• Friday night supper

    From Dave Smith@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 4 18:28:53 2025
    I can smell my wife's cod fillet cooking. I am having shrimp tacos. We
    have solved our problem with her being unable to eat my beloved shrimp.
    I have some tacos ready to warm up. The pico de gayo and guacamole are
    all set. I just need a couple minutes to saute the shrimp. I am looking
    forward to it.

    I've ruined my supper so I'm not sure what I'll be eating.

    If you are interested here's a tried & true recipe for
    spicy shrimp courtesy of Reynold's Aluminum Foil.



    Spicy Shrimp


    1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp

    4 cloves of minced garlic (micro plane zester does an excellent job on
    this)

    1/4 cup lemon juice (usually the yield of 1 lemon)

    2 teaspoons lemon pepper

    4 teaspoons seafood seasoning such as Old Bay

    2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce

    1/2 cup of vegetable oil


    Whisk all together and pour over cleaned shrimp and marinate for at
    least 30 minutes. Half of the sauce can be reserved to brush on the
    shrimp while grilling if desired. This also can be quickly prepared in
    a skillet on the stove. Either way gives great results and a grill
    skillet can used if you don't want to skewer your shrimp for the grill.

    I've been meaning to ask. How's the weather? Your area appears to have a permanent, nasty storm system hanging over it. Stay dry and non-tornadic
    if you can. I worry.

    Oh brother!! We've had some nasty weather the last 2 days
    but nothing compared to what the folks northwest of me and
    into Kentucky have been experiencing. Hopkinsville, KY
    has already received 12 inches of rain.

    Lots of local flooding here and in surrounding counties.
    Thankfully, I live on a hill about a half a mile from
    the river. If where I live ever floods, Nashville will
    just be a memory.

    Lobster!!!
    My wife came home with a couple lobsters she had picked up on sale. They
    were already cooked and only needed to be warmed up in a pot of hot
    water for a few minutes. We had some nice freshly picked local
    asparagus, salad, a nice fresh roll and some wine.

    It was homemade tomato soup here and it really hit
    the spot! I tossed in a few garlic parmesan cheese
    croutons into my mug as well.

    I'd been craving it all week but knew I'd better
    not risk it, too much acid from those tomatoes.

    I had some smoke meat and rice. I was super fast and easy. Cut up some
    smoke pork and fry with onions. I added some shoyu and that was pretty
    much it.

    What, that sprinkling of furikake on the rice? I doubt that's more

    Yes, I wanted to warn him. Normally he just eats a dead animal with

    I certainly wish dsi1 would learn the use of the past participle.
    Smoked meat. Shaved ice. I suppose "Americans" don't have any
    room to talk, given how many of them refer to "ice tea".

    It's standard Hawaiian patois. He doesn't seem to have learned
    to context switch, given how often he discourteously proffers
    Hawaiian words to people who don't speak or understand the
    language.

    The restaurant meals he shows us fairly frequently has some finely

    Still there. My ticker electrical system is out of wack.
    Some of the main dishes are ok in that I wouldn't be ashamed to serve

    I hope he is okay. He seems to be enjoying the food. Hospital food is
    not always bad. When I had heard surgery the food was surprisingly good.
    The only problem I had was with the salmon I had one night. The salmon
    was quite tasty. The vegetables were okay. The problem was that some of
    the rice grains were hard and I choked on one. It would not normally be
    a problem except that just a few days earlier my sternum had been
    cracked open and then wired back together. Coughing was an extremely
    painful experience, an choking was agonizing.

    A few years later I was in for my gall bladder and they kept me on a
    clear fluid diet like the one I had been living on for almost a week
    already. They promised me real food on day three after the surgery and
    brought me clear fluids. I refused to eat it.

    My last stay was in yet a different hospital and the food was
    disgusting. One meal was a couple very slim slices of mystery meat and a
    pile of corn. Another time it was a tiny piece of meat and a big pile
    of steamed green beans. Breakfast was typically a cold piece of half
    toasted whole wheat bread and a scoop of scrambled eggs that obviously
    had note been made from fresh eggs. They actually maintained the scoop
    shape even after I started eating them.

