JW> -=> Quoting Charles Blackburn to Dave Drum <=-
JW> Greetings from Yellowknife.
greetings back to yellowknife (had to look that one up even though it sounded familiar :D)
CB>> Re: Re: weather and climate
CB>>> not sure why this is in the cooking echo, but whatever
JW> I'm the guy who started that thread. It was sort of food related,
JW> in part with regard to gardening in the sub-arctic. In my lifetime
dang yea, bet it does get pretty cold up there.
JW> we have gone from a 75 day frost free summer growing season to 120
JW> here (140 this year, a record). I was also speculating on the future availability and cost of California produce if the
JW> Colorado River system dries up to the point that irrigation is severely rationed.
yea i know what you mean. not to mention with all the fires they've had so far it's been intense to say the least over there
on the left coast. i mean it got to the point where they were effectively rationing water (can't wash and do laundry at the same time for example).
according to this linke (
https://engaging-data.com/ca-reservoir-dashboard/ ), most of the resorvoirs are less than half full right now they have 28,896 kaf of capacity total and they're only at 37% of that STATE WIDE!
yet here in FL we're under water lol.
JW> I see you live and work in central east Florida. I used to visit an
JW> American uncle and aunt of mine who retired to Ormund Beach, whenever
JW> I could before they passed away.
yea technically im in ormond, but people generally only recognise "daytona" lol sorry to hear about your aunt/uncle
CB>> I LOVE to make a curry, of course sometimes I go for the Jar
CB>> stuff cus i feel lazy, but i do make it from scratch every now
CB>> and again.
JW> I am fond of curried dishes as well and in recent years have been
JW> getting familiar with Ethiopian and Somali dishes which have similar
JW> spicing.
you should try mongolian. now THAT's interesting for sure. and the weird thing is, it's pretty much just a stir-fry lol
CB>> grill fish in the pan... get a hot ridged pan
JW> Sounds interesting. I use a wire mesh basket for grilled fish.
yea i just coat it in regular flour and drop it in a hot pan with olive oil in it.. nothing special, doesnt take long.
CB>> "links" device
JW> I had to look that up. Fascinating.
yea it reminds me of those little elastic candy bracelets that we had as kids, only smaller. so far though it does seem to be helping, she quit her reflux meds yesterday and hasnt had any issues so far.
JW> Since it's fall, almost winter, here my October recipe theme is
JW> mostly about apples, late season root vegetables and squash, mostly
JW> in soups, stews and casseroles.
speaking of "casseroles" and me being too lazy, walmart have a "crockpot-pack" which has a hadful of veggies, a big slab of meat, and a seasoning packet. I love doing those cus dump all that into a crockpot, mix the packet with a couple cups of water and put it on low before i leave for work in the morning, done by the time i get home.
