people would rather make excuses for themselves than take action.

oh! that's great crosscountry, really and I think this is applicable everywhere, even here too the same principle applies. people are trying and searching for more excuses than taking an action, or for the implementation, but they don't forget to add the new dinner style into their life everyday, e.g. they are taking frequently hotel dinner, they are arranging the parties on every sunday, they are going crossing the line of bulky weight, but they don't bother.

I think the menu for everyday dinner is limitless, people are swallowing dinner rather than chewing it.

Don't attribute human attributes or attitudes to animals. How many bugs do you think a cow eats while foraging?

If it's any comfort, for baleen whales it's worse.

You are probably right in making the observation that people do this everywhere, but most likely you will agree that in the US it occurs more often and has become a significant problem. This may be in the starting stages where you are, but it has been here for several decades and gets worse every year.

Americans are unhealthy, and we do so little about that.

I heard that if we chew chicken in the mouth our mouth mussles becomes more stronger, secondly it gives a good excercise to the jaws also, I don't know what is truth and experience of chicken eating people.

If the same consideration applied to my mother's pot roast, I should have had the world's strongest jaw muscles by age 5.

At least the uniformly gray vegetables were soft.

where else are we going to chew it? Pretty sure humans don't have stone-derived gastroliths.

I posted my dinner once, but with the US Mail and all, by the time it got there it was all rotten and runny.

Pulled a tub of red sauce out of the deep freeze last night. Everything from last summer's garden, except the Italian sausage of course. Well not EVERYTHING, as that would have made it about a 200 gallon tub of goodies.

As good as the day it was made.

grilled some fajita meat and corn tortillas. add to that grated cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes and you've got yourself a meal. Some good Mexican beer only adds to the ambiance.

Fajita meat is usually skirt steak. Skirt used to be one of the cheapest cuts of beef available. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skirt_steak

In the tissue industry, we utilize a 200 ton steam filled cast iron drum in the final drying stage. The paper is creped off of it by a steel blade. When a new drum is put in service, it must be cured. The process involves lard oil and sandpaper of finer and finer grades and takes several days. There is considerable mysticism around the practice. If the drum is "scratched" during a process upset, the whole process must be repeated. It is called "a polish" and cannot be rushed. We used to hang rubber chickens off the catwalk to insure a successful startup.

Last night it was boiled shrimp, broccoli, and a big salad. Mom invited my brother and I for dinner.


Tonight I have a date, so it's eating out time. That's a rare thing for me.

Early today I threw a roast and veggies in the crockpot. Made a loaf of bread in the bread machine. Easy and good!

Last night 4 big mugs of weak hot tea & lemon, two teaspoons sugar in each. Nothing else.
Reason -- bad dose flu & 4 days' worth of chicken soup noon & night with continuous green tea in-between have not cured it.
Drinking more tea+lemon now @ 2.46 am

Anything else you don't want to know ???

Overnight, two dishes:

New England Boiled Dinner (Polski style): Pound of kielbasa, sliced; diced: one small turnip, three medium potatoes, three carrots, two onions; one half head of cabbage, sliced into large sections. Enough water to barely cover. All in the slow cooker for a nice 12 hour simmer. Freshly ground horseradish mandatory.

Boston Baked Beans: Pound of dry navy beans, soaked, cooked, 1/2 pound of hickory smoked bacon, 1/2 small diced onion, 1/8 lb. salt pork, [1/2 tbsp dry mustard, 1/4 cup catsup, 1/2 cup of molasses, 1 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce: all combined into sauce mixture], 2 cups boiling water. Ingredients layered in a covered bean pot and topped with sauce mixture and boiling water, then "marinated" in fridge overnight. Then into 275 F oven for 6 hours. Yum!

Meanwhile, hope you're feeling better, toejam! Use your head on that ball for the time being.

Just scarfed some left over hamburger helper: "Lasagna" It neither helps the hamburger nor is it lasagna, especially left over. I passed on the left over fajitas but it came down to which had been in the fridge the longest. Plus I'm planning a trip to a very good mexican restaurant we have here, on my weekend and fajitas might spoil it.

Had a date last night. I took her to a Chinese restaurant that specializes in Duck dishes. Good thing she likes duck!

Lunch really. That's olive oil in the bowl for dipping the bread.

this week has been a mess. A friend flew in for Spring Break, and we traveled a lot around South Texas. I haven't actually cooked a meal since picking him up at the airport. Today he flies home, so I can get back to cooking.
