=============================
-> RH> put *mayonnaise* on pizza!  You should definitely stay out of my
local
-> RH> supermarkets; all of the decent ones have olive bars.
-> 
-> Ohh you meamie! I cant get that here.  I'll be in heaven on that one
(and the 
-> cheeses) when I get back stateside.
-> 
-> Here, I have access to canned black olives and jarred green brined ones.  
-> Nothing else. {whimper}
-> 
(gagging noises)  I can get those down, but only on pizza - as long as it's
the kind without the mayo!

-> RH> I've never eaten them, oddly enough.  I might if someone else fixed
th
-> RH> though - there are some kitchen tasks even I won't do.
-> 
-> Well, I've only had them as cookout faire.  Given a choice I'd muchly
like 
-> smelling durian than cooking chitlins but will eat both with glee.

I've done the durian, but never had a chance at the chitlins.  
 
-> RH> Ewww - canned spinach?  Was it as bad as I think it was? 
-> 
-> Nope, we *like* canned spinach.  Ok the fresh is better, but the canned
still 
-> makes me happy-faced.  Canned asparagus suits us too.  It's that
southern 
-> cooking of overboiled veggies syndrome that spells 'comfort food' for
me.

Southern, English, German....  They all boil 'em to death.  I'll put frozen
spinach in recipes, but have never cottoned to the canned stuff.
 
-> I'm not suggesting you eat it though.  I gather you are not fond of it
<g>.  
-> Don hates it too but since Charlotte and I devour a can a eek at least,
he's 
-> gotten used to our foibles just like we got used to his 'fav' canned
creamed 
-> corn stuff.

I used to like that, but I got over it. :)  Green Giant frozen baby corn in
butter sauce on the other hand is a major addiction.
 
-> Well, not so many here on the catholic side.

Connecticut is about 40% Catholic, or was.  I think a lot of those are
nominal.  Of course, as a Baptist, I don't keep track to well of who goes
to Mass. (G)
 
-> RH> I think the Honeymooners have been translated into just about every
-> RH> language that has TV broadcasts.
-> 
-> Havent seen that here at all.  In fact, forgot it existed til you
mentioned it.
-> 
It may not be running now, but you can bet older Japanese would know the
show if you used the Japanese name.  That and I Love Lucy have gone
everywhere.
 
-> RH> I don't think I've even heard of it.  The xenon I know has the
chemica
-> 
-> Hehe well the movie is fun, if you see it at a decent rental price.  Not
sure 
-> they ever made a DVD of it.

I've been seeing Mystery Science Theater 3000 candidates lately.  My public
access channel has taken to running some really horrible sci-fi pictures
recently.  Spaghetti space opera - Italian casts and director under assumed
names, with a few English-speakers in the lead parts.  They're so bad
they're hysterical. 
 
-> When we lived in the Cho, it was too much awkward to return the rentals
on time
-> so we kinda forgot the basehad a rental place for a few years.  We just 
-> recalled it and started using it.  Weekend checkout on Sat means return
on 
-> Monday and that works for us at 1.50$ each. Weekday is next day return
and not 
-> so easy to have to walk over and drop them off.

I just go to the local library and get them free.  No new releases, but no
rental fees - and a 10 cent late fee.  That's when I get around to watching
movies.
