Day 11: A Taste of Nostalgia
One of my favorite memories is getting a penny (that's right, youngsters, a PENNY!) from my mom and rollerskating to the pharmacy where a package of Pez cost that amount. It was fun to empty the shiny foil package into the preferred Pez head of the moment, but it didn't matter much, because I always finished the pack before I got home. There was something very particular about the way those babies melted on the tongue...they were creamier than Smarties or SweetTarts, and tasted like nothing in nature. I still love them.
Speaking of powdery stuff, I also loved Necco wafers, especially the "all chocolate all the time" packages. There were like a thousand of them in a roll. I liked some of the fruit flavors, but then you'd hit a green one that tasted like licorice which had been sprinkled with motor oil, and it just ruined the whole day.
It was the Bicentennial when I was 10, so I have some sweet associations with patriotic foods. One was a flavor at Baskin Robbins called Yankee Doodle Mint. It was green (like my still-fave Mint Chip) but had little pieces of clear green candy instead of chips. That stuff was freakin' awesome. I've never seen it since. Maybe I was the only one in the nation who liked it.
Since it was the '70s, we occasionally had boxed baked goods at our house (though my mother denies it now) and I was a fan of Zingers, Suzy-Qs, and the cupcakes with the squiggles. (Funny, I'm obviously not the only one who loved those, because Burger Lounge has a homemade version that looks the same but sadly, I have known Hostess Cupcakes, Hostess Cupcakes are a friend of mine, and they are no Hostess Cupcakes.) In 1976, there were Dolly Madison Stars n' Stripes cupcakes--one version had the stars, the other the stripes. I always got stripes, for some reason, and I'm still craving stars, because those were white with little red and blue stars, and what could be cooler? Sigh. Whither Dolly Madison Stars?
When asked my favorite restaurant, I used to respond, without irony, "Carl's Jr." I loved everything about it, and it remained a hangout well into my teen years. They had individual ketchup packs like tiny pudding cups, which was super-convenient, and also doubled as a puck for salt-and-pepper-shaker table hockey, always a lark, at least until someone's white Izod shirt got splattered in a too-enthusiastic defensive block. Does anyone else remember that the kid-sized cheeseburgers in those days--this was also true at Jack in the Box--had a light-brown sweet mustard-y sauce instead of ketchup? It was the most delicious sauce; I still crave it, and now no one's heard of it. I just wish I knew what was in it! It was probably sugar, MSG and ground-up mouse bones.
Another big family treat was Orange Julius. I hear they still have them but that the formula is not the same. It was this incredibly light, fluffy shake with a delicate orange cream flavoring. Mmmmm. My main memory of the Orange Julius restaurant near our house is their high stools with pointy finials on the edges--my brother (Mr. Accident Prone) slipped getting off one time, slammed his chin into the finial, and within seconds the place looked like the aftermath of a slasher film. Since we had taken the ferry over, we had to be escorted to the hospital in the back of a police car. I have a video-sharp image of being thrown over my dad's shoulder as we made a dash for the door while an employee ran after us, reaching out to give me an orange-shaped plastic coin bank ("Sorry your brother is bleeding--come back and see us soon!") but my dad was moving too fast and I couldn't quite reach it. I was so annoyed that my stupid brother had to ruin my opportunity to get a parting gift.

"I liked some of the fruit flavors, but then you'd hit a green one that tasted like licorice which had been sprinkled with motor oil, and it just ruined the whole day."
Hee! My father's favorite was Neccos, so I know exactly what you mean. :)
Mmm...Hostess Cupcakes... I still eat them, alas. Enough to know that the kind that come in the box do not taste as good as those in the two-pack sold in gas stations. :)
My childhood was filled with Pixie Sticks, those packets of sour, colored "sugar" that came with white candy dipping sticks, Marathon bars (braided caramel dipped in chocolate), and those pallid lemonade popsicles that schools always gave us as treats.
- Sam said...
Oh, Caroline, you have shown me that I left three out! Pixie sticks (yum) Marathon bars (I loved how the chocolate cracked and broke when you stretched the caramel) and, love of loves (I still love them!) Lik-a-Maid Fun Dip (what the hell kind of name is that?) with those scrumptious vanilla sticks.
I have the palate of a toddler. :)
- Mary and Paul said...
Yes, Fun Dip! Debbie Way and I would walk to the store with our allowance and buy tons of candy. Fun Dip was a fave.
And, what about Pop Rocks? I was OBSESSED with them. Just never drink soda with them, or they will KILL you!
O.K. and one more-remember Astronaut Bars??? They were kind of like a Power Bar. Those lucky astronauts got all the cool snacks, especially the freeze dried ice cream!
Great Topic!

"[S]till-fave Mint Chip"
You and Laura love Mint Chip.
What about unrolling Ho Hos? No, not rolling hobos, but unrolling Ho Hos. And if that weren't enough of a True Confession, I will admit my passion for canned Chef Boyardee Ravioli. And who didn't walk to the corner liquor store for Orange or Grape Crush in a bottle? Yum.
Argh, the things I say on the internets.
- The Wades said...
I'm with you on that vanilla stick for Lik-a-maid fun dip! Delish.
Post idea--you're on death row or whatever scenario would require a last meal--what would it be? Have you done that before?
My friend and I would walk miles for smarties (which we would sort by color) and candy cigarettes. It's funny imagining our own children pretend to puff away now a days.
Mmmm...love the Fun Dips. Truth be told, I still let my children "pick" them out from time-to-time so that I can selfishly enjoy "just a taste". I think I finally have them hooked on the Fun Dip as well! (Hee Hee, devilish plan.)
OK, there was something else that Hostess made & right now the name escapes me...it was basically a chocolate covered Twinkie. Anyone remember them??? They were good. I'm sure I'll pay for eating them any day now with a massive heart attack, but it may have been worth it.
Sam, I'm with you on the Neccos. I still love them. Highly dislike the licorice ones. Occasionally when I wasn't paying close attention, one would slip by and I'd remember that awful taste the rest of the day.
Alright, now that I'm craving everything bad...anyone up for a trip to Walgreens???
- Caroline said...
Were they ? My grocery store has started placing boxes of those next to the registers, and I had to buy one last month. :)
- Caroline said...
Whoops, that question was, "Were they Chocodiles?" :)
Caroline, Yes, Yes! That's it..."Chocodiles"! Did you love it? (I know it sounds like I should say "them", but actually readers, "it" comes packaged one to a package and was always sold separately.)
I haven't seen one since I was MUCH younger & living in CA. They also had them when we were in AZ, but NM never seems to have anything!

