Idiot! People know that rock tribes don't use salt on the roads.
 
That's what dick suckers in frozen new york do.

In the bag OR out, salty water is still the best defrosting method.
 
And soaking the turkey before cooking (NOT salty water) will cut
the salt in it by a lot. Same for corned beef.

The constant attacks by our leftists in congress are playing right into
China's hands. They are so power hungry, they can't see what damage
they are doing to the country, not to Trump.

No lettuce on sandwiches other than a BLT, and then iceberg. I like all lettuces in green salads. BLT sandwich season starts soon, as I have my first non-cherry tomatoes starting to ripen. I got them wet and sprinkled cayenne on them to deter the squirrels.
 
I've had quite a few of a particular sandwich the past week, mortadella on Italian bread with Dijon mustard. https://www.volpifoods.com/products/classics/mortadella-with-pistachio/ St. Louis doesn't have a lot going for it food-wise, but there's an Italian neighborhood called The Hill (I grew up with a racist father who called it "Dago Hill") that has, arguably, the best Italian salumeria in the Western Hemisphere (Volpi), and Italian bread that you can only buy on The Hill. There's a little grocery store there where I buy grated Asiago that's only $7.99/#, that also has semolina flour, and sells the big cans of Stanislaus tomato sauces.

Yep, and it must have cleared, or all their stuff would have

Soon it will be known as the Taj Kuth mansion.

Funny, but if I spent a couple thousand bucks on repairs and a year
later I had to spend another $113K I would not be thrilled to have to
hire the same people who had done an expensive non repair.

You didn't evocate me. I got on Googlgroups to find a post on a different ng, and just clicked here to see if rfc too had been taken over by spammers. I'd like to say I was disappointed to find out that Kuthe wasn't dead, but I'd have heard about it elsewhere if he'd died. I saw the silicone stuff, and coincidentally, I had just used my silicone BBQ brush.

Too damned much chicken the past few weeks. Beef has gotten pricier, and pork chops hadn't gone on sale. I bought a pork loin today that I should have had sliced, so the pork chops this afternoon were thick cut, which is better anyway.

I use cast iron often for the same reason. It can take high heat, well
seasoned so things don't stick. give a nice crust the to potatoes around
the meat.

No matter how well made a meatloaf is... I just don't like that taste.
Yuck. I think it's the high unbrowned to browned ratio of ground meat
with the seasonings.

Maybe, this one?
<https://postimg.cc/rDySZwX8>
I have the 1941 printing of "Birds of America". Every page could be put
in a frame, but that would ruin the book. Wanna see a great auk or a
passenger pigeon? Maybe an ivory billed woodpecker? They go well with the
Carolina paraquet. Every print in the book is exquisite.
I grew up with "Birds of America" while being babysat in a neighbor's
house and acquired a decent knowledge of American bird taxonomy from it. I
searched Ebay, or somewhere online, for the book I remembered, about ten
years ago, and got a pretty decent rendition for about thirty bucks. I feel
lucky.

Hmm...the last movie I just recently saw him in was "Calamity Jane",
because I have a "thing" for Doris Day. Thanks, TCM!

It's getting warmer just about everywhere, I guess. Well, not sure
about the tropic regions doing the same though.

I'm sure you are :) Sadly, my wife and I are separated from our son

I cannot digest lactose so I do know. I can also build up an immunity by eating yogurt. My guess is that by eating yogurt and then drinking milk products on a daily basis, I can keep and sustain a colony of Lactobacillus bacteria in my gut but that would mean drinking more dairy - something I'm not interested in doing. OTOH, if I see some halo-halo around, I'm gonna jump on that. Of course, I'll pay dearly for it - but no can help.
