    What breed did you get/are you getting? Was this your initiative?

    My family asks for a puppy weekly, so I’m pretty much a constant stream of disappointment to them. 
    He was found as a stray so we don’t know the exact breed.  The foster owner seemed to think he might be part McNab, and that seems to fit.  I put some pics in the pets thread if you want to check him out.

    Our oldest has been begging us to get a dog for years.  I never had a dog growing up (though my wife did) and a major factor for us was the girls’ willingness to embrace most of the responsibility for taking care of him.  It was very helpful that we had him with us for a couple of days before making a final decision so that we could all get some sense of what we were getting ourselves into. 
    Otto is pretty cute. Congrats on the addition to the fam.

    Did you have a dog growing up?
    It may shock you to know, but my father never let me. 🙃

    We had a Boston terrier from about 2007 or 2008 until 2014 or so, but he had a rare neurological disorder and we ultimately had to put him down at seven years old. 
    Be a hero.
    Love you bro!

    My sister Beulah was half dog. It took me a long time to figure out why my belly always tickled when we hugged and then I saw her in the shower and she has six nipples between her belly button and har soapless brillo pad. Suddenly it all made sense.

    Texture is a little softer than I prefer but this might be the juiciest flat portion I've ever had

    @Eggpharmer - great results and pics.  Nailed that cook and however you get that kind of result is all that matters in the end game.  Congrats!

    Thinking things could get unpleasant if this stupid soccer game cuts into my MotoGP race.  
     
    EDIT:  Okay, two goals in the last 90 seconds is pretty cool.

    I’m totally judging you on your choice of kosher salt there. 
    lol, what’s wrong with it?
    Always been a Diamond Crystal fan myself. Maybe there should be a “Which Kosher Salt is Best” thread. 
    Gotcha.   Yeah I’m not sure I realized there were kosher salt factions!
    Yes there is.  Diamond Crystal is like the Duke's Mayo.  I have never seen it, but I hear it has lighter flakier crystals which makes it easier to salt to taste with.

    My understanding is a teaspoon of DC had las NaCl than a teaspoon of Mortons, so you are less likely to overshoot your intended flavor.
    Diamond Crystal, Meh

    Leave it to the salty French-
    And yes, I have explored the world of sea salt-being a sailor it's an ingrained (intentional) thing.  Occasionally I will receive a " prior unknown sea salt" as a hook to "buy again."  Never worked but has opened the world of salt.  I'm guessing it could devolve into the nuanced world but my palate is not discriminating enough to finesse the differences.

    Fun fact: Almost all sea salts now contain microplastics. Yummy!

    Salt is good for seasoning but don't get any on your sphincter. My sister Beulah once sat on a salt block we had for Jinxie our horse and it stuck to her hoo haw for like seven full days. Momma made her special pants because she had to go to school for three of those days and nobody wants other students to think you have a block of salt stuck to your hoo haw. In general, you want other students to think.you have a sweet hoo haw.

    Certainly at some point almost all salt beds were formed by a sea. However, salt that is from ancient beds/mined is free of any manmade contaminants. The exception might be some of those that do undergo further processing "at the factory".
    Since microplastics are so pervasive planet-wide almost all sea salts made in the traditional evaporation process will contain microplastics. Himalayan salt is free of microplastics, sadly tho it appears that in recent years some brands have tested positive for plastics which are due to simply being exposed to the air while being processed/packaged.
    Are microplastics in our salt a health concern? Probably not. We're probably more at risk from all the microplastics that enter our lungs daily. Instead, microplastics are just another indicator of human's mucking up the planet and while we are likely mostly free of any negative effects from them the same cannot be said of much of the flora and fauna that live in our seas/oceans.

    On a lighter note here's a fancy finishing sea salt that I really like and give two thumbs up:



    Cheeezus - didn't mean for that pix to be so huge. This new redesign seems to be doing that with lotsa pix (at least on my desktop).

    Well, we get more for the price then, right?
