5:19 am

blood sausage - one of the few foods I don't find appealing
6:08 am
rubyfoo

it must be the grappa ! :(
6:08 am

that's what you get when you drink too much at lunch, lol. No, I don't like blood sausage either, but it is nice to see you enjoying yourself.

good morning.
6:09 am

hello kaplan
6:09 am
sprite

my son loves it though
6:10 am

we get it a lot here... tapas bars especially
6:10 am
rubyfoo

I think if you could only have one food, you could live a very long time eating only blood sausage
6:10 am
kje

well.. *I* don't get it a lot here, but it is available
6:10 am
Kaplan the Magne

aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
6:10 am

my one food would be spinach
6:10 am

if I could only have one food for the rest of my life, I'd choose fruit. It is not my favorite fruit, but I know I can live on it for a really long time.
6:10 am

bitt
6:10 am

kaplan would probably stop eating altogether!
6:11 am

I love spinach in combination with pasta... and indian spices.
6:11 am

the only blood food I can think of that wouldn't gag me is blood orange

I love spinach cold, hot, i stuff, alone... however it comes
6:11 am
Kaplan the Magne

yes, thank you
6:11 am
rubyfoo

I think that blood sausage has all the b vitamins plus a surprising amount of C
6:12 am
kje

blood oranges make a wonderful cocktail!
6:12 am
Kaplan the Magne

I'll take it in pill form.
6:12 am
kje

C? from what
6:12 am
rubyfoo

spinach, although I love it, has become increasingly scary as it picks up all the pollutants
6:12 am
sprite

I don't like bloody marys either...
6:12 am
MollyL

KJE! That's my girl! Thinking of cocktails this early in the morning!
6:12 am

liver and other organ meats have a lot of vitamin C
6:13 am

Blood sausage *shudder*
6:14 am

rubyfoo, I don't think so, I hate tomato juice, lol

ah yes, exactly sprite
6:15 am

6:15 am

I have two oranges (juiced) every morning
6:15 am

lots of minerals too, rubyfoo. Natrium, kalium, phosfor, ferrum (of course)
6:15 am

Blood on the Tracks is OK.

scurvy would be the last of my worries

Aw c'mon Kap, live a little! There is more to life than bran muffins and coffee. : D

I have two citrus every morning also ruby, but whole - usually clementines, tagerines, orages, I love citrus with my coffee (doig it now)
6:17 am

oh man... avocados.... LOVE
6:17 am

I put so much milk in my coffee, that I have to eat something in between or else the milk curdlew
6:18 am

I have recently bought a smoothie maker. Am as happy as a child. Making at least one fruit smoothy daily, varying the fruits. No more worries what to have as breakfast.
6:18 am
rubyfoo

abocadoes are wondeerful! Would you like a recipe for "the best" guacamole, developped over many years?
6:18 am
kje

I use just enough 1/2 and 1/2 to barely discolor the cup... should look like very dark chocolate
6:18 am
sprite

absolutely, rubyfoo. My husband loves it.
6:19 am
rubyfoo

abocado sounds like a cross between lawyers and fruit
6:19 am
kje

lol ruby... sure... but remember I grew up in TX!
6:19 am
rubyfoo

and I lived in Miami, hahahah KJE
6:19 am

OK, fair enough.... you have some guac cred then
6:19 am

I hope....
6:20 am

unfortunately, can't get decent tequilla here, a big loss!
6:20 am

that is true... I am know for my margaritas and whe in italy they wanted me to make them.... o luck findig ay decet tequila
6:21 am

Jose Cuerva gold was all I found... so marginal
6:21 am
rubyfoo

how do you add to your babble profile?
6:21 am
kje

add n's in where needed
6:22 am
rubyfoo

here, they only have yucky "off" brands of tequile. Jose CXurevo gold would be a lot better. My fave is Herradura
6:22 am
kje

ruby - if I make it to see you some day, I'll bring you some decet tequila... no one should have to survive without good tequila
6:22 am
rubyfoo

ty KJE, that's a kind thought
6:23 am
rubyfoo

I'll put my guacamole rcipe into an e-amil and send it to sprite and kje

hi Bremen!
6:25 am
MollyL

Sprite, I make smoothies all the time. It's a great way to use up fruit.
6:25 am

much better than commercial torilla chips
6:26 am
sprite

rubyfoo, will you send me the recipe for the perfect guacamole? Please?
6:26 am

{{molly}} I make jam with the icky fruit
6:26 am

I totally agree, Molly
6:26 am
rubyfoo

yes, sprite, in about 2 hours
6:26 am
rubyfoo

a little? hahahah
6:27 am
kje

well, wasn't sure if it is just the lack of coffee, ruby, so was giving it the benefit of the doubt
6:27 am
sprite

whenever it suits you, rubyfoo, thanks in advance :)
6:27 am
MollyL

I have a power juicer too, which helps me use up the veggies as well.
6:28 am
kje

