..sorry I digress, and probably put Marin to sleep) :lol:
No problem. When my wife and our friends start talking food and recipes I just start thinking about something else. Maybe what I need to do next in the two books I'm currently working on or even more interesting than that, what the slugs in the yard might be doing for entertainment at the moment.
Don't know if you have slugs down your way, Andy. They are in essence snails without shells. Fascinating creatures with a great sense of humor and very inventive minds. Last year they built a perpetual motion machine under the rhododendron in our back yard. For almost a week it provided power to the irrigation system they'd built to make their favorite plants grow faster. When I realized what it was and how it worked I went to get my camera to take photos so I could reproduce the thing and make millions but while I was in the house my wife threw a stick for our dog to fetch and he ran right through the machine and scattered its parts all over the place. I'm hoping they'll build another one this summer.
Oh good, I see you've stopped writing about cooking. Silly, outmoded topic. Just pick up the phone, dial a number, say what you want to eat, they bring it, you eat it, end of story. I think the single greatest achievement worldwide in the 20th century is the total elimination of the need to waste time cooking food and the even more idiotic activity, cleaning up afterwards. And then, of course, the truly staggering stupid human trick--- you do it all over again just a few hours later.
Anything you want from burgers to pizza to veal cutlet cordon bleu you can get by dialing a phone or driving up to a window. If there was an equally quick, easy, efficient, and cheap way of doing the same thing out on a boat life would be perfect.
