Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GwenOnBass]

How about czarnina? My mom made it as well as the other dishes mentioned, as my grandma taught all the girls to do. Ya, my kin knew how to use the whole animal.

yeah speaking of Jane Austin, czarnina is a great way to reject a suitor

Speaking of Canada and food... We took a fly-in fishing trip through an outfitter in Atikokan, ON. We ate at a restaurant there that had "hot hamburger" on the menu. Well, I should hope it's hot! Not that kind of hot. It came smothered in gravy as did the fries. Had never seen that before but it was good.

You go on a fishing trip and didn’t order fish?

String beans are beginning to come in. For many that means a day of canning.

I prefer mine fresh or already in the can. I am just as dangerous in the kitchen as in the tool shed. My wife doesn't even let me load the dishwasher, not that I am complaining .

Yup, first read about the two colors in Michener's Poland. We always got the black, there never was the gold. Hm.....

OK, so you're moving from the states to France? Cool! I was thinking it was the other way around.

May your travels be uneventful, and your new home be delightful!

Thanks. Building a "maison en bois" 10 minutes walk from the bay. Plans submitted to the city. Waiting for the building permit. Up to 4 months. 2 for the city, and 2 for local comment. It'll be around 1 December before I can move in. I modified this model for my use (104 m2 vs 112 m2 and 2 bedrooms vs. 3). Doors and windows to suit me.

My daddy-in-law used to be a butcher. He said the only thing not used from a pig is the squeal.

July 14 is Bastille day, things slow down. The juilletistes take their vacations early, many wait till August.

Yup. And Arcachon is a summer vacation destination. August is a zoo. People move out of their homes and rent them for stupid money. I've worked out living accommodations for 1 September until mine's built, but the last couple of weeks of August will be tricky. I've got to convince my niece NOT to rent out her house, but to let me stay there.

That was the day before we flew out. We caught our fish (smallmouth bass) to go with the stuff we bought in town.

Curly: I'm going fishing...

Moe: You got worms?

Curly:. Ya...but I'm still gonna go.

Again, I did not like the sound of it. Silly but somethings are like that to me. Calf brains? ehhhh no, thanks.

Been a really long time since I watched King Rat.

I have been assigned the dishwasher. No choice.

Load it 'wrong' one time. You'll never be asked to load it again.

 

[beans-on-toast]

I am the dishwasher.

 

[SoulReflection]

I am the dishwasher.

We all have our little "duties"...

I am the dishwasher.

Sometimes I feel like a walking dirt mess in my better half’s opinion…

Funny thing is...Whenever I do load it, it almost always gets rearranged. it's OK. I can live with that. At least it is not piled up on the counter.
I was actually assigned to UN-load the dishwasher.
