 CS> Tell him to checkout Charlotte's latest detention reasons <g>.


RH> It didn't make this packet, maybe one of the echos he follows?  I

It's one he follows.  Linux echo <g>.

RH> did at about the same age.  He deliberately got detention just to see
RH> he could talk in the detention time.  I don't remember the results of
RH> his little "experiment" other than that his parents were less than hap
RH> with him for trying it.

Well Charlotte gets detention pretty regular here, sorry to say.  She normally
does it for unique reasons though.  You get these little mystified eyeballs
going 'she did WHAT?' and 'what the heck do we do about THAT one?'.

Like, she hooked up WiFi for the base housing off the school lan.  She
practiced installs of debian by installing it over the school backup server.
She emailed everyone at the school the hack codes for a popular DS2 game (hey,
they had an open relay!).  She read computer books in geography class (intense
sysop level admin stuff) then used english class to email all her geography
classmates the GPS searchable map coodinates of Egypt so they didnt have to
use the book the teacher was making them learn how to use....

She's hotwired an orgami made structure that is a sat-dish covered in foil, to
bleed off a feed to the downstairs neighbor kid's MP3 music but that one hasnt
lead to detention.

When the school emails me, they ask why she isnt wearing a bra and if we need
financial assistance or a few loaners.  The boys are following her around with
their tounges hanging out because she's gonna obviously be a busty sort and
has bigger breasts now than adult Japanese mostly have.  (She has plenty of
Bras but doesnt *like* wearing them.  School pressure has me force the issue a
little with her now).

Ah, 13YO's can be so much *fun*! It's not that she's blazingly intelligent,
it's that she's always finding something new to try that I didnt even think to
mention to her. I still cant get over the base housing WiFi...  Folks are
complaining now to the base that it stopped working <snicker>.


 CS> Oh, a new one I hadnt posted before.  For a truely deep broth off the
 CS> stove top, roast the neck bones for 15 mins at 450 then put a whole
 CS> unpeeled onion in and use 14 cups water and cook on the stove top.
 CS> This one works well though for a crockpot as it is with the bones
 CS> still frozen.


RH> Looks good and will give a nice broth.  I've been doing more stove top
RH> broth making recently; have to concentrate some beef broth later today

Yes, I used the basics of crockery that time but knew the roasting of the bones
(mostly meatfree if you do that) would make the trick.   I think it was Ian
that explained that part well to me first.  Might have been Jim Weller though?

I dont use that trick with poultry bones but with beef or pork, it seems
'right' and works quite well when I take the time to do it.


 CS>       Title: Xxcarol's Porky Beans
 CS>  Categories: Xxcarol, Crockpot, Beans, Pork
 CS>       Yield: 14 Servings

 CS>       2 lb Meaty pork neck bones
 CS>      16 oz Dry black eyed peas
 CS>      20 ea Cloves peeled whole garlic
 CS>     1/2 tb Korean red chile pepper
 CS>       1 ts Salt
 CS>      10 c  Water

RH> This looks a lot better than so many "pork & bean" recipes that list a
RH> can or 2 of pork & beans in the ingredients string.  Basically, IMO,
RH> those are just doctored canned beans; I like to start with the dry
RH> ones and cook them.

I had to give up the canned 'pork and beans' so long ago, I barely recall them
except I see them at the ship now and again as part of our communal 'fodder'.
My sugar needs just didnt make room for such.

If you want something that 'tastes really sugary-sweet but isnt' look at some
of my ones that add large amounts of green (or other color) bell peppers. The
bells dont taste 'sweet' all that much but somehow the magic happens as they
combine to make an almost 'molasis bean bake' sort of thing.  I do not know
why.  I just know it works.

My 'Boston baked beans' hasnt been MM'ed as it's too close to one i have in MM
already. It uses NO sugar added at all.  It looks different, but tastes so
sweet I feel like I had a bowl of ice-cream except it's warm.
