Hi Dave,
DD> As I said above "Some of which is very nice." And, of course, there
DD> are some dishes which could gag a maggot out of a garbage can.
RH> Steve would count anything made with bittermelon in that category.
RH> Others would include durian. I like them both, in small amounts--can
RH> enjoy more melon than durian tho. (G)
DD> AFAIK I'venever had bitter melon on purpose, nor made anything with it
DD> as an ingredient. Durian, OTOH, is a different story.
Hard to find bittermelon outside of an Asian market unless you are in
Hawaii. (G) I never tried preparing it, just enjoyed it in some of the
dishes our Philippino congregation made for pot lucks.
DD> 8<----- ||||| ----->8
DD> I thought Ms. Spencer was quite attractive despite her blonde hair.
RH> That's your opinion. Besides, what's wrong with being blonde? I was for
RH> my childhood/early adulthood. It turned more brown over the years tho.
DD> Sorry, platinum blondes/bottle blondes give the dishwater blondes a
DD> bad name by association. Bv)= My favourite blonde has to be Dolly
DD> Parton.
She is a trip! But, she's very generous--gave I don't know how many
millions of dollars to her employees a few years ago when wildfires took
out a lot of their houses. Also, last year, gave quite a bit toward
Helene relief in both NC and TN.
DD> 8<----- XXXXX ----->8
DD> Then ignore the thing. Once I put one of her victims in her food dish
DD> hoping she'd get the idea that it was food. Ms. Calico scooped the
DD> mouse onto the floor and started crunching her kibble.
RH> All depends on how they're raised in the first couple of months. I
RH> can't recall our momma cats teaching their young how to hunt; kittens
RH> generally found homes around 8-10 weeks old. By then they knew how to
RH> eat & drink from dishes.
DD> Had Callie stayed with her dam for a few weeks past weaning Mom Cat
DD> would have schooled her in foraging for her food.
But she might not have been as easy to catch and civilize.
