Anything Goes / Re: Dream Interpretation

I wonder how any of those would fare at the annual Chugwater Chili Cookoff?  Who knows? They might do well because they're different! 

Well, the green chili might do quite well, which I know having had to google Chugwater Chili Cookoff just now and seeing this on the home page. In fact, looks like they have a whole separate prize for green chili vs. red.





I've always preferred green chili. I've even asked tomato sellers at farmers' markets if they have any green tomatoes.

AFAIK, the only food where you can actually cut away the mold and eat the rest is cheese. You have to cut about 2 cm around the mold, then the rest is fine to eat.

That's what I would have thought. I've done it with cheese, but even then if the mold is too black or large I just throw the whole cheese out.

I think the addition would be a good contribution to the chili!

Thanks, FRiend! I trust your judgement!

I guess I'm somehow a month behind now. I don't think I'll catch up unless I skip some issues altogether.

So, I read that article too. It was strangely riveting. Shouldn't somebody tell that guy to leave well enough alone? After all, he got off scot free after shooting her at close range.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder--just like that guy in the White House.

What's with all the diabolical women stories nowadays? There's a new telling of the East of Eden Steinbeck novel on Netflix. I watched a bit of it but can't take any more. I'm now on to the Chinese The Pursuit of Jade which is more to my liking.