I guess the grappa isn't any better... if neither caffeine or alcohol help, I may be in trouble
6:28 am
rubyfoo

sounds like what I would do with veggies and then toss
6:28 am
sprite

I can do veggies as well. Just don't know about veggie juice... doesn't appeal to me, I guess
6:28 am
rubyfoo

but today I made cel;eri rave and rhubarb, a much more productive morning than usual
6:28 am
MollyL

I do a mix of carrots, celery and tomato. It's loads better than V8.
6:29 am
rubyfoo

mostly, I just make one or two jars of jam a day
6:29 am
kje

a day??? wow, that is a lot of jam... do you give it away
6:29 am
rubyfoo

tomorrow, I have to make blackberry jelly because I have a ton of them and they will spoil otherwise. How is all that for a chick from NY?
6:30 am
sprite

homely!
6:30 am
rubyfoo

We eat it in the winter and it is much better (and cleaner, less sugar, too) than commercial jams and jellies
6:30 am
MollyL

Ruby, can't you freeze your fruit?
6:30 am
kje

anyone here ever make your own sausage, I am considering giving it a try... it intrigues me... then can avoid all the crap they put in it
6:30 am
kje

mmmm... blackberry is my fave
6:30 am
sprite

carrots... celery... sounds ok. But does it really tastes nice? I always think it would taste like cold soup.
6:30 am
MollyL

No KJE, but I am so tempted.
6:30 am
dcseain

making sausage is fun and not hard
6:31 am
rubyfoo

I'd rather make it into jam or jelly. The freezer is not up to snuff and I tend to let things languiash in there
6:31 am
kje

what kind have you made dc?
6:31 am
MollyL

Tastes like V8 Sprite.
6:31 am
sprite

you must start with raising a pig or cow for the meat then, kje. And only give it good food.
6:31 am
dcseain

that's part of how we used up various bits when i was visiting the farm growing up. We made kielbasa, scrapple, and breakfast ones.
6:31 am
sprite

ok Molly, thanks. I hate V8 :(
6:31 am
rubyfoo

eeew, V8!

good quality meat and fat makes a big difference, as does fresh spices and herbs
6:32 am

morning, all!
6:32 am

has anybody read "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer? It is enough to make you become a vegetarian.
6:32 am
sprite

hehehe kje, I understand fully! But it is the only way to not have lots of bad stuff in your sausages.
6:32 am
MollyL

Hmm, maybe if I make sausage, I'll get the meat from the Amish market then. That is about as close as I will get to fresh meat.
6:33 am
rubyfoo

I would like to have a pet goat but it would eat all my flowers!
6:33 am
dcseain

scrapple isa regional food here. Think pate de foie gras but as a fried slice of sausage.
6:33 am
kje

there are several atural meat places aroud... heritage pigs, grass raised beef, scrathig hens, etc... I ca get decent meat
6:33 am
sprite

ah great! We don'
6:33 am

we don't have much of that here. Too small a country
6:33 am

but ruby... fresh goat cheese!!!!
6:33 am

that would be worth it
6:33 am
MollyL

Scrapple *shudder*
6:33 am

morning everyone,i have shot and eaten things while they were still twitching,so i think the book will not bother me much lol
6:33 am

ohhhhhh goat cheese! I love it mature too.
6:33 am
sprite

hey crossy :D
6:34 am
rubyfoo

I would love that, Seain, but I think the meat here is awful compared with American meat. The beef is inedible
6:34 am
sprite

still twitching? What?
6:34 am
kje

sheep is my fave, then goat, the cow...
6:34 am
rubyfoo

{{tough guy crossy}}
6:34 am
rubyfoo

we get wonderful halal lamb and mutton and megfuez
6:34 am
kje

I must agree with that ruby... we do get better beef... you have better most everything else!
6:34 am
MollyL

