I should have asked the croakers if I could leave off the injected blood
thinner when they took the splints and wrappings off my legs. I'm sick of
sticking those needles into my belly fat. And bruising my hands/arms every time
I brush against something

My olds used to call those "educated beets". I once got in trouble for asking
why they hadn't learned to taste better.

Diageo are currently in charge of Guinness according to their web presence -
having glommed them from Grand Met plc.

Until a very few years ago all alcohol sales were banned on 17 March as it was
a religious holiday. I am sure that Guinness lobbied hard to get that changed.

  Hard cook the eggs, crack the shells, keep one egg for

  Put into a bowl with the oil, vinegar, and seasonings.
  Peel the apples, cut into neat pieces; add to the beets
  with the diced ham.

  Mix the egg yolks and whites with the beets, pile onto a
  bed of lettuce. Garnish with rings of hard cooked egg,
  lemon and the onion and or olives.

  excellent hors d'oeuvre for 6-8 people, particularly, good
  if fish is the main course. Store in refrigerator.

  Vary by omitting apple, and adding cooked rice or diced,
  cooked potato.
