Bad news in the news for us. We have a drought. We all are supposed to cut back on water use. We have, and now we have a dead lawn. So, instead of rewarding our efforts, the water company is going to raise the prices to make up for the loss in revenue.
To add insult to injury, gasoline has gone up 10 cents since yesterday and is going to jump an additional 50 cents/gal next week. I can't wait till I can move out of here.

I can not tell you how bad I want to leave this Dumbass state.And the south.We have a pisspoor Gov.All this flap over a dang flag.....unreal.. like a flag will stop racism and crime. I am fed up with all of it and the people who wanted the flag down. Ignorant ..

But in light of everything that has happened recently, I would feel ashamed of myself if I didn't speak up and say that some of us are also fed up with all the people who didn't want the flag down, though I'll refrain from calling them ignorant.  

Like I said, I don't think this is the right place for a political discussion of any sort, but because of what was said, I felt obliged to respond...

Geepers.../?? I wonder if using thin thin sliced and diced onion instead of the leeks would work??

I love eating spaghetti / macaroni like that...
Growing up, there were times when it was spaghetti every day; but just a different way.
Like today, being Friday...It would be browned bread crumbs with minced garlic in oil and butter, then adding canned tuna in olive oil. Spaghetti cooked and oiled lightly, then a scoop of the drain water to wet it a little.
Add all the tuna crumb mixture and mix well. Plate; and dust with black pepper, and serve lemon wedges to squeeze onto the spaghetti as it is eaten.

The bad part, is it is not very filling for some reason, and the good part is....It's really Good.... and the lemon really does a great job of flavor.

Yes, Jimmy, you can (and I have) used onion instead of the leeks.  But I do like the taste of leeks so I just use a whole one instead of just 1/2 c.  It cooks down and adds a nice thickness to the sauce.

But the BEST PART is definately the toasted buttered bread crumbs to soak up some of the liquidy sauce.  And the way some of the grape tomatoes pop in your mouth....oh, yeah, instead of cutting the tomatoes in half I leave 'em whole and not all of them cook down.....some squirt yummy tomato juice in your mouth when you bite into them.

Tina brought back three, and the waitress put the bunns the onions the chili and the mustard and burgers all in separate individual containers.
3 containers of cole slaw, which was awesome.

DISSassembled burgers!  That's FANTASTIC!  Otherwise you'd have had one huge gloppy mess and it wouldn't have tasted good at all.

Way to go Ms. Tina!

(Did you add some sweet/hot pickles???  I love 'em with the chili sauce.)
