    Old Faithful is neither so faithful nor so fancy as
    it was in the olden days. I've never seen it or any
    other big geysers. The hot water features I've seen,
    spewing and nonspewing both, have been to me "Next!"
    Some years ago an earthquake disrupted the "faithfulness" of Old
    Faithful. There's supposed to be a more impressive geyser in the park
    but it's not as reliable and harder to access.

    I've heard so, but as my current condition pretty
    much precludes extensive backcountry walking, and as
    my current hiking shoes have meltable soles, it's not
    likely I'll see it.

    Hilton Head Island is a master of disguising the outside of fast
    food > places so they don't look like what's seen off island. Inside, the food > is served the same way as off island tho.
    I've seen several such attempts, like the one with the
    blue arches (in or around Sedona, I think) and what was
    at one time reputed to be the only one in the world
    with no arches at all (I forget where).
    No arches could be the HHI one. I don't remember if I saw any or not.

    Sometimes the arches are vestigial or even appear
    just on the sign.

    Very little goes out with me, except (usually) as a take out box.
    I don't take anything whose absence would be cared
    about.
    Not to worry. We took home some Lexington bbq on Tuesday--stopped at the camper dealership on the way home to set up a service appointment.
    Happend to be lunch time by the time we finished so.........

    I took 4 oz of steak back from the Hotel Bristol the
    other day, which was good, because there was little
    available in the waiting room for our domestic flight
    (no security).

    Yeah, but looking back just one step. It's
    decaying organic matter, either dying stuff or
    excreted stuff. Either way, best not to ponder
    the subject too much.
    No, so we'll let it be.
    As long as it's a clean, crisp fry, not a soggy one. Still, I'd
    rather > have the shrimp steamed, no breading so no carbs are added. There's little worse than a bready wet fry and so
    far as I'm concerned nothing better than a deft
    crisp not overdone fry.
    Sounds about right to me.
    yesterday, probably about 5 quarts of it. Got back not quite a cup,
    with > lots of positive comments.
    Good for you. I seldom do chili for anyone any
    more, because I generally get a two-pronged
    comment, i.e., tastes great, way too hot.
    We try for an even heat, all the way thru, and not so much a heat as a
    "glow" as I described it to one person at this event.

    I prefer pronounced heat for myself and quite
    severe heat for rice.

    I just might do this, one of these days.
    Choose your audience well. The recipe I posted
    seemed as if it would look too close to the
    real thing for comfort for many.
    Understandable. Just the name could be quite off putting to a lot of
    people.

    They just take things too litter-ally.

    Half Rooster (Halve Haan)
    categories: Westphalian, German, snack
    servings: 1

    1 Roggenbrÿtchen (rye roll)
    butter
    1 sl cheese
    mustard (extra hot)
    1 sl onion
    4 sl gherkin
    caraway
    paprika powder

    This is nothing other than a cheese sandwich (or
    more precisely a cheese "Brÿtchen"). The name is
    a play of words in the dialect of Cologne.

    Hi Michael,

    other big geysers. The hot water features I've seen,
    spewing and nonspewing both, have been to me "Next!"
    Some years ago an earthquake disrupted the "faithfulness" of Old Faithful. There's supposed to be a more impressive geyser in the
    park > but it's not as reliable and harder to access.

    I've heard so, but as my current condition pretty
    much precludes extensive backcountry walking, and as
    my current hiking shoes have meltable soles, it's not
    likely I'll see it.

    I'm not ready to do any major hiking either. They didn't give a location
    of the other geyser so guess they want it kept more of a secret, at
    least for now. Maybe hikers have seen it, but I never will.

    I've seen several such attempts, like the one with the
    blue arches (in or around Sedona, I think) and what was
    at one time reputed to be the only one in the world

    not.

    Just enough signage to let you know what's there.

    Good eating for both of us.

    We don't like heat that overpowers the flavor so have cut down on heat
    for heat's sake over the years.
