Currently a non-practising vegetarian. The cycling trip did me in. I would have eaten anything, generally a kilo of pasta or potatoes per meal, along with any bits of cheese, dead animals, or even greenery that got in my way.

But even as a practising vegetarian, I was a fish-eating apostate.

I am now ready to go gallivanting in beautiful downtown Lake Geneva with my daughter-in-law. We will have haircuts and we will act as Chicago tourists--we will take a boat excursion to see the beautiful lake homes, have lunch, and see the gift and clothes shops.

Sounds cool Mago.

Fish, the only fish I'll eat is trout, wild river trout. Nice mild taste, and all the better when you've caught it yourself.

I love cold pizza. My favorite pizza is from a local place we go...it's called a Chaobella. He puts ricotta cheese, basil, proscuitto, and paper-thin sliced Roma tomatoes on it and sprinkles just a little bit of mozzerella over it all.

10420. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:03:11 AM

That sounds good. Proscuitto is a kind of parma type ham, or am I wrong?

10421. judithathome - 7/20/2004 12:09:32 AM

Right...it's wonderful.

I guess you could use regular smoked ham...it's just a nice touch that he uses the proscuitto.

I have even dreamed about that pizza! I only have it about once every six months. I'm sure I could eat it every day but that wouldn't be wise.

10422. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:17:11 AM

I don't eat pizza much myself. Nice when I do through.

10423. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:17:33 AM

"though"

10424. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:18:57 AM

I do eat paella regularly, but without the snails.

Ah, pizza! The worst pizza I ever had was still better than a whack with a hammer.


I could not eat my Thom Kah Gai last night because I still haven't picked up the microwave from the old joint nor have I found my saucepans so there was no way to re-heat it. Instead I ate a couple of cold pieces of chicken satay.

Hauled another load of empty boxes out for recycling. I took things a little bit easier last night than I have been but I still got quite a bit done. I've about talked myself into the red regardless of how hard it is to cover later.

Last thing I'm going to look into is paper. If I can find the right color and it's easy to put up and take down then I'll paper instead of paint.

10426. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:22:57 AM

Really? I can't abide paper myself.

10427. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 12:24:19 AM

Call me crazy, but it seems to me that there would be a market for wallpaper that didn't have to be glued down all over the place. Say a big roll of butcher paper with a colored or patterened side that could be attached at the edges but wouldn't require steaming and the like to get it off later.

Or perhaps there is such a product and I just haven't come across it.

Time to Google.

10428. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 12:25:45 AM

I prefer paint to paper, but it's not my house and there's only so much effort I want to put into it when I leave.

But I really really want red walls.

You could rent the room to a slaughter house for a week or so.

Well, if I was nearby I'd be happy to help, but instead I'll have to shout encouragement from across the Atlantic ocean.

See you tomorrow.

Brick Oven Pizza in Baltimore is the bomb. Try their caper, artichoke, cherry peppers and mushroom pizza if you get there. The fact that you can see the open hearth with the wood burning in it adds to the touch, and the pizza was just superb (tho Woden tells me that Matthew's Pizza in Baltimore is much mo' betta).

Usually tho I just make my own.

Red Walls Do Not Sound Relaxing To Me.

10434. angel-five - 7/20/2004 12:58:07 AM

Back to pizza -- Yes, anything goes on a pizza, but I'm not much for fish on pizza. Clams, crab, langostinos, all good. Fish I'll leave for ser Connor.
