Hi Michael,

 ML> Brings forth the question of what the meaning is of an earned
 ML> doctorate.
 RH> I guess you'ld have to go back quite a ways to answer that one.  It
 RH> probably dates back to the Middle Ages when all the academia
 RH> rig-a-ma-role really came into inot it's prime.

 ML> Not the meaning I was looking for. Which relates to the real
 ML> world, rather than the middle ages one (bachelor being someone
 ML> trained in a subject, magister one who had mastered it, and
 ML> a doctor being qualified to teach (docere) it).

OK, difference in interpretaton again.

 RH> I could probably qualify for a PhD in a number of areas. (G)

 ML> Go for it!

But not under modern requirements of hours of expensive classes, a
thesis, etc.  Under a hands on experience type of qualification, I would
have qualifications.  Actually, probably more likely a Master's in
several areas, maybe a Doctorate in one or two.

 RH> Depends on how sloppy I want to eat. (G)  I like the crunchiness of
 RH> hard tacos but don't always want to wear my meal on my shirt.

 ML> That's what bibs, napkins, and dark clothing were made for.


I'd probably go for the lots of napkins option.  Dark clothing shows
foodstains easily, especially if it's solid colored.  A print is less
likely to show it.  A bib isn't always available or practical.


 ML> To be fair, meals that have substantial fried components
 ML> traditionally have acid garnishes to counteract the grease
 ML> - lemons, salsa, relish, those sorts of things.
 RH> Not always.  Go to a fast food place and see how many counter balances
 RH> are easily available.  Usually fries or onion rings are prominantly
 RH> positioned as sides, with salads or such like not as easily found on
 RH> the menu board unless the place is doing an "eat healthy" promotion.

 ML> The modern eating style is a total break from the traditional
 ML> one. Making food fast, using too much fuel, with (though I
 ML> appreciate and possibly couldn't live without this) too much protein
 ML> and fat. This all will end at some point, and eventually people will
 ML> go back to the other way, Ronald McDonald notwithstanding.

In a lot of ways, we're going back to more traditional eating.  Still
eating more fast food than we should but it's quick and (relatively)
inexpensive-what we need sometimes.  At home tho, we're cooking and
eating with more of a concentration on the better for us foods, as
you've probably noticed over the last year or so.


 RH> ate supper at Gramercy Tavern.

 ML> Fairly snazzy jernt. Glad they enjoyed (despite the caveats).

They did, as well as their sidewalk hot dog cart meal.  We took the
grand kids for a train ride, got ice cream at the turn around point.
Steve was holding Sarah with one arm & a cone with the other.  She kept
asking for "bite, bite, bite"--and kept getting them so she ended up
having, and enjoying, a good bit of it.  Cute to watch tho.

 ML> McChicken
 ML> cat: tastealike
 ML> servings: 4

Not as good as Chick-Fil-A tho. (G)
