Once again, this thread does not do sociological commentary. Much.
I had rice and beans at the Rescue Mission this afternoon.
I was glad to have it. There was a piece of meat adorning two small spare ribs to round it out, along with two pieces of white bread.
A great deal of expired food comes to the Mission from Raley's and a few other grocers. Earlier this week, there were local-grown cherry tomatoes and there are other fruits (grapefruit, especially, for some reason) given from local private householders who cannot possibly use what grows in their yard--their trees are mainly for decorative purposes.
Food waste in a drought is ridiculous.
Here's a funny-as-heck look at a not-funny phenomenon.
[Click to View YouTube Video]No, I haven't applied for food stamps. I'd feel guilty because I buy a few good restaurant meals at the beginning of the month when I have some money, money which could be saved for the end of the month.
This year, Americans will spend $2.2 billion on Halloween candy.
But that includes Necco Wafers, which are more properly classed as coagulated dust.

How sa yow za ? Goon' down that lol 'one some road ? I say no more say no more.?
Can t not let pass a terrible transgression on a page back I disparage , The British Phenom,
Jerry Moffatt, his ability to float, linking short powerful sequence climbs into dance. The flow he could often demonstrate, explaining why the left foot three moves low so that it was his personal sequence ( it is every bodies ) he put down very technical climbs and power cracks...
Beyond his pebble pinching dominance . . . . .When Jerry Moffatt burst onto the scene as a brash 17-year-old, rock climbing had never seen anyone like him before. Fiercely ambitious, even as a boy Moffatt was focussed on one thing: being the best in the world. This is the story of his meteoric rise to stardom, and how he overcame injury to stay at the top for over two decades. Top sport-climber, brilliant competitor and a pioneer in the new game of bouldering, Moffatt's story is that of climbing itself in the last thirty years. Yet Jerry Moffatt is more than a dedicated athlete. Travelling the world to fulfil his dreams, his story is a compelling and often hilarious account of the climbing community with all its glories, dangers and foibles, as well as the story. of a true sporting legend. From the intro marketing blurb for his auto biography / BooK "Revelations".

Actually, I have no baking powder, but I do have ZOOM hot cereal for a nourishing start to my day.

Good morning Mouse and all,
Not social commentary.
Well, I've always considered fry bread the equivalent of bitter herbs and unleavened bread on Passover, in a way.
Fry bread was what First People, especially the Plains people, learned to eat when they were forced on to reservations, and were given "rations" which consisted of some flour, for a people who were meat eaters until their Buffalo herds were destroyed. So when we have fry bread, the stories I heard as a child were more about why we eat fry bread, and what memories of whites were handed down with this tradition.
But as barefoot kids, we got fry bread with cinnamon sugar and sometimes honey, which was a wonderful treat for the children. It was our own version of Lady Fingers, Donuts, Little Debbies, and all those treats made with sugar rolled together, fried up in one delicious, sweet-dripping sugary confection, and warm from the fire. Wow, great mouth-watering memories. That was in the days before food stamps, of course.
Which you could get now, maybe, and then you might be able to enjoy a few more meals out each month. I think it is a time in your life for you to ease into comfort and joy, sitting with friends, enjoying their company, and living in relaxation and ease. Playing with your grandchildren. If you were an elder sitting outside of your lodge, the children would be bringing you berries, and we would be bringing you meat and onions, baked roots, and boiled grains. :)
I see my Sunday commentary has devolved into a food commentary, if not a social commentary. :) Free advice from the pemmican pantry. I am sure worth less than the pemmican. :)
Thank you

I always liked toast with butter-cinnamon-sugar. Not many folks in CV made pemmican.
What kind of berries are those?

[Click to View YouTube Video]This was a great movie. It's a beautiful soundtrack, too.
I don't think anyone mentioned it as their favorite Western!
It kind of shows how counter to the public our climbers' sensibilities run.
Now that's social commentary.
There is a highly-readable sequel to the original novel, as well, titled The Holy Road.
Buffalo chip ice cream was developed for this movie. It is a great topping for fry bread.
Liz and I used to love to go to a few pow-wows here and there before she took the sky road.
The last one I ever attended was given in Atwater and it was dedicated by the elder, Brad Two Bears, as HER MEMORIAL.
Also, none of the bison in this, HER FAVORITE MOVIE, were computer animated (CGI was then in its infancy)
and only a few were animatronic or otherwise fabricated;
only two were totaled in the filming, as well.
In fact, Costner and crew employed the largest domestically owned bison ranch,
with two of the tame bison being borrowed from Neil Young;
this was the herd used for the bison hunt sequence.

Funny thing. Costner lived about a mile and half from me. He had a three-legged dog who I named Tripod. I was running one day and Costner and a couple guys were playing basketball in the yard behind a large wall. They did not invite me in. Something about pancakes or big walls or waffling.
When they divorced his wife stayed in the house. It appears to have sold recently for about $5Million.

What's even funnier is how swiftly property values drop off as you travel West for a mile or two. Hahahahahaha.

I like the buddy-seat, but are shocks really that useful for cruising?
I want to be remembered for the music or not at all
-Jim Donini said that
I know everyone has a choice in cruising, but when I cruise it's with Eddie

No, they aren't useful at all cruisin'.
Sorta like the "twelfth man" riding the pine and biding his time,
but still making the NBA minimum, whatever that is.
Remember, the average salary in the NBA is ONLY $4.9 million.
I got in a pick-up game with some locals.
I didn't need to do much scoring to beat them with my own brand of defense.
I kept thinking, what would Chuck Norris do?
I mainly score on the older players who are pretty slow. It's not pretty, sometimes.
