Hi Dave,
DD> Someone should pull their coat and tell them the panmdemic is
DD> officially over. Bv)=
RH> Doubt they'll ever go back to that because they're pushing so much
RH> digital access now.
DD> Depends on which side of the ledger shows the greater profit. I find
DD> it hard to follow all the money grubbing like it's a contest. As long
DD> as I have enough sheckels to take care of me and mine that's all I
DD> need, want, or desire.
Echos of Michael Loo--he used to say that he figured his money and life
would end at about the same time.
DD> 8<----- SNIP ----->8
RH> I get a "to go" most every time I eat out now, and usually plan on
RH> eating only half (or less) of my entree, especially if I start with a
RH> salad.
DD> I'm mostly a member of the "clean plate club"
RH> I just don't have the appetite I did when I was younger. Doesn't take
RH> as much to fill me up and since I'm not running after little ones,
RH> don't need as many calories to burn off.
DD> I still have the appetite. But, I find that my "eyes are bigger than
DD> my stomach" more often than not. These days I eat a hearty breakfast
DD> and a seconf meal later in the day. Living basically single I find
DD> that a pre made/frozen entree like "Healty Choice" or similat
DD> satisfies my hunger
DD> without carb-loading me. Most of their entrees are in the 12 - 13
DD> ounce range.
I'm still cooking for 2. Went out today and got my flu shot, stopped at
ReStore for a look around and then over to our favorite gyro place for
take out. I got their Wednesday chicken special--gyro, drink and then
subbed a pasta salad for the fries. Ate the gyro for lunch, will have
the pasta salad for supper since Steve is out tonight.
DD> 8<---- AGAIN ----->8
RH> Sounds like they were thinking cage free but just didn't remember the
RH> proper term.
RH> We never kept any, just raised cats & dogs. (G)
DD> We had cats and dogs. And a 3-legged raccoon. My grandfather trapped
DD> the raccoon in the sweet corn patch. It was strange, he had railed
DD> over "those 'coons stealiong his my corn" for so long then going to
DD> the corn to bring fresh sweet corn back for Cappy to munch on.
DD> I asked him about it and he said "That was stealing. This is giving."
DD> Bv)=
RH> Now that's funny--to quote a former member of the echo.
DD> My friens Les' send-off (funeral) is today. I made this for the after
DD> funeral meal at Temple Israel. But then I realised that I had meat and
DD> dairy in the same dish do it wasn't kosher. Dennis and I will eat well
DD> for a couple of days.
RH> OOPS! I know you will enjoy it but you will be thinking about Les as
RH> you eat it.
DD> True, that. And Janis Kracht who also passed recently (per Shawm's
DD> e-mail)
I saw the notice also. She wasn't on the echo too much in the last few
years but will miss her. It was at the first picnic she hosted (2008?)
that we first tried durian.
