While scores are great for studies and actuarial tables, they provide no comfort when you are the outlier. Gman

Are you speaking of idiot Dan Patrick? If so, I elect him to be on the frontline first. Gman

And speaking of On The Rocks and Peter Hollens And On The Rocks Without Peter Hollens Gman

I really like the guy who plays Simba in this -WOOF!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNy6IC85iuA I also like this a capella version. The main singer here is Peter Hollens. He was the lead singer of the University of Oregon a capella group who competed on the second season of the Sing Off. Gman

@gaothanear-just an, I hope, inoffensive suggestion. Most of us when looking for information will title the thread something like "Any 411 On The Name Of The Escort." Then we'll put the link in the body of the message. If the link is copy and pasted correctly, it will be active and can be clicked right from the body of the message. Using the link as part of the thread title, means you can't click on it. It's not like it's difficult to copy that portion of your thread title. But it's one less step if there's an active link present. Happy Hiring. Gman

As I recall North Avondale was not always a particularly safe neighborhood -not as bad as Over-the-Rhine, of course. I hope you weren't thinking of meeting him there. Gman

HEY, HEY!! It made at least one part of me ? extremely happy. Hmm, maybe you're right on where I should've posted it, @EVdude. ? Gman

Just found this yesterday. I dedicate this to all the Boy Band Lovers out there in Message Center Land. Gman

Fortuitously, "Feel your way" works in either case!!?? Gman

Well I didn't start this quite in time. I'm going to be late for work. So might as well share the finished product now. Taaaa Daaaaa!! Photo courtesy of G. Man Food Stylist: G. Man Gman

Uh oh- I meant "Making A Meat Loaf". Please get your minds out of the gutter -if they were that is. ?? So I've been saying I was going to do it forever. And I finally did. It's in the oven cooking now. Here's the recipe in case anyone is interested. I got it from my Mom. **** Ingredients: COOK 75 MINUTES @ 350 F 2 pounds ground beef 2 eggs beaten 2 cups soft bread crumbs 1/4th cup minced onion 1 Tablespoon Horseradish 2 tsp Salt 1/4th cup milk 1/4th cup ketchup 1/2 tsp dry mustard 2 to 4 slices bacon to top Directions: 1. Add eggs to meat and blend lightly. 2. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. 3. Shape into oval. 4. Spread ketchup on top. 5. Put 2 to 4 bacon slices on top over ketchup. 6. Place in shallow pan. 7. Cook 75 minutes at 350 F Variation-- Cook in ring mold. Fill center with mashed potatoes when serving. **** Mom never made the mashed potatoes variation. And I don't think she ever put in horseradish. I had to make two substitutions when I was concocting this. 1. I couldn't find my dry mustard. I think I have some. But I was in too much of a hurry because I have to get to what I laughingly call my job. So looking up a substitute, I find that you can use 1 tablespoon of Dijon Mustard for 1 tsp of dry. My Dijon was old-but still probably good. But to be safe I used some new Spicy Brown Mustard I had just bought. I went ahead and used a whole tablespoon instead of the 1/2 tablespoon the conversion called for. 2. I discovered my bread crumbs were actually rice. By mistake I had picked up gluten free crumbs. ? I don't know about y'all. But I hate the feel of mixing ground beef together. It gets under my fingernails-ugh. So I wore my "protect-me-from Covid-19" blue gloves while mixing the meat. I don't know why I never used gloves years ago which is the last time I made a meatloaf. Here's a picture of the loaf in the raw. I'm running late. So I'll share the finished product late this evening. But I have to tell you that the house is smelling incredible right now. Gman PS: The internal temperature of the loaf should be 160 degree Fahrenheit. That's 71.1 C for @mike carey and the rest of you outside the good old US of A. PPS: The original recipe called for adding something like 1/2 pound of ground pork to 1-1/2 pounds ground beef. But Mom never used pork. PPPS: I used dried minced onions from a bottle rather than cutting up some onions due to time constraints. I probably should have moistened them and allowed them to expand. But I didn't. I just measured out 1/4 of a cup of the dry minced onions and mixed it in. I don't think it will hurt anything. Affectionately to all my fellow cooks, I remain your .... Gman

A few things about this. 1. Sigh I wish I had rhythm. I thought great rhythm was supposed to be a perk of being gay. 2. I've never figured out what Travolta is saying before the 1st "You're the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh. " 3. For some reason these Twitter media posts won't play for me in the Message Center Box. I end up having to follow the link to Twitter to see them. Am I alone in this? Gman

I thought the last guy listed was cute. I guess I'm too strait-laced. But why does a straight guy looking to meet women have to state that they are a top? I mean I would think that's the default. Now if the guy was wanting to be pegged by a dildo -that's what I think should be made note of. Gman

In case anyone is still interested in my bread saga, I toasted a few pieces this morning. They were pretty dang tasty!!! I'm going to make some more bread tomorrow. I'm thinking of adding some grated Parmesan to the dough. Gman

I was watching the first episode of NCIS. There was an actor well-known at the time for doing impersonations of George Bush. Here is Steve Bridges and "guest" at the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4N93jLVPIA Gman

Just found this article. Hope it helps. http://mimisatticithaca.com/new-life-for-cast-iron-cornstick-pans/ Gman

I know corn sticks because they used to serve them at Furr's Cafeterias and maybe Luby's and Wyatt's too. They were never corn shaped. I would have been fine to find a corn stick pan that didn't look like corn. But I didn't see one. I haven't used mine yet -but I'm wondering whether these suggestions might help 1. Overly grease the molds-maybe solid shortening or lard is needed. 2. You could try molding foil or parchment into the molds. But I guess that would defeat the purpose of having the hot metal almost 'carmelize' the outside of the sticks. Plus there's always the worry with foil of ingestion of aluminum which is probably not good for you. (They used to give renal patients an aluminum antacid to bind phosphorus (which collects in patients in renal failure) until they figured out the patients were developing aluminum toxicity on it.). 3. Would a stiff scrub brush help? Also my Mom swears by soaking hard to clean pots and pans in hot water followed by scrubbing with kosher salt if needed. Of course it would have to be reseasoned after that. Gman

Thanks. The article I read said between 100 and 115. But maybe my yeast likes it more balmy as you suggest. Gman
