Food Thread: Memorial Day Edition

There's not much going on in the kitchens at Chez Dildo, so some links and complaints and general whining is going to be the dish of the day.

******
So....don't judge me, but I bought cookies. In a store. In fact, I bought two bags, because they were "two bags for the price of one," and I am nothing if not frugal. And stupid. Because they were...okay. I could have made a much better cookie for about the same cost and 20 minutes more time.

Admit it, you buy cookies sometimes. Maybe not often, but it happens.

Ignoring Oreos, because those are a fine cookie and nothing to be mocked for...what's your go-to store-bought cookie?

Chipotle Data Breach Affected Most Restaurants: Hackers Stole Customers' Credit Card Information
At some point they are going to have to admit that God just doesn't want them to continue to culturally appropriate.
******
My first thought when I saw this link, Kids In The Kitchen: The Value of Cooking, on the Quaker Oats site (good oatmeal cookie recipe!) was that it was going to be some drivel about food and cooking education in the schools. But it is a straightforward list of why you should teach your kids to cook in your own home. It's not politicized at all! Well, I could be picky and find a little leftist crap, but I will be magnanimous and let them be.

Yeah, I know, it isn't really Food and Cooking, but just wait....
Frequent recreational cannabis use linked to increased risk of gum disease

"It is well known that frequent tobacco use can increase the risk of periodontal disease, but it was surprising to see that recreational cannabis users may also be at risk," said Dr. Shariff. "The recent spate of new recreational and medical marijuana laws could spell the beginning of a growing oral public health problem."

This is a great example of the pot evangelists' conceit that marijuana is benign. Smoking pot is in many respects identical to smoking tobacco. Why is this researcher surprised that there are similar effects?

And clearly he never smoked pot, because he is ignorant of the munchies and going to bed so stoned that you don't brush your teeth.

'F' as in 'food': Chef Gordon Ramsay's tips for dining out

Avoid the specials, be suspicious of outlandish boasts and prepare to haggle for your wine: three golden rules for a heightened dining experience, as newly revealed by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

I agree with the first two, and while I have never tried the third, it makes perfect sense.

And while we are on the subject of specials....tell me the damned price. I don't want to have to ask how much that soft-shell-crab special is, or find out when I pay the bill that it was double the average main course. Restaurants should keep their specials in line with their other dishes, but in addition they should always....ALWAYS...give the price.

And here's some additional advice: Sunday brunch is a fine way of getting rid of all of those iffy ingredients in the walk-in. So don't order the chef's special; just get the eggs.

This is a pretty standard recipe, but the bread crumbs add an interesting texture. And I like mussels, so I am predisposed to enjoying dishes like this. Just use fettuccine; there is no need to look for extra wide shapes if they aren't readily available.
Wide Noodles with Mussels

1 lb. wide pasta
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 bunch Italian parsley, finely chopped to yield 2 tablespoons
Salt and pepper

Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt.

In a large skillet with a lid, heat the olive oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, shallots and garlic and saute over high heat 4 minutes, until softened and browned.

Add the wine and lemon juice, bring to a boil, then add the mussels, and cover. Cook for 5 minutes, until all the mussels have steamed open. Discard any that haven’t steamed open after this time.

Cook the pasta in the boiling water until tender yet al dente.

Meanwhile, push the mussels to the side slightly and add the bread crumbs and parsley to the liquid, stirring to combine.

Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the pan with the mussels, tossing over medium-high 1 minute.

Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Tate's Chocolate Chip cookies. Pricey at $3.99 for about 10 cookies, but they are thin and crisp and really flavorful. Might be a regional thing because the bakery is in the Hamptons, but I can get them in NJ.

Another thing never to order out: Shepherd's Pie. It's always, always full of leftovers. Same is probably true of any pot pies or stews.

On the other hand, Chicken Pot Pie is one of the most famous and most popular dishes at 21 Club, and it is delicious.

23 I tried making French onion soup for the first time. Mrs. JTB and I both like it at restaurants. I used the Pioneer Woman recipe from her website.

It works. I used an enameled cast iron pot. The recipe calls for starting the onions on the stove top then a good hour in a 400 degree oven, pot lid slightly askew. The soup is rather buttery and not at all acidic like some restaurant versions I've had. Plenty of flavor. Slices of crusty bread and thin shaved gruyere. OMG it's good.

