 ML>> where to my chagrin they actually counted ice
 ML>> against the water allowance. Awful.
 NB>> That IS awful... that's when they use those nasty sponge swabs dipped
 NB>> in water, swipe it around the inside of your mouth and tell you not to
 NB>> swallow...

 ML> The more extreme health care professionals - the
 ML> physicians mostly - wanted to count IV fluids as well,
 ML> which would have made me negative from the getgo.

The worst part being that they really didn't know what was keeping the
fluid retained, they were only guessing...  Of course, they withhold IV
fluids from CHF patients as part of the treatment, at least initially...

 ML> No wonder I checked myself out and left not noticing that
 ML> I still had the IV stuck in my arm, so I walked down
 ML> the street with it trailing - must have been a sight
 ML> and a half. Didn't notice until the next day.

Fortunately, it's not difficult to remove them... just takes having a
bit of coordination and a gauze or cotton ball to put pressure on to
stop the bleed...

 ML>> Chicken Jello salad
 ML>> categories: weird, poultry, brunch, main
 NB>> Looks like something you'd see served at some ladies' function brunch,
 NB>> to be sure...  I trust that the chicken breasts would be chopped down
 NB>> into at least bite-size chunks....  I'd probably see it on the buffet

 ML> I'm glad I've never been to a ladies' function brunch, then.

Lots of them are imminently missable... ;)

 NB>> table and say "how pretty" (if it had at least been laid out nicely)
 NB>> and then give it a pass...  :)  Unless it had been made by my very
 NB>> best friend, and then I'd take a "no-thank-you" portion...  ;)

 ML> Occasionally that is a good strategy. Problem is that
 ML> a "no-thank-you" portion is almost as much of a slam as
 ML> no serving at all.

If that is the sole main offering, agreed (then I'd have to take a
normal portion)...  But usually there are at least 3 or 4, and one
wouldn't be expected to have large portions of all of them...  :)

 ML> Cranachan
 ML> categories: Scots, dessert, odd
 ML> servings: 2
 ML> 1 oz oatmeal
 ML> 1 c heavy cream
 ML> 2 Tb vanilla sugar or to taste
 ML> Toast oatmeal in a dry pan.
 ML> Whip cream until half whipped. Add sugar and whip just a
 ML> bit more. Fold in oatmeal.

 ML> This may look weird, but it is not much different from
 ML> ice cream with granola.
 ML> Serve by itself or with fresh berries.

Or yogurt with granola, or pudding with a "crisp" topping... :)
