I speak from experience. Coincidentally, I just
walked past a restaurant where I had one of the
best Stroganoffs I'd ever had. I think it was, in
addition to the plethora of onions, the funkiness
of the sour cream that made it so good. Yes, I
suffered afterward.

It does sound good. Or bad, depending on how one looks at it.

to go away. The pain nerves work just fine.

The worst of all worlds, eh.

Pretty much.

I wouldn't trade my ailments and infirmities,
numerous though they are, for yours.

He descended on fours, as well, but two of these were
provided by his lady.

Hence the hot girlfriend requirement. These days I'd need a
helicopter.

And also coincidentally, on the same day I walked
past a pyramid. You can't land a helicopter on a
pyramid.

No, but you can fly over.

I can fly over most things besides the Kremlin, the
White House, and Roswell.

Explain giraffes, please.

Well, they're good at necking.

Also a good substitute for scaffolding if you could teach them to
wash windows.

I've heard of that - wasn't it Roald Dahl's idea?

I've been within shouting distance of Angela Davis but
not of Juey Long, who was dead at the time. I have put my

Did I type that?

It wasn't me.

I must have been thinking of the Spanish Huey.

Or the typoed Huey.

I don't think they were much acquainted.

One could say.

Put it this way - if there is a Hotzeplotz, Huey
would be a prime candidate for permanent residency.

Of that I have no doubt. If he could find a way to do the wrong
thing, he probably did it. If he couldn't think of one, he took it
as a challenge.

We have had a number of politicians over the years
about whom one could say that.

Now that's a name I haven't seen in yoinks. RIP dude.

He left about the time I arrived.

Involuntarily.

Not in both cases.

In his case it was cancer, and apparently even less fun than the
usual.

Yeah.

Did you see that Mariano Rivera was the first
unanimously voted-in member of the Hall of Fame?

I remember that happening, and people saying it probably would.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's a confused place. My friend Rosemary is one
of the few residents of Rhode Island who actually
resides on an island.

I think the islands of Rhode Island belong to New York. Now that's confuzzling.

Maybe.

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.01

Title: Couscous Patties:
Categories: Vegetarian, Rice/grains
Yield: 30 servings

10 oz Couscous 1 ts Mustard seeds
6 Green chillies 1/2 c Urad dahl
1 1" piece of ginger 3 Dry red chillies
Salt; to taste Curry leaves (2-3
sprigs)
2 ts Vegetable oil 2 tb Coconut (optional)

You will be able to get mustard seeds, curry leaves and urad dahl in any
local Indian store.

Save about 2 tsp of urad dahl and soak the rest of the urad dahl in water
for about an hour. After an hour, grind the urad dahl, green chillies and
ginger to the consistency of pancake batter and keep aside.

In a pan, heat the 2 tsp veg oil and add the mustard seeds, 2 tsp urad
dahl
(that was saved), the curry leaves and the red chillies (after cutting
them
into fine pieces). When the mustard seeds start spluttering and the urad
dahl starts turning golden brown, add 3 1/2 cups of water and the urad
dahl
batter, mix well and close the pan. When the water starts boiling, add
salt. (The batter already added will tend to form clusters- Don't worry -
Can be fixed later) Add the couscous and mix thoroughly (use a potato
masher and get rid of any clusters by mashing them well). After the
mixture
has solidified, (This should not take more than 5-10 minutes) take the
pan
out of the heat and let cool.

After the mixture has cooled, take a small portion of the mixture and
make
into a patty and set aside. (You can use some water and/or oil to make
the
patties if the batter is too sticky) The amounts mentioned in this recipe
should yield about 30 patties. Serve with sphaghetti sauce or any spicy
chutney.

WARNING: If you don't like spicy food, reduce the number of green and red
chillies.

Probably safer not. OTOH I can eat dairy.

And New York City, at least for a while.

I think half of them were elected to public office in Connecticut.
At least two were re-elected after they got out of the joint for
crimes committed on the first go-round.
