When you leave your Mustang out in Texas heat.

Of the ones there I would have to say broccoli. But the one I refuse to get is ground beef. One of our favorite from a take and bake, or a custom made, is garlic white sauce, spinach , green onion, olives, and feta.

Chop them, add to the crumbs used to coat fried foods. Toast the chopped nuts to sprink on salads or on top of steak. Or https://greatcurryrecipes.net/2011/12/30/chilli-roasted-pistachios/#mv-creation-149-jtr

Sunday I'll be wearing a mask again.

I read a lot of comments on various fora. A lot of idjits leaving things like, "Oh! Animals are soooo much better than people!" and, "If only people cared for each other the way animals do!" I suggested that those people go watch bird feeders for a few days. Also to get out of big cities and look at the hicks and rubes in flyover country.

In diners like that it's not just the waitress. She has to then rattle off the order to the line cook, who then has to get each order right along with all the other orders he has going. And then someone has to tally everything up at the register without a paper trail. It brings this to mind.

All I have to say to THAT is

Or just their regular beef base. Both are excellent. Mix it with sour cream and dehydrated onion flakes for onion dip, or with cream cheese thinned with mayonnaise or sour cream and minced kosher dills for a spread for crackers or appetizers.

Thanks, Pat. I didn't know that the name went that far back. When going down into the Central Valley I always keep one eye on the rearview, I've avoided one runaway truck. That's two too many.

Interesting woman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Blackjack https://www.library.dartmouth.edu/digital/digital-collections/collating-wrangel-island/ada-blackjack-diary From the Dartmouth article: In 1921, in an ill-fated attempt to settle Wrangel Island (in the Chukchi Sea north of Siberia) and establish a territorial claim, Vilhjalmur Stefansson recruited four men -- Allan Crawford, Milton Galle, Lorne Knight, and Fred Maurer -- to settle on the island and hunt game. While outfitting the expedition in Nome, the team hired Ada Blackjack, a woman whose ancestors had lived in area homelands since time immemorial. After an expected relief ship failed to appear late the following year, Crawford, Galle, and Maurer set out in January 1923 to walk over the pack ice to Siberia. They were not heard from again. Knight, suffering from scurvy, remained behind with Blackjack; he died on June 23, 1923. Left with the expedition’s cat, Vic, Blackjack survived alone until the arrival of Harold Noice and the crew of the Donaldson, on August 20, 1923. And, a photo from the FB thread i found about her

There will be hundreds of hours of investigations, reams and reams of reports and studies released. We will be deluged with pontifications and posturings by pundits and politicians graced with 20/100 vision pointing out every flaw and weakness, real or imagined, demanding that security be increased until the most Goldbergesque plot would be foiled. Unless we are willing to have measures in place that make the East German border security look like a turnstile things like this will occasionally happen. I'm not sure that I want to live in a society that does that. Because sure as death and taxes, those measures would soon be imposed on every government building, then schools, banks, shopping centers, etc.
