baseball anecdotes and lore (that sport generates characters,
perhaps because it's an odd mix between team and individual
sport, more than others), and it's likely there were stories
about the two players in succession in a collection, and the
names got confused in my brain.

That makes some sense... :)

The trail was not that obscure.

Agreed that wouldn't preserve drippings... I thought that was a
different option, though...

Don't know at this point, but we were talking about
Yorkshire pudding, which is a roast-beefy sort of
accompaniment.

True... you brought up the yorkshire pudding as a recipe appended... you
had said previously something about finishing slices in a pan for those
who wished them more done....

Of course, one could trim the roast closer and use the
suet to make the Yorkshires, but who needs the things.

It was a touch and go thing.

But in keeping with your abilities as a navigator despite it all.. :)

I'm not sure which cues clicked in in just that place, but
the reasoning was, we're on the wrong side of the canal for
the highway but the right side for the Fords, so maybe it
would be a good idea to check out the neighborhood before
the signs told us to cross over again.

Good reasoning, in any case... :)

Thank you.

Oh, they at least had the benefit of visitors, and someone else
cooking for them... ;) And none of the responsibilities for planning things.... ;)

Seems, too, that the grandboys don't visit nearly
as often as would be wished.

That seems to often be a given... when one has the grands, of course...

And they grow up and become more independent, and the
grandparents grow up and become less so.

Indeed.

That was somewhat my thinking Monday night when I warmed up some
leftover cabbage from El Latino (Sunday's meal) to go with the eggplant rollettes I served for Monday's supper... wasn't likely otherwise to be eaten before it spoiled, since I was leaving for the rest of the week.

You could have made cabbage sandwiches - my mother did
that occasionally during leaner periods of my childhood.
They actually weren't bad at all - sort of like egg rolls
only not crisp.

Hadn't thought of that option... dunno how Richard would have liked it, though... ;)

Ask him! People can be amenable to the most peculiar things.

they have had various reasons for not showing. Swisher
rations his travel carefully, as he has to be in Alaska for
half the year; and picnics come during Weller's high season
for real estate. Plus perhaps they don't like our cooking.
Or maybe they don't care for the idea of leaving paradise.

The latter two reasons seem a bit less likely... :)

Why do people like casinos so much? Because there you can
always find a paradise. Several of them, in fact.

Heh.

The only good pun is a bad pun.

... Some days, the only good things on TV are the vase and the clock.

Speaking of wordplay.

Hi Michael,

The only good pun is a bad pun.

Puns are bad but poetry is verse.

"Puns are the highest form of literature." -- Alfred Hitchcock

I love puns. The more groans I get, the bolder I become. ;)

To wit:

An American, a Frenchman, a Spaniard, and a German were in Venice watching a street performer when suddenly a throng of tourists came between the small group and the performer. He calls out, "Can you still see me?"

The group responds: "Yeah." "Oui." "Si." "Ja."

(I rest my case.)

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

1/2 c Lemon juice

1/2 c Black pepper, finely ground

(who is an incorrigable punster; don't incorriage him)
