    Depends on the criminals, and the Weird. Who are sometimes the

    I've been in that kind of condition, who am treating
    the invalid Lilli to two nights in the Hilton Paris
    (as opposed to Paris Hilton) and then flying to Munich
    on Lufthansa business class.
    Not the worst itinerary.

    By a long shot. Lilli bettered up a bit, and we remet
    after a little snag caused by United abetted by Lilli's
    not getting my messages and did a laundry ... where some
    foreign matter got into the wash machine, and two learns
    were learned today - don't run panty liners through the
    wash, and don't drink a mouthful of root beer down the
    wrong pipe while laughing about it. I'm still coughing
    up sugar water an hour later.

    makes me wonder if anyone has ever devised an edible
    potato (not yam) ice cream.
    I'm told some have done a mashed potato ice cream. I'm not sure
    why.
    As Edmund Hillary said, Because it's there.
    Challenge accepted? I've heard of black pepper too.
    The one that weirds me out is olive oil ice cream. I mean ... why?

    The last I've had. It's not horrid, just a little
    strange - it's served with an appetizer, not as
    dessert.

    find a Thai joint now. Two Thai places have opened in my area in
    the
    last year.
    Are they Kosher?
    Only on Christmas.

    A custom I always found peculiar.

    ConEd is right in there pitching too.

    sure.

    Panty liners and paper tissues. I'm forever washing the tissues.

    Just as well. It might work well with an olive oil cake.

    It's Tradition if you're East Coast Jewish. Movies and whatever's
    open on Christmas. In really traditional households it's Chinese
    food, but less observant folks will go out for Thai, Indian etc too.
