a horrible storm that knocked out hydro everywhere

I've been following the news via Google, particularly about the area
around my home town in eastern Ontario (Cobden, in the Whitewater
region of Renfrew county) It was quite possibly the worst (summer)
storm in my lifetime. The only worse weather event would have been
the great ice storm of 1998.

Large Derecho storms with hurricane force winds knocking down
hundreds of trees and tornado watches that far north are unheard of.
I read that one guy there was killed by a falling tree with another
death a couple of towns further away. (Nobody I knew, but still
startling to read.)






Cheers

Jim

What climate change? Maybe we should have stayed in the caves.

Crazy stuff eh? It was a short storm only lasted about an hour, but
man oh man did it hit hard.

I read that one guy there was killed by a falling tree with another
death a couple of towns further away. (Nobody I knew, but still
startling to read.)

For sure. A real mess.

It should be painfully obvious to even the most oblivious of people
by now.

Title: Picca
Categories: Beverages, Alcohol
Yield: 1 Serving

1 1/2 oz Whisky
1/2 oz Galliano
1/2 oz Punt e Mes

Stir in mixing glass with ice & strain. Add orange peel, cherry.
Serve in a cocktail glass.

From: Www.Cocktaildb.Com

Punt e Mes is an Italian vermouth. It is dark brown and somewhat
bitter but can be used as a substitute for sweet rosso (red)
vermouth.

I would use 1/4 oz each white and red as an approximation -JW

MMMMM

Crazy stuff eh? It was a short storm only lasted about an hour, but
man oh man did it hit hard.

The latest news on Monday afternoon: a total of 10 dead between
Durham and Gatineau (Greater Ottawa Area on the Quebec side). Still
over 400,000 homes without power in two provinces after 2 days.

Unprecedented.

On another topic: My Loblaws store is stocked fiddleheads this
year. They grow wild all around me anywhere its wet but these are
flown in from the Maritimes and cost 12/lb! Crazy.

Continuing the theme:

Yes it was crazy. Still no power in teh woods either.

Unprecedented.

For sure!

Laugh! Is anyone crazy enough to buy them? We missed them this year
as we couldn't get to the park in time to harvest.

Yet there is still an over abundance of the oblivious and the "Yeah,
but ......" butt-heads.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Boston Pork Butt Sauce
Categories: Pork, Chilies, Vegetables
Yield: 12 Pints

3 lb Boston butt roast; diced
1/4 ts Garlic; chopped *
1/4 ts Ground comino *
2 tb (ea) Salt & ground pepper
3 md Bell pepper; chopped
8 oz Can jalapenos; chopped
15 oz Can diced tomatoes; w/juice

* MORE! MORE! MORE! -UDD

Put meat, garlic, comino. salt and pepper in a large pot.
Add water just to top of meat. Simmer till meat is tender.
Then add rest of the ingredients simmer till all is warm.
Make flour thickening and add to meat mixture. Put in pint
jars and freeze.

Makes about 12 pints.

NOTES: Great on eggs, chili rellenos, etc.

UDD Note: This is a sort-of Chile Verde. But it would be
improved greatly by the addition/substitution of Anaheim
chilies for flavour for at least half of the jalapenos and
adding a few serranos for heat.
