As long as the roses have a good scent--a lot of the hybrids are bred

Why would that be - scenty roses look good ehough.
Maybe they are "hypoallergenic" flowers?

Out of curiosity, I did find on The Straight

did greet each other saying "how" or similar.

Figures, there had to be some basis for the common useage of it in film,

Au contraire, one can't put any fictionizing

The headline on the Google listing was List of
Natural Redheads - Wikipedia, so I could have
been forgiven for clicking on it.

Understandable.

Irritating, though.

Quite so, one would think.

I replicated the search a day later behind
some protection and found it gone. Someone
must have complained to Google or Wikipedia
or both.

Good to get rid of it. Too bad no film clips of redheads like Lucille
Ball in the candy factory or similar tho.

I didn't stick around long enough to find them
if they were there.

But small potatoes are good for a number of dishes where you

Civilization is built, 'tis true, on large
quantities of small potatoes.

Small potatoes add up to mountains of potatoes, given enugh time and potatoes.

deserve to be ridiculed, but they are
relatively few and far between.

I try not to, tho it means biting my tongue sometimes.

It's often good to bite a tongue or two.

Getting some fresh meat in the picture. (G)

Fresh blood perhaps, too.

Ernst Toch, I think it was, wrote a

Interesting, have to check it out.

I'm not surprised.

Campbell's soup cans? (G)

True, only thing different with them was the name of the soup/some of
the ingredients.

I forget, but wasn't Warhol mostly interested
in tomato? I was in some famous museum or

I've found that cilantro really is needed in
some of these recipes. Rather than substitute,
the better part of valor is not to try at all.

Steve can't stand even a small bit of it so we don't use it at all.

advocate subbing a flavorful parsley, but
in truth that's not a great solution. This

Tacu tacu
categories: side, starch, Peruvian
Yield: 8 side dish servings

1 c dried brown lentils (7 oz)
7 1/4 c water, divided
2 ts finely chopped garlic, divided
6 Tb vegetable oil, divided
1 c long-grain white rice
1 sm red onion, finely chopped
1 Tb bottled ajÿ amarillo or ajÿ mirasol paste
- sometimes labeled "crema"

Bring lentils, 5 c water, and 1/2 ts salt to a
boil in a heavy medium saucepan, then simmer,
uncovered, until lentils are just tender, 12
to 25 min (depending on age of lentils).
Drain, then transfer to a large bowl.

Meanwhile, cook 1 ts garlic in 1 Tb oil in
another heavy medium saucepan over medium
heat, stirring, 1 min. Add rice and cook,
stirring, 1 min. Add remaining water and 1 ts
salt and bring to a boil, then cook, covered,
over low heat 20 min. Remove from heat and
let stand, covered, 10 min. Stir rice from
top to bottom with a rubber spatula, then
stir into lentils.

While rice stands, saute onion and remaining
garlic in 1 Tb oil in a 12" heavy nonstick
skillet over medium-high heat until onion
is golden, 3 to 5 min. Stir in chile paste
and cook, stirring, 1 min. Stir onion
mixture into rice mixture.

Heat remaining oil in skillet over medium
heat until hot. Add rice mixture and fry,
gently flattening with a spatula, until a
golden-brown crust forms on underside, about
3 min. Stir rice and fry, flattening it,
until a crust forms on underside again,
about 3 min more. Repeat frying and stirring
until bits of crust are dispersed throughout,
about 9 min more (15 min total frying time).

Hi Michael,

It would make sense that a system of communication
should be established for trade, peacekeeping, and
so on.

Sounds logical, beats having a Tower of Babel situation where nobody understands anybody else.

With patience and incentive, humans will
learn to communicate in some way or other.

Usually starting with a primitive sign language and progressing to some
sort of vocal communications, most likely.

A rose should have some scent to it, doesn't make sense not to, IMO.
Same as most other flowers, tho some are a bit too strong for me.

So much fiction to that already, hard to separate out the kernel or so
of truth in the "based on real events" in some shows/movies.

Yes, but some service animals are really needed. The explosion in
"emotional support" animals has gotten out of hand tho. Are airlines
expected to stock pet treats now as well as snacks for the human
passengers?

We'll pass on it and try something else with the lentils I have on hand.
