    They never did trust him with being a real cop, so
    Never knew what he might have done in some instances?

    In his case I suspect it would be doing too
    little rather than too much.

    he helps train rookies (which he probably is good at)
    That's a talent in and of itself, to be able to teach well.

    Agreed. Though the students might make fun
    of this gangly kid (now maybe close to 50
    years old, but still a kid to me) teaching
    them, they actually might learn something.

    and SWAT teams (which I'm doubtful of). But no real
    enforcement that I know of, which is a good thing.
    SWAT teams have various components, not all "kick the door and rush in, weapons drawn"; he probably had a role that fit him better.

    No idea, not planning on being on either
    side of such an encounter.

    I've seen little difference between 18 and 21.
    It depends on the person--some are party animals at age 18 but by the
    time they reach 21, are well settled and "grown up". Others never
    outgrow the party animal phase; yet others never enter it.
    Personally I'm most impressed by the European
    systems, which traditionally left things in
    parental hands. Presumably the families had a
    better handle on the appropriate timing of
    various aspects of social education.
    In a lot of ways, we would do well to emulate it. Trouble is, these
    days, that a lot of parents haven't matured into the responsible adult
    they need to be to handle such a task.

    The issue is is it the role of government
    to remedy those shortcomings. Also a
    question that threatens to flop over into
    forbidden territory.

    I heard of Mannheim Steamroller only when a
    cellist colleague of mine was outbid for by it
    and chose to do that gig rather than ours.
    You've probably heard them, but not known who they were, especially this
    time of year. They've put out a number of Christmas recordings--a wide
    range of traditional takes on old carols and new arraingements.

    I hever heard their stuff until I started playing
    their arrangements, not perhaps the best way
    of being introduced to a group. I take that back
    - I've played bunches of charts of other bands,
    especially the Motown groups, that I ended up
    liking.

    Those don't fit into the manly profession part!
    Well, sausage, maybe.
    It's grilling, isn't it? There was a restaurant (didn't last too
    long)
    Chicken doesn't count. Vegetables don't count.
    They do in our house.

    Perhaps you don't have the proper manly mindset.

    No wonder you never went there - you and Steve
    probably could turn out as good a product at a
    fraction of the price.
    Most likely so, especially since we got our (similar, differnet maker)
    grill at probably a better price. It was reduced because it was a
    seasonal clearance, then more taken off because it was a floor model and
    had a few minor defects.

    Also amusing are the grill-your-own places, where
    you have the honor and opportunity of paying two
    bucks an ounce for meat that costs 50c an ounce
    at the store, then fixing it yourself. Plus, if
    the cook is incompetent, you can't very well send
    your meal back. A win-win for the restaurant.

    Contrarily, sometimes you find people who
    take opportunities that didn't seem to even
    be there and manage to do very well.
    Some do, given the opportunity.
    I could make one that I liked, but none of
    the standard recipes hold any appeal - not
    enough Maillard and generally too starchy.
    We did try, and liked, the one in the Israeli cook book but
    there's > ML> > always room for experimenting with others.
    I might be interested if one lost the beans
    and lost the potatoes and lost the barley.
    IOW, fuggedaboudit? (G)
    In spades.
    OTOH, we will, most likely, do it some time this winter.

    You could add vegetables to it and make
    it into cholent green.

    I'd rather we didn't keep this up doggedly
    and will duck out now.
    Arf wienersehn,
    Very good. I was beginning to have a rough
    time of it.
    (end of thread)

    Roast chicken in a butter crust
    categories: celebrity, poultry, main
    servings: 4
    A good one for this time of year.

    For myself, seasonal cooking is secondary.
    Sure, I like to cook with stuff that is
    available at a particular time of year, but
    the cooking method, let's say that I prefer
    cold-weather cooking all year round.

    Hi Michael,

    little rather than too much.

    OK, you know the guy, I don't.

    he helps train rookies (which he probably is good at)
    That's a talent in and of itself, to be able to teach well.

    Agreed. Though the students might make fun
    of this gangly kid (now maybe close to 50
    years old, but still a kid to me) teaching
    them, they actually might learn something.

    If they want to do well, they'd best learn something!

    and SWAT teams (which I'm doubtful of). But no real
    enforcement that I know of, which is a good thing.

    Same here!

    Too many gray areas to discuss all the ins/outs of, without getting way
    off echo topic.

    We were introduced to them by a friend in Germany when we were
    discussing an Austrian carol. Found CDs in the PX and have bought more
    over the years. Saw them in concert in Savannah.

    Those don't fit into the manly profession part!

    I should hope not!

    I've never tried one of them. The Korean place we like has a few of
    those tables but we usually just order off the menu. We like going for
    lunch and getting one of their "bento boxes".

    I might be interested if one lost the beans

    I like to eat lighter when it's hot. I'd also rather use the oven for
    cooking in the winter than in the summer. We heat with gas so our winter electric bills (electric stove) are lower in winter than in the summer
    when we're running the air conditioning.
