Poor design or hotter than normal temperatures. People give off about
350 BTU per hour, higher if very active.

You don't want a cow in the restaurant. They give off roughly 5,000 to

It's 5:40 and we are getting ready to start cooking. I have a small rack
of lamb and I am trying something new. I have been marinating it since
about 9 am using a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt,
pepper, rosemary and oregano. The plan is to heat up the gas grill and
to cook it top and bottom for 4 minutes each, then slide it over and
cook it offset for 20 minutes, take it off and let it sit for 10 minutes
or so. It is a beautiful sunny say here and we will be cooking and
eating on the patio.

It is actually pretty easy to screw up scrambled eggs. You have to
realize that a lot of people have such low standards for scrambled eggs
that they are willing to accept just about anything as long as the eggs
are cooked. I am particular about scrambled eggs and to them over medium

We had leftover asparagus from last night. I partially toasted some
bread and sliced up some Cheddar cheese, laid it on the half toast, put
the asparagus on top and then back into the air fryer until the cheese
was melted. Wonderful.

Food service establishments can get pre-cooked, pre-portioned,
frozen scrambled eggs. Or pre-seasoned and stabilized boil-in-bag
scrambled eggs. Or cartons of liquid eggs, with or without
seasonings and stabilizers. And, of course, the ever-popular (!)
powdered eggs.

Food service establishments can get pre-cooked, pre-portioned,

scrambled eggs. Or cartons of liquid eggs, with or without
seasonings and stabilizers. And, of course, the ever-popular (!)
powdered eggs.
I don't know it these are powdered or liquid, but they are not fresh eggs.
This morning was cheese omelet. Just as nasty as the others. Cinnamon coffee cake was tolerable and I managed to eat half. Would be better

Actually, I read a bit more about it and there's no problem with sweet
corn at all. I find it unusual that Americans are so crazy about it,
but it's not unhealthy or anything. White rice is worse, is an empty
carb and, in excess, can contribute to diabetes.

The problem is, few people use sweet corn as a carb. They eat
it as a vegetable and have an additional carb.

Red beans & rice to which I added 1/2 lb. of diced andouille sausage. I baked a skillet of cornbread to go with it. Leftovers to take for lunch

Of course I don't think he's worried about it. He did say he was
finally educated about sweet corn. I posted a link a while back about
how many Australians eat corn, and yes, he discovered it's sweet corn.
He responded upthread, "Actually, I read a bit more about it and there's
no problem with sweet corn at all. I find it unusual that Americans are
so crazy about it, but it's not unhealthy or anything."
How about people eat it because sweet corn tastes good? He's been
moaning about North Americans eating corn that tastes good for years;
turns out they eat it his country, too. Damn.

It does need to be fresh. As kids, we had a
backyard garden. When corn was on the menu,
my Mom would get a pot up to a rolling boil,
and then we would all go out to the garden
and each pick an ear of corn, then *run*
while husking to drop it into the pot.
Perhaps a bit melodramatic, but still.
BTW, corn husks are every bit as
slippery as banana peels.

I'm confident you'll be saddened to learn that annual fresh sweet
corn consumption per capita in the U.S. has decreased from about
9.2 pounds at the beginning of the century to about 4.9 pounds.

Quite a workout this morning. They estimate me leaving 7/13.
The hard part, for six weeks I cannot put any weight on my left leg.
I'll use a walker and one leg. It is not easy supporting yourself on
your arms to take a step. I could use a wheelchair for part of the day.
Picture making a cup of tea or frying an egg either way. From a chair, reach is limited, from the walker, carrying/moving things will be
difficult.
There are many people with greater restrictions for life. Mine is temporary.

Quite a workout this morning. They estimate me leaving 7/13.
The hard part, for six weeks I cannot put any weight on my left leg.
I'll use a walker and one leg. It is not easy supporting yourself on
your arms to take a step. I could use a wheelchair for part of the day.
Picture making a cup of tea or frying an egg either way. From a
chair, reach is limited, from the walker, carrying/moving things will
be difficult.
There are many people with greater restrictions for life. Mine is
temporary.
I know it is a drag being in the hospital but look at the bright side.
When your law suit goes to trial it is not going to look good for the
other driver that you spent more than three weeks in the hospital.
Back when I was working we had to take annual use of force training. I
said that if any of my clientele punched me in the head I was going down
and planned to enjoy living on workman's comp for as long as I could.
Having to be off work for a year would not look good at the guy's
sentencing.

Was it confirmed that the woman who hit you had a medical episode?

When dealing with personal injury lawyers it might be a good idea to
hire a second lawyer to keep an eye on the other.
