1199096	2011-05-03 05:28:00	I was needing a pork-fix and I had some Farmer-Style pork ribs (no bone) in the freezer that were getting a little outdated so I decided to cook them up . I wanted something different - so I thawed out the whole 1 1/2 lb of boneless ribs and made a marinade of my own design . Here's what I came up with::: :stare: FIRST --- Get a good sealable Zip-Lock bag and into it put the following: 1 cup of Kikoman soy sauce 1/2 cup catsup A glug of cooking sherry or wine (either will do) 2 tablespoons of dark brown sugar 6 garlic cloves really REALLY chopped and crushed into almost a paste 2 pieces of candied ginger, chopped, smashed and powdered as good as I could Mix up all the ingredients by kneading the plastic bag without the meat inside it first until you've got a good paste-y goo and then put the pork into it and massage it for a few minutes again . Put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, bringing it out when you remember to or between beers and re-massage it again a few times and let it suck the marinade flavors into it . OK - here's where it gets interesting::: I took some toothpicks - the round kind - and skewered one end of each chunk of meat and after raising one of the oven racks to it's highest position, I hung the meat from that rack evenly spaced out - from the toothpicks between the wires . OK - it sounds weird . Just do it - it's all good . The I took a large cookie sheet and put it UNDER the meat on the lowest rack to catch any drippings and turned the oven to 325ºF (NZ= @3 . 25 x human basal temperature) and baked the hanging meat for an hour and a half . (NZ= the total length of your warm summer season) . I was tempted to baste the hanging pork with a little honey and water 50:50 mixture a few times, but I chickened out and just let it go as it was . I think it would be a good flavor enhancer too - but it's fine like it was . I served it with fluffy white rice on the side and some microwaved Oriental Stir-Fry vegetable mix from my freezer . LEGAL NOTICE: Remove the toothpicks before eating this prepared food product . Having a toothpick sticking out of your throat can cause precious beer leakage . Yup - this goes into my recipe book . Interestingly - the rack where the meat was hanging had a very minimal amount of baked-on gunk on it and it cleaned off very easy . The cookie sheet was about the same - although it had more on it of course . So clean-up isn't very bad with this idea .	SurferJoe46 (51)

1199100	2011-05-03 07:31:00	Addendum:::: Ketchup v. Catsup, brought before the US Supreme Court. Ketchup v. Catsup was a landmark United States Supreme Court case involving tomato-based condiments, which were invented in Saxony. The case stemmed from an argument among American consumers on the correct spelling of the word pronounced "catch-up." Contents [hide] 1 The Controversy 2 The Role of The Great Depression 3 Heinz vs. Hunt's 4 The Case 5 See Also Edit The Controversy sectionEdit The Controversy The controversy over this condiment actually began nearly a century ago when the tasty paste was developed as a by-product of the Spanish-American War. The product was invented when US Army scientists were looking for a combination Scurvy preventive and gun carriage axle grease. It was discovered by Theodore Roosevelt that a paste made of tomatoes, flavoured with sugar prevented scurvy, and had the right consistency to grease axles. The Army began the widespread use of Roosevelt's invention. The grease worked so well on the axles of the artillery that they moved faster than the infantry. Indeed, the caisson drivers would shout to their infantry colleagues "Catch up, catch up!". Once in place, the guns would be unlimbered, and the caissons parked. While parked, many artillery officers noticed that the local feline population found the tomato-based grease irresistible. An unidentified artillery soldier wrote home: "You should see the local cats sup on our caisson grease!" These two incidents gave rise to the popular names of the grease. Because both phenomena were noticed at the same time, both names were used for the product. In World War I, the fear of scurvy was rampant, The American Expeditionary Force decided to sneak their scurvy preventative into the Hamburger sandwiches (Note: though many German named goods were renamed during the war, because this sandwich required eating actual Germans, the name remained the same.) The Americans had discovered the perfect condiment for Hamburgers! Later, the English and French attempted to use some of the surplus axle grease to feed their starving people, both took credit for serving fried potato strips with the condiment. The French incorrectly named them “French