My grand daughter was born in St. Augustine. My son was full time Florida guard at the time.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
That is, nearly, the best-case scenario for me also.
Or better still Houston takes down the Zags. That way Kansas’ wins over the years against Baylor do not have as much importance.
Houston has never won shit. . . . of course the Zags have never won shit either!
Ditto. Go Zags! Hope Baylor wins it all, but Gonzaga plays at a different level.
Send some of that this way Bert. We are still in the midst of the yellow clouds of smoke from the bazillion pine trees. Need a hard rain for a bit to knock it down.
The Zags. They have a juggernaut this year in a deep and talented team. Impressive display of passing, cutting, moving with and without the ball and shooting. If form holds Baylor is the only one that could threaten them because of their guards. No problem with them going undefeated. It’s time.
You know........I was reading something a while back about biscuits........the type of flour makes all the difference in the world.......for years the director made biscuits every morning......we didn't buy much loaf bread.....it ain't hard to get out of bed if your smelling fresh biscuits in the oven and a pan of bacon.......I will ascertain and report the flour info........they said it was the reason you couldn't find a nice fluffy biscuit up north.......they don't have the same flour that is available in the south......
I posted this in reply to catsfaninsc.....I don't know what happened........
My father in law was an old mountain man.......he had grown up so poor that he said they admired the "dirt poor" people.......he had home remedies for almost everything.......I have terrible allergies......I have been sneezing for two weeks already......he recommended putting a bowl full of quartered onions on the night stand next to my bed.......it clears my head up and allows me to get some sleep.......otherwise I am stuffed up and unable to breath.........my buddy in Dallas suffered from the cedar pollen twice a year.....the onions helped him......I despise the smell of stale onions........but you get used to it very quickly.........

During my trips to England, I also noted they used "rubbish" quite often. Scots and Welsh, not so much. "Taking the piss" means make fun of something. "Wanker" is really funny too, especially when they use it in a conversation.
Love the mountains best.
White Lily Flour is one. It's available in the North now....but many people don't know the difference. They think flour is flour. The staple store out in the country owned by the Amish lady I've mentioned before....she carries all kinds of flour. Other than King Arthur...you don't know the brand....she even repackages the KA but puts their name on the label. I asked her once about White Lily....she had never heard of it....but she knows all things regarding flour.
I'm fine with anyone winning it all other than UCLA.
I saw the Celtic weave and saw an eagles nest. I see your view too! Thanks.
Perfect!
Welcome!
Good news!
Cock-a-doodle do!If you guys do not mind, I will probably start jumping in from time-to-time.
I don't follow the sports side hardly at all anymore, and the Political Thread, well, you know how it is.
I like to read those threads, but I do not interact very much there.
You guys seem more my speed these days.
Welcome!
Rivals!
Hawking! Humming birds do this alot when pursuing insect prey. Dragonflies. Ambush works.
Larson is fun stuff.
I didn't bother to fill out a bracket. 1st Time that ever happen in or out. Felt Cal made an error during the chaos. Kneeling is viewed as servitude. The team lost community support. Not all but enough to tip the canoe.
. . . . your seat is assured. First table left of the Jungle!

