Beef Fizz was evidently invented in a time sufficiently advanced to allow easy chilling, condensation of broth, and canning of broth. And yet they invented it.

...Just got an e-mail from my parish that said the power was still out after Thursday's storm. The church was in the direct path of the straight-line winds. There's still about 400,000 customers without power in Houston. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at May 18, 2024 09:07 PM (MoZTd)


I was out on I-45 North, heading for Dallas, when that storm rolled in on my path, at about 3pm. I'd left Galveston at about 1:30 pm, and the storm hit (not the light rain beginnings, but THE STORM), when I was just passing The Woodlands, and coming into the Southernmost beginnings of Conroe. Those two locales have damn near merged, anyway.

Dark as Midnight, well into Huntsville, where I pulled off the freeway, for both food and refuge at a local McDs.

Longest I've ever stayed at a McDs, too. About 90 minutes, till the rain slacked off a bit. Pressed on Northbound. Skies began to lighten a bit, around Centerville. All told, about 100 miles of OMG monsoon, 100 ft. visibility driving. Hell, it became a nice, beautiful sunset evening, by time I made Ennis, TX. Arrived Dallas appx 7:45 pm.

Countin' my blessings, here!

67 Daughter brought a nice vase of flowers to her mom this week. Pink and red roses from her backyard garden, and a sprig of small roses from the front gate here at Rancho Webworker, bushes dating back to my grandmother's day.

Daisy dog had a good day lounging outside, and barking at the neighbor mowing the lawn. She keeps trying to play with old Ony cat, but the cat just doesn't understand. I get it -- I'd be a bit concerned if an animal with a head as big as my whole body was lunging at me and making weird noises.

That's my garden and pet thread contributions for the day. I need a hobby, I guess. Besides hitting 'refresh' all day. Glad the blog crisis is over... for now.

Howdy, y'all. Welcome back to the ONT, MisHum. Hope the knee is treating you well.

I was out on I-45 North, heading for Dallas, when that storm rolled in on my path, at about 3pm. I'd left Galveston at about 1:30 pm, and the storm hit (not the light rain beginnings, but THE STORM), when I was just passing The Woodlands, and coming into the Southernmost beginnings of Conroe. Those two locales have damn near merged, anyway.

Dark as Midnight, well into Huntsville, where I pulled off the freeway, for both food and refuge at a local McDs.

Longest I've ever stayed at a McDs, too. About 90 minutes, till the rain slacked off a bit. Pressed on Northbound. Skies began to lighten a bit, around Centerville. All told, about 100 miles of OMG monsoon, 100 ft. visibility driving. Hell, it became a nice, beautiful sunset evening, by time I made Ennis, TX. Arrived Dallas appx 7:45 pm.

Born and raised in North Dakota, as were her parents and grandparents, but didn't speak English til 1st grade, when the nuns at her school beat it in to her

268 My friend's mom had a great recipe from the seventies. It was a slushy stuff that you stored in the freezer. Then when you wanted a drink, you put about a cup of it into a glass, and added vodka. It was so dang good. I think the slush had lemonade concentrate, iced tea and a couple other things in it. I lost the recipe. I've looked online in hopes of finding it, but no luck.

344 A final observation, and of course I'm not sure this is true of the entire region, but my mother in law's spice cabinet consisted of salt, pepper and onion powder. Oh, and a can of Kraft parmesan cheese.

And she was very cautious with her pepper, lest she make a dish too spicy. Black pepper, mind you.

The lady made the most incredible Cole slaw, though. She was a good cook, it was just a bit of culture shock for me initially.

The least expensive brand the cats will eat is still about 80¢/can. One place sells it by the can, by 32 can/box, and by 40 can/box; the 40 can/box is more expensive per can. Guess they figure most folks won't do the math...

Ace of Spades HQ, Ace of Spades, or AoS is a conservative and humor-driven U.S.-based political blog covering current events, legal issues, military hardware, and salacious topics in popular culture.

AoSHQ, like many political blogs, links to and comments on the day's news. Unlike some other online commentary sites, however, it often features humorous content in its videos, cartoons, and pictures. The site frequently employs obscenity and vulgar language, setting it apart from most conservative media outlets. One center-right devout Catholic blogger has described the blog and its commenters as "smart but very very vulgar."

During the Carter Recession, Soviet propaganda outlets happily announced that many Americans were so now poor that they had to eat dog and cat food.

