Hi Dave,

 DD> here for anything larger than medium is $2.90/dozen (battery) and
 DD> $3.25/dozen (cage free).

 RH> Sounds like a good deal to me. Deborah is still raising chickens in her
 RH> back yard so gifted us with some steamed eggs to enjoy on our way home.
 RH> She is getting about 3 a day now from the hens.

 DD> I got a little steamer on an on-line premium deal (Coke Rewards) that
 DD> I thought to use as a small rice cooker. HAH! It will steam eggs quite

We use the steamer basket insert that came with one of the pots we
bought a few years ago. Found another one in an AZ thrift store that
fits our camping cookware set.


 DD> nicely, though. And a couple servings of vegetables. Oh, well. It was
 DD> basically free - and it nests within itself so doesn't take a lot of
 DD> cabinet space.

Space saving is nice, especially if the space is tight. I need to try to
rework the kitchen stowage here, then organise my sewing room. Both
areas are functional, but could be better on organisation for better use
of the space right now.

 DD> I don't know what his chickens eat/scratch but the yolks are a nice
 DD> dark yellow. They will definitely make nice egg noodles .... as well
 DD> as bacon & eggs, etc.

 RH> We buy them at the farmer's market from time to time, definately much
 RH> better looking (and tasting) than 99.99% of what you get at the grocery
 RH> stores.

 DD> My Sunday Humphrey's ad offers a dozen jumbo eggs free with purchase
 DD> of $20 in other merch. And they are offering hamburger at $1.99/lb in
 DD> 10# bags - ground fresh daily. I feel a big pot of chilli coming on.
 DD> Bv)=

Sounds good to me. The Legion and Auxillary are having a pot luck this
Saturday; I need to get peppers to make some chili.


 RH> Don't know how they did your check but mine was no walk in the park.
 RH> Set up, procedure and recovery took most of the day.

 DD> Cushing's Syndrome is a chronic overproduction of adrenalin - causing,
 DD> among other things, weight gain. I had lost 35# on the Atkins diet,

I was evaluated, but not tested one time some years ago--turned out it
was more steroids (for asthma) inducing problems. That cleared up as the
steroids cleared my system.

 DD> maintenance for a bit, then gone back to the Atkins routine - and
 DD> gained weight. So, I got myself to a doctor to find out why. Turns out
 DD> that my thyroid had gone on vacation. I had to take thyroxin for
 DD> nearly a year until it came back from South Hackensack or where ever
 DD> thyroids go on holiday.

Good that they decided to come back. (G)


 DD> adrenal suspicion may have more to do with "adrenal fatigue". I
 DD> further suspect that if that's the case you probably thought it was
 DD> your busy schedule doing that.   Bv)=

 RH> No, it confirmed I have a condition called primary hyperaldosteroneism.
 RH> Too much of the hormone aldosterone is being kicked out making
 RH> potassium levels run low, blood pressure run high and other side
 RH> issues. For now, it looks like medication will be the best treatment,
 RH> maybe eventually, surgery.

 DD> Hope the meds work for you. Getting cut on is never pleasant and
 DD> always "iffy"

I'd rather not get cut but if needs be...........................just
have to have a good talk with the anesthesiologist tho as I don't handle
that very well. Hopefully I'll be able to ditch one or more of the blood
pressure meds once this gets squared away.


 DD> The ultrasound tech told me that everything looked good, she saw
 DD> nothing to worry about. But, as she told me, she's not the doctor -
 DD> just the tech. I'll be hearing from Dr. (mumble) in a few days -
 DD> probably via "Follow My Health". That's a relief - as my father was
 DD> done in by a ruptured aortic aneurysm.

 RH> Probably was quite a relief. My dad had a grapefruit sized aortic
 RH> aneurism removed 16 years ago. They diagnosed it on a Friday, sent him
 RH> home (an hour away) for the week end and operated on a Monday. I was
 RH> surprised they didn't hold him until surgery.

 DD> Probably kept their fingers crossed that that bad boy didn't pop.

Yes, because he would not have made it to the hospital in time for
emergency surgery.

 DD>         8<------ CUT ------>B

 DD> I just thought - when re-reading my comment above .... dried, ground
 DD> poblano is rightly known as ancho chile powder.   Bv)=   The basis for
 DD> most chilli spice mixes and many rubs.

 RH> It's one of my staples; I need to make a stop at Penzey's to replenish
 RH> my supply.

 DD>       Title: Dirty Dave's Tex-Mex Rub
 DD>  Categories: Rubs, Spices, Herbs
 DD>       Yield: 1 batch

 DD>       5    Parts hot Spanish paprika
 DD>       5    Parts ground ancho chile
 DD>       5    Parts black pepper
 DD>       6    Parts garlic granules
 DD>       3    Parts onion granules
 DD>       6    Parts salt
 DD>       7    Parts dried celery leaf
 DD>       7    Parts dried oregano
 DD>       7    Parts dried thyme

 RH> Looks good to me.

 DD> Thank you. Rubs aren't hard. Just tinkering until you get a mix that
 DD> you like and does what you want it to do.

I'll give this a try and see how it flies.
