===============================
Hi Michael,

 ML> submission and alpha beta nonsense. What I've heard about the
 ML> Israeli kibbutzes, there was considerable success, but couples
 ML> who started out no strings attached often ended up monogamous
 ML> and committed.
 RH> Can't help but have strings attached after a bit of time.

 ML> I appreciate that, but I also appreciate those for whom strings
 ML> don't stick, or work, or something. Me, I have many thinner ones,

I understand, we all have some thick strings, some thin, and probably
the majority somewhere in between the 2.

 ML> some of considerable length, though.

As we all do, some even overlap.


 ML> I'm going to "test" the system twice in the next couple months;
 ML> I anticipate both myself and the system as passing.
 RH> Fun and joy of modern technology. Where are you heading to next?

 ML> Philly, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, and then Panmunjom. As a
 ML> civilian, of course, otherwise I wouldn't be so eager to go there.

The obvious question--will you eat Seoul food in Seoul? (G) Enjoy your
travels but watch out for that cyclone about to hit the Phillipines.

 RH> Sounds like a test, but giving 2 boarding passes?

 ML> A not-so-well-executed test. Today's test involved having the
 ML> general public try the system out, only they weren't properly
 ML> briefed, so they removed their laptops, jackets, shoes, cell
 ML> phones, what have you, meaning that the line went no faster
 ML> than the regular line, and the people were given no clue what
 ML> makes this system faster and better than the other. I took it
 ML> on myself to educate the guy in front of me, which the TSA
 ML> failed to do, despite about 5 of them standing there doing
 ML> precisely nothing.

 ML>   The failed one
 RH> should come with a note on it to see someone who can clarify the
 RH> situation or just jot a big OK on it. Modern technology at its finest.

 ML> My GE failure did just that; we'll see what happens next time.
 ML> The PreCheck failure just dumps me into the general line, at
 ML> the head, which strikes me as somewhat weird. Now, for the last
 ML> few weeks, the success or failure gets preprinted onto the
 ML> boarding pass, so such embarrassments are avoided.

Don't see us flying any time soon so hopefully all bugs will be out of
the system by the time we do travel that way again.


 ML>       Title: Shepards Pie
 RH> Illiterate shepherd's or just those that write up the recipe.

 ML> Heh.

 ML>  My dad,
 RH> the old newspaperman, cringed when he saw the menu board. At one time
 RH> he would have taken to task whoever wrote it up for misspelling. He's
 RH> aged beyond that now but still doesn't like to see it.

 ML> Would that new newspapermen were so well educated.

I know; I get so irritated at the common errors foisted on us by lack of
good proof reading. A lot of it is due to the use of computers but even
before they became common in the newsroom, the dumbing down of the
educational system contributed many an error to the newspapers of the
country.


 ML> Nepali Mango Ice-cream
 ML> categories: Nepal, sweet
 ML> Yield: 1 batch

 ML> 2 c half and half cream
 ML> 2 c whole milk
 ML> 1 c khuwa (milk solids)
 ML> 1 Tb cardamom seeds
 ML> 1 c mango pulp
 ML> 1 c sugar
 ML> 1 c ripe mango chunks for garnish

Looks interesting. we've made mango sorbet a number of times since we
got our ice cream maker a few years ago. Last time we did, we were
cooking for Life Group and planning on ice cream for dessert. We've a 2
year old in the group who's allergic to milk so we brought in some
sorbet for him. He enjoyed it as the rest of us ate our ice cream.
