As a matter of fact, such an understanding carries with it the peril of standing in for what it refers to, a classic case of eating the menu instead of the meal! Can I invite you out to lunch in Shanghai tomorrow? No use for the menu, since we can't read it anyway, and very good food!!

(oh I forgot, Mark is a chef and does all the cooking around here lately..., it is the best menu-less food I've ever had. The REAL thing!!)

Has Mark gotten used to metric units in the kitchen, or is he one of those effortless chefs who never has to measure anything on his way to culinary perfection? :-) http://come.to/realization http://www.atman.net/realization http://www.users.uniserve.com/~samuel/brucemrg.htm http://www.users.uniserve.com/~samuel/brucsong.htm ______________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
