Vanillarose | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 11:11 am     After seeing all the discussion here about frying turkeys, I'd like to echo Conejo and remind everyone that turkey fryers are very dangerous! I saw a turkey fryer demonstration, and it went up in huge flames faster than you can blink! Be extra, extra careful, everyone! The naked turkey above is too much! LOL!!! Way too funny! |
Max | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 11:19 am     Woops! I saw "Turkey" and didn't notice "Roll"! LOL I've never had a fried turkey, but I know folks who do that with great success. Seems odd to me to take a wonderful, low-fat meat and deep fry it. |
Weinermr | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 12:44 pm     I've never met a turkey fryer, but once I knew a real turkey who was a member of the Elks. (Juju, not even I know what I'm talking about) |
Misslibra | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 12:48 pm     Juju, he was talking about the turkey's breast enhancements. Everyone is getting them now even turkeys. LOL Seems odd to me to take a wonderful, low-fat meat and deep fry it. I thought it was odd to when I first heard someone talking about frying a turkey. Ribs is another thing I would find odd to fry. |
Babyruth | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 12:55 pm     My brother in law has one of those deep fryers for turkeys and LOVES it. Says the bird is really juicy. |
Nicoleme | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 01:15 pm     We have a turkey fryer. it is alot quicker than baking it like you normaly do and it is really moist, the skin is nice and crispy to which is an added bonus. i saw them at wal-mart today for $49. but then you have to buy the oil for it. disposing of the oil is the hard thing for us here (maine) our local transfer station (dump) wont take it. the guy actually asked me when i took it there if i knew anyone that baited bear, and to give to them...uuuhhh no, i dont. so its still sitting in our garage in a 5 gallon pail. i think you can use the oil a couple of times, but we wanted to steam lobster in it so we needed to get rid of the oil. it works really well for lobster to! just my 2 cents.. |
Whoami | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 10:35 pm     Hmmmmm....seems like I was missed here in this thread. Juju wondered where I was and came looking for me in my folder. So, in honor of Juju...... Why is the sky blue?  |

Twinkie | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 11:35 pm     My hubby is a master at smoking meats and especially turkeys. He has a very large smoker and his secret is to keep the pan of water in the bottom for the 1st few hours and use wonderful wood such as plum and apple for the flavor. Then after several hours of slow smoking he takes the water pan out to let the meats brown. Everyone loves his smoked meats! They are amazing! Very moist and tender and delicious! |
Nightcrawler | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 03:30 pm     I FOUND THIS ON NASA.COM Solar Wind speed: 429.0 km/s density: 19.3 protons/cm3 AND I WAS WANTING TO KNOW HOW FAST 429.0 km/s is in mph. I have NO idea how to convert it to mph. I was just woundering how wind space is? can someone help me |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 03:44 pm     1.6 km/h = 1 mph so 160 km/h is 100 m/h 1 km/s = 60 km/h 429 km/s = 25,740 km/h 25,740 km/h = 16,087.5 miles/h |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 03:59 pm     The speed of sound is about 760 miles/h. That makes the solar wind moving at about Mach 13. (13 times the speed of sound) |
Nightcrawler | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 04:02 pm     thanks lance that was so easy I should have know it all a long (ya right ) but I know if anyone would know it lance would and thank you again lance. I guess space is really windy!!!!! |
Bob2112 | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 04:13 pm     Hey lance! There are 3600 seconds in an hour, not 60. So you need to multiply your final answer by 60. (1 km/s = 3600 km/h) I was too lazy to do the math, so I searched for an online conversion page. I got an answer of 959,645.669 miles/hour, which is approximately 60 times your answer. Space just got more windy!!!!!  |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 04:27 pm     Ok, so I figured it for a minute--wow, that will teach me to try something like that while working--sigh. Sorry about that NC! Using my other mathwork above, and Bob's great observation I can't convert seconds to hours correctly--LOL, I got 965,250 mile/h, or Mach 791. I think the space between my ears got windy! |
Teatime | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 06:24 pm     Wow! Takes your breath away just thinking about that one!! Great question, NC. |
Heyltslori | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 02:12 pm     How is it that I get email every once in awhile that looks like it's from me? I mean...it really appears to be from my email...but it's just spam. I don't get it...I thought everyone's email address was unique to them. ??? any ideas? |
Bob2112 | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 08:13 pm     Lori, the from part of an email has nothing to do with who it came from. Programs for sending bulk mailings (or spam) can provide anything they want as the "From" address. Quite often it is your email address. I guess they feel people may be more inclined to read an email from themselves. As a consideration, most people provide a valid email address in their mail configuration. This allows your recipient to respond using the reply button. |
Heyltslori | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 08:26 pm     Thanks Bob... I didn't know that was possible. |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, December 10, 2002 - 02:46 am     OK.. Here's a dumb question.. I am looking for a lock set for my front door. I want the lock to be the kind that the knob stays locked from the outside at all times, and you can still turn the inside knob, without unlocking it. Does that sense? The only ones my DH seems to find are the sets that you have to unlock from the inside to turn the knob and open the door. Then the kids never turn it back, thus leaving the house unlocked when they leave for school in the morning. This REALLY irritates me. It shouldn't be a hard thing to find, yet for us it is. (I sent him once before about a year ago, and now our new door just came with the type of lock I don't want.) Is there a special name for this type of lock, or am I completely losing my mind? Thanks for the help (I hope.. ) |
Teatime | Tuesday, December 10, 2002 - 05:30 am     Mygetaway: I have that kind of lock so they were manufactured at least once upon a time. Mine was already in place when I bought the house so hard telling how long it's been there. I hope you're able to locate one. I like it for the exact reason you gave: kids leave, the door's locked. The downside is I have locked myself out just stepping out to do yardwork and no key in my hand. I still prefer that type though. |
Whoami | Tuesday, December 10, 2002 - 10:51 am     I got a lock just like that from Wal-Mart within the last year. I don't know what type it was. It just happened to be that type when I installed it. Teatime's right, you have to be really careful not to lock yourself out when you go to get the paper, mail, etc! |
Kady | Tuesday, December 10, 2002 - 11:19 am     My parents had a lock like that. My Dad was a sleepwalker and a few times walked out in his sleep. We would get awakened by the doorbell and my Dad would be standing there in his underwear. |
Wargod | Tuesday, December 10, 2002 - 11:22 am     LOL, Kady! That is funny! |
