Hi Michael,

 ML> Of course, but I believe that failure to try is a bit of
 ML> a crime in itself.
 RH> Most people do give life some sort of try; how successful they are
 RH> varies greatly.

 ML> Failure to succeed is no crime. Failure to try is bad.


There are those that do spend a lifetime trying their best to not
succeed in anything but not succeeding.  Some are rather successful at
it too.


 RH> Well, hopefully your immune system has cleared up the problem by now.
 RH> Be glad you don't play a brass or wood wind instrument. (G)
 ML> Oh, you don't know what crud those blowhards get, and they
 ML> still continue to perform.
 RH> Probably just as well I don't know.

 ML> I just thought of a neat Ph.D. project - take and culture
 ML> swabs of musical instruments and correlate them with the
 ML> illnesses that musicians get. I bet that the string players
 ML> who sit right in front of the woodwind section get more
 ML> colds than the woodwind players get!

It would not be a project I'd want to take on.  In some respects, it's
almost a "given" what sorts of results you would get.  But, there are
those variables...............


 ML> Oh, I didn't have time for lunch or dinner yesterday and ended
 ML> up going out with some musicians after my rehearsal - had 5
 ML> slices of pizza at 10 pm, having forgotten my pills. Held it
 ML> until I got home an hour and half later. Speaking of crud.
 ML> The effects were surprisingly mild, and after one substantial
 ML> explosion, mostly gaseous, all was well.


Very good, in that with no pills, you fared as well as you did.  You
don't keep a stash of pills squirreled away for such times?  I don't go
out without my albuterol; having made that mistake once in my life time,
I have no wish to repeat it.

 ML> There we differ.
 RH> I like the taste of some fried foods but I get tired of too much at
 RH> any one sitting.

 ML> I like the taste of some vegetables, but I get tired of too
 ML> much at any one sitting.

Too much of most anything at one sitting can tire you of it. Even things
like strawberries.  Chocolate, OTOH, probably not. (G)

 ML>  We went to Red Robin the other night; my grilled
 RH> chicken sandwich had a bit too much mayo so the fillings were sliding
 RH> all over the place.  It came with steak fries (I could have subbed a
 RH> salad but had most of the salad ingredients on my sandwich.),

 ML> Mayo at all is horrid, unless it's made by competent hands
 ML> and not those Hellmann's/Best Foods or Kraft poisoners.

Around here, it's Dukes.  That's what's in my fridge.


 RH> supposedly an unlimited amount.  Steve and I agreed that one serving
 RH> was enough, bordering on too much.  Probably a football player or
 RH> teenage boy would have gone back for more. (G)

 ML> One of the things that makes me exceedingly leery of Red Robin
 ML> is the unlimited potato thing. Those of us who go to burger
 ML> places for protein do not cotton to subsidizing the starch
 ML> hunger of football players and teenage boys.

We'd had a stretch of super busy days, unpacking, etc and got bummed out
by a doctor's appointment the day before.  It was just a chance to relax
a bit and let the unpacking slide.


 ML> Papeton d'aubergines
 ML> cat: vegetables
 ML> servings: 4

Looks good; I like (most) veggies.
