Hi Michael,

 ML> I agree: but did you see the subsequent chicken scrapple recipe I
 ML> posted? Talk about bland.
 RH> Very much so!  But, some people like that kind of eating.  My parents,
 RH> for 2. (G)

 ML> The claim has been made that supertasters like bland food ...
 ML> but all the tested supertasters I know like the spicier the
 ML> better. One of those apparent paradoxes.

Or an urban myth. BTW, this is my first time back on Fido in a week.  I
had a Friday late afternoon into evening (9pm), then 9-6 on Saturday
class.  After extensive review, I did the test yesterday.  Between
times, I've been working on a book review for the other class, due next
Thursday.  Steve has been equally busy but on Friday night, he brought
me supper.  He heated some left over spaghetti, sauce and one meat ball
in a casserole dish and had some grated cheese in a small side
container.  He'd also stopped at the Hardee's in town after walking me
to class and got a couple of side salads, one for his supper and one
included with mine.  On Saturday I just took a sandwich as we were going
out to celebrate our anniversary (a day early) after class.

 ML> Learn a lesson. The money you save by letting the thing expire and
 ML> not reapplying until you need to use one may well not be worth the
 ML> aggravation.
 RH> Yes, but the last one (2, actually) were no fee government issued for
 RH> our time in Germany.

 ML> Ah. Should have renewed the last time there was a possibility
 ML> you'd be sent abroad.

Uncle Sam would have paid for one had we gone back overseas on
assignment.  Over the years we talked about getting a civilian passport
for me but just never got around to it.  We half thought that we would
have one more assignment in Europe; instead, Steve went to Korea.  The
girls and I could have gone (and gotten new passports) but we decided 9a
number of reasons involved) to have Steve just Steve go for a year.


 ML> I'm considering going for a card, because the real thing is
 RH> Good idea.  What about a state ID card like I got from the NC DMV when

 ML> I had a Mass. one but lost it last year (I think someone
 ML> in a beer bar didn't give it back) - it didn't expire, though
 ML> it was some 30 years old. It had an address on it that became
 ML> inactive some 15 years ago, and I'm guessing it got mailed to
 ML> that address, whose current tenants probably have no idea who
 ML> I am.

Sigh! I presume you're too itinerant now to consider one.  You could use
your brother's address I guess, if you consider it your home of record
for taxes, etc.  You would need proof (a utility  bill coming in your
name for example) to show you lived there.


 ML> Chorizo Homemade Sausage
 ML> cat: sausage
 ML> Yield: 6 servings

Thanks; it looks so much better than what I read on the wrapper of the
stuff in stores.  I might give it a try some time.
