Frau Blücher


My sister-in-law (My wife's sister) is married to a Blücher. She really is...



Did they have daughters?


Jay, no - no kids. My wife is one of 3 sisters who had no kids themselves, while their brother did. I mention it because it seems unusual.


Ahhh...got ya. I asked only because of the Frau Blücher character was so memorable.

That's stunning to consider.

"....In same-day competition in March, perennial Guinness Book records jockeys Zoe L'Amore and Ashrita Furman squared off over the record for stopping blades on an electric table fan the most times in one minute using only their tongues. On Italian TV, L'Amore stopped blades 32 times, but Furman, at a different venue, later stopped 35."

Cream liqueur with rum, spices and sweeteners. Never had it, and I figure it's really sweet. Never been much of a rum man. I do like some of the cream liqueurs made with whiskey.

Yes, grandchildren.

1. John Tyler was 63 when his son Lyon was born (1853).

2. Lyon was 71 when Lyon Jr. was born (1924), and 75 when Harrison was born (1928).

3. Both sons are still alive.

Sounds like my family. One of my grandmothers was born in 1905. Her husband, my grandfather, was born in 1882 (I'm just middle-aged, not elderly). Grandma's grandfather was born in 1803, and I own a bed that he made circa 1850 (he was a furniture-maker). It's too short for modern men so my sister has it.

I have 3 direct ancestors on my father's side who fought for Virginia in the War Between the States (2 great-grandfathers, one great-great grandfather), one of whom was with Lee at Appomattox.

Status: offline 		M̶a̶l̶l̶a̶r̶d̶ Maillard reaction?




Hard-boiled eggs from an unprestigious motel continental breakfast; had to peel off the shells myself. This is a first for me, and in searching the internet for answers, it looks like the best explanation is over-cooking, perhaps in a pressure cooker. Eggs have a small amount of carbohydrates in them, which can react with proteins at high temperatures, producing the browning action.
