Quite so.

I can't say I miss steak at all -- even though I consider red meat to be
nutritionally important.

I'm doing fine without any meat.

Do you know whether those tails were from Maine lobster or from
Florida lobster? Maine lobster are large and have large claws...
Florida lobster (la gusta) are small and have no claws. In Florida
you should be able to get live la gusta. I think live lobster are
much better than frozen. Thing is when buying lobster tails they are
always frozen... live whole lobster are much better than frozen.
Anyway sounds like you had a greeat and enjoyable dinner, and you
didn't have to cook. Besides the vino what accompanied the lobster?

They were Maine tails. Whole lobster is pretty expensive here but
better than the local stuff.
 
Nothing too special. Mashed potatoes leftover from the previous night
and tomato slices with fresh basil and olive oil.

We get them in bags, still raw and in the shell.
 
Yes, I meant 'still in shell'. I guess we use 'unshelled peanuts' as a
term in some parts for the others. Just a quirk I grew up with along
the Smokey mountains.

Baby peanuts I think are called that?
 
Anyways, we make them 3-4 times a year. I deliberately make a bigger
batch than we will eat right away and unshell the cooked ones then
freeze the meats for other things in smaller bags or just defrost and
eat cold as a snack.

Far too much coffee. Switch to decaff and stay off the drugs.

"Taxed and Spent" didn't say anything of the sort. He wondered if John's
recall of the conversation would be the same as the manic account you
posted.
 
For all John's faults, I expect his account would be more grounded than
yours as you seem to be as high as a kite.

Ditto on the COPD. Don has it. Mask is no problem. As for asthma, it
actually helps filter the air.

That defeats the use of it.

Thats because you aren't wearing it right. Worn correctly, your
glasses do not fog up.
 
The mask is designed to be breathed *through*, not around by leaving
gaps around the nose. Thats why a soft cloth mask is better than a
disposable 'surgical' mask.

Le Sigh...
 
Folks, I too wear glasses. I did a very simple google search and found
out why. I was wearing it wrong. There was clear space around my nose
so instead of breathing *through* the mask, I was breathing around it.
 
Adjust the nose area. ZGet one with a nose insert that 'bends around'
the nose if you need to.

Brushing, flossing, the little flossers with the brush heads, and tooth-
brushing does NOT kill those volatile compounds found in onions and garlic.
Nor does gargling with mouthwash after all the previous methods have been
used after chowing down on garlic or onions.

Yaabuttt...... You posted at noon our time that they were done for the
day. Three hours later you posted that they stopped at 2 pm.... three
hours after they had already stopped.

Wow... your expensive roof just jumped a minimum $10,000, and then
there is the extra "underroof carpentry at $80/hr. How many hours?
Carpentry generally involves materials. Trusses and sheathing can add
up really fast.
 
Barnum was right.

I just came back from the dentist. My teeth are in awful shape. Most likely, it's caused by not drinking enough water. As a first sign of dehydration, your body stops producing saliva. This encourages the growth of acid producing bacteria. It is the acid that causes cavities.
 
He applied silver diamine fluoride to the cavity. There was some extra that he applied to another tooth. This compound will probably revolutionize dentistry. For a lot of cavities, the treatment of choice will be to apply silver diamine fluoride to the spots and activating it with water instead of drilling and filling.

Why not get a decent scale, they're cheap. Then you could determine
your own conversion for your specific ingredients.
 
In case it applies ... keep in mind that ounces of weight and
ounces volume are not the same, except for water.

Humm! So it is. Must be another I was thinking of. Either way,
emailing them won't help.

Those ribs would never sell in NY, in fact it would be illegal to sell
once frozen pork as fresh.

True, NY regulations require all groceries be AAA Popeye certified.
 
That's why yoose cannot buy bacon anywhere in the state.

We used to do a Shakespeare play every year in high school. I took a
first year English course at university and they did four of them over a
period of two weeks. The worst mistake I ever made was taking a course
on English Drama to 1642 <?> and they did four Shakespeare plays in one
week. Bad choice of courses for me because I have a hard time reading
plays at the best of time. Shakespeare is hard enough to read, but the
earlier works covered were even harder to read because the language was
quite different.
