Lion.    Those sausages look real tasty.

 

The other day I made some sausage rolls.

I put a layer of chutney on some pastry  that was around 6 inches long- 3 inches wide.

I removed the skin off the sausages  and laid it on the chutney.

Fold over the pastry into a roll

Cut the roll into three  sausage rolls

Do that three times.  Put the rolls on a baking tray.   With a pastry brush, coat with a little milk  to brown.

In the oven 180 degrees for 25 minutes or so.

 

Once cooled  ----    Gone in 60 seconds.  Laugh

 

Then get requests from the family to make some more.  Yeah

That's about the best I got for humor this morning and it's rather lame.

 

I miss our friend the Bear and his Beartoons. 

I don't know but I tend to notice things, whether they have any relevance or not is another story.  I do know a rather fun and enjoyable thread of his, "Where's Waldo" just disappeared one day and I haven't seen the Bear since then. Didn't really see any reason for his thread to be deleted as it was rather funny and had plenty of train pictures.  If it was my thread I would have found the disappearance rather irritating.

When all said and done the missing thread was just a thread but the Bear is THE BEAR!  Hopefully he returns as he is definitely missed around here.

Good morning, Diners.   A late tea and toast for me today, Chloe.

Jobs around the house to do,  then bake a pie for dinner.

I'd have to say it was just as interesting to watch the second time around Yes

 

I recall posting a barn raising a while back. Yesterday was the first I've come across this particular video. I try not to recycle vids.

Hi Ed, neat video.

I would say go ahead and re-post a pic or video after some time passes if it's a good one.  Perhaps not exactly the same but I always enjoy seeing one of my favorite classic cars again while they're cruising around town in the summertime.  I have talked to the owners of them more than once as well.

 

My best friends in high school were the brothers Lance and Brent.  They lived two Resorts down and one Bay over from ours.  Their family was from a Mennonite Community in Michigan before they moved to the wilderness.  I hadn't moved there yet but heard about it later that their lodge had burned down.

Brent told me how fascinating it was when friends and family came up from Michigan and each member had their part.  The new Lodge was erected in a very short time.  Lance told me how fascinating it was having his part and how smoothly it went.

Half the first floor was pinball, arcade games, pool and foosball where we used to hang out.

Where the idea of bacon-wrapped filet mignon came from?

Not a single mud flap to be seen — and is that really an old 55 gallon drum strapped to the frame of Bilderback's tractor? Imagine backing with those little 5" round mirrors, probably vibrating like crazy!

Those were the days allright...

My friend Tom painted these small aircraft models for a wargame we have been playing on Friday nights.

I am not sure of the scale, but these planes are only about the size of a nickel. I did not have a tripod or proper lighting, so this is the best I could do for pictures.

-Photograph by Kevin Parson

He even painted "invasion stripes" on some of them

I was simply amazed at the camoflage on this FW-190.

This exhibition of painting skill is incredible to me. Check out the panel lines on the green P-38. My jaw dropped.

I have heard that Canal Street in New York City actually used to be a canal.

 

Used to be... Heck the water is still there!  Not as bad as at Nostrand Avenue.

Wall Street got it's name for when Farmers would herd stock to market.

I have heard that Canal Street in New York City actually used to be a canal.

I heard the same thing about Canal Street in New Orleans.

Given this trend, Fort Myers should rename Winkler Road to Canal Street.

Wall Street got it's name for when Farmers would herd stock to market.  The livestock became a bit of a neuscence going all over the place, so walls were put into place to prevent said livestock from going all over the place.

I find that bit of history to be hugely fascinating! I can just imagine the turmoil caused by having hundreds of cattle paraded through the streets of New York on a regular basis. My how times have changed! Or have they? Now it's all yellow taxis. Fortunately they don't seem to need board walls to contain them!