This is going to be a regular feature at Chez JTB in the future.

25 Prepped for my cookout for my two closest friends tomorrow. Burgers on the grill, red-skin potato salad, saut�ed mushrooms, onion and garlic for the burgers, and doctored-up baked beans. Iced tea (unsweetened) with fresh mint, gin and tonics, beer. Friends are bringing appetizers and dessert. Yum!!!

The best store-bought cookies I've ever had are lemon drops (gluten free) from Target and macaroons (seasonal) from Aldi.

26 Favorite store cookie: devils food with a cup of coffee. No wait, biscotti and a cup of tea. No wait, the Keebler copy of the Girl Scout Caramel Delights and a glass of milk. No wait, Keebler Toffee Sandies and coffee again.

It is sometimes hard to make a decision in a free-market economy. But I buck up and do my suffering best.

27 Trader Joe's has a fancy chocolate chip cookie that is thin and buttery and comes in a box that is very finishable in one sitting.

Another excellent chocolate chip cookie from the olden days was President's Choice brand-the first time I had them I was at school in Quebec and the Torontonians I knew would bring them back after vacations, they were only available in Ontario and were fantastic (no idea why the Presidents Choice brand was Canadian....I digress)-I think they were made with coconut oil.....whatever was the magic ingredient, they were awesome-I still remember them 20+ years. I favor thinner, buttery or crispy cookies over the cakey kind.

At the local lunch counter, I would occasionally treat myself to a four-pack of Nutter Butter cookies. They've stopped making the four-packs, and may have stopped making the peanut-shaped cookies altogether.

The only store-bought cookies I'll occasionally buy are the slice and bake tubes. Not much difference between name brand and generic. They're both completely acceptable.

Freshly baked cookies beats anything else. Also, the opportunity to 'sneak' additional chocolate chips into the dough has never met with disapproval from the resident 'cookie monster'.

Gainzzz become lozzz's however.

53 Teaching your kids to cook is a great idea. When my mom went back to work when I was in middle school, she'd put ingredients out along with a recipe, the implements and tell my brother and me to have dinner ready when she and my dad got home. Yeah, there were mistakes, but they ate without complaint--only suggestions, here or there. Eventually, we just took turns planning menus and cooking for the family. I'm glad I learned how at a youngish age.

66 Some consider it a gievous sin to pair cheese with shellfish, but my favorite mussel dish is similar to CBD's, except I skip the onion and sprinkle finely-grated fresh Parm on top before serving.

If I know the chefs at a restaurant personally and trust them, I always go for the specials. Usually it's just trying something new out and seeing how the regulars respond to it. Or there was a good deal at the wholesaler on something different.

92 Teaching your kids to cook is a great idea. When my mom went back to work when I was in middle school, she'd put ingredients out along with a recipe, the implements and tell my brother and me to have dinner ready when she and my dad got home. Yeah, there were mistakes, but they ate without complaint--only suggestions, here or there. Eventually, we just took turns planning menus and cooking for the family. I'm glad I learned how at a youngish age.

-----------------
That's how I learned to cook. My mom and dad both worked, and in the summer gave me the family food budget $$ to do the weekly grocery shopping, meal planning, and cooking. I read as many classic cookbooks as I could, the basic elements for sauces, baking, techniques, etc. as I could. The Time-Life series of the world's cuisines were the most instrumental learning experiences to me.

My parents always praised my dishes, probably because they were relieved of preparing meals after coming home from work. My parents were Depression era children so anything hot and belly filling was sure to be appreciated.

Tis true, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and an army does indeed travel on its belly.

95 when I was much younger I liked archway's lemon frosted cookies. whenever I went to visit the grandparents grandma made sure to have the cookie jar stuffed with them. bought some a while ago and they have changed the recipe to dial up the suck quotient. seems like they are pumping more air into them. not the nice dense cookie they were.

George Carlin had a genius bit about such things -- it's featured in "On the Road":

"Ever go to a grocery store in a college town? [...] Any place where, from time to time, people get...a little fucked up? Take a look at the cookie aisle. It's like a war zone. All the packages have been opened! And all the *good* cookies are gone!...'Where the hell are the Mallomars?' 'Oh, we can't get those into the store; they line up at the truck for the Mallomars!' "

117 I grew up baking with my mom, not really cooking - except pizza (those Chef Boyardee kits + fresh mozzarella). We would mke all sorts of cookies, breads, cakes, pies - so much fun!

