Hi Michael,

 ML> It's called "hedging your bets." Also "if you can't beat
 ML> 'em, join 'em."
 RH> Or "how to increase your profit level".

 ML> Depends on whether they're looking at absolute or
 ML> relative amounts of money - after all, concentrating
 ML> on the branded product will increase the actual level
 ML> of profit ... on the other hand, if they want to have
 ML> a finger in the generic pie, that works by taking the
 ML> money out of the mouths of their competitors.

I fugure that they want to get every bit of money they can from a drug's
active ingredient(s) that they have the patent on so by making both the
name brand and the generic, they accomplish it.  If you make a lot of
thte branded drug but few people buy it, you won't make the money you
would if you made the generic and everybody bought.


 RH> I don't think an occaisional mixing will hurt you; you want to get rid
 RH> of the hurting.

 ML> Oho, Ruth telling me to have a drink, it looks like? [g]
 ML> Anyhow, I've been pretty conservative, as the toxic dose

 ML> the drug companies have told us (big surprise, right?)

What I'm saying is that a lot of those reports concentrate on the mega
long term user of both booze and tylenol; you seem to be in the moderate
range of use on the former and rare user of the latter.  Thus, an
occaisional combining shouldn't be harmful.  OTOH, my mom is one that
could benefit by using more NSAID type drugs for her arthritis but is so
afraid of addiction or other (rare) side effects,that she uses barely
the minimum dosage of tylenol and wonders why it's not doing any good.
I guess the doctor told her recently to up it a bit.

 ML> Waterman's oyster stew
 RH> Looks like it's in "for pretty" since no amount is specified.

 ML> But then why not use sweet paprika?

IIRC, paprika was listed also.  Depends on what "pretty" effect you want
maybe?


 ML>       Title: Szegedin Fish Soup (Halaszle) 2
 ML>  Categories: Starters, Soups, Fish, Hungarian
 ML>       Yield: 6 servings

 ML>       6 lb Fish **
 ML>       6    Onions
 ML>            Salt
 ML>            Noble sweet paprika
 ML>       1 ts Hot paprika

 ML> MMMMM------OPTIONAL-
 ML>            Green paprikas; sliced

Looks like an easy stew--peppers, onions and fish.
