Worth it, then. How long did that take, couple days?
The whole trip was about 2+ weeks, IIRC. Connie, me, and Sam the dog
(German
Yeah; I was referring to the ferry portion of the
trip. Figured the whole thing took quite a bit longer.
Shepherd Black Labrador mix) in the back seat of the Lancia. The cat had jumped the ship somewhere outside of Bozeman Montana. We spent hours
looking
for it. Drove several hours and stopped for the night. The next
morning she
got back from driving back to look some more. No luck with newspaper
ads and
reward offers. Connie managed to last a week, once we got here, before she went to the slammer and got another.
Couldn't live katzenrein for very long, could she.
What does one do for feline companionship in Muldoon?
A fortuitous accident, er, happening.
It was almost a joke on my part. Connie was under strict instructions
to call
her dad, collect, nightly and inform him of where we were (I still
really think
he had a map with pins in it). And as I said, with a name like that...
True enough, but was it even on his map?
Yeah, but better two easier days than piling it on.
The run from Banff to Jasper is up the Canadian Rockies, a couple of
National
Parks are in the way also, very, very scenic.
I thought of doing that with Lilli once, but
extended auto trips look less likely - I've
mapped out a route back to Paris from Toulouse
that takes three days - I figure that's good
enough for our attention span and endurance.
They're not returning the favo(u)r - #BuyCanadian .
When I worked for the Comptroller out at Elemendorf I took the computer and warped the Cost of Living numbers to show that the Canadian forces should actually get an increase in their allowance, instead of the reduction
they were
to get. It's actually pretty common to see rented RV's out of Canada
on the
roads around here. But then again Condor does do the Frankfurt ->
Whitehorse
Anchorage -> Frankfurt route, and a lot of Germans get off in
Whitehorse to
tour the Yukon and then head over to Alaska (spending months on their
trip).
The last time we drug the RV up we were sitting in a RV park in Dawson
Creek
surrounded by a bevy of Belgians driving rented RV's. About 18 of
them, cloned
RV's, out of Calgary with their minders leading and following. They were slowly making their way to Dawson City and then a ferry ride over to
Alaska.
It was spring and I do know the Yukon River was still frozen over, so I
don't
know how they did. The guy who owned the RV park in Watson Lake was
waiting
for them to show up, when we left.
You've pointed out bunches of rented RVs, but if that
traffic is in any way tied to that Condor route, won't
there be a buildup of surplus equipment in Anchorage?
For some reason my initial skim made me read "pork
and squid with dairy sauce," unlikely to be part of
Jewish tradition.
Jewish! Who cares about that! With squid in it did you really expect
me to
eat that? But as I told you once, when I was a kid in Hawaii we used
to get a
dried/salted octosquid tentacle to gnaw on while walking around.
Yah, the reference in the earlier post was to pasta
squares with dairy sauce, a Jewish dish. Obviously
my subconscious preferred the idea of pork and squid.
Ate a lot of this recently, OK in January/February, plus I'm listening
to the
radio.
Title: Kalua Pork
Today's recipe theme, misinterpretations of
this worthy but salty dish.
... Boneless skinless chicken, 2 for a quarter, 3 for 50cents.
Rationalized by rationing.
Kahlua Pork Chops
categories: main, fake Hawaiian
servings: 6
2 ts Olive Oil
6 Pork Chops
2 ts Brown Sugar
1 ts Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 c Kahlua
1/3 c Pineapple Juice
1 c Pineapple (chunks)
1/4 c Pecans (chopped)
Place pork chops in pan with heated olive oil and brown.
Mix all liquid ingredients in a bowl, then add to
cooking pork chops.
Add pineapple and pecans. Cook for about 20 min until
sauce thickens somewhat (or to preference).
(Note those whose religious observances might forbid
the drinking of alcohol: There is a common concept
prevalent that alcohol used in food preparation is
burned off when cooked. This is true but only
partially so. In truth, according to Chow.com, even
though alcohol has a lower boiling temperature than
water and will burn off, not all alcohol is eliminated
simply by applying heat. They cite a 2003 study by the
USDA’s Nutrient Data Laboratory that showed that the
amount of alcohol retained in a cooked dish depends on
the method by which it is cooked. Baking seems to
release for alcohol, leaving about 5 percent on average.
Other methods of cooking give the alcohol retention a
range up to 85 percent. With Kahlua Pork Chops, since
alcohol is part of a boiling mixture, the content can
be as high as 85 percent of its original content level.)
M's note - this is a load of bull.
So fix some mashed potatoes with chives and a leafy
salad to go with your Kahlua Pork Chops. Then, to top
off the celebration, make yourself a Kahlua Coffee.
