I’ve been dehydrating apples, and will be cutting a pineapple up tonight to dehydrate. I’ll have to try making jerky, too.
And I’ve got bread in the bread maker that’ll be starting here soon. Cracked pepper Parmesan.

I’d use less flour and more pepper. Texture is a bit off.

Try this one too, and just add the pepper and the Parm and add a bit more water.
This makes an incredible pizza dough, too.

30+ years ago, I took a bead store loaf of this to a friend’s house.
He, his wife, and I ate half the loaf that night. One of us would go up, cut 3 slices off, slap some butter on it, bring it down, and pass it around. About 10 minutes later someone else would do the same thing.
It’s CNN, so take it with a flask of whatever.

Bean sprouts aborted at 5am.
Was going to have a very nice bean sprout and chicken stir fry for breakfast ( A traditional British meal ) But alas not happening.
Mung beans, the traditional thing that are sprouted, did OK and I put them in a large bowl so I could lightly coat them in Coconut oil before frying. Then I added the Pinto beans which sprouted very well BUT!
They felt slightly slimly to the touch so did not want. Too late, they were on the top of the mung bean sprouts so in the trash it all went.
To do the sprouting you rinse them every 12 hrs. Next time I will alternate rinses with Hydrogen Peroxide.
It won’t affect the beans but will scare the shit out of any bacteria or fungus that dares to make my bean sprouts slime.
Or will it? I may ask AI.

Well as I predicted months ago these Trump tariffs are a load of absolute bollocks and not researched at all.
I am OK with the USA imposing a tariff/import duty on items that are produced overseas using child labour or pollute the environment globally to ensure there is a “level playing field ” for USA industry to compete in USA markets.
An example is designer shoes, can openers, there is a long list of products that are made in the USA but cheap foreign imports kill the made in USA business.
However, FINALLY someone has realised that we import things that are not and cannot be made in the USA.
The tax on bananas, tropical fruits and coffee imports has been cancelled!
YEAH! fuck the USA coffee bean growers, the vast banana plantation owners and the tropical fruit farms.
There ain’t none. Never will be. Tariff on those things was just a tax on us consumers.
A random post for old people.
I think Bunk mentioned kegel exercise in the last thread, or the one before or just in my dreams.
Anyway the kegel exercise is something old people have to do to stop their intestines falling out of their lower openings.
I think it involves clenching buttocks and sphincters. And a paid subscription to sites that educate you.
A tip, if you are American then watch UK police chase videos. The streets are very narrow and the crazy bastards drive on the wrong side of the road!
Pure undiluted asshole clenching action!
Plus, when you watch them the commentary from the chasers is outstanding.

A food post and an intestinal cleanse post. Nothing much else to report except who is MTG and why is X going nuts.
Yesterday supper was a couple of slices of very juicy roasted pork loin and some canned green beans with a splash of Alfredo sauce.
The green beans were delicious so I ate the rest of the can.
AI says canned green beans are a mild laxative when eaten in moderation. There are 3.5 servings per can.
I eated the whole can. Yep, you guessed….

Anyone else noticed black Friday has been doing black Friday deals for about two weeks now?
Only thing I want is a new small slow cooker if they go on sale next week at Walmart. My current 6 year old one is loosing its glaze on the inside making it difficult to clean.
They are usually $5.99 but with inflation and tariffs who knows.

