    An extra pair of ears is said to be a good thing.
    Usually so, especially when one set of ears doesn't hear that well.

    Hearing is not irrelevant, but listening is the
    crucial thing.

    Every now and again I try to remember what my
    first airline was and sometimes figure it out and
    promptly forget. Ozark or National or something.
    Not Allegany or Mohawk?

    Nup, it was a DC-4 or -6.

    When we were over Greenland, the pilot told us to look out the
    windows; > had a good look at the island with lots of snow (this was early July) > still on it.
    It's likely that Greenland has white stuff over
    much of it all year.
    It was an unexpected treat to see the island tho, never had a flight
    where it was pointed out to us before. I think all but one flight
    previously had been night flights tho.

    As I recall, the ghostly aura of Greenland at
    night is kind of cool in the summer; that
    remembrance might be colored by its remoteness
    - it was quite a long time ago I learned to
    sleep on the airplane.

    And other times you can do the "push aways" without a guilt trip.
    The stuff has to be pretty nasty before that
    happens, though.
    Either nasty or a strong dislike will make me push away, fast.

    I try to avoid finding such things on my plate
    in the first place.

    Pack the sun screen and a hat. We might get up to the 70s by
    Friday > ML> but > then cool back down to upper 50s/low 60s.
    Sunscreen, no. Hat, probably not - when I packed my bag,
    I spake too soon. The other day it was forecast
    to be be partly cloudy and 85, no sweat, and it
    turned out to be full sun and 91. I got a bit
    more pinkly than I'd like.
    Better to have and not need, than to not have and need.

    There's a case when the wants were less endless
    than the needs!

    New Zealand" on it. Swisher suggests that it's probably
    not a good idea to wear it at present.
    No, unless you're wearing it in sympathy.
    Which I would be.
    But people might not interpret it that way.

    How else would they interpret it?

    Governance being what it is, the state has an
    interest in getting involved, but it also has an
    interest in not getting involved.
    One of these arguements where either side can be equally right or
    wrong.
    Or neither is either.
    Also a valid point.

    It is, but when claiming authenticity, it behooves
    one to be authentic, which with southeast Asian
    food generally involves cooking stuff that your
    average American can't eat.
    Their heat tolerance is much higher than the average American's.
    But to claim authenticity they should at least
    be prepared to deliver.
    Then dumb it down for those that want the taste but no heat.

    I'm a bit of a purist for that; restaurants of
    course are tempted to cater to the bottom line,
    but they should at least be a little ashamed
    when they go too far in that direction.

    Pig ear stew
    categories: offal, main, they weren't serious
    servings: 6
    M's notes. Saute vegetables first. Julienne the ears
    and don't throw out. Use smoked pork shoulder or
    similar instead of tenderloin. This need not be a
    joke recipe.
    Had to smile at this one--our younger daughter used to buy pig's ears
    for our cocker spaniel. Never would have thought of them in a stew.

    Those might be fine but would require extra
    attention, having been prepared especially to
    stand up to canine teeth. Perhaps the sledgehammer
    treatment would be helpful. On the other hand,
    Clean Dave once got a pack of dog treats made out
    of duck parts, and we tried them as is and found
    them rather enjoyable.

    Hi Michael,

    Usually so, especially when one set of ears doesn't hear that well.

    crucial thing.

    True, but if you don't hear properly, listening is harder also.

    Every now and again I try to remember what my
    first airline was and sometimes figure it out and
    promptly forget. Ozark or National or something.
    Not Allegany or Mohawk?

    Nup, it was a DC-4 or -6.

    From where to where?

    It's likely that Greenland has white stuff over
    much of it all year.
    It was an unexpected treat to see the island tho, never had a flight where it was pointed out to us before. I think all but one flight previously had been night flights tho.

    night is kind of cool in the summer; that
    remembrance might be colored by its remoteness

    An interesting memory, none the less.

    - it was quite a long time ago I learned to
    sleep on the airplane.

    I've not mastered that yet, no matter how much I try.


    And other times you can do the "push aways" without a guilt
    trip. > ML> The stuff has to be pretty nasty before that
    happens, though.
    Either nasty or a strong dislike will make me push away, fast.

    I try to avoid finding such things on my plate
    in the first place.

    It's unavoidable sometimes.

    I spake too soon. The other day it was forecast
    to be be partly cloudy and 85, no sweat, and it
    turned out to be full sun and 91. I got a bit
    more pinkly than I'd like.
    Better to have and not need, than to not have and need.

    There's a case when the wants were less endless
    than the needs!

    And a tube of sunscreen fits into pockets, hipsacks, backpacks, easily
    enough that it should be one of the "must packs".

    New Zealand" on it. Swisher suggests that it's probably
    not a good idea to wear it at present.
    No, unless you're wearing it in sympathy.
    Which I would be.
    But people might not interpret it that way.

    How else would they interpret it?

    Don't know what some deranged mind might think, just that it's open for
    all kinds of possibilities.

    It is, but when claiming authenticity, it behooves
    one to be authentic, which with southeast Asian
    food generally involves cooking stuff that your
    average American can't eat.
    Their heat tolerance is much higher than the average

    when they go too far in that direction.

    Seems like a lot of American places do prefer to cater to the bottom
    line. Too many people with no sense of adventure to their eating have re-enforced the "cook to all tastes, from bland to boring" concept.

    Definatly not something I would want to try, just the memories that the
    mention of pig's ears that it engendered.

    Gourmet dogs eating duck?
