Yup. We ate some and divided the rest...we'll have 3 more meals at a later point in time (like when I don't feel like workin' the stove).

Our little 8-lb bird made for a hearty meal and then was picked apart for 18 turkey tamales (filling is turkey, roasted green chiles, chipotle powder, jack cheese.) The remaining carcass will be soup tomorrow!
Had my favorite breakfast of pumpkin pie and coffee. Life is good!

True story: a friend of mine used Retin A on her face to reduce wrinkles…She had a habit of, ah, drinking a little excessively…While on vacation, she got a hemorrhoid and OMG mistakenly put the Retin A instead of Prep H on it…..

Have to wonder........did it remove the wrinkles??

Just started a new temp. thread so I wouldn't add to the traffic jam here - it's in the rambling forum "Black Friday Bargains - How did you score.?" Hope you'll respond - I love me some bargains - even when they aren't mine.

You ever make em with pineapple raisins and Guava nectar or Mango nectar as the stuffing.... I so want to try making those.

Any dried fruit bites works instead of the raisins.


I bet a little dab of cream cheese would be awesome.... I know its not a mexican ingredient....

I have to mention that preparation H also removes puffiness under the eyes....

We get grain mites on occasion here when it gets really humid and hot in the summer (so, almost never).

The last time we got them they were all over the kitchen counter and in a cup of pens by the refrigerator. I threw all the pens out but wanted to keep the highlighter (it was the only one I had). I figured I would microwave the highlighter for about 30 seconds and kill the little buggers and not damage the highlighter in the process. I was wrong.

A few seconds into the cycle the highlighter exploded (as I suppose the grain mites did too). It looked like someone had filled the microwave with silly string.

It was a lot to clean up.

In retrospect, it was kinda fun.

I've microwaved ants- it does NOTHING to them. Still running around. Grain mites are frequently the cause of "food allergies" in dogs. The dogs are reacting to the mites not the grain in the diet.

One of my brothers wasn't sure how much, if any, gas was in a gas can. He didn't have a flashlight with him though. In retrospect, a full can would have been safer than a can of fumes. Yes, his 10-12 year old brain thought it would be fine if he used a match to check the gas level.

scared to ask what the results were - I hope he isn't in a burn unit or worse

Quote: I saw a young man about twenty cleaning parts at the local air port. We were visiting a friend who was an A&P mechanic for the Confederate Airforce. This young man had a coffee can out on the tarmac and was dipping parts in it and cleaning with a brush. he was using Aviation fuel.... I didnt see the fire... I just saw his sirt turning black and dsappearing on him.... You should have seen the two hangers clear of men who knew what it was grabbing fire extingusiers and blankets to put him out. He was luckey

My grandmother gets upset to think I have a propane tank up at the house that holds 250 gallons of fuel. "Thats a dangerous fire hazard." When I realized it had run empty I was getting ready to get it filled up again. The deal is they are much more hazardous empty than they are full...

Fumes are inherantly dangerous.... Thats why a no smoking sign at the gas station.... and no Cell phones either. In CAlifornia we have vapor recovery on the pumps.... so its difficult to have fumes pool under the car. When I worked for ARCO I had the capability to shut a pump off if I wanted. I would announce over the intercom to put the cigarette out. One fellow Argued with me... I shut his pump off.

Yep you can throw a match into a gas tank.... if its full.... Do you want to test it? I dont want to see it. idot
