It's a road show version. We saw the main garden/glass center back in
2017 when we were in Seattle. Flew in a day early for our cruise so
spent the afternoon/evening wandering around the Space Needle/Chilhuly Garden area. Got on board the ship the next day, off a week later
directly to the airport so no, we missed the Pike Place Market.

Okay. He's an amazing guy - especially as a one-eyed, one-armed
artist. And he's still with us AFAIK.

I don't know if he's still with us or not but he has done some amazing workwith glass. A couple of years ago I saw a newspaper story about a family that had to evacuate their home because of wild fires. Packed up one vehicle, including a couple of his glass works. Ended up not being able to take that vehicle; when they were able to return to the ruins
of their home, the vehicle was sitting in the driveway, burned out and
the glass works were melted down to puddles.

AFAIK he's still hanging on. But he's old (1941 model).

We're due to see 99F tomorrow. Thank Mr. Carrier for air conditioning. Then next week temps are *predicted* to be in the low-mid 70s. PHEW!

I know, we're in the mid 90s today, upper 90s tomorrow and Thursday.
Back to the low 80s on Friday.

We're mid 80s thru the weekend and 70s after Monday according to NWS.

They do bar codes. But with a hand held scanner. And the deli labels
are not bar-coded so the amounts have to ber hand entered.

Moved out of the dark ages but still not to the 21st century. Actually, bar codes came out about 74/75. I remember flying back from Germany in July, 75, plane stopped in London and a refresh crew came aboard. One
of the young men handed me a magazine and I said something about the
bar code on the cover. He asked what I meant so I showed it to him and explained what it was. Made his day. (G)

Bar codes were invented and patented in 1952. They first saw widespread
use in the railroad business, keeping track of rolling stock as it was
rolling. Bu it wasn't log before it began to metathesize.

Now the "squiggle coded squares" (QR codes) are rearing their ugly heads.

Title: Sour Cream & Fruit Scones
Categories: Breads, Fruits, Dairy
Yield: 8 servings

2 c (255 g) A-P flour; more for
- dusting the work surface
1/2 c (100 g) granulated sugar
1 tb Baking powder
3/4 ts Kosher salt
1/2 c (115 g) cold unsalted
- butter
1 c Frozen cherries (halved),
- peaches (in bite-size
- pieces) or berries
1/2 c (120 mL) sour cream or plain
- full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 c (60 mL) milk
1 lg Egg; beaten

Heat oven to 400┬║F/205┬║C with a rack in the upper third.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large
bowl. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate
butter directly into the dry ingredients, stopping a few
times along the way to toss the butter pieces into the
flour. Use your fingers to work the butter into slightly
smaller pieces. Add cherries and toss to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and milk. Add
to the flour mixture, and use a fork to stir until all
the dry flour bits are incorporated, but the dough is
still shaggy. Smoosh and knead the dough a few times
until it barely holds together, then dump the dough out
onto a lightly floured work surface.

Pat dough to a 1" thick rectangle. Cut into 8 squares,
transfer to the prepared sheet, and brush the tops with
beaten egg.

Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool
slightly. Scones will keep, covered at room temperature,
for 3 days. Reheat, if you like, in a toaster oven or at
350 degrees until warmed through.

OK. I thought they were a lateer invention. Guess they took a while to
catch on for general use. I remember one time in the early 70s my mom
did some grocery shopping in her home town (Plainfield, NJ) and the
store was equipped with the bar code scanner at the register. She was
quite impressed. Don't know when (but well after I was married) that
they came to the grocery stores in the little town I grew up in. AFAIK,
the one store never had them before they folded. I think the A&P put
them in after one of their rebuilds after flooding.

Hopefully he's as active and vital as my friend, Les, who made it to

as a birthday present. Bv)=

Good to see/hear about older folks doing well. When we were in HI, one
of the members of our church was in his mid to late 80s. He passed away
at age 99 but not before sky diving the year before. He was also
president of the local (Ford) Mustang club and I got to ride in his
1964 car several times. He also gave me a nice mustang (horse) belt buckle, accesorises nicely with hat & boots.

Les is the guy I'm nominating for the "First Citizen" award. He's an
amazing dude.

We had a line of thunderstorms come though last night - complete
w/flash flood alerts. Temps dropped from 90F to my current 68F with a predicted high of 84. Not too bad.

