footnote: I saw Alex Guarnaschelli use the spine of a chef’s knife as if it were a steel to hone her other knife.
I've done that a few times. It works reasonably well.

That Flash and Dale?
I know that when the Black powder gets ignited it will produce its own oxygen to burn. But how are they going to touch it off in a vacuum?

I think there's three in the silverware drawer, but we were discussing the junk drawer. And if you have one stuck to the refrigerator you never have to worry about where the others are.
Until you knock it off and it bounces under or behind the fridge.

Church key? In a drawer?
You mean you don't do this? Stick it to the refrigerator door with a magnet so you can find it when you need it?
You mean you only have ONE?!?!?!

Advanced pack:
On edit: Another soup ladle! I just tossed 3 in the donate box last week and there is another! So up to having three again until I decide which I like best.
But no church key!

Yup. Bundling board is what I was after.
Ah! And here I thought you were referring to the bit of Native American regalia.

The last time was in 1969. My grandparents 50th wedding anniversary.
My folks 25th.
If I recall at that time gas was around 30 to 35 cents per gallon, certainly not over 40 cents. When I started driving a couple of years later the Texaco that we always used was at 34 cents for regular.

When were you in California?
ADDED:
Prices are down somewhat...I'm seeing some regular at around $3.80/gallon.
Two years ago it was $7 around here. Some places in San Francisco were close to $10.00

Most of the images I've posted can be found on a half dozen sites. Some, the same image will be on Getty or Almany with their watermarks, but also on several other sites with no watermark.
I've always considered that the "fair use" doctrine applied here. The images are not being used for commercial purposes, and even as memes or humor, are also to some extent educational. Usually, of a warning, "Don't be a dumbhead!" but still educational.-

I'll go to posting links as suggested.
Just in case:
If it comes down that only SASS members may post, well, thank all y'all for putting up with me. You are a great bunch of people, even those I've locked horns with a few times. Maybe especially those.
I've always felt that after the dust settled, gouged eyes and torn ears were handed back to the rightful owners, we could all sit by the fire and share coffee in comradery and friendship.
I've learned a lot, and hope that I've been able to pass along a little knowledge in return.

You're not kidding. BabyGirl was sitting in the kitchen while I cooked & was complaining about having to learn fractions. "When am I EVER gonna have to know fractions?" I told her to pull a cookbook - any cookbook - off the shelf and find a recipe. She does. I ask: how many does it feed? She says 6. I said you have 15 people coming for dinner. She says "Oh."
She would love this:

Another culinary experiment. Sort of.
Navy Beans and Maple Sausage
Great Northern Beans – 1 pound, rinsed.
Maple Breakfast Sausage – Farmer John’s, 8 oz, chopped.
Onion – 1 medium, chopped
Garlic – 1 clove, minced
Oil - ~1 TBS, preferably from jar of garlic cloves*
Black Pepper – about ½ tsp freshly ground
Chicken Seasoning – 1 packet from Ramen, can use Chicken Base
Water – about 5 ½ cups.
White Rice – about ½ cup.
Rinse and drain beans.
In Instant Pot, heat oil on Saute setting. Add Sausage, cook and break up. Chop Onion and mince Garlic. Add to pot. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring often.
Add Beans, Water, Black Pepper, and Chicken Seasoning. Close pressure cooker, cook on high 30 minutes, use natural release. When safe, open pressure cooker, add Rice. Stir, cook for an additional l15 minutes, natural release. Enjoy.
*I’m lazy and usually buy peeled garlic. Some I use right away, and hold a few out to use within a few days. The rest I put in a jar with oil and store in the refrigerator to keep the garlic from going bad. I use the oil if I want a hint of garlic flavor.
This yields a bean that is slightly toothsome, very creamy, and with very subtle flavors. The onion and garlic pretty much disappear except as a background note, just a hint. The inexpensive Farmer John's Maple Breakfast Sausage gives a noticable, but not overwhelming, touch of sweetness and spice.
That I went into Word and typed it out says a lot for how much my wife and I like it.-
