All skills that I posses. I also know how to dial a rotary phone and balance a check book.

When was the last time you saw a working rotary phone?
For me it must have been years.

I have several of them in the basement. Not hooked up, but if you want
to test your skills I could plug them in for you:-}}

It probably wouldn't be necessary. Do you still
have the proper jack to fit a rotary phone?

I had to read what was available, which was the Times. We didn't get the local daily paper (parents did buy it some years after I left home) and the weeklies had no food section.

I'm not knocking the Times in general but found
the sports coverage less than "fit to print."

I would say the same thing about the sports coverage in any newspaper.

Heh. I was speaking from the POV of a sports person.

Title: Indian Lentil Sandwich Spread
1 c Cooked lentils
4 cl Garlic; pressed
2 ts Ground coriander
1 ts Ground cumin
1/2 ts Ground turmeric
1/2 ts Cayenne
1/2 ts Ground ginger

Peculiar that it's listed as a sandwich spread. It
looks pretty all-purpose to me.