130 My preferred topping for hotdogs, Hebrew National by preference, is yellow mustard and lots of sauerkraut. If the kraut isn't available I use relish. Ketchup is pretty much relegated to fries these days. Quite a change from childhood when ketchup, including ketchup sandwiches, was the norm.

Also dig nutterbutters, chocolate graham crackers and those convenience store Peggy Lawton 3 to a package chocolate ship cookies. In law school they were the subject of a famous trade secret lawsuit that was in one of my courses (Intellectual Property) ...something having to do with "nut dust" and no, I'm not kidding, I think it may have been walnut dust that was the secret ingredient.

Posted by: stace gets two scoops

I've bought a handful of things from the "seen on TV" ads - though I never buy them from the TV or the company that advertises them since you can never get away from those folks (they make buying the worst chore in the world). I was 100% satisfied with the things I bought. They did what they said and did it great.

I bought blu-blocker sunglasses that were the best I have ever had (and cheap, too). I bought the induction plate which I use all the time. It is AWESOME! And I bought one or two other things. I have nothing but good things to say about any of them. BUT, like I said, never buy from the TV ad, itself. That's just an invitation to the worst sort of human and commercial interactions one has ever experienced.

The subject of Boston baked beans came up stressing low and slow cooking, like a good twelve hours at about 300 degrees. A cast iron dutch oven was the preferred vessel. And no tomato in the recipe. They weren't used back then.

I love good baked beans so I'm going to try this. I'll let the thread know how well it works.

181 I just made my first real pretzels, yesterday. I've made fake pretzels before ... with baking soda ... but they were bullshit and were only pretzel teasers, really. So, I broke out the lye and made a real batch, just to see.

They were great! Perfect soft pretzels.

I'm not sure it was worth all the work, really - I can jump in the car and run to a pretzel place 2 minutes away ... but they tasted great. I made a few into larger pretzel buns for hot dogs and stuff.

Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair

The methods involved in making pretzels are pretty much the same as making bagels. You should give it a try while the method is still fresh in your mind.

Ever morning that begins with a freshly defrosted bagel, toasted, then slathered with butter and your choice of topping is a good morning.

192 there are plenty of really good cookies available in any supermarket, but I need to pinch pennies so I tend to stick with Little Debbie Nutty Buddies (chocolate covered wafers with peanut butter filling) or the Swiss Rolls. About $1.79 at the dollar stores.

And when I was working at an office near a 7-11, I'd get the pretty good hot dogs when on sale and give them a couple of squirts of chili sauce.

but if a hot dog needs ketchup, it's not really a hot dog, just some sort of ground meat in a casing.

Posted by: Anna Puma at May 28, 2017 05:18 PM (d4e3K)

196 When I was a kid, we loved anything Archway made, but especially the big, soft molasses ones. We also craved iced oatmeal cookies or Voortman's windmill cookies. We begged for Oreos, but my mom always bought Sunshine Hydrox, because they were cheaper. I don't think we have ever forgiven her. When I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I stopped buying cookies. You can buy gluten free cookies now, but most of them aren't worth eating. You have to bake your own, and again, most of them aren't worth eating. For Memorial Day, we are grilling burgers. If it were hotdogs, we would buy Hebrew National. It's the only choice.

Posted by: mustbequantum at May 28, 2017 05:21 PM (MIKMs)

203 Okay, here's a tremendous, sophisticated cocktail from roughly the 1920s from the mighty mighty Harry Craddock.

Cameron's Kick

3/4 oz Almond Orgeat Syrup
1 oz Irish whiskey
1 oz scotch
3/4 oz lemon juice

Shake with ice for 10 secs. Strain into glass. Drink!

Think of this as the Vesper(James Bond's invention) of whiskey. In the Vesper, the nothingness of vodka, softens the flavor of the gin.

Irish Whiskey is a vodka of whiskeys. A big ole nuthin' sayin' "Drink me, ya bastard. I'll get you drunk."
And it acts to soften the flavor of the scotch, which allows the flavor of the orgeat to come into it's own and make a delightful combination with the scotch and lemon.

