    Again ... I've always had a problem when I decided to start-up me
    Electric when half-drunk { usually a couple/three times a year }
    and play.It takes a while to get jammin'. Because guitar is no different
    than other instruments.You lose a little if you don't practice.
    I find that getting calluses are a big part of going w/o playing for
    months.I dislike calluses on my guitar chord hand.I still don't know
    why there is no product available to help protect the finger {s} from
    calluses when Jammin'.

    I looked it up. The recipe I saw they stick 5 pieces of uncooked spaghetti in the hotdogs and then boil the whole thing. I guess you really could boil half and half of the spaghetti but it would be a challenge. Plus the after product looks gross anyway. lol

    You basically call stuff the same then. Aside from you calling pasta/macaroni, pasta. I think the majority of people do call it pasta. I don't know why we call it macaroni. It makes no sense why growing up we wouldn't call it pasta.

    Tomato sauce without meat is marinara. Tomato sauce with meat is gravy.
    I read calling it gravy is a regional thing and could be a generational/assimilating thing. My grandparents came here before 1950's. They strived to assimilate and become American citizens and speak English. I read saying sauce was close to salsa or something like that.

    I found the article I read a while back.
    I don't know how true it is, but I know gravy has meat in it. lol

    If you live close enough the best way is to pick them up fresh. We bought some fresh and the fisherman said not to ice them down they would keep till we got home. We did and the ones we didn't cook I threw in our pond and they lived to be giants. It was surprising they lived.

    I make tomato gravy sometimes but my tomato gravy isn't as involved as your tomato gravy. Mine consists of tomatoes, salt, pepper, a bit of sugar and some pan drippings. We put the tomato gravy over rice. It is a southern thing down here.

    If you told your dog "Go Frisbee yourself" - would it have a 'I know you're speaking English but I still don't understand' moment?

    He didn't own a heeler either. Ours will bark when a car comes around the curve down the road. It is like she is saying someone is coming. She is an excellent watchdog.

    Cats don't make excellent watch-whatevers. A human of mal intent could stroll around our deck, and their only concern would be if they have opposable thumbs so they can open the food cans. Possums or raccoons can be eating whatever on the deck, and the fuzz-butts will stay up on their deck chairs and watch.

    You put another cat on the deck, and the people two counties over know about it....    ​

    She had a colorful history. The first time I read about her was in Thomas Wolfe's book "The Right Stuff" where there was a lot more about her than in the movie.

    There's an Emmy-winning documentary about her out on DVD or free for those who have Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E7V19RU?ref_=imdbref_tt_wbr_piv&tag=imdbtag_tt_wbr_piv-20

    The best relationships between men and women are joint ventures where the partners combine to achieve each others needs and desires. Whenever success is achieved over time and life's challenges are overcome this alliance is strengthened.

    I have 2 cups of pecans and want to bake something. I have some time and Im in super wifelike mode. lol
    I don't have that syrup stuff for pecan pie. We've never had pecan pie but it looks ridiculously sweet and we are not into super sweet stuff. Anyway I figured make some butter pecan cookies. Cookies are always a winner.
    My God you guys down south make stuff so complicated. Im suppose to roast these pecans first?
    Who has a good recipe for butter pecan cookies?
    Does this sound about right? Im not going through all this for them to suck.

    Spinach, pecan, guacamole dip. Spread on rye crackers, swiss cheese, and sliced turkey.

    Now you tell me! lol
    That sounds great. Im going to remember that. They had pecans on sale. I never really make anything with pecans. Usually its walnuts.
    I put the recipe I linked together. That recipe seemed like the most logical one to me. Its basically regular cookie dough with toasted pecans. Its in the freezer chilling because I have some time but not a 3 hour window wait for that to chill and then bake them.
