    You'll have reduced me to those monosyllabic grunts
    if you don't watch out.
    I will, if you lay off the snarls.
    No deal.
    Fair enough.
    Being snarly feels good sometimes.
    Get it out of your system then.

    Humbug to you, too.

    Can't tell. From the way she talked, she
    just didn't like food, and what she was
    doing talking to me about food (much less
    cooking for me) is a mystery to this day.
    A mystery not worth trying to solve, I presume.
    She was very pretty - a former model and of course
    on the skinny side.
    Used to eating to keep her weight down.

    Or refraining from doing so! Sometimes I wonder
    if an eating disorder is a prerequisite for that
    profession. It certainly seems to help.

    But you see that happens all the time. Some
    species gets the upper hand over another and
    extincts the other one. We're some of the
    worst culprits in this regard.
    We are, but can be checked, to a certain extent.
    We have to check ourselves, being on top of
    the check list, er, food chain.
    Don't want to ruin the chain below us.

    Stewardship is a good idea though difficult
    at times.

    No, but there may be a trend you've just not become aware of. It may take looking at your parent's histories to help see yours better.
    As if that were possible. Ah, well.
    No medical records or doctors you could talk with for information?

    You're thinking in modern American terms. Answer:
    of course not, especially in the case of my
    paranoid schizophrenic mother.

    She probably sees a doctor or dentist often enough that one of them would mention it if there were a problem.
    More often than I do, anyway.
    So it appears there's no need to worry then.

    Uhm, don't know about you, when someone collapses on
    my watch, I worry.

    This one was not--it was an old tree in an old neighborhood.
    The tree in the Gildersleeves' yard had been truncated
    (heh) from an early age so manageable for harvesting.
    More so than where we lived.

    We do use coriander, both ground and whole, but not cilantro.
    That would be the seed, something quite different
    and not as objectionable to most.
    Very acceptable for us.

    If you didn't tolerate coriander seed, corned
    beef and pastrami would be denied you.

    So best to try not to dredge them up, if possible. That's why I
    avoid > the combo of pb, grape jelly and white bread. (G)
    We won't inquire about the traumas behind that
    fell combination.
    At least I can talk about it. (G)

    Unlike Clean Dave and the eels.

    Too far, especially now. A bike, maybe, but again, not now.
    Speaking of which, relating to another discussion,
    there really is no such thing as a shank steak.
    Sounds illogical anyway.

    At least misleading. By whatever name, the cut is
    better off with the low and slow method.

    Seems so--you used to have to be tall and skinny but now more
    "realistically sized" models are being seen. Probably most of the not so
    skinny ones still watch what they eat tho.

    But you see that happens all the time. Some

    Worth a try--if enough of us are even partly successful, then there will
    be an impact made on the environment and eco-system.

    Sigh! I'd have to ask my brother if he has any of my parent's medical
    records. I know he has some of their medical history but detailed
    records, probably not.

    That is time to worry but getting scurvy from inadequate Vitamin C
    intake is probably not a worry.

    Hi Dale,

    Or refraining from doing so! Sometimes I wonder
    if an eating disorder is a prerequisite for that
    profession. It certainly seems to help.

    Seems so--you used to have to be tall and skinny but now more "realistically sized" models are being seen. Probably most of the not
    so skinny ones still watch what they eat tho.

    Yesterday, we were at a concert in Lancaster entitled "Spring Doo Wop Cavalcade" with a group of 50+ folks here in Columbia that we recently joined up with. We had never heard of any of the performers before,
    but they were all from early 60's or so. Except for one young guy who

    Probably ones I'd never heard of either. Sha Na Na (with Bowser, a basso profundo) is the only group like that I can recall from my early teens.


    was
    singing with a tribute to his father, Most of them had to be almost as
    old as Gail and I (or maybe more). At one point, I made the comment
    -- "There's a lot of Botox going across that stage". The music was

    Undoubtedly so. Saw a couple of weeks ago that Mick Jagger had to
    postpone a concert tour because he was in the hospital with heart
    issues. The news story said that he's 75--but the clips of him
    strutting, bouncing, etc across the stage--he's got the stamina of a
    much younger person. They didn't show a close up of his face so I
    couldn't tell how much Botox he's had.


    decent but we did not recognize much of it.

    I know what you mean--there's a lot of stuff that I don't recognise any
    more. Back when we were in AZ, our girls liked the "oldies" radio station.................I told them it's not oldies, it's what I heard
    when I was their age.

