If they want jobs they should probably get their applications in early at the recently proposed government-(ie taxpayer) bond financed buggy whip factory. Which, incidently, wasn't voted on.

This recipe is form the 1958 Camplbells Soup Cook Book where it's known as "Yummy Porcupine Meatballs": http://www.rubylane.com/shops/momentsintime/item/Bookx2092 Or, as we used to say, Porkypine Meatballs.

Useful: Ove Glove http://www.youcansave.com/oveglove.asp It's great! SB (wishing for a pair)

Reminds me of a favorite old vaudeville joke: #1. (coughing) I'm getting a little hoarse. #2. Good, can I ride it?

This would present a major problem for me. I do all the cooking and my hair, what there is of it, is "silver", GF's hair is medium length brunette, and our dogs are either black or white. SB (would have to do some quick 'splainin')

Carolyn, Oops! Typo; this is the Summer 2003 issue! It kind of confused me when went home and looked for my copy so I could reply. THANX SB

Raisens, sultanas and currents are similar, but technically not the same thing: http://greekproducts.com/greekproducts/raisins.html SB (likes them all)

Strictly barefoot for me, although I'll admit my toes have had a couple close calls!

Sincerest condolences! Thank you, although in all fairness I'd like to mention that by way of compensation my mustache has over the years procured many invitiations from women to engage in numerous interesting activities!

Rather sardonic humor when you recall the article from the Winter 2002 issue: "Inventions" "The Patented Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich: Food as Intellectual Property" by Anna M. Shih "Surprisingly interesting account of how the J.M. Smucker Company’s Menusaver division obtained a U.S. patent for a “Sealed Crestless Sandwich"."

As a long time lavishly mustachioed man I took umbrage with those somehow offended by the image referred to! Although the choice to sport a mustache and be a gourmand is a private one, the unmustachioed can't appreciate the element of sacrifice required. I, for instance, with my Fu Manchu styled facial decoration, haven't eaten an ice cream cone in twenty-five years! SB (corn on the cob is really tricky too!)

In France that's known as Mise en Place.

It's been a while since I've done it, but some things never change: Be neat and clean! Speak clearly! Offer to be available for overtime, fill-in, and odd hour shifts. Be neater and cleaner!

Suggested Theme Ingredient: Velveeta Why not?

I will never tolerate people injecting political or religious remarks into food related discussions, (except with obviously humerous intent), and will combat any such attempts with satirical or caustic remarks of my own with no regard for threatened sanctions.

Just ask, "why?" SB (depressed)

Although it never really happened, (at least as far as I know), back when I was in high school we used to joke about knowing our friend Grub Rahkola was working if you found a Camel butt in your Dilly Bar.

Why am I not surprised? And, thanks for mentioning it. I agree with you 100% about the Kaga part though. The only person I can think of who could pull it off is Jesse Ventura. SB (former constituent)

There will be no such diety in my panoply! SB (nominates the Olsen Twins, on alternate weeks, for the giggling girl role)

But remember, you could always be struck by a meteor while washing the wax off!

When I was young my Dad used to hunt ducks. Whoever found the first piece of shot during the meal was awarded the "bee-bee prize".

Seems fair enough, although I think having a standard Reply, like the one utilized in this instance, would be preferable to "editting" somebody's post? THANX SB
