Morning, misfits.

Another dry day here (maybe, probably, until this afternoon? :lol: ) Dang, I already hear the weed whacker calling my name...

I have not seen it. If I have seen it, I don't remember it.
I am glad I am not the only one who has never seen it. I almost watched it last night but I am saving it for my exciting Saturday night.

You have the pot; did you get the recipe?
No I did not. I wish someone in the family had it. That is one thing I have never made. I bet there is a good crockpot recipe though. I'll have to try to find one for when winter gets here.

@Rat2chat2 Remember awhile back I told you about getting my grandmother's cookbook? Well, here you go:

BRUNSWICK STEW

2 squirrels 6 potatoes
1 T salt 1 t pepper
1 minced onion 2 t sugar
1 pint Lima beans 1 qt. sliced tomatoes
6 ears corn 1/2 lb butter
1/2 lb salt pork
This dish is named for a county in Virginia and is a favorite dish in that section of the country. It is served in soup-plates.
Cut squirrels in pieces, as for fricassee. Add salt to 4 qt. of water and when boiling add the onion, beans corn, pork, potato, pepper and the squirrels. Cover closely and simmer for 2 hours, then add the sugar and tomato and simmer one hour more. Ten minutes before removing the stew from the fire, add the butter, cut into pieces the size of a walnut and rolled in flour. Boil up, adding salt and pepper if needed and turn into a tureen.

I have no idea if this anything like what you remember, but it's a start.
There's also a recipe for Roast Squirrels, Opossum Roast, Pigeon Pie, various Reindeer, Brain Rissoles, Alligator Pear Salad, etc., etc. Just let me know, this book has everything!

Copied and put with my recipes. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this for me. You are so sweet. It sounds pretty good. I don't know about the squirrels though.

Reading old cookbooks and recipes is right up there with looking and feeling yarn. I bet you know what I mean. :)

Guess what dad had for supper. Yep. Brunswick Stew. I have a bunch in my aunt's freezer and went down there to get it this afternoon. I sat it in the sun on her driveway and when I finished with my visit, it was halfway thawed out. heehee

The Moose Lodge sells stew in the winter and I stock up for dad. Theirs is not bad and the most important thing, it's an easy supper.

Morning, all,

Here, it's only the deer that dead head the roses. :)

Did get some light showers move through late yesterday, saved some time since we didn't need to water :) Temps won't break 70 for the next week, is the current guess. Peppered with random showers, so maybe the fire hose is off of us for a while.

Just start a return on Amazon. They will most likely give you a credit and let you keep the lamp. Use the money to buy a cord.

I tried that using the 'reason' as missing or defective parts. My only options were a.) start a live chat w/ Amazon to resolve the issue b.) have Amazon call me to help resolve the issue and c.) refund the money to my credit card.

Maybe if I choose a different return reason what you said might come up as an option. At this time I'm pretty sure I'm returning it on principle even thought I did find a Monoprice USB cord for $2.50 with free Prime shipping.

See next post.

So this is the latest reply from the vendor regarding the missing cable. They're not budging from the $1 refund offer.

"But in fact our product was sold at price $8.99. This is super low price and we lost a lot money in order to clear the stock.
$ 7.5 is too much. Sorry and we hope to have your understanding....
."

Not my problem they lost money, my problem is I bought a product in good faith and it's missing a part. Their customer service sucks. Even if I bought a cheap cable that I found for $2.50, it's now the principle of the 'thing'. I don't really need a second light, but it was nice to get at the discounted price. Let them lose more money when I return it.

But first, the Amazon support person who walked me through contacting the vendor promised to call me back tonight. Let's see if the indeed happens and what she says about how one of Amazon's vendors is treating a customer. Then I'll make the final decision to return it or not.

Oh, depending how the call goes tonight with Amazon, if it happens. My reply to the vendor will be "no you do not have my understands but you will get a very negative review on the product page and your Amazon vendor page before I return the item for a full refund. I guess you'll lose even more money when I return it."

    I am adding this printout to my Apocalypse Recipe file .. :eek: .. in fact, with food prices they way they are and the sheer number of vermin that inhabit my area, it must be given serious consideration ..
