I know you don't use a cell phone much (or didn't). I'm not as bad as
a teenager but the cell phone is part of my essential equipment. If it gets misplaced, or falls out of its pocket in my trousers I sometimes
have to resort to calling it from my land-line phone and listen for
thw ring tone. Bv)=

I hear that! We've had nothing but cell phones since we came back from
HI in fall of 2006. Every so often one of us will misplace our phone
and the other person will have to call it. Doesn't happen a lot but
it's handy to have the other phone. I don't think we've had a "misplacement" while one or the other of us has been out of the house
tho.

During the recent power outaage I tried to use my land liene phone to
make a call and it told me "No power to base station". So I had to get
the old desk phone that I kept and find a telephone jack to plug it in.
Then it worked fine .... the telephone company has its own power source.

Title: Baker's Memory Potatoes
Categories: Potatoes, Vegetables, Herbs
Yield: 4 Servings

MMMMM-----------------------ONION FILLING----------------------------
2 tb Peanut oil
2 sm Onions; peeled, fine dice
1 tb Fresh minced thyme
+=OR=+
1 ts Dried thyme; crumbled
1 tb Champagne or white wine
- vinegar
Salt & fresh ground pepper

MMMMM--------------------------POTATOES-------------------------------
1 1/4 lb Russet potatoes; peeled
2 oz Unsalted butter; melted
Salt & fresh ground pepper

FOR THE ONION FILLING: Place a heavy medium saucepan on
medium low heat and add the oil. Add the onions and
thyme, cover and cook until very tender, for about 20
minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vinegar, bring
to a boil and stir until absorbed. Season with salt and
pepper. (This can be prepared ahead, cooled, covered and
set aside at room temperature.)

FOR THE POTATOES: Carefully cut potatoes into thin, even
slices using a knife, a mandoline or a food processor
with a slicing blade. Place in a large bowl of cold
water. (This can be prepared to this point and set aside
at room temp in bowl covered with cold water. Drain
before continuing with the recipe.)

TO COOK: Set the oven @ 450ºF/232ºC. Dry the drained
potatoes well in a lettuce spinner and a clean bath
towel. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trace four 5"/13cm circles on the parchment with dark
ink. Turn the paper over. If the circles are not
visible, redraw them so they are. Brush the circles
lightly with butter. Overlap the potatoes to cover the
bottom of each circle, using least attractive slices for
the center. Brush lightly with butter.

Season with salt and pepper. Divide the onions among the
centers of the circles. Flatten onions to 1/8" thick
circles using a spatula. Overlap 1 layer of potatoes
around the rim of each circle, leaving part of the onion
center exposed. Brush the top layer of potatoes lightly
with butter.

Season with salt and pepper. Press down on the top
layer, sealing it to the bottom layer. Bake until brown
and crisp, for about 30 minutes. Press the layers
together and neaten edges several times while baking.

TO SERVE: Slide a long narrow spatula under the potatoes
to loosen them from the paper. Switch to a broad spatula
and carefully transfer the potatoes to 4 small or main
course plates, neatening the edges if necessary.

Serve immediately.

Hi Dave,

I try to keep things in logical spots but somebody else seems to have a different logic to himself as to where some things should go. When we were in HI, some friends helped me unpack the kitchen after I broke my elbow just after moving in to post housing. Later on, I went thru, organising the shelves and making lists of what was in each cabinet,
top or bottom shelf. Taped those lists to the inside cabinet door--a
big help in finding things over the next 5 years or so. Did it again in Savannah but haven't in either place in WF.

Fortunately I've not had to do that. If I had more cabinet space, then perhaps.

