That's what got me yelled at.

I guess I was a weirdo as a kid. Loved spinach. Too much Popeye maybe.
I also always asked my mother to strain the water it was cooked in into a
glass and drank it as well. Put a pat of butter in it, let it melt, stir
and bottom's up.

All of us, as kids, ate spinach as kids and liked it. Now only a
couple of us like it.

Different subject: Martin Logan Aerius speakers. What do you think?

What are you asking for the ones you're selling. I assume age doesn't
really detract from them either, true? I saw a pair on Ebay yesterday
for some $560 or thereabouts. The Aerius speakers seem less demanding
of a large room than the SL3s.

They are good. Until you hear the SL3's or any of the larger ML's. Still
critical to room placement and you need a decent amp to drive them.

There were some problems with the high voltage section of some Aerius
speakers.
Both my sons have a pair and one of them developed the problem. The other
set is fine. They were manufacture red about a year or so apart from each
other, sometime in the 2003-2004 timeframe.

Fried the high voltage supply and controller associated with it.
Martin-Logan acknowledged there was a problem in some of the speakers
manufactured in that period and, even though well out of warranty, supplied
all new electronics to repair.

Depending on age and condition, $500 for a set seems very reasonable. It's
about what the ones I have are worth. I don't recall exactly but I think
they sold new for around $1,600 to $1,800 a pair.

It's got more real meat in it than bologna!

Hey, some people think Spam is real meat.
And maybe it is.
Because it's better than bologna too!

Never had that. But they must be pretty good if you go by price.

BTW, crockpot cooked pulled pork bbq is great stuff.

There's a Weber restaurant near where I worked, in Wheeling, IL.
Think they make Webers in Wheeling, or close by.
The restaurant cooks everything on Webers, supposedly.
Never went in the cooking room (Don't feel right calling it a
kitchen.)
But the place does smell like my patio when mine is fired up.
I saw "pulled pork" for the first time on their menu, when a
group of us lunched there.
Made me wonder if the ladies in our group would be embarrassed by
that menu.
I tried to keep a straight face when I nudged the guy next to me and
pointed at that menu item. I think I made a little Beavis/Butthead
snicker. Don't know which one makes that noise.
He didn't get it. Had no idea.
Some people are so juvenile.
Anyway, I've tried it since then at some BBQ joint in Tennessee.
Tell the truth, only BBQ I go after is baby back ribs.
Maybe a sloppy joe now and then, if that counts.

--Vic

You're thinking of 'pulled pud'!

Pulled pork is pork shoulder cooked very slow - five or so hours on a
charcoal Weber, 8-10 hours in a crockpot. To get good flavor, I trim
much of the fat, cut the shoulder into three or four chunks, and put
the chunks on a very hot grill long enough to get some black on the
outside. Then the chunks go in the crockpot with the seasonings.

Thanks. I might offer the guy $350 to see if he'll bite. Mathews, VA,
is a nice drive with some good campgrounds pretty close by.

You didn't say what you're asking for yours.

It's called 'pulled' because the meat is pulled apart with a fork once
cooked. It makes great bbq sandwiches, with some decent slaw of
course, or can be eaten with a fork. Good stuff.

Hell yeah, you can. Just be prepared to suffer the consequences!!!!

I eat at Cracker Barell just so I can get their bowl of turnip greens
and ham.

Wife has her surgery tomorrow and prob a 1 month recovery during which
no swimming. She says she wants to go scalloping but that involves
swimming. She says she can wade or will stay on the boat and read. I
think getting in the water to cool off (even in the bath water temp of
the Gulf) is necessary so am not sure how scalloping will go.

Best of luck to the wife and you. No water is bad!!

My wife, being a true southern belle, likes greens and is always trying
to get me to try them...again. She always orders greens when they are
available at Cracker Barrel. It's an acquired taste, I think. I don't
like them.

Agreed - kind of like brussel sprouts.

And cauliflower.

Cauliflower is good. Makes a great delivery system for good cheese sauce.
