No , SHE didn't . They were added last because they cook so fast and
get tough if overcooked . These were very very good , she's done this
before I betcha .

I prefer steamed shrimp, myself. With Zatarains, Old Bay or other seasoning dumped on at serving time.
When I was in Hawai'i, I liked dipping shrimp in that green horseradish called Wasabi and then soy sauce.

Now that I think of it, I don't either, except for one or two people here on Usenet.

I don't care what kind of burner you use. Acetelyne gas can burn at 5800°F. I saw where MAPP gas can create a flame that is 5300 °F. Put that under even a clay pot and it will melt. Clay pottery will melt at just 2280 °F

Oh that was just the afternoon . We spent a good part of the morning
in town at the Iris Festival . I scored a new purple bearded iris for
free too . It will make a nice addition to our iris/daffodil beds .
They're having a very good year , some of our (existing) purple
bearded's have up to 5 blossoms . I sure hope our food garden does as
well as the flower beds !

The purple bearded iris is the state flower for Tennessee and they are
gorgeous. I don't have any but my buttercups/daffodils looked lovely
this year.

There is a house about 3 blocks from me that has a white picket fence
and along that fence, inside the yard, is a wide row of yellow irises. They
are very tall a few peek between the pickets are really eye-catching.

I just noticed a few minutes ago that our 2 tone purples are starting
to bloom , and the yellows are budding up nicely . April showers do
indeed bring May flowers !

I was not aware there was a prize. I did notice the last time I cleaned
up my garden shed that I have a MAPP burner and a few Oxygen tanks.

I can't remember ever using it. I think I bought it when I got mad at
something that would not 'take' solder okay with the propane torch.

I also have a number of brazing rods and even a few silver ones, but I
believe whatever it was I was trying to fix broke while I was trying to
secure it in the vice.

Interesting . A couple of days ago I TIG welded a threaded stub onto
a tie rod end for a tractor . Today I used the hydraulic press and the
lathe along with some dial indicators to straighten the hydraulic
steering cylinder rod for that same tractor . He had a full front loader
bucket up in the air and got on a side hill . Rolled the tractor and
busted up all kinds of stuff , I'll be repairing a busted exhaust elbow
as soon as I get the rest of the pieces . Turns out having a machine
shop is a hobby that pays ... my friend Bill the Machinist says that
since people pay me for stuff I'm a pro , but I think he's wrong .

I have to ask why you would have the bucket up in the air when
traversing a hill. When I worked in highway maintenance a lot of the
staff at the patrol yards were farmers. I could always tell which of
them were the farmers when I saw them driving front end loaders. They
always drove with the bucket up. Safe practice is to keep the weight low.

I have no idea why he had the bucket up . I never see anything but
the aftermath . Like the bush hog with the gear box dangling by the
drive shaft thru the hole in the deck . Metal fatigue in a 20-something
year old machine took it's toll .

It's a farmer thing. I saw it all the time. We had 28 patrol yards in
our district and I used to deliver equipment to all of them, mostly
tractors, front end loaders and graders. Every patrol had a couple
tractors with mowers and at least also had a bucket. The farmers always
drove them with the bucket up. Everyone else kept the buckets low. I
can think of lots of reasons to keep them low and not a single one to
have it all the way up.

I'm not qualified to have an opinion on this one . I've driven a
tractor with a front loader maybe 4 times ... none of them to use the
front loader .
