 ML> Good. Linh sounds like a Vietnamese name?
 NB> Dunno.  I'd been spelling it Lin... then I noticed that it was spelled
 NB> with the h on the health certificate posted at the front desk of the

nh is not generally used in systems of Chinese transliteration,
so that's a puzzlement. On the other hand, one can go off
system without difficulty, and also bureaucratic persons can
fat-finger things without difficulty. My birth certificate, for
example, lacks a first name for me at all (there's a blank
space where it should go). I don't know if the clerk mistyped
or my parents didn't decide on a name until later - the former
is more likely, as I was born on the eve of one of St. Michael's
feast days, and my father was at the time an enthusiastic
Anglican so was inclined to think along those lines.

 NB> restaurant... I didn't think she looked particularly Vietnamese, or
 NB> Laotian either, for that matter... more Chinese...

I can't tell any more. There are stereotypical looks, the
chubby-faced but usually slim Korean type, the drawn Vietnamese,
and so on, but too many people defy the looks.

 ML>> Turkey thighs are a festive meal in themselves. 
 NB>> The good meat without much fuss, even still on the bone... ;)  
 ML> I really don't care so much about the fuss - good meat is
 ML> worth any amount of fuss.
 NB> You're more into fuss than I am...  :)

Sometimes. But then I'm the one who takes a chunk of
beef and eats it raw.

 ML>> But our turkey cost $10/lb ... !
 NB>> Then it had better have been good savory meat... (G)
 ML> Again, was it 10x as good as battery turkey? Maybe.
 NB> One would hope it would at least come close...  :)  And it was for a
 NB> special occasion, so that could count for something of a splurge... ;)

And that Rosemary's granddaughter and prospective gs-i-l
raised that turkey, that softens the blow. On the other
hand, they're not making any money on that organic and
supposedly mostly sustainable farm even at those prices.
