Hi Michael,

 ML> But was unaware that they lacked hard disks, which is
 ML> right now for me the interesting point.
 RH> I thought you were aware of that; I think we'd discussed it another
 RH> time when your (then) current sustem was acting up.

 ML> That kind of technical talk is in one ear and out the other,
 ML> sorry. Even if it has practical importance to me I tend to
 ML> forget it.

I'm not as "up" on computers as a lot of folks but can talk basics with
some of them. Steve is the pro around here. We bought some new
embroidery software a couple of weeks ago; last night I picked up the
manual to see if I could understand it. Some I could, most I couldn't.
(G) But, I do use the machines and probably know a lot more about them
than I think I do.


 ML>   One caveat--the
 RH> keyboard isn't quite standard size so you may have trouble hitting 2
 RH> side by side keys.

 ML> I gaveb't ysed a stamdrd jetboatd in a lomb time.

No problem for you then. I like the smaller keyboard because I've got
smaller hands/fingers and son't have the stretch I would have on a
standard sized one.


 ML> Recently I made Billy a Philly cheese steak, heavy on
 ML> the meat, and it spiked his numbers way beyond what I'd
 ML> have expected (the roll was small). I've pretty much
 ML> given up trying to figure it out. Anyhow, most of the
 RH> You must have had something that had hidden sugars in it. Did you use
 RH> any sort of sauce that may have had sugar? Otherwise, what kind of
 RH> cheese did you use; real cheese has fewer carbs than cheezoids.

 ML> We thought that, so for the second try, we used provolone
 ML> instead of the canonic Cheez Whiz, to the same effect.

 RH> Another factor to consider is the roll; 15 grams of any bread is 15
 RH> carbs and a small but dense bread may be heavier in carbs than a
 RH> larger, lighter one. Just giving you some ideas to consider.

 ML> That's most likely. Still, the amount of carb was objectively
 ML> pretty small, and the spike was objectively very large. I
 ML> suppose we could have forestalled the blood sugar issue by
 ML> serving some fibrous material (lettuce, Kleenex, etc.) alongside.

Could have; I was told to have some protein with the carbs to avoid
spikes. But, you had the protein in the meat & cheese. BTW, had a
reading of 59 this morning--that is getting too low. Had some cereal,
half a banana and a tbsp of raisins for breakfast; that was about 48
carbs.

 ML> Doce de Abobora (Squash Candy)
 ML> cat: Mexican, sweet
 RH> Not so much in techinque or probably taste but when I saw this, I
 RH> thought about the cactus candy we saw all over the tourist trap places
 RH> in AZ. We tried some when we first moved there--nothing specical--and
 RH> most likely made with cactus syrup & pectin.

 ML> I've had that; it's nasty. As the cactus fruit has little
 ML> flavor of its own, they add almond and other stuff, making
 ML> it taste like maraschino cherries, which are tolerable in
 ML> context but an abomination otherwise.

I don't like maraschino cherries so they're an abomination under any
context.


 ML> Vegetable ragout with chervil
 ML> cat: celebrity, tragic
 ML> serves 4

So what's the tragedy here?
