sounds good and bad at the same time. just another aspect of the aging process. the digestive system just want handle things that it did when we were younger. lots of my food i eat when i was younger is reserved for when this old fool gets in a reckless mood and says "i am going to eat it anyway and just pay the price" -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth H.

It's where I had my first curry, pureed mango, and chupatees. Vietnamese food is great, just don't look in the pot. I love spring rolls, the fresh kind not fried like the Chinese ones. Good spring rolls are filled with greens and meat such as fish, shrimp or chicken. Also, learned to mix tabasco sauce with soy sauce as a marinade. Ooh, la, la. Thai is great lemon grass soup, the use of basil. I usually stay away from the hot stuff anymore also, the stomach just ain't what it used to be. Beth T. Subject: Re: Bobby's cough i like indian food. but it in the catagory of "don't like me." i can not eat it often. i have not got up the nerve to eat thai food or vietnamesse either. you can get lots of different asian foods here.
