Minor prep cooking this morning

[Gary]

Almost done too.

Large skillet with some olive oil and butter.
Cook down a pound of onion and a pound of mushrooms (white).
Then add a little water and a lid and let it all cook more.
Finally, take off the lid and let some of the liquid
evaporate but still leave it very moist.

Good to add to almost any food.

[GM]

I am making a vegetable relish...this week's include red onion, celery, all colors of bell peppers, corn, garlic, jalapenos...I use up quite a lot, it is good as a relish, added to salads, or just by itself...

Only if you like mushrooms. ;) Do those onions turn out to be
carmelized at all or just soft?

[Cindy Hamilton]

I went to the store this morning and picked up 3 chickens and
10 pounds of frozen turkey parts (drumsticks and wings). Later
today I'll roast the chicken; tomorrow I'll make chicken stock.

Next weekend I'll roast the turkey parts and make turkey stock.
I would have preferred a whole turkey, but they're hard to come
by this time of year. One store in town had Jennie-o brand,
but those always come with a load of chemicals that make the
stock taste weird.

I do love mushrooms (all kinds).
I guess you don't.

This time I let them cook a little longer and they
were carmelized. I have mushrooms with a nice onion mush.
Normally, I go for soft but still recognizable onions slices.

Not a fail this time, but different.

I'm out of chicken stock so will make more today or tomorrow.

I should look for turkey parts. I love that stock much better.

For those in the cheap seats that can not figure out what a word
should be out of context I will help Pickled... Ya know sometimes
spell check is not a good thing.
It is those time when said spell check is putting out incorrect
information that the reader generally will have to rely on their
common cents to try and put 2 and 2 together and actually get 4 unless
your name is joan and you end up getting like 4u3.c#0. Now speaking
reasonably I have no idea how she or her or whatever would come up
with an alpha numeric value for a simple math equation, but I have no
doubt that is the exact answer joan would come up with and swear to
her almighty sky daddy that it is the correct answer.

You may be right, but picketed and pickled are quite different. Of
course, if one gives one's spell checker free reign anything is
positronium.

*YAWN*

For someone who claims (falsely) to be super intelligent, and we should
be in awe of your super-brain, you've got the worst grammar here. Your
writing skills are laughable as well. But congratulations!! Another
prize for more run-on sentences; I bet drool was running down the side
of your mouth as you laboriously pecked out the above drivel.

He said his IQ was 120 or something. That's alright, but not super
intelligent.

[itsjoan...@webtv.net]

I think he meant to type 20 and his finger slipped. He's certainly not
overloaded with brain cells.

So many of these homonyms break down over regional accents. Where I'm
from, marry and merry are pronounced the same. Aunt and ant are also
pronounced the same here but not elsewhere.

There's an amusing Scottish song which uses marry, merry and Mary, words
which in some areas are pronounced identically (not in most of Scotland,
though).

My NZ cousins pronounce fairy and ferry the same - really confused my
mother when she was visiting them.

These things make the English accent hard for foreigners. The
difference between bet, bed, bad, bat. Or hat, had, head. Lucky that
you don't have het and hed.

Maybe one can have (great) intelligence but apply it wrong.

[Bruce]

I guess Kiwis sound as funny to Australians as Australians do to
Americans and English.

Australian soldiers are in a desperate situation during the war.
Suddenly English soldiers join them. An Australian soldier says to an
English soldier: "Did you come here to die?" The Englishman replies:
"No, we arrived yesterday".

You're not wrong, but you're not right, either.

As you have seen, you are judged on the quality of your writing just
as people are judged on the basis of their appearance, their car's
appearance, or a host of other factors.

For the most part, I cannot be bothered to correct grammar and spelling
on Usenet (unless it's a funny typo), because I used to get paid
to copy edit and proofread technical manuals.

Maybe over there on the fabulous Quora, y'all post like you're on a chat
group. But if you notice, if you have the sense, people here post in
full sentences. With proper punctuation! And with proper grammar! I
know that head injury makes you think you're on par with Albert Einstein
but face it, you're no candidate for the Mensa Society.

I don't really care as long as I can understand it. I do appreciate if
people don't use endless Google Groups lines and if they sometimes
start a new paragraph if the post is long.
But that's no biggie either, unless you're Greg Sorrow and you post
entire copied articles in Google Groups diarrhea format. But that's
always right-wing propaganda, so it's easily skipped.