The first ‘Ashes Test match ends in a $3 million hole the match exchequer.
The first in a series of Test Matches for the covered Ashes, between the English and the Aussie’s in Perth ended up 3 days EARLY . By close of play on day #2 the POMS has been scuttled in BOTH Innings and the Aussies were hitting everything into the stands at will … TWICE as well. The first of 5 tests , the first was in Perth, was all done and dusted by close of play at the end of day #2.
The poor olde POMS were missing in action and playing like drunken sailors on a bender. Test Match cricket is a blood sport and an Ashes Test series for that tiny urn funk if burnt ashes of 100 year old bails all the more so when the Aussie bowlers were bowling with blood in their eye. Ween the Aussie batsmen got among the Poms in their first innings, the POM’s horror story was just beginning and it was only the end of day one.
Such was the carnage against the Brit’s bowling line up that the Aussies decided to ‘follow on’ and finish the Brit’s blood letting. By the end of DAY #2 it was all over with the Aussie batsmen hitting the ball off the stands’ roofs as if this was a T20 match. The test was over before it was properly started and Brits didn’t know what hit them!
The Brits have been told and told again and again to NEVER give the Aussie Test Match even a sniff of blood to they will tear your throats out. Especially so in a Test Match for the Ashes.
The Brit mandarines are crying in their gin and tonic’s as the first of five 5 day tests for the Ashes was all done and in the records by Day #2. Hopefully the English will get their batting shit together by the next test on the Eastern shores of Oz in a week’s time. The Brits are $3 million out of pocket by losing a scheduled first 5 day Test, in a series of five tests for the Ashes, in TWO Bloody Days! The Brits need to get their shit together before the Second Test!
This is the ASHES after all. Get your collective shit together the Marylebone Cricket Club (AKA the MCC)

I have not thawed a turkey.
40 minutes to go until my mandatory 45 minute telephone conversation with a financial advisor.
It has to happen every three months.
It is a UK thing. If some of the payments you are required to pay to the UK equivalent of Social Security are instead paid into a pension fund, like a 401 or roth thingy, then you have to say how it is managed.
I think it is a good thing that a person is not allowed to fuck with their money without advice. What I say goes, but is monitored.
Great for old people who sometimes forget where they put their keys.

Marney’s Thanksgiving Letter is a classic.

The letter went viral a few years back, and someone tracked her down for an interview.

Thanksgiving will be a sausage sandwich. Walmart fucked up my food delivery today.
I ordered sour cream, bacon, a loaf of fresh bread and a $2 can of Great Value Less Salt Luncheon Meat, High Protein, 12oz Aluminum Can. That shit is nice and makes great sandwiches!
Alas the luncheon meat did not arrive, instead I got six cans of Hunts tomato sauce. Bugger.
Let Walmart know, they refunded me $2 and told me to either use, donate or throw away extra items that were delivered.
I am a sensitive person and I feel sorry for whoever ordered six cans of tomato stuff the day before Thanksgiving. Obviously they had a plan.
But life is brutal! They got my can of cheap fake spam.
( yes I did call Walmart customer service to sort it out. Was on hold over 30 minutes and gave up. At least I tried. )

However, I have not had a real job since February 2019. So, as the president says I am not a productive member of the immigrant community.
No, I am not on welfare, get food stamps and not even triggered my entitlement to social security or Medicare/medicade.
But, on paper I am of no benefit to the USA.
Interesting fact.
In this apartment complex there are three laundry rooms. The washers are $2.25 and so are the dryers. However nobody uses them. They carry their stinky clothes about half a mile to a laundromat through a hole in the perimeter fence of the complex.
The same hole I crawl through to go by beer and smokes, but that is another story!
Anyway, why don’t they use the onsite laundry? You need a phone and an account and a credit card to turn the machines on. Everyone here has a phone. But using a “burner” phone you can refill it using cash to buy a prepaid card.
So, my theory is they don’t use the on site laundry because they do not have credit cards.
Here is a cash economy. You can even pay rent using cash.
And as usual at this time of year there is an abundance of furniture and beds and mattresses on the ground outside the dumpsters.
A lot of kids toys, it is tradition here that if something may be of use to someone else it is placed outside the dumpster.
Currently there is a decent 2 seat leather couch out there.
Last year there was some really expensive looking solid wood carved cabinets and a large table. Old stuff. But alas I have noodle arms or I would have got it all.

