Hi Michael,

 RH> may be seeing some new names for my meds soon.

 ML> It's an interesting economic setup - the companies make their pile
 ML> while they can, and meanwhile they work on derivatives of their
 ML> original patent, hoping that their chemists can come up with
 ML> something that can convey a saleable benefit - and in the absence
 ML> of this, they have the lines going, so why not make the generic
 ML> more efficiently than the poachers. I'm not sure I'd want to be
 ML> a drug company executive - but they appear to be doing pretty well.

And as we in the Baby Boomer generation age, there will be more and more
money spent on drugs. Also, as research finds ways to if not cure, at
least arrest some of our medical problems with pharmacutical answers,
there will always be a major drug industry.  One of my friends has had
several cycles of Synvisc in her knees, prolonging the life of them
until they decide she's too far gone for that and will benefit more from
an artifical knee joint.


 ML> I can't see the flavor being prettied up by cayenne, and I like
 ML> cayenne!
 RH> Probably for the flavor that the two, mixed together seem to have.
 RH> Sort of like the discussion Dave S. and Jim had about the spicy/hot
 RH> bacon.

 ML> I don't believe them, either!


But, it's something to chew over when you're chewing the fat. (G)


 ML> Raw cucumber relish
 ML> Joy of Cooking 1943 edition; adapted
 ML> cat: relish
 ML> yield: 1 batch


Something for all the hot weather you've been having?
