salad.

That does looks good. Yours sounds good too. We had supper at my
brother's and SiL baked chicken breasts stuffed with goat cheese and
kale. Very tasty.

Nice change from ham.

Went to my daughter's neighbor's for Easter. Five of us and I just
finished the ham I brought home today too. We all had a nice share of
leftovers.

Don´t worry about it. My email has been valid for 25 years, but if I
don´t recognize the poster, I delete without reading. That may already have
been done.
In response to another thread, I generally get over a hundred emails a day.
Maybe one or two are valid.
I´ve probably received less than twenty emails from Usenet posters over the
years, but now, I´m on the lookout.
If I identify her post, I´ll send a winkey. That´s providing that her
email address is valid. And here´s a winkey for you ;-) and a smile
:-)

Looking good!! The potatoes almost look like some sort of bread at
first glance; nice asparagus, too.

Tonight it's going to be Ninja Foodi "pulled pork barbecue." I'm waiting
for the meat to cool a bit before tackling the shredding. I don't know
how much it will taste of actual barbecue but I've pulled off two or three
very crispy bits and they are heavenly. What's not to like about crispy
pork even if it's not smoked piggy?

My eyes fixated on what I thought were sweatbreads. Now that I look
closer I see that it's a potato stabbed with a spoon many many
times. What's up with that? ;-)

OTOH, My newsreader crashes every time I try and send email. And
you're the only person here who uses the Email-replies-To: (except
for me when I'm being devious). So every time I respond to one your
posts, my newsreader crashes. Then I have to come back in , edit
my outbox message, and remove your email address and send it again.

It would have been easier just to have had you whacked years ago :-)
But then you stalled me by saying you were switching to 40tude
Dialog and I figured maybe you wouldn't use that header and it
bought you a little more time. But NoooOoooOooo.

So ... you live at 3068 Bellerive, right? Vinny and Bruno are on
their way over. It'll just be a broken leg or three.

We had ham at our son's place down in Memphis . Our daughter in law
****ed it up as usual . I swear that woman can't think more than 4
inches in front of her nose . "Oh , the ham is done , I guess I better
get the potatoes peeled for the potato salad." And so it goes , but we
did get to eat before we drove home .

Wasn´t there a thread about boiling, smashing and frying small Yukon spuds?
I had fifteen and a eight inch skillet, so I tossed them into a 400F oven on
a cookie sheet to save time. They were OK. Should´a fried, um sautéed,
them. I´ll do better next time. Perhaps with some rosemary and garlic.
Hmmm. Maybe, I should just halve them with a bit of oil, rosemary, salt and
crushed garlic and toss them in the oven without boiling them. Tiny spuds are
baffling.
Cooking is so complicated!

OMG, that's funny. Sad, but still funny. We always made potato salad
the day before, unless it was going to be a hot one.

Those potatoes look like they were baked and then flattened with a spoon.

Worse. Boiled, palm flattened and roasted for a while. I should have turned
on the broiler. It was right there! I will be better at this if I do it
again. No cutlery was involved.
Nevertheless, they tasted like plain old, small Yukon potatoes that looked a
bit different.

As long as you liked them and you could season/dress them up however y'all
like. I don't think you have to be concerned with the potato police showing
up at your door.

OK, they do look smashed now. I do them this way - boiled, halved,
forked for crispy texture, seasoned, and then broiled.

Out of the blue, I woke up craving some reddish-orange sauce that I
haven't had in almost 40 years. I could visualize it and can remember
the taste too. After a few minutes, I realized it was "French" salad
dressing. It's on my grocery list now.

It's been a long time.

Funny how that works. A year or so ago I bought a box of Captain Crunch
for no apparent reason. (No, I don't have a whistle). It's the only
cereal I liked because it stayed crunchy in the milk. After 50 years, it
still doesn't taste very good. Maybe one of the helpful elves in this
group could look it up and see what ingredient causes that.

There's really not much to Cap'n Crunch:

Corn Flour, Sugar, Oat Flour, Brown Sugar, Palm and/or Coconut Oil, Salt, Reduced Iron, Yellow 5, Niacinamide*, Yellow 6, BHT (to preserve freshness), Thiamin Mononitrate*, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride*, Riboflavin*, Folic Acid*.

I doubt you can taste the vitamins, artificial color, or preservatives. I'd guess it's
one (or a combination) of the first five ingredients.

I had a strange friend in high school. He was a neighbour who was
badly hurt in the motor cycle accident in which my best friend was
killed. We were sort of pushed together. He was an odd bird, a rebel who
bucked all the rules and who made some bad choices in life, got into
drugs. That was when we parted ways, and I was not surprised years later
that he eventually died from a drug overdose. His while family was kind
of strange.

At any rate, they had a little Pomeranian whose main diet was Cap'n
Crunch cereal. Sometimes they put milk on it, but mostly it was just
plain old Cap'n Crunch. Surprisingly, the dog had teeth even when he
was older.

I love French dressing. It's probably pretty easy to make up a batch. I think it's mostly ketchup, sugar, oil, and vinegar. The other night I had a craving for salt so I cooked up a package of cheap ramen. Boy, that hit the spot. It seems that salty food makes me feel normal again.
