Add chopped red bell pepper, spinach, garlic and water chestnuts to
that and it's fabbo.

I miss the asian market I used to go to back home...all the spices were
dead cheap. I was amazed. I got a HUGE box..about the size of a box of
tissues ...of red pepper flakes for $2.00, a large bag of whole nutmegs
(not the ground, the whole nut) for $3, also a large bag of whole star
anise. I made a lot of 5 spice powder fresh.

I agree, but I think the owner needs to be dealt with, not the dog. Or
at least not in that way. :-/

Around here the only time they will confiscate a dog is if it is outside
in freezing weather without shelter or doesn't have food/water etc.
Usually the morons with the barking dogs have food/water for the dog.

Obviously. Seems some people don't care. I'm not saying the
people should have killed the dog, just that I can see how that
happens.

While I don't think poisoning the dog is right or moral or would do it
myself. If you speak to the dog's owner, even if he complies and attemps
to train the dog, which won't happen. It doesn't stop the noise
immediately and forever. More likely it aggrevates it as the owner will
flaunt his supposed rights and make the dog bark even more. Calling the
police is useless. Killing the owner doesn't work as well, because the
police will go out of their way to find you. Killing the dog shows the
owner your displeaure and stops the noise quite readily at low risk to
you.

This is my point of view on the whole thing. I work nights and all day
the kids at the school across the street scream and yell so I know how
noise screws up your sleep and irrates you. And no I haven't even
considered poisioning them. But those teenagers who play basket-ball to
the wee hours have had some nasty things said about them.

Those are dried garlic, not fresh.

All of a sudden everyone claims to grow their own garlic, but none can
prove it... all full of doodoo.

AFAIK Garlic taken right from the growing plant is harvested then taken
to a drying room and allowed to dry slightly till the few outer layers
dry out and form a skin. The same goes for some onion types.

How can people prove it?
You can't post actual plants to the usernet!

I know lots of people like the onion-soup-mix-and-sour-cream dip but
it's so yesterday. When I and some friends were planning a "1960s
party" for a fundraiser, and we were thinking about food from that era,
this dip is the first thing that came to mind. Jello salads were next.

Eeeyyyuu. following fashions in cooking is nearly as bad as following
fashions in thought. Shallow and grasping, Peter. A sign of deep-seated
insecurity.

I do a lot of things particularly BECAUSE they are "so yesterday."

I've never driven an SUV, never wanted to, and never had a Starbuck's
coffee except once and someone else bought it without asking me.

I have good wall insulation and run a fan next to my bed.
That drowns out even most traffic noise.

I work nights. Period. No other shifts at this time unless I'm needed
for an occasional (rare) vacation spot. My shift is too hard to cover so
they seldom ask. ;-)

We have a dog like that in the neighborhood, his yard house meets our back
yard and his owners and sadistic idiots that never play with him and tie him
so that he will not "ruin the grass." It is that bored, hollow kind of bark
they do, in rounds of three? I have always lived in cities, so after a
while, I just don't hear it. A large HEPA filter by my bed helps too. (Like
you, I often sleep during the day after working late into the night.)

That sounds pretty good, and pretty convenient. I wonder if the garlic
retains its nutritional/medicinal properties?

If you cannot recognize tongue-in-cheek humor, then I suggest that you
go to the morgue and ask to borrow a brain.

Let me also point out that doing things because they are "yesterday" is
no different from NOT doing things for that reason - two sides to the
same coin.

I hesitate to ask you what Starbucks and SUVs have to do with this
discussion. I suspect it is related to the morgue/brain thing.

The worst thing is, when I dog barks like that, he is unhappy. Boring a dog
to death is cruel. Many of the dogs that bark that way are tied, too, and
tied too short.
