Having a bent arm from having fallen out of a tree
as a kid and having his mom deny him medical treatment,
saying that Christian Science practice would automatically
set the fracture, but that's getting toward a forbidden
topic. I myself think of it as mass psychosis and have
had acquaintances die terrible deaths under the watch of
such practitioners.

Or non-practitioners as case may be. Most things will heal up without intervention. Displaced fractures...not so much.

That's the thing. Some people are absolutists
where absolutism is destructive. I don't mind so
much if they affect only their own fates, but when
others' welfare is involved, I think it's unforgivable
to impose.

Could be worse - might be a Mets fan ... oh ... .

(waves hand) My dad started following them in 1962 and passed the
infection along to me. I'm really more of an APY fan these days -
anyone playing the Pinstripes.

Nowadays there are more root-againsts than root-fors
for me.

It's not hard to get butter of whatever quality, and
gas ovens lurk behind every other door. Just don't
get Acme brand dynamite.

I'm not into things blowing up in my hand or falling on my head. A
1930 unreconstructed gas oven is a bit harder to get.

Because most of them have blown up?

Leslieÿs Traditional Hainanese Kaya
categories: Singaporean, jam
Yield: 4 200 ml jars

420 g Eggs (6 or 7 depending on size)
500 g Coconut milk
340 g Sugar
6 Pandan leaves, knotted
80 g Sugar
20 g Butter

Whisk eggs and sugar till smooth and strain.

Place eggs in a bowl over boiling water and cook
25 min or until the batter reaches 80C/175F. Stir
occasionally in the initial stages of cooking and
more constantly when the eggs start to thicken.

Place the pandan leaves in a separate pot and add
the coconut milk. Bring it to a simmer and set aside
while the eggs are cooking. Strain the coconut milk.
Measure out 420 g and add this to the egg batter and
cook for another 35 min or until the temperature
reaches 80C/175F and the kaya reaches the consistency
you want. When the kaya is almost ready (around 45 min),
melt the remaining sugar and butter. Leave to cool a
little and add to the kaya slowly. Continue to stir
continuously until the consistency is like pancake
batter.

Fill the jars and cover with the caps (donÿt tighten).
Place in rice cooker with water up to 3/4 the height
of the jars. Turn to keep warm mode and leave for the
next 1 to 3 hr. My preference is 1 hr.

I have lots of friends who don't like doctors much, I've gotten to
that point myself, but that's pushing it a bit far.

I root for a good game as often as not. The Sox/Yanks game was fun, especially since it was all but meaningless since both teams already
clinched.

Mostly just died of old age or got scrapped for a newer model. The
old ones still around are often reconditioned and put right back to
work.

OTOH sometimes it's a LOT easier to make the authentic product with
the tools designed for the purpose.
