Usually I'd agree, but this was made for Anne.
Remember that one of her Uncles passed away
on your last visit....well in the last three weeks,
two more of her Uncles have expired, one of them
was her Godfather and almost a spitting image
of her lad dad. Been very rough on her and 
she needed some serious comfort food. 
Adding pork while delish...would have not
been on her "comfort" level. 

->  -> People have me pegged, though: I asked for 200 g of
->  -> roast bacon
->  HN> Was it like our bacon or different?
-> 
-> Pork belly salted with five-spice salt on the surface
-> for not a huge length of time, so limited penetration.
-> Not smoked or aged much. Roasted over an open fire (gas
-> nowadays, alas) until the meat is tender and the outside
-> is crispy.
->
I'm not the greatest fan of 5 spice...but
that does sound good!
 
->  -> I don't like toads of any variety.
->  HN> I just don't like the nematodes.
->  HN> Bufo isn't bad if you don't eat em! 
-> 
-> Nematodes are probably okay if you don't eat them.
->
Yeh, but nematodes have other ways of 
getting into your system...the little buggers!

->  HN> Well there sure were some "Trophy Wives"
-> 
-> At my 35th reunion last year, there were bunches of
-> trophy wives, and I talked to some of them, and they
-> seemed pretty nice on the whole: not particularly
-> golddiggerly (though they'd already dug their gold!);
-> professional women, perhaps proteges in some cases,
-> chosen for their competency and intelligence as well
-> as their looks. It was interesting too to see quite a
-> number of original wives.
->
I did not get to speak to any of these. 
Still had a great time though. This weekend 
was "Fan Fest" and it was bitter cold. So cold
infact that we had snow in the ballpark! The roof
was closed but the wind still blew in flakes by the 
bazillions. Lots of folks came out regardless and 
a superb time was had by all...including me I had
so much fun it's a shame to take money for it...
but I will! (grin)
