Well...I like jerky, when it's relatively tender and not so tough and chewy that I'll break a tooth on it. And I HAVE been called a jerk. And worse...

Now I'll admit to liking an espresso once in a while. And I have two ways to make it. My pod coffee/tea/espresso machine does a nice job of it so doubt I'd be interested in this device. My cute little stovetop mini-percolator espresso maker also does a nice job, but I rarely use it because I have to pay more attention to the timing and, being an old man easily distracted...hey look! A squirrel!

Neighbors revolt against tiny houses and say they will destroy property values
By Steve Harrison, October 09, 2017 7:58 AM
When I think of TINY houses, I think of those really small ones that are about half the size of an old fashioned mobile home. Now THOSE are tiny.
His houses, while fairly small, look quite spacious and comfortable for people who don't need a whole lot of room. I would still want a reasonably sized yard around me though, even in one of his tiny houses.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/10/09/south-korea-developing-graphite-blackout-bombs-paralyse-norths/

More older people are living on their own, and fewer have close relatives to help them out as they age.

I guess more old people than before...but my family tends to gather closer as we grow older. My parents moved back to our home town when Dad started spiraling down. It was at least in the same town as a couple of my siblings and when she no longer needed the assisted living apartment, after he died, she bought a house and now lives about a quarter of a mile walk from one of my sisters. My other siblings are more scattered, but I suspect there will be some more clumping as we get older, especially when there is no surviving spouse. Of course some of the sibling clumping will be closer to their own children, those who have them.

I just put a load of laundry into the dryer and now to take Lilo and go to bed.
Dinner was simple spaghetti with marinara, and small piece of parmesan garlic toast. J had the same, of course.

I remember the Hot Dogger, As I understand it the Hot Dog was heated by the 120V line current flowing through the Hot Dog, No heating element as such, Probable risk of shock ?
I watched a couple of episodes of Tiny Houses and those would not do me. OTOH if I was alone one of the ones from the article would work for me.
I am of the belief that the vandalizing is being done by people that have no connection to anything Columbus did except very indirectly. Some Vandalization is being done I'm sure for a laugh. Not that funny to me when a neighborhood comes out and all the tires along the street have been slashed.
I wish That Family was near to me... Washington State etc.
Have a Good Day

Gym, perused a new 'International Market' in same shopping center as the gym...very interesting. Was hoping to find 'black salt', but no...so I've run out of places to visit, and will let Amazon ship me some.
Home, lunch, nap, Jack chat, feed cat and me too...next thing I know its 10pm! Hmmmm.
Oh, there was a load of laundry too... still not a lot accomplished today
Watched several 'Emmy' vid's. (including the black bat nuts. Weird.
Going to bed, eyes are already at half mast, and I'll need to tape them open if Intend to stay awake.
Oh, been meaning to say....there is a 'show' that goes around, here in ATL it was half an anatomy museum like display with mostly real body pieces, and some that were plastic...but next door to the body works there was a 'blind' tour...You had a time reserved for you and the other 18-20 who were going to be blind with you...instructions were given on how to use the white cane, etc. And then you were led into a pitch black area with NO LIGHT....its been several years since I did this..but I remember climbing a set of stairs, going onto a rocking pier and getting into a boat, complete with water sounds and rocking of the boat...you went to a grocery store and were told to find milk and maybe bread???, you went to a bar, and could order a beverage, which was the easy part...then you had to get out the wallet you'd been given and figure out money to pay with....you know One dollar bill feels like any other...so later we were told how an actual blind person might bend the corner of a One Dollar, five dollar bill, etc...and the worst was crossing a busy street. How to listen for the bell to know the light had changed so you could walk across the street....I and everyone in our group were run over!!! Not so good. I couldn't hear the bell, so I got squashed by a big truck!! It is one of those things that is very enlightening and fun, as well as educational. Def. worth the price of admission!
Ok, now I may need a white cane to get to my bedroom....eyes drooping, closing, head bobbing, ZZZZZZZZZ!
Black Salt, What is it used for ?
A Blind tour sounds sort of interesting. I had a thought however, How do they know What denomination bill they are bending the corner on ?
I am heading back to bed shortly, I did not get a decent sleep and am feeling exhausted and it is not 8AM
Enjoy Your Day

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 70 out there now with an expected high of 87 and 20% chance of rain.
Need to get some laundry folded, and might get out to the store for eggs and a couple of other things. J likes jumbo eggs and they were out of that at Ingles when I was there. We do have a few left though so it's not critical.
Ready to start my third mug of tea.

