Do you guys have a fish called Flathead there? It's one of my favourites. Just curious... Since I have a ton of cauliflower and broccoli ATM, I plan to make cauliflower soup and some sort of potato, carrot and broccoli gratin... with bacon, of course. |

Occasionally I get fillets or tails from Victoria Market. |

I think I will run out and pick up some salmon also. Quick and easy and good. We don't eat until ~8 so I have time yet. I may try sf's recipe with the coconut oil. I also have one tomato from the ones that I planted late this year that has ripened (yay, finally) so we will eat that. Greenery to be determined, but we usually eat lots of it, maybe swiss chard, kale, I will see what looks good at the store. Nellie |

The egg looks perfect to me. We call an egg cooked like that a poached egg, which I find can go with all sorts of things. I made cauliflower soup yesterday and will have a bowl for breakfast soon - with a poached egg in the middle. Done that a few times now, I really like it. |

Our usual go to meal then was pancakes with syrup made of brown sugar, water an Mapeline. But the one time my dad bought a huge package of ham flavored TVP. That was the worst stuff ever and we had to eat it at every meal because we had so much of it. My mom added it to whatever she was cooking to try to stretch it. When my dad finally got his hours back, we threw a party to dispose of the TVP. |

We have hard cooked eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, huevos rancheros, shirred eggs, tacos, egg on a roll, chilaquiles. Sometimes, I will cook breakfast for him and I will have a banana and toast. As long as he wants eggs, I do not mind cooking them. Becca |

My sister had chickens, but she did not have a rooster, my mother kept telling her that the chickens would lay more eggs if there was a rooster around. I have no idea if that is true, I assumed it was a myth. Becca |

Depending on the size of your house a centrally located window-unit could possibly cool most of it down. I absolutely could not sleep without AC. When a component on my new (2010) HVAC unit broke it took four days to get the part from the factory. I was miserable. The company that installed the unit loaned me a portable (stand-alone) AC so I could at least cool down the bedroom at night. Jill |

We have no place to put a unit outside. We can't vent out a window nor can we put in a window unit or put one through a wall. The past two years were so cold in the summer that we actually had the heat on. This summer for whatever reason is hotter than usual. We had a hot one when we moved here 10 years ago and another hot one the year that Angela went to summer school. But most summers, the hottest temp we get is 70, save for perhaps a few days here and there. Usually 2 weeks at the most and not all at once where it gets hotter than that. |

They're verticle and crank open. Not windows with a regular sash you can just slide up to open the window. The screens can't easily be removed, from the inside, either. They are blocked by the security sensors. BUT... they can be removed from the outside (with proper tools) if necessary. When my central air went out a few years ago I was able to use a portable AC unit similar to this one: http://www.globalindustrial.com/prod...A&gclsrc=aw.ds or tiny URL: http://tinyurl.com/nq3rozp If I can do it it, anyone can. :-D Jill |

Don't you dare defend her on this one). A few weeks ago you were complaining about the heat. Now you are complaining about it again. You can't even sleep at night as it's so hot. The fans only blow hot air. You are going shopping often just to walk around in an air-conditioned store. Quit making excuses. So what if past years haven't been so hot. It's hot this summer and it hot now. Your temps will be hot for another 10 days too. http://www.weather.com/weather/tenda...le+WA+USWA0395 You can just remain miserable for the next 10 days and probably for the month of August too or you can fix this problem today and be happy. If the heat and humidity bothers you so much, just go buy a small window unit and enjoy the rest of your summer. No excuse for not solving your problem in a fairly inexpensive way. Put it in one room and at least enjoy one cool room. To cool down the rest of your house to a comfortable level, put a fan in the room doorway blowing air into the rest of the house. You could at least have one comfortable room. > > Yep. The only house in the world that is apparently impossible to > install airconditioning in - and guess who owns it? If she was my daughter complaining in this way, I would break my foot off in her ass. This complaint and all the reasons why she can't do this is just not sane. Enjoy your summer hot weather, Julie. |

Ducts can be added, holes made in walls, evap units in attics or ceilings, just for starters. I've never seen the AC units in the houses at Colonial Williamsburg, but they snuck them in for climate control and preservation. Completely hidden from view as you tour the houses. |

This was a dumpy little Ranch and it was remodeled. As I said, there is no wall where we could put the AC through. In this room, most of the exterior wall space is taken up with windows or a sliding door and what is not has furniture there that can't go anywhere else. > I've never seen the AC units in the houses at Colonial Williamsburg, but > they snuck them in for climate control and preservation. Completely > hidden from view as you tour the houses. That could be. But if you don't live in this part of the country, I wouldn't expect you to understand. I own mostly long or 3/4 length tops because that is what I wear most of the year. Our temps are usually somewhere between 50-70 although it has been known to get colder in the winter. And sometimes it gets hotter in the summer. We are having a freak week now with unseasonably high temps. Just wouldn't make sense to go to a whole lot of expense and effort to put in AC since most years it would never get used. We've been noticing how many vehicles have no AC. A lot of them. That's one thing I would never do again. My first car didn't have it. Some people think those that have it are nuts. |

I had whiting for lunch the other day, first time ever, and I liked it. The recipe was to flour the filets, flash fry them in oil, and meanwhile combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and parsley. When the fish is done, pour it over the fish and cover it for five minutes. Very good.
Tonight I made coho salmon with a grapefruit- shallot sauce. It was very good, a nice summer dish with a fruit flavored fish and some nice white rice.. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/e...ce-recipe.html |