The reaction of the Soviet public was:

"Wait - Americans have special food for cats and dogs?"

There's a YouTube channel of a guy from Cuba that married an American and just came here maybe two years ago. His reactions to seeing a supermarket, a Costco, and yep, even PetSmart are something to see.

It starts with disbelief and then in the supermarket he just gets overwhelmed and had to leave. He explained that he was terribly sad because his daughter still in Cuba couldn't have a birthday cake because there was no eggs. Sometimes they had milk, sometimes not. There was more food in that store that day than his home town saw in a year.

458 >>In a bygone era, Trump would win a 40-45 state landslide, but that's no longer functionally possible, I'll take win though.

The reason I unequivocally support Trump is not because he is perfect. He isn't.

It's because he fights against the establishment like nodody else in my lifetime. He has shattered the convential wisdom and the took a dump on it. And he wins.

Trump just didn't have a rally in south New Jersey. He had the biggest political event in the history of New Jersey. And now he is going to the Bronx. A frigging Republican presidential candidate is campaigning in the south Bronx. I grew up just north of there and this is like AOC holding a campaign event in Texas.

She also made this thing she called a vegetable salad that consisted of various canned vegetables dumped in a huge jar, with a dressing made of mainly vinegar and sugar and oil in equal parts ( I think) whi h you made early in the day because you had to put it in tbe fridge and flip it over every so often.

It was better than it sounds, assuming you don't mind canned vegetables suspended in an oily, sugary liquid.

Pretty sure Mari is also Cuban, she's just been here longer.

I mean, I think she's a citizen, but born in Cuba. I could absolutely be wrong, though.

Yeah, she may have been born here, maybe there, I don't know. One thing that blew my mind was taking him to Bass Pro. He explained that the average Cuban people aren't allowed to go fishing. Not even talking in a boat, like can't stand on the beach and fish. Can't have anybody not totally dependent on the State.

That is frightening on two levels: First are the raisins in Rice-A-Roni, themselves. The second is feeling safe eating fast food (as Chipotle's cilantro chimes in).

I'm so glad my Mom could cook and taught me the basics.

I made my kids wash their own clothes starting at the age of about 12 or 13. Both know how to cook basic things (like eggs), and the older one is into sous vide big time. Pretty easy following most recipes.

This was just a bit ago, so I'm tired from mowing etc, old arthritic back just wants to rest. So after a couple of glasses of wine Jules comes running screaming about a bat in the house.

I confined it to the room and plotted. Then she wanted me to get her phone, cigs, etc. Go into the room w/ my trusty fish net, which also serves as a bat catcher at times.

Grab her valuables and evaluate the bat's flying cycle. Well I'm in no shape to catch it but after watching I took 2 swipes and caught it on the second one!

Now we can sleep, cept I'm too wired. LOL

Oh, it would be! I'd tell you a story but he was embarrassed that I'd even heard it. And while he's sleeping now, you know he'll wake up and smoke over the ONT.

But this one here is too good:

His mother told him he was the little boy she'd always wanted. She said that often.

One time, when she was correcting him (she calls it "correcting" - so cute!), he looked up at her and said, "I guess I'm not the little boy you always wanted." He was very young then, and doesn't remember it.

But, I'm afraid the Eyetyes would be no match for the Cartels, MS-13, Tongs and other such scum.

Classic American Italian Mafiosi were right bastard criminals, all right. But, they mostly kept within their boundaries , such as they were.

The others? They're all Lord Humungus, writ larger, and more cruel. They're as if the Borg had assimilated the Klingon, the Romulans and all the other vermin of space, into one, horrific android which barely even resembles "humanity".

THAT is who would soon run Cuba if the Commies were swept away.

We occasionally took them employees out on little excursions, and the first time they ever saw any old grocery store, they literally stood stock still, mouths agape.

Wal-Mart often led to tears.

Most of them thought it was a setup at first. Once one group asked if they could stop at the most random places, and finally admitted that they assumed we were taking them to fake places and were trying to find the "real" stores.

These were literal rocket scientists, who had access to a little more than an average Russian or Ukrainian citizen.

649 "LeBeau" Robert Clary was an actual concentration camp survivor.

Posted by: as Miklos informs at May 19, 2024 01:05 AM (994Xn)


He was indeed, and spoke in later life about both his experiences as a Holocaust survivor and how different his experience playing LeBeau was. I've read that John Banner was also in a concentration camp briefly before the war but was released somehow, came to the States, and enlisted in the US Army after Pearl Harbor. And both Werner Klemperer and Leon Askin managed to escape to the US before they could be interned.

