If Harris does make a major misstep in the next few weeks, I wonder who the powers that be will replace her with so that I can know who to vote for. I...

I researched the persimmon and learned of the purple variety. Were you aware of such things?

I bought some leeks and cut them into small rings and then unraveled them to form strands that reminded me of noodles in a way. I made a stew from the...

I sort of like that song, but I like the Mrs. Brown you have a lovely daughter song better. I wish I were married to a girl named Mrs. Brown so that I...

Some peppers, no matter how long you wait, will never turn red, like green peppers, for example. There are many fruits that start out green and sour a...

The discoloration (i.e. green) is the premature nymphpepper, not yet ready for picking. For those not of the farm, they are often surprised to learn f...

See if you can use your de-whiner app to slow down an Alvin and The Chipmunks song.

An example of biodiversity here in the Box.

I also don't like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band. I like my plant. She is a good friend. Speaking of terrible songs, I post this terrible whine o...

Man's Best Friend Fred jumped on the couch right before I sat down, not because he wanted to steal it, but because he wanted to sit with me.

Totally fine. No worries at all. I guess.

Next time I will pack my own in 3 ounce containers to get through airport security so I don't have to deal with the madness of talking about chocolate...

Thanks. I brushed it with egg to give it the toasted look. I was so beaten down with the undercooked jokes that I had all but given up baking. In the ...

In other news, I tried some Mezcal and it reminded me of Laphroaig. I never had it before. I had hoped it would have mescaline in it so I could experi...

The peas cleverly avoided being cooked like blackbirds in the pie by hiding in the freezer out of my memory. My steadfast rule is to grant a pardon to...

/uploads/resized/files/rq/701tntxstd5ej3dy.jpg Lamb pie with beef, not lamb.

This is true, and I did splurge on a lamb dish one time. It was very expensive back then, and with the kids and wife, we were on a budget, but it was ...

I made me some lamb pies yesterday, substituting beef for lamb because there was no lamb at the store. Lamb is less popular in the US, but a solid sta...

Goes both ways

It doesn't really matter.

Yeah, it's an old set of rules.

By all accounts they both were. Jesus is accepted as being Jewish, which means Mary had to be Jewish. The NT traces Joseph back to David and before, a...

I wonder where this interpretation comes from that suggests that in biblical times that marriage to a single mother automatically created an adoption ...

Father also refers to God, right? As in "heavenly father"? We also say that Jesus' father was God, although I never understood why the NT traces back ...

I'll be the cool nephew and will drive my broken down drunk uncle home when he's stranded and then help roll him to the foyer to sleep it off and neve...

I'm gonna have my kids call me Pope. When I'm on the alter, they'll call me AlterPop. That'll be my band name too. We'll play alternative pop, the sou...

It was more a reductio ad absurdum.

I doubt that. I think the removal of a competitor from the race is about as anti-competitive and anti-democratic as it comes. You won that race in the...

There is nothing criminal in that for sure. And there's nothing criminal in carving out districts that give advantage to one party over the other, to ...

January 6 wax obviously different in that it involved crimes against people and property and the intentions were to upset the results of a fair electi...

Just pointing out a double standard. There's nothing conservative about it. If the Republicans tried to block the Libertarians from the ballot because...

This is a direct attack on democracy, making the removal of ballot bins and the storming of the Capitol look like child's play. They are literally and...

And so it's unethical to tithe at 10% because 99% is expected? But why stop there? I think you're morally compelled to work around the clock, earning ...

This might just be that northern Europe generally is less religious than southern Europe though. The America's outside North America are pretty staunc...

I don't fully follow this. You're saying that nations that became Catholic after the Reformation, as opposed to those who moved to Protestantism at th...

Agree in part, disagree in part. There is wisdom to the statement that the match isn't over until the final whistle, but the current score and situati...

I know, right? It so feels that way to me too. I can like remember every detail so clearly.

Since we're speculating, I'm guessing it had little to do with a disenchantment of all he knew and loved, like a child realizing Santa wasn't real, bu...

Van Gogh was Dutch and he suffered far worse ear trauma than Trump, so it's not just an American thing.

You know how some people can say they remember in vivid detail where they were and what they were doing when they heard JFK got shot? I totally get it...

He survived because he was right out of earshot from the bullet. Get it? "Earshot." A little soon, but didn't want to waste it.
