I like with tofu, or cottage cheese... Wife was aghast the first time she
saw me do it. But then she tried and realized 'not bad'

Lately, I really enjoy a hearty amount of garlic... Don't need a press.
Not fancy store bought one anyway. Just press with a fork!

That sounds great to me, Jill. I've been planning to make basically the
same meal for a long time now. My only difference would be to add tons of
basil, and fresh if it's available.

This is also the time that I make a salad to go with it, right on the
plate. With spaghetti and lasagna only, this is when I use the old cheapy
mayo-ketchup mix dressing. For some reason, I love that taste mixed in with
the spaghetti sauce.

Actually, that would be "To boil water, take pot, add water..."

Yes, I do have a problem. More than one, in fact. It takes several
attempts to get your reply to return in a reply. I finally gave up
and just highlighted everything to reply and get it all. I definitely
have options about what to do. It's rather drastic and I'd rather not
take that road but if I have to, I will.

In a rush tonight. Chef boy r dee, overstuffed ravioli. Only kids like this
stuff.

Added marinara sauce, black pepper, oregano, mrs dash, garlic powder, olive
oil.
Three shakes habanero pepper. Filling, with toasted bread with lots of
olive oil.

We didn't have the overstuffed when I was a kid. But I used to eat the
regular canned stuff with Kraft Parmesan on top and some dried parsley. I
can't even imagine eating it now. Once I made my own ravioli there was just
no comparison.

Only if the water was salted. Or maybe some of that buggy King Arthur flour
was added!

That sounds like a problem with *your* newsreader. I see quoted text, no
problem. And all I have to do is hit "Reply All" and voila! I'm at the
bottom of a post.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with this version of Windows Mail. I miss
Outlook Express w/OE quotefix! But hey, when you buy a new computer they
don't give you the option.

At least I can read and post. I don't know what the hell Thunderbird did
but I couldn't read or d/l any posts to/from RFC. Other ng's worked just
fine. It pissed me off so I uninstalled it. Bits and pieces of it are
still hanging around. I expect when I uninstall a program it will remove
all traces. Not the case with Thunderbird. I ran a backup and could
clearly see some pieces of Thunderbird are still there.

Sorry, sf, but I'm not going to *buy* a newsreader. Agent or otherwise.