Surprisingly delicious. And one of those things that will make you up your conversational game...like whether it's better to shoot Fuji apples off peoples' heads with a crossbow or a long bow and whether or not Stayman apples make the best target. Sophisticated stuff like that that's sure to impress your girl or boyfriend.

Notes:

1) For the scotch, use a blend. Dewar's 15 worked very nicely.

2) There are lots of crap Orgeats out there. Orgeat is a natural almond flavor syrup used for cocktails. Try to find and use:

Small Hand Foods
Liber and Co.
Bg Reynolds

orgeats. Any of those will work well.

Check it out.

Some people use lye, some baking soda. Same principle, extreme alkaline fluid.

Lye is a tad more dangerous.

If you like bread making, pretzels and bagels are a natural extension of the same skills. Breadmaking is 101 level, pretzels and bagels 201 level. If you have the 101 level stuff down, than dive into 201 stuff, it's worth the effort.

217 "Sounds interesting! I can't imagine classic American baked beans without a tomato base, though."

Hi Ladylibertarian, A lot of people during colonial times considered tomatoes to be poison. Recipes from that time don't use them. The Fanny Farmer cookbook has an older, tomato-less recipe that I'll probably use. Also, not using tomatoes means no trouble cooking the beans in cast iron.

A friend of mine, who first introduced me to Australian musk candy, German Licorice, and other horrible things, also bought a tin of Chinese cookies that were filled with some sort of frosting. Dear Lord, they were horrible. They had less flavor than a stale fortune cookie and the only mouth sensation was the frosting that was some sort of mixed vegetable shortening and sugar.
The were bad cookies.

Also the time I made cookies and substituted uncooked rice for nuts because I wanted something chewier. Those were bad cookies too.

271 JTB, sometimes I will slow cook a stew uncovered in the oven in a iron pot. Usually some cheap meat chunks, lots of onion and various root veggies.
a quarter boneless pork shoulder does good for this

It turns out well, even if I have to monitor it to top it off every half hour. When you slow cook onions like that they do get a very buttery consisency

Playing with the animals (literally-back in those days there were no barriers, really, between the animals and the elephant would pull my hair with it's trunk, and the gorilla and I would play tag by racing around his enclosure. I named him George, and he would make mean noises at people who came too near me.) and eating those cookies was a sweet memory.

The main course on tonight's menu is "hoddawgs." "One wit, one wit not no relich" as they say in NEPA.

Thirty years ago a student dentist at THE Ohio State University asked me (knowing that I smoked cigarettes) if I smoked a pipe. I said "No. Why?" He said the stains on my molars were consistent with those seen on pipe smokers.

And so my pot pipe went out the window. I can't believe the discovery of a marijuana smoke - periodontal disease link is anything new. The tars and carcinogens contained in pot smoke have been known for over 50 years.

368 To each his own of course, but meat with sweet is pretty prevalent. Most Asian cooking, for example. BBQ sauces are pretty sweet, even the ones used for beef. Lamb is good with mint or jalape�o jelly. I agree pork especially lends itself to very sweet rubs and sauces including those made with things like Dr Pepper and Big Red.

370 I've never been much of a bourbon fan, but attended a conference speaker reception this week, and tried Knob Creek and Bullitt each straight up as G*d intended.

I enjoyed both, and clearly have been missing out. The KC had way more body and legs, and was sweeter. I can't say either paired particularly well with the (good) finger food served, but both were excellent sippers.

If I had to choose one for home, I'd probably go with the Knob Creek, but the Bullitt would be very welcome, as well.

So, Horde Bourbonistas, what other bourbons should I be on the lookout for?

So once a week the campers got to ride on the two Asian elephants, and I had to ride with them. I liked it, not knowing how dangerous they can be.

Did Obama make this flag???

Posted by: Don Q. at May 28, 2017 06:18 PM (NgKpN)

From USFlag.org:

The Star Spangled Banner: This Flag became the Official United States Flag on May 1st,1795. Two stars were added for the admission of Vermont (the 14th State on March 4th, 1791) and Kentucky (the 15th State on June 1st, 1792, and was to last for 23 years. The five Presidents who served under this flag were; George Washington (1789-1797), John Adams (1797-1801), Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), James Madison (1809-1817), and James Monroe (1817-1825).

