It’s been a few years since we’ve seen this A&J from 1993. Have you ever noticed how many of those quickie casserole recipes on Facebook include potatoes, cheese, ham or bacon, corn, sour cream and a variable ingredient or two? Of course they’ll be good! Most of the Kickstarter rewards that were scheduled for delivery in October have been sent. The T shirts did not go out until Monday, the last day of the month, so if you’re expecting a T, it might not have arrived yet. It should soon. However! The original sketches have not gone out yet. They will be sent by this time next week. I apologize for the delay; I’m sure you won’t have much trouble speculating about its cause.

Good heavens, are they that old? I MUST have owned at least one before one would think. I believe I have several now because of all the foods we did for Sail Oklahoma but I also had a tendency to tell people to take one if they needed one.
Will get liners if I don’t have them. Thought I might blow out electricity in kitchen using four at once to cook up twelve pounds of Chuck roast. Cajun pot roast po boys are delicious, if not particularly healthy. My help might like those.
Slo-cooker cleanup is a hassle? I must be doing something wrong; soap, hot water and a little scrubbing are all that is needed. Thanks though for reminder. Loon is out of town week after, great time to do cornbeef. Something I like that she hates.
Stuck big chunks in oven to defrost away from dogs and cats. They were family packs and are already cut into two pieces. One is Round roast, other is Chuck.
Love corned beef, New Orleans style, a tradition there. Called boiled dinner as I recall. Like pot roast but corned beef and cannot remember restaurant famous for it?
Steins Market & Deli on Magazine?
In addition to a traditional 8-qt Crock-Pot brand cooker, I have the “Stay or Go” 6-qt Hamilton Beach cooker with the gasket around the lid and clamps to hold it in place. Handy for when I slow cook something for those ravenous beasts I call my all-female staff. In fact, I have two of them, one still new in the box that I found on sale at Target a while back.
I’m so old I can remember when brisket and corned beef brisket were cheap cuts of meat, relatively speaking.
Debbe 😉 I hadn’t heard this one in a while.

Good morning Villagers….
OK….how many clocks does everyone have to set back?

I believe Fall has come, so nice out yesterday. Stopped by the ‘homestead’ yesterday. My sisters
and stepsister and all my BILs worked very hard on getting the home ready for the realtor. Now how soon the place will sell, don’t know, pray quickly. Be a nice Christmas if it did sell by then.
Still pulling in eggs. My poor Miss Prissies are hungry and cold. Been there personally, so know how they feel.
Have a blessed Lord’s Day.

If you’re reading this, I only got the Delorean up to 87 MPH when the lightning bolt struck the clock tower last night, and unless Doc Brown can come up with another plan, I’m stuck spending my vacation back in the mid-twentieth century.
He did rig up a version of his Flux Capacitor that connects to my laptop, but the electrical power requirements are so high that it caused an area-wide brownout (or “Doc Brownout”, as he called it) when I used it to connect to the InterWebNet to show him a cat video. (He didn’t get it.) Therefore, responding to blog posts may be a bit sporadic for a few days, and that assumes I don’t do anything in 1955 that prevents Jimmy from creating this blog in 2008.
Debbe, I was surprised by how many clocks I still had to adjust:
2 Microwave ovens
2 Cars
1 Clock radio
1 Wall clock
1 Glucometer
1 Watch for wife
——————
8 Total
All the computerized devices handled there own adjustments.
Debbe, ten manual sets, pc and phones do it automatically.
Jackie, my 6-qt. slowcooker is from 1979, and they had been around several years before that. Mine is neat one. The top is a regular metal pot with glass lid and Bakelite handles, which can be used on stovetop (great when you need to brown before cooking). It sits on a nonstick base which doubles as a griddle. Dial settings from 1-5, but no programmable timer, Ruth Anne. Similar to this current model, I think: http://westbend.com/cooking/slow-cookers/5-qt-oblong-slow-cooker-with

