Yeah, right. (G) Seriously, I will try to get that transcribed to a
better format before much longer. That will help jog my memory when I go
to finish the project, instead of trying to wonder what those obscure
notes and numbers referred to.

As I see it, the reason for collecting photographic
evidence of your notes (or the artisanry itself) is
to make replicating your procedures easier in the
future - putting the knowledge into the bank and
the bank back in the knowledge bank.

The advantage of the new rules goes to the
ones who end up betting almost everything at
the end and getting it wrong. This would seem
to add another layer of gamesmanship.

True, and I've seen quite a few go for broke in hopes of a big win. Some
make it, some don't. Even if you finish in the red and don't get to the
Final Jeopardy round, you still get $1,000 tho.

I wonder what the stress does to these folks.
Is it worth it for a potential financial gain?
For me it wouldn't be.

Could just be a change in reporting methods or
methods of estimation, too.

Not worth my time/effort to research at this point.

It never was, probably even for those who got
the grants to crunch the numbers.

They get paid to do the number crunching; I don't.

It's relevant to know - being an educated consumer
is as important in the information market as elsewhere.
Might not be the absolute first priority, I can
understand that, but it's a very worthwhile pursuit.

The first one we saw in WF was very off putting--and we've heard

similar > from other people about him. I think the only reason he
stays in

practice is that some people like that kind of "treatment."

There is apparently not a dearth of masochists.

And some people just prefer to do as the doctor tells them to, because
he (or she) has that medical degree.

But health care is not a spectator sport!

We've had the suggestion that there's really no
reason to confine ourselves to midsummer, when it
is too hot for old people. What would your time
preferences be?

September would be a good time for us, probably the whole month. I don't
know when the rally is set for but we could also work around that in
October. November and later is pushing too close to the holidays.

November is too cold anyway for many of us.

Warm Brie and Fruit
1 md round brie cheese
1 jar fruit compote or chutney
1 c mixed unsalted nuts

I'd just as soon have the nuts on the side with this. I've seen similar, where the brie is topped with jam or chutney, wrapped in phyllo & baked,
then served.

I've seen that too, with frozen flaky pastry
dough doing the heavy lifting.

Simple Chabad-Style Charoset
categories: KfP, relish, pareve
yield: 1 batch

1 red apple
1 pear
1 c chopped or ground walnuts
1/2 c sweet red wine

Peel and finely dice the apple and pear. Mix
in the ground nuts and wine. Refrigerate until
serving. Add a little more wine immediately
before serving.

evidence of your notes (or the artisanry itself) is
to make replicating your procedures easier in the
future - putting the knowledge into the bank and
the bank back in the knowledge bank.

Taking pictures of a project (especially if they're on the phone) will
let me share my work with others. Some of it does help jog my memory as
to what I did or need to do to create or re create a step in the process
or the finished product. A lot of my quilts are given away so I like to
have a photographic record of them.

The advantage of the new rules goes to the
ones who end up betting almost everything at
the end and getting it wrong. This would seem
to add another layer of gamesmanship.

Probably the 15 minutes of fame in the home town offsets any stress
incurred. Some longer term winners might have more stress; you never
really are fully stress free in a situation like that tho some people
handle it so well you don't know it's there.

Could just be a change in reporting methods or
methods of estimation, too.

It's relevant to know - being an educated consumer
is as important in the information market as elsewhere.
Might not be the absolute first priority, I can
understand that, but it's a very worthwhile pursuit.

So I'll let others so the search/research and I'll read up on the
results, applying whatever's relevant to to me, discarding what isn't.

Especially if you want to have outdoor activities like grilling.
November weather here is iffy--some days would be ideal for grilling and
eating outside, others are better for staying inside, curled up with a
book. (G)

Makes it easy for the cook.