    Title: Whole Wheat Flatbread (Chapati)
    Categories: Bread, Indian, Vegetarian, Vegan
    Yield: 14 servings

    2 1/4 c Durum flour
    1/2 ts Sea salt
    1 tb Canola oil
    2/3 c -Very warm water

    Combine flours and salt in a large mixing bowl.

    Mix in oil and water to form a stiff dough, adding more water if
    necessary. Remove dough from bowl and knead on a lightly floured
    surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

    Return dough to bowl, cover with a towel and set aside in a warm
    place for one hour.

    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 14 equal
    portions. Roll each piece into a ball and cover with a damp towel.

    Heat an ungreased griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
    Working with one ball of dough at a time, flatten it, then roll into
    a 6" circle, using only enough flour to keep dough from sticking.
    When griddle is hot, pick up dough, shake off excess flour and place
    it on a hot pan. Cook until brown spots appear, about one minute.
    Flip dough over and cook on other side. (Chapati may puff up while
    cooking.)

    Cover and place in a warm oven while cooking remaining chapatis.

    Per chapati: 64 cal, 2 g prot, 81 mg sod, 14 g carb, 0.3 g fat,
    0 mg chol, 18 mg calcium

    HINTS: Substitute durum flour with 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour and 1
    cup unbleached all-purpose flour.

    Spread with margarine or butter after cooking to maintain moistness.

    Was it Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat? I've heard of that

    All ones I would have enjoyed at the time. When I was in college, one of
    my Bible professors asked (since the song was popular) if there was any significance to the name Jeremiah in the song by 3 Dog Night. IIRC,
    nobody in the class thought there was anything to it.

    I always looked at Doo Wop as black "barber shop quartet" music. Not
    that all of the performers were black by any means. But the roots were
    all in 40s and 50s African-American communities across major eastern
    US cities. Particularly NYC and South Philly.

    Doo-wop music generally featured a tenor lead vocalist singing the
    melody of the song with a trio or quartet singing background harmony.
    Sometimes acapella (especially out on the street corner) and other times
    with instrumental accompaniment.

    The Platters and Bill Kenney & the Ink Spots were early doo woppish
    groups who crossed over into pop music. According to thoughtco.com
    Danny & The Juniors had the #1 doo wop song with "At The Hop". Personally
    I don't view that as doo wop. My personal favourite doo wop group was
    Ben E. King and the Drifters. And my favourite song of their many great
    doo wop numbers "There Goes My Baby" followed by "Under The Boardwalk"

    Then there were the Del-Vikings and "Come Go With Me"

    The performers that appeared there were:

    Title: Peas Pilau
    Categories: Indian
    Yield: 1 servings

    2 tb Butter or ghee (clarified
    -butter, doesn't burn
    -easily)
    1 Hot green chili or 1/2 bell
    -pepper, finely chopped
    1/4 c Finely chopped onion
    1/2 ts Finely chopped ginger
    4 Cardamon pods
    4 Whole cloves
    1 Stick whole cinnamon, broken
    -into several pieces
    -(ground spices could be
    -substituted for the above)
    1 c White rice
    1 c Fresh (or frozen) peas
    1/4 ts Turmeric powder, optional
    2 1/4 c Water
    1 ts Salt (optional)

    Melt the butter in a large pot over a low flame. Add the pepper,
    onion, ginger, and whole spices. Heat and stir continually for
    several min. Add the rice and continue stirring so the rice gets
    coated with the butter and spices. (I like to saute' the rice long
    enough that most of it turns a dull white color and even begins to
    brown a bit.) Add the peas, the water and the salt and stir. If a
    yellow color is desired, add the turmeric. Bring to a boil, then
    lower the heat again, cover the pot, and simmer about 20 min. until
    the water has been absorbed and the rice is soft and fluffy. If you
    use canned peas, drain them and add them during the last few minutes
    of cooking. Serve with the whole spices left in, but warn your
    guests not to chomp on them.

    (You can add or substitute all manner of vegetables (diced carrots,
    cauliflower, red & yellow bell peppers, etc.) and nuts (pine nuts,
    pieces of cashews or almonds or pistachios) to this dish... be
    imaginative!)

    serves 4.

    We went to a highly rated Indian/Nepal place for their lunch buffet on
    the day before the rest of the folks got there. It was good, but not as
    good as either of the lunch buffets we go to here in Columbia. I
    suspect that the high rating might be based more on their evening menu
    which has Nepal items as opposed to the lunch buffet which is standard
    chicken items.

