    [insert obligatory pitch for home ec
    classes here]
    Something I never had... except as taught/modeled by my parents...

    I posited before that one of society's functions is
    to protect those without common sense. Now I'll note
    that another is to remedy the shortcomings of moms and
    dads - not all parents do as well by their kids as
    yours apparently did.

    yesterday - she'd made a half recipe of that
    Al Sims' chili, i.e., half a huge kettleful,
    and I had to admonish her to at least freeze
    the leftovers for my next appearance - otherwise
    they would have been wasted ... one could have
    of course made a quarter or a sixth recipe, but
    that doesn't happen.
    One should be thankful she made a half...? And did she dutifully freeze
    the leftovers for you...? :)

    As it turns out, yes.

    You remembered correctly. She got fat on semi-vegetarian
    ... managing her weight nicely on keto/paleo.
    I have relatives on the keto diet, a couple of friends supposedly on paleo....

    I'm naturally keto, so that doesn't surprise me.

    It's getting so I don't really pay a lot of attention to any of them,
    with the standards fluctuating so widely... I'll eat what I want, pretty much, with some regard to common sense and what I know seems to work for me... ;)
    Remember that scene in Sleeper, where
    Woody Allen wakes up after centuries to
    find that everything that we had been
    warned against were later proven to be
    good for you, and vice versa?
    Yup. Something I keep in mind... ;)

    Remember polyunsaturates?

    Have been lately doing meats in the frypan rather than the oven...
    For two it makes sense, especially
    given you like rare meat.
    That's what I figured...

    Cooking for a crowd almost necessarily
    means more use of ovens and such things
    that jump out and hurt you.

    Where's the fun in cooking something
    not likely to exude juice and fat?
    Well I was first thinking about something like pizza... (G) The burgers
    do exude some juice and fat, as did the Italian sausage patties I
    broiled in the oven earlier this week.... but not so much as to spill
    over the lip....

    Either not enough food or not enough lusciousness!

    I know. I refer to it as "hamburger tongue", especially in cases where biting one's tongue is pretty much constant.... ;)
    Not a pretty image. How often do you hang
    out in such circles? Besides here, I mean.
    Often enough.... probably half my family (with a couple much more an
    issue than the rest)... certain church members.... At one point, also
    some of the aides etc for the people I was helping.... :)

    I wonder if I'd be one whom you might have
    to bite your tongue at sometimes.

    That started out as a fairly standard
    shape recipe. Are you telling me that
    Doc's adds or perhaps subtracts hard
    returns to/from online-subnitted
    messages?
    Possibly the lines were too long, so got wrapped... and when quoted
    might have further been mangled....

    The lines were apparently accepted by Meal-Master
    in the first place; what happens after isn't quite
    so important to me. It is a matter of modest
    curiosity though about whether entering messages
    in full-screen mode vs. windowed mode yields
    different carriage returns.

    Not sure what would turn people off more, calling it the brain, or
    calling it green goo... ;)
    It's not the brain, it's a digestive organ.
    Well, that has a similar potential, doesn't it... :)

    At least it's not an excretory organ, though
    I eat those, too.

    Longganisa
    categories: Filipino, pork, sausages
    yield: 1 batch

    Mixture of 30% ground beef and 70% ground pork
    h - For every 2.2 lb (1 kilo) of mixture, add
    1 ts ground pepper
    2 ts chopped garlic
    2 1/2 Tb salt
    1 1/2 Tb. sugar
    1 1/2 Tb soy sauce
    2 Ts vinegar
    2 Tb wine
    1/8 ts saltpeter
    sausage casings

    Mix all ingredients together and cure mixture for 5
    to 6 days in the refrigerator and stuff into casings.
    This kind of sausage should be stored in a cooler,
    ready for use.

    To cook
    With a small amount of water in a skillet. Place
    sausages and let boil for approximately 10 min. With
    a fork or knife, pierce casings. The longganisa is
    ready when juices flow out and turn into dark caramel
    color. The sausages should also turn the same color
    with some oil leaking out.

    Perfect for Sinangag (fried rice).

    that another is to remedy the shortcomings of moms and

    Oh, mine had their shortcomings as well.... they did fairly well in some
    areas though... :)

    Good.... :)

    Remember polyunsaturates?

    Yup... vaguely.... ;)

    Have been lately doing meats in the frypan rather than the oven...
    For two it makes sense, especially
    given you like rare meat.
    That's what I figured...
    Cooking for a crowd almost necessarily
    means more use of ovens and such things
    that jump out and hurt you.

    These days, I'm just as glad not to be cooking for a crowd.... ;)

    Where's the fun in cooking something
    not likely to exude juice and fat?
    Well I was first thinking about something like pizza... (G) The burgers
    do exude some juice and fat, as did the Italian sausage patties I
    broiled in the oven earlier this week.... but not so much as to spill
    over the lip....
    Either not enough food or not enough lusciousness!

    Mostly the former, probably... only feeding the two of us, remember....
    the cats only get tiny nibbles from ours, though they act sometimes like
    they deserve their own huge portion (note to cats: not going to
    happen)...

    I know. I refer to it as "hamburger tongue", especially in cases where biting one's tongue is pretty much constant.... ;)
    Not a pretty image. How often do you hang

    I wonder if I'd be one whom you might have
    to bite your tongue at sometimes.

    I don't have to bite too hard for some people that I might not totally
    agree with... I'm content with just not agreeing, and don't always have
    to make arguments of things anyway... backing out isn't quite so painful
    as biting the tongue to keep from saying something... ;)

    That started out as a fairly standard
    shape recipe. Are you telling me that
    Doc's adds or perhaps subtracts hard
    returns to/from online-subnitted
    messages?

    curiosity though about whether entering messages
    in full-screen mode vs. windowed mode yields
    different carriage returns.

    That I'm not sure about... the ones that tend to get a more major mangle
    are the recipes that have the ingredients in two columns, so the wrap is
    more likely to mix them....

    ... I came, I saw, and I stepped in it anyway.