It helps when you move multiple times, especially after you've spent a
long time in one place. We were in AZ 8 years before going to HI, 5 1/2
in HI before going to GA. Lots of time to become familiar with what was
where. But, I still occaisionally look for something where it was in a (sometimes several) place(s) past. (G)

Title: Senior Lamb & Rice Pilaf
Categories: Lamb/mutton, Rice, Vegetables, Herbs
Yield: 8 Servings

2 c Basmati rice (370 g)
4 Heads garlic; whole
1/2 c Vegetable oil (120 ml)
2 lb Boneless leg of lamb; in 3"
- pieces (900 g)
2 lg Onions; thin sliced
5 lg Carrots; coarse grated
2 tb Cumin seeds (15 g)
2 tb Coriander seed (10 g)
1/2 c Fresh barberries (55 g) *
1 ts Whole black peppercorns (2g)
2 c Boiling water; to cover (475
- ml)
2 tb Salt (35 g)

* may substitute dried cranberries

Place basmati rice in a large bowl and cover with warm
water. Set aside. Wash heads of garlic. Set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a dutch oven or large skillet over
high heat until smoking, then add lamb, turning
occasionally until the lamb is evenly browned, about 10
minutes. Stir in the onions; cook and stir until onion
has softened and browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the
carrots; cook and stir until the carrots have softened,
about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cumin, coriander,
barberries, and peppercorns. Drop whole garlic heads
into the mixture, stirring to distribute ingredients
evenly.

Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 30 minutes.

Wash and drain basmati rice with hot water. Pour cleaned
rice over the lamb mixture in an even layer. Slowly pour
in the boiling water. The rice should be covered with
about 3/4 inch of water. Do not stir. Season with salt,
and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice
is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20
minutes. Stir rice and lamb together, and serve with the
garlic heads on top.

spray with flour.

Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13" x
9" pan, using water, oil and egg whites. Cool 10
minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack.

Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Cut 1 1/4" strip from each long side of cake. Trim

Instead of using a decorating bag and tip, place the
frosting in a resealable food-storage plastic bag, cut
a tiny hole in one corner and use to pipe the frosting.
Use different bags for different colors.

We were members of AARP for a bit, until we found out their political stance. It disagreed with ours so we dropped it.

For those who might be curious, were did you find the info on AARP's political stances?

The AARP is a nonpartisan organisation, sweetheart. Its members
are many, of all political stripes. Man is both a political and a
social creature, as is his nature. That includes women. This has
been true since men and women lived in caves ...

Hi Sean,

We were members of AARP for a bit, until we found out their political stance. It disagreed with ours so we dropped it.

Have you looked into AMAC (Association of Mature American Citizens)?
I'm a member. https://amac.us

We've heard Mark Levin talk about it but just not yet gotten around to
checking it out for ourselves. It sounds like one we'd be more likely to
join.

On topic, I have been doing a lot of cooking lately and enjoying it a
lot.

We've been cooking this week for our mission team while up in VT.
Tonight I made penne pasta with a bolinase sauce, garlic bread (boughten
made, just needed heating) and a salad based on the one we had in
Fairbanks. Just a bit of salad was left when we came out to the camper
about 90 minutes after supper ended. We're getting more rain, with more flooding possible as I type.

I've been thinking about trying this:

Title: Alaska Salmon Chowder
Categories: Soups, Fish
Yield: 6 Servings

7 1/2 oz Canned Alaska salmon
1/2 c Chopped onions
1/2 c Chopped celery
1 Garlic clove; minced
2 tb Margarine
1 c Diced potatoes
1 c Diced carrots
2 c Low salt chicken broth
1/2 ts Thyme
1/4 ts Black pepper
1/2 c Chopped broccoli
13 oz Low-fat evaporated milk
10 oz Frozen corn kernels; thawed
Minced parsley

Looks good but we'll have to leave out the corn. I'm still a bit "fished
out" from all the salmon we had in Alaska but should get over it fairly
soon. (G)

Hi Dave,

I remember the first phone of which I was aware. The one phone in
the house hung on the wall, did not have even a rotary dial, and
did have a crank on the side which spun a magneto. I was too short

Those are antiques for me.

For me, as well. My relatives in Southern Illinois kept their old hand cranked phones when the phone company went to smaller desk phones and operators. Since they all lived on more-or-less adjoining farms Uncles
Tom and Rob ran the wire connecting up the network for a family phone company.

