->  RH> Oh well.  I can still get wooden box tea here.  The loose oolong
comes
->  RH> in metal tins, which makes sense.
-> 
-> He got some in (tea) bags at Whole Foods Market today.  Have to keep
-> looking for metal tins.

If you want it, I can throw a box in the mail.  No biggie.  
 
-> -> test; both will be dredged in flour, egg & bread crumbs, then fried.
I'm
-> -> not expecting too much of a difference in taste.
-> 
->  RH> I threw some in a pan tonight with onion, garlic, and jarred
spaghetti
->  RH> sauce.  It wasn't quite cooked enough for me, but it tasted good.
-> 
-> Kind of crisp-tender? That's how I cooked them yesterday.  No real

Pretty much, with a side of remaining tough skin.  Tasted good though.

> difference in taste between the regular purple and the purple & white
-> striped.

The asian striped ones are different, but only marginally.
 
->  RH> Just let the sucker get a little infected and it'll pop loose just
->  RH> fine.(G)
-> 
-> It did get a bit infected but doing better now.  Doctor wants to see him
-> back in 3 weeks.  We'll see if this is the final time the toe is worked
-> on in Steve's life time. (G)

Argggh.  
 
->  RH> The scent of slow-roasted piggy would cure a vegetarian.(G)
-> 
-> Some people are of that opinion.  I've not been a total vegetarian so
-> not had to try that experiment. I did have to eat lots of bbq in lots of
-> places in my quest to find another place as good as eastern NC bbq. (G)
-> 
We'll go vegetarian at the Second Coming, if then.  

->  RH> I could go for that.  I've had it in Indian food too; it was great.
->  RH> No clue what they did to it, but there was no slime.
-> 
-> Sounds good to me.  It's also good in a mix of tomatoes, corn & okra
-> (found canned in grocery stores), with a bit of sausage and served over
-> rice.

As long as it's not a snot pod at that point.
 
->  RH> (chuckle) You're preaching to the converted.  My grandmother came
from
->  RH> up that way, and my mother has cousins all over the place.
-> 
-> Steve and I grew up there so it's a "no brainer" for us.

I remember.  It's the out of towners who get the surprise.  Upstate is
total Middle America, or rural America in spots.
 
->  RH> No need.  Husbands are actually easier to train in some respects.
-> 
-> A discreet poke with the elbow into ribs while telling him to roll over
-> usually worked for me before Steve got his CPAP machine. (G)
-> 
Now the sound puts both of you out?
 
-> -> I was thinking of the gummy worms. They're pretty flexible too.
-> 
->  RH> They ought to be; they're made of pectin, gelatin, or something
->  RH> similar.  I love gummy peaches, but will cheerfully eat a worm or
->  RH> three.
-> 
-> Probably without the sound effects a 5 year old Deborah did once. "She
-> bit off my head, ow--that hurts" and so forth.  Steve had a hard time
-> driving, he was laughing so hard.

Now that you've given me the idea....(G)
