Popcorn

[porterross]

Wait til you get here to the sem in Fort Wayne. We have a Popcorn machine in the commons. Good stuff.

How is the sale of the house coming along?

I was wondering the same thing about the house and the less than favorable projections. Things have picked up here. In fact, I'm blessed to the point of needing more hours in the day.

Is renting the house for 6 months or a year an option, Filo?

I think I will give up for a while...

Heh sorry. And for the record, I knew it was 3 handfuls of popcorn... I just could not resist. I was teasing you. Tis just part of my nature

I am fond of saying that I am living proof that God had a sense of humor. (take that any way you desire, heh)

I know, I was just joking!

If it isn't kettle corn or cracker jack, I generally ignore (though I have been known to snack on extra-butter popcorn). I don't know about a 757, but I've ridden a McDonald Douglas from San Diego to Bahrain going eastward. As for a Yugo versus a Mercedes, I'd take the Yugo, no ego trip for me thank you very little (and I currently drive a 1988 Subaru DL stationwagon, and yes the spare tire is on top of and to the read of the engine).

The spare tire is reading the engine?

Yep, we milked our own cows until 1960. Nothing better!

Okay, another analogy ... which is better to go between New York and Los Angeles: horse and buggy or 757 jet?

DO you remember the cream ladles that fit through the month of the glass milk bottles? Mom would skim the cream off the top for baking or whipping and then the rich milk was left. Hmmmm........I can just feel my arteries slamming shut.

Hmmmm .... even if you haven't been, how about from LA to Hong Kong? Buggy would be pleasant until the water was ...

Well, you get the idea.

Homemade bread is that much better! My wife makes our bread (most of the time - her arthritis makes it difficult at times). So we buy some at the health food store.

Try a bread machine. Mix and bake in the same container. Not bad since you can add you own ingredients.

Very well. We had our own separator and sold milk/cream to the local creamery. It would be so thick, and delightful. The cream was so good, we could put it on chocolate cake, before the whipped cream (that was one treat that my father indulged in). Even now my mouth waters thinking about it.

But you know what I don't miss? We milked our cows by hand, and squeezing when it was 30-40 below zero in Northern Minnesota was not fun - for the cows or us!!

"The good old days" were great for food, but most other things, it was a tough go.

What other animals did you have?

Mostly cows, a few pigs, and chickens (for a short time). Cats (too many according to my father, so my brother and I were designated to "thin the herd"... and a dog.

We did all our own butchering of cows, pigs, as well as deer, bear, ducks, partridge, squirrel, etc.

Hmmm...sounds like an interesting childhood!

You do realize I was referring to the cats.

Don't goto Hong Kong.

Don't goto Hong Kong.

OK, I won't!

 

[BakaFidelis]

funny. And I mentioned Cat Chow Mein and Puppy Kabobs in another thread just today

(And you don't have to talk about when you ate pets for lunch!)
