Yeah, you can see my ambivalence - horrified
fascination I guess it might be. Or a hope against
hope that the cut labeled "steak" is not what I think
it is, because I prefer that the store be telling
some kind of functional truth.

I'd be curious to be around for your actual reaction to it... ;) Maybe
when (eventually) you get here for another visit, we can search it
out... ;)

Chances are it would be an instantaneous "how
misleading, no way is that a steak."

For sure. It's more a feel thing than
anything else.

Yup, that's what I learned... :)

Or you can let it rise an extra time or two.

If convenient... done that a time or two, also...

If time is of the essence, you'd better have your
stuff together.

Part of why I'm not baking any more... ;)

And I'm just starting to get back to that
kind of thing.

I'm not going to generate an error just to
be able to quote it back to you.

No need.... :)

Heh. I tried to duplicate the situation just now and
was unable to do so.

Murphy at work again... ;)

Murphy makes the world go 'round.

And you're a real cook... (G) Even though it does take more time, I'm usually using the fresh garlic and onions nowadays, besides.... :)

The dried have some uses; it's just that most
lazy people use dried where fresh are called for.

Or uninformed people.... ;)

The uninformed will make that mistake once.
The lazy will do it a hundred times.

... A leading authority is someone who has guessed right more than once.

An ordinary authority is someone who has guessed right once.

Probably. :)

Try a thousand times, win the lottery once, you're
alwys a winner. In others' eyes anywy.

... Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience. - Ben Franklin

Also attributed to Buffon. In either case, as with
Edison's "one percent insipration and 99 percent
perspiration," it's a statement that can be made only
by those whose altitude of thinking gainsay it.

I don't have that much of it any more either but would rather go with the diet to help keep my sugar intake in line.

Maybe if you don't get it much it wouldn't be a problem, but I've read
(and observed with MJ) that often the artifical sweeteners that are put
in diet sodas mess with the blood sugar as badly as real sugar... at
least, after a while....

Has anyone studied whether more "natural" artificial
sweeteners cause the same problem? If all sweeteners
do, that's a pretty strong indication that it's the
brain's reaction to sweetness more than the body's
reaction to carbohydrates.
