You made me think of a place in Reno, NV. As you walked from the arch
with "Smallest little city" blah blah..., it was on the right side of
the street, about 100 feet from the arch.

I don't remember the name, but it was a tiny little BBQ place. Very
clean and PACKED with customers. Mostly locals. They had only a few
meals on the menu and no substitutions were allowed.

The typical meal was something like BBQ ribs, Cole Slaw, Potatoes and
enough sauce on the ribs to float a ship in.

Everything they served was simple food and homemade by the ton I
think. It only seated about 20 people, so most got take-out like I
did. When they handed you your bag to go, the damn thing weighed about
5 pounds.

Heart Attack City, but insanely good BBQ and their potato salad was to
die for.

Damn I miss that place! That was about 1980. I worked in a magnesium
mine in Gabbs, NV and drove into Reno pretty often.

That place was one of the reasons I had my bypasses...(almost worth
it).

They're more of a craft project. I sure as heck don't put them out to look
at. Oh and to put an end to this story? I undercooked them so they were
inedible. I don't know how it happened. I brought them to a boil then let
them simmer on low heat for a half an hour. They should have been done.
They weren't. This is the second time that has happened. So they're gone.

If you've never made your own fried rice, it's as easy as can be and
you get to put *exactly* what you like in it!

My Wok is my most used appliance. I use it for something almost daily.

I make fried rice by the gallon. I eat it "as is" or as an addition to
stews, soups and other dishes. Small portions of it can be made with
specific ingredients that match a specific meal also. Like putting
mint in it for a lamb meal or masala in it for an Indian meal.

Fried rice also makes a fine stuffing for cabbage rolls or meat rolls
as the ingredients in it can be any of hundreds of items.

I eat only once a day and it works for my health issues and keeps my
Lab results where they should be. I can eat almost anything I like at
that rate.

I've learned to stay off organ meats and crustaceans. They jack my Lab
numbers like crazy. I eat shrimp, but try to limit it to about once a
month.

I usually make soup for one of two reasons. I have leftovers I want to use
up or I have a lot of produce that is about to go bad and want to use it up.
Or we are sick and need chicken soup. Once in a great while I will make it
just to be making it.

Most restaurants do not make their soup from scratch and it almost always
has wheat in it so daughter can't have it. And I can't have quite a lot of
it because of my allergies. If there is any pasta it is out because there's
almost always egg. And it is usually too high in carbs for me. I do eat
black bean soup though, as I said.


I have to watch out for garlic. I am not allergic but it gives me horrid
stomach pains.

I love beets!

I love all of those things.

I love coconut.

I am not big into mushrooms but I do use them for some things.

My numbers have come down. Weight hasn't.

To me it can be a real chore at times. I need to eat but there are times I
just can't because stomach won't let me.

I don't do either.

Why consider anything other than Julie obviously is not well. Any
emotionally stable person would have a problem thinking of more foods
that they don't like than they have fingers on one hand... not for a
second do I believe that Julie has any food allergies, that she is
diabetic, or that she was ever a dancer, that her daughter is a
dancer, or even that she has a daughter.
 
do one egg, warm just enough so they are a bit above room temp, most of mine
like the oo but trudi prefers butter... but then she will eat anything with
butter if it is a bit warm, i have two that if i peal one and hold it in the
middle between my thumb and index finger they will each eat from the end
until they meet in the middle, Lee

I decided a few months ago to go all-electric in my home. I had the
500 gallon propane monstrosity taken off my property and converted to
electric heat for our short winters. The difference in monthly cost
was huge. I went from $1500 per/year for propane to an average of $30
a month additional for electric, over-all.

I have yet to find the right electric stove/oven for me. I'm also
using counter-top appliances mostly, and the microwave when possible.
I've learned to cook in a large toaster-oven and can turn out dishes I
never thought of using it for in the past.

It will be nice to have a full-sized oven again when I find the one I
want.

I almost always have leftovers as the meals are just too much for me
to eat at one time. If some of the meal reheats better than some of
it, I will make sure to eat the part that doesn't reheat as well while
at the restaurant. At the Chinese restaurant, I will order another
side of fried rice to take home as I really like theirs.

Didn't make any Easter eggs, but I don't see why they can't be eaten.
And deviled eggs, plain hard boiled eggs, egg salad - they're good any
day!

We have owls in the Seatac area. I think it depends on whether you
have any green areas near your house. Our house is surrounded on 3
sides by trees. We can often hear an owl hooting at night, sometimes
more than one. A few years ago, shortly after midnight on Christmas, I
was passing through the living room and saw a large owl land on the
deck. My mom and I watched it for about 20 minutes before it flew
away. Usually, we only see the hawks, and other smaller birds. But we
do hear the owls on a regular basis.

You can draw on the egg with a melted wax pen and when it's done, take
that brown egg
and put it in vinegar or an acid bath for awhile. The brown will be
removed.
The longer you leave it in the vinegar, the lighter it will get.
Then melt the wax to remove it in the microwave or over a candle and
wipe off the melted wax.
Then you'll have a white egg with a brown design.

I really like my toaster oven, which is a bit larger than the normal
little ones. I rarely use the large oven anymore. I got it at a yard
sale for a whole $15.

I don't eat enough hard boiled eggs to make it worthwhile, so what I
did when my kids were little was dye unboiled eggs. We did it for a
couple of weeks before Easter. It was always nice to open the door
and pick up a pretty egg to use.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

You're also very entertaining :-) ... but back to eggs... just kids wax
crayons, melted? Do you have any tool/mould to hold the egg you're
decorating? I have to have a go at this. I have a thing about fancy eggs.

When my kids were very small I acquired a set of little pale-wood
decorated eggs on a loop of string (from Poland, the patterns are like
yours but simpler) ..every year they loved to cut a branch, stick it in a
vase and hang the eggs from it for Easter. My other egg collection
(started eeven earlier) is out all year round in a big wide bowl, each
made from a different kind of stone or glass.

Some do serve tinned/reconstituted crap, but they don't call it "home
made soup" because A) too many Scottish customers would know the
difference,and B)getting caught out matters because the deception would
be illegal here.
