I washed sheets and hung them out, clean the cat's litter box, and gave
her a dose of medication for a bladder problem. Before that, I washed
the supper dishes.

Looks very good! I know you add other things but you do
seem to have a very limited veggie diet menu.

You might want to consider taking a multivitamin each day.
I eat fairly well but I alway take 1/2 each day just in
case I'm missing a little something in my diet.

Just something to consider.

[John Kuthe]

NON-FUCKING-Sequitur, bitch!

John Kuthe...

[John Kuthe]

I eat lots of other stuff too!

And here's the recipe for Garlic Potatoes:

It's a recipe from a local restaurant that I got in a newsletter years ago. I'll give you my slightly modified version:

5 lbs potatoes

4 cups 40% cream

1-1.5 heads of fresh garlic (not the stuff in jars!)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp white pepper (black pepper works too, but makes black specks in the sauce!)

Gruyere swiss cheese


Peel (optional I suppose) and slice up the potatoes into chunk slices about 1/4 inch thick. Peel and mince the garlic, and I pare that little green plant out of the middle of each clove (A PITA, but it's kinda fun too!)

In a large pot, put the potato pieces, the cream, the garlic and the salt and pepper and bring to a gentle boil for about 10-15 mins. Thin with a little milk to make it easy to stir.

Then pour into a shallow baking pan like a lasagna pan, and grate Gruyere cheese on top. Bake at 350F for 40 mins or into until the Gruyere gets light golden brown.

Let sit for 30 mins after baking, and enjoy!


And they are DELISH!! Used to be served at Riddle's Penultimate on Delmar in STL. Their chef in the early 1990's was Andy Ayres and I hAve an early '90's newsletter from Riddle's with the recipe in it. I used to make them for our family's Thanksgiving dinners.

First thing out of bed this morning I peed.

[bruce bowser]

Running around the track at a nearby school is even better.

[itsjoan...@webtv.net]

You posted what you did Monday as if we were all on the edge of our
seats awaiting your announcement, so I posted what I did. Cruel as
it might be, n.o.b.o.d.y. gives a big rats ass what either of us did
yesterday. There, I've broken your heart proclaiming the truth that
nobody cares what we do.

[Gary]

Don't know what that has to do with the above but I will
disagree with you. I used to run around the track at the
local school for timed speed work. Only thing more boring
is running on a treadmill at home.

[jmcquown]

All of your posts could be considered non-sequiter, Kuthe. No one gives
a shit if you made garlic potatoes *again* (learn to cook something new
for a change) or mowed the lawn or about your friggin' musical choices.

His "VSTD" is B O R I N G. I can't imagine eating the same thing day
in, day out. There are so many other "vegetarian" choices.

[Sheldon Martin]

When potatoes and other vegetables are boiled a good part of their
vitamins and minerals go down the drain with the cooking water. Smart
cooks save that water for soups and baking, can be frozen for later
use.
My doctor sends me for a blood work up each year, partly to determine
what vitamins to recommend, he's not into the multi/one-a-day kind,
can be taking too much of something you don't need that can cause
harm.

[Gary]

That stuff never worked on the ferrets the one time we
got a flea invasion.

How narcissistic of you (once again) John. Sheldon has been posting to
RFC since the early days of Usenet. Not via Google Groups.

Question: How many years have you been reading/posting here that you
don't know how old Sheldon is?

Answer: The number of years don't really matter. The real answer is
because you never paid a lick of attention to posts wishing him a happy
birthday over the years. If you had, you'd know how old he is.

You don't know because the only thing you care about is yourself. We
all know you're 60. I, for one, don't give a shit.

So not only do we have to mow our lawns in time and make sure we don't
have clover or dandelions, we're also judged by how often we wish
people a happy birthday.

I wish everybody a happy birthday, whether in the past, the current or
the future!

[cshenk]

I dunno about that. I a *not* a vegetarian but if you accept eggs, milk
and milk products, I have not had 'meat' (including seafood) for 3 days.

Some chicken thighs defrosted for tomorrow.

Things used:

Cauliflower
3 versions of cabbage
Summer squash
Mustard greens
broccoli, 2 versions
onions
Cucumbers
Potatoes, 2 versions
peanuts
acorn squash
butternut squash
garlic
rice
spelt bread
cashews
Kholrabi
oranges
grapes (purple)
Kiwi
Apples
Blueberries
Strawberries
Fresh bread

I think it is likely John eats morr variety than the posts.

Then you've eaten like a vegetarian for 3 days.

