Thanks guys, will give it a try. I'm not sure why, maybe its the salt, but once I eat some good kosher food it's all I crave for the next week.
Yeah, on Google reviews of the place (Weiss), someone posted a picture of the matzo ball soup last month. Looks awesome.
Quote: onenickelmiracleSaw a recipe for German potato salad on Mr. Food a few weeks ago. Finally made some and definitely, "ooh it's so good". Don't skip the parsley. It is a heavenly dish.
Does eating a mayo-dipped french fry constitute taking a bite of potato salad?

My bosses husband is from Germany. Every picnic of his we go to he makes it. It says it is a staple in germany. I see why German beer drinkers are often times large. He says he puts bacon in their and then at the end dumps the bacon grease into it as well.

TLDR: your boss is a chick?
that's pretty much it. It was the first time I ever made it this way. It seems to have an almost exact recipe for dandelion salad, but I don't eat that. Too bitter and you have to remember to pick them when they first start coming up. Only had that once as a kid and we never ate it again really. No need unless you enjoy the taste. I like bitter but nor that bitter.Quote: GWAEMy bosses husband is from Germany. Every picnic of his we go to he makes it. It says it is a staple in germany.

I've been using dandelions in salad for a couple of years now. Yeah, mostly you want the early spring ones, but the main deviation I do here is the whole salad should not be dandelions! [not for me anyway] It should be an component only. Dig the dandelion up and use the blanched portion next to the root, plus just a bit of the green. Very similar to adding arugula. Mucho vitamins and such.
I read this and immediately my spoonerism-mind started thinking about eating Pop Tarts!Quote: RSNo no no! You gotta eat the top part (the bud or flower or whatever). Those are real tasty and nutritious!

Might be ... it's the part you make wine from .... altho I see this recipe calls for 8 cups of sugar; using something that provides no natural sugar makes an unusual concept for a wine. Never much interested myself.

If your boss makes you take jhitty airlines, get another boss. Boss's are everywhere, good employees are hard to find.
Dandelion salad, really? Just slap the next person that says the word 'dandelion', unless you are pointing out plants during an Elementary School field trip.
There was something else, I forget now.
Prolly had sumptin' to do with GWAE and Pepsi ;-)
Pepsi is a foul four letter unmentionable word where I live.
And we carry guns.....

I never fly for work
90 degrees and humid as hell today. Been out since 7am digging my footers. I am determined to have all 9 footers dug and poured by Monday morning. I have done 3 so far today so 6 down and 3 to go. There is no way in hell I am not getting ice cream and pepsi tonight. I am exhausted but want to finish 1 more tonight.
been catching up on posts, got to say something here. Your project is admirable, your porch out front looked marvelous in the pics. Started to post something a couple days ago when there was some confusion over pouring a patio vs putting in footings for a deck, but I couldn't. Boss Wolf has me on a tightly regulated posts per day/week schedule, and I can't afford to get fired, again ;-)Quote: GWAEI never fly for work

Give up the Pepsi (I own Coke stock).
Learn to make your own icecream, not nearly as hard as digging footing holes, and you can eat it!

Got vanilla ice cream with carmed and chocoated covered pecans. It was good but should have gone with tin roof sundae.
Making your own ice cream is fine or just buy Hagen Daz.
Digging footings in the hot sun is great but winning in the casino and spending the money towatch someone else dig in the hot sun is even greater.
avoid caramel and licorice.

