Indeed. I'm quite happy to have had the cataracts removed... it did
help with quality of life... Dunno that it'll make much difference as to longevity, except for probably helping to prevent accidents that might have jumped out unseen.... ;)

Considering it's Lilli, that might be relevant.

I was thinking along those lines... :)

Yeah. We need to find more creative ways of
saying yeah and nah on the echo.

Hard to miss for anyone who wasn't living under
a rock at the time (though, frankly, there have
been several periods in my life when I'd have been
happier living under a rock).

I hear you... and can think of a few in mine as well, likewise... ;)

Sigh, yeah.

Life being what it is... :)

Yeah. Or: "it is what it is," a phrase that
I detest.

Ah.. So somewhat like Ben and Jerry's, or Wegmans' premium ice
creams... richer, and with catchy names... ;)

There are a bunch of catchy names, 'tis true.
There's even been some controversy. You could
look it up.

I could, but probably wouldn't... ;) I remember some with B&J's...

Yeah. Try tinyurl.com/peachy000

Which you are ok with...? Hopefully it is a fairly quick taper...

If I hadn't been I wouldn't have. It's a severe but
not so quick taper.

As long as you are off those meds soon... they worry me....

Part of the compromise was staying on the
low-dose aspirin for an indefinite period.
Interestingly, I seem to be habituating to
the stuff; the problem (which the medical
community doesn't seem to see) is that that
kind of adaptation could also mean a decline
in effectiveness of the therapy.

JW> Michael can educate them that their recipes aren't NDN enough! [g]

If the modern day NA's are coming up with recipes, wouldn't they be considered properly Native...? ;)

No more than the recipes Ian and I have come up
with or perfected would be English or Chinese.

Coming back to what constitutes a protein food or a protein
at all. What if something is plenty of most of the amino
acids but is totally deficient in one or a few? It is my
impression that the protein assay is limited by the limiting
protein, in the current way of thinking.

Again, probably depends on who one asks.... and what their view on
proteins is... And how up on and willing to add complementary foods to
the deficient food in question....

My line of inquiry leads me to the notion that
the whole concept is dubious.

What is its amino acid profile...?

See my post that you quoted. Those are the five that
presumably disqualify it as a protein food.

Oh, I guess I thought you were referring to potatoes in that listing for
some reason... :) As I usually am serving eggplant with at least some

Nah, I don't tend to talk much about potatoes.

meat and/or dairy, apparently its protein is useful.. ;)

Of course, if one gets meat or dairy in one's diet,
there's no point worrying about complete proteins.

Probably, in the vast numerosity of yesteryear's
mail, there was less substance per average post,
with lots of people posting because they liked
the sight of their own words, rather than any
content thing. Of course, picking and choosing
took a bunch of time, which I wouldn't have been
all that eager to invest.

Actually, in genealogy there was mostly content, and sometimes quite a
lot of it packed into a message... And there were a lot of people
regularly posting... probably a couple hundred of regulars....

Seems that was a goal-driven echo; ours not so much.
Seems that some previous moderators tried to keep
the conference on the straight and narrow, plus
there were places such as Recipes and International
Cooking, the point of which always escaped me.

It would have been convenient for communications between different
camping areas (two of the cabins were farther than I could easily walk, and my cabin was the closest to the tent/RV areas)... and also for
calling home to check on Richard....

Ah, not things within my radar. For me, anything
that needs relatively instant attention, well, I
can use the e-mail or if not can find someone
who has a phone to lend within a day or two.

Email might have been a challenge there, too... But at least some people
did have decent phone service... when I needed to get through to
Richard, I ended up using Lydia's phone, which did have a little better service... Tait's apparently also went through, but Richard didn't
recognize the number, and it wasn't in the phone's limited directory
with her name on it unlike Lydia's...

Thing is that there's nothing in my life of
pressing enough importance to keep me up at night.

Kahlua Coffee
categories: beverage, dessert, self-evident
servings: 1

1 c Coffee
creamer or milk (to taste)
Kahlua (to taste)

Note: If you're one who normally takes sugar in their coffee, it might
not be necessary with Kahlua, since the liqueur is sweet. Try the drink,
then if you think it requires more sweetener, add sugar to taste.
Suggestion: Prepare ahead of dinner and allow drink to cool. Serve over
ice.
