Understandable; we all have them. (G)
And becoming more frequent, though as with most
seniles, more distant memories are more accurate
than recent ones.
Sigh! Any better the second time around?
I like to claim relative consistency, if not
total accuracy.
Consistancy is good, beats remembering something a different way each
time the memory is recalled. Of course some of those that took mind
trips in the 60s may recall things different;y with each rehash. (G)
Consistency is mostly a good thing. Think on these two
quotations (that I don't necessarily agree with), though.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
- John Kenneth Galbraith
I'd guess that the less sooty candles are also
less effective in odor neutralizing.
They actually do a really good job.
H'm - maybe they put out chemicals other than
those present in ordinary candle smoke.
Don't know, they're quite clean burning.
Visible smudge is not the only by-product
of combustion.
that piece of "music" either.
Would you rather do P.D.Q. Bach's "1712 Overture"?
No offense to the usually very gifted Dr. Schickele,
I find that piece almost as boring as the real thing.
It is regrettable, but the piece seems to be a product
of the Dull and Late Show of his career.
That CD was what got our girls interested in classical music. They were
just the right ages to appreciate the subtle humor of it.
So it served its purpose. The first couple albums
were fresh and interesting, then oldness seems to
have taken over; but if they made an audience, or
made an audience more educated, all the better.
I've not smelled tobacco smoke in a restaurant in
Germany in at least the last decade. My memory banks
don't seem to retrieve anything before then, but
when I visited my friend the Moor in the '90s, it
seems that even at the Michelin-starred place people
did light up after dinner.
I guess one of these days I'll have to save up my pennies, then spend
them on a trip over there.
Highly recommended.
Stating the obvious yet again, my experience is
far from typical, even among the so-called frequent
flyers.
True, we've all got different experiences/outlooks.
And I'm an outlier anyway.
More so than most anyone else on the echo.
I should hope so.
A friend of mine used to go out of her way to
drive on byways where one could linger on the
skunk smells when they occurred. It is reported
OTOH, I'd try to keep as far away as possible. We don't have many in
our area, thankfully.
In modest concentration, the odor is not too
unpleasing, sort of like that touch of hing
of which we've been speaking.
to me, though, that she's now a homeless person.
If true, sad.
Likely true - reported by a mutual friend.
Wish in one hand.......................
What on earth does that mean?
I'll explain at the picnic.

Title: Bean Burrito Layers
Categories: Beans, Vegetarian, Mexican
Servings: 4
1/2 c Green Lentils; dried
1/4 c Pinto Beans; dried
1/4 c Red Kidney Beans; dried
1/4 c Baby Lima Beans; dried
1 Onion; medium
4 Garlic Cloves
2 Jalapeno Peppers *
1 tb Oregano; dried
1 tb Chili Powder
1/4 c Coriander Leaves; chopped
6 oz Monterey Jack Cheese; grated
6 Flour Tortillas; 10"
1 Tomato; medium, chopped
1 Lettuce; shredded
1 Salsa
Rinse lentils and beans, discarding any that look suspicious, and soak in
clean water 4 - 6 hours, or overnight. Put into medium saucepan, bring
to
boil and simmer, covered, 30 minutes. Add water if necessary.
Peel and chop onion. Microwave on "High" 2 - 2 1/2 minutes until soft.
[If
you prefer, you may saute the onion in about 2 T. oil. I omit the oil to
keep the fat content down. The flavour does not seem to suffer.] Chop
the
Jalapena pepper. (*) Adjust the quantity to your own taste and / or
tolerance.
Peel and crush the garlic.
Drain the lentil-bean mixture. Reserve 1/2 cup of liquor. In a food
processor puree the lentil-bean mixture, the onion, the garlic, the
jalapena peppers, the oregano, the chile powder, and the coriander
leaves,
adding some of the reserved liquor as necessary to process. [The final
puree should be quite thick.]
Pre-heat the oven to 325 F.
Assemble as follows on an oven-proof plate, pizza-pan or cookie-sheet:
Place a flour tortilla on the *lightly* greased surface. Cover with
lentil-bean puree [4 - 5 T.]. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Add
another flour tortilla and repeat, saving enough cheese to cover the top
of
the final flour tortilla. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to "firm-up" for 5 - 10 minutes before
serving.
Garnish with salsa, chopped tomato and shredded lettuce. Serve with
rice,
Couscous and / or corn.
The amount of oregano, coriander leaves, chile powder, or jalapena
peppers
may be varied to suit individual tastes. I use more peppers! If you're
prone to "problems" with beans, add 1/4 - 1/2 t. Hing [Hing is a mixture
of
rice-flour, turmeric and asafoetida <ass-uh-fuh-TEE-duh> found in most
East-Indian specialty stores. It can significantly reduce flatulence.
Source unknown. M would not soak the lentils for more than an hour.
MMMMM
