I like Cowboy Kent and often clean my cast iron his way. Other times, use the salt method. He has some good recipes too.
There's an island off the coast of Brazil that is supposedly infested with deadly snakes. Seems like you could put some mussurana snakes on there and clean them out.
I think Elvis and Dolly got the most reaction.

Certainly people found it at last somewhat shocking when Michael Jackson and Prince died, but I think Elvis and Dolly's passing triggered a deeper and more widespread response.
Does Jaye P. Morgan count?

She's gone to the great Gong Show in the sky.

The Amish also have high rates of genetic disorders because of a shallow gene pool. I wouldn’t look to them for medical advice.


Who said anything about looking to the Amish for medical advice?

I'm just showing that a sizeable number (63%) of Amish do get vaccines.

quote:
The measles vaccination rate within the Amish community is estimated to be low, around 25% overall in areas like Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.


Hurst and McConnell state that immunization can be especially low among conservative groups, with only 6% of Swartzentruber Amish participating, compared to 63% of the overall Amish population and 85% of the non-Amish population, according to a 1984 study (Paradox, Hurst/McConnell).

Do Amish get vaccinated.
Better call the guys who repaired I-85 in Atlanta after all those insulated cables stored under the viaduct caught fire. That was a bigger mess than this and they got I-85 fixed pretty quickly, though it cost them. A company in Savannah handled it.

I wonder how that registered on the Richter scale.

Pennsylvania has a lot of Amish folks, so probably two of them.


Many Amish get vaccines.
I made chili with Cajun Power Chili starter once. It was good. I have never tried Tabascos starter.

I usually make it from scratch.

I laughed at the same thing...the article literally says:

But the conclusion is

That's some fancy liberal logic right there. Al Gore and the little doom goblin would be proud.

I'd look in an octopus's garden, in the shade.

Give him 5 $20s and see what happens. He may just be stashing the cash somewhere. Trust your instincts, but try not to anger him.
I had it once, in a stew on a campout. It basically tasted like beef and I probably would not have known had we not been told. It did not stand out in any way in a stew.

It's just something we are not accustomed to eating, but is eaten in other places, like Guinae Pigs, or llama.

Wish I knew about it a while ago. If I had the right cheese it'd definitely go on, but a quesadilla of this sounds good too. Pretty versatile stuff. The recipe calls for Mexican oregano which I didn't have but it's optional. So on it's own it could really go as a side for a lot of stuff the more I think about it.


It makes a good side dish. You could use regular oregeno, but any little tienda will have the Mexican oregano.

In a sense, this is a bit like maque choux, with no cream and Mexican spicing. I put both zuchini and crookneck squash in it, tomatoes, and whatever other veggies I have on hand that might work.
Found out that my dad's grandfather fought for the Union, and then later fought for the Confederacy. According to cousins, this has been fully verfied, if not fully explained.

I'm guessing the Union army released or furloghed him at some point, he went home to north Alabama, and Confederates conscripted him for their army.
We spent a lot of time with my wife's aunt and uncle in South Alabama. Good people who had no kids of their own. The uncle was a very nice man who had worked in a textile mill while his wife owned a beauty parlor.

I always thought it was odd that this man who had grown up in Alabama and lived there his entire life, other than when he went camping with Patton, cared nothing about football. In fact, if anyone started talking about the Iron Bowl at Thanksgiving, be would walk away.

When he passed, we took the aunt with us to her sister's (my MiL) for Christmas. That year, my wife gave me the biography of Shug Jordan. When the aunt asked me what I was reading, I held up the book. She said, "Oh, that's about (uncle's) friend." While he certainly knew that we were Auburn fans, as was most of the extended family, he never once mentioned that he was a childhood friend of Shug's and their friendship lasted throughout their lives.

Shug would stop at their house when he came through on recruiting trips and to speak at local clubs. There was even a picture in the book of a sports camp that Shug had organzied as a young boy and the uncle was in the picture.

I was told that he watched or listened to every game Shug coached, but when he retired, that was it for any kind of football.

That's a combination of letters I had not seen before. I wonder what his prison name will be?

Just devastating for the father.

I've made calabacitas several times and had it in New Mexico. It's a great way to use summer vegetables and easy to make.
