Hi Dave,
DD> (Typhoon) which translates as "supreme wind". Bv)=
RH> I know; I picked that up from the James Clavell books. (G)
DD> One of the many reasons that I'd rather read a good book than zone out
DD> in front of the one-eyed monster.
RH> Usually what I do also, especially at night. Daylight hours may be
RH> spent at the sewing machine.
DD> I'm more likely to be staring at my own "glass teat" - the confuser as
DD> I bang in recipes or chase down topics of interest. Bv)=
I'll do my mail run in the morning, then work on Fido, Raleigh
newspaper, etc off and on thruout the day.
DD> I take the e-edition of the daily. And they mail out a collection of
DD> grocery adverts, coupon flyers, etc. I get the grocery ad delivered to
DD> my in-box for all of the stores in town. The only flyer I get any use
DD> from is the Dollar Gererous. They often have really good deals on
DD> stuff I can (and do) use.
Wish we got a packet of coupons, etc. They used to distribute one but
Covid put an end to that.
RH> We've been getting greeting cards from them the past few years.
DD> From the dollar store? Never had anything from them in the mail.
DD> Except the advertising flyers that are a part of the newspaper's
DD> mailing. But, certainly, nothing "personalized".
No, we're buying the cards. (G)
DD> Or use a pot that's wide/deep enough to submerge the sticks in one go.
DD> I still do the "pan length" as it's easier to wind it onto my fork at
DD> table. But, That's me.
RH> At least you don't cut it into 1" or less pieces. (G)
DD> Only pasta I do in that size range is elbow macaroni, rosemarina, cous
DD> cous, etc.
RH> My MIL treated us (3 kids, 3 spouses) to dinner last night at an
RH> Italian place, only one person didn't leave with a "leftovers" box. I
RH> had veal and eggplant parm with a side of penne pasta & marinara sauce.
RH> The size of the piece of veal was almost the whole dinner plate, with 2
RH> roughly 6" rounds of eggplant on top of it. Penne pasta was good, maybe
RH> about a cup and a half (cooked) with a good amount of marinara. Starter
RH> was a salad so I only ate about 1/3 of my entree. Steve had Italian
RH> jambalya over liguini and a salad; I think he took about half of his
RH> entree home.
DD> Sound like they are philosophically on board with my recently closed
DD> Sweet Basil cafe. I always told people "If you're going there - go
DD> HUNGRY". One of the few places I ever had to get a "go box" to bring
DD> home my leftovers. Even if I showed up ravenous.
I get a "to go" most every time I eat out now, and usually plan on
eating only half (or less) of my entree, especially if I start with a
salad.
DD> I was hesitant to serve a dish using cous cous to my brother since
DD> he's had this "thing" abou rice ever since his tour in Vietnam. But,
DD> he knows the difference and enjoyed it. I keep hoping he'll mellow out
DD> of it like Steve did with pork. But that hope is dwindling. Bv)=
RH> Don't hold your breath waiting. (G)
DD> I present this recipe as written - but with the question "How can a
DD> bird be both free range AND corn fed"?
RH> Free range during the warm parts of the year, corn fed in the colder
RH> parts. (G) More likely was supposed to be "free range OR corn fed".
DD> My personal opinion is that free range means just that. They'd have
DD> been better off using "cage free". When I kept chickens the girls were
DD> cage
DD> free and had a trough for "chicken feed" as well as scratching in the
DD> pen for bugs and seeds, etc. And the fence was more to keep the
DD> predators out than to keep the chooks in.
We never kept any, just raised cats & dogs. (G)
