of the out of season veggies we've been getting here are from Mexico.
It's been nice to once again enjoy Avocados for $.25 each.

$.89 he-(

They do get that high sometimes, but they've been 4/$1.00 now for a good
couple of months. Nice decent Haas too.

The oil cartels have a stranglehold on the world economy.

It's not the fossil fuel, which is supposed to reach its' peak in 2030
and isn't sustainable in any event. It's the unsustainable consumption
of natural resources which will increase as the 2.8 billion people who
live on $2/day and others in the Third World aspire to first world
living standards. The poorest countries are the most overpopulated.

Yes. The higher the education level, the fewer kids born. It's kinda
scary actually.
Your new to marketing aren't you?

Not really. ;-)
What makes you say that?

In this day and age of self-promotion, when everybody is walking around
with portfolios to hype themselves, a more appropriate response would
have been,"It gives my skin the scent of lavender and the taste of
raspberries";-)

lol Ok! I was not trying to market it per se'.
I personally don't mind the smell of garlic (when dad hits it heavy, I
can smell him when I walk into his room) but many find it to be
offensive.


Among winemakers, pinot noir often is attributed with having a "barnyard
odor" but that descriptor isn't used in advertising.

Aak. Today we're the same. Fired up the barbecue yesterday. First time
since Thanksgiving. Only cooked chicken and sausages over hickory chips.
My god it smelled good and tasted even better. It's been a long winter
and our taste buds were more than ready. The "Hounds from Hell" and four
of the five cats were totally bummed. No bones. Randy, the old man of
the felines got a few scraps but he wasn't satisfied. Tonight we gotta
do some ribs or our companions will find some way to show their
dissatisfaction. Ribs here are a much anticipated summer staple for
saturday nights, which attracts all our little four footed friends
around the barbecue.

Man. I've not BBQ'd in ages. I need to do it soon. I bought those racks
of beef ribs for $.69 per lb. a couple of weeks ago. I'll follow the
instructions and braise/roast them first, then finish them off in the
BBQ with some mesquite. ;-d

It was 34 degrees here this morning btw.


It's in the 40's outside right now. We are running the furnace, but I
have my bedroom window open. I like it cooler in the house than dad
does. But, he _is_ 75. I'm just glad that he was willing to move back
in with me. I don't want him living alone any more. We can work with the
thermostat wars. g

We are down to a fire in the morning which keeps the house warm all day.

I don't have a fire place.

I eat when I get hungry. Generally twice per day altho' if I'm really
busy, I may only eat once when I settle in for the evening...

Setting down to the table for dinner is important for us, it's not a
hard and fast rule, but it is our standard.

But all there is is me and my dad. :-) We sometimes sit down and eat
lunch together, but most of the time we snack/eat when we get hungry.


I know you have an awkward schedule which probably makes it too
difficult to do. Are you swing or graveyard?

Graveyard. 22:00 to 06:30.
