The northern Chinese preserve just about everything for the winter, which
might be why they got used to the salt.
White pepper is made from black pepper with the skins removed.

resp:100 yes, of course.

resp:101 That is not completely accurate.  Joy of Cooking, p. 576 (2nd 
ed.)-- "The white is made from the fully ripe berry from which the 
dark outer shell is buffed before the berry is ground... Black pepper 
is obtained from the *underripe, fermented, sun-dried whole berries.*

Looks like we are both right, then.  Thanks for looking this up.

Not just the Chinese did preservation for the winter, the Koreans have
Kimchi from that as well.  Ok, now I want some Korean food...

Had a half-triple walk today:
kaplan, mutsie and barney  started nearly punctually. aruba, danr, and myself
about 5-10 minutes later.  some point thereafter, valerie, janc, arlo and
kendra arrived, and went the other way.  we all met at the dam, and walked
back together along what I'm told is 'the normal route' (counter-clockwise).
Krokus arrived at some rather later point, had his own adventure in the
forest, then retreated to the parking lot to wait for us all.

Ken will do the lunch, because there were several people I can't remember the
names of. . .

(I want to hear more about krokus's adventure in the forest.  Did
it involve bows and arrows and a band of merry men?)

Did he come across a big, green oger and a donkey?

Heffalumps maybe?

Don't know what krokus found last week, but apparently it moved to Gallup this
week and ate everyone.  Arrived shortly after 1030; saw no-one.  Waited till
about 1110, walked up to Geddes Rd, which I reached by 1140; still saw nobody.
Left at 1205. . . .

We've got Valerie's sister & kids visiting this weekend.  We could have
walked, but it would have been three parents to four assorted infants and
toddlers in strollers, and we lacked the gumption.

re 110-112
No meery men, bows, arrows, ogres, donkeys, nor Heffalumps.  Only Woozles.
And a really cute Husky puppy.

Almost forgot to mention, I was going to be at the walk, but I turned
off my alarm clock, instead of hitting "snooze"  Whoops.

I won't be around the next couple of weekends, gotta go work for your
tax money.  :)

other stuff.

resp:109 :: dcat asked me to fill in the lunch attendance from two weeks
ago at Jersalem Garden's porch.   dcat, krokus, kendra, valerie, janc, arlo,
aruba, Carol, Paul (friend of aruba and Carol), and krj.  Paul was just back
from  an extended stay in Japan and so we talked about Japanese music and
culture a lot.

This week: oops, Ayse's Turkish Cafe was closed -- not due to the blackout, 
but for a month-long summer vacation.  My bad.   I taped a note to the door and
we relocated to Cafe Marie.   Attending were, in approximate order of arrival:
mary, scott, arabella, krj, anderyn, bru, dcat, valerie, janc, arlo, kendra.
This was dcat's last visit with us for a while, since he's on his way out
of Ann Arbor this week.
 
(Cafe Marie was the site of arabella's last lunch before she left for Bulgaria
in June, and it turns out to have been her first lunch back as well.  Heh.)

The Mates-Wolter Collective were the only reported walkers.
