No, just give me the (dark) chocolate and I'll be happy.

It is pretty good, but it's not substantially specialler
than the better domestic or Swiss or German brands.

Still beats milk or the white stuff they try to call chocolate.

There's no still about it. Always was, always will be.

Agreed, so Steve and I are thinking of several levels of dark chocolate (maybe different brands as well) for picnic s'mores.

When short of the stuff I've been known in desperation
to pick out the chocolate chips in ice cream when there's
that around and no chocolate bars.

Well, you get to talk in depth to people, but the
bigger nonhouse ones were more efficient ways to get
to put names and faces together.

Only if you remember what name goes with what face. (G)

In my case, it's more remembering which name goes
with which ideas.

My thing is that I want to have used up all my resources
when I die and to die when I've used up all my resources.

What are the possibilities?

There are three.

Time will tell.

It will certainly tell which of the three!

history. Fairbanks, of course, can get quite a bit hotter.

And B-52 sized mosquitoes to go with the heat.

You can fight the big ones, but swarms of tiny ones
(a phenomenon that also occurs) are equally annoying
and apt to take away as much blood in the aggregate
- and cause more discomfort.

True, like gnats or no-see-ums.

Irritating little creatures. By the way, my blood type
is "be positive." I don't always obey that.

Artificial intelligence has a long way to go, though it
would seem easy to program a sliding scale of toll
avoidance, based on cost per mile or even raw cost.

Too much for the pea brains to compute?

No, but perhaps too much for the pea brains to program.

I've had in-between pickles, which were decent, but
half-sours are pretty ideal to my taste buds, even
though insufficiently garlicked ones retain too much
cucumber flavor.

i don't recall having any, but may have, under a different name.

In NYC, where they can be found, they're called, no
surprise, three-quarter-sour pickles.

Stock isn't good enough in that recipe, which needs the fruitiness to pull the flavors together.

OK, so juices or balsamic vinegar plus something would be better.

Unreduced stock is way overrated.

Some may disagree with you, others, not so.

You can say that about about anything. Some people
even like zucchini.

That works. I've got some bags of chocolate chips in the pantry, just in case.................

Mine is B+ so the mosquitoes tend to leave me alone and attack Steve.

Possibly, but may be coming soon to a GPS near you.

Last time I was anywhere near NYC was flying out of JFK in 1989, on our
way back to Berlin.

It's good, in some things.
