Found my first grey market lightbulb store. Mom & Pop hardware store run by a Guatemalan family. Cases of lightbulbs out back, where it's dark [:D]. The fellow's wife's cousin is a manager in a Mexican lightbulb plant. Couple of US manufacturers closed up shop up here, fired everybody, moved across the border, and built a couple lightbulb factories. Heche en Mexico is becoming a label to look for. This is so cool, watching the worm turn.

Hi all,

Those are classic lightbulbs?

No more US production for those in ASA?

BTW, I changed all my classic lightbulbs for low-energy lightbulbs (i.e. compact fluorescent lamp = CFL) years and years ago... although I use the "warm light" (i.e. yellowish light) variety and not "cold light" (i.e. bluish light) variety...

Just thought it interesting, in a droll, cynical, and amusing kind of way, that we would urinate on something as simple as a lightbuld only to have lightbulb production move to Mexico and be as universally available as they always were. Just like the Oaxaca seeds got imported and then extinguished, only to become Michuacan. [:D]

Yeah, right. Thank you. Sorry I tweaked your pathetic little world.

Okay then,

Pork baby backs, marinated in John's 'Jesus Saves' BBq sauce;

Mary help of Christians white corn on the cob, picked this very morning from the cornfield a quarter mile down the road, dusted with Hungarian sweet paprika, dried cilantro, slathered in sweet butter (sauted in garlic);

Patrick of Ireland potatoes. Ya can't go wrong with anything from the Emerald Isle, but.. Baby russets, fist size or less, rolled/tossed in bowl of oilve oil, Mediterranean sea salt and a tsp of cardamom. Roast till skin is Krispy.

The Magdelen Tart. Peaches are early this year, and while Georgia is flooding the market, Chilton County is up and boogying. Fresh peaches sitting for a bit in lemon juice, some zest, some of last years pecans ground up tight. Again cardamom, and a peench of cinnamon. A couple grates of nutmeg show well (so long as you don't buy wooden nutmegs from some unscrupulous Connecticut yankee), Four or five sticks of Cloves, and believe it or not a half clove of garlic.

Woofus, Gastronomicus. !!

Sara has 6 racks of pork ribs marinating in the fridge tonight, to go on the grill tomorrow. She put some stuff on it that smells good. [:D]

John, your post made me hungry, even though I don't know what half of it is. I've never been accused of having a discriminating palette, but I love good food. I'm just not a chef at heart, I'm an eater! [8D]
