ML> The state of the news. Afghanistan. Iraq. Health care reform.
ML> A plane breaks up on landing and injures 80 people. So what's
ML> dominating the coverage? Tiger Woods. 

I get most of my news from New England Cable News' website and
from Google News.  In both cases, I don't click the "Entertainment"
tabs, so I hardly get to hear about Mr. Woods' pathetic saga.

Money + ego + power.  It's an old story with new characters.  People
never seem to tire of salacious pap.

ML> After Courtney and Doug left, yesterday I discovered a
ML> couple interesting left-behinds, including a beef shinbone
ML> (6" length thereof), labeled "soup bone 2.49/lb." I reflected
ML> on the gall of charging more than bottom round for a soup
ML> bone and the silliness of paying same (using MY money,
ML> which they also used to buy milk), but then I thought,
ML> marrow bone. In the oven for half an hour at 350, and I had
ML> 6 oz of the finest, richest marrow, which I proceeded to
ML> devour on thin thin slices of baguette, topped with a
ML> sprinkle of sea salt. If you read this, I will not have
ML> died from this meal.

Marrow bones are nearly useless for sou because there's never 
enough meat clinging to them to give any real flavor.  Marrow
bones on their own, though, cut and prepared the way you 
describe, are a decadent pleasure now sadly unappreciated by
most people.

ML> Report on prescription -> diuretic hydrochlorothiazide. 
ML> It doesn't work. What does work? Beer, and lots of it.

I sort of question the beer thing.  Don't you mostly lose
what you're taking in to begin with?

Also, have you tried furosemide/lasix?  Works for me, I
piss all damn day on 40mg.  Stuff's cheap too.

ML> Guess what I have to make for Christmas dinner? Paella.
ML> Here's Gordon Ramsay's take. . .

I watched Gordo make his paella on an episode of Kitchen 
Nightmares, on the beach at some vacation resort, while he was
teaching the recipe to the kitchen staff.  He handed out
cups of the stuff to passers-by.  His looked good.  I bet yours
is at least as good if not better.
