Here's a little something my mother told me when I was a young man;
"There are two things you do not discuss in mixed company or in public; religion and politics."
I have always remembered this, and tried to live by it. For the most part, I have kept to that notion while writing here at Rantrave.

So I have a challenge for you all.

Do not write any rants or raves about religion or politics for one whole day.

I guarantee you cannot do it. If you all did, three quarters of the top 10 authors would drop in the standings. Rantrave would be a ghost town, and that's not the idea. I challenge you to write about something other than the big two.

If we get lucky, Cypress might give us a late Christmas present and post another BBQ recipe.

Try it. Let January 1st be "Dull day", and we can all take the day off from being argumentative.

Peace, and Happy New Year.

I still like the S.O.S. recipe. Let me see what I can find. B-B-Q does not work very well in 4 feet of snow. I don't suggest trying any of my B-B-Q suggestions indoors. Well, I don't suggest it to most of you folks....

16 months ago: My father in law made the deep fried turkey. My wife and I did the rest. Best damn turkey I ever had. On a funny note, my sister in law is a vegan, so we had deep fried turkey sitting next to a tofurkey (tofu turkey). Now that was a strange meal.
16 months ago: I had to do a double-take on that one. tofurkey. I wonder how it passed the word censor? Exaxtly how is it pronounced? TOFUrkey or toFURKEY? Was it pressed into a shape of a turkey or a furkey?

16 months ago: I was told it's pronounced "toe"- "fur"-"key". Go figure.
16 months ago: Now this leads to another question. Here I go again.

If we were to live off of eating grass why are our legs longer than our arms? What about our necks? Not exactly the best design for the task.

Can anyone explain why we have canine teeth? They are not used for chewing cud.
16 months ago: Great picture... and Rant! I hope you had a great Holiday season!!!
