• 86 travel was crusty again

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to RUTH HAFFLY on Thursday, March 14, 2019 12:14:52
    Has been, ever since the "women's lib" movement got going.
    And of course the question is why not.
    Because it seemed like a good idea at the time? (G)

    If it doesn't become a Procrustean bed,
    equality is something to be aimed for.
    Inflammatory rhetoric aside, there's
    nothing wrong with liberating every sort
    of people to more or less the same degree.

    Idle speculation whether there's a coincidence
    between dialects and styles of barbecue sauce.
    Not that I'm aware of.
    And of course there's Gullah, whose people I
    figure eat mostly fish.
    Probably so, that, and other seafood.
    Goes without saying, the other seafood part.
    Undoubtedly.

    I try to get either scent free or lightly scented if
    possible. > ML> I've tried suggesting this, but people seem
    to have become impervious to these smells and
    tastes, which seem to have become permanent
    background noise. I have gotten both Bonnie and
    Or as one air freshener commercial says, "nose blind".
    Evocative. Is that what agNOSEia means?
    Don't know, could be.

    That too was a joke. Reminding me that there's
    this condition I've always had a touch of,
    called prosopagnosia, difficulty remembering
    faces, that has gotten substantially worse in
    the last year. In my case the manifestation is
    an inability to cross-reference names and faces.
    Evereyone seems to have a touch of it, but for
    me now it's become a practical problem.

    What, too much trouble to put an ounce or two
    of stuff in to fill the little cup in the door?
    Tried liquids, the bottles never fully emptied so there was a lot of
    waste. Used powders but they could be messy. Tablets are convenient, no
    mess, pre measured so you get the right amount all the time.

    The liquid residuum issue is valid, but the amount
    of waste would appear to me to be insignificant
    compared to that intrinsic in the plastic tubs
    with tasty-looking pillows inside (not to say
    anything about the cost). Powders, it all rests
    on how much sacrifice you're willing to undertake
    for the sake of ecology and savings. Thinking back
    on last time I used powders, my guess would be an
    added cost of at most ten seconds using the powder.

    ditch the Dawn stuff, though, and both use enough
    to leave a residue of scent on the supposedly
    clean dishes; in both cases I have to wash my
    own separately before using. Rosemary's hasn't
    Not my idea of fun. (G)
    Beats tasting wretchedness for a whole meal.
    True.

    I'd rather dishwasher wash with no detergent at
    all than one of the pillows.

    We don't, a little goes a long way.
    I'm surprised nobody has yet identified Dawn
    as a major pollutant.
    Actually, that's the one that's used after a lot of oil spills to clean
    off birds and other wildlife that have been caught in the oil. That's
    one of their selling points.

    That is not an endorsement for everyday overuse
    of the stuff. Toxic waste cleanup is an emergency
    situation. I question, too, that the net effect of
    using the stuff is beneficial at all. Do the
    rescued animals go on to live a normal life
    (doubtful), and what's the eventual effect of all
    that additional cleanser on the local ecology (I'm
    betting on negative).

    ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00

    Title: Crusty Cheddar Bread
    Categories: Breads
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 pk Active dry yeast; or 1 t Active dry yeast; bulk
    1/4 c Water; warm, 110-115 deg. f. 1 c Cottage cheese; *
    1 t Sugar 1 1/4 t Salt
    1 ea Egg; lg. 2 1/4 c Unbleached flour; unsifted,*
    1 t Butter; room temperature 1 c Cheddar; sharp, grated

    * The cottage cheese should be the small curd kind at room temperature.
    **
    You can use up to an extra 1/4 cup of flour in this recipe depending on
    the
    weather.

    Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let stand 5 minutes. Gently
    stir
    to completely dissolve. With an electric mixer, blend the softened yeast
    into the cottage cheese, sugar, salt and egg. Add the flour in 1/2 cup
    portions to form a stiff but light dough and let rise in a warm place
    until
    doubled in bulk. Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and stir the dough
    down, then add 1 cup of the grated cheddar cheese. Turn into the buttered
    dish. Let rise 30 to 40 minutes longer or until almost doubled in size.
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until
    golden brown. Brush the top with butter. Source unknown

    Hi Michael,

    Has been, ever since the "women's lib" movement got going.
    And of course the question is why not.
    Because it seemed like a good idea at the time? (G)

    If it doesn't become a Procrustean bed,
    equality is something to be aimed for.
    Inflammatory rhetoric aside, there's
    nothing wrong with liberating every sort
    of people to more or less the same degree.

    But really, not a good [lace to discuss this so I'll end it on my part.

    Idle speculation whether there's a coincidence
    between dialects and styles of barbecue sauce.
    Not that I'm aware of.
    And of course there's Gullah, whose people I
    figure eat mostly fish.
    Probably so, that, and other seafood.
    Goes without saying, the other seafood part.
    Undoubtedly.

    Wonder how many of their recipies have been writtten down and how many
    just passed down as "a pinch of this" or "a handful of that" type
    cooking. My handful would be much different than Steve's but if
    proportions were all kept in equal ratios, the dish would turn out the
    same for both of us.

    I try to get either scent free or lightly scented if
    possible. > ML> I've tried suggesting this, but people seem
    to have become impervious to these smells and
    tastes, which seem to have become permanent
    background noise. I have gotten both Bonnie and

    I would think, with your vision issues, it would be an issue. You'll
    just have to train yourself for better voice recognition, as one of my
    blind friends in college did.

    What, too much trouble to put an ounce or two
    of stuff in to fill the little cup in the door?
    Tried liquids, the bottles never fully emptied so there was a lot of waste. Used powders but they could be messy. Tablets are convenient,

    for the sake of ecology and savings. Thinking back
    on last time I used powders, my guess would be an
    added cost of at most ten seconds using the powder.

    I'll stick with the tablets; they weigh a lot less than a big box of
    powder. The weight factor is a big consideration for me.

    ditch the Dawn stuff, though, and both use enough
    to leave a residue of scent on the supposedly
    clean dishes; in both cases I have to wash my
    own separately before using. Rosemary's hasn't

    Beats tasting wretchedness for a whole meal.
    True.

    I'd rather dishwasher wash with no detergent at
    all than one of the pillows.

    Does it matter what brand is used?

    We don't, a little goes a long way.
    I'm surprised nobody has yet identified Dawn
    as a major pollutant.

    Ask a scientist, not me. (G)

    This looks good but I'd use extra sharp cheese, whole wheat flour and
    maybe a bit of mustard.