Hey, it worked. (G)

we got all modern and had a "desk" phone - still sans dial. When

We had one of those too. My folks got an extention phone in their
bedroom when the town went dial.

you picked up the hand set and put it to your ear after a few
seconds you'd hear a nasal query of "Number please". Phones in
those days (after the wooden wall phones) were like Ford motorcars
used to be. Any colour you'd like as long as it was black. Bv)=

Exactly right! And my parent's main dial phone (and first extention)
were black for many decades.

Title: Cell Phone Cake
Categories: Desserts, Cakes, Candies
Yield: 15 Servings

One of our Vacation Bible School curriculums is on Wisdom. The first
unit deals with wisdom calling so the last time we did it, for crafts
the kids made "cell phones". Steve cut out/base painted wooden cell
phone shapes. Kids added a peel and stick keyboard and their memory
verse was put in the screen area.

Flippers or smarty-pants phone? We used to weave pot-holders at our summer-time chucch day-camps. And braid lanyards and bracelets.

The old what used to be called "candy bar" phones--pre smart phones.
I try to tie the craft into the lesson, which today was on hiding God's
Word in your heart. The craft was 2 posterboard hearts, one with the
memory verse on, the other with the scripture about hiding His Word in
your heart. Kids peeled & stuck those onto the hearts, then decorated
them with markers. Holes were punched in the "humps" of the hearts; we
ran a string thru the holes and tied it off so the hearts could be hung
on a door knob or whatever.

The organisation itself is not political, and is non-partisan.
Some of its members may be, as it is comprised of retired persons
of all political stripes. It makes no endorsements of candidates
or parties, as shown online.

We are all both political and social animals. Each and every one
of us. That is our nature, and always will be, for as long as man

(boughten made, just needed heating) and a salad based on the one we

with more flooding possible as I type.

We received over five inches of rain last night in three hours. A lot
of roads are closed in our region. I'm okay because I'm on elevated ground.

Our house is partly down a hill, maybe about 1/3 of the way down so
we've no worry about the stream that runs in back of some of the houses
in the neighborhood. Just got back from VT today, had to swing by
western NY before heading south. Saw a lot of rivers, streams, brooks
quite high and muddy, even into western NY and on our way south. Got
back, turned on the news earlier tonight and found out we've an air
advisory for tomorrow, the Canadian wild fires are still making it rough
to breathe.

Looks good but we'll have to leave out the corn. I'm still a bit
"fished out" from all the salmon we had in Alaska but should get

over RH> it fairly soon. (G)

I should leave out the corn too but I don't. I haven't had fresh
salmon in decades because of the cost.

We buy it from time to time but not all that often. Got some canned on
the shelf that we need to use up, maybe some will go into fish cakes. I
don't have a real recipe for them, just a mix of a mostly drained,
picked over can of fish, chopped onion, egg or two, flour and/or bread
crumbs basically--mix until it holds together, fry in a bit of oil until browned on both sides. Good with fried potatoes.

Title: Sean's Salmon Patties
Categories: Main dish, Fish, Seandennis
Yield: 4 Servings

1 Can (14 3/4 oz) Salmon
4 oz Saltines finely crushed
2 T Onion flakes
2 Eggs
1 T Lemon juice
1 t Black pepper
Oil or butter for frying

Empty can of salmon into large bowl. Remove extra skin and bones if
desired. Mix all ingredients in bowl. In your favorite skillet, pour
enough oil to just cover the bottom and heat until oil shimmers. Form
patties into 4 inch by 1/2 inch patties and fry lightly until golden
brown.

Some taste suggestions: instead of using the lemon juice and pepper,
try using a "lemon and herb" seasoning mix. You could also add a
teaspoon of dill if you like that. Mrs. Dash is a favorite of mine
as well.

