To be honest, I don't remember if the amounts were given for normal
serving size or for a set weight amount... just the breakdowns of
various nutrients... not the same as the nutrition info on the
packages...

  -> Another good reason to just have cats...  ;) 
 RH>> Unless you have to pill one.  Then you want the dog.
 NB>> Richard is pretty good at pilling cats...  Holds them securely,
 NB>> presses at the jaw hinge, tosses in the pill, holds the mouth shut and
 NB>> gently strokes the throat to induce swallowing...  He has the touch...
 NB>> usually works... ;)
 ML> Jupiter has a bowel problem that is treated with oral
 ML> medication. During the time that Annie was out of town,
 ML> Kathy the housekeeper/friend did the pill duty, even
 ML> when I was there (I'm very leery of the job), and when
 ML> I asked her to demonstrate, saying (truthfully) that I
 ML> couldn't get it right, she smugly tossed the medication
 ML> in, clamped the mouth shut, and Jupiter immediately
 ML> bounded down ... and tossed the pill right up. H'm.

She didn't do the make sure he swallowed it part...  ;)  That's usually
the part that gets missed... ;)

 ML> Perhaps it's no wonder that he was leaving gifts on the
 ML> rug left and right.

Probably both ends...?  Yeah... the meds weren't there long enough to do
any good...  ;(   But as you said, he doesn't like being held... I'd've
left it to Kathy to do, too..  :)

 RH>> I don't think the ice cream has much of a smell unless you melt it.
 NB>> I do see durian ice cream (and other frozen durian products) regularly
 NB>> at the Asian markets here... some day I just might give one a try...
 ML> I don't think the ice cream has much real durian unless
 ML> you add it. 

I've not carefully read ingredients yet, so dunno...  you may be
right... 

 ML> There's a durian extract you can get at the Asian grocery
 ML> (many years ago Hap was inordinately pleased to show me
 ML> that the Vietnamese market in Tacoma had such exotics as
 ML> durian extract and was slightly chagrined and perhaps
 ML> incredulous that I said I could get it all sorts of places
 ML> out east - one of the myths about this country is that it
 ML> gets more Asian as it gets more Pacific), and

One easily forgets about the NYC and Philly Chinatowns... or Toronto,
for that matter... ;)  Or how easy it is for people to settle all sorts
of places...  :)  Rochester is a hotbed of Asians... (also Hispanics and
just about anything else, including Caucasian...[g]) 

 ML> I'm betting that's what durian ice cream is usually made with.

Could be.  Does the extract give a true durian flavor...?
