===================
Ruth Haffly Said to Dave Drum about Water Water

RH> RH> loved it but I hated it, especially on the interstate. Those
RH> RH> semi rigs had a way of making me feel I was in a tin can.

RH>  DD> That's because you were. Bow wave of air off a semi hits your
RH>  DD> little car and you change lanes without moving the steering
RH>  DD> wheel. Whether you wanted to or no.

RH> Plus the fact that they're so tall; makes you feel like a mouse next
RH> to an elephant.

Think how the semi-driver feels trying to keep track of all those 
buzzing little gadgets so he doesn't squish one as they whiz past at 
high rates of fuel consumption, bobbing and weaving.

RH> RH>  DD> My ideal econo-box would be a Mini-Cooper. Nicely roomy,
RH> RH>  DD> well built (BMW does them), sporty and 38 MPG. Also fairly
RH> RH>  DD> pricey. A

RH> RH> I like something that gives a bit more sense of room around me.
RH> RH> Besides, getting in and out of small cars is more of a pain the
RH> RH> older I get.

RH>  DD> The Mini is pretty room ... being a box with not much to take
RH>  DD> up interior space.

RH> At least it's not as ugly as the Cube or the Scion xB. (G)

Probably ought to toss the KIA Soul in there. The Nissan Cube looks like 
it was designed by Andy Warhol on an LSD trip. The Scion reminds me of 
the troop carriers in a Japanese monster (Godzilla) flick - hauling the 
doomed soldiers to their fate. They are all functional, roomy, and do 
what they were designed to do -- make money for the parent company.

RH> RH>  DD>       Title: Joe Cooper's Chilli
RH> RH>  DD>  Categories: Beef, Stews, Chilli, Chilies, Chocolate
RH> RH>  DD>       Yield: 8 servings

RH> RH> Hmmm, looks interesting. Joe uses a lot more ingredients than I
RH> RH> do. (G) Is he one of your cook off competitors?

RH>  DD> No, since I was talking about a Mini-Cooper car I searched the
RH>  DD> recipesource database for recipes with "cooper" in the title.
RH>  DD> And came up with a not-too-bad looking recipe. Although I'd
RH>  DD> likely use more chocolate than Joe - if using it. And probably
RH>  DD> a pinch of cinnamon to round out the flavours and marry things
RH>  DD> together ... but, not enough to taste in and of itself.

RH> OK, you were trying to do a Burton and came up with a decent recipe
RH> as a side note.

I *ALWAYS* "do a Burton" in my replies. Sometimes it's a challenge and 
sometimes the link is subtle. And sometime I manage a double or treble 
"Burton". It adds a layer of interest (and challenge) to the process for 
me.

RH>  DD>       Title: Mini Monte Cristo Sandwiches
RH>  DD>  Categories: Pork, Cheese, Appetizers, Sandwiches
RH>  DD>       Yield: 4 servings

RH> I'll let you keep this one; the only things that looked decent were
RH> the ham & cheese. I'd rather have them on whole wheat or rye bread.

I like Monte Cristo sarnies made with Texas Toast, and with the 
ingredients listed - and the more usual sliced turkey breast and bacon 
along with the ham and Emmenthaler cheese.

Basically it is just a regular sammich made with French Toast. Remember, 
always, to serve them with plenty of napkins as the fired bread makes 
the fingers greasy.  Bv)=
