 RH> Can you not enlarge the scores so you can see the staff better?

Impractical in most situations for varying reasons, first
among them being that most orchestra parts are on maximum
size paper to begin with, and enlarging the music would
make it really unwieldy, especially for page turns.

Nowadays one can make .pdf files out of music and show
them on a computer screen, which is theoretically as big
as you can afford, plus it makes page turns really easy.
The Borromeo Quartet does that.

 ML> at outdoor performences I've often even in my nondotage

 RH> OOPS! Good thing you're not a singer; you might have eaten a few bugs
 RH> inadvertantly.

Good thing for several reasons that I'm not a singer.

 ML> If it's one on a part, of course; more than that, picking
 ML> out one's own contribution is less desirable.
 RH> Especially if you're wrong--and loud.
 
We try to minimize that eventuality, but it happens.

 RH> I'd rather not think of it; your suggestion of a description well
 RH> conveys the idea. I don't buy much canned tuna these days because it
 RH> is too fishy smelling (and sometimes tasting).
 ML> Put it in cream sauce and use one can to feed the
 ML> entire neighborhood.
 RH> I'll just set it outside and all the feral/stray cats in the
 RH> neighborhood will chow down on it.

Bad idea, unless you want to have a slew of loud and
quarrelsome new friends.
 
 RH> Steve has talked from time to time about trying to make a chicken
 RH> scrapple but has never done so.
 ML> Could be done if you use the skin.
 RH> One of these days I may be reporting on an attempt made at the
 RH> project. 
 
Look for my scrapple recipe or Sacerdote's reworking of
it (available with fake backdates on many, many sites)
and adapt from that.

 RH> All the goodness of pork taste without having to deal with brains,

H'm. That sounds like a good slogan for something or another.
On the other hand, speculating on what it's a good slogan for
would put me over the edge and make me turn myself in to the
moderator.

Barbecued seared swordfish steak
cat: Australian, fish, main
Serves: 4

4 swordfish steaks, around 160-200 g each
5 small waxy potatoes (pre-boiled)
20 asparagus spears, blanched and refreshed
10 basil leaves
20 pitted kalamata olives
3 lemons

Barbecued seared swordfish steak on warm potato, Vasse asparagus
and olive oil salad

Grill already halved potatoes until golden brown and put on
a heated plate.

Add a little olive oil to BBQ and sear swordfish for 1 min per
side, seasoning it with sea salt and cracked pepper.

While fish is searing, put asparagus onto chargrill until marked.

Lay fish on potatoes topped off with asparagus, basil leaves and
halved olives.

Just before serving squeeze fresh lemon juice over fish.

This recipe is quick and easy to do on your outside BBQ. You
could substitute other oily fish varieties like herring, tailor,
and even tuna and salmon instead of swordfish.
