    Fair question, but in that of most of the most
    respected food writers it was well in the top 100,
    with many putting it #1 or #2. This being with
    critics who have been lucky enough to sample
    multiple candidates (something well beyond my
    budget). The well-known epicure Ian Hoare at one
    time rated Fat Duck and French Laundry 1-2.

    idea is corroborated by WWII accounts of English officers
    taking every opportunity to dine with their American counterparts, and the Americans taking every opportunity
    to drink with the English).
    O-kay...............
    As Prof. Schickele used t say that's true, you
    know, and you can't argue with truth.
    And as Edith Ann used to say, "and that's the truth.........(raspberry".

    Mostly, truth is truth. Sometimes there's some
    debate, but when something is generally accepted, it
    usually stays accepted, at least until substantial
    new evidence comes along and is well publicized.

    Over here, the humidity has been 90-100%, and things
    are kind of moist. There's a living area in the cabin
    with a wood stove, though, which has been a lifesaver.
    Otherwise you would be as moldy as a chunk of cheese? Found any
    mushrooms in the bathroom yet?

    No, but on the stairs, yes.

    Some of the female nobility were decently educated,
    and when one got a tutor who was really enthusiastic
    about teaching, lots of good things could happen.
    Especially if the student was eager to learn and gifted in languages, as apparantly the queen was.

    If one is being groomed for rulership, and one
    doesn't want to mess up enough to get assassinated,
    that's a great incentive to study.

    Didn't they have to pay interest on that bond during
    all that time? And didn't the recession mandate that
    the government should press forward with work projects
    to combat it?
    Don't know about either question but work is finally getting done. The library had a bit of cosmetic work done on it a few years ago; this is a major expansion job.

    Seemed like the obvious question to me. It's
    heartening that government is spending money on
    libraries in any case.

    Not if properly prepared. It's the improperly prepared or those I don't
    know about I'd be hesitant to try.

    Yes, Steve checked the supply I have on hand and it's not in the recall listing. We get most of our scipts, including that one, thru a major
    mail order pharmacy.

    Warning--don't order it at CB. They get it frozen and toss it in a deep
    fryer. The outside gets cooked rock hard so that the inside has a chance
    to thaw and cook. Not worth the money spent on it at CB.

    A couple I'll probably never get to. Don't know if I'll ever get to a
    Ruth Christ's but have made it to the Angus Barn a couple of times. Not
    sure how many times we went to Sam Choy's Breakfast, Lunch and Crab but
    it was more than once. So, no top tier places but some that have been
    just as good (and less pricey).

    libraries in any case.

    Agreed. They're adding to the internet capabilities they put in some
    time ago, and buying more books to add to the new shelving. I like the
    ability to store many books in a small electronic format but I also like
    being able to hold/read a real book.
