And, it seems, people don't care as much about cleaning up after themselves as they used to. I remember seeing signs put up by DOT
advising a $50. fine for littering. That would barely faze a lot of
people now' keeping up with inflation rates, maybe a $500. fine would
be more of a deterant. Main problem tho, is catching the litterbug in action.

A decade or two ago the fine for parking in a handicap spot without a
valid permit was $50. Now it is $340. And they do enforce it from time
to time. I can recall that once a police officer was stopping every
person who parked in a handicap spot to show him their permit. Just
having a sticker on the rear view mirror or a HC lisence plate is not
enough. You have to be the person who was issued such decal. Hence
they caught a few people who were using mom's permit.


MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Liver Pate
Categories: Appetizers
Yield: 2 Cups

1 Turkey liver
6 oz Beef liver
8 oz Chicken livers
6 Dried mushrooms; see note
1 Onion; quartered
2 c Water
2 ts Chicken bouillon; granules,
-OR
2 ts Vegeta seasoning
1/4 c Scallions; minced
1/4 c Butter
2 tb Cognac
2 tb Mayonnaise
1 1/2 ts Dijon mustard
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Celery salt
1/4 ts Black pepper; freshly ground
1/8 ts Ground thyme

Combine liver, mushrooms, onion quarters, water, & bouillon or Vegeta
in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10
minutes. Drain and discard all but the liver and the mushrooms.

Place liver and mushrooms in work bowl of food processor. Add green
onion and butter; process for 10 seconds. Scrape down sides of work
bowl; add remaining ingredients and continue processing until smooth.

Oil a 2-cup mold or small bowl. Pack liver mixture into mold. Cover
tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate several hours, or overnight.

Turn pate out of mold and serve with assorted crackers.

Based on a recipe provided by "Pork: The Other White Meat" Edited
and posted to NCE by Dave Sacerdote, 11/2005

Dave's notes: The mushrooms add a richer flavor to the pate; any can
be used, but I particularly like oyster mushrooms in this.

When the pate is first made, and you taste it to check for seasoning
it will seem "sharp" - the onions will be noticeable and the cognac
will still have a raw edge.

After chilling overnight in the mold, however, the flavors will merge
and become much more subtle. This stuff should definitely be made
the day ahead, then unmolded when cold, and allowed to stand to room
temperature before eating.

I used a heart-shaped Polish pottery dish as a mold. I considered
using dehydrated green peppercorns to spell out "I love pate" in
cursive lettering on the top as a garnish, but I'm not sure how my
inspired tackiness would go over with the inlaws, so I'll behave and
just use a light sprinkle of coarsely cracked black pepper instead.

In Illinois the fine is U$250. And the only permit is the blue and white
(for permanent) or red and white (temporary) hanger. or a wheelchair
symbol on the licence plate. Also D.A.V. plates.

I have called the nabs more than once on people violating the intended
use for handicapped spots. Usually after I have mentioned to them that
their placard is not displayed and they give me a bushel of attitude.

And the cops/traffic wardens here don't just write a ticket to the owner
of the licence plates. They issue the ticket to the driver - who usually screams like a wounded eagle and claims discrimination. Which works not
at all since many of the nabs are of the same ethnicity as the violator.

It's hard to catch offenders unless an officer of the law is nearby.
We've seen a lot of offenders. Our Lowe's (hardware) has several spots
for military (active and retired) reserved; one day Steve wanted to use
one but they were all full. He parked nearby, saw a young man going to
his vehicle in one of the spots so asked him what branch of the military
he served in. Young man replied that he hadn't served, took one of those
spots because it was convenient. Same principle, unless someone is there
to monitor, it's an honor system.

figured more likely it was an offender.

Title: Liver Pate
Categories: Appetizers
Yield: 2 Cups

It has been some years since I bought liver, maybe I will again, once I
can do the cooking. Hoping to give up the hand brace next week and also
start flexing the knee (right now, just very minor bending, so I don't
tear the tendon the patella is attached to) more.

Sounds good, we've got a brisket on the smoker right now. Got it on a
good mark down the other day as it was approaching the last day of sale.

Working on it, saw the doctor today. I can now flex it more, working my
way back to a full flex over the next few weeks. Hand is also improving;
I'm not wearing the splint unless in a situation where it's needed for
support. Knee immobiliser for a couple more weeks when out, then I can
go without it if I'm cautious about my footing/surroundings.

Good. At least this is positive! I did something and can't walk or
stand for more then a few minutes. Doctor ran some tests and I'm losing
blood somewhere so on Iron pills and have an ultrasound next week to see
if they can find where the missing blood is going. He wasn't overly
concerned so I won't worry about it yet either.

How did you fix it? I like to put a roast in the crock pot, add onions

tastes yummy.

That doesn't sound good, hopefully the ultrasound will give you some
definative answers. I'm doing a bit more work around the house, trying
not to stress the hand much (right hand, but I'm left handed). But, at
the end of the day, it's hurting--amazing how much you use a hand, even
when trying not to.

Right now it's still too warm to run the oven for an extended time. The

Hi Shawn,

We have had the heat on a few days already.

I suspect ours will go on some time today or tomorrow. We're expecting
wind and rain but not the full force of Hurricane Ian (subject to storm
staying on its present course) over the next few days. Temps have cooled
into the 60s for daytime highs.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I had a CT scan the other day, still trying to figure out why the persistant cough. Results didn't

According to my primary care doctor, no. It started with a case of
bronchitis in late December, 2019 and has flared/receeded quite a bit
since.

So I'm going to take a break from typing for now, let the hand recover
and finish Fido later.

Take care!

I am, but trying to do more around the house. I can load/empty the
dishwasher but Steve still does the meal prep and hand wash dishes.
Today we're going to have some chicken & barley soup that a friend made;
the weather has turned cool enough for soup.

I appreciate my dishwasher. (G) I'm still not cooking meals but offering suggestions, like for the pizza Steve made Friday night. It was loaded
with red bell pepper, onion, mushroom, pepperoni, garlic sausage,
provelone and mozzarellla. It had a thick crust to support everything &
he cut it into 8 pieces. Both of us have been satisfied with one piece
per meal.

Today we're going to have some chicken & barley soup that a friend
made; the weather has turned cool enough for soup.

Nice. We started soup season a few weeks back! It's my favorite part

We'll start it in earnest later this month. It's supposed to get up near
80 on Friday but then cool back to the 60s, occaisional low 70s. Today
was in the upper 50s with off & on drizzle.
