I'm still not going to go out mushroom hunting, but will accept them from people I know that know their mushrooms. We get some on an irregular basis from one of the farmer's market vendors--she was the

one > that IDed the Lion's Mane one for us last year.
Which if were a tad commoner could have made the
foolproof five.

The tree that had the one we found last year isn't growing one this
year. Guess we'll have to look for another one. (G)

Mushrooms tend to grow in stands. Look for
little teeth peeking up among the moss and
then come back a year or two later.

Though a lot of mushroom hounds tell you to
use an open-weave basket or a mesh bag to put
your haul in so you can let the spores fall out
the bottom, propagation is pretty chancy even if
you take care and an effort.

True, we were told it might not "take" but it was worth a try.

Mycology is a young science, and fungiculture
has been hit-or-miss except for the buttons and
the other common (if expensive) species you see
in the store.

Valsartan was touted as the best of the best, except,
as it turns out, for the small issue of industrial
contaminants causing cancer.

Picked up the mail from while we were gone, included a number of

meds, > including valsartan. So far, so good.
Enjoy ye diovans while ye may.

I do. (G)

I wonder about the incidence of cancers that was
caused by the valsartan that prevented a large number
of heart attacks. As far as I can see, if the danger
is less than 1:1, the recall was unjustified, and
what should have done (and in the first place too)
is to tighten up the manufacturing processes.

I figured you'd not be tempted by peanut
butter crackers.

No, but Steve might be. (G)

Let him speak for himself. Speaking of which,
he hasn't appeared here very much lately.

He's been busy with other projects. Now that the major trips for the
year are basically done and we won't be on the road that much, maybe he
will get back to Fido. Always something to do around the house (He made sourdough bread today.) but I'm sure he will be spending more time at
the computer.

Not that I advocate having it take over one's
life the way we see it happening among kids. But
we're not that bad, are we.

Doing a Gedanken, if I were in charge of, say, Kevin,
I'd be seeking all the solace from the Internet I could.

Very understandable, especially in the light of what I know about

Kevin, > including the most recent updates you wrote about.
Oh, he's a mean old coot. Weighs a lot, too.

Sounds about normal.

It was a major pain and took two grown men
(admittedly one of them was small slim Glen)
to right him after he fell over.

Not likely - if it had been compellingly wonderful,
it would have happened long since.

Just one of those less than happy memories instead.

Not much of a memory at all, truth be told.

Back of the mind, dredged up when something tickled the spot?

Not even that.

OK, some spot beyond remote corners of the mind. (G)

A happy recipe follows, if I can find one.
Rice pudding with cinnamon sugar (Milchreis mit Zimtzucker)
categories: Westphalian, German, dessert
servings: 4

That is always good, tho it's high carb. I'll make one with Stevia for
half the sugar and almond "milk" to reduce the carb count a bit. That'll
give me a bit of "wiggle room" to add raisins.

I said happy recipe, not healthy recipe.
This makes enough to happify 4 Germans or
6 normal people.

Fried potatoes (Bratkartoffeln)
categories: Westphalian, German,
servings: 4

1 kg potatoes
2 onions
100 ml oil
salt
black pepper

Peel the potatoes, wash them and slice thin. If the
slices are too thick, the potatoes won't get tender
in the pan, because they are not cooked before frying.

Heat the oil in a large pan. Cook the potatoes briefly.
Add the minced onions and fry for about 25 min, until
the potatoes start getting soft. Season well.

Hi Michael,

The tree that had the one we found last year isn't growing one this year. Guess we'll have to look for another one. (G)

Mushrooms tend to grow in stands. Look for
little teeth peeking up among the moss and
then come back a year or two later.

This one grows on trees. OTOH, we had a lot of moss in our front yard up
until recently, but no mushrooms. Had some trees taken out or trimmed,
opening up to a lot more light. Now we actually have some grass growing
in spots where it didn't grow before for lack of light. Steve has also
been building up the soil with compost in that, and other bare areas.

your haul in so you can let the spores fall out
the bottom, propagation is pretty chancy even if
you take care and an effort.

True, we were told it might not "take" but it was worth a try.

Mycology is a young science, and fungiculture
has been hit-or-miss except for the buttons and
the other common (if expensive) species you see
in the store.

I don't try to grow them; it's a job left best to those with some
experience in the field.

as it turns out, for the small issue of industrial contaminants causing cancer.

My mom wasn't that big but in their later years, Dad couldn't righten

1 kg potatoes

That is a lot of potatoes. I used to figure one average potato per
person when the girls were home, Steve was doing PT and I could eat all
the carbs I wanted. Now, if I fry them, I'll figure a couple of small
potatoes for the 2 of us, or one large. Steve is not doing PT, I'm
watching carbs and the girls are out of the house. Also Steve has cut
back on potaotes, tomatoes and other nightshade associated plant foods
because they make his arthritis flare up.

Yes, to add to the winter's eating. I got more cabbage and made
cole slaw the other day. After trying it at the one local
restaurant and finding it (in our opinions) inedible, we wanted
some that we knew would be good--and it is.

Yes, and this has been our standard for cole slaw for years. Steve's

Very good. The kraut is in the fridge now; we'll be eating off of that
for a few weeks.

but at least we're not getting snow to add to the complications.
Almost cold enough (upper 30s) and wet (light drizzle) to have done so last night. Today was sunny (first since Sunday) and in the low 50s,
nice.

I'll try not to be TOO envious... ;) We have had the snow to add to
the complications... ;) Today was interesting... stayed in the mid-to-upper 30s all day... started with snow, then snow mixed with rain... pretty
gloomy.... then we had some sun for a while, which was nice... then
more snow and rain, then more sun again.... not too bad, after all...