Fries”. The English term "Chip" is too confusing for Americans as they also refer to potato crisps as 'potato chips'. As a result both terms are widely used, with the use of the word 'chip' now confined largely to the UK and countries of the former British Empire(except Canada and possibly others). Edit The Role of The Great Depression sectionEdit The Role of The Great Depression About ten years after World War I, the Great Depression occurred. Because many people were unemployed, Government commodities such as milk and cheese were needed. Another commodity in ready supply was the axle grease/Scurvy preventative. The grease was now expendable because with the advent of the infernal combustion engine, horse drawn caissons were no longer needed. The government began giving out the paste at soup kitchens and breadlines. People began calling the paste by its old Army names. The Infantry veterans called it Ketchup; the Artillery veterans called it Catsup. The two names caused a great deal of confusion, and eventually, two men emerged to wave the flag of the opposing names. Edit Heinz vs. Hunt's sectionEdit Heinz vs. Hunt's The leader of those who called it Ketchup was A man named William K. Heinz, whose original name was Gregory Hines. He had been an infantry officer in the Spanish-American War. He had often heard the Artillerymen cry Ketch Up! He and the other men called the caissons "Ketch Up Wagons". Seeing the rising popularity of the condiment, Heinz founded a company that bragged that it could produce 57 varieties of Ketchup. Meanwhile, another man was developing his own company. Mike Hunt had served as an artillery officer in the war, and it was he who had noticed the cats supping on the axle grease. When he started his company, he sold his product as Catsup. Both companies prospered, as both had the good fortune of founding their lines at the start of World War II. With the wartime boom, (see The Manhattan Project) the companies’ fortunes were made. However, a controversy arose from two companies selling the same product under two different names. Hunt alleged that as a member of the branch that had developed the paste, his was the better product. Heinz disagreed, and both sought legal recourse. Edit The Case sectionEdit The Case Hunt, through his attorney, Thomas Dewey, of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe, sued Heinz in state court in New York demanding that Heinz cease and desist from referring to the product as ketchup, or, in the alternative, to pay Hunt an amount in excess of one buttload of money. Heinz, through his attorney, the noted trial lawyer Horace Sazass, sued Hunt in federal court in Pennsylvania, demanding that Hunt cease and desist from marketing his product as "catsup" or that he be required to include cat by-products in the formula. On Heinz's motion, the state case was remanded to federal court, and the two cases were consolidated. Both sides used particularly nasty lawyer tactics. The case was tried before Hon. Oscar J. Mayer, a native of Hamburg, Germany, who immigrated to America as a child. Mayer issues a scathing decision in which he declared: "This case is the biggest bunch of baloney I have ever seen. What kind of a weenie would even bring a case like this? I hereby order both litigants to be flogged, their companies dissolved and all proceeds delivered to me, personally, in care of the City Bank of New York, and their children sold into slavery. Further more, I don't give a Royal Flying Rat's Ass about whether you call it catsup or ketchup. I mean, really." On appeal, the Appellate Court tossed the case out of court and fined each attorney a thousand dollars, issuing the opinion "Who cares?" Eventually the case made it to the Supreme Court. The case was argued on the grounds that it was a violation of everyone's Constitutional rights to be forced to spell the same word, for the same product, two different ways, and, besides, Judge Mayer is a nutjob. The Chief Justice, in one of History's great ironies, was Warren Burger. Before the Court, both sides argued furiously. During court they both kept their tempers. Eventually, the justices went back to the Batcave to deliberate. The Court was split 4-4 on strict taste-test lines. It was up to Burger to cast the deciding vote. Burger cast his vote in favor of maintaining the current double spelling practice. In his majority decision he quoted Benjamin Franklin, "It mattereth not how Ye chuse to spel particular Words in our language, Nay, what mattereth is that We calleth a spade a spade". Writing the dissenting opinion, Justice Felix Frankfurter noted: "That's stupid Burger! WTF? Should we start spelling Mustard 'mouseturd?' So THERE!	SurferJoe46 (51)
