Morning Kev!

Last night I watched a video about the history of Geauga Lake Park. It was one of my customers in my youth. We took care of all of the concession cash registers. Last time I was there was in the late 70s or maybe early 80s when my brother was servicing the park. I think I'm glad I never saw what came later. I liked the park because it was so laid back. I didn't really care for the SeaWorld much when it was built. It was just missing something, oh I know, an ocean. It's hard to believe Geauga Lake was the largest, by area, amusement park in the world for a while. That's just nuts.

In case I stop by, I like most omelettes. But my favorites always have a good portion of cheese and either bacon, ham, or sausage, or better yet all three in them and smothered with Original Cholula or Jimmy's Juice with a side of salsa.

Grew up going to Geauga, in fact one of my wife and I’d first date was there. Unlike you I loved Sea World, it broke my heart when it moved. Took the kids a few times when they were little before it went under.
 
Good morning fellow crazies!
I’m sorry about what you all are facing Amanda. I’m also having a very difficult week with family drama. Try to go outside and work in the garden or something

Good morning Jill, sorry to hear!

A friendly reminder John from a concerned yankee, toss your eggs!

Wash the shells and wash your hands and you'll most likely be just fine. Typically the salmonella is on the outside, not in the egg "meat".
 
Sorry. I had to send my laptop off for repairs and I’m trying to use an iPad (which I hate!!!) so you won’t be hearing much out of me until I get it back. Don’t know why this dumb thing will only let me give a blue thumb on everything! Since that is not always appropriate, I’ll refrain!

In fairness to SeaWorld, I only went to it a few times and always after an exhausting morning at Geauga Lake plus I had to pay to get in.
 
Raw eggs are fine if you wash the shells and your hands.
Good thing, washing the yolks and whites is hard, kind of like trying to give a sponge bath to an eel.
 
Ok, don't knock it till you've tried it?

Cheesy Mac and Kimchi, Dragon Style.

Kraft Mac and Cheese bowl, a tablespoon of kimchi, 2 teaspoons of Red Curry Paste, and several splashes of Jimmy Juice. A magnificent explosion of flavor and a good heat backup. The cheesiness of the Mac, the sour umami of the kimchi, the sweet heat of the Jimmy Juice, and the extra depth of heat and flavor of the curry paste make this dish a 12.3 out of 10!
