Made a steak and potato 'lasagna' again with some red wine, very nice after a 5 km power walk.

Quote:
"a dead marine" In the old days of hard drinking at sea, this expression was generally accepted as synomonous wiht an empty bottle. The story is told that William IV, when Duke of Clarence and Lord High Admiral, pointed to some empty bottles at an official dinner and said, "Take away those marines." A dignified and eledrly major of marines rose from the table and said, "May I respectfully ask why your Royal Highness applies the name of the corps to which I have the honor to belong to to an empty bottle?" The Duke, with what tact anc characteristic grace that was his, retorted promptly, "I call them marines because they are good felows who have done their duty and are ready to do it again." In Grose's Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, one finds under the word "marine officer" the libelous explination, "an empty bottle'". "An empty beer bottle has been called 'a dead soldier' or 'dead Marine' since about World War I..." From I Hear America Talking: An Illustrated History of American Words and Phrases by Stuart Berg Flexner (1976, Van Nostrand Reinhold Co.)I recently read in another book (can't remember which one) that "dead soldier" may have been a little black humor -- the "spirits" had left the bottle. |

Spaghetti with my own marinara, garnished with caramelized onions. With green salad and fruit for dessert.
No pics! It was good. |

You know the thing I keep noticing? How unique the meals from Canada posters are. I can’t say I have really heard of any of them, it’s pretty cool to me.
Am I weird for saying that? |

I was at the gas station afterwards, and as I started filling my truck with regular at $4.59, I wanted to see what diesel and other grades were running. As I walked around the pump, regular jumped up to 4.66  |