652 Maryland was also the state that mandated a fired cartridge case be supplied with every new handgun sold in the state, for ballistic identification purposes. Since the manufacturers couldn't tell where their guns might be sold, they started doing it for all of them. This probably added ten dollars or so to the price of every handgun sold in the USA.
After a couple of years, Maryland had 100,000 cases in storage, no way to cross reference them to casings found at crime scenes, and zero cases solved from the inventory. When the cost to the state for managing this useless program was revealed, the law was repealed.

IIRC, Werner Klemperer's dad was an orchestra conductor and his uncle was a doctor married to a Gentile woman. The uncle was considered Jewish by the Nazis and was the victim of worsening sanctions as the war went on. I think he wrote a book about his experiences.

663 Miley, Berserker's heart surgery was a few months back; I don't remember many of the details. He seems to be recovering well, though.

Speaking of recovery, and apropos of Miss Tammy's admonition to TiFW not to get too skinny, a pro tip I recently heard: if you're ever in a condition where the doctors say you really need to put some weight back on, the most calorie-dense food on the market today is... the humble Oreo. (The loved one who received that advice from a nurse can't eat chocolate but discovered that golden Oreos are nearly as good for that purpose--just eat three golden instead of two classic for the same caloric intake.)

In SC, the rule at the many public oyster beds is two (2) bushels per person per day.

So for large oyster roasts, you go to the local drinking establishment and offer free beer and $10 to the early arrivals. They just sit and drink and when the Man comes to check, they are worth two bushels.

Period-correct, too. IIRC, oysters were so cheap and plentiful in the eighteenth century that there were laws limiting the amount of oysters masters could feed their apprentices, not to preserve the oyster beds, but to make sure the apprentices got other things to eat. (Pretty sure Jon Townsend brought that up in an 18th Century Cooking ep, but I'm too tired to try to find it tonight.)

700+ comments, good work you intelligent vulgarians.

I have some beef broth but no ginger ale. Do you think I could substitute Dr Pepper? Just joking, I already have plans for the broth. However, if I had had ginger ale, I would have tried it because ginger/beef -yum! Just unsure about the sweetness.

People are strange. But I remember reading in a book on profiling 'Everyone has a rock.' The idea being that everyone has something that they respond to irrationally/exuberantly/passionately- and it is not always what you think it would be. Trump and Covid were rocks for a lot of people.

I dunno. In general I find this to be true, but I prefer to stick with 'People show you who they are' and leave it at that.

My casserole trauma was mentioned, I see. When I was a kid, we'd have to go eat Sunday dinner or some holiday dinner at some of the relations. The aunts would make some casseroles for the occasion. Various stuff.

And I'd have to eat it. I remember some green bean casserole. I love green beans, but not in this casserole formula.

So, no more casseroles for me.

I think the thing with the casseroles that put me off as a kid (and you know how you are when you're a kid -- your taste changes as you get older. When you're little, tastes can be really strong) was mixing the creamy stuff in with the vegetables.

In fact, these oils are sold for the purpose of cleaning. Note, though limonene itself is considered comparatively nontoxic, after it has dissolved the polystyrene, it might be a slightly more dangerous, since any unreacted styrene monomer in solution is somewhat more toxic."

812 But they were downright explosive with Nitrogen Tri-iodine...
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at May 19, 2024 02:48 AM (ynpvh)

I do not remember the stuff, but thinking about the molecule thought it might be nasty. So I looked it up:

Nitrogen triiodide is an inorganic compound with the formula NI3. It is an extremely sensitive contact explosive: small quantities explode with a loud, sharp snap when touched even lightly, releasing a purple cloud of iodine vapor; it can even be detonated by alpha radiation. NI3 has a complex structural chemistry that is difficult to study because of the instability of the derivatives. Although nitrogen is more electronegative than iodine, the compound was so named due to its analogy to the compound nitrogen trichloride.

815 I love wiki entries for chemicals:

"When kept cold in the dark and damp with ammonia, NI3 · NH3 is stable."

