[lace-chat] Custody drama

How very true, but hopefully the word English will be replaced by Australian next yearb - but I doubt it unless the selectors can start seeing beyond the ends of their noses.

Re: [lace-chat] 1911 Census Info
Hello Jean One of my family history group emails, long deleted, suggested that it will be the bits about disablility or mental incapacity that will be withheld until January 2112. From http://www.1911census.info/ there's a link to http://www.yourfamilytreemag.co.uk/resources/yft/1911page.jpg which shows an actual page from the census. The info in the column headed Infirmity appears to have a label marked Neither confirm or deny placed over it. I guess that's what will be withheld until the full 100 years is up.

Ouch!!! That hurt David. Sue M Harvey Norfolk UK -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David in Ballarat Sent: 07 January 2007 01:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [lace-chat] Custody Drama Custody drama Federal Court Ruling from the Melbourne Age, Australia (AP) - A seven year old boy was at the centre of a courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the English cricket Team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

[lace-chat] Martha versus Muriel
I'm with Muriel *Martha's Way* Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips. *Muriel's Way * Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway! Martha To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. Muriel Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix , keep it in the pantry for up to a year. Martha When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake. Muriel Go to the bakery! They'll even decorate it for you. Martha If you accidentally oversalt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant fix-me-up. Muriel If you oversalt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Please recite with me the real woman's motto: I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes! Martha Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks. Muriel Celery? Never heard of it! Martha Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish. Muriel The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I don't. Martha Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away. Muriel Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! Martha If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy. Muriel Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you. Martha Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. Muriel Leftover wine??? HELLO !!!

[lace-chat] Potatoes
The breakfast thread on Lace has gotten around to hash
browns. Which reminded me of my favorite lunch.
When you buy hash browns in a restaurant, or take pre-made
cakes out of the freezer case at the grocery, they are
really cartofflepooffer -- and it's no wonder they aren't
sold under that name! I calls 'em potato pancakes when
made at home -- but home-made ones come out pancake shaped
and crunchy instead of in the form of little cakes with
mealy interiors. It's a very simple -- but very
high-calorie -- dish: grate potatoes coarsely, you don't
even have to peel them first, then fry them in lots of oil
-- best in the still-molten grease from frying the bacon.
You'll have to add more oil for the second batch; the potato
shreds soak it up *fast*.
good! And not one molecule in it is on the South
Beach diet. Well, I think salt is allowed.
For a proper hash-brown potato, you peel and cube the
potatoes the night before, then soak the them in cold water
until morning to make them crisp and take the coating of
starch off. Be sure to use the soaking water in cooking,
because all the vitamins and minerals are in it. What hits
the skillet is pure starch. Drain well, rolling on a towel
if necessary. Fry until brown on most sides.
Needless to say, it is several decades since I have done this.
But I make a closely-allied dish for lunch -- at least I did
until Dr. Snider told me to swear off white potatoes.
{parenthesis}
Personally, I think the folks who say that sweet potatoes
are less glycemic than white potatoes are engaged in wishful
thinking: you can *taste* the sugar in sweet potatoes:
enough that I won't put gravy on them. But they are really
good cubed and fry-steamed even when I don't add spices or
butter. (Steaming them in their own vapors sort of
concentrates the sugar, so butter isn't required.) Spices
are free-choice, and cinnamon is on the do eat list. DH
also takes cinnamon in capsules, but after forgetting to go
to the pharmacy several days in a row, he has figured out
how to mix loose cinnamon with his calcium chews.
{/parenthesis}
I chop celery and put it in a skillet with sesame oil to
start cooking, then scrub and cube a potato. I don't peel
it unless the skin has more flaws than I care to cut out.
Nor do I wash off the coating of starch. Bell Pepper (sweet
capsicum) goes in next if I have it, then chopped onion.
Also anything else I find in the fridge. If there is
left-over meat, it goes in at the last moment so it can heat
without cooking more. The veggies are more steamed than fried.
But sweet potatoes cooked this way would get really sweet,
unfit to mix with meat and vegetable. I'll have to start
haunting La Surtidoria in hope of jicama, but it seems to be
seasonal, and I don't know when the season is.

ground-level strawberries.)
