============================
*** Quoting JIM WELLER from a message to CAROL SHENKENBERGER ***

JW> I suspected you were in Korea. ("USS Essex" is one of the keywords in
JW> personalized Google News which tracks a lot of newspapers including
JW> Stars and Stripes. There was an article about ferrying a bunch of
JW> marines over to some excerise there.)

 CS> Now, Pohang is not the
 CS> capital nor is it exactly a place people come to for a vacation

JW> Google says it famous for its big steel mill! [G] It also mentioned ni
JW> beaches nearby.

Grin!  Armpit!  No beaches of any note really.  Seriosly cool people with lots
of friendship possible.  The pier is a metal mountain of refuse and it smells
so bad, 3 people alerted a toxic alert thinking we had a CHT alert (CHT,
pronounce it and thats what it carries in the CHT tanks and pipes. That also
carries possible toxic gas which can be deadly in an enclosed place like on a
ship).

You get used to the smell fast.  I didnt notice it at all after 2 days and not
that much after the first day.


 CS> FOOD.  Like, extremely fun and as long as you arent a picky eater,
 CS> something will suit you well.  My liberty buddy this time was Sam and
 CS> he's totally into 'gee lets try it and share' and not at all picky.

JW> He sounds like a good guy to explore with.

Yeah!  The good thing is *I* get to arrange his duty section so put him in mine
for now <g>.  That means he's always off when I am.

JW> You really jumped in. Even Burt is taking the odd nibble. He's doing
JW> Mexican now and eating stuffed poblanos with hot sauce. There are no
JW> wuzzes left. You have all been converted!

I gotta find a recipe for Glen's oft mentioned dip.  I have a feeling it is the
same thing, his sambal.  I am still very careful as i do not (umm) 'process'
the raw peppers right.  I also object to the uneven heat level of a milkd bite
then a sudden 'ohgmyghodrunforthedoorandgetoutamyway' whilst I run for the
spigot in the yard.  Nope.  Not me!

But then, I've never been a 'hot' wimp.  Wasabi threads my most early postings
and I've been using real Wasabi, not ersatz horseradish.

Those of you silly folks who want hot just to see how hot you can stand it,
drive me bonkers!  I insist it be there for the flavor the pepper or other
item inputs.  Has to match or it wastes my time taste testing!

 CS> carcasses because he was intrigued.

JW> Yep. He has a sense of adventure all right.

Hehe not a problem!  He hasnt progressed yet to hot fried dried squid but he
said it is 'ok' with hot sauce when rather drunk.  Gotta try that as havent
been drunk yet when I ate it (grin).
