• 155 moronic was oxymoronic

    No one thinks my car will go fast enough to bother checking it!
    Putt ... putt ... putt.
    I used to have one named Putt. For good reason.

    Drive you away, eh. Par for the course.

    Especially as I love fat and will greedily
    shove oily pasta down my gullet. One way to
    starve me would be to serve me fat-free pasta.
    I can eat it that way, but it almost has to be whole wheat. Then it
    has some taste.

    To me whole wheat pasta is worse than no pasta
    at all. Not least because it seemt to come
    pre-rancidized.

    Little Rhody, we were talking about the recent good
    reliability of the electric service; I attributed this
    to the large influx of women into public service and
    politics, plus the wish of the power company to appear
    to keep its nose clean, so it can further its own
    wind power and other agendas.
    In the old days they couldn't cut the trees back either. One massive state-wide outage too many put paid to that. It's been a while since
    a real outage.

    Oddly, PEPCO, which was responsible for DC-area
    electricity, had frequent outages due to exploding
    transformers.

    So I had dinner with a member of the planning board and
    also the mother of one of that board's pet experts. The
    corruption and incompetency stories kept people in
    stitches all evening.
    That's good for dinner, and lousy for anyone living with the
    consequences.

    The stories were good for dinner and didn't affect those
    living with the consequences.

    Why bother when Fenway Park is an hour by train.
    True ... and they have usable train service.
    You do as well, but only from the coastal corridor.
    Like I said.

    As I recall, the Connecticut Valley had extensive
    flagstop service at one point with changes at New
    Haven for either Boston or New York.

    Two of my less favorite items in one bite - raw tomato and
    avocado.
    It was listed as a Rhode Island recipe, so it's fitting.
    The author of that recipe was a Brown student.
    Figures!

    An Italian Brown student, not a brown student.

    Long Island cafe au lait
    categories: booze, dessert, Rhode Islander, mine, diabetogenic, brown
    servings: 1

    2 parts dark rum
    1 part maple syrup
    1 part light or whipping cream

    Combine over ice. If you want it really to
    taste like cafe au lait, halve the rum,
    but that makes a less successful drink.

    Shanked itself into the weeds years ago, thankfully.

    Some aren't that tasty, but sometimes it's good.

    Lousy maintenance from the sounds of 'er. BOOM generally means
    moisture got in there. Or a squirrel. Or some politicians. I'm not
    sure why politicians would do the trick, but it's the DC area.

    Just as well. I just hope there weren't consequences from dinner.

    Sort of. Used to.

    It's a loony left recipe, so the color of the student isn't relevant.
    (except I've never heard of Black folk locally eating too many
    avocados, never mind avocado salad.)