    Next day we went to a PA Dutch buffet, pretty good. Much better than
    some of the tour bus buffet meals we had in Pigeon Ford last year.

    On Friday, we went to a dinner theater show (That was Joesph) and they
    did a good job. Only flaw was that they claimed to have prime rib, but
    it had no pink at all and was not too tender. Other proteins were good,
    and a quite good selection of desserts.

    The Indian buffet was our own choice, before the rest of them go there.
    This was not really a "tour" but a group event with a coodinator for
    things.

    Next day we went to a PA Dutch buffet, pretty good. Much better than
    some of the tour bus buffet meals we had in Pigeon Ford last year.

    In that part of PA, it had better be good or the place would be

    I'm pretty sure that one has been there for years. Gail and I recall
    going there 10+ years before. It was quite large, seating for 2200
    people. We were told that on some weekends they serve 10,000 people.
    We briefly went down stairs to their gift shop which was as big as the restaurant. It would have taken several hours to see, walking at a
    crisp pace.

    did a good job. Only flaw was that they claimed to have prime rib,

    Exactly. We had been to that dinner theater before with this same group
    and seem to think that the meal was just a bit better. I'd give it a B- because of the disappointing beef offering, but still better than some
    other buffets we have been to (e.g. Pigeon Forge).

    good, and a quite good selection of desserts.

    Including, I presume, some with chocolate? (G)

    More than one selection with chocolate. Cake, Ice cream, and I don't
    recall what else.

    That town is a HUGE tourist trap.

    I've never been there and it does not sound appealing and neither
    does Dollywood but I bet that the Great Smoky Mountains National
    Park is pretty awesome!

    Hi Dale,

    We went to a highly rated Indian/Nepal place for their lunch buffet on
    the day before the rest of the folks got there. It was good, but not
    as good as either of the lunch buffets we go to here in Columbia. I suspect that the high rating might be based more on their evening menu which has Nepal items as opposed to the lunch buffet which is standard chicken items.

    At least the tour co-ordinators had a different from the usual
    offering, not just a Ryan's (do they still exsist?) or Golden Corral buffet. Give them points for that. (G)

    The Indian buffet was our own choice, before the rest of them go
    there. This was not really a "tour" but a group event with a
    coodinator for
    things.

    OK, reading faster than the brain comprehended again. I need to slow
    down sometimes. (G)

    Next day we went to a PA Dutch buffet, pretty good. Much better than
    some of the tour bus buffet meals we had in Pigeon Ford last year.

    In that part of PA, it had better be good or the place would be
    dropped from the tour bus route.

    I'm pretty sure that one has been there for years. Gail and I recall going there 10+ years before. It was quite large, seating for 2200 people. We were told that on some weekends they serve 10,000 people.


    So they've got it down to a science--so many pounds of potatoes, gallons
    of gravy, heads of cabbage, etc.


    We briefly went down stairs to their gift shop which was as big as the restaurant. It would have taken several hours to see, walking at a
    crisp pace.

    I'd have probably asked where what I wanted (usually a thimble) was
    located, the headed to that area. Other parts of the store would then be explored or not, depending on time and how the knee was holding up.


    On Friday, we went to a dinner theater show (That was Joesph) and they
    did a good job. Only flaw was that they claimed to have prime rib,
    but it had no pink at all and was not too tender. Other proteins were

    Not so prime rib?

    Exactly. We had been to that dinner theater before with this same
    group and seem to think that the meal was just a bit better. I'd give
    it a B- because of the disappointing beef offering, but still better
    than some
    other buffets we have been to (e.g. Pigeon Forge).

    We went to Chili's for dinner after church on Easter Sunday. Steve got
    the chicken fjitas; I got chipotle-mango chicken. We both thought that
    either the chain has slipped, our tastes have grown more or a bit of
    both. That's why we like to go to non chain places a lot of the time.

    good, and a quite good selection of desserts.

    Including, I presume, some with chocolate? (G)

    More than one selection with chocolate. Cake, Ice cream, and I don't recall what else.

    OK, worth trying out some time. (G)

    Did you have some place in mind?

    No, was just rambling on about Pigeon Forge. I rarely go down there except
    to go to specific stores.

    Do I recall that you spotted the vehicle that hit you. Was it stolen? That would be a reason for the driver to flee the scene.

    I did not see the person who hit me. Rather, I didn't know I was hit until after the air bags went off. The other victims in the accident did see him
    and they told me and the police about the vehicle.

    Later,
    Sean

    Oh yes, the park is great. This fall, I intend to drive all the way through the mountains to check out the fall foilage. :)
