We all can say that about some things introduced to us at
echo events. For me, most of these are vegetables or dairy
products, some starchy things. Quinoa anyone?

IMO it's not bad but I like couscous better. Sometimes a new gadget

I dislike couscous less as well, but that's like your
standard high-glycemic wheat product.

catches our eye and we have to give it a try. The veggie spiraliser
Steve was playing with a couple of years ago at Shipps hasn't been used

Figures.

since (only cost about $4.85). OTOH, the sous vide has been used several times since we got it this spring.

Ian as it turns out was really enamored of the technique and
spent a bunch of time playing with various baths while we were
visiting them.

It's also possible that there might have been rogue outfits
that wouldn't conform to the dictated standard, but that
probably didn't get very far.

Probably so. The telephone company where I grew up is still independent,
not sure who provides their long distance service. We didn't get dial
service until I was about 10 years old.

Differing interpretations of the word independent - of course
they couldn't be totally independent, otherwise they'd be
isolated. Who owns them?

Sounds good. We've ppicked up the Boston butt for smoking but not

really > much of anything else yet.
There's probably not that much that needs to be
done far ahead of time.

Other than get the house squared away, no. I will make up butter blend,
a couple of loaves of bread, etc when we get home from this trip. Other cooking will probably start Wed.; not sure what we will do for the main "eats" day.

We can do as we have done before and visit the stores
to see what looks both good and fun.

Better to have the book and not the card than the card and not the

book > the way you travel.
I actually never saw the point of the card except if it be
for those who tend to lose things. For me it is a backup
in case of severe mishap.

It's good if you don't want to schlep the book to Canada, Mexico, I
think Carribean on non flying trips. First two I know accept it for
travel by auto, don't know if the last accepts it for boat travel.

Hey, even the big book is less than 3 ounces, and the
regular-size book is probably half that.