Dave

Edit:

Oh boy, oh boy! I have the top of the page! How about I share our dinner with you? I made pork tenderloin stuffed with dried cranberries, panko bread crumbs soaked in cream, spicey red pepper jelly, grape jelly, a tiny bit of Chinese five spice and salt and pepper. It was tender and sweet, but not too sweet, and there was just enough heat to make it very tasty. We served it with roasted zucchini slices covered in bread crumbs and crumbled regiano parmegano cheese with garlic, and a Boston lettuce salad with avocado chunks and Greek dressing. It was as good as it sounds!

I guess if the livestock is going all over the place we should look where we are stepping.

Dave, Your old stock cars look great.

Thanks Kevin!

Eventually I want to put some cattle in them. I hope I can get the doors off without doing too much damage. I think trying to take the shells off of the frames would be too risky.

All the meat we had growing up was old chickens, too old for laying eggs.

There was a place near Waldo, Florida that sold old laying hens. My dad grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, and he preferred old laying hens for roasting. I still remember those old giant hens roasting in the oven. They were almost as large as a turkey.

Hmmmmm....  Hey Lion, that looks to me like a Jersey.  (black nose and white around the mouth.)  That is a dairy cow.  Meat tends to be tougher and stronger flavored than the beef breeds, but still to my liking as I was raised on a Guernsey farm.  All the meat we had growing up was old chickens (too old for laying eggs, but made a fine fricassee), and old cows that were at the end of their usefull lives.  We ate it though (better than no meat at all).

My Showmanship cow, named Chicky, for some reason couldn't carry a calf when she turned about 8.  Dad had her bred month after month, but.......  He milked her for as long as she gave any, but finally had her sent to market.  She was a cow that was perfectly trained as a show animal and I could go out to the pasture and call her name.  She would imediately look my way and trot over to me.  Then would wrap her head and neck around my torso and give me a hug.  I cried when I had to lead her into the truck to have her slaughtered.  Cried again the first time I took one of the steaks that came from her (we kept half of her to feed us), and grilled it for supper.  She was tasty though and I got over it.  Such was life on a poor dairy farm back when I was a kid!

Oh, glad we have finally left that place where we were.  I can now come out of hiding.  Way too dangerous down there for people like me....  I do have some relatives (teachers) in the state who have kept me up on some of the STUFF going on.

I am now back.  (Not that it makes that much difference I guess). Smile, Wink & Grin

No. We are visiting STOCK YARDS,

and NYC *still* operaters stock yards.

 

HERE is one critter that got away...

 

Once on the loose, they cannot go back to the slaughter house. Instead a dude from New Jersey comes to collect em. I guess that makes him a jersey cow.

Regarding My Photographs:

In a recent effort to clean up everything online, I deleted almost all of my images on Imgur, and re-assigned the originals in my computer files.

As a result... I have lost all track of which photos I have previously shared, and which ones I have not.

If I begin to seem redundant in Show Me Something and Weekend Photo Fun, that is not intentional. I have thousands of photographs, and my memory is not perfect.

No need to worry about that Kevin.  We all repeat posting pictures especially some of the ones we are proud of for our accomplishments.  I have seen I'm not the only one guilty of that.

The same subjects repeat here as well but sometimes you might learn something you didn't learn about that subject the last time.  And besides all that maybe a lurker or someone else didn't see the picture you posted before anyway.

New York City even built secret cow tunnels to get the beasts from the train yard down to the meat district.

The High Line also went from the yards at 33rd street down to the meat district. It even passed through buildings in order to negotiate the turns necessary in the route.

 

Below is the new West Side Yard operated by the LIRR to store equipment between runs. (New Jersey Transit stores there equipment on Long Island--Go Figgure). The loop in the foregrownd is where the Old New York Central (Remember them) came down across the swing bridge at Spuyten Diuval and had their yard in this area. It lead out to the old 'high line". AMTK now uses that ling to bring trains into NYP from upstate NY.

 

 

Everyone is in Chicago while you're still fiddling around in New York Lion.

So far this semester you have been absent from the Diner Community Field Trip 9 times.
