I don't think that was the general method--you wouldn't want a male

the female, even if she's not of his group. There are times, tho, when
the female might be "asking for" the bashing, however but those are the exception to the rule.

Not to mention Henry IV, Part I.

Why would that be - scenty roses look good ehough.
Maybe they are "hypoallergenic" flowers?

A rose should have some scent to it, doesn't make sense not to, IMO. Same as most other flowers, tho some are a bit too strong for me.

I just try to be sensible and stay away from strongly scented flower or
other scents. We were in Lowe's (hardware) the other day, walked past a
lady that had way too much perfume on---even Steve commented on it.

example of such overperfumage.

True, because most often it's just a hint of the real story, and a
whopping amount of "embellishment".

I'd just as soon there were no claimed basis in
reality, and that was that.

Ahh, yeah. It was like going into a building
labeled "supermarket" and finding oneself in a
whorehouse. For sure not worth the time/effort
unless one were actually looking for a whorehouse.

I'd rather find a warehouse--especially one full of fabric or food.

It's often good to bite a tongue or two.

Fresh blood perhaps, too.

That has occured from time to time as well, tho I try to avoid it.

blood flowed."

Good tagline there.

If one bothers with taglines. I always thought them
supernumerary. Oh.

OK, the law says you have to make reasonable
accommodation for the handicapped, such as
the blind and to a lesser extent the deaf,
but it should not be difficult to identify
those in need. In future, though, AI should
be able to work at least as well as a seeing-
eye dog; I certainly hope that's true by the
time I go totally blind and daft.

I think it'll be a bit before AI is developed enough to fully take the
place of a well trained dog. Used to be, that was about the only service animal you would see; now it seems they're available for most every form
of disability.

I think the capability is already there, and the
cost would be less.

Never figured out the appeal of those Pop guys -
Warhol, Oldenburg, Rauschenberg, anythingburg.

Probably most appealing to those "spaced out" enough they had lost
contact with reality for the time being. OTOH, Peter Max may have used brighter colors and suchlike, but he was more in tune with reality, IMO.

I forgot about Peter Max but at the time thought
he was the strangest of the lot, actually.

I ever even saw it clearly. On, it might have
been a case of Brillo.

Somebody planning a major clean up?

If I'd fallen over and busted the thing, maybe.

Tacu tacu

Probably so, but if Steve doesn't want cilantro, I don't cook with it.

Votevver.

Title: Astakos Plaki - Lobster in Tomato Sauce with Saffron Rice
Categories: Ethnic, Fish/sea, Rice/grains, Sauces, Greek, Newfie feast
Yield: 4 servings

2 Lobsters (about 2 lbs each) 4 Sun-dried tomatoes
(in oil)
- (live, or recently dead) - pounded to a paste
25 Saffron strands; soaked in 1/2 c White wine
1/4 c Hot water 1/4 c Orange juice
1/4 lb Finely chopped onion 1 Bay leaf
1 md Leek; washed, finely chopped Salt & freshly ground Pepper
8 tb Fruity olive oil 1/2 c Finely chopped Fennel
3 Garlic cloves; minced 1/2 c Minced flat-leaf
Parsley
1 lb Tomatoes; skinned, seeded, 1 tb Finely chopped fresh
Mint
- and finely chopped Saffron Rice

If you have live lobsters, plunge them into a pan of boiling water for 1
minute, then into cold water.

To prepare the lobsters, break off the claws and crack them open with a
hammer. Cut off the tip of the tail (with the fins), then sever the tail
where it joins the head with a heavy knife. Cut the tail into rings,
slicing through the shell between the ribs.

Split the head open lengthwise with a hard blow of a knife and remove and
discard the gritty stomach sac. Pour the coral (if any) and the green
matter (which is the liver) into a stainer over a bowl, sprinkle with
salt
and pepper, and reserve. Put the saffron to soak.

In a heavy-bottomed pan big-enough to contain the lobsters and sauce, fry
the onion and leek gently in 3 tablespoons olive oil until translucent.
Add
the garlic, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and liquid, wine, orange
juice,
and bay leaf. Season and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

Add the fennel, parsley, mint, saffron and liquid, and lobster tail
pieces
and claws with their shells (but not the legs) and simmer, covered, for
10
minutes.

In the meantime push the coral and liver of the lobster through the
strainer and beat the puree with the remaining olive oil. When the
lobster
has simmered for 10 minutes, ladle out about 1 cup sauce and beat this
into
the coral puree. Pour this back into the pot, stir, and simmer for
another
10 minutes. Serve with saffron rice.

Now-a-days, you would see the cartoon with the woman dragging the man by
the hair. But, let's let this thread drop, for the time being, and move
on.

Not to mention Henry IV, Part I.

True, but Old English and Middle English had to develop, then die before Shakespear's English came into useage.

Why would that be - scenty roses look good ehough.

I think it was in a Kmart where I gagged on an
example of such overperfumage.

I can't hardly take going down the detergents and other cleaning
products aisle of a grocery store. Garden shops with the plant foods and pesticides are another area I try to avoid. All of the above are just as
bad as a heavily perfumed person walking by.

I'd just as soon there were no claimed basis in

Makes it easier to enjoy the story for what it is, instead of trying to
figure out what was actual reality, what was made up.

Some of them actually relate to the discussion, in a wry (not rye) sort
of way.

It's getting there, not to the point of being common place.

Strange, but you could usually figure ut what his subject was. Some of
the others, like Jackson Pollack, it was impossible.

I ever even saw it clearly. On, it might have

Whatever keeps him happy, if it's no cilantro, that's easy as I don't
care for too much of it either. OTOH, if it's coffee--he makes it
himself. If it's brussels sprouts, cooked is out for him (but I like
them that way, unless they're cooked to mush). He will eat them raw,
thin sliced, in a salad.