    Oh no. Good luck with that. Are they going to have to do a the cardio
    inversion thing where they knock you out for a few seconds while they
    reboot the heart with electricity. If you are sufficiently sedated the
    lights go out for a split second and then you are right back. If they
    skimp on it you get kicked in the chest.

    I wish I could fly. In fact, I certainly, positively, wish that I could
    fly.

    The reason that I don't say "shaved ice" etc., is that would be
    incorrect. You guys are free to call it anything you want - I'm not. You
    can even call it a sno-cone. That makes me laugh.

    Pray tell how is shave ice, which is what it is called in Hawaii,
    grammatically different from ice cream? Why is icing called icing? It is
    not ice, nor does frosting involved ice. Let's keep things in
    perspective since it is coming from the land where beef is often served redundantly with au jus.

    I wish I could fly. In fact, I certainly, positively, wish that I could

    Yes, I wanted to warn him. Normally he just eats a dead animal with

    The restaurant meals he shows us fairly frequently has some finely
    shredded cabbage. No way to know whether he eats that, though.

    Pray tell how is shave ice, which is what it is called in Hawaii, grammatically different from ice cream? Why is icing called icing? It is
    not ice, nor does frosting involved ice. Let's keep things in
    perspective since it is coming from the land where beef is often served redundantly with au jus.

    In Hawaii, we like to say "iced cream." Language itself is a pretty

    In Pennyslvania, is it "shoo - fly" pie, or "shoe - fly pie... I've encountered both...

    "Why is it called a shoo fly?

    Its name came about this way: in the 19th century, “shoo-fly” was a
    common American interjection that entered the vocabulary from a popular minstrel song. Just as it implies, it was used to scare away pests,
    often accompanied with the flapping of hands...

    The primary ingredients of the filling are molasses, brown sugar, and
    water. Serving the cake in pie crust made it easier for people to eat it
    with their hands in the 19th century. It comes in two different
    versions: wet-bottom and dry-bottom...?

    Especially since I've eat tonkatsu, chicken katsu, and salmon

    (snippage)

    When I was in the hospital in 2008 I was only allowed clear broths for
    days. At first it didn't bother me because I had no appetite to speak
    of. By the 5th day, though, I was really hungry. They said I could
    have hamburger. It wasn't actually a "burger". It was what some might
    call a loose meat sandwich. Browned ground beef, spooned onto a soft
    white hamburger bun. I was so hungry by that time, it tasted great!

    In Memphis I worked with a guy whose parents would go to a local
    hospital cafeteria to have dinner occasionally. That sounded a little
    odd but they told him the food was really good.

    My favorite animal to eat is dead animal. In fact, I insist that my food

    I recently had lunch consisting of 100% dead animal/plant material.
    Being dead makes the food easy to swallow. Praise be to the Lord for

    We had a New England boiled dinner. The corned beef went on sale
    for half-price, right before the St. Pat's Day remainder reached
    use-by date at my store.

    I still have two corned beef briskets in the freezer. The stores around
    here never stock enough of them to go on sale for half price.

    I bought some boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a vague plan of
    what to do with them, a few days ago. They turned Mustgovian yesterday,
    so I'm boiling them to dice for ramen, today. That was not my original
    vague plan which involved pounding flat and breading. Oh, well.

    I'd have gone with the pounded flat, breaded and pan fried version with
    the chicken breasts but hey, I'm not the one cooking at your house. :)

    My wife came home with a couple lobsters she had picked up on sale. They
    were already cooked and only needed to be warmed up in a pot of hot
    water for a few minutes. We had some nice freshly picked local
    asparagus, salad, a nice fresh roll and some wine.


    We had a New England boiled dinner. The corned beef went on sale
    for half-price, right before the St. Pat's Day remainder reached
    use-by date at my store.
    I bought some boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a vague plan of
    what to do with them, a few days ago. They turned Mustgovian yesterday,
    so I'm boiling them to dice for ramen, today. That was not my original
    vague plan which involved pounding flat and breading. Oh, well.

