That's what cooking as recreation is all about. Also what
cooking by necessity is all about. I was musing just now
with a friend about how much trial and error was needed to
figure out how to make taro edible (for example).

 NB> Wrong sort of marrow... sigh...  ;)

And I read just now "wrong sort of moral."

 NB>> maybe she should consider suing... someone, anyway... insurance,
 NB>> airport, airline...   ;)
 ML> Airport, mostly, which had responsibility for the door that
 ML> had a faulty sensor.
 NB> Probably too early to have had a response from insurance, right...?

Too early. I see her today or tomorrow and will inquire, but
unless the insurance company is far superior to others, you
won't hear anything, because she won't have heard anything.

 ML> scissors from the hotels (when flies with carryon, one doesn't
 ML> take scissors).
 NB> Of course not, not anymore...  And there's a knack to tearing the
 NB> tearable tape... which I think they only teach in nursing school... ;)

I thought I'd learned the trick - it's making a big dent with
one's fingernail, then putting pressure on the deformation.
But it didn't work.

 ML> I now have found them available on the Internet up to about 4.

+1 or 2 diopters, I could understand, as they don't do much that
an ordinary magnifying glass doesn't.
 
 ML> Now I can read the numbers on a measuring stick 2 feet away

 NB> Hmmm...  not so good...

In full light, not so bad. One thing with this extremely high
index plastic is that not so much light gets through. I would
guess half or less.

 NB> Apparently not enough to truly be pathogenic... ;)

And where's the fun in that.
