Hi Dave,


 RH> My wrist isn't flexible so life is more of a challenge. We went over to
 RH> a local cafeteria for lunch after church today. I got beef tips over
 RH> so went with the pie. No knife or spoon needed for the meal.

 DD> I can sort of understand immobilising the wrist. When you bend the
 DD> wrist the tendons pull on the knuckls. And that might cause problems.

True; I go to therapy for the first time today. We'll see what he
reccommends I do to start gently exercising the finger.


 DD> The company which makes Texas Pete is being sued by the state of Texas
 DD> for being owned/made in North Carolina and using "Texas" in their
 DD> name.

 RH> I thought it was an individual that brought the suit. A waste of time,
 RH> IMO.

 DD> You are correct. I was told it was Greg Abbott or Ted Cruz who got
 DD> that ball rolling. And since that was a plausible assumption I didn't
 DD> fact
 DD> check the story. Turns out it's not even a Texan who has instigated
 DD> the lawsuit but some clown from Los Angeles, Califunny.

 DD> That looks pretty frivolous to me. And while it serves to give a
 DD> politician something to do it wastes the time of the judicia; system.

And anyone else involved.

 DD> It's still frivolous though.

Agreed.


 DD>       Title: Prudence Penney's Pork Knuckles
 DD>  Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Herbs, Beer
 DD>       Yield: 2 Servings

 RH> Hmmm, maybe something to try, but probably beef stock as the liquid.

 DD> If not using the beer (and I'm sure you wouldn't) stick with the water
 DD> or use pork stock if you have it. I fear the beef would cause a change
 DD> of flavour and not for the better.

 DD> Here's on that doesn't call for brewski:

Might be for the good, gon't know until we try.


 DD>       Title: Crispy Pork Knuckle (Czech Veprove Koleno)
 DD>  Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Herbs
 DD>       Yield: 2 servings

 DD>       4 lb (2 kg) Pork knuckle; raw,
 DD>            - w/skin-on

First, find the knucle--not a common item in today's supermarkets.
