Ärende: too much on plate 392
=============================
Hi Michael,

 RH> I suspect my older brother ate like that, or from the frozen,
 RH> nuke-able foods. Either one, I understand his kitchen was similar to
 RH> one at your brother's. I never saw it but my younger brother said it
 RH> was a hazardous waste zone.

 ML> That sounds reasonably similar - and nothing gets washed
 ML> until every pot, pan, plate, and glass has been used up.

Does he switch to disposable plates, etc until you come and do a wash up
or does he have a dishwasher?

 ML> I once threatened to get rid of all but one of every
 ML> implement and utensil, and the kid thought that inordinately
 ML> funny. I didn't find it so.

He might just have eaten off of the one, washed up or not.

 ML> I'm there I eat mostly snacks kiped from the airplane
 ML> and then get out of there before malnutrition sets in.
 RH> Eating out for the occaisonal decent meal while in the area?

 ML> But on weekends especially the public trans doesn't
 ML> run after 7 or 8 pm, so that's out.

No possibility of keeping a small fridge/microwave in your bedroom, I
presume. The size they put into motel rooms would let you keep a few
things on hand. Is the house convenient to a big enough grocery store
that has a hot meal bar or deli in it? You could get something there to
carry thru without having to eat airplane snacks.

 ML> moved their operations abroad, where US laws cannot
 ML> reach (in an enforcement sense). In general, it's
 ML> a leap between having the laws on the books and
 ML> having a way to enforce them.
 RH> Sigh! Don't need any more laws, just better enforcement of ones on the
 RH> books.

 ML> But when they move - even in a purely cyber way - to some
 ML> of these little two-bit countries, enforcement becomes
 ML> impossible. After all, the scammers are improving the
 ML> local economy (employment, fee payment, etc.) even as
 ML> they wreak havoc with ours.

Newest scam out is calling you, saying "we've tried and tried calling
you but couldn't reach you", then telling you, you missed jury duty.
Then they ask for a good sized "fine", to be paid by a green dot card
bought at Wal-Mart. Scam from the word "go"!

 ML>       Title: Home-Cooked Carnitas - Carnitas Caseras
 RH> I'm going to try them, but don't know just when. I'll check some of my
 RH> Mexican cook books once I get them unboxed & shelved.

 ML> I think you'll find a bunch of variations among them.

Probably so. We're in the new house but it's going to take a while
before I get my cook books unpacked. We're doing a lot of cleaning and
fix up work, making it, as one person put it, "our home, instead of
somebody's house". I washed down all the shelves in the kitchen and
bathrooms today, will put down liner before opening the boxes to unpack.