Today I finally got the chance to wander to the countryside of Iceland, and it did not disappoint. This is what I have been waiting for. It was just as beautiful as you would expect it to be. (Okay, maybe I really wanted to see puffins, and I didn't. So that was the only sad part. But there were those cute ponies…)
You leave the city and it really is just an endless wilderness. I'm not even sure if the pictures do it justice whatsoever, but it does come close. We explored the 300 km loop called the Golden Circle. Along the way we saw really fluffy sheep scattering the fields. Not only that, but Icelandic horses, which were absolutely adorable! Especially seeing them gallop across open spaces, there really isn't anything more majestic than that. There were so many of them! The scenery was composed of separating tectonic plates, geysers, vast landscapes, lakes and an astounding waterfall. There was not a single thing obstructing your views.
Seeing this pristine nature first hand was such an experience. There are so many untouched places in the world, so many places that people never see, so many places that humans have limited impact on, and this is one of them. That's outstanding. That's amazing to know that's below your feet.
It really is a lucky thing that I am able to be here. That I can stand feet away from one of the largest roaring waterfalls I have ever seen in my entire life. That I can have my jean jacket, pants, and hair soaked with pouring rain and mist. That I can experience beauty on that kind of level. That I can see the earth in its most vast and natural state. There's so much all around you, it's just what you choose to be a part of.

The Barn, now called Ed's Diner is exactly that, a local no frills restaurant with simple food choices. We had lunch at this restaurant and we chose to sit outside as the large inside dining area felt very empty. I was shocked at the low prices on the menu and when ordering questioned the quality of the food. My 200g rump steak however was cooked exactly how I requested it and at R60 it was dirt cheap. My husband ordered their famous burger which was not disappointing with a homemade patty which was delicious and huge. If you are looking for a relaxed pub type atmosphere with hearty cheap fare this is the place.

From Forbes McIntosh, Government Policy Solutions, WALA Lobbyist
The state Senate and Assembly both met this week - the Assembly twice - with long calendars on Tuesday and Thursday. Among the many bills that received final passage this week:
Senate Bill 417, ratification of the Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact, passed in both bodies this week.
Assembly Bill 151, which would define in statutes community paramedics, community emergency medical technicians, and community emergency medical services providers, passed in the Senate this week. It previously passed in the Assembly earlier this year. Under community EMS, EMS providers could provide additional non-emergency services to help reduce hospital re-admissions, specifically targeting high-use 911 callers.
Both bills now go to the governor for his signature

Small ladder-backed woodpeckers have been with us all winter. I've counted as many as five Downy Woodpeckers and three Hairy Woodpeckers in the trees behind the feeders or along the side of the powerline right of way at one time. It can get pretty contentious at the one suet feeder I've got hanging out there!
While snapping photos of the Goldfinch, a couple of Downy WPs came calling. This male (note the red on the back of the head) was intent upon getting to the suet and didn't give a fig that I was standing on the deck 5 yards away.
These little woodpeckers are actually quite tame. You can coax them to eat out of your hand, if you care to give it a try. I've had them come to the suet while I'm standing there refilling on of the seed feeders just a couple of feet away.
While they chase one another around the trees behind the feeders and sound pretty mean doing it, once their larger cousin, the Hairy shows up it's time for all to flee. (The hairy looks exactly the same except it's half again as large: 9 inches versus 6 for the Downy.)

NEW YORK — Viacom Inc.'s Blockbuster video rental chain is negotiating to increase its supply of new-release video tapes from the major studios, in exchange for giving the studios a share of the revenue derived from renting the extra tapes, sources say.
Blockbuster, which is struggling to stabilize its troubled business, is looking to stem the loss of customers who leave its stores empty-handed because all the available copies of a new tape have already been rented. Industry sources said about 15% of its customers leave without renting a video.
The video rental chain is close to a deal with at least some studios, sources say, and extra supplies of tapes could start showing up in Blockbuster stores in the near future.
Viacom deputy chairman Tom Dooley told Wall Street analysts on a conference call Wednesday, for the company's third-quarter earnings, that Blockbuster was working on an "arrangement with the studios" to improve its "depth of inventory."
Dooley declined to comment on details of the deals when contacted by Daily Variety, saying they were "confidential agreements with the studios." He added that the proposals "will be beneficial to both Blockbuster and the studios."
"We are trying to put more units in front of consumers," Dooley said.
Wall Streeters say that under the proposed arrangements, Blockbuster would pay the existing price for tapes supplied under the current formula. But some studios have agreed to supply extra tapes to Blockbuster at the cost of duplication, markedly lower than the usual price, in exchange for a share of the revenues.
The studios would get a cut of the revenues only after the tapes had been rented a certain number of times, sources said. Industry execs stressed that there was "no one deal" but instead different arrangements were being negotiated with different studios.
Blockbuster's attempts to persuade the studios to give it a break on the prices it pays for tapes went nowhere, sources say. This way, both the studios and Blockbuster may benefit, said Merrill Lynch analyst Jessica Reif Cohen.
The negotiations with the studios are one element in a recovery plan being overseen by Viacom's senior execs and Blockbuster's new CEO, John Antioco. Dooley said Wednesday that overhead reductions at Blockbuster's headquarters and January's opening of the chain's new distribution center should reduce the company's expenses, which would help to improve earnings.
But long-term earnings growth needs an upturn in sales, which have been declining through much of this year. While the sales decline appears to be leveling off, and same-store sales are flat so far in the fourth quarter, Dooley cautioned against estimating what the full quarter would look like.
Blockbuster won't open any new stores from Thanksgiving until June of next year, Dooley said, waiting to get its new distribution center up and running before it starts the job of shipping product to new stores. The center will open in January but it will be another six months before existing distribution branches are all closed.
After that Blockbuster will resume its new store opening program at the same rate as this year. Dooley said Viacom would likely spend $250 million opening 500-1,000 new stores next year both domestically and internationally.
That is 50% down from the number of new stores opened a couple of years ago. This year, however, Blockbuster will open just over 1,000 stores. Some analysts have called for Viacom to stop opening new stores as a way of preserving Blockbuster's cash flow, but Dooley said the new stores "are doing very well."

