Immature, unstable, goofy, and generally rebellious. But not me, I'm pre-war (WW II that is). Senile fits for me.

That "pop" reminds me, does anyone know where I might get tins of octopus legs? All they carry at the local grocery stores is sardines.

Go to the video store and rent Octopussy. James Bond has the answer in the 3rd reel.

Creamed herring, anyone?

Any Oriental grocer, but really, why not just get fresh and prepare it yourself?

I felt like some baby octopus but didn't find a recipe that appealed to me tonight so thought I'd post this original one that came out well.
250 g baby octopus (about half a dozen) 1/2 cup water 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 lemon

Bring water to boil in a small covered saucepan.
  1. Place octopus in saucepan, cover and reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 10 minutes. This is a lazy way to steam / boil them.
  2. Remove from heat and drain remaining water using the lid.
  3. Add olive oil, garlic, parsely, oregano and squeeze the lemon over the top and mix together.
  4. Place on pre-heated medium BBQ grill plate and cook around 2 minutes with the head facing down and around 5 minutes with the tentacles facing down.
Emmmm Emmmm Good

Who knows of a good grill that will fit inside of an Airstream storage compartment? I got mad at the lack of storage and modified my mid bed to raise it up enough for a coleman lantern to fit underneath. It's 16" tall.

I use a small Coleman grill--taller thah their two burner camping stove but smaller in footprint. Cheap on sale, like $29.

Do you mean real snow, or snow that is predicted? You see, those are horses of different colors here is eastern VA.

Pinto beans

They predicted about 5" of snow here, but most of it was rain. Does that mean predicted snow is clear and unfallen snow is white? The quarter inch of snow that did fall was white, but turned into grey slush, so predicted snow that actually lays around for a while is grey (or, "gray" depending on your spelling preference).

I've always liked "grey" though I think I am in the minority. Isn't there a horse that's called a "grey" or probably a "gray". Sort of like calling a horse a "pinto" though here in the southwest it's also a bean. If I had beans yesterday, I'd be a has bean, but I had a bad meal in a Thai restaurant. Sure wish I'd had beans instead.

Yeah - just like I learned that an axe was "a-x-e". But now we're economizing and axe is not "a-x-e" but "a-x". Which I always thought was a question, anyway.

Employee became employe.

It started with the Post Office making Colo., CO, and Ariz., AZ. Alas. became AK which was an insult when I was a kid in New York. Maybe N.Y. became NY. Who made the Post Office the Department of Abbreviations? I don't know what happened to Miss., Mo., Mont., and Minn., so I never write to anyone there.

If Pennsylvania 6-5000 had been 736-5000, would a song have been named after it, I a-x?

Still raining, but it's dark, so it's black semi-predicted rain, or predicted but unfallen unfrozen snow. It doesn't rain in Colo. in December, so I must be in an alternate universe, but it's too dark to see what color (colour elsewhere) the mountains are.

Where have all the apostrophes gone….

I am in the grey camp, but not the confederate camp. Oops, I mean Confederate. Sorry.

It's snowing here in California, but since it's so warm it's falling like rain.
