Thanks Ice,
For recognizing and celebrating my decrepitude. At 67, I see old people, ha. Some days I feel I am at that "new 50" you hear about, others it's the new 87. My experience is that old people are more congenial, less hurried.
Early homo sapiens sapiens were, as the description said, by necessity omnivores, eat anything they could to stay alive. If you lose your taste buds from med treatment they almost always come back. The first to come back is bitter. The theory is that bitter was most important in letting you know not to eat something. Young monkeys who have not been taught still fall dead from trees from eating the wrong stuff. Vegetarianism is a sort of modern choice--though grains have been the staple of history--and doubtless you, with modern nutritional knowledge, you can live well or better than meat eaters. I take the fifth, with mustard, onions, and chili, but most often meatless.
I have a coffee thought too, as I just bought a new stove-top percolator for $13.00 yesterday. Don't have room for a machine in the RV, and if dry camping, no electric, so I use an old fashioned stove-top percolator. I like to see the color change in the little glass bulb on top. Problem is, all the "on sale' hermaphroditically sealed coffees are drip, and a lot of the major brands, and the grind is so fine, a lot of coffee silt ends up in my cup, so I have to use the expensive "grind these beans" machines and set them to perc. I'm going to look online and find some cheaper deals on perc grind..
Good ones Ice,