The 15-star, 15-stripe flag was authorized by the Flag Act of January 13, 1794, adding 2 stripes and 2 Stars. The regulation went into effect on May 1, 1795. This flag was the only U.S. Flag to have more than 13 stripes. It was immortalized by Francis Scott Key during the bombardment of Fort McHenry, Sept 13, 1814. The image above is representative of the actual flag that flew over Fort McHenry on that day and which is now preserved in the Smithsonian Museum. You can notice the "tilt" in some of the stars just as in the original Star Spangled Banner.

Yeah - I knew about this but had to cite a source for credibility.

Be careful - because there's a 50/50 chance that what you know to be fact isn't.

429 OT: Davidson College students (and at least one professor) are dumber than rocks:

https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/32762/

A conservative student group fronted a petition to "redistribute" GPA points as a bone-shatteringly obvious comparison to redistribution of wealth. It looks like most of the students didn't get the comparison (including at least one professor).

Most argued against the petition (and unknowingly against redistribution of wealth), but some signed it.

First of all, this is the Econ 1 version of holding your thumb between two fingers and claiming to have stolen someone's nose. If you "fall for" that, you are a mental toddler.

Secondly, if this threatens you, you will certainly not make it in the real world for more than five minutes.

Thirdly, primitive tribespeople we refer to as "college students" have resorted to ritual magic such as saying "unsafe" or "oppressive" whenever they're asked to justify their power and control fantasies.

These institutions are *really* not serving a useful purpose in a large number of cases, and their financial standing needs to be tied to that performance in some fashion, because removing incentive from the equation has clearly crippled these people.

I'm way more sympathetic to a "social safety net" than most conservatives, but you have to A) pay for it and B) exercise at least minimal competency in managing it. Neither is happening now.

And yes, the babysitting going on here is part of the social safety net, not education.

If you want a diplomatic solution to North Korea, the only answer is bringing the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement to the floor of the Senate for debate. TPP would cut China trade off at the knees, and transfer that trade to another group of equally as bad actors.

But it *would* paint a bright red line in the sand for China to decide who they want to deal and trade with.

Mesa Market in Mesa, AZ, which is a ginormous indoor flea market that runs every weekend, has an "as seen on TV store", and I have seen such stores in other such venues.

One cool thing I got there, but not at the "as seen on TV" store was a pair of bifocal sunglasses...non-prescription sunglasses with clear reading lenses cut into the lower portion of the lenses. They actually work pretty well. Ten bucks.

Short answer: no.

Sounds like Gun Counter FUD to me! Then again, people will believe any internet rumor these days.

Some cities, for example, have special liability statutes related to storage, if someone else, like a child, gets hold of your loaded gun. Arguably precedent can put you in that position anywhere if your weapon is stored "carelessly."

But I'm unaware of any such blanket law. And I've looked.

Mind you, the laws here are bad. Not as bad as Hawaii or Massachusetts, yet, but bad.

Or 25100, since 25105 is just a list of exceptions.

All of which refer to a case where a child gets hold of a loaded weapon on your property *and* injures or kills someone with it.

It's basically a negligence charge, the same kind of thing applies almost anywhere, it just has a separate title in CA.

It is still not illegal to have a loaded firearm at home.

Posted by: Jack Sock at May 28, 2017 08:18 PM (IDPbH) fnord (IDPbH)

Whatever the title, having a loaded firearm in your house is not illegal. The statute cannot (legally) be applied in a case of simply storing a firearm.

There is a whole list of conditions and exceptions. Lookin' right at it. The third degree includes "knows or should know a child will gain access to it *without permission*." The other two require injury or death.

Other states call that "child endangerment" and regularly punish it, the statutes simply have different titles. I looked up Alaska and Arizona because they were first on the list.

Every law is there for a reason, even if the reason is incredibly stupid.

Posted by: navybrat at May 28, 2017 08:34 PM (w7KSn)

591 @546 It is still not illegal to have a loaded firearm at home.
------------------

IIRC, in some states (possibly including California) this actually is illegal if someone who's been convicted of a felony charge (i.e. someone who would not be allowed gun themselves) is living in the home.

