I think that complete international cooperation is
eventually necessary for our species survival. As of
now, it is a utopian idea that, like socialism, relies
too much on human perfectability in the near run. The
So society has a long ways to go before we reach utopia--if we ever
will.
Society can't be perfectible until humans are. Whether
humans are or not is probably offtopic for here, as it
treads on both religious and political ground.
understandings of the day. As with the United States,
one may add, but we started with a relatively clean
slate and instead of allowing for multiple cultures
as was necessary in Europe just ran roughshod over
the one that preceded the colonials.
Which we're still fighting those battles, to some extent.
To a very great extent, though one hopes that
the long-term trajectory is positive.
on the Isles, a military-based attempt to reconstruct a
British empire, or reliance on Europe for basically alms,
making Britain exactly the vassal state it's trying to get
away from being (which many pretend it is). The fact is
that unless England is completely reruralized, there is no
way it can sustain itself (Ireland and even Scotland are
not at capacity, not sure about Wales).
And the sun will set on the British Empire.
Unless the Brits are smarter than they appear.
Probably so, but in reality, it doesn't seem to work that well. If

But it would be a start. At Lydia's I tried to stay out
of it, sous-ing (not sousing as I originally wrote) only,
but the occasional something obtruded, and I ended up
being part of the problem.
Fact is, we all like to cook and eat. Seems that no matter what we cook,
we generate left overs which have to be used up, either as is, or incorporated into a new dish which in itself may generate more left
overs. Then there are the "experiments" like comparing canned German
potato salad to home made and using up the juices from the canned in
some other dish...................all in all, lots to eat. (G)
Efficient budgeting is possible. I recently made
several meals where everyone was satisfied but there
were scanty to no leftovers. I admit that in the echo
picnic situation that might be a near-impossibility.
I'm presuming that you would have gone doctor
shopping if that were not the case.
Probably not as Steve was still active duty. Military medical care
was > less than having to pay out of pocket civilian care. We only saw one
bill for all the surgery, radiation, MTI, etc and that was because
Hah, that happened to me with the social security
number, and it was a mess.
Somtimes you get it right the first time, other times, it's a royal
mess.
?? In this case it's been a royal pain.
I'm going in Wednesday; still doing well on the healing now.
Fingers crossed.
The hole is almost all filled in now--down to an even smaller dressing.
By the time I see the doctor again in early June, the hole should be all filled in. Got a good work out in therapy Friday, now that it can be
worked with no danger of infection or incision line coming open.
I wonder whether Swisher's abdominal would would
have healed better or faster with a honey dressing.

to encounter New Guinea headhunters, either.
Same here. (G)
I might almost rather see the headhunters.
As long as they've been well fed beforehand. (G)

True, they'd rather do in the threat.
Mama bears are a bit of an exception. More typical
is the mama grouse or duck who pretends to be
injured to draw a predator's attention away from
the kids.

We had a regular order with Thompson's Honor Dairy and
an insulated metal milkbox outside the back door.
We had the milk box too. But, once Mom started working, the milk man
would come inside and put the milk into the fridge. Small town, nobody
at that time locked doors so he could do that.
Sometimes I too am nostalgic for those days.
You can use fresh ground flour over the picnic week end.
Does that mean I'll have to hull and scrub the wheat
by hand?
No, we sift it and then run it thru the mill.
Yeah, but for that recipe and most recipes I make
white flour is a given.
We've had various starters going over the years. The current one has been going not quite 3 years; Steve's sister gave us some that she'd originally gotten from King Arthur Flour. We turned it into a whole wheat version. (G)
Is there a reliable way of keeping it going without
getting weird in a few years?
Use it often, keep it in the fridge when not using it.
The yeasts still mutate, and often the mutations
make them weaker or worse tasting - anyhow, less
useful for the baker.
