oil in your hair.
At least not by accident.
They used to use bear grease at one point, but not engine oil.
I don't know which would be more disgusting.
Do I want to smell like a grease monkey or a
chunk of rancid crackling?
At least not on purpose. I've heard of creosote
treatments for hair but not motor oil treatments.
...and if I remember correctly those had to do with psoriasis or head lice or something. Coal tar was used for some skin problems too, back when.
Is there much of a difference between creosote
and coal tar?
have bubbled up into the sink.
Organics, shall we say.
Which would happen only if the systems were
cross-plumbed for some reason, which I believe
would be a building code violation, and those
never happen. Right?
Never ever. No builder ever decided to save money that way.
What, never? No, never. What, never? Well,
hardly ever.
These days my voice is often not much more than
a squeak.
You now officially sound like my cat?
I can change my tone or my tune, admittedly
with some effort.
Legislators shouldn't get overtime. Maybe the
clerks and reporters do, given that they do actual
work.
On the other hand, they write the rules and set their own salaries.
But legislating in overtime would be beyond
the pale, too egregious even for legislators.
Clean Dave wrote about a family that had mashed
rutabaga at Thanksgiving - it was kind of touching.
We have creamed onions; my brother in law thinks we're kind of
touched.
Nothing wrong with creamed onions, especially
if made with aged Cheddar or real cream.
Sounds better than the average. By tradition ours are the ones Grandma
made, boilers in a white sauce without the fancy ingredients. Like salt and pepper.
Purity of flavors, eh.

Creamed onions
cat: side
servings: 12
5 Tb butter
2 c breadcrumbs
1 c sharp Cheddar; grated
2 c white sauce
;salt & pepper
nutmeg; optional
thyme; optional
2 lb pearl onions; peeled, parboiled
All measures are to taste and approximate.
Melt butter and toss crumbs in it.
Stir cheese into sauce, seasoning ad lib.
Layer in a buttered large flattish baking pan: a thin layer
of crumbs, half the onions, half the sauce, most of the crumbs,
the rest of the onions, the rest of the sauce, the rest of
the crumbs. Bake, lightly covered, at 300 until almost
dinnertime. Uncover, raise heat to 400, and bake until top
is golden brown.
