    I have friend who went off the C19 deep end as well. Not all that surprising though, since was the sort who would never follow Dr’s advice or orders. Had continuously high cholesterol but refused to take his prescribed statin; even after suffering two strokes, the last one leaving him blind in one eye. Anyhow, he was dead set against the C19 jab. Yes, he came down with it and, yes, he ended up ten days in hospital during the Delta outbreak.

    @Renauda said in Trouble in cannabis paradise: I thought this was about the risks and dangers of cannabis. Not about the dialectics of hypocritical tribalism. From reefer to high horse? Sounds like a Prince song.

    Delicious, easy and you can mix and match herbs of any sort. I've been using Italian parsley and cilantro. Butter-Basted Chicken Breasts By Ali Slagle Published Feb. 27, 2025 Butter-Basted Chicken Breasts Total Time 25 minutes Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 20 minutes For juicy, bronzed and flavorful chicken breasts, all it takes is a butter-baste. Spooning hot butter and aromatics over steak is a common technique, but applying that method to lean, quick-cooking proteins like boneless chicken breasts is particularly beneficial because the butter keeps the white meat from drying out while imparting the flavor of whatever ingredients are sizzling in it. Here, that’s garlic and woodsy herbs, but you could also use ground or whole spices or finely chopped ginger or scallions. Serve with rice pilaf or lemon linguine, and a green vegetable like roasted brussels sprouts or stir-fried green beans. Ingredients Yield: 3 to 4 servings 1½ to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts Salt and black pepper 1tablespoon vegetable or canola oil 3tablespoons unsalted butter 4garlic cloves, smashed and peeled 4rosemary, thyme or sage sprigs, or a mix Add ingredients to Grocery List Shop ingredients on Instacart Your first order gets $20 off and free delivery. Instacart terms apply. Ingredient Substitution Guide Nutritional Information Preparation Step 1 Use a meat mallet or heavy skillet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Coat all sides with the oil. Step 2 Heat a large, preferably cast-iron, skillet over medium-high until just smoking. Add the chicken and cook until golden underneath, 3 to 5 minutes. Step 3 Reduce heat to medium-low. Flip the chicken and add the butter, garlic and herbs. When the butter is foaming, tilt the skillet and spoon the melting butter over the chicken until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon the butter onto any pale areas to create an even crust. Step 4 Transfer the chicken to plates and top with all the butter and bits in the skillet. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

    It's not dead, it just smells funny. On second thought, that's probably the programmers.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Hey Phibes, check in: This is the second mass-shooting within 10 miles of where I live in as many months. Both of the shooters were apparently domiciled in Florida, although I'm sure that's just a coincidence Tom. Ha! touchy, touchy, touchy.

    I sometimes worry about muscle tears or other structural damage when the cramp is super severe. Never happened thankfully. I bet it sometimes does.

    Option The whine of the drones at the Olympics. Cool video perspectives, but it's bordering on vuvuzela level annoyance while watching a sport.

    @LuFins-Dad Is most of the ice concrete gone? We had a nice melt recently and saw the marks in the grass from where voles like to dig around under the turf (under the snow).
