Kirt: >>Suffice it to say that >>there is wide variance in folks reaction to raw animal foods (RAF). >>Instinctos, in grand agreement with your take on dairy, have long held >>dairy (even raw) as especially grusome. Ric: >Thanks. Didn't know that, but glad to hear it. Nice to have more than >just the raw in common. I'm not sure _I_ consider dairy particularily grusome (being the slipshod instincto that I am), though I have no desire to experiment any more than I have. A few years ago, Melisa and I sampled some raw milk and butter. Neither tasted good enough to eat for me (I was a bit grossed out with the milk actually). Melisa enjoyed a few ounces of milk and then left it be (a taste-change?). The milk ended up going bad without our "attention" and we gave the butter to my sister a couple months later. We don't much deny ourselves and raw food pleasures, so it seems somewhat certain that the raw dairy held no allure to our bodies at that time.) >>Have you been writing per chance? >Yup...both writing and traveling. Keep the candle burning. It seems I've done everything but bump into you at the Vista market (which has "improved" considerably since the first time I was dissappointed with it--telling more about me than the market I suspect ;)) Every vendor in the place seems to know you! (except the fish guy ;)) Cheers, Kirt
