    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to NANCY BACKUS on Saturday, September 15, 2018 01:39:30
    I don't remember what it's called, and I won't
    be in San Diego until November, but if it saves
    anyone anything, I'll be happy to send it along.
    When you get back there (or if Lilli remembers what they're called
    before that), you can post it here, and see if you have any takers...

    Of course I may, subject to previous takers.

    Curious whether the kindergarten teacher used
    the term in the proper way.
    As I recall it, Lesesne came home and reported that her teacher had recommanded that the class do some sort of homework (or maybe an
    in-class assignment)... Lesesne said she was quoting her exactly, and
    gave the inflection just as the teacher had, "I re-com-MAND that
    you..."... As this was the sister that picked up exact inflections, I'd
    be inclined to find her accurate... When she was maybe 2 years old,

    The teacher was probably being intentionally obfuscatory
    and should have been shot.

    Daddy had taken some of us shopping, and before we went in, he told us sternly, "Don't touch ANYthing"... We went in the store, and Daddy had Lesesne up on his shoulders... He was looking at something he intended
    to purchase, and picked it up... immediately, from his shoulders came
    the quoted command, "Don't touch ANYthing"... treble rather than
    baritone, but otherwise might as well have been a recording... ;)

    There was a lesson to be learned - different rules for
    different folks. And at different times, but that
    caveat was probably learned on another occasion.

    What sort of food does he serve in his different restaurants... essentially the same across the board...? or are there ethnic variants...? Dale mentioned he found reference to 3 in Sweden and 1 in Bermuda, along with the NYC area and other US ones....
    Not variants exactly, but rather different
    genres altogether tweaked by his own personal
    sensibilities, which may or may not have anything
    to do with any of his heritages.
    OK... Could be interesting to go try out some of his restaurants,
    then.... :)

    If you should have the money and the stomach.

    My friend McCully hypothesizes that you don't
    really need daily protein at all - though
    when I was most closely associated with him
    he had a standing order for the eggman, but
    that had more to do with his fondness for eggs
    than any craving for amino acids.
    So it would appear that his hypothesis also isn't based on his practice,
    in any case... :)

    Do as I say, not as I do!

    Returning to Bonnie's fridge last night
    I discovered an overwhelming cheesy smell,
    which I traced to an ancient carton of milk
    that had been pushed to the back. The
    actual cheeses also smelled bad but not bad
    enough to have to throw out.
    Just need to find something to use them in where the smell might be
    covered out, presuming that they didn't taste as bad as they smelled...

    I'm not finding out any time soon. If they're still
    there when I visit again, they certainly will have
    gone weird.

    Interestingly, once she sent along a pound of
    her favorite Cheddar to Lilli, which molded
    immediately in Lilli's cheese drawer, with
    the mold colonizing the rest of the fridge.
    How old WAS the cheddar...? ;)

    Not sure.

    That's different. Speaking of different -
    Crayfish sushi
    On second thought, maybe I DON'T want to try out all his restaurants...
    that looks rather bizarre, actually... ;)

    Mr. Samuelsson's dish was intentionally strange. The
    following is I believe unintentionally strange.

    Sesame Seed-Crusted Tuna Appetizer
    categories: fish, starter, unintentionally disgusting
    yield: 4 servings

    1 ahi tuna steak, 1" thick ( 6 to 8 oz)
    1 Tb sesame oil, optional
    1 Tb white sesame seeds
    1 Tb black or white sesame seeds
    2 Tb olive oil
    Fried wonton chips
    2 c fresh baby greens
    Wasabi aioli
    1 Tb pickled sushi ginger, in thin strips (opt)

    Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper
    towels. Cut fish into 1" cubes. If you like, coat
    cubes with sesame oil. In a shallow dish, combine
    white and black sesame seeds. Roll fish cubes in
    sesame seed mixture.

    In a large skillet cook fish cubes in hot olive oil
    over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 min or until browned
    on all sides and fish flakes easily when tested with
    a fork, but is still slightly pink in the center.
    Remove from skillet; let cool slightly. Cut fish
    into slices.

    To serve, place fried wonton chips on a serving
    platter. Top with each chip with greens, fish slices,
    wasabi aioli, and pickled ginger, if you like.
    Serve immediately. Pass any remaining wasabi aioli.

    The teacher was probably being intentionally obfuscatory
    and should have been shot.

    Dunno if she was being obfuscatory.... Lesesne did understand what the
    word should have been, and that the teacher was doing it the wrong way
    for some sort of emphasis.... And her reportage of the incident was with
    just a bit of glee, as I recall.... ;) We were taught to enjoy words
    from a very early age... ;)

    Daddy had taken some of us shopping, and before we went in, he told us sternly, "Don't touch ANYthing"... We went in the store, and Daddy had Lesesne up on his shoulders... He was looking at something he intended
    to purchase, and picked it up... immediately, from his shoulders came

    There was a lesson to be learned - different rules for
    different folks. And at different times, but that
    caveat was probably learned on another occasion.

    We did learn the lesson... but it also became an oft repeated family
    story... ;)

    What sort of food does he serve in his different restaurants... essentially the same across the board...? or are there ethnic variants...? Dale mentioned he found reference to 3 in Sweden and 1 in Bermuda, along with the NYC area and other US ones....

    If you should have the money and the stomach.

    Maybe on the latter, probably not on the former, from the sounds of
    it.... ;)

    My friend McCully hypothesizes that you don't

    And be just that much closer to being subject to tossing... ;)

    But definately strange and disgusting.... ;)
