 NB>> were these particularly "breakfast" burritos (ie eggs and meat and
 NB>> cheese, like a burrito form of a McD breakfast muffin/bagel/etc),
 NB>> or regular lunch-type ones...?  I've seen the breakfast sort in the
 NB>> frozen cases at the supermarket... ;)
 ML> That particular one was a ground beef burrito, so preferable to
 ML> the kind with scrambled eggs in it. If it had had any decent spice
 ML> in it I might have counted it good, but very little Arizona food
 ML> has much in the way of spice (the Phoenicians think it does,
 ML> though).

Guess they just tuned down their spice taste nodes...  too bad it didn't
have enough spice to make it better... it does sound like an intriguing
addition to a breakfast buffet...  :)
 
 ML>> An early dinner at Lo-Lo's expansion place on Scottsdale Rd.
 NB>> So apparently their usual clientele likes their food saltier than
 NB>> normal...?  Oh, dear...
 ML> It's a sort of soul place with a substantial black clientele.
 ML> The incidence of high blood pressure among blacks is quite
 ML> high - perhaps in part because they like to eat food like this.

Not everyone is salt-sensitive, but yes, it would definitely feed into
the genetic component for salt-sensitive high blood pressure...  And if
there isn't any appreciable sodium lowering food in the diet to go with
it, I'd guess it could well play into  it.  :)

 ML>> Not something to do often. I've used only 3 or 4 pills this week, 
 NB>> Best to save for special occasions... :)
 ML> One cool thing about the Philippines I discovered is that
 ML> very few of the foods - only ones adapted from European -
 ML> have any dairy in them except for butter.

So little need for the pills, unless something is particularly laden in
butter...?   And sounds like you still have a wide variety to be
choosing from...  :)
 
 ML>> I sort of wonder sometimes if there's a correlation
 ML>> between lactose intolerance and early weaning. I was
 ML>> as I'm told a bottle baby from day one.
 NB>> It is indeed possible.  Especially with a predilection towards the
 NB>> intolerance built into the genes... Bottle-fed would get a different
 NB>> mix of nutrients, including the lactose and the fats and the
 NB>> proteins... they still are finding some things in mother's milk that
 NB>> they never knew about, and make a big tout about them when they add
 NB>> them to the formulas....
 ML> I wonder how they are going to put those lymphocytes and
 ML> antibodies into formula.

Good question...  especially as the mother's body tends to be a factory
for the precise blend that the infant needs, including producing
antibodies when needed... not going to get that specificity in any
mass-produced formula...  :)

 NB>> I'm a little surprised she didn't know about
 NB>> the high lactose content in mother's milk, since she was also involved
 NB>> with LaLecheLeague as a young mother... :)  Maybe the leaders in her
 NB>> group(s) didn't go into that as much as in the groups I was part of... 
 ML> Everyone's focus is different.

True.  And the questions that come from the new mothers or mothers-to-be
can be different from group to group, even from series to series...  

 ML> FICKLIN PORT LACE APPLES
 ML> Categories: dessert, wine, product flack
 ML> 1/4 c Ficklin Tinta Port
 ML> Pour Port over bottom of a buttered shallow 1 1/2 qt baking dish.
 ML> Turn apples with lemon juice to coat. Spread over Port in pan.
 ML> Thoroughly stir together flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and
 ML> almonds. Mix butter and vanilla; add to almond mixture; stir with
 ML> a fork until mixed and crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over apples. Bake
 ML> in a 375 F oven until topping is richly golden brown, about 35-40
 ML> min. Partially cool on a rack. Spoon out to serve, keeping sugar
 ML> mixture on top. Top generously with whipped cream.

Now that might work with pears...  Is Ficklin Tinta Port any good...?

... A little knowledge can be dangerous, the lack thereof, devastating.