Scrapple is made from scraps of meat left over from butchering, not used or sold elsewhere. *Shudder*
6:34 am
dcseain

i bet you can get good goat and lamb there, no, ruby?
6:35 am
rubyfoo

nah, Hellman's mayonaise is the best and Jimmy Dean little sausages, and T-bone steaks....OMG
6:35 am
uusue2

there is a natural meat farmer who comes to our farmers market - I don't really eat much meat but sometimes we get uncured bacon from him (Frank can't handle the nitrates)
6:35 am
dcseain

Scrapple is made from offal largely, that is true, molly.
6:36 am
rubyfoo

I actually like offal; I think they don't mess with it as much as the rest
6:36 am
sprite

france is known for its awful meat, alas.
6:37 am
rubyfoo

my dogs eat offal risotto: half brown.half white rice, beef hearts, chicken, chicken livers, parmesan and bouillon cubes
6:37 am
MollyL

*Singing* You say offal, I say awful*
6:37 am
rubyfoo

oh, and caulifolower
6:37 am
rubyfoo

and they have coats like the finest mink!
6:37 am

*I* would eat that, ruby!
6:37 am
rubyfoo

and you say tomahto.....
6:38 am
MollyL

I say tomayto
6:38 am
rubyfoo

it's really very good, but would I have to hand-feed you, too, KJE?
6:38 am
sprite

omg, cauliflower. I hated that as a child and never even thought of making it myself as an adult. Th4 my husband cooked me some... and I loved it. Makes a lot of difference if you cook it to pulp (as my mother does) or not.
6:38 am
kje

well, at least bring it to the table...
6:39 am
rubyfoo

it is tiring, but I love hand-feeding them. It is delicious to hear them making yummy noices and rooting around like babies
6:39 am
kje

lol sprite - my sister and i were just talking last night about how our mother cooked veggies to death... it was the era I guess
6:39 am
sprite

yes I think so too, kje. I always thought I hated veggies. But I only hated them cooked to death :) Love veggies now.
6:40 am
rubyfoo

my husband wouldn't eat cauliflower or beets and I've taught him to eat both, cauliflower casseroles or sauteed with garlic and pickled beets with garlic, onions and turnip
6:40 am
MollyL

What IS it with that? My Mother did the same thing with vegetables. I am just the opposite. I need them cooked so there is still the slightest bit of crisp in them.
6:40 am
kje

now beets are another food I can live without... maybe it is a red thing, there seems to be a theme
6:40 am
crosshair

we tried brociflower the other night..talk about messing with nature lol
6:40 am
rubyfoo

I'm afraid I overcook the beggies, but at least he eats them now
6:40 am

crossy, come back here and tell me what you ate that still was twitching! (hence raw). It'd better be a... snake? Frog?

no, the repair shop - it's been recalled for what is probably not a problem but I should get it fixed anyway

we take our car to the mechanic... if we take it to the shop, we are trading it in for another car

actually it's the dealer that it goes to; we usually only call it the mechanic's if its a private place not at the dealer's
8:45 am

ah, yes, it has to go back to the dealer for manufacturer recalls
8:45 am

we take our car to the same mechanic, who is also the dealer we bought it from
8:46 am

I would love to get a new car but it isn't in the budget for the forseeable future
8:46 am

and when we trade up, they pay us out a lot more for the car than if we didn't take it to them to be serviced
8:46 am

we traded our car up with $19K to a new car (same model), otherwise we would have only got $12K if we didn't take it to them for service

the prick's son will be suspended for this one
9:17 am

in-school or out-of-school? Here, mostly the former, very, very rarely the latter anymore.
9:17 am

ugh. so savage.
9:17 am
mrpresident

I asked his son to take care of my son, he said he would (before all the crap started) so I know he knows Luke is vunerable
9:18 am
mrpresident

it was in school today... after the bell rang to go to class. they (prick's son and some friends) encountered him in the hallway and intimidated him
9:19 am
EvaNadine

i think dc meant how will the suspension be?
9:19 am
mrpresident

also, in this state, the school is responsible for the children from the time they leave the house to come to school, to the time they get home
9:19 am
EvaNadine

around here, they rarely do at-home suspensions anymore, as the kids see it as a free vacation.
9:19 am
mrpresident

he will be suspended and out of school. it will go on his record too
9:20 am
mrpresident

i agree with that eva... he should be in school, suspended from classes
9:20 am
EvaNadine

my brother used to get in trouble a LOT, and my parents had to argue for him to have an in-school suspension. among other things, he ended up having to clean the cafeteria during his lunchtime, in front of all his friends. that got his goat!
9:20 am
mrpresident

but they don't do that... the only punishment they can do is a detention for 1-2 hours in school
9:21 am
mrpresident

good idea eva!! i will suggest that!
9:21 am
EvaNadine

now in-school suspensions are the norm because they realized the truly bad kids were HAPPY to be out of school
9:23 am
dcseain