Update to the couch story. The little two seat couch is no longer alone!
Yesterday morning at 6:30am as I walked to the store via the hole in the fence next to the dumpster his big brother the three seat couch was there!
Both of them are a cream colour, no tears, scratches or stains. The three seater had a homeless person asleep on it.
On the way back from the store the sun was just starting to rise so I went and took a better and closer look at the little couch. Even felt it.
It is REAL leather!
Also for anyone interested there are a couple of twin sized mattresses, both sealed in plastic wrap and a queen sized one also in plastic wrap.
Homeless person however likes the couch…
It is 49F and the three feet apart rule is being broken.
They are currently nine inches away from each other and gradually getting closer.
Although back to back.
@ Possum:
For anyone wondering what I am talking about you don’t have cats.
There are very strict rules about sleeping distances. However, the colder it gets those distances reduce until when it gets below freezing cats all curl up together in a tangled heap.
Lunch is either the same as supper last night. Other half of the roast chicken breast, the rest of the can of carrots with Alfredo sauce and stuffing.
However Raccoon shit tacos are prepared. Ground beef, an egg, Italian breadcrumbs and finely chopped onion and a sprinkle of McCormick taco seasoning. Made into three shit shaped things and airfried at 250F for 20 mins to blend the flavours and then 15 minutes at 350F. To be served on flour tortillas with salsa I walked to the store to get this morning and sour cream.
Thinking about it, bangers and mash with baked beans and onion gravy would be nice but. No potatoes, no baked beans, and no sausages. I have ajar of gravy in stock and an onion though.
I would kill for a Greggs sausage roll….

For anyone wondering what yesterday lunch actually was.
It was not the roast chicken dinner, it was not the beef tacos. As usual I ate something totally different to what I had spent hours making.
Lunch was garlic shrimp with cashews and a packet of ramen noodles stir fried with a touch of oyster sauce and siracha.
So, today has to be roast chicken meal or beef tacos. Unless….
Walmart grocery order just arrived. Containing two loaves of fluffy Italian bread. We have bacon in stock, also tomatoes and mayo. Plus that Walmart cheap spam. ( I love that shit ) Sandwiches may be on the menu.
However today high is 50F and I have a can of chili in stock. Plus assorted soups.
LOL.
Last week Trump declared Venezuela airspace CLOSED.
That was bollocks, the USA cannot close the airspace of another sovereign nation. The FAA issues a NOTAM advising aircraft that flying over Venezuela may be risky.
Today many aircraft are flying there. Closed airspace my ass.
Got an email confirmation that my electricity bill was paid $49.41.
I always worry about that on since last year one automatic payment mis-fired due to who the fuck knows and I was crawling around in the dark and cold and hungry for two days until it got sorted out.
Check utility automatic payments actually go through. Since that disaster both my phones are on manual payments now.
Homeland Security and Emergency Management sending out tweets to xcare us yet again telling us to stockpile water and food.

The World Health Organization is concerned about the shortage of weight loss drugs.
Used to combat obesity. However, I have an alternative plan!
Fucking eat less….
On a totally unrelated topic ( I play with my body )
November results are in. 1st November 2025 211.2 pounds. yes weight has been gradually creeping up all year. 1st December 2024 I was a skinny 202.8 pounds. November 30th 2025 and we are at 208.6 pounds.
So, lost about 3 pounds in November by getting my daily average calorie intake down to 2469 cal per day.
Embarrassing thing is daily average calorie intake for November from food was 984.
LOL I know why I is fat! * burp *

@ lobo91:
Ozempic, Monjano etc were developed to be a drug that helped control type 2 diabetes. Also known as late onset diabetes.
That is caused in younger people by eating crap and getting fat. In people over 65 it is something that just happens.
My father and grandfather both had it. And they were not obese.
Anyway, it was discovered that the drugs also caused weight loss in fat people that were not diabetic. Weight loss due to reduction in hunger feelings so they did not eat as much.
Something like the way Viagra was discovered to create huge and long lasting erections. It was a heart medication initially, but a side effect was, well that is history.
I could go rambling on about weight loss and feeling hungry for days. When I drink my current stash of box wine and Busch light I am going to go Keto again.
The trick with that is, a meal may be a couple of boiled eggs with some cheese and mayo. Or a can of tuna, with mayo and a tomato. It is not much and not filling at all.
But, after 30 minutes when what you ate gets analyzed by Mr Stomach and Mr Small Intestine body realizes it has some serious digestion to do, so hunger goes away.
Key to weight loss? eat less.

