Canned is cooked. Frozen is not cooked. Do we have to explain
everything to this guy?

Broccoli with asparagus is major TIAD!!!!
I rarely cook asparagus. I trim away the tough ends slice it into
1/2" lengths, and add it to tossed salads. I like asparagus lightly
sauted and use it in a fritata.

[Cindy Hamilton]

That's nice. I like it grilled. Roll it in a little oil and salt, then grill
it until it has some blistered brown spots on it.

Cindy Hamilton

[Sheldon Martin]

That's good, I like asparagus minimally cooked.

Vegetarian Standard Meal. He eats the same damned thing every single
day.

It used to be his STD meal, but then he ran out of money and stopped
eating meat.

Cindy Hamilton

[Dave Smith]

I am doing a vegetarian meal tonight, chickpea curry. It's delicious.
The last time I had it was about a month and a half ago. I can't imagine
eating the same crappy meal day after day after day.

[Hank Rogers]

He still eats meat, but only if someone gives it to him.

[jmcquown]

The simple answer is "Broccoli, carrot and asparagus all moistly cooked

tender, drained and buttered over Brown Rice and my Sweet and Hot Beans!"

I do believe fos already knew that.

That sounds good. Do you have a recipe?

[jmcquown]

I find it difficult to believe fos doesn't know this. Did fos not read
what John himself wrote? "Broccoli, carrot and asparagus all moistly
cooked tender" yada yada yada. The repetitive subject itself explains it.

American Airlines ‘Roach Coach’ Boeing 777 Flies Again

On October 29 American Airlines sent an eight year old Boeing 777-300ER to their Tulsa maintenance facility for insect abatement.

A couple of weeks later the plane was out and back in service – but it flew a single Miami to Dallas – Fort Worth segment before returning to Tulsa on November 14.

Aircraft N724AN was still on the ground in Tulsa when I wrote about it in early December, scheduled out of service through December 20th.

I reached out to American Airlines on November 18th about the aircraft, and while they promised to get back to me with details they’ve been tight-lipped about the condition of the plane. From a passenger-facing standpoint, when there aren’t insect infestations, this is the best aircraft in the fleet.

American wouldn’t share word on just what insects invaded the aircraft, or what damage they might have done while there that’s caused so much time in maintenance. And they wouldn’t speak to why they thought the plane was airworthy in mid-November, but had to return for more insect mitigation work after only a single segment. Did it involve passenger experience issues, mechanical issues, or both?

A tipster shared,

I work for AA, in Tulsa. The plane is here because of a bad insect infestation; there aren’t any mechanical issues.

The plane came here initially because of the infestation, we bombed it 9 times, and then sent it out again. It came back shortly thereafter, because the 9 bombings weren’t enough.

Now, the plane is back on maintenance, and getting completely torn apart so that we can finally put an end to this infestation. The seats, carpets, lavs, galleys, floorboards- everything is coming out, so that we can get rid of this problem, and serve our customers better.

Well now the plane is finally back in service. It was ferried from Tulsa to Dallas on New Year’s Day. And on Monday it flew Dallas to London. It will then fly to New York, and is scheduled to then fly to Sao Paulo and on to Miami. Hopefully now after several months it is pest free.

We eat lots of delicious vegetarian recipes. AND vegan recipes. Also
we love eating eggs, dairy, cheese, chicken, duck, beef,pork,lamb, fish
and shellfish.

"Yum" as Kuthe would say.

ah. that makes sense. STD as in standard, not sexually transmitted
disease. my wife has been asking me to get my head out of the gutter for
the last 40 years. perhaps i should start listening to her. :/

[f...@sdf.org]

i eat a lot of vegetables during my work days. my lunch bucket always
has at least 4 different fresh veggies in it. today is carrots, celery,
radishes, and cauliflower. some fruit, a banana and a pear. a kfc gravy
container, 4-6oz are they?, full of kimchi. the last of the pork and
sauerkraut from new years day. i nibble all day on what i carry in. i
can't imagine eating the same things day in and day out for more than a
few days at a time. the veggies are always under constant rotation.
broccoli, snow and snap peas, string beans, bean sprouts, bok choy, etc.
if i had to eat the same stuff every day, i'd end up chucking it in the
trash and eating out of a vending machine. fuck that.

there's the explaination why i didn't know. i usually ignore subjects like
this, especially repetitive ones. yesterday was anomaly, the acronym piqued
my curiosity for some reason.

[Cindy Hamilton]

If he capitalized it as Std / VStd, it might help. But he's incapable of
attention to detail.

[Michael Trew]

It's not just you, I read the same thing every time, until someone here
enlightened me to the made up acronym. This group likes to make their
own acronyms.

there's definitely some weird stuff going on in rfc. and history between
some long time posters. likely most of which i'll never fully understand.
but it does give the group character. :)

That it does. I'm still trying to decipher it... even if I donate an
hour a day for almost the past year, and downloaded messages back to
2013 to reference, I still miss a fair bit. Lots going on here.

Speaking of acronyms, now I have to ask... how about "FOS" or "SDF"?

Flood of Sins. i'll just say it's possible i may be a much more
disturbed and seedy individual than what you see here in rfc right now.
