the mixture for top-ping; press remainder evenly over sides and bottom
of 9' glass pie plate, using fingers. Chill thoroughly while you make
1 envelope plain unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
3 eggs, separated

Not enough information. How far apart do the eggs have to be? I can do
a linear separation, one on the sink back, the other two at opposite
ends of the counter.

With three eggs, I can do a triangular format. Does that give better
results?

When a recipe says "3 eggs separated," it means you need to separate the
egg whites from the egg yolks. You'll end up with a bowl of egg whites
and a bowl of egg yolks. Each part will be used differently in the recipe.

This technique is often used in recipes that require different textures,
like light and fluffy meringues or rich and creamy custards.

Crack the egg: Gently tap the egg on a flat surface to avoid shell
fragments.

Separate the whites: Hold the egg over a bowl and carefully open it,
letting the whites fall into the bowl while keeping the yolk in one half
of the shell.

Move the yolk: Transfer the yolk back and forth between the shell
halves, letting all the whites drip into the bowl below. Make sure no
yolk gets into the whites, as it can affect whipping.

It’s a good idea to do this one egg at a time into a separate bowl first
to avoid any accidental yolk contamination or shell fragments.

Billboard Showing Kamala Harris Engaging in Sex Act Erected by Pro-Trump
Company in Ohio

https://www.latintimes.com/billboard-kamala-harris-sex-act-ohio-donald-trump-election-563811

"An Ohio advertising company has apologized after a billboard of a fake,
inappropriate image of Kamala Harris managed to be approved and put up
alongside a highway...

The billboard depicted the vice president on her knees with her tongue
out, and was reportedly seen by travelers heading westbound on Ohio 16
in Newark, Ohio. Next to Harris' image is a pro-Donald Trump billboard
that implied he was defending Americans...

The billboard, which had been up since at least last Friday, was removed
Sunday by Kennedy Outdoor Advertising after the company said it
initially thought the ad was referring to Harris as a "crybaby" and did
not pick up on the sexual message...

Harris was previously accused by former Fox News host Megyn Kelly of
"sleeping her way" into politics, as reported by Newsweek..."

Groan.

How far apart can spouses be? I do a lot of the cooking here but my
wife is not allowed in the kitchen when I am cooking. When we have
company for dinner she is welcome to provide input on the menu. She can
go in ahead of me to prepare salads, peel vegetables etc, but when it
comes to timing, turning burners on or off, moving hot things...... not
allowed. Sorry but I have had too much interference in the past,
turning on things long before they should be cooked, walking behind me
unexpectedly, suddenly appearing as I am moving a hot pan dump liquids
etc. I had tried to get her to sit down and stay out of the way but
that did not do the job, so she simply is not allowed in the kitchen
while cooking or near the table when I am delivering food to it.

i was once standing on the counter to help dust the
decorations up on top of the cabinets in the kitchen.
when i was done i said to Mom, "Don't move!" right as
i hopped down from the counter. at that moment she
decided to go to right where i was jumping. in mid-
air i was able to twist to not land on her but chest
planted on the hardwood floor. Was Not Happy is an
understatement... felt that for about six weeks.

You must have high ceilings.  We have about 5 feet between the
countertop and the ceiling.

to help dust the
decorations up on top of the cabinets in the kitchen.

Decorations on top of the cabinets?  Why?  Do people gaze up there
a lot?

I must be missing something.  This house does have high ceilings
(9'4") so 6 1/2 ft of clearance, but in 58 years of home
ownership, never had the desire to stand on the counter.

turning on things long before they should be cooked, walking behind me
unexpectedly, suddenly appearing as I am moving a hot pan dump liquids

that did not do the job, so she simply is not allowed in the kitchen
while cooking or near the table when I am delivering food to it.

never my idea to clean. i hate dusting. twice a year
for some spots. i personally don't care much at all if
there are spider webs here or there. i do care if there
are live spiders and once in a while i go around and try
to reduce their population but i can never get rid of
all of them and don't really want to anyways since they
do eat some of the other spiders. up until a few years
ago we didn't have a certain kind of spider in the house
at all but then it got established under the house and
since then they've made it upstairs to the inside of the
living space. i don't like to use bug sprays of any
kinds so they are here or there, but not too hard to
find as they have a distinct web and living habit so
once i see that arrangment i know there is one or a
couple in that space (a male and female sometimes hang
out together in the same sort of area).

i do find spiders interesting and try to learn about
those i have observed in the house and out in the
gardens. i've even adopted some spiders to use in
the worm buckets to help control fungus gnats. it's
worked out well.

The only spiders that I eradicate upon discovery are black widows in the
house. I even have a string spider-ladder in our unused bathtub, so they
won't starve to death in the tub if they blunder in.
My wife disagrees loudly with this philosophy, and I will eliminate the

Apropos of nothing, my 2nd grade teacher (in California) had a "pet"

My oldest brother (lives in Texas) was bitten by a brown recluse. He
was also diabetic. He would not go to a doctor. Kept saying he
couldn't afford it. His then live-in g/f called me in a panic. I said
call an ambulance! They can't refuse to treat him! The area around the
bite necrotized and he wound up having his leg amputated below the knee.
He continued to ignore his diabetes, too, even though I found a number
of free clinics in his area. A couple of years later he wound up having
his other leg amputated. He now lives in a nursing home. We still talk
on the phone. But things could have turned out very differently if he
(or his g/f) had simply hauled his ass to the hospital ASAP.

My son was bitten by a spider in Bolivia about 5 years ago. He thought
nothing of it at the time but it was getting worse and worse after he
got home. He went to a walk-in clinic and was prescribed antibiotics.
They didn't help. He made an appointment with his family doctor and was
prescribed more antibiotics.

