Bedtime coming up on us again. Just put out a batch of yogurt into the frig that’s been curdling all day in the Instapot. Other than that, about time to shut everything down. You all have a good evening now. More later or manana. Nite nite.
I saw this headline “China Threatens “Strong Measures” If Crazy Nancy Visits Taiwan” and a quick thought popped into my head:
“If they want to punish Taiwan, bring it to its knees, just keep Nancy there.”
Well, I finished my gardening for the night. I’ve trimmed and plucked, harvested a cantaloupe and a few other tiny things, and now I’m inside. It was nice out there for a while, listening to the birds chirping while I was drinking something cold and sitting on the back porch enjoying the breeze. But then I realized it’s just freaking… Read more »

The original “schmaltz” was goose fat. It was used to flavor and fry everything in Eastern Europe, and not just by Jews, because the general diet in the region was as bland and boring as anyone can imagine. Who here has ever seen a genuine Polish, Czech or Slavic restaurant ? Texas kolache bakeries and cafes don’t count. Hey, let’s… Read more »

After that, when I cooked ribeyes I would cut off the tenderest parts of both steaks and cut that up finely for her. She never knew.
But said she thought I was getting real good at picking out ribeyes.

80 wagonburner As a committed Sephardic Jew, I find Ashkenazi recipes to be almost exclusively nasty. I refuse to eat gefilte fish or any of those kreplach, kugels or similar dishes.

Deadliest Catch was a goodun tonight!
Yeah wanna give everyone a day with it before I set fire to it.
Burning the midnight oil, Squawkie?
Might as well join everybody taking the plunge into the new arrangement.
G’night all. See you tomorrow.
Night all.
Looks like we will take the new format for a spin tomorrow.
Thanks Squawk for your expertise.
Might hit 103º at Hooks Airport tomorrow. We will see.
Oooops, I guess I’m glad I stumbled on this tonight, assuming it will be like this when I stumble in tomorrow…

Red Land Cotton, an Alabama cotton-growing family was featured recently on the ABC Evening News “Made In America” series.
It’s the short video at the top, here.
I watched the first half just now.
He’s pretty good.
Did anyone watch the OC video? I haven’t seen a single comment on it.
“Political correctness is a cancer, and I want to see it die…..But first, I want to see it suffer.”
Fay would’ve liked tonight’s ham steak.
Overcooked to beat the band.

Heh.
There is no trickery unjustified in the name of compassion.
Get some really good crusty bread and dunk it into some schmaltz seasoned with a tiny bit of garlic, chives, and parsley.
