Hi John,

->  JG>    What I remember about folks saying went on at the American Legion
->  JG> hall and the Knights of Columbous hall was that generally the only
->  JG> thing the building seemed to be used for was bickering and drinking
->  JG> beer!  An employee at the store I worked at used to stock up on lots

-> Our local American Legion post is a dry one, no bar in it. I don't know
-> if there's a local KofC or not.

 JG>    In Louisiana, a dry American Legion would be one without any
 JG> members! One reason I was glad to leave Louisiana.... Folks just

Ours is probably dry because of the seminary and college here in town. I
suspect the post was started by students of one or the other.


 JG> didn't know
 JG> there was a way of living and breating without being intoxicated!
 JG> When my dad was alive, there was a guy that worked for the phone
 JG> company, who had to stop at the union hall to grab a beer on lunch
 JG> break, and in
 JG> between service calls...  Picture if you will, a full size
 JG> refrigirator that is chocked full of beer, except a samll section on
 JG> the very bottom for Dr Pepper!  Must have been interesting taking
 JG> notes at the meetings!

IF anything was worth taking notes on. Must have been some interesting
reading of the notes too. (G)

-> I'm just as happy ours is a dry post. There's probably enough fussing
-> going on without anything extra fueling it.

 JG> I definitely could understand that... Amazing some of the problems
 JG> Louisiana has.... One day, they're going to run out of folks stupid
 JG> enough to stay there, or they'll realize their relaxed policy of
 JG> alcohol will end up killing off their population!  I can remember

We were in NOLA a couple of years ago for the Southern Baptist
Convention Annual Meeting. Interesting, the bits of the city we saw,
people we talked to.

 JG> several
 JG> stories in the papers of folks with charges of 5 first offense DUI's.
 JG> A lady who killed a baby on Christmas Day was released from jail w/o
 JG> any of the usual requirements like a breath tube for her car,
 JG> high-risk
 JG> insurance, etc. because she promised the judge she'd be a good little
 JG> girl from now on!  Even thought that was or her 2nd or 3rd DUI
 JG> offense... She promised she wouldn't get in trouble again!  Another
 JG> lady come in the store where I worked at.  She was telling this
 JG> younger guy
 JG> how she talked to the DA, and gave him some money, and he dropped all
 JG> the charges against her.  She just has to pay the DA some money every
 JG> so many months, and not worry about attending any alcohol classes,
 JG> breathing devices in her car, nothing against her insurance...  Gosh,
 JG> that DA's so nice!

I'll bite my tongue so as not to make a comment on that.


-> -> IIRC, my mom's made a square loaf. Our first couple of machines made a
-> -> tall rectangular loaf, the latest one has a horizontal rectangular pan
-> -> with 2 paddles. We use the KA mixer and do 2 loaves at a time more often
-> -> now.
->  JG>    I can see myself making some interesting bread loaves... But not
->  JG> enough to justify buying a bread maker....  And I'm not a baker,

-> We like real whole wheat bread. I'd baked our own, sometimes 8 loaves at
-> a time, until I broke both wrists. That made it hard to knead so we got
-> the first bread machine. It died while we still had one daughter at home
-> so we got another. When it died, we replaced it, then Steve got me the
-> Kitchen Aid. He said he likes the bread recipe I use (the one we used to
-> use, before breaking the wrists) better.

 JG> My wife reminded me, I gotta see what the doc's claim against whole
 JG> wheat bread is...  They used to say its good for you, but now they're
 JG> saying avoid it...  Lots of things they tell you is good to eat, give
 JG> them a couple of years and they'll say its bad and tell you to eat the
 JG> things that they told you not to eat 2 years ago...  And they wonder
 JG> why some folks say I don't care if it's not good for me, I'm going to
 JG> just
 JG> enjoy being alive while I can!

We like the taste a lot better than the white flour. It's also not
chemically bleached, preservatives added, etc.


-> Ever have Italian pepperoni bread? I had some, while visiting my in laws
-> in Florida a few years ago. It also has mozzarella cheese in it--good
-> stuff! One of these days I'll make a whole wheat version.

 JG> Maybe.... My mom used to buy something with Peperoni and cheeze in
 JG> it...

Sounds like it might be similar.


-> All kinds of things you can do with bread! One recipe in my original
-> bread machine book called for an envelop of dried onion soup. That made
-> a good bread! I might pull it out and adapt it to the new machine.

 JG> Uh oh, that'll sell one to my wife!  Everything she cooks she puts
 JG> onion soup mix and Whistershire saunce or Terioki sauce in it....
 JG> Piggly
 JG> Wiggly sells onion soup mix in individual packs 3/$1.00.  She goes and
 JG> buys 12-25 packs at a time....

She's getting a sodium overload there. I'll try to remember to pull out
the book and post the recipe, then try adapting it for my current
machine.