If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. (G)

There wasn't any new accumulation, which was nice... And for supper tonight, I used the oven to bake a spinach ricotta pizza... ;)

Good idea; I used ours to make apple crisp today.

Also can be quite dangerous when people do that. If light and powdery,
it has the possibility of blinding cars behind. If more crusty, it has
a strong possibility of letting loose as a block that can cause the car
behind to panic. Much better to clear the car before starting out in
every case.

Nice when one can just drive and the snow just blows off the car in
the first few minutes... ;)

Also can be quite dangerous when people do that. If light and
powdery, it has the possibility of blinding cars behind.

I wasn't talking about quantities of snow... just a dusting of the light powdery stuff.... the sort that is gone before getting anywhere near the highspeed roads....

If more crusty, it has a strong possibility of letting loose as a
block that can cause the car behind to panic. Much better to clear
the car before starting out in every case.

Oh, I do... especially the heavier stuff, and any real quantity of any
sort... The light powdery stuff is also easier to properly brush off,
too.... ;)

Hi Nancy,

We just did a direct transfer--the cold stuff helped bring
the new fridge down to chill temps faster.

Saved a transfer or two, then... :)

Yes, and Steve took care of it all for me.

Very nice... :) Did you sit there and supervise....? ;)

No, not the room with 2 fridges in the kitchen.

Nice when one can just drive and the snow just blows off the
car in the first few minutes... ;)

Still helps to brush most of it off before heading out.

I'm talking about when it's essentially just a dusting to begin
with...

A dusting is OK, but still better brushed off.

Thing is, I eat it now. I remeber when I was a kid, my parents had been
out one night, brought home some pizza. It was on the breakfast table
(but we had to eat a bowl of cereal first) instead of the usual bread,
but cold and no microwave or whatever to heat it. Us kids tried it, but
were less than impressed with frdge cold pizza. Now it doesn't faze me
to eat it that way.

that you also get an ice machine and what we call a dog leash. The

We did get snow today (Sunday). They predicted one to three inches. I
make it as more like eight. The forcast is for mid 30s for a high next
few days, so some of it might melt.

Hi Dale,

Good, I'm trying not to get sick so I can have my surgery next month.

That is a priority. Gail did get sick with a kidney stone and had to postpone.

So far, so good. I had an attack of bronchitis in December but am well
over it now--my primary care doctor cleared me last week.

In another message, I saw that you are going to get a walker. I hope
that you also get an ice machine and what we call a dog leash. The

Nothing has been said about it yet but if they don't tell me about it at pre-op, I will ask. A friend of mine had it when she had her shoulders
done (reversals, putting the ball on the top, socket on the arm) and
said it was a big help.

leash is a stiff material with a loop at one end to hook over your
foot. It helps a lot to move your leg with the new knee out of bed,
etc.

We've got a "stretch out strap"--it's not rigid but would probably be
useable the same way. This is a piece of web type material, about 12'
long, doubled over on itself, sewn down every so often on the one side
to make loops. I used it for one exercise for a week before the
therapist decided to take it out of the set I had to do.

Another thing we splurged on is a love seat--dual recliner with a
console in the middle. The recliners we had, when the foot part was
raised, had an empty space, metal bar (about 3" wide), another empty
space and then the foot rest. No decent support for the knee on those.
The love seat recliners have full length leg support--much better and a
lot more comfortable.

and I don't blame you for not wanting a cold supper. They're
forecasting the possibility of snow again for us, this week end.

We did get snow today (Sunday). They predicted one to three inches.
I make it as more like eight. The forcast is for mid 30s for a high
next few days, so some of it might melt.

We didn't get any but had a few sleet pellets. Today started with a high
of about 60 (near midnight); it's now 7:40 pm and is 33.2 and falling.
It's a dry front, but cold--we're not supposed to get above about 35
tomorrow.

We're still letting it rest, and the smoke to equalise--usually figure

We did our regular shopping Friday before the storm, and were
fine until our next shopping the following Friday...

That's a help--get shopping before everybody else has the idea
to do so. (G)

Actually, there were a lot of people that were doing pre-storm
shopping when we went for our usual run... the store was pretty
full of shoppers...

Maybe people are wising up? Other possiblity is pre-Super Bowl stock
up. (G)

Being the weekend of the big storm, it was 2 weeks before the Super
Bowl... but they might have been having parties for the semifinals...

As I mentioned to CT Ruth, some stuff had gone off the shelves
that first Friday before the storm, but mostly not stuff we were
after... :) I guess the milk was a little low, though... :)

Probably most folks hadn't yet realised they needed to get out
before the storm hit.

More that their idea of what was important was different from
ours... ;) During the day on Friday, there were already the
solar-powered highway signs telling people that there was a
driving advisory for Saturday because of the incoming storm... :)

No surprise; probably been a lot of those signs out this winter. (G)

Actually not that many so far this season.... just for the storm, and
then again this past week for the predicted ice storm and then the high
winds advisory.... a little flurry of advisaries...

able to get some Cabot Cheddar on sale at Publix.

Hope that went well.... :)

It's in the fridge now; in a couple of months we'll pull some
out and taste test it. He gave it a bit less smoking time this
time so the smoke flavor won't be quite as intense.

Time will tell... :)

As always.

And hopefully will turn out quite tasty... :)

We're still letting it rest, and the smoke to equalise--usually figure
to give it a couple of months. Otherwise the outside parts have too
strong a smoke taste, inside, not as much.

Ah. :)
