    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to RUTH HAFFLY on Monday, October 01, 2018 07:43:36
    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.

    There's nothing wrong with free stuff. I was about to say
    that you have to be more careful vetting the free stuff, but
    looking at what people are putting out and expecting others
    to pay for, well, maybe I have to rethink that.

    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).
    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)

    I still remember the taste of the exceedingly cheap
    Fleischmann's, and there was nothing horrid about it.
    Whether there would be a use for a whole pound of
    it, well, you may have a point there. Perhaps the
    thing to do would be pocket a couple packets from a
    cheap restaurant.

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

    Most likely none of it. I'd be more worried about
    dog pee and stuff like that.

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

    Speaking of, there's a tree just down the street that
    has what I think are Lentinus edodes, but the thing
    is that they're clumped right where I'd do a number one
    if I were a dog.

    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
    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.

    Eh. The classic quick dredge in cornstarch or even
    flour and flash fry, a wonderful way to go.

    +

    In general I endorse that, but for a true allergic
    (luckily none of you were true allergics) that might
    have been quite unpleasant.
    Quite so, but since none of us has food allery issues, Mom and Dad
    could > enforce the "take a full serving" rule. Even if we disliked
    it, as all
    Sometimes people's food aversions have a physiological
    component, and sometimes the results can be frightening.
    Mine's not physiological, just a pure dislike of the stuff I don't like.

    Tomatoes and oranges gave me mouth sores in my childhood;
    all cheese not only blue gave me cramps. I didn't mind
    zucchini, but after tomatoes and oranges didn't bother
    me any more, I probably had to find something to
    substitute for them!

    of us kids did with sweet potatoes, we had to take a full serving of
    my > grandmother's sweet potato with marshmallows dish every year at
    Thanksgiving.
    For me the objection of course is more to the marshmallows
    than the sweet potatoes. I used to hate sweet potatoes
    until I had them au naturel with butter.
    I still can't eat a sweet potato in any form.

    I like them most ways, just not candied.

    Well, that's of course. I was thinking of a trompe
    l'oeil spaghetti-eis made out of spaghetti, making a
    joke upon a joke.
    Doubtful if it would be appreciated by many people.
    As a joke maybe not, but as a dish - I'd bet that I
    could make it appealing to the majority or at least to
    a significant number of culinary perverts.
    Posssibly the latter group, not so sure about the former.

    You didn't mind that carrot cake, did you?

    He does like ice cream, I do know that.
    So a case of cutting one's nose off to spite one's face?
    He would go for a dish of ice cream, but not done up as "spaghetti".

    I might go for a dish of spaghetti, but maybe not done
    up as ice cream!

    Isn't there a tagline that sounds sort of like
    that? Something about a definite maybe. Along the
    lines of the rare medium well done.
    I know the gist, but not the actual line.
    Maybe Nancy could help solidify our memories. As I
    recall, she has used this tagline.
    She might have it in her file; mine isn't that large.

    As you've seen, she came through.

    Being able only to speak for myself, if I had asked for
    a beef stew, and someone gave me a rose by that name,
    I'd consider that person a complete loony, whether
    they'd been that in my estimation before or not.
    And others might play along with the game, calling a bowl of beef
    stew > some other name.
    Well, all right, I did it with carrot cake not so long ago.
    Exactly!
    Title: Honey Bacon Bread
    Interesting, but don't think I'll make it as is. I may try a
    non > ML> bread > machine version, but not any time soon.
    I might, but i'd omit the bread part and possibly
    the bacon part.
    IOW, not in the near (or distant) future?
    Perhaps not as recognized by most folks.
    OK by me.

    ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00

    Title: Meat Loaf Tropicale
    Categories: Fruits, Main dish, Meats, Vegetables
    Yield: 6 servings

    1 1/2 lb Lean Ground Beef 1 ea Egg; Lg
    1 c Bananas; Ripe, Mashed, 2 Lg 1/2 c Oats; Quick Cooking

    1 t Mustard; Prepared 1/4 t Nutmeg
    1/8 t Allspice 2 ea Slices Bacon
    2 tb Onion; Chopped 3 tb Orange Marmalade

    Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all of the ingredients, except the
    bacon and marmalade, together. Spread the mixture in an ungreased loaf
    pan, 9 X 5 X 3-inches. Crisscross the bacon slices on the top of the
    meat
    mixture and spread the marmalade over the whole thing. Bake, uncovered
    for
    1 to 1 1/4 hours. Drain off the excess fat and let stand for 5 to 10

    mysterious
    flavor and a special moistness to this elegant meat loaf. Source unknown

    I like them most ways, just not candied.

    I'm so boring. To me the only way to eat a sweet potato is to bake it.
    Cut in half a small bit of butter and a touch of salt. Heaven.

    Hi Michael,

    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

    There's nothing wrong with free stuff. I was about to say
    that you have to be more careful vetting the free stuff, but
    looking at what people are putting out and expecting others
    to pay for, well, maybe I have to rethink that.

    Some free stuff is good, other isn't worth the cost. Same with some of
    the stuff you have to pay for. We were underwhelmed by the Space Needle
    last year but driving thru northern AZ/southern UT this past
    summer--some quite spectacular scenery at no cost.

    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).

    Whether there would be a use for a whole pound of
    it, well, you may have a point there. Perhaps the
    thing to do would be pocket a couple packets from a
    cheap restaurant.

    After vetting that it is what you're looking for. I've seen a lot of
    Shedd Spread Whipped (stuff) in various eateries.

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

    Most likely none of it. I'd be more worried about
    dog pee and stuff like that.

    Very true, that is a biohazard.

    as it were for a long time.

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

    Speaking of, there's a tree just down the street that

    Not a good spot to harvest from.

    Sometimes just steamed is even better.

    I usually bake them for Steve; he will mash it with butter, add some
    cinnamon.

    Doubtful if it would be appreciated by many people.

    could make it appealing to the majority or at least to

    I might go for a dish of spaghetti, but maybe not done

    I'll go for it, in moderation, same as the ice cream.

    Isn't there a tagline that sounds sort of like
    that? Something about a definite maybe. Along the

    I know the gist, but not the actual line.
