Different life styles.
As you and I have both noted before. At least neither
of us sneers too much at the other's.
I try not to sneer, but may sigh from time to time. (G)
I tend to ignore unless there were any echo-related issues.
That works as well.
It's a rule I've made for myself, figuring that a moderate
moderator is preferable.

Well, more often than often.
Too often for your liking?
Perhaps, but it's in the nature of the beast, so I've got
to take it.
Sometimes better or worse than you took it for?
Not sure I get that.
Marriage vows--"......take for better or for worse......"
Oh. I didn't marry the corpus of information.
As I wrote a day or two ago, I've been eating in a region
where every restaurant from the simplest to the most elaborate serves friets with just about everything.
I'd be leaving most of them behind.
I've warned waiters to serve just a half portion,
but what comes out is twice as much as anyone would
want to eat anyway, even if it is a half portion.
Maybe you need to ask for a quarter portion?
Or "just a handful" - which likely turns out to be a
full serving anyway. The cook usually isn't in charge
of the balance sheet.
I don't want mine to go too extreme in either direction.
I have collapsed on the street once or twice but do
not make a habit of it.
I've not done that but don't want to risk it with my blood sugar
levels.
Worrying about it would probably subtract more years
from my life than doing what I do.
Just be careful where/when you pass out. (G)
No such thing. And it remains unclear whether blood
sugar had anything to do with my fainting spells, which
happen more rarely than one fears.
Posting what you are or are not thankful for.
Oh, going back to the previous subject. I didn't
catch that.
No big deal, is it something worth posting or not?
Doesn't matter - if it's not worth posting, it's no great
loss. It's not as if this echo is so busy that we begrudge
the bandwidth.
Maybe we can start the thread at some point.
I'm okay with it just so it doesn't get close to
religion or politics.
OK, maybe we'll start it nearer to the end of the year when people are
more inclined to think along those lines.
I'd suggest in about 3 months. Earlier for Canadians.
Title: Endive, Beet And Red-onion Salad
Looks interesting. I've never bought endive nor eaten it (that I
know > of) but am quite familiar with everything else.
Around here it's available in all the markets, but
No surprise. (G)
Oddly, it's not of Belgian origin but Mediterranean,
but the method for keeping it white (the same subterral
technique as white asparagus culture) may have been.
the restaurants don't serve it - probably a little
more expensive than other greens.
Possibly so.
At one of the more fashionable restaurants it was
offered as an option - but the serving was tiny.
