Hi Ruth,

-> -> married.  He was also on his own for a few months a couple of years

->  RH> That doesn't always mean anything.  These days guys often cook out
 RH> of
->  RH> box.

-> Remember, this was the early to mid 70s when not as much food was
-> convenience type.  Home microwaves weren't on the market yet and where
-> he was, there weren't any handy fast food places.

 RH> That would make a difference.  Survival cooking skills show up quickly
 RH> under those circumstances.

He did pretty good even fixing a turkey dinner (with appropriate sides)
for some friends.  He'd bought the fixin's intending that we do it
together when I came down for Thanksgiving break my senior year of
college but we never got around to it.  Had too short a time & squeezed
a lot into it, including an official marriage proposal (and acceptance).

-> Pecans are a known item, very easily recognised.

 RH> And rather quickly eaten, especially if you're me.

I'd rather have the macadamia nuts.
->  RH> I generally like kidney beans, but tomato chunks leave me rather
 RH> cold.

-> I try to go easy on the beans but go for the tomato big time.  I've
-> found, tho, by grabbing a Lact-Aid, the enzymes in that work as well as
-> Bean-O on the beans.  We always have the former around, handy for more
-> than just dairy products.

 RH> I don't keep it in the house, being more of a lactose junkie than
 RH> intolerant.

We do it in limited quantity, picking and chosing what we want to use
the lactose pills.  That's why we use soy milk.  Most of the time I've
no lactose problems but I try not to go overboard on it.


-> Only time it bothers me is if I have canker sores.  I wasn't overly fond
-> of pineapple as a kid but it grew on me.  The years in HI gave me a
-> chance to try (and enjoy) the low acid ones--nice and sweet.

 RH> I love them, but they don't love me back.  The canned kind is fine,
 RH> but the fresh tends to hurt after a while.

Have you tried the low acid ones?

->  RH> They're both from that part of the world.  They flavor things with
->  RH> rose petals in India too, so it didn't seem too strange to me.  The
->  RH> mint chunks would have gone nicely with a cup of green tea though,
->  RH> come to think

-> And you left them there.......................

 RH> There were none to leave.  The piranhas got 95% of it.  All that was
 RH> left was a Who Mouse-sized taste of the mint version.

Better luck next time.