ISS works by having a room in the school where all suspended kids are gathered, and they can only to school work or read, and are marched as a group to bathrooms and a separate lunch period from others.
9:25 am
uusue2

My son got an in school suspension once, and the rule was that he could NOT work on schoolwork, which I thought was absolutely nuts.
9:29 am

that makes no sense, sue. Here, they get assignments from your teachers and you need to show you've done all the work before you can read or stare into space.

9:38 am

well, MrP, i hope principal listens to reason. it simply makes more sense to put the suspended kids to work at school instead of giving them the day off.
and frankly, a little embarassment in front of their friends doesnt hurt either!
9:39 am
dcseain

i agree with EvaNadine completely
9:40 am
doseffing

... the problem there is they'll end up working in a group (10 kids cleaning up the cafeteria at the end of lunch) in which case it becomes a badge of honour ... because we took on the authorities and we stood up to them
9:40 am
carleekat

hi all...they wont embarrass them infront of the other kids tho..that might hurt their little ego's..is why NO CHILD EVER fails a grade anymore...
9:41 am
EvaNadine

at that age, peer pressure works better than anything. and if their friends give them a little ribbing, maybe that will change their attitude -- i know my brother never again had to clean up that cafeteria! once was enough for him!
9:42 am
carleekat

i agree with dose... u have a select number of tasks....and u pair a kid or 2 up...clean washrooms... clean showers, clean cafeteria, take out all the cafeteria garbage to the dumpsters...and then here in canada....u wont get them doin ght tasks after school time cus the teachers wont stay after hours to supervise

... and another problem is the custodial unions ... you're taking my work ...
9:43 am
MollyL

The theory behind not being allowed to do homework during suspension is much the same as not giving out of school suspension. If they can do homework, it's like giving them "free homework time". That is why many schools give assignments to be done during suspension that are not homework.
9:44 am
carleekat

first offense 100o words, 2nd 2500 words, 3rd 15 000 words.... and have very specific topics about corporal punishment, or teamwork or the like
9:44 am
doseffing

... so many excellent ideas but they all have a fatal flaw ... how do you get the kid to write the essay? ... my pet peeve is not the kids ... it's the parents who don't want to bother raising their kids ... let the schools do it ... ...
9:45 am
carleekat

and should the essay have been assigned it goes onto the school record... and if does not achieve a minimal grade one of the core required credits must be repeated in order to graduate
9:45 am
EvaNadine

molly, i do agree on that. i think at my school, if you got in-school suspension, you were given additional assignments to get done during the in-school time. regular homework was still done at home.
9:46 am
MollyL

The essay idea is great. One problem, kids can't write properly anymore. And they can't spell properly either.
9:46 am
mrpresident

dosef! too true

dose..as a custodian.. it is not JUST an issue of "taking my work". Given the chemicals that we use (and are required to have training, WHMIS etc) how many parents - who are already expecting teachers to do the job of raising their kids - are going to sign off on a waiver sheet. Also, the children , because of the nature of their "punishment" are then being supervised by a custodian - who has no authority, nor protection under the school board (legally speaking) to do so
9:50 am
uusue2

He got suspension for being late.
9:50 am

exactly blue...

9:52 am

... the school where I saw this practice had the detention kids picking up the garbage that was left on the tables ... they were not cleaning ... and they were supervised by the custodian ... ... and I thought it had some merit ... but as a punishment ... it didn't cut it because they did a sloppy job and got to show off their anger with the school system in front of everyone ...

many teachers that I work with give up much of their personal time to allow for sports and stuff and if the detentions fall on their duty time, fine. but to give up their personal time to punish a child who will just be rewarded at home is a fruitless and frustrating battle

I am so happy! I was just looking for something else and came across a drawerful of my old drawings, woodcuts and painting plus some textile designs from 1968-78! My son had placed them carefully in a big drawer in an old chest in my studio. I'd forgotten all about them
12:31 pm

does anybody have clues for the 8 and 9?

