 DS> As you know, Gail's favorite (almost only) fish is salmon.  On our

Salmon is a strong and distinct flavor, and I'd get tired
of it after a few such meals. On the other hand, beef is a
strong and distinct flavor, and I don't get tired of it,
ever; I seem to recall doing the obvious experiment for the
benefit of the doubters on this echo, a decade or more ago,
and though I essentially ate just a pound or two of beef a
day and nothing else for a couple weeks, I looked forward
to every meal. The experiment was to have lasted a month,
but I gave up early not because I was tired of beef, but
because my pocketbook was feeling abused.

 DS> Title: Fire Balls

Speaking of which, Fire Bull, the grilled meat place in
Peabody where we once went during an echo picnic, is no
more. Too bad, but I hadn't been there in quite a while,
and when I went past with a friend, it was turned into an
Irish pub or something like that.

 DS> 12 oz Jalape+o peppers, canned

This is how the nya character comes out after many
translations.

 DS> 4. Using a lightly greased skillet, brown sausage balls until the
 DS> sausage is thoroughly cooked, turning several times.

I'd be inclined to deep-fry these or at least shallow-fry
them in oil to come up at least halfway - a lightly greased
skillet wouldn't provide enough heat contact for me to be
comfortable, plus it would take a lot longer to brown the
things on all sides.

 RH> How many years worth of pictures is that? Used to, we'd download and

Lilli, who takes a lot of photos, says that it's better to
keep one's pics on the card than on the computer, but I don't
believe that, because there are two additional possibilities
for disaster in her way - the card can go bad, and I figure
all portable storage is dodgier than most stationary; but
also, the camera can get lifted just like that, whereas a
computer (especially a desktop) is I figure somewhat less
stealable.

 DS> Since I don't have a color printer, I just download them to my
 DS> computer for later viewing.  I underestimated the number my card will
 DS> hold. Yesterday I transferred 19 spring cherry blossum pictures to my
 DS> computer and based on the SD card size and the space those 19 used
 DS> there, I now estimate that the card would hold about 7500 pictures. 
 DS> I've never had it get much above 400.  If we are on a trip, main thing
 DS> is to make sure that I have spare batteries and a battery charger.

I'm using Annie's camera (not very well, I may add - I did a
lot better with the 1 or 2 Megapixel one that I used to borrow).
Anyhow, the card inside is 4 Gig, and I can get 2000 pictures
on it, because I have set the camera to a high resolution, with
each shot using up 2 Meg.

 DS> BTW, for some reason neither my message nor your reply are shown in
 DS> the messages display at Docsplace, although others I uploaded in the
 DS> same package are shown on the listing.  Ditto with some of Michael's
 DS> messages.  His 511,
 DS> 512 and 513 are there but 514 and 515 are not.  Considering that I
 DS> believe he uploads his REP packet to Docsplace -- even more strange,
 DS> since they obviously got out from there since I received them here.

So those numbers come in handy after all once in a while.
