IM INA HOSPITAL

Oh ****!


oooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Thers been a hold up with the wood for your coffin farmdude. I have to cut the tree get it milled and season the wood, It could take a year or two.

Hang in there for a while longer could ya please.

Sorry to hold things up.

Sorry to hear about the readmitting.. Hang in there, F-Man!

Remember... the world needs a strong and healthy Eeeeeeffffmaaaaann to fly across the sky. Umm. Or something.

Get better, anyway!

Well........? What's going on?

Well. looks like Ill be kept overnight and go home tomorrow. My medical insurance will bleed me to death by a thousand cuts. I have a co-pay for the first three days of each stay and this is separate from my last one , no matter who I threaten or take prisoner at gunpoint.

Seems the electrolyte imbalances are multiple, technically involving magnesium as well as potassium. Interesting genetic mix Ive inherited , apparently common among a group of Eastern Europeans who metabolize these alkalis differently. Apparently a diet high in cabbage is in my genomeic barcode. Oh well, at least I aint Irish.

Hey! I resemble that remark! Enjoy yer cabbage!

If you were, you could get ahold of lots of corned beef with that cabbage.

Yeah, and eat colcannon, or whatever it's called.

I'm impressed by how well they're looking at the whole thing.

Hang in there dude. And do what they tell ya.

A bunch of cossacks are galloping toward your home at high speed to clear up this outrageous misconception. You're going to be quite sorry, patiodog!










Good to hear from you farmer.
Sorry you have to stay overnight. Bet you are, too!

I'm not sure what the implications of this:

Seems the electrolyte imbalances are multiple, technically involving magnesium as well as potassium means.

You need a salt lick. Causmag would probably suit.

cowdoc might know a better one

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK

A 600 year old recipe, still served in Pubs in England.

Crumble 1 1/2 cups cold sausage, re-fry while cooking 2 1/2 pounds cabbage, about 5 minutes, in rapidly boiling water. Take out cabbage and chop until you have equal amount with sausage.

Also make white sauce, with about 2 cups milk, 4 tablespoons flour, season with salt, pepper, 1 or 2 drops of Tabasco, dash only of garlic powder. Mix all together, put in 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Cover with homemade or French bread crumbs, bake at 250 degrees until the sausage bubbles and squeaks up through the crumbs. A one-dish meal

I'm fond of potato, sausage, and cabbage soup myself, but I make it mighty spicy, with hot ital sausage plus whatever chili peppers are on hand..
oh, well, never made the same way twice.

For a bit o'the irish colcannon, HERE

Y'know, that Cossack looks a bit like JoefromChicago...

colcannon

One way to get me to improve would be to threaten me with eating colcannon. We ate in two Fridays out of four during Lent. The other Fridays were celebrations of Cod Fish Cakes.

Joe(What to give up for Lent? How about eating?)Nation

Joe Nation, we have a long lost connection here.

Cod Fish Cakes - I remember them semi-fondly. I'd probably like quenelles better.... I've only tried those once, loved them. That was a french restaurant though.

I seem to remember my mother used canned codfish for the fishcakes, but not sure.
Anyway, they sure beat salmon loaf, which I found near inedible, yaaack, not to mention I also had to eat my boiled carrots and drink that whole glass of gaggy milk.

Then there was canned tuna with carrots and peas. Don't get me going.

I was really happy when Fish Sticks came on the market...

I'm older than you guys, but not but all so much....

Easter & the endless fasting & misery was even more fun, Joe!

Hey, colcannon aint that bad! Good hearty peasant food!

So, farmer, have we made you nauseous yet?

I'm gonna make colcannon someday, but you betcha I add bacon or pancetta, plus at least some roasted onions. That'll mess it up.










Tosses some chili flakes in, what the hell....
