others. > ML> If at first you don't succeed, walk away again.

And come back with a different plan of attack.

Or refrain from doing that.

True, whichever is to your advantage.

Or puts things in a more general balance.

The salvage stores in my experience often stock
things that are perilously close to or beyond
expiration. I'm not sure what the laws are about
that, and often you see weasel words like "best
by" - which means that if you acquire the stuff
after then, it might not be your best buy.

We went to one of those stores with some friends in PA a few years ago.
They bought quite a few things; we left the store as empty handed as we
came in. Everything we looked at had a "Best By" date that was long
past.

So you've witnessed what I was talking about.

can't have too much dairy (some, but not a lot) so I let his mom

entree for him but let him have the rest of the meal.

But people don't want to be such a BOther. Except
that they are.

Agreed--that sort of action hurts others in the long run.

That's why many harmful behaviors should be
minimized - not so much that they hurt the actor,
but rather that they affect others, directly or
indirectly.

California, especially on the coast, has been pretty
progressive about such things as public facilities.
That's what those whopping taxes go to, at least in
large part.

Trouble is, other parts of the country need the transportation as bad,
or more so, than the cities but can't afford the cost.

Result: people who need the transportation don't go
or live there. This might have many economic and
social consequences intended and unintended.

But you weren't feeding growing kids and a spouse.

The Germans can do it, you can do it.

We did buy German beef as well--low and slow with the crock pot did a
good job of tenderising it.

Not all German breeds make tough beef. Holsteins for
example are prized meat animals in some parts of the
world.

Watergate Salad

Easy enough to make but nutritionally, almost but not quite dead.

One can say that about many sweets, but I sort of
wonder whether gelatin desserts are as nutrition-
sparse as people (nutritionists) claim.

Most of them are sugar, water, artificial coloring and some sort of thickener. Don't see much in the line of nutrition there.

One question is whether gelatin is as worthless as
the dietitians say.

Hi Michael,

And come back with a different plan of attack.

Or refrain from doing that.

True, whichever is to your advantage.

Or puts things in a more general balance.

That'll work too.

things that are perilously close to or beyond
expiration. I'm not sure what the laws are about
that, and often you see weasel words like "best
by" - which means that if you acquire the stuff

Yes, and figured it wasn't worth our time/money in that place.

Probably so.

It's been so long since we were over there, I've no idea what cuts or
cows the commissaries had.

A bit of protein in the gelatin is all I can see.
