Hi Dave,

 DD> Or sausage, or ribs, or pulled pork, etc, etc, Maybe they're Jewish or
 DD> Muslim instead of being in thrall to the Pope and his minions.

 RH> At this point, it's anybody's guess.

 DD> I was being facetious.

 RH> Aren't we all at some time or other?

 DD> Sometimes by intention rather than by mistake.

And sometimes more by mistake than intention.

 RH> We had a very enjoyable meal at the other place. The one we wanted was
 RH> a local place under new ownership so my siblings in law wanted to see
 RH> how much it had changed, for better or worse.

 DD> The enjoyable meal being the point, after all.

Kinda like if you've ever watched the tv show "Blue Bloods" and the
family dinner that is always the last scene.


 DD> Despite feeding on offal and garbage rats are very clean animals avows
 DD> he, who has raised rats (for laboratories) and kept a couple of their
 DD> close relatives as pets when younger.

 RH> I'd still rather not have street rat.

 DD> I, as well. The relatives I kept as pets were a gerbil and a hamster.
 DD> I'd not care to eat one of them either. But I learned a lot about rats
 DD> as food after reading a semi-autobiographical neval titled "KIng Rat"
 DD> by James Clavell. Set it a WWII southeast Asian POW camp. I was
 DD> inspired to do research to satisfy my curiosity.

I've got that book on my shelf--kinda creeps me out.

 DD> Rats got a bad rap back in the middle ages for causing bubonic
 RH>  plague. DD> But it was their hitchhikers, the fleas, which were the
 RH>  vectore for DD> the plague.

 RH> I'd still rather have a cat or dog for pet than rat.

 DD> Me, too if I'm being honest.

All things considered, I think I'd rather have a cat over a dog, 99% of
the time. There are times when a dog is better but nothing like a cat
curled up on your lap, motor going a mile a minute.......


 DD>       Title: Dog Pooch Munchies
 DD>  Categories: Breads, Pork, Cheese, Eggs
 DD>       Yield: 6 Servings


 DD>   These are alleged to be "doggie treats". They will make
 DD>   pretty decent "people treats" as well. -- UDD

My sister in law has several dog treat recipies making the same
disclaimer. One of her daughters has a springer spaniel that mom and dad
have to "babysit" on a semi regular basis so she makes the treats, keeps
half and gives the other half to her daughter for the dog.

We'll be on the road again starting Saturday. Travel will be dicey until
we leave the VT/eastern NY area so I will not be responding to mail
until the early part of next week when we should be safely home.
