I have a few unaided face to face, such as Kevin and a half dozen
local friends and relatives, but quite a few more who are plane-aided.
The heat detector guns, like the ones fired at me in the Hong Kong
airport, would be of some assistance in detecting the already infected
carriers of superbugs.

Almost all of my fbfs are relatives, with a few friends.  Some are
Skypers, others e-mailers and SMSers, and a couple almost entirely
phoners.  Two sometimes write letters.  I haven't had a typed letter
for years and years; I am tempted to puzzle young people by sending
them one, to see if they can work out how it is produced.

I haven't been to a Catholic mass for years, but as far as I know they
still use alcoholic wine here, made at the Sevenhills winery.  As a
child I once went to a Baptist service, where grape juice was used.

By using the small "c", I included them in my assessment.

As a child I thought they were interesting for a change, but nothing

      8 sl Dark bread
 
  By cookbook author, Carol Field. Cut the eggs into rough chunks. Tear
  or cut the arugula leaves into rough strips. Mix together the arugula,
  mushrooms and eggs in a salad bowl. Beat together the lemon juice and
  oil. Season with salt, and then pour over the prepared mixture. Taste
  for seasoning before grinding any fresh pepper, because arugula can
  be very peppery tasting. Spoon the mixture onto the bread slices and
  serve. Serves 8 URL: http://sfgate.com MM Format by Dave Drum - 24
