    Communication should be the essence. In the case
    I described, control was the essence.
    Since Steve and I are generally the only ones using our kitchen, control isn't an issue.

    That's quite different from the situation I was
    describing. It's less than likely you'd be
    reduced to leaving notes to each other.

    basically an adult gathering so left it to those who wanted to try
    it to > judge the heat level for themselves. Guess all who tried it
    were content > with the level of heat in it.
    Heh, I might have labeled mine also-ran chili
    (not very good) whether it was or not, to ensure
    some would be left for me to have later.
    No problem, I can make it any time I want.
    If I see the need on the part of someone else,
    likewise. As in "onions - chopped or sliced?
    How thin?"
    I know; you've helped me a time or two. (G)

    I've probably prepped for most of the regular
    members here, certainly for all who have attended
    the echo pics.

    But then you enjoy it and are good at it.
    Years of doing it, not always enjoyable but (usually) always
    edible. > ML> Nobody bats 1.000.
    No, but doing better than when I started out. (G)
    Something we can maybe claim, but baseball
    players can't.
    Nor do basketball players make every shot or hockey players every shot
    at the goal.
    There's a reusable basket?
    Yes, you fill it with your own grind and put it in the spot where the
    pod goes. Some machines will need an adapter to use it tho. Reuseable
    pods can be found in places like "Wal-Mart", "Target", "Bed, Bath &
    Beyond" and even some grocery stores. It looks like a plastic or plastic
    and metal, both with a screening on the bottom half, oversized pod.

    Interesting, worth looking for, but that
    doesn't excuse the existence of the machines.

    But most of the time I'm the one cleaning up, as well as cooking.
    As the Food Network puts it, you're doing
    it wrong!
    Just the way it goes when you're home cooking and only one other person
    is in the home.

    That's okay if the other person carries his
    own weight in other ways.

    Most people see them only as "for pretty" food, not meant to be
    eaten.
    I'm against that and am deeply suspicious of
    garnish for garnish's sake.
    Most often, it's totally not needed, except for the bit of "pretty" on
    the plate. Tho some people do use the parsley as a breath cleanser; I
    think that was why it was originally put on a plate.

    Really? I was not of the impression that
    people thought in those terms until recently.
    Anyhow, it wouldn't much work.

    Hi Michael,

    That's quite different from the situation I was

    reduced to leaving notes to each other.

    That isn't a good thing.

    Heh, I might have labeled mine also-ran chili
    (not very good) whether it was or not, to ensure
    some would be left for me to have later.
    No problem, I can make it any time I want.

    I've probably prepped for most of the regular

    the echo pics.

    we're considering hosting this year--the week end after Labor Day (which
    we've done the past couple of years) seems to be a good time frame.
    Arrive Thursday, official picnic on Saturday? We'll just have to watch
    out for a hurricane blowing up; it's still that time of year.

    No, but for those that have the machine and want something other than
    the pre done pods in whatever flavors they have (most of them not worth
    the money), it's an option. Most people like the convenience of the
    pods, not thinking about what they're doing to landfills.

    But most of the time I'm the one cleaning up, as well as
    cooking. > ML> As the Food Network puts it, you're doing

    He does, and will be doing most of what I usually do for a few weeks.

    Nice idea but lacking in real time application. (G)
