So far, so good.

See below. Just be careful is all I ask.

I've not gotten into any yet.

Which strongly suggests the conclusion that you're one
of the lucky ones who are not sensitive (myself likewise).

Maple leaves aren't shiny and generally don't grow in clusters of 3.

They can in both cases. And poison ivy leaves
sometimes aren't so shiny, and the clusters can
grow together - not common, but at least as much
so as children with webbed toes (I've never seen
such a child but have seen the webbed toes of two
adults, who presumably were once children with
webbed toes).

Always exceptions to the general rule.

In the case of the Rhus, there are more exceptions than
adherents.

OK, the latter is the type of poison ivy I'm more familiar with.

It's not the enemy you know that you have to worry so
much about!

Usually so, it's the one you don't know that's the worry.

Exactamundo.

Because of your life style. Ours is different, lending itself to

There must be societies where my eating habits would
be considered normal, if not common.

Probably so but none that I've encountered. (G)

Over here there's a restaurant that is open from 10 to 3.
PM to AM. My kind of place, but chances are I'll not go
to it.

Not even the "anti social" one known as fb?

I've been on Facebook maybe once every two to
three months.

I don't even have an account on it.

Good for you.

Many of friends keep getting Flip Flop Berio despite
my warnings.

I used to buy that, when it was the only choice. Beat having no

olive > oil, but not by much.
Well, apparently, you didn't get much.

Not then but gotta get something.

Just get Trader Joe's cheapie if you can't go to
Costco.

And now for something completely different.
Thai-style green papaya mango salad

Something you've tried making, eaten on a plane or only seen the recipe?

I've made it, not according to that recipe. I've eaten it
from that recipe. I've seen that recipe, but not until last
month.

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.01

Title: Green Papaya Salad (Som Tam)
Categories: Salads, Thai, Vegetarian
Yield: 2 servings

4 oz Green papaya 2 tb Lemon juice
1 Garlic clove 3 tb Light soy sauce
3 sm Red or green chilis 1 ts Sugar
1 tb Roast peanuts 1 md Tomato
1 oz Long beans; chopped into -- chopped into
segments
- 1-inch (2.5 cm) lengths 2 lg Chinese cabbage leaves
- OR - French beans

Peel the outer skin from the green papaya and finely shred the flesh on a
cheese grater or chop very finely into long thin shreds. Set aside. In
a
mortar, lightly puond the garlic, add the chilis and lightly pound while
occasionally stirring with a spoon to prevent the resulting paste from
thickening. Add the long beans and slightly bruise them. Add the
shredded
papaya, lightly pound and stir until all the ingredients are blended
together. Add the lemon juice, soy sauce and sugar and stir into the
mixture. Finally add the tomato, stirring once. Arrange the Chinese
cabbage leaves on a serving dish and turn the yam on to them. Diners
should tear off a section of cabbage leaf to use as a scoop for the yam,
the two being eaten together. This dish is especially good with sticky
rice.

Seems to be the case but I'm not going to test that theory.

Sometimes life does give those anomolies.

OTOH, it's just after 10 here; just got in from a Purple Heart (next
week is National PH Recognition Week) reception/dinner. We'll be winding
down soon as we've got church in the morning.

Good for you.

Figured it's a time sucker I don't need when it first came out, tho
sometimes I wonder whatever happened to some of my former friends,
neighbors, etc.

The TJ in Raleigh is just a couple of blocks from the Costco so it's a
moot point.
