8:13 am

We're having a heat wave here in CT

8:14 am

saanichcat

8:15 am

hokie carla

8:15 am

saanichcat

oh welki that is miserable, are you warm enough

8:16 am

saanichcat

looks like carla is in the right zone!

8:16 am

MollyL

All you warm temperature US kids keep chanting "mild winter, mild winter, mild winter".

8:17 am

welki

yes, saanich, and grateful for it. winds are kicking up and more snow is expected. glad we don't have to go anywhere today

8:18 am

saanichcat

ooh that is miserable and fingers crossed your power stays on

8:18 am

welki

heh, we were on the list for a scheduled power outage this afternoon, but the electric company cancelled it

8:19 am

origami

They would have to be sadists to go forward with it in that weather.

8:19 am

welki

it's been that kind of week, ori - water had to be shut off for pipe repairs tuesday and wednesday

8:21 am

saanichcat

I hope you will be fixed up for the winter welki, I hear it's supposed to be a cold one

8:22 am

origami

I hope all of your services continue to function, welki!

8:23 am

welki

sometimes it's like living the little house on the prairie life :D

8:23 am

origami

At least you don't have to use an outhouse 😀

8:24 am

welki

a blessing *lol*

8:26 am

welki

fyi - fessite is not a penance seeking mineral

8:26 am

saanichcat

!!!

8:27 am

mael

it's going to be 60 degrees here, probably break some records. Sigh.

8:33 am

MollyL

Sigh? You would prefer cold?

8:34 am

bichon

Cold means normal for December

8:34 am

saanichcat

it's easier to warm up than cool down I find

8:35 am

MollyL

I am just fine with any weather that does not require a coat.

8:41 am

hokie carla

I would be fine living in 72F weather year round

8:42 am

hokie carla

and when I was a teenager I used to tell my mom I was moving to Alaska. my, how times have changed.

8:42 am

MollyL

For me, the older I have gotten, the less cold has appealed to me.

8:44 am

mael

I'd prefer the temperatures to be seasonal

8:45 am

mael

which here in MA is cold in December

8:46 am

MollyL

Oh, you are in Massachusetts. Y'all like it cold with two feet of snow.
😊😊

8:46 am

mael

I certainly do!

8:46 am

mael

we have had no snow at all this year

8:47 am

MollyL

Do you have to shovel when it snows, or does someone do it for you? I find that makes a difference in those who like snow and those who don't.

8:53 am

mael

I shovel

8:53 am

mael

and have a 1/4 mile driveway to plough

8:54 am

mael

but I much prefer dealing with snow than dealing with a cold, dreary, brown, wet winter without snow

8:54 am

mael

nevermind the climate implications

8:57 am

mael

and, to be honest, if I never wanted to deal with snow I wouldn't live in the northeast :)

8:58 am

BzznBea

I'm a no snow person.

8:58 am

hokie carla

I'd rather have snow than no snow if it's going to be cold.

9:00 am

mael

precisely hokie

9:01 am

hokie carla

but I'd also rather be in 72F year round 😁

9:01 am

mael

but I'd also rather not above average temps months after month, given the givens

9:01 am

BzznBea

No 10's called last night. Interesting.

9:02 am

hokie carla

wow, and there are 5!

9:02 am

hokie carla

that is interesting indeed

9:02 am

mael

I still haven't found any

9:03 am

hokie carla

I haven't even found a 7, but I still have 308 left.

9:07 am

mael

9:08 am

MollyL

You are close Carla

9:08 am

hokie carla

9:09 am

MollyL

She swears

9:09 am

hokie carla

9:11 am

mael

9:11 am

hokie carla

10:07 am

hempshow

10:07 am

mael

10:13 am

rururocks

10:15 am

Justin

does anyone have innovative ways they're improving their personal carbon footprints?

10:19 am

hempshow

i've tried in earnest to reduce my meat intake, particularly red meats ... the soy blends to replace them are just as tasty and the scientists say they're more nutritional

10:19 am

BzznBea

Tell us what you are doing, Justin.

10:19 am

hempshow

the texture is a little off still, but the flavor is delightful

10:20 am

hempshow

10:22 am

BzznBea

Do you have good mass transit where you live, dose?