We got them in the mid to late afternoon yesterday, flash flood and
wind advisories included. Temps dropped from the upper 90s to low 70s, today is back in the mid 80s but less humid. Steve was out grocery shopping during the storms; I think he stayed at Wegman's until the
worst of the first wave let up. We got a bit over 1.5" of rain in a
couple of hours.

My brother says we got 2 inches in about an hour. Then it was done. We're
not supposed to see 80s until mid-week.

Now the "squiggle coded squares" (QR codes) are rearing their ugly

Yes, and if you don't have a smart phone, you're pretty much unable to read them.

I just got "upgraded" because my really nice phone which I was used to
and comfortable with was no longer compatible with the current
networks. FEH!

I may go back to a flip phone since I have no desire to play gamez, or
do "social" media on the fly. Jitterbug sells one that is compatible
with the modern telecom practices.

I've not upgraded in several years but will, probably next year. I have
a hard time finding a phone that feels comfortable in my hands; most of them are too big so I like to keep a phone that fits, as long as I can.

I dunno who your carrier is - but all of the ones I have experience with will work with you .... not least bercause they want to keep your business.

Hi Sean,
In a message to Dave Drum you wrote:

I would except I have to have a smartphone to work with my hearing
aids and my continious (sp) glucose meter (and soon, an insulin

I think I mentioned I use a CAT S22 flip phone here when I'm in the woods. Android 11 I think so it has most of the smart phone features, just need your glasses to see it. :)

I'd be happy with just a flip phone if my mom didn't text me so much.

LOL, I understand that one. I installed a t9 keyboard and that helped, as
well when I have internet access I just use the talk to text thing.

Main reason I use it is because of the bug in iOS that makes it's hotspot feature suck balls.

Hi Sean,

We've been going with Google Fi for the past about 5 years; they work
well for us after having issues with all the major carriers.

I've been on a T-Mobile prepaid plan--$15 a month for unlimited text
and calls with 4GB data--for several years now but the phone I have is junk (a Motorola Mobility phone, aka Chinaphone). I'd love to get

We tried all the major carriers at one time or another and had problems
with them. T-Mobile was great in HI and GA but when we moved up here, it
wasn't as good. Steve then switched to AT&T but we found that calls
didn't always go thru. He'd walk to/from seminary and usually call me on
his way home to see if he needed to stop anywhere. Various times he'd
get home and I'd ask "why didn't you call, I needed you to stop at X?".
He said that he did call--it rang on his phone but not mine. Long story
short, we've been happy with Google Fi.

another phone but I have to pay full price and those phones are NOT
cheap. I ca buy a new ham radio for the price of a new phone and you
know which one I'd rather have.

I know, same as I'd like to have a treadle sewing machine and a long arm quilting machine. But, as long as we're here, I'll not get either, just
stick with the 6 sewing machines, serger and embroidery machine that I
have.

Title: Roman Holiday Soup
Categories: Soups, Low-fat, Lunch
Yield: 6 Servings

1 c Chopped onion
1 1/2 c Sliced carrots
1 tb Olive oil
1 1/2 c Sliced green beans
1/2 c Uncooked macaroni
6 c Defatted chicken broth
1/2 ts Salt
14 c Tomato paste
2 cl Garlic, crushed
2 tb Chopped fresh basil or
- 1 1/2 tsp dried basil
6 tb Grated parmesan cheese
1 tb Vegetable oil
1 tb Cornstarch
2 tb Cold water
2 c Drained, canned or cooked
- white beans

AKA Italian vegetable soup? I might throw in some beef soup bones or
shredded chicken to give it some more protein. It has some, but not all
of the ingredients I use to make pasta fagoile--much better than the
Olive Garden version if you've ever had that.

Hi Dave,

I dunno who your carrier is - but all of the ones I have experience
with will work with you .... not least bercause they want to keep your business.

We've been going with Google Fi for the past about 5 years; they work
well for us after having issues with all the major carriers.

I'm back with AT&T. I had their DSL service at the tin can. But when I came here to a "real" house they were'nt available so I was forced to choose between $cumca$t cable and a sattelite arrangement. Haveing
been in the sattelite business I know all about "rain-outs" so I
sucked it
up and went with a cable guys. But, just as soon as AT&T fiver became availble I told Conca$t to stick their "service" where the sun never shines. I'm happy with AT&T.