1. For the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), the agency that runs the trains and buses in the DC area, 2015 is its annus horribilis.
One passenger was asphyxiated in January; an empty train derailed in August, seriously disrupting service on three lines for at least a day; the agency is behind in track repair; the agency is without a general manager; lousy service has resulted in diminished ridership and so WMATA is facing financial difficulties. The system's biggest challenge will come in less than two weeks when Pope Francis visits Washington D. C. His visit will bring countless visitors to DC -- and they will want to get from one part of this city to another efficiently. Can Metro deliver?
Metro's problems moved me to stay home today. I had planned to see a couple of movies in Silver Spring and go to the Silver Spring Jazz Festival, but as I planned my travels on the Metro system, I learned the Greenbelt Station was closed and I just didn't have the oomph today to take a bus to Greenbelt Station, board a shuttle to the College Park Metro, ride the Green Line to Fort Totten, transfer to the Red Line, where trains were running on a 24 minute schedule, and then ride to Silver Spring and do the whole thing again in reverse.
So I stayed home. I spent much of the morning working with the black and white pictures I took at Greenbelt Park on Friday, posting some to my tumblr blog, here, and others to kellogg bloggin and all of them to my flickr account.
I'm glad I stayed home, as it turns out. The Deke was exhausted from our travels and the emotional demands of Ted's funeral in New Jersey and Ben and Tana's wedding in Chicago and then returning to work on Tuesday and I think it was good I stuck around.
2. Early in the evening, the Deke went over the Diaz house and I continued my home stay and watched the last episode of the first season of Foyle's War. Foyle's son, Andrew, an R. A. F. pilot, gets entangled in the corruption of an R. A. F. base near Hastings, is imprisoned on false charges, and his bewildering situation connects with a curator's robbery of an art piece and with two recent front door stabbings and murders. Christopher Foyle eventually sees through it all and exposes terrible crime and cover up at the R. A. F. It is a complicated and deftly constructed story -- and, in the end, emotionally moving.
3. For the last several days, the Buggles' song "Video Killed the Radio Star" has been playing over and over in my head. I've enjoyed it. It's made me go back and remember times I enjoyed back in the 70s, times before, and during, the song's release. I went on You Tube tonight and and watched and listened to couple of versions of the song. Over and over two lines from the song have been spurring my thoughts about how much I was in love with falling in love and how I'd get scared and try to deny my experience and while I could deceive myself with my intellect, I could never fool my feelings. The Buggles put it this way: "In my mind and in my car/We can't rewind we've gone too far." Yeah. I got scared. Several times. I tried to rewind. Couldn't. We'd gone too far. Or, at least, I had. I spent the night with ghosts, both wrestling with and enjoying a past that always lives in my present.

Paralympic athlete Ryan Chalmers set out from Los Angeles and is pushing his racing chair more than 3,000 miles in 71 days across America. I caught up with him in Philadelphia to hear more about his inspiring "Push Across America."
Ryan lives life to the fullest. He was on day 68 of his journey when I caught up with him. Ryan's just days away from his final destination, New York City. He's raising awareness for people with disabilities and the non-profit Stay Focused. The organization helps disabled teens through SCUBA certification and leadership programs.
Ryan was born with the birth defect Spina Bifida and has been in a wheelchair his entire life. But that didn't stop the 24-year-old from becoming a world class athlete. Last summer, he represented the United Stated in the 2012 London paralympic games.
But this push is his greatest challenge yet. Along the way he's met people with disabilities and his message is simple: don't let anything stop you from achieving greatness.
Follow Ryan's journey @PushUSA and check back weekly for more updates!

Wednesday, 5 November 2014 • ASDA, Autumn, boots, check, clothes, clothing, fashion, newlook, Primark, print, Select, skirt, tartan
Over a couple of recent trips in my local town centre, I managed to pick up not a lot but a few awesome clothing pieces which I have been adoring over the past couple of weeks. It's not much but I love every item I bought so I wanted to share my recent purchases that have been perfect for the Autumn season.
Burgundy Tartan Knitted Skirt
I tried to find the link to this on there website but they didn't have it anymore, although they might have it in store! I bought this skirt from George in Asda when I was shopping for some home ware bits. I saw this in the distance in the clothes department and I went straight to it, found my size and bought it. I've been wanting a knitted skirt for a while now as I think they're the perfect skirts for the colder weather and they look gorgeous paired with some black tights. I believe this was £12.
Berry Stitch Jumper
This is such a perfect autumn jumper. I bought this from a shop called Select and it was only £9.99. It's a cropped jumper which I didn't realise until after I bought it, but that doesn't bother me as it looks amazing with a cute black skater skirt and some boots. It's so soft and snuggly and I love it.
Oversized Tartan Shirt
For some reason, this isn't showing up on the website either but I know that they defiantly should have it in store because I only bought this about two weeks ago. This tartan shirt is from New Look for only £19.99, whenever Autumn comes along I have a thing with buying tartan clothing. I just love tartan print and I like it suits the season perfectly. I bought this shirt in a bigger size as I wanted it to be quite baggy on me, I like to pair this with a black cami top underneath and some pair of black skinny jeans.
Primark Chelsea Boots
I have been wearing these boots to death ever since I bought them. I saw that they now do another version of these but with a bigger chunkier heel which would look perfect for a night out. Considering these boots were only £12, they are so bloody comfortable to walk in. I could wear these throughout the day without my feet hurting. I just think they're such a good Autumn staple to have in your wardrobe and you could literally pair these up with any outfit.