Also:

"Consistent with this equation, these explosions leave orange-to-purple stains of iodine, which can be removed with sodium thiosulfate solution. "

"You may ne'er see your loved ones,"
Travis told them that day
"Those who want to can leave now
Those who fight to the death let 'em stay."
In the sand he drew a line
With his army sabre
Out of a hundred eighty five
Not a soldier crossed the line
With his banners a-dancin'
In the dawn's golden light
Santa Anna came prancing
On a horse that was black as the night.
Sent an officer to tell
Travis to surrender
Travis answered with a shell
And a rousing rebel yell
Santa Anna turned scarlet
"Play deguello!" he roared
"I will show them no quarter
Every one will be put to the sword!"

Holding back five thousand
Five days, six days, eight days, ten
Travis held and held again
Then he sent for replacements
For his wounded and lame
But the troops that were coming
Never came, never came, never came...
Twice he charged and blew recall
On the fatal third time
Santa Anna breached the wall
And he killed 'em, one and all
Now the bugles are silent
And there's rust on each sword
And the small band of soldiers...
Lie asleep in the arms of the Lord...

And his heart begins to glow
And he takes his hat off slowly...
To the men of Alamo.
To the thirteen days of glory
At the siege of Alamo...

Dawn Staley was signing I don't know how much stuff. Mama's friend has one too, addressed to her.

And the thing was Dawn Staley just did that on her own, she wasn't asked. Mama's friend's second oldest is a doctor, and he's Dawn Staley's doc, turns out. He'd tell her about his mama and my mama and how they were fans.

She just did that on her own.

907 I think it became socially acceptable to scorn tradition, and in part I see why. Tradition perhaps for many had become routine, without meaning. Perhaps collectively we didn't pass on the soul of the traditions. And perhaps we can, By God's Grace, return to the soul of the traditions that honor Him.

909 JQ,

I've had the exquisite pleasure of fresh peas -- shelled right there standing in the garden row -- only once in my life. It was . . . incredible. Nothing like I expected. Such a different vegetable, legume, whatever, fresh-picked and shelled like that.

I had a great uncle, a farmer of silver queen corn (and a large herd of Holstein milk cows), who would get the corn off the stalk and shuck it on the way into the house, then into the boiling pot of water. All within a minute or so.
Because after that, the corn 'went bad'. (Boy, did it taste good, too, with salt, pepper and butter. I joked at lunch on Saturday that I could eat corn on the cob for breakfast, lunch and dinner; he served me corn on the cob for breakfast Sunday, along with the country sausage patties, then laughed as I dug into that ear without so much as a thought because 'I was a man of my word'.) Fresh peas were like that. So incredible straight out of the garden. With nothing else needed. So good.

916 Men can be false, too.

I chose poorly the first time-- hubby 1 was always a bum, I just didn't recognize it. Too young & blind.

Hubby 2 (whom I shall always refer to as "number two") was truly a piece of number two, but disguised it very well. For about a year, that is.... took me a couple more years and about $25K to get away safely.

I suppose this explains why I tend to get defensive when "the boys" start trash-talking wimmens in general, so... Realizing that it's MY problem after all, I will stfu from now on when guys do what they gotta do, LOL.

Anyway, Romeo13, sorry your trust got busted. It happens.

Can't believe I went for hubby 3. 22 years and still going! We struggle, but it's mostly age- and health-related.

920 I don't think our society offers much in the way of heroes. I would look to the classical heroes.

Ages ago, American children were taught that the forefathers were heroes, with or without the intent to show the flaws as the children were better able to under that heroes aren't perfect.

More recently, American children are taught the flaws to blind children to the accomplishments.

I actually pulled that rain gauge stunt with my father one time as a kid. Didn't pee in it, just poured some water in it. He had gone off all day for something, then came back late that afternoon. It rained a little bit, and I poured enough water in the gauge to make it look like 2".

He looked at that, then looked around. Walked out in the field, and start sort of stomping around. It couldn't have rained that much....

Another funny stunt along those lines a couple of my uncles pulled on this guy who bought a new car (this would've been back in the '50s) and bragged about the gas mileage.

He'd drive it a little each day. Not much, just around town. Well, every night, they'd sneak over there and top off the tank with gas.

They did that for about two weeks or so. Then they stopped. He thought something was wrong and the car was now using way too much gas. He took it back to the dealer and demanded they find out what was wrong.

1002 How glad the many millions
Of Annabelles and Lillians
Would be
To capture me!
But you had such persistence
You wore down my resistance
I fell
And it was swell

You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you, I shall never, never know

It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view

1011 I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion

Could you coo?
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you
