Coffee anyone ?

When I was in charge of training cashiers as assistant manager I would always make them count change back. They always said "the register tells me what to give them" I said and humans are giving it out. Never had an off drawer on my shifts

We are so old we dialed our friends on a rotary phone while listening to an 8 track!

AND a party line -- only answer on your ring and DON'T listen in on the others....which were there on the open line if you picked it up!! Talk about gossip --


I remember when bologna was only sold from huge rolls at the grocer, who cut off the amount you wanted and wrapped it. Bacon was such a treat back when they butchered and smoked, it was a special meal. Now, I must say, I love being able to buy and use anytime. Wright's applwood is a favorite. Of course, it costs only slightly less than a good steak. BUT, my favorite meal in summer is a BLT with freshly ripened tomatoes from the garden
The little cherry type tomatoes are grown as much so I can consume them from the vine as anything. Spring is coming!

I have several old cast iron skillets and they cook great! I like a grilled steak or burger but, I can cook a great one in those skillets! They make THE best cornbread pan you can find.

SO--- Happy New Year to ALL!! Remember that the days get longer from here on out It's sunny and 71 here right now Loving it!

Happy New Year to all. No sun here, but the rain stopped and the temp has been inching up since last night. Highs yesterday were 48 after a morning low of 37. Overnight it has gone up to present 59. Quite a breeze out there, but it will dry the top of the wet ground so that's all good.

but it will dry the top of the wet ground so that's all good.

Yeah, but only the top. Don't break thru.
Time to go check my beaver sets. Had to redo them yesterday after the floodwaters Dec 25-27 set most of them off.

What do you do with the beaver GB?

 

[Bruce]

He dances with glee when they die! Cause a lot of trouble at his place.

I know how to use it. That's what we used to use. Does that mean I'm old now?

Absolutely! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

As to the age and competency discussion, I've heard that some kids today don't know how to tell time on a real clock. If it isn't digital, they can't tell time.

And apparently they have stopped teaching cursive writing. My kids learned but I heard a radio show a year or so back where a guy in his mid twenties wasn't taught it. Don't know what the "education system" has decided they should learn that cursive was pushed out.

Leftover boneless shredded dead chicken

Sure glad you are using dead chicken. I ASSUME it was dead before it was shredded

AND a party line -- only answer on your ring

Actually learned that one in '79 when I moved to Vermont. Phone company said they didn't have any single lines available right then. BUT they didn't tell me just what it meant to have a party line. Never had one before. Phone rings? I pick up! Turns out I was not the 1 ring but the 2 ring. I did get a private line in a few months.

 

[Alaskan]

yes.
Well, I used crushed tortillas for the very bottom layer but slightly broken Doritos for the other layers.

It's probably illegal in Capitol Region NY.
It's a casserole type thing, named after a South Texas ranch, tho it has no verifiable connection to the Klebergs or the ranch..
Grated cheese
Leftover boneless shredded dead chicken (or in my case.. dead smoked turkey)
Corn tortillas of some kind.
cream o mushroom soup
cream o dead chicken soup
certain spices..
chopped green peppers, chopped onions, chopped cilantro, chopped peppers, jals, anchos, whatever..all sauteed in butter, mixed with the soups and dead fowl, layered between corn tortilla and cheese and baked.

Spouse makes it without the canned soups. Does use a can of rotel.
