When you're bobbing around nicely and a motorboat roars
by with its wake engulfing your head, it's hard not to
think of homicide.

Indeed.

An idle question - what's worse, being swamped
by a motorboat when you're in a canoe or if you're
already in the water?

They both sound pretty nasty... not sure which would be worse... or
better...

Early this year I went to a camp that has something like
80% of the shoreline of a lake, but people keep putting
motorboats in opposite and roaring up close to the shore on
the camp's part, cutting inside the buoys that are used to
demarcate the swimming areas. Troublesome bastards, and if
there had been firearms on the premises I'd be in jail now.

All sorts of other protein sources would be more
convenient.

Very much so... :)

It would probably be easier to synthesize protein
from scratch than use zebra mussels. And there's a
lot of biomass that is easier to harvest and possibly
as abundant.

Point proved... ;)

We could solve world hunger and poverty by only a
modest redistribution of resources and could probably
accommodate an even greater population using readily
available food resources without using marginal things
like zebra mussels. Water and unpolluted air, those are
different issues and likely even less vulnerable to
progress.

True... at least on the possibility of a stop being an automatic transposer... sorta... one would have to use the stop on its own as a
solo stop, though... Usually it's used to just fill in harmonies and color... :)

Yeah, true enough, but their existence, and the
thought processes that went into their design,
boggle the mind.

Have to give a lot of credit to the organ builders... :)

Indeed. Have you seen mediaeval organs? They're quite
simple beasts, and the development of complex systems
during the Renaissance and Baroque is impressive
testimony to instrument maker ingenuity.

we took Edith to Taste of Japan for a memorial meal, following taking
her up to her vet's to put down her cat Nena... it just seemed like the right thing to do....

Yeah, feed on something the cat would have appreciated.
Sad, though, that scenario.

She made a similar comment... my thought when suggesting it was mostly
that it is one of her favorite places to go... and she obviously needed
a little more time with friends around... worked out well...

Glad; send my sympathies.

On the plane yesterday she tried to put her headphone
plug into the 110V outlet. It went in. Luckily there
are fuses and such.

Not good... when did she (or did she) figure it out...?

She leaned across the barrier between our seats and
complained, and so I unwrapped my own headset and
plugged it into my jack, and it was fine. so then I got
the flight attendant involved, who figured it out
immediately.

Perhaps the drummers and thighs also get cut into two or three pieces
like the breast getting cut down...? I'd keep the giblets out of the stew, probably as cook's portion... ;) And, if one had 6 breast pieces, two wings, 4 drummer pieces and 6 thigh pieces, that would give the 16 pieces without adding in back and neck...

Thighs maybe. A duck drumstick has very little meat, as do
the wings. I don't see breaking them down into subparts.

I wasn't suggesting breaking down the wings... if one didn't with the drummers either, I suppose one would have to add back in two back
pieces... ;)

I should have said "similarly to the wings"; anyhow,
various duck appendages don't offer much nourishment
but perhaps a bit of fun in the eating.

spoke to Nancy Backus about 821 etc + overflowxn <=-

Early this year I went to a camp that has something like
80% of the shoreline of a lake, but people keep putting
motorboats in opposite and roaring up close to the shore on
the camp's part, cutting inside the buoys that are used to
demarcate the swimming areas. Troublesome bastards, and if
there had been firearms on the premises I'd be in jail now.

When I was of a single digit age, we moved into one of two houses on my
uncle's property. It was on a small lake. My dad and I used to go out
into the lake to fish near an old submerged tree stump, and did pretty
good there. The lake was also as clear as tap water. Then someone
moved into another property on the lake. They wanted to run their
powerboats and decided that the tree stump was a hazard -- and so had it
pulled out. There went the good fishing. Next thing was they decided
that they wanted a sandy beach, so they did a dreging operation to pull
lake bottom up onto there shore. I don't know if that gave them a sandy
beach, but what it did for sure was to make the lake water turn murky
brown. There went the good swiming.

The recipe below is very simple. Another recipe looked better, except
for some of the forbidden (for you) vegetables. The use of a balsamic
vinegar for basting sounds pretty good.

___-------------------GRILLING VINEGAR---------------------------
1/2 c Basil leaves, minced
2 lg Cloves garlic
1/2 c Balsamic vinegar

Make grilling vinegar by combining ingredients in a small bowl.
Heat barbeque grill to medium high, place eggplant, zucchini,
onion and red bell pepper in a single layer on grate.
Immediately brush on grilling vinegar and turn vegetables over.
Brush top side with vinegar. Turn vegetables to cook evenly,
brushing generously with vinegar.
When vegetables are just tender but still intact, remove from
grill. Brush on remaining vinegar, season to taste with salt
(or any no-salt seasoning favorite) and pepper.

Title: Eggplant Sandwich
Categories: Low fat, Sandwich, Posted
Yield: 4 Servings

1 Eggplant
Salt
Bread
Fresh basil

1. Slice an eggplant into round, 1/4" or so slices. Salt, let sit for
an hour or so, wash and pat dry (this all to remove bitterness). Then
layer on a cookie sheet and bake about 10-15 min at 350=B0 until
soft. Alternately, grill slices. Keep in fridge until you crave a
sandwich.

2. Sandwich time...On some wonderful bread, maybe warmed up a bit,
layer eggplant slices, juicy fresh tomato slices, and, the key
ingredient, fresh basil leaves. Yum.

I've seen pictures of the mediaeval ones.... and for a while had the opportunity of playing on a fairly simple organ, a Hook and Hook

In Canada you can't dredge lakes or rivers without all sorts of

fines are heavy. Cottagers get nailed thousands and large mining

That may well be true, and it should be. BUT, bear in mind that the

without due process.

Oh right. We didn't start tightening up our usage with restrictions
until 1967. Before then you could own land up to the waterline and
even into the water. In a967 the federal government took control of
the first 100' above the high water mark on all lakes and rivers with
the exception of existing surveyed and privately owned lots. So all
the cottage lots developed after that stop short of the water and
one has to apply for a lease to use that strip even to cross it and
get permission to add fill to it or build a dock on the far side of
it. Destruction of wetlands or fish habitat and degrading of water
quality is all generally forbidden.

When looking up creamy seafood recipes that would be good for crepe
fillings I came across this different from normal version of
Coquilles St. Jacques.
