============================
 ML>> maybe there will even be copies for (limited) distribution.
 NB>> So you might be able to get one to let others hear the concert...?
 ML> Possibly, depends on what the licensing details were.
 ML> And if the result was any good.
 NB> Ah, if you think it worse than you remember, no letting us hear, eh..?

Correct. And I won't tell you the cause of my not letting you hear.

 NB>> And there are plenty of people
 NB>> who don't listen to the answers to their small talk... ;)
 ML> That's way too true. A lot of those plenty of people just make
 ML> up your answer and imagine you said what they wanted to hear.
 NB> And will remember your "answer" distinctly..   ;/

One of my brother's problems is auditory hallucinations (for
decades) of this sort - he will actually perceive the opposite
of what actually happened: for example, I saw when his mother
criticized him harshly, he would - if facing her - wheel around
and face his father and start screaming at him AS IF he had the
one to say anything, which he hadn't. 

 NB>> Indeed.  And, indeed.  ;)   I suppose that some might just be born
 NB>> more adventurous... or less so, and not have the inclination to broaden
 NB>> their horizons at all... and be amazed at those of us that have a much
 NB>> wider palette... :)
 ML> Ugh! You can eat rancid seal?
 NB> Dunno.. haven't tried it yet... but I suspect my palette doesn't go
 NB> quite that far, either..  ;)   But I DO eat bleu cheese... ;>

Then you might like rancid seal.

 ML> I doubt that, because even people who didn't care for oysters
 ML> realized the prestige value of the things on the table.
 NB> Ah, choke it down for the prestige of the thing... ;)

There are bunches of things people eat for the sheer costliness
and pretend to like even if they can't stand them - shark fin,
caviar, what have you.

 ML> The little shaker said I Am on Fire Ready to Die ... so
 ML> even though it likely would not be challenged, there's
 ML> always the danger "in these times of heightened security."
 NB> Maybe with a different shaker...?  :)  I can almost understand the
 NB> knee-jerk on the saying...  ;)
 
Some of us don't want to be bothered and will go to some
lengths to avoid the possible inconvenience - though I have
seen people act up just so they can get an overreaction so
they can complain and get jollies and enjoy their grievance.

      Title: Spumoni Gourmet
 Categories: Desserts
   Servings:  6

      5    Egg yolks
    3/4 c  Sugar
      2 c  Milk
      1    Piece vanilla bean
      1 c  Heavy cream
    1/4 c  Sugar
      1 tb Chopped marachino cherries
      1 tb Shredded candied orange peel
      1 tb Slivered blanched almonds

  In a saucepan beat 5 egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar until the mixture is thick
  and pale in color.  Stir in 2 cups milk, add a 1-inch piece of vanilla
  bean, and cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard
  is thick.  Be careful not to let it boil.  Discard the vanilla bean and
  cool the custard.  Turn it into a refrigerator tray and freeze it for about
  2 hours, or until it is firm, but soft enough to be molded easily.

  Whip 1 cup heavy cream until it is stiff, fold in 1/4 cup sugar and 1
  tablespoon each of chopped marachino cherries, shredded candied orange
  peel, and slivered blanched almonds and chill the mixture.

  Chill a 1-quart jelly or spumoni mold and line the inside of the mold with
  the frozen custard.  Fill the center of the mold with the chilled whipped
  cream mixture, cover the top of the mold with wax paper, and freeze the
  spumoni without stirring. Source unknown
