    plantains

    Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 12:10 PM EST [General]

    Been eating plantains a lot lately. I found them yesterday at 3/$1 at a flea market! I was paying .50 each!! They're full of potassium and since I don't eat bananas much this is my source. I fry them in a cast iron pan using peanut oil to obtain a higher temperature, sprinkle with a little salt and mmmmmm. I also had some foccaccio? bread sticks with some EVO and pesto washed down with some vanilla soy milk mixed with a little coffee and heated up. (It's my version of the latte)

    Good morning!!!

    Hi Alan, I do think theres somthing to what you said in your comment, I think its the liner. So I sat down and scrubbed the thing for like and hour, repeated this and I must say, I think its gotten somewhat better. (I am not really one for placebos :) It has actually gotten quite a bit better the last days, maybe they really do need "walkin in". Thanks Alan, chris

    I work on industrial and institutional electrical projects. There is conduit that is over 100 lbs on a regular basis. We have to be able to hold them static while on lifts, ladders, and scaffolding. This will eventually wear out anybody much less someone with worn out or missing bits. It is rare to see someone who has been working in the field for 15 years or more that isn't beat up physically.
