asset sales go. The way I
understand it is that executor has the authority to sell the property to
you. The money then goes into the estate account to be divided among the
heirs.
 
I heard a funny story about that from Cheap Bob's brother. Their father
had real estate holdings all over the country. Bob's brother Andre was
the executor and one of the properties was in the city in Saskatchewan
where he lived. He looked into opening up a coffee shop and was all set
to go ahead. He had the property professionally appraised and arranged
the financing. Then Cheap Bob got together with their two sisters and
they got told him they were not accepting his offer. They wanted more
money. He replied that it was not a negotiable offer. That is what he
was willing to pay and they would have had their money right away, so
they can go and screw themselves. The deal was off he would arrange to
sell it through a realtor so it was going to take a lot longer to
liquidate it and there would be real estate commission and lawyer fees.
I never did hear how it turned out.

Indeed, downing a tall glass of milk is not moderation. Americans may have cut down on milk consumption but some old-timers will still promiscuously guzzle milk on a daily basis. That very thought just turns my delicate tummy in knots. I suppose it's better than being hooked of Crystal Palace or prescription pain-killers. We should just be grateful. 😺

A tall glass of ice cold milk _is_ moderation. A gallon of milk
is immoderate.

Bruce, you won't convince anyone here to follow your lifestyle. Most
of our younger people like fad heath diets like 'GF' and are gobbling
cheeseburgers and GMO cornchips with processed sodas made with corn
syrup.

LOL, we know that Ed. He's just pointing out a flaw in the values of
the survey.

)
2 x 50 g tins anchovy fillets in oil ( 60 g drained

Put the veg in a roasting tin, lay the meat on top, add

redcurrants on the bushes