We had AT&T for a while but gave it up after some problems. I've one
good thing to say about them--after Hurricane (tropical storm) Irene
went thru the Catskill Mountains in 2011, ATT&T set up a temporary
tower, then converted it to a permanent one in the area where my parents
lived. Before that, we had hit or miss cell service up there, now it's reliable.

Yes, and like all butters, it's easy to do, just takes a long cooking
time to get it thickened without burning. Years (decades) ago when we
had an over abundance of sweet potatoes, I made sweet potato butter.
I'd never seen a recipe, just had the idea that it would work--and it
did.

WOW! There are new things I've never heard of. Sweet Potato Butter. Imagine that. Here's another new-to-me sweet tater recipe. I may try
this as a
waffle recipe when I make it. Vc)=

It was a "Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder..........." idea to use up some of the
sweet potatoes we had. Steve had bought a bushel full and I don't like
them. (I'd bake 2--one for him, one to split between the girls, and an
Irish potato for me.) I canned a lot, saved a good number for baking and
still had a lot left so, after thinking about it........sweet potato
butter.

Title: Batata Harra (Lebanese Twice Cooked Potatoes)
Categories: Potatoes, Vegetables, Chilies, Herbs, Citrus
Yield: 10 servings

3 lb Waxy potatoes; (red, Yukon
- gold, Maine, peeled, diced
- about 1/3"
Cooking spray *
1/3 c + 3 Tbs olive oil; divided
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Black pepper
8 cl Garlic; minced
2 ts Chile paste *
1 lg Handful cilantro; chopped
3 tb Fresh lime juice

Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or a silpat
and spray with cooking spray.

In a large bowl mix the potatoes, 3 Tbs olive oil, salt
and pepper and lay out on baking sheet making an even
layer.

Bake in oven until fork tender, about 35-45 minutes, set
aside. *

In a large skillet over low-medium heat, when the pan is
hot, add the remaining olive oil, garlic, and chili
paste. Stir and cook for one minute being careful not to
burn the garlic (garlic can burn easily and becomes
bitter). Add the cilantro and potatoes, stir.

Cook for 3-5 more minutes until the outside becomes
crispy, take of heat and serve.

Drizzle a little fresh squeezed lime juice on each
serving.

* NOTES: You may also use a higher heat, neutral cooking
oil such as canola, sunflower or grapeseed oil.

Any chile paste will do. Korean Gochujang has a slightly
smoky taste and would be great in this dish.

You can boil the cubed potatoes instead of baking, they
may come out less crisp when pan-frying but will be just
as delicious.

20 ml Red wine *
10 ml Water *
15 Juniper berries
2 Dessertspoons black currant
- cordial *
Cream
Cornflour

I miss dogpile.com.

I use ddg as my default on at least one machine. Depending on what you
are searching for, I get the feeling that some sites favor google and
bing in the sense that results from their sites don't show up on ddg
searches. Usually that is not an issue as I can still find what I am
looking for.

Hi Dave,

We don't do Mac or Windows but found that Google Fi works for our
phones and Google is our default search engine.

I do Windows because it's a no-brainer (all puns intended). I'd have
stuck with Amiga OS had it survived. But, that was then. This is now.

Steve had to fight with Windows at work so at home he wanted something
he didn't have to fight with. He had Geoworks Ensemble at one point, as
well as Linyx (sp?) but only windows emulators as needed.

I'm shopping for a new search engine. I've been with Micro$not's BING

Hope you find something soon. Not sure how you'll get something without
a lot of pop ups tho.

NOTE TO EAVESDROPPERS - here's a link to my introdsuction to the
batata

https://westchestermagazine.com/food/what-is-batata-root-vegetable/

And then I went looking for recipes. HAH! Every one I looked at when
doing a search on "batata recipe" called for potatoes. I finally
picked one that looked interesting. If I ever make it I will find some batta and sub it for the potatoes. Bv)=

Go for it!

I shall.