We were anticipating air alerts while we were in NY and VT, had a few
days of sunny but hazy weather in NY. Got to VT and the rains came
pouring down so the air cleared up. Most of the time I feel the smoke in
both my eyes and lungs so I appreciate the rain. Got back to NC and
have had a lot of hazy weather; I think it's beginning to clear now.
Had an EF3 tornado hit the Rocky Mount area (a couple of counties east) yesterday during a brief, but intense storm.

Just checked the air quality for today. It's green. It's green for

The weatherman on the station we watch said that by the week end things
will be clear here. Meanwhile, I'm staying inside as much as possible.

It's been pretty decent here. Hot but nothing too crazy. Our local fair,

sweat. One of the very few times I will go out in the heat willingly for

Some good news: I am now able to walk the seven minute walk each way from my apartment to the bus stop I use to go to the VA. I hadn't been able to do
that until just recently thanks to a new experimental set of prosthetic
shoes I am wearing. This bus goes past the local library on the way to the
VA and for me, it's only 50 cents each way. So I've been taking the bus to
and from the VA, getting much needed exercise, and I am thinking about going
to the library with a packed lunch and having lunch in the new park across
the street.

Still working on getting a car for winter but right now I am enjoying the limited freedom I have. I do use my scooter to go to the Dollar General a half-mile away from me. Thankful I have that nearby.

1/2 c Butter or margarine

2 c Shredded mild cheddar (8 oz)

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter then whisk in the

cook and stir for two minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; add
the cheese. Cook and stirl until cheese is melted. 5 1/2 cups yield.

Add to macaroni (onion and ham is good with macaroni), vegetables, or
baked potatoes.

* = Mom's note: "I use 2 cups evaporated milk and 2 cups of water for
the milk ingredient."

Sean's note: This sauce is good and thick. It makes for a great
macaroni and cheese with ham or poured over gently steamed broccoli
florets.

Hi Sean,

I've been pulling "night owl" hours again. Staying up until 3 AM and getting up around 11 AM. I'm trying to reset my schedule to fix that.

I've been trying to get to bed before midnight, tho some nights I don't
get to sleep until 5 or 6 am. I've an alarm that goes off at 7:30 to
take my asthma maintainence med but if possible, on those nights
(mornings) I'll try to get a bit more sleep.

Good to know. I usually check Weather Underground on my phone; they're pretty good about local issues.

It's been pretty decent here. Hot but nothing too crazy. Our local

It's a fun time but when I get home, I always have to shower since
I'm soaked with sweat. One of the very few times I will go out in the heat willingly for long hours.

A small local fair is nice but a bigger one is not one of our favorite
events. I think Wake County combines their county fair with the state
fair so we try to avoid it. I'd much rather walk around our local
farmer's market. (G)

Looks like you're doing well; a 7 minute walk is a good start. If your
VA is like the Durham one, you'll be walking a lot more once you get
there. (G)

Still working on getting a car for winter but right now I am enjoying
the limited freedom I have. I do use my scooter to go to the Dollar General a half-mile away from me. Thankful I have that nearby.

Our truck is in the shop right now but they gave us an F-150 SuperDuty
as a loaner. Can't pack it full of radio stuff but that means I can do a
huge Wegman's run if needs be. (G) Went over there on Saturday intending
on only picking up a couple of things but ended up with much more. Our
shopping bags were at home so we bought another one (always useful) and
the cashier packed it quite full. Only things she didn't put in were the
eggs (2 dozen) and a couple of loaves of bread.

More basic than mine, but the use of lemon in it sounds good. I use
bread crumbs instead of the crackers--reminds me, I need to do a

My mom cooked basic meat and potatoes, vegetables were quite often ones
she'd canned from the garden. Dad wasn't into sauces (did have gravy
sometimes with meat) so the veggies usually had a bit of salt and
margerine as the only seasonings. I still serve them with little added seasonings but can make a good cream or cheese sauce, very often without measuring.

Extra sharp cheddar cheese is what I usually use. If I'm making the
sauce for macaroni and cheese, I'll also add a good squirt of spicy
brown mustard too. You don't really taste it as such but it add to the
over all flavor of the sauce.
