It was fun for a while but it just kept spinning. Felt the same way about GOT.

@AdagioM I know I don't need any more cookware, but that Anyday stuff is intriguing!

Very British of them.

Well, there was a fascist coup attempt against FDR. The plot involved installing a general as head of state. The attempt failed when the general betrayed the fascists. It certainly could happen here.

@Steve-Miller said in Mediterranean Diet: This is my new go-to meatloaf recipe. Prep is a bit more involved than most recipes but the taste is there and it holds together well. https://thecozycook.com/turkey-meatloaf-recipe/ That's along the lines of the Market Street Meatloaf I posted above, but made with turkey rather than beef and pork. I really like the moistness that the diced sauteed veggies give it. Will try the Cozy Cook version!

Very nice indeed. That C#minor Chopin is a particular favourite.

looking good.

Also Chana dal…I think.

Looks good. We’ve been eating more sirloin these days due to high prices, plus the flavor is superior imo to a lot of other more expensive cuts.

Bless her heart

Turned out pretty well. The taste is spot on. I marinated the tuna a bit so it wasn’t as bright red. Won’t do that next time. The combination of fruits, vegetables, nuts fish and dressing is great. Raw fennel build is really the star here. [image: 1736638806298-img_4773.jpeg]

@Steve-Miller said in Hey Mik!: The lake is freezing over. I’m told it used to freeze solidly every year and that people could drive on it. This is the first time I’ve seen it freeze since we moved here. [image: 1736606509861-4aaf4637-25f1-4575-9e9c-5b402105a9c9-image.jpeg] My great grandfather lived on Point Pelee as a young adult in the 1920s and they used to drive on Lake Erie frequently in the winter. He used to do some small scale rum running during Prohibition, until some of the bigger fish gangster rum runners caught them and started shooting.

Great article, thanks @wtg ! We really hate those super bright lights. Our car has a low profile, so that makes us more susceptible to the SUVs and trucks as well. On the topic of safety... Americans drive too fast and the speed limits are too high. Given how fast everyone is driving, I totally get the desire for "down-road punch." If everyone slowed down, maybe that would be mitigated somewhat.... And to the other point in the article, yes, I'm afraid there is an increase in selfishness... as well as just a lack of awareness of, or interest in, one's impact on others.

These are great! That panda one looks like a sexy panda pin-in that belongs in a 1950s panda mechanic's shop.

Happy anniversary to us'n's!

I don’t want to click on the answer and find out maybe something bad about my Sudanese ancestry.
