The best solution would be to tear out the wall paper and re-plaster or dry wall, but that is not happening anytime soon. You can't just take the wall paper off like you can with drywall, because the wall paper is holding the plaster, horder hair and lathe all together in some parts. Anyone who has seen the ~30 foot stair well knows that would be a job for professionals. So until that day happens I patch and paint which looks fine.
After the wall patching I decided that I wanted to make some cornish game hens. I got these anti-biotic, hormone, steroid-free ones at wegmans - two for $8. As part of my trying to save for the new era of disparity I have decided to return to eating the organ meets, accept for the liver. As (e:matthew) put it - I cannot eat what I feel is the equivalent of eating the brita filter after it is done filtering.
I used some Roswemary from the garden, some garlic and paprika. Then i wasn't sure what to stuff in them because (e:matthew) cannot eating any sort of gluten based stuffing. So I looked aorund the yard, and saw I still have a lot of pears. In went the pears.
I am so excited to eat the neck. I know its weird but serioulsy they taste so good. I am obessed with turkey necks too.
Here are the hens done.
(e:Terry) is so picky that he refused to eat the pear because they had been "in the chicken" while baking. When I met him he wouldn't even eat anything with bones.
I am watching a cooking show now with a norwegian carror farmer/chef who is obsessed with his carrots. he said if you cut them tenderly they will be juicy like the lips of a juicy woman. I wonder what that sounded like before he translated it in his head, lol.
you remember Bob? he hates turkey, but loves the turkey neck. several thanksgivings I would cook a big turkey, and bob would say "I want the neck honey"
Wow - looks delish! When I cook turkey, I ususally use the meat from the turkey neck in the gravey - it's good.
