    Dragnlaw in Germany

    Dragn, you've mentioned living in Germany several times. I'm curious. If you don't mind me asking, what took you to Germany? How old were you? How long were you there? What did you do there? I'm fascinated by the idea of living in another country for a period of time.

    I saw this on Twitter - it's a real proposal. I can only see part of the article because of course I don't have a subscription. Thought it was pretty funny, though.

    Desperation food vs. delicacies

    This was shared in another food group I belong to. Thought it was funny and telling [emoji16] It reminds me of James Michener's book "Poland," which describes a feast day where whole animals were slaughtered and who got what parts. The lord and his family and guests got the best cuts, like the...

    Hi, and welcome to the forum [emoji2] You've been very busy posting your delicious-sounding recipes and I have a question for you. I've heard that some Jamaican food is smoked with bay laurel wood. Is that right? I've seen you mention pimento wood. Are they the same thing with different names...

    Hi, all. For several years, DH and I have been making a delicious dish of smoked chuck roast with onions, peppers and garlic and a barbecue sauce made with stout beer.

    Concerns about the coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic

    I don't think anyone's expecting a possible water outage due to a disease epidemic. I don't understand TP in particular, either (the tissue replacement is interesting - hadn't thought of that), but this is going to get much worse before it gets better. It's smart to have at least a few weeks...
