Exercising on a treadmill feels like punishment so it came as no surprise to me that the treadmill has its origins as a torture device in Victorian prisons.

Can you judge a book by its odour? Cocoa, wood, rusks – every book has a distinctive smell. And each smell says something about how and when it was made, and where it has been.

How to make a chicken last a week I buy a tiny organic bird once in awhile and make a roast dinner, hot chicken sandwiches, chicken salad and soup from it. I feed the fatty bits to my pets. I never thought of cooking the legs and crown separately but it's a good idea.
All these American right wing survivalists worried about an invasion from Canada, are unaware it’s already happened, and continues right under their noses.:o)
ReplyDeleteJust chipping in to say I like the Sunday Links -- especially since New Inquiry quit doing it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike. I wasn't familiar with New Inquiry but popped my nose in. I've added it to my Feedly and will have to figure out how to add a couple of hours to my day to catch up on all the good stuff that's posted there.
ReplyDeleteWe like to buy a chicken two or three times a year and feast on it for a week. I've recently learned the thriftiness of making "paté" from the liver, neck, heart, etc. I simmer them slowly (and save the water for the gravy), then chill them, chop them up very fine, and add ground nuts (so far pistachios, walnuts, and almonds are all very good) and enough chilled chicken fat and/or bacon fat to hold it together. It only makes a small amount of the stuff, but it's delicious on crackers and toast, and uses up parts that I otherwise don't know what to do with.
ReplyDeleteI used to make pate but now the dog gets all the extra bits.
