-=> Quoting MICHAEL LOO to ALL on 28 Nov 13  05:33:00 <=-

 ML> Dessert was Tate's Ginger Zinger cookies, a gluten-free
 ML> gingersnap with big chunks of candied ginger baked in: these
 ML> are really very nice.

Something I should look for, sounds like..  :)  Even though I don't need
gluten-free...  :)

 ML> We're having a gluten-free lactose-free refined-sugar-free
 ML> no-hormones-added dinner in a few hours: Rosemary's grandkid
 ML> has shacked up with this guy who has some major dietary
 ML> issues, and they're running an organic farm together, and
 ML> that's where we're going, if anyone can get up the long,
 ML> rutted, muddy road to the place. I'm looking forward to a
 ML> reexamination of the products of the organic free-range
 ML> turkey raising business; not so much to the other things,
 ML> which will involve many interpretations of rice-flour and
 ML> nut-flour pie crusts, soy-based custards with pumpkin,
 ML> and the like. 

At least you shouldn't need much from your stock of pills for the
like...  ;)

 ML> Free trade coffee with dessert of course.

Of course.  :)

 ML> I hope you have a Thanksgiving that is gratifying in
 ML> every way, as I trust mine will be.

Probably the less said about the meal, the better, in our case...  We
were invited over to a friend's, and the company was enjoyable.  She, a
self-proclaimed better conceptualizer than implementer, had planned a
rather classic turkey dinner, but as we arrived (running late for
various reasons) she was still trying to figure out basic aspects of the
serving thereof, to say nothing of the finishing thereof... ;)  Suffice
it to say that it remained edible, and we could honestly compliment her
on pulling it off after all...  :)  I brought over my bottle of the
Macallan, for her to try (she having had some rather less than
satisfactory experimental forays into "the food/drink of my people")...
it met with her approval.  She shared her Drambuie (a fairly new
acquisition) as well...  Dinner was planned for 2pm, we probably got
started eating around 3, and finally left almost 8pm...  Seems a proper
enough Thanksgiving, even if we didn't do the usual overeating... (G)

... All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
