That's a risk you can take. It won't kill ya!

And thatâEURTMs exactly what I would tell potential customers. The other
stuff may be terrific and tastier than mine, but itâEURTMs not the real
thing. This ersatz item, way better and cheaper than mine, is not the real
thing.
We have Holland tulips and neighborhood tulips that look and last better, but
theyâEURTMre not the real thing.

This "everything" you speak of is a flawed concept. I've always wanted to
try a pizza crust with cream cheese, lox and capers. What´s not to like? I
think I could make that! I would have to make gravlax, because I can´t
afford the amount of lox it would take, but gravlax is easy.

I like all pizzas, loaded or sparce. Red or white. Just depends on the
mood I'm in.

I've never heard of cheese with cranberries but you could add them yourself.

A slice of apple is good with cheese and crackers.
You like apples, don't you?

Why do you need an interview? If you were offered the job, just say "I
accept your offer." Done.
 
Of course, that is a big "if".
 
If "if" was a horse, we could all go for a ride.

I don't need constant company but aside from Justin, I haven't much of
anyone during the pandemic. Saw one friend one time, just to take her a
book. Saw my mom twice, for about two minutes each time. My brother once,
his wife twice. And the various BFs a few times. Saw Angela more than
anyone, but didn't even see her once a week. You might not be a social
person. I am. I like seeing people. I can't stand watchint TV or movies.
There is nothing more mind numbing. I do read. I read very fast so buying
books is expensive!
 
I don't know what you mean about someone else approving ingredients. I did
show him some of what I bought. Peri Peri and Piri Piri. He said those were
the wrong things and the correct term in Swahili is Pili Pili. A search
turned up a musical group. A couple of foods did show up as Peri Pweri.
Dunno.

I don't really like cut flowers. I certainly wasn't looking for those.
Meeting in a parking lot was really our only choice. Worked for me. Don't
care if you don't like it or found it sad. We had a lot of laughs. Nothing
sad about that.

I´ll be damned. I didn´t think anyone made it. So there were only 818
beds available when elderly covid patients were shoveled into nursing homes.
It seems the Comfort sailed into a sea of red tape, local, state and
national.
Red tape is what bureaucrats produce best.

It´s a shame that we are where we are. Both sides are to blame. I can´t
foresee a solution. My social, culinary and political thoughts haven´t
changed a whit since 1970, so you know where I stand.

I´m hanging in there for the time being, but I´ve been up for 17 hours,

Lol. You'd need a lot of reinfections to get 20 million total cases
per million people.

Hopefully, vaccines are the solution. But then you get kooks who'll
refuse it. Anyway, that's alright if they can't infect people who've
taken it.

A few months ago I bought the e-book version of a book on the English Civil
War and its aftermath. Just after finishing it, I was looking through the
"to read" pile of books I have, only to find that I had bought the
hard-cover version some months before:-(

Got mine in 3rd grade. Don't have to wear them all the time, just when
I want to see.
 
How long ago did you try the multi-focal? They have made a lot of
improvements in how they work over the years. I really like them, also
with Transitions for the sun. I hated having to swap for prescription
sunglasses. They change much faster than in the past too.

Heck, if I'd known you wanted that book (Red Badge of Courage) I could
have mailed it to you. After my father died I found that book in his
bedside table.

You're not up to date, they are finding many younger people suffer
long term effects from covid. In any event, someone who has to go to
work etc. should have priority over moi.

So far (she said, crossing her fingers) the Smeg dual-fuel cooker we
bought last year has been performing well.

I have a thin Martin Yan cleaver and a heavy Henckel´s cleaver. I was
literally too stupid to think about either of them when I thin cut leftover
Christmas tenderloin with a chef´s knife for sandwiches. The Yan cleaver
would have been ideal. Next time!
