    Sales of jellied eels booming in Britain outside London

    I've worked security for the Scottish Pavilion during Mosaic here in Regina, & look forward to my double-double annual portion of Haggis. Last year the woman sitting beside me had to trade me chairs, as she couldn't even look across my plate at the stage as I ate. Good stuff.

    Sales of jellied eels booming in Britain outside London

    Jellied Eels don't look too attractive, but I've had BBQ'd Eels in a Sushi joint and they where awesome!!!!

    M & Ms

    With over 73 years to its name and no signs of stopping, the Ukrainian Co-op has long been one of Regina’s commercial and cultural landmarks. The co-op has come a long way since its founding in 1936, with three moves and four expansions, but has retained its relationship with the community...

    M & Ms

    I hate to say it, but I don't even know where to find an M&M Meats locally at this point....but I do know how to follow my nose (especially when the humidity is up, & the wind is blowing gently from the west) due to this: ...found out in the alley behind the Ukrainian Co-op two blocks from...

    Scientists link harsh winter to dramatic decline in Arctic Sea Ice

    I wonder how many of the green alternatives above are manufactured or shipped without the use of fossil fuels? Just wondering about the irony in the debate, is all.

    Favorite beer(s)?

    Can't you drink Heineken? I know a few Celiac's & one of them drinks this, & only this. I don't know if it's truely Gluten-Free, but it works for her. Personally, if I can get my hands on it, I like "Sol Limon" (a cheap Mexican Lime beer), but I like pretty much any Lime beer, be it Miller...

    Spring is Here...............

    Mine's a full basement, but only 4ft in the ground. The sump is plumbed into the city sewer system though....& the infrastructure has become questionable in recent years. Some of the summer storms fill the sewers, & the pump doesn't have enough umph to pump it past the pressure in the city...

    I remember a Spring like that in '82 or '83, when this happened on an Easter weekend. Crazy.

    Spring is Here...............

    Not so much out here on the Flatlands. Still lots of snow on the ground, & a bit more everyday it seems. Kind'a hard to describe what we're seeing here. Sounds like we've broke some records (again) for snowfall. Had a full years accumulation on the ground before the end of November...& that was...

    Pot Roast to die for

    Bisto is good stuff. My Grandma used it too.

    Pot Roast to die for

    It's good, but it takes a long time. Go with a method like #Juan uses in the O.P. (Post#1). Way easier!!! Much quicker too. I usually just toss a big roast in a roasting pan (a big one with a lid), season with coarse black pepper and a seasoning (lots of it) called "SPIKE". (Spike's...

    Pot Roast to die for

    Going back to the O.P. on a similar technic, here's one to try if you have the time. Sear the roast closed like in the O.P. Think of it as a cube regardless of its shape and sear it on six sides seems to work. I use olive oil & a wok for this, but whatever. I've done this several times with...

    I had three chicken burger type things & a double bacon burger & a poutine, in about four minutes. I hear you and have empathy.

    What are you eating right now?

    Supper tonight was a litre of Pineapple Juice in an effort to flush out a fast lunch of raunchy Burger King stuff that is riding like some grease bomb brick somewhere between my ribs & my legs still.
