The first was a rogue, and by the time I figured out
it had gone, Doc's had sent it out. I deleted it on
Doc's, but it was obviously too late.
My first thought, but then thought perhaps there was more to it...
Unlike what some people like to think, I do not always
have ulterior motives (sometimes, maybe, but not then).
The first dates are Saturday and Sunday of the
echo picnic. The working conditions are okay
and the money is more than okay, but she'll have
to do without me for at least the first weekend.
Gotta keep your priorities straight, after all... You can join them for
the second part.... :) Sounds like a nice gig... :)
We shall see. Four digits for her.
patient, well, there's a 80% chance it'll help you
but a 10% chance it'll kill you.
Isn't that pretty much all or most of medicine, even if one isn't specifically told so...? I remember signing a consent form for removing
a skin tag, that also mentioned that chance of death....and that's a
minor minor surgery...
Usually the formulations and dosages have been refined
to the degree that they can claim a substantially better
percentage than that.
the days when the pesty little things were thrown
away, with the occasional Italian fisherman cutting
one open and gulping it down. They were amazingly
delicious and could be got if at all for a dime each.
I'll have to try to remember... that does sound like something I'd like
to try... :)
Just think of it as going back to Uni.
I'm not so sure about the liver, which should be readily
available here. The first time I had it it was from the
Monday United Tokyo-Denver nonstop, and it was pretty but
not totally fresh, having probably been flown Thursday on
the Washington-Tokyo nonstop.
So the liver is a US product...? Another interesting one...
It's monkfish liver - the Japanese poach it (in
sake sometimes) and press it and chill it, and it
becomes an expensive delicacy. Americans used to
throw it overboard, but now they know that the
Japanese will pay for it. And the Japanese have
discovered that American epicures will pay for it,
which creates a bi-linear 360 degree trade.
Charlie Podrebarac once drew a cartoon strip
labeled "Stepford Diners" that showed characters
with glazed and absent visages saying things like
"tastes ... just ... like ... chicken ..." and so
forth. I guess we won't catch you wandering around
saying "tastes ... just ... like ... linguini ...".
Nope, no worries there.... ;)
I wonder if spiralized or spaghettized zucchini would
go well in a recipe such as this one -
Title: Kathy Pitts' Fried Zucchini
It might.... Not sure how well the breading would stick... but it
should result in more breading than squash if it did stick.....
Yeah. Even cyanide becomes nonlethal if diluted enough.
And I believe that's one that one can build up a tolerance for... or
maybe I'm thinking of strychnine (was that the one in the Count of Monte Cristo?)...
Even strychnine. Even tetrodotoxin (at one time said
to be the most toxic substance on earth).
Seymour Britchky described a dish of fried zucchini
slices by likening them to tongue depressors, except
that those you would swallow them before saying "ah."
I'd have been inclined to believe him if he'd amended
that by saying you would swallow them before gagging.
I was never that great with tongue depressers either.
I gag easily, too... you could ask my dentist/hygenist... (G)
And zucchini?

Okay, that's an interesting take.
