• 532 nasty airlines, nasty food

    I've had goat only from the cabrito stage (unborn) to
    preadolescence. As I told Dale, I've never had the
    pleasure of a meal of the mature animal.
    I've even plenty of Jamaican Curry Goat; I'm not sure what's in that.

    At a guess from other old things, I figure you'd
    be able to taste old goat even through the spices,
    even though allspice and habbie might tend to shut
    down your taste buds.

    They all had it in for you? Or just the entire flight crew?
    The cockpit crew could have done the dirty deed
    far more expeditiously, though there would have
    been collateral damage.
    Yeah well. Details.

    Though one (including myself) might tend to
    personalize the problems, airlines in general
    are equal opportunity offenders.

    Even when it's just a liquid source I can
    usually taste the fetidity, which doesn't
    shout at you but sort of persistently moans
    if you listen hard enough.
    I try not to listen to moaning vegetables.

    Nor I to afternoon and evening vegetables.

    Oh, don't worry about that. I am very untrusting
    of such things.
    Smart.
    Just the name steroids makes one blench.
    That's a relatively mild reaction.

    But avoiding them minimizes the chances of the
    more serious ones.

    at Fenway, but we'll take five. Five was OK too.
    Five meant a diminution of revenue for the city's
    merchants, though I'm betting a lot of change fees
    were made by the airlines.
    In that case the airlines made some money, a pity in a way.

    One really can't have it both ways - they either
    make money, or you don't get to fly.

    This is the only recipe I have handy whose title has
    "green potato" in it. Though I respect the author, I
    have serious doubts about the dish (even though it
    doesn't really have green potatoes in it.

    ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.01

    Title: SPRING GREEN POTATO SOUP
    Categories: Soups/stews, Vegetables
    Yield: 8 servings

    1 tb Safflower oil -=OR=- Canned Broth
    1 lg Onion; minced -(preferably
    low-sodium)
    1 lg Russet potato; peeled, 1 ts Dried dillweed
    - cut into 1-in cubes 1/8 ts Cayenne pepper
    1 lg Sweet potato; peeled, 1 c Frozen peas
    - cut into 1-in cubes 1 c Packed sliced Romaine leaves
    6 c Chicken stock Salt to taste

    This isn't made with green potatoes, but is rather made green by the
    addition of peas and lettuce.

    HEAT OIL IN 3-QUART SAUCEPAN over medium-high heat. When hot, add onion.
    Cook until softened, about 4 minutes, stirring often. Add all potatoes
    and
    cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add 4 cups stock or broth, dillweed
    and
    cayenne. Bring to boil. Simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Add peas and
    lettuce.
    Cook until potatoes and peas are completely tender, about 5 minutes.
    Puree
    soup in food processor with metal blade until smooth, about 2 minutes.
    Return to pan. Thin as desired with remaining stock or broth. Adjust
    seasoning. It's bright green when freshly made; the color lightens on
    storage but it's still appealing. Can be made 3 days ahead and
    refrigerated. Can also be frozen as long as 3 months. Serve hot or
    chilled.

    Makes 6 1/2 Cups

    The proper kind wouldn't contain allspice, and it's generally not
    that peppery. I'd probably have noticed a gamy taste.

    far more expeditiously, though there would have
    been collateral damage.
    Yeah well. Details.

    Once they get your money, and they get you into their tin can....

    I try not to listen to moaning vegetables.

    Nor I to afternoon and evening vegetables.

    What about midnight vegetables?
    Or don't you feed/eat them after Midnight?

    In that case the airlines made some money, a pity in a way.

    One really can't have it both ways - they either
    make money, or you don't get to fly.

    Yeah well. They don't have to make blood money.
