Hi Michael,

 ML> accountable (and they may in fact have just bathed).
 RH> Makes you wonder why they don't stay sick all the time but I guess
 RH> their intestinal/immune systems adapt to the local water. OTOH, we
 RH> would have problems.

 ML> Every place has its indigenous microbes. Someone from
 ML> Mexico would likely have trouble the first time s/he
 ML> encountered Chicago or New York tap water.

And we were told not to drink tap water in Mexico. Even in the States,
we can have bad reactions to water outside of where we live but since
it's generally better overall, we adapt quickly.


 ML> Heh, perhaps true, but my frighten threshold is pretty high.
 RH> Rocky Horror Picture Show or Texas Chainsaw Massacre? (G)

 ML> I'm talking real phenomena and probably should exclude the
 ML> threat of physical mayhem (though I've stood up to dogs trying
 ML> to tear my arms off and people threatening to beat me to death).
 ML> I have no frame of reference as it were regarding your cultural
 ML> reference, never having seen either of those films nor planning
 ML> to do so. I'd imagine from the title of the latter that there
 ML> is a depiction of threats of violence, so I might get pretty
 ML> darned upset from it.

I've not seen either, nor do I want to see either one. The first is a
very campy spoof on horror movies; the second, lots of blood and gore.
I'm not a horror movie (or book, no Stephen King books for me) fan but
have read descriptions of both movies. I just thought of them as 2
widely differing types of fright.

 ML> WHOLE DRIED GREEN PEA SOUP:

 ML> INGREDIENTS:

 ML> 1     3 Lb.    (Approx.) beef chuck roast (If it comes with a bone,
 ML> leave                it in.) Back Ribs may be substituted in lieu of
 ML> the roast. 1     tsp      Johnny's Seasoning Salt, or a similar
 ML> seasoning salt
 ML> 1     onion    large size, chopped to medium sized pieces
 ML> 3              stalks celery, chopped to medium sized pieces
 ML> 2              cloves garlic, chopped fine
 ML> 4    sprigs    fresh parsley, or to taste (Dry may be substituted)
 ML> 2              bay leaves
 ML> 15   or so     peppercorns, or to taste (Don't remove from mouth when
 ML>                eating soup, rather chew them up at the same time)
 ML>                salt to taste

I'll add carrots but not celery as a general rule, onions, and sometimes
potatoes. I've also tossed in some tomato sauce as part of the liquid,
not bad tasting overall.
