=====================
Bonsoir Michael!!


->  -> The formerly stodgy menu has been updated, perhaps to reflect that
->  -> the average faculty member at this institution was born about the
->  -> time I graduated from it.
->  HN> Harvard stodgy? I shan't believe that!!
-> 
-> That's what the word is out on the street. I never paid reputations
-> any heed; anyhow, I prefer the stodgy menu. Slab o protein sure
-> beats vegetarian fluids (except beverages, of course) any day.
->
Fermented beverages I predict!!
 
->  -> As I was under orders to ingest as much fluid as possible before
->  -> my CAT scan, I had soup and beer followed by soup, then beer.
->  HN> Should perhaps have gotten another beer
->  HN> in there before the first soup!!
-> 
-> A good idea, one I would have implemented if I had
-> thought about it.
->
Beer, soup, Beer, bad soup Beer! ...a 
pattern you could live with!
 
->  -> We both started with the vegan carrot ginger soup, which was
->  -> tasty enough though extremely sweet, with a good balance
->  -> between strong ginger and carrotty flavors.
->  HN> Vegan...what sort of stock base then?
->  HN> Veggie? I'm used to that soup with a 
->  HN> dairy base which is quite nice.
-> 
-> It was much better for me than dairy. Carrot-celery stock,
-> I should think.
->
Yeah, it'd be easier on your system...I'd
have chosen dairy if I had the choice.
 
->  -> the pipe through which it was drawn was infected with Brett or
->  -> something.
->  HN> Don't know what a Brett is but 
->  HN> my guess is it's not a good infection?
-> 
-> It's a stenchy kind of infection that produces cheesy,
-> leathery, off flavors.
->
I looked it up...wild yeasties!
 
->  -> The other soup was billed as chicken tortilla - turned out to
->  -> be chicken broth with loads of vegetables, mostly carrot, with
->  -> one (1) half-inch cube of chicken and a handful of soft
->  -> tortilla strips that either floated and were semi-soggy or were
->  -> underwater and totally soggy. Not unpalatable, just really
->  -> inexpertly done.
->  HN> Sounds pretty close to vegan as well! (g)
-> 
-> Close to vegan: that's like being close to a rock.
->
One tiny chicky bit is all that 
kept it from being vegan it seems!
Unless it was a good chicken stock
which I'd have been surprised if it were.
 
->  -> A whole wheat roll was crusty with big grains; pretty tasty.
->  HN> And you being not a bread lover that's saying something!
-> 
-> I had to get something to eat!
->
We does what we gots to at times!
 
->  HN> My last A1C was 6.1 which is
->  HN> much better than expected
-> 
-> Well, my A1C is 12, but for me, that's par for the course.
->
H*ly Cr&p!! what are your fasting
numbers in the morning???
 
->  -=> Hap Newsom said to Ruth Haffly <=-
-> 
->  HN> Actually she came home feeling pretty 
->  HN> good today so we went to one of
->  HN> her favorite places for an late 
->  HN> lunch and she had one of her
->  HN> favorite burgers...now we're home
->  HN> and probably will have a very light
->  HN> (if any) dinner and a bit of chocolate.
-> 
-> The Ram! Yay.
->