But again, this is a special circumstance, and not usually a problem for the public at large.

592 Just got back from church. My congregation is made up of singles, so we have a get together with food after church once a month. My contribution this month was a chocolate covered raspberry cheese cake pie.

I'm making another one tonight for the Memorial Day BBQ that my friend is having tomorrow.

593 One of the great cookies from my youth was "Famous" chocolate wafers. My sister and I used to make a ice box cake with whipped creme between chocolate Famous cookies with more whipped creme to cover the cake. i know they still make the chocolate wafers. Maybe I should try to make the cake sometime. We used real whipped cream-not the kind from a can.

594 Favorite store cookie growing up: Something called "lemon coolers," a half sphere dusted heavily with powdered sugar, and with sharp lemon to contrast with the sugar.

Favorite store cookie now: Ginger Man. Pepperidge farm. Or maybe those thin crisp Trader Joe's ones with almond and raisin.

Last time I actually ate a cookie: maybe a year ago. Sometimes HFLC is kind of a pain.

nope. just don't leave the house unattended with it there. if we are home, there are loaded firearms in ready reach. in fact, given the way things are getting here, we're likely to start packing when out in the yard, front or back.

632 Horde, have you noticed the subtle changes in the description of shows on tv and cable when you check out the info?

For example, for Harry Potter Deathly Hallow Part 1, it starts, "In this riveting installment for the 'Harry Potter' saga, ...."

This pisses me off. Who are you, lowly description writer, to offer an opinion as to whether this is 'riveting' or not? Fvck you.

ANYWAY, I noticed this change a couple years ago, and I'm wondering if anyone else did also.

Just like when the Weather Channel went from straight arrow weather reporting to SJW/GlobalFvckingWarming/ClimateChange insane in every third segment....

Get off my lawn.

There! It's good to vent.

633 @604 This is not food related. but i am just really interested in alternative services/ Is a service with a lot of praise music or what does the service consist of if you don't mind the question/
----------------------

It's an LDS congregation. Pretty much the standard worship service and meetings that would be expected in any other LDS congregation, except that there are no allowances for kids. So while a standard congregation would have a nursery and Sunday School classes for the kids and teenagers following the worship service, those don't exist. And lessons during the second and third hour don't end up deviating into discussions on parenting and child rearing.

There's also some age segregation involved. Our congregation is 31-45. There's another singles congregation that's 18-30 that meets in the same building. Otherwise you risk having young singles show up, get weirded out by dramatically older members of the opposite sex, and never come back.

Koreans tend to be Presbyterians, is that correct? I've lived in Queens NY and I've seen a fair number of Korean Presbyterian churches.

Much less aggressive on the smoke and the meat can speak for itself.

674 So I just saw "the girl with all the gifts", the crossover episode between The Last Of Us and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

thoughts -

682 My dad was a baker for 40 years, owning his own bakery for 25 of those years. Growing up, we always had bakery-made cookies, cakes, bread, rolls, pies, etc, in the house. Two weeks a year, in August, Dad closed the bakery so we could take a vacation traveling around the USA and camping (in a trailer, no tent camping for my mother). Those two weeks were the only time of the year we had store-bought cookies. We would get Oreos and Chips Ahoy. Kids would be jealous that I had bakery cookies in my lunches at school, and I would sometimes trade them for their Oreos.

Ok, I believe you. My mother came from South Korea (although she is ethnically Chinese). She was a lapsed Catholic, although she once made me watch Mass on TV when I was a kid. Decades later, after studying Christianity in depth, I realized that my mother had no conception of sin, soteriology, atonement, etc. all that stuff that constitutes the meat of the New Testament.

704 @643 Thanks, That's really interesting. I have never heard o services for just singles. Is that a common thing in LDS churches.?
-------------------

Yes and no.

A little history seems appropriate.

The singles program with the LDS Church probably got going during the early '70s, though I don't know the specifics at that point in time. I know that there were singles-only wards at least as far back as the late '80s, but the one I'm aware of from back then wasn't age-restricted. During the early '90s, I was part of a Young Single Adult Ward (ward = congregation), which is for the 18-30 group that I mentioned above. YSA Wards are quite common because they let people right out of high school and in college attend church without the stigma of being single in a congregation dominated by families, and because they're a good way to meet other singles (either in the congregation, or in combined activities with other similar congregations) and hopefully find a good spouse.

