    Meanwhile in New England there’s a real battle going on. Patriots 21 Texans 10 almost half time.

     

    Heck of a game.  Again,  I didn't have a dog in the hunt, but I dislike the Patriots less than I dislike the Texans.

    Everyone has the right to do as they wish but I for one will not watch another one of their games. The NFL showed their true colors and I don't feel that has changed.

     

    I don't see anyone challenging your right to boycott. Or express your opinion.  Or draw conclusions about "true colors."

     

    Nobody is forcing you at bayonet point to watch games. Or participate in threads like this one. 

     

    California's Mulford Act was written by a Republican,  backed by the NRA, and signed by Reagan. Guess we should boycott the GOP and the NRA.

  3. Good stuff, Maynard!

     

    Deviled (Potted) Ham Ratios
    Base Ratio (Classic, Spreadable)
    For 1 cup finely chopped ham:
    2–3 tbsp fat
    (butter, mayo, or half-and-half mix)
    2–4 tbsp reserved ham cooking liquid or ham stock
    1 tsp prepared mustard
    ¼ tsp sweet paprika
    ⅛–¼ tsp cayenne or black pepper
    ½–1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    Optional:
    1 tsp finely grated onion or onion powder
    Pinch sugar (if very salty)
    Method
    Pulse ham in food processor until finely chopped (not paste).
    Add fat, seasonings, and liquid gradually.
    Pulse just until smooth but textured.
    Adjust moisture.

  4. I cooked down a ham bone for stock yesterday. Pressure cook 15 minutes, 10 minutes natural pressure release,  then vent.  Remove the bones,  picked the meat off, then put the bones back into the pressure cooker for half an hour. 

     

    But,  I had a little over a cup of ham bits and pieces,  so:

    I had used the stock to make rice yesterday,  so I used chicken stock.  I also processed it to a paste for my wife (had her upper teeth extracted a couple of weeks ago). She gave this an enthusiastic thumbs up.

    Tripe is an Italian tradition, my family anyway, haven’t had it since my mom passed in 96. She made it in a tomato sauce stew.I loved it! 

     

    I've had tripe a few times.  It's a flavor sponge. It's the texture that's off-putting for me. It was either vaguely beefy marshmallow,  or vaguely beefy rubber. Neither texture goes with my concept of "beef."  I like the flavor.

  7. I think over half the States still have some form of "Blue Laws." You know, can only buy alcohol from State Run Stores. Can't buy alcohol on Sunday. Can't hunt on Sunday.

    Lots of "Nanny States" it seems.

  8. Straight out of the can, I can agree.  But doctor it up with some mustard, mayo, and pickle relish and it's pretty good.

     

    Pat, from your list, I take it you don't like hot dogs, bologna sandwiches, or hamburgers made with seasoned ground beef.

    Good game, was hoping for the Bills but oh well. Sea hawks up 24-6 near half time. Don’t care about either of them teams. Oh well on to a movie…….  

     

    41-6, with 6 minutes left.  Tempted to turn it off, but there's a morbid,  "Let's see how bad it gets!" feeling. 

     

    I think I just heard one of the announcers say that Purdy has put close to 350 yards in the backfield scrambling,  trying to find an open receiver.

    Notice that old photo was done in CA.

    The nanny state, even 100 years ago,

     

    Vulcan on a unicorn! Give it a rest!

     

    https://www.sunherald.com/news/local/article242912016.html

    "Because they walked Beach Boulevard in one-piece bathing suits but without the rest of their bodies properly covered, Fred Randall and Leo Bickman were fined $64.10 each, plus court costs. Biloxi police warned them not to do it again.

     

    Huh? For true?

     

    Yes, but this happened 100 years ago. May 24, 1920, was a lovely, sunny Saturday on the Mississippi Coast."  The fine was $5, but in today's money that's the 64 bucks

     

     

    "...It shall be unlawful for any person to appear on any Biloxi street or to loiter in any public place off of the beach attired in a bathing costume, unless said person wears a suitable robe covering the body from shoulders to below the knees.

     

    “...Be it further ordained that any person violating any provision of this ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be fined not less than $5 nor no more than $100, or be imprisoned for a period not exceeding 15 days or both...”

     

    And Texas is such an oppressive nanny state!

  11. Some floor plans.   I expect that there is considerable variation from  class to class, but these give a general idea.

    I've also seen mentioned that the aft end of the hanger deck can be opened for testing engines.
