    Which strongly suggests the conclusion that you're one
    of the lucky ones who are not sensitive (myself likewise).
    Seems to be the case but I'm not going to test that theory.

    My guess is that you probably already have tested it
    without knowing.

    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.
    Sometimes life does give those anomolies.

    Keeps us on our toes.

    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.
    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.

    So I didn't get to that place after all. If I were
    starting my life over in Belgium, I would likely be a
    patron - or even think about working there.

    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.
    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.

    Both are quite valid points of view, illustrating both
    sides of the coin.

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

    Embarrassment of riches, more like!

    And now for something completely different.
    Thai-style green papaya mango salad
    categories: airline, salad, side
    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.
    Not anything I've had the chance to try, don't know but maybe would, if
    given the chance.

    It's nicely sour and savory and hot, when made well.

    Hi Michael,

    Which strongly suggests the conclusion that you're one
    of the lucky ones who are not sensitive (myself likewise).
    Seems to be the case but I'm not going to test that theory.

    My guess is that you probably already have tested it
    without knowing.

    Possibly, no way to know for sure at this point. I don't want to
    dekiberatly try to get near it now and will be careful to avoid
    inavertant exposure.


    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.
    Sometimes life does give those anomolies.

    Keeps us on our toes.

    But we're not ballerinas.

    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.

    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

    So I didn't get to that place after all. If I were
    starting my life over in Belgium, I would likely be a
    patron - or even think about working there.

    20/20 hind sight. If I'd have known about it before I strted applying to colleges, I might have applied to a different one. Then too, I might
    have been accepted as an exchange student (was runner up to the one
    selected) in my junior year of high school. Either way, I would not have
    lived the life I have.

    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.

    Both are quite valid points of view, illustrating both
    sides of the coin.

    True, and the rim provides a 3rd point of view.

    Gotten some goodies at both places over the years.

    I'll take the hot up to a certain level, then back off.
