    (It was Google Hang Outs we used.) We have the daughters and
    I'd not even heard of Google Hang Outs until reading this.
    Better Hang Outs than hang ups. (G) Did you check it out?
    No - never checked it out, and it sounds silly to me.

    I'd never heard of it before, either... typical cutesy name...

    Steve's parents gave up using the computer some years some
    years ago, kept it until their latest move. I'm not sure
    what they did with it.
    Great, I'm of the older generation now.
    I think most of us here are.
    But I'm less connected than even most of the people on
    this echo. I don't really mind this condition.

    I may be less connected than you, or at least differently not that
    connected... I don't have even a (probably now defunct Facebook) account
    and don't go web browsing for information... but I do have a cell phone, admittedly.... which is on more often than the Shipp cell phones... ;)

    Like you, though, I don't really mind this condition... ;)

    The fact that it had chard in it at all should have
    been a tipoff.
    The chard was a side dish. First time I'd ever used it, but have cooked it many times since then.
    My recipe for duck with chard. Cook duck. Discard chard and
    any accompanying zucchini.
    They're both veggies we eat. IIRC, the chard was stir fried/wilted in the duch fat briefly, then served. I'd have to find the recipe to know for
    sure tho.
    I served beet greens to some guests recently. The good
    news is that they didn't die.

    And the bad news was that you thought they tasted nasty....? ;)