My usual morning "go to" tea is Tetley's British Blend but about once a week I treat myself to Good Earth's Sweet and Spicy Original. Wegman's
has a similar (but lacking some of the spices) tea like the Good Earth; it's my fall back when I can't get the Good Earth. We've been ordering
it on line but they went thru a spell where it wasn't available; when
it came back, we ordered a 6 pack. (G)

I have some Tetley Brit Blend on hand. I'll have to look for the "Good Earth" stuff. Hmmmmmm, I wonder if Food Fantasies might stock it.
They're my local health/natural foods & supplements stor.

Might be worth a try. We've found it in Harris Teeter and occaisonally (while travelling) in other grocery stores. The easiest way to get it
tho (for us) is to order it on line. There are several varients of it, including a chai, but I like the sweet and spicy original (with
caffiene) the best.

Food Fantasies stocks it. I bought a trial sample of the basic blend - which will get a try-out this week-end.

The Sweet & Spicy Original? AFAIK, that's their basic. A friend back in
AZ gave me a few bags to try; got me hooked on it. (G)

Got over-served last night. Dennis' middle son is staying with us for
a few days and just as I was thinking about falling into the shucks & pulling the covers up for the evening he presented me with a BIG (one pound at least) rib-eye steak cooked medium-rare and sided with some
store bought macaroni salad. Managed to get myself wrapped around the steak but Jasper and Isabel (the mutts) got to clean up about half of
the pasta salad.

Burp! Sounds like a good meal. We had beef on 'weck, rolls and beef both
found at Wegman's. Had a mixed greens w/apple, craisins and walnuts to
go with it--found that one at Sam's in their bagged salad section. We've
found some good ones there.

Title: Springfield Horseshoe Sandwich
Categories: Breads, Classic, Cheese, Meat
Yield: 4 Servings

8 sl Bread; toasted
8 oz (to 12) meat(s) *
Hot french fries
Paprika

------------------------------HORSESHOE SAUCE------------------------------
12 oz Shredded American (mild
- Cheddar) cheese
2 tb Butter
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
1/4 ts Dry (Colman's) mustard
1/4 ts Ground red pepper
2 Egg yolks
1/2 c Stale beer

* Original meat in a Horseshoe was ham. Any meat can
be (and probably has been) used. My favourite is half-
hamburger and half crispy bacon. Seafood also works
well on this delight.

In a saucepan, melt together cheese and butter over low
heat. Stir in Worcester sauce, mustard and cayenne. Beat
the yolks and beer together and add to the sauce pan.

Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens
and begins to bubble around the edges. Makes 4 cups.

On preheated dinner plates, arrange 2 toast slices each.
Top toast with meat. Pour a generous amount of Horseshoe
Sauce over meat.

Encircle each sandwich with hot french fries. Sprinkle
paprika (or cayenne) over sauce.

Makes 4 servings.

All confusers "fight" with their operators. It's endemic. My main quibble
is with the sidebar AI being intrusive and assuming that it knows better
than I what I am looking for. I fear that AI bots will soon control much
of our lives. And not a one of them restyricted by Dr. Asimov's "Laws of Robotics". Bv(=

walnuts to go with it--found that one at Sam's in their bagged salad section. We've found some good ones there.

The problem was I was nearly ready to go lay my head down. I had a late
lunch that day and wasn't hungry. But it's hard to turn down both the
nice gesture or the steak. Bv)=

I'm nt big on bagged salads. The price/benefit ratio is all in favour
of Dole (or whoever). I keep a grater handy and can chop lettuce easily
for a lot less $$$ than the pre-bagged stuff. Plus my neighbour lady has
been sharing the bounty of her tomato vines. Lots of BLTs and salads in
the past couple of weeks.

I'm going to make a cut-down version of this. Hy-Vee is offering seedless watermelos @U$2.49. And I'll sub cantaloupe for the honeydew. It will
make a meal (or two).

There's no privacy and any and every company is there to make

there is any privacy anyway.

I have a VPN too, but I don't believe it's private, I'm sure they sell as

The problem is that the A-I bots are becoming a fact of life. And the
potential for mischief is staggering. Too bad Dr. Asimov's 3 laws of
Robotics aren't in place and enforced.

* A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a
human being to come to harm.

* A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where
such orders would conflict with the First Law.

* A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection
does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Lycos, Inc., is a web search engine and web portal established in 1994

To achieve their goal, the Lycos Network must collect information so it
can understand what makes you different from its millions of other
unique users.

Lycos was focused on getting advertisers what they want, but Google was
giving advertisers what they needed.
