Ohyes...now I remember...it’s a Riccar!
LOL!
Here, it’s the opposite: Beet is what you call beetroot, and sugar beet is just that...a sugar beet. Odd.
No wonder it’s so hard to understand English! LOL!
Hi ‘Face.
You’re in fine spirits this day, by the looks of things.
The Sun must be out! :)
Imagine the chaos if FR was in audio! Eek!
ALOL!
Yes, we are have a wonderful day here. No clouds in the sky, still “only” 89 degrees (32 C) and a nice little breeze! Perfect for a picnic or something! LOL!
Maybe I’ll take my little pasta salad to the ramada and eat it in the shade while I watch e-pople. (I tried to spell it without the dash, but the auto-co-wrecker changed it.)
The Stig is molting again. This time of year, it’s such a long molt that I really miss him. He sleeps and huddles a lot, and I miss his singing. Maybe I should take him out onto the patio when the sun gets on the south side of the building so he can enjoy the breeze.
And maybe I’ll see about getting another parakeet (budgie) for a companion for him. He may need the company...I will think about that....
Just for the record, I thought all the ships were beautiful. (Maybe the stripey one not so much.) Must engage self discipline today and figure out what to do with a plethora of green beans. As reward for job well done, get to explore those websites (The First Line and something else?). Have a great day, y'all!
Stig would like an Avian companion, he just e-mailed to say so.
Goodnight. G.B.
Nite, then! I’ll check into a companion for him tomorrow!
green beans
Most of us have them from cans, go good with ham or as a side to chicken fried steak...
I’m making the “easy recipe” finding the ingredients was a chore. Took trips to five different stores to round them up.
I’ll know if it was worth it in a couple days.
I like green beans with bacon and a little bit of onion served as a side dish.
They say calories are calories, but corn syrup does seem to be more fattening than cane sugar.
We do.
Although some of us insist that if you order the cheese-steak without bell pepper, it isn't really a cheese-steak...
Odd. The ingredients are readily available here. Perhaps you should buy several boxes/bars when you are here. You know it won’t spoil!
I think I have two quart jars, so all I have to do is buy the Borax and the washing soda, one or the other of which I normally have on hand.
I have had a couple of bars of Fels-Naptha for ages. I try never to be without that, too, as it is so awesome for taking stains out of anything.
Please, let me know how it turns out. I hope mixing it doesn’t ruin my Dutch oven...oh...wait...I have a large plastic bowl I can use! And I mean LARGE!!!
Any pix of the rear main gun?
My dad was manning an AA gun at the base of the #3 turret on the Maryland when a Kamikaze hit the top of it off Okinawa.
It was his introduction to the Japanese.
He made buck private that night...
calories might be calories but corn syrup seems to stick to your gut much more tenaciously than pure cane sugar.
Corn syrup is too easy to add to everything. And any food that contains anything ending in “-ose” needs to be avoided. I try to cook as naturally as I can...peel and cook potatoes, frozen or fresh vegetables, and all dairy products, none of them “processed food.”
It’s just the way I was brought up...my sister and I used to take a salt shaker into the garden, slip under the tarp my dad had over the tomatoes to keep them from being sunburned, and lean up against a tomato stake and eat the warm fruit!
We would lick a spot on the skin, salt it, then bite the spot, more salt, more bite...ahhhyessss...those were the days....
See? We used to have some Philly Cheese Steak stands around, but I haven’t seen one for years.
The skin - of the tomato.... right... sorry, I lost concentration there for a second....
seriously though, that sounds awesome
Someone or something...
That is just so wrong. The bottom wafer should be vanilla.
