This makes ninety-six! Happy easter!
Here’s something else I do wrong.....
....I never taste what I’m cooking.
To me, the eating of food should be done when life is good, when one is seated with the repast before them.
My Weight Watcher’s counselor told me these were the thoughts of a food addict but moving on...
....the concept of putting food in my mouth during busy meal prep...well I just don’t do it.
Thus I cannot tell you what the potatoes taste like cause I could not bear to taste them.
Some might call it OCD but I am better diagnosed as CDO...
...which is OCD in alphabetical order.
May go beyond. People care ... here at FR!
and the “questioning” of a child’s sexual “preference” will begin in kindergarten - when boys, by nature, are supposed to be friends with other boys and girls play with girls.
Just as the developmental stages for crawling, walking, speaking, etc, all have parameters, so does same sex bonding come before sexual attraction of the opposite sex.
This fact of nature has been terribly attacked and compromised by our current culture, which claims to protect children from so many perceived threats, while leaving them totally exposed to compromising their entire emotional future.
Larri!, Larri!
Didja see that? Huh Larri?
Schmuck-You Schumer? No thanks!
We do have a way to beat them and it is sitting right in front of us. We have to beat them at the ballot box and that means getting out our voters. Nothing else matters.
Thanks ... family loves potatoes.
You’ve convinced me!
We’ve plenty of Walmarts round here.
And Delaware has no sales tax!
Took my daughter/granddaughter to a Walmart in Merryland last Tuesday when I went up for Easter visit.
Though she calls me this morning from Ocean City...says they drove down to see MIKE’s Mom....like that’s not supposed to make me mad?
“I LOVED you coming up to visit me, Mom. This was a last-minute decision...”
Uh-huh. It’s ALWAYS a last minute decision.
Hated paying O’Malley’s 6% sales tax....man that hurt.
By the way, the old cast iron skillet CANNOT be beat for making toast...and Texas toast. Take any kind of bread including cornbread, butter it and put it in a dry..hot cast iron skillet. Put a small dab of butter on the bread before you flip it.
For Texas toast, get some unsliced Italian bread and slice it thick...same as above.
As for the garlic, I usually do what Bray suggested, the small bottle of minced garlic....good enough.
If you want to deal with the garlic bud, use your hands to separate and get the husk off the cloves. Then take your big chef’s knife, lay it on its side and push down on the clove, it will split the “shell” like cracking a peanut, and you can retrieve the garlic from inside.
But that’s for purists, I think it’s a PITA.
Okay, I see the thread is at 100 posts already, so I can't claim this as my contribution on the way to 100 posts. But I do have a couple of remarks on this Easter Sunday.
First, a garlic remark as against the Food Network stars. If they are using real garlic, you will see them put a clove under a wide knife, then "hammer" the knife with a closed fist. I know that's not literally a hammer, but darn if it doesn't make the skin easy to separate from the meat!
As for the meaning of Easter, I am reminded of my dear departed father's remarks that Jesus Christ is the only religious figure who claimed he was God. I don't know if dad picked that up from CS Lewis, or exactly how he came to that particular notice, but he did make a point of expressing just how radical that was and is. My point in bringing it up is to assert that Christianity is special, it is different, and I daresay it is better - it is the divine truth, at least it is to those who have faith.
Happy blessed Easter to my fellow Christians! Just plain old Happy Sunday to the rest of you.
Heh.
From where I sit, my dog already made the choice, and it's a done deal. I'm a bigamist, and not by my own doing.
I think I’m going to have to get one of these wide-knife thing.
Which is why I used the hammer.
It worked but rather messy.
Happy Easter to you as well.
We do have a way to beat them and it is sitting right in front of us. We have to beat them at the ballot box and that means getting out our voters. Nothing else matters.
The New Catholic Faith can be summed up as:
Be nice, especially to the poor, then do as you will.
OK, pick one of those up too while you’re at Walmart.
Teflon heaven, where it joins the ozone depleting substances.
But seriously, teflon is inert (biologically speaking).
I'm going to have to look for a good ceramic coated skillet, now. We have some Cuisinart cookware, and I really like it because it stays flat, and flat against the glass range top makes a HUGE difference in the quality of the cooking. I'm good at non-sticking the stainless steel; but it would be nice to not have to be so careful.
Hated paying O’Malley’s 6% sales tax....man that hurt.
