I'd not even heard of Google Hang Outs until reading this.

Better Hang Outs than hang ups. (G) Did you check it out?

No - never checked it out, and it sounds silly to me.

I'd never heard of it before, either... typical cutesy name...

The notion that I should hang out with or via Google is
almost as repugnant as that I do so with Mark Zuckerberg.

Likewise... closest I'd come is that RJ uses phone via skype to call us
when he's out of the country....

I've not Skyped, either.

want to do something that you don't know the precedures
for, you have a guru to consult. If there's such a thing
for me, I just forget about it.

I'd have to want or need to do that sort of thing pretty bad to even
call him in on it, though... :)

You have the option in extreme cases, though.

Like you, though, I don't really mind this condition... ;)

Seems to be of the same mindset as, say, cooking your
own food.

There is indeed a similarity... :)

Relatively high self-reliance, or at least the
avilability of that as an option.

Oddly, they didn't taste nasty. Not something I'd go
out of my way for, nor nearly so nice as spinach or
basically any of the Chinese brassicaceous greens, but
I ate down all of my (tiny) serving and would have
cleaned the dish out in the interest of minimizing waste,
only it was all gone by the time the time came.

Just as well... :) The guests seem to have liked them well enough,
then... :)

Suppose.

That is rather obtrusive... and a bit scary besides... when is that
likely to be taken care of...?

If it begins to pop out, I'll visit an ER. If it's
just a gradual noodging out, I'll wait until I visit
the regular cardiologist and see what he says.

And how soon is that cardio visit...?

3 weeks.

The danger of course is if it breaches the skin, there's
the likelihood of a heart infection, problematic, and if
it pops out altogether, it'll probably cause a fatality,
even more problematic.

Indeed... Do take care of it before it gets to that stage.....

Going to try.

Some have, it would seem.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07

Title: Herman Starter
Categories: Breads
Servings: 1

2 tb Or 2 envelopes active dry
Yeast
1/4 c Warm water
1 c Sugar
2 c All purpose white flour
2 c Milk (see note)

DAY,1: Sprinkle yeast over warm water.Add 1 tablespoon of the sugar and
let
stand a few minutes until yeast is active and swelling.Combine remaining
sugar,flour and milk in a 4 t0 6 quart glass,plastic or pottery bowl or
container.(Do not use metal bowls or utensils as these may retard starter
growth.)With a wooden spoon,stir in active yeast mixture.Cover loosely
with
a towel so Herman can breathe.Let stand in a warm draft free place
overnight. DAYS,2,3,and 4:Stir daily with a wooden spoon.Keep
covered.Keep
cool. DAY,5: Stir in 1/2 cup sugar,1 cup milk and 1 cup flour.Let stand
24
hours. DAYS,6,7,8,and 9:Stir daily with a wooden spoon. DAY,10: Repeat
DAY
5,stirring in 1/2 cup sugar,1 cup milk and 1 cup flour. THIS gives you
enough starter to use freely in recipes and/or give away. Herman may be
replenished as needed but can go no more than 5 days at room temperature
between feedings.After feeding,wait 24 hours before using the renewed
starter. DAILY stirring helps keep yeast mold from forming. Most
directions
specify that Herman not be refrigerated since cooler temperatures slow
the
growth and "souring" of the starter.It is,however,a safer course for busy
cooks with fast growing startersHerman also is freezer-friendly and may
be
kept on ice between baking impulses if you get board. NOTE: If
desired,substitute butter-milk for milk in starter for more flavor and
less
fat.If more starter is needed,additions may be doubled when 2 or more
cups
of starter are used.....

AN ASIDE::: Marilyn Marter is a food columnist for the Philly.Inquirer.
Her
speciality is finding recipes for people who have lost them,or had heard
of
them from someone else.These are tried and true recipes from people who
use
them all the time...I say this,because I do not what anyone to think this
starter is a flight of fancy on my part or anyone elses.. Being ignorant
of
these matters I have copied this recipe verbatem... Please enjoy,as soon
as
I get my Breadmachine I will join you all in trying this....Irwin E.

Neither have I, personally... I think that that was what was used to
bring in one of our reunion committee members via computer... we could
interact with him, almost as though he was there.... But what I'm
doing with RJ is essentially just a regular landline phone call as far
as can be told at my end... on his end, he's able to call from anywhere
as long as he has wireless internet available there, and to receive
calls from me (I dial his 315 area code phone number that he has hooked
into his skype account)... a slightly different sort of magic from the
more commonly known about Skype... ;)

Quite true... :)

3 weeks.

Oh, ok... between the trip to Hoares and the picnic, then....
