    Carmel, Indiana
    And
    where is Carmel San Diego?

    I dunno where is "Carmel San Diego". Did you mean ?"Carmen Sandiego"?

    Carmen Sandiego (sometimes referred to as Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?) is a media franchise based on a series of computer games
    created by the American software company Broderbund.

    Carmel, Indiana - the portion of the recipe that you quoted is a city
    in the U.S. State of Indiana, immediately north of Indianapolis. With
    a population of 100,777, the city spans 49 square miles in area (130 km)

    Naw, she finally saw it my way. I talked tp her boss and he pulled
    her in. I am on terminal leave.

    Enjoy your retirement. I'm sure you won't be like some folks I have
    known who retired from their daily grind, went home, put their feet up
    and vegetated, waiting for the reaper. I just last week learned that
    one of my chilli-cooking friends has passed. According to his widow he
    retired, parked his arse in front of the glass teat and binge-watched
    whatever pap was coming down the pipe. He managed not quite two years
    before making Joanie a widow.

    spoke to Carol Shenkenberger about Finally, retirement! <=-

    Enjoy your retirement. I'm sure you won't be like some folks I have

    one of my chilli-cooking friends has passed. According to his widow he retired, parked his arse in front of the glass teat and binge-watched whatever pap was coming down the pipe. He managed not quite two years before making Joanie a widow.

    That certainly was not the case with me. I officially retired for the
    first time in 1995. I'm not sure when Carol officially retired for her
    first time before taking up her second career. In my case, I joined a consultant firm about six months afterwards. For a while that work was
    quite active for me, albeit usually less than 1/2 time. It was also
    good that much of it was unclassified. You in fact benefited from that
    since I hired you once as a consultant for a hours worth of work. My
    wife also benefited since I was able to hire her as a permanent employee
    to help with filing, scheduling etc. She ended up qualifying for SSI as
    a result. The other good part was that I could freely talk with her
    about what I was doing, something that was verboten for the previous
    decades. The consultant work started tapering off about five to ten
    years later and now that firm exists no longer. But, it was fun for me
    and quite profitable. That transition was also when I had the time to
    begin to learn how to cook Cajun type food.
