Then a wood stove might be just the thing!

@jon-nyc said in Happy Thanksgiving - What's your story?: By the way, I really wish we could retire the phrase 'processed food' and come up with new description(s) of the foods in the category based on the mechanism or degree of harm. 'Processed' is just too neutral and generic (you know those strawberries you're eating? They've been through the picking, washing, and packaging process - really!). But less flip, it seems to me there's a big difference between organic whole wheat bread and neon-orange cheese dust, yet both are, indeed, processed foods. We need to make a better distinction. ('Ultra' helps, but only so much. It suffers from the same imprecision and lack of any biological reference). I realize I'm yelling into a void. You're absolutely right. A term that general is often ignored by the bulk of the population.

If those Trump-image coins come to pass, I will never use them. The unmitigated gall!

@pj just sent me this. Link to video From the comments: You know, this is a breath of fresh air in a world full of AI content, just a man in a cool jacket and hat harvesting red/purple cabbage. Thank you. The YouTube algorithm finally did its job Edit: His jacket is Alexander McQueen. Guess the cabbage business pays well. https://editorialist.com/p/alexander-mcqueen-mcq-purple-fleece-cabbage-jacket/

I really hope SCOTUS reigns in IEPA.

I love watching that guy. Thanks for the link!

40 degrees and raining this morning. Snow is all gone. Procrastination FTW!

@Axtremus said in Congratulations to the new couple - Cory Booker & Alexis Lewis: A very good looking couple too. Indeed! Those photos look like fashion shots!

@wtg said in Conflicted: The father told Pioneer Press he supports Trump “in many ways,” but he doesn’t support the massive sweep of people based on their ethnicity. As a Trump supporter, he's had to overlook a magnitude of egregious behavior that calls into question his judgement, and dare I say, morals. How do these people turn a blind eye to the despicable things the painted one has said and done is beyond me.

This looks like a good possibility. Basically an egg and veggie pie, with the crust being made of grated potatoes. Video won't play here, but you can click on the Link to video. Link to video RECIPE AND INGREDIENTS: Ingredients: Potatoes — 1 kg Butter — 3 tbsp (2 for the dish, 1 melted for brushing) Eggs — 5 (1 white for crust, 4 for filling) Salt — to taste Cream — 300 ml Feta — 100 g Parmesan — 50 g Spinach — 100 g Red bell pepper — 1 Olives — 80 g Flour — 2 tbsp Dried garlic, oregano — to taste Olive oil — for frying Preparation: Grate potatoes, salt, and let sit for 15 minutes. Squeeze out the liquid, spread evenly in a buttered, parchment-lined form. Brush with melted butter and bake for 20 minutes at 200°C. Brush with whipped egg white and bake for 3 more minutes at 180°C. Mix eggs, cream, feta, and parmesan. Sauté spinach, add to the mixture. Fry diced pepper and olives with garlic and oregano, combine with the filling. Add flour, pour into the crust, and bake 25–35 minutes at 180°C. Result: A golden, crispy potato base with creamy, cheesy vegetable filling — comforting, flavorful, and truly homemade.

@Daniel said in Ukraine “peace plan”: I want peace in Ukraine. I don't want Ukraine to be given membership in NATO, either. But that's just me. Ben-Gvir and Smotrich want peace in Gaza too. Everyone wants peace. But under what terms?

I weaned myself off caffeine a dozen years ago after frightening chest pain that I interpreted as a heart attack, but tests proved it was something like GERD. I had been drinking lots of tea daily. Then I went into strictly herbal teas for a long time. I discovered that coffee didn’t cause a bad reaction, so I have one or two cups a day. I seem to be fine.

@Mik Thanks. Now we know how to hit 98!!