I think it's a shame that just having a pressure cooker in your trunk is suspicious now. If there's nothing else to indicate that it's being used to make anything untoward or illegal the assumption should not be that it is intended for an IED, but rather that the plan is to..oh, I dunno, maybe COOK SOMETHING in it? That, after all, is what it's made to do.
I mean, a steak knife can be used to hurt someone but I don't get suspicious of someone headed to a barbecue with a set of steak knives.
A hammer can be used to hurt someone and I suppose a screwdriver could too. Yet I have both in my automotive tool kit. No intention of using any of the tools to hurt anyone, I can assure you.

Hi Ed
I may be strange but If they are out of Jumbo I would just get the next smaller size and be done with it. They Extra large or Jumbo I'm sure they taste alike
I noticed that, I am also pretty sure I have done that in the past too.parityanimal wrote: »OK. Earlier I said it was terrific Tuesday, but that was yesterday. Today is wonderful Wednesday!

There have been Knife attacks as well as hammer attacks in the last year or two. Will they be the next big items to need a background check ?
vehicles have also been used in attacks. Or to me many, many common items can he used as weaponsparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!

He owned 3 houses, one for himself and Mary, and one each for his 2 daughters...they are OK, houses, cars, etc all burned. He escaped in his pajama's Mary had on shirt and pants, and managed to grab a computer and her phone. They are my age. Wouldn't that be awful...to be old and lose everything you owned??? Makes me understand how lucky I am, and is yet another reason to be grateful.
Oh, yesterday I went to the International Market and while they didn't have my black salt, they did sell me some really tasty falafel!!! A mile from my house!! Whoop whoop!!! its a miracle!
Roger asked about the black salt...its actually pinkish in color, and has sulfur in its makeup, giving it an Egg flavor. Great for making tofu eggless salad! Should be here Friday. Taking bets on what lunch will be!
We set a high temp record today...and they think may do the same tomorrow. Summer came back for a long stay...
Need to feed Tom E. and then its bed time for me. I'm tired, and my ankle hurts, and I'm on the threshold of becoming crabby!

I have been watching that disaster unfold, How terrible
I'm guessing that it is different than the Pink salt that is used for preservation.
I need to run, I just looked at the Clock, Hopefully I'll be back on later.

