 ML> Which at least is reasonably predictable.

Same with old Faithful in Yellowstone. It's reasonably predictable now,
not totally, as it was before an earthquake hit the area some years ago.

I don't recall having any really "gone off" meats either. Probably one
bite and I'd not eat any more if ever they were to cross my fork.

True.

 ML> Wing sauce analogue for pigs. Speaking of which, have

 ML> that can be held and gnawed like a poultry drumette.

When pigs fly? Never heard of pig wings; sounds like somebody wants to
make more money out of a lesser cut.

 ML> What good is it if it goes off by itself?

Gives the cobwebs a chance to clear from its usual residing spot.

Insurance is covering mine so far. Part of the follow up from the knee
replacement.

Don't imagine so.

Have at it; at least you can eat the "misfires".

You can watch my spaghetti sauce being made without problems. I do not
make the version I grew up with.
