Slime-Green Pools Spread to Kansas City!

It is not just in California anymore!
The Casey Virus™ continues to spread...

Hat tip (again) to Wagga for this find:

Some nights Terry and Carrie Madden won’t even step onto their patio in Waldo — the stench and mosquitoes from the abandoned swimming pool next door are
overpowering.

The Maddens’ cash-strapped neighbors moved out in August, and the lender on the now-vacant house let it fall into disrepair. The pool is slime-green.

Their foreclosures delayed, vacant homes fall into disrepair

Don't miss the slime-green video!

Happy Semi-Vegan Saturday and Sunday!

Well, I've been busy offline falling backwards (not forwards like Casey) into the bay today (fully clothed) and pondering a sweet deal sans functional toilet. Currently watching The Stranger for the umpteenth time...

Noodle Casserole by ~vickangaroo

Brought to you by Wagga: this intriguing recipe that may help Casey gain a few pounds!

Semi-vegan Veggie Casserole

1 lb. fresh white mushrooms.
2 tablespoons butter.
1 8-oz.box frozen green peas, thawed.
1 can Cream of Celery soup.
3/4 cup milk.
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese.
Salt & pepper to taste.
1/2 cup crushed potato chips.

Wash & slice mushrooms. Saute in butter until tender.
Stir in peas & continue to cook for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile blend remaining ingredients in well-greased baking dish (except for potato chips), then combine mushrooms & peas. Sprinkle with potato chip crumbs. Bake 30 minutes @ 350 degrees.

Serves 4-6

Vegan Variation:
Substitute olive oil for butter, build a roux with 1 1/2 tablespoons of
cornstarch or
flour whilst sauteeing the mushies to build body, quench with 3/4 cup of
water
(or white wine!), and substitute tofu for cheese.

Variation kc
Use Vegan Variation, pour 1/2 of combined mixture in baking dish. Add layer of shrimp, beef , chicken, pork, crab legs or all of the above.. Cover with remaining mixture. Sprinkle with potato chip crumbs. Bake in eight ovens until the power is turned off.

Salt Lake City Variation:
Make Standard Variation, pour 1/2 of combined mixture in baking dish. Add layer of 2759 pieces of Koi ( A type of fish). Cover with remaining
mixture.
Sprinkle with potato chip crumbs.
Bake at room temperature until the housing market recovers.

Comments.:
This Friday Staff lunch was (as always) well received.
It tastes good or you will be fired!
Peas with Pearl Onions are a good alternative.
The dish turned out a little watery with a slightly gray color. A little flour or cornstarch during the sautee would be good, & be careful not to brown the mushrooms much. I did. I somewhat overdid the ground black pepper - hurt the color, I should try white pepper & a schosh of sugar. Next time I will experiment with olives, onions & peppers, and, of course, canned Tuna or Salmon.

Sweet Sushi

my lovely sweet sushi... by ~genjek

Hopefully this won't offend my Vast Christian Fundamentalist audience, but after encountering these human ovulation images I've been wondering what that golden roe might taste like.
Would it be best served on toast like caviar or as sushi?
And I thought I had an extensive fish egg culinary history...
In the end and the beginning we're all fish - or koi if you prefer.