10:23 am

MollyL

Just reading the words soy loaf makes me gag a little

10:23 am

doseffing

... it was great before the pandemic but it has been cut back ... but it's still pretty good

10:23 am

rururocks

i guess if you're stoned enough soy loaves would taste pretty good :D

10:23 am

MollyL

You have a point Ru

10:23 am

BzznBea

Soylent green

10:24 am

rururocks

I love the name hempshow makes me laugh every day

10:26 am

cybernan

just looked the chog over --- don't think there are enough spices in my cupboard to camouflage the taste of soy

10:28 am

hempshow

i guess i am alone in my soy joy

10:28 am

rururocks

I think so hemp

10:29 am

lyv4ever

I'm with ya Hemp!

10:30 am

periwinkle

10:30 am

saanichcat

maybe it's all the goop poeple put on to disguise the taste ru

10:30 am

10:30 am

periwinkle

10:32 am

rururocks

I cut back on red meat.. but will have it going out sometimes. I'm not really a fish person so I tend to eat a lot of veggies and chicken.

10:33 am

BzznBea

Same with us, ru. I don't like a lot of chemicals and additives in my food.

10:33 am

cybernan

I don't like that li 4/4 has become acceptable as a substitute for li 5/16

10:33 am

MollyL

Red meat has gotten too expensive. I can't believe what I paid for my Christmas beef tenderloin this year.

10:33 am

rururocks

I noticed that I sleep a lot better not eating meat at night

10:33 am

rururocks

at night for dinner that is

10:34 am

rururocks

I can believe it molly Beef is ridiculously expensive right now

10:35 am

cybernan

we have a meat market here that sells only organic beef, chicken, pork - it is a lot leaner and less watery than the stuff in the supermarkets.

10:35 am

BzznBea

I've been buying beef and pork from local farmers.

10:36 am

BzznBea

nan, that word is a dated from. the li5 replaced it.

10:37 am

MollyL

I wish I had those options. No meat markets or local farmers around where I live. I guess I could go see what the Amish have.

10:37 am

rururocks

be careful molly.. they might convert you :D

10:38 am

cybernan

our Christmas gift to ourselves this year is a lobster dinner on Christmas Eve and Beef Wellington on New Years day. I picked up the filet yesterday -- $67.00/poud!!! Hate to think what the lobster will be.

10:38 am

hempshow

now i'm salivating, might need to forgo the soy for lunch and spring for some grassfed, never frozen beef

10:39 am

MollyL

Good eating in Nan's house

10:39 am

BzznBea

A high school friend created a huge resource on FB for Kansas farmers to advertise their products.

10:39 am

rururocks

I'll bring the wines nan what time should I be there.. I'm vaccinated and boosted :D

10:39 am

BzznBea

Wish every state had one like ti.

10:39 am

MollyL

Ru, the Amish bless themselves and make their children turn away when they see me coming.

10:39 am

rururocks

lol

10:40 am

cybernan

maybe they are afraid you will try to convert them :)

10:40 am

MollyL

Well, I am the expert on all things sin-related.

I ordered a prime rib for our 50th wedding anniv. dinner with daughter and family - I know how much it was last year and I am aware I will have sticker shock. My daughter purchased king crab legs for NYE $250 last year $375 this year. We have wine thanks to Black Friday deals.

10:44 am

cybernan

that pa was a twisty one

10:45 am

BzznBea

We do rib eyes for Christmas dinner. I will purchase some that are thinner than what we usually buy.

10:45 am

10:45 am

rururocks

I'm going to do a soy loaf

10:45 am

clg47

all of the 10's are twisty but they all twist in the same direction.

10:46 am

BzznBea

LOL! Cover it with ketchup.

10:47 am

cybernan

feed it to the dog and buy something else -- on second thought, the dog probably doesn't like soy either

10:47 am

rururocks

I think my dog will eat anything

10:47 am

MollyL

Can you imagine going to someone's house for a holiday meal and having them tell you dinner is soy loaf? I would develop a sudden illness and have to leave.

10:47 am

hempshow

10:48 am

rururocks

this grid has suddenly gotten s

10:48 am

BzznBea

rururocks

10:48 am

hempshow

if not soy, has anyone seen the latest trends with "mixed bugs" being eaten for snacks? it makes my skin crawl but i see ads for it all the time on amazon

10:49 am

hempshow

supposedly good protein replacements but hard to give up my almonds for a cricket

10:49 am

rururocks

oh god

10:49 am

clg47

I know people that make tofu tacos and they are tasty so maybe you should try the soy loaf

10:49 am

MollyL

I like the scene in Breaking Bad where the Mom fixes soy bacon for breakfast and the kid says "This smells like band-aids"

10:49 am

BzznBea

fried tofu is good.

