We could have been talking about roast leg of insurance
salesman (another Flanders and Swann conceit) - It's only
meat. Just because it comes from a human ... .
Long pig... ;)
Though it has been said that eating people is more like
eating sheep - I've reported here Idi Amin's practice of
inviting people over for a meal of mutton, which was his
political enemies repurposed.
Not really... I'm sure CT Ruth meant chicken intended for human consumption, as opposed to coming from a can designated as cat food...
and certainly not chicken-tasting humans.... ;)
I dunno, maybe she wanted to buck the trend.
Nah, we're talking CT Ruth here... ;)
Buck buck buck - you say she's chicken to try it?
thinks the plural of spouse is spice... ;)
If you have more than one spouse, that might qualify
as spice.
It might...
Although it's also said that the penalty for bigamy is
having two mothers-in-law.
By the way, is a pureed shrimp soup flow scampi?
Wouldn't it need to have lots of garlic in it...? ;)
Not necessarily, but that would sound like a sensible
addition.
I'd think so... :)
Of course, as noted here in other contexts, if you use
enough garlic, you can dispense with expensive ingredients
and just make pollock and potato puree instead.
That's why humans have opposable thumbs.
That could be an additional use for the opposable thumb, indeed... :)
I reread, and my eyes said 875 miles, and I thought,
gee, New York isn't THAT big.
No, not quite... ;)
Going down the Thruway it sometimes seems it.
Yeah. Bonnie's audiologist has touted a nouveau hearing aid
that automatically switches among voices at a conference. Of
course, that would seem to mean that the loudest voice would
be the only one heard. Maybe, though, that's what happens at
meetings anyway,
There is that...
We attended one of our meetings, which the president in his
wisdom limited to an hour of committee reports, half of which
consisted of "um" and "er" with a large number of pauses in
between. There was one Virginia gentleman named I believe Ryan
Tolliver, our new treasurer, who spoke volubly and rapidly,
using his allotted time to present more information than the
others combined.
Very cool, and some Russian serf is listening in on every
word, no doubt.
Dunno... not that it would much matter, in most cases anyway...
The idea is that there may come through some stray bits of
information that combined could shed useful light on otherwise
opaque situations.
Probably one of the most important things in doing a
crime is to minimize the chance of getting caught, and
being elsewhere is a good way for doing that.
As long as it can be kept in the "elsewhere"... (G)
Much more difficult to do these days, being elsewhere.
A lot more connectivity between almost everything...
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02
Title: Rice and Beans
Categories: Chinese, Beans, Desserts
Yield: 4 or provide
3/4 c Mung beans
Water
1/4 c Rice
Water
6 tb Sugar
Water
Soak beans in water for 5 hours. Get rid of green skins, if any, that
float to the surface; you might encourage then to come off by rubbing
the beans between your hands; drain. Rinse rice three times in water;
drain. Put rice and beans in a pot. Add 4 c water and bring to a boil
for 1 minute; then lower the heat, and let simmer for 1 hr. Add sugar
to taste (the 6 T called for might not be enough for Western tastes).
Stir, ladle into soup bowls, and serve warm.