    Do you eat the watercress sprigs that are sometimes served with meals as garnish? I have, but it didn't have much of a taste. Maybe Uncle's

    I agree your Majesty. Until that gook can PROVE he eats that cabbage, I
    think he's lying, just as you do.

    Maybe together, we can put enough pressure on him to get him to admit he doesn't eat the cabbage.

    This is a VERY important matter that we really need to resolve.

    My neighbor, a sweet old lady, was having problems with her balance and
    falling down at random moments. A doctor said it was vertigo but
    couldn't pin down the exact cause. Some people were trying to sell her
    hearing aids.

    It was quite alarming but we were surprised to see her in the parking
    lot one day, right as rain. It seems her ticker had lost it's mojo. A
    heart stimulator restored her life again. It's like a freakin' miracle.

    A pacemaker?

    Yes, scheduled for Tuesday. I'll have to keep clear from people with
    magnetic personalities.

    Oh no, stay away from Trump!

    Full-Size Chevrolet Option Installation Rates:

    Number made: 1,263,598 units

    In 1960, Chevrolet still sold a lot of sparsely equipped big cars:
    Forty-four percent of full-size Chevrolets had six-cylinder engines, 33
    percent had stick shift, and only 35 percent were ordered with radios...

    Only 27 percent of buyers ordered power steering, and just 11 percent
    ordered power brakes...

    Air conditioning was rare – ordered by only 3.0 percent of buyers — and
    a mere 1.0 percent of full-size Chevrolet customers specified power
    windows...

    By 1969, fewer than 5 percent of full-size Chevys had a six-cylinder
    engine, and a mere 3.6 percent had three-speed manual transmission...

    Just 8.3 percent had manual steering, while only 37.9 percent didn’t
    have air conditioning...

    The only real surprise in these statistics is the slow acceptance of
    power brakes. Until 1968, the take rate for these was less than 30
    percent, and it wasn’t until 1970 that more than half of all full-size Chevrolets were ordered with them...

    Other than power brakes, which became standard on the big Chevy line for
    1971, it took a remarkably long time for many of these features to
    become standard on the full-size Chevrolet, and longer still for the
    strippers and poverty specials to fade away...

    Do you eat the watercress sprigs that are sometimes served with meals as garnish? I have, but it didn't have much of a taste. Maybe Uncle's taste-buds can't detect cabbage. If so, he should put a big squirt of hawaiian sriracha sauce on it.

    I've never seen watercress as a garnish. I often eat the parsley
    garnish.

    The Only Answer Is Christ...!!!

    Pride must be broken. Sin must be confessed. The only hope for this
    world is Jesus Christ...

    TODAY, instead of focusing on what the world is doing, why not make it a
    time for outreach? What if we used this time to share the gospel more
    than ever before?

    The world exalts pride. But we exalt Christ...

    Which side will you stand on...???

    When I told a friend how bad the food had been during my last hospital
    stay he said it was intentional, that they don't want people to like the
    food so they will prefer get home and get a decent meal. I might have
    thought it was a bit of a conspiracy thing except the guy is a doctor
    and has privileges at that same hospital.

    I had that done a couple times. It was about four years ago and my heart
    had been racing for days. Their plan was to give me one zap to stop my
    heart and then a second one to restart it. They knocked me out (mostly)
    to do it. It wasn't bad. The bad part was the eosophical cardiogram to
    check for clots before they did it. I had to start by gargling a numbing
    liquid for two minutes. That numbed me enough for them to stick a spray
    tube of another numbing liquid, a couple minutes for that to work before
    they shoved a longer spray tube down. A minute for that to work and
    then I had to swallow something on the end of a rubber hose as they fed
    it down. They shot their image and gave the OK. The anesthetist then
    shot something he called the Michael Jackson drug into me. The lights
    went out for what seemed like a second and I snapped right back. It
    hadn't completely done the job so they put me out for a second while
    they did a second one. That one I felt, and it worked.

