Hi Michael,

 RH> Win some, lose some. We'll all die one of these days, by what means is
 RH> usually undetermined.

 ML> Not much can be said about that.

No, it's a foregone conclusion that it'll happen.


 ML>  Life insurance doesn't insure your life but
 RH> usually ensures survivors have something to remember you by.

 ML> Life insurance is betting the company that you'll die before
 ML> it thinks you will. We were talking about health insurance,
 ML> though, I think.

Probably--that stuff doesn't ensure your health but (sometimes) helps to
cover the rough spots. Only bill I saw when I went thru the breast
cancer diagnosis, surgery, radiation, etc was when one was rejected for
having the wrong SSN on it. Once I called and got that corrected, the
bill was paid.

 RH> Sounds like being a vegetarian would be a good option.

 ML> Not for me.

We've not gone totally over but had weeks when we've gone meatless.
Using the complimentary proteins let us get the needed protiens but
without having the meat. It's easier to do when cooking with whole
grains to start with.


 RH> How's the poultry, edible or avoid it at all costs?

 ML> Except for the duck, which is scrawny and gamy, not bad.
 ML> The chicken is scrawny as well but perfectly within normal
 ML> limits.

So how is it prepared?


 ML>       Title: Souvlaki With Tzaziki
 ML>       2 c  Red wine;dry
 ML> ...
 RH> OK, what do I sub for the wine here? Two cups is a bit much liquid to
 RH> just leave out.

 ML> I read right past the wine. A tart juice, perhaps apple
 ML> mixed with lemon, and you don't have to use the whole 2
 ML> cups, which is nearly too much anyway even for a marinade.

OK, I might use some apple/lemon juice, some water.


 ML> This below will produce a too sour product. And to the idiotic
 ML> question posed by the collector, the answer is "yes."

 ML>       Title: Souvlaki
 ML>  Categories: Greek, be careful
 ML>       Yield: 6 servings

 ML>     1/4 c  Salad oil                           4 ts Salt
 ML>     1/4 c  Wine vinegar                      1/4 ts Pepper
 ML>     1/4 c  Lemon juice                              Oregano to taste
 ML>       1    Clove Garlic, minced (This          4 lb Boned leg of lamb,
 ML> 1 to 1            -is Greek?)                              -1/2 inch
 ML> cubes

 ML>   Serves: 6

 ML>   Souvlaki may also be made with pieces of beef or fish.  You might
 ML> want to   use marinated scallops, shripm or halibut.
                                       ******

*New kind of seafood? (G)


I think I'd go with the traditional and use lamb, provided the budget
could sustain it.