Hey, my post disappeared! DOGS went bezerk around 9 a.m. and I thought to myself, dang! I shouldn’t have missed my hair appointment yesterday, that is back to the future ghost in my driveway and I look awful. Turned out to be my rock mason working on flower beds. He has seen me in pajamas and bad hair more than anyone else probably.
I was disappointed however. PUTTING on a ball cap to go get crock pot liners and then going to get hair done anyway.
Hal appears a little beserk himself.
Listening to Sirius radio while I ran an errand and David Johansen is playing political songs. This one was written by Randy Newman but he played this version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI6Huftw4Nw
Later he played Newman’s Political Science; you can find that one yourself
I liked this one too – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-pT-w7qFl4
For the record, I picked this version for the sound quality rather than the video.
I love Randy Newman. Thank you Ruth Ann. I got the liner bags and loaded six pounds of round roast, two boxes of sliced fresh mushrooms and two bags of tavern pot roast sauce made by Campbells. I hope there is no limit on how much that you can do.
SWORE I was not adding more to food inventory, planned to cook up stuff in fridge and pantry. STILL came home with $260 worth of miscellaneous.
Found a brand new slow cooker in appliances locker beneath microwave. Put Ghosts sisters roast in that one with a layer of canned whole potatoes and canned carrots, added a fresh sweet onion. Everything else same I think. FANCIER one with time settings.
Cutting up other half to cook as beef stew or homemade beef and barley soup perhaps. Turning meat in my freezer into precooked entrees for my knee replacement approaching . I have to confess I am me tally trying to chicken out again and just live on with knees , which while a mess as orthopedic says, do not hurt that much.
Wish I had someone to talk to. Doctor says to plan on being out six months with each knee, so that is a year and same with the two rotator cuffs. That is two years from a life that may not be that much longer, even if all goes well. I am asking myself why I want to bother doing it.
And also asking myself what dream world I am living in with the boats, thinking of donating some and selling others and just stay home and garden, cook and read which is more than it sounds like I will be doing. YOU can tell I am a little more than depressed, Have heard nothing on Trigger, despite phone calls and messages. I fear a bad ending there as well.
Hey JAckie! Hang in there, dear. Take it one step at a time…. get the one knee done that is scheduled. It will help you enjoy the boat and the truck. Then decide about the other one or about the arm(s). Don’t make sweeping decisions while you are in this funk. Remember Ghost’s advice on that! And we’re here for you, too. {{{Hugs}}}
Bought new cookbook magazine from Cooking Light so no sticks of butter nor cans of soup or Velveeta. All scratch recipes for slow cookers. I have Ghosts cooking, the Campbell’s bagged sauce in second and third is Drunken Beef and Vegetables Stew for which I am lacking butternut squash, parsnips and a red onion, so that goes in tomorrow with other vegetables.
Found two good pork loin recipes for the seven pound pork loin. CUT in two, one gets dried plums which is euphemism for prunes. OTHER gets ginger, fennel and apple. Luckily I have doctors appointment where fennel can be found in large grocery store.
Llee thinking of coming to see you soon if you are feeling better. I will pack a big container of one of these entrees I am cooking up aND something like breads, salad and wine and come have a picnic with you. I may even spring for baking a cobbler since it is fall.
Anything going on next weekend in Carthage? I have tickets for Dwight Yokum on Thursday night and an Italian string quartet on Sunday but Saturday is open. I want to see you too.
Es gibt at least 6 Carthages in America, all presumably named after the N. African [Tunisian] city that Rome defeated 3 x, the last one apparently just for spite, leveling it to the ground. It is just ruins now, not far from Tunis. I mentioned it once in a column on camels, though camels were never used as work animals there.
In contrast, I can find only 1 American Pompeii, named after the city buried by Vesuvian ash in 70 C.E. [or after Our Lady of Pompeii, an R.C. church at the corner of Bleecker and Carmine streets in the Village in Manhattan, NYC]. Pompeii is smack in the middle of Lower MI, and less populous than most or all of the Carthages, USA. Extract from web below. There’s no justice.
Pompeii has a total of 174 people and of those residents there are 85 males and 89 females. The median age of the male population is 30.8 and the female population is 35.3. There are approximately 534 births each year and around 427 deaths. The race breakdown of the population in Pompeii varies per year, but currently 173 are one race and 1 are two or more races.
Peace,
Speaking of food, Bob just played this and I thought you all might enjoy it – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tdyG_tDI-k
My tablet is dropping my posts. CHECK the numbers emb on your statistics. SOMETHING sounds strange.
Jackie: ‘CHECK the numbers emb on your statistics.’ About Pompeii or the Carthages? Cc’d the P. bit straight from a stats website. There are several C. sites, but also 1 or 2 w/o sites, so don’t have stats for those. Which Carthage were you referring to? Have not been tracking you, and more than 1 are in the South. Peace,
