Cool game. Really simple graphics and lots of repetitive clicking away at monsters, but more fun that you would think. I played it here: http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/06/ginormo_sword.phpA somewhat incomplete but very helpful walkthrough can be found at: http://adayinthemindof.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/ginormo-sword-walkthrough-final-version/ Yes, I finished it, but the walkthrough — had I read it earlier — would probably have saved me [...]

{originally written for a paralegals publication} With the advent of the computer in every home and business, paper was declared obsolete. But people in the real world found otherwise, and some even had more paper than before, thanks to the ability to produce the written (and therefore printed) word at record breakneck pace. Requirements for [...]

Greetings, There is a rumor going around that Marilla 2008 has been canceled. THIS IS NOT TRUE.

This person of persons have lost sight of the reason we do what [...]

Greetings and salutations, Some of you may remember my asking questions on starting a re-enactment in my town of Lyndon New York.

So: Red Kale; Winter Squash; Carrots; Parsnips; Beets; Potatoes; Celeriac; Turnips; Daikon; Black Radish; Onions; Apples.

Peeling celeriac–like peeling winter squash (see last week’s post), it’s easier to cut the celeriac into chunks and peel each chunk. This is the last week of the summer share for the Tuesday and Wednesday shareholders. The Thursday shareholders are starting their winter share this week. Next week The Produce Stand will give way to [...]

For some reason, this thread didn’t post. Here are the recipes for that week.

Peeling winter squash: I have found that most recipes calling for winter squash to be peeled first can be modified by baking the squash whole (pierced in several places to prevent the squash exploding), then, when cool, opening the squash and removing the flesh. However, sometimes this will not do. An easier way to peel [...]

A reminder, rather than a tip: the ‘Search’ tab is useful for locating recipes from all the weekly installments. Simply type in the vegetable or fruit you’re interested in and all the threads containing that item will appear. Autumnal offerings this week: Broccoli Rabe (Rapini); Choi; Greens–Arugula, Mizuna, Chard, Kale, Tat Soi; Scallions; Japanese Turnips [...]

Seeding Bell Peppers: To quickly remove the stem and meaty bulb of seeds from a bell pepper, slice the pepper from the tip toward the stem, stopping just short of the stem. Pull the two pieces of pepper apart. They’ll break off from the stem, leaving most of the seeds and the stem behind. Or, [...]

Yet another lettuce/greens storage tip: Wash lettuce/greens, separate them into leaves, then lay them on a large, clean kitchen towel. Gently roll them up like a jelly roll. Stored in the refrigerator, the towel will absorb the water and then slowly feed it back to the leaves, keeping them fresh for about a week. Things [...]

Tear-free onion chopping: This works (courtesy of Martha Stewart). Place a lit votive candle next to your chopping board. The flames will absorb the onion fumes that cause tearing. Just be careful not to knock it over… Our share this week consists of: Sweet Onions; Green Beans; Tomatoes; Beets; Carrots; Zucchini/Summer Squash; possibly some Herbs [...]

Home storage of potatoes–The ideal storing temperature for potatoes is 45 to 50 degrees F., but anything colder causes problems, so don’t refrigerate them. When chilled, the starches start to convert to sugar and the potatoes will taste odd and cook differently; the sugars will also make the potatoes brown too quickly. As well, keep [...]

Zucchini/Summer Squash: Salting zucchini before cooking–I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago and want to elaborate on it. It makes a huge difference, if you have the extra half hour to do it. Simply put your grated or sliced zucchini or summer squash in a bowl with a teaspoon or so of salt (if [...]

Who needs an adult toy party when there’s a pet store around the corner? Chains, collars, and … well … I don’t want to know what the designers were thinking with some of the pet toys and accessories. Behold the “deshedding tool” … sorry, but not THIS man’s best friend.

Cucumbers will cool and clear tired, sore eyes, as well as reduce under-eye puffiness. Slice cuke into thin slices. Spritz eye area (eyes closed) or moisten with water. Lie down and place cuke slices on each eyelid. Leave on for 10 minutes. Cucumber is also good for sunburnt or scalded skin, grate or slice cuke [...]

