Just learned that Florence Henderson has passed away. From all I know, a lady as sweet as the character she's best known for playing. Not being a follower of much TV, I didn't know she was on "Dancing with the Stars" just a few years back.

Is everything else that you wrote as accurate as that??
Everything I wrote was accurate.

Well, maybe I embellished things just a tiny bit.

Also famous for getting busy with the kid that played Greg during the series. They say it was a pretty wild cast!

No turkey this Thanksgiving.
Southern Maryland stuffed ham, scalloped potatoes, sauteed onions, corn and crab-cakes made by my mother.
Everything was fantastic!
The Powder Monkey pale ale went really well with the meal.

I just came across something and had to think of you guys:

Ever heard of the Lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum)? It can be found in most of the Eastern United States, from Maine to Florida, from New York to Wisconsin.

Here's the cracker: its bite can, no joke, lead to a permanent allergy against non-primate mammalian meat! Meaning essentially all read meat. In an allergic person consuming such meat leads to a delayed reaction between 4 to 8 hours later a typical allergic reaction, complete with full body itching, hives, angioedema, and even potential anaphylaxis. The cause is galactose-α-1,3-galactose (alpha gal), a carbohydrate. There is currently no FDA approved treatment.

So don't get bitten guys, or you'll have to say goodbye to bacon, spare ribs, sausages ...

Thanks for the heads-up! Does it also cause beer allergies?

Not that I know off I think your country would have eradicated it by now if that were the case.

So we just adjust our diet to monkey meat. Make sausage, ribs and bacon from it.

Does this mean the Lone Star Tick originated in Texas and is moving north?
Or does it mean that the tick was always indigenous to the eastern states and Texas just claimed it as their own?
(We are not only the biggest in everything, but our ticks are the most fearsome!)

Texans love their steak. I would have thought that that alone would have led to eradication.

The Lone Star ticks get infected from drinking blood from Lone Star beer drinkers.
