Hi Michael,

 RH> Out of concern for my immune system, I do't eat raw oysters.

 ML> That's probably the wisest thing, given your health fragility.
 ML> As for me, I've probably seen every Hep virus and Vibrio that
 ML> ever was born, so I do not fear so much.

And I'd rather not take the risk of contracting any at this stage of my
life.

 RH> quite a few steamed ones in the past few months tho. (G)  The usual
 RH> drink with them has been sweet tea for me, unsweet for Steve.

 ML> Also, the time-honored remedy for a bad 'un is a swig of the
 ML> rawest, roughest wine you can find, something that won't work
 ML> for you.

No, that doesn't sound appealing either.


 ML> and surprise, the best thing was "cheesy mashed potatoes," which
 ML> was like the inside of a twice-baked, i.e., mashed with an almost
 ML> equal proportion of sharp Cheddar.
 RH> Sounds yummy, especially if the cheese was a good one.

 ML> It was actually quite tolerable, except my gut doesn't approve
 ML> of such.


I know-and that's the sort of thing I could eat and not fear any
repercussion afterward.


 ML> My point was rather that two years of aging had performed no
 ML> magic on the supposedly sharp Cracker Barrel.
 RH> That'll teach you to leave cheese around for 2 years.  It wouldn't
 RH> last that long in our house.

 ML> Huh, that sounds like an Other Ruth sort of response. As far as I


I can have a bit of "sass" myself, tho it's usually not evident in a
written forum like this.

 ML> could tell, the 2-year aging didn't hurt it, just didn't help
 ML> it much.

Well, at least you didn't fall over dead; that's one point in its favor.


 ML> Divine Decadence Dark Cacao Nectar
 ML> cat: raw, beverage
 ML> serves: 2

 ML> Process all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Chill
 ML> 1-2 hr before serving.

 ML> 2004 International Festival of Raw & Living Foods

 ML> [M wonders: how is it better to eat something alive than to
 ML> have mercifully killed it first?]

Don't know; I don't want food that talks back to me.


 ML>    I'm making eggplant parmesain for supper; one
 RH> of the ladies in our Sunday School class gave us an eggplant on Sunday.
 RH> Fresh blueberry cobbler for dessert.

 ML> Actually sounds a bit heavy for me in this weather: I'd do just
 ML> the blueberries, maybe a touch of sugar and dash of cream.

It really wasn't that heavy; I baked it vs frying.  We both had a small
portion with a small portion of pasta on the side.  The cobbler was
topped with vanilla ice cream. (G)
