Yeah, I had to look it up myself after Lilli told me about
how much her son's place is worth (can you say instant
millionaire? I thought you could). Your information would
have been current in the last century.

My poking around has been almost completely due to
keeping up with the conversations here. Five years
ago, I did little of this, relying on actual facts
actually gotten, but it's hard to do as things change
so rapidly.

I only look if there's a tag or estate sale most of the time. I'm
checking for how long the current owners have lived there. (The longer
the residence is in the same hands, the better the stuff tends to be.)

That makes sense and would be what I thought.

Yeep. That makes Boston look cheap.

It makes New York City seem cheap.

That takes some doing.

By the way, don't believe everything you read, for
example Investopedia, which has its contradiction
within a couple lines in the same article on this
subject, probably owing to insufficient updating.

market, though it ended up pretty average. His plan would
have made the assets go nearly in half.

Maybe for once he had it right?

I don't know, unless there's a good reason for it, losing
that percentage would be problematic.

There is that.

There's not much else, by his metric.

Snot in pocket.

It washes out, and besides, it's better than snot
in soup.

Or snot in someone else's soup. Or someone else's in yours.

Bird's nest.

We could probably already power a lot of the country on

Hmmm - some bright young millenial ought to get to work on that.

Somebody will no doubt soon. Sewage will have to be
dealt with sometime or other, and making it into
something useful makes more sense than anything else.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: EGGPLANT KHORESH
Categories: Main dish, Stews, Vegetables
Yield: 1 Batch

2 Eggplants; sliced
Salt
1 lg Onion
2 tb Butter or oil
1 lb Lean stewing beef or lamb
-- cubed
1/4 c Brown lentils*
-or-
1/4 c Yellow split peas*
2 1/2 c ;Water to cover (approx.)
Salt and black pepper
1/2 To 1 ts. turmeric (opt'l.)
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon (opt'l.)
1/4 ts Grated nutmeg (opt'l.)
2 tb Butter
2 tb Dried crushed mint**
1 To 2 garlic cloves; crushed

*Soaked for a few hours.

** My note: Personally, I think dried mint tastes like sawdust and
would either omit the mint or use about 6 tb. fresh mint instead.

Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and leave them to drain in a
colander for at least 30 minutes to rid them of their bitter juices.

Chop the onion finely and set aside 1 tb. to use as a garnish. Fry
the remainder in 2 tb. butter or oil until soft and golden. Add the
meat and brown the cubes on all sides. Add the drained lentils and
cover with water. Season to taste with salt and pepper; simmer
gently for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the meat is tender and the lentils
are soft. Turmeric may be added for color if you like, and a little
cinnamon and nutmeg may be included for a mild aroma.

Wash the salt off the eggplant slices, pat them dry, and saute in
about 2 tb. butter or oil until soft and golden. Add them to the
stew and cook for 15 minutes longer.

A traditional and very tasty garnish is made by frying the reserved
chopped onion in a little butter or oil until soft and golden, then
adding dried mint and garlic, and frying for only 1 minute longer.

Serve the sauce in a bowl, garnished with this mixture, as an
accompaniment to a large dish of plain, fluffy white rice.

Variation: Add the juice of 1 lemon (in Iran "oman," or dried
lemons, are used) and 1/2 lb. skinned and chopped tomatoes or 4 tb.
tomato paste.

Roden also notes that chicken can be substituted for the beef or veal
and says that a zucchini sauce can be prepared in the same way,
substituting 1 lb. whole zucchini for the 2 eggplants.

My poking around has been almost completely due to

I look locally when I'm hunting information on estate or tag sales.
Googling the house can give me a big clue about if the sale is going
to be worth the effort or not.

be.)

That makes sense and would be what I thought.

It's not 100% reliable, but sometimes if there's been a recent sale
you can still get a virtual tour of the house.

By the way, don't believe everything you read, for
example Investopedia, which has its contradiction
within a couple lines in the same article on this
subject, probably owing to insufficient updating.

Can't say I ever looked at it.

Or snot in someone else's soup. Or someone else's in yours.

Yep. Snot it is.

dealt with sometime or other, and making it into

I was thinking more of harnessing bean stew, but the garbage pile
would be highly useful.

When I can sit down in one spot long enough to make the trip in less
than one day. (i.e. at this point probably never unfortunately) There
are junk junkies all over however. If you sell it, they will come.
Like a horde of descending locusts, in fact.
