And then there's all the varieties of fats that get ignored... and probably just as well... ;)

All fat should be ignored, or at least all
evil rumors about it should.

I'll still stay away from the artificial fats... while enjoying the
natural ones... ;)

Artificial fats are pretty much off the
markets. Unless you mean hydrogenated,
which might straddle the fence between
natural and artificial.

That's true, they did do away with the most egregious ones... but I do
also tend to stay away from the hydrogenated mostly now, too...

Is that diminishing....?

Aside from when I was flat on my back in the
hospital, there hasn't been a time in 50 years
when my capacity for cooking was diminished. I
admit there are times when I don't feel like
doing it, but those are few and far between.

Understandable... I, for one, do enjoy your cooking, and I know there
are others who do as well... :) So I'm glad that you are still up for
it.. ;)

From time to time.

Hopefully not too infrequently....

I've never been a fruit soup person but have
tolerated them well; at least, I seldom die
right after eating one.

Or wish you could.... dunno as I've had any, actually....

Have a soup made with dried fruit and see
what happens. If you've never had the
opportunity, imagine whirled peas, er,
stewed prunes.

That could make an interesting experience.... ;)

3 c Strawberries 1/2 c Sweet white wine
1 c Frozen cherries 1/2 c Light cream

From what my friend said, there probably weren't any cherries in his version, though....

The cherries were probably there to add body
and a little sweetness. Not a bad idea.

I like the idea of cherries, actually... I like them better than strawberries, usually... :)

Funny - my Bonnie can't stand cherries or raisins.
Nicholas hated raisins, so I accused him once of
having eaten a cockroach in his childhood. Lilli
loves raisins.

I like raisins well enough.... when we were kids, we'd joke that the
raisins in our oatmeal were cockroaches, but it never stopped us from
eating them.... ;) To this day, oatmeal seems incomplete without
raisins cooked into it... ;) And butter, brown sugar and milk atop
it... ;)

... For carnival we put masks over our masks.

For carnival some of us take off our masks
the better to eat roast beef with.

A very good idea.... (G)

Or one could wear one of those half masks
that cover the eyes. The Fledermaus that I
probably won't be able to attend is
subsidiarily called The Masked Ball, and
productions cheap out and make blocking easier
by using eye masks, which makes the mistaken
identity bit absurd as well as hilarious.

I'd guess so... Was that what you were going to see in Germany, which
trip is being superceded by necessary tests in CA...? And what are they testing for....?

As a matter of fact, I wasn't. I did catch
a glimpse of one of his buildings yesterday
(and was within 5 miles of his childhood home).

Was that on your Asian trip...?

Lilli pointed out that we could look down on it
from our room in the Conrad Hong Kong (the hotel
is on a hill, the China Bank Tower is at the end
of Garden St., near sea level).

Ah. :)
