in a scene from 'A Christmas Story' , narration by Jean Shepherd, the family has had the turkey stolen away by the neighbor's dogs.

"The heavenly aroma still hung in the house. But it was gone, all gone! No turkey! No turkey sandwiches! No turkey salad! No turkey gravy! Turkey Hash! Turkey a la King! Or gallons of turkey soup! Gone, ALL GONE! "

Dinner with 4 got canceled so we had a particularly large amount of turkey to deal with, long story I'll skip except to say I always make turkey soup if I shoot a turkey anyway, out of respect, and I had frozen the remains from an earlier bird to boot. Talk about gallons of soup! I canned 6 quarts after 2 attempts for me and the mrs. to whittle it down some, and I still had about a gallon in the fridge.

Yesterday I tried to knock a good quantity of that off, just me this time, and discovered I needed to add quite a bit of water when I heated it up. It's weird, it's like it keeps absorbing the water! I ate 2 huge bowls but after adding the water I could see I barely put a dent in it. Still have about a gallon to go!

_____________


the Asians - the Chinese and others - use rice as a base
to me - that's a great thing

chicken, pork, beef - it all goes great on top of rice

I prefer the white rice - the fried rice is so flavorful it competes with the flavor of the meat

I miss Chinese food. There isn't a take-out place in at least sixty miles that are any good. The closest is about 15 miles away but it is horrible. There is a decent buffet about forty miles from me, but they don't do take-out and I don't trust myself at buffets. I have not found a frozen Chinese entree worth buying twice.

Last night I had new York style chicken over rice. I get it with gyro sauce on the side. You can also get it with hot sauce but I don't I prefer white rice over fried rice also. I put soy sauce on it when I get Chinese

A woman down the road raises chickens and sells the eggs for $3 a dozen. They are brown and small, but they work. I don't eat many eggs, I mostly use them when making eggplant parm. I'll look in Safeway next time I go shopping.

Traditional Chinese food tastes nothing like the takeout places either. I have eaten a lot in Chinatown in both New York and San Francisco and it tastes nothing like my favorite takeout places. I prefer the Americanized Chinese food.

6 weeks ago I made a huge move in my diet and I gave up added salt entirely. And it's not because I have high blood pressure because I do not. I love salt, Himalayan pink salt is all I use, in a hand crank salt grinder and I put it on everything. Sardines in the can are naturally salty and I put salt on sardines. I figure I was eating between 6,000 and 8,000 mg of salt a day when they recommend 2300. I was retaining too much water during the day in my legs and at my age I'm sick of it. So overnight I dropped my salt intake down to 1500 mg a day and oh my God. Much as I love salt I'll never eat it again.

I immediately dumped about 8 lb in water, my legs and calves stopped swelling entirely. I no longer feel bloated and I have a lot more energy. I started reading all the things that excess salt does to you and it's a long list. I never wanted to give salt up because I just loved it so much. But my palate is adjusting and I'm not missing it now. I can even still eat canned ham which is loaded with salt. I cut the ham into quarter inch slices and boil it for 5 minutes then let it sit in the hot water for 5 minutes and transfer it to clear water and the salt is almost totally gone. And I swear it tastes better. Quitting salt has made such a huge difference in my life that I can't believe it, who would have thought.

Like sugar, our bodies did not evolve eating excess amounts of salt. In fact in ancient times salt was so scarce it was often used as currency. It's only in modern times that we eat as much salt and sugar as we want and we are paying the price for it. Especially sugar, too much sugar will literally kill you eventually. But I don't eat sugar anyway and now I don't eat salt other than what's already in the food.

If you haven't yet, the Aaron and Claire youtube channel seems to have a reasonable assortment of approachable recipes that seem to hit the spot for Americanized Chinese food.
(Yes, I know they target a Korean flavor profile instead of Chinese, but this seems to be reasonably close to what I expect for Americanized Chinese takeout.)
May the cards fall in your favor.

I had a 1500 CC Yamaha V-Twin about 15 years ago and it was a great bike but nothing like the Harley. Once you get the big Harley you'll never go back. I have a 2007 Road King it looks like it's brand new. Getting too old to drive it though. Thinking about getting a Harley three wheeler. People used to yell 'rice burner' at me when I had the Yamaha.

