Took me a long time before I tried anothe recipe using them. We've never
put them on pizza since but I have used them in other things, not really noticing their presence. I'd probably be able to detect a difference in
taste if I didn't use them but haven't tried to compare a with/with out tasting.

Not really noticing their presence is the key.

Anchovies, jalapenos, hamburger, corn, pineapple?

Pineapple is actually pretty good with ham. I've also had pizza with
ground beef on--ok, but not as good as sausage. Don't know if I'd want
one with anchovies, corn or jalapenos.

All available at certain pizza places. Perhaps
not in that particular combination (one hopes).

This was big in HI tho I never made it. Might, one of these days tho, it
does look interesting.

It's popular everywhere there are cattle and
poor people.

Raw potato salad
categories: raw, vegetarian, salad, Hawaiian
servings: 4

4 lg russet potatoes
3/4 lb daikon
4 lg leaves iceberg lettuce, shredded
Radish and alfalfa sprouts for garnish
Angelo Pietro salad dressing

Peel potatoes and daikon, cut off ends and slice each
piece lengthwise half-way through (do not split the
pieces). This keeps the slices from getting too long.

Using a hand-crank or electric vegetable shredder,
shred the potatoes and daikon. Place the shreds
immediately into a bowl of water. Rinse until water
runs clear to remove starch and prevent oxidation
and browning. Refrigerate overnight, soaked in water.
If serving immediately, submerge in ice water for
5 min to crisp potatoes.

To serve, drain well. Place a mound of the potato-daikon
mix atop a bed of lettuce. Garnish with sprouts and
serve with dressing on the side.

Note: Angelo Pietro salad dressings in Shoyu, Ume and
Sesame-Miso flavors are sold at the restaurant and most
[Hawaii] supermarkets (but not Safeway). If desired,
substit your favorite dressing.

Hi Michael,

not going anywhere near one if I can help it.

OTOH, I was working with it just before I started Fido. Found

Higher tension, perhaps.

I just attribute it to old, inexpensive thread.

Without a challenge, old, inexpensive thread might
have done okay.

I'll use it for hand sewing/basting. It also worked well in the serger
so may use it up there.

some old > ML> > stuff my MIL gave me. Had a lot of problems so

And the thread might have dried out?

Probably so, plus the fact it wasn't a better quality one to begin

with.

Likewise.

See above for how it will be used.

I see pets in the household as largely a
working relationship, as in deputing them to
take care of small but important chores, such
as insect and rodent control.

We used to say our cats were hired for the mousekeeping job.

That's probably what they were donesticated for
in the first place - they saved more food than
they ate.

Probably so, as most cats foraged their own food for years before
commercial cat food came on the market. Pet food is a huge industry but
indoor, city pets can't hunt their own food so owners have to provide
it. But, I've noticed that there are all kinds of foods--senior cat,
kitten, those with certain health issues, high in one or another
ingredient for a special need, etc, etc, almost to the point of
ridiculous.

IMO, dogs smell worse than cats. For the most part, the

latter are > ML> > cleaner smelling.

They both smell; dogs worse, I admit.

Especially a dirty dog.

Ever smelled a dirty cat? They do get that way

themselves. Surprisingly nasty.

No, I've not smelled a cat that smelled as bad as a dirty dog.

My stomach would hope not either.

All right, you're the one calling the shots on this one.

That's the point I've been trying to make
all along.

I think most of us on the echo tend to talk to the doctors instead of
the doctor trying to talk down to us.

Cortisone opens its own can of worms.

One that we didn't want to open up.

Sometimes you need it, but as I pointed out
to Dale, there are diminishing returns.

As Steve has noticed with his thumb. I didn't want to go that route.

Everything has its place in moderation,
including moderation.

Yes, and he's had several shots in the thumb area, seems that they're
not as effective as the first ones.

Plus I know others, not on the echo, that have had them.

Of course - we're not of the delusion that the echo
is the only social contact we have.

True, we're not hermits. (G)

Well, some of us might be, who knows.

One guy I pointed off of in AZ might have fit the description.

Bugs are okay if fried; also a cheap source
of protein, especially important where protein
is at a premium.

Still don't think I'd chow down on them.

I know that; what I meant is knowingly eating a whole bug.
