• 788 The 2018 picnic

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to SHAWN HIGHFIELD on Friday, May 25, 2018 07:18:54
    Cleaning up the house I found my brother's
    childhood passport; it had stamps in it. His
    more recent passports did not have stamps. I
    recommend going out there and getting stamps,
    even if crossing the US-Can border may no
    longer give you one - my current passport has
    5 fewer stamps than customs crossings.
    I plan on it! I'm still 2.5 years away from having any
    spending money but I can see the end!

    Usually when people say that kind of thing it's
    putting oneself or one's kids through college,
    either that or a divorce settlement. In either
    case, condolences, but there's light at the end
    of the tunnel. What's the chance you could make
    it to this echo picnic, which as you have seen
    is scheduled to be in central New York state?

    Title: Vegetable Burgers
    Categories: Vegetarian
    Sure is a lot of work when you could just use ground beef and an egg eh?

    That's so, but there are those who for health or
    ethical reasons eat veggie burgers. It's not up
    to me to judge their predilections, but ugh,
    speaking for myself.

    Title: Stuffed Eggs (Russian Style)
    1.00 Can cod livers

    How appetizing. I think, the strength of the
    flavor requires that you use at most 0.500 cans
    of cod liver (which actually doesn't taste all
    that bad).

    Divorce, and a business loan that is not realistic. :)

    This is about 85% right now! I started the process for the
    passport, I'm ahead of repairs on the taxi's. I am quite positive
    that I'm going to be able to make it!

    I really like cod liver, and I make these often. Even my ex who doesn't
    like liver will eat these. (She doesn't know it's cod liver I just say
    "canned fish".)
