Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: catspaw49 Date: 01 Jul 09 - 05:22 PM Tongue with Mustard-Horseradish Sauce Recipe Posted by danky in Recipes on 01 4th, 2009 | no responses Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 3 1/2 hr Serves 6. INGREDIENTS for tongue 1(3‚-lb) fresh beef tongue 1large onion, sliced 6garlic cloves, smashed 1bay leaf 1whole star anise 1/2teaspoon black peppercorns 2tablespoons salt for sauce 1/4cup chopped shallot (1 large) 2tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/2tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4cup heavy cream 2tablespoons whole-grain dijon mustard 1tablespoon bottled horseradish 1tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1tablespoon chopped fresh dill 1/2teaspoon fresh lemon juice DIRECTIONS Cook tongue: Rinse tongue well with cold water and place in a deep 6- to 8-quart pot. Add cold water to cover by 3 inches, then add remaining tongue ingredients. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Simmer, partially covered, until tongue isfork-tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Transfer tongue to a cutting board (reserve 1‚ cups cooking liquid) and, when cool enough to handle, peel off skin and trim any fat or gristle. Skim off fat from cooking liquid and pour liquid through a paper-towel–lined sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Keep tongue warm, covered. Make sauce: Cook shallot in butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until softened. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking,1 minute. Gradually whisk in reserved cooking liquid and cream, then bring to a boil, whisking. Simmer sauce, whisking, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in mustard, horseradish, herbs, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Slice tongue and serve with sauce. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Dorothy Parshall Date: 01 Jul 09 - 05:34 PM Spaw: You could not get me to ingest that mess if I were hogtied. Jacqui: one of my favs is: melted cheese in an iron fry pan, quickly add and scramble in eggs, when eggs are cooked satisfactorily, add applesauce. Use your own amounts. It's Swiss. Everybody says "WHAT!" Go suffer! I looked askance when my friend cooked it 20 plus years ago but.... |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: jacqui.c Date: 01 Jul 09 - 06:30 PM Well, he managed a bowl of chicken soup, even though he said it was tasteless, AND a piece of the steak that I cooked for me. (I did extra 'cause I had a feeling that he would want some). I have more steak in the fridge for tomorrow night.............. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: maeve Date: 01 Jul 09 - 06:42 PM Hurrah and huzzah, Jacqui. Good news. See? That protein powder Spaw mentioned is so powerful it got Kendall to eat even without consuming the admittedly non-delicious-but-nutritious stuff. maeve |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: kendall Date: 01 Jul 09 - 07:32 PM An old friend came to visit me today and it should have been obvious to anyone that I didn't care what he did with the shavings of a stump or half a dozen other things that dont amount to a cane hole in a cow flap. This guy is a Leo and of course, it's all about him. When I didn't respond he suggested that I'm FRAIL!! I will have to square him away, but I know he will never admit being wrong. I've known him for over 50 years and I've never heard him admit being wrong about anything. He often shoots from the hip with nowhere near enough information to speak about the problem at hand.When it became obvious that I was not interested, he left. Reminded me of John Wayne in the film Hondo. His advice to a young man, "Never apologize; it's a sign of weakness." To me, it's a sign of insecurity in someone who knows he's full of shit but can't face it.He often gets up my nose, but this time he went to far. He's the frail one and I have to figure out how to shoot him down without killing him. Any ideas? |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: ranger1 Date: 01 Jul 09 - 08:45 PM Hmm...I think you mmay be on the mend, Cap'n. You seem to be crabby as hell. Not that I blame you, mind. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Fortunato Date: 01 Jul 09 - 08:46 PM Just ask when was the last time he got layed... |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Amos Date: 01 Jul 09 - 08:53 PM Write him a letter including every blue comment you thought of, and say he can eat the note if he ain't too goddamned frail. A |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Amos Date: 01 Jul 09 - 08:55 PM Or throw your banjo through his windshield and tell him "Frail that, you second-rate spawn of a sour-faced spalpeen!" A |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Jeri Date: 01 Jul 09 - 09:43 PM Tell him you're too weak to mow the lawn, wax the car or... you know. See how much stuff you can get him to do before he frails himself. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Deckman Date: 01 Jul 09 - 09:51 PM Kendall ... I've got a brother that's REAL HUNGRY. For fifty bucks, he'll take out a knee. If that's too much money for you, for twenty five bucks he'll notch an ear! Just trying to help. bob |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Rapparee Date: 01 Jul 09 - 09:53 PM Well, how much do you REALLY like the guy? If you do actually like him, gently correct him (a 2x4 generally works pretty well, or a bullet an inch from his right ear). If you really don't care for him, crabpots need bait. If you don't give a shit one way or the other, agree with him and see if he'll give you money. |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Midchuck Date: 01 Jul 09 - 09:57 PM Expanding on Fortunato's thought, ask him if it's true that he recently visited the local womens' prison with a handful of blank pardons, and still didn't get laid. Peter. