I'll give Thai food a try - I think ...


Really their isn't nothing gross about it from what I have had. It was really good. In San Francisco you can find any kind of food, we are not short of places to go to have it. You could eat 100 or more years in different places and never run out of places to go.

Come on Julie come up with some India food. I love Mexican FOOD BIG TIME but I'm game for something different. some of this food I can't even spell and don't want to feel like fool.



I like Thai food better, it's spicier than Indian food and more refined.
Been a while since I ate Mexican food, like it a lot though!



Oh I like Thai food too, some of it was so so and other's out of this world. Depends who is making it.



That's true. Best place to eat something is in its country of origin I guess.


Curry is ok but for some reason it seems to upset my stomach if it's too much. Mexican food won't, it must be something in it.

Kidneys, like everything else, has to be cooked right. Overcooked it is like leather, done right it can be quite nice.

I am with you on that Bill. It is all about how you can cover up the taste and not overcook it.
She was a killer cook and evenso, I have lot of her things, just not her recipes. Sniff, but then, nobody would eat them except me and my Father.

Well my mother sure must have, it was like leather when I was a kid. Might have used them for sole repair in the shoes too. LOL Oh she was a good cook but she had a few things that she cooked that was hard to take.

Here is one for you people in the UK, we had a cereal I was told might have come from the UK called shreds as a kid. It was made of oats, what we had seemed like you could put a spoonful in a bowl and it drank up quart of milk. (not really but seemed that way). I was told the recipe came from the UK but was made by G.L.F in Up state NY for years also and to me was darn good.

Yeah, like Liver for My Mother, shoe leather would have been more tender and tasty, but Dad liked it, so theirs no accounting for taste...

Well for someone who was raised on raw milk and like so much it's your choice. But maybe it's your system not to drink it. But it's funny though how your system tells either you don't need that or stay away from some foods.

As a kid I drank full cream milk straight down from pint bottles. I couldn't do it now. I only have semi skimmed in my tea these days. I don't think I'm lactose intolerant or react to dairy foods, but I just don't like it any more.


At this point I'm doing ok in that part and dairy foods are still a plus but Doc say's 2%? oh man it's like cutting your legs off. It's like you can't have fish and chips but you can eat the paper. :(

Due to the calcium loss from my skeleton, caused by myeloma, I drink pints of full fat milk. As well as chewing 3 1500mg calcium tablets daily, and monthly go for a calcium drip.

The Osteo consultant tells me the bone is being plated with new calcium, but the bone strength will never recover from it's current weakened state.

Why not take statins from your GP. There is no prescription charge for you, and 40 mg 1 daily tablet does wonders.

My cholesterol dropped from 6.7 to 3.4 inside a month, and is still there.

Ok, I guess I should clarify. I hate the taste of straight milk. I like it in my Coffeee, off course mixed with Chocolate, or some rich cream over a piece of Pie.
And a bunch of other stuff.
I guess this might compare to plain Liver to others or Brusselspeouts to the Goat.

Hate Milk.

Hate is such a strong word, dislike might do. Me I don't dislike milk, I just can't have any as I'm trying not to gain any weight, ice cream once or twice a month is bad enough, I think I have lost some, cause I can now easily reach around a part of My back that I wasn't able to before. Breakfast is now eggs and sausage.

Going back to overcooked kidneys:

I think it was a generational thing. Both my Dutch mother-in-law and my Saskatchewan raised mother learned that you cooked food to kill the germs. If you had some flavour left over, good. If you didn't, shut up and eat it anyway.

That's true. Best place to eat something is in its country of origin I guess.


Funny how McDonalds changes the menus like in Hawaii they even serve rice and I have heard other's like Japan and so on put a twist to the meals. I don't stop there often I can't handle the grease and salt. I wonder how Taco Bell does in China? :)



We only have McDonalds here, no Burger King, Taco Bell or Jack in the Box. We also have the Belgian counterpart of McDonalds which is called 'Quick'. In Holland they do have Burger King though.

In Yermo, We have Jack in the Box, Burger Den(in the Original location of the 1st Del Taco restaurant), Peggy Sue's 50's Diner, Calico Ghost Town and there's a smaller diner near the Jack in the Box that I've been passed that I don't know the name of... But that's all for Yermo, Barstow has more, McDonalds, Burger King, Jack in the Box, 3-DelTaco's, Taco Bell, KFC, Wendys, Sizzler, Ihop, PizzaHut, Little Caesars, Domino's Pizza, etc, etc...

Isn't Barstow a small town or is it spot in the road to fill up?

It's a town with around 20,000 in population that has two freeways passing through town, plus there are 4 other communities around Barstow and yes a lot of traffic passes through on the way to NV and to AZ or to LA in the other direction. Barstow has a good number of truck stops too, not to mention the UPRR and the BNSF Rwy.

I knew where it was and know they some good quakes there but never passed through it. I go to Phoenix once in a while but Barstow isn't on my stop list. I did take a look at google map after a wrote it and found it much bigger than I thought. P.S. never got and A in spelling in school but by the time I hit 80 I might master it just a few years away. :)
