    Simple never-fail recipes

    Knock it off! Quit hijacking the thread. This guy called Dr. J. H. Salisbury (1823–1905) invented the recipe. And Jack never said anything about renaming some place as being wrong. His point was sarcasm at people who are politically correct.

    lmao I won't do that, Jack. I told you ... I like you in spite of your being curmudgeonly irascible. :D Anyway, I call it "Salisbury steak" still. :) Because in this country, Salisbury Steak is what it is!!!

    Oh, I know who you guys are talking about. That Vince jerk with the big mouth. I can't stand advertising like that so I don't buy their crap. We had a neighbor who got that silly putty or miracle putty or whatever it was that fat guy who died was yelling at people to buy. It turned out to be no...

    I dunno. I've never heard of those. *goes googling* Mushrooms are also good in the steak/gravy mix.

    We like breakfast sometimes for dinner. Couple poached eggs on toast with some bacon. Pancakes with bacon. Bangers and mash is also a simple one (except we use hot Italian sausages or moose sausages or whatever and not real English bangers): Brown sausages as potatoes and veggies are cooking...

    That reminds me of a video I thought Les had. It was car racing and I think it was a Bimmer. I can't remember if it was on a regular road or track, but I think it was a track. Anyway, this car had a cam in it and the thing was screaming like it was doing like 15,000 RPMs. Anyway, I can't find...

    She sounds like she isn't trying. I can get pretty serious about the biz of shopping. lol I could come out of a men's shop or a plumbing supplies with something. lol I have a piston from a 426 hemi as a paperweight/knickknack holder on my desk and a short piece of aluminum irrigation pipe...

    Yup. Unfortunately even when it is poted in black and white that slow traffic stay right (or left), there are ALWAYS the rebels that get in the way.

    hehehe That is usually all I start out with when going tripping well, maybe a couple days worth of gear. lol Somehow or other I always seem to have more when I return home, though. ;) Les showed me the sense in not toting gobs of luggage around. Now, if I could only figure out how to not spend...

    All minivan drivers? Les followed a lady into town one day. She was driving a minivan with kids in it. It was doing about 20 kliks or so over the speed limit and she was only about 15 meters behind an unloaded B-train flat bed. If that truck had slammed all 3 sets of brakes on with no load and...

    If you have a soccer team or large group, yup. They aren't the best for offroading and there are more fuel efficient vehicles around for small numbers of people. From a female perspective, they aren't pretty either.

    lol Yup. As I said, if you do it right. Those kids are just itching for the Darwinian Award, though. :D Probably the driver has never driven rear-wheel drive positrac before. You definitely have to compensate for the back end sideshifting.

    Haven't read those. But, I'm not really into reading war exploits. I did read a book about Vasily Zaitsev, though. (I was bored). lol Speaking of goring sacred cows, it seems there are a few "Mowats" around here. :D

    I only compared Mowat's fact-bending with Moore's. Mowat has Moore far out-classed and, as you said, seems to have done things at least partly out of love, unlike Moore who seems to be just agitating the manure pile in order to make a buck.