March 29, 2007
The most annoying people on TV
This cook (please don't make the mistake of calling her a chef!) is extremely annoying in her new show. Why do we have to listen to her give us advice on hair, makeup, fashion? I mean c'mon, she can hardly cook if it weren't for readily available mixes and ingredients from the supermarket! Now we have to take advice from her regarding the right shoes to wear or how to fix up our homes?!
And notice how loud she's become? She's like all over the place yelling EVOO, Yum-mo and all imaginable stupidities. She reminds me of Love Anover who was so fabulous when she was on Probe. Then she joined GMA's morning show and she just became deafening! Just because you're short you don't need to shout to get attention. I don't know what Oprah was thinking when she decided to produce Rachel's show. Just because she can't cook doesn't mean she has to go on and produce a cooking show and model Rachel after her, talking about life's problems and fashion issues. The woman is hardly qualified to talk about these topics. She should have stuck with her 30-minute meals show. Geez I'll pick Martha anytime over Rachel Ray's show.
2. Kris Aquino
Just because she gets a kick out of displaying and talking about her entire life in public doesn't mean she has to force her contestants to do the same. What's with those personal questions Kris? You're audience isn't even interested in what your contestants are saying, just what they do to win the grand prizes. And what's with the long gowns? Parang pupunta ka sa graduation ball palagi? Feeling mo si Vanna White ka? I'm so glad Edu Manzano has taken over Kris's show. We hope it becomes permanent. Now that's a good game show host for you. Hey why isn't any network giving Edu his own talk show? He deserves one.
3. Senjaya Malakar
What's with this American Idol wanna-be? The past two installments of the Idols' performances showed that he can let his hair down (or up as in last night's ponytail mohawk) but where's the vocal prowess? He was good in the auditions and vocally stronger than his sister, but ultimately, its experience that counts and he lacks enough to give depth and emotion to his performances. I think his sister would have been the better performer in the end. What's more, this idiot makes lame retorts to Simon's critiques and fails miserably. Now I hear there's a YouTube member, "J", who has vowed to go on a hunger strike until Senjaya gets voted off the show. I might just join her.
(UPDATE: Curly-haired and chubby Chris Sligh has just been voted off. Too bad, because he is actually a good singer but last night's performance was just his weakest. Read it on GMA News TV.)
4. Angel Jacob and the US girls hosts
I used to like Good Finds until Angel Jacob took over. Her voice is pitchy and irritating, and she talks like she's reading off a script all the time. I can't stand five minutes of her show which has just become a jumble of boring features and subjects. Bring back the witty Jenni Epperson.
I don't know the names of these US Girls hosts except for Angel Aquino. She's the only one who is smart and articulate among the three. The names of the other two hosts are not even worthwhile to remember. The show, which was meant to replace the well-polished and sophisticated "F", is now just another pa-cute show where the hosts try to get away by looking great instead of sounding intelligent. Angel, umalis ka na 'jan at baka mahawa ka pa sa dalawang 'yan!
Is it true Amanda Griffin is getting her own show on the Lifestyle Network?! Oh no, this is when "F" started sounding inane. Amanda's forgettable food reviews: "It's good, it's really good!" Girl, you better bring your thesaurus to those shoots! (What's a thesaurus daw? OMG!)
5. Willie Revillame and the Eat Bulaga hosts
Do these hosts really think they're funny? Eat Bulaga has long outlived its entertainment factor it should be shut down. Individually Joey de Leon and Vic Sotto may be wits, but together, along with their hapless supporting cast of thousands, they are just lame and depressing. Mag-isip naman kayo ng bagong show noh? Di na kayo nakakatawa! In hindsight I actually liked Joey de Leon a few times when he co-hosted a public affairs show. And what the heck is Tito Sotto thinking still hanging around that show? Wala bang natutuwa sa 'yo sa Senado? Maybe it's time to move on guys and reinvent yourselves. You're too old to be acting silly like you do on your show every day. Iskul Bukol days are so over!
And Willie Revillame? Gads, what a bore. He thinks he's so frikking handsome and witty I'd like to throw the dining table at the TV set everytime I see his face. I don't know why ABS-CBN is still keeping this guy despite his faux pas. His personal life is disgusting. But more importantly, he's not funny! Doesn't anybody over there get it?
All these hosts are so like Jay Leno who now has to resort to toilet humor and sex jokes just to get a rise from his audience.

i wholly agree with "wowowillie" being on that list.
enough of his whining cries and cristy-fermin-like blathering on tv. enough please. like he means it.
hey stella!
how true, how true! we share the same pet-peeves! i hate the local shows because they're boring and insulting to the intelligence of the viewers. ang tingin yata nila, parang tanga lang lahat ang mga nanonood eh. and why do local newscasters have to use that tone - sobrang lakas at parang nasusunog na ang buong bayan?
hay..when can we have some sensible shows ba? pag hindi yun nang-iinsulto ng mga contestants para matawa ang viewers, ang mga viewers naman ang naiinsulto sa kababawan ng labas! talo, kahit saan tignan!
You are only jealous to kris Aquino,because she got it all,brains,beauty and a lot of bread!We misses KRIS.
- Stella Arnaldo said...
Now YOU'RE annoying, anonymous! Hala, ayaw ni Kris ng bad grammar, noh?!
People listen to them because they have successfully created their own brand and whether you like it or not, people go for brands they like.

Why Are Chickens The Perfect Pet For Children (and Adults) ?
The perfect pet for children, and for adults, is to keep chickens. Keeping chickens has a number of benefits including the provision of wonderful free range eggs for the fridge and the capacity of chickens to eat all those rotten bugs that are eating your flowers.
Many people assume that keeping chickens is just something that you can do if you live in the country. However nothing could be further from the truth and there are plenty of people living in the middle of suburbia who have the delight of keeping pet chickens, and eating fresh free range eggs.
Of course you need to check out the rules and regulations from your local council to see what you are and are not allowed to do when it comes to keeping chickens. For instance many councils don't allow the keeping of roosters in built-up areas because of the early morning noise, and also have in some instances regulations about how many hens you can have and about the building and positioning of chicken houses.
Once you've researched the regulations and found out what you can and cannot do then there is no reason why the average suburban dweller cannot keep backyard chickens.
I am often asked how many chickens to have and what breed of chickens to buy.
There is a rough rule of thumb that a chicken will lay around 300 eggs in a year, laying more per week in summer than winter.
And so from this you can make a calculation to determine how many hens will supply sufficient eggs to keep your family in omelettes.
But it's extremely rare that you should have eggs going to waste. If you do simply ask the neighbours, they will fall all over themselves to buy your free range eggs.
On that basis, for the average family, 3 or 4 hens is usually sufficient, though more is more fun.
And then there is the question of what breed to buy and this depends on why you are keeping chickens. Are you keeping chickens for their looks or their eggs or their companionship?
Our children love fancy looking chickens and so we are the proud owners of some pure white silky bantams. Whilst they look wonderful and are fun to have around they lay small eggs, and not as many as some other breeds, and so are really only there for looks.
But they do look great.
If you want chickens for their egg laying capacity then select Isa Browns, which we have. They don't sit on eggs very well which means they won't hatch chicks for you, but this means they lay plenty of eggs.
If you have chicks it's just wonderful and the kids love it. But the downside is that you will have to find something to do with those roosters, and unless you want to find that your small brood of 3 or 4 hens grows to 10 or 15 you will also have to find something to do with the hens.
However these are small problems when compared to the delights of keeping chickens as pets, and also of having those wonderful, tasty and fresh free range eggs to eat every day.
Peter has a website about chickens and chicken houses at http://www.chickenhouses.net.au