I'm currently part of a Mid-Singles Adult Ward. The one that I'm in was one of the first, and was started as an experiment. Apparently the idea worked and was accepted by the Church Headquarters because official guidelines for the unit-type were issued after a year or two. Mid-Singles Wards are still somewhat rare, though, in part because from what I've heard the local leadership in many places doesn't like them. The age in an MSA ward is restricted to 31-45.

Unfortunately, that same local leadership that doesn't like MSA Wards also often drops the ball when it comes to supporting the mid-singles in the area. Before I started attending the MSA Ward, the stake (think diocese) that I was a part of only sponsored non-age restricted singles events. This meant that over 90% of the people attending were at least twice my age. Needless to say, I only attended a couple of those events.

The braise is gently applied every 15-30 minutes. It is a combination of ACV, honey and mmph mmph secret recipe which helps maintain the moisture during the smoke.
Posted by: Mortimer - Finish Her! at May 28, 2017 09:01 PM (Uxokn)

I'd have to find the recipe for the sauce but a local BBQ joint had my favorite ribs.

I use garlic salt and pepper on the ribs and BBQ until they are not quite cooked. Cover with BBQ sauce and finish in the oven for about 25 minutes.
The sauce is a mixture of ketchup, honey, brown sugar, liquid smoke and a few other things I can't remember right now.

Alex's BBQ shell beach was the restaurant. Sadly they closed after 40 years.

It always seemed a bit surreal to me. Asians saying "Total Deplavity! Unconditionarr Erection!", etc.

I'm half asian, but I think asians are just too "weird" to get the point of Christianity.
-------------------

Christianity (specifically, Catholicism) was well on its way to getting a solid foothold in Japan during the Sengoku Jidai era. Unfortunately, while Oda Nobunaga was tolerant of the outside religion, his successors - Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyesu - were not. There are a number of famous Japanese Christians from the era. When I was at the Reagan Library, they had a gallery on loan from the Vatican. The Japanese national that I went to the library with pointed to one of them, and identified her as Lady Gracia. The most famous Japanese Christian of the era was probably Dom Justo Takayama, a daimyo who was respected by the country's leadership, but who lost everything he owned and went into exile in Manila because he refused to renounce his Christian faith.

He was beatified by the Catholic Church in February of this year.

--------------------

I live across the street (behind) a Korean church that's also possibly a school of some sort (I'm not completely sure on the latter). They pack the parking lot every Sunday, make it impossible to park on the street (not a problem for me, mind you), and fill up an overflow parking lot that's not far away.

From what I can tell, they're pretty devoted.

Speaking of which, Kraft dialed the Tumeric in their new "more natural" powdered cheese sauce by about 90% and it's edible again.

Not quite as good as the last 35 years they made it, but edible. Unlike that brown crap in the first new version that tasted like salty dirt.

Pretty much every time food makers change something, it gets worse. I'm trying to think of something "new and improved" that was actually better.

I've been sober since I almost died of rockfish poisoning on a beach in Mexico and they nearly poisoned me to death with alcohol as a painkiller (it's a nerve toxin). I was about 14.

Basically, while I drink a few times a year and I'm not totally averse, I associate drunkenness with searing nerve agony.

Pacific rockfish. Paralyzing nerve toxin. Considered the most poisonous fish. The doctor who saw me later (I was in an isolated place) said that if I'd been stung higher in my leg I would probably have died.

but people sneer at tiny homes, I want a small home, not tiny, 1 bedroom, one bat, kitchen livingroom
just big enough to put my favorites stuff In and away from urban life.

I like high ceilings and I cannot lie.

I need to get rid of a lot of stuff, personally. I hate clutter and I live in it.

I would prefer to have a lot of space so I didn't ever have to use living space as storage.

I hate knick knacks. I used to hang curtains in front of shelves so the room looked like it had less stuff in it.

868 today my brother helped me get a load of my 'stuff' out of my old house where my ex husband and I used to live. boxes of books, art, fabric and pictures. also, my large work table.

I've lived in this little house since Halloween without these few boxes. and I'm happy to have them back!

Moving to NM and back really streamlined my possession-life.
