Today is Wednesday, July 6, the 187th day of 2022.
There are 178 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On July 6, 1944, an estimated 168 people died in a fire that broke out during a performance in the main tent of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Hartford, Connecticut.
On this date:
In 1483, England’s King Richard III was crowned in Westminster Abbey.
In 1777, during the American Revolution, British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga (ty-kahn-dur-OH’-gah).
In 1854, the first official meeting of the Republican Party took place in Jackson, Michigan.
In 1885, French scientist Louis Pasteur tested an anti-rabies vaccine on 9-year-old Joseph Meister, who had been bitten by an infected dog; the boy did not develop rabies.
In 1933, the first All-Star baseball game was played at Chicago’s Comiskey Park; the American League defeated the National League, 4-2.
In 1942, Anne Frank, her parents and sister entered a “secret annex” in an Amsterdam building where they were later joined by four other people; they hid from Nazi occupiers for two years before being discovered and arrested.
In 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order establishing the Medal of Freedom.
In 1957, Althea Gibson became the first Black tennis player to win a Wimbledon singles title as she defeated fellow American Darlene Hard 6-3, 6-2.
In 1988, 167 North Sea oil workers were killed when explosions and fires destroyed a drilling platform.
In 2015, Pope Francis received a hero’s welcome in Guayaquil, Ecuador’s biggest city, as he celebrated the first public Mass of his South American tour.
In 2016, Philando Castile, a Black elementary school cafeteria worker, was killed during a traffic stop in the St. Paul suburb of Falcon Heights by Officer Jeronimo Yanez. (Yanez was later acquitted on a charge of second-degree manslaughter.)
In 2020, the Trump administration formally notified the United Nations of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization; President Donald Trump had criticized the WHO’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. (The pullout was halted by President Joe Biden’s administration.) Amy Cooper, the white woman who called police during a videotaped dispute with a Black man in New York’s Central Park, was charged with filing a false report. (The case would be dismissed after Cooper completed a counseling program.)

Five years ago: The maker of opioid painkiller Opana ER said it would stop selling the drug at the request of the Food and Drug Administration in an effort to curb abuse.
One year ago: Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City, defeating a large field in New York’s first major race to use ranked choice voting. (Adams would be elected mayor in November.) Filmmaker and actor Robert Downey Sr. died at 85; he was the father of film star Robert Downey Jr.

My late FIL came from Newark, but I don't recall him ever mentioning Pork Roll or Taylor Ham. But it probably wasn't available to him in Tucson in the 1960s-1980s before the foodie explosion hit grocery chains. And he was blue-collar to the bone, so not given to paying deli prices. The man liked predictability. Roy knew what he was having for dinner by what day of the week it was, except on Sunday when it could be roast chicken or ham. And he and his brother always ate sardine sandwiches with stinky cheese on New Years Eve.
Me, I've never been to Jersey, and never noticed Pork Roll in any of the NYC delis I've been to. I'd never even heard of it until y'all brought it up.
I'm a west-coast boy. I don't think we really have any regional food passions out here, beyond regional fast-food chain loyalties and the standard ethnic cuisines. These kinds of things are imported. I guess "Seattle Street Meat" - a hot dog with cream cheese - might qualify. But I'm not a fan of cream cheese on a dog. I'm more partial to Chicago dogs.
But tomorrow morning I'll try a Jersey Breakfast. Is it utter blasphemy to put Mozarella on that? Not a fan of American cheese.

Verdict on Pork Roll...we like it.You're ok with mozzarella. I've never used American cheese, either. Also not a fan. But I've used a wide variety of other options, including mozzarella.

And they had found some in Tucson at some point, for a while.Verdict on Pork Roll...we like it.You're ok with mozzarella. I've never used American cheese, either. Also not a fan.

Uncle Ed was a riot. He's passed now too, but that man may have been the funnest guy I've ever been around. He and my wife's Uncle Gil, from the other side of the family.
Ed loved pranks and cheap jokes. And women loved that man. He was married faithfully for like 60 years. All the Schneider boys married difficult women except Roy. How Ed remained faithful for all those years, when he could attract fawning attention from twenty-something girls when he was in his 70s amazes me. He was a "damn-guy." Smart as a whip, but always warm and cheery. I miss him.
My MIL married Roy, the baby of the Schneider family. The man had some real hangups, but he met this girl who had a horrific childhood experience, who'd been adopted by his oldest brother, and he was smitten. And for all his personal hangups and mommy issues (he got stuck taking care of mama while his brothers all went off to fight WWII, and afterward took full advantage of the GI Bill and became successful, while Roy ultimately retired as a janitor making $12 an hour), he took care of that broken girl and gave her a gentle life. The only time the man ever asked me to come help him with something was when he was building two bedroom sets for Penny. And he never told me he was dying and he knew he was dying. He was a real sumbitch that way. I should have figured there was something up if he asked me to help him with something.
The only reason my marriage has survived 33 years and my own attempts to sabotage it is because Carol has her dad's cussedness and her mom's patience. That, and the fact that Penny assured her daughter that I'd eventually grow up.
Sorry, I'm feeling a little nostalgic tonight, and I've got a little whiskey in me.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants. We just don't realize it.

Verdict on Pork Roll...we like it.Go for it!
My late FIL came from Newark, but I don't recall him ever mentioning Pork Roll or Taylor Ham. But it probably wasn't available to him in Tucson in the 1960s-1980s before the foodie explosion hit grocery chains. And he was blue-collar to the bone, so not given to paying deli prices. The man liked predictability. Roy knew what he was having for dinner by what day of the week it was, except on Sunday when it could be roast chicken or ham. And he and his brother always ate sardine sandwiches with stinky cheese on New Years Eve.
Me, I've never been to Jersey, and never noticed Pork Roll in any of the NYC delis I've been to. I'd never even heard of it until y'all brought it up.
I'm a west-coast boy. I don't think we really have any regional food passions out here, beyond regional fast-food chain loyalties and the standard ethnic cuisines. These kinds of things are imported. I guess "Seattle Street Meat" - a hot dog with cream cheese - might qualify. But I'm not a fan of cream cheese on a dog. I'm more partial to Chicago dogs.
But tomorrow morning I'll try a Jersey Breakfast. Is it utter blasphemy to put Mozarella on that? Not a fan of American cheese.
Pork Roll has never been particularly big in Northern NJ or NYC. Pretty much New Brunswick and south.
