Ernie Ball has a Canadian affiliate called Sour Grapes.

Australian is Gouge & Plunder pty ltd

Baked? Turkey en croûte?

Lowered whole into a large pot of oil

merguez (which I'm sure is available in your neck of the woods) is a better substitute for andouille than chorizo..

Never heard of it, but yep I’m sure somewhere in Sydney it would be available.


I’ve bought mild Chorizo from a specialty Spanish butcher and small goods place. So Chorizo it shall be.

The Wickmapedia says:



Tasso ham is a specialty of south Invalid Link Removed. In this case "Invalid Link Removed" is a misnomer since tasso is not made from the hind leg of a hog, but rather the hog's shoulder. This cut is typically fatty, and because the muscle is constantly used by the animal, has a great deal of flavor. The butt, which will weigh 7 to 8 pounds, is sliced across the grain into pieces about 3 in (7.5 cm) thick. These are dredged in a salt cure, which usually includes nitrites and sugar. The meat is left to cure briefly, only three or four hours, then rinsed, rubbed with a spice mixture containing cayenne pepper and garlic, and hot-smoked until cooked through.

Though tasso may be eaten on its own, it is more often used as part of a flavor base for stews or braised vegetables. It is used in dishes ranging from pasta to crab cakes to soup and gravy. Appropriate to its roots, tasso is most often found in recipes of Cajun origin, such as jambalaya.[1]

Back home for lunch today.

We arrived and found they had forget to put us in the activity schedule. They put us on anyway. Though only about half the usual number.
We were down by 2 lady singers, to one. Whadda’ya gunna do?
Did our best. They seemed to enjoy it, as someone said earlier, just showing up for them is a good start.


Edit: and yes, I did ‘play?’ The washboard tie on 3 of the songs. So now I’m a multi-instrumentalist?

I got it free. Somebody found it in a bathtub in an abandoned house. It sounded awful until I reshimmed the neck with 8 cents of change. It was what I played for several years. I later sold it for $300 that I subsequently spent to buy the EB-2 I still have. The story is longer, but that is the plot.

I see - the Wasp was a short-scale bass and looked similar to the one I posted which is a full-scale Coral Deluxe Bass. Both were made in the late 60's.

Union scale pays extra for that.

Oh my god goat cheese to me is one of the most nauseating foods ever. Cilantro isn't far behind. I have that gene.

They strain the goatsmilk through goats' underpants to give it that extra special aroma.

That lovely must. Goat underpants is also where goat cheese comes from, naturally formed.

Guys...you’re being really gross

An album cover for FP, hers exclusively should she care to use it.
But, my guess is, i'll just have to go to you know where.

Don't think I'll have a lot of say over album covers. Our singer is a professional graphic artist/designer and I'm more than happy to leave that side of things to the expert.

Result?

Sounded surprisingly good. I have always found MarkBass amps a bit sterile sounding, but this was pretty fat. The Trace cab probably helped there.

 

[GBassNorth]

That is awful! Why would anybody want to make an animal that keels over like that?

I read somewhere on the internet (so who knows if it's true) that these particular goats have a genetic disorder that causes them to seize up under stress. It apparently doesn't hurt them. The story goes that one or more of these goats would be kept with a flock of sheep so if a predator attacked the flock the goat would freeze and drop to the ground and end up being easy prey for the attacker, allowing the rest of the flock to escape. Hence the term, scapegoat.
Interesting if true.

Jambatralia? Australaya? hmmm....

Im with you on Goat cheese! Disgusting! I feel like puking just replying...

But heck, I would eat concentrated cilantro if I could find it.

 

[Rabidhamster]

Well maybe its compassionate selective breeding...
If one of those goats get run down by coyotes, wolves, lions, T rex, bobcats or whatever and eaten, they'll already be comatose before they're even bitten and presumably suffer less.

Goat pens have to be kept VERY secure

Ive always wanted to use bag end sealed 2x10 or 2x12 subs. Are these the 12's?

Only about half of that seems like it is true (so the internet is far exceeding its usual accuracy). Scape goat goes back to biblical times - the sins of the village were put upon a goat and it was sent into the wilderness (presumably to its demise) absolving the village of their sins.

Predator vision systems are highly attuned to movement. They have difficulty seeing prey that aren't moving. So a goat that suddenly becomes rigid is likely to be ignored by predators. Watch a cat when it plays - upon any movement, the pupils get big and they are unable to not look the thing that is moving.

But the goats do have a genetic defect that causes the fainting and it does cause them no harm.

Goat gouda with Goslings dark rum is pretty good. 85% dark chocolate and it is even better.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
