    And then we're all in a mess.
    We're in a mess already, though I'm surprised that
    the traps haven't all been sprung at once.
    They may spring when we least expect it.

    Some of us are kind of expecting it all the time.

    Right now the big decision is Italian out or pulled pork in (at
    home) on > Thursday night.
    I hope it's not like waiting for the ice skating
    scores in the old days, where they had to calculate
    and recalculate and ... oh it's a tie, 4.0 for Italian
    and 4.0 for pulled pork.
    It's not that big an issue; I just want to get a general consensus to
    know if I need to make reservations or supper for Thursday night.

    Keep me posted, please.
    See previous post. It's not all dismaying but
    not all reassuring either.
    I saw the post--something needs looking at but hopefully it's not
    anything life threatening.

    It could be an artifact or it could be a
    chronic internal infection, which is very
    weird, or it could be the big C, which is
    not something one wants to think about.

    But other patients have setbacks, too,
    not that's a huge consolation.
    I know, and it's only 8 weeks since surgery. I really had no idea of an expected time line for recovery, probably should have figured on some
    set backs along the way. But, I'm up, mobile and giving the knee a work
    out so overall doing better thaan just sitting around, gathering moss.

    I'd be dancing like a semidespondent fury too if my
    recovery didn't follow my own impossible timeline.

    Those eyes are really going wacky!
    Indeed. Luckily today the meanings haven't gone
    all kaflooey - I read throeback and arrowbook,
    alternating, but that's at least not ambiguous.
    Makes life interesting, doesn't it? (G)

    Not always in a great way.

    Full size aircraft.
    I was about to say wow, but then I used to fly
    Boston to New York and New York to Washington,
    mostly on full-size jets, and those are just over
    hal as long as your giant puddlejump flight.
    Our flights to Kauai and Maui were like that also, thinking back.

    I've tried to go interisland on bigger planes, but
    mostly it's not possible.

    I can see eating it to fend off starvation but
    not otherwise.
    I'd have to be near to starvation to eat much more than a mibble of
    it.
    Exactly.
    Doesn't appear to be on my radar any time soon then.

    I'd certainly hope that.

    Only when needed, which I've already estimated at
    a dozen times in my life.
    I've had enough burns to know that it's smarter to carry (and use) the
    sun screen.

    To commemorate my first sunburn I think I wrote about it
    on the echo; there have been two or so since. The rest
    of the times sunscreen has saved the day.

    Gobblin's getcha, if you don't watch out. (G)
    Doesn't matter if you're watching out, so
    that may be worse.
    Get that set of eyes in the back of your head?

    Neh, it's probably better not to know.

    I read Christian Amtrak. I wonder how many
    peasants had those items handy (eggs, onions,
    and more than that, lots of pork and butter).
    Actually a farm would probably have eggs, onions, pork and butter on
    hand--a cow or tw, likewise with pigs, a flock of chickens and a garden patch. No brainer.

    Not likely to eggs, pork, and butter. Possible to
    onions. We were talking about 18th-19th century
    Russian peasants, who if not starving were likely
    to be close enough.

    Title: Quick And Easy Channa
    Categories: Dessert, Indian
    Yield: 1 servings

    1 md Onion, chopped finely
    2 Cloves garlic, chopped
    1 1/2 tb Canola oil
    2 " stick cinnamon (optional)
    6 Cloves, crushed (optional)
    4 Cardamom pods, crushed
    -(optional)
    2 ts INDIAN curry powder (see
    -NOTE below)
    2 Or 3 tbsp. tomato ketchup
    2 14-16 oz. cans chick peas
    -(garbanzos)
    1 bn Coriander leaves (cilantro),
    -de-stemmed and chopped

    Although this is not absolutely authentic, it's quick (unlike most
    Indian dishes), and easily made for a delicious approximation of the
    real thing. Adding the optional ingredients helps the flavor, but a
    quick-and-dirty onion-garlic-curry powder-ketchup-chick peas version
    isn't too bad, either.

    Fry the onions in oil at medium-high heat until golden and
    translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, fry for a minute. Add
    cinnamon, cloves and cardamom, fry for a minute (until the kitchen
    begins to smell really good!).

    Now add the curry powder to the onions, fry for a minute or two. As
    the mixture begins to stick, add the ketchup to make it more pliable.
    Keep on frying for about 5 minutes, stirring fairly constantly. Once
    this "base masala" is ready (one hint is if the oil starts separating
    from the mixture), just add the chickpeas, including the water they
    are in.

    Stir to mix, heat until it boils, then cover and lower the heat to
    medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes, take off heat and stir in coriander
    leaves. Serve hot, with heated pita, tortillas, Indian bread (roti,
    naan or puri) or rice.

    NOTE: McCormick's or other American "curry powder" just isn't as
    good as the powder you can find in Indian stores. In case you are
    finicky and an Indian store isn't easily available, a fair
    approximation can be made with 1/2 tsp. corinader, 1/2 tsp. cumin,
    1/2 tsp. turmeric, 1/4-1/2 tsp. hot chile powder.

    If you leave around late morning or so, you should avoid the traffic
    around DC. It's a roughly 6 hour drive; we have gone I-95 to I-85 to
    Capttal Blvd (US 1) or 301 to 95 to 85 etc. The latter is more scenic;
    you will probably have a toll at the Nice bridge from MD to VA however.