One night he was headed home from an afternoon shift and popped in the
ER where we was treated by a doctor who had interned in an area where
brown recluse spiders live. He had surgery for it the next day. They had
to scoop out the flesh and then pull his wound closed. The massive scar
tissue required massage for months. It's all healed up now but he has a
very large and very ugly scar there now.

As your son found out, a bite from a spider is not something to be
ignored. I don't let spiders hang out in my house. There are a few
little harmless garden spiders that find their way in; I pick them up
and toss them outside. But sorry (songbird) I'll spray pesticides all
over the exterior to keep them from coming inside my house.

A couple of months after moving in, I went in the kitchen to find an
invasion of ants. In the sugar bowl, going up the wall to the cabinet,
etc. Called an exterminator and they come quarterly to spray outside.
Not a bug in the house since.

That is typical in Florida as we have a range of bugs. I choose not to
have them in my house, especially where food is.

Spider bites are the sort of thing we worry about here. Most spiders are
harmless and those that do bite are so mild they are little more than a
distraction. That's why my son didn't worry about it at the time. By the
time he got him it was like a small blister. He popped it and cleaned it
out but it just kept getting wider and deeper. By the time he went to
the hospital it was about the diameter of a quarter and about 1/8th inch
deep. Apparently those things have a necrotizing venom that eats away at
the flesh on top and just keeps working its way down.

One advantage to having (non venomous) spiders in the house is that they
trap and eat annoying insects like flies, mosquitoes and moths.

I wish they were big enough to deal with the more invasive stink bugs
that have been thriving here for the past few years.

spiders [...] tarantula [...] They're slow,

I saw a spider for a few seconds once that was so fast,
I'm sure that if it did not stop long enough for a
closer look, most would assume it to be a low-flying insect.

house. I even have a string spider-ladder in our unused bathtub, so they
won't starve to death in the tub if they blunder in.
My wife disagrees loudly with this philosophy, and I will eliminate the
problem, one way or another, when she's loud enough.
I used to let tarantulas walk on my arm to shock my buddies. I wish I
had a picture. October is tarantula migration season in Nevada.
Come one! Come all! They're slow, obvious in intent and almost harmless.
Bring a camera!

That is a very late migration, no?

Springtime in the southern deserts is the norm, but this has a uniquely
RFC angle to it:

Dr. Jason Bond, professor of entomology and nematology at UC Davis said
the emergence of tarantulas at this time of year is due to mature males
going on a deadly search to find a mate. The spiders are not unique to
Gabbs. They can also be found across the entire Southwest this time of year.

“So the females tend to have a home burrow from which they hunt,” said
Bond. “And the males do that for some time... and then he's going to
emerge from his burrow, go out and find a female and then and then he's
done. That's it. It’s [the] end of life for him.”

According to Bond males live about five to six years and then die after
mating, but the females have long life spans, of 20 or more years. He
also shares a spooky fact that doesn’t bode well for the males.

“Spiders are quite often cannibalistic. So she says, ‘Well, I’m not
gonna mate with you. But I think I'll go ahead and have you for dinner,’
” Bond said.

comes to timing, turning burners on or off, moving hot things...... not
allowed. Sorry but I have had too much interference in the past,
turning on things long before they should be cooked, walking behind me
unexpectedly, suddenly appearing as I am moving a hot pan dump liquids
etc. I had tried to get her to sit down and stay out of the way but
that did not do the job, so she simply is not allowed in the kitchen
while cooking or near the table when I am delivering food to it.

i was once standing on the counter

You must have high ceilings. We have about 5 feet between the
countertop and the ceiling.

yes, and it goes up even further as you go towards the
central fireplace - i've never measured it.

Cathedral ceiling?

yes, probably about 14 ft. much taller than i like
to get up on a ladder, but the years ago when we built
i was painting most of it twice or three times. the
room i'm in now off to the side has about an 8 ft
ceiling - i consider that much more reasonable, but i
still hate dusting.

to help dust the
decorations up on top of the cabinets in the kitchen.

Decorations on top of the cabinets? Why? Do people gaze up there
a lot?

never my idea to clean. i hate dusting. twice a year
for some spots. i personally don't care much at all if
there are spider webs here or there. i do care if there
are live spiders and once in a while i go around and try
to reduce their population but i can never get rid of
all of them and don't really want to anyways since they
do eat some of the other spiders. up until a few years
ago we didn't have a certain kind of spider in the house
at all but then it got established under the house and
since then they've made it upstairs to the inside of the
living space. i don't like to use bug sprays of any
kinds so they are here or there, but not too hard to
find as they have a distinct web and living habit so
once i see that arrangment i know there is one or a
couple in that space (a male and female sometimes hang
out together in the same sort of area).
i do find spiders interesting and try to learn about
those i have observed in the house and out in the
gardens. i've even adopted some spiders to use in
the worm buckets to help control fungus gnats. it's
worked out well.

Don't be too harsh on them, they eat insects! I have a spider in my
kitchen, Igor, and I've seen him 2 or 3 times capturing flies and dragging
them back to his little apartment in a small crack between a cupboard
and the wall. He does an excellent job at killing the flies. Natures own
bug spray!

Here is a recipe for pineapple cheese, refrigerator pie
Add sugar and melted butter, and mix well. Take out 3 tablespoons of
the mixture for top-ping; press remainder evenly over sides and bottom
of 9' glass pie plate, using fingers. Chill thoroughly while you make
1 envelope plain unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
3 eggs, separated

Not enough information. How far apart do the eggs have

to be?
Different kitchens, until the divorce lawyers settle
who gets custardy.
