Betsy is making a blueberry
cobbler from the blueberries I got at a produce stand for $1 a carton.
I'd grind meat more often, but washing the grinder is a PITA, because
you're not supposed to put it in the dishwasher.

ARRGHH!!!! Some jerk delivery man drove his truck straight through the >entrance of the Aldi that is one mile from house on purpose!! I doubt
that store will be open again until close to the new year if even then.
The nearest Aldi now is about 8 miles north.

Was it on purpose. It seems to happen quite often around here with
smaller stores, the strip malls with those concrete stop blocks. It is typically senior drivers who claim to have accidentally stepped on the
gas instead of the break.

Yes, it was on purpose. The 34-year-old driver said he just wanted to do it and there was no self-harm involved nor a grudge against Aldi.

Do you use a piece of bread or ice cubes to push out the remaining dab
of meat to help with cleaning? I don't have a dedicated grinder such as
like yours, but I'm wondering if one of those brushes used to clean drinking straws would help cleaning those little holes of the dye?

There was a case of a much younger guy who drove into a donut shop in Niagara Falls and hit it at a pretty good clip. The store was closed for months and months while they rebuilt it. People were upset because in addition to great donuts he was also famous for his wonton soup.
This place is just a few blocks from a downtown area well known for
hookers. There was a young woman in the car with him who was not his
wife. Her name was "Crystal" and it happened around 1 am.

Betsy is making a blueberry

I haven't made a blueberry cobbler this year as I was hoping my neighbor would bring me a some from her mother's bushes.
I just added the cobbler pic to the album.
The only bad thing was that on the way back from the in-laws, the pot
tipped over and spilled some sauce into the trunk of the Infiniti.
Cleaning that was a project.
I bet that cleaning was fun. Maybe a large cardboard box for the pot to
sit in next time and a small bungee cord to secure the lid? I recently bought these from Amazon and described as fitting crockpot lids. But
as you can see, they can fit different size pots.

I keep a Rubbermaid bin in the back of my SUV for just such occasions. Usually it contains reusable grocery bags, but those lift out in a

Bollards? I wondered what those things were called, thanks. Bollards are a good
idea for places that have had improvised drive-through incidents. OTOH, I suppose
that in some locations, there's not enough room for the installation. This place
had a crash-through in a former life. There's not that much room at the entrance.

I keep a Rubbermaid bin in the back of my SUV for just such occasions. Usually it contains reusable grocery bags, but those lift out in a
trice if I need the bin for something that is or might be messy.
I used to carry 1lot of my kayaking gear in the back of my CRV.

Those giant round red balls in front of Target are used for the same purpose.
But some Targets do have the red bollards.

I ground beef from cheap steaks to make meatballs. A bit later, I'm
going to ALDI to get mushrooms to saute. I'll bring them to add as folks wish. I know my f-i-l will not "wish." Betsy is making a blueberry
cobbler from the blueberries I got at a produce stand for $1 a carton.
I'd grind meat more often, but washing the grinder is a PITA, because
you're not supposed to put it in the dishwasher.

We're having steak balls for lunch today. I really like it. Da Hawaiians really

good. That's kids for ya.

The Target balls are pretty awesome. Hopefully, they're big enough to stop a Toyota
Camry. I suppose they could just get propelled into the store and knock over some
displays. My wife likes those balls so much that she'll wear them on her toes.

I grew up on Oahu. I don't know what hamburger balls are. Loco Moco
though. And burgers. And, I guess, hamburger steak plate lunch with brown gravy.

Here's a couple of plates that you might like - a hamburger steak plate and a >Korean chicken and chili plate from Zippy's.

Hawaii has all these great food cultures to choose from and comes up
with this: carbs and dead animal, served in plastic. Sad.

It really does not. It's not generally resource-rich. Yes, fancy haoles
and some locals do have fruit trees and have access to mangoes and papaya >and access to fresh sea food and so forth, but there's very little
gardening and there's very little access to farming outside of cash crops >like coffee and macadamia nuts and so forth. And since you're talking

The thing that the Pacific Islands all share between all their cultures is >Type 2 Diabetes.
You'd think vegetables can be imported, at least frozen.
A gallon of milk in Hawaii typically costs between $6.00 and $10.00,making it the most expensive state in the nation for dairy products.
That reminded me of Larry "Wide Stance" Craig. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Craig_scandal
