Better to lift the window shade a notch over closed than to totally succumb to the dreaded movie; it is true that raising the shade all the way and letting in the universe is apparently an antisocial act. I suppose I am behind the times, do seats have individual vcrs behind them now?

Now and again, I really enjoy something sweet and creamy. Usually however, I'm more of a lover of horseradish.

Horseradish I adore, and we had some with cold sliced roast beef last night. Also, my pal's friend came back from France with a lot of smoked garlic, the bulbs artfully woven on a string, onion-fashion. So now I've got four or five large bulbs; has anyone any suggestion as to what best to do with French smoked garlic?

Garlic is somthing I like to add to meats as a prep for cooking, Garlic on a Perdue Oven Stuffer Roaster with my specal blend of other spices is a meat serving for about 4 people.

People seem to enjoy the individual screens on most longhaul flights now, to answer Osso's question a few posts back. I'm terrified of looking out so I'm much happier watching a movie or even reading or sleeping.

Sleeping on a plane is something that I've never been able to do. I always like to look out a window, even though there is not much to see save clouds.

Clouds form interesting shapes if you look at them the right way. I am personally very fond of flying.

Flying is getting quite cheaper. In fact, it's cheaper to get to Poland from Birmingham than to go 70 miles away to Milton Keynes and random places like that.

That is ridiculous, isn't it? It is cheaper for me to go from Stansted Airport to Pisa than from Totnes to Stansted Airport.

'Airport' is, if I recall correctly, another one of these tedious shows about 'real' people. The characters' hideous mundaness has been known to make those with dispositions sensitive to boredom to avoid planes for life.

Orient seems so exotic. I do hope Clary enjoys her trip and keeps us informed of her adventures.

Adventures, possibly not really - but I shall try to contact McT's cousin's daughter for a lunch! And I hope to get to Laos this time but only have about 3 - 5 days to do it in.

In this life, to echo McTag, one should make the most of every opportunity. I do hope that you get to Laos-- have you a Visa ready?

ReadY? No, but they are easy to purchase at the border if you go in at the Vientiane crossing.

Crossing is easy, I hope. There's nothing more surreal than being interrogated in Lao.

Lao is probably as difficult as Thai. But the natives are said to be friendly.

Friendly people are happy. It is nice to be important, it is more important to be nice.

<Clary, Bourdain's Cooks Tour keeps going back to Vietnam and Cambodia, can't remember if he did Laos. I read him after you, you both went to the place that started with B.
Eh, you can write your own. But please keep us up on it as you can.>

Nice is a word I grew up with and didn't learn until rather late in the game that it had become some sort of tongue in cheek notice for putting nonsensient people in place. I retain a wish to have the word be innocent of sardonic color.