10:50 am

rururocks

so is fried sheetrock bea

10:50 am

BzznBea

I got sausage bacon the other day. It was okay.

10:51 am

rururocks

Consumption of soy foods is not good for men. It stimulates the production of estrogen and that is detrimental to the male body. throws one completely out of whack.

is this where great minds think alike applies?

11:01 am

Kaplan the Magne

We have been vegetarian for all of our lives, since teenage, and you can do a hell of a lot of good feasting with soy, seitan etc. It's all how you cook it, spices, combinations.

11:01 am

Justin

people are going to have to adapt to a diet consisting primarily of soy, secondarily of bugs, and tertiarily of compressed/flavored air

11:01 am

I have no reason to eat meat.

high estrogen levels in a male can cause low testosterone production, growth of breast tissue, reduced sex drive, lower energy levels, a skewed muscle to fat ratio, the inability to effectively burn fat, and many other detrimental things.

11:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

There are good veggie burgers and not so good ones. Just don't expect meat juice running down your chin.

11:05 am

MollyL

If I ever decide to go vegetarian, I will just stick to vegetables. Fake meat does not appeal to me.

Was the estrogen study done in Japan or China? Or was it done in Kansas?

11:05 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think my favorite sandwich (deli) was tongue on rye with coleslaw when I was a kid. Once my mother brought a whole tongue to the table, and I made the connection. Tongue is a TONGUE? That was it.

As long as you didn't eat the liverwurst.

11:06 am

Beans and grains make hearty stews.

a pangolin tongue is quite long, might be a fun delicacy to try sometime

11:07 am

I like liverwurst. Haven't had it in ages but maybe I'll buy some.

11:07 am

Kaplan the Magne

When you go to the delicatessen store- don't try the liverwurst. To the tune of Down by the Riverside.

11:07 am

hempshow

although pangolins have a bad rep now with the coronavirus

11:07 am

are there unmentionable things other than liver in liverwurst?

11:08 am

All I know is, I had to remove soy from my diet and had to have testosterone replacement therapy for 5 years and I still have a skewed metabolism.

It'll make your insides awful sore/don't try the liverwurst...Now the corned beef you can trust, pickled herring in a must/ and the something salami is AOK

Nan, Don't Buy The Liverwurst is a parody song by Alan Sherman (He of Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah fame)

Some things are kosher and some are not. Despite my unreasoning love for Fran Drescher, another girl from Flushing, I have never eaten shrimp or lobster.

11:14 am

cybernan

oh Kaplan -- you should try both - they are delicious

11:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

They are not kosher and I have no interest in them.

11:14 am

Liver is high in protein too and you are not going to catch me eating that either.

11:14 am

rururocks

shrimp aren't kosher? I didn't know that

11:14 am

Dorens

Wouldn't be delicious to everyone, Nan

11:14 am

Ru, it was a domino effect. Soy consumption increased estrogen, which decreased testosterone, which messed up my metabolic system. I am diabetic and everything is interrelated, you know. The knee bone is connected to the neck bone.

11:15 am

cybernan

me neither -- I wonder why?

11:15 am

If cooked correctly, liver can be very good.

11:15 am

MollyL

There is something in the Old Testament about not eating seafood

11:15 am

rururocks

oh wow.. ging.. that's interesting..

11:15 am

Dorens

I personally love them but they're not allowed in Kosher diets -- Fish is something else though

11:15 am

cybernan

but they all fished and presumeably ate their catch

11:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

I know that there are varying ranges of practice among my people, but it says in Leviticus that shellfish is off the table, as are pigs. Animal must have cloven hooves. I tried a bit in college, guilt sent me to vegetarianism.

11:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

But a lot of Jews fill up the Chinese restaurants after Yom Kippur, so there are different ways of responding to the forbidden.

11:17 am

cybernan

but does it say why it is off the table?

11:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

My mother ate bacon but not in the house. My father's background was more traditional.

