========================
 -> Anne isn't that heavy, just really unsteady. She has her heart
 -> set on going to see the Yankees this weekend, and I hope she is
 -> in condition to do so (not that I really want anyone to watch
 -> the Yankees).

Well, she's bedridden now, which is ominous; her sons and a
daughter-in-law tootled off to see the game without her,
so her condition can't be all that bad, though.

 RH> I want to watch the Yankees; I want to watch them on the business end
 RH> of a  shutout.  

How about being outslugged 9-8, 12-8, and 13-9 by the Sox?

 -> Other than the exceptions I make for spinach and sometimes for tasty
 -> greens like mizuna, I'm not into green and leafy for a second.
 RH> Like I said. I can go for weeks without missing them, and then will
 RH> spend a  week eating protein and greens. 

I could live the rest of a natural lifespan without greens,
just so I got some raw meat every day. Even raw bacon.

 ->  RH> It doesn't do that to me.  It's definitely one up on raw tomatoes,
 ->  RH> which I  can get down at best.  The more I eat them the less I like
 ->  RH> them.   
 -> Is it the poisonous greeny taste that sometimes comes out,
 -> or the turn your mouth into a mass of sores phenomenon, or
 -> what? I have surmounted both these obstacles and quite like
 -> raw tomatoes.
 RH> I think it's a combination of the texture and the taste.  It doesn't
 RH> seem to 
 RH> matter if it's a yellow tomato, red tomato, fancy heirloom or even a
 RH> green  one.  They all taste equally foul.

Huh. I see different tomatoes as differently abled. Maybe
you are exceptionally solanine-sensitive.

 ->  RH> I don't especially like it creamed.  If it's fresh I eat it raw. If
 ->  RH> it's not so nice it gets steamed or thrown in the soup pot.
 -> I'm not so into raw except with bacon dressing.
 RH> I'll eat that too; almost anything tastes good with sufficient bacon. 
 RH> Preferably not raw bacon.

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. A properly cured and
smoked bacon can be utterly delicious just sliced off the chub
and eaten out of hand.

 -=> Ruth Hanschka said to Ruth Haffly <=-

 -> Clothes are mostly in the bedroom closet, some in the sewing room but
 -> not a lot. A fair amount of "needs alteration stuff is in that room to.
 -> I try not even to bring tea into that room; I don't want everything to
 -> have the tea dyed look.
 RH> That's why I generally drink the green stuff.  Fewer potential
 RH> disasters. 

Funny, I would have thought that it too stained. Or do you
generally wear green clothes?

 -> So now the church office doesn't get CVS chocolate?
 RH> Right now they're not eating any at all for 40 days. Long story. On
 RH> day 41 I 
 RH> expect to drive by and see an M&M Marrs delivery truck parked
 RH> outside.(LOL) 

Actually I'd expect an M&M truck to park itself outside there
before 40 days - a sort of temptation of church office thing.

 ->  RH> Those are actually quite good.  If the produce and meats went
 ->  RH> downhill, I'd be out of there.  I already won't buy meat in the 
 RH> local
 ->  RH> Stop&Shop; I got sick of stir fry becoming stir braise.
 -> We all have our favorites. I get most of my meats at Lowe's, some Harris
 -> Teeter, some Whole Foods. Depends on what I want, where I'm doing the
 -> bulk of the shopping.

Supermarket meat if cut properly and patted dry (or coated
with starch) before it goes into the pan can make a perfectly
okay stir-fry and not shed too much liquid.

 RH> I actually generally prefer to get mine in the local IGA.  The deals
 RH> are  often better and the meat quality is high.  They don't have the
 RH> fresh  seafood the others do however.

So is IGA a chain, considering it's all franchises, I wonder.