"Rice burner" is just another term of endearment for an intelligent person that buys quality and a not a motorcycle made of used washing machine parts.

I have owned two Honda's, a Yamaha, and a Kawasaki. I sold my first bike for $200 and am still kicking myself for it. If I could find another one in good shape I think I would pay $2000 for it today.

1972 Honda CL175

My friend bought a Honda 350 going into our Senior year of high school. A few months later, he bought the brand new Honda 360 and passed the 350 on to another friend. That 350 must have been passed around to a dozen friends over the next few years. It was the perfect starter bike.
About 15 years later, my neighbor's son bought a 350, and I think it was the exact same bike we all had. The pattern was to ride the 350 for a few months and then most would move up to a 650-750. None of my friends rode Harleys, but one of them did graduate to a BSA.
I enjoyed taking long rides in the country, but didn't like riding in traffic. I took my Rabbit when I went to college and never bothered with the bike. It sat in my Moms garage until a friend's younger brother was looking for one.

My first real motorcycle was in 1968 it was a 1965 Honda 305 Super Hawk and I loved that damn thing. Before that I had a Bridgestone motorbike but the Honda was the first motorcycle that I had that true motorcycle love for that nobody who has never owned a motorcycle understands.

Around April of 1976, two months before we graduated high school, my friend John told everyone he was getting a new Honda for graduation.
Graduation day comes, and instead of a new motorcycle, there is a motorized coffee can in the driveway. I'd never seen anything like it. A friend had a Toyota Celica, so it wasn't like Japanese cars were unknown, but the 1976 Honda was the first automobile from Honda available in NY and was certainly laugh-worthy. With four or five teenagers piled into it, it took about three minutes to get up to highway speed, would get stuck in two inches of snow, and didn't last three years. That generation of Honda's rusted away before your eyes.

We called them 'Honda cars' because if you said you had a Honda everybody thought you meant motorcycle . The cars were pieces of junk they could not get out of their own way. Great gas mileage though. All I ever saw was women driving them never saw a man.

Fairly rare that I cook dinner, but wife was pretty busy with something and requested of one of the few dishes I cook that she will eat ... home-made mac and cheese, cornbread, and cooked greens [not pictured]

pictured are both specialties of mine ... I only know one other person who makes such a big loaf of cornbread, I think you can get an idea of the size sitting on a normal plate there. Very southern style with no sugar, only some flour, and 'dares to be crumbly '

French toast topped with sweet cinnamon sour cream, fried ham on the side and an omelette made out of the leftover egg french toast. I eat this once a week and look forward to it the other six days. The cinnamon sour cream is so much better than syrup. I'm going to try it with blueberries next time.

Panda Express is a large chain of quick serve Asian cuisine which I like quite a bit
On Saturday I was in the mall and McDonalds is near them
at McD the line waiting to be served was averaging about 3 deep - at Panda the line waiting to be served was averaging about 9 deep
the cost of a meal at Panda is about 60% more than McD

Panda was doing about 5 or 6 times as much business as McD

On a whim, I just checked a food court.
Panda Express wanted about $12 for the 3 entree bigger plate, McDo wanted about $11 for a large QPC meal.
The price difference seems to be about the cost of a beverage.

(There is also a comparably priced falafel & shawarma place on the other side of the food court, but I don't like the herbs they use.)

Gas station sushi.
Fully cooked, ready to eat.

Unsatisfactory texture. The little envelope of pickled ginger was ok.

Have you no fear.

What could possibly be wrong with thawed frozen fully-cooked ready-to-eat sushi from a backroads gas station in South Dakota?

... but I don't intend to try it again. Once was enough, I think.

edit: I also like to live dangerously.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Which part of South Dakota? I have spent a little time in Buffalo Gap south of Rapid City and the Eastern side near Mitchell and Sioux Falls..

I believe that fine retail outlet was in Belle Fourche.
The one across the street has a much more diverse gift shop.

My wife (Don’t faint Wiz, Axel) makes meatballs in a crockpot with meaty red sauce. Ladles it over high fiber Angel hair pasta.
Quite delicious. We considered having vegetables but reconsidered.

I like hitting McD for an appetizer, Panda Express for my main course, then Dunkin Donuts for dessert

My weight and glucose level are both 325 and I take eight prescription drugs each morning

And yet you still have a sense of humor but might need a charisma transplant.

There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.
