Breath deep Druce! That wonderful canadian aroma will waft into
your nostrils.
 
At first, it will smell like an ordinary dutch shit pot, but within
minutes, you'll smell the new aromas. Strange to you. But
irresistible rectum odors that move you to sniff.

I have no idea. I do recall when he first bought the house there was
repair work done on that clay tile roof. He bragged about how much
money he paid those people, too. Now he's having to have it re-done.

If I had to live on only one kind of food it would be meat loaf...
most meat loaf is disgusting, made with mystery meat. I make meat
loaf often, but with home ground meat. Anyone who eats store ground
mystery meat is very SICK! Imagine, people nuy a $700 top of the line
outdoor grill and make burgers with mystery meat... VERY SICK!!!

Strange choice then.

No particular reason to use cast iron, it's just that I leave my cast iron on top of the stove, instead of putting them away, 'cause they're heavy. So I guess I use cast iron for the convenience. It's right in front of me, so I just grab it.
 
If I make a beef or pork roast, I brown them in the cast iron, then add the rack and continue in the oven. I use cast iron for almost everything. Hubby washes them, them dries them on the gas stove.

Meatloaf. how do you mean you don't like it? Pi-tooie! Spit it
out or just 'I didn't care for that, let's not have it again'? Was it
the texture, seasoning, saucing, what? (no big deal, I'm just
curious) I only ask because there are so many approaches to meatloaf.
Some people religiously follow a recipe, others load it with
vegetables, or put whole hard boiled eggs in there, or season to mimic
certain cuisines. Or drench the top in BBQ sauce, or catsup or?
What is your style?

I only cook for two of us and one lb is fine. The proportions can be increased obviously. One to one and a half lbs is enough for supper for hubby and I, then he has just enough left for a lunch sandwich for work later in the week. I used to cook for a bottomless pit when we still had a teenager here, but he's grown at 42 with kids of his own now. I don't want a freezer full of leftovers. Works for me.

Ophelia is spreading her usual poisonous rumours on rec.food cooking again
-- although not on uk.politics.misc where she would get called out in a
trice.
 
She's clearly freaked out about Anthony Bourne (Fat Tony) who must have
given her a spanking over something in the past. She's provokes a lot of
adverse responses, so who knows what happened.
 
In other groups, posters say Anthony Bourne might be "Judith" but I
haven't seen any posts in a while. Others say he's one of the u.p.m
spammers. {shrug}

The quickest way to defrost a turkey is to soak it in a salt solution. You know how they salt the road to melt ice? Same thing.

I can no longer brine a turkey because most cheap turkeys come pre-brined. If I can't brine a turkey, I can't do a quick defrost. What I'm not going to do is stick a 20 lb frozen turkey in the refrigerator for a few days.
 
OTOH, I can do a turkey casserole for Thanksgiving and it'll be alright.

Hank is just gonna have to install a toaster oven in his man cave to go
along with his refrigerator and microwave. Whenever he has a craving for
frozen waffles he can scurry to his lair and enjoy!

I guess that depends on what kind of a dish it is that the spouse does
not like. I don't mind beets but I don't cook them because my wife hates
them with a passion. She likes liver but doesn't cook it because I am
not a fan. I would not bother to go to a lot of work to cook something
really elaborate that she doesn't like. Maybe it isn't much of an issue
for us because there aren't that many things that we won't eat....
beets, lima beans, Swiss chard, tripe.

Just buy a can of beets and have at it while she's at church.

Yeah, but we're talking about toaster waffles! What's the big deal?
It's not a highly specialized meal with expensive ingredients that could
stink up the house. Why would Hank's wife actually care if he
occasionally buys and eats frozen toaster waffles?
 
Making allowances for a spouse or partner's dislikes or even allergies
is one thing. Stopping eating something as simple as a toaster waffle
because the wife doesn't lso like them is just plain silly. How much
could it possibly bother her if he bought a box of frozen waffles?

My mom took me to see that movie. The only other movie she ever took me to see was "Thunderball." Seeing a movie with my mom was a rare occurrence. It probably meant something. Maybe she was mad at my dad - I can't say what it was.
 
The Blu-ray version on a modern HD screen is astounding and shows what was possible in the 60's when a director insisted on using state-of-the-art cameras and lenses along with a digital transfer done with loving care.

it is a little off putting.

Ms. Bush in a Japan song competition. I don't know how she did or what the audience reaction was to her unusual vocals. That thing on her chest had a wired microphone in it so she do her dance moves. The wire runs down her leg and attached to her foot. Hee hee.
