And while you’re at it, please post a recipe for no carb pizza. Thanks.

“I’ll fire up the BBQ and serve “minute” ribeye steaks with salad fresh native corn on the cob and sweet potato fries for lunch around our pool.”

During the hot summer times, when it’s too uncomfortable to eat around our pool, we will dine inside in cool comfort and have Jeeves our butler grill for us.

I don’t care for Starbucks brewed retail or otherwise, but I like the VIA Columbia.

M’ikor hadin, it would be permitted to ride in a car, bus and subway.

For the most part, I gave up on brewed coffee once I discovered VIA Instant Columbia, also it’s ok for Pesach. The best price is at Costco.

There is no universal best way to make minute steak or roast. Of course, most depends on whether the meat is imported which is very lean (natural pasture, South America) or American which is marbled (grain finished).

For broiling or grilling steaks, you must use American beef unless the meat is marinated for a day or two. Otherwise, you will get a tough and tasteless result. And you will be throwing away money and thinking the fault lies with you.

The thinner front part of minute roast is best for steaks and roasts since it has very little gristle. Buy the whole roast and slice it yourself for steaks. For best enjoyment, peal off (use a sharp knife) the outer membrane which covers the meat before marinating or spicing. (I store any meat meat or chicken trimmings in the freezer and use it when cooking up a soup). Cut the back part of the minute roast (with thicker gristle) into cubes and use for stew, cholent, or grind for hamburger meat.

Another method where I have also had very good results: first spice the minute roast (coat the meat with oil so spices will adhere to the meat and for flavor) and then roll the flat roast into a cylinder shape and tie several times with twine. The baked roast slices beautifully. You can also use a tightly packed soup bag for similar results.

I store spiced roast in a gallon size baggy with spices and oil for a while. Bake uncovered with the remainder oil and spices, turn meat, and remove when meat thermometer reads about 130 degrees. PERFECT.

Baking uncovered is also good for silver-tip/shoulder and rib roast.

“I follow art a bit and nobody says that”

Are you certain?

Whose worse, Y’rovom ben N’vot or Kozbi bas Tzur?

Hitler, y’mach sh’mo, was a good artist.

Here we go again.

In a few years? Worrying about it now is a waste.

Rashi in parshas B’reishis writes “???????????”, ?????????? ????????.

Which one is correct quote?

Americans having dark brown eyes account for only 25% of the population. Stands to reason that most USA presidents do/did not have dark eyes.

smc – It is and it isn’t.

The arrival of Moshiach will be announced to the entire world populations at once and instantly via the Internet.

I guess everyone has different tolerance levels but coin noise in shul does not bother me that much.

But I do have other pet peeves concerning rudeness and insensitivity to a shul holiness.

I’ll mention three: Not returning s’farim to the shelves; leaving your nasty dirty tissues on the table (even for a moment); bringing or wearing your coat in shul. You would hopefully not do any of these things in your own home; let alone in G-d’s home.

Only those Ashkenazic poskim who were part of the original kitnios g’zeira (about 600-700 years ago) were permitted to determine which foods would be part of the g’zeira; we cannot do it on our own.

This is why we are safe with potato starch even though it’s more like flour than mustard seed (kitnios) yet perfectly ok. Those Ashkenazic Rabbonim never ate potatoes and, therefore, did not experience potato starch to make a g’zeira.

Another example: Rav Moshe zt”l held that peanuts were never part of the kitnios g’zeira mesorah, so he permitted peanuts on Pesach.

When I was young, peanut oil was THE oil used on Pesach by everyone. Whatever happened to that? Today no kashrus agency would put a hechsher on Pesach peanut oil. Why? Because they would be accused of all kinds of nasty things. Enough said.

Mod 42; not really. Carlebach had a few chasunah tunes but I don’t think he was doing weddings 30-40 years ago as singers do them today. If he did, Carlebach would not have been living in the abject poverty he was subjected to. About twenty five years ago, he was involved with some weddings in Israel for baalei t’shuva and mass weddings of Russians in Efrat, but not money makers like today’s singers.

Anyone know around when did wedding singers become part of the frum wedding? It’s a relatively new thing. Do all weddings now have these singers?

Does the government have to return to Madoff all the income tax he paid for his inflated nonexistent income? Also, did the government return the tax overpaid by Madoff investors for their nonexistent income?

If alone in the car, some are able to be more focused on davening while driving, than when not. It’s not for everyone.

I never found thrips hiding behind or under strawberry seeds after washing very fresh strawberries. Whole Foods carries super fresh produce.

Joseph, follow your Rav’s behavior. Have you seen him drunk on Purim? If he does not get drunk on Purim, ask him what his heter is; and let us know.

To W3DCB:

I see you just joined the CR yesterday in order to post your rambling retort.

I would be delighted to read your post but just looking at it gives me a headache.

Next time, could you break it up a little for us?

Thanks.

Fixed it for you-29

There is an unwritten social contract: we both dig our cars out; I can park in your spot and you can park in mine. Expand that rule to include an entire city and you have social order. It’s not going to be totally fair but it’s the best we have; like taxes.