All Good Intentions
One of my female writer friends insists she doesn't clean the house while she writes her great Canadian novel. I don't know how she does it. There is no way (unless I borrowed a pair of blinkers from a horse) that I could write in a filthy house. Don't get me wrong, the house doesn't need to be spotless--just tidy and relatively clean. Then I can sit down and write.
Juggling chores and leaving enough time for writing is another issue. I usually tell myself that I'll get this and that done before sitting at my computer. Sometimes this and that take longer than I thought they would and the writing gets put aside for another day.
I intend to write today after I do some Christmas shopping, exchange a camisole at Reitman's and get my hair cut. How do I know I'll get to my writing today? I have a couple of little incentives planned. Sometime this afternoon I'll sit down at my computer to write the next chapter with a glass of wine and a piece of chocolate.
The scene is already playing through my mind and I'm looking forward to putting it down on paper, or should I say on the screen?
Do any of you have any proven techniques of accomplishing your writing goals? I'd love to hear about them.
1 comment:
Oh boy do I know what you mean Cynthia. This very topic has been weighing on my mind recently as well - how to make the time to write?ReplyDelete
Juggling work and kids and household chores takes up so much of my energy that, by the time that's all done, I only have enough energy left to sit on the couch and watch TV while my poor laptop sits sad and alone.
I try to remind myself though that, no matter how valid my excuses are, they won't get the novel written. It's not as though there is some writing fairy who listens to my well thought out reasons for not getting any words down today and says, "Yes, you're right, there is no way you could have gotten to the book today. I hereby grant you 1500 words - poof!"
So, until the writing fairy does show up at my desk, it's up to me to find the time.
I work out at a local fitness club and when I'm in my cycling class and we've been riding hard for half an hour and we're all whining that we can't possibly keep going, our instructor always yells the same thing at us, "Find It!" she says, and I think it's the same thing for writing.

For some people, varicose veins are just the unsightly blue lines that run up and down the legs. While not doing any damage to their health, the mere presence of them is bothersome. For others, though, the veins can be so painful that they lead to difficulty walking, sleeping, or exercising.

Actually, my understanding from others who have dealt with this is that Wal-Mart takes this issue very seriously, and any manager who is loosing them business may end up looking for a job.
Walmart's official policy is to mirror state law.
Thread: My Walmart encounter
Well It had to happen to me sooner or later. I do my best to Avoid Walmart at all costs and normally spend my money else where, but sometimes when you need certain items they are the place to go to.So without further ado, here is my documented incident at WalmartAt approximately 10:20pm, Sat July 5th 2008, I entered the Walmart located on Glenwood an State St openly carrying my Kimber .45 in my hip holster. I grabbed a nearby cart and continued walking in, moments later an older gentleman (The store greeter) approached me from behind and positioned himself to my side, saying Sir, you can't carry a firearm in here, I asked why not? the greeter responded by stating "because it's store policy we don't allow firearms in the store". I asked if this policy was publicly posted, he paused and had no answer, he then asked if I was a LE officer, in which I said No. he then repeated that Walmart does not allow Firearms in the store. I told the old gent to have a nice night and turned around and exited the store, I walked back to my truck to secure my firearm, pulled my shirt over my now empty holster and walked back towards the store.
I was never asked to leave, Just told they do not allow civilians to legally carry a firearm in the store.
Upon walking into the store again, this time unarmed, The same old gent (greeter) seen me, this time he was mad dogging me and wasn't look at me, but was staring directly at the lump where my empty holster was located, The greeter said nothing as I walked by him, I then made my way to the Cleaning section where I needed some cleaning agents.
At this point I was half way down the isle of the cleaning section, when an older short grey hair lady hollered at me from the end of the isle saying "We Don't allow firearms in the Store" I turned, looked at the lady, lifted up the right side of my shirt exposing my now empty holster, and hollered back "Does this look like a firearm to you?" she noticed my holster was empty and walked away.
It's obvious the old greeter thought I re-entered the store concealing my firearm because of the bulge created by my empty holster under my shirt, and alerted other staff to deal with the "situation".
After selecting the items I needed, I exited the isle and observed the same lady who just hollered at me talking to 3 other people, I approached the older lady to ask why the store policy on firearms is not publicly posted, as I was approaching the lady and 3 others, I could hear one of the others saying "These people scare our customers, that's why we don't allow it", she paused for a moment glancing at the others, and then said "These people are strange and weird" While I didn't hear her directly reference me, it was obvious she was referring to me, and those of us who exercise our 2nd amendment rights.
When I approached their location, I politely asked the older lady who had just hollered at me moments earlier why they don't publicly post their firearms policy, the older lady side stepped and pointed to the other lady who was addressing the others with the above statements and introduced her as "Cheryl" the store manager. I asked Cheryl why they don't allow firearms? she responded and stated that Walmart is private property, and that it's their store policy. I asked why this policy is not publicly posted? she just looked at me and didn't provide an answer, she then offered to provide me the contact information of their legal team to address this policy, I politely responded with a "No thanks", and said I would be contacting Corporate about this incident and walked away.
After paying for my items and walking down the hall of shame, I noticed the old greeter sitting down, as I got closer to the exit, he noticed me, stood up, took a couple steps forward while staring intently at me, at this point I was expecting him to ask me to see my reciept, in fact I was hoping he would, so I could tell him to politely piss off, as this is now my Property, but the greeter never asked me I was disappointed.
Once I got to my truck, I re-holstered my weapon and drove down the street to Los Betos mexican resturant on State St and had a kick ass super nacho meal, while OC'ing there without incident, the place was actually packed with about 30-35 people. young and old were all having a good time laughing and eating.
the Cashier/Order taker knows me as a regular customer, and is always admiring my firearms, and has told me he doesn't mind it at all. I have often educated the workers and the manager about thier gun rights, the manager at this location approves of me OC'ing my firearm, as they were once robbed at Gunpoint about a year ago, and feels safer when his customers are armed.
While on the subject of Los Betos, I spotted a young man OC'ing a revolver at Los Betos a couple weeks ago, after finishing my meal. I approached the young man and asked if he was a member on here, it turned out to be BlackFox who is a regular member here.
in short, gonna generate a nice letter and shoot it off to Corporate tomorrow. I doubt it will change anything, but you can bet I won't be spending a single penny there from now on.
Actually, my understanding from others who have dealt with this is that Wal-Mart takes this issue very seriously, and any manager who is loosing them business may end up looking for a job.
Walmart's official policy is to mirror state law.
Hello, This is my first post as I just started reading this web site a week ago and just logged in. I just retired from the USAF after 22 years and settled down in Mountain Home Idaho. I have carried a conceled weapon for over 3 years and just decieded to open carry do to a article I read in the Idaho paper about 3 weeks ago; plus the hot weather makes it easier and more comfortable in the summer to open carry. I work at the base with security and carry a weapon at work all day and feel comfortable with open carry when not at work. I talked to the local PD and Sherif department before I opened carried and they warned me about wallmart as their officers get challaged when they enter. Due to Wall-mart being the only store in Mountain Home it is going to be hard for me to avoid them but I will go out of my way to avoid them and even pay more for something at another store here in town. I wish there was something that could be done about wallmart and there phobia....Hey maybe we can let all the peopel being released from prison and jail know that nobody has a wespon at wallmart they would be a easy score...lol But seriously if I seen a wallmart employee being attacked all I could say is enjoy the beating I'm not armed.
you should of asked them if the (no guns allowed) policy was made by
(the walmart board of directors) AKA RED CHINA
as far as walmart goes.. id rather spend more and go to a ma and pa shop.
i OC at los betos in nampa all the time... no issues...
I oc'ed at lake lowell yesterday, lots of stares
my stepdads desert eagle 50ae on his hip made my glock look like a toy.
This sounds strikingly similar to an encounter I had early on the morning of the fourth at this same walmart. I'll bet it was even the same manager team that confronted me. Had to run in to Work at HP for a bit before going back home to get ready for the day's events. Walked right in with my XD 45 in a Blackhawk Serpa, no words spoken to me at all. Almost get done with my shopping and two managers come up from behind to tell me about policy, how to contact the legal team, and to please remove the weapon from the property. Suffice it to say, they didn't get my money.

