The oven was the first common kitchen appliance to be made available in different colors.
It would take approximately 140,000 of these 29mb platter assemblies (1960’s)
to fill up a single 4tb flash drive (2024)
High 36, low teens overnight. Can’t wait for Spring…
in the middle of a computer change- hopefully I’ll return soon

I’m guessing you won’t like them no matter what.
That said, treat them like cabbage or collard greens.
Quarter them and Stir fry them.
You are funny! I’ll try that with lots of butter and salt…
