well, when cows come into the barn to be milked, heads stuck through the halter bars, tail end hanging out over the poop trough, feed dumped in the eating trough . . . there's nowhere for them to walk/stroll/saunter ala chickens. your chicken/duck/goat point is entirely valid - but few are so constrained to an area as dairy cows. of course, when 'backing out' cows are smart enough to not step in the poop trough - regrets, the poop does not always land precisely in the poop trough, so . . .

do not ever go to dairy farm....

typical the spot weld is mechanically broken - wiggle it back&forth until metal fatigue sets in . . .

actually, looks like a 20 amp 110v plug....

there's a bell dinging somewhere dimly.... I someone having the same issue - that battery pix triggered it . . . the spot welding is used because they use steel (instead of copper) - soldering as a repair is essentially impossible. if you can find a shop that does automotive electrical repair - the diodes in alternators are spot welded - they may have suitable equipment to spot weld the battery pack back together.

gosh. I have a 1978 plug in Bosch blenderizer shtick thingie that (as of yesterday) is still fully operational . . . maybe this battery powered stuff is not all it's cracked up to be . . . ?

.....Cornish Game Hens . . . . (sometimes) available at out local market..... any good preps / ideas welcome. an 8 pound fryer is not much exactly what two old empty nester birds needs . . .

in all my days, I have never heard or seen any place recommending bread flour for pancakes (or waffles).... I do them (batch of six) 140 g AP flour 50 g granulated sugar pinch of salt 1 tsp baking powder add one large egg beaten into 250 g milk(*) (*) the amount of milk depends on your flour brand - they all hydrate differently, so start thick and add more as needed I also agree, the thickness of the batter greatly affects the fluffy / height. pick a brand flour, stick with it. buying the cheapest store label usually makes for grief because they are not consistent. then experiment, and write down, the grams of each so you can replicate 'on demand'

pumpkin seems to be in the minority so far as flavors - ginger more prevelent... seems these cookies are made in a multitude of shapes... mold for round - other eBay offerings for rectangular https://www.ebay.com/itm/264214988833 recipe https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/yakgwa-11931061 info, no recipe https://www.reddit.com/r/KoreanFood/comments/hrumv1/korean_yakgwa_약과_is_a_traditional_tea_cookie_that/ linked recipe https://kimchimari.com/yakgwa-or-yakwa/ more history, but not recipes https://www.sweetoothdesign.com/cookie-yakgwa

"management" focus was a very fast and erratic moving target. every group brought a new focus which changed as each new focus and new approach tanked. 1997 - founded 2006 - sold to CNET 2008 - CNET merged into CBS Interactive 2020 - sold to Red Ventures 2022 - flushed

" . . . some tricks I’m not following. " also to question is: "brined how?" - most/(?) commercially brined pieces are injected; time is money, so brining something for hours (like home methods) doesn't fit their budget.

well, the internet at large does have "definitions" - but for everyone of those there's an exception.... for me it's a cakey type thingie that's more of a pastry.

Driscoll labels country or origin - and regardless of grower's love of berries, you're not going to find good strawberries from Vermont in February... Driscoll has stuff labelled "organic" - true/false/maybe - makes not difference - the boxes of organic look same as boxes of 'ther' - pale, green tinges to everything . . . obviously Driscoll's is sourcing the high class berries from someplace where they are in season, or near season "improved&better" by cultural techniques. I had a hobby greenhouse. I have tried to grow tomatoes/etc 'out of season' - it's a whole lot more involved than having a glass enclosed area....

Driscoll's brand is the usual for Giant in our area - but of late I see two 'levels' of product..... the usual wooden green center tasteless but looks like a strawberry . . . a upscale and very up-priced batch - they are definitely hands down superior - and at least double the price.... are they sourced from some other part of the world? hydroponic? grown by people who care? nadda clue - but iffin' I'm making strawberry crepes in Jan/Feb, those are my choice.

anything from medium to brick roux I do when I have the time to babysit it - then it gets cooled and frozen. blonde roux I do ala-minute - but the deeper colors/flavors do not lend themselves to preparation while the whole rest of the world is tumbling in on your dinner menu....

if you want to see what people are doing wrong with Italian dishes, you only have to stroll over to the next Italian village....

a human being puts out more methane per day than the few molecules that leak past gas cook top off valves. the "study" was done by a California group - they outlaw virtually everything. just consider the billions of dollar companies now must spend to label things "California Proposition xyz says this will kill you"

we have advanced to the point that fake newspaper is printed for fish&chips....

(edit to add.. this method is bacon from raw - not pre-baked/cooked in the oven....) I wrap two strips of bacon per "slot" in aluminum foil. ensure the whole package is wrapped tight - the foil prevents (rapid) desiccation of the bacon.... at best, open & remove as many strips as needed about 30 minutes prior to cooking. this gives the two strip units time to thaw so you can separate the strips. if you get stuck in the 'still froze' situation, give (two) strips 30 seconds at high to thaw, then separate and continue.... ...the microwave . . . for years I refused to do / believe - but it works just fine, as follows: m/w safe plate, two paper towels on the bottom single layer of bacon strips cover with single layer paper towel (prevents messy spatter) m/w on high one minute per strip (starting point . . ) NOTE! all microwaves are slightly different so you must adjust the 'one minute' guidance to the power of your m/w and also the degree of 'crisp' you prefer. for decades I was a fry-in-the-(cast iron) pan type. I've been converted . . . actually less greasy since the paper towels soak it up during the m/w. I've done 2, 3 and 4 strips on a 'two paper towel base' - for more qty of strips you'll need bigger plate and more paper towels to soak up the grease.