    Sorry you couldn't make it this year but hopefully next year. We're
    planning a major road trip next summer so a late summer or early fall
    gathering would work best for us. Hopefully not to come back down in the
    midst of a hurricane like we did last year with Florence, either.

    Years ago I tried an improvised version of something similar but didn't

    sage. It was good, haven't done it in years as Steve generally smokes

    I don't know if I've said anything in here but I have been tentatively hired by the VA as a housekeeper at the James H. Quillen VAMC in Mountain Home (Johnson City). I am just waiting for their background check/work verification process to complete. It's been two months so far and I'm hoping they will get done before the holidays but it doesn't seem like it. If I can get this job, I'll have the job security I need and can retire from this. Of course, the VA hires internally for job openings first so this is a door into the system.

    I don't see why not. I don't see anything in there that I don't agree with though the nuts would be hard for me to chew. This Thanksgiving, I will probably cook the family's Thanksgiving dinner with "quick" items such as a processed turkey loaf, instant mashed potatoes, et cetera. None of us have the time nor patience for anything big or exciting for Thanksgiving since it is just the three of us (Mom, Dad, and myself).

    Here's a recipe for something I'd make for Thanksgiving. After adding about 20,000 recipes to my Meal-Master, I discovered the addition of a "holiday" catagory opened up a -lot- of good recipes...

    white bread; push start When we make this into Challa, we remove from
    the breadmaker after the manual mode stops, (first rise); and then
    braid* and rise again; then put an egg wash over the challa.

    BAKE in a 350 degree oven until a light toasty brown. We usually
    sprinkle on some type of seeds (sesame or poppy) after the egg wash.

    * Braiding in the flat manner. The middle one goes under and over;
    never across.

    MMMMM

    Later,
    Sean

    I don't know if I've said anything in here but I have been
    tentatively hired by
    the VA as a housekeeper at the James H. Quillen VAMC in Mountain Home (Johnson City). I am just waiting for their background check/work verification process to complete. It's been two months so far and I'm hoping they will get done before the holidays but it doesn't seem like
    it. If I can get this job, I'll have the job security I need and can retire from this. Of course, the VA hires
    internally for job openings first so this is a door into the system.

    I think that I saw you say that on Facebook. I do hope that you can get
    the job. Not only will it give you a good path to retirement, it will
    give you pretty good health benefits.

    Here's a recipe for something I'd make for Thanksgiving. After adding about 20,000 recipes to my Meal-Master, I discovered the addition of a "holiday" catagory opened up a -lot- of good recipes...

    Here is one of our Thanksgiving favorites. It gets served as a side
    dish, but could also be a dessert -- i.e. very similar to a bread
    pudding.

    Did I mention that it would be easy to chew?

    Hi Sean,

    Sorry you couldn't make it this year but hopefully next year. We're planning a major road trip next summer so a late summer or early fall gathering would work best for us. Hopefully not to come back down in

    I don't know if I've said anything in here but I have been tentatively hired by the VA as a housekeeper at the James H. Quillen VAMC in
    Mountain Home (Johnson City). I am just waiting for their background check/work verification process to complete. It's been two months so

    You mentioned it before the picnic--looks like they're dragging their
    heels on it. Not surprised with the VA.

    far and I'm hoping they will get done before the holidays but it
    doesn't seem like it. If I can get this job, I'll have the job
    security I need and can retire from this. Of course, the VA hires internally for job openings first so this is a door into the system.

    Hopefully it'll come thru for you and you can work your way up the
    system.

    Title: American Turkey Stuffing

    Years ago I tried an improvised version of something similar but didn't have the apple or nuts and home made corn bread (before we realised Steve's allergy to corn). IIRC, I used poultry seasoning instead of
    sage. It was good, haven't done it in years as Steve generally smokes
    the now. Maybe I ought to try a version 2.0 as a side dish?

    I don't see why not. I don't see anything in there that I don't agree with though the nuts would be hard for me to chew. This Thanksgiving,
    I will probably cook the family's Thanksgiving dinner with "quick"
    items such as a processed turkey loaf, instant mashed potatoes, et
    cetera. None of us have the time nor patience for anything big or exciting for Thanksgiving since it is just the three of us (Mom, Dad,
    and myself).

    We're going down to Florida to see Steve's parents over the holiday.
    This will be their first year in the assisted living apartment so it
    will be interesting to see how dinner works out. Mom will probably want
    to go all out again but doesn't have the space to do so. She does have a working stove which is more than most apartments in the facility have
    but the kitchen is about the size of the one we had in California when
    we were out there for Steve's language school. Workable for everyday use
    but special occaision cooking was just about impossible.

    Here's a recipe for something I'd make for Thanksgiving. After adding about 20,000 recipes to my Meal-Master, I discovered the addition of a "holiday" catagory opened up a -lot- of good recipes...

    Title: CHALLA * GOLDEN EGG BREAD
    Categories: Breadmaker, Jewish, Rolls, Brunch, Holiday
    Yield: 16 Servings

    I made this years ago, when I was making all my breadstuffs without the
    help of my KA mixer. I'd first tasted it the summer I worked at a Jewish
    camp, and like most of the foods I tried there, it was something I liked
    enough to try making on my own.
