For sure.

And I'm not holding my breath on the possibility of it showing up again.

It's ceased to be our concern.

Though I've been doing 2000 Calories in one go plus snacks
and appear to be not gaining anything.

I think most days my calorie count is below 2000 for 3 meals. Adding ice cream as a post supper treat will put it above that, but not by a huge amount.

For most people who don't have major exertions,
especially smaller ones, 2000 is an oversufficiency.

That might be prudent, but I doubt I'll be that clever.

And why not?

I don't particularly want to, and there's no
necessity yet.

Good enough reasoning.

The kicker would be if I run out of dough and brain
cells at the same time.

For the last 3 days, here in Belgium it's been lows in the
50s and highs in the upper 60s, pretty perfect actually.
It may get warmer by the time we hit Antwerp next week.

NIce weather, better than the heat wave I understand France and Germany
are getting.

We did get up into the 90s for a few days. Not like
the 100+ of a couple weeks ago.

I'd be surprised if you didn't encounter some poison

Quite so.

When going to my quartet sessions in Oceanside or wherever

I saw a lot of this the summer I worked at a Jewish camp.

Undoubtedly, but though it may at one time have been a
source of cheap protein, it isn't any more.

Probably not missed by most people anyway, except maybe the lodest generations.

I'm kind of fond of it, and I was never even Jewish.

Speaking of something that once was a (relatively)
cheap source of protein but is now a luxury item -
Pepper Short Ribs

Looks good, have to get some more wine tho.

Ah, there are possible substitutes for that one, juices
and such.

Hi MIchael,

No breakfast for me today, and I went until 1430,
but there was finally a place called Chocolate
Jungle where I got a cold chocolate which stood me
until supper.

I had a light breakfast, about my usual but subbed a piece of toast

for > a higher carb breadstuff.

On the day I'm typing this, I had an American waffle
with Belgian chocolate on top for breakfast.

Sounds good; I've given up on waffles and pancakes--too tempting to
drench them in high sugar toppings (maple syrup, chocolate, etc) that
are not good for me.

Shipps. Other paraphernalia > ML> seems to > have vanished into the proverbial black hole.

For sure.

And I'm not holding my breath on the possibility of it showing up

again.

Agreed, and at this point, is it really worth starting another
"tradition"?

We've been upper 80s/low 90s, lower humidity but still will be nice when
the heat of the summer backs off.

Or it ours.

We usually have a pretty good idea of where we want to go, just need the
GPS for pinpointing directions for the most part.
