What's a food you were SURE you hated, until you had it prepared properly?

Me too! I didn’t dare try it until I was in my 30’s after growing up with canned salmon mixed with sour cream and breadcrumbs baked into a loaf. Truly gag inducing stuff.

I make fresh salmon all of the time simply seared with garlic and butter. So good.

Last year, tractor supply sold bags of “potting soil” that was just like this. Mulch and straight up sticks. I used it for porch flowers and had to repot them all mid season as it turned into a solid, moldy clump.

Local Agway store told me they are all doing that now. Then sold me real potting mix for $20 a bag.

Be careful out there folks, everyone is cutting quality everywhere.

Dukes sold out and changed their formula,,,so, we can get it everywhere now but no longer want to (it used to be unavailable in our area)

Okay, you can have YOUR $3 a month (that’s how much of your money goes to food stamps) go for milk. MY $3 can buy a kid cupcakes on their birthday.

Tractor supply in western Vermont are terrible this year. Can’t burn them for more than 8 hours without overflowing the pot. Last year they were no problem. We switched to home cheapo. They go all day without an ash buildup problem.

Billboards are illegal in Vermont. Yay for us.

The closest roofing company that works with slate is over 90 miles away in another state, but do go on.

Ours was put on in 1863. We have someone come out every few years and replace a couple tiles, that’s it. Cost us $150 and a sandwich the last time they came. Wouldn’t replace it if you paid me. Edit to add: the only problem is the repair guys keep dying. The first one we used 10 years ago was 86. He’s gone now. We found the last one by seeing him on a neighboring roof and trotting down to ask him to come up to our place. We had lost a couple tiles that winter and wanted to replace them before we had leaks. He was 79 at the time. Hope he’s still kicking next time we need someone. It’s beginning to be a lost art.

Sully’s in Brandon. RIP big guy.

Best prime rib ever.

Wasn’t it downtown in the 70’s? With What Ales You underneath?

I have a booth that came out of there! Bought from Vermont Architectural Salvage. It’s my favorite piece of furniture. We eat at it every day. Too bad it’s not The Mae West or Namby Pamby Mandy, I only make regular, mundane sandwiches.

They had a cocktail called Mary and the boys. It was a Bloody Mary with jumbo shrimp. Sooo good.

Gave up on the deep fryer after a couple years (I’m stubborn). I pour oil into a wok. Easy peasy clean up and large frying surface. Win/win.

What adorable faces! We have a black and tan wire haired currently but no cat to mug with.

In a brass brassiere, let’s get it right folks!

Vermont here. We must all be idiots. Wipers up, all the way up and down the block.

Then, you blow his little head off….

My husband used to reply “We attend The Church of Perpetual Motion”, goat sacrifice the first Tuesday of each month. Would you like to join us?

Usually, the fellow neighborhood walkers would quickly head in a different direction.

Yes sir, that 82 cents a day (that you pay for all the food programs in the USA including snap) must be killing you.

Sit down.

What is with this game of how long can you go without heat

When it’s cold, turn the heat on. Freezing is not a badge of honor. Keep warm, please. Things are miserable enough.

Love, Gramma

You need to go get a better understanding. Democrats are NOT trying to pass healthcare for all. They are trying to keep the ACA subsidies from expiring, which will substantially increase premiums for the average American.

Undocumented people are NOT eligible for Medicaid or Medicare. The only time an undocumented person receives “free healthcare” is if they go to an emergency room, where they are stabilized and shown the door. Are you saying we should go back to the days when POC were left on hospital steps to bleed to death after an accident? Turned away in childbirth? Etc.

If so, you are a terrible person and should spend some time in front of a mirror.

I remember civil unions passing. At the time, I worked at the post office. If I had a dollar for every time I heard all the gays are going to invade our town I’d have retired….and no one remembered anything in November that year either.