    That can be a nuisance in a number of ways. Not only does it screw up a
    holiday weekend but it can mean a longer stay. After my bypass I was set
    to go but I had to have sessions with a number of people, like the
    pharmacist, a dietitian and the thrombosis department, but it was
    Remembrance Day and some of them had the day off.

    Good luck Graham!  Don got out of the hospital Tuesday.  All he could
    address on the food was it was a good beef broth,  He still has little
    appetite but I made a basic chicken salad and he had some on crackers
    with a few grapes today for lunch,

    Make him some tapioca pudding, good old fish eyes and glue. It is the ultimate comfort food.

    I had some the other day! I've always liked it even as a child when the
    other kids at my elementary school lunchtimes were complaining.

    I am glad we have that. I know a few people who have exited that way and avoided slow painful deaths. For years and years we could take our
    ailing pets to the vet and have them put down humanely but we insisted
    on forcing humans to suffer to the very end.

    31 So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. 32 But
    now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book
    you have written.”

    33 The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot
    out of my book. 34 Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and
    my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to
    punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

    We could hire Mr. Hank Rogers to be our business manager... we could get

    Those look too 'orange' to be pears.
    Is it a special Hawaiian cultivar?


    It looks like mango to me.

    Yeah, that does look like mango. I've never seen a pear that shade of
    orange.

    Contains cheap oil and the mysterious "Natural Flavor". Very speshial!

    Kewpie does taste more eggy than most supermarket mayos. For that
    reason, I don't find it as versatile as other mayos. It's probably
    down to what you're used to.

    Most certainly!!

    Having said that, when the time comes I envy you the
    MAID option in Canada. Still not available in UK.

    Why is the UK behind with that? The Netherlands has had it since 2002.

    Dr Harold Shipman cast a long shadow here, (murdered
    hundreds of patients)and many fear that MAID could lead to
    similar abuse of the most vulnerable. MAID has only just
    started crawling through the legislative processes (in
    Westminster and Holyrood Parliaments People are still
    arguing about whether patient choice is "murder " or
    "assisted suicide".

    Even seeking assisted death in a country where it's
    legal,is still risky.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-63599107

    "A retired NHS worker spent 19 hours in custody and was
    investigated by police for six months for chaperoning a
    woman to her assisted death in Switzerland.

    Sue Lawford went with Sharon Johnston, who was in a
    wheelchair after a fall left her paralysed, to Dignitas
    from her home in mid Wales.

    The 70-year-old said police, who arrested her the day
    after returning from Switzerland, were "aggressive".

    Dyfed-Powys Police said assisting a suicide was a criminal
    offence.

    The force said a "thorough criminal investigation" was
    required to establish the facts but added that the case
    has been closed and no-one will face charges."

    No I'm not. Its not available to us. To qualify for
    MAID in Canada, individuals must be Canadian citizens and
    eligible for government-funded health services. This
    generally means having a permanent resident status in
    Canada.

    The risk is to any Brit who takes their friend/loved
    one to Switzerland for MAID. The risk is prosecution by
    UK police when they return, for the criminal offence of
    assisting a death.

    <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxvjvep2w1o>

    " 27 November 2024

    The family of a terminally ill woman who took her own life
    at Dignitas have spoken of the stress and worry they
    experienced trying to keep the plan a secret to avoid
    prosecution.

    David, from Berkshire, accompanied his wife Alison to the
    assisted dying clinic in Switzerland in February 2023.

    At present, laws throughout the UK prevent people from
    asking for medical help to die. Those who assist someone
    to end their life face up to 14 years in prison.".

    AFAIK, the only country that offers MAID to non-resident
    visitors, is Switzerland.

    That is not true, and you damn well know it. It was neutral, and gave no preference for any religion. Besides, the founding fathers were not

    America was founded as Judeo-Christian nation...

