Another post from Jean from March 26, 2009
as dim as it may be…
Hallelujah brothers and sisters,
it is now all right with me.
praise cheeses, hail madre’,
let’s go and sin no more.
mea culpa, take a gulpa.
don’t forget to wash your feet.
speak your tongues and flagellate,
shout the message far and wide.
no more sinners. no more sinners.
be good. let go. let guide.
I want to be as holy
as the neighbors up the street.
help me, help me lawdy.
this could take most of the week.
Amen. Amen. Amen I say to you.
Amen. Amen. Amen and genuflect.
Lettuce prey.

Jordan Pond House Best Popover Recipe
Traditionally served hot with butter and jam.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 cup whole milk
1 cup sifted all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Speck of baking soda
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°.
Sift and measure flour, salt and soda. Set aside.
Beat the eggs at high speed until lemon colored (2-3 minutes).
On slowest speed, very slowly 1/2 cup of the milk. Beat until well mixed.
Add slowly (with mixer going on slow speed) the dry ingredients. When mixed, stop beating.
Scrape sides of the bowl with a spatula.
Beat at medium speed and slowly add the remaining milk.
Beat 2 minutes.
Place well-greased muffin tin or popover pan into oven to warm up for five minutes.
Turn mixer to high speed and beat 5-7 minutes.
Batter should be smooth and about the thickness of heavy cream.
Pour batter through a strainer, and into well-greased, preheated muffin tins or popover pan.
Bake on the middle shelf of the preheated oven at 425° for the first 15 minutes.
Without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 350° and bake 15 – 20 minutes longer.
Popovers are best served at once, but may be kept in the warm oven for up to five minutes.
Serve immediately with butter and strawberry jam.

Done In By A Feral Animal
Up on my soapbox again – No, on second thought, no I won’t.
Jorge Arbaiza was killed at a Houston McDonalds with his wife and grandkids watching. Caught in a crossfire.
If you encounter a rabid animal, do not approach it and keep a safe distance. The immediate and most important action is to avoid any contact with the animal. Shooting is the first, quickest and safest option. The only weapon safe to use in populated areas is a 12 gauge shotgun, because of its low velocity. An adequate shell is a low brass target load with size 6 or smaller shot. If need be, contact local animal control or wildlife authorities for assistance in handling the situation.
RIP, Mr. Arbaiza … and I wish your story wasn’t so common.
Gas At Last
Or so it seemed once upon a time when Bishop was a spot in the middle of nowhere after a long stretch of driving through the deserts from three directions – or coming off the mountain from the fourth.
The western end of US6 – the longest continuous numbered highway in the US; this is a gas station in Bishop, California near the junction of US6 and US395. The gas station still exists but Bishop has been “discovered” since I was last there. Seems Giggle Springs has been discovered as well; the outfit has gotten fancy and there are several of these convenience stores now – including one in Tonopah..
Why is it “discovery” always seems to ruin a place?

I’d Like To Believe This Is True
I have no reason to believe it’s not.
