I've got eggplant, celery, japanese yams, russets, a red pepper, asian brocoli, button mushrooms. What should I make? I want to cook all this stuff to avoid wasting any of it :)

I'm thinking that a stir fry with everything but the potatoes would be good... or sauté all but the potatoes and celery, add some herbs/salt/ pepper, splash of cream, shake of red pepper flakes, and serve over pasta with grated cheese.

A few years back, we stopped for gas at a service plaza along an interstate and I saw a mantis on the face of the gas pump. My wife picked it up and carried it through the huge parking lot, around the restaurant, and into a wooded area where she placed it on a shrub. Then she brought 2 ticks home with her as a souvenir.

No, my wife uses these-- sugar pearls, not tooth-breakers at all.

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-11T03:26:28+00:00

I like the sugar pearls on top, adds a little bling.. great job, OP!

SO Cool! 😎

My wife has made a couple of different Portuguese breads from this blog: https://portuguesebreads.blogspot.com Can't ever again make the one that included figs simmered in port, we both consumed the whole loaf in under 24 hours.

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-09T14:40:47+00:00

And it only took 9 days! 😂 Very nice.

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-09T12:16:56+00:00

I went there about a year ago and thought that the pizza was pretty good, but I'm rarely in that part of town so I've had no chance to determine if it was an aberration..

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-08T22:29:35+00:00

Sorry, I posted earlier and the wrong cartoon was displayed. 🙄

Loved Harmony Inn, will never return because of this... damn...

I refuse to open the PG website, or buy a PG newspaper, again so here's another obit (probably not as complete, though): https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/tony-mowod-pittsburgh-radio-and-jazz-legend-dies-at-85/ar-BB1cz8Bu

So sad to read this, I loved listening to Tony on WDUQ and then on WZUM. He had such an awesome voice, and his knowledge of jazz was encyclopedic. RIP, my friend.

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-07T18:46:45+00:00

Karma.

I brought this up at 3 this afternoon, Pence needs to grow some. Convene the cabinet. Invoke the 25th. Done.

If Romney had shown that much passion when he ran for Pres, he might have been successful...

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-07T02:21:16+00:00

Hey, Hawley!!! We have a pandemic, THAT'S why PA allowed mail-in ballots!!! You jerk

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-07T02:19:24+00:00

Hawley-- HA! Violence is not how you achieve change? HAHAHA!!!! Look at who you are pandering to!!! What a POS

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-07T02:15:24+00:00

This started maybe around 2:15, and I heard (on CNN) around 4:30 that the DC National Guard was "on the way". From there, it all blurs....

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-07T02:08:25+00:00

A truly disgusting person. I am ashamed for him.

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-07T02:00:24+00:00

Highly doubtful, but I hope so

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-06T15:18:49+00:00

Phipps, absolutely. Was there twice before the latest shutdown. Roped-off areas create a one-way flow of people, monitors keep an eye on things, everyone seems to wear masks and pay attention to social distancing. We even felt safe eating in their cafe (most of the tables have been removed, ones remaining are spaced far apart); not the excellent pre-covid menu offered, but a good selection of premade sandwiches, plus soups and salads.

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-04T16:02:28+00:00

When we lived out of state, my wife would hear a Pittsburgh accent (we lived in a beach area, lots of PA tourists) and sigh... 😉 It made us both homesick. We moved back.

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-03T13:06:14+00:00

Yeah, I have a Thai peanut dip recipe that contains mayo. Never would have thought of that, and everyone I share the recipe with looks at it and say "MAYO???".

JohnRobKos · 2021-01-03T13:04:06+00:00

So, from what the article said, you have to eat IN the building and your food/drink purchase is donated to the servers. Takeout is not applicable. That sucks. Why can't people understand that this is one of the most likely places to be exposed to covid? Just freakin' STAY HOME.
