That could have been me.....I feed the birds and squirrels every day.

I want to share a picture in response to this but it ain't working.

I'll try and remember when they get the site sorted.

I had a squirrel chew off the top of my finch feeder and dive head first into it. He was so busy shoveling sunflower seeds into his cheeks he didn't even notice me tapping on the feeder.

I ended up giving him a great big twirl. That got his attention. He popped out of it and shook his head and then saw me. That's when he jumped down and dizzily ran off.

I have a picture to share of my squirrel proof bird feeder....will take a shot next time it happens.

Sorry about the gift @Boo. Now that I know maybe something savory next time.

no worries brother, I fell off the wagon when I saw the snowmen...I use a tbs. of maple syrup in my oatmeal with the blueberries so it's all good...I killed the snowmen, ate 2 a session...

My daughter just phoned from Louisiana on her way to her flight home out of Texas, after getting a rather bogus speeding ticket in rural Mississippi, wherein the officer was a newbie and likely clocked another vehicle that was going much faster. Revenuers!

Apparently, between the previous drought, and now the freeze, frozen, cleaned crawfish tails in rural Louisiana have doubled in price recently, from $10/lb. to $20/lb.

I said, "Holy SHIT!! In Maine, during season, I can get fresh lobster tails off the facilities along the dock for about that price!!"

But she scored some crab and shrimp-stuffed mushrooms for me, some spicy boudin, some (cured) locally made andouille sausage (I can afford to feed my cancer with class 1 carcinogens for a day or 2, I guess), 2 lbs. of crawfish tails, and some other goodies.

That's when she told me she's getting an identical cooler to the other one she used last time and sticking the frozen goods and some ice in there for an overnight stay in her hotel and a 9-hour flight, counting connections.

I plead with her to find a late-hours place that sells dry ice and to speak with her hotel about sneaking several well-marked packages into their deep-freeze until morning (though they may find that objectionable re. health department regs for restaurants and non-commercial foods in there), to increase her odds of success.

If the stuff arrives half-thawed, there's going to be one hell of an emergency feast here.

Does anyone here eat that plant based meat. I notice a lot of it on the store shelves now. I’ve never had it but see no point in vegetables shaped like chicken wings

Being fond of Cajun food, I was thinking about a teleporter.

Processed foods are bad and what's more processed than that!?!

When I was doing a vegan diet for cancer, I ate a bit of it.

Not all plant-based meats are equal.

Some of the fake sausages and hot dogs I sampled were nothing shy of horrid.

Impossible Burger and their primary competitor, Beyond Burger are among the better ones.

We used plant-based 'bulk' spicy sausage from Impossible Burger (if I recall correctly) on some of our pizzas, even after I ceased adhering to a vegan diet. Not bad at all. Texture is pretty good.

If you grew up around fresh, good quality beef, etc., you could tell the difference.

But for folks who miss the carnivore diet and have to adhere to vegan for one reason or another, the texture and flavor of the 2 brands I mentioned appease the yearning for a burger or a meatball sub, for example.

I ate the vegan cheese substitutes for a while, too. Again, some are better than others. None that I tried amounted to anything like a good mozzarella on a pizza, however.

Morning Star breaded 'sausage' patties, etc., and other products similar to them, taste OK, but they're nowhere near a sausage patty, just different and maybe decent, and any of these things that incorporate unfermented soybean products are not the best for you.

 

[moose eater]

And I'm a carnivore from Hell from way back.

When we had 5 people in the home, we consumed, per year, 1-1/4 moose, a half of a heavily-grained angus-cross beef, a tiny bit of pork and chicken from the store, holiday turkeys or ducks, maybe 60 (mostly smoked) sockeye salmon, and some halibut, rock fish, ling cod, etc.

edit: And some lake trout.

At the moment I'm chawing on a half-pound 92% lean bacon cheeseburger, with Tillamook sharp cheddar, 2 strips of uncured no-sugar bacon, sliced baby dill pickles, sliced sweet onion, romaine lettuce, no-sugar ketchup, spicy brown mustard... and a HUGE napkin.

Today's my wife's birthday, and she got a bit high on my Soul Mate, then had a hard seltzer, then took off to the kitchen to make her Keto brownies for her birthday.

Apparently, there was some sort of strange synergy between the ambiance of the evening, the seltzer, and the Soul Mate, because I fell asleep for a nap, and when I came downstairs there was a small mixing bowl with a minimally sweetened cream cheese, monk fruit/erythritol-sweetened filling, flavored with my Mexican instant espresso, another bowl with ever-so-slightly sweetened (with maple syrup) heavy whipped cream with Dutch chocolate in it, and a tray of Keto pecan and dark fudge chocolate brownies to slather with the two previously mentioned bowls' contents.

While the brownies were cooling, waiting for the slathering from the 2 bowls, the bacon cheeseburger images came about and turned into reality.

I like my wife's birthdays.

Lard is way healthier than the Fuckin seed oils.

True, dat. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you are going to use oil, use Olive Oil. Seed oils have been found to be carcinogen-enablers. <--TINS

Are seed oils unhealthy?​

Yes and no (but mostly yes). Because of the way they’re made, seed oils are typically very processed. Even worse than that, though, is they’re usually used to make ultra-processed foods — think fast food burgers and fries and anything you’d eat at a state fair or get in a package in the grocery store.

“Seed oils themselves have high levels of omega-6 fats, which can lead to inflammation.” Zumpano says, “and they’re mostly used to make ultra-processed foods, which causes inflammation in the body.”

Seed Oils: Are They Truly Toxic?

The most popular seed oils are sometimes referred to as the “hateful eight,” a reference to some people’s belief that they’re toxic and should be completely removed from your diet. But is the problem with seed oils themselves or is it with the way they’re used?

Good morning brothers and sisters!

A day of drizzle, starting at 44F and predicted to reach 53F.

My SIL has been staying with us for the last couple of days. Grayfox is taking her to her doctor appointments today. Not in a good space with spinal fracture and mangled toe, amid much whimpering and sniveling.

We are above freezing and all the ice gone from our roads and walkways!

Sadly the medial branch nerve block yesterday didn’t work this time, so I’m back to square one looking for a solution.

The tooling came in to reroute the furnace distillate line to sewer, but it looks like I ordered the wrong size hose barb, so will pick that up today and do the conversion.

My pictures won't load this morning, with a notice of server error.

These old bones need a soak. Jacuzzi here I come.

Don't forget the MagSulf.
Hope that helps.
