 ML>> Bigger oops is that I've determined they're in Rhode
 ML>> Island. All right, I can always buy more.
 NB>> How long before you touch base there again...?  Having stashes
 NB>> various places isn't necessarily a bad thing....  ;)
 ML> At one point maybe 15-20 years ago I had sets of clothing
 ML> in 4 cities, the most exotic being London. Not medication,
 ML> though.

Depending on what the meds are, and their shelf life, etc, they might
not take well to being stashed...  especially prescription meds... I did
leave an almost empty bottle of prescription eye drops up at the camp,
intentionally, as I expected to finish it off the next visit... Most
meds I'd just carry in my carryon... 
 
 ML>> she seemed just fine, just hungry. She then ate another can
 ML>> of cat food as though nothing had happened.
 NB>> Richard, looking over my shoulder, suggested that maybe they aren't
 NB>> feeding her something she needed...  but it also comes to mind that
 NB>> sometimes that is caused by excessive hairballs... not very pleasant,
 NB>> though... 
 ML> As Bill and Linda were both dressed up when this occurred,
 ML> and I was in jeans, I took it upon myself to clean up, and
 ML> there was no trace of hairball, just undigested canned cat
 ML> food. 

Hmmm.... maybe just a case of greedyguts in the extreme, swallowed it
whole, and then realized it wasn't going down right afterall.. would
explain the yowl that preceded the spew, too...  

 ML> This cat, named Oreo as she is black and white, had
 ML> had her annual physical not long before. On the other hand,
 ML> Annie's California friend Bob called a couple days ago with
 ML> the sad news that his dog Cooper had shuffled off this mortal
 ML> coil (what the heck does that mean? Shakespeare, quite a
 ML> weirdo, has a lot to answer for) just days after having been
 ML> given a clean bill of health at the vet's.

A friend of mine had a heart attack at the hospital just moments after
she'd been pronounced perfectly healthy..  She's just fine now,
thankfully... but it was a bit of a scare...  :)

Shakespeare just had a way with words and imagery... That one I think
means something like the soul shrugs off the body and leaves it behind
(perhaps like a winter coat)...  ;)

 ML>> I don't see potatoes as better than survival food and put
 ML>> it in the same category as millet, quinoa, and other
 ML>> starchy things. Not big on starchy things.
 NB>> Not surprising... especially since one of their virtues is to combine
 NB>> with dairy to complete proteins... another non-starter for you.. ;)
 ML> Yet on occasion I really, really like scallopped potatoes.

Another of the unaccountable for tastes...  ;)

 ML> Yesterday we went out with friends, and I ordered one of the
 ML> daily specials, and it came with blue cheese mashed potatoes,
 ML> which I countermanded, specifying no side at all, for which
 ML> the waitress thanked me: apparently most people just waste a
 ML> side even if they know they aren't going to eat it. Alas,
 ML> when the dish came (baked haddock with a crab cake) there was
 ML> a pile of vegetable medley next to it, as the kitchen thought
 ML> that the plate was too drab without any side at all, so I
 ML> ended up wasting food after all. Some of the fish was overdone,
 ML> so I wasted that as well.

At least it was their fault that food was wasted, not yours... ;)

 ML>> Ginger Tomato Ice Cream
 NB>> That is odd... does it have Indian roots, with the garam masala and
 NB>> the ginger as ingredients...?
 ML> I don't think so - it's one of those fashionable fusion
 ML> things that was dished up in a challenge for the Post;

Ah... guess that makes sense, then...  :)

 ML> but it being 4 am on Christmas eve and as one doesn't expect
 ML> Santa this early, I might as well go on line and so ...
 ML> Kathy Miles, whose Green Tomato Mint Sorbet earned her a
 ML> finalist spot in the 2011 Top Tomato competition, was
 ML> talking with recipe editor Bonnie S. Benwick last year
 ML> about the contest. "Bonnie said to me, 'No one has done
 ML> a good ice cream,' " Miles said. She took that as a
 ML> challenge and came up with this one, which we thought
 ML> was impressive enough to make her a finalist again this
 ML> year. - Washington Post 8/15/12

Oh, ok....  Making a good Tomato ice cream... as a challenge... 
I suppose it might not taste all that bad...  ;)

ttyl       neb

... Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.
