That is pretty much it. It is a mini kitchen thing. There is a big
fridge though. Martha and Sara were over last night dealing with the
last plans. I think it will be a decent meal. I will do the hams and
the mac and cheese. Steven is doing the green bean casserole deal.
Martha is doing potato soup. Sara is the worker bee. Both of them
are more than capable of helping pull this off. Well, unless Martha
is drinking. I can always tell when she is into the sauce. Her two
labs sneak over for forbidden treats. They are fat. I like to sneak
them those snausage deals. I won't give them to Missy. She will get a
milk bone type thing.

Anyway now that I know I am Miss Daisy in the neighborhood AND Steven
has known it for a long time I'm now calling rank. I'm not sure how
to be Miss Daisy. She is a much better person than I will ever be but
the neighbors have associated me that way. I am sure they are all
terrified when I haul Steven's Jeep out of the garage. Well at least
I do not drive the Nissan. It is bigger than I thought.

I am still unhappy about this Miss Daisy thing. I need to make sure
that camera deal work in the back of the Nissan. I did not mess with
it a lot.

Is my lot in life to be a middle aged housefrau? I guess if I give
back it is okay.

Well,I'm yappy this morning.

Michael

Michael, I wouldn't worry too much about being "Miss Daisy". I think
it's being used affectionately, as you seem to be well thought of in
the neighborhood. Most of us never know how we're referred to behind
our backs. In many cases, not knowing may be a good thing, but I
think yours has a certain charm, seriously.

Apparently that is how I'm thought of. I suppose if I had to be compared
to someone Jessica Tandy would not be a bad deal 😉

Hey, it could be worse, frex the Martha character in _Who's Afraid of
Virginia Woolf?_...

You know, it's not just Kosher keeping Jews who don't eat pork. Muslims
don't eat it either. And there are many other people aside from Jews and
Muslims who, as part of their religous beliefs, do not eat pork.

Who the uck - fay "cares" about stinking verminous Muzlims...the backwards
Stone Age [censored] should ONLY be served pork products. Then maybe they'd
starve to death and we'd be rid of the scourge of their evil presence.

Canned meats (primarily made of beef) always smell like dog food to me.

What's more -- I generally think it is! The can I was talking about has
no smell of this whatsoever; I would swear it's been in an autoclave
;-))

The one rare exception is when I get a craving for Underwood Devilled
Ham, but that's not beef.

I ate that many years ago and loved it -- but my imagination got the

Snouts and ears? :-) I never think about it.

Next time you eat it, THINK: Snouts & Ears! snouts and ears!
Think! Snouts and Ears! everytime you see a can in the grocery store.
In fact, before you drop off to sleep tonight, make up a little sing-song,
so that the next time you open that can, It's, "Snouts and Ears."
You will then think about it. You will then think about it.
Oh, forget about it, you will never do it.

Why do you think that?

Think?

Quoted message said:

Know.

Quoted message said:

If you disagree, then just spit it out and explain your
reasoning. Or is this some sort of bluff?

Not at all. I just don't understand the logic.

People with dietary restrictions for religious, ethical or health
reasons, don't usually give up those dietary preferences and
restrictions when they go into hospital or are ill or dying.

Religious and ethical reasons for not eating particular foods
aren't dietary restrictions. Those are food phobias. Obviously
I'm referring to medical dietary restrictions. and when you're
dying of AIDS, I kinda doubt you (or your doctors) care if
something is fattening.

I think t's important that you keep pork products out of the food.

Just my two cents worth.

Here's your $.02 change.

Nothing worse than being lectured by a devout WebTV'er.

If the temperature is low where you live, how about Gulasch
(goulash?[1]) ? You'd just need some big pots and a portable heater.

What goulash ? Beef,pork,veal,potato, mushroom,...

Okay, look, I'm not trying to ruffle your feathers Goomba, or anyone
elses for that matter, but the thing is when anyone is attempting to do
a good thing for others foodwise it is important to remember that some
people do not eat certain foods, swine for insatance, because their
belief system prohibits it.

True enough, as long as there are other foods available to them that
they can make a meal out of then all is well. But if the main course is
an item that is prohibited to them because of their religous beliefs
then it pretty much leaves them out of the picture for the meal.

Being a vegetarian or a vegan, that I believe is based on personal
dietary preferences, for health or other reasons. A person who does not
eat swine for religous reasons does it because they follow the dietary
laws handed down to Moses by God. So to them a pork chop is not the same
thing as a pot roast as, I believe, you mentioned to Janet (?). All at
is not the same when to certain religous practicioners.

As for the hate spewing from Greg Morrow's post regarding Muslims, shame
on you. Methinks you would be one of the first hollering for justice if
someone spoke that way about homosexuals.

Mushroom goulash sounded good to me. Here's a recipe I found - how is
your recipe different? I doubt the tomatoes are essential.

http://recipes.epicurean.com/recipe/4024/mushroom-goulash.html

Mushroom Goulash
Hungarian Stew

Ingredients:
3 Large Tomatoes, Peeled & Quartered
2 Tbls Canola Oil
2 Medium Onions, Chopped Coarse
1 Tbls Sweet Paprika
4 Pale Green Roasting Peppers, Cored, Seeded & Cut Crossways Into 1/4"
Strips
1 1/2 lb Large White Mushrooms, Stems trimmed, Cleaned
1 Cup Plain Yogurt
1 Tbls Parsley, Chopped
3 Cups Cooked Wide Egg Noodles
1 Tbls All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
Pepper
Salt

Directions:
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Coarsely chop the peeled
tomatoes. Set aside.

Heat the oil over low heat in a large, heavy pot. Add the onions.
Cook, stirring steadily, until wilted (about 10 minutes). Sprinkle the
paprika over the onions. Cook, still stirring, 1 more minute. Add the
peppers and the chopped tomatoes. Cook over medium heat for 10
minutes, stirring once or twice. Add the mushrooms. Stir well. Cook
for 5 minutes.

Combine the yogurt, flour and sour cream in a bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup
of the juices from the cooking vegetables. Remove from the heat. Whisk
the yogurt mixture into the vegetable mixture. Season with salt and
pepper to taste.

Serve immediately over boiled egg noodles. Garnish with chopped
parsley.

Yields 6 Servings.

You're not ruffling my feathers, LOL. I'm just trying to point out that
it isn't as common as you think to have such special dietary
restrictions on meals provided day in and day out by volunteers who are
doing the best they can. One meal, if it happened to have ham or pork is
just one meal. Another one will be coming around later on. If you ban
pork or any item entirely because of 1 who doesn't partake than (in
Michaels case) 60 other people are forced to NEVER have it and some may
want it now and then. So it is just common sense (IMO) to prepare food
that will appeal to the mass and provide enough variety to cover the few
who may have issues. It is just one meal.
