    LOCKHEED MARTIN EXTENDS TITLE SPONSORSHIP WITH ARMED FORCES BOWL

     

    FORT WORTH, Texas (Dec. 26, 2024) – Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT], a leading global defense technology company, has agreed to extend its title sponsorship of the Fort Worth-based Armed Forces Bowl for another six years. With the new agreement, the defense company, which has been the title sponsor of the event since the 2014 game, will be on board through at least 2031.

    “We are ecstatic to announce that Lockheed Martin will continue to serve as our title sponsor for six more years,” said Brant Ringler, executive director of the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl. “Lockheed Martin’s commitment to our game, the city of Fort Worth and our nation's armed forces is second to none. Their leadership and dedication has allowed us to elevate the event to greater national prominence each year. We look forward to continuing to work with Lockheed Martin to honor our armed forces members through a fantastic football event.” "

     

    Never heard of it before.

     I did say History of meat preservation. It is explained  why we preserve and how sauces etc.  were used  and why.

     See the first quote.   Nowhere in that did you mention food preservation.   I guess that technically,  since foods start to spoil as soon as they are harvested, it could be argued that everything we eat is "spoiled."  That 45 day dry aged beef is spoiled meat.  But I don't think that's what you meant in the first one.

  3. Or what to use when attacking Hessian Troops.

     

    https://hunterdonhistory.org/when-durham-boats-were-a-sweet-ride/

     

    Mansfield Merriman of the U.S. Corps of Engineers, writing in 1873 after the boats were no longer in use, describes them as “round-bottomed boats pointed at both stern and bow, about 60 feet long, 10 wide and 5 deep, with a low cabin for sleeping apartment, and one aft for provisions; the center of the boat was left free for the load.”

    Goods carried down the Delaware might include flour, corn, corn meal and casks of pork – 150 barrels of flour at a time, or 15 to 16 tons, according the Hunterdon Independent in 1877.

    “When fully loaded,” wrote Merriman, “they drew about 30 inches; the usual load on the down trip being 20 tons, on the trip up five to ten tons. The time required for a trip from Easton to Trenton was one day, while the return trip normally occupied three days.”

     Read about the history of food preservation.  Why do countries with warm climates use so many spices?    .  Read why etc.

    There is a difference between preserving meat and covering the taste of spoiled meat as you originally stated.  

    These don't start off with spoiled meat:

     

     

    Bacon, ham, and salami don't start off with spoiled meat.

    Yes, salt IN LARGE AMOUNTS dulls the taste buds.  That's why things like salt cod, salt beef, and salt pork were usually soaked several hours, or overnight in several changes of water to remove the salt. You remove most of the salt that was used to dry and preserve the meat.  Again, it was there to PRESERVE not to mask the taste of spoiled meat.

    To me Mortadella is  just an expensive bologna!! 😂 It’s a little different, a little spicier maybe. My dad used to get it along with capicola, prosciutto and salami at the Italian market. 

     

    Mortadella does seem to be the ancestor of bologna, slightly splicer and with cubes of guanciali in it.  And often with peppercorns, olives, or pistachios in it.  But very similar.

     On the History channel   who  debunked  this as a myth you?

    But, of course,  our ancestors never did anything to enhance the flavor of anything or add variety to their diet.  

     

    If bologna was to make use of rotten meat,  then that goes for all forms of sausage.  Some may have originated as a way to use trim from butchering,  but most sausages use mostly good cuts of meat.  

     

    If you look at bologna as an offshoot of mortadella its roots go back about 2000 years. There are laws and edicts governing the ingredients and production dating back at least to the 1600s. 

     

    That's not to say that some unscrupulous makers haven't used tainted meats in manufacture of any form of sausage,  American meat industry is full of such things.  But that wasn't why it was invented.

    I'll do A-1 on steak most of the time, just a dab. Prime rib gets real horseradish, not that mayonnaisey stuff!

     

    Once, at buffet brunch pre-covid, I got some "prime" rib at the carving station and gave myself a very large dollop of a very smooth,  white, and creamy horseradish sauce.  It looked like the mayonnaise/sour cream based stuff that barely has any horseradish in it (you already know where this is going). Cut a bite of the beef, ran it through the sauce like a tortilla chip in guacamole.  Put it in my mouth and BOOM!!!! Cleared my sinuses for the next 6 months.   Most of the creamy horseradish sauces you find have about 2 TBS grated horseradish to about 3/4 to 1 cup of other ingredients. This was at least 1:1.  Possibly 3:1 horseradish to other ingredients. But DANG! it was good.   Since then I always do a tiny sample taste of horseradish sauce.

  10. Not Dickens, but I like it.

     

    "SAT ON THE END OF MY BAYONET LIKE A BLOOMIN CHRISTMAS CARD, HE DID".

    On 29th November 1915 this image appeared in The Sphere, a British illustrated newspaper, which was out weekly from 27 January 1900 until the closure of the paper on 27 June 1964.
    The image was created by illustrator Philip Dadd, who was a staff artist for The Sphere.

    Underneath the picture it said, A private writing from the trenches during the winter campaign, says that a plucky little robin used to come into the trench, much to the soldier's joy.  "Sat on the end of my bayonet like a bloomin Christmas card, he did" wrote the Tommy to his family.

  11. British History Advent Calendar: Day 19

    Charles Dickens a Christmas Carol was first published by Chapman & Hall on 19th December 1843, the first edition of 6,000 copies sold out by Christmas Eve.
    Thirteen more editions had been released by the end of 1844 and it has never been out of print, it has been translated into a number of languages, and has spanned into many adaptations for the theatre, film and TV.
    It was Dickens 4th Christmas story and he would go onto to write four more but it was the Christmas Carol that was his most successful, so much so that in 1849 he began public readings of the story, which proved so successful that he undertook another 127 performances until the year of his death in 1870. 
    The story was published at a time when Christmas was becoming popular again, with a renewed interest in carols and people looking back to the glory days when those living in the countryside celebrated for twelve days, something that didn’t happen in the city, after all money could be made just as easily on Christmas Day as it could any other day, Scrooge is never given a job title because he is meant to represent people who work in the city.
    Dickens himself said in 1836 that ‘People will tell you that Christmas is not to them what it used to be’.

    Yeah,  I spent a couple of minutes trying to find it on YouTube to appease the "i don't do Facebook" people.   No luck. 

     

    Oh well.

    Not sure I would brag about that. 

     

    It could mean that she's hit one with her motor vehicle and none with her rifle. 

     

    But she's quite photogenic,  delivered the line with confidence, and made what I assume is a "Tell us about yourself in one sentence" presentation memorable.