{written for Western New York Paralegal Association newsletter, 2007-08} WiFi and Wireless Networks Simplified- Kenneth Stuczynski, KENTROPOLIS Internet All techno-jargon aside, we all know that computers, phones, printers, and other devices communicate without wires all the time in today’s offices and cities. The two main ways are Bluetooth and WiFi. They use different signals and [...]

Tomato tip: A serrated knife is best for slicing tomatoes. Tomatoes have ovary walls, and when you slice them horizontally, the pulp and juice tend to slosh out. But if you slice a tomato vertically, from the top of the stem to the bottom of the fruit, the slices will stay firmer, which will keep [...]

Tip: Always remove the greens of vegetables such as turnips, beets, radishes and carrots before storing in the refrigerator. Store the greens separately. The greens leach moisture and nutrients from the root vegetable. Leave about an inch of green stem, especially with beets and other roots that you will bake whole–this will prevent nutritient loss [...]

{in response to the question, posted on my gang board on www.Hobowars.com} I am not my religion. Religion is something I choose to practice. It doesn’t even have to be something to believe or not believe in … let other people argue over that stuff and be all smug about being right when everyone else [...]

Beet stains: Get rid of beet stains by sprinkling your hands with salt or sugar and rubbing them together vigorously. Wash with soap and water. This week we are sharing: COLLARDS; kale; napa cabbage; beets; POTATOES; lettuce; zucchini and summer squash; tarragon; dill; cilantro; parsley; and perhaps… Fruit share is apricots; peaches; and blueberries. Recipes: [...]

{not my best writing, but not too bad for off the cuff …} A military Chaplain could be compared to a parent. They pray with you, encourage you, equip your soul with any good thing it can carry, then send you off into the world of battle or the battle of the world. They’re there [...]

Pealing Peaches: This takes some prep, but it’s the best way to peel peaches with almost no loss of peach flesh. Tomatoes are done the same way. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, fill a bowl with ice water. When the pot of water is boiling, add as many peaches as [...]

Storing Lettuces: Store lettuces in a brown paper bag. This lets moisture escape, and the lettuce lasts longer. You could even put in a stainless steel utensil (from the tip for general storing of greens, July 2, 2007). Do not store lettuce with apples, pears or bananas. Their ripening gases will cause lettuce to turn [...]

Folks,Most of you know my interest in “Black Confederates and Black Federals” I found this piece of interesting information on the following web site: http://www.csanewspapers.com/ The Greensborough PatriotMay 7, 1861Page 1 Negroes Volunteering.About fifty three negroes in Amelia county have offered themselves to the Government for any service.In our neighboring city of Petersburg two hundred [...]

Pitting Cherries: If you don’t have a cherry pitter, an instrument that resembles a hole punch (oddly, many garlic presses have a cherry pitter built in), here are some suggestions for pitting cherries. 1. A small, sharp knife, like a paring knife works well. Just cut the cherry in half and remove the pit. (This [...]

Here’s a great way to keep all your greens fresher longer–from kale to lettuces. Put them in a covered container in the refrigerator, along with a stainless steel utensil (fork, knife, spoon). It really works! Now, as for type of container, I don’t know if a plastic bag, even with as much air as possible [...]

Greens, greens, greens, greens…still in the refrigerator! And more greens this week and next week and the next week (isn’t summer great!). What to do with all this abundance? Freeze ‘em. That way you’ll be able to taste summer in the fall or winter. There are two methods: First, cook ‘em up. Wash, drain some [...]

Well, MidSummer is upon us–fireflies!! Tip: Try to make a habit of saving the water from steaming vegetables–it’s full of nutrients and can be used when you need vegetable stock, to make rice, as a refreshing (when chilled) drink, and even to water your plants. You won’t need fertilizer. The only exception seems to be [...]

This week The Produce Stand is introducing a ‘weekly tip’ pertaining to one or more elements of the week’s share. Many are based on old ‘country wisdom’ and they work! So here goes… Strawberries are in our share this week. Strawberries contain a substance that can whiten teeth! (Apparently this is done in Sweden, but [...]
