I saw this the other day. 1/2 potatoes and 1/2 apples boiled, once soft, coarsely mash. While the potato/apples are boiling caramelize one large onion with butter. Serve the mashed mixture with the caramelized onions on top. Sounds good, haven't tried it yet.

Just scraping the last of my orange marmalade mango preserves from last year. My straight Lemon and straight Lime marmalade attempts haven't been my favorite, too bitter. I think a mango lemon marmalade might be a winner, it is almost citrus season I'll add it to my list of experiments.

Lead free shot as well as slugs are readily available if lead toxicity is a concern. steel, bismuth, copper. CCI even makes a lead free .22 cartridge. A less than lethal shotgun shell, bean bag, rubber ball, stinger plastic balls at chicken coup range would be devastating for small vermin. If we are just talking about the occasional dispatch of a delinquent racoon on a homestead, I am not sure that lead toxicity would be a significant measurable danger. The studies I have found about lead toxicity and grazing animals most often mention the animals being on the recieving end of pellets piercing the skin. The OP's original question on a model 60 Marlin which is number 2 after the Ruger 10-22 in number of purchases would be a good entry level firearm.

Those poltergeist jabs come out of nowhere. Gaining more flexibility. I would have to say this time around the connection points are a bit more painful.

Nothing like sunshine and fresh air. I am supposed to help out at a local Car Show Saturday that we started a few years ago to benefit the Park and Recreation District. Weather looks to be cooperating so I'll see how that goes.

It's not uncommon to see all feed lines mounted on the interior walls of a Nordic house. If we are just talking sewage lines the entire floor wouldn't have to be raised just a platform for the throne, tub, sink? Some point with a slab foundation there is going to have to be a penetration somewhere, unless you are going through an exterior wall? That might be a nightmare trying to connect all waste lines going to a central collection point. Macerating up-flush toilet?

Same thing with me but with a proton mail account.

Susan, how is your progress?
One of my customers relayed a story where he actually became lucid when they were hammering in his prosthetic during surgery. The new prosthetics are not quite the same.
I am self graduating to using a cane today through the house. At work I use a walker still to carry things with. My Physical Therapist poo-pooed the nurse that told me not to keep my leg elevated while sleeping. She pretty much said as long as you are exercising and moving throughout the day and elevating the leg helps get a good night's sleep it is ok. Starting with 110 degree flexion with the left leg so a little better than the starting 120 degree flexion of the right.

What they gave me was a thigh high compression sock. The wife's not helping, the cat calls add to the embarrassment. It is just me, but not my look. Big quads and calves just don't belong in thigh highs.
