Ummmm Bruce... I *am* an old man now. Why shouldn't I sound like one?

How are we poor mortals, who didn't grow up eating shortbread (unless
Lorna Doones count), to know if the recipe doesn't tell us?

Mmm. Chocolate-chip cookies warm out of the oven.

Seems to be more about adding some acidity, not so much the sour flavor.
 
I never add lemon juice to a finished dish but I do broil a fish fillet
with it (added beforehand). If you add the lemon juice before cooking,
it blends with the other flavors. If you add it after cooking, it's just
a sour taste sitting on top.
 
Fillet of fish: (works for many varieties)
 
- spread layer of mayo on the fillet*
- add a squeeze of lemon
- sprinkle with tiny chopped onion
 
Put under broiler just until onions start to brown.
 
* I'm not even sure the mayo is necessary. On salt water fish that melts
immediately on the fish. Don't picture gobs of mayo on the fish fillet.
It's just a thin clear glaze.

I squeeze lemon on seafood and for zip I use prepared horseradish.
I don't care for very hot pepper on anything, perhaps a wee bit of red
pepper flakes in pasta sauce... last night's dinner was rotelle with
saw-seege and tomato gravy, will be the same tonight. I went very
sparingly with the red pepper flakes, but the shaker is on the table
because my wife likes hot pepper flakes, but mostly she likes hot
pepper sauce... her favorite is Melindas.

I had JW Blue and it is very nice. Some years ago the new GM at work
invited some of us to his new house for dinner. I think he kept things
like that strictly to show off to guests. He was quite the braggart.

I did notice that on the news last night. Interestingly, I do remember
her saying sometime in the past year that she wouldn't take that job
again. Guess it was fake news.
 
Imo, it's high time we should stop letting other people's
great-grandparents run our countries and make our laws. They are all old
and set in their ways and with old values.

Old but good values never go out of style. Political hacks that put
party politics ahead of the good of the country do though. There is a
bunch in Congress that should have been gone already but they love the
power. The stupid electorate keeps putting them back in. We need
better educate voters too.

Could be Namath, Tarkenton, or Ditka. They are all in on it.

No such thing as free insurance. Just gimmicks from the "for profit"
insurance companies.

Hey that's us you're talking about! The Hawaiians lived in a paradise
without disease or health problems. There were lots of gods and war however.
That's the breaks.

It is a curious thing. Pornography is the only multi billion dollar
industry that has no customers. People looked down on "smut" for years
because it ran contrary to society's Christian beliefs. Most of us have
slipped away from the tight restraints of the church but porn is now
rejected because it exploits and objectifies women.

Go ahead and post your recipes , Shank . Just don't call it something
it ain't . Had you called your recent glop "crock pot pork butt with
barbecue sauce" I wouldn't have said a word . In fact , my wife used to
do butts that way until she discovered the difference between real
barbecue and that faux barbecue you made . Jeez , I bet you added some
of that dipshit from Hawaii's liquid smoke . For that "real" flavor
dontchaknow .

I might even mix up some with creosote sauce and eat that - just to rile up some folks!

But at least Pat Boone is ding TV commercials and even has an oldies
show on SiriusXM radio. Those other two are not even earning a living
these days.

Family bragging rights:
My brother was part of a small team of scientists that won a Nobel prize
about 10 years ago or so. I guess the team leader was awarded it but
they all traveled to where ever in Europe for the awards ceremony.
 
It was back when the "mad cow disease" was a big issue.

I suspect Graham was referring to adjective Sheila.
Aren't all women in Australia referred to as a Sheila?
At least that's what we westerners have been told.

Funny you mention that. I opened a box of very old photos and found my
8th grade class picture. The folder was signed by some of my
classmates, including Sheila. Only one I can recall. Had she not
signed the folder I'd not have recalled her either.

Looks and sounds nice. That would be my main meal of the day...lunch and
not breakfast.

Not bite sized. if it were that, it would have said that. Cut into about 4
oz. pieces or whatever amount of meat you would normally eat. The meat will
cook much quicker that way.
