Still really tired a lot of the time, and this is a week
later. I am afraid that I've fallen into a hole that it
may take a long time to claw my way out of.

They would make the point that sometimes the crisis occurs
too fast for anyone but a machine to respond; and I would
say, not in my lifetime ... .

My issue is that it's a Humpty-Dumptyoid approach to
the language, which emphasizes the solipsistic view
that a word means wnat I want it to mean, rather than
emphasizing the communicative aspect, where words have
meaning by precedent (the lexicon) and otherwise by
mutual agreement.

One of the young geniuses tried to lecture me that
the two excretory systems were totally separate, and
I pointed out that though their normal functions did
not overlap much, in non-average cases, such as
overload, there could easily be slopover between the
two. He had the good grace to come back and admit
that that was true.

 NB>> Especially at your home base.  :)
 ML> Well, yeah, word may spread quickly, but it doesn't

 NB> Probably not to the whole hospital, yet...

The records are all out there for everyone to see; if
anyone cared to scroll down through the whole mess.

Buffalo Napoleon
Categories: starter, salad, game, Texas, not a Napoleon
Serves: 4

h - For the marinade
1 Tb soy sauce
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
1 oz chopped thyme
2 Tb olive oil
h - For the meat
12 oz buffalo tenderloin
h - For the salad dressing
Reserved marinade
1 Tb honey
1 ts sherry vinegar
1 ts diced ginger
h - For the salad
5 oz arugula
2 oz carrots, sliced thin
2 oz haricot verts
1 pear, sliced thin
1 lb celeria (celery root) chips, fried and salted
h - For the vinaigrette
1 pomegranate (crush seeds through strainer to collect juice)
1 Tb sherry vinegar
1 Tb olive oil
1 Tb canola oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all marinade ingredients.

Tie meat tightly with string and marinate for 30 min.
Remove meat from marinade. (Reserve marinade for
salad dressing preparation, see below.) In a nonstick
pan, sear meat on all sides. Let meat cool completely.
Wrap in plastic film. Freeze. When meat is frozen
through, cut it into 1/2" slices. Lay each slice flat
on oiled parchment paper.

Heat reserved marinade to boiling. Add honey, sherry
vinegar, and diced ginger. Set aside to cool.

Place three slices of meat in a ring on plate. Layer
with salad then celery chips. Repeat. Garnish with
chevril.

M's note: vinaigrette? Maybe a dotty garnish or something?
