Quoting Michael Loo to Nancy Backus on 05-25-19 11:04 <=-

All right, remind me to ask you about it in September.

Nancy can do that, too. You can see that I'm
setting her up as the house archivist.

So I see... that might or might not actually work... ;)

If it doesn't work, nobody will lose much, anyway.

I'll probably remember enough to tell Ruth that she was supposed to ask
you about some things come September... (G) Let her figure out what
they were... ;)

that it wasn't hugely sweet, either.

I'd still rather have the fat, than the sauce.

Oh, for sure. I'll agree with that for at least
as long as there's a gallbladder in me.

Even without a gallbladder, your body will still manufacture the bile
you need to digest the fat... it just won't have a place to store it up
for delivering large dosages.... It's not made any difference for me, without a gallbladder now for over 20 years....

I would prefer to get 50% of my calories from
fat, so not having one might slow me down a bit.

Maybe, maybe not... I certainly don't limit fat in my diet... and in
following your good/bad example, I'm probably eating more fat than I
even used to.... ;) I didn't even have to adjust to not having the
gallbladder once it was removed, just ate as I'd been eating... and
still drinking whole milk, as is still the case.... etc... I might not
be getting 50% of my calories from fat, but I'm probably at least
approaching that at times....

... Cannibal Tip #102: First listen to sermon, THEN eat missionary.

That's only if one is a churchgoer to begin with!
I for one would be inclined to forgo the sermon.

Perhaps you'd rather the tag about the cannibal getting a taste of
religion when he ate the missionary....? (G)

I'm torn between the need to take care of the
weaker (coddling them, if you will) and thinking,
oh, let them suffer. We do have some kind of
responsibility for those stupider than ourselves.

Particularly the ones in our sphere of influence...

But, as I noted to Ruth, there comes a point
where you just stop dealing with things.

True.... there's that pearls before swine issue.... ;)

Probably only confirming his observation that we aren't the general dining public... And I don't think there would be a need to bring our own protein....

If you wanted ostrich katsu ... but then chicken
thighs are not much closer to the tastes of the
general clientele.

But much closer to his own tastes....

Maybe you should ask for omakase, letting him do
whatever he wants with whatever he's got. The AYCE
sushi is along those lines, but perhaps on a special
occasion you could tell him to prepare your meal
without regard to what it'll cost you.

Dunno if we'd ever have the funds to quite do that... :) But I did get
a chance to have the dark-meat chicken Katsudon recently... and Richard
just had it yesterday... He ordered the Katsudon, with chef's choice of
pork or dark-meat chicken... Fu had the drumsticks and gladly made him
the darkmeat variety... ;) One of these days I'll try darkmeat
Oyakodon... :)

sauce... the scallops were big and not overcooked... and practically tasteless.... sigh... Wegmans has sweeter scallops than those were...

They are really hit-or-miss - the frequency of encountering what
I describe as shellfish Jell-O is dismaying.

Chances are that I'll be back there at some point... But I'll probably refrain from getting scallops again there... There were some other intriguing offerings....

Ordering shellfish, especially scallops, is
pretty much a leap of faith anyway.

So I've noticed... and I keep being hopeful.... ;) But do learn that
some venues aren't going to come through for me.... :)