I think most of this video is overblown nonsense as most of the "grossness" of the foods mentioned isn't as gross as inferred, and a lot of it isn't as common as inferred.
Marshmallows: It's never been a secret how gelatin is made, nor that gelatin is in most modern marshmallows, as well as many other foods. If that does bug you, you can find vegan marshmallows at many health food stores, if you want to pay the higher price.
Ready meals: Honestly, don't see all that much "grossness" in that segment. Again, it's no secret that ready meals aren't always made from the freshest or healthiest ingredients.
Ice cream: They strongly suggest that most vanilla, strawberry, and raspberry ice creams contain castoreum. They start off saying some, then many, and then say that the next time you enjoy vanilla ice cream, thank a beaver, as if ALL vanilla ice cream contains castoreum. Well, it doesn't. Read the ingredients of what you buy. You should be doing this anyway. I don't eat a lot of ice cream, but I do read the ingredients and honestly haven't seen castoreum listed in a long time...
Beer: Isinglass in beer seems to be more of a thing in Britain but not so much elsewhere. And, like before, they start off saying "many" factories add isinglass. Many is a rather vague term. 10? 20? 3000? Then they say "beer contains the juices", suggesting that ALL or at least most beer contains this, which is not supported by the prior statements. Again, check your ingredients.
Skittles: Carmine or Natural Red #4. This segment is fairly factual. Yes, this item is in some foods, and if you don't want to eat it, then read your ingredients. Again, they say that there are a LOT of companies that use it. Well, that's fair. They don't suggest that all red foods contain it, and do tell you what to look for. I'll let them have this one.
Jellybeans: Shellac. OK. This particular shellac is made by insects. So is honey. Honey is made by bees. It's delicious, nutritious and the bees are not harmed by our using some of their honey, as long as we don't take too much. This shellac is taken after it is produced by the bugs. We don't kill the bugs to get it. Various kinds of shellac are also used in non-food items. But the fact that it's used in non-food items is not relevant to anything. Salt and baking soda are used in many non-food items but are used in a whole lot of our foods and no one is at all disturbed by this. I have no issues with eating this shellac.
Canned mushrooms: You know, the maggots got into those mushrooms BEFORE they were canned. By and large, they were not developed enough to be noticeable. The canning process, in itself, is not adding maggots or increasing the number of them. Want to get real on this one? Any fresh or canned fruit or vegetable may contain some, that have not developed enough to be seen by the naked eye, or noticed when eaten or digested. So if you don't want to ever worry about that, then just don't eat anything. Good luck learning how to photosynthesize though, and by the way, you don't really want to know what's in the water you're drinking.
Packaged beef: zOMG! PINK SLIME! This has been brought up before and, as they say, IF (I say IF) it's not processed correctly, then it may contain harmful pathogens. Well beef, in general, if it's not handled correctly, may contain harmful pathogens. This is true of ANY MEAT PRODUCT if it's not processed and handled correctly. "Pink slime" is designed to remove the harmful pathogens so the meat isn't wasted. If I can't see it in my meat, I don't care if it's in there. If this bothers you, don't even think abut how hot dogs and bologna are made.
Salad dressing: zOMG! Titanium dioxide! It's a chemical but it's also, at least in this case, a NANOPARTICLE! That's a scary word! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE! YOU MUST COMPLY! Oh, wait that's a Borg nanoprobe. Never mind. While there is some evidence (more research is needed) that some nanoparticles in food can contribute to bowel problems for some people, there is little evidence that titanium dioxide is problematical for most people. Yes, it's also used in sunscreen and paint. No, that doesn't make it a "non-food" chemical. It's just a chemical, with many uses, some of which have to do with food, and some of which don't. Yes, by all means, make your own salad dressing if you're worried about it. But be sure to carefully read ingredients in all the things you're making it with. And by the way, ranch dressing, the one they were so worried about the titanium dioxide in, can NOT be made by mixing honey, vinegar, eggs, and salt, the recipe they suggest. Oh, and by the way, are those eggs, which would probably be used raw, homogenized? Can you say "salmonella"? I knew that you could.
Pringles: They're not actually made from potatoes? Well, potato flakes are made from potatoes, so yes, I think Pringles are, in fact, made from potatoes, as well as other ingredients. And they don't claim to be made from sliced potatoes anyway, and don't claim to be potato CHIPS. The video strongly suggests that there is more non-potato in Pringles than potato, and while that may be true, there is still more potato than anything else. The first listed ingredient is dried potatoes. They also call the cooking and flavoring process the "weird part" as though cooking something in hot oil, drying it, and then spraying flavor on it are weird. What's weird about that? It's called frying. Certainly not the most healthy way to cook something but it can sure make some tasty food! As for the processing removing any nutritional value...well, does anyone actually EXPECT Pringles to have any nutritional value? I sure don't. And zOMG! Here's a dangerous chemical! Acrylamide! I'll even grant that it can be a dangerous chemical. But ALL POTATO CHIPS AND CRISPS contain acrylamide. That's right. Not just Pringles. According to the American Cancer Society, on their page about acrylamide: "Acrylamide is found mainly in plant foods, such as potato products, grain products, or coffee. Foods such as French fries and potato chips seem to have the highest levels of acrylamide, but it’s also found in breads and other grain products. Acrylamide does not form (or forms at lower levels) in dairy, meat, and fish products."
