When I was online searching for a “replacement hound” after Leia Round died, I came across one named Red. He had the most intense, intelligent eyes – they almost glowed. That big guy just adored me, and would lay in my lap, staring at me with those big brown eyes for hours.
I wonder… and please don’t take it that I’m advocating the use of horsemeat in dog food… if this might have been objectively more nutritious than what followed after horsemeat was banned.
When they have to use meat that could also be sold to feed humans, like beef and chicken, and lamb, which is even more expensive, manufacturers tend to give pet food the dregs of it all…
Animal “by-products”, unpalatable (to humans) organs, chicken feet… some things you really don’t want to know about… while the chicken meat, steaks, and even the hamburger go to the supermarket.
There are plenty of nutritious parts that humans don’t eat, but there’s a high proportion of parts that aren’t as good for them. No matter what their ads say, I don’t think any pet food companies are using the rib eyes and filet mignon.
When few humans were competing for the horsemeat, maybe the dogs got all the good parts too.
“manufacturers tend to give pet food the dregs of it all”
Not just animals but humans also and it’s sold using miss-leading advertising. MacDonalds ..100% beef , yes nostrils, ears ,stomach any anything thing else that couldn’t be sold if it was named. How about those tasty McRibs ? The name would have you believe they’re all made from succulent rib meat.
Buying furniture > how about a nice “100% wood table that is made from 100% wood saw dust and glue pressurized, then a thin 3/32” laminate of actual wood glued to it. It is 100% wood .
Respectfully, no. I’m no big supporter or eater of McDonald’s, but fair is fair, and that (mostly) isn’t true.
There have been plenty of lawsuits claiming such things, and lawsuits from McDonald’s for libel over it, and they have proved over and over that they use only USDA inspected ground beef in their hamburgers. There are signs that say so in the restaurants.
Things like stomach and ears are termed variety meat, and their use in USDA ground beef is absolutely prohibited. It must contain only muscle meat. Variety meat can be sold, if labeled by the parts, or used in pet food, but not in hamburger.
I said “mostly” above because the USDA does allow a small percentage of heart and tongue to be called muscle meat. Many people buy and eat heart and tongue. McDonald’s suppliers, though, have testified in court that they don’t use them.
A couple of years ago there was a new lawsuit over the McRib sandwich, claiming the name was misleading, because the meat wasn’t from pork ribs and contained snout and organ meats.
McDonald’s showed in court that the McRib contained only pork muscle meat. They agreed that little was from rib meat, but proved they’d advertised it as a pork meat patty shaped like ribs, not as rib meat.
They won, and their suers were fined a lot of money that they refused to pay, but last time I read about it, McDonald’s didn’t pursue it.
Engineered wood they call it but that that is mostly used in flooring. I have often been told by sales people that a table is made from 100 % wood when in fact in it made from sawdust and glue. I would venture to say most kitchen cabinets are all made from engineered wood.
Indulge me in including some self promotion here:
cuisinechampetre.ca is my business site. top right is a photo gallery from customer projects I’ve made. No engineered wood in any of them. I make mostly tables now and no longer kitchens.
Interesting looking work. When we remodeled our kitchen after a leak ruined the cabinets, I searched for a US business that used all real wood. It’s out there and still competitive, although it uses modules to allow them to standardize on sizes in order to make use of volume manufacturing. Interior pieces are all wood, although using smaller pieces glued together rather than full boards.
If you looked into places that make kitchens, the chances of finding one that does real cabinet making with wood are slim. Your best bet would have been to see an artisan furniture maker maker ..an ebeniste. You would be surprised at how he can compete with prices from kitchen makers. The mark-up on kitchen cabinets is highway robbery.
“White Boneless Chicken, Water, Vegetable Oil (canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), Enriched Flour (bleached Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Bleached Wheat Flour, Yellow Corn Flour, Vegetable Starch (modified Corn, Wheat, Rice, Pea, Corn), Salt, Leavening (baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Calcium Lactate, Monocalcium Phosphate), Spices, Yeast Extract, Lemon Juice Solids, Dextrose, Natural Flavors.” …where do I sign up for that ? I notice they didn;t mention how the meat is bleached because it’s not all white.
I have seen videos about how the uncooked product looks like before it’s cooked …it’s a pink gooey texture about the consistency of batter.
I think I found it… but it’s a bit tedious to keep looking to make sure.
Is this it?
The middle car, 4th up or 4th down, in the 4th column. Light brown, I guess I should call it.
Meanwhile… This seems to depict them driving towards us, over a steep hill… You can see them appearing in stages over the top.
A neverending swath of oncoming cars, 14 across, with insufficient room to drive side by side without colliding (probably why that one has a missing mirror).
I remember watching this on TV in mid-to-late-1960’s, “Friday Night Sci-Fi Night”, midnight time slot. Good times back then! A bowl of buttered popcorn and a mug of milk…
I’ll bet that somebody worked really hard trying to come up with those costumes, and had to suffer through several re-dos to get them approved. Too many egos involved in the motion picture industry (accompanied with low budgets).
I also get outside with everything I need, but convince myself to go back in and check on things I should have known I didn’t need to check on. (Back door locked, cheese put back in fridge, coffee pot turned off, etc.)
I recently watched Nuremberg , the movie about the trials held after the war. A stellar performance by Russel Crowe and worth watching for WWII history buffs.

