Happy New Year, PUMA! ...

Or at least the Best we can realistically Hope for ...

RE: May 2021 be a MUCH better year than 2020

Technically - ONE of the World's most powerful countries ... But we get the Idea.

Who's Next?

This'll be Cool to look back on a Year from now ...

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

I have Nothing against Zucchini. I LIKE IT!

The Problem is that it's Hugely productive All At Once & keepin' up eating it gets monotonous.

The Veggetti® gizmo would help - Being another way to consume zucchini.
ALSO -
I'm guessing it'd be a Quick & Easy way to prepare zucchini to be frozen -
Which would Greatly extend the time during which it could be Enjoyed.

RE: More than 1.5 billion masks will pollute oceans this year.

@ Ches - Right You Are

But placing unwarranted Faith(!) in slapping the equivalent of a few squares of TP on one's face is Lots simpler & folks will go with "Quick, Simple & Easy" & trust to Magic Think.
Go figure ...

RE: More than 1.5 billion masks will pollute oceans this year.

I know a masker who got the Wu Flu.

He saw a doc for a backache - they did a test & he showed covid antibodies.
He'd apparently had it & been Over it for some time - He underwent No treatment for it.

He'd been struck by the dread covid & never knew it.

BTW - Agreed "May" is better than "None".
Wear the face diaper -
Just be aware that for Effectively containing a virus, the margin between None & May for a paper ear loop craft mask is NOT Wide.

Trusting One's Life To The Equivalent Of Few Squares Of Toilet Paper Protection From A Virus Is Magic Think.

Tofu Dessert/Snacks!!

Leave off the spices used in the Fried Tofu tutorial & sprinkle 'em with sugar, brown sugar or powdered sugar & Cinnamon.
For those with a Seriously Sweet Tooth - Dip 'em in Honey ...

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

Tofu? ...

It's Asian - Soy bean curd ... Kinda like soft, Very mild cheese.
Due to the blandness, it goes well with spicier foods ... IMO.

Another option - Possibly from the Murkun Melting Pot Cuisine mentality ...


We need to get MiMiArt here
MiMi's prob'ly Forgotten more about tofu than the rest of us will ever Know.

More Midwestern To Die For - SAUSAGE!

Again - Highly Regional & Often small town/rural.

MANY small Midwestern communities were settled by immigrants from various European regions. They brought their sausage making traditions & small meat markets feature local specialties the recipes for which arrived in Murka in steamer trunks 150+ years ago ... Bratwurst, Potatiskorv (Swedish potato sausage ) Kielbasa, Kishka ... ...

Some locales developed specialties Unique to their region of Murka ...
Smoked Fish & Cherry Sausage from the Great Lakes Region.
Apple Bratwurst - Made seasonally in apple-growing regions along the Upper Mississippi Valley. ...


The 1st Rule Of Murkun Cuisine - THERE ARE NO RULES!

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

Pumpkin ANYTHING is delicious

Add Pecan Pie to the favored pie list - it's Very rich & sweet ... Don't need Much of it.

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

"Do you make any desserts?"

Not much. I've Never had much of a sweet tooth - even as a kid.
If there's something sweet nearby, I'll eat it - If not, I don't miss it much.

Cocoa is good - but it needn't be sweetened ... UNsweetened cocoa/cacao seem plenty Sweet to me, though Most folks find it Bitter. Go figure ...

All that said - If a Pumpkin or Mincemeat pie is handy, I'll wipe it out Muy Pronto.

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

... Sounds Quick, Easy ... and Fun ... Works For Me!!

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

Not knowing how to spell Chef Gordon's name - I don't follow him closely. Obviously.
I don't follow recipes much - If it seems like it'll be "Fun", I'll give it a try ...
"Quick & Easy" is s Plus. Spending more time cooking than eating makes little sense. IMO.

Not having tried liver ... Keep a good thing goin', IMO.

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

More about y'all's Aji Dulce ...

"In Puerto Rico where it is called ají dulce or ajicito, it is grown commercially and used for sauces, such as recaíto, sofrito, and mojito isleño, other fish or meat sauces, as well as stews, rice, and other local dishes.

Luvvin' on fish - Those peppers are sounding better all the time! ...

Another good one for fish - Fish Pepper (Kinda obvious) ...

Rice, fish (Salmon?), blend of Aji Dulce & Fish Peppers - Could be, well ... FUN!

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

I've Not Seen the Impractical Jokers, but I searched it & will have a look.

We're speaking of the Real McCoy - NOT Virtual ...
And that toaster? It's a FOUR Slice model.

AND ...
Think of the Fun you'll have slipping the caper into a conversation -
Casually, of course ...

Friend - "So how was your weekend, Melody?"

You - "Not much to tell - Did a bit of smuggling - You know ... The same ol' same ol' "

Friend -

Assuming you Don't routinely engage in smuggling, of course. ...

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

Of Course I trust YOU! ... Absolutely!! NEVER a Shred of doubt

I merely added that Confirmation for the benefit of those here who might've been tempted to foolishly Persist in their waywardness. ...

Seeds On An Airplane.

I know - Right!!
I got relieved of an UNOPENED jar of Peanut Butter -
I guess it could be mistaken for some sort of explosive ...

I know a guy married to a Mexican gal.
They visited her folks & "smuggled in" a few seeds of a local hot pepper variety.
Put a few seeds in a shoe - They figured if the seeds were found, they could just say they'd just fallen in.

I got a few of the seeds - Definitely at the "Pain Is GOOD!" heat level ...

Score me a few of those seeds & it's worth a set of NON-virtual steak knives for ya -
I might even be talked into sweetening the deal with a Toaster! ...

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

Right You Are!

Confusion is understandable, as it quite widespread ...

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

Here's the deal on the Sweet Scotch Bonnet (habaNero) peppers.

Given their appearance & such they're classified in the "Broader Type Scotch Bonnet"-
They are, However, a SWEET cultivar of the Scotch Bonnet TYPE ... I had the knives sent directly to you - Could be that they went unnoticed.
On account of being Virtual, you understand.

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

Be Sure to include that phrase - Word For Word - in your testimonial to the Rare Seeds company ...

If THAT won't sell those seeds - NOTHING Will! ...

RE: Billo's Caracas Boys...

Hey Melody!

Send this to that Rare Seeds company - Word For Word - as a testimonial ... My son likes trying new food things & I'm working on him to get some of those seeds