    That is not true, and you damn well know it. It was neutral, and gave no preference for any religion. Besides, the founding fathers were not
    jews, nor christians. They were almost all deists.

    Wrong, Mike...!!!

    The most well-known sentence of the Declaration of Independence states,
    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
    equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
    Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
    Happiness.”...

    This sentence is a ***direct*** appeal to God that the King of England
    has stepped outside the boundaries of his “divine right” to rule, and
    they are invoking the name of ***God*** in order to legally accuse the
    King...

    So, as can be seen in the Declaration of Independence and the structure
    of the British government, the Founding Fathers appealed to God as a
    form of higher authority for their freedoms and inalienable rights...

    By stating this in the Declaration, it is clear PROOF that they
    recognized God as an invaluable part of the founding of this country...

    John Adams, a Founding Father and President of the United States,
    stated, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious
    people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”...

    This is true because our Constitution (as well as the Declaration of Independence) was crafted BY a religious people FOR a religious
    people...



    You do a much better job at parroting trump's many lies. You should
    stick to what you do best.

    Good luck Graham! Don got out of the hospital Tuesday. All he
    could address on the food was it was a good beef broth, He still
    has little appetite but I made a basic chicken salad and he had
    some on crackers with a few grapes today for lunch,

    Make him some tapioca pudding, good old fish eyes and glue. It is the ultimate comfort food.

    Ick! Neither Don nor I like tapioca. Sorry, but pass!

    Fox NOOZE:

    Trump claims Canada 'considering' offer of free Golden Dome in exchange
    for becoming 51st state

    "U.S. President Donald Trump purported on Tuesday that Canada was
    "considering" giving up its statehood in exchange for protection by the proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system at no cost, despite
    Canadian officials repeatedly stating that the country is not for
    sale...

    "I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden
    Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a
    separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become
    our cherished 51st State," Trump wrote on Truth Social...

    "They are considering the offer!" he claimed...."

    We almost had breakfast for supper. My wife had had a busy that started
    off with a trip to the hairdresser in the morning and then driving a
    long way to meet her friends for lunch in Niagara on the Lake. She had a
    flat tire on the way. One of her friends picked her up to take her to
    lunch and she left the car there until later. After lunch two of the
    friends took her keys and CAA card and waited for the tow truck to come
    and change her tire.

    After a big lunch and frustrating day she was ready to settle for bacon
    and eggs. I talked her into take out Thai food. There is a fairly new
    Thai restaurant I had not been to until yesterday when I ordered fresh
    rolls for lunch and they were pretty good. She was easily persuaded.
    She ordered red curry with beef and I ordered Panang curry with chicken.
    That is the first restaurant made Panang curry for me. I have been
    spoiled and cannot make it myself anymore

    My neighbor brought me a decent quantity of fresh tomatoes

    The recipe I use from the internet is really, really
    good! Campbell's tomato soup moved into what I
    would term an ice cream topping it was so darn sweet.

    I can use either canned or fresh tomatoes, but a bit
    of roasting, about 20 minutes, in the oven is
    recommended for the fresh ones.

    I wish I knew why Campbell's decided to go that route with their tomato
    soup. The stuff I recall from childhood (usually with a grilled cheese sandwich) wasn't sickly sweet.

    I can use either canned or fresh tomatoes, but a bit

    I'd roast the fresh tomatoes, for sure.

    I wish I knew why Campbell's decided to go that route with their tomato
    soup. The stuff I recall from childhood (usually with a grilled cheese >sandwich) wasn't sickly sweet.

    They picked up 10 people from the street and made them say which of 5 increasingly sweet soups they preferred. They all picked the sweetest
    one and Campbell's knew enough. They gave the 10 people a free ticket
    to the latest Star Wars movie and sent them on their way.

    I can use either canned or fresh tomatoes, but a bit

    recommended for the fresh ones.

    I don't eat tomato soup but I like this new can. Not enough to buy a can though.

