    is that it is mostly self-moderated.
    I've tried to keep within the rules. I've a tag line file of biblical
    quotes that I don't use now (tho some would be very appropo at times) in keeping with the echo rules.

    As with the thing in Punkt Kontrapunkt from the Hoffnung
    Music Festival, "you must not play this note, you must only
    think it." I've seen a couple tags from various people that
    have strayed across the fence, but when it seems inadvertent,
    I'm not very loud about it.

    Better to sell it and let somebody else try to make a go of it.
    Who knows the backstory. In any case my visit there must
    have been in some kind of interregnum. It did leave me a
    memory, I can say that for it.
    Sometimes memories are the best thing to come out of a place or
    experience. Food may not be good but if you were at a place in good
    company, you would tend to remember the latter over the former.

    With me it's a mix.

    Not to be gross or anything, but what's your opinion of
    the various vegetable substitutes - spaghetti squash,
    spiralized zucchini, and so on? You can guess mine (low).
    They're good as veggies but not a replacement for pasta. Years ago we

    Hah, I wouldn't be inclined to touch them unless there
    were a strong sauce to go with (and likely not even then).

    tried spaghetti squash as a pasta and didn't like it. A few years ago I
    found a recipe for spaghetti squash with balsamic vinegar, olive oil,
    Romano cheese and pine nuts--gave it a try. Now I'm buying spaghetti
    squash again. (G)

    Spaghetti squash of course is a marketing dodge to
    make a perceived virtue out of an undesirable
    characteristic (stringy to the point of inedibility
    flesh).

    I know, and most often mine is just done (no white core). It's also
    My pasta is generally too thin to have a core.
    It has one, but not noticeable if it's a very thin pasta.

    My preferred angel hair done pretty much at all has no
    white core.

    whole wheat so doesn't get mushy like white pasta does.
    But it tastes funny. On the other hand, check out my
    To you, but not to us. We've been eating it for quite a few years.

    And look at you!

    complaint about the Alaska Grains wheat bread that I
    encountered at Swisher's, which didn't taste enough
    like anything - seemed like Wonder bread with a tan.
    I've had whole wheat/whole grain breads like that (remember Roman Meal?)
    and began baking my own as a way to get a better loaf.

    Roman Meal I mentally clumped in with Hollywood Diet;
    I know it's not in the same category at all except for
    the not-good-tastingness and the added fiber.

    I've gotten it > ML> > instead of potatoes at OG, don't see why they wouldn't sub it for > ML> pasta > with some dishes.
    That thrills me no end. Not.
    I know, but I like it as a lower carb sub.
    [heh]
    They usually serve about 3 pieces so with the thin breading on it, it's
    much lower in carbs than mashed potatoes. Just checked on an app--OG
    mashed potatoes have 22 grams of carbs, no listing available for the
    zuchinni as it's a newer menu item and the app hasn't been updated in
    several years.

    Depends of course on the amount of breading. The fat content
    is likely a lot greater, though, so the "healthiness" depends
    on what you're trying to minimize.

    repair or replace, rather a simple removal, and I'll
    take my chances.
    Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, so much to think about.
    I'll think about it when the time comes, if.
    OK, but please keep us updated somehow. I wasn't concerned when I didn't
    see you for a few weeks, knowing you had the trip planned When you did
    come back with the news that you didn't do the trip and why, it was
    quite the surprise.

    To me, too!

    Quite different from the standard stuff offered in the States?
    The top sellers here are available there, but I'm not too
    familiar with local variations. A quick look at the Malaysia
    Website offers interesting things that I doubt are available
    stateside: ayam goreng (Malaysian fried chicken), bubur ayam
    (chicken congee), corn cup (plastic cup full of corn kernels),
    Milo (like Ovaltine), frozen Coca-Cola (can be mixed with Fanta).
    Sounds interesting. When we were in HI, the McDs over there started
    selling spam and something else (forgotten what) local. Never ordered
    any as we didn't frequent the place. Did try their spicy chicken which
    was a short lived (but decent) menu item, sorry to see it wasn't a
    keeper.

    I believe I've eaten at McDonald's only in states
    starting with M and N. Also Ireland and Germany or
    France, I forget which. I've also stood by while Lilli
    had a burger and fries elsewhere.

    Hi Michael,

    is that it is mostly self-moderated.
    I've tried to keep within the rules. I've a tag line file of
    biblical > quotes that I don't use now (tho some would be very appropo
    at times) in > keeping with the echo rules.

    Music Festival, "you must not play this note, you must only
    think it." I've seen a couple tags from various people that

    Wave the hand over the keys and music will appear? interesting theory
    but not practical in reality.

    have strayed across the fence, but when it seems inadvertent,
    I'm not very loud about it.

    I'll mentally bite my tongue in those cases.

    were a strong sauce to go with (and likely not even then).

    Some are pretty good as parts of a stir fry.

    Spaghetti squash of course is a marketing dodge to
    make a perceived virtue out of an undesirable
    characteristic (stringy to the point of inedibility
    flesh).

    We've found that fixing it this way makes it pretty good, but, YMMV.

    It has one, but not noticeable if it's a very thin pasta.

    My preferred angel hair done pretty much at all has no
    white core.

    How is it cooked--mush or al dente?

    It was a baby step in the road to full conversion to whole wheat.

    It's more of a scattering of bread crumbs than a full on breading.
    Doesn't seem to have a lot of fat to it.

    take my chances.

    I've had McD's in a few more states but some of it was while child
    raising. Sometimes it was better to go that route than a fancy sit down
    meal.
