• 784 travel was crusty again

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to RUTH HAFFLY on Monday, January 07, 2019 11:34:48
    were very sympathetic. People often make the
    mistake of judging stuff from long ago based on
    modern attitudes and aesthetics and not
    appreciating what the developers were originally
    trying to do.
    And most of the Indians spoke very good English--or very broken English.

    Sort of like real Indians ... or Bostonians!
    Undoubtedly untintional, but sort of reflective
    of real class differences. I wonder if all the
    episodes were directed by the same person, and
    if not, why wasn't there a handbook of Indians.

    That always seemed rather odd to me. But, you're right--it's hard to
    judge an older show (or whatever) by current values/standards.

    I cringe at almost all the TV or film I see
    from the olden days (not much, of course).
    But contemporaries folded up their disbelief
    easily and believed the stuff it seeems.

    I wasn't that much of a watcher in the
    first place and don't recall when I first
    saw color TV (not our own), but she was
    definitely a redhead.
    Natural or otherwise?

    How could I tell? So I had to go on the
    Internet, which I'm doing more frequently
    nowadays, being more hard of remembering and
    also putting more amusingly appropriate
    recipes on my posts. Wikitruth and IMDb do
    not list her as a natural redhead, but the
    Deseret News had an article that claimed
    that she was. Unfortunately, I first clicked
    on what I thought was the Wikipedia article
    and was highjacked to a site that, well, let's
    just say that I had to run a virus scan.

    Some lady started a conversation with me yesterday,
    possibly under the delusion that I was that person.
    Who did she think you were this time? (G)
    Eddie Lee, which would have been impossible anyway,
    as he died a year ago.
    A name I'm not familiar with.

    Mayor of SF.

    as well. I tend to blend into the woodwork, myself.
    Not much wrong with that. Remember the Monty
    Python sketch about "how not to be seen"?
    No, never saw it.
    As with so much of their work, it's absurdist
    comedy bordering (but I think not quite in the
    territory; some would disagree) on the deranged.
    IOW, not worth the bother to look it up.

    If you're not into that kind of thing.

    The x key isn't working well, and sometimes the
    H key makes an N. It's terrible when the keyboard
    also gets CRS. I'm pretty sure that an emotional
    support mouse wouldn't fly.
    I was thinking the mouse was to be the food for the emotional support snake--if the snake were allowed on the plane in the first place.

    Snakes, according to current rules, should.
    Mice, no, and as we've noted, a snake wouldn't
    need to eat as frequently as you or I.

    I'd guess that ecessively picky eating is a
    neurosis, a luxury born of wealthy times, and
    in the long run a survival negative trait.
    But generally not encouraged by most parents.
    The condition is common enough that I'm afraid
    your assessment is optimistic.
    Steve and I both grew up in families where it was not supported. It
    might be a generational thing--some generations the parents support
    picky eaters, others don't. We didn't with our girls, and they now enjoy
    a wide variety of foods--well beyond the meat and potatoes sort of meals
    I was brought up with.

    Picky eating to me is a world of lost
    opportunity.

    Title: Egg Drop Soup #3
    9 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
    This recipe would be much benefited if you use real broth.
    Agreed, very much so. Enough salt in those bullion cubes to last you a
    week or more.

    A lifetime, if taken all at once!

    Mexicali Chicken
    categories: low-carb, main, Mexicanish, poultry
    servings: 4

    1 Tb Dijon mustard
    4 (4 oz ea) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    2 ts olive oil
    1/2 c bottled salsa
    2 Tb fresh lime juice
    1/4 ripe avocado, cubed
    2 Tb thinly sliced green onions (opt)

    Spread mustard over one side of chicken breasts.
    Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over
    medium-high heat. Add chicken, mustard side down;
    cook 4 min. Flip chicken. Reduce heat to medium.

    Combine salsa and lime juice; spoon over and
    around chicken. Simmer uncovered until chicken
    is cooked through and sauce thickens, 6 min.

    Transfer chicken to serving plates. Boil the
    remaining pan juices in skillet until slightly
    reduced. Spoon juices over chicken; top with
    avocado. Garnish with green onions, if desired.

    Hi Michael,

    were very sympathetic. People often make the
    mistake of judging stuff from long ago based on
    modern attitudes and aesthetics and not
    appreciating what the developers were originally
    trying to do.
    And most of the Indians spoke very good English--or very broken
    English.

    Sort of like real Indians ... or Bostonians!

    At the time frame, tho, very few Indians would have known too much
    English.

    Undoubtedly untintional, but sort of reflective
    of real class differences. I wonder if all the
    episodes were directed by the same person, and

    Probably a good number of them for the series shows.

    if not, why wasn't there a handbook of Indians.

    There were, but not real Indians for the most part.


    That always seemed rather odd to me. But, you're right--it's hard to judge an older show (or whatever) by current values/standards.

    I cringe at almost all the TV or film I see
    from the olden days (not much, of course).
    But contemporaries folded up their disbelief
    easily and believed the stuff it seeems.

    Simpler times when those shows were made.

    saw color TV (not our own), but she was
    definitely a redhead.

    and was highjacked to a site that, well, let's
    just say that I had to run a virus scan.

    OOPS! Hope your system is well de-bugged now.

    Some lady started a conversation with me yesterday,
    possibly under the delusion that I was that person.
    Who did she think you were this time? (G)
    Eddie Lee, which would have been impossible anyway,
    as he died a year ago.
    A name I'm not familiar with.

    Mayor of SF.

    OK, I'm not as attuned to the West Coast as I once was.

    as well. I tend to blend into the woodwork, myself.
    Not much wrong with that. Remember the Monty
    Python sketch about "how not to be seen"?
    No, never saw it.

    If you're not into that kind of thing.

    Not really.

    also gets CRS. I'm pretty sure that an emotional
    support mouse wouldn't fly.
    I was thinking the mouse was to be the food for the emotional
    support > snake--if the snake were allowed on the plane in the first place.

    Snakes, according to current rules, should.
    Mice, no, and as we've noted, a snake wouldn't
    need to eat as frequently as you or I.

    Especially if it's fed not long before boarding. Did hear that United is
    going to crack down on "support" animals, but not as much as I'd hoped
    they would.

    in the long run a survival negative trait.

    Yes, you do miss a lot of chances to expand your culinary horizons that
    way. (G)
