    (bart simpson voice) The exports of Libya Iraq are numerous in amount. One thing they export is corn, or as the Indians called it, "maize". Another famous Indian was Crazy Horse. In conclusion, Libya Iraq is a land of contrasts. Thank you.

    joking aside, sorry about America.

    I just did some drumsticks last night.

    before you start, make sure you have a tin can or glass jar for oil disposal.

    soak your meat in buttermilk for several hours. shake with heavily seasoned flour. <- this is where your "recipe" will come in. Salt, pepper, whatever kind of herb mix you like. allow to rest for a while so the flour sticks. preheat oven to 350°F in a large frypan put in enough oil for about an inch of depth. don't use olive oil. vegetable oil is fine, others will give a different taste. other common ones are peanut oil and crisco shortening. heat the oil over medium-high until it is around 375°F fry chicken in batches until brown. turning pieces after 3 or 4 minutes when the pieces are brown all over, put each on a rack over a sheet pan (or just a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper) bake chicken until done to 165°F, maybe 20 minutes

    you can also do "oven-fried" which isn't quite the same, but gives good results without the mess of the oil.

    They thought it was over and gave the "all clear" so I was going between buildings starting equipment back up and I looked at the sky and the clouds were going 2 different directions at about 100 mph. went inside and saw the debris cloud out the window and thought: "yeah it's time to get in the shelter now"

    the track was also about 1 1/2 blocks from my house. I lost about 10 shingles off my roof. down the street, the neighbor had the whole roof peeled off his house like the lid of a tin can.

    they really do sound like a freight train rumbling down the track.

    also it sucked a bunch of air out of the building so that all the closed doors made a howling noise.

    Smoke Detector False Alarms?

    My house is pretty new, 5 years old. It has interconnected smoke alarms in every room (11), as required. I believe they are all First Alert brand. We have been getting false alarms from them about every 3 months. Most of them are in the middle of the night which isn't fun for me, and really terrifies my kids (6 & 8). There is no apparent cause, no cooking is going on, no dust. They go off for a while and stop on their own. Some of these are CO detectors, but we had the Fire Department come out when it happened one time and they tested and everything was fine. When they are going off, I can't find the one that is causing it because they are all going off. However, on these the "ready" light blinks red if it has been triggered in the past, and every one of the units has triggered based on that. I actually permanently removed one because it triggered 3 times in one night. I thought it was a bad unit, but it just happened again at 5 this morning with a different one. Nobody has died in this house, so I'm pretty confident it's not ghosts (/s) Anyone have suggestions?

    This year's peppers and tomatoes.

    Someone dumped their extras on us and I don't have a plot dug, so in some buckets they go. I have grown Romas and Habaneros in double-bucket self-watering planters before, but I didn't have enough buckets this year. This is only half of the plants we got, I passed the rest on to my parents. They are: 2x Serranos, a Jalapeno, a Sweet Black Hungarian, and a Bell pepper. Also 2x "heirloom mix" tomatoes, 1 Roma, 2x Abe Lincoln and a mystery tomato .
