    I'd find the concept troublesome. Of course, I don't
    worry much about conventions and schedules.
    Different life styles.
    As you and I have both noted before. At least neither
    of us sneers too much at the other's.
    I try not to sneer, but may sigh from time to time. (G)

    I tend to ignore unless there were any echo-related issues.

    Leaving us to ferret out which are right, which are
    pure > ML> baloney. > ML> And often without the necessary tools.
    Those are often useful. (G)
    Well, more often than often.
    Too often for your liking?
    Perhaps, but it's in the nature of the beast, so I've got
    to take it.
    Sometimes better or worse than you took it for?

    Not sure I get that.

    As I wrote a day or two ago, I've been eating in a region
    where every restaurant from the simplest to the most elaborate
    serves friets with just about everything.
    I'd be leaving most of them behind.

    I've warned waiters to serve just a half portion,
    but what comes out is twice as much as anyone would
    want to eat anyway, even if it is a half portion.

    I don't want mine to go too extreme in either direction.
    I have collapsed on the street once or twice but do
    not make a habit of it.
    I've not done that but don't want to risk it with my blood sugar levels.

    Worrying about it would probably subtract more years
    from my life than doing what I do.

    Posting what you are or are not thankful for.
    Oh, going back to the previous subject. I didn't
    catch that.
    No big deal, is it something worth posting or not?
    Doesn't matter - if it's not worth posting, it's no great
    loss. It's not as if this echo is so busy that we begrudge
    the bandwidth.
    Maybe we can start the thread at some point.

    I'm okay with it just so it doesn't get close to
    religion or politics.

    Title: Endive, Beet And Red-onion Salad
    Looks interesting. I've never bought endive nor eaten it (that I know
    of) but am quite familiar with everything else.

    Around here it's available in all the markets, but
    the restaurants don't serve it - probably a little
    more expensive than other greens.

    Hi Michael,

    Different life styles.
    As you and I have both noted before. At least neither
    of us sneers too much at the other's.
    I try not to sneer, but may sigh from time to time. (G)

    I tend to ignore unless there were any echo-related issues.

    That works as well.

    Maybe you need to ask for a quarter portion?

    I don't want mine to go too extreme in either direction.
    I have collapsed on the street once or twice but do
    not make a habit of it.
    I've not done that but don't want to risk it with my blood sugar

    from my life than doing what I do.

    Just be careful where/when you pass out. (G)

    OK, maybe we'll start it nearer to the end of the year when people are
    more inclined to think along those lines.

    Possibly so.
