Hi Michael,

 RH> oil, vinegar, Italian seasoning and pepper as dressing. They went with
 RH> a Penn Dutch potato salad and small steak (I think NY strip, Lowe's
 RH> bargain bin find).

 ML> Bargain bins are mostly a good thing for beef. Vegetables,
 ML> perhaps one might think twice. Pork, too, as the fishy smell
 ML> comes out with age.

We've gotten a good number of meats from the bargain bin. They also have
a section in the back of the store with some mark downs--scored a dozen
Kind (brand) dark chocolate chili almond bars there today. In the front
mark down area I got a bag of mixed quinoa with sprouted brown rice.

 ML> Periodically the TSA goes on a Michael-persecution jag, as it
 ML> decides that my travel patterns are nonstandard enough to warrant
 ML> scrutiny. That's when I get pulled over for the random secondary
 ML> numerous times in a row. I don't want any more irritation than I
 ML> get anyway, and sharps are right out.
 RH> OK, I understand. I've had the secondary screening a few times, most
 RH> recently when the shirt I wore had metallic threads in it. Wore that
 RH> on our way to LV, NV a few years ago, but not on the return trip. (G)

 ML> I figure I've had some version of secondary upward of
 ML> a hundred times. Some of them are little more than
 ML> pro forma; some a bit obtrusive.

Considering how often you're in the air, that may be about par. I've had
the secondary a few times, usually something I'm wearing sets off
alarms. So far, the hardware in my wrists and elbow has been more of an
incidental contributor toward setting off alarms.


 ML> Cilantro is one of the easiest flavors to hate but also to
 ML> substitute for. Any kind of parsley will do; of course, some
 ML> of the more flavorsome parsleys might be almost as troubling
 RH> We've got parsley in our herb garden so will consider using it,
 RH> instead of cilantro in some recipies.

 ML> If you want to add a greeny flavor, which I seldom do,
 ML> it's a fine thing - beats that aspect that even the
 ML> more genteel food writers of the twentieth century used
 ML> to refer to as "fetid."

I'd rather not add a fetid flavor, thank you very much.

 ML> This one, not something either of us is likely to fix,
 ML> would not be detracted from by omitting certain of the
 ML> herbs. Not that you'd care much, but the alcohols
 ML> could be substituted with other tasty liquids.

 ML> Black cod with cherries and cauliflower
 ML> Categories: fancy, fish, main
 ML> Serves: 4

No, just not something I can see either of us doing.
