Chef Jethro Loichle honed his skills under the eye of Chef Pierre Gignac at 98 Provence.

Like Larry Matthews of Back Bay Grill, Pierre’s exhortation to use a light touch: “let the food be the food” ensures the ingredients are enhanced to perfection, not bludgeoned to death.

Revival Kitchen & Bar would be my #1 choice for excellent food with consistent quality in NH. Other places may have a stellar night, followed by a “what happened?” second or third visit experience. Chef Fletcher has maintained his ability to deliver an excellent dining experience, on-par with some notable Maine institutions.

They purchased a business with existing inventory. I looked into a restaurant in Manchvegas that offed the same deal. Should I throw out all of the olive oil, or do I look at the good reviews and think about the advantages of a stable transition?

As an FDA regulated food producer, I have to employ an audit system in addition to my process controls. (Botulism kills).

Ideally, I would have a water analysis suite, but the only way to make it work financially, is to accept that my primary job is laboratory analysis. The product processing becomes a distant secondary line. Clean room, appropriate storage, necessary devices. $200,000 Yes, I investigated.

Sending batch samples to Cornell is financially beneficial, and more believable than self-testing. Would a University falsify results? Less likely than a processing facility doing so.

THC concentrations are typically measured by a HPLC chromatographic suite. The other ingredients in edibles can ruin the processing devices, yet let’s ignore that for the moment. A used name brand HPLC suite can be as cheap as $6000, more typically $20,000 devoid of calibration tools. As NH believes the DEA, you can’t have a calibration sample of THC, so the results are suspect. All that I might accomplish without calibration, is similar to claiming a positive test for heroin, in a person known to eat poppy seed bagels.

Or… I need a subscription to a shared analytics library, and the HPLC suite. ~ $100,000 for a cutting edge analytics platform.

In every food and beverage business.

You earned a downvote.

If I bought E. coli contaminated spinach from Hannafords should the farmer, packer, distributor, or Hannafords be liable? As that’s potentially deadly, should everyone at Hannafords be jailed? Warehouse packers to truck drivers. Produce department kids working after school, to store management:

“YOU HAD ONE JOB”.

Or is the responsibility upon the farmer and co-packer instead? Did you knowingly harvest a flooded crop? Did you knowingly pack questionable product, and commingle various products in violation of batch control?

Did one problematic crop of spinach result in a nationwide recall of ALL fresh greens distributed through normal channels?

It was a great week for local farmers, as they weren’t subject to recall.

E. coli O157:H7 (2006)

When Irving chose to skip 2 deliveries and then charge $340 for a service call and emergency delivery fee, I yeeted their empty tank and called a local provider. Irving came with a smallish crane flatbed truck, and lifted the empty tank while parked on the street. “I’m nearly at maximum extension and that’s why tanks are delivered purged with 10% fuel.” The crane would lift >1000 pounds at the truck, but not at full extension and merely 15 degrees of angle.

The local provider came with a smaller service truck, the same size tank and no means of getting over the snow. The tank @40% was tipped and slid into a tractor bucket, strapped and driven to the connection site.

These can be moved, it’s not rocket surgery.

God sends two angels to destroy Sodom. Lot welcomes them into his home, but all the men of the town surround the house and demand that he surrender the visitors that they may "know" them. Lot offers the mob his virgin daughters to "do to them as you please", but they refuse and threaten to do worse to Lot. The angels strike the crowd blind.

Genesis is also the root of the Mensch, the 10 righteous, saving the world from deserved destruction.

Justice Potter Stewart defined pornography for the SCOTUS: “I know it when I see it.”

Full quote, showing the problematic nature:

“I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description, and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.”

There are white ceramic devices on most branch circuits acting like fuses. They pop free from contact when a short circuit occurs. The sound is like a firecracker, or shotgun blast. Feeder circuits are protected by a “recloser” that will typically pulse two-three times before shutting the system off.

Oop! Oh! ☠️ crap. 🕯️

The “tree huggers” aren’t environmentalists. They’re your neighbors.

“OMG you can’t cut the trees along the road! I love that shaded rural lane feeling when running or walking my dogs!”

The Emerald Ash Borer has rendered most of those trees into would be firewood. Standing dead for now, falling on power lines soon. Eversource has “trimming contracts” out right now. What it needs (as does your town) is felling contracts, removing ALL of the trees within the defined Right of Way.

Likely resulting in lawsuits from landowners and environmentalists. Meaning it won’t happen, despite a clear authority in the Right of Way grant.

BAE, United Technologies, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Three “constituencies” that Kuster and Pappas protect. Even-if none are in Syria, it’s a quid pro quo for later support from other representatives.

“Hey, remember when I… … I need your support for submarine contract.”
