| Sqwertz <sqwertzme@gmail.invalid>: Jul 08 10:31AM -0500 I told him that the RFC group (what?).... the usenet group.... you know, the rec.food.cooking group? (Oh, Yeah) was worried about him since he usually posts dozens of times a day. I said they were making up all sorts of crazy stories about what happened to you. He's cooking garlic potatoes for breakfast and I could hear him chopping in the background. I told him that's not his "Standard breakfast, I thought it Asiago cheese bagel from Panera?". He says Google won't allow him to post. After a few more questions I said it sounded like his browser lost his login cookies and he just needed to manually log in on the upper right again. He said it always did it for him automatically. I also found out that he has a degree in computer engineering school and has been on the internet since ARPANET days. He has a really old Windows XP laptop and a Mac-in-trash, and something about "Steve Gates", but never once did he ask me who I was. I asked him, "You're not at all curious who this is calling you?" (twice) - He brushed that off and I re-iterated my technical support advice to just log in manually, that I'd let everybody know he's still alive, and we all wished him well. "OK, Bye!" EOS. I shit you not. I think we should all give him a call! You won't regret it! |

But seeing as how it was, I would never post it to satisfy your nor anybody else's assholyness. I even dumbed it down a little in text. It was very cordial. I did not ask him about his taxes nor his roof. -sw |

It sometimes helps to sit on your suspicions for a few minutes or hours before you make an ass of yourself. Go ahead, ask him.... Was it not a cordial call, John? -sw |

So what are YOU having for breakfast other than eggs? I'm having those pressed oval hash browns. -sw |

There's more bulk mailing nowadays than ordinary 1st class mail... all catalogues are bulk mailed, as are utility bills. Hardly anyone sends letters anymore, today it's all email. Hardly anyone can write a letter anymore other than on a keyboard... very few schools still teach longhand/cursive... most youngsters today can't sign their name.

First it draws moisture out of the steak. Then, because the steak is now drier than the moisture surrounding it, moisture goes back in to the steak bringing salt with it. Eventually it achieves osmotic balance. The trick is to not use too much salt. If I sprinkle a little salt on a steak, wrap it up, and leave it for an hour or more, when I come back there is no excessive moisture on the outside of the steak, the meat is salted throughout, and it cooks up nice and juicy because the salt on the inside tends to hold on to the water on the inside. Much better than simply salting the exterior at the last minute. Not that I think you'll believe me or this guy either: <https://www.seriouseats.com/2011/03/the-food-lab-more-tips-for-perfect-steaks.html> Cindy Hamilton |

He doesn't sear meat to keep in moisture: [W]e all know that searing absolutely positively does not "seal in juice," right? It serves as a means of adding color and flavor and enhancing texture. > Not that I eat enough steak to try it for myself. Steak is what we eat when we can't think of anything else, but don't want breakfast for dinner. Perhaps a couple of times a month. Cindy Hamilton |

Depends whether you prefer the dry or juicy end. ;) You may enjoy a forked cuke, striated. Kirby/Pickling cukes aren't peeled so you'll enjoy those natural bumps.

Not me, because although I love cucumber, I do not like the peel. Janet US |

My glasses would fog up from the mask too but since my cataract surgery no more glasses. I didn't know I had cataracts until I went to a different eyeglass place and was examined by an Opthamologist. Opticians mainy sell glasses, they don't examine eyes. |

At least one of us does something ;) My wife does some quilting too but she much prefers knitting. The N95 masks are fitted with a one way vent so the air you inhale is filtered by the mask, when exhaling that moist air passes through the vent, very little fogging of glasses. I started wearing the N95 mask for mowing grass, filters out dust/pollen... Amazon had them for cheap, a box of 12 cost like $8... I still have a bunch, they are much more comfortable than the run of the mill paper masks sold everywhere. I still wear an N95 for mowing. My big tractor has a cab and it has a cabin filter, but really doesn't filter out all the fine particulates so I still wear an N95. A paper mask is not for protecting the wearer from the virus, it helps protect those nearby if the wearer coughs/sneezes. For best virus protection wear a military style gas mask. Amazon sells them but they cost. https://www.amazon.com/Israeli-Mask-Straw-Specifications-Filter/dp/B089JMCTCS/ref=sr_1_2?crid=QVXNPO0LWOQK&dchild=1&keywords=gas+mask+military&qid=1594224026&sprefix=gas+mask%2Cspecialty-aps-sns%2C204&sr=8-2 |

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is the big chain around here tanking. They started this pre-Covid, though. I've bought 2 cups of coffee in the last 10 years. I really gotta kick this $1/year coffee habit. -sw |

Oh wait, I'm not a Southerner, > either... I think you've earned "Southerner status" by now. It took many years before southern born coworkers stopped calling me a yankee. lol Did you know that Maryland was originally a southern slave owning state? Lincoln put a stop to that before the Civil War started. He didn't want Washington DC to be surrounded by southern states in case of the impending war. Marylanders pretty much equally joined the Union or the Confederates for the war. |
