Subj : Minced Garlic To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Jan 01 2020 08:51:00 Hi Nancy! BM>>> Yes, sometimes eating a whole item or bunch of items before an BM>>> extended time away can be a problem. I'll admit to liking a garlic BM>>> sandwich every so often, but two or three times in a week - uh, no. BM>>> Even wolfing down a bunch of grapes every day to get rid of them can BM>>> be a bit much in a short period. NB>>> If it's extended travel, I'd likely bring it along, and figure I'd NB>>> use or eat it while away.... Grapes make a good trip nibble, for NB>>> instance... BM>> True: bite-sized, no peel nor stone to discard. If pluck from the BM>> stem ahead of time don't have to be concerned with disposal of that. BM>> And presuming the seedless grapes; swallowing the occasional seed is BM>> OK but probably don't want to eat too many. NB>> Generally red seedless grapes around here... :) And I tend to NB>> just leave on the stem... not that big a deal to dispose of it... BM> True: usually a trash can readily available. NB> Yup... at one end of the trip or other... ;) And usually in-between. BM>> ...Which sort of reminded me: my Mother said she saw seven BM>> wild turkeys in her front yard last Sunday. Was going to take a BM>> picture but too dark outside (she still uses a film camera), plus BM>> opening the door to go outside would have probably scared them off. NB>> She had to let them go...? That would have been quite the NB>> sight, though... and dusk is when it's more likely to happen... :) BM> I think it was dusk - though years ago there was a wild turkey in the BM> back yard here; saw him before I was going to work Sunday morning. NB> True, pre-dawn also tends to be that dimmer light that animals NB> tend to roam in... :) True: possibly blend in a little better wth the longer shadows too. BM>>>> There are two things (so far!) I haven't found in my car's manual. BM>>>> One is what to me looks like an antenna symbol followed my a NB> lower-case BM>>>> italic 'm' icon on the radio's panel -- NB> sometimes on, sometimes off, BM>>>> sometimes flickers but NB> doesn't seem to coordinate with anything. BM>>>> Obviously NB> something to do with a signal. Manual covers numerous radio BM>>>> options the car can have. (And yes, factory-installed radio.) NB>>>> e NB> saw something like that on one of the cars that I rented NB> this NB>>>> year... never did figure out what it meant.... wasn't NB> in that NB>>>> car's manual, either... :) BM>>> Good: not just me! :) NB>>> I guess some things we just aren't meant to understand... BM>> Or figure out what the function is! NB>> Unless someone else ends up volunteering that info somewhere down NB>> the road.... BM> So I need to start asking strangers... NB> They probably don't know either... ;) But I might create a pool of people who would ask others and the others might ask others, and eventually might found someone with a reasonable guess. Now to figure a way to get that information back to me...... NB> ... Who needs veggies or nutrition? Bring on the luscious fat! Deep fried Brussel Sprouts on a stick! ...Sort of looks like a Tootsie Roll! ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