How wonderful Ruby. Nice to find hidden treasures like that.
12:33 pm

... always a fun experience ... ... never did anything like that myself ... ... but it was neat to find my grandfather's diary when he was going on his first business trip out of town as a 19 year old working for his grandfather ... and thinking about the girl friend who went to the train with him ... ... married her when he got back
12:33 pm
MollyL

The 8 & 9 are li words. They mean a healing lotion or oil.
12:33 pm

... a rub for sore muscles ... and two rubs

12:50 pm
doseffing

... couldn't wait
12:52 pm
MollyL

Professional dance is a tough road. I used to work with someone whose daughter had to quit the Kirov because she was getting anorexic.
12:53 pm
doseffing

... my daughter's ballet mistress had to quit the Royal in London for the same reason ... she was just too tall and couldn't stay skinny enough to be lifted
12:54 pm
MollyL

Too tall is always a problem in dance. No matter how thin you get, your bones still weigh what they weigh.
12:54 pm
doseffing

... she was living on a diet of black coffee and lettuce
12:55 pm
MollyL

That makes me feel dizzy just thinking about it.
12:55 pm
doseffing

... she was 5'6" ... and that meant she had to stay under 110 which was still too heavy ... she quit at 115
12:59 pm
uusue2

hi again, all!
12:59 pm

and wow, dos, I am 5'3" and when I weighed 110 I wore a size 4 - she must have been really skinny!
1:00 pm

... it's amazing how skinny these kids are and I'll never know where they find the energy to practice and rehearse like they do because they're so small

hi, all. just wanted to let you know my mother has made it through her surgery, and will be in intensive care for a bit, which is standard, then she will be in the hospital for about a week. the doctors believe they got all of the cancer. praise God, she will be fine. Thanks for all your prayer support!
1:03 pm

Angel that is so good to hear. Continued prayers for your Mom and your family.
1:04 pm

I am scoffing up salsa and it is doing a great job on clearing my sinuses! Can I bill this to my insurance?!??!
1:43 pm
uusue2

I don't see why not, car! :-) wasabi is good for that too
1:44 pm
car.eeyore

I think if we find a "natural" remedy for an established ailment, whom we have seen a specialist for, we should be reimbursed for that remedy.
1:45 pm

I like the way you think Car. : )

a cooking question. If I want to carmelize onions what do I cook them in, oil (what type) or butter?
2:54 pm
periwinkle

hello all
2:55 pm
periwinkle

went clothes shopping today and got some good deals
2:56 pm
MollyL

Butter Peri.
2:56 pm
periwinkle

ok, ty
2:57 pm
periwinkle

but the zucchini I will cook in olive oil
2:57 pm
periwinkle

that is if I get motivated to cook anything for dinner
2:57 pm
MollyL

Low heat and you have to watch them. You can use oil, I find butter is better.
2:57 pm
periwinkle

just ate a whole bunch of popcorn all by myself :)
2:58 pm
periwinkle

it is tedious but I may do it or just saute them for a while. I am not the most patient person but I am getting better
2:58 pm
MollyL

Add a tiny, tiny bit of water if they start sticking to the bottom of the pan. And you have to stir them a lot.
2:59 pm
periwinkle

ty for the info Molly, would you like to come over and help me cook this evening :)
2:59 pm
periwinkle

about how long would it take if I use a large rgular onion?
3:01 pm
MollyL

Depends on how carmelized you want them. You cook them until they are the desired color and thickness.
3:01 pm
MollyL

I have to be in the right frame of mind to cook something that requires a lot of stirring. Like a roux.
3:01 pm
periwinkle

ok, will let you know what I decide to. it is a good thing that I am not hungry. had some licorice after the popcorn
3:02 pm
periwinkle

I may just saute them and call it a day.
3:02 pm
MollyL

Did you go to the movies?
3:02 pm
periwinkle

no, I just popped some Orville Redenbackers popcorn, it makes its own bowl
3:03 pm
periwinkle

have not been to the movies since 2005, watch DVD's and movies on TV
3:04 pm
MollyL

I'm pretty much a home movie watcher too. We go very infrequently. We quit microwave popcorn a while ago. I make it on the stove now. It makes the house smell so good.

i am right handed so that helps some
3:54 pm

well, at least you don't have to pay for it, although that is small comfort

It's always a plus to have an injury or discomfort on your non-dominant hand.

I have wretched veins, and they always have trouble getting IVs into me, but I have never had that problem! (just giant bruises...)
