ML> camera. I was tired of the things anyway

(especially the camera) and told my father to
quit it, which he did, with the expected comment,
"but I thought you like fruitcake!"

That sounds like a remark similar to the echo legend remark made by the Pitts:-}}

History repeats repeats itself, I guess.

Title: EGGPLANT KHORESH

A really good dish.

requirement of authenticity. One thing I can say is
that many pistachio ice creams lack any kind of
verisimilitude.

I think that I have said that when I was living in Pittsburg, we
sometimes drove out to the Howard Johnson Restaurant on the PA Turnpike
for a dish of pistachio ice cream. I can say that it was green and that
I *think* the nuts were pistachio.

It would be nice if they had been. Lately,
I've not encountered pistachio almond ice
cream, but I don't look really hard, either.

Baskin Robbins Canada labels their ice cream Pistachio Almond and
the fine print says "Pistachio flavoured ice cream with roasted
almonds". The ingredient list reads: Cream, Nonfat Milk, Roasted

Someday I'll go find a BR and test out the stuff. Lilli
and I went past one in a mall that had an Apple Store
she wanted to visit, so at least it's clear they still
exist if not thrive down here.

There is a BR in the strip mall that contains Wong's Asean Bistro, just
off Route 108. Next time you are here, ask and we'll go there with you.

There are better ways to get one's calories when
visiting your neighborhood. I'd not bump Pioneer or the
Honey Pig off the agenda for the sake of Baskin-Robbins.
It would make more sense for me to go and buy Lilli an
ice cream if only to get her to eat something that
wasn't plain beef and potatoes (not to say that plain
beef is a bad thing).

As has been pointed out, the coldest places
often have the largest ice cream consumption
- New England is particularly noteworthy in
this way. It's an easy, tasty way of ingesting
lots and lots of calories.

I think that the NE reason for so many good ice cream stands is the
frequency of local dairy farms that make it part of their business.

In part perhaps, but there are lots of other
dairy-dependent locations where ice cream is
not so emphasized as, say, cheese.
