We hit on the same idea at different times.

I've mentioned friends who love sushi but who don't have
any idea what the real stuff is like. Though I've had good
sushi in many of the cosmopolises of the world, I myself
didn't really know what it could be until I had it in a
famous Tokyo restaurant. Anyhow, even good supermarket
sushi isn't really sushi. And almost all of Wegmans' stuff
is artificially colored, which is somewhere between
heinous and heinous.

With the preservation and digitization of as much of our
printed history as possible, the ones who were so bad as
not to merit mention in someone's Master's thesis somewhere
will come to fall into that unenviable category of "forgotten,
not gone."

 But there

If you can't get published, self-publish. Easy as pie.

 NB> Handy for tossing into (what some say is mis-named) quick chili... ;)

I am cold to the idea and just can not do that.

 NB> You certainly can find rationales for visiting interesting places...

Can't spend all one's life as a slug, after all.

 ML> Smoked Garlic & Pumpkin Soup
 NB> And interesting recipes to match...  :)

Or heinous ones.
