although he was thinking that another possibility might just have been some rich dude from downstate planning to put in a large farm... The
sound did seem to be coming from that direction....

I'm wondering why clearing for development should make
that kind of noise.

They're using that sort of explosives to get the tree trunks out...?

There has to be a cheaper and less annoying way.

At least from our perspective... I do think though of the Bach extended family, with church (and other) musicians for generations, the training happening in the family, and available for use in the church...

Not too many music directors had 21 kids.

I was also thinking of the generations before JS Bach... And there were
other family musical dynasties at the time...

True, but they had to be pretty ragtag orchestras.

I've seen all sorts. Some have been really good. Some, not so.

As would be expected...

Now when Lilli took the Austrian Airlines flight attendant
training, the instructors at least seemed crackerjack.

You'd hope they would be... :)

You'd hope all of them were crackerjack, especially
the ones working the day you had an accident.

And that's a good thing, if the community can afford it.

Apparently it can... or at least the extended community... :)

The one extreme makes the most effect for a few clients,
but the extended community, though it makes mistakes and
inefficiency, has the greatest reach, of course.

Seems to be working pretty well here...

That's as desired. As desired doesn't always come to pass.

We're hoping against hope that humanity is perfectible.

I know better, at least for here.... but at least humanity doesn't have
to be as bad as it could be.... ;)

Every time we figure things are getting better, something
happens that dashes our hopes.

and we didn't have any milk, so I just omitted it.

So you just used water....?

Yeah, I was toying with the idea of adding another egg but
didn't.

That can work nicely, too... :)

Adding protein sometimes has unexpected consequences,
in dessert-making anyway.

Cream is a good thing in many contexts. I seldom use
whipped cream except for company. It tastes good on
company, er, pudding.

[snicker]

Pudding, not candy bara.

(So I noticed in the recipe you appended below) ;) I might be more careful elsewhere....

It's not fully jocular ... and our own system is
not at all the best one.

I do take some of that sort of thing into account... such as, I'd not
get raw milk from certain dairy farmers I know, whose farms are not at
all very sanitary.... Skip's, on the other hand, I have no issues with
at all...

So why don't they crack down on the unsanitary farms?

HALAYA - UBE
categories: Pacific, dessert
yield: 1 batch

2 lb ube (purple yam) or powdered ube
250 g sugar
1 c sugar (or as desired)
1 cn condensed milk
2 c coconut milk
butter

Boil yam until tender and cut into cubes,
then grind in a food processor with sugar
and coconut milk (if you have the powdered
variety, mix ingredients). Transfer to a
sauce pan, add the condensed milk (if
starting from fresh) and cook over a low fire,
stirring continuously. Continue stirring until
the mixture turns into a thick paste and
separates from the pan. Transfer to a
shallow platter or pan and allow to cool.

Replying from the Pond, 12 October, about noon...

Could be it's what's at hand, and the annoyance factor isn't taken into account... Just asked the kid if he ever found out what had caused what
we heard, and he said no, but that it definitely was blasting of some
sort... speculated that maybe it was being used to blast out rock for a
road realignment... he heard it again a few days later... There are a
number of newly resurfaced roads in the area, and some of them I'd not
been on previously so don't know if the alignment was changed any...

At least from our perspective... I do think though of the Bach extended family, with church (and other) musicians for generations, the training happening in the family, and available for use in the church...

True, but they had to be pretty ragtag orchestras.

Not necessarily... Think of the Schubert or Mendelsohn soirees....

I've seen all sorts. Some have been really good. Some, not so.

Also true... but nice when it happens... :)

We're hoping against hope that humanity is perfectible.

to be as bad as it could be.... ;)

Every time we figure things are getting better, something
happens that dashes our hopes.

My answers to this are skating on off-topic, so I'll desist... Should I
take it to email...?

and we didn't have any milk, so I just omitted it.

So you just used water....?

Yeah, I was toying with the idea of adding another egg but
didn't.

That can work nicely, too... :)

Adding protein sometimes has unexpected consequences,
in dessert-making anyway.

Or subtracting it, for that matter...

Cream is a good thing in many contexts. I seldom use
whipped cream except for company. It tastes good on
company, er, pudding.

I'm guessing that either they fly under the radar (being primarily only
for personal use) or they manage to meet minimum standards.... I know
that when Lydia was living on her in-laws dairy farm for a time, when
she'd come into town, her car would reek of dairy farm... at Skip's,
we'd not smell that even on the farm itself....

... Isn't it strange how "wise" resembles being old and tired?