Had not heard of that one awf. Sometimes the old remedies are the best. Tried and true. I have no problems myself with allergies. It is more of an inconvenience than anything else. Everything has a yellow tinge to it until a hard rain or time passes. The house, car, clothes, etc. Wash the car, it’s yellow 20 minutes later etc. The clouds of it with a small breeze look like smoke in the air. Just Mother Nature at work doing her thing. I feel for those that do have problems though, must be a pain in the butt this time of year.
My parents honeymooned in St. Augustine, April 1956.
Here is the article that I read.......it comes down to soft flour and hard flour........I am like Lester and Earl.....You'll bake right with Martha White.....
My daughter lived in New Market when they first went to England......the the three oldest boys went to an English school in the village......I would walk them to school and back every day......I picked them up one day and the two older boys were talking about bitches and bastards.........turns out those folks over there use those words quite extensively.....I got them straightened out.......they were like 7 & 10 yrs old......they were just repeating what they had heard......how about "getting buggered"......or have a "cracken" good day...........My last trip over I located some like minded musicians to get together with.....we would get together in a pub on Sunday afternoons........they only time I fully understood everything they were saying was when they was singing the bluegrass songs..........something else.......people flip the finger in the US.......over there they pinch their thumb and fore finger together.........it represents fulling an arrow back and releasing it......they use it quite a bit........you flip them the birds and it's, "thanks mate".....................Some of the best memories in my life are from my times over there and a couple of the worst..............
Do u get treatments for the allergies? I sneeze a lot from allergies, usually multiple times/day. And I do get stopped up many nights. That given, they are way lessened by the shots I've been taking every two weeks for almost 50 years. At the least they've stopped my multi-sinus infections/yr & the dizziness those used to cause. I was on antibiotics a lot. There were times I couldn't walk down a hall without leaning on the walls (Yes, I get drunk & it may have seemed like that at 10 in the morning, but I wasn't.).
Chutney ferrets were big when I was there.
Good to hear! Sounds like you'll be back at it before long. Grandpa told me there are two kinds of golfers, those that have back pain and those that are going to have back pain.
I totally agree. My favorite little city on earth. The beaches and sand dunes are large and spacious. Everyone who loves history and old stuff should visit St Augustine.
Years ago most everybody headed to Florida would stop in at the Fountain of Youth and drink out of the same fountain Ponce de Lean did. Now people just fly over it on their way to Orlando or Miami. They miss out a very interesting place.
My Aunt swore by White Lily Flour... I use the King Arthur. In doing a search on Walmart.com one of their stores about 20 or so miles from here carries White Lily. (I'd have to be over that way for something else but if I do get over that way, I won't forget it.)
Both of my grandma's were very picky about flour. My daddy's mother would fight you over Martha White and my mother's mama preferred White Lily. Both would not consider baking any other brand than the one they preferred..
From watching Doc Martin I noticed that they don't always use "the" like Americans do, i.e. "you need to go to hospital".
Name brand of flour doesn't matter so much as the protein content. Want something crunchy, use a high protein flour. Want it to be fluffy, use a low protein flour. Basically if you are using yeast then you would want a high protein content. If you are using a chemical leavening agent you would use a low protein flour.
White Lily might have a lower protein content in their "all purpose" flour than King Arthur. That's probably where the differences in brands comes into play.
I like to bake because I consider each time to be a chemistry experiment. Time, temperature, ingredients, ingredient ratio, vessel are all important.

Huge realization for me happened with a BBC report I heard in France (Giens Peninsula) during week of 1986 World Cup final. Announcer discussed differences between American and British accents. A modern American accent from New England area (Mass/RI/CT) is apparently closer to older spoken dialect than modern British. It seems during mid-1800s, Brits jumped on this fad involving rolling "R's" in an attempt at sounding more sophisticated. The classic British accent evolved, whereas New England accents not so much. Interesting stuff. I also read similar accounts later on in other publications.
Plus there's the different dialects, Cornish, cockney, etc.. I'm not an expert, just amateur observer.
I loved my folks honeymoon pics. They took one with some guy dressed like Ponce. They also had a TV that they couldn't turn off, even when unplugged. Poltergeist I'm assuming. That or my parents have been lying to me all these years.
When you put it that way, a Burger King biscuit may be the way to go.😁
Most boos I have ever seen at any shoppette or Class VI was at Belvoir. Went down the street from the on post hotel I was staying in while there for Passport agent testing to get my rum and coke for the night and the shoppette I went to had more alcohol than anything else in there by far. There must be some hard corps drinkers around there.
Never went to the UK but, I lived in the British Army housing area and worked with them as well as Scots and Belgians at the 4th USAFAD in Germany and got all of those sayings as well. One mentioned earlier "Brilliant" was I thought the most over used word from the Brits.
Who do we have in this thread a bunch of descendants of Graham Kerr?
My Mom loved that guy. Must have been the accent. She loved Englebert Humperdink too. Probably butchered the spelling on that one.
Yeah, my mother watched the Galloping Gourmet all of the time. That is how I knew his name.
I studied about flour in my quest for the perfect pizza crust. 00 Caputo. Very fine ground and high protein content. The yeast you want is Panangelino Lievito. That yeast with any all purpose flour will make some of the best bread you've ever eaten. Best I've ever made anyway.
I've got that flour. Bought an outdoor pizza oven that I haven't used yet.
Well, my wife might know that but I sure don't however, since I am now retired I was thinking about learning how to cook. Some of the best chefs in the world are men. Maybe it's time I manned up.
We have used the Caputo 00 flour since I built our pizza oven........I haven't tried the yeast but I have copied the name and will very soon......if I could figure out how to post a picture......I would like to show my oven.......Actually I just ordered three boxes with 10 pkges ea........
Moisture content of your dough is about as important as the flour. Any dry active or rapid rise yeast will do. Read about cold fermentation to get the best results.
I know how to cook some things. For anything complicated though I just use a recipe. You can cook about anything if you know how to read and measure properly.
You can order it off Amazon, that's where I get mine. It tastes amazing and as I said earlier, it makes for a great loaf of white bread.
