Food for thought- Building extreme hunger

[gandalfthegrey]

Yes I know them, off hwy 41 on the western slopes of the Sierras.  I acually spent a few years prospecting in your neighborhood.  I worked that whole area starting in Mariposa all the way up to the Feather river near Quincy.  60s and early 70s.  Did alright.  Wish I had it at today's prices.  Still love all of that area when I can get there.  But I now pack mostly eastern area from Kennedy to Red's meadow. I do it on horseback.  Makes it easy to get away from everyone really quick.  Can go for 3 -4 weeks and only see the ranger who checks on us every 2 weeks.

That's cool -- It's still supposed to be there at least 80% of it -- just harder to find.

Just read this in some mining history - I've  had them at restaurants but didn't know they had parsnips in them - or were supposed to.

As a token of gratitude to the helpful Tommyknockers, the miners often left behind pieces of their traditional lunch of Cornish meat pasties, a meat pie comprised of beef, onions, parsnips, and potatoes covered by a flaky crust.

The last truly good ones I had were in England a long time ago.    I couldn't tell you what was in them for sure but they were excellent.

This thread has been quiet for a while. Any good recipes lately?

Unfortunately I'm not much help. Dr. told me to lay off the lipids and get my cholesterol down.

We had zuccini lasagne tonight(rice instead of pasta) ... yesterday we had rainbow pepper fajitas... Tomorrow we are having portabella burgers.

Upset me when I saw the topic. The first thing that went through my mind was a line from a horror movie:

He's Back!

Hi Mike, I think most of us use the What's for Dinner topic.
