A little extreme, sounds like. Of course,
making a journey of that magnitude in those
days would have been arduous in itself even
for the properly nourished.

Quite the trip. I don't recall how many, if any other trips she made
back to the States while serving. Any trip like that would have taken a
lot of planning ahead.

And conditioning. Sad that she couldn't make
that last trip home.

"adventure" like this. Takes others talking sense into them for them

It's fine with me what they do to themselves,
but putting others in danger - and one's own
family at that - will never win my approval.

I would not support an undertaking like that either.

If I'd been a young person encountering this, I'd
oppose it pretty actively. Being an oldster, a sound
talking-to followed by a shrug if my words fell on
deaf ears.

The frequency of retractions is distressing,
and it's because of lack of proper investigation
and followup. On the other hand, the less
reputable sources don't do retractions at all,
which is worse. And there are "sources" that
just plain make things up.

So, instead of the grain of salt we used to take news with, now we need
just about the whole shaker full.

Aye, and like literal salt, that makes me ill.

If you're reading this, the annihilation of our
planet by Nibiru didn't happen, again. It won't
happen, again, next week.

Didn't know we were supposed to be bumped off. (G)

It was in the news, mostly by writers
making fun of the doomsayers, who, it
must be admitted, pretty much invited
that treatment.

Take my word for this one. Remember that
Kosher for Passover is much more restrictive
than plain old Kosher and involves a higher
level of certification with additional criteria.

Quite a bit more than the day to day certifications that a rabbi usually does.

The ingredients and processing facilities have
to be obsessively checked to make sure there's
no chametz anywhere. Among other things, some
obscure to me.

Maybe so, but it would satisfy those that don't like mixed up foods..."Mom, my peas are touching my potatoes and the gravy is

getting > all over the peas." kind of person. Enough of them out
there, and not > all of them are under the age of 10. (G)
My heart is cold toward those people.

I'd maybe tolerate it once or twice in a young child but not one old
enough to reason with, and for sure, not an adult.

Tolerate, sure. Endorse, no.

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

Title: Chicken Clemenceau
Categories: Poultry, Ethnic
Yield: 4 servings

1 3-lb chicken, disjointed 1 c Peas, cooked
6 Cl Garlic, chopped 4 Potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 tb Butter 1/2 c Corn oil
1 tb Olive or corn oil 1 Head garlic, peeled and
1 c Water or stock Chopped
1 c White wine or vermouth

Garlicky and good. Peas and potatoes included. Coat chicken lightly
with
flour. Brown in butter and oil at medium high heat. Lower heat, add head
of garlic and saute until aromatic. Pour off fat except 2 tablespoons and
add 1/2 cup each of water and wine. Simmer over low heat 1-1/2 hours,
adding water and wine as needed. About 15 minutes before serving, heat
1/2
cup of oil in skillet and pan fry potatoes and additional garlic. When
nearly done add peas and heat through. Remove vegetables with slotted
spoon. Add to chicken just before serving and heat briefly to blend
flavors. There should be enough sauce, of a glaze-like consistency, to
coat the chicken and vegetables lightly. Source unrecorded, wine sort
of optional.

Hi Michael,

A little extreme, sounds like. Of course,
making a journey of that magnitude in those
days would have been arduous in itself even
for the properly nourished.

that last trip home.

Very sad, but the SBC has honored her by naming its annual Christmas
offering to support foreign missionaries (outside North America) for
her. She was able to make friends with the Chinese, especially children,
with her home made sugar cookies.

I probably would have done as my parents wished when I was younger. As a parent, I would have had a good "talk to" with my daughters; one
probably would have respected my point of view and not done something
risky. Other one would have respected my point of view but tried the
risky endevour.

I'll listen for the good stories in among the bad. There are some of the former, yet.

IOW, sounds like an April fool.

Take my word for this one. Remember that

than plain old Kosher and involves a higher

obscure to me.

Obscure probably to all but the very highly educated. The summer that I
worked at a Jewish camp, we (staff) "decided" that the U within a circle (symbol for Kosher) on food containers was the rabbi's thumbprint.

Maybe so, but it would satisfy those that don't like mixed up foods..."Mom, my peas are touching my potatoes and the gravy

is > ML> getting > all over the peas." kind of person. Enough of them

Tolerate, sure. Endorse, no.

Kids can get away with it easier than adults, but the line has to be
firmly drawn for them as well.
