• 199 picnic day, not n

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to BILL SWISHER on Thursday, November 07, 2019 09:07:52
    Funny thing is that for no apparent reason I'm beginning to
    dislike bitter tastes and even in the last month 85-90%
    chocolate has begun to bother me.
    You might get weaned off all those frou-frou, over hopped, designer adult beverages yet.

    As opposed to yellow water in a can? Maybe - the other day
    an MGD sounded good to me, but I resisted. I'm still not
    hopfree. Speaking of all that, I'm thinking of arriving in
    Phoenix on American Pi Day (the other being July 22) and
    seeing games on the 15th to 19th or 20th. Hotels are a
    conundrum still, as is the recipe you posted, a peculiar
    thing to have saved.

    Title: Vegetarian Chopped Liver
    1 1/2 c Green beans; pulverized
    -(cooked)

    In real chopped liver I detect no greeny beany notes
    and wonder what purpose this ingredient serves. I might
    almost believe pureed brown beans of some kind, even
    refritos, but not this. Or are the green things
    intended to give the visual impression of bile?

    2 ea Hard boiled eggs; grated
    -use 3 or 4 whites instead

    Too much. Of course, I think that some real chopped
    livers have too much egg.

    1/4 c Walnuts; pulverized/toasted
    1/2 c Onion; finely minced
    -sauted till soft in oil
    1 T Dry white wine
    Salt;
    Black pepper;

    These ingredients make sense, but I'd prefer the
    mushroom-based fake liver. Actually, I really prefer
    the real thing.

    pn Nutmeg
    1 T Mayonnaise; low cal?

    Another couple oddities.

    Title: Miss American Pie
    Categories: Fruits, Desserts

    Topping
    -Can) 21 oz Tart Cherry Pie Filling

    This cold pie would be just the thing to serve on the Fourth Of July
    picnic.

    Yield: 1 10-inch pie

    Pour the blueberry pie filling into the baked crust and chill for 20
    minutes. Beat the cream cheese, adding the powdered sugar to it, until
    smooth. Fold in the whipped topping. Spread the cheese mixture on top
    of
    the blueberry pie filling. Chill another 20 minutes. Gently spread the
    cherry pie filling on top of the cheese mixture and chill at least 4
    hours
    before serving.

    Quoting Michael Loo to Bill Swisher <=-

    As opposed to yellow water in a can? Maybe - the other day
    an MGD sounded good to me, but I resisted. I'm still not
    hopfree. Speaking of all that, I'm thinking of arriving in

    I tend to think of it as a "beverage", and lower alcohol is a plus. I quit drinking MGD, started tasting sour to me.

    Phoenix on American Pi Day (the other being July 22) and
    seeing games on the 15th to 19th or 20th. Hotels are a

    Looks good to me. My thinking is that I will pick you up at the airport on the
    15th. First game on Monday the 16th, and dump you at the airport after the game on Friday the 20th. I'll figure out the games later. But I'd guess rooms
    on the east side for Sunday and Thursday nights, with the west side between, maybe I'll get all crazy and find a game at Scottsdale, we're both placard carrying gimps so that should assuage parking.

    I want to leave Lake Havasu a little early this year. My plan is to drive, gonna buy another used car for Anchorage, over the Canadian border on March 31st and into Alaska on April 4. I'm looking for a car now, but my ICD needs to be swapped out and that gets priority.