Wonder the same about OC of a fullsize 500 Mag
Seems this Walmart has been giving people problems up and down...
I say we get at least 20 people together who have shopping to do, and all meet there at the same time. They may be stupid, but they aren't stupid enough to turn down 20 paying customers...
I have been to the Boise Walmart more than five times now, no problems or questions asked.
... nothing nice to say about walmart...
Somebody with money needs to sue WalMart out of America. Do the McCarthy on them. Means that its a fact they support communism.
I also have not had an issue with this Walmart....could happen any time though.

This is the same Walmart I shop at and I always carry concealed there, I haven't jumped into the open carry world yet except on rare occasions. There is no posting on any doors about no weapons that I have seen (course I don't really look for them either). That said in some cases stores have a no-weapons policy for employees but employees think that (and many other employee policies) applies to customers as well.
In this particular case though the store employee had absolutely NO BUSINESS yelling to you from the other end of an isle that guns aren't allowed in the store. That would scare customers more then you open carrying. Customers don't notice guns on holsters but they would notice some lady yelling about it.
Here is one I found online at another wallmart.
Wal-Mart Gun Policy Saves New Mexico Woman's Life
class=contentPosted on Friday, August 26 @ 12:27:11 EDT by jeff
Ohioans have learned that Wal-Mart stores have consistently removed any "No Guns" signs posted by local management. Ohioans For Concealed Carry has learned that the majority of these signs are the result of local management being duped by "compliance kits" mailed out with the impression that the signs are required by law.
Wal-Mart corporate operations have repeatedly required every single sign to be taken down promptly when representatives or members of Ohioans For Concealed Carry have reported a rogue posting.
Wal-Mart's policy is made clear by this consistent behavior: Holstered firearms in possession of the law-abiding citizen are not prohibited in their stores.
A New Mexico woman is alive today thanks to the fact this policy is enforced nationwide with Wal-Mart.
New Mexico Wal-Mart shoppers who witnessed a woman being stabbed yesterday now understand why law-abiding gun owners desire a means to protect themselves, and in rare cases, others whose lives are in immediate danger with the imminent risk of death.
Friends of a woman whose name has not been released told Albuquerque (New Mexico) television stations that the injured woman recently obtained a useless restraining order against her ex-husband. While the restraining order tells us quite a bit about the situation, yet again it has proven to be a nearly useless tool for self-defense or prevention of violence.
Despite a court order to stay away from his ex-wife, a man entered a Wal-Mart store and attempted to kill her.
According to Tuscaloosa News, a man whose name has also not been released was in the New Mexico Wal-Mart when he came upon a domestic dispute where a man was repeatedly stabbing a woman.
The unknown man intervened, opening fire on the attacker, saving the life of the badly injured ex-wife.
The knife-wielding attacker died from his injuries.
From tuscaloosanews.com:
- Police spokeswoman Trish Hoffman said a witness told authorities that a man had been stabbing the woman inside the store when another man intervened and shot her attacker.
Hoffman said the stabbing appeared to stem from a domestic dispute. She did not know the relationship between the woman and the dead man, but friends of the woman told Albuquerque television stations that she had recently obtained a restraining order against her ex-husband.
"It looks like it's a possibility that the guy who shot the other man will be justified," Hoffman said. "From what witnesses are telling us, it corroborates his story that the male was stabbing the female and he intervened."
Had this poor woman been in a retail store that prohibited firearms for self protection, chances are the man who saved her life would have been turned away at the door, shopped elsewhere, or left his firearm elsewhere.
This woman is alive today because Wal-Mart has taken the high road and made the right decision that has resulted in one innocent woman's life being saved. We all owe a debt of gratitude both to Wal-Mart for bucking the politically correct "easy" decision, and the unknown individual whose life will never be the same after being forced to defend someone he didn't know.
When most stores and managers are approached to remove their signs the first question they ask is "Why do you think you'd need a gun in here?" -- due to yesterday's unfortunate events we can point to a reason that nobody can deny.
The New Mexico Wal-Mart situation could happen anywhere, at any time, and to anyone of us, armed or not.
They just keep comming......
A funny thing happened on the way out of the Wal-mart...
Gun owner receives apology from police chief
Chief's letter, more training follow officer's confusion, threat of arrest
By Matt Lakin (Contact)
Saturday, September 22, 2007
Michael Patrick
Trevor Putnam, who was stopped while he legally carried his gun inside a Wal-Mart by an officer who was mistaken about the state's gun permit laws, received an apology from Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV.
Trevor Putnam knew the gun laws. The officer who stopped him didn't.
"When I told him that I hadn't done anything, he said he'd find a reason to put me in jail," said Putnam, 24, who works with guns every day as vice president of Coal Creek Armory in West Knoxville.
"It's not that I have a problem with police officers. I deal with police officers nationwide from Arizona to Maine every day. But I lost my confidence in a legal right that I knew I had."
Knoxville police officers will get a refresher course on the state's gun permit laws after an officer who didn't know the law stopped, frisked and threatened to arrest Putnam for legally carrying a gun inside a Wal-Mart this summer.
