Tonight's dinner offering was shrimp Lo Mein and (frozen) egg rolls .
And since there wasn't a crumb left , I figger Mrs. Snag must have liked
it . My goal is to match the Lo Mein we used to get at China Wok , the
Chinese restaurant I used to deliver for . I haven't quite made it yet ,

to fall into a boring repetitive "meat loaf every Tuesday" menu regimen

okra from the garden .
Speaking of gardens , we canned another 6 quarts of tomatoes
yesterday . Some here think it's a waste of time to home can tomatoes ,
to those I say a hearty **** You ! I'd rather can my own and know
exactly what's in that jar rather than use commercial that's got stuff I
can't pronounce in the can . I also have several one gallon Ziploc bags

Yabbut what would a Chinese think? Maybe you're learning to make
perfect adulterated Americochinese (or Eurochinese) food.

That's a healthy critical attitude that's frowned upon in RFC. Now,
they'll think you're a commie.

LOL. But to hit closer to "home" you should have said

My garden subsumbed this year sadly but the apple trees are still
producing final crop. I'm south of many of you so we crop earlier.

And now you're getting an influx from California But who can blame
them for leaving that ******** and most of them are probably not

I buy cases of 28 oz. cans of Hunts whole peeled plum tomatoes.
Contains: "tomatoes, tomato juice, less than 2% of salt, citric acid,
calcium chloride".
What the "****" are you incapable of pronouncing, you illiterate
*******?
Oh, and they are in steel cans, not glass jars that can break and also
glass slivers from old fashioned canning jars can end up in the
tomatoes unbeknownst to the home canner, a common occurance
necessitating a trip to the ER and complex microsurgery of the
digestive system. Anyone gifts me jars of food they canned I thank
them, immediately open the jars, and flush the contents down the
toilet... they can have the jars back if they ask... where the **** do
you live, in little house on the prairie? Only utter imbeciles who
are ****ing cheap *******s who refuse to buy a freezer still do home
canning... home canning went out the window with the ice-a-box. No
home canner can come close to out doing commercial canning.

Now let's see a picture of your Lo Mein, Snag Bob, or I'd say you're a
LIAR.

In what universe is it a "common" occurrence to make a trip to the ER
and microsurgery to the gut because of slivers of glass from canning
jars.? Not broken canning jars, but just plain old canning jars.
Why doesn't the slivers of glass occur when you put your pickles in
glass jars? You have too many worries.

A lot of the stuff you post is bogus, but you are correct that canning tomatoes isn't a productive use of time or effort. Plus, it made me laugh when I read, "where the **** do
you live, in little house on the prairie?" I have to admit that it's easy to get me to laugh right now, as I'm eating spectacular Italian sausage with great Italian bread, and good American knockoff Dijon mustard, oh and a single hop pale ale (Sabro) that claims to be New England style, but is about as New England as Chipotle is Mexican. It's good beer, just not great beer.

Texas has been getting Californians for 35 years now - nothing new.
We get more people from New York these days than California.

San Jose State was a much more respectable school, and the students
are much more sensible.

Subsumed:

include or absorb (something) in something else.
"most of these phenomena can be subsumed under two broad categories"

Origin
mid 16th century (in the sense "subjoin, add): from medieval Latin subsumere, from sub- "from below + sumere "take. The current sense dates from the early 19th century.

Sorry, I don't usually bother to correct people online (it would be a never-ending task), but I thought
you might like to know you're misusing the word "subsume".

I once wrote the word intestine when I meant internecine. I don't know why, because I know both words, but I bet I'd been drinking. I'm sure she meant succumbed.

Possibly, although she's used it that way before.

This has made me think about Winston Churchill, and how much mileage he got from using
very plain language. No ten-dollar words for him when a ten-cent one is clearer and has
more impact.

That's what people on this rock call this rock. Plus, it seems to really infuriate yoose guys. On this rock, we really know how to entertain ourselves cheaply. Please don't take no rock from our rock. We need all the rocks we can get. Plus, you'll be forever be cursed with bad luck if you do.
