========================

-> 
-> Well, she's bedridden now, which is ominous; her sons and a

Or at leas they don't want to think it is.

end

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

That worked fine too, although it didn't do much for the Sox' collective 
ERA.  
 
->  -> Other than the exceptions I make for spinach and sometimes for tasty

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

Now that''s one thing even I won't eat. Raw bacon.  I prefer mine fried up 
and crumbled into my greens. 
 
->  -> or the turn your mouth into a mass of sores phenomenon, or

->  RH> I think it's a combination of the texture and the taste.  It

a

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

Or something. I like other nightshades just fine, just not raw tomatoes. 
They don't do anything to me except make me want to spit them out.
 
->  -> 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.

OTOH, when you're immune-compromised, eating raw meat isn't the wisest
move.  
I wouldn't be if I weren't on some of these MS drugs, but I have to act
like 
I am.

to

-> 
-> Funny, I would have thought that it too stained. Or do you

It generally goes on whatever I'm sewing, and the color is faint enough
that 
it wouldn't be noticed. 
 
->  -> So now the church office doesn't get CVS chocolate?

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

Wouldn't surprise me.  I think the Advil truck will get there first. 
Between the headaches and backaches...ecch.
 
->  ->  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

the

-> 
-> 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.

Or better yet frozen for 24 hours first. It slices more easily if it's
still 
a little frozen, and that method drives off a lot of the added water.
 
->  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.

Sorta kinda.  Independant Grocer's Alliance.  They aren't franchises.
