-> were worthless for language, so-so for culture (taught them the same
-> basic thing every year).
 hn> ->
 hn> We lived "on the economy", although it was an area of

 hn> that is a high noise environment and
 hn> there are a lot of hearing  impaired
 hn> folk who get hired there...noise doesn't

-> It's not all recipes; it talks a lot about the low carb/high glycemic

-> but you may find some new recipies.

 hn> We already have several Rodale books so I know
 hn> the quality of their information. We used to subscribe