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: jacqui.c Date: 02 Jul 09 - 07:52 AM Nice thoughts guys, but this is a fella that, given the opportunity, will spout forth on ANY subject under the sun, including the state of his sex life. It's best not to get him started on anything. He's a nice guy and very intelligent - just a bit short on commonsense in situations like this. |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: maeve Date: 02 Jul 09 - 07:59 AM Good morning, Jacqui. Sometimes certain visitors don't help. I know the two of you will sort it out regarding the person in question. maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: SINSULL Date: 02 Jul 09 - 08:28 AM He is Kendall's oldest friend, if it is who I think it is. Isn't his wife recovering from hip surgery? Cut him some slack, Captain. He probably hasn't gotten a word in edgewise since last Saturday. Frail??? I see a contest in our future. I think we should start with the backhoe. Survivor gets to re-tin the roof...what do you think, Jacqui? |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: kendall Date: 02 Jul 09 - 08:45 AM He is a dear old friend and I would hate to lose him. The best way to handle such things is to simply us "I" words instead of "You" words. You piss me off when you do...there can only be one response, upping the ante. I get pissed off when you say..... I have owned the problem. It's my problem, not his. Naturally, being a man, my first response is "Go fry your ass you f*****g know it all" "A boor is someone who takes away your solitude but provides no company" |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Jeri Date: 02 Jul 09 - 08:52 AM Mary, what are the tickets going for? I can bring popcorn. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Tinker Date: 02 Jul 09 - 09:08 AM I'll bring the lemonade... hot work watching the men work |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: SINSULL Date: 02 Jul 09 - 09:22 AM Better wait until Jacqui leaves for the UK otherwise we'll all be backhoed into the basement. Hard lemonade, right? It may be hot where you are Tinker but here in Maine it hasn't broken 70 in weeks and the sun simply does not exist. Tin rooves in a thunderstorm - this could be interesting. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: olddude Date: 02 Jul 09 - 09:46 AM Sometime with friends when they don't know what to say, will say things that drive us nuts. The next time tell him something like. Thanks if I wanted to be more upset and depressed I would simply turn on the TV and watch the news ... Friends make us laugh when we are sick, others don't know what to say and then spout out something that is crazy. One of mine came in after I had a pulmonary embolism and told me how I should be dead cause most don't live through them. Wow what a help, and went on and on ... another friend came in and I swear I laughed my way out of the hospital with all of his crazy stories. Needless to say I prefer the laugh cause they don't know what to do or say thinking they are helping. Just correct him the next time with that wonderful humor you have to set him straight if he is a good friend who only gets on your nerves from time to time. He probably didn't mean to say anything to upset you, just is at a loss for words so he spouts out anything. I have been there captain |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: ClaireBear Date: 02 Jul 09 - 10:31 AM If he's a dear old friend and you'd hate to lose him, you might start your truth-speaking with something like this: "You know, you're a dear old friend and I would hate to lose you, but I must warn you that I'm gonna throw a rod if you..." Or you could just set the resident termagant on him, with Seamus supplying backup. Love to all three of you! Claire |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: EBarnacle Date: 02 Jul 09 - 10:42 AM Consider adding Maple Syrup to the shakes, or maybe some vanilla. A nice way of dealing with excess positivism is the old child question: How do you know?, repeated to the point where he runs out of information, false or otherwise. At some point, he either has to admit he does not know or get so ridiculous that he might as well admit to it. It's worth a laugh, anyway. "Why?" also works. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: kendall Date: 02 Jul 09 - 11:25 AM Nothing weas working at that moment, including my wit. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Becca72 Date: 02 Jul 09 - 11:48 AM If it's who I think it is, I'm just glad I wasn't there. The man never shuts UP! And his wife is just a PITA. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: DonMeixner Date: 02 Jul 09 - 11:59 AM Jeepers Kendall, how do we get so lucky, you and I, to have outspoken daughters with the same name? And the same nickname. Spellage is different tho'. You can't stop some people from meaning well and being so boorish at the same time. I think it is a skill but I'm not sure. I always find some place I have to go right away when ever they are at my door. " How can I miss you if you won't leave?" Don |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: kendall Date: 02 Jul 09 - 12:12 PM I usually appreciate his company but I had no energy to spare coping with his "Pollyanna" horse shit. |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: SINSULL Date: 02 Jul 09 - 12:13 PM Have to admit, Captain, I have never seen you quite as testy as you have been the past few weeks. I figure it is best to speak only when spoken to...and then with great care. Your friend is a good man and a good friend. He is a "Maine character" much like yourself but not of the laconic kind. Much like a handyman you and I both know. Some people are afraid of silence. You will manage to make your point and presevre your friendship. Meantime, keep Jacqui close by to preserve the peace...with a frying pan if necessary. Now don't go out digging a new well or cutting down a 50' tree just to prove to yourself that you are not frail. He may have been referring to your mind... CELLAR! I'm out of here. |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: SINSULL Date: 02 Jul 09 - 12:15 PM Pollyanna horseshit? And I was going to ask Tinker to make lemonade. Guess I better not... Going downstairs now. |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Rapparee Date: 02 Jul 09 - 12:23 PM Oh, Kendall, everything is going to be okay. Sure, you're feeling bad right now, but that's all that we can expect from such a frail old man like you. Have some nice soft, bland cookies and a little bit of weak tea and you'll be fine. And take a minute to appreciate all the goodness of Nature that surrounds you and your loving friends. