“Eggnog Ice Cream”  should be available by  law all year round, including July.

A hundred years ago I used to by my suits in lofts in the garment district. After selecting a suit and getting the alterations, the guy asked me where I’d like to buy it and he pointed at a stack of finer men’s department store tags ready to be seen into my cheap-o suit. I used to like to leave my fake Brooks…

At least learn about other methods of heating, like kerosene stoves, only heating part of the house at a time, etc.

Squash- Pierce it a cuppla times and microwave it until a knife goes in easily 8-10 min. When it cools, cut it open and scoop out the meat. It looks like a lot, but if you mash it (with a fork or masher), it goes down to about 1/3 of what you see. Put the mashed squash in plastic bags and freeze them for whenever. A…

Lovely pictures. I didn’t know you could drive for 7 hours in Panama and still be in Panama.

You may be killing germs, but you still have “clean” dirt to contend with.  I don’t know what was in the soil where that potato grew.

I splash them around in a bowl of water that has a glug of lemon juice in it. It takes off the manure and I have persuaded myself that lemon juice kills germs. Rinse and use.

When those little wheels hit an obstacle, like a couple of acorns or a twig, you an be in big trouble going that fast. Even a regular bicycle wheel can get jolted to the side by irregularities in pavement.

Well, there’s no sense making a silly mistake unless everybody’s watching. You have 24 hours to go before it became anything like a problem, and defrosting happens slowly at first, and then more rapidly. The internal temp may have gone up 15 or 20 degrees during the first 48 hours, but it would feel the same to you.…

It looks a lot like ping pong - played with raquets on a court laid out like ping pong.  The court is about half the size of a tennis court MOL.

It’s a good thing Barack is sensational, because otherwise he wouldn’t deserve to be loved as extravagantly as Michelle loves him.  That’s a wonderful picture of the two of them.  She clearly thinks he’s hot stuff, and her squeeze allows him to face the world.  Not bad.

Thanks for clarifying that.

Some of the ground work for this was already in existence.

So they’ll be able to spread to someone who will die from it. There are thousands of people dying form Covid every single day.

To make them, first bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. (Then, in a separate bowl,) For every two cups of cold mashed potatoes, add one egg and one cup of all-purpose flour and mix gently to combine.

Because they’re in a car and you are trapped by that window, they think they ar win charge of the world.  It ain’t like that.  A little civility can go a long way in the interaction and judging by his subsequent behavior, the customer was just a dick.

I purchased several pans a long time ago, and finally got tired of the attention (both in cooking and cleaning) they required. I used to smear them with mayonnaise and let them stand around for 5 minutes and then wash it off. Worked very well. The real issue was that I was a careless cook, and if you don’t watch a…

No, they are great! A square egg on a square bun with square cheese and square sausage.  Gets about halfway down before you have to swallow some coffee to keep in moving.

Being able to control the number of people with whom you have interaction is a real luxury. It’s during a spell like this that you may realize how annoying and thoughtless people can be.  You may run into a jerk at a Zoom meeting, but he won’t be stopping by your desk 3 or 4 times with nothing to say.