Officer Glenn Todd Greene's actions June 21 at the store on Walbrook Drive in West Knoxville earned him a written reprimand and remedial training for rudeness and not knowing the law, Internal Affairs records show. He's worked for the Knoxville Police Department for about seven years.
Putnam got a written apology from Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV.
"The officer was wrong I want to personally apologize to you for any embarrassment or inconvenience you may have suffered as a result of this incident," the chief wrote.
"The Knoxville Police Department takes pride in the training offered to its officers, and the training provided far exceeds state requirements. Unfortunately, officers aren't perfect, and sometimes mistakes are made. As you can see from the remedial measures taken, we want to learn from our mistakes so they won't be repeated in the future."
The trouble started when Putnam and his girlfriend, Samantha Williams, stopped at the store to buy groceries around 10 p.m. Putnam, who holds a gun permit, carried his Colt handgun inside with him, holstered on his right hip.
"It's like a seat belt or a fire extinguisher," he said. "It goes everywhere with me. It was warm that night, so I left my jacket in the car."
State law allows gun permit holders to carry their guns openly or concealed. Putnam said he usually tucks his shirt over the gun but forgot to that night.
As they walked out, Greene, who'd gone to the store to investigate a shoplifting call, told Putnam to stop. Greene asked for Putnam's identification, grabbed his arm when he reached for his wallet and then asked why he carried a gun in public, records show.
Putnam ended up against a concrete wall being frisked as Greene took his gun.
"It's called a concealed carry permit. State law says you carry it concealed, not in plain view (with the) hammer back," Greene said. "I've been doing this for 12 years. I can put you in jail for something. It's called inducing a panic."
Greene ultimately let Putnam go after talking with another officer but told him to pull his shirt over the gun. He told Internal Affairs investigators he thought Tennessee and Ohio, where he previously served as a police officer, prohibited open carrying. Neither state does.
"There's an issue there where there could be panic," he said in a recorded statement. "I'm thinking the law is a concealed law. I'm not going to deal with a guy that has a loaded gun until I secure a weapon."
Greene said he asked other officers about the law and that they didn't know, either.
Investigators reviewed video from Greene's in-car camera and found him in violation of KPD policy. They sustained part of Putnam's complaint but ruled Greene hadn't used excessive force in putting him against the wall.
Putnam questions that decision.
"On the one hand, I'm glad they didn't ignore it," he said. "On the other, I don't feel it was a wholly appropriate response to everything the officer threatened to do."
The department trains all recruits on the state's gun permit laws, said KPD Lt. Jeff Stiles, who oversees training for the department. All officers will get another dose of training during the next annual session, he said.
"We don't get that many questions about it over here," Stiles said. "But we cover that aspect. We go straight to the experts to teach the law. We don't guess, and we don't speculate."

Absolutely agree with the last four posts...
I think we can get something together to raise awareness, there just has to be enough advance notice for people to check back here and RSVP.
Sent off a nice email today, only problem was walmarts website only allows for 2999 characters. my email was 5200 charaters long, so had to butcher it down a bit.
Reminded me of the office joke some of you may have seen, where the complaint form is the size of a postage stamp
Sorry to segway from the topic here, but I've heard previously that the Boise Costco is supposed to be absolutely against OC, and have asked several people to leave.
Today I walk in and see their "Mission Statement" and right at the top "1. Obey the law."
I stood there for a second and said "Pssssh...what a load of crap."

Leave it to Wal-Mart to be that way, On Costco I've yet to see any "No Weapons" Signs of any type there myself, not saying they don't have them, I just have never seen them anywhere inside or outside the store.
(If anyone has seen signs there, please let me know where they are)
i as well have had an incident in the glenwood walmart as well, though i myself was not the one affected by it.
i accompanied my friends who needed to cash a payroll check at the customer service station on wednesday July 2nd. only I was carrying, a 2" SP101 revolver on my hip, but my friends are supportive of my habit. I stood with them in line for a moment, but excused myself to grab a water and get some cashback. as i was finishing, my friends came up to me, seemingly upset.
they had informed me that just after i left their line, a customer had began expressing her discomfort to the rest of the line, and some employees (they did not get their names) began calling on their walkies to locate me. when my friends reached the counter, they were denied service as i was once in their party. they immediatly informed the emplyee that to the best of their knowledge, i was fully within legal permittance to carry, and that it is my own decision to carry. they felt it was unjust to deny them service for my independant actions. they informed the employee that they would be going elsewhere.
after hearing this i was very dissatisfied, and had i not needed to get going, would have returned the water and taken the time to speak with management.
since then even my friends are very hesitant to enter walmart, aside from only a need-to basis, for loading their moneycard.
*good seeing you too 563, los betos is a great place, both OC friendly and tasty
Wait a sec. Your friend who was not armed was denied service, at the register on the way out, because you were armed?they were denied service as i was once in their party
Someone needs to get corporate Walmart involved this is just getting stupid.
do you remember a few years back when some jack azz went into costco and
attempted to rob it... the perp had a CCW....ruined it for the rest of us.