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: jacqui.c Date: 02 Jul 09 - 12:45 PM Rap - the cellar might be the safest place for you right now! |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: SINSULL Date: 02 Jul 09 - 01:01 PM Cookies? He's diabetic. I think some nice warm milk sop and gruel to keep him regular. I don't know about the walker - with Seamus underfoot it might be used as a lethal weapon. If life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Move over Rap. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: olddude Date: 02 Jul 09 - 01:11 PM I will bring me guitar to the cellar |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Rapparee Date: 02 Jul 09 - 01:16 PM But...if life gives you lemonade you can't make lemons, can you? |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Dan Schatz Date: 02 Jul 09 - 01:26 PM It sounds like a great jam session is gearing up in the cellar, and the ticket is a small quantity of Pollyanna horse manure - so may I say, Kendall, that everything happens for the best, and this is all part of the plan. I'll bring the autoharp and a banjo. I frail. Dan |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 02 Jul 09 - 01:38 PM Sounds like you're describing undiagnosed Asperger syndrome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome.
Asperger syndrome (AS) is also called Asperger's syndrome, Asperger (or Asperger's) disorder, or just Asperger's. It is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy.[3] Fifty years later, AS was standardized as a diagnosis, but questions about many aspects remain.[4] For example, there is lingering doubt about the distinction between AS and high-functioning autism (HFA);[5] partly because of this, the prevalence of AS is not firmly established. The exact cause is unknown, although research supports the likelihood of a genetic basis; brain imaging techniques have not identified a clear common pathology.[1] There is no single treatment for Asperger syndrome, and the effectiveness of particular interventions is supported by only limited data.[1] Intervention is aimed at improving symptoms and function. The mainstay of management is behavioral therapy, focusing on specific deficits to address poor communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness.[6] Most individuals with AS can improve over time, but difficulties with communication, social adjustment and independent living continue into adulthood.[4] Some researchers and people with AS have advocated a shift in attitudes toward the view that AS is a difference, rather than a disability that must be treated or cured.[7] You'll have to go to the Wikipedia link above to get the footnotes, but this is a fairly succinct description. There many be nothing you can do that will get the response you want. SRS |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: kendall Date: 02 Jul 09 - 04:39 PM For the past three days I have lived on ice cream and banana frappes. Loaded with sugar, yet my glucose is always around 110 to 120 in the morning. It drops during the day. My blood pressure is normal and I've stopped losing weight. Looks to me like all my problems are food based. If I just stop eating they will all go away. |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Becca72 Date: 02 Jul 09 - 05:23 PM That's because you were misdiagnosed as diabetic.... 1 or 2 high sugar readings does not a disease make. |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: kendall Date: 02 Jul 09 - 07:37 PM I wonder why they set the normal at 100? |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Leadfingers Date: 02 Jul 09 - 07:52 PM Shame that cellar is so far away - I could add a whistle to the Jam Session ! |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Rapparee Date: 02 Jul 09 - 09:41 PM Because it's easy to work from, Kendall. Sort of like the boiling point of water in Celsius is 100 degrees. They probably took the blood sugars of about ten thousand people without diabetes and set the average at 100. |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Janie Date: 02 Jul 09 - 11:00 PM Ain't nuttin' frail about that man but his male ego! (Clear the stairs, I'm coming down.) |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: Peg Date: 03 Jul 09 - 11:08 PM Kendall, let me know when you'll be at Albany Med, I can swing by for a visit. I'll be sure to bring something fattening with me. |

Subject: RE: Kendall - update (June 2009) From: nutty Date: 04 Jul 09 - 03:57 AM I'm not sure what Type of diabetic you are Kendal but I'm assuming that you are Type 2 and possibly on tablets Your drop in blood sugar during the day is purely based on exercise. Your body is using more glucose (as energy) than you are taking in as food. Your overnight readings could be normal FOR YOU, OR If you are taking tablets - and take them first thing in the morning - their effect could be wearing off overnight. Try taking them at midday and see what happens, If you are taking tablets there are two kinds ,,,,,,,, One encourages the pancreas to produce more insulin The other encourages the body to use the insulin produced more effectively. If not already on both - you may need to change. I apologise if I am totally off beam with my assumptions but it's taken me 13 years to sort out my own needs as a diabetic so I know it's not easy. |
