    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to RUTH HAFFLY on Monday, September 10, 2018 09:40:50
    Very few commonly eaten foods will affect our
    lifespan, given our ages.
    Not if properly prepared. It's the improperly prepared or those I don't
    know about I'd be hesitant to try.

    Even improperly prepared foods are unlikely to be
    too troublesome. We didn't get this far by being
    overlimited in our food options.

    The company we get our meds from was not affected by the recall.
    Valsartan is still available where you shop?
    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.

    Out here the major companies just dropped the stuff
    cold, and the docs responded en masse by blackballing
    it and substituting the older losartan, which has more
    side effects but hasn't been accused of causing cancer.

    Despite it being a common name (#4 or 5 my year,
    depending on whom you ask), there was only one
    Michael in my elementary school class and high
    school class; there were two in junior high.
    I had one in my high school class, went by Mickey. A couple each Shirley
    and Gary, a good assortment of what was popular at the time.

    I don't think we ever had a Shirley; there was a
    Gary in one of my schools, I forget which one,
    but not in my class.

    CB's food took a huge dive a while ago; what used
    to be reliably not bad turned into reliably not
    good on my last couple visits, and I've not been to
    one in at least a decade.
    They started getting supplied from a central commissary some years
    ago.
    That would explain a lot.
    Very much so.

    I was quite disappointed when I noted the
    quality issues, and a friend who worked at
    one warned me not to eat there any more. I
    appreciate the information, but when an
    employee is that down on a place, that
    speaks volumes.

    I don't remember their lizards and givers, but it's
    a dish that is in general dear to my heart.
    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.

    I can do livers with a pink inside. Gizzards
    not so much.

    but need > ML> to > know the importance of a shopping list vs a list
    of ancestors. > ML> Archaeosociologists might want to see both

    Possibly, but not holding my breath on it.
    Please don't.
    Can't hold it very long as is, so not worth trying. (G)

    It's a deal.

    Actually, Nancy will buy a can and I'll make a GPS from scratch.
    I've no control over this, but if it were up to
    me, I'd "just say no."
    Well, a bowl of home made from scratch GPS will be a good side to
    whatever else is brought or cooked on site.

    It was good. Even the Read's wasn't too horrid.

    Title: Nutted Caramel Popcorn Balls
    1 c Mixed salted nuts
    1/2 c Salted peanuts
    Change out the mixed nuts for all cashews, IMO.
    For me - almonds. Cashews are best savored alone.
    OK, how about we just put peanuts in it?

    Speaking of which, it's been announced that
    Southwest is discontinuing peanuts on its flights
    as well.

    In who's opinion?
    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
    Good enough answer.

    I'm a little suspicious about rankings like that,
    but there was good consistency in the evaluations
    of the Fat Duck.

    budget). The well-known epicure Ian Hoare at one
    time rated Fat Duck and French Laundry 1-2.
    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).

    Ruth's is despite its name not top tier in any
    way. I've had excellent meals and horrid meals
    under the aegis - the individual franchise
    owners must have more leeway than is good for
    the brand name.

    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.
    And then there's the famous question "what is truth?".

    Modern scholarship is in not so much agreement
    about what Pilate said or why.

    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.
    Edible or otherwwise?

    One of the polypores whose description in the
    guidebooks is "nonpoisonous" but is too hard
    and woody to become food.

    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.
    Quite so. (G)

    Sometimes it has worked.

    Don't know about either question but work is finally getting done.

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

    A comforting solidity.

    Hi Michael,

    don't > know about I'd be hesitant to try.

    Even improperly prepared foods are unlikely to be
    too troublesome. We didn't get this far by being
    overlimited in our food options.

    They can be killers; I don't want to take the chance.

    Six of one, half a dozen of another. Pays your money, takes your choice
    in effectiveness or side effects.

    Despite it being a common name (#4 or 5 my year,
    depending on whom you ask), there was only one
    Michael in my elementary school class and high
    school class; there were two in junior high.

    Both, tho, were popular names in our early years.

    speaks volumes.

    Or something disgruntled him.

    I don't remember their lizards and givers, but it's
    a dish that is in general dear to my heart.

    I can do livers with a pink inside. Gizzards
    not so much.

    The latter are usually on the tough side. I used to simmer them for a
    long time to get tender.

    Sounds fair enough to me.

    It was good. Even the Read's wasn't too horrid.

    Depends on what you're more familiar with. I'd not want to eat the
    Read's cold, but would (and did) eat my home made without reheating.
    Only thing with that particular one was that I was a slice or two short
    of bacon, and didn't realise it until after we'd been to Wegman's.

    way. I've had excellent meals and horrid meals
    under the aegis - the individual franchise
    owners must have more leeway than is good for
    the brand name.

    Probably so, but I'll take The Angus Barn over RC's any day.

    And as Edith Ann used to say, "and that's the

    Mostly, truth is truth. Sometimes there's some

    new evidence comes along and is well publicized.
    And then there's the famous question "what is truth?".

    Modern scholarship is in not so much agreement

    Depends on the scholar.

    One of the polypores whose description in the

    IOW, best left alone.

    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,
