Wegmans to us is still the one in MD--we're getting the one in

Raleigh, > I believe, this year.
Give a report.

I updated Nancy earlier this week on it. Another update, not related to Wegmans--my knee surgery date is now set for February 15. If I'm "off
the air' for a few days, it's because I will be too fogged out to want
to do too much. I will ask Steve to post an update after surgery to let everybody know how it went.

Smartass answer: But you don't use your knee
to write with, do you?

Less smartass answer: Okay, I hope Nancy and I
can take up the slack. Maybe someone else can
help, too.

Nonsmartass answer: Wishing you the best of luck.

That's the thing - the programs represent a
3-5% discount but only if you keep up with
them. I'm guessing that half the customers
forget about their credits until it's too late.

We didn't forget about our credits. Steve's sister did the booking so
I'm not sure where the credits went--probably to her.

It's the person doing the flying who get the
credits. Otherwise the travel agents would be
really rich.

Probably so few that keeping track of them wasn't worth the bother? Frontier is adding some more flights out of RDU this year, but it's

I have various problems with Allegiant, Spirit, and
Frontier, not least of which is their maintenance
record.

I'm not going to consider any of them unless I have no other choice.

Good idea, and remember to bring your parachute.

Those little nut megs last a long time, if kept properly. Ours are either in the freezer or a small jar (with a cap) in the spice

cabinet. > I've got a small Microplane grater that I use with them. Don't know - Weller recently posted a recipe
or rather procedure which used half a meg nut

That's way too much nutmeg for me! It might be OK if you're making
multiple gallons of the stuff, but even then, a little goes a long way.

I thought so, plus the things are kind of
expensive. Not as bad as cardamoms have
gotten, but still too much.

I just made a quart of yummy beef/chicken
stock that will go to good use this week.

Sounds like a winner.

I thought so. It's handy stuff.

Well, I can't speak for you, but I think
there's more off-topic here than a vigilant
moderator would allow. Luckily for everyone,

The moderator is quite liberal on that.

And if he gets out of line, I am still
flexible enough to kick him in the bottom.

the moderator has several lines that mustn't
be crossed, but otherwise he's pretty okay
with stuff.

I have a list of scripture tag lines that I don't use, just to be on the
safe side.

Thanks for that. I was going to say something
to your husband about Happy the man that findeth
wisdom, but then I reflected that that's totally
uncontroversial and isn't really religion specific.

Too bad my parents didn't know this when I was growing up--our dogs always got bathed in tomato juice. It reduced, but didn't totally eliminate, the skunk smell. It's stuff they always had on hand so a batch could have been made up easily.

Plus tomato juice is relatively expensive.

The one dog I remember getting a tomato juice bath was about the size of
a Welsh Corgi. We think she had some Corgi ancestry in her. But, I
remember seeing her with the white fur turned pink from tomato juice.

And you laughed and laughed ... .

Other dogs preferred to tangle with porcupines.

Equally troublesome for you - and more
dangerous for them.

The usual disclaimer. Never heard of the publication before.

If you didn't live in or around Ramona,
there's no reason why you would have.

No need.

Believe me, there's no need even if you
live there.

No, not for that amount of milk. You would need twice that amount of
flour if you were to use it for the thickening agent.

Cornstarch is way different from flour. I
think it's likely to be more keto-friendly,
as it's more effective that way, but of course
there's the corn sensitivity issue that some
may have issues with.

Corn muffins
categories: all-American, starch, celebrity, low-corn
servings: 24 to 36

1 1/2 c sugar
1 pn salt
2 Tb baking powder
3 1/2 c bread flour

Combine sugar, salt, baking powder, flour, cornmeal,
eggs, and 1 c milk until well blended. Add remaining
milk and the salad oil and mix for 3 min. Place in
well-greased muffin tins and bake at 400F for 20 min

No, but I will be fogged out from the anesthesia and painkillers for the
first few days.

I'm sure there will be no problems in that department.

Thanks, I'll be glad to not have the pain.

We didn't really look into it. She flys down (from NY to FL) on a
regular basis to look after Mom & Dad H so she's welcome to use the
credits if she did get them.

I thought so, plus the things are kind of

But the fresh grated nut meg is so much better than the stuff you buy
pre grated who knows how long ago. Especially if it's in the plastic
jars.

Quite so.

Probably so; I don't remember if I did or not as that dog has been gone
for a good many years.

Dad would try to pull them out with a pair of pliers but would usually
end up taking the dog to the vet.

Steve doesn't seem to be bothered by corn starch. I've used it in
various things and not gotten any feed back about a migraine aura. But
yes, I've noticed that it does act somewhat differently than flour when
used as a thickener.

We were watching one of Gail's Alaska pioneer type shows a few nights
ago. The man in that show had a number of animals, horses, cows etc.
He had one rather large cow who had had a tangle with a porcupine. They
showed the multitude of quills that he was pulling out using pliers.
The cow was tied down and immobilized, especially with the leg that was effected.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: BAKED GARLIC WITH BRIE CHEESE
Categories: Appetizers, Cheese/eggs
Yield: 6 Servings

2 Garlic bulbs; whole
12 oz Brie cheese;room temperature
Cocktail bread, crispbread,
French bread; sliced 1/2"
-thick
6 oz Jar roasted red peppers;
-well drained; cut into
-small; narrow strips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove some of the outer layers from
garlic, but leave bulbs intact. Place on a baking sheet and bake for
about 40-50 minutes or until cloves are soft. Test with a toothpick
or skewer. To serve, gently separate the cloves and arrange on a
serving plate. Place the Brie on a larger plate, surrounded by the
bread of your choice. Place red pepper strips in a small bowl and
provide a small fork. Each guest should spread Brie on a piece of
bread with a spreading knife, squeeze a garlic clove directly on to
it, then top it with a strip or two of red pepper. You might prepare
a few at first as examples.

Hi Dale,

Other dogs preferred to tangle with porcupines.

dangerous for them.

Our dogs usually got a muzzle full of quills. A case of sticking their
noses in where they didn't belong--and getting a snootful of quills for
their curiosity.

Hmmmmmmmmm, I've heard of baked brie, but not baked garlic with brie.
Might be worth trying out some time.