One of my favorite episodes of The Muppet Show was one with Linda Ronstadt as the guest star. She sang Blue Bayou, I think “to” Kermit, as muppet swamp creatures bobbed, croaked, and chirped in the background. And Miss Piggy stared daggers at Linda.

“Welcome! Welcome! We’re glad to see you today. The gallery is open, come on in”
(Love the tie, by the way.)
I dunno, his bright coat and tie give me more “used car salesman” than “gallery owner”.
But I love the tie too.
Maybe he’s pushing doggie condos.
I was looking at the unhung artwork in the open doorway. But he would make a great salesman!
..
I got the guy on the right.
Same here. Looked up the other one.
Not from a film, AFAIK.
Oops… others were typing while I was looking.
Sorry ’bout that.
I, too, didn’t recognize the first one.

Those big brown eyes!

Other countries, other preferences.
And then, there are sausages…

The wood thing is kind of true… but the label has to say “reconstituted” or similar.
It also applies to leather goods… A lot of shoes and wallets are made of ground and reconstructed or reconstituted leather.
Engineered wood they call it but that that is mostly used in flooring. I have often been told by sales people that a table is made from 100 % wood when in fact in it made from sawdust and glue. I would venture to say most kitchen cabinets are all made from engineered wood.

I stand corrected … what about “chicken: Mcnuggets ?
LOL…. I had to look, since you asked.
McDonald’s advertises them as made “with”….note: not “of” …100% ground breast meat….
I found this online: “White Boneless Chicken, Water, Vegetable Oil (canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), Enriched Flour (bleached Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Bleached Wheat Flour, Yellow Corn Flour, Vegetable Starch (modified Corn, Wheat, Rice, Pea, Corn), Salt, Leavening (baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Calcium Lactate, Monocalcium Phosphate), Spices, Yeast Extract, Lemon Juice Solids, Dextrose, Natural Flavors.”
Not healthy, but also not beaks and feathers. No parts of the chicken other than breast meat.
Also… when it comes to ground meat of any kind, at McDonald’s, in frozen meatballs, fresh, at the grocery store…
it includes a lot of trimmings and scraps, not just the big pieces… as long as it’s muscle meat of the kind named.

Even without sound, the parents sighs are loud and clear.
“Have kids, you said. It would be fun, you said…”
Better to have grandkids. You can give them back.
It’s hard to get there without doing the having kids part.
I almost did, some years ago, but, sadly, it didn’t work out.
,..
Cute.
It’s a clever idea… and works especially well for that photo of the road between two trees.
Not such a good idea for the originals of your precious family photos, or especially for that genuine Rembrandt drawing you inherited.

LOL… not for the actual story, cos that was a savage time for women’s rights…
But because it took me at least 3 readings to realize it didn’t say “for only wearing pants”…. and it didn’t mean she was topless in court.
Yeah – I had to re-read that too.

Who forgot to take the red shirt out of the bag of washing?

find the car with the missing mirror
I think I found it… but it’s a bit tedious to keep looking to make sure.

A neverending swath of oncoming cars, 14 across, with insufficient room to drive side by side without colliding (probably why that one has a missing mirror).
It’s like some kind of zombie car movie.
Not as fun as the other ones. No happy well fed squirrel or unicorn snowmen.
I usually get these, but this one stumped me.
That’s the one I found as well.
I got the same one as Susan, her description would match mine. Confirmed with the “official” Daily Mail snippet.
Thanks!
Can’t figure out two interpretations for my description… hope it’s not that unclear!

That AI kitchen help ain’t gonna be any good without hands.
Joan Taylor, with a couple of cast-mates, from Earth vs the Flying Saucers (1956)
(They’re definitely not friends in the movie)
My apologies for no spoiler box…. I just didn’t think it was guessable.
Even though the movie isn’t the best known, it did have some fun special effects….
Funny – a shot for that movie to guess was on whatthemovie.com just a couple of hours ago.
It will be only there for long if the shot makes it:

loved it then —still love it
Those costumes look a bit like… well… a certain part of the male anatomy…
A VERY healthy part of the male anatomy! (Lucky guy!)
Lucky girl! 😀
I’ll bet that somebody worked really hard trying to come up with those costumes, and had to suffer through several re-dos to get them approved. Too many egos involved in the motion picture industry (accompanied with low budgets).

Great photo.
Well dressed, probably well to do, each with his\her own conveyance.
It’s hard to distinguish the wheels, but the.middle one seems to be a 2-wheeler, a “penny-farthing.”
Yes, definitely a well to do family, probably aristocracy. Yes, the middle bicycle is a small version of the Ordinary (Penny Farthing).

Okay, found it. I was wrong about Kermit and Miss Piggy … at least in the Blue Bayou bit.
