=================
 ML> It's not open. I checked, as I needed lunch today.
 GJ> Any sign as to when it will open?

Checked in a more expeditious manner - called info to see
if there was a telephone listing, and there wasn't.

 GJ> It would be interesting to see what sort of people are running it.

I would guess South Americans, same as the ones who
run most of the chicken places around here, which have
names such as "El Pollo Rico" and "Crisp and Juicy."

 ML> He eventually did cook up the ground beef, adding garlic, pepper

I don't know. But after the sampling, I in fact got beyond a
bit queasy and spent an inordinate amount of time on the throne,
of which I have a private one off the bedroom.

That's been done. Back when he was still seeing the one whom I thought
best for him (this being maybe a dozen years ago) the shrinker decided
to get me involved and in fact said that Jonathan was definitely a
danger to himself and possibly others, so I relayed this to his legal
guardians (i.e. parents), and they did nothing, in fact forcing him to
terminate his therapy, and the only awful thing that happened was that
he went places in his head from which I suspect there is no going back.

 ML> That sounds as though it could produce a very livable city,
 ML> though.
 GJ> Livable, but as it is a recent, planned city, not as interesting as
 GJ> older cities which have just developed in a more random manner.
 GJ> Boring!

Worst of all worlds - boring, easy to get lost in, and full
of politicians.

      Title: Pearson's Food for the Gods
 Categories: Desserts
   Servings:  6

      1 c  Dates; chopped
      1 c  Walnuts; broken
    3/4 c  Sugar
      1 ts Baking powder
      1 tb Flour
      1 ts Flour; opt, see note
      2    Eggs; separated
           Whipped cream

  This very sweet dessert was a favorite of former Canadian Prime Minister
  and Nobel Prize winner, Lester "Mike" Pearson. "Perhaps for sound political
  reasons, no member of the household staff (of the Prime Minister's
  residence) can remember any specific occasion on which it was served."

  Anne' s note: I chopped the dates in a food processor with the 1 Tbsp of
  flour (to prevent stickiness) and then added 1 tsp of flour to the mixture.

  Blend the ingredients (except the eggs) lightly with a fork. Add unbeaten
  egg yolks and stir lightly. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour in
  buttered baking dish and set in a larger pan partially filled with hot
  water. Bake at 325F until it becomes light brown (20-25 minutes). Serve
  cold with whipped cream. SERVES: 6
