when we > were visiting, our younger daughter and older daughter's boyfriend
teamed up to bath that cat. They both ended up with a number of scratches.
Ah. Managed by getting someone else to do it!
That was an exception to the rule; she usually bathed her cats. Don't remember why Deborah and David did it that time but I don't think they
were interested in doing it again.
Who knows - maybe there's a steady stream of victims.
I can be kind of friendly with animals from cats to dogs
to ferrets to birds. Not rabbits, though, because to me
they're food, and they seem to know that.
I'd stick with a cat or dog. Our family had a couple of canaries, some
fish, but you can't really warm up to either species. Steve's sister has
There are those who really like their birds and claim to
have a bond to them. Fish, well, I've heard of relationships
between people and cold-blooded animals, but it's not
clear whether that was in their own mind. On the other hand,
they might claim that the inability to forge such a bond is
in your own mind.
had rabbits but again, you can't play with them like you can cats or
dogs.
But you can eat them!
once I caught her and moved stuff in front of the compost
to make it difficult to raid, so she bit me in the calf,
penetrating my pants but not the skin. I predict nothing
good coming of this.
Doesn't sound like a very good idea. Did the other tenants have any say
in if it should have been allowed? I'd have voted a resounding "NO!".
The folks seem captivated by the creature ("oh, she's such a
good girl"; "oh, she's so beautiful."), but I hope it doesn't
end up with me reading about it in the newspaper.
Eh, the urushiol breaks down after a couple days,
and aa good washcloth is a good washcloth.
I'd have grabbed an older, "don't care about" washcloth.
Apparently the stuff has the same characteristics as
any heavy greasy substance.

Yes, we were too young to do mischief in the dark.
So you just stared at an out of focus screen where you couldn't
understand what was being said/done.
Oh, there was no question that most if not all the kids
understood what was going on; it's just that most of us
saw it for the bullshit that it was. It was all an
offensive, condescending exercise in futility, and as
far as I know nobody stared at the screen or paid any
attention to it. except Dave Denault, I think it was,
who threw spitballs at it.
He sends his greetings and is planning on scanning a
copy to put on archive.org - if that happens, I'll make
an announcement on the echo.
Sounds good. Hope he (and the rest of the family) are all doing well.
Reasonably.

I'm still trying. I e-mailed xxCarol a couple of weeks ago but
haven't > heard back yet. Figured she'd see it in e-mail sooner than
the echo.
Yeah, I kind of miss her.
Agreed!
Won't you come home, xxCarol, won't you come home?
toxic! What they sell as "raw" really have been
steamed to break down the chemical. I love the flavor
of unsalted roasted.
I like the flavor a bit of salt gives. I've also tried, but not
cared > for, the raw cashsews.
They're the next best thing to potatoes, as far as
I'm concerned.
A step or two above zuchinni?
Approximately. Somewhere in the neighborhood of
alfalfa sprouts.
Pretty much everything needs to be updated
periodically. Life goes on very quickly.
Yes, some things that were "hot" even 5 years ago are dinosaurs now.
Not that any of those trends would come to my
attention in five years.
I may notice it but not follow it.
If you're on potassium-sparing stuff like the sartans,
you're supposed to be careful about supplements.
That's why all my doctors have a list of what I take, including
suppliments.
Isn't it irritating when every time you go they ask you
to list everything you're taking, including supplements?
Wrapping the fish in foil is dubious to begin with, and
putting mayo in there to get gross and curdled is really incomprehensible to me.
I'd use parchment paper instead of foil.
I'd use neither.
And not have the fish, either.
I've always rather liked fish.

Title: Thai Wraps
Categories: Thai
Yield: 2 Servings
2 Boneless, skinless chicken
-breasts
Flour gorditas *
Cucumber slices
Red onion slices
Alfalfa sprouts
Sour cream **
Thai Peanut Dressing
-Marinade ***
Salt & pepper
Garlic salt
Season All ****
* Gorditas are thicker and fluffier than regular tortilla's ** I use
light sour cream *** Green Garden makes this in my area, available at
Safeway.
You might find something similar in your Oriental/Ethnic
food section in your supermarket. **** I use Lawry's
Season chicken breasts with salt & pepper, garlic salt and season all to
taste. Microwave, or cook in a pan until done. (I cover and microwave
the
chicken for two and a half minutes on each side, on high.) Cut into bite
size pieces, cover and keep warm. Slice cucumber into rounds, and cut in
half. Cut red onions into chunks. Heat gorditas (in a frying pan, no
oil,
or in the microwave - you want them to stay soft, not crunchy!) and place
on plates. Spread two (or more) teaspoons of sour cream in the middle of
the gorditas (the whole length). Place chicken pieces over the sour
cream,
add cucumber pieces and red onion. Fluff some alfalfa sprouts across the
top, and pour several teaspoons of Thai Peanut Dressing/Marinade over
all.
Wrap it up and enjoy!
John's Note: Make sure you keep the chicken hot, and warm the gorditas
sufficiently - the contrast between the hot chicken, warm gorditas, and
the
cold veggies, sour cream and dressing is really nice!
