    If a sewing machine knew I was trying to use it,
    it'd probably try to drive the needle through
    my finger.

    Steve found out a few years ago. Cats, on the other hand, will go to
    whomever they choose but you can't make a cat cuddle if it doesn't want
    to.

    And it's really hard to get a cat not to cuddle
    with you if it wants to. Or a dog, as was shown
    to me yet again a couple days ago.

    be bad? Clue: all of it.
    You forgot the bread. (G) I don't really taste the anchovies in Caesar
    salad, makes me half wonder if most places leave them out these days.
    Other option is that my taste buds just don't pick up on their flavor.

    I can tell the presence or absence of anchovies;
    doesn't actually matter to me either way, given
    how I don't care for most of the dishes they
    appear in. Bread, well, I accept croutons for
    what they are.

    Cornstarch is so refined it is probably neutral
    to all but the most severe sufferers.
    But it's still corn, so we had to try it out to see how it affected

    Yes, better to try things in controlled
    conditions, lest something untoward happen.
    Which we don't want.

    Air pressure probably not. The dryness possibly.
    Mostly it's my general tendency to bleed, plus
    the Plavix regimen, plus any possible heightening
    of blood pressure for whatever reason.
    OK, so hopefully you can get it under control by tweaking some part of
    the equation.

    The doctor whom I don't like in the tagteam of
    my caregivers told me that I most definitively
    would die soon if I didn't take the aspirin-Plavix
    cocktail, so when he was out of sight I told his
    partner that I was considering discontinuing the
    stuff, and this latter guy actually got a look of
    fear on his face; so I continued using it, despite
    bleeding in some interesting spots. I'm coming up
    on the 6 months, which is the European guideline
    for this therapy.

    Title: Green Corn Tamales
    Looks to me to be more Salvadoran or something.
    I've seen it in Mexican cook books before. Haven't, for obvious reasons, tried making them.

    That recipe looked south central American. I can't
    speak to whether Mexicans make green corn tamales;
    suppose they do.

    Hi Michael,

    It's as if the computer were programming you
    rather than the other way round. Sort of like
    cats, except cats are cuddly.
    Sort of, in the way that sewing machines adapt to their primary user
    as

    If a sewing machine knew I was trying to use it,
    it'd probably try to drive the needle through
    my finger.

    OTOH, they purr like kittens for me.


    Steve found out a few years ago. Cats, on the other hand, will go to whomever they choose but you can't make a cat cuddle if it doesn't
    want > to.

    And it's really hard to get a cat not to cuddle
    with you if it wants to. Or a dog, as was shown
    to me yet again a couple days ago.

    I know, the kitten we had when we first got married was a
    cuddler--usually on my text book as I was trying to read it for the
    classes I took to finish my degree. Sam (the cocker spaniel) thought he
    was a lap dog, especially if the lap was Deborah's.

    We like the parts, both individually and combined.
    Mmm. Lettuce, anchovies, cheese, what could
    be bad? Clue: all of it.
    You forgot the bread. (G) I don't really taste the anchovies in
    Caesar > salad, makes me half wonder if most places leave them out

    I can tell the presence or absence of anchovies;
    doesn't actually matter to me either way, given
    how I don't care for most of the dishes they
    appear in. Bread, well, I accept croutons for
    what they are.

    Steve tried putting some anchovies underneath the cheese in a pizza I
    mad once. He was rather generous with them--nobody ate much pizza that
    night. I've used small amounts in various things from time to time but
    usually in amounts that blend in with the rest of the dish.

    Cornstarch is so refined it is probably neutral
    to all but the most severe sufferers.
    But it's still corn, so we had to try it out to see how it
    affected > ML> him.
    Yes, better to try things in controlled
    conditions, lest something untoward happen.
    Which we don't want.

    Air pressure probably not. The dryness possibly.
    Mostly it's my general tendency to bleed, plus

    bleeding in some interesting spots. I'm coming up
    on the 6 months, which is the European guideline
    for this therapy.

    So have a good talk with the doctor, preferrably the favored one, about
    keeping up with it or discontinuing.

    I believe they do, have to check some of my Mexican cook books to verify
    tho.

    The Amish make a similar corn relish in quantity also. I would, but for
    Steve's problems with it.
