   Cooking dry hominy with quicklime

   May 27, 2019 by DoomsDave

   Howdyall: i have some dried corn to use in Mexican food and the already cooked canned hominy is so salty my doctor might get a heart attack if she finds out I'm using it. So, I'm using quicklime, which has no sodium in it and I want to nixtamalicize the corn. But, how much quicklime to use in how much water? Recipes are all all over the place, and the common comment is just buy some canned, or use "lightly salted water." NO! I guess I can experiment, but if anyone here knows, I'd appreciate any thoughts! I'm also using both dark and light corn, any difference in the amount of lime? Thanks!

   Man in Brazil killed by cow through his roof

   How's this for a kick in the head? A Brazilian man has died after a 3000-pound cow crashed through the roof of his house and crushed him, according to local reports. Joao Maria de Souza was sleeping with his wife when the animal plunged through the corrugated asbestos shelter of his home in Caratinga in south-eastern Brazil. The cow is thought to have escaped from a nearby farm, before it clambered onto the home, which backs onto a steep hill. It then fell eight-feet onto de Souza's side of the bed, after the roof buckled under its weight, local media reported. His wife was unharmed. http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/07/15/19479766-reports-c…

   We all have them in our gardens I think they add a bit of extra flair and a reflection of one’s personality in the garden and a bird bath is definitely well worth having

   Phil Harris, colorful skipper on "Deadliest Catch", dies at 53.

   Say what you will about the guy--workaholic, hard-living, chain-smoking, foul-mouthed. But this guy at least seemed like a REAL GUY to me. Fishing has to be a rough life, and anyone that can make a family business on a cramped boat with two sons had to be a good guy deep-down. I kinda feel that the fantasy life I never had with my dad has died for good. RIP. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2010/02/deadliest-catch-captain-phil-harris-dies-after-stroke.html

    Shipwreck of Kamehameha II found in Hawaii - historical treasure

    This is a fascinating tidbit. Kamehameha II put Hawaii in the 1820s on the path that led it to statehood. He allowed missionaries to enter among other things. Apparently no one died in the wreck. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/artifacts-lost-in-shipwreck-191-years-ago-returned-to-hawaii/ar-AAaCHxy "LIHUE, Hawaii — A museum in Hawaii is preparing to open a treasure-trove of artifacts from the shipwreck of a royal yacht sunk off the coast of Kauai 191 years ago."
