Thank you. I suspect that people voted when they were hungry.

Congrats Rob and Stiga ... nicely snapped.

Didn't expect this one, but thanks folks. and congrats to the other close-to winners, Stiga and Jerry. Great topic OhLook. Love your avocado, eggs and hummus (I think ?). Now I'm hungry again.

I'm off to a meeting in a few mins so will have to post the thread page when I'm back this PM. But in the meantime, to get you looking (or cooking), the topic is Heat - and yes, hot food will work.

Congratulations to Rob and Jerry

Thank you. Yes, hummus it was. Good source of fiber and other nutrients that we expect from legumes.

A quick story on my 1851 Navy Colt revolver. I bought it in 1975 at an Estate Sale in Cheyenne, WY for only $75! Best deal ever!

Using the internet I discovered from the Colt web site that it was manufactured by Colt Arms in 1862 and sold to the 11th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry.

The 11th OVC has a historical web site and from them I found that the pistol was assigned to B Troop and based on the initials carved into the pistol’s brass strapping it was issued to Private Bill Cochran.

The 11th OVC was sent west during the Civil War and was initially stationed at Laramie, WY. They protected the Overland Trail and the telegraph lines against Confederate and Indian attacks. At the end of the war they were disbanded and the troops were mustered out of service.

Pvt. Cochran survived the war and returned home to Ohio to live a full life and is now buried in an Ohio Veterans Cemetery.

The internet can be a wonderful tool for research

Congratulations to the winners and enjoy your next meal!

Congratulations to the winners.

Well done all.
