Never have had brains

Heh, read before you leap.

Yeah, yeah.... shoulda been eaten, not had... ;)

Sorry, that one just leapt out.

It's ok.... Hadn't leapt out at me until you quoted it.... (G)

It was funny; would have been funnier if someone
stupid (nobody in present company I hope) wrote it,
but then I wouldn't have said anything.

Brains, by the way, contain an average 2.1% cholesterol,
around 10x what most organ meats have and 30x+ regular
meat and fat. Not that cholesterol makes much difference,
which all modern research shows (and as Ian has maintained
all along).

If one is lucky. I've had some modest failures
thinking that way, never figuring out what I
meant to remember..

That's why luck would be needed... ;)

I wonder how much luck is involved in
the collection of what comes to be known
as history!

Historians are supposed to be better at remembering things....?? And/or
at documenting at the moment...?

It's not that they remember but that they should be
more careful at getting information from sources that
remembered and documenting these. But that is a rosy
view and ignores prejudice, bias, blindness, and ego.

Along with other things touted as just upon the horizon which have yet
to materialize....

Some of them have happened and then been forgotten.
Flying cars. Chocolate digestives.

Were the flying cars a sort of early aeroplane....?

You sound as though you've been into steampunk.
Actually, they were a latter-day airplane, hoped
for as a commuter vehicle to be piloted/driven
by ordinary drivers, presumably, if the idea had
"taken off," with an added component to the
operator's license test. Henry Ford was an early
proponent of the idea, though he never got one to
work.

The chocolate iced digestives are something I've bought and enjoyed here in the states, though not recently... :)

It wouldn't be at all difficult to make or at
least semi-make them yourself.

True... I'm going to try to remember to look a little harder to see if
they are still available anywhere locally....

McVities should be available, and couverture should
be available. Wax paper and tongs, and you're set.

... Apparently, "Now More Cashews!" is code for "Now Only Two Pecans!"

Well, it'd certainly not be code for "only
two peanuts."

categories: Ethiopian, main, starter, raw
Servings: 10

2 lb tender beef
4 Tb Neter Kiba (seasoned butter)
4 Tb Berbere Awaze

Cut the beef in cubes and on a medium skillet melt
the butter (Kibe) at low heat.

Mix the beef and berbere Awaze in the butter.

Saute at high heat for 1 to 3 min continuously stirring
until the meat cooked rare, medium or well done
depending on your taste (cooking optional)

Traditionally, it is served rare. Add a pinch of salt
to taste and enjoy with injera or rice.

Good for Ian... I never believed that eating cholesterol did much harm, either... the body is perfectly capable of manufacturing it on its
own...

Yes, that would require at least a modicum of luck, I'd guess...

Not really, but yes, into a wide range of science fiction/fact over the years... :)

by ordinary drivers, presumably, if the idea had
"taken off," with an added component to the
operator's license test. Henry Ford was an early
proponent of the idea, though he never got one to

I do recall various discussions of the concept, over the years, hadn't
realized or at least remembered if there had actually been one built and tested.... Only seen, that I remember, on the TV show the Jetsons....

I've not seen the McVities, at least not at Wegmans, that I remember (so
at least not recently)... forgot to check the import section, though...
Also possible at Lori's maybe.... I did see the Carr's whole wheat
biscuits, essentially the digestives, though not with chocolate...

two peanuts."

Now who's making understatements...?! (G)

What I've had at Abyssinia has been warm, but raw... I'm guessing the
warmth comes from the butter having been melted.... :)

... Nothing is so good that somebody, somewhere, will not hate it.
