Steve developed that too, same discs. He had fusion surgery in April of 2013; it's not a picnic, didn't totally resolve the issue but he's
doing a lot better than he would have been had he not had the surgery.
He probably would have been quite crippled up by it; the last couple of months before the surgery were bad. When he went in to see the ortho doctor, he (doctor) wanted to do it the following week but since it
wasn't a VA hospital, he (Steve) had to get prior approval from
Tricare. IIRC, he had his surgery about a month after the initial
doctor's appointment.

The important thisg is that he got the surgery. My poor sister nwas past
the "window of opportunity" when the surgery was developed - so she has
to live with the deteriorating spinal column - unlike her girls their
girls.

Looks good, we'll be getting home at the end of blueberry season in NC
but I should be able to still get some local ones. May try this but
also want to replenish our supply of blueberry jam. I will also do
peach jam/butter this year, not sure what we'll do with the fig crop as
we still have a good supply of fig preserves.

Blueberries are OK. But I prefer the low-bush berries like black berries and razzleberriesd (raspberries). Probasblybecause that's what I grew up with.

According to my niece, Jennifor, you might want to re-assess the knife option. It has kept her from becoming a cripple.

That's entirely up to the VA but I gotta lose 40 pounds first.

It goes on a whole lot easier than it comes off.

I was diagnosed with catracts in both eyes Wednesday. My retina specialist recommended surgery but he did say that they (the VA) may
just give me a new pair of glasses instead since the cataracts are very small. Thankfully, the diabetes in my eyes is doing better than the
rest of me...

I've had one cataract "fixed". According to the opthamologist the other
is too small to fu...ss with.

As "snooty" as he used to try to be, I miss the scutter.

I remember when he left the echo, he sent me an email crying about how Fido was outdated and he is on some mailing list now.

I reminded him that email predated Fido by 14 years. Never heard from
him again.

He and MLoo hated being called out when they were wrong. But, Loo had other saving graces. I do miss his presence. And his cooking chops.

Title: Moose Cheek Tacos
Categories: Game, Chilies, Breads, Herbs, Citrus
Yield: 10 Servings

2 1/2 lb Moose cheeks
4 cl Garlic
1 tb Natural peanut butter
1 Ancho chile; stemmed, seeded
1 ts Instant espresso
2 tb Olive oil; + 2 tb more for
- cooking
1 tb Honey
2 ts Ground cumin
1 ts Smoked sweet paprika
1 Handful fresh cilantro
1 ts Salt
1 c Broth; beef or chicken
3 Limes
1 Avocado
Corn tortillas
Fresh cilantro

Clean and trim the cheeks. Put them in a container to
marinate them.

Remove the stem and seeds from the ancho, cut it up into
chunks and rehydrate in a little water (stick it in a
ramekin and microwave for 30 seconds)

Peel and chop the garlic. Put everything from the garlic
to the salt in the food processor (including the water
from the chile) and blend into a paste. Toss the paste
with the cheeks and marinate for several hours or better
yet overnight.

When it is time to cook, heat the oven to 275ºF/135ºC,
and heat 2 tbs olive oil in a dutch oven. Brown the
cheeks on both sides. Use the broth to rinse the rest
of the marinade into the dutch oven, then squeeze the
juice of 3 limes in.

Bake at 275ºF/135ºC for 3 1/2 hours - turn the cheeks
over once or twice while they cook and if the liquid
dries up add a bit more broth

When the cheeks are fall-apart tender, take the pan out
of the oven. Using 2 forks, pull the meat apart in the
pan so that it mixes in with all of that fatty juicy
goodness.

To serve - heat 2 tortillas (you might like to double
wrap the taco as they are juicy). Fill with cheek meat,
a slice of avocado, some pickled onions and fresh
cilantro.

Serve and enjoy!!!

She was a "social worker" and attending my local branch of the
University of Illinois to complete her Master's in Social Work when
they dropped the bomb.

Did she finish the Master's or just let it drop? My mom was told she
had 5 years to get her Master's in Library Science, then the state said "you can't do it; you have a husband and 5 kids to take care of". She proved them wrong, pulling down A's and B's in all her course work.

She 86ed the Masters. The three weekly trips between the campus and home
(50 miles each way) would havehad he choosing between gas for the car and
food for the tummy.

While travelling, we saw some place advertising chicken rings. Couldn't stop to investigate, figure it must have been chopped and formed
chicken.

I do believe you are correct. To wit:

Title: White Castle Chicken Rings
Categories: Poultry, Breads, Snacks
Yield: 4 servings

Now that we are out of the OH/IL/IN (White Castle) territory, I'll probably not think about chicken rings again. It was unusual enough
that Steve commented on it, something he usually doesn't do about fast food.

I'm sure that White Castle isn't the only place doing them. I'd almost
bet the Jack-In-The-Box would be guilty of them as well. And Tyson has
them available in the freezers at you local stupormarkup.

Ground chicken is very versatile ......

Title: Red Hatch Chile Chicken Burgerus Maximus
Categories: Poultry, Chilies, Herbs, Breads
Yield: 4 Servings

1 lb Ground chicken thighs
1/4 c Fine diced red bell pepper
1/4 c Rough chopped cilantro
3 tb Dried bread crumbs; fine
1 ts Melissa's HOT hatch chile
- powder
1 ts Melissa's MILD hatch chile
- powder
2 tb Tangerine Hatch Chile Not
- Ketchup
1 ts Ground cumin

To make the burgers, combine all ingredients - ground
chicken through green onion, in a medium bowl, mixing
until evenly distributed.

Line a small sheet pan or plate with parchment paper and
set aside.

Divide meat mixture into 4 equal parts and form into a
patties. Freeze for 5-7 minutes to firm up the patties.
This is key to getting them on the grill without falling
apart. The meat mixture can be stretched to serve 6,
just make thinner patties.

Brush the patties with olive oil and place oil side down
on the grates. Brush the top with more olive oil. Grill
over high heat for 4-5 minutes on the first side, 2-3 on
the second side. Patties should register at least 165F.

Serve on hamburger buns with toppings of your choice.
