I watched him in a number of TV shows and movies but I will always remember him as The Boy in the original Lost in Space episode, “The Magic Mirror”....

Unfortunately, they are successful at fooling themselves.

So how many cows do sharks kill per year?

that was my thought.. when I was a kid, ketchup+mayo=Russian dressing..

Also many moons ago I worked for a concessionaire in a National Park. After several months of winter isolation a few of us drove out to the nearest town for dinner. Restaurants still allowed smoking (and most of us smoked a the time) and this one had branded ash trays. One young lady in our group decided she wanted…

Even I know that once you let the smoke out of the box it doesn't work anymore...

Having put raisins in a lot of different dishes I can tell you a re-hydrated raisin tastes pretty much just like a juicy... raisin. Once it crosses the “raisin” threshold, there’s no going back.

LoL. Not at all. Not. At. All. As a matter of fact, I can recall stacking the little boxes as I sorted through my haul. I could also trade some of the candy that I didn’t care for for more raisins from my sister.

I grew up just south of Fresno in that hot, dry San Joaquin Valley you mention. I managed to escape by joining the Navy after high school and have seldom been back. The entire Valley is one, big socio-economic experiment gone horribly wrong.

I’ve just recently started cooking with leeks and this is a great idea... I’ll be putting grilled salmon on the menu in the next couple of weeks so I’ll give this a go..

“I love my pickled corn, but can you imagine grilled pickled corn? Can you wrap your mind around grilled marinated mushrooms? “

I probably would not get Mrs. Z to eat a side dish of grilled carrots but I bet I can sneak some chopped bits into a salad..

Drove past a diner on the Olympic Peninsula a few years back. They were advertising breakfast: “Clam and Eggs”. I... I confess I threw up a little in my mouth...

Exactly! I make a cookie-sheet pizza pretty much every Friday night. Add a little onion or garlic powder to the bread dough, make up a quick herbed tomato sauce, sliced pepperoni and shredded mozz and throw it in the oven, Good to Go!

Anomunous...

Yeah, John XXIII was “my” pope.. I was raised in the Holy Roman and Apostolic Church and actually participated in our church’s “folk masses”. It was a good time to be a young Catholic; the church at that time was seen as a “liberal” organization. That’s all gone now, of course. I left the church shortly after high…

this was my dad’s favorite; butter, garlic powder and grated parmesan. I’m a basic butter-and-salt guy but I remember him really liking this mix.

TBH, I never heard of Barstool (I thought the headline was about, you know... actual barstools, like, the furniture. But I don’t get out much) But thanks for the heads-up Drew. I may have heard of this Portnoy character because the name has its own history, but I will now actively avoid them going forward.

I spread mine out over the top rack of the dishwasher. Works pretty well.

Amidst all the other shenanigans going on I sense another, longer game. Georgia governor is term-limited. The main job of a Lt. Governor is to prime themselves for the big chair after the boss has to step away. I think they were just ensuring Duncan would be their guy in 8 years.
