Fighting

As I was watching an episode today and saw Joe once again fighting with someone.

I thought, was that common in those days?

To constantly be fighting and punching people??

I guess it was a big deal back, then not to be considered a coward or scared.

“The Wish” Season 10 Episode 23

An absolute fantastic very underrated episode from Hoss Cartwright/ Dan Blocker on racism. I won’t spoil for anyone who hasn’t watched but easily a 9-10 maybe even a 10-10 episode, and a great performance by little John reminded me of Solomon from Little House On The Prairie “The Wisdom Of Solomon. Another brilliant directing from Michael Landon also. 🙏😭

It's a recipe Bonanza! From The All-American Cowboy Cookbook, I made Dan Blocker's Nevada Nutty Slaw Salad. Do you think they served this at the Ponderosa Ranch?

Dan Blocker's Nevada Nutty Slaw from The All-American Cowboy Cookbook - This recipe was a real winner, but we had to make some little adjustments. Here are my notes:

  • The original recipe seemed like a lot, so I made 1/2 the recipe
  • I made it all according to plan, but I did use honey instead of sugar for the dressing.
  • This made a lot of dressing. Don't be tempted to dress the cabbage mixture with all of the dressing.
  • This was really easy to make and went surprisingly well with Linda Evan's Chicken Burgers!
  • The almonds and sesame seeds add a nice crunch and flavor to this salad.
  • Green onions worked great in this recipe and gave it a nice onion flavor that was mild and fresh.
  • The crunch form the ramen noodles were a nice touch, but I think tortilla strips would also be tasty.
  • Overall, this recipe was very good and was even better the next day!
  • As the recipe says, this would be very good with chicken added.

Edited: Forgot to mention that the oil was a bit much and I ended up adding more vinegar. Didn't have Ramen noodles so used these chow mein noodles instead. I like them better anyways 😜

A (probably) useless bit of (possibly related) trivia

I accidentally discovered today that there was a American poet/novelist named Elizabeth Stoddard nee Drew ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Drew_Stoddard ).
Her husband was born in Massachusetts (are bells starting to ring for anyone yet?), whose own father was a sea-captain (ding-ding-ding!).

I just wonder which writer of the show it was that knew any one of the above writers and decided to use their (parts of) names and history to create Ben Cartwright's and Adam's back story.

Btw, this is Elizabeth..... happy lady won't you say?

Sad episodes

I’m in season 9 and just finished the episode “Star Crossed” and that was honestly the closest I came to crying in a while, what do you think are some of the saddest episodes?
