• 326 what we had yeste

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to NANCY BACKUS on Friday, May 03, 2019 14:38:20
    The original question was who never won all the majors
    in his sport. I forget which one Palmer didn't get but
    one could look it up.
    OK, it's a fore-gone conclusion that I didn't know Arcaro was a golfer
    nor Palmer never won all the majors in golf. I'm not tee-d off about it
    tho.

    According to the PGA, only Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary
    Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods have accomplished
    the feat.

    Yes, the local historical association sells a T-shirt that reads
    "Wake > Forest: Where the University Got Started". Amazing, how many people
    think that the university is in the town.
    In Boston, you get people wandering around dazed, looking
    for Arlington, and to help them you first must determine if
    they're looking for Arlington Street (downtown Boston) or
    There's also Arlingtons in TX and VA.

    There are bunches of them - city fathers are not
    famous for imagination in naming, Truth or
    Consequences notwithstanding. I have been in both
    the towns you cite; but a bewildered tourist
    looking around the hideous pit of Boylston Station,
    one of the first two subway stations in the United
    States and likely not renovated since its opening
    120-odd years ago, is probably not going to want
    directions to Arlington, Kentucky or Arlington,
    Wyoming (okay, I made that up - Wyoming is one of
    the few states that doesn't have an Arlington).

    Arlington (a town a few miles north). Or "how do I get to
    Harvard?" - the joke answer is "study hard" but doesn't
    Same as "how do I get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice"
    sort of joke.

    Yeah. I met Claudia Cassidy in Carnegie Hall.

    There's also a blink and you miss it Harvard, NY along Route 30 in NY,
    not too far off Route 17. A family in the town of Andes had the last
    name Harvard; their son got a scholarship to the school because there
    was some distant connection.

    There are a whole series of financial aids given
    to people who have some peculiar characteristic
    or other - a name, a school attended, an ancestor's
    profession. It's quixotic but less unfair than the
    buying of or cheating to get places at university
    that is so much in the news lately.

    If you're interested in the Alcotts/Allcotts, you want to
    go there rather than Cambridge.
    Semi interested; I read a lot of LMA's books when I was younger.

    They spent their time a day's carriage ride west
    of Cambridge.

    Heck, I peaked around puberty.
    But not in golf. (G)
    No, in golf, I shot a 100-odd in my 20s, although on a
    short course. That was the best I did.
    I've played a few rounds of mini but don't remember any scores except
    that they were never outstanding.

    This wasn't mini, at which I was truly terrible.
    This was a course designed for amateurs of a
    certain lack of experience or ability, with elevated
    tees, short (under a couple hundred yards) fairways,
    and few if any hazards - I don't recall having fallen
    into any, which means there may not have been any -
    when I've "played" on a real course I've managed to
    find just about every sand trap or puddle in sight
    and once managed to get my ball wedged between two
    cactuses.

    We see a lot more of them thru text message pictures but, hey,
    better > than not seeing them at all.
    As with those relatives who aren't so close,
    whatever works. It's fortunate for us that we
    have different modes and avenues of communication
    that can be opened and closed as needed.
    More so than when we were growing up or bringing up our daughters.

    Yeah, back then it was say it or write it.

    Well, put a fiver in every week anyway.
    Might do that to get some spending money for the trip. Or, grocery buying money, as the need may arise.
    I don't practice quite what I preach anyway.
    How many of us do? It is an idea to save for a trip, night on the town,
    or whatever but usually the money is spent on something needed more
    urgently.

    I'm a believer in "mental health days," therapy
    dollars, what have you.

    but then I don't make blancmange. I even use thighs
    in schnitzel, and, although the texture is quite
    different, the flavor is more intense.
    I'll still use the white meat for schnitzel.
    If I have white meat, that's one of my preferred ways
    of using it.
    We've tried baking it, instead of frying--works quite well overall. It
    keeps the stove top cleaner too. (G)

    I've had mixed luck with oven substitutes
    for frying. For me, higher heat than your
    home oven can provide is stock-in-trade.

    Title: Zuccini Schnitzel with Leeks,Peppers in Sour Cream
    Sauce > It's one of the WWTT category recipies. (G)
    Yep.
    If, indeed, they were seriously thinking.

    Or at all.

    categories: Singapore, main, pasta, shellfish
    servings: about 8
    400 g Prawns
    1 Squid
    100 g Roasted pork
    2 Tb Cornflour
    1 ts Salt
    250 g Yellow noodles
    120 g Rice noodles
    2 Eggs
    h - Stock
    1/2 c Oil
    Prawn heads and shells
    2 whole bulbs Garlic (chopped)
    1 1/2 Tb Dashi powder
    h - Garnish
    Fish sauce
    Chinese chives
    Red chilli
    Fried shallots

    Remove heads and shell of prawns and devein.
    Marinade the prawns with 1/2 ts salt and 1 Tb
    cornflour and set aside. Slice the squid and
    marinade with salt and cornflour.

    To make the stock, heat the oil in a saucepan
    and fry the prawn heads and shells. Once they
    start to brown, add chopped garlic and fry
    until fragrant. Add 700 ml water. Blend with
    hand blender and add dashi stock powder.
    Simmer for 10 min and sieve.

    Wash the yellow noodles in boiling water,
    drain and place in cold water to stop the
    cooking process. Drain and set aside.

    Heat the experience pan and add yellow
    noodles and rice noodles. Fry the noodles until
    they are slightly charred. Move the noodles to
    one side and add beaten eggs to the pan. Allow
    the eggs to brown and then mix with the noodles.
    Add half the stock to the noodles, then top with
    prawns, squid and roasted pork. Cover and allow
    to simmer for 3 min. Remove cover and toss to
    mix. Once the stock is almost totally absorbed,
    add the rest of the stock and Chinese chives.
    Simmer for another 1 to 2 min. Add fish sauce
    to taste. Serve with calamansi limes, fried
    shallots and sliced red chilli.

    I think you meant to send this to Ruth Haffly... (note the puns in the
    set below... and I didn't see a copy of this addressed to her)... I left
    the message otherwise intact in case you want to use it to resend to
    her... ;)

    Re the scholarship oddities, my first ever piano student got a
    scholarship to Dartmouth on the basis that his grandfather was a
    full-blood American Indian... He now has a full career working at an
    organ company and playing church organ in the Buffalo area....

    Re therapy dollars/mental health days, agreed... :)