Well after then beating we took last night at the casino I might have to find someone else who needs footers and get paid to dig theirs.
Quote: GWAEAhhh F... today is going to be 91 with a dew point of 72. Must finish last 2 holes.. I will just keep telling myself that as I die.
WTF's a "dew point" ?
Quote: RSWTF's a "dew point" ?
RS I am going to start a charging you for all these new words.
When a dew point is above 70 if is really really humid. News would call it oppressive. Today was absolutely miserable. My dad showed up unnanounced to help which was nice but I felt bad because it was nasty out. We ended up finishing all the holes, poured the Footers and set 2 posts and a beam. Only 4 more Posts and 2 more beams but the Footers are done.
RS you heard of fog right? If the temp was 67 and dew point was 72 like today then we would have fog. The further away the temp the heavier the fog.
Quote: mcallister3200when it does that "fog" stuff overnight will there be "dews" on the grass in the morning?
Lol yes. Morning dew sucks. If you leave anything outside that is paper like or a cardboard box it will be soaked like it rained.
Quote: HunterhillIf it's really cloudy at night there won't be much dew,It's the clear nights you have to watch out for.
People would also be confused that a clear day means a colder night. At least in fall and winter. A cloudy day means cooler day but warmer night.
I left myself outside for a while, on some midsummer visits to places that are more like there than here, with that pointy-dew-thingy going on, and I turned into cardboard & paper. Just being outside, mostly in the evening, not doing anything much more frisky than sitting, constantly guzzling water, and making a puddle at my feet from all the sweat pouring off that couldn't dry. Sometimes felt like it might be getting close to a real problem where somebody carries me away and I wake up with tubes stuck in me.Quote: GWAE...If you leave anything outside that is paper like or a cardboard box it will be soaked like it rained.
It felt pleasantly refreshing getting home to 105+ degrees but nowhere near any of that suffocating dewy type stuff happening to turn the air into syrup. It really did. Still does.

That was the issue with today. I was sweating so much that when I bet over to lift dirt it looked like someone poured a bucket of water over my head. I changed shirts 3 times and each time my shirt looked like I pulled it from the rinse cycle of the washing machine. When the air is thus saturated already, there is no way for the sweat to evaporate.

Dew point can't be higher than air temperature. Can be the same. Usually that means it's raining or very foggy. Depends on the amount by percentage of water vapor in the air.
The lowest line of clouds you see is usually where the dew point ,and temperature match. Air is generally colder by 2 degrees C per 1000 ft of altitude. Fog is just a cloud on the ground.

What? You like Imo's and hate mountain dew? Dislike Kentry? Man, we can't agree on anything.....I did like one of your recent surveillance article though
The blue Mountain Dew is awesome. The red is pretty good too. But hands down, baja blast is the Shiite. It's better than Vanilla Coke, if you can believe that.

I think more people die shoveling snow. Not sure how many die digging a grave, er post hole.

Mountain dew code red is great. Would still rather have a pepsi.
Still working outside. I am glad to say that all 9 holes, footers, and posts are installed. The 4 beams are in places. I even weeded the area under the deck since it won't be accessible when I am done
Also layed 2ftx2ft patio stones under it to help combat weeds. Sprayed a ton of weed killer.
Today's weather report. 88 and few point at 60. Much better working temps. I was of course pouring sweat but my shirt basically stayed dry.
Smart move. Given the opportunity, I would have recommended that you also place a medium/heavy plastic sheet under the patio stones. Weeds love to come up through the cracks, almost no matter how narrow they are, and eventually you will likely need to spray under there again to keep them from winding their way up through the deck.Quote: GWAEI even weeded the area under the deck since it won't be accessible when I am done

Mountain Dew comes in different flavors and colors? I thought that was only when one took certain substances with it.
So it seems if you take a header in the casino you wind up trying to do footers for others.
Footers? Turn over about one inch of fresh soil. Ask the neighbor if he happened to see where in your yard you buried your stash of gold. Sit back and wait.
I went thirsty.

My wife suggested that as well. I may still do that.

less drinking.
Much less drugs.
Much more isolation thru internet rather than in-person contact.
Also, NYC is expensive to live, let alone date. Tough sell.
Imo, anyway .
Quote: AxelWolfDont kids like digging holes and stuff? What a wast of perfectly good child labor.
That is kinda funny. They both came out and wanted to dig. I thought perfect, So I broke up a bunch of dirt in the hole and let them go in to pull it out. After literally 5 minutes they both stopped and said they needed water and it was time for a break. WTF. When it was time to fill in the holes I figured they would love to do that. Again they used a shovel for about 6 minutes and said it was too hard. However, what they did love doing was throwing rocks into the grass so I could run them over with the lawn mower.

If I were to live in NYC and wanted to go on a date; she would have to agree to either meet me in NJ or go to Mcdonalds. I would probably be one of the ones not having sex in NYC ;-)