    I had a friend who gave me about twenty-five pounds of fresh tomatoes,
    once. I scalded them, ice bathed them, skinned them and they were ready
    for anything else I might want to do, including soup. It was quite easy.
    OTOH, I wouldn't do it now. :(

    That combination in a can sounds stomach lurching and the

    The can design looks like it's from the 50's - that's pretty cool. I'm
    not too interested in tomato soup but the addition of cheese flavor
    would probably be an improvement.

    I concur, Joan. I can't say I've ever seen "grilled cheese & tomato"
    soup in a can, then again I haven't looked for it. Campbell's tomato
    soup back in the day used to be pretty good until some idiot decided it
    needed to be sweet. I realize tomatoes are acidic but they took it too far.

    It's just in the last several weeks or few months I've seen
    this concoction online, but haven't looked for it in any
    stores.

    Once or twice before giving up on Campbell's tomato soup
    I added a bit extra salt and a squeeze of lemon juice in
    hopes of cutting the sugar and give it a hint of acidity.
    Failure, of course, which happily led me to a most
    satisfying homemade version.

    I've never made tomato soup, that's typically the only soup I buy
    canned. Campbell's is way too sweet, I agree. I usually buy the store
    brand here. If you'd like to share the tomato soup recipe, I'll save it.

    you can use a small can of tomato paste instead of the
    soup. it's not hard to make. unfortunately finding a
    good brand of tomato paste might now be more of a
    challenge.

    That is always a question with tomato products. I lost interest in
    ketchup over the years. I remember it being thick and rich and tasty but
    these days it is runny and way to sweet. If I ate more I might try
    making it. Instead, I kept my eye out for better quality ketchup and
    last year I found one, Twisted Tomato Gourmet Ketchup. At $7 for a small
    bottle it is not cheap. It is packed with flavour so a little goes a
    long way. Since I don't use much ketchup it sure isn't going to break
    the bank for me. We bought some around the end of last summer and I am
    still working on that first bottle. There is some left but I don't want
    to use it up until I get a new one and the place where I bought it is
    out of stock. They still carry it but are waiting for a new shipment.

    Tomato paste should be something of a no-brainer. It's concentrated
    tomatoes, typically with citric acid added to adjust the pH. Even
    Hunt's doesn't add sugar or salt.

    one that doesn't have a lot of additives.

    For the last year or so I have been buying Italian tomatoes. They are

    Wasn't there a scandal a couple of years ago when cans of tomatoes
    from an Italian company were actually Chinese?

    I saw a program about the conditions canning tomato pickers in Italy
    are living in. They tend to be illegal black Africans, are put in
    leaky shacks with 10 at a time. All they own is a flea invested
    mattress and the pittance they're paid by their Italian Mafia bosses.

    Americans are always bitching about the French but they love their
    Italians. Strange, huh?

    Wasn't there a scandal a couple of years ago when cans of tomatoes
    from an Italian company were actually Chinese?

    I's a little more insidious than just counterfeiting tomatoes. Chinese
    tomatoes had been barred from import into the US because of reports of
    slave labour. A BBC investigation found that a number of stores in the
    UL and Germany were selling tomato sauce and paste that had been made
    with Chinese tomatoes.

    exactly, but how much of that was verified as true?

    the basic problem is that cellulose or other additives
    like sea salt or calcium can pretty much appear to be
    natural to various tests.

    without verified chain of custody tracking this sort of
    issue is nearly impossible to resolve.

    my own response to much of this sort of manipulation is
    to grow things if possible.

    And people say that I'm being difficult about ingredients.

    My response is to just not worry about it. Cellulose, sea salt,
    and calcium chloride are benign.

    They typically add calcium chloride only to canned diced tomatoes;
    it would be an unnecessary and counterproductive expense for
    paste, sauce, and puree.

    "A new study shows!" My cynical response is to always ignore that.
    I have it, on good authority, that strychnine, arsenic and rattlesnake
    bites can cause death, regardless of whether a slave delivers the means.

    You can always check things out and get the truth if you search to find
    out what RFK says about stuff.

    Damn, I thought you'd be smart enuff to know that.
