Stu,

OK, you brought up something else that I wondered about.

From their webpage: "Fluzone vaccine contains three inactivated (killed)
influenza viruses: type A (H1N1), type A (H3N2), and type B1,2" (1,2
being footnotations). If you wish, see:

So H1N1 is mysteriously part of the seasonal flu vaccine?

Best,

Andy

Thanksgiving food: mac & cheese?

Cornbread dressing is *much* better known on Thanksgiving. Greens with bacon
is a year-round thing; I'm not aware of any place which traditionally eats
it only on Thanksgiving.

I've lived in Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia in the southern USA, but
I never heard of mac&cheese as a "traditional" Thanksgiving dish until
recently. A friend of mine attended Thanksgiving at the house of her
boyfriend's family in Louisiana. Afterward, she made somewhat-horrified
remarks regarding the mac&cheese, the canned gravy, and the mirliton faux
corn dogs. (She had grown up in Seattle, so this was not *her* tradition by
any stretch of the imagination!)

Mind you, *I* don't see anything wrong with the idea of mac&cheese on
Thanksgiving, and if it fit in with the rest of the menu I'd be perfectly
willing to serve it, but my opinion is not typical because I actively avoid
following tradition most of the time.

It sounds like a palate cleanser to me, Bob. Where would you like a
palate cleanser?

Albertsons they had plenty.

Anyone Know About Indian Spice Blends?

Lou Decruss — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:29:05 GMT

Virginia wrote on Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:48:48 -0500:

Indian grocery stores sell a vast variety of different spice blends for
different purposes, like for example making raita. Tho' people who look
like they are of Indian origin do buy the blends, a major problem is
that the spices will deteriorate with time unlike freshly roasted and
ground home-made mixtures. Indian stores also seem not to pay too much
attention to sell-by dates but the blends can be very useful.

I've seen it in the canned food aisle at the Grocery Outlet, which
usually gets overstock, things close to expiration and irregular items,
so I can't imagine it's missing in the regular grocery stores.

I'm 6'2" so would say I have an 'average' sized mouth....... but when they
tried an endoscopy on me, they just couldn't get it in!!

They had to give me a GA to get it done :-)

Had one of those too. Same doctor, same result as the endoscopy :-)

He told my SO that they usually only have to GA the spastics beccause they
twitch and move around soo much!!

I just said "Didn't you see the tattoo on my arse that says 'Exit
Only'??" :-)

Then it's not the real thing LOL. It should taste equally of salt, sugar

Cornstarch vs. flour in pudding?

Lenona — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:54:13 GMT

"Pudding" in the American sense of the word, that is.

I tried a simple, eggless chocolate pudding cooked with flour and it
seemed to work just as well as cornstarch. Since flour is cheaper,
what's the advantage of cornstarch?

However, vanilla pudding (the same recipe, minus the cocoa) always
burns no matter how careful I am, so I assume using flour wouldn't
help.
