Hi Dave,
RH> These were not good eating, on the bitter side.
DD> I wonder what caused that. I certainly differs from my experience.
We switched to growing habeneroes with the tomatoes after that. One fall
I didn`t clear off the pepper bushs, next spring they put out more.
DD> 8<----- JUMP SHIFT ----->8
RH> We had an air popper for a number of years, When our cocker spaniel
RH> heard it fire up, he knew he was in for a treat.
DD> My big problem is that it`s hard to get suficient butter on the
DD> popcorn and salt doesn`t stick to it as well as product from a
DD> "conventional" popper. I should have remembered that from when I
DD> was a boy and we did popcorn in a fire basket using the fire in
DD> the fireplace (or a campfire if it was summer).
RH> We used butter flavored or olive oil non stick spray instead of regular
RH> butter with the air popper. A spray or two, mix it in, another shot and
RH> add the seasonings--worked well for us.
DD> Hadn`t thought of that. How well did the salt stick to the popcorn?
DD> That could get expensive using the spritz on your popcorn if you ate
DD> much of it. Bv)= Of course with Steve`s corn allergy that could now
DD> be moot.
We had popcorn maybe once every couple of weeks so didn`t end up using a
lot of spray. The spray did help the seasonings stick, not quite like
butter but close enough.
DD> 8<----- EDIT ----->8
DD> I dunno what happened to my tube pan - I think I gave it to my sister
DD> as I never make angel food cake so I saw no need to clutter my
DD> cabints. Bv)=
RH> We got this one from my mom. Started as a borrow, ended up as a keep
RH> when her mind went & Dad kicked her out of the kitchen. None of my
RH> siblings objected to my taking it, and a few other kitchen goodies.
DD> A lot of my missing dishes went that way. Just never "came home" after
DD> visiting someone else`s kitchen.
I try to use disposable dishes when I take something somewhere and I`m
not concerned about getting the dish back. Alpaca (Peruvian chicken,
small chain in this area) puts their take out in a nice square box, with
cover that is really good for taking a meal to a shut in. Last spring I
made a small meat loaf, roasted potatoes and carrots with it and it all
fit nicely in the box, didn`t need to worry about getting it back.
RH> Went to the farmer`s market today. Came home with a bag of pork/red
RH> sauce tamales, a couple of Argentinian pastries, a couple of
cinnamon RH> roll, a bag of lettuce, a couple of sweet potatoes, a loaf
of banana RH> bread, a couple of sausage rolls, a sopapilla cheesecake
bar and a bag RH> of broccoli. Going to have some good eating this
week.
DD> Almost like an open-air deli. I usually just get raw materials when I
DD> shop the farm stands/farmer`s markets. Any pre-made grub is consumed
DD> on the spot.
RH> I`ve seen a good number of people eat their purchases as they wander
RH> the market. Me, I`m shopping for the next week ahead, anything from
RH> Sunday morning breakfast (cinnamon rolls) to a veggie to go with supper
RH> (broccoli) to a late night snack for Steve (banana bread) and more from
RH> this week`s haul. Used to be a lot more produce vendors, now an
RH> increased number of crafters are selling at the market.
DD> Our farmer`s market is nearly all edibles. Once a month they have do a
DD> "Crafts Fair" along with the agricultural products.
We have a craft fair in the spring and another one in the fall along
with the market. We`ve also a knife sharpener who comes once a month,
does it on the spot during spring thru fall but winter hours are shorter
so he`ll take them home and send them back the next week.
DD> I`m off to my local Hy-Vee for a free Veteran`s Day breakfast. I`ll
DD> skip the Golden Corral`s free dinner buffet - the lines are over a
DD> city block long. And I stood in enough chow lines in the service.
RH> Steve went to a flag raising and breakfast at one of the local
RH> residential care facilities this morning. Then we went to the Veteran`s
RH> Day ceremony at the WF veteran`s memorial where he gave the invocation
RH> and benediction as chaplain for the Legion post. Went to lunch at the
RH> Carolina Ale House, special for vets was a half rack of ribs; I got it
RH> also. Supper was at Red Robin with the Monday night Warrior Bible Study
RH> group; the vet`s special there was a burger (with trimmings) and fries.
RH> Steve subbed out the regular fries for sweet potato fries. I had a
RH> crispy chicken salad and an Oreo/peppermint milk shake. Both times I
RH> brough leftovers home.
DD> AFAIK my local Red Robin didn`t offer any Vet`s specials. But, I
DD> learned that Wendy`s offered a free breakfast combo to veterans. The
DD> one I miss is Denny`s - which used to do a free meal (breakfast or
DD> lunch) for veterans on Veteran`s Day. We used to have two Denny`s
DD> here. The west side one went over to being a Beef O`Brady`s then to
DD> bring "For Lease". The east side store (convenient to me) was knocked
DD> down and a drive-thru car wash took its place. FEH!
I`m not sure what it is but there`s a web site that Steve checks every
year for the Veteran`s day specials. We don`t have a Golden Corral in
town any more; it`s now several ghost kitchens (call or text or web site
order, food is prepared and then you pick it up). Nearest Denny`s is
Raleigh so we stick with what`s offered locally.
DD> I miss the Super Bird and the Moon`s Ove My Hammy offerings.
Both of those are more than one meal for me. (G)
