Make sure that it was a bass, at least, to fit the circumstances.

Re: Spicy Stuff Recipe

It does seem to me that jalapenos, though now available damn near everywhere, are nowhere near as hot as they were 30 years ago. Whether that's me or the chiles is hard to tell.

Capsicums do cross-pollinate like mad, and interesting things can happen when you raise plants from saved seeds.

Re: 1st *Unofficial* DFW Wapsicon

Well, despite what people say about Texas (and they say a LOT :mrgreen:), Texans have no monopoly on peculiar pronunciation. Here in Pennsylvania, we have Dubois (DEW-boys), Versailles (ver-SAILS), and Yoghiogheny (YOCK-a-GAY-nee). And we won't even mention Ephrata and Pequea. :roll: And don't forg...

Re: 1st *Unofficial* DFW Wapsicon

I know some people named Dubois the way you pronounce it. :) Might be descendants of the same family. There was a brewery that made DuBois Budweiser beer when I was a kid, but I think it was named for the town, not run by the family. No idea whether the beer was any good. (A reminder that Budweiser...

Re: Spicy Stuff Recipe

Pickled beets are about the one and only food that I just can't stand. I dislike even just the smell of them. I think that's genetic. Not everyone can taste whatever compound has the objectionable flavor. My mother pickled hard-boiled eggs with beets, a 2- or 3-gallon bucket at a time. My sister an...

That one was good, too. Bud and Lou and Chico and Groucho and the rest of the crowd at the big speakeasy in Valhalla all approve.

Re: More Stuff

Are those vinyl tiles somewhat flexible, or does it give you a hardened surface to sit and roll your chair on? It is completely stiff while on the wood floor. That looks really good. I think the tiles would break up over time in an old house with uneven floorboards (like mine), but it's easily repl...
