    It seems that many restaurants have an exclusive contract with pepsi
    or with coke. If you ask for some flavor of coke, the response might well be "is pepsi alright?".

    To which I usually say "no" and ask for water instead.

    Water w/lemon is my standard drink when dining out. And often at home
    if I'm low on tomato juice.

    I'm typing one handed again. Yesterday during a heavy rainstorm I fell
    on the way into the house. Ended up breaking 2 bones in my right hand
    and my left kneecap. Big time ouch!!!

    Ouch. I am sure we all recall the epic fall, Im starting to have
    balance issues and it's fortunately no broken bones but cracked a rib 4 months ago.

    When I had my cataract surgery my paperwork listed me as a "fall risk".
    So, I asked about that. And I was told that it is standard for patients
    over 70. (I'm 80).

    I am more cautious now than when I was younger and often use a cane if
    the footing is "variable" ... more for balance and steadiness than to
    help with a limp. Sort of like a tight-rope walker's pole. Bv)=

    Title: Circus Dog Mustard
    Categories: Sauces, Condiments
    Yield: 6 Servings

    3 tb Oil
    1 lg Onion; coarse chopped
    1 lg Bell pepper; coarse chopped
    2 cl Garlic; minced
    1/2 ts Celery seeds
    1/4 c Dijon mustard

    In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook the onion and
    green pepper over medium-low heat, stirring often, until
    the vegetables are softened and tinged with gold, about
    10 minutes. Add the garlic and celery seeds. Continue to
    cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and cook,
    stirring, for 3 minutes to blend flavors.

    The mustard sauce can be used immediately or cooled and
    refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days. Reheat gently
    to use.

    Notes: Makes about 2 cups; use for hot dogs, hamburgers,
    pork chops, and spareribs, fish steaks such as salmon or
    swordfish, or shrimp. We went to the circus every summer
    when I was a child. My fondest food memory is hot dogs
    on a bun slathered with golden pan-fried onions and
    peppers simmered in mustard.

    Summer and the circus are still magical times for me,
    so I have made this mustard for my children since they
    were little. They call it Circus Dog Mustard.

    I'm with ya on the cane use 'like a tight line walker balance'. Thats
    me on stairs. In airports now, I need a wheel chair assist.

    I find that I take stairs tentatively. One at a time .... even if there
    is a hand rail. Step up/down, bring the other foot along, repeat - until
    level ground/floor is reaches. Progress is dramatically slower than when
    I wore a younger man's clothes and practically ran on the stairs. My main objective is to arrive intact with no limps or bruises. Bv)=

    Next week I'll be in Pensacola FL all week, Wish me luck! Work travel sucks now.

    My kid brother (R.I.P.) used to was the executive chef at the O-Club of
    NAS Pepsi-Cola. Until he discovered that oil companies were paying north
    of U$1500/hour portal to portal to use his Navy training as an under
    water welder. (Hull Maintenance) Only worked five or six day a manth
    at that racket.

    Hello Carol,

    I'm with ya on the cane use 'like a tight line walker balance'. Thats me on
    stairs. In airports now, I need a wheel chair assist.

    Get one of those motorized chairs. Vroom! Vroom!
    Quad I know hooked up eight batteries to his and went
    zooming about in a shopping mall. Ran straight into
    a popcorn stand and made a real mess. Security made
    him unhook six of those batteries and warned him
    not to do it again ...

    Next week I'll be in Pensacola FL all week, Wish me luck! Work travel sucks now.

    Another storm in Gulf headed your way ...

    For Life,
    Lee