Bought the missus her Christmas present today: a new Washer, discounted for Black Friday on a Monday, sales tax absorbed by the appliance store, and another 30% off because it’s a floor model. Almost identical to the one we have, just a different brand name (Amana) from the same manufacturer. No LED controls to fuck things up, just old-school knobs and a shut off button for when it gets pissy about the load balance. She’s gonna be so surprised when she opens the box.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
Oh wait. It’s a floor model, so no box. I’ll have the delivery people put it into the garage instead of under the tree.

So they make washers that you put on a shelf or hang from the ceiling now?
I would also by a floor model. I am scared of heights especially when washing my panties and socks.
While we are on the subject of washers and dryers. Best laundry room ever was at a state park. There were two washers and two dryers and they were free to use.
Normally in a laundry place with top loading washers they say when you are done leave the lid open. To signify it is empty.
At the state park they have a big sign on the wall saying ” please close the washer lid when you are done ” Also a small sign saying ” before you load laundry into the washer please check there are no animals in it ”
Good advice.

January-February I spent over two months living at Brazos State park in a cabin on Sunday night to Friday morning as it was cheaper than a hotel room. Commuting from College Station to Houston.
The cabins had screened windows but no glass, I pitched a tent inside.
You would think a cabin in the middle of nowhere would be quiet. Nope herds of wild hogs and alligators were a nightly occurrence.
Also squirrels nesting or doing squirrel stuff in the roof!
Looking back, I enjoyed that time.

I don’t really care how many comments a thread has. The number of comments does not slow it down.
It is the number of embeds and the pre-buffering that it does when videos are embedded that does.
As to writing an article then I would but nobody reads it. Nobody even bothers to click on what Lucy made for supper.
As a side note, all the roast chicken is gone now. Lunch will be those shit shaped beef taco things she made two days ago.
Why form beef taco filling into sausage shapes and then air fry it?
That way all the filling does not fall out of the bottom when you pick one up to eat it. SCIENCE!!!!
Mrs RW has been making these book nooks. Little diorama type things that go on your shelves. She’s probably done a dozen or so, and both her friend & I ordered one for her Christmas.

One thing I have to say about Space Bimbos are that they are anatomically correct.
No males pretending to be women.
How can I tell? Don’t bother with looking for an Adams apple, that can be removed with expensive surgery and breasts can be grown.
The true test is one I have mentioned before on many forums.
Get the suspect to face you. Arms outstretched to about 30 degrees and palms facing you.
A true woman has a slight bend in her arms at the elbow.
Try that test on a loved one….

Get the front three in the scrum who are learned in the magic that happens at scrum time. Anyone can push but it takes ‘magic’ to discover what goes on in the scrum!
Find a little kid who is totally fearless or stupid, to stand up in a place where everyone around weighs twice what the half weighs.
Promote some Embryo who can hang off the ‘open head side’ of a scrum and actually is able to think and plot. The forwards will love him / her as their leader of the tough stuff and the backs will love him/her for all the ball that can be stolen, for the backs to play with. The #7 will also have non-cauliflower ears as an additional plus! 🙂
Find an Embryo that is ice cold under the high ball, and lacks the’ fear gene’, as 15 opponents collectively head for the space where he/she is occupying. Being a part time scratch winger that can seem to occupy several places at the same time, when things seem to go badly wrong. Pre- cognition is a useful skill set as well, and if she/ he can also kick makes the perfect Full back Embryo.
Winger both need speed and the rest of the Backs are just slower wingers who know how to torpedo pass the ball and make up the light weight backs. I forget the 5/8 who needs to be the master /mistress of ceremonies.

@ Possum:
Another real time 1970’s thing was when doing an operation that involved magnetic tape it was common to label that temporary tape reel 111111 and that tape reel was usually one that was rejected due to excess errors and basically worn out.
Instigated a procedure where ” scratch ” tapes were fresh.
Tests were much better after that.

However, Grok knew what I was talking about!
See, I ain’t full of shit sometimes.
There was a strange variant of the PDP11 family that fascinated me. It was as fast as a PDP11/70 but had limited memory. 11/70 was 4Mb 11/60 only 256Kb.
Got to work on a 11/60 and fell in love with it. It had a writable control store which meant it could load an addition to the instruction set. A computer designed to do a specific task.
What was that specific task that did not need a lot of memory but was in those days faster than shit off a chrome plated shovel?
You are going to ask the US Navy about that and missiles.
PDP11/60 will always be my favorite.

