This was a single lady who'd spent most of her adult life as a missionary to China. Even gave up a lot of her food allotment in her later years so others would have the food.
Not to the point of self-starvation, I hope.
To the point where she wasn't strong enough to make the journey back to
the States and died in Tokyo harbor on Christmas eve.
A little extreme, sounds like. Of course,
making a journey of that magnitude in those
days would have been arduous in itself even
for the properly nourished.
I am not against suicide the way many people
are, but putting one's family in danger is to
me beyond the pale, and I'd have tried to
reason with anyone making that choice.
Some people don't look at the bigger picture when contemplating an "adventure" like this. Takes others talking sense into them for them to
see the possible down sides.
It's fine with me what they do to themselves,
but putting others in danger - and one's own
family at that - will never win my approval.
made him immune to normal suspicions); his sister
intimated as much to me, but the time frame is
unclear regarding that.
But he wasn't taken off the flight, as might happen today.
It probably wouldn't. The news articles are generally
pretty overblown.
Seems so. With all the different sources for news available these days,
if you can be the first to jump on a story, even if your reporting isn't accurate, that's the version that gets the widest dissemination.
The frequency of retractions is distressing,
and it's because of lack of proper investigation
and followup. On the other hand, the less
reputable sources don't do retractions at all,
which is worse. And there are "sources" that
just plain make things up.
If you're reading this, the annihilation of our
planet by Nibiru didn't happen, again. It won't
happen, again, next week.
Oh, well. I'm reminded that there are other
pictures of me out there in odd circumstances.
As with all of us, I'm sure. (G)
That's what this activity would be about.
The photos would be more ridiculous than
risque, of course.
are KfP but have seen no mention of Expandex being so).
I've never heard of Expandex before--sounds like something to use in
a > waistband. (G)
A lot of g/f flours won't be KfP.
I'd have to do some research on that.
Take my word for this one. Remember that
Kosher for Passover is much more restrictive
than plain old Kosher and involves a higher
level of certification with additional criteria.
Smoked Bacon Pork Alfredo
Make pork steaks with a side of pasta with an al fredo sauce--much simpler. (G)
I'd agree with you there, but the half of the
pork in the sauce would add another flavor
element to it that might be beneficial. How
much simpler? 5 minutes maybe.
Maybe so, but it would satisfy those that don't like mixed up
foods..."Mom, my peas are touching my potatoes and the gravy is getting
all over the peas." kind of person. Enough of them out there, and not
all of them are under the age of 10. (G)
My heart is cold toward those people.

Paella III - softshell clams, littleneck clams,
shrimp, scallops, chourico 2001
cat: pseudo-Spanish, neo, mine
servings: 8
1 md onion, sliced
1 sm onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 Tb olive oil
2 1/2 c rice
3 c seafood stock
1 lg pn saffron
1/4 c boiling water
2 bay leaves
1 red pepper, sliced
1/2 green pepper, minced
3/4 lb chourico sausage, bite-size pieces
1 lb softshell clams in shell
1/2 c Pinot Grigio
10 oz frozen green peas
1/2 c tomato sauce
1 lb shrimp, shells removed, tails on
1 lb scallops
2 lb littleneck clams in shell
Wilt both onions and the garlic in 3 Tb oil.
Set aside.
Bring rice and stock to the boil. Reduce
heat and let cook, partially covered.
Crush saffron into boiling water. When it blooms,
add it and the water to the rice along with the
bay leaves. Cook until all liquid is evaporated.
Off heat, set aside.
Wilt peppers in 3 Tb oil. Add sausage pieces.
Steam softshells in wine just until they open. Remove
and discard shells and black membrane from softshells.
Let cool.
Strain the liquid and add to the rice along with the
onions, peppers and sausages, peas, tomato sauce,
softshells, shrimp, and scallops.
Put the rice in an oven pan. Arrange the littlenecks
over. Bake at 450F until rice is soft and clams open.
The most notable thing about this dish is that in
my haste to get it prepared, I tipped it over and
knocked the clams and some of the rice on the floor.
I had a large kitchen brigade washing clams and
cleaning up rice.
