    I contend that the south won that war.
    I'm not getting into it; too many politics which shouldn't be
    discussed > in this echo.
    Stumm, stumm, I'll skirt that maybe now and again
    but try to stay on this side of civility.
    I've got enough other going on in my life that I'll ignore the issue
    for > a while.
    Oh, please do.
    Done, and trying to get on with life.

    The stuff before 1865 was less focused on and
    had lots of issues that were underinvestigated,
    so it was probably a conscious choice.
    Possibly, but still somewhat disappointing.
    No treatment can be everything to everyone.
    No, and will drop this discussion as well.

    Well, it's not offensive or grossly offtopic but merely
    kind of circular.

    There was a Cyclorama but also a regular diorama
    in another building, probably not under the same
    ownership.
    Wouldn't know, we saw the outside stuff.

    When we went, as I recall, most of the stuff was free,
    and the others were 10 to 25c, not as cheap as it sounds,
    considering that the minimum wage was under a buck, but
    still not breaking the bank.

    No doubt. But more effective and equally aesthetically
    agreeable bight have been not to offer any spread at all.
    Not in our family.
    Funny, I thought there was a lot of "take it or
    leave it" at your kitchen table.
    No, I meant that there was not the option of offering no spread. There
    were quite a few times I did eat bread without a spread. Mom put it on
    the cooked vegetable she served, in the mashed potatoes, etc. It was
    also the spread served for corn on the cob.

    Someday I must return to corn oil margarine on corn
    on the cob just to see whether I still like it. Also
    maybe just salt (or maybe KCl).

    Grab your Euell Gibbons book.....
    Nah, I figure between me and my friends we can do
    as well as any old shill for Post cereal.
    Probably quite a few people could.
    Certainly.
    Especially if you have done so before.
    It's not a rare thing, especially in places with
    substantial amounts of green. But foraging is possible
    even in urban environments.
    Of a different sort, one would think. (G)

    You'd be surprised. I have found lamb's quarters, sage,
    wormwood, edible mushrooms, and a fair number of other
    tasty things in city settings.

    We're keeping an eye on the tree where it grew last year. Our local expert said that they often reappear.
    They're supposed to, but sometimes one harvesting
    action is vigorous enough to put the plant underground
    as it were for a long time.
    Time will tell with this tree.

    Time will tell with every tree!

    Calabash Style Seafood
    Not sure what the NC State Seafood restaurant uses but we like their version. Steve hasn't mentioned a post dining migraine so maybe they don't use the corn meal.
    I prefer it without, myself.
    I'll take it either way. OTOH, I'll not take seafood that's been heavily breaded, if I've got the option of having it prepared some other way.

    And truth be told, I prefer my seafood with minimal
    starchy coating

    Hi Michael,

    had lots of issues that were underinvestigated,
    so it was probably a conscious choice.
    Possibly, but still somewhat disappointing.
    No treatment can be everything to everyone.
    No, and will drop this discussion as well.

    Well, it's not offensive or grossly offtopic but merely
    kind of circular.

    But enough other going on in my life that I don't want to get into much
    of a discussion of it now. Maybe when life settles down..........


    There was a Cyclorama but also a regular diorama
    in another building, probably not under the same
    ownership.
    Wouldn't know, we saw the outside stuff.

    When we went, as I recall, most of the stuff was free,
    and the others were 10 to 25c, not as cheap as it sounds,
    considering that the minimum wage was under a buck, but
    still not breaking the bank.

    We were a family of 7, for years on one small income. Things got a bit
    better when Mom started working as a teacher's aide, more so when she
    moved into the library but money was always tight when I was growing up.
    Ergo, lots of free stuff.


    No doubt. But more effective and equally aesthetically agreeable bight have been not to offer any spread at
    all. > ML> > Not in our family.

    Someday I must return to corn oil margarine on corn
    on the cob just to see whether I still like it. Also
    maybe just salt (or maybe KCl).

    Some day when you feel like experimenting, then let us know the results.
    Get a small container of corn oil margerine so you won't feel bad about
    tossing out the extra if it doesn't live up to your expectations. (G)

    But how contaminated by the lead of so many more vehicle's exhaust?

    True, and some will grow mushrooms, others won't.

    It is good that way also. Given a choice, it would be no coating, then
    calabash style. If it were listed as breaded/fried on a menu, I'd most
    likely avoid it.
