• 927 various was picnic

    The tag line with #891 was the one the system pre-selected, pure coincidence. I might have chosen it but the program did it for me.

    This sort of thing happens with some frequency here.
    And sometimes you don't even get to select--the program just sends you
    on to the next message. I've noticed it more with this computer than the
    one I had before.

    Could be just a settings issue.

    Something for nothing always struck me as
    somewhat unfair, whereas something for almost
    nothing or just a token payment takes away
    some of the shame or whatever it is.
    Helps both of us out in the long run.
    Depends on the magnitude of the something.
    True, but most of the time a small something means a lot.

    It may or may not; I don't concern myself
    with that most of the time.

    Well, weren't most of the LDS settlers of
    Isles heritage (the way early mainstream
    American Protestants were largely from
    mainland Europe. I'd expect Mormon food
    to be wholesome, sweet and salt, and boring
    (as I've encountered it - though among the
    younger set, there's a lot of use of cayenne
    pepper, because that spice is said to be an
    allowed natural stimulant).
    We saw a good number of ethnic places, ate in a Hawaiian one one day we
    were there. Didn't get to try a Greek or Middle Eastern place this trip, maybe next time. The Italian one we ate at had an ok calamari (I wasn't impressed with the marinara sauce.) but the chicken Caesar salad was a
    big disappointment. But, we've only begin to find out what's available
    in the area for eats.

    Hah, chicken Caesar seems to me to be a
    very invitation to disappointment!

    Possibly hand cut but I think not. Didn't seem to be so.
    Raggedy and jaggedy means hand-cut to me.
    Possibly, but somebody wasn't paying attention to the cutting.
    So no machine would have produced the effect.
    Someone not paying attention to the machine could have done likewise.

    Depends I suppose on the kind of irregularity of
    the cutting, but in most cases jaggedy is going
    to mean hand-cut.

    True; it doesn't take much to slice up a few flour tortillas and
    toss > them into oil for a minute or so.
    They might not have had flour tortillas, and
    they would have used the same oil they'd used
    to fry corn in earlier anyway.
    The oil wouldn't have bothered Steve, unless it was corn oil. He can
    take corn starch in foods; we've not isolated corn oil to test its
    effects.

    So the amount of whatever-it-is that leaches
    out of the corn into the oil is negligible?

    I have just two words for you - knife and fork.
    I've done that also, many times.
    Q.E.D., I guess.
    All comes out in the wash.

    Sometimes.

    Does she appreciate others reminding her of appointments and such
    like? > If you're in semi regular contact, a note, as part of an

    As with me, it would likely backfire.
    So hopefully she's improving.

    In any case that's true.

    I won't shoot the piano player, nor the player piano.
    There have been piano players I've been
    tempted to strangle, though.
    Agreed. (G)

    And conductors. Most often conductors.

    I'll take small amounts of it. Sad to say tho, some cooks think that
    if > a little is good, a lot is better. Most of the time we'll ask the waiter > (or waitress) about the amount used, especially if the menu
    is vague.
    That way of thinking works with few ingredients,
    mostly garlic.
    I'd rather have too much garlic than too much cilantro.

    I'd rather have too little garlic than too much cilantro.

    Possible, but nothing to lose sleep over.

    Hah, chicken Caesar seems to me to be a
    very invitation to disappointment!

    Depends; we've had some really good ones, some not so good and most of
    them being nothing special. this was memorable for being of poor
    quality.

    Not sure what it is but corn starch doesn't bother him, corn kernels do.

    Sometimes.

    Use a good stain remover and most stains do.

    That's true, so would I.
