Creamed dried beef a childhood favorite. I had it a few years ago at an Amish lunch counter. Delicious

Comfort food from the past for sure
We also had a salt cod (it came in a wooden box) version as well.

Sounds yucky
I barely remember having it as a kid, so of course I too likely thought it was "yucky" indeed. As I understand the salted cod is soaked in milk to remove saltiness and to reconstitute it, amply rinsed then cooked in a cream sauce. I can see it served over toast or a baked potato.

I’m an Elk. It’s a great club.
When I joined about 20 years ago there were about 300 members. Now there are nearly 1000. We’re outstripping the facilities.
The great thing about the Elks is that among those 1000 members there’s only one jerk. One! That’s unprecedented in any organization I’ve been a part of.

I’ve been reading my way through B&B posts of the last week or so and, without going into any particulars, I’ve never read so much - - - - - - - - in all my life. Maybe it’s the mood I’m in.
I know, right?
Though I suspect it's far too late, a wise person once offered: “Watch your thoughts, lest they become words; watch your words, lest they become actions; watch your actions, lest they become habits; watch your habits, lest they become character; watch your character, lest it becomes your destiny.”
Being a stage four misanthrope myself, I don't really buy the character becoming destiny bit, and would suggest a better coda: "And if you're lucky, people will avoid you."
Don't underestimate the entertainment value of B&B posts. Sometimes it's kinda like Green Acres around here.
At just 3 months shy of my 61st I joined facebook and I ABSOLUTELY hate myself for it. I have always contended that "social media" is for the likes of 8th grade girls and that no self respecting adult with a modicum of education and intelligence would conduct themselves via such a medium. Then my wife admonishes me that the various fora I partake of ARE social media. Well, I'm OK with that because they are platforms for polite and civilized adult discussion and the exchange of meaningful and insightful ideas. (there may be a wink in there somewhere) Well, some more so than others.... Anyway, joining facebook had to be done and it was a VERY difficult concession for me to make. I offers a resource, (particularly a market place associated with a national organization) that I couldn't effectively access without joining. Because I'm keen to help my son acquire a desired bit of kit in an affordable way, I had to join. But I'm NOT happy about it!

It’s not so bad. Be careful what you post in a VERY public forum

I don’t do thought control. Self-censoring speech is a skill I need to work on.
I'm not planning on posting anything. Which shouldn't be difficult because FB has NEVER figured in my life until I recently stumbled on to that particular marketplace . I know, I know, famous last words.

Watched the miniseries “The Night Agent”. Not bad. It didn’t jump the shark until the last episode, which is very good by today’s standards. I particularly liked the ambiguously foreign female assassin, relentless and unstoppable (spoiler alert), almost.
Season 2 should be landing soon. Hope it is as enjoyable.

The wife and I made a wine and liquor run to Delaware. On the way we stopped at a Mexican grocery and picked up some Ibarra chocolate for hot cocoa. At home, heated up 2 mugs to enjoy on this bitterly cold day.
I looked out the window just seconds before reading your post and specifically thought of the word "bitter". I hate being trapped indoors like this, watching TV and looking at my phone.
Well...there's always the gym. And coffee, as I am no longer drinking anything more mood-altering than that.
And oh what a joy it is to see that blizzard-level nastiness taking shape over in Kansas today and inching it's way towards my beloved Rust Belt...

Clearly, Global Warming at work
Nah, "global warming" was a few weeks ago when we were getting 50s and 60s in December. When the snow and ice hits, it'll be "climate change".

Ah yes, but you’ll also get the explanation from an “expert” that the colder temps are caused by Global Warming, i.e. that the warming makes it colder. That’s right, warming makes it colder. And the naying donkeys will shake their heads in agreement and understanding.
I feel like Luke Skywalker when he just found out that Darth Vader is his father.
What little shaving knowledge I have acquired has been destroyed, just like the Death Star, both of them.

Open combs are not more aggressive than solid bar razors. I’ve never used a slant but I’ve never felt the need. I routinely use the Gillette slide.
