tension. From the available data, we can estimate
that about 76% of adult men have hand spans that
can reach 8.5 inches or more. This leaves about

My span from thumb tip to pinky tip is exactly nine inches. OTOH, I
don't know what a tenth is nor could I manage to play one if you told
me. (Remember what has been said about my musical ability, even though
I did once play in Carnegie Hall [albeit, not the main one]).

In the strange mathematics of music, a tenth is an octave
(eighth) plus a third. It's the functional equivalent of
the third, which is considered in western music to be one
of the consonant intervals along with the sixth. The fourth
and fifth are described as perfect intervals, because they
don't produce beats (perturbations of the sound wave), The
second and seventh are called dissonances, but the worst
dissonance is the "diabolus in musica," halfway between
the perfect fourth and the perfect fifth, which makes the
biggest clash.

Very helpful for those who will be using the kitchen. Also
helpful would be to label the various waste and recycle bins
if they're not obvious. There will be questions that come up,
such as if bones and meat scraps compost (not recommended for
individual heaps but welcomed by commercial composters). There
will likely be few meat scraps or gristle bits, because I'd be
inclined to eat them as is or repurpose them somehow.

And as you know, I usually knaw on the porterhouse steak bones -- except
when we have company.

And one of the guests is inclined to steal the bone
from you.

Truth be told, it happens more frequently to me: hey,
Michael, that looks interesting. Why don't you try it?

That sounds too much like the old LIFE cereal commercial -- give it to Mickey, he eats anything.

I never saw the old Life cereal commercial, as I'd pretty
much quit watching TV when it came out. I did sort of like
the cereal itself, partially because of the sugar crystals
woven in, partially because of the vanilla-malty taste.

Seldom is there anything I have my heart set on so much
as to fend off such a request. "Well, I really wanted
to try the fried cricket and duck gizzard tacos."

I do not think that I have ever had any tacos other than the "standard" ground beef and spices on a crispy taco shell. Fish tacos seem to be a
rage, but never tried that. We watched a BBQ contest tonight where one
of the contestants served BBQ tacos.

You can put pretty much anything into tacos. My
favorites are tacos de lengua (tongue) and de cabeza
(calf's head).

Title: INDIAN LENTIL SANDWICH SPREAD~ MCDOUGALL
Categories: None, Sandwich
1 c Cooked lentils
4 Cloves of garlic, pressed
2 ts Ground coriander
1 ts Ground cumin
1/2 ts Ground turmeric
1/2 ts Chili powder
1/2 ts Ground ginger

Again, I'd reverse the ratio of cumin to coriander,

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook gently over low
heat, stirring occasionally, fir 5 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Chill for one hour.

This seems to be a child's introduction - it would be a
bunch better if the spices were heated separately maybe
with a bit of salt, and the lentils stirred in and warmed
when the spices ere toasted.

:This is the recipe as it appears in the _New McDougall Cookbook_.:

And of course a bit of fat would help as well.

And one of the guests is inclined to steal the bone

BUT -- (a) you are never company and (b) when we served porterhouse
steak to you, you got your own steak to knaw on however you wished.

I do not think that I have ever had any tacos other than the "standard" ground beef and spices on a crispy taco shell. Fish tacos seem to be a rage, but never tried that. We watched a BBQ contest tonight where one

So I understand -- just never cooked them, nor had them out.

Of course you would, if you followed a recipe at all:-}}

I agree. Not to say that I always do that though.

And of course a bit of fat would help as well.

Define what you mean by a "bit". Is that your and Nancy's bit or mine
or Gail's (listed in decreasing order of fat content).

Speaking of Nancy, she and you could share this one.