@ Possum:
I am just a boring old man. Missiles?
Not me!!!!!
and you now know the secret. The missile knows where it isn’t and it does not fucking care. It is spreading its wings and flying free until a damn computer says.
Best service call I ever went out for was….
Customer reporting chaff ( the aluminum strips ejected from an aircraft to confuse missiles and radar )
not being deployed from a Harrier aircraft. Known as an AV-8 in US Marine talk.
It was a computer the size of a semi truck. No wings, no engines. A simulator.
Took it down, ran a full suite of diagnostics for hours and found nothing wrong with it. ( I am an asshole, knew what the problem was )
Handed the system back and then asked ” where is the chaff ejected from? ”
Answer was ” But, but it is a simulator! ”
Programmers sort of disappeared
While we are on the subject of aircraft engines I had the pleasure of doing a service call at a REDACTED place where they built and serviced military jet engines.
I was taken on a tour.
They hang the engines over a hole in the floor and work on them that way. Lifting and lowering.
Makes sense when you see it.
Currently 65F here and at 1:41pm ( 13:41 rest of the world time ) I have an invasion of fruit flies that are really focused on eating cat food.
One, It is too cold for fruit flies and there is no fruit in apartment.
Two, Fruit flies don’t eat canned cat food.
We may have a problem in Houston….
A new influx of residents here. I know many left due to the amount of furniture, couches and children’s toys in and around the dumpster.
I communicate with Hispanic neighbours using smiles and fist bumps and the Guatemalans shake hands. They also refer to me as ” Gringo ” which is an insult in Mexican but a term of affection in other central American countries.
Anyway, we have a batch of new residents. They are very dark skinned and look at me like I am shit.
I am not an expert but I don’t think they are from Haiti as I know French/Creole and they are not yelling at their kids in those languages.
We will see how the new visitors assimilate.
Lunch is going to be bangers and mash and baked beans.
The sausage is a big sausage and will be cut in half to fit on the plate.
The sausage will also be decorated with fried onions.
Mayo may or may not be placed on the mash.
And I got a sidebar. Which actually is a sad thing.

