“Okay, Sycamore get-together – before or after xmas?
I’m there on the 17th but I think Mrs Chicken and the Egg would like my company for at least one evening so 18th onwards is cool with me!
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever spent xmas in NY. Does it stay busy right the way through or are there quiet days when everything closes?”
Very good, Godfather, I’ll check on people’s availability after the 18th. (Though I can’t believe you’d choose to see your wife and the Egg before the PLUSAs.)
I think things pretty much stay busy all the way through the holidays. If I’m not mistaken, the recent trend is that stores stay open 24 hours Christmas Eve (none of this midnight closing nonsense) and are also open Christmas Day, which, as a Christmas-loving Jew, I find positively blasphemous (my word of the day).
do you ever make quick dumplings by cutting up flour tortillas and soaking them in clear broth? i learned this from my former mother-in-law who also told me that when she was too exhausted from work to make dinner she would buy takeout, plate it and boil an onion in the kitchen to make it smell like she had been cooking.
This one is more traditional potatoes, carrots, celery, onions etc. with a nice thick gravy. One of the best parts is that she always bakes dumplings on the top of the stew pot. She didn’t since she was bringing it here they’d have just gotten too soggy during their travels. I’ll mix some up and throw them on top when I heat it back up tonight.
“but always give money to minority kids playing classical music of any kind.”
MM, I guess you don’t give out too much money. lol. I know, bad comment, but I can’t recall to many of them! I know they exist, but I think their mothers keep a close eye on them!
“I’ve told them right to their faces, “You’re too young to beg for money.””
That’s right, ENY. When you’re that young you should be selling ass. Much more lucrative, and the opportunity doesn’t last long.
“i will always give $ to someone with a pet though:
That always cracks me up, G10. I’ve seen women give money to homeless dudes with a animal and tell them straight up to buy petfood with it!
“Most annoying subway people are the proseltyzers. I cringe at their rants.”
That’s right IJ. Not only don’t I want to hear your shit you won’t just run a hustle and then move to the next car! You gotta get in my ear for several stations and the subway is where I do most of my reading!
Actually, my favorite thing, when I drive back from LI in the summer, down Atlantic, is to see the lil’ kid water sellers. Sometimes I like to buy a bottle and give them a ten and tell them to move on. They run like I’m going to chase them for my change. lol.

Bizarrely, it’s maintained by a non-Amish person so no rules are broken.

Although without being able to use electricity, it then begs the question of who is reading it?
“CGar, do you have your bike licence yet? If not then I’ll do it with you!”
You’ll only do it with guys with a motorcycle license? I have one!

Rob, sometimes your posts are most enjoyable with any understanding of the context.
I’ll have to try that one day.

They probably have hand generators. I would pay to see a laptop attached to one of those….with a wifi USB.
