What climate change? If I was a younger person I'd be very worried. As
it is I'm still worried, but as I'm 83 and will be leaving no hostages
to fortune (children) behind ..... Still, it would be nice if it were possible to cool the planet down before it wipes out humanity and
cools down on its own.

It is cooling down, despite what the global warming folks say. Remember only 30+/- years ago when everybody was obsessing over the global
cooling? Can't win for notning.

The core msay be cooling. But the atmosphere and surface are warming -
caused by polllutants in the atmosphere. Global average surface
temperature has risen at an average rate of 0.17°F per decade since 1901

My usual order is medium; Steve likes them rare. We ordered the same
steak but different sides recently at Texas Roadhouse; they brought the
2 plates and set them down, switching them. Took us a moment but
switched back and were happy.

Never eaten at a Texas Roadhouse (Founded February 17, 1993; 32 years
ago, in Clarksville, IN. Currently headquartered in Louisville, KY)

Good place to go for consistancy from place to place. Good variety of steaks and sides, food overall is very good. It can get loud at times
as it's a good sized place and only low barriers separating one area
from another.

It was several years before a TRH actually opened in Texas. Bv)=

The only steak place I have eaten in Texas is the "Big Texan" just off of
Route 66 (now I-40) where the offer a "free 72 oz steak" (4 1/2 lb roast
cooked on the grilll). To get it free you must finish it in one sitting
along with the baked potato and side salad. I managed it. But an hour
or so further west I was getting hungry again. Seems all that food got
my stomach stretched out of shapen and when it passed on down the line
it left an rmpty feeling. Bv)=

We've eaten at them in several states, don't recall if TX has been one
of them. Do like that you know what you're getting there--they do have
a "pick your own steak" cabinet up front but we usually just order off
the menu. They used to have buckets of peanuts on the table, shells
could be tossed on the floor. Discontinued that with covid, brought in bagged peanuts (shells go into buckets) only a couple of years ago.

We used to have a chain place called "The Ground Round" a family casual
place that offered the p-nut shells on the floor deal. The chain, a part
of the Howard Johnson's family went bust in 2004. Our local store is now
"The Dublin Pub" with not an Irishman in sight.

Whichever way it's going, we shouldn't need to obsess about it. I figure
I'll be out of here one way or another before the planet blows into smithereens.

Nope. They pre-dated Texas Roadhouse. G.R. began in 1969. T.R. in 2003.
If anything T.R. is the copycat.

Title: Texas Roadhouse Rolls
Categories: Breads
Yield: 16 rolls

1 c Milk; warm (100ºF/38ºC)
2 1/4 ts Active yeast (1/4 oz env)
1/3 c White sugar
3 1/2 c A-P flour; more for kneading
1 lg Egg
1/3 c Butter; melted
+=PLUS=+
1/4 c Butter; melted (opt)
1 ts Salt

MMMMM------------------HONEY CINNAMON BUTTER-------------------------
1/2 c Salted butter; softened
1 ts Cinnamon
2 tb Honey
2 tb Powdered sugar

In a cup or small bowl, stir together the warm milk,
sugar, and yeast. Allow the yeast to proof and begin to
activate while you prepare the other ingredients. (This
is not necessary, but I prefer this to use milk cold out
of the refrigerator).

Using a stand mixer or food processor, combine the
flour, egg, 1/3 cup melted butter, and salt. Add the
milk mixture and process until you have a smooth dough;
it will be stickier and wetter than regular bread dough.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turn the dough to
grease all sides, and cover with a towel. Let rise until
it has doubled in size.

When the dough has doubled, punch it down and turn it
out on a floured board. Let rest for 10 minutes.

Roll out the dough into a large, flat rectangle
approximately 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 16 portions with
a sharp knife and place on a greased baking sheet and
let rise again, until doubled.

Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.

Bake the rolls for 10 minutes on the greased baking
sheet. They will be light brown when removed from the
oven. If desired you can brush the tops of the rolls
with the remaining 1/4 cup melted the butter before
serving.

HONEY BUTTER

Prepare honey cinnamon butter by combining butter,
cinnamon, honey, and powdered sugar with a mixer until
well blended.

NOTES: Use regular white sugar for this recipe - don't
use any sugar substitutes or you will compromise the
flavor.

Use warm milk to make the rolls rich-tasting

MAKES: 16 rolls

Categories: Beverages, Kooknet

1/2 oz Midori
1 oz Vodka

Pour into shot glasses and place them on the end of a vertical
flashlight (one at a time). The thing should glow a hearty green and
look rather convincingly like "nuclear waste."