@ eaglesoars:
Massed shooting in Sydney at Bondi Beach. 1000 Jewish Sydney residents were celebrating the first night of Harnukka. Currently the blood toll is 40 wounded and 16 dead. Two muslim terrorists involved with 1 KIA and 1 WIA by the NSW Police Force, with a possible third terrorist still at large. NSW Police have raided a Western Sydney suburb Bonnyrigg, the home of the KIA terrorist, with 3 muslims family members arrested and one taken into custody.
A muslim civilian, a greengrocer from Sutherland district of Southern Sydney, at Bondi Beach dining with his wife was a hero. He stalked one of the terrorist shooters who had shot a large number of Jewish civilians, by slipping between parked cars in the Bondi carpark and covered the final 10 metres and fought with the shooter tearing the rifle from the killer’s hands and sending him scuttling away. This guy has balls of brass, for taking on a shooter when he was totally unarmed! Alas this terrorist then re-joined his fellow terrorist on the walkway bridge and grabbed a spare weapon and started killing more Jews once more. He was sniped by NSW Police and killed. His fellow terrorist was also critically wounded by the Police.
The Leader of the Jewish Eastern Suburbs of Sydney community, was one of the16 KIA victims. Many of the WIA have terrible wounds and the death toll may rise from 16 to a higher number.The Israeli President (Bibi) has fiercely attacked the Australian Prime Minister for allowing the very large radical Muslim community in Western Sydney suburbs, for supporting and allowing Islamists free reign demonstrating in thousands at Circular and the Opera House, blockading the Sydney Harbour bridge , attacking Jewish centres and Synagogs, burning jewish owned cars and assets, for over 12 months, with little suppression by the hard left Labor Federal government. The Federal and State Police and Security Services have been severely restricted by the Labor Federal government in suppressing Islamist attacks on local Jewish communities. Prime Minister Albeneese, a former Marxist and also an anarchist, was recently in the US meeting Trump trying to ‘polish’ his reputation. His Foreign Minister Penny Wong, a Marxist and friend of the CCP, was in Israel a few weeks ago, but spent the time not meeting the Israeli government, but instead she met with Hamas and the Palestinians. Shows where her support lays!
SPIT!
@ coldwarrior:
Interesting, isn’t it, how Prime Minister Albanese can issue a statement last night about the massacre at the Hanukkah event at Bondi……and yet….not mention the words “Hanukkah”, “Jews” “Islamists” or Terrorists
But why should he change from his usual mealy-mouthed, pathetic rhetoric.
Why should he comment on the documented facts of 1,654 anti-Jewish incidents across Australia between 1 Oct, 2024 and 30 Sept. 2025….in addition to 2,062 incidents nationwide the year before?
Why would he want to say that antisemitic incidents in Australia remain at historically high levels, at almost five times the average annual number before Oct. 7, 2023, including arson attacks against synagogues, pre schools and other Jewish institutions, that are higher than in any previous year on record?
Where’s the Australian Labor Party votes amongst the 800,000 imported muslims, if he admitted to any of those facts?
But….did you expect anything different from someone thrown out of the Australian Marxists ending up in a neo-Trotskyist crew with a career of supporting Palestinians and the CCP to boot?
The NSW Police have closed the search for the third terrorist. The confusion was caused by some reason why the elder terrorist changing his Trousers before the attack started cause confusion of exactly how many terrorists were involved.
It turns out that only two terrorists were involved a 50 year old father and his 24 year old son. The son was a registered carrier of a gun licence for six hunting rifles and target firearms. The victims include a well known Bondi Beach luminary Peter Meagher, a 10 year old girl Matilda, a French national tourist aged 34, two Rabbis from Sydney Eastern Suburbs Jewish community,and victims ranging from a 10 year old girl to an 86 year old woman. Many victims were above 60 and they had trouble evacuating the immediate ares in the seaside park at Bondi Beach.
One of the seriously wounded victims was the heroic Muslim from Sutherland in Sydney’s South, who wrestled the heavy firearm from the 50 year old terrorist father. This heroic civilian was seriously wounded by the 24 year old son of the terrorist Father, after he wrestled the firearm from the terrorist father’s, arms.
A Jewish father was killed protecting his wife and son from the terrorists by using his body to protect his family. The 50 year old terrorist father was shot dead by the NSW Police, after he rearmed himself with a ‘spare’ shot gun and carried on killing and wounding Jewish crowds trapped and under fire in the park behind the Bondi Beach esplanade! His son was very seriously wounded by the NSW Police snipers. The terrorist’s car had been rigged with two substantial explosives charges, but the vehicle was cleared by the ‘Police Bomb Squad’.
The Australian Security Intelligence Organization knew of the terrorist Father, ‘as a person of interest’.
In other news, Rob Reiner and his wife were found stabbed to death in their home in Brentwood, CA by their daughter. Apparently the killer was their son, a homeless druggie.

So, what is C1,C2,C3 and is there C5 and C6?
Going to ask Grok, my friend.

Well that was easy. Took 30 seconds. If I did it myself would have taken three beers, a bowl of peanuts and I would have got sidetracked half way through and forgotten the original question.

Oh, and fail safe technique for coating halved baby potatoes or anything you desire is use a gallon Ziploc bag. The heavy duty freezer kind.

Yes green beans are out of a can but messed with.
First drain a can of green beans, over half of the can is water. Then place well drained green beans in a microwave container. I use them plastic kiim shee bowls that meals come in. Microwave 2 minutes at 700W for 2 minutes. I has a baby microwave.
While green beans are coming up to temperature melt one ounce of butter in a frying pan on high. Then add the green beans, they sizzle!
Stir fry them on high.
A perfect supper. Roast potatoes, Sautee green beans, roasted potatoes. Served with a side of apple sauce and mayo.
Probably all going in the fridge. Fresh made leftovers.
A loaf of fluffy Italian bread arrived today, and bacon and tomato is in stock. We shall see what supper is going top be.
