I can deal with the raspberry seeds, but blackberry seeds are another story.

I just looked it up and should have searched yesterday but a female camel is
indeed called a cow, males are called bulls, and the babies are called calves.

Now on afternoon tv it's: Judge Jerry

I kid you not. Happened upon it yesterday afternoon.
I should have watched a few minutes to see how he did
but I skipped over it.

Don't know if he still does the old talk show too.

Funny to see that though. Everyone is trying to cash in
on the "Judge Judy" success. Everyone wants to be her.

Make it taste even better, maybe? Hamburger Helper works that

If it's going to be baked 40 minutes, does it really matter what kind
of shrimp is used?

I don't have a clue if he still has a show or not. If he does, it's most
likely on broadcast TV which I never watch. I don't know if Okra still has

Naw, she just deals with a lot of stupid people. If they weren't stupid
they wouldn't be in court in front of a judge.

They may be stupid, but that doesn't make her less terrible.

That's your opinion and fortunately you don't get to say whether her contract
gets renewed or not.

A three-year-old can understand flushing toilets.

Why is the President of the United States wasting his time worrying
about toilets?

I'd like to think it's because he realises his political career is
about to go down the pan. But more realistically, it's because he
knows how many American voters are happy to buy his shit.

heheh You're thinking of Ben Cartright. ;-)

I heard interesting trivia a few months ago.
Bonanza was not so popular back in the beginning.
But then they switched to color vs B&W shows.
As they were the first western to do color, their
popularity took off.

Similar thing with the sitcom "Married With Children."
That show was seldom watched (in the beginning) and
was on the verge of being cancelled.

Then some woman viewer complained about the sexist twist to
the show and even sued them in court.
That made the news. All of the sudden, many more
people started watching it just to see what the
controversy was about. And they liked it so the
ratings took off and the show became a huge success
and lasted for many more seasons. LOL

Because that woman complaining turned the show
into a success, every year on the anniversary of her
first complaint, they sent her a nice card signed by
the entire cast....thanking her for making them
successful. LMAO. Bet you she really gnashed her
teeth every time she got the annual greeting.

No kidding. I don't know why any of these older than old people
want those jobs. Time to retire and enjoy what's left of your
life. I suspect it's just a power and fame issue with them.
Known as an "A" personality.

Right. I'm younger that some of the candidates but have no desire to
get into any work at any level. I like doing what I want on my
schedule. I cut my work week when I was 67, cut it again a couple years
later, walked away at 71. Last thing I'd want to do is be on the
campaign trail to run for POTUS. Or even dog catcher.

He was just as white as black. Look at his parents.

I don't criticize that. All I've ever said is it is easy enough to make
hamburger helper from scratch. Apparently the boxed stuff is cheaper
for some people. <shrug>

Again, stop trying to fit me into a particular cooking box. It won't work.

Better than what? It's a seafood casserole. I used canned crab and
canned "salad" shrimp. Could just as easily have been frozen thawed
Patagonian scallops. I have those on hand too.

You never actually addressed what I said about canned crabmeat. I said
I have canned crabmeat in the pantry like some people have canned tuna.
I ask you, do you expect them to go out and catch their own tuna if they
want to make tuna casserole? Or tuna salad? Nope, they're going to
open a can.

You're being purposefully obtuse. And using lots of selective trimming.
