The world has already forgotten woebegone Dominica. Mainstream media and its automatons with their three second attention span have put it out of their collective minds.


The island has been all but obliterated.


Waterfront property is cheap, eh?

It always has been. The water's a tad warmer than yours.

Communications have not been restored and, until service is resumed, you cannot fly in. For the foreseeable future, the only way to get there is by boat or ferry from Guadeloupe or Martinique.

The wikipedia entry for Dominica:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominica


Among the wealth of information therein appears the following:

"...The Commonwealth of Dominica offers an official and legally mandated economic citizenship to those seeking a valid second passport. The nationality law of Dominica authorises the government to waive the normal requirement of seven years of legal residence to acquire citizenship in exchange for a cash contribution. Total costs excluding all fees for a single applicant are US$100,000, with a discount for additional passports for spouses and children. Alternatively, since 2014, applicants can make a US$200,000 real estate investment, in which case the cost of citizenship is US$50,000. According to officials, the citizenship programme was an economic and fiscal "lifeline" in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Erika, and its new investment option had become the main source of Foreign Direct Investment into Dominica by early 2016. The Dominica passport holders can travel without a visa, or obtain a visa upon entry, to over 100 countries and territories, including the United Kingdom and the Schengen zone..."




 
Always.


I cook the bacon in a jelly roll pan. I put a small pot lid in the oven to slant the pan so that the fat drains away from the bacon.

I am a convert. I'll never do it any other way now. It was awesome. Easy. Tasty. In fact better than the griddle.

And that's a good idea.

I'm in Wisconsin now.

Cheese. :D

I'd like to try cooking bacon and drying my sox in the oven at the same time. My husband wants to powdercoat small car parts in the oven.

Should we do all three and save gas?

No. :eek:

My husband gets mad when I don't read the fine print on cans. He says Chinese food is bad for us. But Chinese canned food is cheaper. Some Chinese cereal has real corn and wheat in it.

I've been a label reader for a couple decades now. But I don't get Chinese food in a can. Aldi's has some good Chinese in the frozen section though. Just have to watch out for that damn sugar.

Years ago I drank coffee from a cup that my young husband put semen in.

Just as long as it didn't have coffee in at the same time. Don't bastardize the coffee. :eek: ;)
 
The mutts are happy even though it was already hot when we got there.

I'm not as the ac is on the fritz, and it's 87 and climbing. I would stay in the bath all day if I didn't have a 2:00.

kitchen table to eat

and then we had breakfast :cool: watching H scramble eggs and grill rolls for the homemade jam made me smile. his butt is white compared to the rest of him :D
 
be careful around the frying pan!

if you need a new pair of oven mitts for christmas, just let us know.
 
I want to try cooking bacon in the oven. Has anyone done that? It looks easier.

I've seen the rest, so I know you've discovered the wonder of cooking bacon in the oven. I cook mine at a lower temperature, 350 or 375, because I prefer the way the fat renders at the lower temperature.

The instructions for Wright bacon, I believe, have the temp at 350, which may be why I started doing that. It's been a while, so the specifics are a bit fuzzy.


Especially Wright's applewood smoked bacon. They instruct you to oven cook.

Best bacon you can buy in the supermarket. Around here, anyway.

I am a baconovenist convert. :cool:

I may have to try that. The lower temp. I don't know about Wrights. I was mighty disappointed for the money they want for it. I expected more. Maybe if it's on sale I'll try it.

You know I'm very conflicted about this.

I hope now that I've woken up that you have finished

Chapter 13- done, I might want to do a little touch up.

Now, I need to do something more lighthearted, so we are going to go see IT tonight. :D

I don't think we have the same idea of what is lighthearted. ;)
