Just because he doesn't eat it doesn't mean no one does. When I still ate meat, liver was my favourite, so you're barking up the wrong tree. |

We have some trial stretches, they're waiting to see how it takes to our climate and snow ploughs, but it's super to drive on, really nice and quiet. |

The topic made me start looking and I was actually surprised and how there was NO debris in the trees, even in places where I would think refuse might collect. So yeah, I probably got a laugh out of seeing a bag in a tree at some point, there's one! nancy |

If I could find tripe I'd try my hand at making that soup from scratch. I'd like to try steak & kidney pie, too. I can't find kidneys. I checked at the small independent meat market in town. The woman who co-owns it with her husband is British. She told me they can't find a supplier for any kind of kidneys. I'm not squeamish about things like this. I make oxtail soup at least once a year. Last year I was talking with the man who lives across the street and mentioned I was making oxtail soup. He asked, "What's that?" Well... it's soup made with the meaty part of a cows tail. They're called oxtails. I think that's the first time I've ever seen somone shudder. LOL Caveat: you won't catch me eating beef/calves liver. I have tried it and simply don't like it. Both of my parents loved liver & onions. Not me. I don't like chicken livers, either. Then again, I'm not a huge fan of poultry so that's probably got something to do with it. Jill |

I always think of a Czech friend whose mother cooked tripe every Tuesday and the house stunk of it until Friday. The only time I ever ate it was in a Mexican buffet in Colorado in the form of menudo. It was delicious, but I had to spit out all the gristly bits. > Caveat: you won't catch me eating beef/calves liver.Â* I have tried it > and simply don't like it.Â* Both of my parents loved liver & onions.Â* Not > me. > > I don't like chicken livers, either.Â* Then again, I'm not a huge fan of > poultry so that's probably got something to do with it. I often eat liver pate. It's delicious. I don't eat liver. It's the texture I don't like. It's like chewing suede. |

LOL My garbage can is not supplied by the company that picks it up. It's not a municipal waste service provided by the city or county. I pay a sanitation company. (I split the cost with a neighbor which works out well for both of us.) I can't do a thing about the troubles people have with garbage cans provided by a municipality. Dumped by hydraulic arms into a truck. BUT... if you buy/supply your own garbage can, here's a simple suggestion. Buy one with handles that flip up to lock the lid down. I've been using that type for the last 20 years (Dataw has nothing to do with it). The lid won't fly off on a windy day. If the can tips over chances are the wind won't blow stuff all up and down the street, either. Jill |

Birds and squirrels will use pretty much anything they can find to build and fortify their nests. They're very resourceful. If it means they use bits of plastic bags to help make the nest insulated and waterproof, why not? They're nature's recyclers. Jill |

Hot and Sour soup is very easy to prepare and you can buy the ingredients from most any stupidmarket, you don't need an Asian market for those ingredients... and many are available canned in the aisle with Asian foods, and it's not necessary to follow a recipe exactly, especially not for any soup. I make hot and sour soup often and never exactly the same twice. I've found the only ingredient usually unavailable in ordinary markets are fresh bean sprouts, however for soup canned works. The only essential ingredient missing from this recipe is white pepper, fresh ground is best... I usually add julienned pork or chicken: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/hot_and_sour_soup/ >Don't eat it often but I decided earlier on that in the case of >this soup, I'm much better buying it fresh made from a good >chinese place.

Hot and sour soup is not too difficult to make. You can make it with dried shiitake mushrooms, canned bamboo shoots, tofu, and chicken stock. You can probably just get some chicken stock and add vinegar and black pepper to taste. The soup is not served with any crackers over here but you can make your own by deep frying wonton wrappers. Fried whole, it's used as a fancy garnish but it would make a pretty good snack. We use the ones sliced into strips in Chinese chicken salad. It's also a popular snack and sold in stores under the name "One Ton Chips." http://www.junkfoodguy.com/2012/08/2....jv30s1se.dpbs |
