Good morning!!!!

[PILOON]

Well April fooled me.

Thought spring was here but I had to scrape the snow off of my car windows and the lake is all frozen over again.
Making it worst they predict up to 30" over Tuesday/Wed so I topped up the tractor fuel.

Someone talked of horseradish.
I got some when a friend was demolishing a building. The owner had planted some for the foliage which is actually quite nice.

Well I needed an axe to get some root.
Gosh that stuff grows like a weed. Any little tiny bit or chunk I dropped has taken root and the garden is getting overgrown.
Gotta mash some and make horseradish as we do love it. ('nother project)

Jay, congrats on the dog. One of my favorite side dishes is Horseradish Bread and Butter Pickles. :thumbsup:That is only Horseradish in our house.


Good Morning All.

I like dog too, never tried it with horseradish and pickles though. Ed

LS, don’t really have a set schedule for the water, probably should have.
We filter going into the tanks as well as coming in out. From time to
time I’ll remove the caps on the first flush pipes and rinse out, I have three custom filters between first flush and the tanks consisting of nylon mesh filter and panty hose. I’ll replace those every couple of months. The after pump portion I described earlier is more yearly but not always with the complete disinfecting. And we test periodically.

Reads to be nice balance of "heat" and "sour cool" with nice textural components.

I highly suspect that I ate dog at a Chinese restaurant years ago. It definitely was not lamb. Whatever it was it went well with the Sichuan hot pepper sauce.

Ron- Thanks. I like Boar's Head products. I have not yet tried those pickles. After many years of consuming "Kosher Dill" pickles only, I have slowly broadened my tastes to include Bread and butter pickles. Thanks for the link.

Think of myself more of a beer drinker than the hard stuff. About the only time I have one of the watered down American types is when visiting someone else. As for home, I have a 2 tank kegerator tap with local brews, usual a dark and light ale. Unfortunately, part of my weight plan these past couple weeks has been no beer
Living in Europe 6 years not only refined my bier tastes but spoiled our wine as is was so easy and cheap to drink good stuff. When we host our potlucks I always include that we will be serving vintage box wine. Actually it’s what we usually have if having a glass with a meal - usually Chillable Red or White Zin.
Parents vacillated between CC and ginger ale and Bacardi and coke, so that was my later growing years. First wife had a taste for scotch, Dewars preferred, so I’ve my share of that. Sampled a number of bourbons and scotch thru the years but nothing that really stuck. A few years back we started hanging out with an older couple mostly into vodka, usually straight vodka on the rocks. Guess that somewhat stuck as a couple times a week that will be our choice for a single drink.

Box wine

Cardboardeaux.

Have drank plenty of it myself.

Easter Service was great. Church had 3 services with an hour break between each. 1st break was all you can eat breakfast (just ate 1 plate with a small piece of sausage patty). 2nd break was for the kids' easter egg hunt.

Just put a large pressure cooker pot full of fresh green beans and new potatoes on. Once it rattles, it only takes 2.5 minutes of rattling. Cut your potatoes in 3/4" chunks for them to be tender too. I sprinkle some Nature's Seasons on them.

Patiently waiting for time to eat.

PILOON- Sooner or later Spring will reach your parts of Canada.

I made the mistake of planting horseradish in the garden. Major blunder. +30 years later I am still removing shoots there. I gave some to a friend. He did not listen to my planting advise. Which ultimately led to his moving the garden to another location. The horseradish patch became his bonfire site. That kind of works at management.

Seltzer water is an "acquired taste." I like it. It mixes well. I think it really changes the taste of scotch especially the "good stuff."

In the days before I drank any alcoholic drinks, an older friend told me that scotch was an acquired taste; that no one likes it at first. Well, he was wrong. The first time I ever tasted scotch (Johnny Walker Red Label), I knew that scotch would be my preference of the whiskeys.

And seltzer water changes the taste of scotch? It sure did, and one taste was enough for me.:laughing:

I've not had much experience with horseradish EXCEPT . . . I've always liked Arby's original sandwich with their "horsey sauce". I'm also quite fond of shrimp cocktails and a lot of years ago, one night I found that I had shrimp on hand, but no cocktail sauce. So I mixed about 50/50 ketchup and horseradish sauce and I liked it so much that I still do that instead of using genuine cocktail sauce.

With the upcoming surgery on Wednesday, all this talk about liquor has made me think of an alternative plan if they don't give me any pain killers...(you know...there's a prescription pain killer abuse epidemic going on). I ussually don't drink at all except maybe on a special occasion, so even 1 shot will probably help considerably. My plan will be to just sample all the scotch, whiskey, bourbon,vodka, and rum in the closet (most of it is at least 20 years old...hope it's still good):shocked::licking:

I wish you the best of luck for your procedure, and your post-op pain relief plan. When I cleaned out my mother's house after she passed, I found a cabinet full of old bottles up over the refrigerator. Not the best place for 'em, as the heat from the 'fridge caused some of them to spoil, and increased the evaporation rate through the caps of others. In a few cases it outright destroyed the corks, turning them into dust the second they were touched. I think the only survivor was a bottle of Jim Beam I'd left there several years before; none of the really old stuff was good for anything. And some of it was reeeealy old, perhaps twenty years!:confused2:
