Unless we really screw up, there will be centuries,
perhaps millennia, for further investigation.

But likely we won't be around to know about it... :)

Not my problem, as people are fond of saying.

Essentially my point... (G)

Yes ... I was paraphrasing you, not me.
My own position may be similar but not
identical.

If that's far-fetched, then I'd think that the idea that they are
learning how to dump humans into reach intentionally is likewise
not all that likely... :)

The issue is that the better they cope, the
worse it is for general human-based order. As
you know, it has been said that we are to have
dominion over the beasts, and even if that's
not a moral imperative, it's in our best
interests to behave as though it were.

No argument there... :)

Hah - now it's mountain lions eating
bicyclists.

I much prefer the navels to tangelos anyway.... :)

For me it depends on the individual orange.

I've had more excellent navels than I have had tangelos.... but yes, excellence does tend to be more on the individual level... :)

This tree made oranges that it's worth
a squirrel risking its life for.

Or for a human to wish to share, sounds like... ;)

Perhaps.

I don't know - even we often fixate on something
lost or hard to get when there are lots of easier
to acquire things that are just as good.

But I WANT the two in the bush... (G)

A candidate for tagline of the year.

(How'd you guess that came from my tagfile...? [g]) Seemed appropriate, anyway... ;)

It's human nature to want the two in
the bush.

seriously what would have happened by now
if I'd taken the hospice route rather than
the extreme measures one.

No real way to tell now... you might have managed to survive well nonetheless, and confounded the staff... or we might now be missing
you indeed... I'm just as glad you're still around.... ;)

Thanks. I do, too, most of the time.

I hear you on that... :)

Doing the stairs is getting hard again.

One can hope for the best... but I guess I'm not all that hopeful, either...

I read: One can hope for the beer, which is an
acknowledgment, I suppose, that there is no hope;
it also points to how the breweries kept long-term
employees without paying excessive salaries.

Share the profits/product with them, eh...? :)

Easier and cheaper to share product, I
reckon - they could probably take the
beer allowance as a business expense at
full retail.

Dale seems to be pushing for having it nearish Newark this year... and
it seems as though it might not be too hard to have it fall into
place...

It looks that way, especially if we can keep Burt
and Butch in the picture thereby. And if the Hafflys
will be around more or less, and Sean can do 3 hr
from Williamsport, let's make it a go.

OK. (And I'll try not to do a Ford, and suddenly realize that it is overwhelming after all... [G])

One could understand his reactions to the
influences on him. There's the wish to
still be part of this little community
but balanced against the practicalities,
especially the concerns for Butch's health.

Indian Meatballs
Categories: poultry, appetizer, main
Yield: 30 to 32 small meatballs

1/4 c canola oil
1 sm yellow onion, finely chopped (3/4 c)
3 md cloves garlic, chopped
2 ts curry powder
1/4 ts salt
1/4 ts freshly ground black pepper
1 lb ground chicken
3/4 c plain fresh bread crumbs
1 lg egg, lightly beaten
1/4 c chopped cilantro leaves and stems
12 oz medium-hot curry simmer sauce
- such as Seeds of Change Jalfrezi
14 oz low-fat coconut milk
1/2 c low-sodium chicken broth
nonstick cooking oil spray

Consider these a version of Indian kofta or Swedish
meatballs with a twist. Ground turkey can be
substituted, but ground chicken is more delicate
here. Served over basmati rice and topped with
toasted sliced almonds, the meatballs make a great
main course.

Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high
heat until the oil shimmers. Add the onion and cook
for 5 min, until softened and lightly colored. Add
the garlic, curry powder, salt and pepper; cook for
30 sec to allow the curry to become fragrant.
Transfer the mixture to a small bowl to cool.

Position an oven rack 4 to 6 in from the top broiler
element; preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking
sheet with aluminum foil. Use nonstick cooking oil
spray to grease the foil.

Combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg,
cilantro and cooled onion mixture in a large bowl;
mix well. Wet your hands as needed, then use the
mixture to form small walnut-size meatballs,
placing them on the lined baking sheet as you work.
Spray the meatballs generously with nonstick
cooking oil spray.

Place the baking sheet with meatballs on the top
oven rack and broil for 7 min; there's no need to
turn them to broil on other sides. They will not
be cooked through.

Transfer to a large saucepan. Add the simmer sauce,
coconut milk and broth; stir gently to combine.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce
the heat to medium-low, cover and cook gently for
30 min, until the sauce has thickened and the
meatballs are cooked through.

Transfer to a slow cooker or chafing dish; serve warm.

Make Ahead. The cooked meatballs can be cooled,
covered and refrigerated a day in advance or frozen
for up to 3 weeks. Reheat in a saucepan on the
stove over low heat until warmed through, then
transfer to a chafing dish or slow cooker to
keep warm.

It's not the first time they've done so... nor is it likely to be the
last...

Indeed. Daddy always used to say, "How American to want more"... but
I'm sure he'd've been willing to substitute other nationalities there
as well... ;)

I know... :) And I think it a very good idea to try to incorporate
them as much as possible when we can... :) Burt does think that Lydia's
may be well within reach for them... she's partway to Newark, though a
bit south of that as well as Rochester... :)
