A Texas Twinkie looks wonderful. I'll never have one unless I get down there to Hutchins. I am thinking of of baking a stuffed Anaheim wrapped in shortcrust. It would be the Texas Twinkie's less exciting cousin.
 
I bought the peppers yesterday. The lady at the checkout asked me what kind of peppers it was. I couldn't remember. The only thing I knew was they was big, green, and $2.99/lb. I told her that I thought they were Anaheim peppers but she was doubtful. The Hawaiian don't know much about large peppers - I suspect that we'll know more in about 20 years.

All of them don't? As a group? What a huge coincidence! Or maybe it's
genetic.

Never heard of those but I looked them up and they
sound delicious. I'm surprised that Steveo has
never mentioned them. Sounds right up his alley.
 
Wait for it though. He probably has made them and might respond
with an old photo. :)

My grandparents (my mother's parents) had 9 kids. Her father was
a lifetime coal miner back before coal miners unionized so they
were poor folks. They had about an acre of land to grow all their
own vegetables that were processed and home canned. Enough to
last a year until next season.
 
They also had 2 large apple trees, chickens, a milk cow. Grandpa
hunted for most of their meat. I don't know how they did all that
but they managed. I guess you learn to live within your means.
They always had plenty of food for family and visitors. I do
remember that gramma spent all of her time in the kitchen, either
processing garden food or cooking. That was her entire life other
than church every sunday morning.
 
Good mountain folk, they were and very fond memories. As a young
kid, I got to spend alot of time with them in the summers.

thanks, i don't really much care since i'm just some

a dog (or god if you're dyslexic)).

most of them i grow for us to eat, since i really
like beans i also do selections from the out-crosses
that show up over the years, so i have trials/experiments
from that, i also trade varieties with people and this
past year i went to my first seed swap and that was fun
so i'm growing more this year so i have a better
selection for giving away this coming seed swap and do
grow outs for someone else:
 
http://www.abeancollectorswindow.com/
 
he has a large collection and can't grow them all in
his gardens so he will send people beans to grow and
then at the end of the season you send some back to him.
it works out pretty well in that you can pick up some
new varieties for the cost of postage (sending them
back).

i grew up helping Mom can and also learned how to
cook and do everything else too. i've always liked
plants, gardens, biology, etc. at present i do live
with Mom again so it is fun. we do about 100 quarts
of dill pickles and another 100 quarts of tomatoes
each year (we've downsized some for tomatoes as we
used to do 200-300 quarts some years). i also used
to make pickled beets and three been salad, but we
don't do those any more because nobody eats them as
much as i was making and i'm trying to not have as
much sugar. strawberries are my other big crop.

i live a very simple life. i'm pretty close to
being a hermit these days.

that is similar to my Grandma. if you visited her
she would put food in front of you bits at a time and
as long as you sat at the table she'd keep bringing it.
even after you got up and went into another room she'd
often bring you snacks. Mom learned most of her cooking
from Grandma so we have all the family recipes for the
Italian foods she made. large family, Grandma was
smart, her first child was a girl, the next nine were
all boys.

they had the family farm (my Grandma's parents) where
all the kids were expected to help out. eventually they
sold it so some college could have a place. i spent only
a little time there as we moved away when i was rather
young. Grandma lived in the city. we did visit her a
fair bit.

He was also one of those silver-tongued devils and could get people to see things his way and get himself out of fixes. The Army knew this and sent him all over the Pacific to procure materials and supplies. Yesterday, at lunch, he said that when he got his pinsetter friend at the bowling alley to knock down pins from behind. Beats me how that works.

I have relatives I don't love (or barely know). There's no assumption
that one loves one's relatives.
 
I'm getting to the age where "gravity - it sucks".

My daughter was not a bitch but she had every right to expect a
modicum of money from him, she was working hard but money was in short
supply for the extra things for the children. Suffice to say a few
years later she remarried and is still happily married to him, he is
an excellent step father, they think the world of him.

Men often get shafted when it comes to contact with the children after
a divorce. Deadbeat men are assholes, but women can be controlling
bitches.

All is true. But women can be deadbeat assholes too. Society
doesn't seem to realize that. My wife and I split when our
daughter was in 2nd grade. Wife didn't want her so there was no
custody conflict there. I raised her by myself all her growing
years and I willingly took that on. Never got one penny of child
support ever. Ex-wife always talked about how she was so poor,
yet she lived in a nice neighborhood, drove a mercedes car and
always ate at the best restaurants. Her job was paid tax free so
she didn't have any income to show.
 
I just let it go and didn't argue. I was so happy to have the
daughter 24/7 and not be an absentee dad.
 
Women always bitch and groan about no child support. I never got
any so I just dealt with it. It's always about the poor women,
never a thought about the men in the same situation. Society is
still very biased.

That is a lot. I wonder how many keep them for the ferret's
lifetime though. They are a very popular new pet but so many
adopt one without knowing what it's like to have one constantly.
They are a very common pet that people get rid of within a year.
Too much trouble to care for.
 
In a pet store, young ferrets sell themselves easily. Ask to hold
one for a minute and it will be very hard to leave that store
without it. Plus an expensive cage, food, toys, etc.
 
That's why adopting one is better. Sad enough that someone
ditched it after it got used to a good home. If I adopt one I
would never consider doing that. Exactly the same to me as giving
up your child for adoption just because they're too much trouble.
 
Moving to a new place that doesn't allow pets? That new place
would not be an option for me. My ferret(s) are family...a
package deal.
 
I remember once when my business of 20 years was failing during
the Bush recession (and it wasn't all because of that), I was
faced with maybe not being able to pay all my bills and having to
move out. Well, if you have to move out because you can't pay
bills, where the hell do you go? My parents told me, you can
always move back in with us. Nice to have that emergency backup
but then they told me that I was welcome but not my ferret (just
one at the time). Immediately, so much for that option. No way,
won't ever happen.
 
 
 
Ferrets will be your friends for life and they should be treated
the same. Three of my 4 ferrets were "rescue" ferrets. One was a
tiny baby one from a pet store. All of them lived with me until
they died. Mia was the last one to go. Dammit.

Some animals you mourn over when they die and others you have
slaughtered and eat. Schizo.

You also pick and choose what animals to save or eat.
Quit thinking you are so superior, hypocrite-boy.
 
I remember once, we were talking about extreme
emergency/starvation situations. Surprisingly, good ol' Cheri
said that she would kill and eat her beloved cat (or dog?) if it
came down to that final choice. I was really surprised with that
comment.
 
I would never do that to my ferrets. We can just die (of
starvation) together.
I wouldn't kill my daughter if starving.
Would you kill your wife, Brucey?
Maybe not as she's not a worthless seafood creature.
 
Seriously though, since you don't like to kill animals for food,
you REALLY need to turn vegan and respect all living creatures,
not just pick and choose who lives or dies. Think about that.

I use a hunk of crumpled heavy duty aluminum foil for light grill cleaning.
I have a hose and a steel brush for the serious grill cleaning jobs!

Indeed. My understanding is that this group will now be operating under
the rules of common courtesy and guidelines established during the early
days. That's fine with me. It's been a long time coming. I'll do my part
and force carriage returns as long as people do their part and treat
each other with common courtesy. You'll have to bear with me for a while
until I get better at counting while typing. I see rfc becoming a much
more friendly and inviting place. Phrase the Lord!