>Some chicken thighs defrosted for tomorrow.

Damn, you were doing so well!

[Gary]

Well, the Frontline (for cats and ferrets) didn't do anything.
And I tried the flea sprays (on carpet), flea powders on
carpet...sprinkle on then gently spread it with a broom. Then
vacuum it up. Tried the borax powder the same way.

What did work well (temporarily) was to give them a
shampoo every 2 weeks. Flea shampoo not necessary, I used
regular shampoo.

Fill a gallon pitcher with soapy warm water. Rub some
straight shampoo around their necks then immerse them
in the water right up to the neck. All the fleas below
the neckline drowned then I had to use tweezers to look
for and pick them off their heads.

At the very end of shampoo, dunk them underwater in a
5-gallon bucket to rinse.

They loved the warm baths and didn't mind. But then
they would collect more from the carpet.

Little bit at a time, it worked but it took a long time.

The entire flea problem was me. My ferrets never went outside.
Fleas outside would jump on me (they're attracted to body heat).
They never bit me but once inside they would jump off and
into the carpet then would jump on ferrets as they ran by.

[Gary]

You're actually right, Sheldar. I was the one bringing them
into the house. A flea collar on both shins might have helped.

foraging for their normal diet, and die. We buy waterfowl feed in 50
pound sacks and feed the recommended amount so that she will continue

This year she guarded their babies.

True dat. I do believe he's 60 but it's a case of arrested development.

Only if count hearing over and over about his "VSTD" meal which
invariably involves garlic potatoes or baked beans. He's even BORING as
a vegetarian.

Surely someone who actually *is* a vegetarian could chime up and offer
him some better food options! It wouldn't matter. He's too caught up
in his own story. Classic narcissist, the diagnosis of which includes
not being able to recognize it in himself.

Nice to hear about the resident goose. I bought a cornish game hen
today. Doesn't count as resident wildlife but it *is* OB Food. :)

You dunno about that what? I said there are MANY other vegetarian
choices. Your (snipped) list, aside from the chicken, rather proves it.

He's never posted anything or expressed any interest in what anyone else
here posts about cooking. Never chimed in and made a suggestion.
Besides, when the heck would he find the time? He's too busy posting
crap about mowing his lawn and copper nails and his electric car and
he's "rippin it" and other stupid shit. He occasionally buys mangos.

His mode of cooking strikes me as rather institutionalized. Don't
forget, he's bi-polar. His meals are repetitive.

Now one wonders if there's a correlation between bipolarity and

For some crazy reason, birds tend to like/trust me. That's not the case with other animals. I understand why dogs don't like me. I don't like them much either.

John followed me here, like he previously followed me to alt.punk, where he also made an ass of himself, and he projects his narcissism onto me. Hey, I might be a bit conceited, but I am also self deprecating on occasion when it's true, and I can get a laugh at my own expense. It seems like his therapist has advised him not to project his illness onto me. That's an improvement.

Jill, because of your snipping, I think you missed the point. He eats
other things too but doesn't post often on what he eats.

Example: Gai Lan (Cantonese for Chinese Broccoli) was up there as the
other version of broccoli. Have i ever posted a recipe with it here?
Probably not, but may have.

My assumption is he eats a lot of other things than what you see
recently posted about. Like many here, he may be mentioning just
special dishes that made him smile that day.

[Hank Rogers]

He seems to still miss you. How many years has he been following
you around, and how did it first start?

[jmcquown]

No you missed the point. Those are things YOU had on your list. Not
any list of things he's ever mentioned cooking. Get it?

More to the point, has *he*? I'm 99% sure he never mentioned Gai Lan
anywhere ever. That's your thing.

Hey, I might be a bit conceited, but I am also self deprecating on occasion when it's true, and I can get a laugh at my own expense. It seems like his therapist has advised him not to project his illness onto me. That's an improvement.

You call each other narcissists. Maybe you're both right? In that
case, one of you might make it to President.

Larry David? Leisure Suit Larry? Happy as Larry?

If he didn't dye his hair black, he'd look a bit like John:

Oooooooh, THAT Larry.

[jmcquown]

Why not? I like cornish game hens even though it's been a few years
since I bought one. They're the perfect size for a single person.
There are many different methods of preparation.

I was NOT mean to you Bryan. I simply probably correctly diagnosed you here on Ras having NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. And I freely admit I have Bipolar Disorder for which there are several good medications effective at moderating the symptoms of Bipolar Disorder. Unfortunately there are NO medications effective at moderating NPD.

