Indeed. He was an arrogant SOB, and I always figured
he was the best karateka in Lexington, Kentucky mostly
to impress the girls.

Probably.

Not that we all didn't do things to impress members
of the opposite sex, but in some cases it appears
just so blatant.

Yup.

It irritates me when the jackdaws have such success when
there are so many other less obnoxious and more worthy
candidates going begging.

Homeschoolers nowadays get a fair bit of socialization... they generally do group enrichment, one day a week for a period of time (maybe 10 or 13 weeks) a couple times a year.... That's when they'll have some subjects best taught in a group... including science lectures and labs... but
they are also interacting with others besides their siblings... :)

It's changed since my day.

It has... and has become more mainstream.... I think that the enrichment classes have been available from the beginning of Lydia's being involved
in home-schooling, ie since her oldest was ready for school... she's homeschooled all her kids straight thru high school, except for one that
she sent to the local school for a while.... The local LEAH group (not
sure exactly what that stands for, but it's an organization of
homeschoolers) had those classes, and Lydia and Daddy team-taught
Physics more than once..... :)

I have no objection to homeschooling or school
schooling or anything that gives kids a decent
education and chance of success out in the real
world. I will point out, though, that home
or private education is not an excuse for not
supporting public efforts, same with any kind of
infrastructure levy that contributes to the
common good - highways, sewers, water, what have
you. To me, though, taxes to pay for football
stadiums are an unconstitutional taking.

You try asking some 21st-century young adult who's
on first, and see what you get.

Depends on the kid... ;)

We're talking percentages here!

Most of the kids I'm in contact with seem to know the skit... of course,
most of them are also homeschooled, or really into baseball and even the
fun stuff around it... :)

You must run around in classier circles than I do!

For a while Upstate Farms was the yogurt supplier
to United - it was lowfat. Now it's Chobani nonfat.

Hardly worth ingesting.... What we buy in the store is the Stonyfield
whole milk yogurt... now that is good stuff... Used to be even better,
when they sold the cream-top yogurt.... ;)

Stonyfield is relatively good (insofar as yogurt
can be good). I knew the founder of that farm, the
business end of it anyway, and I didn't super care
for him - still bought the stuff, though, for
Indian food and such.

Rancidity isn't the only way a thing can spoil, after all... and nasty
is nasty....

But fat increases the chance multifold. And dollars
are dollars.

And nonfat stays out of my cart.... they get no dollars from me... ;)

Oh, for sure, me too.

What's nonfat sour cream - nonfat sour additives? -

An oxymoron, for starters.... and yes, probably nothing but sour
additives... ;0
... Who needs veggies or nutrition? Bring on the luscious fat!

Fat is nutrition.

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07

Title: Cottagers' Meatloaf
Categories: Meats, wwtt
Servings: 8

1 1/8 lb Lean belly pork *
3/4 lb Pig's liver
6 oz Lean green streaky bacon
6 oz Grated carrot
6 oz Fresh brown breadcrumbs
2 sm Onions
1 lg Green pepper
Fresh chopped parsley
1 Garlic clove; crushed w/salt
4 ts Lemon juice
1 ts Lemon zest
1/4 ts (generous) dried thyme
1/4 ts (generous) dried marjoram

*Note: Weight of pork is after trimming away bones, rind and excess fat.

Mince the meats fairly finely, grate the carrot and chop the onion and
green pepper very finely. Mix all the ingredients very thoroughly with
your hands and season well with salt and pepper. Fry a small nugget to
check seasoning and adjust to taste. Oil a 2 lb loaf tin, line with
greaseproof paper and oil again. Pack the mixture into the tin. Press
it
down well, dome the top of the meat nicely and press 2 or 3 bay leaves on
top.

Cover the tin with foil. Stand it in a roasting pan and pour in enough
boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the loaf tin. Bake at 350
F
(180 C) gas mark 4 for 1 hour. Reduce temperature to 325 F (160 C) gas
mark 3, remove foil lid and bake for a further 30 minutes.

Cool the cooked meatloaf for 30 minutes, then tilt the tin and pour off
the juices. Set aside in a cold place overnight before serving to allow
flavours to blend and mature.

Some aren't so impressed by the jackdaws... and see the worth of quiet
ones...

We paid our school taxes whether our kid was in private school or in
public... and continue to do so, now that he's full grown.... And were
actively involved with whichever school he was in at the time... And I
think I agree with you on taxes for football stadiums being wrong...

Totally agree with you there... the tag expresses opinions other than
mine... except for the lusciousness of fat.... (G)

Could help explain why British food is so bland.... I note they also
call for pouring off the juices.... more flavor lost....