11:17 am

MollyL

I used to work with a guy who was one of those "I believe everything in the Bible" people and he didn't eat seafood. He had a great convoluted explanation for his many tattoos though, (Leviticus says no tattoos)

11:18 am

Dorens

fish is in a different category from seafood. Don't know why

11:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

It doesn't have to say why, it just is a book of laws. People can rationalize that it's for health reasons. People do what they do.

11:18 am

Dorens

My mother in law would let me put butter on my baked potato (I hated margarine) but I had to do it on the counter, only then could bring it to the table.

11:18 am

cybernan

Have you ever noticed that most diets stemming from religious beliefs ban foods that spoil easily and cause severe illness if not cooked and eaten promptly.

11:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

Must have fins and scales, not shells, because I am the Lord.

11:19 am

MollyL

Fish don't have cloven hooves.

11:19 am

your MIL sounds like a doozy doren

11:19 am

Nan, I have never heard of anything like that.

11:19 am

Dorens

But then again she made terrific lasagna, not only mixing dairy with meat but using pork sausage. Go figure

11:19 am

clg47

I worked for a Sephardic family and we enjoyed prawns, shrimp, crabs and once we had Chinese for lunch and my boss said it was 'kosher' pork. Do you follow the Leviticus rules on fabric? That one is hard in this day and age.

11:19 am

hempshow

are any plants off limits in the Old Testament?

11:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

Fish is neutral, neither meat nor vegetable (parve) a babble word. Fish is differentiated from shellfish and kinds of meats.

11:20 am

rururocks

I'm sure implants are hemp

11:20 am

MollyL

Probably the kind of plants that you smoke

11:20 am

MollyL

Okay, fire up your doobs then kids

11:21 am

hurshy

the only plant that was off limits was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. after that i don't think there were any.

11:21 am

Kaplan the Magne

Not combining linen and wool? I am not ultra orthodox. You can stone me to death. The important basics are keeping the Sabbath and the dietary laws, and then everything breaks down into sects and community practice.

11:21 am

rururocks

Dr. God is a zztop fan.. I would guess he'd be pot friendly

11:22 am

cybernan

Kaplan I wasn't saying that my theory was a law in some religious rites -- just that if you look at the faiths that have dietary restrictions, that seems to be the case. I thihk that a lot of things that became "law" were the result of ancient religious leaders tryig to protect their people.

11:22 am

MollyL

He was Dr. Gosh the other day.

11:22 am

Kaplan the Magne

No plants off limits but you have to wash romaine lettuce very carefully because it may contain bugs that are not kosher.

MollyL

Bugs can be kosher or not kosher?

11:24 am

Nan, there are different interpretations, but it definitely makes a separation. For example, my ultra orthodox nephew wouldn't eat in my house because our vegetarian food might not have the right rabbinical certification.

I think Kap is speaking specifics, whereas I am generalizing

11:25 am

A lot of second generation Jews liked to break with tradition. Again you get the confident Jew Fran Drescher loving her shrimp (not Mr Sheffield). There is also pleasure in the forbidden.

11:26 am

MollyL

He really is horrid

11:26 am

Dorens

I had friends who were observant; wouldn't eat at my house even if I served kosher everything, because my pots and pans weren't designated for meat and/or dairy.

11:27 am

My nephew has 5 kids and a lot of relatives. He is the only fundamentalist and Republican in my family of origin, and some things we don't talk about.

Who is Bubbles?

11:28 am

The other basic is not mixing meat and dairy, so you hear orthodox kids saying that their last wish is to have a cheeseburger. I would go for the world peace and lose 10 pounds direction myself.

11:36 am

My brother became a rabbi and it was obnoxious for everyone until my mother bought in to separate dishes. I have in my life been very observant, and not observant at all, but have a lifetime of experience with different groups. The only group of Jews that feels foreign to me is Reform. They were largely German Jews in America, and their first official dinner served tree, that is tr4, deliberately.

Utensils and dishes need to be Kosher also. People I know have 2 dishwashers to keep them seperate.

11:59 am

If there are strictly observant, no- only Kosher restaurants. But as I said people make their own rules, bringing the kosher-at-home-but-we-eat-out people who my mother thought were hypocrites.

12:00 pm

there's always the JCC, but chinese works too.

Making a kitchen strictly Kosher for Passover is a nightmare.

if your costco is anything like ours, you don't want to go --- they are no longer restricting numbers of people in the store at one time and it was a mob seem --- even in that huge warehouse there were so many people it was impossible to stay 6 feet away from anyone.
