Wow. Compression only is quite a shift.

Odd though, I've never read any stories of people suing for ventilation but I HAVE read stories of cracked ribs.

While I would never advocate for someone who didn't feel compelled to, endangering their own lives, the movement to compression only feels like the happy, slappy...hey, no risk here!approach to life saving.

Is it that people are so afraid that they'd do NOTHING if spit were involved? Or is it that people just do the breathing so badly that it doesn't help anyway?

BTW, it probably isn't but the VO artist on that CPR video sounds a lot like Christopher Lee. That would be funny.

Is it that people are so afraid that they'd do NOTHING if spit were involved?

Well, if you only think it works with spit, why try otherwise?

the happy, slappy...hey, no risk here!approach to life saving

I feel okay being judicious about what gets to go into my mouth. I'm not going to pretend I'm some sort of angel. I think any approach to lifesaving that means you do something positive is a good approach to lifesaving, and while I will certainly be judgmental about someone who won't open a more convenient door so someone in distress can sit down I will not be that judgmental about something that mirrors something regarded as so intimate in our society.

Skipping for advice:

I need to cook today. I'm looking for something pie-ish/bake-ish/pastryish, that will make me use potatoes and flour and such. I'd love it if it'll be a little bit sweet, but more important, I need something I can eat as a meal. I just went through recipes for the better part of the last 30 minutes, and found gronk.

It might be a good place to say that I'm vegetarian, so no meat and fish.

Any suggestions, oh ye buffoodstas?

Quiche?

Or a frittata. I made a totally yummy veggie dish the other day with potatoes, greens, garlic, chili pepper, olive oil. It was so simple and so dang good.

Burrell, can I have the recipe?

(I'm still kinda new to the kitchen, so the more "breaking it into simple steps" for me, the better).

Bones:

bah. There were parts I liked. Like the bridge building. But - Can we do something different with the cliche? I don't have kids. Don't really want them , never really did. But - I like them . I love working with them at the library. And I find most babies cute. There is a lot more in between in this senerio.

Here it is Shir:

Boil 1 lb potatoes in salted water until tender (20 min or so). Drain, peel, chop.

To cook greens also simmer in salted water until tender (10 min) and drain.

In a skillet heat oil, add garlic and pepper flakes. When it smells delish, add potatoes, greens, and 2 tomatoes chopped (or in my case, 1 small can chopped tomatoes). Mash together, check salt/pepper, add a teaspoon of vinegar. Enjoy. mmmmm.

quiche : really - unless you are trying to impress - the method is here:

biggest tips:

Cheese on the bottom - the fat in the cheese keeps the crust from going soggy.

Don't let any extra juice from the veggies in the pie - might not set as well as you like.

eat hot, cold or room temp.

That looks great. Thanks guys!

Edit: news here reports on Tornadoes in U.S. I hope all OK.
