Its a gamble, I tell ya. Never lived in an apartment. Bought my first house when I was 20 a few months before we got married. Long before I retired, no rent, no mortgage, no beholding to someone else. I guess renting is OK if you don't want responsibility. |

Chinese cuisine has been around for around 4,000 years so there you go. Europeans were cultivating and enjoying pineapple 150 years before they were even *introduced* into Hawaii - by the Spanish... "Spanish" = "European" B-) -- GM |

I eat so much fish that I can swim around underwater for 20 minutes before coming up for air. For lunch today, we had fish and chips. I think the fish was mahimahi, My daughter had fried calamari and a fish taco. Yesterday I had some ahi sashimi and baby octopus, my daughter and wife had misoyaki butterfish.

Tossed it out, it was that > bad. Agreed. Mayo vs. butter on grilled cheese is a nonsensical comparison. Mayo is made with egg yolks whisked with with oil, vinegar or lemon juice. No relation to butter. Some people might like it but for me, when it comes to grilled cheese sandwiches, only butter on the bread will do. Jill |

Parbleu! ah, this is a personal campaign... :) considering i love bluecheeses of many kinds a bit of slightly rancid tasting butter probably would not be an issue. however, i also like yogurts and other fermented dairy foods. i've never tried KG. no plans to do it either, but if someone has some i'd give it a try. songbird |
