It’s funny. I’d never heard the term ‘flyover country’ except when spoken in resentment by a conservative politician. The term that I’ve heard used by Democrats has always been “America’s Heartland”.

I know. I would have clued in if the reference was:

Yup. I open the can almost all the way, drain, and then bend the lid on the 1/2 inch bit that I left behind.

I think there is no question in any reasonable person’s mind as to whether the videos were ‘factual’. They have been unequivocally shown to be false.

Edward Snowden isn’t exactly living free in the U.S. He is on the lam, and a fugitive, I think. The material he released was also not edited to change context and meaning, but was released in its raw state, as far as I know.

Yes . . . well, no. I didn’t miss it, but I don’t think about it as a problem. My concern is that the chickens not choke on bones.

Ha Ha Ha HA! The “UK”, huh? Well, here in ‘merica, we handle things a little bit different.

Please, please do not post an article critical of the Democratic ticket! The prospect of such a video is almost too much to bear.

If I give them the bones intact, I’m afraid they might choke.

You know, I got similar responses from my wife and daughters, when I brought it up.

That’s great! Pressure canning is also good for making beans. Soak overnight, load beans into jars with some onion, garlic, peppers and some pork (A half of a pig’s foot works really well).

Yes, just like my hero: The Professor

I use a pressure cooker to make my chicken stock. It doesn’t take hours, an the stock comes out very gelatinous, if I am using bones that had not been pre-cooked. I buy 10 pound bags of leg quarters and cut the meat from the bones. The meat is bagged and frozen, and the leg bones are used for stock.
