I got another top round and rendered the fat cap
for grease, had 4 servings of stir-fry, and made
a quart of chili with the rest. If I'd been so
inclined, the fat was of high quality and would
have done fine for Yorkshires.
Had you been so inclined.... :) But you did do well with it as it
was... :)
My standard use for clear animal fat is as cooking grease. If
it has too much brown junk in it, it usually goes for gravy
as I'm too cheap and too impatient to strain it.
My first house at college was Dunster House, which was the
repository of the rebels (acting-out pranksters, drinkers,
drug-takers, athletes need not apply) and misfits (would have
been programmers and such only that wasn't really a viable
profession back then), so we were called the Funsters and
could have been the Punsters.
How did you end up there?
It's a supposed lottery system; of ten or a dozen houses,
you rank order a top four; my first choice was Kirkland,
known as a haven for academics, artistic types, homosexuals,
and so on; it also had a really charming library, which
endeared it to me. My second choices were Adams and Quincy,
more havens for academia but fashionable ones. Fourth was
Dunster. I always wondered why I didn't get my first choice,
one of the least popular houses.
... Some days, the only good things on TV are the vase and the clock.
Speaking of wordplay.
And wordplay can be fun... ;)
Until it gets to be wordwork.
That's when I bow out... ;0
Sometimes the exchanges get labored.
It's become a mainstream treatment, as it's been
proven at least as effective in many cases with way
fewer side effects.
That is how fringey stuff does become mainstream... :)
So seldom. Like homeopathy and its rather nasty
fellow travellers, which are just about always a
bunch of boolsheeyit.
topically for the post-herpatic neuralgia in my back... gabapentin and before that amitriptyline gave me issues, and I wasn't willing to take
Well, the gaba stuff was what killed my father.
Lisinipril was almost that bad for my friend... she had pretty nasty
side effects when it was prescribed for hypertension (which she might
not actually even have)... she only took 3 or 4 doses, interspersed with
not taking it, had the problems each time she took it, got better in between... had she continued, it would have been bad... hopefully she
won't be in a position later in life when it gets given her and she not
be in a position to override...
Have her list it under "allergies," even if it may not be
strictly that - I put statins down under that heading
You know those cans of writing implements that they
display in doctor offices so you can fill out those
irritating history and insurance forms? That's what I
read your mention of that drug as ... grab a pen tin.
Interesting read... :)
As I said, it killed my father. I guess I don't like
even the looks of the word.
My parents used to put Caladryl (calamine + Benadryl) on
my bug bites when they got too torturesome (the mosquitoes
loved me even when I was a wee tyke, despite my being B+),
but mostly the diphenhydramine has been an internal medicine.
Yup, mine was in the form of calamine also mostly, and often for poison
ivy itch....
Mine, then as ever, was mostly bug bites. Still never
had poison ivy despite having waded through it many
times, mostly in search of berries.
Imodium, well, if you did any kind of exotic travel, believe
me, you'd want it around.
Only if it made any difference... :)
As it paralyzes your intestinal motility, it should
work for pretty much anything along those lines. I did
wonder if keeping the amoebae and things in contact with
your own cells longer would increase the effects of the
various diseases, but apparently that's not the case.
Which reminds me to start shopping for hotel and air
for the annual Singapore trip.
When does that happen...?
MLK weekend, so third week in January.
So a ways yet, but not too early to start planing... :)
And looking at the fares, complaining.
Oops, lost an "n" there... Fares aren't cooperating with you, I guess...
When coach fares are within a couple hundred of business
fares, it's tempting to blow one's yearly budget in half
a year.
I could have said, I'll trade you my done to sand chicken
breast for your raw beef, but she folded it in a napkin
and said she'd recook it at home.
Oh, well..... hopefully she enjoyed it later... :)
One hopes, but I suspect her to be someone who, like
Bonnie, would discreetly tip it into the bin when
nobody was looking.
If she was just planning to bin it, she should have let you have it. ;)
Should and does are not necessarily one and the same.
... The OPTIMIST sees the doughnut. The PESSIMIST sees the hole.
And the realist sees the whole, too.
Yup... :)
