In the long term, corporate growth is
impossible and illusory.
Indeed. :)
Cannibalism is the order of the day (or
year or century) in business.
And on the rte 133 part of it we diverged
from my suggested methodology and went off
buying stuff individually, which resulted in
way too much food.
Yup... But it was all fun... :)
Most of it was, for me.
It's beginning to sound like it... although it didn't sound like there would have been time to deploy them....
No ... actually, a vast majority of crashes
have their genesis at way too low an altitude
for chutes to do any good. Not to say that the
vast majority of crashes occur at way too low
an altitude for chutes to do any good, which is
Tonto-logical.
Just that they start there....?
More relevantly, end there.
When is the reunion...?
Starts the day of my last meeting on the east
coast, April 12, so I miss a day of it.
Is much scheduled for that first day...?
I didn't pay that much attention, it not being
super important to me; but I seem to recall the
school-sponsored events loading towards the
beginning, and you can imagine how favorably I
would be inclined to fund-raising lunches and
school tours and such.

Of course, Nancy could eat a normal caponata,
which is normally an apple-free dish.
Which is what I thought.... and told Dale so... ;) Never heard of
adding apple or pear to caponata.... :)
Could add a sweetness contrast such as the
frequently-used currants do.
Makes sense...
But currants make far more sense as small and
discrete and less likely to mush into the rest
of the dish. Most sense would be to rely on the
onions that are normally part of the dish to do
their job.
Not that I know - maybe he's still at the
extended stay hotel (and I hope building up
hotel points!).
Would he know what to do with the points...? ;)
He kind of focuses on money, so the chances are
he'd see points as an extension of the same
concept, which it is, more or less.
Heh, I reread that as "vegetarian clueless cuisine."
Not too far off at that..... (G)
Within delta.
Yup....
... 75% of statisticians are 90% confident 52% of the time.
But how many are 100% confident?
Probably not too many of them, if at all... they should know better... ;)
Or any other percentage. That joke number describes
35.1 percent of the postulated statisticians but
says nothing about the other about two thirds.
By the way, were you aware that in academia
there is currently considerable backlash
against the entire concept of statistical
significance?
No, but not all that surprising... there've always been some that
questioned the use of that in many fields... ;)
It's not just the ease of chunks of the population
falling through the holes but the entire relation
of some artificially defined validity to truth.
Some are more delicate than others, I've found... :) And, speaking of blueberries, at our talent night at church, there were a few culinary
arts entries.... after showing them off, they were served to the
public... :) One was a lemon angel food cake topped with whipped cream and what appeared to be a homemade blueberry sauce... The blueberries
were large and flavorful, and just a bit crisp (not at all mushy)...
Maybe I wrote a couple weeks ago about a batch
of Driscoll's blueberries from Mexico that were
hard crisp, more like the texture of an apple than
a blueberry;
I don't remember quite that discussion...
Okay, maybe I forgot to post or maybe even write
about this box of nice-looking gigantic Mexican
blueberries from Driscoll that actually crunched
when bitten and tasted like lightly sugared seedy
little potatoes. I.e., a little sweet, no tart,
and plenty starchy tasteless.
I returned yesterday and found that some had in
fact softened, though they didn't taste superb.
Just a little better....
I combined them in a jam with some
over-the-hill raspberries and strawberries, which
tasted okay in the anonymous "mixed-fruit preserves"
way, but at least one could be certain, unlike with
Smuckers, that there was no apple in the stuff.
The flavors fell into ranks of strawberry and
raspberry with almost no blueberry, which makes sense
of the paucity of flavor these had to begin with,
And they probably had less added sugar in the mix... ;)
There's always some significant source of sugar in
a real jam. The no-sugar-added ones either cheat by
using fruit syrup (which of course adds sugar) or
consist of a witch's brew of chemical thickeners and
sweeteners.
If the stuff had been horrid, a Dixie cup size
serving would be too much; yumminess made the
serving size too small.
Indeed... :) I'd've been glad to have had a full serving of it, too...
but they wanted to make sure there was enough to go around... :)
The maker was no doubt chuffed that you were
so enthusiastic, though.
... Not Quites: It is the Dawning of the Age of Asparagus.
Every spring is the age of asparagus.
Much better than the Age of Aquarius, to my mind... :)
You can view astrology as anyone's old superstition
or as a set of metaphors for life. It's kind of both,
and the main danger is in taking it too seriously or
as a predictor or guide to reality.
There's just a bit of time lag at work here... Give people a chance to get up to speed on it... ;)
Just so it's not apathy, anomie, disinterest, and
just plain not caring.
There are a few people getting into it... :)
Just so we don't dwindle and die away into
unimportant insignificance, as John Mortimer
might say.
Today with the bounty described earlier I
made red-cooked pork, lentil pottage, and
parboiled pork to be sliced and finished
in a pan to go with the lentils.
And that was just from the pork belly... :) Looked good, too... :) Saturday, I cooked up a couple of Peruvian marinaded chicken thighs from Wegmans... baked them in the oven, and also baked up a couple of Wegmans broccoli and cheese potato gratins to serve with, along with some fresh steamed (in the nuker) broccoli... The cats approved of the chicken,
too... ;)
Okay, that's a semi-homemade I might
semi-approve of.
... I never thought I would become a Luddite but I don't want to Tweet.
When Swisher came up with the Luddites domain,
I felt that I'd found home.
