    Rule 1 for potlucks, never eat potato salad.
    Rule 2 for potlucks, never eat anything with the word salad in it.
    Rule 2 for potlucks, if its called salad it most likely has loads of mayo, dairy, or egg and has been sitting out for hours and hours.

    1. Buy jackfruit and shred the pith up into a saucepan with some chopped onions and tomato and let it simmer.
    2. Buy king oyster mushroom and shred them into a pyrex with some olive oil and garlic then throw into the oven for 20 minutes.
    3. After the 20 minutes remove mushrooms from the oven and dump them in the saucepan, scraping all the good bits from the pyrex.
    4. Add some BBQ sauce and/or your favorite spices. Good for this are paprika, cayenne, a little cumin, mustard powder, and turmeric.
    5. Simmer for another 20 minutes then serve in between some burger buns that have been spread with coleslaw on both sides.

    Vegan sloppy joes that actually taste good without having to eat soy, gluten, or dairy.

    Here is a version that is easier without the jackfruit.
    But the jackfruit addition is worth it imo.

    I dunno about kale slaw though.

    Yeah, we make our own bread too.
    I am not celiac but I have a high sensitivity to gluten.
    So my wife makes me breads made out of mostly spelt/amaranth/millet//seeds/nuts.
    Spelt is not gluten free but it is a different type of gluten protein that is much more water soluble and digestible.
    Plus its super high in fiber which also helps digest the gluten before it can do most of its inflammation damage.
    Oats have a similar gluten protein that is different from the really bad one in wheat but 99% of oat companies process their oats using the same machines they use to process their wheat products. The cross contamination with trace amounts of wheat gluten make oats a no go for most celiacs. I feel worse when I eat oatmeal, but thats probably because I dont like oatmeal.

    valid points
    used to work with safety prevention in accordance w/the health department
    the most common/frequent violations i saw was leaving condiments (particularly mayo) out at room temp
    and cross contamination (knives, cutting boards)

    granola serves no purpose in life other than to keep you from dying from starvation if you are lost in the woods or the artic and all you have is a baggie of granola.
    you gonna die anway, might as well pack a baggie of weed instead.
    go out on a high note!

    Rhino poachers mauled to death by pride of lions after breaking into game reserve
    by Chris Irvine | Fox News — 4 hours ago

    At least three suspected rhino poachers have been killed by a pride of lions after they broke into a game reserve in South Africa.

    Rangers discovered human remains around 4:30 p.m. local time on July 3 in the immediate vicinity of the lions’ territory at the Sibuya Game Reserve in Kenton-on-Sea in the Eastern Cape, more than 24 hours after an anti-poaching dog alerted her handler that something was amiss.

    The ranger however did not examine the disturbance further because it was not unusual to hear the lions at night.

    When members of the anti-poaching unit investigated, they recovered human remains, a high-powered rifle with a silencer, wire cutters, an axe and three pairs of shoes.

    Nick Fox, the park’s owner, said the lions were shot with tranquilizer darts at first light so police forensic teams and the anti-poaching unit could comb the area for clues, and admitted it was not clear how many poachers may have been killed.

    “The only body part we found was one skull and one bit of pelvis, everything else was completely gone,” he told Newsweek. “There is so little left that they don’t know exactly how many people were killed, we suspect three because we found three sets of shoes and three sets of gloves.”

    He added: “They came heavily armed with hunting rifles and axes which we have recovered and enough food to last them for several days so we suspect they were after all of our rhinos here. But the lions are our watchers and guardians and they picked the wrong pride and became a meal.”

    Police spokeswoman Captain Mali Govender said: “We do not know identities but firearms have been taken by the police and will be sent to the ballistics laboratory to see if they have been used in poaching before.”

    In 2016, the reserve saw three of its rhinos shot dead by poachers who broke into the reserve to cut off their horns. All books with the reserve include an option Rhino Levy where the proceeds are donated to a fund fighting poaching.

    Nine rhinos have been killed by poachers in Eastern Cape province this year, according to South Africa’s Times.

    The reserve is one of the most popular game reserves in the Eastern Cape and is home to Africa’s big five – elephants, buffalos and leopards as well as rhinos and lions.

    The cherry on top would be another story about a matador who was gored by a bull in front of 50,000 blood- sport fans!
    Yeehah!

    Wow. Good find.
    Guess the picadores didn't do their job so well.
    I wonder if they cut off his ears, butchered him, and then gave his meat " to the poor and hungry"?
