Next question. When was the last time you saw a
crank phone? I've seen some, over 50 years ago, but
They might have had one at the Vermont Country Store (Weston branch)
but > I don't remember for sure or not. We didn't go up there this
year so my > memory isn't fresh on that.
That doesn't count anyway! We've seen all sorts of
stuff in museums and curio collections.
I know, but you weren't that specific with your question so my answer
should have been acceptable.
Context is fairly important in this world.
Depends - if all the calls were routed through Central,
someone hired for the night shift might welcome some
excitement or a change of pace.
Where I grew up, we didn't get dial phones until I was in 4th , maybe
5th grade. I remember the phone company building, think we toured it in
maybe first or second grade but I don't recall what they said about operators. it's possible they had some sort of work at home set up for
the night time hours.
I seriously doubt it, as work-at-home was looked at
very suspiciously until recently.
Correction--it's the standings/results of last few days I look at.
Box
Ah. All that matters is that they make the playoffs,
that sort of thing?
Basically, and they're not in contention yet but were on a winning
streak until yesterday.
Ah. I care little about any sports team except the Yankees,
who I wish would just cease to exist. Red Sox and Mets,
maybe I care about them more than other teams, but that's
really not very much.
actual sports write ups. Had a few stories about upcoming college football season & the local teams involved but that's neither human interest or write ups of sporting events.
Nope, not human or any other kind of interest!
Not really. Don't really want to have to go on line for other stories
but that's the way most print is going these days--a big on line
presence and a very thin hard copy. I've noticed that in magazines as
well as newspapers.
It was a shock to be given a Newsweek and find that the
paper was thin, the content was thin, and the magazine
itself was thin.
Probably so, and you would probably find some interesting recipies
in > the collections. Fun part would be figuring out obscure measurements and > instructions, maybe a few ingredients also.
I'd not be so thrilled by the recipes, were there
such. Mrs. Beeton might interest, maybe.
Maybe so--good way to spend some time if you've nothing else to do.
Short explanation: Godey's Ladies' Book didn't offer recipes
better than Real Simple or the equivalent.
the taverns are long gone.
With others to take their place, certainly.
No, the college is sponsored/supported by the Wesleyan Church. Nearest watering holes are several miles away.
So was the college built near razed taverns, or what?
So far, no need. It would be interesting to visit the city but it's
not > very high on my bucket list.
Some of us have no bucket list.
I don't have one as such but there are some things I'd like to do before
I get too old and decrepit. Going back to Germany for one, hitting up
Italy on the same trip would be nice.
Mmm - a worthwhile bucket list.
(It was Google Hang Outs we used.) We have the daughters and
I'd not even heard of Google Hang Outs until reading this.
Better Hang Outs than hang ups. (G) Did you check it out?
No - never checked it out, and it sounds silly to me.
Steve's parents > gave up using the computer some years some years
ago, kept it until
their latest move. I'm not sure what they did with it.
Great, I'm of the older generation now.
I think most of us here are.
But I'm less connected than even most of the people on
this echo. I don't really mind this condition.
The fact that it had chard in it at all should have
been a tipoff.
The chard was a side dish. First time I'd ever used it, but have
cooked > it many times since then.
My recipe for duck with chard. Cook duck. Discard chard and
any accompanying zucchini.
They're both veggies we eat. IIRC, the card was stir fried/wilted in the
duch fat briefly, then served. I'd have to find the recipe to know for
sure tho.
I served beet greens to some guests recently. The good
news is that they didn't die.

Title: Vegetable Lasagne
Categories: Vegetarian, vegan, wwtt
Yield: 8 servings
9 Lasagne noodles 1/2 ts Salt
-(OR as much as needed) 1 ts Thyme
1 lb Tofu 1 ts Basil
1/2 c Tomato paste (or sauce) 3 tb Canola oil
1 -to: 3 sm Onions; -OR-
2 c Tomato sauce 1 lb Mushrooms
-(as much as desired) 3 Celery stalks
1 bn Chard (or spinach) 1 1/2 c Cauliflower
3 tb Nutritional yeast
Mash up the tofu in a bowl and add salt, nutritional yeast, spices,
tomato
paste. Chop the celery, caulflower, and onion finely and saute in oil.
When mostly cooked add the mushrooms, sliced. When the mushrooms are
done,
add the vegetables to the tofu and mix well.
Cook the lasagne noodles in water until done. This can be done
beforehand
to save time. Grease your casserole pan lightly with some oil to help
prevent sticking. Place a layer of noodles down and spoon some tomato
sauce over it. Put a layer of tofu/veggies down.
Saute the chard (or spinach) in a pan with just a little bit of oil. When
completely cooked down and soft, add half to the lasagne, spreading
evenly
over the layer. Add more sauce then noodles, then tofu than another
layer
of chard. Top with more sauce, more noodles and a large amount of sauce
(to prevent any burning or drying out of the noodles when they're
cooked).
Preheat oven to about 350 or 375 and cook roughly 35 minutes, or until
bubbly and hot. SERVE! I guarantee it'll be among the best lasagne
you've
ever had....
