Hi Dave,


 DD> I knew it was pretty breezy. The Asian word for hurricane is Tai Fun
 DD> (Typhoon) which translates as "supreme wind".  Bv)=

 RH> I know; I picked that up from the James Clavell books. (G)

 DD> One of the many reasons that I'd rather read a good book than zone out
 DD> in front of the one-eyed monster.

Usually what I do also, especially at night. Daylight hours may be spent
at the sewing machine.

 DD> find that it's easier to read the on-line these days. But I always
 DD> glom onto a hard copy - for the adverts and coupons.  Bv)=

 RH> Good going; I miss getting the flyers and sales ads that the print
 RH> paper had but it's so much easier to deal with the on line version.
 RH> Our recycle can isn't as full either. (G)

 DD> I take the e-edition of the daily. And they mail out a collection of
 DD> grocery adverts, coupon flyers, etc. I get the grocery ad delivered to
 DD> my in-box for all of the stores in town. The only flyer I get any use
 DD> from is the Dollar Gererous. They often have really good deals on
 DD> stuff I can (and do) use.

We've been getting greeting cards from them the past few years.


 DD> Or use a pot that's wide/deep enough to submerge the sticks in one go.
 DD> I still do the "pan length" as it's easier to wind it onto my fork at
 DD> table. But, That's me.

 RH> At least you don't cut it into 1" or less pieces. (G)

 DD> Only pasta I do in that size range is elbow macaroni, rosemarina, cous
 DD> cous, etc.

My MIL treated us (3 kids, 3 spouses) to dinner last night at an Italian
place, only one person didn't leave with a "leftovers" box. I had veal
and eggplant parm with a side of penne pasta & marinara sauce. The size
of the piece of veal was almost the whole dinner plate, with 2 roughly
6" rounds of eggplant on top of it. Penne pasta was good, maybe about a
cup and a half (cooked) with a good amount of marinara. Starter was a
salad so I only ate about 1/3 of my entree. Steve had Italian jambalya
over liguini and a salad; I think he took about half of his entree home.

 DD> I was hesitant to serve a dish using cous cous to my brother since
 DD> he's had this "thing" abou rice ever since his tour in Vietnam. But,
 DD> he knows the difference and enjoyed it. I keep hoping he'll mellow out
 DD> of it like Steve did with pork. But that hope is dwindling.  Bv)=

Don't hold your breath waiting. (G)


 DD> I present this recipe as written - but with the question "How can a
 DD> bird be both free range AND corn fed"?

Free range during the warm parts of the year, corn fed in the colder
parts. (G) More likely was supposed to be "free range OR corn fed".