Even cannabis won't work? I thought it cured all mental problems.

Bryan, you'll never be free of John until you lose all that
hatred.

[Ed Pawlowski]

True, and when you denigrate others you just make yourself look bad.
Accept people for what they are and avoid the toxic ones as it is bad
for both physical and mental health.

[jmcquown]

What the heck is "Ras"?

Methinks you need to look up the definition of "narcissist", John. You
post the minutiae of your life, ad naseum. When you don't get the
attention you crave you whine like a spoiled little kid and say everyone
here is stupid.

Why don't you run along and make some more "English" toffee? It's the
one thing you appear to be good at. Too bad you never followed through
on the candy making venture you kept bragging about. :(

Oh, you fuckers and your "hatred" bullshit. Hate is not a bad thing.

He doesn't live on Garlic potatoes. He eats many other things. He

Can you grasp the concept of 'example'?

He's not living on garlic and potatoes.

He's found something he likes and makes from time to time. Other times
he's posted many rice and beans pictures.

[Hank Rogers]

And don't forget, he has a new $200 camera!

[cshenk]

I did like it! I make something not too far off it. I add Vadouvan
curry and mushrooms (fresh works best for that one).

A lot of my recipes are very simple too. Don't let the detractors tell
you simple can't be good.

As you have seen, I am *not* a vegetarian but I definatly am a low meat
eater. Most 'meats' I eat are seafood based.

As you know I like Asian veggies after my tour there.

Here's one I think you might like. Very simple to put together and
quite inexpensive.

Serving for 2 (if just you, 1 leftover).

1c cabbage, Bok Choy, Napa, head type in red or green

1/2c carrot, shaved with peeler or thin chopped (or shave with peeler
then thin chop the remainder)

2 cloves (small) minced garlic

1 tb oil you like and a small pan. I like Olive oil here and use a
cheap one.

Add the garlics to toast in the oil then add the rest and toss it about
to coat, then cook to your liking. If you like the garlics browned
that takes about 1.5 minutes and to cook the rest is about 1 minute if
you like crisp.

Sure you can add more, but sometimes, simplicity is best. Eat alone or
over rice with beans.

[cshenk]

Actually, they work for 2 if you are low eat eaters.

[John Kuthe]

Which easily allows be access to it's image files ON MY WinXP machine, because my WinXP computer is a real computer! Not a TOY computer like my MacinSLUT which allows Surveillance Capitalism. The reason MicroSUCKS discontinued support to WinXP which does NOT support Surveillance Capitalism but MicroSUCKS does! ;-)

I'm a computer engineer, remember? I know how computers work on the INSIDE but that does not mean I know how to tell you how to make YOUR computer work, because that is all SOFTWARE! And any Nood can write software and usually DO! Usually badly too! I know!

[John Kuthe]

Nope, not a cure, just a treatment! Like the 5000 year ago Chinese emperor who had epilepsy and treated it with cannabis which he took every day to treat his epilepsy.

She lost her hatred when she finally got away from you. She knew
your question didn't deserve an answer as she was concerned about the
safety of her child. Just because she didn't answer you does not make
you right; it made her son safe from your crazy grasp. She wanted to
give him a chance of a normal life which you couldn't provide. She
was more concerned with giving him a stable home which he would not
have had if he'd stayed around you.

John Kuthe...

[jmcquown]

Yeah... you attended school for a hell of a lot of years, got two
degrees and didn't do much else. I'm surprised you managed to sire a
child. But don't forget, you're 60. Your son is an adult. He can
decide for himself if he wants to have anything to do with you.
Remember whining on Father's Day because you didn't hear from him? Ever
wonder why?

Jill

[jmcquown]

Not to mention, she met a nice guy and there was no custody order that
said they couldn't move away. Better for the son, no doubt. I don't
hear him claiming he contested the move or custody. It's too late to
bitch about it now, John.

Jill

[jmcquown]

That's why I mentioned different methods of preparation. I generally
split the hen in half and grill or broil it. Brushed with a combo of
butter, neutral oil, garlic and herb seasoning, cooked until the skin is
nice and crispy. It's quite nice. Or if you'd like something a little
spicy, lightly coated in flour seasoned with salt and a bit of cayenne
pepper.

The only time I cook the whole little hen is at Thanksgiving. With
cornbread dressing on the side. That's a long way off. No reason I
can't cook a cornish game hen in the meantime. :)

You see how much he cares about your ideas about his VSTD meals? Off on
