How to control prices. The current president nor any president shouldn’t be blamed for inflation. No sir! This is done solely by the manufacturer or store where product is sold. So why do people believe the president raises or lowers the price on goods sold. Nope. Not at all. The president doesn’t work for GeneralContinue reading “Do you really need that?”

Put butter in it and roll it up.
No nothing like it. We were residence on Simmons Avenue in East Los Angeles. Speaking for myself, I lived there for an approximate ten years. Then we moved further east into a quaint and quiet but mostly dull suburb. But back to Simmons Avenue in East L A, next door to the north of usContinue reading “Put butter in it and roll it up.”
A very nice looking bank ROBBER
More than folk lore? Maybe this is American History but I consider it just dark cloud Americana and hardly that. However, this is what was told me by my mother. She was a person born in the early 20th century in southern rural Oklahoma. But here is the caveat, my mom sometimes was given toContinue reading “A very nice looking bank ROBBER”
I will take another slice with pepperoni.
A Pizza Story. I first began to visit this place when I was in junior high in the late 1950s. I would ride with my friend and his parents. They called it pizza. The restaurant was called Deluca’s. But they mostly had pizza and some other ordinary pastas and salads. The pizza was in aContinue reading “I will take another slice with pepperoni.”
What a cool place to work Pops.
posted by Chuck Ayers The oil refinery. My dad told people he would meet he worked as a night supervisor at an oil refinery. However the oil he spoke of was soy bean vegetable oil. That and shortenings and margarines. Most of which went to large commercial bakeries. During world war II a bigContinue reading “What a cool place to work Pops.”
The wrong size pot.
Back off the road again. I have returned to our Cohousing community. There is one thing missing from all the places I recently visited while traveling hither and yon. In hotels, restaurants, people’s houses and other toileting venues. It is my highboy toilet. Yes, a toilet fitted for old people. All the places IContinue reading “The wrong size pot.”
I graduated from the Chef Boyardee school of pizza making.
You work with what you got. In my early days of learning to cook, improvisation was the key. If you do not have the correct items as specified on a recipe, then improvise. Right? Well I would try to come close to the recipe as possible. That was my mantra as a 12-year-old. NeverContinue reading “I graduated from the Chef Boyardee school of pizza making.”
A one word vocabulary.
Awesome. Pardon my sarcastic judgement but I am often amused when eating out at some restaurants. It is almost entertaining when some female waitperson serve our table. It seems like most female servers wait on our table they speak with a little girl tone, I would guess, a full octave above their normal speakingContinue reading “A one word vocabulary.”
It’s no fair fudging
You can’t fudge with this. She would take a stick of real butter and my mom would smear the grade A butter around in the bottom of her large shallow serving dish. What would happen after cooking up the fudgy mix is pour the thick mixture in to the buttered serving dish, then placeContinue reading “It’s no fair fudging”
Don’t be chicken
Fried chicken was the main event on our Sunday after church dinner table. It was a team effort between my mom and my dad. At our residence in East Los Angeles we raised dozens of chickens in our middle yard. Dozens of Rhoade Island reds. We probably raised about forty or fifty hens and twoContinue reading “Don’t be chicken”
