I;m not sure what you mean by the 'modern Popeye the sailor' but I can
assure you even in the 50's his posts here would have gotten him
busted. Definately by the mid 80's and he'd get jail time potentially
now if he said some of those things to a co-worker.

The Case Boner Troll also doesn't seem to be in jail, even though
there are laws against stalking and inciting hatred, which I think is
worse than what Popeye does.

Except the ones that are native 'https://www.bgci.org/education/1774/

Among them
Macadamia nut (Macadamia integrifolia)
The macadamia nut has long been eaten by the Aboriginal people of
southern Queensland, where this smooth, tasty nut grows naturally.
Macadamia nuts have been grown commercially on the islands of Hawaii
since 1900 and many cultivars have been produced. They have only been
grown commercially in Australia since 1963. Salted, candied and
chocolate-covered macadamia nuts are available throughout Australia and
are also exported.

There's also a lot of native bush tucker, which is/was traditionally
eaten by Aborigines. There have been attempts to grow some of that
commercially, but it hasn't taken off to the point that I see it in
supermarkets.

A lot of Aussie crayfish tails were exported (frozen) to the US some
years ago, where they would appear on "Surf & Turf" plates as lobster tails!

He always has had. If it wasn't a recipie card for 50 or more servings,
he didn't know it. REal Navy cooks are a LOT better at it.

If he did even half of what he claims, he would end up looking like
Bluto got hold of him.

Even canned spinach couldn't save him from a trip to the emergency room.

Really??? Most of the guys I know who watch football prefer NFL games

I don't think that's true. What about pawpaws?

I guess they do. Food eaten frozen has never appealed to me. In the hottest
weather with no AC, I have been known to have a drink with a lot of ice in
it and once at the zoo in Washington DC, I had two frozen lemonades. But as
a general rule, I prefer things that are not frozen.

I love ice cream and often have it for pudding (dessert?)

I think so. I have gotten pretty good at knowing what seasonings he likes.

===

Our latest dog has had bad stomach problems all her life, so her food varies
from chicken and rice, to meat and veg, depending on how she is.

It can be a struggle sometimes but she is worth it. And she NEVER makes any
mess in the house. If she needs to go out she will even come and wake me
up.

Not bad for a dog that came from that house with no training at all.

I used to but I dropped the dough from a spoon. Actually IIRC, it was more
like taking a spoonful of dough then slipping it into the boiling water to
release it.

Aye that is what I used to do. My daughter gave it to me but as I said,
I've never used it.

It's actually a dessert soup that would work well when the air is chilly -
so you might. It's cold and wet over here but probably not cold and wet like
where you are.

Here's what I had for lunch today. At a price of $7.26, it might be somewhat
under-priced.

That's 8 spicy fried chicken wings. 4 of them were sweet Thai chili wings. That purple thing in the back is roasted Okinawan sweet potato.

We're not expecting snow anytime soon but it's pretty cold on this rock. It's a two blanket night. The blankets are not very good. They are rather thin and lightweight.

That purple thing in the back is roasted Okinawan sweet potato.

That sweet one sounds good ... but you know how I am about
spicy stuff

A friend of mine loves VERY spicy stuff. He was asking me
how to make ravioli and I showed him where to buy the rack/cutter thing. He
then tells me he is going to fill them with very hot, highly spiced filling
.... *rolls eyes* I reckon he will end up with no taste buds left)


We're not expecting snow anytime soon but it's pretty cold on this rock.

thin and lightweight.

Treat yourself to an electric blanket That will keep you
nice and warm)

Ok you 5. I'm curious. When you cook for your dogs, is your
cooking all that they eat, or do you keep some dry dog food
available during the day? My collie had dry food available but a
can of meat each evening. Didn't cook for him but he absolutely
loved the canned Ken-l-Ration meaty food.

And Mr.Kitty ate dried food (always available), a can of meaty
catfood each evening (he only liked seafood flavors), then
occasionally I would prepare a special meal for him.

Even ferrets...always had dried food available, I did let them
check out any meal that I made for myself but they rarely ate
any....they just appreciated the offer to share. Then of course,
I did "cook" their warm gravy meal each day towards the end and
even had to hand feed each with a spoon. Darn spoiled little
ones!

Hand feeding was a labor of love but they loved it. It was a
serious bonding time for all.

Anyway...back to the original question...when you cook for your
dogs, is that all they eat?

In my case, yes. I explained she doesn't have a sturdy stomach. I will
remind you where she came from. A house with 42 dogs and 2 cats. Goodness
knows what she ate there, but she was skin and bone when she came to us. I
like to keep her happy and healthy and I have all my dogs over the years.

And vice versa. When I go out to eat I tend to order things I
