Hi Michael,

 ML> was 36 (predicted 30), and I wasn't cold at all - but then
 ML> I'd just scarfed down a pound of brisket.
 RH> How much fat was on it? It seems that fat, no matter where it's from,
 RH> is what's making you feel warmer.

 ML> That's probably a perception thing - fat really gives
 ML> warmth in proportion to the calories it provides - that,

If you think you're warm, you probably feel warm. If you think you're
cold, you'll start shivering. It's all in how the mind perceives the
temperature vs what it actually is.


 ML> I admit, is 80% more than carbs or protein. But as I
 ML> understand it, the popularly-described condition "meat
 ML> coma" comes from heat provided mostly by protein. I know
 ML> that a pound of lean beef will warm me up pretty fast,
 ML> perhaps almost as fast as a pound of fatty stuff. From
 ML> what people say, protein is a faster warmer-upper than
 ML> fat, but I don't actually think that's true either.

Probably not but those hat say so use it as a convenient excuse to eat
a lot of meat. (G)


 RH> I never paid that much attention, and don't really know, that much
 RH> about the military testing system. Some units Steve was in had
 RH> manditory 100% testing after 4 day week ends, others had random, here &
 RH> there, just to keep troops off guard.

 ML> 100% makes good sense except for the cost of it. Though
 ML> I have pretty liberal views about recreational drug use,
 ML> I think that anyone working in any responsible position
 ML> should be free of the effects while on the job.

Everybody should be free of the effects while on the job or doing
anything that might endanger themselves or other people. Same as any
other form of drugs.

 RH> OK, interesting. I never would have guessed that because marijuana
 RH> seemed like a logical source.
 ML> Yeah, as it's common enough and tasty enough, but wild
 ML> varieties don't contain enough stuff for anyone to go loco
 ML> from it.
 RH> Not even horses or cattle I guess.

 ML> Though they're surprisingly susceptible to some things, their
 ML> large size means that (mostly) an equal amount of stuff won't
 ML> mess with them as much as it does with us.

Yes, we are rather puny compared to the bulk of a horse or cow. OTOH,
some folks make horses and cows look puny. (G)

 ML> Chicken Chow Chow
 ML> categories: Nepal, poultry, main
 ML> Yield: 1 batch

Looks better than the hospital chicken I had today. It was given a fancy
name, something like Chicken Sorrentino--tasted like somebody had dumped
a fair amount of liquid smoke into the pan of (probably psuedo grilled)
chicken with red & green bell pepper slices and some kind of sauce. The
oven roasted veggies I took with it could have been cooked a bit longer
as they were a bit too firm and were liberally seasoned with oregano.
But, I was there to keep Steve company, not to be a critic of their
dining facility.
