If you cannot find anybody to whom you can apologize, please, feel
free to do so with me. If possible, grovel a little bit, just to make
me feel important. Thank you very much, I need cheering up. )

Oh, I'm sure I need to apologize to you! I know I've done
something wrong. I am not worthy of you, I told you that before,
so groveling is superfluous.

Oh, thank you, that was really good! I felt badly for you, when when
I noticed that you had no apologizees (good word!) lining up for your
apologies. As it turns out, I am the one who came out greatly cheered
up. Or, perhaps I feel so much better, because I am finishing the
wine in the bottle from last night's dinner. A nice California
Zinfandel. Doctor's orders, you know. )

Heavens, you do not need to thank me. I am the one who is in debt to
you. Thank you, again.

Nancy, I love you. This is proper groveling. Of course, you could
have said that you feel lower than sage, but we are not doing herbs
yet. I like sage less than anything else. Except for licorice and
pop corn. Boy, did you make me feel good. And important. Thank you.

Please, yes, take all of it, every little kernel of Popcorn I may ever
be offered.

You may also have all the beer, all the coke (the kind to drink), all
other sodas and all Champagne. If I drink something, it has to be
dead, not jump around in my mouth. I have never had a whole glass of
beer or soda. Champagne tastes like rotten Ginger Ale.

While we are at it, take any caviar that may come my way. It is a
tricky kind of food, looking like perfectly good blackberry jam and
tasting like spoiled fish. Salty spoiled fish. A big disappointment.

Truly, If I did not eat it before I was five or six years old, it is
not likely that I will like it now. I had my first real cup of coffee
when I was forty and in the following year I started to drink wine and
booze. Now I have to make up for all the years I missed.

There was a restaurant we used to pass by, when my husband was still
alive, The Ground Round and they served freshly popped popcorn as a
freebie. It was such a nauseating smell, Erich would make sure to
make a detour, so I would not have to encounter the hated aroma.

You're a sweet and generous soul. Popcorn is my very favorite food.

Oh, no thank you. I'll stick with water. I don't much care for
carbonated or sweet drinks, except occasionally for a change, and I
just cannot stand the taste of alcohol at all.

You're giving me caviar and popcorn? I owe you a very very nice
dinner when you someday end up in Berkeley. :-)

When my sister was pregnant, she could not stand the smell or taste of
popcorn or coffee -- it couldn't be made in the same house or she
would spend the day in agony. Strangely, she practically lived on my
tacos -- both beef-and-potato and garlicky bean tacos. I must have
made those things every day for about six months.

I may have been offered the *wrong* champagnes at times and a very
fine ones at other times, but I just do not like anything bubbly.
Except for Bubble Paper, which I love to pop.

My late husband, Marcel and I once had dinner at a popular restaurant
with a famous food critic, the critic's physician and the doctor's wife.

We had more attention from the owner than I wanted (the critic was the
center of attention, not I or anybody else at the table) and when the
main course was finished, the owner came to our table once more,
carefully carrying two bottles of champagne. It must have been
something special, because both the critic and the doctor happily
anticipated the opening and pouring of the drinks. The owner called
for an extra chair and asked whether he could join us and have the
complimentary champagne with us. The first glass was offered to me.
I declined. I will not try to tell you what happened next, but I
finally took a sip. It tasted just as spoiled as any I ever tried.

And the little pellets burst in your mouth, spraying the inside of the
mouth with evil tasting briny stuff. You do not think that I
actually ever tasted Sushi? I was going to taste a Taco in 2007, but
I changed my mind.

You got it. Of course, I'm now having delightful visions of an all-out

Who told you beer was good? Use vinegar on dark hair, lemon on light.
Beer is good for bread and chili not hair.

Beer is for any color hair. Dried Chamomile blossoms for light brown
and blond hair and tea for a sick tummy. Dried Linden Blossoms are
also good as tea.

At least, that is what my mother used to tell me. Once a week she
would buy a small bottle of beer and pour a couple of ounces into a
cup, so that it could get stale. Then she would say: " No sense
wasting the rest of the beer", pour it into a glass and have it for
lunch with a sandwich. When she washed her hair later on, she would
use the stale beer for the last rinse.

I've also heard of using stale beer......which I would *never* do of
course!!


But these sites confirm that beer is also good for other than
drinking...... along with many other things!!

Thanks for the memories Margaret.

I remember the pre gel, blow dryer days when we'd open a beer and let
it sit out and go flat. After shampooing and rinsing our hair we'd
pour the beer on our hair and put it up in curlers, then we'd sit for
what seemed forever under those horrid bonnet hair dryers.

Yes, a very wise woman who probably looked forward to her weekly glass
of beer. Instead of feeling guilty for having a drink, she felt
great, because she was not wasting perfectly good beer. I am starting
to understand, too. )