Short Ribs with Red Wine and Port - French Fridays with Dorie
If I'd eaten this version at a restaurant, I'd be raving about it. Since I made it myself, modesty forbids raves. But it was quite good.
I liked the idea of broiling the short ribs instead of browning them in the pot. I could do them all at once, with no worries about crowding them so they'd steam rather than brown. I also think they yielded more fat this way (although there was plenty of fat still in them).
About twelve minutes total in the broiler, and they were brown and crispy on both sides.
Lots of vegetables to be cooked, but it looks like it's mostly onions. I was sure I had jar of star anise in my pantry, but apparently not. I substituted a pinch of five-spice powder, which I thought was rather clever of me (star anise is its first ingredient). I knew I had some ginger in my vegetable drawer, but when I looked at it closely, it was too tired and sad to use, so I substituted a pinch of powdered ginger. That was not particularly clever, but it worked to give a hint of ginger flavor. I didn't bother with the cheesecloth for the bouquet garni; I figured that since the broth was going to be strained, it was an unnecessary step. (I was also out of cheesecloth. I think it was hiding out with the star anise).
I love tomato paste in a tube. I used to buy a six-ounce can of tomato paste, use a tablespoon or two, put the rest in the refrigerator, and throw it out after a few weeks. This tube lasts indefinitely and is great for all those recipes that call for just a tablespoon.
I also love recipes that let you pour in whole bottles of wine, although I didn't use the whole bottle because it looked like my pan would overflow if I did. I didn't measure the ruby port, either--just poured in what seemed like enough glugs. This casual attitude about measuring is what caused me to shy away from baking for many years.
Here's the pot of vegetables and cooking liquids just before the meat went back in the pot. This is definitely not a weekday dinner (unless you want to eat at midnight), but it's not difficult, and there are about three hours of cooking time that are largely unattended.
When the short ribs are falling off the bone, you have two options: refrigerate and eat the next day or eat right away. I didn't want to wait another day to eat this great-smelling dish, so I just skimmed a little fat off the top, and we ate hearty.
The next day, when we ate leftovers, however, I saw the advantage of waiting. There was A LOT of hardened fat on the top of the plastic container. A really frightening amount, actually. In its congealed form, it was easy to remove, and the reheated ribs didn't suffer from a lack of flavor without it. In fact, flavor is what this dish is all about. The short ribs are succulent and beefy; the ginger and star anise, along with the port, give a hint of sweetness; and the orange/garlic/parsley gremolata (my husband hates cilantro) adds zest (no pun intended).
With mashed potatoes and plain steamed carrots, this was a wonderful winter meal. Another A+ for Dorie.

Your ribs look delicious! I wish I had thought to not to fool with the cheesecloth for the bouquet garni.ReplyDelete
I love tomato paste in a tube too. So much flavor and easy to use!
I didn't use cheesecloth either for the same reason as you.ReplyDelete
Love the step by step photos Marie (I'm too lazy to take them).
And you reminded me, I need to go get some tomato paste in a tube.
Gosh, beautiful photos of a hard to photograph dish!! Glad you enjoyed...a we did, too!ReplyDelete
How funny - I thought the same thing about the amount of fat and was so glad that I waited to skim it off the next day! Your ribs look great. That last photo is just beautiful!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the step by step photographs.ReplyDelete
They look so good. I if you have coffee filters, use that instead of the cheesecloth the next time!ReplyDelete
Between you and Jenn post, I now know that I have to somehow find the time to make this soon.. as in maybe this weekend or beginning of the week... but SOON!
I also love tomato paste in a tube! What a great invention! Your plate looks delicious!ReplyDelete
this looks so good--great post marie! my broiler is broken so didn't make this, but now that i've seen your ribs i'd better find a working broiler quick!ReplyDelete
Isn't it funny how things just poof into thin air in the kitchen! Agreed about the tomato paste in a tube & I wish I had been clever enough to lose the cheesecloth...ReplyDelete
You are right! Who needed that cheesecloth? Great post!ReplyDelete
The first thought that crossed my mind as I read your post was that I thought while eating this that it would be around $19 a plate at a restaurant. The second was "I need to find tomato paste in a tube". I actually looked for it today. Your photos are gorgeous! Glad you liked this!ReplyDelete
Push your modesty aside. I think it's fine to boast about an excellent meal. Your photos make this ugly (though tasty) dish look appealing.ReplyDelete
This is serendipity at its best! I have a ton of short ribs in the deepfreeze (we buy a half a steer every fall) and was planning on making this kind of recipe in a week or so and have been researching it- ran into this from your baking blog!ReplyDelete
Looks outstanding, but have 2 questions: The first, does the ruby port impart heavy sweetness once the sauce is reduced? The second, do you have your recipe available I could look at?
Thanks and great food!
The French Fridays with Dorie members don't include the recipes since we're doing the entire cookbook. However, I googled the name of the dish, and found this link, which does include the recipe:
Agreed on all levels. Nana and I loved this recipe and while the overall time was not prime for a weeknight, it was indeed a perfect winter's meal. Your full plate looks gorgeous. Thanks for the info about the tomato paste in the tube- I knew about it but never tried it, even though I end up with unfinished cans in the fridge. Great tip and great post.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 26, 2011 at 12:44 AM
Great photos!ReplyDelete
I always end up freezing leftover tomato paste, which is kind of a waste of a freezer bag. I keep meaning to track down the tube version. It sounds more economical and less wasteful.
I was very happy that I chilled it overnight - the amount of fat really is shocking.
- AnonymousFebruary 26, 2011 at 3:37 AM
You're photos are so full of colour! Looks so good! I've read a couple of posts about price of ribs in US and I'm realising they are still pretty cheap here in Sydney!ReplyDelete
Beee-utiful! Your photos are amazing. So amazing in fact that they made my mouth water.ReplyDelete
Your completed dish is the best I've seen. Nice work!!!
Very nice..I love the picture of you dumping the wine in the pot!! Im glad they were a hit for you!ReplyDelete
Thanks Marie! I appreciate your info, and yes later last night learned about the French Friday's cooking program~ no worries. Have a bunch of recipes for short ribs like this some call for port some don't. I'm still debating which kind to make, leaning towrds the recipe without port. Both sound great though, and congratulations on your success in making them.ReplyDelete
