    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to NANCY BACKUS on Saturday, February 23, 2019 11:57:32
    In my protective moods I have to remember that it's
    not my job to look out for others; on the other
    hand there are those of us with more perspicacity,
    and we should at least sometimes take the effort
    to counteract the corporate falsehood machine.
    And that can be (at least mostly) in our own interests, not particularly
    for others....

    I'm presuming that for people "in the know" it's
    second nature; it's the education of the rest of
    the public that takes the effort.

    The concept is not all that appealing - how many
    times have I visited upstate New York, and have I
    ever had a garbage plate?
    Apparently never.... want to rectify that...? (G) Richard's had a
    couple of variations on it, though... and survived... ;)

    Correct. Incorrect. I usually don't choose
    food solely for its survivability!

    Probably not all that worth watching... although depending on how it actually played out, might be interesting after all... Not that I'd seek it out....
    The black star was the interestingly-named Wesley
    Snipes; the white star was someone whose name was
    Woody but not Allen. Both are well regarded in the
    film world. I've never seen either that I know of.
    Dunno as I have, either...

    Harrelson, as it turns out, and I've still
    never seen him. Stereotypes don't work, said
    Tom monotonously.

    It might be that (as I suggested before) the
    posters were palate-dead or at least indiscriminate
    or else that the recipe hoovers on that BBS were.
    All possibilities...
    You should see some of these recipes.
    I suspect I may not want to... (G)

    Too bad - Fred Ball appears to have found
    some, er, interesting ones.

    Now you have the entrenched wheat (less productive
    than crabgrass) and corn (perhaps more productive,
    but I fail to find whether the numbers are with or
    without cobs) industries to deal with; also public
    perception, which is equally entrenched. The main
    appeal would be in developing countries with worse
    climates, because of its relative hardiness and
    high caloric value.
    Like some of the developing African countries....

    Indeed, and I believe it's being experimented
    with there.

    ... Taking something with a grain of salt may raise your blood pressure.
    So could not taking things with a grain of salt.
    True. ;)

    ... No-fat cream cheese is not food; it has no cream, it has no cheese.

    A T-bone steak has no cream and no cheese.

    Cherry Thistle
    cat: booze, sour
    servings: 1

    1 1/2 oz Scotch
    1 oz lemon juice
    3/4 oz Cherry Heering
    1/4 oz simple syrup
    1 egg white
    Garnish - cherry

    In a cocktail shaker without ice, combine first
    4 ingredients. Add an egg white. Shake all that
    up hard without ice (this is called a "dry shake")
    and then add ice and shake again (a "wet shake").
    Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a
    cherry.

    I'm presuming that for people "in the know" it's

    the public that takes the effort.

    Probably true on both counts.... I'll try, but it can be more of a task
    than I'm up to following up on, especially with some people...

    The concept is not all that appealing - how many
    times have I visited upstate New York, and have I
    ever had a garbage plate?
    Apparently never.... want to rectify that...? (G) Richard's had a

    Correct. Incorrect. I usually don't choose

    Indeed... that was a bit of a joke, that survival bit.... :) He may
    even have enjoyed it on occasion... :)

    Probably not all that worth watching... although depending on how it actually played out, might be interesting after all... Not that I'd seek it out....

    Harrelson, as it turns out, and I've still

    I may have seen one or the other or both... probably not in the movie
    you reference, though... ;)

    It might be that (as I suggested before) the
    posters were palate-dead or at least indiscriminate
    or else that the recipe hoovers on that BBS were.

    Too bad - Fred Ball appears to have found

    So I noticed.... ;)

    Could well be...

    ... No-fat cream cheese is not food; it has no cream, it has no cheese.
    A T-bone steak has no cream and no cheese.

    It doesn't claim to be cream or cheese.... <G> It has what it claims to
    be.... And Richard, standing at my shoulder, says that one can put
    cream or cheese (and I add, or cream cheese) on the steak... ;)
