I ordered my seeds for next year on 9/10 from Park Seeds in North
Carolina. They sent me an email the same day saying that my order had
shipped. The email contained a tracking #. I checked the # a couple
of days later and the USPS message said it was waiting for receipt of
item. I figured my order was lost. I kept checking and USPS said
still waiting and that many post offices were closed due to storm.
Just yesterday that was the same message. I checked again today and
the message says my order is out for delivery by this evening. So
some things are getting moving in that terrible devastated area. I
cheer for whatever little bit of normality they are able to get. I
simply can't imagine what those people are going through. Not just
the big thing like losing your house but every little thing about how
you go about your daily life.

Losing a handful of seeds can't compare to losing one's home.
Good luck with next year's garden.

Popeye, if the houses had no basement, better they are lost, right?

Â* A lot of people are down on the USPS , and yes they do have their
issues . That said , their service out here in the woods is superb . I
ordered a main board for our refrigerator (got watered by the ice maker
supply ) on the 14th , got it on the 17th from Minnesnowta . They quite
often beat the estimated delivery date , and we do a lot of "mail order"
stuff living way out here in the woods .

Years ago when I mailed boxes of my Christmas Candy to Australia the USPS office first time warned me it would be expensive, like $25 and I was like well at least the service can be bought for $25 because if this was 200 years ago I'd have to rent a boat and devote months of my life! ;-)

I'm sorry that what you got from my message was that I'm down on USPS.
On the contrary I think it is wonderful that under such awful
circumstances they have been able to function.

Add me. I've always wanted one even though I know it would be
rarely used. Sure would be nice when I did want one though. I'd
probably use that more often than a meat grinder. Sorry Sheldon!

When I worked at the school, I would bring my turkey roasts, hams, etc. to
work and slice them on the big slicer, yes...on my own time, I miss being
able to do that.

A meat slicer has to be the most idiotic appliance for a home kitchen.
You'll enjoy cleaning a meat slicer after slicing meat for a sandwich
or three, probably take close to an hour.

Cleaning a meat grinder takes five minutes.

You could have 'custody' of the meat slicer for one year and then Steve

Since you showed me yours, I feel obliged to show you mine. 8-) Well,
actually it is only a photo of one that looks like my old workhorse. Not
automated slicing; but, it does meet my actual needs, vs. my desire for

No handle; but doesn't really need one. There are plenty of places to grab
to pick up to move; the frame is open, so it is easy to grab between the
legs. (Sheldon, calm down, it's a metal machine)

We'll need a meat vacuum tumbler, too. The perfect accompaniment to
a professional meat slicer when making deli meats. This one should
be about the same price as the meat slicer.

https://www.waltonsinc.com/promarks-...vacuum-tumbler

You could thoroughly pickle 20 whole pork butt in about 25 minutes
with that thing. While I'll be turning briskets and navels into
corned beef and pastrami.

Unless you're selling sliced loaves it doesn't make sense to slice a
lot of bread before eating it.... use a bread knife to slice as
needed.

If there are enough people around to eat a loaf of bread within a day or
two will slice it as needed. My wife rarely eats bread and I only eat a
slice or two a day, so I keep bread in the freezer. It is hard to slice
frozen bread, so I get sliced bread from our local bakery and take out a
slice or two as needed.

I found that when sliced bread is frozen the slices stick together.
When we buy bakery bread we don't have them slice it, we slice as
needed, a loaf goes in the fridge and lasts us 4-5 days. When we buy
packaged sliced bread it's kept in the fridge... if frozen the entire
loaf is defrosted in the fridge. About half the time we buy hard
rolls. We obviously consume more bread than you... and we both prefer
different types of bread. My wife prefers multi-grain breads, loaded
with seeds... I like bread with seeds but my teeth don't enjoy it, She
toasts her bread, I rarely toast bread. I can tell when she's
toasting bread, invariably the smoke alarm goes off.

Sometimes they do stick a little. It is only our baker's sourdough whole
wheat that I have trouble prying apart. Sometimes I have to slide a
knife in and pry it a bit. The rest of the time I can pull it off by
hand. The regular whole wheat separated much more easily. I am careful
how I put it into the freezer and make sure that it is not bent and
mutilated because that makes it hard to separate when frozen.

If I could go through a loaf in 4-5 days I might keep it in the fridge.
However, I love of bread lasts me about a week and a half. It would go
from fresh to stale to an penicillin project before I got through it.

I like whole wheat rolls, but good ones are hard to find. Our regular
baker makes good ones, but they are expensive. I was getting white
dinner rolls from an Italian bakery on one town but the last two times
they were not fresh. Actually, two batches ago the owner warned me they
were day old. That's fine because they were going in the freezer anyway,
and day olds from the freezer are as good as those bought fresh then
frozen. They turned out to have been a lot more than day old. They were
stale. The next time I bought fresh rolls and they were half stale.

Last week I started picking them up at a different Italian bakery. The
rolls were fresher and froze nicely. When thawed for use they were very
fresh tasting.

Yeah, I know.

Popeye buys bread to use as follows:

He cuts off the crust and throws it out his windows (with all his other
refuse).

Then he rolls the bread into little tightly compacted balls ... some
small, and some larger.

The small ones are used to stuff in his ears and nostrils.

I'll refrain from revealing the fate of the larger balls.

My old Rival workhorse can be thoroughly cleaned in under 7 minutes, perhaps
not by a drunken NY pervert; but, even the "one-armed man" from the old TV
show, The Fugitive, could do it in under 8. But we don't have cat fur to
contend with in our goods to be sliced; that might complicate things.
