In about an hour, I plan to try a new ice cream that I recently got.

I love Tillamook brand ice cream.

It's so rich and creamy.

I will never forgive them for what they did to Bandon Cheese Factory. They bought them out. Phased them out. Closed them down. No more competition. No more free bites. No more tour bus stops. No more see into the factory window and the turning vats. Tillamook effectively killed a small town enterprise into a loss of jobs and pride. I realize that the owners made money…I hope it was worth it to them. I doubt it.

Wow!

Who knew a post about an ice cream brand would be controversial?

It's kinda in vogue to boycott certain companies for their bad behavior, but I don't do that.

I just try to buy excellent stuff at a good price.

You should’ve seen the dirty looks I got when I bought Reich-A-Roni…

Man LB your comments are one of the reasons I love this place. I’m too dumb for all the tekky stuff.

bump. LOL

Hello everyone. Headed to the basement to put together my Skilhunt H02 I took apart 6 months ago.

Just got home, tired, vegging out to “It Came From Outer Space.”

Couldn’t find the extension cord for my solder iron. Couldn’t remember why I took light apart. Another day.

Hoping to watch second episode of Mandalorian, but gotta put the kid to sleep first.

Put on “The English Patient”. He’ll sleep.

I used the ham bone from New Year’s and made a huge pot of bean soup. Turned out great! As usual, my wife won’t eat any. She is always leery of my cooking. Her loss… more for me.

I use ham hock to make sauerkraut soup. My wife won’t touch it either.

Just got back from Dad’s house. Messing with a bunch of HAM radios he bought today. NO good cheese in house tonight. Pepsi and dry roasted peanuts .

Same here, only a bar of Cracker Barrel cheddar. Hadn’t had it in a while, now I recall why. Kind of an eerie aftertaste.

I actually quite like the cobblestone blocks of cheddar that Costco and/or Stop’n’Shop carry. That’s goooooood eatin’.

Tempted to make wino cheesecake. However much cream-cheese you want, fork-mix with ample sugar, keep going ’til it isn’t gritty anymore from undissolved granules.

Does in fact taste just like cheesecake minus the graham-cracker crust. The super-dense non-baked style of cheesecake, that is.

I’m at home watching Supercross. Loving it.

I know it’s Sunday morning now but I’m reading this very nice conversation.

Watching supercross used to be my favorite pastime besides ridin as a kid. I grew up 2 miles from a really motocross track. Miss it a ton. I passed a super cross race on tv a week or two ago and watch3d the last half hour. It was really nice to see it’s still being broadcast!

How about a how to video. Or perhaps a step by step.

Edit- I am thinking there is no wine

Lightbringer · 2021-02-28T17:52:43.000Z

Nah.

Simple enough to just cut half a block of CC (I don’t even bother to let it warm up and soften), throw on sugar, keep mooshing and occasionally tasting (sweetness and test for “grit”).

Done.

well, this is Sunday, but last night was our first Clear Sky night in a while.
the Moon was just past Full and Mars was in a good place.
the local Owls are “dating” so i had background music.
other than Jets, not much Traffic in the sky.
only the odd Meteor or a dim Satellite.
humidity fogged the scope frequently.
binoculars were much better.
tonight might be good, too.

chadvone · 2021-02-28T20:08:22.000Z

Where you located turkeydance. Warmer here but still snow on ground.
