Morning OFC! Happy Moanday! Girls are screaming to be fed! Also a great day for a walk. I remember castor oil from those days....yuk!

I keep a bottle of castor oil - it helps get rid of warts. My granny teached me that when I was a little jasper.

You sure the washer pump is not clogged, hard to imagine that rug got through the pump

Judging by the ankle deep puddle in the drain room and the carpet debris I can see in the clean out I suspect it did.

Good morning everyone. Cleaning out my mommas place this week. Found the bottle of stuff my momma gave me once when I was sick that I thought was turpentine and sugar. Made me see bugs all over the walls. There is some left in the bottle. Do y’all know what this is?

Bring it to Hopper's pardee!

I think I'm the only one left on the planet that doesn't have an air fryer. lol

I dont. Looks like something that will be a mess that is difficult to clean. I used to have a counter top rotisserie cooker that I liked. Roast beef, a chicken or small turkey, worked great.

I have a large patch of it in my back yard
I always thought it was poisonous, but now I see the younger plants can be eaten at the right time of the year. I would not chance it unless I knew more about it myself.

I believe it is the berries that are poisonous. The young shoots are fine. I personally dont eat lawn weeds. Plenty to eat in the store or garden.

Paragoric is tincure of opium and that camphor in alcohol. It was available in my younger years, and I recall a recipe to rescue the opium. Tricky part was removing the camphor, I recall it being filtered, but not much else. May be another step or two? Then the alcohol was evaporated leaving the opium residue. Or you can just grow opium poppies, easier than weed. Cool find.

I made a rotisserie cooker out of a 100 gallon dump truck fuel tank, back in the mid-'80's. Cooked a lot of meat on that thing. Still have it, in fact - and your post reminds me I need to call up a buddy who's gonna help me rehab it - hopefully for next Spring. It needs a new stand (with wheels - I'm too old to lug it around by hand anymore), and a hole in the bottom that needs to be repaired.

My first of only two you tube videos...but this is the actual one I built.

Probably the camphor part. It tastes smells kind of like Mentholatum or something.

In a way, like cooking a brisket. All the work is prep.......and a lot of "watching" which I like. Can do a lot of gabbing and partying while the time goes by. Same with a still.

It's a pain to wrap up a pair of chickens, for sure. I also stuffed them with onions and mushrooms, and occasionally stuck some thin slices of ham and cheese under the skins. Boy oh boy oh BOY were they good on the table, though!
Worth the effort.

Used to have half of a large boiler that was cut in half. Perfect to hold three 16 gallon kegs! The house pride and joy. Have no idea where it is. Its last use by me was a big party we threw which was timed with one of Ali's big fights. Rumble in the Jungle?

A big frat house on the corner had a "mad dog" (yes, mad dog, dont ask me) party at same time. We were watching them climb their flag pole and slide down, to the rest of them clapping and cat calling. All was fine until one of them slid down and ripped his nut sack open on the little stick out you wrap the flag hoisting line on. Ouch!

The whole plant is actually toxic. Even the young shoots have to be boiled first to flush out the toxins.

Curious minds want to know; what's the latest and greatest meds that are working?

When I was a kid, the stuff was around like candy. Every flavor you could think of. Now that I really need it, POOF! It's gone.

Every time I think of the old time hash ,I cry.
